SUBORDINATION TO AND INCORPORATION OF THE OVERLEASE. 
 (a) This Sublease is in all respects subject and subordinate to the terms and
conditions of the Overlease and to the matters to which the Overlease, including any amendments thereto entered into with the consent of Subtenant (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), is or shall be
subordinate. Subtenant agrees that Subtenant has reviewed and is familiar with the Overlease, and will not do or suffer or permit anything to be done which would result in a default or breach (whether or not subject to notice or grace periods) on
the part of Landlord under the Overlease or cause the Overlease to be terminated. If, however, the Overlease is terminated prior to its scheduled expiration, this Sublease shall likewise terminate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

 (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Sublease, the terms, covenants, conditions, rights, obligations, remedies and agreements of the Overlease are incorporated into this Sublease by reference and made a
part hereof as if fully set forth herein and shall constitute the terms of this Sublease, mutatis mutandis, Landlord being substituted for “Lessor” thereunder, Subtenant being substituted for “Lessee” thereunder,
and “Subleased Premises” being substituted 

  

 2 

 
for “Premises” thereunder, except to the extent that such terms do not relate to the Subleased Premises or are inapplicable to, or specifically
inconsistent with the terms of this Sublease. For the purposes of incorporation by reference, the term “Commencement Date”, as used in the Overlease, shall mean the Commencement Date under this Sublease, the term “Lease Term”, as
used in the Overlease, shall mean the Term under this Sublease, and the term “Expiration Date”, as used in the Overlease, shall mean the Expiration Date under this Sublease. If there is any inconsistency between the provisions of this
Sublease and the provisions of the Overlease, the provisions of this Sublease shall prevail as between Subtenant and Landlord. 
 (c) The
following provisions of the Overlease shall not be incorporated herein by reference and are expressly excluded from the terms of this Sublease (except to the extent expressly referenced and for the purposes used in this Sublease): Articles I
through III, and Sections 4.01 through 4.07 (provided that the provisions of Section 4.07 shall be the source for determining what costs may be passed through to Subtenant as part of the Direct Expenses, as such term is defined in
Section 4.(b) of this Sublease), 5.02(a), 5.03 through 5.05, 6.01, 6.02, 7.01, 7.03, Article VIII, Sections 9.01 (provided that the provisions of Section 9.01 shall be the source for determining what costs may be passed through to
Subtenant as part of the Direct Expenses, as such term is defined in Section 4.(b) of this Sublease), 9.02, 9.04, the first sentence of Section 10.01, Sections 11.06, 12.03 (but only the requirement to notify the holder of any first
mortgage or deed of trust and the last two sentences of Section 12.03), 16.01, 17.08, 17.15, 17.19, 17.22(b), 17.22(g), 17.24 and Exhibits A through H and Exhibits J, K, L and M; provided; however, that notwithstanding such
non-incorporation, this Sublease remains subject and subordinate to all of the foregoing provisions as provided in Section 3(a) above. 
 (d) Subtenant shall have the right to use Subtenant’s Proportionate Share of licenses/memberships or usage rights to the Amenities/Athletic Facility, subject to the terms and conditions of the Overlease. Based on the Athletic Facility
Letter, and subject to the provisions therein and the terms and conditions of the Overlease, Subtenant’s initial allocation of such licenses/memberships shall be 135. 
 4. RENT. 
 (a) From and after the
Commencement Date, Subtenant shall pay to Landlord annual fixed rent (the “Fixed Rent”) in the amounts set forth on Schedule 4 attached hereto. Fixed Rent shall be payable in advance in the monthly installments forth on Schedule
4, pro-rated on a per diem basis in the case of any partial months during the Term. Except as otherwise set forth herein, each monthly installment of Fixed Rent shall be payable on or before the first day of each month, without notice or demand
and without abatement, set-off or deduction. 
 (b) From and after the Commencement Date, Subtenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as additional
rent hereunder, an amount equal to “Subtenant’s Proportionate Share” of the following costs and expenses arising from and after the Commencement Date: (i) the amount payable by Landlord pursuant to Section 4.05 of the
Overlease, (ii) the amount payable by Landlord on account of real property tax (as defined in Section 9.01 of the Overlease) pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Overlease, and (iii) all costs and expenses of every kind and nature
paid or incurred by Landlord in the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Building and the 

  

