Related to Lessees Options to Renew Lease
Options to Renew Provided that no Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease exists as of the date of exercise of the applicable option or at the expiration of the initial term or preceding Option Term, and provided further that Tenant has not assigned this Lease, Tenant shall have the option to extend the initial lease term for four (4) additional, successive terms of five (5) years each (each, an "OPTION TERM"). Tenant shall exercise the option, if at all, by delivering to Landlord written notice of the exercise no sooner than fifteen (15) months nor later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term or preceding Option Term, as applicable. Tenant's right to exercise each option shall be conditioned upon Tenant delivering to Landlord with Tenant's notice of exercise, current financial reports which evidence that Tenant's financial condition on the date of exercise is equal to or better than Tenant's financial condition on the date of execution of this Lease. If Tenant's financial condition has declined in Landlord's business judgment, Landlord may refuse to accept Tenant's exercise unless Tenant agrees to provide a new Letter(s) of Credit with terms and amounts acceptable to Landlord in its business judgment to secure Tenant's obligations during the applicable Option Term. All terms, provisions, conditions and covenants of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect during the Option Terms, provided that Tenant shall have no additional option periods and the Base Rent payable during the first Lease Year of each Option Term (and for increases during the Option Term, as applicable) shall be the market rate then prevailing as projected for the commencement of the applicable Option Term, for premises comparable in size, quality and location in comparable class R&D/Office buildings throughout the Tri-Valley/Livermore area taking into account all relevant factors (the "MARKET RENT"). Base Rent for the Option Term shall be determined prior to the commencement of the applicable Option Term in the following manner: If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the market rent within sixty (60) days after Tenant gives notice of its exercise of the Option Term, then Tenant shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the option by delivering written notice within ten (10) days following the expiration of such 60-day period. In the event of such revocation, Tenant shall forfeit all rights to thereafter exercise any option under this Lease and the Lease shall terminate at the end of the initial term, or then Option Term, as applicable. If Tenant does not revoke its exercise and elects to proceed with the determination of market rent, then the monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent payable during the Option Term shall be determined by appraisal in the following manner: If Landlord and Tenant can agree on a single appraiser, then the rate set by such appraiser as set forth below shall be the Base Rent for the Option Term. If the parties cannot agree on a single appraiser, then each party, by giving written notice to the other party, shall appoint as an appraiser an experienced commercial real estate agent in the area in which the Premises are located. Said appointment shall be made within ten (10) days following the expiration of the sixty (60) day period aforesaid, and if one of the parties does not appoint an appraiser within that time, the single appraiser named shall be the sole appraiser and shall set the monthly Base Rent for the Option Term. If the two appraisers are appointed as provided herein, each shall independently prepare an estimate of the market rent within sixty (60) days. If the higher of the two estimates so determined is within ten percent (10%) of the lower estimate, then the monthly Base Rent to be paid by Tenant during the Option Term shall be the average of the amounts determined by the appraisers. If the difference between the two estimates exceeds ten percent (10%) of the lower one, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications set forth hereinabove within ten (10) days thereafter who will likewise independently estimate the market rate within sixty (60) days after the appointment. The average of the two closest appraisals shall be set as the monthly Base Rent. Each party shall pay the fees of the appraiser appointed by such party and the parties will share equally the fees of any third appraiser appointed pursuant to this Section A-2.1. Notwithstanding the above, the Base Rent payable by Tenant during each Option Term shall be in addition to all Additional Rent and other sums and charges payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the options granted herein are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned with an assignment of this Lease except in connection with an assignment to an entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant (as defined in Article 20 of this Lease) or which is a successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of Tenant's assets with Landlord's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
