2. Property Subleased

Sublandlord is subleasing to Subtenant the premises at 1250 Borregas Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94089.

 

3. Original Lease and Subsequent Amendments

A. This subtenancy is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Original Lease dated May 9, 2011 between D.R. Stephens, Landlord, and eGain Corporation, Tenant.

B. Further, none of eGain’s rights under the First Amendment between D.R. Stephens, Landlord, and eGain Corporation, Tenant, are forfeited.

C. The dates pertaining to eGain’s rent abatement and Tenant Improvements from Landlord are hereby amended to accommodate the six month sublease and are accordingly pushed out six months.

D. Subtenant will do nothing and will not fail to take any action that will create a breach by Sublandlord of any of the terms or conditions of the Original Lease.

E. Notwithstanding anything contained in this sublease to the contrary, Subtenant is not assuming any obligations under the Original Lease and, for the avoidance of doubt, is not liable or responsible (legally, financially or otherwise) for any acts or omissions of Sublandlord as Tenant under the Original Lease or their consequences.

F. Notwithstanding anything contained in this sublease to the contrary, Sublandlord shall have no right to access or use the subleased premises except as provided in Paragraph 13.

 

4. Term of Sublease

This sublease begins on August 5, 2015 and ends on February 4, 2016.

 

5. Rent

Base Rent: $32,851.50 per month based on $1.50 per square foot, payable on the first day of each month commencing August 1, 2015. Base Rent for the first month to be prorated for the 27 days of occupancy beginning August 5, 2015 in the amount of $28,612.60.


  5.1. Late Charges

Subtenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Subtenant to Landlord of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Sublandlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Sublease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Sublandlord by the terms of its lease with Landlord. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or other sum due from Subtenant shall not be received by Sublandlord or Sublandord’s designee within five (5) days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Subtenant, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Sublandlord will incur by reason of late payment by Subtenant. Notwithstanding of the foregoing, Sublandlord will not assess a late charge until Sublandlord has given written notice of such late payment for the first late payment in any twelve (12) month period and after Subtenant has not cured such late payment within three (3) days from receipt of such notice. No other notices will be required during the following twelve (12) months for a late charge to be incurred. Acceptance of such late charge be Sublandlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Sublandlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding Paragraph 4.1 or any other provision of the Original Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Sublandlord’s option, become due and payable quarterly in advance.

 

  5.2. Common Area Operating Expenses

Subtenant’s share of Common Area Operating Expenses: Subtenant will continue to pay the estimate based on the square footage formula used by Landlord to date but payment will be made to Sublandlord who will bill Subtenant.

The Landlord shall provide a true up of the actual Common Area Operating Expenses within 45 days of the end of Subtenant’s lease.

 

6. Security Deposit

Subtenant will deposit $32,851.50 with Sublandlord as security for Subtenant’s performance of this sublease with the execution of the sublease.

Otherwise, Sublandlord may deduct any amounts required to place the premises in good condition and to pay any sums due under the sublease.