 3 

 
Building Common Area, including, without limitation, the utility costs described in Section 19 below (“Landlord’s Building Expenses”)
(all such additional rent payable by Subtenant collectively referred to herein as “Direct Expenses”). There shall be excluded from the calculation of any management fee imposed by Landlord on Landlord’s Building Expenses any costs
imposed on Landlord under the Overlease and passed on to Subtenant as part of Direct Expenses. In no event shall Landlord’s Building Expenses include any costs or insurance deductibles associated with the repair of any damage to the Building or
the Building Common Area caused by casualty or condemnation; any real property tax directly related to tenant improvements constructed by or for the benefit of other subtenants of the Building; depreciation of the Building, Building Common Area or
any equipment; real estate brokers’ commissions; costs and expenses paid directly by other subtenants of the Building; or capital expenditures except as provided in Section 6.05 of the Overlease as if such provision was incorporated by
reference herein. For purposes of this Sublease, Landlord’s Building Expenses shall not include the cost of “Rent” payable by Landlord to Overlandlord under the Overlease since Landlord is recovering such costs from Subtenant through
Fixed Rent, Direct Expenses, Subtenant Surcharges and other amounts payable under this Sublease, if any, (as it is the intent of the parties to avoid any “double charging” for such amounts). In the event the Building is not at
least 95% occupied during any calendar year during the Term, then that portion of Landlord’s Building Expenses that vary based on occupancy shall be grossed up as if the Building were 95% occupied for such period. For purposes of this Sublease,
“Subtenant’s Proportionate Share” shall be calculated by dividing the rentable square footage of the Subleased Premises subject to this Sublease (at the time in question) divided by the total rentable square footage of the Building.
Initially, the Subtenant’s Proportionate Share is twenty-five percent (25%). 
 Subtenant shall pay Direct Expenses in monthly
installments on the first day of each month in an amount set forth in a written estimate by Landlord. Landlord shall deliver to Subtenant a written estimate of the payments for Direct Expenses for the upcoming calendar year promptly upon receipt of
such similar statements from Overlandlord, together with copies of the statements received from Overlandlord. Promptly upon Landlord’s receipt of any year-end statement from Overlandlord, Landlord shall furnish to Subtenant a similar statement
(“Landlord’s Statement”) of the actual amount of Direct Expenses for the year. Within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Subtenant shall pay to Landlord, as Direct Expenses, or Landlord shall remit to Subtenant, as the case may be,
the difference between the estimated amounts paid by Subtenant and the actual amount of Subtenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Expenses for such period. 
 Subtenant shall have the right to review and adjust Landlord’s Statement in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.08 of the Overlease, except that the first sentence of Section 4.08(b)
shall be inapplicable and is not incorporated into this Sublease. Subtenant’s review shall be at a location in the San Francisco Bay area reasonably determined by Landlord. This paragraph shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of
this Sublease. 
 (c) In addition to the Fixed Rent and Direct Expenses, Subtenant agrees to pay to Landlord all Subtenant Surcharges (as
hereinafter defined) as additional rent hereunder as hereinafter provided. As used herein, the term “Subtenant Surcharges” shall mean any and all amounts which become due and payable by Landlord to the Overlandlord under the Overlease

  

 4 

 
(without additional charge or profit to Landlord) as “Additional Rent” (as such term is defined in the Overlease) which would not have become due
and payable but for the acts and/or failures to act of Subtenant under this Sublease or which are otherwise attributable to the Subleased Premises, including, but not limited to: (i) any increases in the Overlandlord’s fire, rent or other
insurance premiums resulting from any act or omission of Subtenant, and (ii) any additional rent or charges under the Overlease payable by Landlord on account of any other additional service as may be provided under the Overlease, or with the
consent of the Overlandlord. Subtenant Surcharges shall not include any costs or charges that have been expressly excluded from other payment obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease. Subtenant shall pay any Subtenant Surcharge within fifteen
(15) days after the presentation of the Overlandlord’s statements therefor by the Landlord to Subtenant. 
 (d) Any failure or
delay by Landlord in billing any sum set forth in this Section 4 shall not constitute a waiver of Subtenant’s obligation to pay the same in accordance with the terms of this Sublease. 
 (e) Landlord shall promptly furnish to Subtenant a copy of each notice or statement from the Overlandlord affecting the Subleased Premises with respect
to Subtenant’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, notices of default against Landlord and statements regarding Additional Rent (as defined in Section 4.05 of the Overlease). If Landlord, whether at its discretion or on
behalf of Subtenant (pursuant to the prior written request of Subtenant under such rights as incorporated herein from Section 4.08 of the Overlease), disputes the correctness of any such notice or statement and if such dispute is resolved in
Landlord’s favor, or if Landlord shall receive any refund of Direct Expenses or Subtenant Surcharges with or without a dispute, Landlord shall promptly pay to Subtenant any refund (after deducting from the amount of any such refund an equitable
portion of all reasonable expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in resolving such dispute) received by Landlord in respect (but only to the extent) of any related payments of Direct Expenses,
Subtenant Surcharges or other amounts made by Subtenant less any amounts theretofore received by Subtenant directly from the Overlandlord and relating to such refund; provided, however, that, if Landlord is required under the terms of
the Overlease to pay such amounts pending the determination of any such dispute (by agreement or otherwise), Subtenant shall pay the full amount of the Fixed Rent, Direct Expenses and Subtenant Surcharges in accordance with this Sublease and the
applicable Overlandlord’s statement or notice. Landlord shall also promptly remit to Subtenant, Subtenant’s Proportionate Share of any refunds, if any, paid by Overlandlord to Landlord pursuant to Section 4.07(b) of the Overlease to
the extent that such refund is not otherwise exclusively attributable to rentable space (other than the Subleased Premises) in the Building. The provisions of this Section 4(e) shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this
Sublease. 
 (f) The Fixed Rent, Direct Expenses, Subtenant Surcharges and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Sublease shall be paid
by Subtenant to Landlord at the address set forth for notices below, or at such other place as Landlord may hereafter designate from time to time in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America, by a good unendorsed check, subject
to collection, as and when the same become due and payable, without demand therefor and without any deduction, set-off or abatement whatsoever. Any other amounts of additional rents and other charges herein reserved and payable shall be paid by
Subtenant in the manner and 

  

