BUILDING LEASE

This Lease is made and entered into this 16th day of December, 2011, by and between Alexander Properties Company, a California limited partnership, (hereinafter “Landlord”) and five9, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter “Tenant”). For and in consideration of the rental and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth to be kept and performed by Tenant, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises herein described for the term, at the rental and subject to and upon all of the terms, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth.

1. PREMISES

Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises (the “Premises”) crosshatched on Exhibit A containing 46,414 rentable square feet known as Suite 400, located on the fourth floor of 4000 Executive Parkway, Building P (including all tenant improvements thereto, the “Building”), located at San Ramon, California 94583. The Building is part of a Complex containing the Building and two (2) other buildings (the “Complex”). The Complex, which contains 631,578 rentable square feet, the land on which the Complex is situated (the “Land”), the common areas of the Complex, any other improvements in the Complex and the personal property used by Landlord in the operation of the Complex (the “Personal Property”) are herein collectively called the “Project.” Landlord shall pay the cost of “Suite Improvements” (as such term is defined in the work letter attached hereto as Exhibit B, the “Work Letter”) and as shown on the attached Exhibit C.

2. TERM

2.1 Term. The term of this Lease shall commence on the “Commencement Date” hereinafter defined to be the earlier of the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant with all of the Suite Improvements Substantially Completed, as defined in Exhibit B, or the date Landlord would have completed the Premises and tendered the Premises to Tenant if Substantial Completion had not been delayed by the number of days specified in any and all Tenant Delay Notices given by Landlord as described in Exhibit B. The term of this Lease shall end on the date (the “Expiration Date”) that is the sixth (6th) year anniversary of the Commencement Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to this Lease.

2.2 Delay in Commencement. The Commencement Date is scheduled to occur on March 1, 2012 (the “Scheduled Commencement Date”), but if there are “Scheduled Commencement Adjustment Days” (referred to in Paragraph 25.9 of this Lease and Exhibit B), then the Scheduled Commencement Date shall be that date which is the same number of days after March 1, 2012 as the sum of the Scheduled Commencement Adjustment Days. If for any reason the Commencement Date does not occur on or before the Scheduled Commencement Date, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage thereby nor shall such inability affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder. If the Commencement Date has not occurred

within sixty (60) days after the Scheduled Commencement Date, Tenant at its option, to be exercised by giving Landlord written notice within thirty (30) days after the end of such sixty (60) day period, may terminate this Lease and, upon Landlord’s return of any monies previously deposited by Tenant, the parties shall have no further rights or liabilities toward each other.

2.3 Acknowledgment of Commencement Date. Upon determination of the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a written acknowledgment of the Commencement Date and Expiration Date in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.

3. RENT

3.1 Base Rent. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly as base rent (“Base Rent”) for the Premises in advance on the Commencement Date and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter during the term of this Lease without deduction, offset, prior notice or demand, in lawful money of the United States of America, the sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY-THREE AND 67/100 DOLLARS ($100,563.67). For any prorations of Base Rent due to changes in the Premises on a day other than the first or last day of the month, the portion of Base Rent on a square foot basis associated with an increase or decrease in the size of the Premises shall be calculated by multiplying the number of days that the space was part of the Premises by the daily Base Rent defined to be the monthly Base Rent per square foot for said space divided by thirty (30). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Base Rent shall be abated for the initial twelve (12) full calendar months of the term of this Lease.

On or before the date that is three (3) business days after the date this Lease is fully executed by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY-THREE AND 67/100 DOLLARS ($100,563.67) to be applied against Base Rent when it becomes due.

3.2 Adjustments to Base Rent. Intentionally Deleted

3.3 Amounts Constituting Rent. All amounts payable or reimbursable by Tenant under this Lease, including late charges and interest, “Operating Cost Payments” (as defined in Paragraph 5), and amounts payable or reimbursable under the Work Letter and the other Exhibits hereto, shall constitute “Rent” and be payable and recoverable as such. Base Rent is due and payable as provided in Paragraph 3.1—“Base Rent”, Operating Cost Payments are due and payable as provided in Paragraph 5.3—“Notice and Payment”, and all other Rent payable to Landlord on demand under the terms of this Lease, unless otherwise set forth herein, shall be payable within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord of the amounts due. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all Rent shall be paid to Landlord without deduction or offset in lawful money of the United States of America at the address for notices or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.

4. SECURITY DEPOSIT

Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pursuant to the terms and conditions of Paragraph 25.20, provide Landlord with a Letter of Credit in the amount of SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($700,000.00) as Security. At such time that Tenant is relieved of its obligation to post the Letter of Credit Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY-THREE AND 67/100 DOLLARS ($100,563.67) as a Security Deposit (the “Security Deposit”). The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant during the term hereof. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including the provisions relating to the payment of any Rent, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit to cure such default or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of said deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount; Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) upon the expiration of the Lease term and Tenant’s vacating the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord may elect in its reasonable discretion to retain a portion of the Security Deposit in an amount composed of any or all of the following: (i) any unpaid amounts owed to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, (ii) the cost of any damage (excluding normal wear and tear or damage resulting from the approved installation of wall hangings by Landlord) to the Premises, (iii) the costs of removing any personal property refuse or debris left in the Premises at the expiration of the Lease, and (iv) any sums underpaid by Tenant with respect to Operating Costs for the calendar year in which the Lease ends under Paragraph 5 if Landlord determines there will be an increase in Operating Expenses for said calendar year. In the event of termination of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to Landlord’s successor-in-interest and provided that such successor-in-interest agrees in writing to assume the obligations of Landlord under this Lease, Landlord shall be released from liability for the return of the Security Deposit or the accounting therefor. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of any Regulations, now or hereafter in force, which restricts the amount or types of claim that a landlord may make upon a security deposit or imposes upon a landlord (or its successors) any obligation with respect to the handling or return of security deposits.

5.2 Tenant’s Share. If Operating Costs during any calendar year following the Base Year exceed the rentable square footage of the Complex multiplied by $11.80 (the “Expense Stop”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord a sum which is equal to “Tenant’s Share” of such excess (“Operating Cost Payment”). “Tenant’s Share” means 7.35%, which is calculated by dividing the rentable square footage of the Premises by the rentable square footage of the Complex as such rentable square footages are set forth in Paragraph 1, and multiplying such number by 100.

