1.1 Premises, Building, Project and Common Areas.

1.1.1 The Premises.

(a) Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary (the “Premises” and sometimes also herein referred to as the “Building”). The outline of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the rentable square footage of the Premises shall be as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary and that the same shall not be subject to re-measurement or modification. The parties hereto agree that the lease of the Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A is to show the approximate location of the Premises only, and such Exhibit is not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the precise area thereof or the specific location of the “Common Areas,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.3, below, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the “Project,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below.

(b) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has been occupying the Premises pursuant to a Sublease dated as of November 5, 1998, as amended, between Tenant and Applied Materials, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Applied Materials Sublease”), and that its occupancy of the Premises commencing on the Lease Commencement Date is a continuation of its previous occupancy of the Premises. Tenant is familiar with the condition of the Premises and agrees to accept the Premises on and from the Lease Commencement Date in its existing “as is” condition without any obligation of Landlord to repair, remodel, improve or alter the Premises, to perform any other construction or other work of improvement upon the Premises, or to provide Tenant with any construction or refurbishing allowance whatsoever. Tenant further acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises as of the Lease Commencement Date shall conclusively establish that the Premises were at such time in good and sanitary order, condition and repair.

1.1.2 The Project. The Premises are a part of an office project, consisting of seven (7) buildings, and commonly known as “OAKMEAD WEST ”; and the term “Project,” as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) those buildings and the Common Areas, (ii) the land (which is improved with landscaping, above ground and subterranean parking facilities and other improvements) upon which such buildings and the Common Areas are located, and (iii) at Landlord’s discretion, any additional real property, areas, land, buildings or other improvements added thereto outside of the Project.

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

1.1.3 Common Areas. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”). The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the sole discretion of Landlord and the use thereof shall be subject to such rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas.

ARTICLE 2

LEASE TERM

The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease. The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall be as set forth in Section 3.1 of the Summary, shall commence on the date set forth in Section 3.2 of the Summary (the “Lease Commencement Date”), and shall terminate on the date set forth in Section 3.3 of the Summary (the “Lease Expiration Date”) unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Lease Year” shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period beginning with the Lease Commencement Date, except that if the Lease Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, then the first Lease Year shall be the period from the Lease Commencement Date through the final day of the calendar month during which the first anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date occurs, and subsequent Lease Years shall be each succeeding twelve month period during the Term following the first Lease Year. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within five (5) days of receipt thereof. This Lease shall be a binding contractual obligation effective upon execution and delivery hereof by Landlord and Tenant, notwithstanding the later commencement of the Lease Term.

ARTICLE 3

BASE RENT

Tenant shall pay, without prior notice or demand, to Landlord or Landlord’s agent at the Rent Payment Address specified in Section 12 of the Summary, or, at Landlord’s option, at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, by a check for currency which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for private or public debts in the United States of America, base rent (“Base Rent”) as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary, payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever; provided, however, that upon Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Prepaid Base Rent and Prepaid Additional Rent set

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

forth in Section 7 of the Summary (“Prepaid Rent”), which shall be applied to the first monthly installment of Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (as described in Article 4 below) payable by Tenant following the Lease Commencement Date, but if the Lease Commencement Date is a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then (a) the Prepaid Rent shall be applied to the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant for the partial month in which the Lease Commencement Date occurs and the next succeeding calendar month and (b) the Prorated First Rent Payment (as defined below) shall be payable by Tenant on or before the first full calendar month following the Lease Commencement Date. The “Prorated First Rent Payment” means the remaining amount of Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant for the first full calendar month following the Lease Commencement Date, after the Prepaid Rent is applied as provided above. If any Rent payment date (including the Lease Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such month or if any payment of Rent is for a period which is shorter than one month, the Rent for any fractional month shall accrue on a daily basis for the period from the date such payment is due to the end of such calendar month or to the end of the Lease Term on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable month. All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis.

ARTICLE 4

ADDITIONAL RENT

4.1 General Terms. In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay “Tenant’s Share” of the annual “Direct Expenses,” as those terms are defined in Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 of this Lease, respectively. Such payments by Tenant, together with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Additional Rent”, and the Base Rent and the Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as “Rent.” All amounts due under this Article 4 as Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner as the Base Rent.

4.2.1 “Direct Expenses” shall mean (a) “Operating Expenses”, (b) “Tax Expenses” and (c) a management fee (the “Management Fee”) equal to three (3%) of the sum of Base Rent, Operating Expenses and Taxes for the applicable Expense Year.

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses shall be equitably adjusted for any Expense Year involved in any such change.

4.2.3 “Operating Expenses” shall mean all expenses, costs and amounts of every kind and nature which Landlord pays or accrues during any Expense Year because of or in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, security, repair, replacement or operation of the Project, or any portion thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall specifically include any and all of the following: (i) the cost of supplying all utilities, the cost of operating, repairing, maintaining, and renovating the utility, telephone, mechanical, sanitary, storm drainage, and elevator systems, and the cost of maintenance and service contracts in connection therewith; (ii) the cost of licenses, certificates, permits and inspections and the cost of contesting any governmental enactments which may affect Operating Expenses, and the costs incurred in connection with a governmentally mandated transportation system management program or similar program; (iii) the cost of all insurance carried by Landlord in connection with the Project as reasonably determined by Landlord, and any deductibles paid under policies of any such insurance not to exceed $25,000 per occurrence; (iv) the cost of landscaping, relamping, and all supplies, tools, equipment and materials used in the operation, repair and maintenance of the Project, or any portion thereof; (v) the cost of parking area operation, repair and maintenance; (vi) fees and other costs of all contractors and consultants in connection with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Project; (vii) payments under any equipment rental agreements and the fair rental value of any management office space; (viii) subject to item (f), below, wages, salaries and other compensation and benefits, including taxes levied thereon, of all persons engaged in the operation, maintenance and security of the Project; (ix) costs under any instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Project; (x) operation, repair, maintenance and replacement of all systems and equipment and components thereof of the Project; (xi) the cost of janitorial, alarm, security and other services, maintenance and replacement of curbs and walkways, repair to roofs and re-roofing; (xii) amortization (including interest on the unamortized cost) over such period of time as Landlord shall reasonably determine, of the cost of acquiring or the rental expense of personal property used in the maintenance, operation and repair of the Project, or any portion thereof; (xiii) except for costs and expenses which are the sole responsibility of Tenant pursuant to Section 7.2 below, all costs paid or incurred by Landlord to perform Landlord’s Repair Obligations (as defined in pursuant to Section 7.2.1 below); and (xiv) costs, fees, charges or assessments imposed by, or resulting from any mandate imposed on Landlord by, any federal, state or local government for fire and police protection, trash removal, community services, or other services which do not constitute “Tax Expenses” as that term is defined in Section 4.2.5, below, and (xv) payments under any easement, license, operating agreement, declaration, restrictive covenant, or instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Building, including, without limitation, any covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the property, and reciprocal easement agreements affecting the property, any parking licenses, and any agreements with transit agencies affecting the Property (collectively, and including, without limitation, any CC&Rs, as defined below, the “Underlying Documents”). Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2.3(o) below, any Operating Expenses that constitute capital expenditures (collectively, “Included Capital Items”) shall be amortized by Landlord (including interest on the amortized cost) over such period of time as Landlord shall reasonably determine, and such amortized costs shall be included in Operating Expenses only for that portion of the useful life of the Included

OAKMEAD WEST

(e) costs associated with the operation of the business of the partnership or entity which constitutes the Landlord, as the same are distinguished from the costs of operation of the Project (which shall specifically include, but not be limited to, accounting costs associated with the operation of the Project).

