     This Partial Lease Termination Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 16th
day of May, 2001, by and between Harbor Investment Partners, a California general
partnership (“Landlord”), and Financial Engines, Inc., a California corporation
(“Tenant”).



Recitals




     A. Landlord and Tenant have previously entered into that certain Lease Agreement dated
July 14, 1997, as amended by a First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated as of November 24, 1998, a
Second Amendment to Lease Agreement dated as of November 15, 1999, and a Third Amendment to Lease
Agreement dated as of June 5, 2000 (as amended, the “Lease”).



     B. The Lease covers certain premises consisting of approximately (i) eleven thousand one
hundred forty-five (11,145) rentable square feet commonly known as Suite 200 (the “Original
Premises”) in the building located at 1804 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto, California (the
“Building”), (ii) seventeen thousand six hundred seventy-two (17,672) rentable square feet commonly
known as Suite 100 (“Suite 100”) in the Building, (iii) two thousand one hundred seventeen (2,117)
rentable square feet commonly known as Suite 102 (“Suite 102”) in the Building, and (iv) three
thousand eighty-one (3,081) rentable square feet commonly known as Suite 202 (“Suite 202”) in the
Building (Suite 100, Suite 102 and Suite 202 are collectively referred to herein as the “Expansion
Premises”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them
in the Lease.



     C. Landlord and Tenant have also previously entered into that certain Lease Agreement dated
December 7, 1999 (the “1830 Lease”), which covers certain premises consisting of approximately
thirty-two thousand seven hundred forty-two (32,742) rentable square feet (the “1830 Premises”) in
the building located at 1830 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto, California.



     D. Landlord and Tenant mutually desire to cancel and terminate the Lease only with respect to
the Original Premises containing eleven thousand one hundred forty-five (11,145) rentable square
feet prior to the scheduled expiration date thereof (the “Scheduled Expiration Date”), all upon and
subject to the terms and conditions herein provided.



     Now Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained
herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:



1. Partial Lease Termination




     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Landlord and Tenant
hereby agree that the Lease shall be terminated only with respect to the Original Premises
effective as of the later of (i) the close of business on May 16, 2001, or (ii) the satisfaction of
the termination conditions set forth in Paragraph 2 below (the “Termination Date”). On or before
the Termination Date, Tenant shall vacate and surrender possession of the Original Premises to
Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to remove any furniture or



 









 




fixtures from the Original Premises to the extent that the same are being conveyed to and accepted
by the Replacement Tenant (as defined below) (the “Remaining Furniture”); and provided, further,
that Tenant shall not be required to remove or pay for the removal of any alterations or additions
made by Tenant to the Original Premises during the Term.




     (b) Upon termination of the Lease with respect to the Original Premises only, the vacation and
surrender of the Original Premises by Tenant, and satisfaction of the Termination Conditions (as
hereafter defined), Landlord and Tenant shall have no further rights, obligations or claims with
respect to each other arising under the Lease with respect to the Original Premises except for
(a) the indemnification obligations of Tenant contained in the Lease, (b) the obligation of Tenant
to pay any remaining Additional Rent owed for calendar year 2001 when billed to Tenant in 2002 or
the obligation Landlord to repay or credit to Tenant any overpayment by Tenant of Additional Rent,
as applicable, in accordance with Paragraph 4(c) of the Lease, and (c) any obligations of Tenant or
Landlord under the Lease which expressly survive the termination of the Lease (such obligations
described in the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c) being herein referred to as the “Surviving
Obligations”). The Surviving Obligations shall survive the execution of this Agreement and the
termination of the Lease with respect to the Original Premises.



     (c) Landlord and Tenant agree and acknowledge that notwithstanding the cancellation and
termination of the Lease with respect to the Original Premises, this Agreement shall have no effect
on the rights and obligations of either Landlord or Tenant with respect to the Expansion Premises
or the 1830 Premises and the Lease covering the Expansion Premises and the 1830 Lease covering the
1830 Premises shall continue to remain in full force and effect.