5.3 Notice and Payment. Landlord shall, at or as soon as practicable after the start of each calendar year subsequent to the Base Year (but no later than April 30th), provide Tenant with a Statement (the “Statement”) of the amount of the Operating Cost Payment for the preceding calendar year, and the amount of any payment due from Tenant to Landlord or from Landlord to Tenant, taking into account any payments made by Tenant for such preceding calendar year Operating Cost Payment. In addition, Statement shall include an amount which Landlord estimates will be Tenant’s Operating Cost Payment for the current calendar year, and one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount thereof shall be added to the monthly Base Rent payments required to be made by Tenant in such year. If the amounts Tenant has paid during the year towards the current year’s Operating Cost Payment is less than or exceeds the amount required using said one-twelfth (1/12th) addition to Base Rent starting with the first month of the calendar year covered by such statement, then within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, Tenant shall pay in cash any sums owed Landlord or, if applicable, Tenant shall receive a credit against any rent next accruing for any sum owed Tenant.

In no event will Tenant be entitled to receive the benefit of a reduction in Operating Costs below the Expense Stop costs.

For any partial calendar year at the termination of this Lease, Tenant’s Share of any increases in Operating Costs for such year over the Expense Stop shall be prorated on the basis of a 365-day year by computing Tenant’s Share of the increases in Operating Costs for the entire year and then prorating such amount for the number of days this Lease was in effect during such year. Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Lease, and within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s statement regarding the determination of increases in Operating Costs for the calendar year in which this Lease expires or terminates, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or Landlord shall pay to Tenant, as the case may be, an amount equal to the difference between Tenant’s Share of the increases in Operating Costs for such year (as prorated) and the amount previously paid by Tenant toward such increases. This provision shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease provided that Landlord shall have no right to collect any deficiency in Tenant’s Operating Cost Payment more than three hundred sixty-five (365) days following the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

5.4 Additional Taxes. Tenant shall pay as a component of Operating Costs, Tenant’s Share of any and all taxes payable by Landlord, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto (i) upon, allocable to or measured by the area of the Building, (ii) upon all or any portion of the Rent payable hereunder and under other leases of space in the Building, including any gross receipts tax or excise tax levied with respect to the receipt of such Rent, or (iii) upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy of the Building or an portion thereof; provided that such taxes are applicable to the term of this Lease and not otherwise excluded from Operating Costs.

5.5 Tenant’s Right to Audit. The annual Statement of Operating Costs for the preceding year shall be provided by Landlord on or before April 30th of each calendar year after the Base Year of the Lease term. Within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Statement, Tenant shall be entitled, upon ten (10) days prior written notice (“Inspection Notice”) and during normal business hours, at Landlord’s office or such other place as Landlord shall reasonably designate, to inspect and examine those books and records of Landlord relating to the determination of Operating Costs for only the immediately preceding calendar year. Any third party engaged by Tenant to inspect or examine the books and records shall be a certified public accountant from a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm and such accountant shall not be compensated on a contingency fee or similar basis. Should Tenant elect to inspect such records, Tenant’s inspection shall be completed and the results thereof submitted to Landlord no later than two (2) months after Tenant’s notification to Landlord of its intent to inspect Landlord’s books and records. Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to inspect Landlord’s books and records if Tenant fails to timely deliver the Inspection Notice, or fails to timely complete the inspection (unless Landlord was the cause of the delay). If, after inspection and examination of such books and records, Tenant disputes the amounts of Operating Costs charged by Landlord, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord, request an independent audit of such books and records. The independent audit of the books and records shall be conducted by a certified public accountant (“CPA”) acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant. If, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice requesting an audit, Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the CPA to conduct such audit, then Landlord may designate a nationally recognized accounting firm not then employed by Landlord or Tenant to conduct such audit. The audit shall be limited to the determination of the amount of Operating Costs for the subject calendar year. If the audit discloses that the amount of Operating Costs billed to Tenant was incorrect, the appropriate party shall pay to the other party the deficiency or overpayment, as applicable. All costs and expenses of the audit shall be paid by Tenant unless the audit shows that Landlord overstated Operating Costs for the subject calendar year by more than five percent (5%), in which case Landlord shall pay all costs and expenses of the audit (not to exceed $10,000.00). Tenant and Tenant’s representatives shall keep any information gained from such audit confidential and shall not disclose it to any other party. The exercise by Tenant of its audit rights hereunder shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to timely pay all sums due hereunder, including, without limitation, the disputed Operating Costs.

6. USE

6.1 Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant for general and executive office purposes and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

6.2 Suitability. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises or the Building or with respect to the suitability of either for the conduct of Tenant’s business, nor has Landlord agreed to undertake any modification, alteration or improvement to the Premises except as provided in the Work Letter. Except with respect to the latent defects in the Suite Improvements (as defined in Exhibit B), the taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such time in satisfactory condition unless within ten (10) days after such date Tenant shall give Landlord written notice specifying in reasonable detail the respects in which the Premises or the Building were not in satisfactory condition.

6.3 Access. Tenant shall have access to the Premises and the parking granted hereunder twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week.

6.4 Uses Prohibited.

(a) Tenant shall not do nor permit anything to be done in or about the Premises nor bring or keep anything therein which will in any way increase the existing rate or affect any fire or other insurance upon the Building or any of its contents, or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering said Building or any part thereof or any of its contents, nor shall Tenant sell or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about said Premises any articles which may be prohibited by a standard form policy of fire insurance.

(b) Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building, or injure or annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in or about the Premises.

The aforesaid insurance shall name Landlord and its partners, property manager, and mortgagees as an additional insured. Said insurance shall be with companies having a rating of not less than A-, XI in “Best’s Insurance Guide”.

This mutual waiver is in addition to any other waiver or release contained in this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall each have their insurance policies issued in such form as to waive any right of subrogation which might otherwise exist.

13. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

13.1 Landlord’s Duty to Repair. If all or a substantial part of the Premises are rendered untenantable or inaccessible by damage to all or any part of the Project from fire or other casualty then, unless either party elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to Paragraphs 13.2 or 13.3, Landlord shall, at its expense, use its commercially reasonable efforts to repair and restore the Premises and/or access thereto, as the case may be, to substantially their former condition to the extent permitted by the then applicable codes, laws and regulations; provided, however, that Tenant rather than Landlord shall be obligated at Tenant’s expense to repair or replace Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures and any items or improvements that are required to be covered by Tenant’s insurance under Paragraph 12.1(b).

If Landlord is required or elects to repair damage to the Premises and/or access thereto, this Lease shall continue in effect but Tenant’s Base Rent and Operating Cost Payments from the date of the casualty through the date of substantial completion of the repair shall be abated by a proportionate amount based on the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using by reason of such damage or its repair; provided, however, that if the casualty is the result of the willful misconduct or negligence of Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives, there will be no such rental abatement. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business or property arising from fire or other casualty or by reason of any repairs to any part of the Project made necessary by such casualty.

13.2 Landlord’s Right to Terminate. In the event of a casualty to the Project, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, effective as of the last day of the calendar month in which such election is made, under the following circumstances:

(a) Where, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the damage cannot be substantially repaired and restored under applicable laws and governmental regulations within one (1) year after the date of the casualty;

(b) Where, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, adequate proceeds are not, for any reason, made available to Landlord from Landlord’s insurance policies to make the required repairs;

(c) Where the Project is damaged or destroyed to the extent that the cost to repair and restore the Project exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost of the Project, whether or not the Premises are damaged or destroyed; or

(d) Where the damage occurs within the last twelve (12) months of the term of the Lease.

If any of the circumstances described in this Paragraph 13.2 arise, Landlord must notify Tenant in writing of that fact within ninety (90) days of the date of the casualty and in such notice Landlord must also advise Tenant whether Landlord has elected to terminate the Lease.

13.3 Tenant’s Right to Terminate. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if all or a substantial part of the Premises are rendered untenantable or inaccessible by damage to all or any part of the Project from fire or other casualty, provided that such casualty is not the result of the willful misconduct or negligence of Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives, but only under the following circumstances:

(a) Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease if Landlord had the right under Paragraph 13.2 to terminate this Lease but did not elect to so terminate and Landlord failed to commence the required repair within ninety (90) days after the date it received proceeds to commence such repair. In such event, Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of the casualty by notice to Landlord given before the earlier of the date on which Landlord commences such repair or ten (10) days after the expiration of such ninety (90)-day period; or

(b) Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease in the circumstance described in Subparagraph 13.2(a). In such event, Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of the casualty by notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 13.2.

13.4 Exclusive Rights. Landlord and Tenant each hereby agree that, notwithstanding any law to the contrary that may now or hereafter exist, neither party shall have any right to terminate this Lease in the event of any damage or destruction under any circumstances other than as provided in Paragraphs 13.2 and 13.3.

14. CONDEMNATION

If all or a material portion of the Premises shall be taken or appropriated for public or quasi-public use by right of eminent domain with or without litigation or transferred by agreement in connection with such public or quasi-public use, either party hereto shall have the right at its option, exercisable within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of such taking, to terminate this Lease as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority, provided, however, that before Tenant may terminate this Lease by reason of taking or appropriation as provided hereinabove, such taking or appropriation shall be of such an extent and nature as to substantially handicap, impede or impair Tenant’s use of the Premises. If any part of the Building other than the Premises shall be so taken or appropriated, Landlord shall have the right at its option to terminate this Lease. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any award which may be made in such taking or condemnation, together with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to the same or any part thereof; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require Tenant to assign to Landlord any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and/or for Tenant’s unamortized cost of leasehold improvements, so long as such award to Tenant does not decrease the value of the award that would otherwise be made to Landlord in such taking or condemnation. In the event of a partial taking which does not result in a termination of this Lease, rent shall be abated in the proportion which the part of Premises so made unusable bears to the rented area of the Premises immediately prior to the taking, and Landlord, at Landlord’s cost, shall restore the Premises remaining to an architectural whole with the Base Rent reduced in proportion to what the area taken bears to the Premises prior to the taking. No temporary

taking of the Premises and/or of Tenant’s rights therein or under this Lease shall give Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or to any abatement of Rent thereunder. Any award made to Tenant by reason of any such temporary taking where Landlord does not terminate this Lease shall belong entirely to Tenant so long as said award does not diminish Landlord’s award.

15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

15.1 Landlord’s Consent Required. Except as provided in Paragraph 15.10, Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest therein (each a “Transfer”), and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord and any attempt to do so without such consent being first had and obtained shall be wholly void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease.

15.2 Reasonable Consent.

(a) If Tenant complies with the following conditions, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the subletting of the Premises or any portion thereof or the assignment of this Lease. Tenant shall submit in writing to Landlord (i) the name and legal composition of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (ii) the nature of the business proposed to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of the proposed sublease; (iv) such reasonable financial information as Landlord may request concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee; and (v) the form of the proposed sublease or assignment. Within ten (10) business days after Landlord receives all such information it shall notify Tenant whether it approves such assignment or subletting or if it elects to proceed under Paragraph 15.8 below.

(b) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, among other circumstances for which Landlord could reasonably withhold its consent to a sublease or assignment, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent where (i) the assignee or subtenant (a “Transferee”) does not itself occupy the entire portion of the Premises assigned or sublet, (ii) Landlord reasonably disapproves of the Transferee’s reputation or the character of the business to be conducted by the Transferee at the Premises, (iii) the Transferee’s business entails the operation of a call center, or (iv) the assignment or subletting would materially increase the burden on the Building services or the number of people occupying the Premises.

15.3 Excess Consideration. If Landlord consents to the assignment or sublease, Landlord shall be entitled to receive as additional Rent hereunder fifty percent (50%) of any consideration paid by the Transferee for the assignment or sublease and, in the case of a sublease, fifty percent (50%) of the excess of the rent and other consideration payable by the subtenant over the amount of Base Rent and Operating Cost Payments payable hereunder applicable to the subleased space.

15.4 No Release of Tenant. No consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, whether occurring before or after such consent, assignment or subletting, and the Transferee shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the payment of Rent (or that portion applicable to the subleased space in the case of a sublease) and for the performance of all other terms and provisions of the Lease. The consent by

Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant and any such Transferee from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s express written consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment, subletting or other transfer. Consent to one assignment, subletting or other transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting or other transfer.

