Sub-Sublandlord and Tenant, as Sub-Subtenant (the “700 Sublease”), Subtenant currently sub-subleases from Sedgwick a portion of the seventh (7th) floor of the Steuart Tower in the Building (the “Steuart Tower”
and such space, “Suite 700”). 

  

	C.	Pursuant to the terms of that certain Sublease dated as of July 11, 2011 by and between Sedgwick, as Sublandlord and Tenant, as Subtenant (the “800/1100
Sublease”; the 700 Sublease and the 800/1100 Sublease are collectively referred to herein as the “Subleases”), Subtenant currently subleases from Sedgwick the entire eighth (8th) and eleventh (11th) floors of the
Steuart Tower, known as Suite 800 and Suite 1100, respectively. 

  

	D.	The Subleases are scheduled to expire as of April 30, 2013, which is the scheduled date of expiration of Sedgwick’s lease of Suites 700, 800 and 1100.


  

	E.	Landlord and Tenant wish to expand the Premises effective as of May 1, 2013 (the “Expansion Date”), by adding:

	F.	Landlord and Tenant further wish to ultimately terminate the Lease with respect to the Current Premises. 









	G.	The Lease by its terms shall expire on April 30, 2013 (the “Current Termination Date”), and the parties desire to extend the Term of the Lease,
all on the following terms and conditions. 

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals which
by this reference are incorporated herein, the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows: 

1. Reconfiguration. 
 (a) Expansion. Effective as of the Expansion Date, the Premises, as defined in the Lease, is increased by the addition of the Expansion Space. The term for the Expansion Space shall commence on the
Expansion Date and end on the Extended Termination Date (as hereinafter defined). The Expansion Space is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Lease, except as expressly modified herein. 

(b) Reduction. Effective as of a date (the “Reduction Date”) to be specified by Tenant in a notice delivered to
Landlord at least thirty (30) days in advance (provided that the Reduction Date can be no earlier than April 1, 2013 and no later than September 1, 2013), the Premises, as expanded pursuant to Section 1(a) above, will be reduced
by the removal therefrom of the Current Premises. Tenant shall vacate the Current Premises in accordance with the terms of the Lease on or prior to the Reduction Date and shall fully comply with all obligations under the Lease respecting the Current
Premises up to the Reduction Date, including, without limitation, those provisions relating to the condition of the Current Premises and the removal of Tenant’s property from the Current Premises. Effective as of the Reduction Date, the Current
Premises shall be deemed surrendered by Tenant to Landlord, the Lease shall be terminated with respect to the Current Premises. In the event that Tenant remains in the Current Premises following the Reduction Date, the provisions of Section 36
of the Lease will apply. 
 (c) Premises Re-Defined. From and after the Reduction Date, the Premises will consist only of
the Expansion Space. 
 2. Delivery of Expansion Space. As of the First Amendment Effective
Date, Tenant is in occupancy of Suites 700, 800 and 1100 pursuant to the Subleases. Landlord will deliver possession of the 10th Floor Space to Tenant as of the Expansion Date. If and to the extent that Landlord fails to deliver possession of the
10th Floor Space (or any portion thereof) as of the Expansion Date for any reason, including, but not limited to, any holding over by the current occupant of any portion of the 10th Floor Space, any such delay shall not subject Landlord to any
liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom. If and to the extent that Landlord fails to deliver the
10th Floor Space in full to Tenant by the Expansion Date,
then the 10th Floor Rent Commencement Date will be delayed on a day for day basis for each day of delay in delivery of the 10th Floor Space beyond the Expansion Date. 
 3. Extension. The Term of the Lease is hereby extended for a period of seventy eight (78) months and shall expire on October 31, 2019 (the “Extended Expiration
Date”), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Lease. That portion of the Term of 

  
 2 








 
the Lease commencing the day immediately following the Current Termination Date (the “Extension Date”) and ending on the Extended Expiration Date shall be referred to herein as
the “Extended Term”, and unless the context clearly provides otherwise, from and after the Extension Date, references in the Lease to the “Term” shall be deemed to include the Extended Term, and references in the Lease to
the “Expiration Date” shall mean the Extended Expiration Date. 
 4. Base Rent.