(k) all items and services for which Tenant or any other tenant in the Project reimburses Landlord or which Landlord provides selectively to one or more tenants (other than Tenant) without reimbursement;

(l) any costs expressly excluded from Operating Expenses elsewhere in this Lease;

(m) rent for any office space occupied by Project management personnel to the extent the size or rental rate of such office space exceeds the size or fair market rental value of office space occupied by management personnel of the comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Building, with adjustment where appropriate for the size of the applicable project;

(n) costs arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees, vendors, contractors, or providers of materials or services;

(o) the cost of repairs or other work occasioned by any insured fire or other casualty (as described in Article 11 below), to the extent that Landlord shall receive proceeds of such insurance (provided that costs of repairing an insured casualty to the extent of the deductible amount under the applicable insurance policy shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.2.3, constitute an Operating Expense); and

(p) the cost of any repairs, alterations, additions, changes, replacements, and other items which, under generally accepted accounting principles, are properly classified as capital expenditures, to the extent they upgrade or improve the Building or Project as opposed to repair or replace existing items that have worn out, unless such upgrades or improvements are (i) necessitated by Applicable Requirements first applicable following the date

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

of this Lease or (ii) are reasonably intended to reduce Operating Expenses or improve life/safety conditions.

4.2.4 Taxes.

4.2.4.1 “Tax Expenses” shall mean all federal, state, county, or local governmental or municipal taxes, fees, charges or other impositions of every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, (including, without limitation, real estate taxes, general and special assessments, transit taxes, leasehold taxes or taxes based upon the receipt of rent, including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent, unless required to be paid by Tenant, personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment, appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in connection with the Project, or any portion thereof), which shall be paid or accrued during any Expense Year (without regard to any different fiscal year used by such governmental or municipal authority) because of or in connection with the ownership, leasing and operation of the Project, or any portion thereof.

4.2.4.2 Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation: (i) Any tax on the rent, right to rent or other income from the Project, or any portion thereof, or as against the business of leasing the Project, or any portion thereof; (ii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“Proposition 13”) and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants, and, in further recognition of the decrease in the level and quality of governmental services and amenities as a result of Proposition 13, Tax Expenses shall also include any governmental or private assessments or the Project’s contribution towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies; (iii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the Rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any business or gross income tax or excise tax with respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof; and (iv) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

Tax refunds shall be credited against Tax Expenses and refunded to Tenant regardless of when received, based on the Expense Year to which the refund is applicable, provided that in no event shall the amount to be refunded to Tenant for any such Expense Year exceed the total amount paid by Tenant as Additional Rent under this Article 4 for such Expense Year. If Tax Expenses for any period

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased after payment thereof for any reason, including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand Tenant’s Share of any such increased Tax Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2.5 (except as set forth in Section 4.2.5.1, above), there shall be excluded from Tax Expenses (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Project), (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses, and (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.5 of this Lease.

4.2.5 “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 6 of the Summary.

4.3 Cost Pools. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Direct Expenses for the Project among different portions or occupants of the Project (the “Cost Pools”), in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project, and the retail space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project. The Direct Expenses within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged to the tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable manner.

4.4 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1, below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses; provided, however, that if the Lease Expiration Date occurs on a day other than the last day of an Expense Year, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses during such Expense Year shall be prorated on the basis that the number of days from the commencement of such Expense Year to and including the Lease Expiration Date bears to three hundred sixty-five (365).

4.4.1 Statement of Actual Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant within 150 days following the end of each Expense Year (or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable), a statement (the “Statement”) which shall state the Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, the full amount of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Direct Expenses,” as that term is defined in Section 4.4.2, below, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of Tenant’s overpayment against Rent next due under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall within 30 days of invoice pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, and if Tenant paid more as

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in the amount of the overpayment. The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

4.4.2 Statement of Estimated Direct Expenses. In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (the “Estimated Direct Expenses”). The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Direct Expenses under this Article 4, nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Direct Expenses theretofore delivered to the extent necessary. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.4.2). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Direct Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

4.5 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible.

4.5.1 Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten (10) days before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.

4.5.2 If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Project are assessed, then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.5.1, above.

4.5.3 Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

applicable tax on the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project, including the Project parking facility; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

4.6 Books and Records. Landlord shall maintain books and records reflecting the Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses in accordance with sound accounting and management practices. Tenant and a certified public accountant employed by a certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord and working on a non-contingency fee basis shall have the right to inspect Landlord’s records at Landlord’s applicable local office or other location designated by Landlord upon at least seventy-two (72) hours’ prior notice during normal business hours during the ninety (90) days following Landlord’s delivery of the Statement to Tenant. The results of any such inspection shall be kept strictly confidential by Tenant and its agents, and Tenant and its certified public accountant must agree, in their contract for such services, to such confidentiality restrictions and shall specifically agree that the results shall not be made available to any other tenant of the Project (and in connection with the foregoing, prior to exercising its rights hereunder, Tenant and its agents shall sign a confidentiality agreement acceptable to Landlord). Unless Tenant sends to Landlord any written exception to a Statement within said ninety (90) day period, such Statement shall be deemed final and accepted by Tenant and Tenant waives any other rights pursuant to applicable law to inspect Landlord’s books and records and/or to contest the amount of Operating Expenses and/or Tax Expenses due hereunder. Tenant shall pay the amount shown on any Statement in the manner prescribed in this Lease, whether or not Tenant takes any such written exception, without any prejudice to such exception. If Tenant makes a timely exception, Landlord shall cause an independent certified public accountant to issue a final and conclusive resolution of Tenant’s exception. If, according to such accountant, Landlord’s original determination of annual Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses overstated the amounts thereof, in the aggregate, by five percent (5%) or less or understated the amounts thereof, then Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of the certification, and, in the case of an understatement, shall pay to Landlord the deficiency in Tenant’s payment of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses within twenty (20) days following Tenant’s receipt of such certification. If, according to such certification, Landlord’s original determination of annual Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses overstated the amounts thereof, in the aggregate, by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall pay the reasonable cost of the certification and shall, at its election, either promptly refund to Tenant the amount of Tenant’s overpayment of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses or, if this Lease is still in effect, credit such overpayment against Tenant’s subsequent obligations to pay Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses. If this Lease is no longer in effect, then, provided that Landlord has not terminated this Lease following a Tenant default pursuant to Article 19 below (in which event, Landlord shall credit the amount of such refund against Landlord’s damages therefrom), Landlord shall pay the reasonable cost of the certification and shall promptly refund to Tenant the amount of Tenant’s overpayment of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses. This provision shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

ARTICLE 7

7.1 Tenant’s Obligations.

7.1.1 Except to the extent expressly Landlord’s obligation under Section 7.1.2 below, Tenant shall, throughout the Term at its sole cost and expense, (a) keep and maintain the Premises in good order and condition, and repair and replace every part thereof (“Tenant’s Repair Obligations”), including, without limitation, the following: (1) glass, windows, window frames, window casements (including the repairing, resealing, cleaning and replacing of both interior and exterior windows) and skylights; (2) interior and exterior doors, door frames and door closers; (3) interior lighting (including, without limitation, light bulbs and ballasts); (4) the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (“HVAC”) systems and equipment, the plumbing, sewer, drainage, electrical, fire protection, elevator, escalator, life safety and security systems and equipment and other mechanical, electrical and communications systems and equipment (collectively, the “Building Systems”), or portions of the Building Systems, that exclusively serve the Premises, including, without limitation, (i) any specialty or supplemental Building Systems installed by or for Tenant and (ii) all electrical facilities and equipment, including lighting fixtures, lamps, fans and any exhaust equipment and systems, electrical motors and all other appliances and equipment of every kind and nature located in, upon or about the Premises; (5) all communications systems serving the Premises; (6) all of Tenant’s security systems in or about or serving the Premises; (7) Tenant’s signage; and (8) interior demising walls and partitions (including painting and wallcoverings), equipment, floors, and any roll-up doors, ramps and dock equipment, (b) furnish all expendables, including light bulbs, paper goods and soaps, used in the Premises, and (c) to the extent that Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of its intention to no longer arrange for such monitoring, cause the fire alarm systems serving the Premises to be monitored by a monitoring or protective services firm approved by Landlord in writing.