15.5 Attorneys’ Fees. Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with reviewing any proposed assignment or sublease (not to exceed $3,000.00).

15.6 Transfer of Ownership Interest. Intentionally Deleted

15.7 Effectiveness of Transfer. No permitted assignment by Tenant shall be effective until Landlord has received a counterpart of the assignment and an instrument in which the assignee assumes all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease arising on or after the date of assignment. The voluntary, involuntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation by Landlord and Tenant, shall not work a merger, and any such surrender or cancellation shall, at the option of Landlord, either terminate all or any existing subleases or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subleases.

15.8 Landlord’s Right to Space. Notwithstanding any of the above provisions of this Paragraph 15 to the contrary, if Tenant notifies Landlord that it desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises, Landlord, in lieu of consenting to such assignment or sublease, may elect to terminate this Lease (in the case of an assignment or a sublease of the entire Premises), or to terminate this Lease as it relates to the space proposed to be subleased by Tenant (in the case of a sublease of less than the entire Premises). In such event, this Lease (or portion thereof) will terminate on the date the assignment or sublease was to be effective, and Landlord may lease such space to any party, including the prospective Transferee identified by Tenant.

15.9 No Net Profits Leases. Intentionally Deleted

15.10 Permitted Assignment or Sublease. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Paragraph 15, Tenant, so long as Tenant notifies Landlord in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to any such sublease or assignment and so long as Tenant provides Landlord with a fully executed copy of any such sublease or assignment, shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s consent to an assignment of the Lease or sublease of the Premises to an entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant or which succeeds to substantially all of Tenant’s assets and business by merger, reorganization or purchase. All other such subparagraphs of Paragraph 15 shall apply to this Paragraph 15.10 and shall remain in effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any mortgagee or trustee of a First Mortgage or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its First Mortgage or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such First Mortgage or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said First Mortgage or ground lease or the date of the recording thereof.

16.2 Junior Liens. Tenant hereby agrees that this Lease shall be superior to the lien of any present or future mortgages or deeds of trust that are junior to any First Mortgage.

Not more than once in any twelve (12) month period during the Lease term, if this Lease is subordinate to a First Mortgage or a ground lease, Tenant will execute and deliver to Landlord within ten (10) days of written demand from Landlord and without charge therefor, such further commercially reasonable instruments evidencing the subordination of this Lease to any First Mortgage or ground lease, or the subordination of any First Mortgage or ground lease to such Lease, pursuant to Paragraph 16.1, as the case may be, as may be required by Landlord.

16.4 Attornment. If this Project is transferred to any purchaser pursuant to or in lieu of proceedings to enforce any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease (collectively, “Encumbrance”), and this Lease is either prior to such Encumbrance or the mortgagee or trustee of a First Mortgage or ground lessor of the Project elects to have this Lease survive such transfer, Tenant shall attorn to such purchaser and recognize such purchaser as the landlord under this Lease, and this Lease shall continue as a direct lease between such purchaser and Tenant.

17. QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant paying the Rent and performing its other covenants and conditions under this Lease, Tenant shall have the quiet possession of the Premises for the term of this Lease as against any persons or entities lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease and of any Encumbrance.

18. DEFAULT; REMEDIES

(a) Tenant fails to pay Rent when due and such failure continues for five (5) days after Landlord’s written notice that the same is due;

(b) Tenant fails to deliver any subordination agreement requested by Landlord within the period described in Paragraph 16 and such failure continues for five (5) days after Landlord’s second written notice that the same is due;

(c) Tenant fails to deliver any estoppel certificate requested by Landlord within the period described in Paragraph 22 and such failure continues for five (5) days after Landlord’s second written notice that the same is due;

(d) Tenant Transfers or attempts to Transfer this Lease without complying with the provisions of Paragraph 15;

(e) Tenant fails to observe and perform any other provision of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, where such failure continues for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within said twenty (20) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall within such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion;

(f) Tenant abandons the Premises and fails to pay Rent; or

(g) The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Tenant of a petition seeking relief under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.

18.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, at any time thereafter exercise the following remedies, which shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies now or hereafter available to Landlord at law or in equity:

(a) Maintain this Lease in full force and effect and recover Rent as it becomes due, without terminating Tenant’s right to possession irrespective of whether Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In the event Landlord elects not to terminate the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to attempt to relet the Premises at such rent and upon such conditions and for such a term, and to do all acts necessary to maintain or preserve the Premises as Landlord deems reasonable and necessary without being deemed to have elected to terminate the Lease, including removal of all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. In the event any such reletting occurs, rents received by Landlord from such subletting shall be applied (i) first, to the payment of the costs of maintaining, preserving, altering and preparing the Premises for subletting and other costs of subletting, including but not limited to

brokers’ commissions, attorneys’ fees and expenses of removal of Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures, alterations and leasehold improvements; (ii) second, to the payment of Rent then due and payable; (iii) third, to the payment of future Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder; and (iv) fourth, the balance, if any, shall be paid to Tenant upon (but not before) expiration of the term of this Lease. If the rents received by Landlord from such subletting, after application as provided above, are insufficient in any month to pay the Rent due and payable hereunder for such month, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord monthly upon demand. Notwithstanding any such subletting for Tenant’s account without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter, by written notice to Tenant, elect to terminate this Lease by virtue of a previous Event of Default.