	*	The “10th Floor Rent Commencement Date”. 

 (4) Abatement (Suites 700, 800 and 1100). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 4(a)(i) to the contrary, so long as Tenant is not in Default, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of
Base Rent payable for Suites 700, 800 and 1100 only, for the full calendar months of May and June, 2013 (the “Abatement Period”). The total amount of Base Rent abated during the Abatement Period is referred to herein as the
“Abated Rent”. If Tenant is in Default at any time during the Extended Term, (A) at Landlord’s option, all then-unamortized portions of the Abated Rent (assuming amortization of Abated Rent on a straight-line basis over
the Extended Term) previously credited to Tenant shall become due and payable to Landlord; and (B) if the Default occurs prior to the expiration of the Abatement Period, then, from and after the occurrence of such Default, there shall be no
further abatement of Monthly Rent pursuant to this Section 4(a)(4). 
 (ii) Current Premises. From and after the
Current Termination Date through the Reduction Date, if applicable, Tenant will pay Base Rent for the Current Premises the sum of $53.00 per rentable square foot per annum (i.e., $73,290.17 per month). 

5. Operating Expenses, Taxes and Insurance Expenses. During the Extended Term: 

(a) Tenant’s Share. 
 (i) Expansion Space. Tenant’s Share applicable to the Expansion Space shall be 4.18% (i.e., 67,059/1,605,263); and 
 (ii) Current Premises. For any period between the Current Termination Date and the Reduction Date, Tenant’s Share applicable to the Current Premises shall remain 1.03%. 

(b) Base Year. 
 (i) Expansion Space. The Base Year for Operating Expenses, Taxes and Insurance Expenses applicable to the Expansion Space will be the calendar year 2013; and 

  
 4 








 (ii) Current Premises. For any period from and after the Current Termination Date
through the Reduction Date, the Base Year for Operating Expenses, Taxes and Insurance Expenses applicable to the Current Premises shall remain the calendar year 2010. 
 (c) Proposition 8. Tenant will be entitled to “Proposition 8 protection” as described in Section 7(c) of the Lease. 

6. Letter of Credit. 
 (a) Generally. Pursuant to the Lease, Tenant originally delivered to Landlord a Letter of Credit in the face amount of $219,670.51. The face amount of the Letter of Credit has been reduced to
$146,580.34 pursuant to Section 10(f) of the Lease. Concurrently with Tenant’s execution and delivery of this First Amendment, Tenant will deliver to Landlord a new Letter of Credit (or an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit) in the
face amount (or, in the case of an amendment, amending the face amount of the existing Letter of Credit) to be $1,817,570.00. If the foregoing is accomplished by Tenant’s delivery of a new Letter of Credit, then upon such delivery, Landlord
will return to Tenant the Letter of Credit currently being held by Landlord. 
 (b) Reductions. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 6(a) above to the contrary, if, as of April 30, 2014 (and each successive anniversary of such date during the Extended Term [each, a “Reduction Date”]), Reduction Conditions (defined below) are
applicable, then, upon written notice by Tenant (and provided further that the Reduction Conditions additionally apply as of the date of delivery of such notice), the Letter of Credit amount may be reduced (by an amendment to the Letter of Credit)
by an amount equal to $363,514.00; provided, however, that in no event will the Letter of Credit amount ever be reduced below $727,028.00. As used herein, the “Reduction Conditions” shall mean (i) Tenant is not in Default under
Section 30(b) of the Lease (“Monetary Default”) the Lease, (ii) Tenant has not been in Monetary Default during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period and (iii) no event which, with notice, the passage
of time, or both, would constitute a Default then exists. 
 7. Improvements to Expansion Space. 