7.1.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1.3 above, if, with respect to the Building Systems serving the Premises, Tenant’s repair and replacement obligations hereunder require Tenant to incur capital expenditures, then such repairs or replacements shall be Landlord’s Repair Obligations pursuant to Section 7.2.1 below, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost of such repairs or replacements as an Included Capital Item hereunder, plus, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor, a percentage of the cost thereof (to be uniformly established for the Project) sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs or expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such repairs and replacements.

ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS

8.1 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises or any mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or systems pertaining to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than twenty (20) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord, provided it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration which adversely affects the structural portions or the systems or equipment of the Building or is visible from the exterior of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to make Alterations following ten (10) business days notice to Landlord, but without Landlord’s prior consent, to the extent that such Alterations are decorative only (i.e., installation of carpeting or painting of the Premises).

8.2 Manner of Construction. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors, subcontractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen approved by Landlord, the requirement that upon Landlord’s request,

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove such Alterations upon the expiration or any early termination of the Lease Term. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with any and all applicable federal, state, county or municipal laws, rules and regulations and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the city in which the Building is located all in conformance with Landlord’s construction rules and regulations; provided, however, that prior to commencing to construct any Alteration, Tenant shall meet with Landlord to discuss Landlord’s design parameters and code compliance issues. In the event Tenant performs any Alterations in the Premises which require or give rise to governmentally required changes to the structural portions of the Building, then Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, make such changes. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner so as not to obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof, by any other tenant of the Project, and so as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project. Tenant shall not use (and upon notice from Landlord shall cease using) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the Building or the Common Areas. In addition to Tenant’s obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the recorder of the county in which the Building is located in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to the Project construction manager a reproducible copy of the “as built” drawings of the Alterations as well as all permits, approvals and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Alterations.

8.3 Payment for Improvements. If payment is made by Tenant directly to contractors, Tenant shall (i) comply with Landlord’s requirements for final lien releases and waivers in connection with Tenant’s payment for work to contractors, and (ii) sign Landlord’s standard contractor’s rules and regulations. If Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to Landlord’s then current standard fee to compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such work. If Tenant does not order any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable, actual, out of pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with Landlord’s review of such work. At Landlord’s option, prior to the commencement of construction of any Alteration, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the reasonably anticipated cost thereof, which Landlord shall disburse during construction pursuant to Landlord’s standard, commercially reasonable disbursement procedure.

8.4 Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations that cost in excess of $150,000, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant carries “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount reasonably approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee.

8.5 Landlord’s Property. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Alterations and/or improvements, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal, and return the affected portion of the Premises to its condition existing prior to the installment of such Alterations or improvements; provided, however, that if Tenant’s request for Landlord’s approval of any proposed Alterations contains a request, in all capital letters, that Landlord identify any portion of such Alterations that Landlord will require Tenant to remove as provided above, then Landlord will, at the time it approves such Alterations, identify such portion of the Alterations, if any, that Landlord will require Tenant to so remove. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations or improvements and return the affected portion of the Premises to their condition existing prior to the installment of such Alterations or improvements or, if elected by Landlord, to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 9

COVENANT AGAINST LIENS

Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any Claims (as defined in Section 10.1.2 below) arising out of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least ten (10) business days prior to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or such additional time as may be necessary under Applicable Requirements) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within ten (10) business days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord’s title to the Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the Premises not performed by

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord’s option shall attach only against Tenant’s interest in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord’s title to the Project and Premises.

The foregoing indemnification shall apply regardless of the active or passive negligence of Landlord Parties and regardless of whether liability without fault or strict liability is imposed or sought to be imposed on the Landlord Parties; provided, however, that, with respect to any Landlord Party, Tenant’s obligations under this Section shall be inapplicable to the extent such Claims arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Landlord Party and are not covered by the insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder, or to the extent such obligations are prohibited by applicable law. Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall secure defense for Landlord and pay all expenses incurred in such suit, including without limitation, professional fees such as reasonable appraisers’, accountants’ and attorneys’ fees.

In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificate, Landlord may, at its option, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within five (5) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.

10.5 Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant intend that their respective property loss risks shall be borne by reasonable insurance carriers to the extent above provided, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery only from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss to the extent that such coverage is agreed to be provided hereunder. The parties each hereby waive all rights and claims against each other for such losses, and waive all rights of subrogation of their respective insurers, provided such waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right to the insured to recover thereunder. The parties agree that their respective insurance policies are now, or shall be, endorsed such that the waiver of

ShoreTel, Inc.

subrogation shall not affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder, so long as no material additional premium is charged therefor.

10.6 Additional Insurance Obligations. Tenant shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10 and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant’s operations therein, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, but in no event in excess of the amounts and types of insurance then being required by landlords of buildings comparable to and in the vicinity of the Building.

ARTICLE 11

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any Common Areas serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the structural portions and shell condition of the Building and such Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the structural and shell portions of the Building and the Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, which are consistent with the character of the Project, provided that access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, upon notice (the “Landlord Repair Notice”) to Tenant from Landlord, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Section 10.3 of this Lease and pay to Landlord the deductible amount thereunder, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements and the Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements and Original Improvements to their original condition. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, and the Premises are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, then during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which is unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. In the event that Landlord shall not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice, Tenant’s right to rent abatement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall terminate as of the date which is reasonably determined by Landlord to be the date Tenant should have completed repairs to the Premises assuming Tenant used reasonable due diligence in connection therewith.

11.2 Landlord’s Option to Repair. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises and/or Project, and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building or Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project or ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies (plus the deductible amount); (iv) Landlord decides to rebuild the Building or Common Areas so that they will be substantially different structurally or architecturally; (v) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term; or (vi) any owner of any other portion of the Project, other than Landlord, does not intend to repair the damage to such portion of the Project; provided, however, that if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, and the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after being commenced (or within sixty (60) days if the casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term), Tenant may elect, no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the damage and not later than ninety (90) days after the date of such damage, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant.

11.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises or the Project.

ARTICLE 12

NONWAIVER

No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby. The waiver by either party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant’s right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.

ARTICLE 13

CONDEMNATION

If the whole or any part of the Premises or Project shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.

ARTICLE 14

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers”, any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”, and any person by whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferor”). If Tenant desires Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer Notice”) shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer (the “Contemplated Effective Date”), which shall not be less than ten (10) business days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, and the contemplated length of the term of such contemplated Transfer (the “Contemplated Transfer Term”); (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Contemplated Transfer Space”), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of the “Transfer Premium”, as that term is defined in Section 14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, provided that Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to utilize Landlord’s standard Transfer documents in connection with the documentation of such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee (“Transferee Financials”) certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit and personal references and history of the proposed Transferee and any other information reasonably required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Contemplated Transfer Space, and (v) an executed estoppel certificate from Tenant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable review and processing fees (not to exceed $500), as well as any reasonable out-of-pocket third party professional fees (including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’, architects’, engineers’ and consultants’ fees) incurred by Landlord for said Transfer, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord.