(b) Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any time by written notice to Tenant, in which case Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. Tenant expressly acknowledges that in the absence of such written notice from Landlord, no other act of Landlord, including, but not limited to, its re-entry into the Premises, its efforts to relet the Premises, its reletting of the Premises for Tenant’s account, its storage of Tenant’s personal property and trade fixtures, its acceptance of keys to the Premises from Tenant or its exercise of any other rights and remedies under this Paragraph 18.2, shall constitute an acceptance of Tenant’s surrender of the Premises or constitute a termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises. If Landlord terminates Tenant’s right to possession in writing, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages as provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.2 or any other applicable existing or future law, ordinance or regulation providing for recovery of damages for such breach, including but not limited to the following:

(1) The reasonable cost of recovering the Premises; plus

(2) The reasonable cost of removing Tenant’s alterations, trade fixtures and Above-Standard Improvements; plus

(3) All unpaid Rent due or earned hereunder prior to the date of termination, less the proceeds of any reletting or any rental received from subtenants prior to the date of termination applied as provided in subparagraph (a) above, together with interest at the Default Rate, on such sums from the date such Rent is due and payable until the date of the award of damages; plus

(4) The amount by which the Rent which would be payable by Tenant hereunder, including Operating Cost Payments as reasonably estimated by Landlord, from the date of termination until the date of the award of damages exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, together with interest at the Default Rate on such sums from the date such Rent is due and payable until the date of the award of damages; plus

(5) The amount by which the Rent which would be payable by Tenant hereunder, including Operating Cost Payments, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, for the remainder of the then term, after the date of the award of damages exceeds the amount of such rental loss as Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, discounted at the discount rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for member banks at the time of the award plus one percent (1%); plus

(6) Such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Landlord may enter the Premises without terminating this Lease and remove all Tenant’s personal property, and trade fixtures from the Premises. If Landlord removes such property from the Premises and stores it at Tenant’s risk and expense, and if Tenant fails to pay the cost of such removal and storage after written demand therefor and/or to pay any Rent then due, after the property has been stored for a period of thirty (30) days or more Landlord may sell such property at public or private sale, in the manner and at such times and places as Landlord in its sole discretion deems commercially reasonable following reasonable notice to Tenant of the time and place of such sale. The proceeds of any such sale shall be applied first to the payment of the expenses for removal and storage of the property, preparation for and conducting such sale, and attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, and the balance shall be applied as provided in subparagraph (a) above.

Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Landlord’s reentering and taking possession of the Premises or removing and storing Tenant’s personal property pursuant to this Paragraph, and Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage resulting from any such act. No reentry by Landlord shall constitute or be construed as a forcible entry by Landlord.

(d) Landlord may cure the Event of Default at Tenant’s expense. If Landlord pays any sum or incurs any expense in curing the Event of Default, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount of such payment or expense with interest at the Default Rate from the date the sum is paid or the expense is incurred until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant.

18.3 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent or Operating Costs Payments is not received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days of the date such amount shall be due, or if any installment of other Rent is not received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee on or before the date such amount shall be due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord 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 Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

18.4 Interest. In addition to the late charges referred to above which are intended to defray Landlord’s costs resulting from late payments, any late payment of Rent shall, at Landlord’s option, bear interest from the due date of any such payment to the date the same is paid at the Default Rate, provided, however, that if Landlord imposes a late charge on any overdue payment, such overdue payment shall not begin to bear interest under this Paragraph 18.4 until thirty (30) days after the due date thereof.

18.5 Default by Landlord.

(a) Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor of the Project (each a “Holder”) provided that the name and address has been furnished to Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 25.14, specifying that Landlord has failed to perform such obligations; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion (“Landlord Default”).

(b) In the event of a Landlord Default, Tenant, at its option, without further notice or demand, shall have the right to any one or more of the following remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law or in equity or elsewhere herein:

(1) to pursue the remedy of specific performance; and

(2) to seek money damages for loss arising from Landlord’s failure to discharge its obligations under the Lease.

(c) Nothing in Paragraph 18.5(b) shall relieve Landlord from its obligations hereunder, nor shall Paragraph 18.5(b) be construed to obligate Tenant to perform Landlord’s repair obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an emergency, Tenant may give Landlord such shorter notice as is practicable under the circumstances, and if Landlord fails to make such repairs immediately, Tenant may immediately undertake such repairs and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its actual costs within thirty (30) days from receipt of invoices for any such repair.

19. PARKING

Tenant and Tenant’s employees, invitees and customers shall have the right to use the parking areas of the Building at a ratio of three (3) spaces per 1,000 square feet of the Premises and subject to such regulations and charges as Landlord shall reasonably adopt from time to time, and subject to the right of Landlord to restrict the use by Tenant and Tenant’s Representatives when in the reasonable judgment of Landlord such use is excessive for the parking area in relationship to the reasonable use required by other Tenants. If Landlord becomes obligated under applicable laws or regulations or any other directive of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority to pay or assess fees or charges for parking in the Building’s parking area, Tenant shall pay such amounts to Landlord as additional Rent.

21. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.

Tenant agrees to give any Holder, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of written notice delivered to Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 25.14) of the address of such Holder. If Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time period set forth in Paragraph 18.5 the Holder shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be reasonably necessary to cure such default (including the time necessary to foreclose or otherwise terminate its Encumbrance, if necessary to effect such cure), and this Lease shall not be terminated so long as such remedies are being diligently pursued.

22. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.

(a) Upon ten (10) days’ written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, in form provided by or satisfactory to Landlord, a commercially reasonable certificate stating that this Lease is in full force and effect, describing any amendments or modifications hereto, acknowledging that this Lease is subordinate or prior, as the case may be, to any Encumbrance and stating any other information Landlord may reasonably request, including the term of this Lease, the monthly Base Rent, the estimated Operating Cost Payments, the date to which Rent has been paid, the amount of any security deposit or prepaid Rent, whether either party hereto is in default under the terms of the Lease, whether Landlord has completed its construction obligations hereunder and any other information reasonably requested by Landlord. Any person or entity purchasing, acquiring an interest in or extending financing with respect to the Project shall be entitled to rely upon any such certificate.

(b) If Landlord desires to finance or refinance the Building, or any part thereof, Tenant hereby agrees to deliver to any lender designated by Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as may be reasonably required by such lender unless Tenant’s financial statements are publically available. Such statements shall include the past three years’ financial statements of Tenant. All such financial statements shall be received by Landlord and its agents and lenders in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, upon ten (10) days’ written notice from Tenant, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a commercially reasonable certificate containing reasonably requested factual statements executed by Landlord in favor of Tenant or any party extending credit to Tenant.

