      FIRST AMENDMENT TO
SUBLEASE

    

    
      


      This
FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (“Amendment”) is made and entered into effective as of
May 25, 2010 (“Effective Date”), by and between SAPIENT CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (“Sublandlord”), and CORNERSTONE ONDEMAND, INC, a Delaware
corporation (“Subtenant”).

      


      Recitals

      


      A.
Sublandlord and Subtenant entered into that certain Sublease dated January 31,
2006, approved by Water Garden Realty Holding LLC, a California limited
liability company (“Master Landlord”) by that certain Consent to Sublease dated
February 14, 2006 (collectively, the “Sublease”) for sublease premises
consisting of approximately eleven thousand seven hundred sixty-six (11,766)
rentable square feet of the Master Premises located on the sixth floor of the
Building and shown in Exhibit B to the Sublease (the “Initial Premises”), with a
term expiring November 30, 2011.

      


      B. The
parties now seek, subject to Master Landlord consent, to expand the Sublease
Premises to include approximately thirteen thousand two hundred twenty-two
(13,222) rentable square feet of the Master Premises on the sixth (6th)
floor of the Building as shown on Exhibit B-1 to this Amendment (the
“Expansion Premises”), and to establish the rent for the Expansion Premises to
be occupied by Subtenant from the Expansion Date, defined below, through the
remainder of the Sublease Term. Following the Expansion Date, the Initial
Premises and the Expansion Premises shall be together referred to as the
Sublease Premises.

      


      NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby
agrees as follows:

      


      Section
1. Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms when
used herein shall have the same meaning as is given such terms in the Sublease
(and the Master Lease as incorporated therein) unless expressly superseded by
the terms of this Amendment.

      


      Section
2. Expansion
Premises. A new Subsection 2(c) is
hereby added to the Sublease as follows:

      


      (c)
Expansion of the Sublease Premises.

      


      
        	
              	
                (i)

              	
                Effective
      as of the date that Sublandlord delivers possession of the Expansion Space
      to Subtenant (the “Expansion Date”), Sublandlord subleases to Subtenant on
      the terms set forth herein, the Expansion Premises. From and after the
      Expansion Date the term “Sublease Premises” as used in the Sublease shall
      reference collectively the Initial Premises and Expansion Premises. The
      Term of the Sublease for the collective Sublease Premises shall expire on
      November 30, 2011. It is anticipated that Sublandlord shall be ready to
      deliver possession the Expansion Premises to Subtenant on or about August
      1, 2010, provided, however, if, Sublandlord is unable for any reason to
      deliver possession of the Expansion Premises by such date, Sublandlord
      shall not have any liability whatsoever to Subtenant on account of
      Sublandlord’s inability to deliver possession of the Expansion Premises to
      Subtenant, and this Amendment shall not be rendered void or voidable as a
      result of such delay.

      condition of the Expansion Premises, which Subtenant accepts in their
      “AS-IS” condition with all faults; and Sublandlord makes no representation
      or warranty with respect to current compliance or non-compliance of the
      Expansion Premises, or contemplated use of the Expansion Premises, with
      applicable laws, codes and
regulations.

conjunction with its occupancy of the Temporary Expansion Space and the
Expansion Space. Sublandlord shall make best efforts to give Subtenant at least
ten (10) business days notice prior to Sublandlord relocating to the fourth
(4th) floor of the
Building. On the Expansion Date, Sublandlord shall transfer to Subtenant
exclusive rights to any and all then-existing telephone and data wiring located
in the Expansion Space Premises. Following such transfer, Subtenant may relocate
to the Expansion Space Premises any wiring that previously ran from the 5th floor server
room to the Expansion Space Premises.