(a) Condition of Expansion Space. Tenant is in occupancy of Suites 700, 800 and 1100, and has inspected the 10th Floor Space and
agrees to accept all of the Expansion Space as of the Expansion Date in its “as is” condition, without any agreements, representations, understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to (i) perform any alterations, additions,
repairs or improvements, (ii) fund or otherwise pay for any alterations, additions, repairs or improvements to the Expansion Space, or (iii) grant Tenant any free rent, concessions, credits or contributions of money with respect to the
Expansion Space, except as may be expressly provided otherwise in this First Amendment. However, Landlord agrees that as of the Expansion Date, (x) there will be no outstanding construction-related lien claims with respect to the Expansion
Space which are attributable to Landlord’s acts or omissions and which would prevent Tenant from commencing construction of the Tenant Improvements (as defined in the Work Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Work
Agreement”)) therein and (y) the Expansion Space will be provided with electrical power as described in Section 15(a)(v) of the Lease. 

  
 5 








 (b) Responsibility for Improvements to Expansion Space. Tenant shall construct
improvements within the Expansion Space, and shall be entitled to an Allowance, in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, the Work Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B. 

8. Compliance with Law. Tenant’s obligations as set forth in Section 12(a) of the Lease will apply to the
Expansion Space, including without limitation, all restrooms located on full floors included within the Expansion Space (i.e., as of the Expansion Date, the eighth (8th), tenth (10th) and eleventh (11th) floors of the Steuart Tower).

 9. Right of First Offer. Section 53(a) of the Lease is deleted, null and void and of no further force or
effect and is replaced with the following: 
 (a) Generally. Subject to the rights of Building tenants existing as of the
First Amendment Effective Date, described in Exhibit C attached hereto (“Superior Rights”). Tenant shall have the right of first offer with respect to space located on the twelfth (12th) floor of the Steuart Tower (the
“Offering Space”) when any portion of the Offering Space becomes Available for Lease (described below). Offering Space shall be deemed to be “Available for Lease” when Landlord has determined that the current
occupant of the applicable Offering Space will not extend or renew the term of its lease for the Offering Space and no occupant has a Superior Right which is subject to exercise. After Landlord has determined that the Offering Space is Available for
Lease, Landlord shall advise Tenant (the “Advice”) of the terms (inclusive of the Base Rent rate [as the same may be escalated over the proposed term], which will be consistent with other recent comparable transactions entered into
within the Building) under which Landlord is prepared to lease such portion of the Offering Space to Tenant for a term equal to the greater of (x) the remainder of the then-current Term and the Extended Term and (y) two (2) years.
Except in the case of unexpected Availability due to the default by an existing occupant of Offering Space under its lease for such space, Landlord shall not deliver a First Offer Notice to Tenant less than four (4) months prior to the
anticipated date of Availability of the applicable Offering Space. Tenant may lease the Offering Space in its entirety only, under such terms, by delivering written notice of exercise to Landlord (“Notice of Exercise”) within ten
(10) Business Days after the date of delivery of the Advice, except that Tenant shall have no such Right of First Offer and Landlord need not provide Tenant with an Advice, if: 

(i) Tenant is in Default at the time Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or 

(ii) More than twenty five percent (25%) of the rentable area of the Premises is sublet (other than pursuant to a Permitted
Transfer) at the time Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or 
 (iii) Tenant’s interest in the Lease has been
assigned (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) prior to the date Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or 

(iv) Tenant is not occupying at least seventy five percent (75%) of the rentable area of the Premises on the date Landlord would
otherwise deliver the Advice. 

  
 6 








 (b) Terms. The term for the Offering Space shall commence upon the commencement date
stated in the Advice and such Offering Space shall be considered a part of the Premises, and the Base Year for the Offering Space will be the calendar year in which said term so commences, provided that all of the terms stated in the Advice shall
govern Tenant’s leasing of the Offering Space and only to the extent that they do not conflict with the Advice, the terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply to the Offering Space. 

