        2.     Term.

        (a)   Initial Term.    The term of this Sublease ("Term") shall commence on the date (the "Commencement Date") that
is the later to occur of (x) October     2006 and (y) the date that Sublandlord delivers possession of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant and (z) the date upon
which Sublandlord procures and delivers to Subtenant Landlord's consent to this Sublease (the "Consent"), and end on the date immediately preceding the expiration of the fifty-second (52nd) full

Date" of this Sublease. Upon the determination of the Commencement Date, Sublandlord and Subtenant will enter into a letter agreement in the form of  Exhibit B attached hereto. 

1

 

        (b)   Early Access.    Subtenant and Subtenant's representatives shall have the right to enter the Subleased Premises
from and after the Effective Date (the date upon which Subtenant first has such access to the Subleased Premises being referred to herein as the "Early Access Date") for the sole purposes of
installation of Subtenant's initial Subtenant Improvements (defined in Section 16.2 below), all subject to the terms, conditions and requirements of the Master Lease. All of the rights and
obligations of the parties under this Sublease (other than Subtenant's obligation to pay Base Rent and Subtenant's Percentage Share of Operating Costs, but expressly including without limitation,
Subtenant's obligation
to carry insurance pursuant to the Master Lease, and Subtenant's indemnification obligations, and/or liability for damages, reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Sublandlord by reason of any
default by Subtenant or failure on Subtenant's part to comply with the terms of this Sublease) shall commence upon the Early Access Date, and Subtenant shall be deemed to occupy the Subleased Premises
from and after the Early Access Date. Subtenant shall be liable for any damages to the Subleased Premises caused by Subtenant's activities at the Subleased Premises from and after the Early Access
Date and, prior to entering the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall obtain all insurance it is required to obtain hereunder, and shall provide certificates of such insurance to Sublandlord. Subtenant
shall coordinate such entry with Sublandlord, and such entry shall be made in compliance with all terms and conditions of this Sublease, the Master Lease and the rules and regulations attached to the
Master Lease. 

        3.     Option to Extend.

        (a)   Grant of Option.    Sublandlord grants Subtenant one (1) option (the "Option to Extend") to extend the
Term for one (I) additional period expiring as of December 31, 2014 (the "Option Term"), upon the same terms and conditions contained in this Sublease, except that (i) the Base
Rent for the Subleased Premises shall be ninety-five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Rent (defined below) for the Subleased Premises as of the date of the commencement of the Option Term,
determined in the manner set forth below, but in no event less than $1.85 per rentable square foot per month, (ii) Subtenant shall accept the Subleased Premises in an "as is" condition without
any obligation of Sublandlord to make or pay for any repainting, remodeling, repair, improvement or alteration of the Subleased Premises, except to the extent that an improvement allowance is granted
as a component of Fair Market Rent, and (iii) there shall be no further options to extend the Term. 

        (b)   Exercise of Option.    Notice of Subtenant's exercise (the "Election Notice") of the Option to Extend must be
given to Sublandlord in writing no later than nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date. If Subtenant properly exercises the Option to Extend, references in this Sublease to the "Term" shall
be deemed to include the Option Term unless the context clearly provides otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Option to Extend shall automatically terminate
without notice and shall be of no further force and effect, whether or not Subtenant has timely exercised the Option to Extend, if: 

        (i)    an
event of monetary default on the part of Subtenant exists under this Sublease (i.e., beyond the giving of applicable notice and the passage of applicable grace
and cure periods) at the time of exercise of the Option to Extend or at the time of commencement of the Option Term; or 

        (ii)   Subtenant
has assigned its interest in this Sublease (other than to an Affiliate or pursuant to a Permitted Transfer referenced in Section 2 1.A(3) of the
Original Master Lease), or has subleased more than fifty percent (50%) of the Subleased Premises (other than to an Affiliate or pursuant to a Permitted Transfer referenced in Section 21.A(3) of
the Original Master Lease).

        (c)   Base Rent During Option Tern.

        (i)    Negotiation.    If Subtenant properly exercises the Option to Extend, the Base Rent payable by Subtenant during
the applicable Option Term shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the greater of (x) ninety-five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Rent for the Subleased Premises as of the
commencement of the Option Term for a term equal to the Option Term or (y) $1.85 per rentable square foot per month. Following Subtenant's exercise of the Option to Extend, Sublandlord will
deliver to Subtenant notice of Sublandlord's determination of the applicable Fair Market Rent for the Subleased Premises for the Option Term ("Sublandlord's Fair Market Notice"). For a period of
thirty (30) days following delivery of Sublandlord's Fair Market Notice, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall work together in good faith to reach agreement upon the Fair Market Rent for the
Subleased Premises for the applicable Option Term. If Sublandlord and Subtenant fail to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within such thirty (30) day period, then, the Fair Market Rent shall be
established in accordance with the procedures set forth below: 

        (ii)   Arbitrator.

        (A)  The
parties shall endeavor to mutually select a qualified commercial real estate broker, licensed in the State of California, with at least five (5) consecutive
years' experience in determining fair market rental rates in the San Mateo, California vicinity. If Sublandlord and Subtenant are unable to so agree upon a single commercial real estate broker within
ten (10) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, then each party shall appoint one (1) commercial real estate broker with similar qualifications by written
notice to the other, to be given within ten (10) days after the end of said first ten (10) day selection period. Within ten (10) days after the two (2) commercial real
estate brokers are appointed, such two commercial real estate brokers shall appoint a third commercial real estate broker with similar qualifications, who will charge a commercially reasonably hourly
rate for its services. The Fair Market Rent shall be the rate determined by the third commercial real estate broker provided, however, if either Sublandlord or Subtenant fails to appoint its broker
within the prescribed time period, the single commercial real estate broker appointed by the other party shall determine the Fair Market Rent amount for the Subleased Premises. 

        (B)  In
connection with the determination of the Fair Market Rent by the commercial real estate broker, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall within thirty (30) days of the
appointment of the single commercial real estate broker or the third commercial real estate broker, as the case may be, deliver to such commercial real estate broker Sublandlord's and Subtenant's
estimate of the Fair Market Rent, with such supporting documentation as Sublandlord and Subtenant shall determine in their sole respective discretion. If either party fails to provide an estimate to
the broker within said time period, then the sole estimate provided shall be deemed the Fair Market Rent. The commercial real estate broker shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such
information from Sublandlord and Subtenant to either pick the Fair Market Rent as determined by Sublandlord or the Fair Market Rent that is determined by Subtenant. The broker shall have no power or
authority hereunder to pick any other amount as Fair Market Rent or to average Sublandlord and Subtenant's estimates. The decision of the single commercial real estate broker or the third commercial
real estate broker, as applicable, shall be binding and conclusive on the parties hereto and shall be enforceable as a judgment by the prevailing party against the losing party. If any commercial real
estate broker shall fail, refuse, or become unable to act, a new commercial real estate broker shall be appointed in his or her place following the same method as was originally followed with respect
to the commercial real estate broker to be replaced. Sublandlord 

3

 

and
Subtenant shall each pay the fees and expenses of the commercial real estate broker it appoints, but if only one commercial real estate broker is used, or if a third commercial real estate broker
is used, the fees and expenses of such sole or third commercial real estate broker, as the case may be, shall be paid by the party whose estimate was not chosen as the Fair Market Rent. All other
expenses shall be borne by the parties. All hearings and proceedings held and all investigations and actions taken by the commercial real estate broker shall take place in the Redwood City/San Mateo
vicinity. 

        (C)  If
the amount of the Fair Market Rent is not known as of the commencement of the Option Term, then Subtenant shall continue to pay the Base Rent in effect immediately
prior to the commencement of the Option Term until the amount of the fair market rent is determined. When such determination is made, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord any deficiency within ten
(10) business days following written notice by Sublandlord. 

        (iii)  "Fair Market Rent" Defined.    As used herein, "Fair Market Rent" shall mean the actual "base rent" being
paid by renewal subtenants for similar premises of comparable size and location in buildings similar in age and quality as the Subleased Premises in the San Mateo/Foster City vicinity (with
appropriate adjustment for tenant improvements, economic concessions, brokerage fees, base years, etc.), taking into account amenities available at the Building in comparison with amenities available
at comparison properties, but in no event less than the Base Rent rate payable by Subtenant during the final twelve (12) months of the initial Term (i.e., $1.85 per rentable square foot
per month). 

        4.     Rent.

        4.1   Rent Payments.

        (a)   From
and after the Commencement Date, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as base rent for the Subleased Premises during the Term ("Base Rent") the following: 

 

 

					
	Months Following

Commencement Date

 
	 	Monthly Base

Rent Per

Rentable

Square Foot 	 	Monthly

Base

Rent 
	1 - 12*	 	$1.50 on 55,000 sq. ft.	 	$82,500.00
	13 - 24	 	$1.54 on 55,000 sq. ft.	 	$84,700.00
	25 - 36	 	$1.64 on 59,236 sq. ft.	 	$97,147.00
	37 - 48	 	$1.75 on 59,236 sq. ft.	 	$103,663.00
	49 - 52	 	$1.85 on 59,236 sq. ft.	 	$109,586.60

 

 

	*
	If
the Commencement Date is a date other than the first (1st) day of a calendar month, then the "first" month following the Commencement Date shall be the
first full month after the month in which the Commencement Date occurs. For example, if the Commencement Date is January 15, 2007, for the purposes of this schedule, the first "month" following
the Commencement Date will be February, 2007, and thus "months 1 - 12" in the above-referenced chart would expire as of January 31, 2008. 

 

         Base
Rent shall be paid on the first day of each month commencing as of the expiration of the Rent Abatement Period (defined in Section 3(b) below), except that Subtenant shall
pay the first month's Base Rent to Sublandlord upon execution of this Sublease and delivery of this Sublease to Sublandlord; said pre-paid Base Rent will be applied towards Base Rent first
payable following the Rent Abatement Period. If the Term does not begin on the first day of a calendar month, the Base Rent and Additional Rent (hereinafter defined) for any partial month shall be
prorated by multiplying 

4

 

the
monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the partial month included in the Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days
in the full calendar month. All Rent (hereinafter defined) shall be payable in lawful money of the United States, by regular bank check of Subtenant, to Sublandlord at the
following address:

1001
Sunset Boulevard

Rocklin, CA 95765

Attn: Lease Administration 

or
to such other persons or at such other places as Sublandlord may designate in writing, or by electronic transfer to the account identified by Sublandlord. 

        (b)   Abatement.

        (i)    Abatement Period.    Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.1(a) above to the contrary, so long as
Subtenant is not in default under this Sublease, Subtenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent and Operating Costs (defined in Section 4.2 below) for the first ten
(10) calendar months of the Term (the "Rent Abatement Period"). The total amount of Rent abated during the Rent Abatement Period is referred to herein as the "Abated Rent". If Subtenant
defaults in any material respect during the Rent Abatement Period and fails to cure such default within any applicable cure period, there will be no further abatement of Rent under this
Section 4.1(c)(i). 

        (ii)   Square Footage Abatement.    In addition to the Base Rent abatement provided for in Section 3(c)(i)
above, during the initial twenty-four (24) calendar months of the Term (the "Square Footage Abatement Period"), Base Rent and Subtenant's Percentage Share will be calculated as if
the Subleased Premises contain 55,000 rentable square feet; the Base Rent schedule set forth in Section 4.1(a) above reflects the calculations described in this Section 4.1(c)(ii). 

        4.2   Operating Costs.

        (a)   Definitions.    For purposes of this Sublease and in addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Sublease,
the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below: 

        (i)    "Additional Rent" shall mean the sums payable pursuant to Section 4.2(b) below. 

        (ii)   "Operating Costs" shall mean Operating Expenses (as defined in the Master Lease) charged by Landlord to Sublandlord
pursuant to the Master Lease. 

        (iii)  "Rent" shall mean, collectively, Base Rent, Additional Rent, and all other sums payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord
under this Sublease, whether or not expressly designated as "rent", all of which are deemed and designated as rent pursuant to the terms of this Sublease. 

        (iv)  "Subtenant's Percentage Share" shall mean (i) during the Square Footage Abatement Period, 43.36% and,
(ii) thereafter, 46.99%. Subtenant's Percentage Share has been obtained by dividing (x) with respect to the Square Footage Abatement Period, 55,000, and (y) with respect to the
period thereafter, the rentable area of the Subleased Premises (i.e., 59,236), respectively, by (z) the rentable area of the Master Lease Premises and multiplying such quotient by 100.
In the event Subtenant's Percentage Share is changed during a calendar year by reason of a change in the rentable area of the Subleased Premises or the Master Lease Premises, Subtenant's Percentage
Share shall thereupon be adjusted to equal the result obtained by dividing the rentable area of the Subleased Premises by the rentable area of the Master Lease Premises and multiplying 

5

 

such
quotient by 100. and Subtenant's Percentage Share shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during such calendar year at each such percentage share. 

        (b)   Payment of Additional Rent.    In addition to the Base Rent payable pursuant to Section 4.1 above, from
and after the expiration of the Rent Abatement Period, for each calendar year of the Term, subject to Section 4.1(b)(ii), Subtenant, as Additional Rent, shall pay Subtenant's Percentage Share
of Operating
Costs payable by Sublandlord for the then current calendar year. Sublandlord shall give Subtenant written notice of Sublandlord's estimate of the amount of Additional Rent per month payable pursuant
to this Section 4.2(b) for each calendar year promptly following the Sublandlord's receipt of Landlord's estimate of the Operating Costs payable under the Master Lease. Thereafter, the
Additional Rent payable pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) shall be determined and adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2(c) below. 

        (c)   Procedure.    The determination and adjustment of Additional Rent payable hereunder shall be made in accordance
with the following procedures: 

        (i)    Delivery of Estimate; Payment.    Upon receipt of a statement from Landlord specifying the estimated Operating
Costs to be charged to Sublandlord under the Master Lease with respect to each calendar year, or as soon after receipt of such statement as practicable, Sublandlord shall give Subtenant written notice
of its estimate of Additional Rent payable under Section 4.2(b) for the ensuing calendar year, which estimate shall be prepared based on the estimate received from Landlord (as Landlord's
estimate may change from time to time), together with a copy of the statement received from Landlord. On or before the first day of each month during each calendar year, Subtenant shall pay to
Sublandlord as Additional Rent one-twelfth (1/12th) of such estimated amount together with the Base Rent. 

