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

Extension Option. Section 6 of the Third Amendment is hereby deleted in its entirety. Tenant shall retain the right to further extend the term of the Lease for the entire Premises for one (1) additional period of three (3) years under the terms and conditions of Section 7 of the First Amendment, provided (a) all references in such Section 7 to the "Modified Expiration Date" shall mean and refer to the Fourth Amendment Expiration Date referenced in Section 1 above, and (b) the reference to "2018" in the last clause of Section 7.2.(B) of the First Amendment shall be modified to "2024".
7.
California Civil Code Section 1938. Pursuant to California Civil Code § 1938, Landlord hereby states that the Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) (defined in California Civil Code § 55.52) and provides the following notification to Tenant: "A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction related accessibility standards within the premises." In accordance with the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that if Tenant requests a CASp inspection of the Premises, then Tenant shall pay (i) the fee for such inspection, and (ii) the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises;





provided, that, if Tenant is required to obtain such CASp inspection by applicable Law or to avoid any penalty imposed under applicable Law, then the cost of and obligation of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises shall be governed by the provisions of the Lease.
8.
Package HVAC Units. In the event Tenant desires to utilize any existing dedicated heating, ventilation and air conditioning units ("Package Units") within any portion of the Premises, or installs, as part of the Tenant Improvement Work or as an Alteration, new Package Units within any portion of the Premises, the plans and specifications for any Package Units shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval. If Tenant elects to utilize or install Package Units within the Premises, Tenant shall also install, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, separate meters or at Landlord's option, sub-meters, in order to measure the amount of electricity furnished to such Package Units and Tenant shall be responsible for Landlord's actual cost of supplying electricity to such units as reflected by such meters or sub-meters, which amounts shall be payable on a monthly basis as Additional Rent. Tenant shall be responsible for maintenance and repair of the Package Units pursuant to Section 25.5 of the Original Lease and such units may be subject to removal by Tenant upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease pursuant to Section 25.5 of the Original Lease.
9.
Surrender. Except as required under Section 23 of the Original Lease (regarding removal of Lines) and except as required under Section 25.5 of the Original Lease and Section 8 above (regarding Units and Package Units), and except for Tenant's obligation to remove all of Tenant's full floor signage (i.e., any signage in the elevator lobby, hallways, or other areas of any full floor leased by Tenant), upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, as amended hereby, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good condition and repair as exists as of the date of this Fourth Amendment, except for reasonable wear and tear, casualty, condemnation and repairs that are Landlord's express responsibility hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) in the event any Alterations are installed by Tenant in the Premises after the date of this Fourth Amendment which are not approved by Landlord, Tenant shall remove such non-approved Alterations upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and repair any damage associated with such removal, and (b) in the event Alterations are installed by Tenant in the Premises after the date of this Fourth Amendment (including, without limitation, any Tenant Improvement Work to be installed in the Premises by Tenant in accordance with the Work Letter attached to the Third Amendment as Exhibit A), which are approved by Landlord, Tenant shall not be required to remove such Tenant Improvement Work or Alterations upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. For clarity, nothing contained in this Section 10 shall be construed to limit Tenant's obligation to remove the Lines, Units, Package Units upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
10.
Miscellaneous.

This Fourth Amendment and the attached exhibits, which are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Fourth Amendment, set forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein. There have been no additional oral or written representations or agreements.

10.2
Except as herein modified or amended, the provisions, conditions and terms of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
10.3
In the case of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Lease and this Fourth Amendment, the provisions of this Fourth Amendment shall govern and control.
10.4
Submission of this Fourth Amendment by Landlord is not an offer to enter into this Fourth Amendment but rather is a solicitation for such an offer by Tenant. Landlord shall not be bound by this Fourth Amendment until Landlord has executed and delivered it to Tenant.





10.5
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Fourth Amendment shall have the meanings given in the Lease.
10.6
Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord, its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, mortgagee(s) and agents, and the respective principals and members of any such agents harmless from all claims of any brokers, other than Savills Studley, claiming to have represented Tenant in connection with this Fourth Amendment. Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant, its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, and agents, and the respective principals and members of any such agents harmless from all claims of any brokers claiming to have represented Landlord in connection with this Fourth Amendment. Tenant acknowledges that any assistance rendered by any agent or employee of any affiliate of Landlord in connection with this Fourth Amendment has been made as an accommodation to Tenant solely in furtherance of consummating the transaction on behalf of Landlord, and not as agent for Tenant.
10.7
Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that to Landlord's actual knowledge, without any duty of inquiry, no Security Agreement which is secured by the Building exists on the date hereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord leases the land underlying the Project pursuant to a ground lease (the "Ground Lease") under which Landlord currently is the lessee and the lessor. Tenant agrees that in the event of any merger of the ground leasehold interest with fee ownership of the Premises or other termination of the Ground Lease relating to the Premises, the Lease (as amended) shall not be terminated or destroyed by the application of the doctrine of merger and the Lease (as amended) shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such merger or other termination.
10.8
This Fourth Amendment may be executed in any number of duplicate originals, all of which shall be of equal legal force and effect. Additionally, this Fourth Amendment may be executed in counterparts, but shall become effective only after each party has executed a counterpart hereof; all said counterparts when taken together, shall constitute the entire single agreement between the parties. This Fourth Amendment may be executed by a party's signature transmitted by portable document format ("pdf") or email or by a party's electronic signature (collectively, "pdf Signatures"), and copies of this Fourth Amendment executed and delivered by electronic means or originals of this Fourth Amendment executed by pdf Signature shall have the same force and effect as copies hereof executed and delivered with original wet signatures. All parties hereto may rely upon emailed or pdf Signatures as if such signatures were original wet signatures. Any party executing and delivering this Fourth Amendment by pdf or email shall promptly thereafter deliver a counterpart signature page of this Fourth Amendment containing said party's original signature. All parties hereto agree that a pdf or emailed signature page or a pdf Signature may be introduced into evidence in any proceeding arising out of or related to this Fourth Amendment as if it were an original wet signature page.
10.9
Tenant and Landlord's affiliate, Hudson Concourse, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Hudson Concourse") have concurrently entered into that certain Lease, of even date herewith, whereby Hudson Concourse leases to Tenant Suite 500 and Suite 600 (collectively, the "Concourse Premises") of the building located at 1745 Technology Drive, San Jose, California (the "Concourse"), contingent upon Hudson Concourse successfully terminating the existing leases for the Concourse Premises (collectively, the "Existing Leases") prior to their scheduled expiration dates. In the event Hudson Concourse has not entered into an agreement, within forty-five (45) days after the date of full execution and delivery of this Fourth Amendment, to terminate the Existing Leases effective on or prior to June 1, 2018, Landlord shall so notify Tenant and Tenant may, within five (5) days after such notice, terminate this Fourth Amendment, unless Landlord and Tenant mutually agree in writing to extend the forty-five (45) day period referenced above. In the event Hudson Concourse enters into an agreement, within forty-five (45) days after the date of full execution and delivery of this Fourth Amendment, to terminate the Existing Leases effective as of a date on or prior to June 1, 2018, but fails to deliver the Concourse Premises by June 1, 2018, Tenant may, within five (5) days after such date (but prior to the date Landlord actually delivers the Concourse Premises to Tenant), terminate this Fourth Amendment.
