In the event of any assignment of the Lease (other than a Permitted Assignment) or subletting (other than a Permitted Sublease) of the Premises or any part thereof, the First Extension Option shall automatically terminate and shall thereafter be null and void.

(d) Tenant's exercise of the First Extension Option shall, if Landlord so elects in its absolute discretion, be ineffective in the event that a Default by Tenant remains uncured at the time of delivery of the First Exercise Notice or at the commencement of the First Extension Period.

If Tenant timely and properly exercises its Second Extension Option, the Lease Term shall be extended for the Second Extension Period upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease, as amended, except that the rent for the Second Extension Period shall be as provided in subsection 41.2(a) and Tenant shall have no further options to extend the Lease Term.

41.3 Fair Market Rental Value. The provisions of this Section shall apply in any instance in which this Lease provides that the Fair Market Rental Value is to apply.

(a) "Fair Market Rental Value" means the annual amount per square foot that a willing tenant would pay and a willing landlord would accept in arm's length negotiations, without any additional inducements, for an extension of a lease of the applicable space on the applicable terms and conditions for the applicable period of time (other than Base Year, which shall be the calendar year in which the first day of the applicable Extension Period falls). Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined by Landlord considering the most recent new direct leases (and market renewals and extensions, if applicable) in the Building and in comparable buildings owned or managed by Landlord that are near the Building, and consideration shall be given to the most recent new direct leases (and market renewals and extensions, if applicable) in other comparable buildings in the Harbor Bay area.

(b) In determining the rental rate of comparable space, the parties shall include all escalations and take into consideration the following concessions:

(i) Rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted to tenants in connection with the comparable space;

(ii) Tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for the comparable space, taking into account the value of the existing improvements in the Premises, based on the age, quality, and layout of the improvements.

(c) If in determining the Fair Market Rental Value the parties determine that the economic terms of leases of comparable space include a tenant improvement allowance, Landlord may, at Landlord's sole option, elect to do the following:

(i) Grant some or all of the value of the tenant improvement allowance as an allowance for the refurbishment of the Premises; and

 

-4-


(ii) Reduce the Basic Annual Rent component of the Fair Market Rental Value to be an effective rental rate that takes into consideration the total dollar value of that portion of the tenant improvement allowance that Landlord has elected not to grant to Tenant (in which case that portion of the tenant improvement allowance evidenced in the effective rental rate shall not be granted to Tenant).

41.4 Resolving Disagreement Over Fair Market Rental Value. The determination of Fair Market Rental Value shall be as provided this Section 41.4.

(a) Negotiated Agreement. Landlord and Tenant shall diligently attempt in good faith to agree on the Fair Market Rental Value on or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Option (the "Outside Agreement Date").

(b) Parties' Separate Determinations. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on or before the Outside Agreement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall each make a separate determination of the Fair Market Rental Value and notify the other party of this determination within five (5) days after the Outside Agreement Date.

(i) Two Determinations. If each party makes a timely determination of the Fair Market Rental Value, those determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with subsection (c).

(ii) One Determination. If Landlord or Tenant fails to make a determination of the Fair Market Rental Value within the five-day period, that failure shall be conclusively considered to be that party's approval of the Fair Market Rental Value submitted within the five-day period by the other party.

(c) Arbitration. If both parties make timely individual determinations of the Fair Market Rental Value under subsection (b), the Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined by arbitration under this subsection (c).

(i) Scope of Arbitration. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited to the sole issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Rental Value is the closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Value as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 41.3.

(ii) Qualifications of Arbitrator(s). The arbitrators (i) shall be (A) a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers with not less than 10 years of experience in the appraisal of improved office, R&D and office/laboratory real estate in the greater San Francisco Bay metropolitan area, or (B) a licensed commercial real estate broker with not less than 15 years experience representing landlords and/or tenants in the leasing of high tech or life sciences space in the greater San Francisco Bay metropolitan area, (ii) devoting substantially all of their time to professional appraisal or brokerage work, as applicable, at the time of appointment and (iii) be in all respects impartial and disinterested.

 

-5-


(iii) Parties' Appointment of Arbitrators. Within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator and notify the other party of the arbitrator's name and business address.

(iv) Appointment of Third Arbitrator. If each party timely appoints an arbitrator, the two (2) arbitrators shall, within ten (10) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, agree on and appoint a third arbitrator (who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth above for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators) and provide notice to Landlord and Tenant of the arbitrator's name and business address.