 5 

 
to the persons set forth in the statement from Landlord describing the amounts due as applicable. All Subtenant Surcharges and all other costs, charges and
expenses which Subtenant assumes, agrees or is obligated to pay to Landlord pursuant to this Sublease shall be additional rent and in the event of nonpayment thereof Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies with respect thereto as are herein
provided for in case of nonpayment of the Fixed Rent reserved hereunder. 
 (g) Subtenant shall, within two (2) business days after the
satisfaction of the Conditions Precedent, pay to Landlord the sum of $21,821.28 to be applied to the first full monthly installment of Fixed Rent due hereunder. 
 5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. 
 (a) Within five (5) business days after the satisfaction of the
Conditions Precedent, Subtenant shall deliver to Landlord a security deposit (the “Security Deposit”) in the amount of Seventy Thousand Six Hundred Seventeen and 45/100 Dollars ($70,617.45) in cash or in the form of an unconditional,
irrevocable standby letter of credit without documents, i.e., no obligation on Landlord’s part to present anything but a sight draft, with Landlord as beneficiary, drawable in whole or in part, providing for payment in Santa Clara County,
California or San Francisco, California, on presentation of Landlord’s drafts on sight, providing for multiple draws and multiple successors and otherwise both from a bank and in a form acceptable to Landlord. The Security Deposit shall be held
by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Subtenant of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Sublease applicable to Subtenant. If Subtenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Sublease, including but not limited
to the provisions relating to the condition of the Subleased Premises upon the Expiration Date, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any amount which Landlord may
spend by reason of Subtenant’s default or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Subtenant’s default and Landlord may draw on all or any part of letter of credit Security Deposit and thereafter
retain any unapplied portion as a cash Security Deposit. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Subtenant shall, within ten days after written demand therefor, deposit cash or a replacement letter of credit (in form and
substance subject to the same requirements as the original letter of credit) with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Subtenant’s failure to do so shall be a material default and breach of
this Sublease by Subtenant. The rights of Landlord pursuant to this Section are in addition to any rights which Landlord may have pursuant to Section 11 below. If Subtenant fully and faithfully performs every provision of this Sublease to be
performed by it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned (without interest) to Subtenant within thirty (30) days after Sublease termination and after Subtenant has vacated the Subleased Premises. Failure of Subtenant to
deliver a replacement letter of credit to Landlord at least forty-five (45) business days prior to the expiration date of any current letter of credit shall constitute a separate default entitling Landlord to draw down immediately and entirely
on the current letter of credit and the proceeds shall constitute a cash Security Deposit. 
 (b) If, as of September 1, 2009, Subtenant
is not then currently in default under this Sublease, then the amount of the Security Deposit shall be reduced to Forty-Seven Thousand Seventy-Eight and 30/100 Dollars ($47,078.30), and (i) if the Security Deposit is then in the 

  

 6 

 
form of a letter of credit, then on or after such date Subtenant may tender to Landlord a replacement letter of credit (in form and substance subject to the
same requirements as the original letter of credit) in such reduced amount (in which case Landlord shall promptly upon such receipt return the existing letter of credit) or a certificate of amendment to the existing letter of credit amending the
amount of the original letter of credit to such reduced amount, or (ii) if the Security Deposit is then in the form of cash, Landlord shall apply the amount by which the Security Deposit is reduced (i.e., $23,539.15) against the Fixed rent next
due and owing from Tenant hereunder. 
 (c) If the Security Deposit has been reduced as provided in subsection (b) above, and if, as of
March 1, 2011, Subtenant is not then currently in default under this Sublease, then the amount of the Security Deposit shall be further reduced to Twenty-Three Thousand Five Hundred Thirty-Nine and 15/100 Dollars ($23,539.15), and (i) if
the Security Deposit is then in the form of a letter of credit, then on or after such date Subtenant may tender to Landlord a replacement letter of credit (in form and substance subject to the same requirements as the original letter of credit) in
such further reduced amount (in which case Landlord shall promptly upon such receipt return the existing letter of credit) or a certificate of amendment to the existing letter of credit amending the amount of the then-current letter of credit to
such further reduced amount, or (ii) if the Security Deposit is then in the form of cash, Landlord shall apply the amount by which the Security Deposit is reduced (i.e., $23,539.15) against the Fixed rent next due and owing from Tenant
hereunder. 
 6. CONDITION OF SUBLEASED PREMISES. Landlord represents and warrants that the Subleased Premises shall be delivered on
the Early Access Date to the Subtenant in the Delivery Condition (defined below), broom clean and free of all tenancies. Landlord shall deliver the Subleased Premises on the Early Access Date, together with all building systems and subsystems
(including but not limited to the HVAC, gas, electrical, plumbing, sewer, lighting, sprinkler, fire safety, security, lighting, and ceiling), the roof, windows, doors, exterior walls, elevator, structural elements and foundation of the Building and
the Building Common Area, in good condition, working order and repair and in compliance with all applicable laws (the “Delivery Condition”). Subtenant acknowledges that it enters into this Sublease without any representation or warranties
by Landlord or anyone acting or purporting to act on behalf of Landlord, as to present or future condition of the Subleased Premises or the appurtenances thereto or any improvements therein or of the Building, except as otherwise expressly set forth
herein. Subject to the foregoing, it is further agreed that Subtenant does and will accept the Subleased Premises “as is” in its present condition and Landlord has no obligation to perform any work therein or contribute to the cost of any
work. 
 7. FAILURE OF OVERLANDLORD TO PERFORM OBLIGATIONS. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation
to provide any services to the Subleased Premises or to perform the terms, covenants, conditions or obligations contained in the Overlease on the part of Overlandlord to be performed, except as otherwise set forth in this Sublease. Subtenant agrees
to look solely to Overlandlord for the furnishing of such services and the performance of such terms, covenants, conditions or obligations. In the event that Overlandlord shall fail to furnish such services or to perform any of the terms, covenants,
conditions or obligations contained in the Overlease on its part to be performed, Landlord shall be under no obligation or liability whatsoever to Subtenant for such failure (except to the extent 

  