        (ii)   Sublandlord's Failure to Deliver Estimate.    In the event Sublandlord's notice set forth in
Subsection 4.2(c)(i) is not given on or before December of the calendar year preceding the calendar year for which Sublandlord's notice is applicable, as the case may be, then until the
calendar month after such notice is delivered by Sublandlord, Subtenant shall continue to pay to Sublandlord monthly, during the ensuing calendar year, estimated payments equal to the amounts payable
hereunder during the calendar year just ended. Upon receipt of any such post-December notice Subtenant shall (i) commence as of the immediately following calendar month, and
continue for the remainder of the calendar year, to pay to Sublandlord monthly such new estimated payments, (ii) if the monthly installment of the new estimate of such Additional Rent is
greater than the monthly installment of the estimate for the previous calendar year, pay to Sublandlord within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice an amount equal to the difference
of such monthly installment multiplied by the number of full and partial calendar months of such year preceding the delivery of such notice and (iii) if the monthly installment of the new
estimate of such Additional Rent is less than the monthly installment of the estimate for the previous calendar year, an amount equal to the difference of such monthly installment multiplied by the
number of full or partial calendar months of such year preceding the delivery of such notice shall be credited against the next payment of Rent coming due by Subtenant under this Sublease. 

        (d)   Year End Reconciliation.    After the receipt by Sublandlord of a final statement of Operating Costs from
Landlord with respect to each calendar year, Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant a statement ("Sublandlord's Statement") of the adjustment to be made pursuant to Section 4.2 for the calendar
year just ended, together with a copy of any corresponding statement received by Sublandlord from Landlord. If, on the basis of such Sublandlord's Statement, Subtenant owes an amount that is less than
the estimated payments actually made by Subtenant for the calendar year just ended. Sublandlord shall credit such excess to the next payment of Rent coining due or, if the term of this Sublease is
about to expire or has expired, promptly refund such 

6

 

excess
to Subtenant. If, on the basis of such Sublandlord's Statement, Subtenant owes an amount that is more than the estimated payments for the calendar year just ended previously made by Subtenant,
Subtenant shall pay the deficiency to Sublandlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement from Sublandlord to Subtenant. 

        (e)   Audit Right.

        (i)    Subtenant
shall have the right, within three hundred sixty-five (365) days following delivery of Sublandlord's Statement, to review Sublandlord's
allocation of Operating Expenses (as defined in the Master Lease) to Subtenant's Percentage Share of Operating Costs payable hereunder. Such review may be performed by an employee of Subtenant and/or
a certified public accountant, provided that any such individual or firm shall not be compensated on a so-called "contingency" basis. Such review shall be performed at Subtenant's sole
cost and expense, provided, however, that if Sublandlord's Statement is determined to have overstated Subtenant's Percentage Share of Operating Costs payable hereunder by two percent (2%) or more,
Sublandlord shall reimburse Subtenant for the reasonable cost of such audit, and, in addition, in the event that any such audit determines that Sublandlord's Statement has overstated Operating Costs
payable hereunder, Sublandlord shall reimburse Subtenant for the amount of any such overpayment actually made by Subtenant. 

        (ii)   Subtenant
may, by written notice to Sublandlord, elect, pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.E of the Original Master Lease, to cause Sublandlord to examine
the books and records of Landlord relevant to a Sublandlord's Statement. In such event, (A) such examination shall be conducted by a party meeting the qualifications for the review of the books
and records of Landlord as described in the Master Lease, which party shall be designated and compensated by Subtenant, but who shall be acting as Sublandlord's representative for the purposes of
examining any such books and records of Landlord, (B) such party shall render a written report of such examination and such party's findings and recommendations with respect thereto, a true
copy of which shall be delivered to Sublandlord within ten (10) days after such report is completed. Such audit shall be commenced and prosecuted with reasonable diligence by Sublandlord on
behalf of Subtenant (provided that Subtenant requests such an audit in a timely fashion so that Sublandlord can timely exercise its rights under Section 7.E of the Original Master Lease) and
any reasonable expense incurred by Sublandlord in connection with such audit (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) shall be reimbursed by Subtenant as additional Rent hereunder within ten
(10) business days following invoice therefor. Any recovery from any such examination of the books and records of Landlord shall be applied first to Subtenant, in the amount of
the costs and expenses of such examination (to the extent such costs and expenses were paid for by, or reimbursed to Sublandlord by, Subtenant) and, second, shall be allocated among Sublandlord and
Subtenant in accordance with the proportionate area of the Master Lease Premises that each occupies. 

        (f)    Survival.    The expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease shall not affect the obligations of
Sublandlord and Subtenant pursuant to Subsections 4.2(d) and (e), and such obligations shall survive, remain to be performed after, any expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease;
subject to the terms of said Subsections. 

7

 

 

        (g)   Adjustment for Subtenants' Consumption of Excess Electricity.    If Sublandlord determines that any of its
subtenants in the Building (including Subtenant) is consuming electricity in their respective subleased premises at a rate materially in excess of the average rate of electrical consumption of
Sublandlord's other subtenants in the Building, as reasonably determined by Sublandlord, Sublandlord will use reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of Section 15.B of the Original Master
Lease (as incorporated into this Sublease and the subleases of such other subtenants) to allow Sublandlord to separately meter the electrical consumption of subtenants consuming excess electricity and
to charge said subtenants on a direct basis for their excess electricity usage with an appropriate adjustment in Additional Rent payable by other subtenants, including Subtenant. 

        5.     Security Deposit.

        (a)   Generally.    On or before the date that is ten (10) business days following procurement of the Consent,
Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord the sum of $495,000.00 (the "Security Deposit"). The Security Deposit shall be held by Sublandlord as security for the faithful performance by Subtenant of all
the provisions of this Sublease to be performed or observed by Subtenant. If Subtenant fails to pay rent or other sums due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provisions of this
Sublease, and such failure or default is not cured within the applicable notice and cure period, Sublandlord may use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Security Deposit for the payment of any
rent or other sum in default, to repair or maintain the Subleased Premises, to perform any other terms, covenants, or conditions contained in this Sublease, or to compensate Sublandlord for any loss
or damage which Sublandlord may suffer thereby. If Sublandlord so uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Subtenant shall within ten (10) days after demand therefor deposit
cash with Sublandlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount thereof and Subtenant's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Sublease. Sublandlord shall
not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. The Security Deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Sublandlord, shall be returned, without
interest, to Subtenant (or, at Sublandlord's option, to the last assignee, if any, of Subtenant's interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days following the later to occur of (x) the
expiration or termination of the Term, and (y) Subtenant's vacation of the Subleased Premises. No trust relationship is created herein between Sublandlord and Subtenant with respect to the
Security Deposit. Sublandlord will not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts. 

        (b)   Letter of Credit.    Subtenant may elect to deliver the Security Deposit in the form of an unconditional,
irrevocable, transferable standby letter of credit (the "Initial Letter of Credit") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D in the amount of
$495,000.00 and issued by Silicon Valley Bank or other financial institution reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord (such financial or banking institution must have a credit rating of "AA" or better
from both Moody's and Standard and Poor's). Sublandlord may draw upon the Initial Letter of Credit or any Replacement Letter of Credit (as that term is defined below) on or after the occurrence of
either: (i) an uncured event of default under this Sublease (after notice and the passage of the applicable cure period); or (ii) any failure by Subtenant to deliver to Sublandlord a
Replacement Letter of Credit as and when required pursuant to this Section 5; provided that in the event of (i), Sublandlord may, at Sublandlord's sole option, draw upon a portion of the face
amount of the Initial Letter of Credit or any Replacement Letter of Credit, as applicable, as required to compensate Sublandlord for damages incurred (with subsequent demands at Sublandlord's sole
election as Sublandlord incurs further damage). 

        (i)    Delivery of Replacement Letter of Credit.    Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a new letter of credit (a
"Replacement Letter of Credit") at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiry date of the Initial Letter of Credit or of any Replacement Letter of Credit held by 

8

 

Sublandlord
(hereinafter, the Initial Letter of Credit and any Replacement Letter of Credit may be generically referred to as a "Letter of Credit"). Each Replacement Letter of Credit delivered by
Subtenant to Sublandlord shall: (i) be issued by a banking institution acceptable to Sublandlord in its reasonable judgment (such financial or banking institution must have a credit rating of
"AA" or better from both Moody's and Standard and Poor's); (ii) be in the same form as the letter of credit attached to this Sublease as  Exhibit D; (iii) bear an expiry date not earlier
than one (1) year from the date when such Replacement Letter of Credit is
delivered to Sublandlord; and (iv) be in an amount not less than the amount specified in Section 5(b). Upon the delivery to Sublandlord of a Replacement Letter of Credit as described in
this Section 5, Sublandlord shall return to Subtenant any previously delivered Letter of Credit then held by Sublandlord. 

        (ii)   Draw Upon Letter of Credit.    All proceeds of a draw upon of any Letter of Credit performed in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 5(b) shall be applied by Sublandlord to damages incurred by Sublandlord as a result of the event giving rise to the draw; any excess proceeds of any such
draws will be held by Sublandlord as a security deposit in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(a) above, and, at the sole election of Sublandlord, applied on one or more occasions to
remedy failures on the part of Subtenant in the payment of Rent, to repair damages to the Subleased Premises caused by Subtenant and to clean the Subleased Premises. 

        (iii)  Sublandlord's Transfer.    If Sublandlord conveys or transfers its interest in the Subleased Premises and, as
a part of such conveyance or transfer, Sublandlord assigns its interest in this Sublease: (i) the Initial Letter of Credit or any Replacement Letter of Credit shall be transferred to
Sublandlord's successor; (ii) Sublandlord shall be released and discharged from any further liability to Subtenant with respect to such Initial Letter of Credit and any Replacement Letter of
Credit; and (iii) any Replacement Letter of
Credit thereafter delivered by Subtenant shall state the name of the successor to Sublandlord as the beneficiary of such Replacement Letter of Credit and shall contain such modifications in the text
of the Replacement Letter of Credit as are required to appropriately reflect the transfer of the interest of Sublandlord in the Subleased Premises. 

        (c)   Reduction.    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 to the contrary, if, at any
time during the Term, the Reduction Conditions (defined below) occur, then, upon written request by Subtenant, Sublandlord will agree to reduce the Security Deposit to the sum of $200,000.00. If the
Security Deposit is then held in cash, such reduction shall be accomplished by Sublandlord returning to Subtenant any excess Security Deposit held by Sublandlord; if, instead, Subtenant has deposited
a Letter of Credit with Sublandlord, such reduction may be accomplished by either (i) an amendment to the then-existing Letter of Credit reducing the face amount thereof or
(ii) Subtenant procuring a replacement Letter of Credit in the amount of $200,000.00, and delivering the same to Sublandlord, following which Sublandlord shall return the Letter of Credit then
held by Sublandlord to Subtenant. As used herein, the Reduction Conditions shall mean the following: (i) Subtenant is not then in default hereunder (beyond the giving of applicable notice and
the passage of applicable grace periods) as of the date of Subtenant's initial request that the Security Deposit be reduced and (ii) Subtenant shall have demonstrated to Sublandlord's
reasonable satisfaction that Subtenant has had Positive Cash Flow (described below) for the most recent four (4) consecutive calendar quarters. Subtenant shall be deemed to have a "Positive
Cash Flow" during a calendar quarter if the Gross Revenues (described below) of Subtenant for that calendar quarter exceed Subtenant's expenses (including, without limitation, all taxes, interest,
bonuses and other compensation, dividends or other distributions to Subtenant's shareholders, and repayment of loans) for that calendar quarter. "Gross Revenues" of Subtenant for a calendar quarter
means all revenues received by Subtenant in that quarter, excluding (a) capital 

9

 

contributions
to Subtenant from its shareholders, (b) proceeds of any sale of securities or debt instruments by Subtenant, (c) amounts borrowed by Subtenant, including any amounts
borrowed from any affiliate, and (d) proceeds of any sale of all or part of the assets of Subtenant other than in the ordinary course of Subtenant's business. Subtenant's Positive Cash Flow
shall be determined in accordance with Subtenant's historical accounting practices, consistently applied. 

        6.     Expansion Option.

        (a)   Generally.    Subject to any sublease or options (whether characterized as expansion option, rights of first
refusal, rights of first offer, or otherwise) of the subtenant of the fourth floor of the Building as of the date of this Sublease ("Wageworks"), in existence as of the date of this Sublease,
Subtenant shall have the option (the "Expansion Option") to lease all or (subject to the provisions set forth below regarding the procurement of Sublandlord's consent) a portion of the area located on
the second (2nd) floor of the Building and shown cross-hatched on Exhibit A-4 to this Sublease (the "Expansion Area") if: 

        (i)    Sublandlord
receives written notice (the "Expansion Notice") from Subtenant of the exercise of its Expansion Option (if Subtenant desires to exercise the Expansion
Option with respect to less than all of the Expansion Area, the Expansion Notice will set forth in reasonable detail the portion of the Expansion Area with respect to which Subtenant desires to
exercise the Expansion Option, which will be subject to Sublandlord's prior written consent, Subtenant acknowledging that while Sublandlord will grant or withhold such consent in good faith,
Sublandlord may withhold consent to such proposed leasing of a portion of the Expansion Area if Sublandlord determines that the remainder of the Expansion Area will not be reasonably accessible or is
configured in a manner which is not conducive to Sublandlord's efforts to market such space for subleasing. if Sublandlord disapproves Subtenant's proposed subleasing of a portion of the Expansion
Area, (i) Sublandlord notify Subtenant in writing, specifying in such notice the rationale therefor, (ii) Sublandlord will meet and confer with Subtenant in a good faith effort to
determine whether there is a mutually acceptable configuration of a portion of the Expansion Area which Subtenant is willing to accept and Sublandlord is willing to consent to, and
(iii) Subtenant will not be deemed to have exercised the Expansion Option; if the parties reach agreement upon the configuration and location of such a portion of the Expansion Area for the
purposes of Subtenant's exercise of the Expansion Option, Subtenant may again deliver an Expansion Notice with respect to the agreed-upon space; provided, however, that at any time during
the period prior to the delivery of such Expansion Notice, Sublandlord may deliver an Offer Notice to Subtenant in accordance with Section 6(f) below, in which event the provisions of
Section 6(f) shall control (the space with respect to which Subtenant ultimately exercises the Expansion Option being referred to herein as the "Expansion Space"); 

        (ii)   Subtenant
is not in default (beyond any applicable notice and cure period) under this Sublease at the time Sublandlord receives the Expansion Notice; and 

        (iii)  no
more than fifty percent (50%) Subleased Premises is further sublet at the time Sublandlord receives the Expansion Notice (other than to an Affiliate or pursuant to
a Permitted Transfer under Section 21.A(3) of the Original Master Lease); and 

        (iv)  this
Sublease has not been assigned (other than to an Affiliate or pursuant to a Permitted Transfer under Section 21.A(3) of the Original Master Lease) prior to
the time Sublandlord receives the Expansion Notice; and 

        (v)   the
Expansion Space is intended for the exclusive use of Subtenant only; and 

        (vi)  Subtenant
has not vacated or abandoned the Subleased Premises at the time Sublandlord receives the Expansion Notice. 

