| 11.03. | Compliance with Law. Without limiting Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, if, as a result of Tenant’s performance of any Alteration, Landlord becomes required under law to perform any inspection or give any notice relating to the Premises or such Alteration, or to ensure that such alteration is performed in any particular manner, Tenant shall comply with such requirement on Landlord’s behalf and promptly thereafter provide Landlord with reasonable documentation of such compliance. |

Tenant shall have the right (the “Extension Option”) to extend the term of the Lease for one additional period of one 1 year commencing on the day following the Third Extended Expiration Date and ending on the 1st anniversary of the Third Extended Expiration Date (the “Fourth Extension Term”), if: |
| 1. | Landlord receives notice of exercise (“Extension Notice”) not less than three (3) full calendar months before the Third Extended Expiration Date; |
| 2. | Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure period when Tenant delivers its Extension Notice or when the Prevailing Market (defined below) rate for the Fourth Extension Term is determined pursuant to Subsection C below; |
| 3. | No part of the Premises is sublet (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) when Tenant delivers its Extension Notice or when the Prevailing Market rate for the Fourth Extension Term is determined pursuant to Subsection C below; and |
3
| 4. | The Lease has not been assigned (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) before the Prevailing Market rate for the Fourth Extension Term is determined pursuant to Subsection C below. |
| B. | Terms Applicable to Fourth Extension Term. |
| 1. | During the Fourth Extension Term, (a) the Base Rent rate per rentable square foot shall be equal to the Prevailing Market rate per rentable square foot; (b) Base Rent shall increase, if at all, in accordance with the increases assumed in the determination of Prevailing Market rate; and (c) Base Rent shall be payable in monthly installments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease. |
| 2. | During the Fourth Extension Term Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes for the Premises in accordance with the Lease. |
| C. | Procedure for Determining Prevailing Market. Within 30 days after receiving Tenant’s Extension Notice, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of Landlord’s estimate of the Base Rent rate for the Fourth Extension Term (the “Base Rent Notice”), which shall reflect the Prevailing Market rate. Within 15 days after receiving the Base Rent Notice, Tenant shall give Landlord either (i) written notice (“Binding Notice”) accepting the Base Rent rate described in the Base Rent Notice, or (ii) written notice (the “Rejection Notice”) rejecting such Base Rent rate. If Tenant fails to give Landlord a Binding Notice or a Rejection Notice within such 15-day period, the Extension Option shall be of no further force or effect. If Tenant timely gives Landlord a Rejection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to agree in writing upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Fourth Extension Term. If, within 30 days after timely delivery of a Rejection Notice, the parties fail to agree in writing upon the Prevailing Market rate, Tenant’s Extension Option shall be of no further force or effect. |
| D. | Extension Amendment. If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its Extension Option, and if the Prevailing Market rate for the Fourth Extension Term is determined in accordance with Subsection C above, Landlord, within a reasonable time thereafter, shall prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) reflecting changes in the Base Rent, the term of the Lease, the expiration date of the Lease, and other appropriate terms, and Tenant shall execute and return the Extension Amendment to Landlord within 15 days after receiving it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon determination of the Prevailing Market rate for the Fourth Extension Term in accordance with Subsection C above, an otherwise valid exercise of the Extension Option shall be fully effective whether or not the Extension Amendment is executed. |
| E. | Definition of Prevailing Market. For purposes of this Extension Option, “Prevailing Market” shall mean the arms-length, fair-market, annual rental rate per rentable square foot under extension and renewal leases and amendments entered into on or about the date on which the Prevailing Market is being determined hereunder for space comparable to the Premises in the Building and office buildings comparable to the Building in the San Jose, California area. The determination of Prevailing Market shall take into account any material economic differences between the terms of the Lease and any comparison lease or amendment, such as rent abatements, construction costs and other concessions, and the manner, if any, in which the landlord under any such lease is reimbursed for operating expenses and taxes. The determination of Prevailing Market shall also take into consideration any reasonably anticipated changes in the Prevailing Market rate from the time such Prevailing Market rate is being determined and the time such Prevailing Market rate will become effective under the Lease. |
4
| F. | Subordination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant’s Extension Option is subject and subordinate to the expansion rights (whether such rights are designated as a right of first offer, right of first refusal, expansion option or otherwise) of any tenant of the Building or the Project existing on the date hereof. |
| 12. | Miscellaneous. |
| 12.01. | This Amendment and the attached exhibits, which are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Amendment, set forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein. There have been no additional oral or written representations or agreements. Under no circumstances shall Tenant be entitled to any free rent, improvement allowance, leasehold improvements, or other work to the Premises, or any similar economic incentives that may have been provided Tenant in connection with entering into the Lease, unless specifically set forth in this Amendment. |
| 12.02. | Except as herein modified or amended, the provisions, conditions and terms of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. |
| 12.03. | In the case of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Lease and this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall govern and control. |
| 12.04. | Submission of this Amendment by Landlord is not an offer to enter into this Amendment but rather is a solicitation for such an offer by Tenant. Landlord shall not be bound by this Amendment until Landlord has executed and delivered the same to Tenant. |
| 12.05. | The capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Lease to the extent that such capitalized terms are defined therein and not redefined in this Amendment. |
| 12.06. | Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that Tenant has dealt with no broker, other than Xxxxxxx & Wakefield of California, Inc., a California corporation (“Tenant’s Broker”), in connection with this Amendment. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord, its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, mortgagee(s) and agents, and the respective principals and members of any such agents harmless from all claims of any brokers, other than Tenant’s Broker, claiming to have represented Tenant in connection with this Amendment.

Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant, its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, and agents, and the respective principals and members of any such agents harmless from all claims of any brokers claiming to have represented Landlord in connection with this Amendment. |