(c) Limitation on Right of First Offer. The rights of Tenant hereunder with respect to any portion of the Offering Space shall
terminate on the earlier to occur of: (i) with respect to any portion of the Offering Space that is the subject of an Advice, Tenant’s failure to exercise its Right of First Offer within the ten (10) day period provided in
Section 9(a) above, and (ii) with respect to any portion of the Offering Space which would otherwise have been the subject of an Advice, the date Landlord would have provided Tenant an Advice if Tenant had not been in violation of one or
more of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 9(a) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant failed to deliver a Notice of Exercise with respect to Offering Space which is the subject of an Advice, Tenant
shall once again have the Right of First Offer with respect to the Offering Space if Landlord subsequently proposes to lease such Offering Space to a prospective tenant on terms that are substantially different than those set forth in the Advice.
For purposes hereof, the terms offered to a prospect shall be deemed to be substantially the same as those set forth in the Advice as long as there is no more than a ten percent (10%) reduction in the “bottom line” cost per rentable
square foot of the Offering Space to the prospect when compared with the “bottom line” cost per rentable square foot under the Advice, considering all of the economic terms of the both deals, respectively, including, without limitation,
the length of term, the net rent, any tax or expense escalation or other financial escalation and any financial concessions. 

(d) Offering Amendment. If Tenant exercises the Right of First Offer, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “Offering
Amendment”) adding the Offering Space to the Premises on the terms set forth in the Advice and reflecting the changes in the Base Rent, rentable area of the Premises, Tenant’s Share and other appropriate terms. A copy of the Offering
Amendment shall be (i) sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after receipt of the Notice of Exercise executed by Tenant, and (ii) executed by Tenant and returned to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days thereafter, but an
otherwise valid exercise of the Right of First Offer shall be fully effective whether or not the Offering Amendment is signed. 

10. Renewal Option. Section 53(b) of the Lease is deleted, null and void and of no further force or effect and is
replaced with the following: 
 (a) Renewal Option. 

(i) Grant of Option; Conditions. Tenant shall have the right (the “Renewal Option”) to further extend the Term
of the Lease for the entire Premises for one (1) additional period of five (5) years commencing on the day following the Extended Expiration Date and ending on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Termination Date (the “Renewal
Term”). Tenant may exercise the Renewal Option if: 

  
 7 








 (1) Landlord receives Tenant’s irrevocable notice of exercise (“Initial
Renewal Notice”) not earlier than July 31, 2018 and not later than October 31, 2018; and 
 (2) Tenant is
not in Default hereunder at the time that Tenant delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or as of the Extended Expiration Date; and 
 (3) No more than twenty five percent (25%) of the rentable area of the Premises is sublet (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) at the time that Tenant delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or
as of the Extended Expiration Date; and 
 (4) Tenant’s interest in this Lease has not been assigned (other than pursuant
to a Permitted Transfer) prior to the date that Tenant delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or as of the Extended Expiration Date. 
 (ii) Terms Applicable to the Renewal Premises During Renewal Term. The initial Base Rent rate per rentable square foot of the Premises during the Renewal Term shall equal the Prevailing Market
(hereinafter defined) rate per rentable square foot for the Premises. Base Rent during the Renewal Term shall increase, if at all, in accordance with the increases assumed in the determination of Prevailing Market rate. Tenant shall pay Expenses,
Taxes and Insurance Expenses for the Premises during the Renewal Term in accordance with the terms of this Lease. 
 (iii)
Initial Procedure for Determining Prevailing Market. After receipt of Tenant’s Initial Renewal Notice, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the applicable Base Rent rate for the Premises for the Renewal Term. Within fifteen (15) business
days after the date on which Landlord advises Tenant of the applicable Base Rent rate for the Renewal Term, Tenant shall either (i) give Landlord final binding written notice (“Binding Notice”) of Tenant’s agreement with
Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Market rate for the Renewal Term, or (ii) if Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination, provide Landlord with written notice of rejection (the “Rejection Notice”). If
Tenant fails to provide Landlord with either a Binding Notice or Rejection Notice within such fifteen (15) business day period, Tenant will be deemed to have delivered a Rejection Notice. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Binding Notice,
Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment (as defined below) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. If Tenant provides (or is deemed to provide) Landlord with a Rejection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in
good faith to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the Renewal Term. Upon agreement, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate within thirty (30) days after the date Tenant provides Landlord with a Rejection Notice (the “Negotiation Period”), the Prevailing Market rate will
be determined in accordance with the arbitration procedures described below. 
 (iv) Arbitration Procedure. 