10

 

        (b)   Rent.

        (i)    The
Base Rent rate(s) per rentable square foot for the Expansion Space shall be the same as the Base Rent rate(s) per rentable square foot for the initial Subleased
Premises on the date the term for the Expansion Space commences, and shall increase at such times and in such amount as Base Rent for the initial Subleased Premises, it being the intent of Sublandlord
and Subtenant that the Base Rent rate(s) per rentable square foot for the Expansion Space shall always be the same as the Base Rent rate(s) per rentable square foot for the initial Subleased Premises,
subject to abatement as expressly set forth in Section 6(d)(ii), below. 

        (ii)   Subtenant
shall pay Operating Costs for the Expansion Space on the same terms and conditions set forth in Section 4 of this Sublease, provided that Subtenant's
Percentage Share shall be increased appropriately to account for the addition of the Expansion Space. 

        (iii)  The
Security Deposit will be increased by an amount equal to: 

        (A)  if
Subtenant delivers its Exercise Notice prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date, six (6) months' Base Rent initially payable for the
Expansion Space; or 

        (B)  if
Subtenant delivers its Exercise Notice following the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date, (x) six (6) months Base Rent payable for the
Expansion Space multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of complete or partial calendar months remaining in the Term as of the date Subtenant delivers its Exercise
Notice and the denominator of which is forty (40) (the "Fraction"). 

Subtenant
will deliver such increased portion of the Security Deposit prior to Subtenant's occupancy of the Expansion Space (but Subtenant's failure to timely deliver such increased portion of the
Security Deposit will not postpone the commencement of Subtenant's obligation to pay Base Rent for the Expansion Space). Any such additional Security Deposit will be subject to reduction to an amount
equal to forty percent (40%) of the initial additional Security Deposit amount as, when and if the initial Security Deposit is reduced pursuant to Section 5(c) above. 

        (c)   Term.    The term for the Expansion Space shall commence on the later to occur of (i) a date set forth
in Subtenant's Expansion Notice, which date cannot be more than thirty (30) days following the date of delivery of Subtenant's Expansion Notice, and (ii) the date that Sublandlord
delivers possession of the Expansion Space to Subtenant for the purpose of Subtenant constructing Subtenant Improvements (defined in Section 16 below) therein, which date cannot be more than
thirty (30) days following the date set forth in Subtenant's Expansion Notice. From and after the commencement of the term for the Expansion Space, the Expansion Space shall be considered a
part of the Subleased Premises, subject to all the terms and conditions of this Sublease. 

        (d)   Acceptance.

        (i)    Generally.    The Expansion Space (including improvements and personally, if any) shall be accepted by
Subtenant in its "as-built" condition and configuration existing on the earlier of the date Subtenant takes possession of the Expansion Space or as of the date the term for the Expansion
Space commences; provided, that Sublandlord will construct in the Expansion Space the Second Floor Sublandlord Work (defined in Section 16 below and  Exhibit C attached hereto). The
construction of the Second Floor Sublandlord Work may take place concurrently with the construction of
Subtenant's Improvements in the Expansion Space. 

        (ii)   Allowance; Abatement.    If Subtenant delivers its Exercise Notice prior to the first (1st) anniversary of'
the Commencement Date, Subtenant shall be entitled to an improvement allowance equal to Forty Five Dollars ($45.00) per rentable square foot of the Expansion 

11

 

Space,
and Subtenant shall receive an abatement of Base Rent and Operating Costs payable with respect to the Expansion Space for the initial one hundred twenty (120) days following delivery of
the Expansion Space to Subtenant, in the manner described in Section 4.1(b) above. If Subtenant delivers its Exercise Notice after the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date, then
(x) the improvement allowance will be an amount equal to forty Five Dollars ($45.00) per rentable square foot in the applicable Expansion Space, multiplied by the Fraction, and (y) the
length of the abatement period with respect to Base Rent and Operating Costs payable for the Expansion Space will be one hundred twenty (120) days, multiplied by the Fraction. 

        (iii)  No
Other Allowances. Except as expressly set forth herein, no allowances, credits, abatements or other concessions (if any) set forth in this Sublease for the initial
Subleased Premises shall apply to-the Expansion Space. 

        (e)   Expansion Amendment.    If Subtenant is entitled to and properly exercises the Expansion Option, Sublandlord
shall prepare an amendment (the "Expansion Amendment") to reflect the commencement date of the term for the Expansion Space and the changes in Base Rent, rentable area of the Subleased Premises,
Subtenant's Percentage Share, the improvement allowance and Rent abatement described in
Section 6(d) above, if applicable and other appropriate terms. A copy of the Expansion Amendment conforming to the terms of this Section 6 shall be (i) sent to Subtenant within a
reasonable time after receipt of the Expansion Notice (not to exceed thirty (30) days, and (ii) executed by Subtenant and Sublandlord within thirty (30) days thereafter. However,
if Subtenant has delivered an Expansion Notice, Subtenant will be irrevocably bound to lease the Expansion Space from Sublandlord on the terms set forth herein regardless of whether Subtenant or
Sublandlord timely execute and deliver an Expansion Amendment. 

        (f)    Offer Notice.    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 to the contrary, if at any
time prior to Subtenant's delivery to Sublandlord of an Expansion Notice, Sublandlord receives an offer from a third party to sublease all or any portion of the Expansion Space, Sublandlord shall give
written notice to Subtenant ("Offer Notice") of such event, specifying in such Offer Notice whether all or a portion of the Expansion Space is covered by such offer. In such event, Subtenant shall
have five (5) business days following delivery of such Offer Notice in which to deliver an Expansion Notice to Sublandlord, thereby exercising Expansion Option with respect to the Expansion
Space (or, at Subtenant's option, such portion of the Expansion Space that is the subject of the offer). If Subtenant fails to timely deliver an Expansion Notice following Sublandlord's delivery to
Subtenant of an Offer Notice, Sublandlord shall be free to sublease the applicable portion of the Expansion Space to such third party, upon such terms and conditions as Sublandlord may deem
appropriate, and the Expansion Option shall thereafter be null and void and of no further force and effect with respect to such portion of the Expansion Space; provided that if the Offer Notice covers
only a portion of the Expansion Space, then Subtenant will continue to have the Expansion Option with respect to the remainder of the Expansion Space, subject to Sublandlord's right to deliver an
Offer Notice to Subtenant with respect to such space in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(0. 

        7.     Use and Occupancy.

        7.1   Use.    The Subleased Premises shall be used and occupied only for general office use, and for no other use or
purpose. 

        7.2   Compliance with Master Lease.    Subtenant agrees that it will occupy the Subleased Premises in accordance with
the terms of the Master Lease and each party agrees that it will not do or omit to do or permit any act which may result in a violation of or a default under any of the terms and conditions of the
Master Lease, or render Sublandlord or Subtenant liable for any damage, charge or expense thereunder. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Sublandlord 

12

 

will
perform its covenants and obligations under the Master Lease which do not require for their performance possession of the Subleased Premises and which are not otherwise to be performed hereunder
by Subtenant on behalf of Sublandlord. Each party further covenants and agrees to indemnify the other party against and hold the other harmless from any claim, demand, action, proceeding, suit,
liability, loss, judgment, expense (including attorneys fees) and damages of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of, by reason of, or resulting from, such party's failure to perform or
observe any of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease or this Sublease. Any other provision in this Sublease to the contrary notwithstanding, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as Rent hereunder
any and all sums which Sublandlord may be required to pay Landlord arising out of a request by Subtenant for, or use by Subtenant of, additional or over-standard Building services from
Landlord (for example, but not by way of limitation, charges associated with after-hour HVAC usage and overstandard electrical charges). Sublandlord shall not amend or modify the Master
Lease in any manner that would increase Subtenant's obligations (other than in a de minimis manner, such as adding additional notice recipients) or adversely affect Subtenant's rights under this
Sublease without the consent of Subtenant, which may be granted or withheld in Subtenant's sole discretion. Nothing set forth in this Sublease will preclude Sublandlord from exercising any rights
under the Master Lease to terminate the Master Lease in the event of casualty or condemnation. 

        7.3   Landlord's Obligations.    Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord shall not be required to perform any of the
covenants, agreements and/or obligations of Landlord under the Master Lease and Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Sublandlord shall be entitled to look to Landlord for such performance. In
addition, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to perform any repairs or any other obligation of Landlord under the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall not be responsible for any failure or interruption,
for any reason whatsoever, of the services or facilities that may be appurtenant to or supplied at the Building by Landlord or otherwise, including, without limitation, heat, air -conditioning,
ventilation, life-safety, water, electricity, elevator service and cleaning service, if any; and no failure to furnish, or interruption of, any such services or facilities shall give rise
to any (i) abatement, diminution or reduction of Subtenant's obligations under this Sublease except as otherwise provided herein, or (ii) liability on the part of Sublandlord.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord shall promptly take such action as may be necessary, under the circumstances, to secure such performance upon Subtenant's request to Sublandlord to do so and
shall thereafter diligently prosecute such performance on the part of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of clause (i) above, if an Essential Services Interruption Event (as
said term is defined in Section 15.B of the Original Master Lease) occurs which is due to the act or omission of Sublandlord, and Subtenant is prevented from using, and does not use, an
Affected Area (as said term is defined in Section 15.B of the Original Master Lease) as a result of such Essential Services Interruption event for a period in excess of the Eligibility Period
(as said term is defined in Section 15.B of the Original Master Lease), the Rent payable under this Sublease shall be abated after the expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that
Subtenant continues to be prevented from using, and does not use, the Affected Area in the proportion that the rentable area of the Affected Area bears to the total rentable area of the Subleased
Premises. 

        8.     Master Lease and Sublease Terms.

        8.1   Subject to Master Lease.    This Sublease is and shall be at all times subject and subordinate to the Master
Lease. Subtenant acknowledges that Subtenant has reviewed and is familiar with all of the terms, agreements, covenants and conditions of the Master Lease. Additionally, Subtenant's rights under this
Sublease shall be subject to the terms of the Consent. During the Term and for all periods subsequent thereto with respect to obligations which have arisen prior to the termination of this Sublease,
Subtenant agrees to perform and comply with, for the benefit of Sublandlord and Landlord, the obligations of Sublandlord under the Master Lease 

13

 

which
pertain to the Subleased Premises and/or this Sublease, except for those provisions of the Master Lease which are directly contradicted by this Sublease, in which event the terms of this
Sublease document shall control over the Master Lease. 

        8.2   Representations.    Sublandlord represents and warrants to Subtenant that (a) Sublandlord has delivered
to Subtenant a full and complete copy of the Master Lease and all other agreements between Landlord and Sublandlord relating to the leasing, use and occupancy of the Premises, (b) the Master
Lease is, as of the date hereof, in full force and effect, and (c) no event of default has occurred under the Master Lease and, to Sublandlord's knowledge, no event has occurred and is
continuing which would constitute an event of default but for the requirement of giving notice and/or the expiration of the period of time to cure. 

        8.3   Incorporation of Terms of Master Lease.    The terms, conditions and respective obligations of Sublandlord and
Subtenant to each other under this Sublease shall be the terms and conditions of the Master Lease, except for those provisions of the Master Lease which are directly contradicted by this Sublease, in
which event the terms of this Sublease shall control over the Master Lease. Therefore, for the purposes of this Sublease, wherever in the Master Lease the word "Landlord" is used it shall be deemed to
mean Sublandlord and wherever in the Master Lease the word "Tenant" is used it shall be deemed to mean Subtenant. Any non-liability, release, indemnity or hold harmless provision in the
Master Lease for the benefit of Landlord that is incorporated herein by reference, shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublandlord, Landlord, and any other person intended to be benefited by
said provision, for the purpose of incorporation by reference in this Sublease. Any right of Landlord under the Master Lease (a) of access or inspection, (b) to do work in the Master
Lease Premises or in the Building, (c) in respect of rules and regulations, which is incorporated herein by reference, shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublandlord, Landlord, and any
other person intended to be benefited by said provision, for the purpose of incorporation by reference in this Sublease. 

        8.4   Modifications.    For the purposes of incorporation herein, the terms of the Master Lease are subject to the
following additional modifications: 

        (a)   Approvals.    In all provisions of the Master Lease (under the terms thereof and without regard to
modifications thereof for purposes of incorporation into this Sublease) requiring the approval or
consent of Landlord, Subtenant shall be required to obtain the approval or consent of both Sublandlord and Landlord. 

        (b)   Deliveries.    In all provisions of the Master Lease requiring Tenant to submit, exhibit to, supply or provide
Landlord with evidence, certificates, or any other matter or thing, Subtenant shall be required to submit, exhibit to, supply or provide, as the case may be, the same to both Landlord and Sublandlord. 

14

 

 

        (c)   Damage; Condemnation.    In the event of any Taking or Casualty. as defined in the Master Lease, Subtenant
shall have the same rights to terminate this Sublease and/or to enjoy any abatement of rent as Sublandlord, as Tenant, has under the Master Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
Master Lease as incorporated herein, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to restore or rebuild any portion of the Subleased Premises after any destruction or taking by eminent domain. 

        (d)   Insurance.    In all provisions of the Master Lease requiring Tenant to designate Landlord as an additional or
named insured on its insurance policy, Subtenant shall be required to so designate Landlord and Sublandlord on its insurance policy. The first sentence of Section 8B(2) of the Master Lease
shall not be interpreted to require Subtenant to carry product liability insurance. 

        8.5   Exclusions.    Notwithstanding the' terms of Section 8.2 above, Subtenant shall have no rights nor
obligations under the following parts, Sections and Exhibits of the Master Lease:

Use", and "Occupancy Density"), Articles 2, 3, 6, Section 7.E, Section 8.B(7), Section 13.B, Articles 19, 25, 32, 33, Sections 38.J., 38.L, 38.U, 39.A, 39.C,

        (b)   First Amendment:    All. 

