the Owned Properties (together with all rights and easements appurtenant

the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement) the terms of
the Separation Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements. Such conveyance
shall be completed on the Separation Date.
(b) Subject to the completion of the conveyance to Agilent of the relevant

same. Such lease shall be completed immediately following completion of the
transfer of the relevant Owned Property to Agilent.
SECTION 1.2 Leased Property
(a) HP shall assign or cause its applicable Subsidiary to assign, and
Agilent shall accept and assume, HP's or its Subsidiary's interest in the Leased
Properties, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and (to the extent
not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement) the terms of the
Separation Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements. Such assignment shall
be completed on the later of: (i) the Separation Date; and (ii) the earlier of
(A) the tenth (10th) business day after the relevant Lease Consent has been
granted and (B) the date agreed upon by the parties in accordance with Section
1.7(a) below.
(b) Subject to the completion of the assignment to Agilent of the relevant
Leased Property, with respect to each Leased Property which is also a Leaseback

Leased Property identified in the Colocation Sites Spreadsheet and HP shall
accept the same. Such sublease shall be completed immediately following
completion of the transfer of the relevant Leased Property to Agilent.
SECTION 1.3 Sublease Properties
HP shall grant or cause its applicable Subsidiary to grant to Agilent a

other Ancillary Agreements. Such lease shall be completed on the Separation
Date.
SECTION 1.5 Obtaining the Lease Consents
(a) Except with respect to any Properties which the parties agree should
be dealt with by the Service Level Agreements referred to in Section 1.11 below,
HP confirms that, with respect to each Leased Property, Sublease Property and
Leaseback Property which is a Leased Property, an application has been made or
will be made by the Separation Date to the relevant Landlord for the Lease
Consents required with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
(b) HP and Agilent will each use their reasonable commercial efforts to
obtain the Lease Consents, but HP shall not be required to commence judicial
proceedings for a declaration that a Lease Consent has been unreasonably
withheld or delayed, nor shall HP be required to pay any consideration in excess
of that required by the Relevant Lease or that which is typical in the open
market to obtain the relevant Lease Consent.
(c) Agilent and HP will promptly satisfy the lawful requirements of the
Landlord, and Agilent will take all steps to assist HP in obtaining the Lease
Consents, including, without limitation:
(i) if properly required by the Landlord, entering into an agreement
with the relevant Landlord to observe and perform the tenant's obligations
contained in the Relevant Lease throughout the remainder of the term of the
Relevant Lease, subject to any statutory limitations of such liability;
-2-
(ii) if properly required by the Landlord, providing a guarantee,
surety or other security (including, without limitation, a security deposit) for
the obligations of Agilent as tenant under the Relevant Lease, and otherwise
taking all steps which are necessary and which Agilent is capable of doing to
meet the lawful requirements of the Landlord so as to ensure that the Lease
Consents are obtained; and
(iii) using all reasonable commercial efforts to assist HP with
obtaining the Landlord's consent to the release of any guarantee, surety or
other security which HP or its Subsidiary may have previously provided to the
Landlord and, if required, offering the same or equivalent security to the
Landlord in order to obtain such release.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) except with respect to guarantees, sureties
or other security referenced in Section 1.5(c)(ii) above, Agilent shall not be
required to obtain a release of any obligation entered into by HP or its
Subsidiary with any Landlord or other third party with respect to any Property
and (2) Agilent shall not communicate directly with any of the Landlords unless
Agilent can show HP reasonable grounds for doing so.
(d) If, with respect to any Leased Properties, HP and Agilent are unable
to obtain a release by the Landlord of any guarantee, surety or other security
which HP or its Subsidiary has previously provided to the Landlord, Agilent
shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless HP and its Subsidiary from
and after the Separation Date against all losses, costs, claims, damages, or
liabilities incurred by HP or its Subsidiary as a result of such guarantee,
surety or other security.
SECTION 1.6 Occupation by Agilent
(a) Subject to compliance with Section 1.6(b) below, in the event that the
Actual Completion Date for any Leased Property or Sublease Property does not
occur on the Separation Date, Agilent shall, commencing on the Separation Date,
be entitled to occupy and receive the rental income from the relevant Property
(except to the extent that the same is a Retained Part) as a licensee upon the
terms and conditions contained in HP's Lease (as to Leased Properties) or upon
the terms and conditions contained in the Sublease Form (as to Sublease
Properties). Such license shall not be revocable prior to the date for
completion as provided in Sections 1.2(a) and 1.3 unless an enforcement action
or forfeiture by the relevant Landlord due to Agilent's occupation of the
Property constituting a breach of HP's Lease cannot, in the reasonable opinion
of HP, be avoided other than by requiring Agilent to immediately vacate the
relevant Property, in which case HP may by notice to Agilent immediately require
Agilent to vacate the relevant Property. Agilent will be responsible for all
costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by HP or its applicable Subsidiary as a
consequence of such occupation, except for any losses, claims, costs, demands
and liabilities incurred by HP or its Subsidiary as a result of any enforcement
action taken by the Landlord against HP or its Subsidiary with respect to any
breach by HP or its Subsidiary of the Relevant Lease in permitting Agilent to so
occupy the Property without obtaining the required Lease Consent, for which HP
or its Subsidiary shall be solely responsible. Agilent shall not be entitled to
make any claim or demand against, or obtain reimbursement from, HP or its
applicable Subsidiary with respect to any costs, losses, claims, liabilities or
damages incurred by Agilent as a consequence of being obliged to vacate the
Property or in obtaining alternative premises, including, without limitation,
any enforcement action which a Landlord may take against Agilent.
-3-
(b) In the event that the Actual Completion Date for any Leased Property
or Sublease Property does not occur on the Separation Date, whether or not
Agilent occupies a Property as licensee as provided in Section 1.6(a) above,
Agilent shall, effective as of the Separation Date, (i) pay HP all rents,
service charges, insurance premiums and other sums payable by HP or its
applicable Subsidiary under any Relevant Lease (as to Leased Properties) or
under the Sublease Form (as to Sublease Properties), (ii) observe the tenant's
covenants, obligations and conditions contained in HP's Lease (as to Leased
Properties) or in the Sublease Form (as to Sublease Properties) and (iii)
indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless HP and its applicable Subsidiary
from and against all losses, costs, claims, damages and liabilities arising on
account of any breach thereof by Agilent.