(1) Landlord and Tenant, within five (5) days after the date of expiration of the Negotiation Period, shall each simultaneously
submit to the other, in a sealed 

  
 8 








 
envelope, its good faith estimate of the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the Renewal Term (collectively referred to as the “Estimates”). If the higher of such
Estimates is not more than 105% of the lower of such Estimates, then Prevailing Market rate shall be the average of the two Estimates. If the Prevailing Market rate is not resolved by the exchange of Estimates, then, within fourteen (14) days
after the exchange of Estimates, Landlord and Tenant shall each select a real estate broker to determine which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the Renewal Term. Each such real estate
broker so selected shall have had at least the immediately preceding ten (10) years’ experience as a real estate broker leasing first-class office space in the San Francisco financial district, with working knowledge of current rental
rates and practices. 
 (2) Upon selection, Landlord’s and Tenant’s brokers shall work together in good faith to
agree upon which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises. The Estimate chosen by the brokers shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint a broker within
the fourteen (14) day period referred to above, the broker appointed by the other party shall be the sole broker for the purposes hereof. If the two brokers cannot agree upon which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing
Market within twenty (20) days after their appointment, then, within fourteen (14) days after the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the two brokers shall select a third broker meeting the aforementioned criteria. Once the
third broker (the “Arbitrator”) has been selected as provided for above, then, as soon thereafter as practicable but in any case within fourteen (14) days, the Arbitrator shall make his or her determination of which of the two
Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate and such Estimate shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant. The parties shall share equally in the costs of the Arbitrator. Any fees of any appraiser, counsel or experts engaged directly
by Landlord or Tenant, however, shall be borne by the party retaining such appraiser, counsel or expert. 
 (3) If the
Prevailing Market rate has not been determined by the commencement date of the Renewal Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent upon the terms and conditions (i.e., Base Year and rate per rentable square foot) in effect during the last month of the Extended
Term for the Premises until such time as the Prevailing Market rate has been determined. Upon such determination, the Base Rent for the Premises shall be retroactively adjusted to the commencement of the Renewal Term. If such adjustment results in
an underpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment within thirty (30) days after the determination thereof. If such adjustment results in an overpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Landlord shall
credit such overpayment against the next installment of Base Rent due under the Lease and, to the extent necessary, any subsequent installments, until the entire amount of such overpayment has been credited against Base Rent. 

(v) Renewal Amendment. If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises the Renewal Option, Landlord shall prepare an amendment
(the “Renewal Amendment”) to reflect changes in the Base Rent, Base Year, term, termination date and other appropriate terms. Tenant shall execute and return the Renewal Amendment to Landlord within fifteen (15) Business Days
after Tenant’s receipt of same, but an otherwise valid exercise of the Renewal Option shall be fully effective whether or not the Renewal Amendment is executed. 

  
 9 








 (vi) Prevailing Market. For purposes hereof, “Prevailing Market”
shall mean the arms’ length fair market annual rental rate per rentable square foot under new and renewal leases and amendments with terms commencing on or about the date on which the Prevailing Market is being determined hereunder (but
excluding any renewal leases or amendments in which the rental components were (x) established by a pre-agreed mathematical formula (for example, a CPI escalator), or (y) limited by a pre-agreed “floor” or “cap”), for
tenants of comparable credit worthiness to the Tenant, for space comparable to the Renewal Premises in the Building and Class A office buildings comparable to the Building, in the San Francisco, California Financial District. The determination
of Prevailing Market shall take into account any material economic differences between the terms of this Lease and any comparison lease or amendment, such as rent abatements, construction costs and other concessions and the manner, if any, in which
the landlord under any such lease is reimbursed for operating expenses and taxes, as well as the level of improvements existing in the Premises and the views available from the Premises. 