(v) Arbitrators' Decision. Within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third arbitrator, the three (3) arbitrators shall decide whether the parties will use Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Rental Value and shall notify Landlord and Tenant of their decision. The decision of the majority the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.

(vi) If Only One Arbitrator is Appointed. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, the arbitrator timely appointed by one of them shall reach a decision and notify Landlord and Tenant of that decision within thirty (30) days after the arbitrator's appointment. The arbitrator's decision shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.

(vii) If Only Two Arbitrators Are Appointed. If each party appoints an arbitrator in a timely manner, but the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree on and appoint a third arbitrator within the required period, the arbitrators shall be dismissed without delay and the issue of Fair Market Rental Value shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the real estate arbitration rules of JAMS, subject to the provisions of this section.

(viii) If No Arbitrator Is Appointed. If Landlord and Tenant each fail to appoint an arbitrator in a timely manner, the matter to be decided shall be submitted without delay to binding arbitration under the real estate arbitration rules of JAMS subject the provisions of this Section 41.4(c).

(ix) Cost of Arbitration. The cost of the arbitration shall be paid by the losing party."

7. The following new Sections 44, 45 and 46 are added to the Lease:

"44. Tenant's Right of First Offer.

44.1 As used herein, "Offer Space" means space in the buildings known as 1301 Harbor Bay Parkway and 1431 Harbor Bay Parkway, Alameda, California, so long as they are owned by Landlord. Tenant shall have a continuing right of first offer on any Available (as defined below) Offer Space during the Term. Landlord may from time to time give Tenant a written notice (the "Availability Notice") identifying the particular Offer Space (the "Specific Offer Space") that is Available (as defined below). As used herein, "Available" means that the space (i) is not part of the Premises, (ii) is not then subject to a lease, (iii) is not then subject to any rights of a tenant to renew their lease or expand their premises as set forth in their lease, and (iv) is not then subject to any negotiations between Landlord and an existing tenant of that space. Tenant's rights under this Section 44 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon Tenant's delivery of notice of its exercise of its termination right under Section 45 of this Lease.

44.2 Tenant may inform Landlord (the "Request Notice") not more than twice in any twelve (12) month period and not within three (3) months after receipt of an Availability Notice that Tenant desires to lease additional space. Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days of receiving the properly given Request Notice, deliver to Tenant an Availability Notice identifying Specific Offer Space that is Available.

44.3 The location and configuration of the Specific Offer Space shall be determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion; provided that Landlord shall have no obligations to designate Specific Offer Space that would result in any space not included in the Specific Offer Space being not Configured For Leasing (as defined below). For purposes of this Lease, "Configured For Leasing" means the applicable space must have convenient access to the central corridor on the applicable floor and must have a size and configuration that complies with all applicable building codes and other laws and is such that Landlord judges, in its reasonable discretion, that Landlord will be able to lease such space to a third party. The Availability Notice shall:

(a) Describe the particular Specific Offer Space (including rentable area, usable area and location);

(b) Include an attached floor plan identifying such space;

(c) State the date (the "Specific Offer Space Delivery Date") the space will be available for delivery to Tenant; and

(d) Specify the Basic Annual Rent for the Specific Offer Space.

(e) Specify the increase in the security deposit that will apply to reflect the addition of the Specific Offer Space to the Premises.

(f) If the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date is after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Extension Commencement Date, specify the length of the term of the leasing of the Specific Offer Space that will be available (the "Specific Offer Space Term").

 

-7-


44.4 If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant's rights set forth in this Article 44 with respect to the Specific Offer Space, then within five (5) business days of delivery of the Availability Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver irrevocable notice to Landlord (the "First Offer Exercise Notice") offering to lease the Specific Offer Space on the terms and conditions as may be specified by Landlord in the Availability Notice.

44.5 In the event Tenant fails to give a First Offer Exercise Notice in response to any Availability Notice, Tenant shall have no further rights to receive an Availability Notice for such Specific Offer Space and Tenant's rights under this Article 44 shall terminate with respect to such Specific Offer Space and Landlord shall be free to lease the Specific Offer Space to anyone on any terms at any time during the Term, without any obligation to provide Tenant with any further right to lease that Specific Offer Space.

44.6 If Tenant timely and validly gives the First Offer Exercise Notice, then beginning on the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date and continuing (i) if the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date is on or before the third (3rd) anniversary of the Extension Commencement Date, for the balance of the Term (including any extensions), or (ii) if the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date is after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Extension Commencement Date, for the Specific Offer Space Term:

(a) The Specific Offer Space shall be part of the Premises under this Lease (so that the term "Premises" in this Lease shall refer to the space in the Premises immediately before the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date plus the Specific Offer Space).

