ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 644 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, THE DECISION OF THE REFEREE UPON THE WHOLE ISSUE MUST STAND AS THE DECISION OF THE COURT, AND UPON THE FILING OF THE STATEMENT OF DECISION WITH THE CLERK OF THE COURT, OR WITH
THE JUDGE IF THERE IS NO CLERK, JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED THEREON IN THE SAME MANNER AS IF THE ACTION HAD BEEN TRIED BY THE COURT. THE PARTIES SHALL PROMPTLY AND DILIGENTLY COOPERATE WITH ONE ANOTHER AND THE REFEREE, AND SHALL PERFORM SUCH ACTS AS MAY

AFTER THE ISSUANCE OF THE DECISION OF THE REFEREE, MAY APPLY TO THE COURT OF THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED FOR CONFIRMATION BY THE COURT OF THE DECISION OF THE REFEREE IN THE SAME MANNER AS A PETITION FOR CONFIRMATION OF AN

Letter, attached hereto.

Agreement dated March 1, 2007 by and between Tenant and Continuous Computing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Continuous”). Tenant further understands and agrees that the Tenant Improvement Work described in Exhibit A shall not
commence until Tenant obtains permission from Continuous to perform such work in the Premises.

amendment, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord, to Tenant’s existing letter of credit pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Lease increasing the amount thereof to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00). Landlord
shall authorize reductions to the letter of credit in the amount of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) on December 31st of each year with the first reduction on December 31, 2007; provided that any such reduction shall be conditioned
upon (i) Tenant not having been in default under this Lease at any time, (ii) Tenant having a minimum of $8 million in cash or current assets, and (iii) a written request for such reduction having been submitted to Landlord not
earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable reduction date. Tenant shall provide Landlord with current audited financial statements evidencing Tenant’s minimum balance.

MODIFICATIONS” above and can be changed only by a writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. 

  

	 	C.	Counterparts. If this Amendment is executed in counterparts, each is hereby declared to be an original; all, however, shall constitute but one and the same
amendment. In any action or proceeding, any photographic, photostatic, or other copy of this Amendment may be introduced into evidence without foundation.

the Lease, unless they are otherwise defined in this Amendment. 

  

	 	E.	Corporate and Partnership Authority. If Tenant is a corporation or partnership, or is comprised of either or both of them, each individual executing this
Amendment for the corporation or partnership represents that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Amendment on behalf of the corporation or partnership and that this Amendment is binding upon the corporation or partnership in
accordance with its terms.

(collectively, “Tenant Parties”) is listed as a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person (“SDN”) on the list of such persons and entities issued by the U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). In the event

 EXHIBIT A 
 WORK LETTER 
 DOLLAR ALLOWANCE 

[SECOND GENERATION SPACE] 
  

	I.	TENANT IMPROVEMENTS 

 The
tenant improvement work (“Tenant Improvements”) shall consist of any work required to complete the Premises pursuant to approved plans and specifications. Tenant shall employ its own architect and general contractor in constructing the
Tenant Improvements, which shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval. The general contractor shall be selected and engaged by Tenant on the basis of a competitive bid or competitive negotiation and shall be Burger Construction. The work
shall be undertaken and prosecuted in accordance with the following requirements: 
  

	 	A.	The space plans, construction drawings and specifications for all improvements and finishes, together with any changes thereto, shall be submitted to Landlord (with
samples as required) for review and approval by Landlord and its architect for the Project. Landlord may require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Tenant Improvements that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are of a nature that
would require removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal and repair costs associated with standard office improvements. Should Landlord approve work that would necessitate any ancillary Building modification or other
expenditure by Landlord, then except to the extent of any remaining balance of the “Landlord Contribution” as described below, Tenant shall, in addition to its other obligations herein, promptly fund the cost thereof to Landlord.


  

	 	B.	All construction drawings prepared by Tenant’s architect shall follow Landlord’s CAD standards, which standards shall be provided to Tenant or its architect
upon request. 