11. Parking. From and after the Expansion Date, Tenant will have the right to license from Landlord seven (7) Spaces
in the on-site garage serving the Building (the “On-Site Spaces”) and twenty two (22) Spaces in the Off-Site Garage. As of the First Amendment Effective Date, the monthly rates for On-Site Spaces are $495.00 for unreserved On-Site
Spaces and $600.00 for reserved On-Site Spaces, and the monthly rates for Off-Site Spaces are $375.00 for unreserved Off-Site Spaces and $465.00 for reserved Off-Site Spaces. 
 12. Alterations. Tenant expressly acknowledges that, pursuant to the provisions of Section 22 of the Lease, except with respect to minor Alterations described in the first
(1st) sentence of Section 22(a), all work performed by or on behalf of Tenant in the Premises requires the prior written approval of Landlord, without exception, and that should Tenant perform any work of Alterations in the Premises in
violation of the provisions of Section 22 of the Lease, Landlord, at Landlord’s sole discretion, may require Tenant to remove such Alterations and/or reimburse Landlord for all costs (including imputed internal costs associated with time
spent by Building management employees reviewing and evaluating the work performed by Tenant) with respect to such unauthorized Alterations, plus a penalty in the amount of $5,000.00. 

13. Mortgagee’s Rights. Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts (as described in Section 38(e) of the Lease),
to obtain a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from Landlord’s current Lender.

 WORK AGREEMENT 
 THIS WORK AGREEMENT (“Work Agreement”) is
attached to and made a part of that certain First Amendment to Lease (the “First Amendment”) between PPF PARAMOUNT ONE MARKET PLAZA OWNER L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”) and RPX
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), pursuant to which Tenant has agreed to lease space containing approximately 67,059 rentable square feet (the “Expansion Space”) on the seventh (7th), eighth (8th),
tenth (10th) and eleventh (11th) floors of the Steuart Tower in the building commonly known as One Market Plaza, located at One Market Street, San Francisco, California (the “Building”). All capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the First Amendment or the Lease (as defined in the First Amendment). 
 SECTION 1 
 CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS 

1.1 Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings. Tenant shall retain Studio TMT as the architect/space planner (the
“Architect”) to prepare a space plan (the “Space Plan”). Tenant shall retain the engineering consultants designated by Landlord (the “Engineers”) to prepare all plans and engineering working
drawings and to perform all work relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life-safety, and sprinkler components of the Tenant Improvements. The Space Plan and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers
hereunder shall be known collectively as the “Construction Drawings.” All Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications determined by Landlord, and shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable
approval (as approved, the “Approved Working Drawings”). Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the base building plans, and Tenant and Architect shall be
solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith. Landlord’s review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s
review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers
and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith
and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings or the Approved Working Drawings. 
 1.2 Approved Working Drawings. In no event shall Tenant commence any construction work prior to Landlord’s written approval of the Construction Drawings. Landlord will notify Tenant of
Landlord’s approval (or disapproval) of any Construction Drawings within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of same. After approval by Landlord of the Construction 







 
Drawings, Tenant shall submit the same to the appropriate municipal authorities for all applicable building permits. Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s consultants
shall be responsible for obtaining any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Expansion Space and that obtaining the same shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided, however, that Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in executing
permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain any such permit or certificate of occupancy. Tenant shall not commence construction until all required governmental permits are obtained. No
changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written approval of Landlord. 
 1.3 Landlord’s Approval. Landlord’s approval of any matter under this Work Agreement may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion if Landlord determines that the same
would violate any provision of the Lease or this Work Agreement or would adversely affect the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning, life-safety or other systems of the Building, the curtain wall of the
Building, the structure or exterior appearance of the Building, or any other tenant’s use of such other tenant’s leased premises in the Building. 
 SECTION 2 
 TENANT IMPROVEMENTS 