Option to Extend Lease Term At the expiration of the original Lease Term, Tenant may extend this Lease as to the entire Premises or a portion of the Premises for two (2) extended terms of five (5) years each (each an “Extended Term”) by giving Landlord written notice (the “Option Notice”) of its intention to do so not later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the original Lease Term, and thereafter twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the applicable Extended Term; provided, however, that Tenant is not in material default beyond any applicable notice and cure period under the Lease on the date of giving such notice or on the date of commencement of such Extended Term. The Option Notice shall set forth Tenant’s election to extend the Lease for all or a portion of the Premises. If Tenant elects to extend the Lease for only a portion of the Premises, the portion of the Premises for which Tenant elects not to extend the Lease shall be: (i) either located entirely on one floor of the Premises or located on one entire floor and a portion of the other floor; (ii) a minimum of 15,000 RSF; (iii) adjacent to a window line and easily accessible; and (iv) shall be in a readily marketable and leasable location. Landlord shall be responsible for any and all costs to separate the portion of the Premises for which Tenant elects not to extend the Lease from the remainder of the Premises such that the space is a separate easily accessible and readily marketable space promptly following the commencement of the applicable Extended Term. Any termination of the entire Lease shall result in automatic termination of this option. Tenant’s right to extend the Lease Term provided herein is personal to Tenant and may not be assigned or otherwise transferred except in connection with a permitted assignment of this Lease, including to a Tenant’s Affiliate. The Extended Term shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the following rights of Tenant during the original Lease Term shall not apply during such Extended Term unless granted as part of the Fair Market Rental: (a) any right to rent-free possession; (b) any right to further extension of the Lease Term beyond the Extended Terms set forth herein above; (c) any right to continue to pay the same Base Rent; (d) any right to additional Tenant Allowance; (e) any right to terminate the Extended Term early; (f) any right to continue to exclude HVAC Capital Expenditures; (g) cost of security for the Building; and (h) the right to the continuation of any cap on Controllable Operating Expenses from the previous year (it being understood that the Operating Expenses for the first twelve (12) months of each new Extended Term shall be the actual Operating Expenses without any cap and thereafter the cap set forth in Section 4.2(e) shall apply). Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the Base Rent during each Extended Term shall be equal to ninety-five (95%) of the Base Rent component of the “Fair Market Rental” and one hundred percent (100%) of the economic concessions, including without limitation, free rent, improvement allowance, base year and other monetary concessions, component of the Fair Market Rental for the Premises, as determined by as follows:
Landlord’s Options Landlord shall have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Tenant within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of a Transfer Notice accompanied by the other information described in Section 12.1, to: (a) permit Tenant to Transfer the Premises; or (b) disapprove (provided, Landlord’s disapproval must be in accordance with Section 12.1 hereof) the Tenant’s Transfer of the Premises and to continue the Lease in full force and effect as to the entire Premises; or (c) in the event of (i) a proposed assignment of the Lease or (ii) a sublease of more than 50% of the Premises (taking into account all sublets in the aggregate) for all or substantially all of the balance of the Term, terminate the Lease as of the proposed effective date of the Transfer set forth in Tenant’s Transfer Notice (a “Recapture”); provided, however, that if Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s intention to Recapture the Premises, Tenant may elect to withdraw its Transfer Notice by written notice of such election delivered to Landlord within ten (10) business days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Recapture notice. If Landlord approves of the proposed Transfer pursuant to Section 12.1 above, Tenant may enter into the proposed Transfer with such proposed Transferee subject to the following conditions: (i) the Transfer shall be on the same terms set forth in the Transfer Notice; and (ii) no Transfer shall be valid and no Transferee shall take possession of the Premises until an executed counterpart of the assignment, sublease or other instrument effecting the Transfer (in the form approved by Landlord) has been delivered to Landlord pursuant to which the Transferee shall expressly assume all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease applicable to that portion of the Premises then being transferred (provided that, for a subtenant, the rental obligations shall be governed by the terms of the applicable sublease). If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease (or in the case of a partial sublet to release Tenant with respect to a portion of the Premises) as provided above, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises on the proposed effective date of the Transfer set forth in Tenant’s Transfer Notice, and thereafter neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further liability with respect thereto, except with respect to those matters that expressly survive the termination of the Lease.
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, Building and/or Project, in which event this Lease shall terminate, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the damage, such notice will include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises, but this Lease may be so terminated 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 or that portion of the proceeds from Landlord’s insurance policies allocable to the Building or the Project, as the case may be; (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 such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or a portion thereof or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy and as a result of such damage the Premises are unfit for occupancy, and provided that Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, and either (a) the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s contractor, be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after being commenced, or (b) the damage occurs during the last twelve months of the Lease Term and will reasonably require in excess of ninety (90) days to repair, 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.