23. SURRENDER, HOLDING OVER

23.1 Surrender. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in its condition on the Commencement Date, except for reasonable wear and tear and damage from casualty or condemnation; provided, however, that prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease Tenant shall remove from the Premises all Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures, alterations and other Above-Standard Improvements that Tenant has the right or is required by Landlord to remove under the provisions of this Lease. To the extent installed by Tenant, Tenant shall also be responsible for removal of all telephone cables and wires, CRT, data and telephone equipment, and any other form of cabling in the Premises. If any of such removal is not

completed at the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord may remove the same at Tenant’s expense. Any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal shall be repaired promptly by Tenant or, if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may do so at Tenant’s expense, in which event Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for such expenses together with interest at the Default rate until so paid. Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph 23.1 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s possession, Tenant shall surrender all keys to the Premises or any other part of the Building and shall make known to Landlord the combination of locks on all safes, cabinets and vaults that may be located in the Premises.

23.2 Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant’s continued possession shall be on the basis of a tenancy at the sufferance of Landlord, and Tenant shall continue to comply with or perform all the terms and obligations of the Tenant under this Lease, except that the Base Rent during Tenant’s holding over shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly Base Rent payable in the last month prior to the termination or expiration hereof. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, liability, damages, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs of defending the same, incurred by Landlord and arising directly from Tenant’s failure to timely surrender the Premises, including Landlord’s damages as a result of such prospective tenant rescinding or refusing to enter into the prospective lease of the Premises by reason of such failure to timely surrender the Premises; but in no event shall Tenant be liable for indirect or consequential damages.

24. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Tenant shall not (either with or without negligence) cause or permit the escape, disposal or release of Hazardous Materials (as defined below) in violation of any Legal Requirements. Tenant shall not allow the storage or use of such substances or materials in violation of any Legal Requirement the storage and use of such substances or materials, nor allow to be brought into the Project any such materials or substances except to use in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business, and then only after written notice is given to Landlord of the identity of such substances or materials. “Hazardous Materials” means any substances, materials or wastes currently or in the future deemed defined in any Legal Requirement as “hazardous substance”, “toxic substances”, “contaminants”, “pollutants” or words of similar import. For the avoidance of doubt, Hazardous Materials shall include those described in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., any applicable state or local laws and the regulations adopted under these acts. If any lender or governmental agency shall ever notify Tenant that such lender or governmental agency requires testing to ascertain whether or not there has been any release of Hazardous Materials on account of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, then Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of the same, and the reasonable costs thereof shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord upon demand as additional charges if such requirement applies to the Premises. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter the Premises at any reasonable time to perform any required testing, to confirm Tenant’s compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph, and to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph if Tenant has failed to do so. In addition, Tenant shall execute affidavits, representations and the like from time to time (but not more often than once every twelve (12) months) at Landlord’s request concerning Tenant’s actual knowledge regarding the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Premises. In all events, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord in the manner elsewhere provided in

this Lease from any release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises occurring while Tenant is in possession, or elsewhere if caused by Tenant or persons acting under Tenant. The within covenants shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the lease term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to use Hazardous Materials customarily used in the ordinary course of office work.

24.1 Landlord’s Warranty/Hazardous Materials. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that Landlord has no knowledge and has received no notice of any Hazardous Materials; neither the Premises, the Common Areas, the Building or the Complex is contaminated with or contains any Hazardous Materials or materials as of the Commencement Date. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, proceedings, damages, causes of action, liability, costs of expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising as a result of any Hazardous Materials which exist within the Complex, Common Areas, Building or Premises before or after the Commencement Date which are not brought onto the Premises, Building or Complex by Tenant.

25. MISCELLANEOUS

25.1 Attornment. Upon any transfer by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or the Building (other than a transfer for security purposes only), Tenant agrees to attorn to any transferee or assignee of Landlord, provided that such transferee assumes in writing the obligations of Landlord under this Lease.

25.2 Captions; Attachments; Defined Terms

(a) The captions of the paragraphs of this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to be relevant in resolving any question of interpretation or construction of any paragraph of this Lease. The provisions of this Lease shall be construed in accordance with the fair meaning of the language used and shall not be strictly construed against either party. When required by the contents of this Lease, the singular includes the plural. Wherever the term “including” is used in this Lease, it shall be interpreted as meaning “including, but not limited to,” the matter or matters thereafter enumerated.

(b) Exhibits attached hereto, and addenda and schedules initialed by the parties, are deemed to constitute part of this Lease and are incorporated herein.

(c) The words “Landlord” and “Tenant” as used herein, shall include the plural as well as the singular.

The obligations of this Lease as to a Tenant which consists of husband and wife shall extend individually to their sole and separate property as well as community property.

25.3 Entire Agreement. This Lease along with any exhibits and attachments hereto constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant relative to the Premises, and this Lease and the exhibits and attachments may be altered, amended or revoked only by instrument in writing signed by both Landlord and Tenant.

25.4 Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease shall, to any extent, be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

25.5 Costs of Suit

(a) If Tenant or Landlord brings any action for the enforcement or interpretation of this Lease, including any suit by Landlord for the recovery of Rent or possession of the Premises, the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party a reasonable sum for attorneys’ fees. The “prevailing party” will be determined by the court before whom the action was brought based upon an assessment of which party’s major arguments or positions taken in the suit or proceeding could fairly be said to have prevailed over the other party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues in the court’s decision.

(b) Should Landlord, without fault on Landlord’s part, be made a party to any litigation instituted by Tenant or by any third party against Tenant, or by or against any person holding under or using the Premises by license of Tenant, or for the foreclosure of any lien for labor or material furnished to or for Tenant or any such other person or otherwise arising out of or resulting from any act or transaction of Tenant or of any such other person, Tenant covenants to save and hold Landlord harmless from any judgment rendered against Landlord or the Premises or any part thereof, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in or in connection with such litigation.

25.6 Time; Joint and Several Liability. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and every provision hereof, except as to the conditions relating to the delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. All the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease to be performed by either party, if such party shall consist of more than one person or organization, shall be deemed to be joint and several, and all rights and remedies of the parties shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other remedy at law or in equity.

25.7 Binding Effect; Choice of Law. The parties hereto agree that all provisions hereof are to be construed as both covenants and conditions as though the words imparting such covenants and conditions were used in each separate paragraph hereof. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting assignment or subletting by Tenant, all of the provisions hereof shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

25.8 Waiver. No covenant, term or condition or the breach thereof shall be deemed waived, except by written consent of the party against whom the waiver is claimed, and any waiver or breach of any covenant, term or condition shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant,

term or condition. Acceptance by Landlord of any performance by Tenant after the time the same shall have become due shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of the breach or default of any covenant, term or condition unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Landlord in writing.