(c) HP shall supply promptly to Agilent copies of all invoices, demands,
notices and other communications received by HP or its or its applicable
Subsidiaries or agents in connection with any of the matters for which Agilent
may be liable to make any payment or perform any obligation pursuant to Section
1.6(b), and shall, at Agilent's cost, take any steps and pass on any objections
which Agilent may have in connection with any such matters. Agilent shall
promptly supply to HP any notices, demands, invoices and other communications
received by Agilent or its agents from any Landlord while Agilent occupies any
Property without the relevant Lease Consent.
SECTION 1.7 Obligation to Complete
(a) If, with respect to any Leased Property or Sublease Property, at any
time the relevant Lease Consent is formally and unconditionally refused in
writing, HP and Agilent shall commence good faith negotiations and use
commercially reasonable efforts to determine how to allocate the applicable
Property, based on the relative importance of the applicable Property to the
operations of each party, the size of the applicable Property, the number of
employees of each party at the applicable Property and the potential risk and
liability to each party in the event an enforcement action is brought by the
applicable Landlord. Such commercially reasonable efforts shall include
consideration of alternate structures to accommodate the needs of both parties
and the allocation of the costs thereof, including entering into amendments of
the size, term or other terms of the Relevant Lease, restructuring a proposed
lease assignment to be a sublease and relocating one party. If the parties are
unable to agree upon an allocation of the Property within fifteen (15) days
after commencement of negotiations between the parties as described above, then
either party may, by delivering written notice to the other, require that the
matter be referred to the Chief Financial Officers of both parties. In such
event, the Chief Financial Officers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
determine the allocation of the Property, including having a meeting or
telephone conference within ten (10) days thereafter. If the parties are unable
to agree upon the allocation of an applicable Property within fifteen (15) days
after the matter is referred to the Chief Financial Officers of the parties as
described above, the disposition of the applicable Property and the risks
associated therewith shall be allocated between the parties as set forth in
subparts (b) and (c) of this section below.
(b) If, with respect to any Leased Property, the parties are unable to
agree upon the allocation of a Property as set forth in Section 1.7(a), HP may
by written notice to Agilent elect to apply to the relevant Landlord for consent
to sublease all of the relevant Property to Agilent for the remainder of the
Relevant Lease term less three (3) days at a rent equal to the rent from time to
time under the
-4-
Relevant Lease, but otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions as
the Relevant Lease. If HP makes such an election, until such time as the
relevant Lease Consent is obtained and a sublease is completed, the provisions
of Section 1.6 will apply and, on the grant of the Lease Consent required to
sublease the Leased Property in question, HP shall sublease or cause its
applicable Subsidiary to sublease to Agilent the relevant Property in accordance
with Section 1.3.
(c) If the parties are unable to agree upon the allocation of a Property
as set forth in Section 1.7(a) and HP does not make an election pursuant to
Section 1.7(b) above, HP may elect by written notice to Agilent to require
Agilent to vacate the relevant Property immediately or by such other date as may
be specified in the notice served by HP (the "Notice Date"), in which case
Agilent shall vacate the relevant Property on the Notice Date but shall
indemnify HP and its applicable Subsidiary from and against all costs, claims,
losses, liabilities and damages in relation to the relevant Property arising
from and including the Separation Date to and including the later of the Notice
Date and date on which Agilent vacates the relevant Property, except for any
costs, losses, damages, claims and liabilities incurred by HP or its Subsidiary
with respect to any enforcement action taken by the Landlord against HP or its
Subsidiary with respect to any breach by HP or its Subsidiary of the Relevant
Lease in permitting Agilent to so occupy the Property without obtaining the
required Lease Consent. Agilent shall not be entitled to make any claim or
demand against or obtain reimbursement from HP or its applicable Subsidiary with
respect to any costs, losses, claims, liabilities or damages incurred by Agilent
as a consequence of being obliged to vacate the Property or obtaining
alternative premises, including, without limitation, any enforcement action
which a Landlord may take against Agilent.
SECTION 1.8 Form of Transfer
(a) The transfer or assignment to Agilent of each relevant Owned Property
and Leased Property shall be in substantially the form attached in Schedule 1 or
2, as applicable, with such amendments as are reasonably required by HP with
respect to a particular Property, including, without limitation, in all cases
where a relevant Landlord has required a guarantor or surety to guarantee the
obligations of Agilent contained in the relevant Lease Consent or any other
document which Agilent is required to complete, the giving of such guarantee by
a guarantor or surety, and the giving by Agilent and any guarantor or surety of
Agilent's obligations of direct obligations to HP or third parties where
required under the terms of any of the Lease Consent or any covenant, condition,
restriction, easement, lease or other encumbrance to which the Property is
subject.
(b) The subleases to be granted to Agilent with respect to the Sublease
Properties shall be substantially in the form of the Sublease Form and shall
include such amendments which in the reasonable opinion of HP are necessary with
respect to a particular Property or the relevant Lease Consent. Such amendments
shall be submitted to Agilent for approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(c) The leases and subleases to be granted by Agilent to HP with respect
to the Leaseback Properties shall be substantially in the form of the Lease Form
or the Sublease Form, as applicable, with such amendments as are, in the
reasonable opinion of HP, necessary with respect to a particular Property. Such
amendments shall be submitted to Agilent for approval, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld.
-5-
(d) The leases to be granted to Agilent with respect to the New Lease
shall be substantially in the form of the Lease Form and shall include such
amendments which in the reasonable opinion of HP are necessary with respect to a
particular Property. Such amendments shall be submitted to Agilent for approval,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
SECTION 1.9 Casualty; Lease Termination
The parties hereto shall grant and accept transfers, assignments, leases or
subleases of the Properties as described in this Agreement, regardless of any
casualty damage or other change in the condition of the Properties. In addition,
subject to HP's obligations in Section 5.6 of the Separation Agreement, in the
event that HP's Lease with respect to a Leased Property or a Sublease Property
is terminated prior to the Separation Date, (a) HP shall not be required to
assign or sublease such Property, (b) Agilent shall not be required to accept an
assignment or sublease of such Property and (c) neither party shall have any
further liability with respect to such Property hereunder.