        8.6   Additional Modifications.    Notwithstanding the terms of Section 8.2 above, the following provisions of
the Master Lease are modified as described below for the purpose of their incorporation into this Sublease: 

        (a)   With
respect to Section 4.C of the Original Master Lease, references to "Landlord" in the eighth (8th) sentence of said section shall be deemed to be references
to Landlord and not Sublandlord. Similarly, references in the final two (2) sentences of Section 4.C of the Original Master Lease to "Landlord" shall be deemed to be references to
Landlord and not Sublandlord; 

        (b)   With
respect to the first (1st) full paragraph of the Original Master Lease following Section 7(A)(4) of the Original Master Lease, references to "Building and/or
Project" or "Building or Project" shall be deemed to be references to the Master Lease Premises; 

        (c)   The
fifth (5th) sentence of Section 12.A of the Original Master Lease shall be revised to provide that Subtenant shall have the right, without the consent of
Sublandlord, to make Alterations that comply with the provisions of this sentence and which cost, in the aggregate. less than Subtenant's Proportionate Share of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00); 

        (d)   With
respect to Section 15.B of the Original Master Lease. Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of rent in the event of an Essential Services Interruption
Event (as said term is defined in said Section 15.B) only to the extent that Sublandlord is entitled to a similar abatement of rent or in the event such Essential Services Interruption Event is
caused by Sublandlord or by Sublandlord's breach of this Sublease or the Master Lease: 

        (e)   All
references in Section 21.A(1) of the Original Master Lease to the "Recapture Amount" shall be deemed deleted, and no compensation shall be necessary for
recapture by Sublandlord of any space which Subtenant proposes to sublease or assign; 

        (f)    The
definition of Bonus Rent in Section 21.B of the Original Master Lease is revised to delete clause (ii) from the first (1st) sentence of
Section 21.B of the Original Master Lease; additionally, Bonus Rent will be calculated based upon the Rent payable by Subtenant as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4.1(c)(i) and 4.1(c)(ii);
and 

15

 

        (g)   With
respect to Article 37 of the Original Master Lease, the reference in the first (1st) sentence to the "Basic Lease Information" shall be deemed a reference to
Section 18 below. 

        (h)   With
respect to Exhibit C to the Original Master Lease, the parties acknowledge that Section 16 below generally governs Sublandlord's approval of
Subtenant's initial improvement of the Subleased Premises and the disbursement of the Allowance (as defined in Section 16 below) therefor. However, as this Sublease is subject and subordinate
to the Master Lease, Subtenant will nonetheless be additionally required to (i) construct its improvements in the Subleased Premises in accordance with the specifications included in
Schedule 2 and Schedule 3 attached as Exhibit C to the Original Master Lease, to the extent applicable to the Subleased Premises, (ii) if requested by Landlord, comply with
the provisions of Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of Exhibit C to the Original Master Lease, (iii) procure Landlord's approval of plans and specifications, contractors and subcontractors in
accordance with the provisions of Exhibit C to the Original Master Lease and (iv) comply with the provisions of Sections 6.4 and 8.2 of Exhibit C to the Original Master
Lease. 

        9.     Assignment and Subletting.    Subtenant shall not assign this Sublease or further sublet all or any part of the
Subleased Premises except subject to and in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of Article 21 of the Original Master Lease, and Sublandlord (in addition to Master Landlord) shall
have the same rights with respect to assignment and subleasing as Landlord has under such Article 21. Subtenant shall pay all fees and costs payable to Master Landlord pursuant to the Master
Lease in connection with any proposed assignment, sublease or transfer of the Subleased Premises, together with all of Sublandlord's reasonable out-of-pocket costs relating to
Subtenant's request for such consent, not to exceed $1,500 in each instance, regardless of whether such consent is granted, and the effectiveness of any such consent shall be conditioned upon Master
Landlord's and Sublandlord's receipt of all such fees and costs. 

        10.   Default.    Except as expressly set forth herein, Subtenant shall perform all obligations in respect of the
Subleased Premises that Sublandlord would be required to perform pursuant to the Master Lease. It shall constitute an event of default hereunder if Subtenant fails to perform any obligation hereunder
(including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Rent), or any obligation under the Master Lease which has been incorporated herein by reference, and, in each instance, Subtenant has not remedied
such failure after delivery of any written notice required under this Sublease and passage of any applicable grace or cure period provided in the Master Lease, less three (3) business days.
provided that in no event shall any such period be shortened to less than three (3) days. 

        11.   Remedies.    In the event of any default hereunder by Subtenant, Sublandlord shall have all remedies provided
to the "Landlord" in the Master Lease as if an event of default had occurred thereunder and all other rights and remedies otherwise available at law and in equity. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Sublandlord may continue this Sublease in effect after Subtenant's breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due. Sublandlord may resort to its remedies cumulatively or in
the alternative. 

        12.   Right to Cure Defaults.    If Subtenant fails to perform any of its obligations under this Sublease after
expiration of applicable grace or cure periods, then Sublandlord may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any such obligations for Subtenant's account. All costs and expenses incurred by
Sublandlord in performing any such act for the account of Subtenant shall be deemed Rent payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord upon demand, together with interest thereon at the lesser of (i) ten
percent (10%) per annum or (ii) the maximum rate allowable under law (the "Interest Rate") from the date of demand to Subtenant until repaid. If Sublandlord undertakes to perform any of
Subtenant's obligations for the account of Subtenant pursuant hereto, the taking of such action shall not constitute a waiver of any of Sublandlord's remedies. Subtenant hereby expressly waives its
rights under any statute to make repairs at the expense of Sublandlord. 

16

 

        13.   Consents and Approvals.    Except as otherwise provided herein, Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold, or
delay its consent to or approval of a matter requiring Sublandlord's consent hereunder. In the event Landlord's consent is required hereunder, Sublandlord hereby agrees to cooperate with Subtenant in
obtaining such consent, including, without limitation, delivering any applicable documentation requested by Sublandlord. 

        14.   Sublandlord's Liability.    Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Sublease, the liability of
Sublandlord to Subtenant for any default in Sublandlord's obligations under this Sublease shall be limited to actual, direct damages, and under no circumstances shall Subtenant, its successors and/or
assigns be entitled to recover from Sublandlord (or otherwise be indemnified by Sublandlord) for (a) any losses, costs, claims, causes of action, damages or other liability incurred in
connection with a failure of Landlord, its partners, members, shareholders, directors, agents, officers, employees, contractors, successors and /or assigns to perform or cause to be performed
Landlord's obligations under the Master Lease, except to the extent caused by Sublandlord or Sublandlord's breach of this Sublease or the Master Lease, (b) lost revenues, lost profit or other
consequential, special or punitive damages arising in connection with this Sublease for any reason, or (c) any damages or other liability arising from or incurred in connection with the
condition of the Subleased Premises or suitability of the Subleased Premises for Subtenant's intended uses, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord or
Sublandlord's breach of this Sublease or the Master Lease. Subtenant shall, however, have the right to seek any injunctive or other equitable remedies as may be available to Subtenant under applicable
law. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Sublease. no personal liability shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against Sublandlord's stockholders, directors, officers, or
partners on account of any of Sublandlord's obligations or actions under this Sublease. As used in this Sublease, the term "Sublandlord" means the holder of the tenant's interest under the Master
Lease and "Sublandlord" means the holder of sublandlord's interest under this Sublease. In the event of any assignment or transfer of the Sublandlord's interest under this Sublease, which assignment
or transfer may occur at any time during the Term in Sublandlord's sole discretion, Sublandlord shall be and hereby is entirely relieved of all covenants and obligations of Sublandlord hereunder
accruing subsequent to the date of the transfer and it shall be deemed and construed, without further agreement between the parties hereto, that any transferee has assumed and shall carry out all
covenants and obligations thereafter to be performed by Sublandlord hereunder, provided that Sublandlord has delivered the Security Deposit and/or Letter of Credit to the transferee and the transferee
has expressly assumed Sublandlord's obligations under this Sublease. Sublandlord shall transfer and deliver any then existing Security Deposit and/or Letter of Credit to the transferee of
Sublandlord's interest under this Sublease, and thereupon Sublandlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect thereto. 

        15.   Attorneys' Fees.    If Sublandlord or Subtenant brings an action to enforce the terms hereof or to declare
rights hereunder, the prevailing party who recovers substantially all of the damages, equitable relief or other remedy sought in any such action on trial and appeal shall be entitled to receive from
the other party its costs associated therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and costs from the other party. 

        16.   Delivery of Possession.

        16.1 Generally.    Except as expressly provided in this Sublease, Sublandlord shall deliver, and Subtenant shall
accept, possession of the Subleased Premises in their "AS IS" condition as the Subleased Premises exists on the Commencement Date. Sublandlord shall have no obligation to furnish, render or supply any
work, labor, services, materials, furniture, fixtures, equipment, decorations or other items to make the Subleased Premises ready or suitable for Subtenant's occupancy; except that Sublandlord will,
at Sublandlord's expense, construct the improvements described in the Work Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Sublandlord Work") no
later than January I, 2007 (a "Target Completion Date"); additionally, if Subtenant exercises the 

17

 

Expansion
Option, Sublandlord will perform the work described in Exhibit C attached hereto as the "Second Floor Sublandlord Work" in the
Expansion Space prior to the scheduled date of delivery of the Expansion Space, described in Section 6(c) above (a "Target Completion Date"). In the event that Sublandlord shall have failed to
complete the Sublandlord Work by the relevant Target Completion Date, and provided that such failure (x) is not caused by acts or omissions of Subtenant or Subtenant's employees, contractors,
agents or representatives and (y) prevents Subtenant from carrying out the Subtenant Improvements or occupying the relevant space, effective upon completion of the Sublandlord Work, the Rent
payable on the applicable Subleased Premises, or the Expansion Space, as applicable, shall be abated one day for each day of delay in completion of construction of the Sublandlord Work beyond the
relevant Target Completion Date. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord will be performing the Sublandlord Work concurrently with Subtenant's performance of Subtenant's initial Subtenant
Improvements. The parties agree to cooperate in good faith to coordinate the concurrent performance of the Sublandlord Work and the initial Subtenant Improvements so as to avoid any interference of
either party's work. In making and executing this Sublease. Subtenant has relied solely on such investigations, examinations and inspections as Subtenant has chosen to make or has made and has not
relied on any representation or warranty concerning the Subleased Premises or the Building, except as expressly set forth in this Sublease. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord has afforded
Subtenant the opportunity for full and complete investigations, examinations and inspections of the Subleased Premises and the common areas of the Building. Subtenant acknowledges that it is not
authorized to make or do any alterations or improvements in or to the Subleased Premises except as permitted by the provisions of this Sublease and the Master Lease. Except as described in
Section 16.2(a) below, Subtenant shall not be required to remove, upon termination of the Term, any of the Sublandlord Work, Subtenant Improvements, telecommunications or data cabling, unless
required by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease. 

        16.2   Subtenant's Improvements.

        (a)   Generally.    The parties hereto intend that Subtenant will construct certain improvements within all of the
Subleased Premises, so as to fully build out the Subleased Premises ("Subtenant Improvements"). Subtenant acknowledges that, with respect to the First Floor Space, the floor is currently unfinished,
and, as part of Subtenant's initial Subtenant Improvements, Subtenant must complete the floor of the First Floor Space. All Subtenant Improvements shall be carried out in accordance with the Master
Lease, in connection therewith, Subtenant will design all Subtenant Improvements so as to conform with the requirements of Schedule 2 to Exhibit C to the Original Master Lease, and
Subtenant will use structural or mechanical contractors from Landlord's list of required structural or mechanical contractors, a schedule of which is attached hereto as  Exhibit C-1. Subtenant will
also use contractors in other fields which are approved in advance by Landlord; a list of Landlord's
pre-approved general contractors and electrical subcontractors is attached hereto as Exhibit C-1. Sublandlord
acknowledges that Subtenant has also requested that Landlord approve additional general contractors. 

        (b)   Sublandlord's Approval.

        (i)    Prior
to commencement of any such work, Subtenant will submit to Sublandlord for Sublandlord's review and approval (A) the schedule of contractors and
subcontractors whom Subtenant intends to engage to perform the initial Subtenant Improvements, (B) the plans and specifications for Subtenant's Initial Improvements, and (C) the
construction contract which Subtenant intends to enter into with Subtenant's general contractor for the construction of the initial Subtenant Improvements (the pricing for the scope of the work
covered by such construction contract must contain sufficient detail to allow Sublandlord to determine line item costs associated with major trades [mechanical, 

18

 

electrical,
plumbing, lighting, paint, carpet, etc.] in order for Sublandlord to calculate associated costs on a "per rentable square foot" basis). Following Sublandlord's approval of the
foregoing, Subtenant will submit to Sublandlord for Sublandlord's review and approval all change orders to such construction contract which materially change the scope of work under such construction
contract. Subtenant expressly acknowledges that Sublandlord will withhold consent to (x) any build-out plan which does not include the construction of Subtenant Improvements to a
first-class level (described below), in all of the Subleased Premises (i.e., Subtenant will not be permitted to "warehouse" a portion of the Subleased Premises or otherwise leave any portion of
the Subleased Premises unimproved or under-improved) or (y) any scope of work in Subtenant's construction contract which does not describe the build-out of the entire Subleased
Premises on a first-class level (including, without limitation, the following: the Subleased Premises shall have been improved with a drop ceiling, all necessary HVAC ductwork and systems will be
operational, all improvements will be completed to the extent necessary to comply with Title 24 requirements and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and all surfaces shall be finished appropriately
for similar first-class space in the vicinity of the Building (i.e., sheetrock taped, sanded and painted or otherwise covered, carpet or appropriate floor covering installed), or (z) any
change order which Subtenant proposes which, in Sublandlord's good faith opinion, reduces the scope of the initial Subtenant Improvements such that less than the entire Subleased Premises is built out
to a first-class level. If Sublandlord so disapproves such a change order, Subtenant will not enter into such change order and the construction of the Subtenant Improvements will be carried out
without the revisions in scope described in such change order. If Sublandlord reasonably determines that Subtenant has violated the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence or otherwise
reduced the scope of the initial Subtenant Improvements such that the entire Subleased Premises will not be built out at a first class level, then in addition to any other rights which may be
available to Sublandlord, Sublandlord will have the right to stop disbursement of the Allowance until such violation is cured or Subtenant otherwise demonstrates to Sublandlord that the scope of
Subtenant's work has not been so diminished. 