2. Termination Conditions




     The following conditions shall be conditions precedent to the termination of the Lease with
respect to the Original Premises on the Termination Date (collectively, the “Termination
Conditions”):



     (a) Performance by Tenant. Tenant shall have performed all of its obligations under the Lease
through the Termination Date, as and when such obligations shall have become due, including,
without limitation, the payment of monthly installments of base rent, additional rent and any other
sums required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord.



     (b) Surrender of the Original Premises. Except as set forth in Paragraph 1(a) above, Tenant
shall have vacated and surrendered the Original Premises to Landlord in accordance with the
provisions of the Lease on or before the Termination Date, including, without limitation, the
removal by Tenant of all of its personal property.



     (c) Execution of Replacement Lease. Landlord and a replacement tenant acceptable to Landlord
in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Replacement Tenant”), shall have entered into a binding
lease agreement (the “Replacement Lease”) covering the Original Premises, which Replacement Lease
shall be on terms approved by Landlord in its sole discretion. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that
the execution of a Replacement Lease by Landlord is speculative and that no assurance can be given
that a Replacement Lease will be executed.



2









 




The Termination Conditions are for the sole benefit of Landlord and may, at the sole discretion of
Landlord, be waived by Landlord. If any or all of the Termination Conditions are not satisfied as
required, then Landlord may unilaterally terminate this Agreement and reinstate the Lease with
respect to the Original Premises (in which event the Lease covering the Original Premises and the
Expansion Premises shall remain in full force and effect through the Scheduled Expiration Date) or
Landlord may consider the Lease with respect to the Original Premises terminated as of the
Termination Date; provided, however, that if either or both of the conditions precedent set forth
in Paragraphs 2(a) and (b) above are not fully satisfied when the Lease is terminated as of the
Termination Date, then Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord any and all damages arising from
the failure or satisfaction of such condition(s) precedent. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees
that in reliance on the execution of this Agreement by Tenant, Landlord shall attempt to enter into
the Replacement Lease with a Replacement Tenant. Tenant hereby further acknowledges and agrees
that any delay in the Termination Date will materially and adversely affect Landlord’s ability to
perform its obligations under any such Replacement Lease, including, without limitation, its
obligation to deliver possession of the Original Premises to the Replacement Tenant, and Landlord
will incur substantial damages and costs, which are foreseeable, if Tenant fails to perform its
obligations under this Agreement. Accordingly, Tenant agrees to take all actions necessary to
cause the conditions set forth in Paragraphs 2(a) and (b) above to be fully satisfied.




3. Abandoned Property




     In addition to any rights Landlord may have under the Lease or this Agreement, Landlord, at
its sole option, may deem any furniture, fixtures, shelving, cabinets, tables, equipment, lighting,
and other fixtures or personal property in, on or attached to the Original Premises and remaining
in or on the Original Premises after the Termination Date (the “Abandoned Property”), whether or
not belonging to Tenant, to be abandoned, and Landlord may dispose of the Abandoned Property as it,
in its sole discretion, deems appropriate; provided, however, that the Remaining Furniture shall
not constitute Abandoned Property. Tenant shall not be entitled to any proceeds received by
Landlord as a result of the disposition of the Abandoned Property. Tenant waives, to the greatest
extent permitted by law, all of its rights under California Civil Code Sections 1980, et seq. as
the same may be amended from time to time, and any related and successor statutes thereto.



4. Tenant’s Representations and Warranties




     Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord the following, each of which shall survive
the termination of the Lease with respect to the Original Premises and the vacation and surrender
of the Original Premises:



     (a) Tenant has not made any assignment, sublease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of
the Lease, Tenant’s leasehold estate, the Original Premises, or any other right, title or interest

cause of action arising from or pursuant to the Lease or arising from any rights of possession
arising under or by virtue of the Lease, Tenant’s leasehold estate, or the Original