benefit of, the other party (and the other party shall accept) such Real Estate
Services as each party currently supplies to or performs for the benefit of the
other with respect to such Properties, on the same terms and conditions as
currently apply, and at the cost and other terms as set forth in the Service
Level Agreements.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties agree and
acknowledge that there may be circumstances in which the parties mutually agree
that a formal lease or sublease will not be entered into in order to establish
shared occupancy of a Property, in which case such occupancy shall be (and the
Service Level Agreement referenced in Section 1.11(a) above shall provide that
the applicable party may occupy the relevant Property) on the terms and
conditions set forth in Sections 2-28 of the Lease Form or the terms and
conditions set forth in Sections 3 through the first sentence of Section 17 of
the Sublease Form, respectively.
SECTION 1.12 Adjustments
(a) HP and Agilent each acknowledge and agree that Additional Properties
may be acquired by HP prior to the Separation Date. Such Additional Properties
shall be treated hereunder as Owned Properties, Leased Properties, Sublease
Properties, New Lease Properties and/or Leaseback Properties by mutual agreement
of the parties based on whether the Additional Property was acquired by or for
the Agilent Business or HP's other businesses. In the event that the parties are
-6-
unable to agree by the Separation Date as to how any Additional Property is to
be treated, the matter shall be determined in accordance with the procedure set
forth in Section 1.7(a) above. In the event that the parties are unable to agree
within ten (10) business days of the Separation Date as to the allocation of an
Additional Property, the matter in dispute shall be determined in accordance
with the following guidelines:

of the total area for the purposes of the Agilent Business shall be treated as
Owned Properties or Leased Properties (as appropriate) and the part which is not

Leaseback Property; and
(ii) Properties which are occupied as to less than fifty percent (50%)
for the purposes of the Agilent Business shall be treated as Sublease Properties
or New Lease Properties (as appropriate).
(b) Following agreement or determination with respect to the Additional
Properties, the parties shall enter into and complete all such documents as may
be required to give effect to such agreement or determination.
(c) HP and Agilent each acknowledge and agree that their respective
requirements with regard to each of the Properties may alter between the date of
this Agreement and the Separation Date, in which case the parties may mutually
agree in writing to re-characterize the relevant Property as an Owned Property,
Leased Property, Sublease Property, New Lease Property and/or Leaseback Property
as appropriate.
SECTION 1.13 Costs
HP shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with
obtaining the Lease Consents, including, without limitation, Landlord's consent

or leaseback, as the case may be, such property, as specified in such

terms of this Agreement and the terms of such local agreements, the terms of the
local agreements shall prevail.