Landlord’s Option At any time within ten (10) days after Landlord's receipt of the notice specified in Section 14.2, Landlord may by notice to Tenant elect to (a) terminate this Lease as to the portion (including all) of the Premises that is specified in Tenant's notice, with a proportionate abatement in the Base Rent, (b) consent to the Sublease or Assignment, or (c) disapprove the Sublease or Assignment; Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the Assignment or Sublease. Tenant shall pay as additional rent, Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the review of any proposed Assignment or Sublease. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which all sums payable to Tenant in connection with such Assignment or Sublease exceed the total of (a) Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, (b) reasonable leasing commission incurred by Tenant in connection therewith, and (c) the cost of any Alterations reasonably incurred in connection therewith, and (d) advertisement costs. If Landlord consents to the Sublease or Assignment within such ten (10) day period, Tenant may thereafter within sixty (60) days after Landlord's consent enter into such Assignment or Sublease with such approved assignee or subtenant upon the terms and conditions set forth in the notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.2. No Assignment or Sublease shall be binding on Landlord until Tenant delivers an executed copy of such Assignment or Sublease to Landlord. Notwithstanding Section 14.3 or any other provision to the contrary, in the event Landlord exercises its recapture right under this Section 14.3, Tenant shall have the right to rescind its notice for request to sublease, assign or transfer within three (3) business days following receipt of Landlord's notice of recapture.
Prime Lease (a) It is understood that Sublandlord is a sublandlord and that Sublandlord grants this Sublease under and by virtue of its rights under the Prime Lease and that this Sublease is subordinate and subject to the Prime Lease. Except as set forth below, the provisions of the Prime Lease are incorporated herein by reference, and made a part hereof, except that: (i) each reference in such incorporated sections to “Lease” shall be deemed a reference to this “Sublease”; (ii) each reference to the “Premises” shall be deemed a reference to the “Subleased Premises”; (iii) each reference to “Landlord” shall be deemed a reference to “Sublandlord” and each reference to “Tenant” shall be deemed a reference to “Subtenant”, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein; (iv) with respect to work, services, utilities, electricity, repairs (including, without limitation, repairs of any damage caused by Prime Landlord), restoration, insurance, indemnities, reimbursements, title, representations, warranties, covenants or the performance of any other obligation of the “Landlord” under the Prime Lease, whether or not incorporated herein, (A) reference to “Landlord” shall be deemed a reference solely to Landlord, and (B) the sole obligation of Sublandlord shall be to request the same in writing from Prime Landlord as and when requested to do so by Subtenant, and to use Sublandlord’s reasonable efforts (not including the payment of money or the incurring of any liabilities) to obtain Prime Landlord’s performance (provided, however, that Sublandlord shall not be required to institute any legal proceedings against Prime Landlord unless Subtenant pays all costs, and indemnifies, defends and holds Sublandlord harmless against all losses, costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees), claims, liabilities and damages, in connection therewith); (v) with respect to any obligation of Subtenant to be performed under this Sublease, wherever the Prime Lease grants to the “Tenant” a specified number of days to perform its obligations under the Prime Lease (including, without limitation, curing any defaults), Subtenant shall have three (3) fewer calendar days (or such lesser time as may be provided in this Sublease) to perform the obligation, but in no case shall Subtenant have less than three (3) business days to perform the obligation; (vi) with respect to any approval or consent required to be obtained from the “Landlord” under the Prime Lease, such approval or consent must be obtained from both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord, and Sublandlord’s withholding of approval or consent shall in all events be deemed reasonable if for any reason Prime Landlord’s approval or consent is not obtained, and if Prime Landlord’s approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned and/or delayed under the Prime Lease, then Sublandlord’s consent shall likewise not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned and/or delayed, as the case may be; (vii) in any case where the “Landlord” reserves or is granted the right to manage, supervise, control, repair, alter, regulate the use of, enter or use the Premises or any areas beneath, above or adjacent thereto, such reservation or grant of right of entry shall be deemed to be for the benefit of both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord; (viii) in any case where “Tenant” is to indemnify, release or waive claims against “Landlord”, such indemnity, release or waiver shall be deemed to run from Subtenant to both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord; (ix) in any case where “Tenant” is to execute and deliver certain documents or notices to “Landlord”, such obligation shall be deemed to run from Subtenant to both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord; (x) all payments shall be made to Sublandlord, except as otherwise expressly required by the Prime Lease