14.2 Landlord’s Consent. Subject to Landlord’s rights set forth in Section 14.4 below, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Contemplated Transfer Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:

14.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the Project;

14.2.2 The Transferee intends to use the Contemplated Transfer Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;

14.2.3 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof or a nonprofit organization;

14.2.4 The rent charged by Tenant to such Transferee during the term of such Transfer, calculated using a present value analysis, is less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the rent being quoted by Landlord at the time of such Transfer for comparable space in the Project for a comparable term, calculated using a present value analysis;

14.2.5 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested (the parties acknowledging that if the Transferee Financials indicate that the Transferee has a Net Worth [as defined in Section 14.8 below] equal to or greater than the Net Worth of SHORETEL INC ., a California corporation (the “Original Tenant”) as of the Date of this Lease, then this condition shall be satisfied);

14.2.6 The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease; or

14.2.7 The proposed Transferee is a Prohibited Person, as defined in Section 29.21 below; or

14.2.8 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, is negotiating with Landlord or has negotiated with Landlord during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the date Landlord receives the Transfer Notice, to lease space in the Project.

If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant’s original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord’s right of

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14, their sole remedies shall be a suit for contract damages (other than damages for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring) or declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all Applicable Requirements, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.

14.3 Transfer Premium.

14.3.1 If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord sixty percent (60%) of any “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee. “Transfer Premium” means (i)(a) in the case of an assignment, any consideration (including, without limitation, payment for leasehold improvements) paid by the assignee on account of such assignment, and (b) in the case of any other Transfer, all rent, additional rent or other consideration paid by the Transferee to the Transferor pursuant to such Transfer in excess of the base rent and additional rent payable by such Transferor during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis, minus (ii) any brokerage commissions (not to exceed commissions typically paid in the market at the time of such subletting or assignment) and reasonable attorneys’ fees paid by Transferor in connection with the Transfer (“Recoverable Expenses”), unless the deduction of such Recoverable Expenses is waived by Transferor pursuant to Section 14.3.2 below. For purposes of calculating the Transfer Premium in connection with a sublease, the Recoverable Expenses shall be deducted, on an amortized basis, without interest, over the term of the sublease. Payment of the portion of the Transfer Premium due Landlord hereunder shall be a joint and several obligation of Tenant and the Transferee, and shall be made to Landlord as follows: (1) in the case of an assignment, the Transferor shall pay the portion of the Transfer Premium due to Landlord within ten (10) days after the Transferor receives the consideration described in clause (i)(a) above; and (2) in the case of any other Transfer, on the first day of each month during the term of the Transfer, the Transferee shall pay directly to Landlord sixty percent (60%) of the amount by which the rent, additional rent or other consideration due from the Transferee for such month exceeds (x) the base rent and additional rent payable by the applicable Transferor for said month which is allocable to the Contemplated Transfer Space, plus (y) the amortized amount of Recoverable Expenses allocated to such month, unless such Recoverable Expenses are waived by Transferor pursuant to Section 14.3.2 below.

14.3.2 Within sixty (60) days after the effective date of any Transfer, Transferor shall provide Landlord a written statement, together with reasonably detailed invoices therefor, certifying the total amount of Recoverable Expenses in connection with any Transfer and Tenant’s calculation of the Transfer Premium. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant, and any other Transferor, relating to a Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found to be understated, Tenant shall, within

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

ten (10) days after demand, pay the deficiency; and, if understated by more than five percent (5%), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s costs of such audit.

14.4 Landlord’s Option as to Contemplated Transfer Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, in the case of a proposed assignment, sublease for all or substantially all of the remaining Lease Term, or other Transfer, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Such recapture shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such Contemplated Transfer Space as of the Contemplated Effective Date. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner, to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space under this Section 14.4, then, subject to the other terms of this Article 14, for a period of nine (9) months (the “Nine Month Period”) commencing on the last day of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not have any right to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any Transfer made during the Nine Month Period, provided that any such Transfer is substantially on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice, and provided further that any such Transfer shall be subject to the remaining terms of this Article 14. If such a Transfer is not so consummated within the Nine Month Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any Transfer of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such Nine Month Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect any contemplated Transfer, as provided above in this Section 14.4.

14.5 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant’s chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the Contemplated Transfer Space.

14.6 Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners, or transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of partnership interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

counter), (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or (B) the sale or other transfer of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12) month period.

14.7 Occurrence of Default. Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to: (i) treat such Transfer as cancelled and repossess the Contemplated Transfer Space by any lawful means, or (ii) require that such Transferee attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such Transfer. If Tenant shall be in default under this Lease, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured. Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Tenant. Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing. In no event shall Landlord’s enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person. If Tenant’s obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents to such Transfer.

14.8 Non-Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, if Tenant is not then in default of this Lease, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises (hereinafter collectively referred to as a “Permitted Transfer”) to (a) an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant), (b) any successor entity to Tenant by way of merger, consolidation or other non-bankruptcy corporate reorganization, or (c) an entity which acquires all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets (collectively, “Permitted Transferees”, and, individually, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided that (i) at least ten (10) business days prior to the Transfer, Tenant notifies Landlord of such Transfer, and supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such Transfer or Permitted Transferee, including, but not limited to, copies of the sublease or instrument of assignment and copies of documents establishing to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord that the transaction in question is one permitted under this Section 14.8, (ii) at least ten (10) business days prior to the Transfer, Tenant furnishes Landlord with a written document executed by the proposed Permitted Transferee in which, in the case of an assignment, such entity assumes all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease with respect to the Contemplated Transfer Space, and, in the case of a sublease, such entity agrees to sublease the Contemplated Transfer Space subject to this Lease, (iii) in the case of a Transfer pursuant to clause (b) above, the successor entity must have a net worth (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, except that intangible assets such as

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

goodwill, patents, copyrights, and trademarks shall be excluded in the calculation (“Net Worth”)) at the time of the Transfer that is at least equal to the Net Worth of Tenant immediately prior to such Transfer, and (iv) any such proposed Transfer is made for a good faith operating business purpose and not, whether in a single transaction or in a series of transactions, be entered into as a subterfuge to evade the obligations and restrictions relating to Transfers set forth in this Article 14. “Control,” as used in this Section 14.8, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity.

ARTICLE 15

SURRENDER OF PREMISES; OWNERSHIP AND
REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES AND OTHER PROPERTY

15.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in writing by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises or terminate any or all such sublessees or subtenancies.

15.2 Removal of Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of Section 8.5 above and this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in its condition existing as of the date of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted, with all interior walls repaired and repainted if marked or damaged, all carpets shampooed and cleaned, all broken, marred or nonconforming acoustical ceiling tiles replaced, all windows washed, the plumbing and electrical systems and lighting in good order and repair, including replacement of any burned out or broken light bulbs or ballasts, the HVAC equipment serviced and repaired by a reputable and licensed service firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and all floors cleaned and waxed, all to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises the following items, and shall restore the Premises to its condition prior to their installation, including, without limitation, repairing all damage caused by the installation or removal of any of the following items: (a) all debris and rubbish, (b) such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, (c) any Alterations that Landlord elects to be removed pursuant to Section 8.5, and (d) those improvements

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

identified on Exhibit B attached hereto, which were installed in the Premises by Tenant prior to the date of this Lease. If Tenant does not timely remove such property, then Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have, at Landlord’s election: (i) conveyed such property to Landlord without compensation or (ii) abandoned such property, and Landlord may dispose of or store any part thereof in any manner at Tenant’s sole cost, without waiving Landlord’s right to claim from Tenant all expenses arising out of Tenant’s failure to remove the property, and without liability to Tenant or any other person. Landlord shall have no duty to be a bailee of any such personal property. If Landlord elects to consider such property abandoned, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the costs of: (1) removal of any such Alterations or personal property, (2) storage, transportation, and disposition of the same, and (3) repair and restoration of the Premises, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date of expenditure by Landlord.