 7 

 
such failure was caused by Landlord’s gross negligence), but Landlord shall, upon the request of Subtenant, use commercially reasonable efforts to
compel Overlandlord’s performance and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Subtenant to enforce Overlandlord’s obligations. In any event, Subtenant shall not be allowed any abatement or diminution of rent under this Sublease because of
Overlandlord’s failure to perform any of its obligations under the Overlease unless abatement is available under the Overlease. 
 8.
CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease or in the Overlease, Subtenant shall not have the right to terminate this Sublease as to all or any part of the Subleased Premises, or be entitled
to an abatement of Fixed Rent, Direct Expenses or any other item of rental, by reason of a casualty or condemnation affecting the Subleased Premises unless Landlord is entitled to terminate the Overlease or is entitled to a corresponding abatement
with respect to its corresponding obligation under the Overlease. If Landlord is entitled to terminate the Overlease for all or any portion of the Subleased Premises by reason of casualty or condemnation, Subtenant may terminate this Sublease as to
any corresponding part of the Subleased Premises by written notice to Landlord given at least five (5) business days prior to the date(s) Landlord is required to give notice to Overlandlord of such termination under the terms of the Overlease
(provided Subtenant has received reasonable advance notice of such date(s)). 
 9. CONSENTS. In all provisions of the Overlease
requiring the approval or consent of the “Lessor,” Subtenant shall be required to obtain the approval or consent of both Overlandlord and Landlord (which consent of Landlord shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned so
long as the consent of Overlandlord has been obtained). In no event shall Landlord be liable for failure to give its consent or approval in any situation where consent or approval has been withheld or refused by Overlandlord, whether or not such
withholding or refusal was proper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Subtenant shall cooperate in good faith to obtain any such consent of Overlandlord. 
 10. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT; CONSENT OF OVERLANDLORD TO THIS SUBLEASE. Landlord and Subtenant agree that this Sublease is subject to the following conditions precedent (the “Conditions Precedent”):
(i) the execution and delivery of this Sublease by Landlord and Subtenant and (ii) Landlord obtaining the written consent (the “Consent”) of Overlandlord as provided in the Overlease and otherwise in a form reasonably acceptable
to Landlord and Subtenant. It is expressly understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Term shall not commence, nor shall Subtenant take possession of the Subleased Premises or any part thereof, until
the Consent has been obtained. Each of Landlord and Subtenant hereby agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate in good faith with the other and shall comply with any reasonable requests made of it by the other party or Overlandlord in the
procurement of the Consent. In no event shall Landlord or Subtenant be obligated to make any payment to Overlandlord in order to obtain the Consent or the consent to any provision hereof, except as expressly provided in Article XI of the Overlease.

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease, if the Consent is not obtained within (i) ten (10) business days after submission
thereof to Overlandlord by Landlord, then the Commencement Date shall be delayed, day-for-day, for each day of delay in receiving the Consent beyond such 10-business day period, and (ii) sixty (60) days after submission thereof to
Overlandlord by Landlord, then each of Landlord and Subtenant shall have the right to terminate this Sublease effective upon written notice to the other.

performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease or of the Overlease, Landlord shall be entitled to exercise any and all of the rights and remedies to which it is entitled by law, including, without limitation, the remedy
of summary proceeding, and also any and all of the rights and remedies specifically provided for in the Overlease, which are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, with the same force and effect as if herein specifically set forth in full, and
that wherever in the Overlease rights and remedies are given to Overlandlord therein named, the same shall be deemed to refer to Landlord herein.

those spaces at all times against the actions of other tenants of the Building, the Project and guests, visitors, invitees and users of the Building and the 

  

 10 

 
Project amenities; provided, however, if after the Commencement Date Subtenant demonstrates to Landlord’s satisfaction there is significant interference

lobby area of the first floor of the Building. Without the prior written consent of Subtenant, in Subtenant’s sole and absolute discretion, Landlord shall not grant exclusive right to any signage in the main lobby of the Building to any tenant
of the Building. 
 18. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF LANDLORD. Landlord represents and warrants that as of the date of this
Sublease (a) the copy of the Overlease attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true and complete copy of the Overlease and except as set forth therein or herein, there are no additional amendments, modifications or other agreements
between Landlord and the Overlandlord with respect to the Subleased Premises, (b) the Overlease is in full force and effect, (c) Landlord has not received written notice from Overlandlord that Landlord is in default of the Lease, except
for any default which has heretofore been cured, (d) to the best of Landlord’s knowledge there are no defaults on the part of either the Overlandlord or Landlord under the Overlease and no event has occurred which, with the giving of
notice and the passage of time, would constitute a default under the Overlease, (e) Landlord is in full and complete possession of the Subleased Premises and has not assigned or sublet any portion of the Subleased Premises, (f) Landlord
has not previously sold, transferred, assigned or encumbered the Landlord’s interest in the Subleased Premises, and (g) to the best of Landlord’s knowledge neither Landlord nor Landlord’s employees, agents or contractors have
released any Hazardous Materials on the Subleased Premises in violation of law. In no event shall Subtenant be responsible for any remediation of Hazardous Materials identified in Exhibit “I” of the Overlease which were at the Building
prior to the commencement date of the Overlease or were released by Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors at the Building, except to the extent that the same are exacerbated by the negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant or its
employees, agents, contractors, invitees or licensees. 
 19. LANDLORD’S BASIC SERVICES TO SUBTENANT. Landlord shall, during
Subtenant’s occupancy of the Subleased Premises, furnish: 
 (a) hot and cold water at the existing points of supply provided for
kitchen, coffee bar, drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes; 
 (b) during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through
Friday and from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays (“Building Hours”), central heat and air conditioning at such temperatures and in such amounts as are reasonably considered to be standard for similarly 

