Exhibit D - Site Plan [Sections 1.0 1, 1.05, 4.03]

Exhibit F- Environmental Disclosure [Section 10.03] Exhibit G -Sign Criteria [Section 10.05]

1.04. Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, subject to the provisions of this Lease, the Premises in the Building, as shown on Premises Floor Plan in Exhibit B, extending from the top surface of the subfloor to the bottom surface of the roof deck, but excluding the Common Area, as hereinafter defined, and any other portion of the Property, as hereinafter defined. Any statement of square footage set forth in this Lease, or that may have been used in calculating Rent, Operating Expenses and/or Insurance Expenses (as hereinafter defined), is an approximation prepared by Landlord's Architect which Landlord and Tenant agree is reasonable and the Base Rent thereon is not subject to revision whether or not the actual square footage is more or less.
1.05. Common Area. Tenant may, as appurtenant to the Premises and subject to the Restrictions referenced in Exhibit C or rules made by Landlord of which Tenant is given notice, use the following areas (collectively "Common Area") in common:
a.
Floor Common Area. If the Premises include less than the entire rentable area of any floor, the lobbies, hallways, toilets, refuse facilities, interior utility raceways and other common facilities; and
b.
Lot Common Area. The parking area adjoining the Premises, together with adjoining landscaping, walkways, sidewalks, driveways, and other surfaced areas, fences drainage and utility lines, exterior lighting and project signing, if any, serving the Premises ("Lot"). The Premises, Building, Lot and Common Area (plus any other real property and improvements identified in Exhibit D, if attached to this Lease) shall be collectively known as the "Property".
Under no circumstances shall the right herein granted to use the Common Area be deemed to include the right to store any property, temporarily or permanently, in the Common Area. Any such storage shall be permitted only by the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be revoked at any time. In the event that any unauthorized storage shall occur then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove the property and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable upon demand by Landlord.
1.06. Landlord's Reserved Rights. Provided Landlord does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises, Landlord reserves the right to make the following changes:
2
ORIGINAL SIGNED LEASE
a.
Building Changes. To install, use, maintain, repair, relocate and replace pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment included in the Premises or outside the Premises; and to make any alterations to the Premises that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, are required or authorized by any existing or future governmental codes;
b.
Boundary Changes. To change the boundary lines of the Lot; and
c.
Common Area Changes. To install, use, maintain, repair, alter or relocate and replace any Common Area; provided, however, that substitutions, if any, shall be substantially equivalent or better in quality.
d.
Closure. To close temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance purposes so long as reasonable access to the Premises remains available.
2. IMPROVEMENTS
2.01. Tenant's Acceptance of Premises. Tenant shall accept the Premises "as is" on the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined). Except for the Landlord's obligation, if any, to construct the Leasehold Improvements described in Exhibit E, Landlord shall have no obligation to construct any improvements in the Premises, and any other alteration to or improvement of the Premises shall be governed by Section 8 below. By taking possession or using the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to accept the same in their condition existing as of the date of such possession or use and subject to all applicable municipal, county, state and federal statutes, laws, ordinances, including zoning ordinances, and regulations governing and relating to the use, occupancy or possession of the Premises ("Regulations"). Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, comply with all Regulations now in force or which may hereafter be in force relating to the Premises and the use of the Premises, and Tenant shall secure any permits therefore. The taking of possession or use of the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Leasehold Improvements have been constructed in accordance with the Plans (as defined in Exhibit E); provided, however, Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days after taking possession of the Premises in which to notify Landlord in writing of any construction deficiencies or defects and any uncompleted punch list items (the punch list shall be limited to items required to be accomplished by Landlord under the Exhibit E and, except as hereafter provided, Landlord will repair, replace or complete at its expense all items referenced in such notice within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, subject to Unavoidable Delays (as hereinafter defined), or as soon thereafter as Landlord, acting in good faith, can repair, replace or complete the same. If Landlord reasonably contends that a particular item in such notice is not justified, the parties will refer the issue to Landlord's Architect for resolution. Landlord's Architect's determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. Nothing in this Section shall limit or expand Landlord's maintenance and repair obligations set forth in Section 7.03. Tenant acknowledges that the only warranties and representations Landlord has made in connection with the physical condition of the Premises or Tenant's use of the same upon which it has relied directly or indirectly are those expressly provided in this Lease.
2.02. Construction. The provisions of this Section shall be applicable only if Exhibit E has been attached to and made a part of this
a.
Preliminary Plans. Landlord and Tenant have approved the preliminary plans and outline specifications (the "Preliminary Plans") identified in Exhibit E for the construction of Tenant's leasehold improvements within the Premises (the "Leasehold Improvements").
b.
Final Plans. Landlord shall have final plans and specifications (the "Final Plans") prepared by Landlord's Architect, which Final Plans shall be substantially in conformity with the Preliminary Plans. The term "Plans" shall hereinafter mean the Preliminary Plans and then, when prepared and approved by Landlord, the Final Plans. Preparation and approval of the Preliminary Plans and Final Plans and any changes requested by Tenant thereto shall be made only in accordance with Exhibit E.
c.
Construction. Landlord shall construct the Leasehold Improvements substantially in accordance with the Exhibit E. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to make the Premises "Ready for Occupancy", not later than the Scheduled Commencement Date specified in Section 1.01; provided, however, that the Scheduled Commencement Date shall be extended for a period equal to the period of any delays encountered by Landlord in making the Premises Ready for Occupancy because of fire, earthquake, inclement weather, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, riot, insurrection, governmental delays or regulations of the sales of materials or supplies or the transportation thereof, strikes or boycotts, shortages of material or labor, changes in the Plans pursuant to Exhibit E or any other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord ("Unavoidable Delays"). The Premises shall be deemed "Ready for Occupancy" when the Leasehold Improvements have been substantially completed in accordance with the Final Plans prepared by Landlord's Architect, as evidenced by a temporary certificate of occupancy or its equivalent by the appropriate authority.
3. TERM
3.01. Commencement Date. The Term shall commence on the earlier of the following dates ("Commencement Date"):
a.
If Landlord is required to construct Leasehold Improvements in the Premises pursuant to Exhibit E, the earlier of (i) the date on which the Premises are Ready for Occupancy, or (ii) the date on which the Premises would have been Ready for Occupancy had there been no Tenant Delays; or
b.
If no Exhibit E is attached to this Lease, the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant.
3.02. Term. The Term of this Lease shall be for the period as stated in Section 1.01, commencing on the Commencement Date of the Term as provided in Section 3.01. If the last day of the Term falls on a date other than the last day of the month, then the Term shall be extended so that the last day of the Term shall be the last calendar day of the calendar month in which the Term would otherwise end. Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall execute a memorandum confirming the Term which memorandum shall thereupon be deemed a part of this Lease; provided, however, the execution of such memorandum shall not be a condition precedent to the parties' obligations hereunder.
3.03. Delay in Possession. If for any reason Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant with the Tenant Improvements substantially completed on or before the Scheduled Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability therefore, and such failure shall not affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder, but in such case, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Monthly Base Rent or Additional Rent until the Commencement Date has occurred. If the Commencement Date has not occurred within sixty (60) days following the Scheduled Commencement Date plus periods attributable to Tenant Delays or Unavoidable Delay, either party may, at its option, by written notice given, if at all, to the other within ten (10) days thereafter, terminate this Lease, in which event the parties shall be discharged from all further obligations hereunder.