25.9 Force Majeure. In the event Landlord or Tenant is delayed, interrupted or prevented from performing any of its obligations under this Lease (except the obligation to pay money to the other party hereto), including Landlord’s obligations under the Work Letter, and such delay, interruption or prevention is due to fire, act of God, governmental act, strike, labor dispute, unavailability of materials or any other cause outside the reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant, as applicable (each a “Force Majeure Event”), then the time for performance of the affected obligations of Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay, interruption or prevention. With respect to obligations of Landlord or Tenant required to be performed prior to the Commencement Date, each day of delay under this Paragraph 25.9 shall result in one (1) Scheduled Commencement Adjustment Day.

25.10 Landlord’s Liability. The term “Landlord”, as used in this Lease, shall mean only the owner or owners of the Project at the time in question. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Lease, the liability of Landlord for its obligations under this Lease is limited solely to Landlord’s interest in the Project as the same may from time to time be encumbered, and no personal liability shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against any other assets of Landlord or against Landlord’s stockholders, directors, officers or partners on account of any of Landlord’s obligations or actions under this Lease. In addition, in the event of any conveyance of title to the Building or the Project, then from and after the date of such conveyance, Landlord shall be relieved of all liability with respect to Landlord’s obligations to be performed under this Lease after the date of such conveyance. Upon any conveyance of title to the Building or the Project, the grantee or transferee, by accepting such conveyance, shall be deemed to have assumed Landlord’s obligations to be performed under this Lease from and after the date of transfer, subject to the limitations on liability set forth above in this Paragraph 25.10. In no event will Landlord or Tenant be liable under this Lease for consequential or indirect damages or loss of profits.

25.11 Consents and Approvals. Wherever the consent, approval, judgment or determination of Landlord is required or permitted under this Lease, Landlord may exercise its good faith business judgment in granting or withholding such consent or approval or in making such judgment or determination without reference to any extrinsic standard of reasonableness, unless the provision providing for such consent, approval, judgment or determination specifies that Landlord’s consent or approval is not to be unreasonably withheld, or that such judgment or determination is to be reasonable, or otherwise specifies the standards under which Landlord may withhold its consent.

The review and/or approval by Landlord of any item to be reviewed or approved by Landlord under the terms of this Lease or any Exhibits hereto shall not impose upon Landlord any liability for accuracy or sufficiency of any such item or the quality or suitability of such item for its intended use. Any such review or approval is for the sole purpose of protecting Landlord’s interest in the Project under this Lease, and no third parties, including Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant, shall have any rights hereunder.

25.20 Letter of Credit.

(a) Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a standby, at sight, clean, irrevocable, non-documentary and unconditional Letter of Credit issued by and drawable upon a money-center bank (a bank which accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a local San Francisco Bay Area office and which will negotiate a letter of credit) (hereinafter referred to as the “Issuing Bank”), and has combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than FIVE HUNDRED MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($500,000,000.00), which Letter of Credit (i) shall name Landlord as beneficiary, (ii) be in the amount of SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($700,000.00), (iii) have a term of not less than three (3) years, (iv) permit multiple drawings, (v) be fully transferable by Landlord without the payment of any fees or charges, (vi) require that any draw on the Letter of Credit be made only upon receipt by the issuing Bank of a written letter from landlord certifying that an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, and (vii) provide that it is governed by the uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 revisions), and otherwise be in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The Letter of Credit shall have a term expiration date or be renewed annually for a period of three (3) years from the Commencement Date. If upon any transfer, any fees or charges shall be so imposed, then such fees or charges shall be payable solely by Tenant and the Letter of Credit shall so specify. The Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be deemed automatically renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one (1) year each thereafter, unless the Issuing Bank sends notice (the “Non-Renewal Notice”) to Landlord by certified mail, return receipt requested, not less than forty-five (45) days next preceding the then expiration date of the Letter of Credit that it elects not to have such Letter of Credit renewed. Landlord shall have the right, after its receipt of the Non-Renewal Notice and until the expiration of the Letter of Credit to draw the full amount of the Letter of Credit, by sight draft on the Issuing Bank, and shall hold the proceeds of the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 25.20 as cash security deposit.

(b) If an Event of Default in respect of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, including the payment of rent, Landlord may apply or retain the whole or any part of the cash security so deposited or may notify the Issuing Bank and thereupon receive all or a portion of the monies represented by the Letter of Credit and hold such proceeds pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 25.20 as a cash security deposit. The Landlord may use or apply, or retain the whole or any part of such proceeds, as the case may be, to the extent required for the payment of any Monthly Base Rent or any other sums due as a result of the Event of Default including (a) any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s Event of Default in respect of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, and/or (b) and damages or deficiency in the reletting of the Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrue or accrues before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Landlord. Drawing upon the Letter of Credit shall be conditioned upon the presentation to the Issuing Bank of a certified statement executed by an authorized member, officer or general partner of Landlord that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Lease and Landlord is exercising its right to draw upon the Letter of Credit. If it is necessary for Landlord to apply or retain any part of the Letter of Credit, Tenant, upon demand, shall deposit with Landlord the amount so applied or retained so that Landlord shall have the full SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($700,000.00) on hand at all times until (but not including) the thirty-seventh (37th) full calendar month of the term of this Lease. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the Letter of Credit, shall be returned to Tenant on the first (1st) day of the thirty-seventh (37th) full calendar month of the Lease. In the event of a sale of the real property or the Building or a master leasing of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to

transfer the Letter of Credit, and within five (5) business days after notice of such sale or leasing, Tenant, at its sole cost, shall arrange for the transfer of the Letter of Credit to the new landlord, as designated by Landlord in the foregoing notice or have the Letter of Credit reissued in the name of the new landlord and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such security, provided that the new landlord assumes thereupon in writing the obligations of Landlord hereunder. Upon such assumption by new landlord, Tenant shall look solely to the new landlord for the return of the Letter of Credit and the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the security to a new landlord. Tenant further covenants and agrees that it shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Letter of Credit designated herein as security and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assignees shall be bound by any such agreement, encumbrances, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

25.21 Right to Terminate. Landlord hereby grants Tenant with a one (1) time right to terminate this Lease (the “Right to Terminate”) effective on the last day of the forty-eighth (48th) full calendar month of the term of this Lease (the “Termination Effective Date”). In the event Tenant elects to exercise this Right to Terminate, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing no sooner than thirteen (13) months and no later than twelve (12) months prior to the Termination Effective Date. In the event of such notification Tenant shall pay Landlord a Termination Fee equal to $25.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises, with such fee being due and payable in full concurrently with the delivery of Tenant’s notice that it is exercising its Right to Terminate. If said payment is not made within this time frame, Tenant’s notice hereunder shall be deemed void.