  

 11 

 
situated buildings in the San Francisco Bay area or as may be permitted or controlled by law and rules and regulations. If Subtenant desires HVAC service
during non-Building Hours, Subtenant shall provide not less than 4 hours advance notice to Landlord’s designated HVAC contact. For any such non-Building Hours HVAC service, Subtenant shall pay for such service on an hourly basis at the rate
then established by Landlord, as the same may be reasonably adjusted by Landlord from time to time during the Term. The initial rate for such non-Building Hours HVAC service is $150.00 per hour; 
 (c) routine maintenance, repairs, and exterior maintenance (including both the exterior side and the interior side of the curtain wall’s glass and
glazing, and window washing), painting and electric lighting service for all public areas of the Building in the manner and to the extent deemed by Landlord to be standard for a first-class office building; 
 (d) janitorial service on a five (5) day week basis, excluding holidays. Landlord shall not be required to provide janitorial services to above
standard improvements installed in the Subleased Premises by Subtenant. Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, Subtenant may elect to provide its own janitorial service to the Subleased Premises (provided, however, the service
provider selected by Subtenant shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord), and during any period in which Subtenant provides its own janitorial service to the Subleased Premises as herein allowed, Landlord’s Building Expenses
allocated to Subtenant shall be adjusted to exclude janitorial costs allocable to the Subleased Premises (but not for any janitorial costs allocable to any Building Common Areas; 
 (e) an electrical system to convey power delivered by public utility providers selected by Landlord in amounts sufficient for normal office operations
during normal office hours; and 
 (f) public elevator service serving the floors on which the Subleased Premises are situated, 8:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, except for national holidays; provided, however, that during non-Building Hours, public elevators shall be available to Subtenant and its employees and invitees as follows: elevators operate via card readers in the
elevators which can be programmed by floor, date and time to require card keys for access twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.) 
 Because utility consumption within the Subleased Premises is monitored by master meters for the Building, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation), to conduct a survey of electrical use by all of the tenants in the Building.
If, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, Subtenant’s use of electricity and/or air conditioning is in excess of normal office use or outside of normal office hours, Subtenant shall pay to Landlord, as a Subtenant Surcharge within fifteen
(15) days after billing (accompanied by supporting documentation), Landlord’s reasonable estimation of the additional costs of such usage (without profit or overhead to Landlord). Subtenant agrees to reply to Landlord’s request for a
survey of electrical and air conditioning uses in the Subleased Premises. 
 20. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR BY LANDLORD. Except as
provided in Section 21 below, Landlord shall comply in all respects with its maintenance and repair obligations under Section 6.01 of the Overlease and, subject to the provisions of Section 7 above, use reasonable efforts to cause
Overlandlord to perform its maintenance and repair obligations under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 of the Overlease. 
  

 12 

 Should Landlord default (as provided in Section 12.03 of the Overlease, as the same is incorporated
in this Sublease as hereinbefore provided) with respect to its obligation to make any of the repairs assumed by it hereunder with respect to the Building, Subtenant shall have the right to perform such repairs and Landlord agrees that within thirty
(30) days after written demand accompanied by detailed invoice(s), it shall pay to Subtenant the cost of any such repairs together with accrued interest from the date of Subtenant’s payment at the Agreed Rate (as defined in the Overlease).
Landlord shall not be liable to Subtenant, its employees, invitees, or licensees for any damage to person or property, and Subtenant’s sole right and remedy shall be the performance of said repairs by Subtenant with right of reimbursement from
Landlord of the reasonable fair market cost of said repairs, not exceeding the sum actually expended by Subtenant, together with accrued interest from the date of Subtenant’s payment at the Agreed Rate, provided that nothing herein shall be
deemed to create a right of setoff or withholding by Subtenant of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent or any other amounts due herein. Subtenant hereby expressly waives all rights under and benefits of Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code
or under any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect to make repairs and offset the cost of same against rent or to withhold or delay any payment of rent or any other of its obligations hereunder as a result of any default by
Landlord under this Section 20. 
 21. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR BY SUBTENANT. Subtenant shall maintain and repair the interior of
the Subleased Premises and keep the same in good condition, except for (i) ordinary wear and tear, (ii) damage to the Subleased Premises by fire, earthquake, act of God or the elements, (iii) damage caused by Landlord or Overlandlord,
(iv) latent defects of improvements in the Subleased Premises constructed by Landlord or Overlandlord, (v) structural portions of the Premises, (vi) the items to be provided or maintained by Landlord under this Sublease, and
(vii) the items to be provided or maintained by Overlandlord under the Overlease. Subtenant’s obligation shall include, without limitation, the obligation to maintain and repair all interior walls, floors, ceilings and fixtures within the
Subleased Premises, and to repair all damage caused by Subtenant, its agents, employees, invitees and licensees to the utility outlets and other improvements within the Subleased Premises. Subtenant shall repair all damage caused by removal of
Subtenant’s movable equipment or furniture or the removal of any Alterations permitted or required by Landlord, all as provided in this Sublease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease or the Overlease, as incorporated
herein, in no event shall Subtenant have any obligation to remove any Alterations existing in, on or about the Building or Premises that were not constructed by Subtenant or that were existing as of the Early Access Date. 
 22. LANDLORD’S COVENANTS. Landlord shall (i) perform and observe all of the terms and conditions of the Overlease as “Lessee”
thereunder, except as otherwise set forth in this Sublease; (ii) not modify, amend or waive any provisions thereof, or make any election, exercise any option, right or remedy, or grant any consent or approval thereunder, or terminate the
Overlease without, in each instance, Subtenant’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, denied or conditioned and which consent shall be deemed granted if Subtenant fails to respond, within five
(5) business days following receipt or refusal to accept 