or Prime Landlord’s Consent; (xi) Subtenant shall pay all consent and review fees described in the Prime Lease; (xii) Subtenant shall not have the right to terminate this Sublease as to any or all of the Subleased Premises due to casualty or condemnation unless Sublandlord has such right (and opts to exercise such right) under the Prime Lease; and (xiii) the following provisions of the Prime Lease are not incorporated herein: Section 2.1; Section 2.2; Section 2.3; Section 2.4; Section 2.5; Section 2.6; Section 2.8; Section 2.10; Section 3; Section 4; Section 7.1; Section 8; Section 11; Section 12.1; Section 33; Section 41; Section 42; Exhibit A; Exhibit B; Exhibit D; and Exhibit F; and with respect to the First Amendment: Section 3; Section 5; Section 6; Section 8; Section 9; Section 10; Section 11; Section 12; Section 13; Section 15; and any other provisions that are contrary to the terms of this Sublease. For purposes of this Sublease, all references to “Prime Lease” hereunder shall refer to the Prime Lease, excluding those Sections set forth in Section 2(a)(xiii). As between Sublandlord and Subtenant, the provisions of Section 35.1 shall not apply, but shall apply as between Sublandlord and Prime Landlord, and Subtenant and Prime Landlord. Subtenant expressly assumes and agrees to comply with all provisions of the Prime Lease and perform all of the obligations on the part of the “Tenant” to be performed under the Prime Lease (except where such obligation arises by reason of a (i) breach of Sublandlord under this Sublease, or (ii) breach of Sublandlord under the Prime Lease (other than a breach of the Prime Lease caused by Subtenant’s breach of its obligations under this Sublease)). In the event that the Prime Lease is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then subject to the provisions of, and Prime Landlord’s rights under the Prime Lease, this Sublease shall terminate simultaneously with such termination without any liability of Sublandlord to Subtenant. Subject to Subtenant’s performance of its obligations under this Sublease, Sublandlord shall not default in its monetary obligations under the Prime Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure period).
Expansion Options Tenant shall have expansion rights as to spaces described below. Option Spaces “1”, “2” and “3” below shall be subject to Landlord’s and Tenant’s final approval of exact location of such Option Space based upon the Tenant’s final determination of the exact location and size of the Leased Premises, which, as set forth herein, shall be determined no later than March 1, 2013, it being intended by both parties that Option Space 1 shall be a full floor and shall be contiguous to the Leased Premises and that Option Space 2 shall be a full floor and shall be contiguous to the Leased Premises or to Option Space 1. For example only, if the initial Leased Premises includes premises on the 5th floor, then Option Space 1 and Option Space 2 will be substantially as depicted on Schedule “G-1” hereto, but if the initial Leased Premises do not include premises on the 5th floor, then Option Space 1 and Option Space 2 will be on the 5th and 4th floors, respectively. The determination of the location of Option Spaces shall be memorialized in writing by the parties on or before March 15, 2013 following Tenant’s election as to the size of the initial Leased Premises. If leased by Tenant within the required time periods, Option Space 1 and Option Space 2 shall be leased on the same terms and conditions of the initial Lease, with the Allowance, Abatement and any other rental concessions prorated for the remaining Term, all as set forth below, and the Term for such space(s) shall be co-terminus with the initial Term. If leased by Tenant, Option Space 3 will be leased in accordance with the terms below. Tenant’s expansion options are as follows:
Condition of Subleased Premises (a) Subtenant shall maintain and repair the Subleased Premises in a manner consistent with Sublandlord’s obligations under the Lease. Sublandlord shall have the right to enter the Subleased Premises from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to Subtenant, during normal business hours and escorted by Subtenant (if Subtenant makes such escort reasonably available). Sublandlord’s right of entry shall include the right of inspection to confirm that Subtenant is in compliance with all applicable maintenance and repair obligations set forth in the Lease. In the event that Sublandlord determines, in Sublandlord’s reasonable opinion, that Subtenant is in default of any maintenance and/or repair obligation set forth in the Lease, and such default may incur liability to Sublandlord upon the surrender of the Subleased Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease (a “Required Repair Item”), then Sublandlord shall have the right to notify Subtenant of any such Required Repair Items. Subtenant shall be obligated to cure such Required Repair Items within thirty (30) days of such notice from Sublandlord, or, if such Required Repair Items cannot be reasonably completed in such thirty (30) day period, such longer period as reasonably necessary to cure such Required Repair Items, so long as Subtenant has commenced such cure and diligently pursues such cure to completion. In no event shall Sublandlord’s rights hereunder impose any additional and/or greater repair or maintenance standards from those set forth in the Lease. In the event Subtenant fails to cure such Required Repair Items as set forth above, then such failure shall be deemed a default under this Sublease, entitling Sublandlord to exercise any of its rights and remedies herein, including, without limitation, the self help rights set forth in Section 6(b) above.