ARTICLE 16

HOLDING OVER

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, with the express written consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Tenant shall pay Rent at a monthly rate equal to (a) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent payable by Tenant immediately prior to such holding over (without regard to any abatements of Rent on account of casualty or otherwise), plus (b) Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses, computed on a monthly basis for each full or partial month Tenant remains in possession. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein. If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, without the express written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance only, for the entire Premises upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease as might be applicable to such tenancy; provided, however, that, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, Tenant shall pay Base Rent at a monthly rate equal to (i) for the first thirty (30) days of such holding over, one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent payable by Tenant immediately prior to such holding over (without regard to any abatements of Rent on account of casualty or otherwise), plus Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses; and (ii) thereafter, an amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Rent payable by Tenant immediately prior to such holding over (without regard to any abatements of Rent on account of casualty or otherwise), plus Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses, computed on a monthly basis for each full or partial month Tenant remains in possession. Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all Claims resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Claims made by any

succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

ARTICLE 17

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E, attached hereto (or such other form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of the Project. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. At any time during the Lease Term, but not more than twice per calendar year, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with a current financial statement and financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant. Failure of Tenant to timely execute, acknowledge and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception.

ARTICLE 18

SUBORDINATION

This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Building or Project and to the lien of any mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrances now or hereafter in force against the Building or Project or any part thereof, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages, trust deeds or other encumbrances, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases (each, a “Security Holder”), require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed in lieu thereof (or if any ground lease is terminated), to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the Security Holder or purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof (or to the ground lessor), if so requested to do so by such purchaser or Security Holder or ground lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or Security Holder or ground lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such Security Holder or purchaser or ground lessor shall agree to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s occupancy, so long as Tenant timely pays the rent and observes and performs the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant. Landlord’s interest herein may be assigned as security at any time to any Security

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) Tenant shall, concurrently with its execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord, deliver to Landlord a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “SNDA”), duly executed (and acknowledged) by Tenant, and (b) within ten (10) days of request by Landlord from time to time thereafter (which may be made only in connection with a bona fide sale, financing or other similar transaction involving the Project), execute such other instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause German American Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation, the “Lender” under the SNDA (“GACC”), to execute the SNDA as soon as reasonably practicable following Landlord’s receipt of the SNDA from Tenant. Except for making such commercially reasonable efforts, Landlord will be under no duty or obligation hereunder with respect to the SNDA, nor will the failure or refusal of GACC to grant a non-disturbance agreement render Landlord liable to Tenant, or affect this Lease, in any manner. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.

ARTICLE 19

DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

19.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:

19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, when due unless such failure is cured within five (5) business days after notice; or

19.1.2 Except where a specific time period is otherwise set forth for Tenant’s performance in this Lease, in which event the failure to perform by Tenant within such time period shall be a default by Tenant under this Section 19.1.2, any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such default; or

19.1.3 Abandonment of the Premises by Tenant; or

19.1.4 The failure by Tenant to observe or perform according to the provisions of Articles 5, 14, 17 or 18 of this Lease where such failure continues for more than two (2) business days after notice from Landlord; or

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

19.1.5 Tenant’s failure to occupy the Premises within ten (10) business days after the Lease Commencement Date.

The notice periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice periods provided by law, and Landlord shall not be required to give any additional notice in order to be entitled to commence an unlawful detainer proceeding.

19.2 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and cumulative), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.

19.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

(a) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and

(e) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.

The term “rent” as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Sections 19.2.1(a) and (b), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the “Interest Rate” (as set forth in Article 25 of this Lease), but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law. As used in Section 19.2.1(c) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

19.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

19.2.3 Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Sections 19.2.1 and 19.2.2, above, or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by applicable law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.

19.3 Efforts to Relet. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any law to redeem or reinstate this Lease.

19.4 Landlord Defaults. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to begin and thereafter pursue with reasonable diligence the cure of any failure of Landlord to meet its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant of the alleged failure to perform. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or rescind this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default as to any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease. Tenant hereby waives such remedies of termination and rescission and hereby agrees that Tenant’s remedies for default hereunder and for breach of any promise or inducement shall be limited to a suit for damages and/or injunction. In addition, Tenant hereby covenants that, prior to the exercise of any such remedies, Tenant will give notice and a reasonable time to cure any default by Landlord to any Security Holder of which Tenant has been given notice.

ARTICLE 20

COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.

ARTICLE 21

SECURITY DEPOSIT

Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a security deposit (the “Security Deposit”) in the amount set forth in Section 7 of the Summary, as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, the removal of property and the repair of resultant damage, Landlord may, without notice to Tenant, but shall not be required to apply all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default and Tenant shall, within three (3) days after demand therefor, restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall, at Landlord’s option, be a default under this Lease with no opportunity to cure. Any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant, or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder, within sixty (60) days following the later to occur of (a) the expiration of the Lease Term or (b) Tenant’s vacation and surrender of the Premises in accordance with the requirements of this Lease. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, or any successor statute, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect, to the extent they: (i) establish the time frame by which a landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease, and/or (ii) provide that a landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by a tenant or to clean the premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this Section above and/or those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage caused by Tenant’s default of this Lease, as amended hereby, including, but not limited to, all damages or rent due upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.

ARTICLE 22

22.1 Grant of License. Subject to the applicable terms and conditions contained in this Lease (including, without limitation, Article 8 above and this Section), Tenant shall have a license (the “License”), at no additional charge to Tenant, to install, operate, maintain and use, during the Lease Term, (a) HVAC and non revenue producing telecommunications and satellite equipment to serve Tenant’s business in the Premises (collectively, “Rooftop Equipment”) on the open space of the roof of the Building within the existing sight screen wall, in a specific location reasonably designated by Landlord (the “License Area”); and (b) connections for the Rooftop Equipment for (i) electrical wiring to the Building’s existing electrical supply and (ii) cable or similar connection necessary to connect the Rooftop Equipment with Tenant’s related

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

equipment located in the Premises. The routes or paths for such wiring and connections shall be through the Building’s existing risers, conduits and shafts, subject to reasonable space limitations and Landlord’s reasonable requirements for use of such areas, and in all events subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval of plans and installation pursuant to other provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, Section 29.33 below (such routes or paths are collectively referred to as the “Cable Path” and all such electrical and other connections are referred to collectively as the “Connections”). The Rooftop Equipment and Connections are collectively referred to as the “Equipment”.

22.2 Interference. Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, Tenant shall install, maintain and operate the Equipment in a manner so as to not cause any electrical, electromagnetic, radio frequency or other material interference with the use and operation of any: (a) television or radio equipment in or about the Project; (b) transmitting, receiving or master television, telecommunications or microwave antennae equipment currently or hereafter located in any portion of the Project; or (c) radio communication system now or hereafter used or desired to be used by Landlord or any current licensee or tenant of Landlord (and, to the extent commercially reasonable, any future licensee or tenant of Landlord, but only provided that the same does not impair the functionality of Tenant’s Equipment). Upon notice of any such interference, Tenant shall immediately cooperate with Landlord to identify the source of the interference and shall, within twenty-four (24) hours, if requested by Landlord, cease all operations of the Equipment (except for intermittent testing as approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) until the interference has been corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, unless Tenant reasonably establishes prior to the expiration of such twenty-four (24) hour period that the interference is not caused by the Equipment, in which case Tenant may operate its Equipment pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs associated with any tests deemed reasonably necessary to resolve any and all interference as set forth in this Section. If any such interference caused by Tenant has not been corrected within ten (10) days after notice to Tenant, Landlord may (i) require Tenant to remove the specific Equipment causing such interference, or (ii) eliminate the interference at Tenant’s expense. If the equipment of any other party causes interference with the Equipment, Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with such other party to resolve such interference in a mutually acceptable manner.