        (ii)   Sublandlord
will approve or disapprove Subtenant's proposed plans for the initial Subtenant improvements within ten (10) business days following receipt of same.
If Sublandlord fails to respond to Subtenant's request for approval of Subtenant's plans in writing within seven (7) business days after
delivery of Subtenant's request, Subtenant may send a second notice to Sublandlord, which notice must contain the following disclaimer in bold face, capitalized type:  "NOTICE—SECOND REQUEST FOR CONSENT PURSUANT TO
SECTION 16.2 OF SUBLEASE—FAILURE TO TIMELY RESPOND MAY RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL OF
ALTERATIONS." If Sublandlord fails to respond in writing within three (3) business days after delivery of such second notice, the plans shall be deemed approved by
Sublandlord (but shall still be subject to the approval of Landlord). 

        (iii)  Subtenant
expressly acknowledges that Landlord or Sublandlord may require Subtenant to remove some or all of the Subtenant Improvements at the expiration or sooner
termination of the Term and Subtenant shall be notified of such obligation in accordance with Section 12.D of the Original Master Lease; notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord does not
require the removal of a specific Subtenant Improvement, Sublandlord will not require the removal of such Subtenant Improvement, unless (i) Subtenant does not exercise its Option to Extend, and
(ii) in Sublandlord's good faith determination, such Subtenant Improvement is not typical for a normal class "A" office build-out (by way of example, but not by way of
limitation, such Subtenant Improvement features an oversized data center, cafeteria, fitness center, or specialized improvements which are not amenable to reuse or re-lease by future
occupants). Promptly following the completion of any Subtenant Improvements or subsequent alterations or additions by or on behalf of Subtenant, Subtenant will deliver to Sublandlord a reproducible
copy of "as built" drawings of such work together with a CAD file of the "as-built" drawings in the then-current version of AutoCad. All further alterations to the Subleased
Premises by Subtenant shall comply with the terms of Section 12 of the Original Master Lease, subject to Section 8.6(iii) of this Sublease. 

19

 

 

        (c)   Landlord's Review.    Subtenant acknowledges that Landlord will have the right to review and approve all plans
for Subtenant Improvements in accordance with the provisions of the Master Lease, and while Sublandlord will reasonably assist Subtenant in the procurement of such approval, Subtenant will use
diligent efforts to provide Landlord with all information requested by Landlord in an effort to assist Landlord in evaluating and approving the Subtenant Improvements. 

        (d)   Code-Required Work.    Sublandlord shall pay all cost incurred due to any condition in the elevator
lobbies, common corridors and restrooms within the Master Lease Premises, a well as the restrooms located in the Third Floor Space, which does not comply with applicable laws on the Commencement Date,
even if the requirement that such work be performed is triggered by any Subtenant Improvements. Except as provided above, if the performance of any work by Subtenant "triggers" a requirement for
code-related upgrades to or improvements of any portion of the Building, Subtenant shall be responsible for the cost of such code-required upgrade or improvements to the
Building. 

        (e)   Allowance.

        (i)    Generally.    Provided Subtenant is not in default hereunder, beyond any applicable notice and cure period,
Sublandlord agrees to contribute $2,706,705.00 (the "Allowance") toward the cost of design, construction and other elements (i.e., "soft costs") of the initial Subtenant Improvements (which,
with the consent of Landlord and the City of San Mateo, may include an exterior entry door to the First Floor Space). Prior to the commencement of construction of the initial Subtenant Improvements,
Subtenant will submit to Sublandlord an estimate of the cost of design, construction and other elements (i.e., "soft costs") of such Subtenant Improvements based upon the general contractor's
bid for the work of improving the entire Subleased Premises (the "Improvements Cost"). As work progresses, Sublandlord will disburse the Allowance to Subtenant in monthly draws based upon the ratio
that the Allowance bears to the Improvements Cost (for example, if the Allowance is eighty percent (80%) of the Improvements Cost, Sublandlord will fund eighty percent (80%) of the monthly draws), as
follows: monthly disbursements of the Allowance shall be paid to Subtenant's contractor within thirty (30) days after receipt of the following documentation: (x) an application for
payment containing true, correct and complete copies of invoices from Subtenant's contractors or vendors covering all of the Subtenant Improvements covered by such draw; and (y) contractor's,
subcontractor's and material supplier's conditional waivers of liens which shall cover all of the Subtenant Improvements and all other statements and forms required for compliance with the mechanics'
lien laws of the state of California; notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sublandlord shall not be obligated to disburse any portion of the Allowance during the continuance of any default
by Subtenant under this Sublease which has remained uncured beyond the applicable cure period or at any time when Sublandlord in good faith has determined that Subtenant is not improving the entire
Subleased Premises to a first-class condition, and Sublandlord's obligation to disburse shall only resume when and if such default or failure to improve the entire Subleased Premises is cured. Any
Allowance not applied towards the cost of construction of the initial Subtenant Improvements may be applied by Subtenant towards the cost of purchase and installation of cabling, wiring, furniture,
improvement of the exterior entry to the Subleased Premises and other costs of moving into the Subleased Premises; such application will take place by Sublandlord's reimbursement to Subtenant of such
excess within thirty (30) days after written request by Subtenant, accompanied by applicable invoices. However, no such use of any portion of the Allowance will take place unless and until
Subtenant has constructed Subtenant Improvements within the entire Subleased Premises to a first class standard, as described above. Any Allowance not applied to the foregoing costs following the full
initial build-out of 

20

 

the
Subleased Premises shall be applied as a credit against Base Rent next due and payable under this Sublease. 

        (ii)   Eligible Personal Property.    If any portion of the Allowance is spent on the cost of acquisition of
furniture or Eligible Personal Property (defined below), at Sublandlord's option, such furniture or Eligible Personal Property will become the property of Sublandlord at the expiration or sooner
termination of the Term. As used herein, "Eligible Personal Property" shall mean major mechanical or electrical equipment (not including desktop computers), cubicles, major kitchen appliances and
telecommunication or data cabling. 

        (iii)  Additional Allowance.    If Subtenant applies the entire Allowance to the cost of its initial Subtenant
Improvements (i.e., no portion of the Allowance is allocated to the cost of the purchase of furniture or other personal property or towards a credit against Base Rent, or towards any other
expenditure other than the design and construction of Subtenant Improvements including the costs of permits), and
provided Subtenant is not then in default under this Sublease (i.e., beyond the giving of applicable notice and the passage of applicable grace periods), Subtenant shall have the right to
borrow up to $296,180.00 (i.e., $5.00 per rentable square foot of the Subleased Premises) (the "Additional Allowance") from Sublandlord in order to finance the cost of additional Subtenant
Improvements (but not the purchase of personal property or credits against Base Rent). Any Additional Allowance borrowed by Subtenant hereunder shall be repaid to Landlord as Additional Base Rent in
equal monthly installments over the then-remaining portion of the initial Term, together with interest at an annual rate equal to eight percent (8%) commencing as of the date such funds
are advanced. If Tenant at any time is in default under this Sublease (i.e., beyond the giving of applicable notice and the passage of applicable grace periods) and this Sublease is terminated
as a result of such default, the entire unamortized balance of the Additional Allowance borrowed by Subtenant shall be immediately due and payable and, except to the extent required by applicable law,
shall not be subject to mitigation or reduction in connection with the reletting of the Subleased Premises by Sublandlord. 

        (iv)  Third Floor Lobby Allowance.    In addition to the Allowance and any Additional Allowance, Sublandlord will
provide Subtenant with an allowance in the amount of $13,000.00 to be applied towards the improvement of the elevator lobby on the third (3rd) floor of the Building (the "Lobby Allowance"). Subtenant
will use the Lobby Allowance to construct improvements in the third (3rd) floor elevator lobby including, without limitation, the following: (i) carpeting, (ii) paint,
(iii) sheetrock, and (iv) a sheetrock ceiling. 

        (f)    MPOE.    The Building's Main Point of Entry ("MPOE") is located in the garage of Building. As part of the
Subtenant Improvements, Subtenant shall install a connection between the Subleased Premises to the MPOE through the communications riser room; the location of Subtenant's connection shall be subject
to the prior written approval of Sublandlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and the prior written consent of Landlord. 

        (g)   Building Management Systems.    In the design of all Subtenant Improvements, Subtenant will install "Automatic
Controls" for all Building management system programming and communications. Sublandlord will provide Subtenant with appropriate specifications. 

        (h)   Access Control.    As part of Subtenant's initial Subtenant Improvements, Subtenant shall have the right to
install a controlled access system (i.e., a card key system) governing access to the Subleased Premises, subject to the review and approval of both Sublandlord and Landlord. 

        (i)    Construction Administration Fee.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.B the Master Lease,
Sublandlord shall not charge Subtenant any administration or construction management fee in connection with Subtenant's construction of the initial Subtenant Improvements 

21

 

in
either the Subleased Premises described in recital B or in the Expansion Space. Subtenant shall pay or reimburse Sublandlord for any administration or construction management fee charged by Master
Landlord on account of the Subtenant Improvements up to an amount equal to 3.5% of the cost of the initial Subtenant Improvements: pursuant to the Master Lease, subsequent alterations carried out by
Subtenant entitle Landlord to charge a fee equal to five percent (5%) of the subsequent Subtenant Improvements, which will be payable by Subtenant. If Landlord requires the reimbursement of other
professional fees or costs associated with Subtenant's initial Subtenant Improvements, Sublandlord will bear such fees and costs; this provision will not apply to reimbursable costs applicable to
subsequent improvements constructed by or on behalf of Subtenant. 

        17.   Holding Over.    If Subtenant fails to surrender the Subleased Premises at the expiration or earlier
termination of this Sublease, occupancy of the Subleased Premises after the termination or expiration shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance unless Sublandlord has expressly consented to such
holdover. Subtenant's occupancy of the Subleased Premises during the holdover shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Sublease and Subtenant shall pay an amount equal to 150% of Base
Rent due for the period immediately preceding the holdover plus all other amounts due hereunder. No unauthorized holdover by Subtenant or payment by Subtenant after the expiration or early termination
of this Sublease shall be construed to extend the Term or prevent Sublandlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Subleased Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. In addition to the
payment of the amounts provided above, if Subtenant holds over without Sublandlord's consent and Sublandlord is unable to deliver possession of the Subleased Premises (or any portion) to a new
subtenant or to Landlord, as the case may be, or to perform improvements for a new subtenant, as a result of Subtenant's holdover. Subtenant shall be liable to Sublandlord for all damages, including,
without limitation, consequential damages, that Sublandlord suffers from the holdover; Subtenant expressly acknowledges that such damages may include all of the holdover rent charged by Landlord under
the Master Lease as a result of Subtenant's holdover, which Master Lease holdover rent may apply to the entire Master Lease Premises. 

        18.   Parking.    During the Term Subtenant shall be permitted to use one hundred eighty-one
(181) of the unreserved parking spaces allocated to Sublandlord in the Master Lease in accordance with and subject to the terms of Article 32 of the Original Master Lease. 

        19.   Notices:    Any notice by either party to the other required, permitted or provided for herein shall be valid
only if in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given only if (a) delivered personally, or (b) sent by means of Federal Express, UPS Next Day Air or another reputable express mail

or removal of such signage shall be repaired to Landlord's satisfaction by Subtenant at Subtenant's sole cost and expense. The right to maintain the Exterior Signage is personal to the original

covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision of this Sublease shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant of the party bound by, undertaking or making same, not

CONSENT TO SUBLEASE  

        THIS CONSENT TO SUBLEASE ("Consent") is made as of 12/14, 2006, by and among BAY
MEADOWS PARK PLACE INVESTORS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Landlord"), ORACLE USA, a Colorado corporation
("Tenant"), and EPOCRATES, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Subtenant"). 

RECITALS:  

        A.    Landlord
currently leases to Tenant (as successor-in-interest to Siebel Systems, Inc. ("Siebel")) certain
"Premises" (as more particularly described in the "Lease", as hereinafter defined) located within the building commonly known as 1100 Park Place, San
Mateo, California 94403, pursuant to that certain lease agreement dated as of December 29, 2000 (the "Original Lease"), by and between PW
Acquisitions VIII, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Original Landlord") and Siebel, as amended by that certain First Amendment to
Lease dated as of April 29, 2003, by and between Landlord and Siebel (the Original Lease, as so amended, is referred to herein as the "Lease).
Landlord is successor in interest to Original Landlord as "Landlord" under the Lease. 

        B.    Tenant
desires to sublease a portion of the Premises (the "Subleased Premises") more particularly described in and
pursuant to the provisions of that certain Sublease dated as of 12/3, 2006 (the "Sublease"), a copy of which is attached hereto. 

        C.    Tenant
desires to obtain Landlord's consent to the Sublease. 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, Landlord hereby consents to the Sublease, subject to and upon the following terms and conditions to which Tenant and Subtenant hereby agree: 

        1.     The
Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Lease and to all of its terms, covenants, conditions and provisions. In the event of any conflict between the terms and
provisions of the Lease and the Sublease, the terms and provisions of the Lease shall control as between Landlord and Tenant, and as between Landlord and Subtenant. Tenant and Subtenant hereby
represent and warrant to Landlord that the Sublease (together with this Consent) constitutes the entire agreement of Tenant and Subtenant with respect to the subleasing of the Subleased Premises by
Subtenant (including, without limitation, as to any payments made by Subtenant to Tenant in connection with the subletting of the Subleased Premises). 

        2.     Subtenant
acknowledges that Landlord is hereby giving notice pursuant to Section 6.4c of Exhibit C to the Original Lease that all work by the Contractor and
its Major Agents shall be done with union labor in accordance with all union labor agreements applicable to the trades being employed, using contractors and subcontractors selected by Subtenant from
among contractors reasonably designated or approved by Landlord, as described in the Sublease. Additionally, Landlord requires that the initial improvements to the Subleased Premises be constructed in
a first-class standard, similar in quality to the standard of improvements constructed in the "Dorado" space in the building located at 1200 Park Avenue, San Mateo, California; in particular, the
tegular ceiling tile and 2' × 2' ceiling grid will match that installed in the "Dorado" space, and the general illumination light fixtures, whether
2' × 2' or 2' × 4', will be recessed direct/indirect fluorescent as specified for the Building by Gensler & Associates; fixtures will be PMC
Lighting (SS22-R-DI or SS24-R-DI) with T-5 lamps. Landlord agrees to review Subtenant's draft plans for the initial Improvements (as defined
in the Sublease) and to respond with Sublandlord's approval or disapproval of same within fifteen (15) business days following submission of such plans to Landlord. 