2.1 Allowance. Tenant shall be entitled to an allowance (the “Allowance”) in the amount of (1) up to $50.00
per rentable square foot in the 10th Floor Space (i.e., $879,900.00) (the “10th Floor Allowance”), (2) up to $10.00 per rentable square foot in Suites 700 and 800 (i.e., $318,630.00) and (3) up to $15.00 per rentable
square foot in Suite 1100 (i.e., $263,970.00) for the costs relating to the initial design and construction of Tenant’s improvements which are permanently affixed to the Expansion Space (the “Tenant Improvements”). Tenant may
use the Allowance among the floors comprising the Expansion Space and does not have to use the Allowance based on the manner the Allowance is calculated; provided, however, that Tenant will be required to apply at least the 10th Floor Allowance to
Allowance Items attributable to the 10th Floor Space. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Work Agreement in a total amount which exceeds the Allowance. In the event that the Allowance is not fully utilized
by Tenant on or before December 31, 2014, then such unused amounts shall revert to Landlord, and Tenant shall have no further rights with respect thereto. 
 2.2 Disbursement of the Allowance. 
 2.2.1 Allowance Items. Except
as otherwise set forth in this Work Agreement, the Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord only for the following items and costs (collectively the “Allowance Items”):

shall deliver to Landlord: (i) a request for payment of the Contractor (defined below), approved by Tenant, in a form to be provided by Landlord, including a schedule of values and showing the percentage of completion, by trade, of the Tenant
Improvements, which details the portion of the work completed and the portion not completed; (ii) invoices from all of Tenant’s Agents (defined below), for labor rendered and materials delivered; (iii) executed conditional
mechanic’s lien releases from all of Tenant’s Agents (along with unconditional mechanics’ lien releases with respect to payments made pursuant to Tenant’s prior submission hereunder) which shall comply with all applicable laws,
as reasonably determined by Landlord, including, without limitation, all appropriate provisions of California Civil Code Section 3262(d); and (iv) all other information reasonably requested by Landlord. Tenant’s request for payment
shall be deemed Tenant’s acceptance and approval of the work furnished and/or the materials supplied as set forth in Tenant’s payment request. Thereafter, Landlord shall deliver a check to Tenant made jointly payable to Contractor and
Tenant in payment of the lesser of: (A) Landlord’s Share (defined in Section 3.2.1 below), the amounts so requested by Tenant, as set forth in this Section, less a ten percent (10%) retention (the aggregate amount of such
retentions to be known as the “Final Retention”), and (B) the balance of any remaining available portion of the Allowance (not including the Final Retention), provided that Landlord does not dispute any request for payment
based on non-compliance of any work with the Approved Working Drawings, or due to any substandard work, or for any other reason. Landlord’s payment of such amounts shall not be deemed Landlord’s approval or acceptance of the work furnished
or materials supplied as set forth in Tenant’s payment request. 

  
 B-3









 2.2.2.2 Final Retention. Subject to the provisions of this Work Agreement, a check
for the Final Retention payable jointly to Tenant and Contractor shall be delivered by Landlord to Tenant following the completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements, provided that (i) Tenant delivers to Landlord properly executed
mechanics’ lien releases from all of Tenant’s Agents in compliance with all applicable laws, as reasonably determined by Landlord, including, without limitation, compliance with both California Civil Code Section 3262(d)(2) and either
Section 3262(d)(3) or Section 3262(d)(4); (ii) Landlord has determined that no substandard work exists which adversely affects the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning, life-safety or other
systems of the Building, the curtain wall of the Building, the structure or exterior appearance of the Building, or any other tenant’s use of such other tenant’s leased premises in the Building; (iii) Architect delivers to Landlord a
certificate, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, certifying that the construction of the Tenant Improvements has been substantially completed; (iv) Tenant supplies Landlord with evidence that all required governmental approvals
required for Tenant to legally occupy the Premises have been obtained; and (v) Tenant has fulfilled its obligations pursuant to the terms of items (i) and (ii) of Section 3.3 below and has otherwise complied with Landlord’s

by Tenant for Allowance Items.

