WHEREAS, in connection with the execution of the Google Sublease, Landlord is willing to modify certain terms of the Lease as the same would apply to Subtenant, and, in certain respects, to amend the Lease, in each case all as more particularly set forth herein;

        Subject to Article II hereof:

1.1. Parking. With respect to the seventh (7th) sentence of Section 2.3 of the Lease, the following shall be added after the initial occurrence of the word “Tenant” therein: “or Subtenant, or Subtenant’s subtenants or assignees.”

1.2. Tenant’s Relinquishment of its Renewal Rights.

        (i) Landlord will, concurrently with its delivery to Tenant of any Landlord’s Expense Statement, deliver a duplicate of Landlord’s Expense Statement to Subtenant.

        (ii) Following the Substantial Occupancy Date (as defined in the Google Sublease), Subtenant may pay Operating Expenses directly to parties entitled thereto to the extent that Tenant is entitled to do so under the Lease.

Lease, excluding, however the following provisions of the Ground Lease: Article 1 (Definitions) (unless such definitions are used in the incorporated sections), Article 2 (Demise, Term and Surrender), Article 3 (Rent), Sections 4.4, 4.5.1, 4.5.3, 4.5.9.1, 4.5.9.2, and 4.5.9.3 of Article 4 (Use), Article 5 (Payment of Real Property Taxes and Facility Charges), Sections 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 of Article 6 (Construction of Improvements and Mechanic’s Liens), Sections 7.l.1, 7.4 and 7.5 of Article 7 (Insurance and Indemnity), Article 9 (Condemnation), Article 10 (Default and Remedies), Article 11 (Assignment and Subletting), Article 12 (Transfer of Leased Premises by Landlord), Article 13 (Tenant Mortgages) and Article 14 (General Provisions, except to the extent relevant to the incorporated sections).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event the time given to Landlord as tenant under the Ground Lease is shorter than the time given to Tenant by this Lease to perform or do the same act or thing, then Tenant shall perform or do said thing within the time specified in the Ground Lease.”

1.5. Prohibited Uses. With respect to the last sentence of Section 7.2 of the Lease (prohibiting firearms on the Premises), no explosives or firearms shall be brought into the Premises, except that firearms may be carried by personnel of security firms retained by Landlord, Tenant or Subtenant for the provision of security services to the Premises. Any security firm hired by Tenant will be a Tenant Agent and any security firm hired by Subtenant shall be a Subtenant Representative (as such term is defined in the Google Sublease) for purposes of indemnification obligations of Tenant and Subtenant under the Lease and the Google Sublease.

1.6. Alterations.

        (a) With respect to Article 10 of the Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that Subtenant may make requests for consents or approvals or other submissions in respect of proposed Alterations directly to Landlord and, in such case, will concurrently with its delivery to Landlord, deliver a duplicate to Tenant. Landlord shall respond directly to Subtenant in connection with such requests or other submissions and, in such case, if such response is in writing, will concurrently with the delivery of such response to Subtenant, deliver a duplicate to Tenant. Any Alteration with respect to which Subtenant has procured Landlord’s approval shall not require the approval of Tenant.

        (b) In requesting Landlord’s approval for an Alteration (or at any time thereafter), Subtenant shall separately identify which Alterations it wishes Landlord to designate as Non-Severable Material Alterations for purposes of insuring the same under the property insurance for the Building to be procured by Landlord pursuant to the Lease; without affecting Landlord’s approval right pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(ii) hereof, Landlord shall have no responsibility to


3


regard any Alteration as a Non-Severable Material Alteration or to so insure the same unless so proposed by Tenant or Subtenant (as applicable).

        (c) With respect to Section 10.1 of the Lease:

        (i) Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval to any Alteration proposed to be made by Subtenant (or Subtenant’s subtenants or assignees) (regardless whether the same is a Material Alteration), and

        (ii) If Tenant or Subtenant proposes that Landlord designate a Material Alteration as a Non-Severable Material Alteration pursuant to Section 1.6(b) above, Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, will make its determination in respect of such proposal (and deliver to Tenant or Subtenant, as applicable, notice of such determination) concurrently with Landlord’s approval of the Material Alteration in question; if Landlord fails to timely make such determination, then the Alterations proposed by Tenant or Subtenant, as applicable, shall be deemed to be Non-Severable Material Alterations; if an Alteration is not designated (and not deemed to be designated) a Non-Severable Material Alteration, then Landlord shall nevertheless have the right at any time subsequent to so designate it, provided that, if Tenant’s or Subtenant’s property insurance policy is then covering such Non-Severable Material Alteration, then until the expiration of such policy, Operating Expenses shall be adjusted so as to exclude therefrom the cost of insuring such Non-Severable Material Alteration under Landlord’s property insurance policy.