22.3 Roof Repairs. If Landlord desires to perform roof repairs and/or roof replacements to the Building (the “Roof Repairs”), Landlord shall give Tenant at least ten (10) business days’ prior written notice of the date Landlord intends to commence such Roof Repairs (except in the event of an emergency, in which event Landlord shall furnish Tenant with reasonable notice in light of the circumstances), along with a description of the work scheduled to be performed, where it is scheduled to be performed on the roof, and an estimate of the time frame required for that performance. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days following receipt of such notice, undertake such measures as it deems suitable to protect the Equipment from interference by Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees, in the course of any Roof Repairs.

22.4 Rules and Regulations. Without limiting the applicable provisions of this Lease, Tenant’s use of the roof of the Building for the installation, operation, maintenance and use of the

OAKMEAD WEST

ARTICLE 23

SIGNS

23.1 Signage Rights. Tenant shall not place on any portion of the Premises any sign, placard, lettering, banner, displays, graphic, decor or other advertising or communicative material which is visible from the exterior of the Building without Landlord’s prior written approval; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to the following signage rights in accordance with Landlord’s signage standards in effect at the time (“Signage Standards”) and all Applicable Requirements (“Tenant’s Signage Rights”): (a) Project-standard tenant identification signage on the monument sign for the Building and (b) if during the Lease Term, Landlord allows any other tenant of the Project to place identification signage on the exterior of its building, or modifies the Signage Standards to allow identification signage on the exterior of the buildings in the Project, then Tenant’s Signage Rights shall include the right to place identification signage on the exterior of the Building. The material, typeface, graphic format and proportions of Tenant’s signs, as well as the precise location of such signs, shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant, at its expense, shall be responsible for obtaining all approvals for such signs and for obtaining and installing such signs. The failure of Tenant to obtain such approvals shall not release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease. Any approved signs shall strictly conform to all Applicable Requirements and shall be installed and removed at Tenant’s expense. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall maintain such signs in good condition and repair during the Term. Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant at its sole cost shall remove all of its exterior signage and repair any and all damage caused to the Building and/or Project (including and fading or discoloration) by such signs and/or the removal of such signs from the Building and/or Project.

23.2 Rights Personal to Tenant. Tenant’s Signage Rights are personal to, and may be exercised only by, the Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee (and not by any other assignee, sublessee or Transferee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease), and only so long as the Original Tenant or Permitted Transferee continues to occupy the entire Premises.

ARTICLE 24

COMPLIANCE WITH LAW; HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

24.1 Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises or the Project which will in any way conflict with any Applicable Requirements that may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such Applicable Requirements. Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Landlord or Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health or safety standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, then Tenant agrees, at

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such standards or regulations. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to make all alterations to the Premises as are required to comply with Applicable Requirements. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated any of said Applicable Requirements, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

24.2 Hazardous Substances; Mold Conditions.

24.2.1 Prohibition Against Hazardous Substances.

(a) Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Substances (as defined below) to be brought upon, produced, treated, stored, used, discharged or disposed of in or near the Project without Landlord’s prior written consent, which Landlord may give or withhold in its sole discretion. Any handling, transportation, storage, treatment, disposal or use of any Hazardous Substances in or about the Project by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees shall strictly comply with all Applicable Requirements. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining and complying with all permits necessary for the maintenance and operation of its business, including, without limitation, all permits governing the use, handling, storage, treatment, transport, discharge and disposal of Hazardous Substances. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and the Landlord Parties harmless from and against any Claims (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises or the Project, damages for the loss or restriction on use of leasable space or of any amenity of the Premises or the Project, damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space in the Project, Remedial Work (as defined below), and sums paid in settlement of claims) which result from or arise out of the use, storage, treatment, transportation, release, or disposal of any Hazardous Substances on or about the Premises during the Term and on or about the Project outside of the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Parties.

(b) Landlord shall have the right, at any time, but not more than two (2) times in any calendar year (unless Landlord has reasonable cause to believe that Tenant has failed to fully comply with the provisions of this Section 24.2, or unless required by any lender or governmental agency), to inspect the Premises and conduct tests and investigations to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with the provisions of this Section 24.2. The costs of all such inspections, tests and investigations shall be borne solely by Tenant. The foregoing rights granted to Landlord shall not, however, create (i) a duty on Landlord’s part to inspect, test, investigate, monitor or otherwise observe the Premises or the activities of Tenant or any Tenant Party with respect to Hazardous Substances, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s operation, use or remediation thereof, or (ii) liability on the part of Landlord or any Landlord Party for Tenant’s use, storage, treatment, transportation, release, or disposal of any Hazardous Substances, it being understood that Tenant shall be solely responsible for all liability in connection therewith.

24.2.2 Landlord Notification. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with complete copies of all documents, correspondence and other written materials directed to or from, or relating to, Tenant concerning environmental issues at the Premises or the Project, including, without limitation,

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

documents relating to the release, potential release, investigation, compliance, cleanup and abatement of Hazardous Substances, and any claims, causes of action or other legal documents related to same. Within twenty-four (24) hours of any unauthorized release, spill or discharge of Hazardous Substances, in, on, or about the Premises or Project, Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord fully describing the event. Tenant shall also provide Landlord with a copy of any document or correspondence submitted by or on behalf of Tenant to any regulatory agency as a result of or in connection with the unauthorized release, spill or discharge. Within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt by Tenant of any warning, notice of violation, permit suspension or similar disciplinary measure relating to Tenant’s actual or alleged failure to comply with any environmental law, rule, regulation, ordinance or permit, Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord.

24.2.3 Remedial Work. If any investigation or monitoring of site conditions or any clean-up, containment, restoration, removal or remediation of Hazardous Substances (collectively, “Remedial Work”) is required under any Applicable Requirements as a result of the handling, use, storage, treatment, transportation or disposal of any Hazardous Substances by Tenant or any Tenant Party, then Tenant shall perform or cause to be performed the Remedial Work in compliance with Applicable Requirements or, at Landlord’s option, Landlord may cause such Remedial Work to be performed and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable costs thereof within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. All Remedial Work performed by Tenant shall be performed by one or more contractors, selected by Tenant and approved in advance in writing by Landlord, and under the supervision of a consulting engineer selected by Tenant and approved in advance in writing by Landlord. All costs and expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Tenant, including, without limitation, the charges of such contractor(s), the consulting engineer and Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work.

24.2.4 Hazardous Substances Disclosure Certificate. Prior to executing this Lease, Tenant has completed, executed and delivered to Landlord a Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate (“Initial Disclosure Certificate”), a fully completed copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit G and incorporated herein by this reference. The completed Hazardous Substances Disclosure Certificate shall be deemed incorporated into this Lease for all purposes, and Landlord shall be entitled to rely fully on the information contained therein. Tenant shall, on each anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date and at such other times as Tenant desires to handle, produce, treat, store, use, discharge or dispose of new or additional Hazardous Substances on or about the Premises that were not listed on the Initial Disclosure Certificate, complete, execute and deliver to Landlord an updated Disclosure Certificate (each, an “Updated Disclosure Certificate”) describing Tenant’s then current and proposed future uses of Hazardous Substances on or about the Premises, which Updated Disclosure Certificates shall be in the same format as that which is set forth in Exhibit G or in such updated format as Landlord may reasonably require from time to time. Tenant shall deliver an Updated Disclosure Certificate to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date Tenant intends to commence the manufacture, treatment, use, storage, handle, discharge or disposal of new or additional Hazardous Substances on or about the Premises, and Landlord shall have the right to approve or disapprove such new or additional Hazardous Substances in its sole and absolute discretion. Tenant shall make no use of Hazardous Substances on or about the Premises except

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

as described in the Initial Disclosure Certificate or as otherwise approved by Landlord in writing in accordance with this Section 24.2.

