Written notice of Tenant's exercise of its option to extend ("Option to Extend") the Term of this Lease for the Extended Term must be given to Landlord no less than six (6) months prior to the date the Term of the Lease would otherwise expire. If Tenant is in default under this Lease, Tenant shall have no right to extend the Term of this Lease until such default is cured within the cure period set forth in this Lease for such default, if any; provided, that the period of time within which said Option to Extend may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant's inability to exercise said Option to Extend because of a default. In the event Tenant validly exercises its Option to Extend the Term of this Lease as herein provided, Base Rent shall be adjusted as of the commencement date of the Extended Term as follows (but in no event shall it be' less than the Base Rent for the month immediately prior to the commencement of the Extended Term):
(A) Not later than five (5) months prior to the commencement of an Extended Term, Landlord shall provide Tenant with Landlord's determination of the fair market Base Rent for such Extended Term, including any appropriate annual fair market rent increases ("Landlord's Determination of Base Rent for Extended Term"). Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord as to whether Tenant accepts 'Landlord's Determination of Base Rent for Extended Term. In the event Tenant does not agree to Landlord's Determination of Base Rent for Extended Term, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon Base Rent for the Premises for the Extended Term, such rent to be the fair market rental value of the Premises for the Extended Term, as defined in Subsection (C) below. If the parties are unable to agree upon the Base Rent for the Extended Term by the date three (3) months prior to the commencement of the Extended Term, then within ten (10) days thereafter each party, at its own cost and by giving notice to the other party, shall appoint a real estate appraiser with at least five (5) years full-time commercial real estate appraisal experience in the area in which the Premises are located to appraise and set Base Rent for the Extended Term, If a party does not appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its appraiser, the single appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser and shall set Base Rent for the Extended Term. If each party shall have so appointed an appraiser, the two appraisers shall meet promptly and attempt to set the Base Rent for the Extended Term. If the two appraisers are unable to agree within thirty (30) days after the second appraiser has been appointed, they shall attempt to select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications herein stated within ten (10) days after the last day the two appraisers are given to set Base Rent. If the two appraisers are unable to agree on the third appraiser within such ten (10) day period, either of the parties to this Lease, by giving five (5) days notice to the other party, may apply to the then presiding judge of the Washington County Circuit Court for the selection of a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated in this paragraph. Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost of appointing the third appraiser and of paying the third appraiser's fee. The third appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either party.
(B) The fair market Base Rent shall be fixed by the three appraisers in accordance with the following procedures. Each party appointed appraiser shall state, in writing, such appraiser's determination of the fair market Base Rent supported by the reasons therefor and shall make counterpart copies for the other party appointed appraiser and the neutral appraiser. The party appointed appraisers shall arrange for a simultaneous exchange of their proposed fair market Base Rent determinations. The role of the neutral appraiser shall be to select whichever of the two proposed determinations of fair market Base Rent most closely approximates the neutral appraiser's own determination of fair market Base Rent. The neutral appraiser shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed determinations of fair market Base Rent. The determination of fair market Base Rent the neutral appraiser chooses as that most closely approximating the neutral appraiser's determination of the fair market Base Rent shall constitute the decision of the appraisers and shall be final and binding upon the parties. The appraisers shall have no power to modify the provisions of this Lease.
(C) For purposes of the appraisal, the term "-fair market Base Rent-" shall mean the price that a ready and willing tenant would pay, as of the Extended Term commencement date, as a base rent to a ready and willing landlord of premises comparable to the Premises, in terms of size, quality and comparable term, in their then-improved state, in the Wilsonville, Oregon market, if such premises were exposed for lease on the open market for a reasonable period of time; including any rent increases over the Extended Term. In no event shall there be deducted from such fair market rental the value of any concessions, including without limitation, tenant improvements, commission and/or "downtime."
4
(D) The neutral appraiser's decision shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after the submission by the appraisers of their proposals with respect to the fair market Base Rent. The parties have included these time limits in order to expedite the proceeding, but they are not jurisdictional, and the neutral appraiser may for good cause allow reasonable extensions or delays, which shall not affect the validity of the award. Absent fraud, collusion or willful misconduct by the neutral appraiser, the award shall be final, and judgment may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The option privilege granted herein shall not be assigned under any circumstances unless Landlord shall have consented to such assignment in writing, which consent may be withheld by Landlord in its sole discretion.

No act or conduct of Landlord, whether consisting of the acceptance of the keys to the Premises, or otherwise, shall be deemed to be or constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term, and such acceptance by Landlord of surrender by Tenant shall only flow from and must be evidenced by a written acknowledgment of acceptance of surrender signed by Landlord. The surrender of this Lease by Tenant, voluntarily or otherwise, shall not work a merger unless Landlord elects in writing that such merger take place, but shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of any and all existing subleases, or Landlord may, at its option, elect in writing to treat such surrender as a merger terminating Tenant's estate under this Lease, and thereupon Landlord may terminate any or all such subleases by notifying the sublessee of its election so to do within five (5) days after such surrender.

Moreover, the acceptance by Landlord of any Rent, while Tenant shall be in default hereunder, shall not serve or .operate as a waiver of any rights and/or remedies to which Landlord otherwise would be entitled hereunder or at law or in equity as a result of such default.

In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord's default and Tenant's remedies shall be limited to damages and/or an injunction.

At any time upon fourteen (14) days written request given after the Commencement Date, Tenant by written request to Landlord, shall have the right to receive from Landlord any then undisbursed balance of the Construction Allowance.