        (d) With respect to Section 10.2(a) of the Lease, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of plans and specifications for any Material Alteration, and the procedure set forth in said Section 10.2(a) for Landlord’s review and approval or deemed approval of Alterations shall apply to Material Alterations; provided that the 10 business day periods and 5 business day periods referred to therein shall in each instance be deemed to be, respectively, 20 business day periods and 10 business day periods in respect of Material Alterations.

        (e) With respect to Section 10.2(b) of the Lease, Alterations by Tenant or Subtenant shall not require either Tenant or Subtenant to provide Landlord with the letter of credit or other security prescribed in said 10.2(b), provided, upon the completion of the Alterations in accordance with Article 10 of the Lease, Landlord shall nevertheless be entitled to the items described in clauses (B)(x), (y) and (z) of the third sentence of said Section 10.2(b).

        (f) With respect to Section 10.2(c) of the Lease, Tenant’s obligation to procure the insurance coverage described therein may be satisfied, in the event of Alterations to be constructed by Subtenant, by Subtenant’s procurement of such coverage.

        (g) With respect to Section 10.3 of the Lease:

        (i) Clause (ii) of Section 10.3(a) of the Lease is hereby amended and restated as follows: “(ii) Landlord reasonably determines that the Alteration in question is not consistent with or typical for general multi-tenanted office, technology, research and development facilities in the vicinity of the Premises (including, without limitation, by reason of where in the Premises the Alteration is to be located or the style or materials in which the Alteration is to be executed) or that the Alteration in question is unique to the occupant, such as signage identifying the occupant.” The sentence in the Lease following said clause (ii) is hereby deleted.

        (ii) The following are examples, but without limitation, of Alterations to the interior of the Building that the Landlord may require Tenant or Subtenant to restore pursuant to Section 10.3(a)(ii) of the Lease, as amended by Section 1.6(g)(i) above: (1) a theatre, (2) an oversized computer room with raised flooring (e.g., as of the date hereof, a computer room in excess of 300 square feet of Rentable Area), and (3) a “call center” with a capacity in excess of what is customary for typical office usage. The following are examples, but without limitation, of Alterations to the interior of the Building that Landlord may not require Subtenant to restore pursuant to Section 10.3(a)(ii) of the Lease, as amended by Section 1.6(g)(i) above: (w) the upgrade of existing facilities within the Building which have not previously been designated by Landlord for restoration if such upgrade does not materially change the character of the facilities in question, (x) the construction of individual offices that are of a type not materially inconsistent with the type of offices typically found in general multi-tenanted office, technology, research and development facilities in the vicinity of the Premises, (y) the installation of reasonably typical cubicles to house Subtenant’s employees, and (z) the construction of a reasonable quantity of conference or meeting rooms that are of a size reasonably consistent with the range of conference room sizes typically found in general multi-tenanted office, technology, research and development facilities in the vicinity of the Premises. Further, Landlord agrees that it shall not require Subtenant to restore pursuant to Section 10.3(a)(ii) of the Lease, as amended by Section 1.6(g)(i) above, Alterations to the exterior of the Building if the same is an upgrade or improvement upon existing exterior improvements consistent with the design and use of such existing exterior improvement (for example, an upgrade of the volleyball court) or is an improvement that is a typical amenity in multi-tenanted general office, technology, research and development facilities in the vicinity of the Premises.

        (iii) The dispute resolution procedure described in Section 10.3(b) of the Lease shall apply to all Alterations (as opposed to only Permitted Alterations).


5


        (iv) Landlord acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, except as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, Tenant has not performed any Alterations which Landlord has, pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.3 of the Lease, required to be restored at the expiration or termination of the Lease.

        (v) Landlord agrees that if Subtenant restores the existing laboratory and research space identified on Exhibit A to standard multi-tenant office space, as determined in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Landlord will return to Tenant the security deposited by Tenant in connection with its construction of such laboratory and research space (except to the extent that Landlord has the right to utilize such deposit in connection with other obligations owed to Landlord by Tenant).

        (vi) Regardless whether Landlord shall require Subtenant under Section 10.3(a) of the Lease to restore an Alteration made by Subtenant, Landlord agrees that it shall not require Tenant to effect such restoration of an Alteration approved by Landlord and made by Subtenant.

