 4 








 
Landlord (the “Early Termination Date”). Provided that Tenant validly exercises the Termination Option and surrenders the Premises to
the Landlord in the condition required by the Lease on the Early Termination Date, the Lease shall terminate with respect to the Premises on the Early Termination Date. At Landlord’s election, the Termination Option and any exercise thereof
shall be void if an uncured default by Tenant exists at the time of exercise of the Termination Option or at any time thereafter. Tenant shall not be entitled to revoke its exercise of the Termination Option without Landlord’s consent, which
may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. If Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option has not been revoked with Landlord’s consent, or voided at Landlord’s election due to the occurrence of a default with respect
to Tenant, and Tenant fails to vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition required by the Lease on the Early. Termination Date, in addition to the Termination Fee, the holdover provisions of Paragraph 8 of the Lease shall also
apply. “Termination Fee” means an amount equal to the sum of (x) three (3) months’ Rent (at the then-current rate); and (y) an amount equal to the Unamortized Percentage
multiplied by $54,444, which is the leasing commission paid by Landlord in connection with this Second Amendment. “Unamortized Percentage” means a percentage computed by dividing the number of months remaining In the Term of
the Lease after the Early Termination Date by thirty-nine (39). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Termination Option shall be null and void if Tenant has exercised its Right of First Offer pursuant to Paragraph 10 below.

 10. Right of First Offer on Ingrian Space. The space owned by Landlord depicted on Exhibit B consisting of 20,014 rentable
square feet and located in the Building (“Ingrian Space”) is currently leased to Ingrian (such tenant and any other tenant occupying the Ingrian Space pursuant to the lease in effect with respect to the Ingrian Space on the
date hereof, as the same may be amended or restated, is referred to as “Ingrian Space Tenant”), if the Ingrian Space Tenant does not exercise its option to extend the term of the lease with respect to the Ingrian Space beyond
its current scheduled expiration date of January 31, 2007, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written notice no later than August 15, 2006 (“Ingrian Space Notice”) offering to lease the Ingrian Space to Tenant on
the following terms (the “Right of First Offer”): (i) possession of the Ingrian Space shall be delivered to Tenant in its “as-is” condition as soon as reasonably practicable after the Ingrian Space Tenant
vacates the Ingrian Space; (ii) the term of the lease of the Ingrian Space shall commence upon Landlord’s delivery of possession and shall expire on the Expiration Date; (iii) the Monthly Rent payable with respect to the Ingrian Space
shall be at the rental rate that is applicable to the Premises (including scheduled Inc, cases);-and (iv) Tenant’s Percentage Share and Tenant’s Building Share shall be increased pro rata to reflect the square footage of the Ingrian Space.
Tenant shall have until August 31, 2006 to elect by delivery of written notice to Landlord (x) to lease the Ingrian Space on all of the terms and conditions of the Ingrian Space Notice; or (y) not to lease the Ingrian Space. Tenant’s
election pursuant to clause (x) or (y), as applicable, shall be irrevocable. If Landlord has not received written notice of Tenant’s election by August 31, 2006, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to lease the Ingrian Space
and Landlord shall be free to lease the Ingrian Space to any third party upon any terms and conditions Landlord elects in its sole discretion. If Tenant timely exercises its Right of First Offer with regard to the Ingrian Space Notice pursuant to
clause (x) above, the parties shall enter into an amendment to the Lease to include the Ingrian Space on the terms of the Ingrian Space Notice. If Landlord and Tenant fail to enter into a lease amendment within twenty-one (21) days after
Tenant exercises its option to lease the Ingrian Space, and Landlord has acted 

  

 5 








 
with commercially reasonable diligence, then Landlord shall be free to lease the Ingrian Space to a third party without any liability to Tenant. At
Landlord’s election, to be made in Landlord’s sole discretion, the Right of First Offer shall be inapplicable and null and void in its entirety (aa) if Tenant assigns Its interest in the Lease to any party (except to a transferee pursuant
to a Permitted Transfer) and/or (bb) during the continuance of an uncured default by Tenant under the Lease. 
 11. Exit Corridor
Modifications. Tenant desires that certain modifications be made to certain exit corridors providing access to the Premises, as more particularly described on Exhibit C. Landlord agrees to make such exit corridor modifications subject to
Tenant reimbursing Landlord for an amount equal to Tenant’s Building Share (45.11%) of the cost of making such modifications. Landlord shall not have the right to expand the scope of the exit corridor modifications except to the extent
required to comply with the requirements of the City of Redwood City or other laws that are applicable to such exit corridor requirements, The reimbursement by Tenant shall constitute Additional Rent and shall be made in equal installments over a
twelve (12) month period with interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. Tenant shall commence paying such installments on the first day of the calendar month following the month in which such exit corridor modifications have
been substantially completed and shall pay such installments in the same manner and at the same time as installments of Monthly Rent. Landlord shall provide Tenant with an estimate of the cost of the exit corridor modifications. However, the
estimate shall not limit Tenant’s obligation to pay an amount equal to Tenant’s Building Share (45.11%) of the actual cost of the exit corridor modifications in the manner provided above. 
 12. Energy Management Control System. Tenant shall have the right to request that Landlord activate components/zones of the Energy Management
Control System serving the Premises outside the normal operating hours that are determined by Landlord from time to time. Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s requests within twenty-four (24) hours. All costs associated with operating any of
the components/zones of the Energy Management Control System (without any markup or other fee charged by Landlord) outside their normal operating hours shall be paid by Tenant within five (5) business days after Tenant’s receipt of a
written request from Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that certain components/zones of the Energy Management Control System cannot be operated in a manner that serves the Premises exclusively. 
 13. Common Area Maintenance Costs. Clause (v) of Paragraph 3.D. “Common Area Maintenance Costs” is amended by deleting the Word
“management”. 
 14. Antenna on Roof Space. Subject to Landlord’s structural engineer’s
(“Landlord’s Structural Engineer”) review and approval, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right throughout the Term of the Lease to use certain available space designated and approved by Landlord on the roof of the

in compliance with the other provisions of the Lease, including, without limitation Article 13. Landlord may require that the antenna meet Landlord’s reasonable requirements with regard to size, color,