25.22 Right of First Refusal. Landlord hereby grants Tenant a right of first refusal to lease (the “Right of First Refusal”) any space in excess of 5,000 rentable square feet that is available as of the date this Lease has been fully executed or becomes available during the term of this Lease, the “Refusal Space”. If and at such time as Landlord has received an expression of interest by a third party in leasing the Refusal Space, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such interest, stating the location, the rentable area, and the basic business terms under which Landlord proposes to lease the Refusal Space”, each a “First Refusal Notice”. Tenant shall have seven (7) days after receipt of a Refusal Notice to deliver to Landlord, in writing, its notice that it is exercising its rights hereunder, the “Exercise Notice” on the terms set forth in the First Refusal Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Tenant delivers an Exercise Notice, and Tenant has at least four (4) years remaining on the term of this Lease, then notwithstanding the terms of the First Refusal Notice, Landlord shall provide Tenant with suite improvements comparable to those delivered to Tenant as of the Commencement Date (e.g. similar carpet, quantities on a pro rata basis of walls, doors, hardware, lighting, electrical outlets and finishes), the rate of Base Rent shall be $26.00 per rentable square foot per annum, there shall be no free rent and the expiration date for the Refusal Space shall be coterminous with the expiration date of this Lease. In the event Tenant delivers an Exercise Notice and there is less than four (4) years remaining on the term of this Lease then all of the terms and conditions in the First Refusal Notice shall be applicable on any Exercise Notice delivered by Tenant.

LEASE AGREEMENT

DATED AS OF             , 2011

BETWEEN

ALEXANDER PROPERTIES COMPANY, AS LANDLORD,

AND

FIVE9, AS TENANT (“LEASE”)

WORK LETTER

2. Suite Improvements. Landlord shall in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all then-current Legal Requirements construct and install in the Premises the improvements and fixtures described in this Exhibit B and as shown on Exhibit C (the “Suite Improvements”). Improvements consisting of the type and materials (or alternates approved by Landlord), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, described on Schedule 1 attached hereto as Exhibit B are referred to herein as “Building Standard Materials”. All Suite Improvements other than (a) “Building Shell” (as described in Schedule 1) or (b) those that utilize materials in addition to, substitution for or modification of the Building Standard Materials are called herein “Above-Standard Suite Improvements”.

2.1. Plans.

(a) On or before December 14, 2011, Tenant will submit to Landlord a plan showing details and specifications sufficient to permit Landlord’s contractor and subcontractors to price and construct the Suite Improvements. Such plans shall hereinafter be referred to as the Construction Drawings.

2.2. Construction. Upon Landlord’s receipt of the Construction Drawings, approved by Tenant, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to cause the Suite Improvements to be Substantially Completed on or prior to the Scheduled Commencement Date. The Suite Improvements shall be deemed to be “Substantially Completed” when they have been completed in accordance with the Final Construction Drawings except for finishing details, minor omissions, decorations and mechanical adjustments of the type normally found on an architectural “punch list”. (The definition of Substantially Completed shall also define the terms “Substantial Completion” and “Substantially Complete.”) Punch list items shall be corrected by Landlord within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s occupancy.

2.3. Cost of Suite Improvements. See Paragraph 1 of the Lease entitled PREMISES.

2.4. Landlord’s Profit and Overhead. Intentionally Deleted

2.5. Tenant Delays.

Tenant shall be responsible for, and shall pay to Landlord, any and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any delay in the commencement or completion of any Suite Improvements and any increase in the cost of Suite Improvements (whether or not Above-Standard Suite Improvements) caused by (i) Tenant’s failure to deliver the items described above within the time periods required above, (ii) any changes or modifications in the work requested by Tenant following approval of the Construction Drawings, or (iii) any other delay requested or caused by Tenant (collectively, “Tenant Delays”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Tenant Delay shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until Landlord gives written notice to Tenant specifying the action, inaction or occurrence constituting the Tenant Delay and the number of days of such Tenant Delay (“Tenant Delay Notice”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each day of Tenant Delay will result in one (1) Scheduled Commencement Adjustment Day. In the event of a Tenant Delay, Landlord’s obligation to deliver Substantial Completion may, at Landlord’s option, be extended by one (1) day for each day of a Tenant Delay and Rent shall commence on the scheduled Commencement Date or as the case may be Free Rent will be reduced on a day for day basis for each day of Tenant Delay.

3. Commencement of Term. Upon Substantial Completion of the Suite Improvements, Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant. The Commencement Date will be the earlier of Substantial Completion of the Suite Improvements or the date Landlord would have completed the Premises and tendered the Premises to Tenant if Substantial Completion had not been delayed by the number of days specified in any and all Tenant Delay Notices given by Landlord as described in Paragraph 1.5.

4. Access to Premises. Landlord, at its reasonable discretion, shall allow Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives to enter the Premises prior to the Substantial Completion to permit Tenant to make the Premises ready for its use and occupancy; provided, however, that prior to such entry of the Premises, Tenant shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant’s insurance, as described in Paragraph 12 of the Lease, shall be in effect as of the time of such entry. Such permission may be revoked at any time upon twenty-four (24) hours written notice, and Tenant or its Representatives shall not unreasonably interfere with Landlord or Landlord’s contractor in completing the Building or the Suite Improvements. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable in any way for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant’s property placed upon or installed in the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, the same being at Tenant’s sole risk, and Tenant shall be liable for all injury, loss or damage to persons or property arising as a result of such entry of the Premises by Tenant or its Representatives.