        (h) Further, with respect to Section 10.3(c) of the Lease:

        (i) Reference is hereby made to that certain letter agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Landlord and Subtenant, which sets forth certain financial tests in respect to Subtenant’s financial condition (such letter agreement, the “Financial Tests Letter Agreement”).

        (ii) Landlord agrees, for the benefit of Subtenant, that so long as, but only for so long as, (x) Subtenant satisfies each of the financial tests set forth in the Financial Tests Letter Agreement, and (y) Subtenant complies with its obligations under Sections 1.12(a) and 1.12(b), Landlord will not require the deposit of security pursuant to Section 10.3(c) of the Lease to secure the obligation to restore Alterations undertaken by Subtenant.

        (iii) Within thirty (30) days after delivery of any financial statement or certificate to be delivered under Section 1.12(a) or 1.12(b) that shows that Subtenant is not satisfying each of the financial tests set forth in the Financial Tests Letter Agreement, or within fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord to Subtenant of Subtenant’s default in its obligation under Sections 1.12(a) and 1.12(b) and Subtenant’s failure to cure such default within such fifteen (15) day period, Subtenant shall either (x) deliver to Landlord a letter of credit as required under Section 10.3(c)(i) of the Lease or (y) grant to Landlord a perfected, first priority security interest in a banking account that holds cash in the amount of security required under Section 10.3(c), pursuant to a security agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

1.7. Insurance.

        (a) With respect to the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to Section 14.2(b) of the Lease, so long as Subtenant (or Tenant and Subtenant together) procures coverage in compliance with the requirements of Section 14.2(b) and Section 14.3 of the Lease, Tenant will not be required to maintain such insurance coverage.

        (b) The provisions of Section 14.5 of the Lease are deemed revised so that references therein to “the parties” shall be deemed to refer to Landlord, Tenant and Subtenant, and references to “Landlord and Tenant” shall be deemed to refer to “Landlord, Tenant and Subtenant.”

1.8. Assignment and Subletting.

        (a) With respect to Section 15.1 of the Lease:

        (i) Section 15.1 of the Lease shall be applicable to Subtenant, and references therein to Tenant shall also mean Subtenant, references therein to Lease shall also mean the Google Sublease and references therein to “Sublease” shall also mean a sub-sublease by Google.

        (ii) The phrase “which Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion” in the final sentence of Section 15.1 of the Lease is deleted and replaced with the phrase “which Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold.”

        (iii) Landlord and Tenant agree that, without the necessity of obtaining the further consent of Landlord or Tenant, Subtenant shall be permitted from time to time to permit its clients and/or venture partners (each, an “Approved User”) to temporarily occupy space concurrently with Subtenant within the Premises in order to make such Approved User more accessible to Subtenant, provided that the Approved Users shall not occupy, in the aggregate, more than fifteen percent (15%) of the rentable area of the Premises. Subtenant shall notify Landlord and Tenant of the name of each Approved User within 10 business days of such Approved User’s initial occupancy of space within the Premises, as well as the approximate square footage occupied by such Approved User and rent to be paid by such Approved User, and shall, on January 2 of each year, furnish Landlord and Tenant with a list of all Approved Users, square footage occupied by each and the rent payable by each. If any Approved User occupies any portion of the Premises as described herein, it is agreed that (i) the Approved User must comply with all provisions of this Amendment and the Google Sublease, and a default hereunder or thereunder by any Approved User shall be deemed a default by Subtenant under this Amendment and the Google Sublease; (ii) in no event shall any


7


use or occupancy of any portion of the Premises by any Approved User release or relieve Subtenant from any of its obligations under this Amendment and the Google Sublease; and (iii) in no event shall the occupancy of any portion of the Premises by any Approved User be deemed to create a landlord/tenant relationship between landlord and such Approved User, and, in all instances, Subtenant shall be considered the sole tenant under this Amendment and the Google Sublease notwithstanding the occupancy of any portion of the Premises by an Approved User.

        (iv) Subtenant (failing which Tenant) shall perform the obligations and cure the defaults of any subtenant of Subtenant or any Person in the Premises claiming by, through or under Subtenant (including any Approved User).

