From and after the Transfer Date, all payments of Sublease Rents (regardless of the period to which the same apply) shall be made to PSI. PSI shall have no obligation to collect for BroadVision any Sublease Rents from the Subtenants applicable to periods prior to the Proration Date, nor shall PSI have any obligation to litigate or declare a default under any of the Subleases by reason of any such unpaid Sublease Rents applicable to periods prior to the Proration Date.

After the Transfer Date, BroadVision shall not be entitled to collect any delinquent Sublease Rents payable to BroadVision by any Subtenant for periods prior to the Proration Date.

7.5 Service Contracts. Amounts payable under Service Contracts which PSI has elected to assume shall be prorated on an accrual basis as of the Proration Date. BroadVision shall terminate all Service Contracts which PSI has not elected to assume hereunder, including, without limitation, payment of all charges in connection therewith.
7.6 Prorations Generally. As used herein, the “Proration Date” shall be determined as of the Transfer Date as follows: (a) if the Transfer Date occurs on or before August 6, 2004, then the Proration Date shall be the earlier to occur of (i) the Transfer Date, or (ii) August 1, 2004; or (b) if the Transfer Date occurs after August 6, 2004, then the Proration Date shall be that date which is five (5) calendar days prior to the Transfer Date. Except as set forth above, all prorations shall be made in accordance with customary practice for real estate transactions in San Mateo County, California. BroadVision and PSI shall use commercially reasonable efforts prior to the Transfer Date to prepare a schedule of prorations covering as many items to be prorated as practicable on or before the Transfer Date. To the extent that such schedules show that BroadVision has underpaid on account of Lessee’s Share of Operating Expenses and/or other Additional Rent as of the Transfer Date (subject to proration as set forth herein), such underpayment shall be paid by BroadVision to PSI on the Transfer Date; to the extent that such schedule shows that BroadVision has overpaid on account of Lessee’s Share of Operating Expenses and/or other Additional Rent as of the Transfer Date (subject to proration as set forth herein), BroadVision shall not be entitled to any reimbursement for such overpayment until the final accounting for the calendar year 2004 has been prepared and the annual reconciliation of Lessee’s Share of Operating Expenses and/or other Additional Rent has been determined in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease. To the extent that such schedule shows that any Subtenant has overpaid for operating expenses as of the Proration Date, such overpayment shall be paid by BroadVision to PSI on the Transfer Date; to the extent that such schedule shows that any Subtenant has underpaid for operating expenses as of the Proration Date, BroadVision shall not be entitled to any reimbursement for such underpayment until the final accounting for the calendar year 2004 has been prepared and the annual reconciliation of expense reimbursements payable by subtenants has been determined. All prorations shall be adjusted, if necessary, and completed after the Transfer Date as soon as final information
9
becomes available. Subsequent to the Transfer Date, PSI and BroadVision shall each render periodic accountings to the other of amounts received or paid by them subject to proration and, if such accountings show any amounts owing from one party to the other, the party owing such amount shall promptly pay it. BroadVision and PSI agree to cooperate and to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such prorations no later than thirty (30) days after the Transfer Date, except for any annual reconciliation of Lessee’s Share of Operating Expenses and/or Additional Rent payable under the Master Lease and any expense reimbursements payable by Subtenants which cannot be completed until the final accounting for the calendar year 2004 has been prepared.

Attached hereto as Exhibit F is a true, correct and complete list (the “Rent Roll”) setting forth: (i) the name of all Subtenants and a description of their respective Subleases (including all riders, supplements and amendments); (ii) the portion of the Premises and the total number of square feet of Rentable Area covered by each Sublease (including any options to expand); (iii) the date, commencement date, and expiration date (including option periods) of each Sublease; (iv) the current monthly rental payable and future increases under each Sublease (including base rent and any expense reimbursements) and other charges payable by such Subtenant; (v) the amount of all security deposits, prepaid rentals, cleaning fees and other deposits, plus any interest accrued thereon, paid by Subtenants to BroadVision or any other person relative to the Premises owed to any Subtenants pursuant to the terms of their respective Subleases (collectively, “Subtenant Security Deposits”), and the amount of all letters of credit issued to BroadVision, as beneficiary, as security for or in connection with any obligations of Subtenants under their respective Subleases (collectively, “Subtenant Letters of Credit”); (vi) whether any Subtenant is entitled to any storage space or parking; (vii) whether any rents or other charges are in arrears or prepaid and the period to which such arrearages or prepayments relate; (viii) all incentives, concessions, abatements, allowances or inducements granted to each Subtenant (including any not completed tenant improvement work), and (ix) any unpaid leasing commissions, broker’s commissions or finder’s fees with respect to each Sublease (including potential obligations in connection with the exercise of any unexercised options to expand or extend). Each Sublease (A) has been duly authorized and executed by BroadVision and, to the best of BroadVision’s knowledge, by the respective Subtenant thereunder; (B) is in full force and effect according to the terms set forth therein; (C) sets forth the entire agreement between BroadVision and the respective Subtenant thereunder with respect to the subject portion of the Subleased Premises; and (D) covers only that portion of the Premises described hereinabove with respect to such Sublease. BroadVision has not granted to any Subtenant any tenant improvement allowance or similar tenant allowance or cash payment (e.g., refurbishment allowance or moving allowance) or any early termination right, except as expressly set forth in the Subleases. All of BroadVision’s obligations under the Subleases have been performed in accordance with the requirements thereof. No Subtenant has been released or discharged, either voluntarily or involuntarily, from any future obligation related to its respective Sublease. Each Subtenant is in occupancy of the entire portion of the Subleased Premises under its respective Sublease. BroadVision has not entered into any subleases, occupancies or tenancies in effect pertaining to the Premises, except the Subleases described on the Rent Roll (true, correct and complete copies of which have been delivered to PSI by BroadVision pursuant to this Agreement), and BroadVision has no knowledge of any oral agreements between BroadVision and any other party, including the Subtenants, with respect to the occupancy of the Premises. Neither BroadVision’s interest in the Subleases nor BroadVision’s interest in any of the rentals due or to become due under the Subleases shall be assigned, encumbered or subject to any liens as of the Transfer Date.

8.6 Leasing Commissions. There are no leasing commissions, broker’s commissions or finder’s fees due and owing, or which may become due or owing, with respect to the Subleases (including potential obligations in connection with the exercise of any unexercised options to expand or extend).