(b) Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses shall be adjusted to reflect the increased rentable area of the Premises.

(c) Basic Annual Rent for the Specific Offer Space shall be as specified in the Availability Notice.

(d) Tenant's lease of the Specific Offer Space shall be on the same terms and conditions as affect the original Premises from time to time, except as otherwise provided in this section. Tenant's obligation to pay Rent with respect to the Specific Offer Space shall begin on the Offer Space Delivery Date. The Specific Offer Space shall be leased to Tenant in its "as-is" condition and Landlord shall not be required to construct improvements in, or contribute any tenant improvement allowance for, the Specific Offer Space. Tenant's construction of any improvements in the Specific Offer Space shall comply with the terms of this Lease concerning alterations.

(e) If requested by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall confirm in writing the addition of the Specific Offer Space to the Premises on the terms and conditions set forth in this section, but Tenant's failure to execute or deliver such written confirmation shall not affect the enforceability of the First Offer Exercise Notice.

 

-8-


44.7 Tenant's rights and Landlord's obligations under this Article 44 are expressly subject to and conditioned upon there not existing a Default by Tenant under this Lease, either at the time of delivery of the First Offer Exercise Notice or at the time the Specific Offer Space is to be added to the Premises.

44.8 It is understood and agreed that Tenant's rights under this Article 41 are personal to Tenant and not transferable except in connection with a Permitted Assignment. In the event of any assignment of the Lease (other than a Permitted Assignment) or subletting (other than a Permitted Sublease) of the Premises or any part thereof, this expansion right shall automatically terminate and shall thereafter be null and void.

45. Right to Terminate. As used in this Lease, the term "1401 Fourth Amendment" means the Fourth Amendment to Lease that adds this Section 45 to this Lease. Provided Tenant is not in Default beyond any applicable cure periods under any provision of this Lease at the time Tenant exercises its termination right, Tenant shall have the one-time right to terminate this Lease effective as of April 30, 2014 (the "Early Termination Date") upon satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in this Section 45. Tenant's right to terminate the Lease under this Section 45 shall not apply to Tenant's lease of any Specific Offer Space. If Tenant wishes to exercise its right to terminate this Lease, Tenant must (a) deliver written notice to Landlord by no later than November 30, 2013 (the "Termination Notice Date") of its election to terminate; and (b) pay to Landlord in good funds on or before the Termination Notice Date the Early Termination Fee (as defined below). If Tenant exercises its termination right in accordance with the terms of this Section 45, (a) the Early Termination Date shall thereafter be deemed the effective termination date for all purposes under this Lease, (b) any rights of Tenant to expand the Premises or extend the term of this Lease shall be of no further force or effect and (c) Tenant shall vacate the Premises prior to the Early Termination Date and shall comply with all terms of this Lease with respect to the condition of the Premises as of the Expiration Date and the terms of surrender thereof. As used herein, the term "Early Termination Fee" means an amount equal to 40% of the sum of (a) $537,491.00 (the "Commission Amount"), plus (b) the amount of the Basic Allowance (as defined in the 1401 Fourth Amendment) actually used by Tenant (whether for construction, rent credits or to pay this Early Termination Fee), plus (c) an amount equal to 4% of the Commission Amount and the Basic Allowance actually used by Tenant. To the extent the Basic Allowance has not been disbursed under the 1401 Fourth Amendment, then Tenant may elect by notice to Landlord on or before the Termination Notice Date to apply the unfunded amount of the Basic Allowance to payment of the Early Termination Fee under this Section 45. For example, if no portion of the Basic Allowance has been funded to reimburse Tenant for Tenant's Work Costs or applied to the payment of Basic Rent, the entire Basic Allowance may be applied by Tenant to payment of the Early Termination Fee. To the extent Tenant elects to apply all or any portion of the Basic Allowance to payment of the Early Termination Fee, (i) Tenant shall have no further right to receive such portion of the Basic Allowance applied against the Early Termination Fee or apply the portion of the Basic Allowance applied against the Early Termination Fee to payment of Basic Rent under the 1401 Fourth Amendment, (ii) the amount of the remaining Basic Allowance shall be reduced by the amount of the Early Termination Fee that would have been payable with respect to that remaining portion had it been applied in full against the Early Termination Fee on the Termination Notice Date (the amount of the remaining Basic Allowance after that reduction being referred to as the "Net Remaining Basic Allowance"), and (iii) Tenant may apply all or any portion of the Net Remaining Basic Allowance against subsequent Basic Rent under the 1401 Fourth Amendment.