  

 13 

 
receipt, to Landlord’s written notice requesting Subtenant’s consent (which notice shall be given only by certified mail, postage pre-paid, return
receipt requested); provided, however, that if any such modification, amendment or waiver would increase Subtenant’s monetary obligations under this Sublease, or otherwise materially increase Subtenant’s obligations, or materially decrease
Subtenant’s rights under this Sublease (including, without limitation, by termination of the Overlease), then Subtenant shall have the right to withhold its consent in Subtenant’s sole and absolute discretion, and further provided in such
instance that that Subtenant’s consent shall be deemed withheld if Subtenant fails to respond, within five (5) business days following receipt or refusal to accept receipt, to Landlord’s written notice requesting Subtenant’s
consent (which notice shall be given only by certified mail, postage pre-paid, return receipt requested). 
 22. ALTERATIONS.

 (a) To the extent not reasonably anticipated by Landlord to be allocated to Alterations to be performed by or on behalf of Landlord (as
opposed to Alterations to be performed by or on behalf of other subtenants in the Building), Subtenant shall be entitled to not less than Subtenant’s Proportionate Share of the $100,000, non-Overlandlord consent alteration amount (as set forth
in Section 6.03 of the Overlease) during each year of the Term. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Sublease to the contrary,
if Overlandlord agrees in writing that any Alterations installed by Subtenant may remain in the Subleased Premises upon the expiration of the Sublease, Landlord shall have no right to require Subtenant to remove those Alterations upon the expiration
or earlier termination of the Sublease unless such expiration or earlier termination in connection with a default by or on behalf of Subtenant.

 Exhibit 10.4 
 CONSENT TO SUBLEASE 
 This CONSENT
TO SUBLEASE (this “Consent”) is made and entered into as of December 14, 2007, by and among VII PAC SHORES INVESTORS, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), and SERENA SOFTWARE, INC.,
a Delaware corporation (“Subtenant”). 
 RECITALS: 
 A. Landlord, as successor-in-interest to Pacific Shores Development, LLC and Tenant entered into that certain Triple Net Building
Lease dated May 5, 2000 (the “Master Lease”), for approximately 141,180 rentable square feet (the “Premises”) located in Building 3 (the “Building”) with an address of 1900 Seaport
Boulevard, Redwood City, California 94063. All capitalized terms used in this Consent and not defined herein have the same meaning as in the Master Lease. 
 B. Tenant desires to sublease a portion of the Premises located on the second floor of the Building, containing approximately 35,260 rentable square feet (the “Subleased Premises”), to Subtenant
pursuant to a Sublease dated December 5, 2007 (the “Sublease”), a signed copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto. Such Sublease shall be under and subject to the terms of the Master Lease as such terms apply
to the Subleased Premises. Landlord is willing to consent to the Sublease, subject to the terms and conditions of this Consent. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord, Tenant and Subtenant agree as follows: 
 1. Consent to Sublease. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Consent, Landlord hereby consents to the Sublease for the Subleased Premises. Nothing in this Consent or in the Sublease shall be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any right that it may have to
terminate or amend the Master Lease pursuant to the terms thereof or as otherwise may be agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant. The foregoing consent shall not operate as approval or ratification by Landlord of any of the expressed or implied
provisions of the Sublease and Landlord shall not be bound by or estopped in any way by the provisions of the Sublease. Except as expressly set forth in this Consent, this Consent shall not be construed or implied to be a consent to any other matter
for which Landlord’s consent is required under the Master Lease, including, without limitation, any Alterations or any signage. 
 (b) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for its reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with the proposed Sublease and this Consent is expressly conditioned on such payment
timely being made. 
 (c) This Consent shall in no way release Tenant or any person or entity claiming by, through or under
Tenant from any of its covenants, agreements, liabilities and duties under the Lease (including, without limitation, all indemnification and insurance obligations), as the same may be amended from time to time, without respect to any provision to
the contrary in the Sublease. 
  

 1 

 (d) Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any default under the Master Lease, whether
such default is caused by Tenant or Subtenant or anyone claiming by or through either Tenant or Subtenant, but the foregoing shall not be deemed to restrict or diminish any right which Landlord may have against Subtenant pursuant to the Master
Lease, in law or in equity for violation of the Master Lease or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to enjoin or otherwise restrain any violation of the Master Lease by Subtenant. 
 2. Sublease Subordinate. The Sublease is and shall be at all times subject (as such terms apply to the Subleased Premises) and subordinate to the
Master Lease. Nothing in this Consent shall be construed to amend or waive any of the provisions, covenants or conditions in the Master Lease. In the case of any conflict between any provision of the Master Lease and any provision of the Sublease,
the Master Lease shall govern as between Landlord and Tenant. 
 3. Consent to Govern. In the ease of any conflict between the
provisions of this Consent and the provisions of the Sublease or the Master Lease, the provisions of this Consent shall prevail as between Landlord and Tenant or as between Landlord and Subtenant. 
 4. Further Transfers. Any further or additional sublease, assignment, termination or other transfer of any interest in the Sublease or the
Subleased Premises shall require the prior written consent of Landlord pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease. 
 5.
Landlord Not Party to Sublease. Landlord shall not by reason of this Consent (a) be bound by or become a party to the Sublease, (b) be deemed to have accepted the attornment of Subtenant, or (c) be deemed liable to Subtenant
(x) for any failure of Tenant to perform or observe Tenant’s obligations under the Sublease or (y) in connection with the Subleased Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Sublease, Landlord shall have no
obligation (i) to Tenant in connection with the Subleased Premises (except for Landlord’s obligations per the Master Lease) or the Sublease, or (ii) to Subtenant in connection with the Subleased Premises, the Sublease or the Master
Lease (except as expressly provided in subparagraph 8(b) below, with respect to Waiver of Subrogation). Subtenant shall have no right, and there shall not be vested in Subtenant any right, to exercise rights of first refusal, options, or other
similar preferential rights, if any, given to Tenant as the Lessee under the Master Lease. Nothing in the Sublease, this Consent or otherwise shall be deemed to be an express or implied agreement on the part of Landlord to recognize or allow the
Sublease to continue beyond any termination of the Master Lease. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Sublease shall terminate (to the extent it has not already done so) upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Master Lease for
any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that any such earlier termination of the Master Lease shall not relieve Tenant from liability to Subtenant for any breach by Tenant of its obligations under the Sublease, as expressly provided in the
Sublease. 
 6. Indemnity. Except to the extent any Claim results solely from the active negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord
or its employees, representatives, directors, officers, agents, contractors or invitees, or is otherwise covered by the insurance Landlord is 