        3.     Neither
the Sublease nor this Consent shall: 

        (a)   release
or discharge Tenant from any liability, whether past, present or future, under the Lease; 

        (b)   operate
as a consent or approval by Landlord to or of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of the Sublease, and Landlord shall not be bound thereby; 

        (c)   be
construed to modify, waive or affect any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of the Lease, or to waive any breach thereof, or any of Landlord's rights
thereunder, or to enlarge or increase Landlord's obligations thereunder; 

        (d)   be
construed as a consent by Landlord to any further subletting either by Tenant or by Subtenant or to any assignment by Tenant of the Lease or an assignment by
Subtenant of the Sublease, whether or not the Sublease purports to permit the same and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, both Tenant and Subtenant agree that Subtenant has no right
whatsoever to sell, assign, transfer or hypothecate the Sublease nor to sublet any portion of the Subleased Premises or permit any of the Subleased Premises to be used or occupied by any other party
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which will be granted or withheld in accordance with the provisions of the Lease; or 

        (e)   be
construed to include consent to the assignment or transferring of any lease options or rights that are by the express provisions of the Lease not assignable or
transferable to a subtenant under a sublease requiring the consent of Landlord. 

        4.     Landlord
consents to the location of Subtenant's exterior signage as described in Exhibit E to the Sublease
(provided, that Subtenant acknowledges that Landlord may require the removal, relocation or reduction in size of some or all of Subtenant's exterior signage if (i) required by applicable
governmental authority, (ii) Subtenant is in default under the terms of the Sublease and such default has not been cured within the applicable notice and cure period, (iii) Subtenant is
occupying less than 40,000 rentable square feet in the Subleased Premises as they are described in the Sublease, or (iv) the nature or condition of Subtenant's business is no longer consistent
with the first-class nature of the Building). 

        5.     The
acceptance by Landlord of any payment or performance from Subtenant, regardless of the circumstances or reasons therefor, shall in no manner whatsoever be deemed an
attornment by Subtenant to Landlord or a recognition or non-disturbance of Subtenant or the Sublease by Landlord or to serve to release Tenant from any liability under the terms,
covenants, conditions or provisions under the Lease; provided, however, nothing herein shall in any manner obligate Landlord to accept any such payment or performance. 

        6.     The
term of the Sublease shall expire and come to an end on its stated expiration date (but in no event later than the stated expiration date of the Lease) or any
premature termination date thereof or concurrently with any premature termination of the Lease (whether by consent or other right, now or hereafter agreed to or by operation of law or in the event of
a default by Tenant); provided that in the event of a termination of the Lease for any reason, including without limitation a voluntary surrender by Tenant, or in the event of any re-entry
or repossession of the Premises by Landlord, Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under the Sublease, in which case Subtenant shall
attorn to Landlord and the Sublease shall not terminate but Landlord shall not (i) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under the Sublease, (ii) be subject to any defense
or offset previously accrued in favor of the Subtenant against Tenant, (iii) be bound by any modification of the Sublease made without Landlord's written consent or by any previous prepayment
by Subtenant of more than one month's rent, or (iv) be responsible for any security deposit given by Subtenant to Tenant and not received by Landlord. The address of Subtenant for all purposes
of receipt of notices under the Sublease or this Consent shall be as follows:

Attn: John Owens, Vice President

 

         7.     Tenant
and Subtenant covenant and agree that (i) under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable for any brokerage commission or other charge or expense in
connection with the Sublease, and 

Tenant
and Subtenant agree to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless against same and against any fees, costs, expenses or liabilities (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees) incurred
by Landlord in connection with same and (ii) if and to the extent that Landlord's consultants are retained to review plans and specification for work to be performed by Subtenant, or by
Sublandlord for the benefit of Subtenant, or to respond to inquiries from Sublandlord or Subtenant regarding any such work, or carry out site visits to inspect any such work, the reasonable fees and
costs charged by such consultants will be paid by Tenant (i.e., not by Subtenant) within thirty (30) days after Landlord's delivery of an invoice to Tenant for such fees and costs. Such
professional fees (excluding reimbursable costs) for the consulting work performed by Landlord's consultants (structural, architectural, mechanical, plumbing, fire protection and electrical) shall not
exceed $4,500. This amount may be revised as mutually and reasonably agreed to between the Tenant and the Landlord based on unforeseen circumstances or performance by the design or construction teams
that is not consistent with industry standards. Tenant and Subtenant agree that Landlord's construction administration fee, described in Section 5.1 of Exhibit C to the Master Lease, in
the amount of 3.5% of the "Tenant's Work Costs" associated with Subtenant's initial improvement of the Subleased Premises will be payable by Subtenant directly to Landlord (and no corresponding fee
will be payable to Sublandlord). 

        8.     Any
act or omission of Subtenant or anyone claiming under or through Subtenant that violates any of the provisions of the Lease shall be deemed a violation of the Lease
by Tenant. 

        9.     Landlord
consents to the sublease of the Premises only at such time as this Consent has been executed by all of the parties hereto and an original counterpart has been
delivered to Landlord. Tenant hereby agrees to pay an amount equal to Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) in consideration of Landlord's attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with the review of
the Sublease and this Consent. This Consent is not assignable, nor shall this Consent be a consent to any amendment or modification of the Sublease, without Landlord's prior written consent. 

        10.   In
the event any party(ies) hereto shall institute any action or proceeding against the other party(ies) relating to this Consent or to the Sublease, the unsuccessful
party(ies) in such action or proceeding shall reimburse the successful party(ies) for its(their) disbursements incurred in connection therewith and for its(their) reasonable attorneys' fees and costs
as fixed by the court. In addition to the foregoing award of attorneys' fees to the successful party(ies), the successful party(ies) in any lawsuit on this Consent or the Sublease shall be entitled to
its(their) attorneys' fees and costs incurred in any post-judgment proceedings to collect or enforce the judgment. This provision is separate and several and shall survive the merger of
this Consent into any judgment on this Consent. 

        11.   This
Consent may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the
same instrument. 

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, this Consent has been executed by the parties as of the date first above written.

FIRST AMENDMENT

TO SUBLEASE AGREEMENT 

        THIS
FIRST AMENDMENT TO SUBLEASE AGREEMENT ("First Amendment") is entered into as of May 2, 2007, by and between ORACLE USA, INC., a Colorado corporation ("Sublandlord")
and EPOCRATES, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Subtenant"), with reference to the following facts: 

        A.    Pursuant
to that certain Sublease dated as of December 3, 2006 (the "Sublease"), Subtenant subleased from Sublandlord certain space consisting of approximately
59,236 rentable square feet on the first (1st), second (2nd) and third (3rd) floors of the Building located at 1100 Park Place, San Mateo, California (collectively, the "Subleased Premises"). 

        B.    Subtenant
desires to install three (3) 5-ton heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") units on the roof of the Building (the "Units") to
accommodate Subtenant's HVAC needs now, and have the right to install an additional HVAC unit in the future if needed. The parties have determined that an existing HVAC pad (the "Pad") depicted on the
plan attached hereto as Exhibit A, is the most suitable location for such Units. 

        C.    Installation
of the Units on the Pad may create a future need for the installation of a new, additional pad similar in size, material and other features to the Pad (the
"New Pad") on the Building rooftop for use by Landlord. As consideration for Landlord's consent to Subtenant's use of the Pad, Landlord and Sublandlord desire that Subtenant pay an amount equal to the
estimated cost of the installation of the New Pad, in accordance with this First Amendment. 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties, Sublandlord
and Subtenant hereby agree as follows (capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning given them in the Sublease): 

        1.     Incorporation of Recitals.    Recitals A, B and C above are hereby incorporated herein by reference. 

        2.     Installation of Units.    As part of Subtenant's initial Subtenant Improvements, Subtenant shall install the
Units on the Pad, and shall perform such installation in accordance with the terms of the Sublease, including Section 16.2 entitled "Subtenant Improvements". Subtenant shall ensure that the
Units are appropriately seismically braced and stacked in such a manner as to allow the future installation of an additional HVAC unit. 

        3.     New Pad Estimate.    Within thirty (30) days following the mutual execution and delivery of this First
Amendment by the parties hereto, Sublandlord and Landlord shall jointly obtain and approve an estimate of the cost of the New Pad installation (the "New Pad Estimate"). 

        4.     Reduction in Subtenant Allowance.    The amount of the Allowance payable by Sublandlord to Subtenant pursuant to
Section 16.2(e) of the Sublease shall be reduced by the amount of the New Pad Estimate. Such reduction shall constitute payment by Subtenant to Sublandlord for costs associated with the
installation of the New Pad, and shall relieve Subtenant of its obligation to pay for such costs. 

        5.     Sublandlord's Payment to Landlord.    Pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement by and between Sublandlord
and Landlord, Sublandlord shall pay an amount equal to the New Pad Estimate to Landlord in accordance therewith. 

        6.     Counterparts.    This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

        7.     Except
for the foregoing changes, all other provisions of the Sublease shall remain in full force and effect.

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto hereby execute this Sublease as of the day and year first above written.

Section 4.1(a) of the Original Sublease, for the calendar months of December, 2009, January, 2010, February, 2010 and March, 2010 and, as a result of the adjustment in Base Rent payable under

imposition of the Tax Cap effective as of the Rent Adjustment Date pursuant to this Section 3(b), Subtenant is entitled to a credit in the amount of the aggregate overpayment of the Taxes
component of Operating Costs for such months equal to $53,992.20, which credit shall be applied towards Subtenant's obligation to pay Rent commencing as of the calendar month of April, 2010. 

        (c)    Appeal.    If and to the extent that, as a result of an appeal of Secured Property Taxes by Sublandlord or
Landlord, the Secured Property Taxes described in Section 7.A(I) of the Original Lease (i) attributable to any period prior to the Rent Adjustment Date are retroactively reduced and/or
(ii) attributable to any period from and after the Rent Adjustment Date are reduced below the Tax Cap, then Subtenant shall be entitled to an equitable credit against Rent payable hereunder
equal to the aggregate amount of Subtenant's Percentage Share of such reduction.

        4.    Security Deposit: Replacement of Letter of Credit with Cash Security
Deposit.    Section 5(a) of the Original Sublease is hereby amended to replace the reference to the amount of $495,000 to the amount of $300,000. Within five
(5) business days following the Second Amendment Effective Date, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a cash deposit in the amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) which shall
be held by Sublandlord as the Security Deposit pursuant to the provisions of Section 5(a) of the Original Sublease thereafter. Promptly following Subtenant's delivery of such cash Security

Sections 5(b) and 5(c) and Exhibit D of the Original Sublease shall be deemed deleted in their entirety,
and Sublandlord shall cooperate with Subtenant, at no additional cost to Sublandlord, to assist Subtenant, as necessary, in facilitating the termination of such Replacement Letter of Credit. 

        5.    Condition of Subleased Premises.    Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Amendment or the Sublease, Subtenant is in possession of the Subleased Premises and accepts the same "as is" without any agreements, representations, understandings or obligations on the part of
Sublandlord to (i) perform any alterations, additions, repairs or improvements, (ii) fund or otherwise pay for any alterations, additions, repairs or improvements to the Subleased
Premises, or (iii) grant Subtenant any free rent, concessions, credits or contributions of money with respect to the Subleased Premises. 

        6.    Right of First Offer.    As of the Second Amendment Effective Date, the following shall
replace Section 6 of the Original Sublease in its entirety: 

        (a)    Right of First Offer.    Immediately after the Second Amendment Effective Date, Subtenant shall have an ongoing
right of first offer (the "Right of First Offer") with respect to (i) 16,371 rentable square feet of space located on the second (2nd) floor of
the Building and designated as Suite 250, and more particularly described in Exhibit A-1 attached hereto, and
(ii) 12,204 rentable square feet of space located on the first (1st) floor of the Building, designated as Suite 100, and more particularly described in  Exhibit A-2 attached hereto, and
(iii) 36,020 rentable square feet of space located on the fourth (4th) floor of the Building
and designated as Suite 400, and more particularly described in Exhibit A-3 attached hereto (each, an  "Offering Space"). if such space becomes
Available for Sublease (described below). Offering Space shall be deemed to be  "Available for Sublease" when Sublandlord has determined that the current occupant of such space will not extend or renew
the term of its sublease for
the Offering Space or that its sublease for the Offering Space will otherwise terminate prior to the scheduled expiration date of same. After Sublandlord has determined that a particular Offering
Space is Available for Sublease (but prior to subleasing such Offering Space to a third party), Sublandlord shall advise Subtenant (the "Advice") of the
terms, including Base Rent, etc. (subject to the provision of Section 6(b) below), under which Sublandlord is prepared to sublease the Offering Space to Subtenant for the remainder of the
Extended Term on an "as-is" basis. Sublandlord, upon request 

3

 

of
Subtenant, shall promptly meet and confer with Subtenant regarding the terms upon which Sublandlord would be willing to sublease the Offering Space to Subtenant, provided that Sublandlord's
agreement to meet with Subtenant will not obligate Sublandlord to agree to any changes for the terms set forth in any Advice. Subtenant may lease such Offering Space in its entirety only, under such
terms, by delivering written notice of exercise to Sublandlord ("Offering Space Notice of Exercise") within ten (10) business days after
Sublandlord's delivery of the Advice, except that Subtenant shall have no such Right of First Offer and Sublandlord need not provide Subtenant with an Advice, if: 

          (i)  Subtenant
is in default (after Sublandlord's delivery of any applicable notice and the passage of any applicable cure period) under the Sublease (as amended hereby) at
the time Sublandlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or 

         (ii)  No
more than 50% of the Subleased Premises is subleased (other than to an Affiliate or pursuant to a Permitted Transfer under Section 21.A(3) of the Original
Master Lease) at the time Sublandlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or 

        (iii)  Subtenant's
interest in the Sublease has been assigned (other than to an Affiliate or pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) prior to the date Sublandlord would otherwise
deliver the Advice; or 

        (iv)  the
Offering Space is not intended for the exclusive use of Subtenant or its permitted Transferees during the Extended Term. 

        (b)    Terms.    

        (i)    Generally.    The term for the Offering Space shall commence upon the later of the commencement date stated in
the Advice and the date Sublandlord delivers the Offering Space to Subtenant and thereupon such Offering Space shall be considered a part of the Subleased Premises, provided that all of the terms
stated in the Advice (including the Base Rent rate), as amended in accordance with the parties' agreement, if any, reached subsequent to the issuance of the Advice, shall govern Subtenant's leasing of
the Offering Space and only to the extent that they do not conflict with the Advice (as amended in accordance with the parties' agreement, if any, reached subsequent to the issuance of the Advice) the
terms and conditions of this Second Amendment shall apply to the Offering Space. Unless otherwise specified in the Advice (as amended in accordance with the parties' agreement, if any, reached
subsequent to the issuance of the Advice), the Offering Space shall be accepted by Subtenant in its condition and as-built configuration existing on the earlier of the date Subtenant takes
possession of the Offering Space or as of the date the term for such Offering Space commences. 