the Building standard components to be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises (collectively, the “Building Standards”), which Building Standards shall be supplied to Tenant by Landlord. The quality of
Tenant Improvements shall be equal to or of greater quality than the quality of the Building Standards. 
 SECTION 3

 CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS 
 3.1 Tenant’s Selection of Contractors. 
 3.1.1 The Contractor.
A general contractor using union labor shall be retained by Tenant to construct the Tenant Improvements. Such general contractor (“Contractor”) shall be approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written
notice of its selection of the Contractor upon such selection. 
 3.1.2 Tenant’s Agents. All subcontractors,
laborers, materialmen, and suppliers used by Tenant (such subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers, and the Contractor to be known collectively as “Tenant’s Agents”) must be union-affiliated or approved in writing
by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that Landlord may require Tenant to retain certain subcontractors designated by Landlord. If Landlord does not approve any of Tenant’s proposed subcontractors,
laborers, materialmen or suppliers, Tenant shall submit other proposed subcontractors, laborers, materialmen or suppliers for Landlord’s 

  
 B-4









 
written approval. All of Tenant’s Agents shall be licensed in the State of California, capable of being bonded and shall use union labor. 

3.2 Construction of Tenant Improvements by Tenant’s Agents. 

3.2.1 Construction Contract; Cost Budget; Landlord’s Share and Tenant’s Share. Prior to Tenant’s execution of the
construction contract and general conditions with Contractor (the “Contract”), Tenant shall submit the Contract to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. As construction progresses,
on a monthly basis, Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of Tenant’s Share (defined below) of the monthly allocation of the Final Costs, and Landlord shall be responsible for the payment of Landlord’s Share of such monthly Final
Costs. As used herein, “Tenant’s Share” shall mean a portion of the Final Costs equal to the Final Costs multiplied by a fraction, the denominator of which is the Final Costs and the numerator of which is the Allowance, and
“Landlord’s Share” shall mean a portion of the Final Costs equal to the Final Costs multiplied by a fraction, the denominator of which is the Final Costs and the numerator of which is the sum arrived at by deducting the
Allowance from the Final Costs. In the event that, after the initial determination of the Final Costs has been delivered by Tenant to Landlord, the costs relating to the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements shall change,
Landlord’s Share and Tenant’s Share shall be adjusted, as necessary, to account for such change(s). 
 3.2.2

3.2.2.2 Indemnity. Tenant’s indemnity of Landlord as set forth in the Lease shall also apply with respect to any and all
costs, losses, damages, injuries and liabilities related in any way to any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or in connection with Tenant’s non-payment of any amount
arising out of the Tenant Improvements and/or Tenant’s disapproval of all or any portion of any request for payment. Such indemnity by Tenant, as set forth in the Lease, shall also apply with respect to any and all costs, losses, damages,
injuries and liabilities related in any way to Landlord’s performance of any ministerial acts reasonably necessary (i) to permit Tenant to complete the Tenant Improvements, and (ii) to enable Tenant to obtain any building permit or

 3.2.5 Meetings. Commencing at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall hold
weekly meetings, at a reasonable time, with the Architect and the Contractor regarding the progress of the preparation of Construction Drawings and the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and Landlord and/or its agents shall receive prior
written notice of, and shall have the right to attend, all such meetings, and, upon Landlord’s request, certain of Tenant’s Agents shall attend such meetings. In addition, minutes shall be taken at all such meetings, a copy of which
minutes shall be promptly delivered to Landlord. One such meeting each month shall include the review of Contractor’s current request for payment.

completion of construction, (i) Tenant shall cause the Architect and Contractor (A) to update the Approved Working Drawings as necessary to reflect all changes made to the Approved Working Drawings during the course of construction,
(B) to certify to the best of their knowledge that the updated drawings are true and correct, which certification shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease, and (C) to deliver to Landlord two (2) CD ROMS of such updated