24.2.5 Mold.

(a) Because mold spores are present essentially everywhere and mold can grow in almost any moist location, Tenant acknowledges the necessity of adopting and enforcing good housekeeping practices, ventilation and vigilant moisture control within the Premises (particularly in kitchen areas, janitorial closets, bathrooms, in and around water fountains and other plumbing facilities and fixtures, break rooms, in and around outside walls, and in and around HVAC systems and associated drains) for the prevention of mold (such measures, “Mold Prevention Practices”). Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense keep and maintain the Premises in good order and condition in accordance with the Mold Prevention Practices and acknowledges that the control of moisture, and prevention of mold within the Premises, are integral to its obligations under this Lease.

(b) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall:

(1) Regularly monitor the Premises for the presence of mold and any conditions that reasonably can be expected to give rise or be attributed to mold or fungus including, but not limited to, observed or suspected instances of water damage, condensation, seepage, leaks or any other water penetration (from any source, internal or external), mold growth, mildew, repeated complaints of respiratory ailments or eye irritation by Tenant’s employees or any other occupants of the Premises, or any notice from a governmental agency of complaints regarding the indoor air quality at the Premises (the “Mold Conditions”); and

(2) Immediately notify Landlord in writing if it observes, suspects, has reason to believe mold or Mold Conditions at the Premises.

(c) In the event of suspected mold or Mold Conditions at the Premises, Landlord may cause an inspection of the Premises to be conducted, during such time as Landlord may designate, to determine if mold or Mold Conditions are present at the Premises.

24.2.6 Surrender. Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease free of (a) mold, Mold Conditions, debris, waste and (b) Hazardous Substances placed on, about or near the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, and in a condition which complies with all Environmental Laws and any additional requirements of Landlord that are reasonably necessary to protect the value of the Premises or the Project, including, without limitation, the obtaining of any closure permits or other governmental permits or approvals related to Tenant’s use of Hazardous Substances in or about the Premises. Tenant’s obligations and liabilities pursuant to the provisions of this Section 24.2 shall be in addition to any other surrender requirement in this Lease and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If it is determined by Landlord that the condition of all or any portion of the Premises and/or the Project is not in compliance with the provisions of this Lease with respect to Hazardous Substances, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then at Landlord’s

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

sole option, Landlord may require Tenant to hold over possession of the Premises until Tenant can surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition in which the Premises existed as of the Lease Commencement Date and prior to the appearance of such Hazardous Substances except for normal wear and tear, including, without limitation, the conduct or performance of any closures as required by any Environmental Laws. The burden of proof hereunder shall be upon Tenant. For purposes of this Lease, the terms “normal wear and tear”, “reasonable wear and tear” or similar phrases shall not include any deterioration in the condition or diminution of the value of any portion of the Premises and/or the Project in any manner whatsoever related to directly, or indirectly, Hazardous Substances. Any such holdover by Tenant will be with Landlord’s consent, will not be terminable by Tenant in any event or circumstance and will otherwise be subject to the provisions of Article 16 of this Lease.

Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator in which case such parking operator shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to the Landlord. Tenant’s parking rights pursuant to this Article 28 are solely for the benefit of Tenant’s own personnel and such rights may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord’s prior approval.

In addition, if at any time Tenant does not lease the entirety of the Building, Landlord reserves the right to require that the Equipment be permanently relocated on not less than forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice, to another location on the roof as Landlord shall reasonably designate.

9. Termination; Equipment As Property of Tenant. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall immediately cease using the License Area and Cable Path and shall, at its own cost and expense, remove the Equipment and restore the License Area and areas affected by the cabling installations to the condition in which they were found prior to the installation of the Equipment, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

The foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

12. Rights Personal to Tenant.

SUBORDINATION,
NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT made as of this ___ day of ___, 2007, between GERMAN AMERICAN CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation, having an address at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (hereinafter called “Lender”), and SHORETEL, INC., a California corporation, having an address at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 (hereinafter called “Tenant”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, by a lease dated as of April 20, 2007, between Xxxx XX Properties L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (hereinafter called “Landlord”), as landlord, and Tenant, as tenant (“Lease”), Landlord leased to Tenant certain premises located at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx (the “Premises”) on the property described in Schedule “A” annexed hereto and made a part hereof (the “Property”); and

WHEREAS, Lender has made a loan to Landlord, which loan is secured by, among other things, a mortgage or deed of trust (which mortgage or deed of trust, and all amendments, renewals, increases, modifications, replacements, substitutions, extensions, spreaders and consolidations thereof and all re-advances thereunder and addictions thereto, is referred to as the “Security Instrument”) encumbering the Property and recorded in the Santa Xxxxx County Official Records; and

WHEREAS, Lender and Tenant desire to confirm their understanding and agreement with respect to the Lease and the Security Instrument.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, Lender and Tenant hereby agree and covenant as follows:

1. The Lease, and all of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions thereof (including, without limitation, any right of first refusal, right of first offer, option or any similar right with respect to the sale or purchase of the Property, or any portion thereof) is, shall be and shall at all times remain and continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the lien, terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Security Instrument and to all advances and re-advances made thereunder and all sums secured thereby. This provision shall be self-operative but Tenant shall execute and deliver any additional instruments which Lender may reasonably require to effect such subordination.

2. So long as (i) Tenant is not in default (beyond any period given in the Lease to Tenant to cure such default) in the payment of rent, percentage rent or additional rent or in the performance or observance of any of the other terms, covenants, provisions or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed, and (ii) the Lease is in full force and effect: (a) Tenant’s possession of the Premises and Tenant’s rights and privileges under the Lease, or any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effected in accordance with any option therefor which is contained in the Lease, shall not be diminished or interfered with by Lender, and Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Lender for any reason whatsoever

EXHIBIT I

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

-2-

during the term of the Lease or any such extensions or renewals thereof and (b) Lender will not join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding to foreclose the Security Instrument or to enforce any rights or remedies of Lender under the Security Instrument which would cut-off, destroy, terminate or extinguish the Lease or Tenant’s interest and estate under the Lease (except to the extent required so that Tenant’s right to receive or set-off any monies or obligations owed or to be performed by any of Lender’s predecessors-in-interest shall not be enforceable thereafter against Lender or any of Lender’s successors-in-interest). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if it would be procedurally disadvantageous for Lender not to name or join Tenant as a party in a foreclosure proceeding with respect to the Security Instrument, Lender may so name or join Tenant without in any way diminishing or otherwise affecting the rights and privileges granted to, or inuring to the benefit of, Tenant under this Agreement.

3. (A) After notice is given by Lender that the Security Instrument is in default and that the rentals under the Lease should be paid to Lender, Tenant will attorn to Lender and pay to Lender, or pay in accordance with the directions of Lender, all rentals and other monies due and to become due to Landlord under the Lease or otherwise in respect of the Premises. Such payments shall be made regardless of any right of off-set, counterclaim or other defense which Tenant may have against Landlord, whether as the tenant under the Lease or otherwise.