        (ii)    Term Commencing June 1, 2011.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the term for the Offering Space will
commence on or before June 1, 2011, then: 

        (A)  the
Base Rent rate(s) per rentable square foot for the applicable Offering Space shall be the same as the Base Rent rate(s) per rentable square foot for the Subleased
Premises, at the monthly base rental rates per rentable square foot set forth in Section 2(a) above, on the date the term for the Offering Space commences, and shall increase at such times and
in such amount as the Base Rent rate(s) for the Subleased Premises; 

        (B)  Subtenant
shall pay Operating Costs for the Additional Offering Space on the same terms and conditions set forth in Section 3 above (inclusive of the Property Tax
Cap), provided that Subtenant's Percentage Share shall be increased appropriately to account for the addition of the Offering Space; 

4

 

        (C)  the
Security Deposit will be increased by an amount equal to the Security Deposit multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable area of the Offering
Space and the denominator of which is the rentable area of the Subleased Premises as increased by the addition of such Offering Space. Subtenant will deliver such increased portion of the Security
Deposit prior to Subtenant's occupancy of the applicable Offering Space (but Subtenant's failure to timely deliver such increased portion of the Security Deposit will not postpone the commencement of
Subtenant's obligation to pay Rent for the applicable Offering Space). 

        (c)    Failure to Exercise; Expiration.    The rights of Subtenant hereunder with respect to the Offering Space shall
terminate on the earlier to occur of: (i) with respect to any portion of the Offering Space pursuant to which Sublandlord delivers an Advice, Subtenant's failure to exercise its Right of First
Offer within the ten (10) business day period provided in Section 6(a) above, and (ii) the date Sublandlord would have provided Subtenant an Advice if Subtenant had not been in
violation of one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 6(a) above. 

        (d)    Offering Amendment.    If Subtenant timely exercises the Right of First Offer, Sublandlord shall prepare an
amendment (the "Offering Amendment") adding the Offering Space to the Subleased Premises on the terms set forth in the Advice, (as amended in accordance
with the parties' agreement, if any, reached subsequent to the issuance of the Advice) and reflecting the changes in the Base Rent, rentable area of the Subleased Premises, Subtenant's Percentage
Share and other appropriate terms. A copy of the Offering Amendment shall be (i) sent to Subtenant within a reasonable time after Sublandlord's receipt of Subtenant's Offering Space Notice of
Exercise, and (ii) executed by Subtenant and returned to Sublandlord within thirty (30) days thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, regardless of whether Subtenant executes the
Offering Amendment, Subtenant shall be irrevocably bound to lease the Offering Space upon the terms and conditions of an applicable Advice, (as amended in accordance with the parties' agreement, if
any, reached subsequent to the issuance of the Advice) if Subtenant exercises the Right of First Offer. 

        (e)    Subordination.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Right of First Offer is subject and
subordinate to the expansion rights (whether such rights are designated as a right or first offer, right of first refusal, expansion option or otherwise) of Wageworks, Inc., of the Building
whose rights were granted prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date. 

        7.    Subtenant's Default—Sublandlord's Remedies.    Effective as of the Second
Amendment Effective Date, Section 11 of the Original Sublease is hereby amended by adding the following: 

"Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 11 or any other provision of this Sublease to the contrary, if Sublandlord is exercising its remedies due solely to a Default described
in Section 26.A(2) and Section 26.A(3) of the Original Master Lease (a "Limited Remedy Event of Default"), the aggregate amount Subtenant
shall be required to pay to Sublandlord from and after the date of the occurrence of such Limited Remedy Event of Default (the "Default Occurrence
Date") shall be limited to the sum of: 

          (i)  the
present value, as of the Default Occurrence Date, discounted at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of Default Occurrence
Date, plus one percent (1%), of all Base Rent for the unexpired portion (after the Default Occurrence Date) of the initial Term and Extended Term as if this Sublease had not expired or been
terminated; 

         (ii)  any
amounts of Additional Rent which are due and payable or have accrued under this Sublease through the Default Occurrence Date; and 

        (iii)  any
amounts of Additional Rent which are due and payable or have accrued under this Sublease after the Default Occurrence Date while Subtenant remains in possession of
the Subleased Premises after any Limited Remedy Event of Default that relates to insurance, utilities, 

5

 

repairs,
maintenance, environmental maintenance, remediation and compliance and other routine and customary costs and expenses of operating and maintaining the Subleased Premises (including, without
limitation, Subtenant's Percentage Share of Operating Costs). Furthermore, additional reimbursement for any unpaid damages caused solely by a Limited Remedy Event of Default may not be claimed by
Sublandlord under any other provision of this Sublease. In the event of a conflict between the provisions under this Section 11 and any other provision of any other transaction document, the
provisions contained in this Section 11 shall prevail." 

        8.    Restroom Upgrades.    Subject to Landlord's approval,
Sublandlord agrees to replace the existing restroom fixtures in or serving the Subleased Premises on each of the floors on which the Subleased Premises are located (3rd, 2nd and
1st floors) with new "touchless" fixtures (inclusive of sink, urinal and toilet fixtures using Building-standard improvements and finishes (collectively "Restroom
Fixture Replacement Work"), at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, not to exceed $50,000.00. Sublandlord shall not charge any construction management or construction supervision
fee in connection with the Restroom Fixture Replacement Work, but any such fee charged by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of the Master Lease shall be solely the responsibility of Subtenant. Prior
to committing to any expenditure with regard to the foregoing, Sublandlord shall obtain Subtenant's written approval of the costs and expenses thereof, and shall provide adequate assurances to
Subtenant that Subtenant shall not be responsible for any costs and expenses of the Restroom Fixture Replacement Work above $50,000.00 (unless and to the extent that any such increased costs result
from changes requested by Subtenant). Subtenant will deposit with Sublandlord the estimated cost of the Restroom Fixture Replacement Work prior to Sublandlord's commencement of the Restoration Fixture
Replacement Work. Subtenant expressly acknowledges that Sublandlord shall perform the Restroom Fixture Replacement Work during
business hours, and that, despite Sublandlord's reasonable efforts, some aspects of such work may interfere with Subtenant's ability to use the applicable restroom fixtures from time to time, and
agrees that no such interference shall constitute a constructive eviction under the Sublease. Subject to Landlord's waiver of an restitution requirement, in no event shall Subtenant have any removal
or restoration obligations with respect to the improvements constructed pursuant to the Restroom Fixture Replacement Work. 

        9.    Deleted Provisions.    Effective as of the Second Amendment
Effective Date, the following provisions of the Original Sublease are hereby deleted, null and void, and of no further force or effect: 

        (a)   Section 3
(Option to Extend); 

        (b)   All
references to the Letter of Credit contained in Section 5, as well as Exhibit D; 

        (c)   Any
provision of Section 1.C of Exhibit C to the Original Sublease which references lobby upgrade work to be performed by Subtenant. 

        10.    Restated Provision.    Effective as of the Second Amendment Effective Date,
Section 16.2 of the Original Sublease is deleted and restated in its entirety as follows: 

        "16.2    Subtenant's Improvements.    

        (a)    Generally.    If Subtenant intends to construct improvements within the Subleased Premises ("Subtenant
Improvements"), all Subtenant Improvements shall be carried out in accordance with the Master Lease, in connection therewith, Subtenant will design any Subtenant Improvements so as to conform with the
requirements of Schedule 2 to Exhibit C to the Original Master Lease, and Subtenant will use structural or mechanical contractors from Landlord's list of required structural or
mechanical contractors, a schedule of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C-1. Subtenant will also use contractors in other fields
which are approved in advance by Landlord; a list of Landlord's pre-approved general contractors and electrical subcontractors is attached hereto as  Exhibit C-1. 

6

 

        (b)    Sublandlord's Approval.    

          (i)  Prior
to commencement of any such work, Subtenant will submit to Sublandlord for Sublandlord's review and approval (A) the schedule of contractors and
subcontractors whom Subtenant intends to engage to perform the initial Subtenant Improvements, (B) the plans and specifications for Subtenant's Initial Improvements, and (C) the
construction contract which Subtenant intends to enter into with Subtenant's general contractor for the construction of the initial Subtenant Improvements (the pricing for the scope of the work
covered by such construction contract must contain sufficient detail to allow Sublandlord to determine line item costs associated with major trades [mechanical, electrical, plumbing,
lighting, paint, carpet, etc.] in order for Sublandlord to calculate associated costs on a "per rentable square foot" basis). Following Sublandlord's approval of the foregoing, Subtenant
will submit to Sublandlord for Sublandlord's review and approval all change orders to such construction contract which materially change the scope of work under such construction contract. 

         (ii)  Subtenant
expressly acknowledges that Landlord or Sublandlord may require Subtenant to remove some or all of the Subtenant Improvements at the expiration or sooner
termination of the Term and Subtenant shall be notified of such obligation in accordance with Section 12.D of the Original Master Lease; notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord does not
require the removal of a specific Subtenant Improvement, Sublandlord will not require the removal of such Subtenant Improvement, unless (i) Subtenant does not exercise its Option to Extend, and
(ii) in Sublandlord's good faith determination, such Subtenant Improvement is not typical for a normal class "A" office build-out (by way of example, but not by way of
limitation, such Subtenant Improvement features an oversized data center, cafeteria, fitness center, or specialized improvements which are not amenable to reuse or re-lease by future
occupants). Promptly following the completion of any Subtenant Improvements, Subtenant will deliver to Sublandlord a reproducible copy of "as built" drawings of such work together with a CAD file of
the "as-built" drawings in the then-current version of AutoCad. All Subtenant Improvements shall comply with the terms of Section 12 of the Original Master Lease,
subject to Section 8.6(c) of this Sublease. 

        (c)    Landlord's Review.    Subtenant acknowledges that Landlord will have the right to review and approve all plans
for Subtenant Improvements in accordance with the provisions of the Master Lease, and while Sublandlord will reasonably assist Subtenant in the procurement of such approval, Subtenant will use
diligent efforts to provide Landlord with all information requested by Landlord in an effort to assist Landlord in evaluating and approving the Subtenant Improvements. 

        (d)    Code-Required Work.    Except as provided above, if the performance of any work by Subtenant
"triggers" a requirement for code-related upgrades to or improvements of any portion of the Building, Subtenant shall be responsible for the cost of such code-required upgrades
or improvements to the Building. 

        (e)    Construction Administration Fee.    The Master Lease entitles Landlord to charge a fee equal to five percent
(5%) of the cost of any Subtenant Improvements, which will be payable by Subtenant. If
Landlord requires the reimbursement of other professional fees or costs associated with Subtenant's initial Subtenant Improvements, Sublandlord will bear such fees and costs; this provision will not
apply to reimbursable costs applicable to subsequent improvements constructed by or on behalf of Subtenant." 

        11.    Miscellaneous.    

        (a)   This
Second Amendment and the attached exhibits, which are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Second Amendment, set forth the entire agreement between the
parties 

7

 

with
respect to the matters set forth herein. There have been no additional oral or written representations or agreements. 

        (b)   Except
as herein modified or amended, the provisions, conditions and terms of the Sublease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. 

        (c)   In
the case of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Sublease and this Second Amendment, the provisions of this Second Amendment shall govern and control. 

        (d)   Submission
of this Second Amendment by Sublandlord is not an offer to enter into this Second Amendment but rather is a solicitation for such an offer by Subtenant.
Sublandlord shall not be bound by this Second Amendment until Sublandlord has executed and delivered the same to Subtenant. 

        (e)   The
capitalized terms used in this Second Amendment shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Sublease to the extent that such capitalized terms are defined
therein and not redefined in this Second Amendment. 

        (f)    Subtenant
hereby represents to Sublandlord that Subtenant has dealt with no broker in connection with this Second Amendment other than Cassidy Turley BT Commercial
(f.k.a. NAI BT Commercial) ("Subtenant's Broker"). Subtenant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from all claims of any brokers
(other than Subtenant's Broker) claiming to have represented Subtenant in connection with this Second Amendment. Sublandlord hereby represents to Subtenant that Sublandlord has dealt with no broker in
connection with this Second Amendment other than Colliers International ("Sublandlord's Broker"). Sublandlord agrees to indemnify and hold Subtenant
harmless from all claims of any brokers claiming to have represented Sublandlord in connection with this Second Amendment. Sublandlord shall be solely responsible for the payment of any commissions
owed to
Subtenant's Broker and Sublandlord's Broker as a result of the execution and delivery of this Second Amendment. 

        (g)   Sublandlord
represents and warrants to Subtenant that each signatory of this Second Amendment signing on behalf of Sublandlord has the authority to execute and deliver
the same on behalf of Sublandlord. 

        (h)   Subtenant
represents and warrants to Sublandlord that (i) each signatory of this Second Amendment signing on behalf of Subtenant has the authority to execute and
deliver the same on behalf of Subtenant and (ii) Subtenant is currently in compliance with and shall at all times during the Extended Term (including any extension thereof) remain in compliance
with the regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control ("OFAC") of the Department of the Treasury and any statute, executive order (including the
September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action relating
thereto. 

        (i)    This
Second Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts each of which is deemed an original but together constitute one and the same instrument. This Second
Amendment may be executed in so-called "pdf" format and each party has the right to rely upon a pdf counterpart of this Second Amendment signed by the other party to the same extent as if
such party had received an original counterpart.

	Re:
	Modification of Employment Terms

Dear
Jeff: 

As
we have discussed, this letter agreement confirms an amendment (the "Amendment") to the terms of your employment offer letter with the predecessor of
Epocrates, Inc. (the "Company") dated June 14, 1999 (the "Offer Letter"). The Amendment
will become effective only as of the effective date of the initial public offering of the Company's common stock (the "IPO"), and if the IPO does not
occur, this Amendment will not become effective. For the purposes of the Offer Letter and this Amendment, we agree that the IPO will not qualify as a Change of Control (defined in Section 10). 