  

 2 

 
required to carry under the Master Lease, Subtenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord and the employees,
representatives, directors, officers, agents and lenders of Landlord, against and from any and all losses, claims, liabilities, judgments, costs, demands, causes of action, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees
and consultants’ fees) (collectively, “Claims”), arising from or related to: (i) any violation of law by Subtenant or its employees, representatives, directors, officers, sublessees, assignees, agents, invitees or
independent contractors (collectively, “Subtenant Agents”) applicable to the Subleased Premises or Subtenant’s use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises; (ii) any act or omission by Subtenant or Subtenant Agents resulting
in the release of Hazardous Materials (as defined in the Master Lease) in, on or about all or any part of the Subleased Premises or the Project; (iii) death or injury to any person or damage to or destruction of any property occurring during
the term of the Sublease that is caused (A) while that person or property is in or about the Subleased Premises, (B) by some condition of the Subleased Premises, or (C) by any act or omission of Subtenant or Subtenant Agents in,
adjacent, on or about the Subleased Premises with the permission, consent or sufferance of Subtenant; or (iv) any matter connected to or arising out of Subtenant’s use or occupation of the Subleased Premises, or any failure in the timely
observance or performance of any obligation on Subtenant’s part to be observed or performed under the Sublease (including, without limitation, obligations of Tenant under the Master Lease which Subtenant has agreed to observe or perform under
the Sublease). If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of any such Claim, upon notice from Landlord, Subtenant shall defend the same with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord and at Subtenant’s sole expense.
The obligations of Subtenant under this paragraph 6 shall survive any termination of the Sublease or the Master Lease. In no event shall Subtenant be responsible for remediation of any Hazardous Materials identified in Exhibit I to
the Master Lease which were at the Premises prior to the commencement date of the Master Lease. 
 7. Assignment of Rent and Default.

 (a) Assignment of Rent. Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers to Landlord all of Tenant’s interest in
the Rent (as that term is defined in the Sublease) payable by Subtenant under the Sublease, subject however, to the terms of paragraph 7(b) below and subject to the rights of Landlord’s lenders pursuant to any subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement now or hereafter existing between Landlord and such lender(s). 
 (b) License to
Collect Sublease Rents. Landlord, by executing this Consent, agrees that during any period of time (i) when there is no default by Tenant under the Master Lease (beyond notice and the expiration of the applicable cure period in the Master
Lease) or (ii) when Tenant has failed to timely perform or observe an obligation under the Master Lease and Landlord is legally prevented from issuing a notice of default, Tenant may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under the
Sublease. However, if Tenant shall (i) default under the Master Lease (after notice and the expiration of the applicable cure period in the Master Lease), or (ii) fail to timely perform or observe an obligation under the Master Lease and
Landlord is legally prevented from issuing a notice of default, then Landlord may, at its option and in addition to all other rights and remedies available under the Master Lease, at law or in equity, receive and collect, directly from Subtenant,
all Rent owing or thereafter becoming due under the Sublease during the period of time in which there exists such uncured failure by Tenant. 
  