        (b) Subject to the following terms, Sections 15.2, 15.3 and 15.4 of the Lease shall be applicable to Subtenant and the Google Sublease, and references therein to Tenant shall also mean Subtenant, references therein to Lease shall also mean the Google Sublease and references therein to “Sublease” shall also mean a sub-sublease by Google:

        (i) Subtenant may make requests for consents or approvals or other submissions directly to Landlord and, in such case, will concurrently with its delivery to Landlord, deliver a duplicate to Tenant. Landlord may respond directly to Subtenant in connection with such requests and, in such case, if a written response is required, will concurrently with its delivery to Subtenant, deliver a duplicate to Tenant. Tenant and Subtenant hereby agree as between themselves, with respect to any Assignment or Sublease proposed by Subtenant, Landlord’s determination to grant or withhold consent shall be binding upon Tenant and any consent granted or withheld by Tenant in contradiction thereof shall be invalid and without effect; provided, however, that any proposed Sublease or Assignment by Subtenant which would otherwise require the consent of Landlord in addition to the consent of Sublandlord (x) that results from a “Change in Control” or (y) with respect to which Landlord shall have consented but has waived a material requirement set forth in the Lease applicable to all Assignments and/or Subleases (as applicable), such as those set forth in Section 15.4(h), 15.6 and 15.8 of the Lease, shall nonetheless be subject to the consent (or deemed consent) of Tenant. The provisions of the foregoing sentence are intended to be and shall be construed as an agreement between Tenant and Subtenant and shall not impose any obligation on Landlord in favor of Tenant or Subtenant or permit any defense or offset or other right on the part of Tenant in respect of Landlord.


8


        (ii) Tenant agrees to deliver simultaneously to Landlord and Subtenant any notice in which Tenant’s consent to a proposed Sublease or Assignment by Subtenant is granted or denied. If Tenant fails to respond to any request for consent to a proposed Assignment or Sublease (and to provide a concurrent copy to Landlord) within seven (7) business days following Subtenant’s delivery of such request, Subtenant shall have the right to provide Tenant with a second request for consent. Subtenant’s second request for consent must specifically state that Tenant’s failure to respond (and to concurrently deliver a copy of such response to Landlord) within a period of three (3) business days shall be deemed to be an approval of the second request for consent. If Tenant shall fail to so respond to such second notice (and to provide a concurrent copy of the Lease to Landlord) within such three (3) business day period the Assignment or Sublease for which Subtenant has requested consent shall be deemed to have been approved by Tenant.

        (iii) Subtenant shall not be obligated under Section 15.3 of the Lease to pay Excess Rents, it being agreed that the provision of Section 9 of the Sublease shall govern with respect to the amount of Excess Rent to be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord under the Google Sublease. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, rent received from Approved Users shall be subject to Section 9 of the Google Sublease.

        (c) Subject to the following terms, Sections 15.7(a), 15.7(b), 15.8 and 15.9 of the Lease shall be applicable to Subtenant and the Google Sublease, and references therein to Tenant shall also mean Subtenant, references therein to Lease shall also mean the Google Sublease and references therein to “Sublease” shall also mean a sub-sublease by Google:

        (i) A Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of Subtenant by reason of the consummation of an initial public equity offering of Subtenant, provided that, following the consummation of an initial public offering of Subtenant, a Change in Control will be deemed to have occurred if there shall be (x) a transfer of the ultimate beneficial ownership of fifty percent (50%), or more of the equity interests in Subtenant or of any class of equity interests in Subtenant, including, without limitation, by the issuance of additional shares or other equity interests in Subtenant, (y) a transfer of the right to receive fifty percent (50%) or more of any category of distributions made by Subtenant, or (z) a transfer of the right to direct the management of Subtenant, by contract or otherwise.

        (ii) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 15.7(a) to the contrary, the consent of Landlord or Tenant shall not be required with respect to:

(y) an assignment of Subtenant’s interest under the Google Sublease if the sole purpose and effect of such assignment is to change Subtenant’s name and/or domicile, (e.g., a reincorporation in another jurisdiction) (such transaction being referred to herein as a “Reincorporation”); provided that Subtenant will provide notice of such Reincorporation to Landlord and Tenant within ten (10) days following the effective date of such Reincorporation; and

(z) if Subtenant is a Public Company, transfers of the capital stock of Subtenant on a national securities exchange, unless such transfers constitute a Change in Control effected through concerted actions (and are otherwise not permitted under Section 15.7(b) below with respect to an Assignment to a Successor Entity).

        (iii) The reference in Section 15.7(a) of the Lease to Section 15.5 shall be disregarded.

1.9. Landlord’s Reserved Rights — Use of Additional Areas.

        (a) Section 17.1 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: “[Reserved.]”

        (b) Section 17.4 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

        “17.4 Use of Additional Areas. Subject to the provisions of Article 32, Landlord reserves the exclusive right to use any air space above the Buildings and the Property, the roof and exterior walls of the Buildings and the land beneath the Buildings; provided that such use shall not impede Tenant’s use of and access to the Premises other than to a de minimis extent.”