46. Right to Expand. As used in this Lease, (a) the term "1311 Building" means the building commonly known as 1311 Harbor Bay Parkway, Alameda, California 94502, and (b) the term "Existing 1311 Lease" means that certain Lease Agreement dated March 27, 2001, as amended by a First Amendment to Lease dated April 12, 2002, a Second Amendment to Lease dated July 16, 2004, and a Third Amendment to Lease dated April 27, 2005, as further amended by the 1401 Fourth Amendment. Provided Tenant is not in Default beyond any applicable cure periods under any provision of this Lease at the time Tenant exercises such option to expand, Tenant shall have the option to lease the 1311 Building by written notice to Landlord no later than March 15, 2011. If Tenant timely exercises its right to lease the 1311 Building as set forth herein, then, within forty-five (45) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Existing 1311 Lease (the "Expansion Space Amendment"), which Expansion Space Amendment shall be upon substantially the same terms and conditions as 1401 Fourth Amendment with the following modifications:

46.1 Defined terms used in the 1401 Fourth Amendment and not specifically defined in the 1401 Fourth Amendment shall be revised to conform to the corresponding defined terms in the 1311 Lease. For example, references to "Basic Annual Rent" shall instead be references to "Base Rent."

46.4 The right to terminate contained in Article 45, added to this Lease pursuant to Section 7 of the 1401 Fourth Amendment, shall apply, except that the amount of the Early Termination Fee shall be calculated based on the commissions and tenant improvement allowance applicable to the 1311 Building.

46.5 Sections 2, 8 and 20 of the 1401 Fourth Amendment shall not be included in the Expansion Space Amendment.

"Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to deliver to Tenant from any future mortgagee or beneficiary a written subordination and non-disturbance agreement in recordable form reasonably acceptable to such mortgagee or beneficiary and Tenant providing that so long as Tenant performs all of the terms of this Lease, Tenant's possession under this Lease shall not be disturbed and Tenant shall not be joined by the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust in any action or proceeding to foreclose thereunder, except where such is necessary for jurisdictional or procedural reasons. In the event that Tenant proposes or attempts to negotiate material deviations from the lender's commercially reasonable form of subordination and non-disturbance agreement in a manner that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant shall pay all costs incurred by Landlord in obtaining that subordination and non-disturbance agreement after the initial delivery of the lender's form of subordination and non-disturbance agreement to Tenant."

Upon the completion of Tenant's Work, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written notice indicating that Tenant has completed the construction and performance of Tenant's Work in accordance with the provisions of Article 17 of the Lease, as amended by this Agreement, which notice shall be accompanied by all of the following (collectively, "Tenant's Completion Notice"): (i) copies of paid invoices and a final, unconditional lien waiver from Tenant's general contractor covering all of Tenant's Work in a form that complies with applicable laws, showing that full payment has been received for the construction of Tenant's Work; (ii) if applicable, certification from Tenant's architect that all of Tenant's Work has been completed substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor (approved by Landlord, to the extent Landlord's approval of such plans and specifications was required under Article 17 of the Lease, as amended by this Agreement) and all local governmental and quasi-governmental authorities with jurisdiction; and (iii) a copy of the building permit for Tenant's Work, if applicable, signed by the appropriate building inspector, indicating that Tenant's Work has been finally approved. Any portion of the Basic Allowance may be applied by Tenant to the payment of Basic Rent or to payment of the Early Termination Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease as amended, so long as Tenant has not requested that Landlord supervise the Tenant's Work, Landlord shall not charge Tenant the five percent (5%) overhead fee provided in Section 17.9 of the Lease or any fee or other charge for the supervision and/or overhead associated with the Tenant’s Work. Additionally, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, as amended, so long as Tenant uses a general contractor designated by Landlord or Landlord has otherwise agreed in writing to waive the requirement for a lien and completion bond in connection with Landlord's approval of a different general contractor, Tenant shall have no obligation to provide Landlord with a lien and completion bond in connection with Tenant’s Work. Landlord hereby approves Rossi as Tenant's general contractor and agrees that a lien and completion bond will not be required if Tenant uses Rossi as its general contractor. Landlord further agrees that prior to Tenant selecting a general contractor, Tenant may inquire of Landlord as to whether one or more proposed general contractors would be required to provide a lien and completion bond and Landlord agrees to promptly respond to that inquiry confirming to Tenant whether or not a particular general contractor will be required to provide a lien and completion bond.