 3 

 (c) Authorization to Direct Sublease Payments. Tenant hereby irrevocably
authorizes and directs Subtenant to pay to Landlord Rent which is due and unpaid as of any date on or after the delivery by Landlord of a written notice (“Payment Notice”) demanding payment of Rent and stating that either (i) a
default exists (after notice and the expiration of the applicable cure period in the Master Lease) in the performance or observance of Tenant’s obligations under the Master Lease, or (ii) Tenant has failed to timely perform or observe an
obligation under the Master Lease and Landlord is legally prevented from issuing a notice of default. Tenant agrees that Subtenant shall have the right to rely upon any such Payment Notice from Landlord, and that Subtenant shall pay Rent to Landlord
without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice or claim from Tenant to the contrary. Tenant shall have no right or claim against Subtenant for any such Rent so paid by Subtenant to
Landlord. 
 (d) Additional Provisions. Subtenant shall provide to Tenant concurrently with any payment to Landlord
reasonable evidence of such payment. Any sums paid directly by Subtenant to Landlord in accordance with this paragraph 7 shall be credited toward amounts payable by Subtenant to Tenant under the Sublease and Landlord shall credit such amounts
towards the rent or damages due from Tenant under the Master Lease. 
 (e) No Liability to Subtenant. Landlord shall
not, by reason of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 7 or by exercising its rights to direct and accept payments from Subtenant (i) be bound by or become a party to the Sublease, (ii) be deemed to have accepted the attornment
of Subtenant, or (iii) be deemed liable to Subtenant for any failure of Tenant to perform and comply with Tenant’s obligations under the Sublease. 
 (f) Landlord’s Attornment Option. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of Tenant’s default under
the Master Lease, Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion may at any time elect to have Subtenant either attorn to Landlord or vacate the Subleased Premises, by giving written notice to Subtenant. If Landlord elects to have Subtenant attorn to
Landlord, such notice shall state that Landlord is assuming Tenant’s position under the Sublease and that Subtenant shall attorn to Landlord and be bound to Landlord under all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Sublease for the balance
of the Sublease term and any extensions or renewals thereof which may then or later be in effect, all with the same force and effect as if Landlord had been the original Sublandlord for the Subleased Premises under the Sublease. Any attornment shall
be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments. In the event Landlord elects to cause Subtenant to attorn as set forth herein, in no event shall Landlord be (i) liable for any act or omission by Tenant,
(ii) subject to any offsets or defenses which Subtenant had or might have against Tenant, (iii) obligated to recognize and credit Subtenant with any security deposit or other payment unless the same has been remitted by Tenant to Landlord
and identified by Tenant (in writing) as being such security deposit or other payment, (iv) obligated to perform or pay for any build-out of the Subleased Premises, or (v) bound by any amendment to the Sublease not consented to by
Landlord, in writing. 
  

 4 

 8. Insurance; Waiver of Subrogation. 
 (a) Subtenant shall name Landlord and Tenant and their respective lenders identified to Subtenant as “additional insured” on all
liability policies carried by Subtenant with respect to the Subleased Premises. 
 (b) Landlord, Tenant and Subtenant (each, a
“Waiving Party”) hereby release and relieve the others (each, a “Released Party”), and each Waiving Party hereby waives its entire right of recovery against each Released Party, for loss or damage to property
arising out of or incident to perils which are required to be insured against by the Waiving Party pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease and/or Sublease, which perils occur on or about the Subleased Premises, whether due to the negligence of any
of them, or their respective agents, employees contractors and/or invitees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to affect the obligation of Tenant to reimburse Landlord for the amount of any deductible portion of
Landlord’s insurance policy pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease. Each Waiving Party shall give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Consent and shall obtain from
their respective insurance carriers a waiver of the rights of subrogation. 
 9. Brokerage Commissions. Tenant shall indemnify and
hold harmless Landlord for any claim or liability arising out of any assertion by any real estate finder, agent or broker that a commission or fee is due and payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Sublease. 
 10. Representations Regarding Consideration. Tenant and Subtenant each represents and warrants that the Sublease sets forth the true accurate and
full amount of all consideration to be received, directly or indirectly, by Tenant and furnished, directly or indirectly, by Subtenant in connection with the Sublease and this Consent is conditioned on the truth of said representation and warranty.

 11. Notice From Tenant. Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord within five (5) business days after the occurrence of
any termination of the Sublease. 
 12. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any legal action or proceeding, including, without
limitation, arbitration and declaratory relief, is commenced for the purpose of enforcing or seeking a declaration of any rights or remedies pursuant to this Consent, the prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover from the
non-prevailing party or parties reasonable attorneys’ fees, as well as costs of suit, in such action or proceeding. 
 13.
Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 (a) Tenant and Subtenant each agrees not to amend, modify, supplement, or otherwise change
in any material respect the Sublease without the prior written consent of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld from Tenant. Landlord shall not be bound by any amendment, modification, supplement, or change to the Sublease that is not
made in accordance with this subparagraph. 
  

 5 

 (b) This Consent contains the final expression and entire agreement as well as a complete
and exclusive statement of that agreement among the parties hereto regarding the matters which are the subject of this Consent and shall not be contradicted by any prior agreement or contemporaneous oral agreement. The terms, covenants and
conditions of this Consent shall apply to and bind the permitted heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators of all the parties hereto. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that no rule of construction, to the effect that any
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party, shall be employed in the interpretation of this Consent. If any provision of this Consent is determined to be illegal or unenforceable such determination shall not affect any other
provisions of this Consent and all such other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (c) Each party hereto
certifies to each of the other parties that it is not a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §§101 et seq.) and that there is no pending involuntary petition pending against it under the Bankruptcy Code. 

(d) By signing this Consent each person signing this Consent on behalf of an entity party certifies that he or she is authorized to
execute this Consent and to bind his or her respective party to the terms of this Consent, and that all corporate or other entity action necessary to authorize the execution of this Consent by each respective party has been taken and is presently in
force and effect. 
 (e) This Consent may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, and when taken together they shall constitute one and the same Consent. 
 (f) Nothing in this Consent shall be
deemed a consent by Landlord to any change of any nature in the size or location of the Subleased Premises (whether increase, decrease, different Building(s) or floors or otherwise) notwithstanding anything in the Sublease. Any such change shall
require the prior written consent of Landlord, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 14. Notices. All notices
required, authorized or permitted by this Consent to Sublease or applicable law shall be in writing and (i) may be delivered in person (by hand or courier), (ii) may be served by any of the methods authorized by California Code of Civil
Procedure, Section 1162, or (iii) may be sent by regular, certified or registered mail or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail or other nationally-recognized overnight courier, with postage prepaid and shall be deemed given on the date
delivered or, if delivery is attempted but fails, on the first date delivery was attempted but refused or prevented by absence of a party, locked door or other physical barrier. Any party hereto may by written notice to the other specify a different
address for notice.