Expansion Premises In addition to the Original Premises, commencing on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date (as defined below), Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, the Expansion Premises.

Possession of the Subleased Premises shall be delivered to Sublessee on the Commencement Date. The parties agree that the consent by Lessor and Guarantor shall include (i) a consent to the proposed use by Sublessee of the Subleased Premises as set forth in Section 4 of this Sublease; (ii) a consent to the upfit of the Shell Space at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense, subject to (A) the approval of Lessor of the plans for such upfit; (B) the plans shall provide that the upfit will be performed and Sublessee shall perform the upfit in a good and workmanlike manner using materials that are substantially similar and of better or equal quality to those presently contained in the Subleased Premises; (C) the plans shall provide and Sublessee shall use contractors and engineers that are licensed in North Carolina and are qualified to perform the work to prepare the Subleased Premises for its intended use, each as reasonably acceptable to Lessor; (D) Sublessee shall not commence any such work without first delivering to Lessor a policy or policies of workers’ compensation and commercial general liability insurance naming Lessor as an additional insured; (E) Sublessee and Sublessor warrant that any upfit installed by Sublessee will not violate the permitted use of the Subleased Premises and will materially comply with all applicable building codes and zoning laws and will not impact the structure of the Shell Space; (F) Sublessee shall furnish Lessor with all permits required prior to commencement of the upfit work and all certificates and approvals with respect to the upfit as may be required by any governmental authority and deliver to the Lessor properly executed general and subcontractor affidavits stating that all laborers and materialmen have been paid in full and final waivers of liens and lien releases from all general contractors and subcontractors who have performed the upfit or furnished materials to the Subleased Premises as a result of the upfit; and (G) Sublessee, at its expense, shall deliver within 30 days after completion of the upfit the as built plans for the Shell Space to the Lessor; (iii) a waiver by Lessor of any obligation of Sublessee or Sublessor to restore the Subleased Premises to the condition that existed prior to the Commencement Date or the commencement date of the Lease, respectively; provided, however, that all tenant upfit (including but not limited to Tenant Upfit), case work, the heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment located on the Subleased Premises, work above the ceiling of the Shell Space installed by Sublessee, and all Lessor Trade Fixtures (as defined below) shall remain on the Subleased Premises at the termination of Sublessee’s occupancy of the Subleased Premises without compensation to Sublessee, unless Lessor requests the removal of same at the time Lessor approves such installations. For purposes of this Sublease, “Lessor Trade Fixtures” means the building management system, flow optometers, manifolds, mirrors, stainless steel tables and stainless steel workbenches located on the Subleased Premises as of the Commencement Date of this Sublease and shall not be deemed to include any enterprise management systems, including without limitation any material resource planning systems or any manufacturing execution systems installed by Sublessee. In addition, on or before November 10, 2000, Lessor shall have delivered to Sublessee an agreement to lease the Subleased Premises directly from Lessor upon the expiration of the term of this Sublease upon terms that are satisfactory to the Sublessee (the “Additional Lease”). If Lessor fails to give such consent and deliver the Additional Lease by December 15, 2000, then Sublessee may cancel this Sublease by giving written notice of cancellation to Sublessor. Neither party shall have liability to the other for any termination or cancellation under this Section 2, unless such party by its willful act caused Lessor to refuse timely to consent to this Sublease.