1.10. Destruction and Casualty — Termination Option.

        (a) Section 19.2 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

                “19.2 Termination Option. Landlord shall notify Tenant (with a copy to Subtenant) within sixty (60) days after the date of damage whether or not the requirements for repairs, reconstruction and restoration by Tenant


10


described in Section 19.3 are met. If such requirements are not met, Landlord shall have the option, exercisable within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage either to: (a) notify Tenant of Landlord’s election to repair such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect (unless terminated by Tenant as provided below), or (b) notify Tenant, and the subtenant under the Google Sublease, of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease as of the date of the damage. If such notice to terminate is given by Landlord, this Lease, and the Google Sublease (regardless of the Nondisturbance Agreement), shall terminate as of the date of such damage. If Landlord notifies Tenant of its intention to repair Casualty damages and Landlord reasonably estimates that such repairs cannot be completed within eighteen (18) months (plus any incremental time as may be required to restore any Non-Severable Material Alterations), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering fifteen (15) days’ written notice to Landlord, in which event the Lease, and the Google Sublease (regardless of the Nondisturbance Agreement), shall terminate. If pursuant to the above terms of this Section 19.2, Landlord notifies Tenant of Landlord’s intention to repair Casualty damages and this Lease and the Google Sublease are not terminated pursuant to the above terms of this Section 19.2, then Landlord shall repair, reconstruct and restore the Premises, including Non-Severable Material Alterations but excluding other Alterations and Tenant’s Property, with reasonable diligence, to the extent of available insurance proceeds, so that the same shall be reasonably comparable in quality, value and utility to the Premises immediately prior to such Casualty damage.”

        (b) With respect to Section 19.2, Section 20.1 and Section 20.4 of the Lease, in the event Tenant has the right to terminate the Lease:

        (i) Tenant (x) shall not exercise such right without the express written consent of Subtenant, and (y) shall promptly exercise such right upon the written direction of Subtenant to do so.

        (ii) Subtenant may notify Landlord directly of its intent to exercise or refrain from exercising the right to terminate the Lease, and, in such case, will concurrently with its delivery to Landlord, deliver a duplicate to Tenant. Subtenant’s determination to exercise or refrain from exercising shall govern, and any determination notified to Landlord by Tenant in contradiction thereof shall be invalid and without effect.

1.11. Destruction — Tenant Obligations.

        (a) With respect to Section 19.1(c) of the Lease, (i) the reference to “Alterations” shall not be construed to include Alterations designated as Non-Severable Material Alterations in accordance with Section 1.6(c)(ii) hereof; and (ii) Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or to replace the same other than as specifically set forth in Section 19.2.


11

                “19.3. Tenant Obligations. Subject to Section 19.2, if the Premises or the Buildings or any portion thereof are damaged by Casualty, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (subject to Landlord’s provision of proceeds from insurance it is required to maintain hereunder to the extent Landlord is required to make such proceeds available under Section 19.1), repair, reconstruct and restore the same promptly, with diligence and continuity and in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.2 and the requirements of Article 10 for Alterations; provided that (i) such repairs can be made under the laws and regulations of the federal, state and local governmental authorities having jurisdiction within twelve (12) months (plus any incremental time as may be required to restore any Non-Severable Material Alterations) after the date of such damage (or in the case of damage occurring during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, provided that such repairs can be made within ninety (90) days (plus any incremental time as may be required to restore any Non-Severable Material Alterations) after the date of such damage), (ii) such repairs are fully covered (except for any deductible) by the proceeds of insurance maintained by Landlord or Tenant, and (iii) the damage does not affect more than fifty percent (50%) of the assessed value of the Buildings. If Tenant is required to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises after any damage or destruction, Tenant shall be responsible at its own expense for the repair and replacement of Tenant’s Property and any Alterations which Tenant elects to replace (provided that if any of such Alterations are designated as Non-Severable Material Alterations in accordance with Section 1.6(c)(ii) of the Second Amendment, then Landlord shall make available to Tenant property insurance proceeds received in respect thereof). Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any statute or law that may be in effect at the time of the occurrence of any such damage or destruction, under which a lease is automatically terminated or a tenant is given the right to terminate a lease upon such an occurrence.”

1.12. Financial Statements.

        (a) Subtenant hereby agrees that:

        (i) within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of Subtenant’s first three (3) fiscal quarters, Subtenant will deliver to Landlord and Tenant, Subtenant’s unaudited quarterly financial statements (balance sheet, profit & loss statement and cash flow statement),