The
Amendment is as follows: 

        1.     The following will become Section 9 of the Offer Letter. 

        9.    Severance Benefits Not In Connection With A Change of
Control.    If, at any time other than during the twelve (12) months following the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined in Section 10
herein), the Company or any successor entity terminates your employment without Cause (as defined herein), and if you first sign, date, and deliver to the Company a separation agreement that includes
a general release of all known and unknown claims in the form provided to you by the Company and allow this separation agreement and release to become effective, then you will receive the following as
your sole severance benefits (the "Severance Benefits"): (i) severance pay equal to six (6) months of your base salary in effect as of the
termination date, less required deductions and withholdings, paid in the form of salary continuation on the Company's standard payroll dates (beginning with the first payroll date following the
effective date of the required separation agreement); and (ii) provided that you timely elect continued group health insurance coverage through federal COBRA law or comparable state law
(collectively, "COBRA"), the Company will pay your COBRA premiums sufficient to continue your group health insurance coverage at the same level in
effect as of your termination date for six (6) months after your termination or until you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer, whichever occurs first. For
purposes of this letter agreement, "Cause" means any of the following conduct by you: (i) embezzlement, misappropriation of corporate funds, or
other material acts of dishonesty; (ii) the conviction, plea of guilty, or nolo contendere to any felony (not involving the operation of a motor vehicle), or of any misdemeanor involving moral
turpitude; (iii) engagement in any activity that you know or should know could materially harm the business or reputation of the Company, provided that this subsection (iii) shall not
apply to any activity done in a good faith belief by you that the action taken or omission was in the best interest of the Company; (iv) material violation of any statutory, contractual, or
common law duty or obligation owed by you to the Company, including, without limitation, the duty of loyalty which causes demonstrable injury to the Company; (v) material breach of the
Confidentiality Agreement; or (vi) repeated failure, in the reasonable judgment of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), to
substantially perform your assigned duties or responsibilities after written notice from the Board describing the failure(s) in reasonable detail and your failure to cure such failure(s) within thirty
(30) days of receiving such written notice, provided that written notice only must be provided if the failure(s) are capable of cure. 

1

 

        2.     The following will become Section 10 of the Offer Letter. 

        10.    Change of Control Severance Benefits.    In the event that:
(i) the Company consummates a change of control transaction, whereby fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting stock of the Company changes
ownership pursuant to such transaction (a "Change of Control"); and (ii) within twelve (12) months after the consummation of a Change of
Control, your employment with the Company is either (a) terminated by the Company or successor entity without Cause (as defined in Section 9 herein), or (b) terminated by you for
Good Reason (as defined in and in accordance with the paragraph below); and (iii) you sign, date, and deliver to the Company a separation agreement that includes a general release of all known
and unknown claims in the form provided to you by the Company and allow this separation agreement and release to become effective; then you will receive the following as your sole severance benefits
(the "Change of Control Severance Benefits"): (a) severance pay equal to nine (9) months of your base salary in effect as of the
termination date, less required deductions and withholdings, paid in the form of salary continuation on the Company's standard payroll dates (beginning with the first payroll date following the
effective date of the required separation agreement); (b) provided that you timely elect continued group health insurance coverage through COBRA, the Company will pay your COBRA premiums
sufficient to continue your group health insurance coverage at the same level in effect as of your termination date for nine (9) months after your termination or until you become eligible for
group health insurance coverage through a new employer, whichever occurs first; and (c) any unvested shares subject to any option grants held by you as of the employment termination date will
become vested and exercisable, effective as of the employment termination date. 

        For
purposes of this Section 10, "Good Reason" shall mean one or more of the following conditions that resulted from the
consummation of the Change of Control without your written consent: (i) a relocation of your assigned office more than thirty-five (35) miles from its location immediately
prior to the Change of Control; (ii) a material decrease in your base salary (except for salary decreases generally applicable to the Company's other executive employees); or (iii) a
material reduction in the scope of your duties or responsibilities from your duties and responsibilities in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall
not be deemed to have terminated your employment for "Good Reason" unless (i) such termination occurs within ninety (90) days following the initial existence of one or more of the
conditions that constitute Good Reason (as defined herein), and (ii) you provide written notice to the Company (or any successor entity) of the existence of the Good Reason condition within
thirty (30) days following the initial existence of the condition, and the Company (or its successor entity) shall have a period of thirty (30) days following such notice to cure the
condition. If the condition is cured within such time period, such condition shall not constitute a condition for which you may terminate your employment for Good Reason. 

        3.     The following will become Section 11 of the Offer Letter. 

        11.    Parachute Payments.    In the event that the benefits provided
for in this letter agreement or otherwise payable to you ("Payment") would constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and, but for this sentence, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced
Amount" shall be either (i) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (ii) the largest
portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever of the foregoing amounts, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes and the
Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the receipt by you, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment, notwithstanding that all or
some portion of the Payment may be subject to 

2

 

the
Excise Tax. Unless the Company and you otherwise agree in writing, the determination of your Excise Tax liability shall be made in writing by the accounting firm engaged by the Company for general
audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change of Control (the "Accountants"). If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company
is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations
required hereunder. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 11, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may
rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. Any good faith determinations of the Accountants made hereunder shall be final,
binding, and conclusive upon the Company and you. The Company and you shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a
determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 11. To the extent that
any elimination in or reduction of payments or benefits is made under this Section 11, the determination as to the order in which payments and benefits shall be reduced shall be made by you
(subject, however, to the Company's approval if made on or after the date on which the event that triggers the payments or benefits occurs). 

        4.     The following will become Section 12 of the Offer Letter. 

        12.    Deferred Compensation.    Severance payments made pursuant to
Section 9 or Section 10, to the extent of payments made from the date of your termination through March 15 of the calendar year following your termination, are intended to
constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and thus payable pursuant to the "short-term deferral" rule set forth in
Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. To the extent such payments are made following said March 15, they are intended to constitute separate payments for
purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations made upon an involuntary termination from service and payable pursuant to
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, to the maximum extent permitted by such provision, with any excess amount being regarded as subject to the distribution
requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, including, without limitation, the requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code that payment be delayed until six
(6) months after separation from service if you are a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time of such separation from service. 

Except
as modified herein, all other terms of the Offer Letter shall remain in full force and effect. 

This
Amendment, together with the Offer Letter, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the terms of your employment, effective as of the first business day of the IPO.
It supersedes any prior statements, representations or promises made to you concerning the subjects contained in this letter agreement and the Offer Letter, and only can be modified in a writing
signed by you and a duly authorized director or officer of Epocrates.

	Amendment to March 11, 2008 Letter Agreement

Dear
Jeff: 

        This
letter agreement confirms an amendment (the "Amendment") to the terms of your letter agreement dated March 11, 2008 with
Epocrates, Inc. (the "Company") providing for modified employment terms (including a severance arrangement) in the event of the initial public

        The
IPO Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following two new sentences to the end of the paragraph entitled "Deferred Compensation": 

        Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, any payments and benefits provided under this Agreement that constitute "deferred compensation" within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively
"Section 409A") shall not commence in connection with your termination of employment unless and until you also have incurred a "separation from
service" (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h)), unless the Company reasonably determines that such amounts may be provided to you without causing you
to incur the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A. In addition, the fully executed and effective general release of all known and unknown claims discussed in Section 11
of this Agreement must be provided by you to the Company within the applicable time period set forth in the Release but in no event later than sixty (60) days following your termination of

Re:    Amended and Restated Severance Benefits Agreement

Dear
Jeff: 

        As
we have discussed, this severance benefits agreement confirms an amendment (the "Amendment") to the terms of your employment offer
letter with the predecessor of Epocrates, Inc. (the "Company") dated June 14, 1999 (the "Offer
Letter"). This Amendment supersedes and replaces in full the March 11, 2008 letter agreement between you and the Company, as amended pursuant to the amendment agreement
between you and the Company dated December 23, 2008 (collectively, the "Amended IPO Agreement"). This Amendment is effective as of May 12,
2009, provided that you sign and return this Amendment within five (5) business days after your receipt of this Amendment. 

        The
Amendment is as follows: 

        1.     The following becomes Section 9 of the Offer Letter. 

        9.    Severance Benefits Not In Connection With A Change of
Control.    If, at any time other than during the twelve (12) months following the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined in
Section 10 herein), the Company or any successor entity terminates your employment without Cause (as defined herein), and if you first sign, date, and deliver to the Company a separation
agreement that includes a general release of all known and unknown claims in the form provided to you by the Company (the "Release") and allow the
Release to become effective, then you will receive the following as your sole severance benefits (the "Severance Benefits"): (i) severance pay
equal to six (6) months of your base salary in effect as of the termination date, less required deductions and withholdings, paid in the form of salary continuation on the Company's standard
payroll dates (beginning with the first payroll date following the effective date of the Release); and (ii) provided that you timely elect continued group health insurance coverage through
federal COBRA law or comparable state law (collectively, "COBRA"), the Company will pay your COBRA premiums sufficient to continue your group health
insurance coverage at the same level in effect as of your termination date for six (6) months after your termination or until you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a
new employer, whichever occurs first. For purposes of this letter agreement, "Cause" means any of the following conduct by you: (i) embezzlement,
misappropriation of corporate funds, or other material acts of dishonesty; (ii) the conviction, plea of guilty, or nolo contendere to any felony (not involving the operation of a motor
vehicle), or of any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; (iii) engagement in any activity that you know or should know could materially harm the business or reputation of the Company,
provided that this subsection (iii) shall not apply to any activity done in a good faith belief by you that the action taken or omission was in the best interest of the Company;
(iv) material violation of any statutory, contractual, or common law duty or obligation owed by you to the Company, including, without limitation, the duty of loyalty which causes demonstrable
injury to the Company; (v) material breach of the Confidentiality Agreement; or (vi) repeated failure, in the reasonable judgment of the Company's Board of Directors (the
"Board"), to substantially perform your assigned duties or responsibilities after written notice from the Board describing the failure(s) in reasonable
detail and your failure to cure such failure(s) within thirty (30) days of receiving such written notice, provided that written notice only must be provided if the failure(s) are capable of
cure. 

        2.     The following becomes Section 10 of the Offer Letter. 

        10.    Change of Control Severance
Benefits.    In the event that: (i) the Company consummates a change of control transaction, whereby fifty percent (50%) or more of the
voting stock of the 

 

Company
changes ownership pursuant to such transaction (a "Change of Control"); and (ii) within twelve (12) months after the consummation
of a Change of Control, your employment with the Company is either (a) terminated by the Company or successor entity without Cause (as defined in Section 9 herein), or
(b) terminated by you for Good Reason (as defined in and in accordance with the paragraph below); and (iii) you sign, date, and deliver to the Company the Release and allow it to become
effective; then you will receive the following as your sole severance benefits (the "Change of Control Severance Benefits"): (a) severance pay
equal to nine (9) months of your base salary in effect as of the termination date, less required deductions and withholdings, paid in the form of salary continuation on the Company's standard
payroll dates (beginning with the first payroll date following the effective date of the Release); (b) provided that you timely elect continued group health insurance coverage through COBRA,
the Company will pay your COBRA premiums sufficient to continue your group health insurance coverage at the same level in effect as of your termination date for nine (9) months after your
termination or until you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer, whichever occurs first; and (c) any unvested shares subject to any option grants held by you
as of the employment termination date will become vested and exercisable, effective as of the employment termination date. 

        For
purposes of this Section 10, "Good Reason" shall mean one or more of the following conditions that arose upon or following the
consummation of the Change of Control without your written consent: (i) a relocation of your assigned office more than thirty-five (35) miles from its location immediately
prior to the Change of Control; (ii) a material decrease in your base salary (except for salary decreases generally applicable to the Company's other executive employees); or (iii) a
material reduction in the scope of your duties or responsibilities from your duties and responsibilities in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall
not be deemed to have terminated your employment for "Good Reason" unless (i) such termination occurs within ninety (90) days following the initial existence of one or more of the
conditions that constitute Good Reason (as defined herein), (ii) you provide written notice to the Company (or any successor entity) of the existence of the Good Reason condition within thirty
(30) days following the initial existence of the condition, and (iii) the Company (or its successor entity) fails to cure such condition within a period of thirty (30) days
following such written notice. 

        3.     The following becomes Section 11 of the Offer Letter. 

        11.    Parachute Payments.    In the event that the benefits provided
for in this letter agreement or otherwise payable to you ("Payment") would constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and, but for this sentence, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced
Amount" shall be either (i) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (ii) the largest
portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever of the foregoing amounts, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes and the
Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the receipt by you, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment, notwithstanding that all or
some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. Unless the Company and you otherwise agree in writing, the determination of your Excise Tax liability shall be made in writing by the
accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change of Control (the
"Accountants"). If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the
Change of Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. For purposes of making the calculations required by this
Section 11, the Accountants may make 

2

 

reasonable
assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.
Any good faith determinations of the Accountants made hereunder shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the Company and you. The Company and you shall furnish to the Accountants such information
and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with
any calculations contemplated by this Section 11. To the extent that any elimination in or reduction of payments or benefits is made under this Section 11, the order in which payments
and benefits shall be reduced shall be made by the Accountants in a manner that shall provide you with the greatest economic benefit, but if more than one manner of reduction of payments and benefits
necessary to arrive at the Reduced Amount yields the greatest economic benefit to you, then the payments and benefits shall be reduced pro rata. 

        4.     The following becomes Section 12 of the Offer Letter. 

        12.    Deferred Compensation.    Severance payments made pursuant to
Section 9 or Section 10, to the extent of payments made from the date of your termination through March 15 of the calendar year following your termination, are intended to
constitute separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and thus payable pursuant to the "short-term deferral" rule set forth in
Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. To the extent such payments are made following said March 15, they are intended to constitute separate payments for
purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations made upon an involuntary termination from service and payable pursuant to
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, to the maximum extent permitted by such provision, with any excess amount being regarded as subject to the distribution
requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code, including, without limitation, the requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code that payment be delayed until six
(6) months after separation from
service if you are a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time of such separation from service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth herein, if any payments and benefits provided under this offer letter agreement that constitute "deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations
and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively "Section 409A") (i) such payments and benefits shall not
commence in connection with your termination of employment unless and until you also have incurred a "separation from service" (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.409A-1(h)), unless the Company reasonably determines that such amounts may be provided to you without causing you to incur the adverse personal tax consequences under
Section 409A, and (ii) the Release required by Sections 9 and 10 above shall be considered effective only as of the latest permitted effective date for such Release if such
Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which your employment termination occurs. 

        Except
as modified herein, all other terms of the Offer Letter shall remain in full force and effect. 

        This
Amendment, together with the Offer Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the terms of your employment, and
supersedes any prior statements, representations or promises made to you concerning the subjects contained in this Amendment and the Offer Letter (including but not limited to the Amended IPO
Agreement). This Amendment only can be modified in a writing signed by you and a duly authorized director or officer of Epocrates.