(B) In addition, if Lender (or its nominee or designee) shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under the Lease through possession or foreclosure action, delivery of a deed or otherwise, or another person purchases the Property or the portion thereof containing the Premises upon or following foreclosure of the Security Instrument or in connection with any bankruptcy case commenced by or against Landlord, then at the request of Lender (or its nominee or designee) or such purchaser (Lender, its nominees and designees, and such purchaser, and their respective successors and assigns, each being a “Successor-Landlord”), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize Successor-Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under the Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that Successor-Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as, or as if it were, a direct lease between Successor-Landlord and Tenant upon all terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in the Lease. If the Lease shall have terminated by operation of law or otherwise as a result of or in connection with a bankruptcy case commenced by or against Landlord or a foreclosure action or proceeding or delivery of a deed in lieu, upon request of Successor-Landlord, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver a direct lease with Successor-Landlord which direct lease shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Lease (subject, however, to the provisions of clauses (i)-(v) of this paragraph 3(B) and shall be effective as of the day the Lease shall have terminated as aforesaid. Notwithstanding the continuation of the Lease, the attornment of Tenant thereunder or the execution of a direct lease between Successor-Landlord and Tenant as aforesaid, Successor- Landlord shall not:

(i) be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under the Lease;

(ii) be subject to any off-set, defense, or counterclaim which shall have theretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord;

EXHIBIT I

OAKMEAD WEST
ShoreTel, Inc.

-3-

(iii) be bound by any modification of the Lease or by any previous prepayment of rent or additional rent made more than one (1) month prior to the date same was due which Tenant might have paid to Landlord, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by Lender or Successor Landlord;

(iv) be liable for any security deposited under the Lease unless such security has been physically delivered to Lender or Successor Landlord; and

(v) be liable or obligated to comply with or fulfill any of the obligations of the Landlord under the Lease or any agreement relating thereto with respect to the construction of, or payment for, improvements on or above the Premises (or any portion thereof), leasehold improvements, tenant work letters and/or similar items.

4. Tenant agrees that, without the prior written consent of Lender, it shall not (a) amend, modify, terminate or cancel the Lease or any extensions or renewals thereof, (b) tender a surrender of the Lease, (c) make a prepayment of any rent or additional rent more than one (1) month in advance of the due date thereof, or (d) subordinate or permit the subordination of the Lease to any lien subordinate to the Security Instrument. Any such purported action without such consent shall be void as against the holder of the Security Instrument.

5. (A) Tenant shall promptly notify Lender of any default by Landlord under the Lease and of any act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction.

(B) In the event of a default by Landlord under the Lease which would give Tenant the right, immediately or after the lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, or in the event of any other act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate the Lease, Tenant shall not exercise such right (i) until Tenant has given written notice of such default, act or omission to Lender and (ii) unless Lender has failed, within sixty (60) days after Lender receives such notice to cure or remedy the default, act or omission, or, if such default, act or omission shall be one which is not reasonably capable of being remedied by Lender within such sixty (60) day period, until a reasonable period for remedying such default, act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when Lender shall have become entitled under the Security Instrument to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under the Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy), provided that Lender shall with due diligence give Tenant written notice of its intention to and shall commence and continue to, remedy such default, act or omission. If Lender cannot reasonably remedy a default, act or omission of Landlord until after Lender obtains possession of the Premises, Tenant may not terminate or cancel the Lease or claim a partial or total eviction by reason of such default, act or omission until the expiration of a reasonable period necessary for the remedy after Lender secures possession of the Premises. To the extent Lender incurs any expenses or other costs in curing or remedying such default, act or omission, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, Lender shall be subrogated to Tenant’s rights against Landlord.

6. To the extent that the Lease shall entitle Tenant to notice of the existence of any mortgage and the identity of any mortgagee or any ground lessor, this Agreement shall constitute such notice to Tenant with respect to the Security Instrument and Lender.

7. Upon and after the occurrence of a default under the Security Instrument, which is not cured after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, Lender shall be entitled, but not obligated, to exercise the claims, rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Landlord under the Lease and shall be further entitled to the benefits of, and to receive and enforce performance of, all of the covenants to be performed by Tenant under the Lease as though Lender were named therein as Landlord.

8. Anything herein or in the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Successor-Landlord shall acquire title to the Property or the portion thereof containing the Premises, Successor-Landlord shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Successor-Landlord’s then interest, if any, in the Property, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such interest, if any, of Successor-Landlord in the Property for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Successor-Landlord hereunder or under the Lease, and Successor-Landlord is hereby released or relieved of any other liability hereunder and under the Lease. Tenant agrees that, with respect to any money judgement which may be obtained or secured by Tenant against Successor-Landlord, Tenant shall look solely to the estate or interest owned by Successor-Landlord in the Property, and Tenant will not collect or attempt to collect any such judgement out of any other assets of Successor-Landlord.

9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, Tenant agrees for the benefit of Landlord and Lender that, except as permitted by, and fully in accordance with, applicable law, Tenant shall not generate, store, handle, discharge or maintain in, on or about any portion of the Property, any asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, or any other hazardous or toxic materials, wastes and substances which are defined, determined or identified as such (including, but not limited to, pesticides and petroleum products if they are defined, determined or identified as such) in any federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations (whether now existing or hereafter enacted or promulgated) or any judicial or administrative interpretation of any thereof, including any judicial or administrative interpretation of any thereof, including any judicial or administrative orders or judgments.

10. If the Lease provides that Tenant is entitled to expansion space, Successor-Landlord shall have no obligation nor any liability for failure to provide such expansion space if a prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord), by reason of a lease or leases entered into by such prior landlord with other tenants of the Property, has precluded the availability of such expansion space.

11. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Lender shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other instrument to which Lender may be a party, be or become subject to any liability or obligation to Tenant under the Lease or otherwise.

12. (A) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement satisfies and complies in all respects with the provisions of Article 18 of the Lease and that this Agreement supersedes (but only to the extent inconsistent with) the provisions of such Article and any other provision of the Lease relating to the priority or subordination of the Lease and the interests or estates created thereby to the Security Instrument.

(B) Tenant agrees to enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with any lender which shall succeed Lender as lender with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, provided such agreement is substantially similar to this Agreement. Tenant does herewith irrevocably appoint and constitute Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead to execute such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, without any obligation on the part of Lender to do so. This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as the Indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument remains unpaid. Lender agrees not to exercise its rights under the preceding two sentences if Tenant promptly enters into the subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement as required pursuant to the first sentence of this subparagraph (B).

13. (A) Any notice required or permitted to be given by Tenant to Landlord shall be simultaneously given also to Lender, and any right to Tenant dependent upon notice shall take effect only after notice is so given. Performance by Lender shall satisfy any conditions of the Lease requiring performance by Landlord, and Lender shall have a reasonable time to complete such performance as provided in Paragraph 5 hereof.

(B) All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given to Tenant or to Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given only if mailed by United States registered mail, postage prepaid, or if sent by nationally recognized overnight delivery service (such as Federal Express or United States Postal Service Express Mail), addressed as follows: to Tenant, at the address first set forth above, Attention: Director of Facilities and Chief Financial Officer, with a copy to ; to Lender, at the address first set forth above, Attention: Asset Management and General Counsel, with a copy to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx X.

All such notices shall be deemed given three (3) business days after delivery to the United States Post office registry clerk if given by registered mail, or on the next business day after delivery to an overnight delivery courier.

14. This Agreement may be modified only by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto, or their respective successors-in-interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns. The term “Lender” shall mean the then holder of the Security Instrument. The term “Landlord” shall mean the then holder of the landlord’s interest in the Lease.