  

	 	C.	Landlord shall, subject to the foregoing, approve or disapprove any submittal of plans or specifications by Tenant within five (5) business days following receipt
thereof by Landlord. 

  

	 	D.	Tenant shall use the electrical, mechanical, plumbing and fire/life safety engineers and subcontractors designated by Landlord. All other subcontractors shall be
subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. 

  

	 	E.	Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the final application for permit and issued permit for the construction work. 


 

	 	F.	Tenant’s general contractor and each of its subcontractors shall comply with Landlord’s requirements as generally imposed on third party contractors,
including without limitation all insurance coverage requirements and the obligation to furnish appropriate certificates of insurance to Landlord prior to commencement of construction. 


 

	 	G.	A construction schedule shall be provided to Landlord, and updates shall be supplied during the progress of the work. 


 

	 	H.	Tenant shall give Landlord ten (10) days prior written notice of the commencement of construction so that Landlord may cause an appropriate notice of
non-responsibility to be posted. 

  

	 	I.	Landlord’s construction manager may attend weekly job meetings with Tenant and its general contractor for the Project. 


 

	 	J.	Upon completion of the work, Tenant shall cause to be provided to Landlord (i) as-built drawings of the Premises signed by Tenant’s architect, (ii) CAD
files of the improved space compatible with Landlord’s CAD standards, (iii) a final punchlist signed by Tenant, (iv) final and unconditional lien waivers from all contractors and subcontractors, (v) a duly recorded Notice of
Completion of the improvement work, and (vi) a certificate of occupancy for the Premises (collectively, the “Close-out Package”). Should Tenant fail to provide complete CAD files compatible with Landlord’s standards as required
herein, Landlord may cause its architect to prepare same and the cost thereof shall be reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant within ten (10) days of invoice therefor. 


 

	 	K.	The work shall be prosecuted at all times in accordance with all state, federal and local laws, regulations and ordinances, including without limitation all OSHA and
other safety laws. 

  

	 	L.	All of the provisions of this Lease shall apply to any activity of Tenant, its agents and contractors, in the Premises prior to the Commencement Date.


 Landlord shall not be liable in any way for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any work performed by
Tenant, nor shall Landlord be responsible for repairing any defective condition therein. In no event shall Tenant’s failure to complete the Tenant Improvements extend the Commencement Date of the Lease. 

  
 5 









	II.	COST OF THE WORK 

  

	 	A.	Provided that the final cost estimate for the Tenant Improvements equals at least $962,920.00, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a tenant improvement allowance in the
amount of Four Hundred Eighty-One Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Dollars ($481,460.00) (the “Landlord Contribution”), with any excess cost to be borne solely by Tenant. The Landlord Contribution shall also be utilized to fund space planning
and other architectural costs (including the reasonable cost charged by Landlord’s architect to review Tenant’s drawings and CAD files), construction costs and plan check and permit fees. It is understood that Landlord shall be entitled to
a supervision/administrative fee equal to five percent (5%) of the Landlord Contribution, which fee shall be paid from the Landlord Contribution. If the actual cost of completion of the Tenant Improvements is less than $962,920.00, such savings
shall inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit or payment or to apply the savings toward additional work. 

  

	 	B.	Landlord shall fund the Landlord Contribution (less deductions for the above-described supervision fee and charges of Landlord’s architect) in installments as and
when costs are incurred and a payment request therefor is submitted by Tenant. Each payment request shall include a copy of all supporting invoices, unconditional progress payment lien waivers (in the form prescribed by the California Civil Code),
and pertinent back-up (including copies of Tenant’s payment checks to its contractors and suppliers). Landlord shall fund the payment request within thirty (30) days following receipt of the application and supporting materials; provided
that a ten percent (10%) retention shall be held on payments to Tenant until Landlord receives the complete Close-out Package. The remaining balance of the Landlord Contribution shall be funded when Landlord receives the complete Close-out
Package. Prior to any payment by Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall provide to Landlord in writing the address to which such payment is to be delivered, together with a complete copy of the construction contract(s) for the Tenant Improvements.