ORIGINAL. SIGNED LEASE
4. RENT
4.01. Base Rent. The Annual Base Rent ("Base Rent") shall be the Annual Base Rent set forth in Section 1.01, payable in equal monthly installments equal to the Monthly Base Rent set forth in Section 1.01. Tenant shall pay the Monthly Base Rent to Landlord in advance upon the first day of each calendar month of the Term, at Landlord's address or at such other place designated by Landlord in a notice to Tenant, without any prior demand therefore. If the Term shall commence or end on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then Tenant shall pay, upon the Commencement Date and first day of the last calendar month, a pro rata portion of the Monthly Base Rent, prorated on a per diem basis, with respect to the portions of the fractional calendar month included in the Term. Upon executing this Lease, Tenant shall pay the Prepaid Rent as set forth in Section 1.01 along with Tenant's Security Deposit as provided in Section 4.06 below.
4.02. Escalation. The Base Rent shall be adjusted during the Term as provided in Section 1.01
4.03. Additional Rent and Estimated Payments. "Additional Rent" shall include all monies, except for Base Rent, required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under the Lease, including without limitation, any late payments, interest, and payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord on account of costs incurred by Landlord for Tax Expenses, Insurance Expenses, and/or Operating Expenses in excess of the Operating Expense Base, Tax Expense Base and Insurance Expense Base. Additional Rent shall be payable by Tenant within ten (10) days after a reasonably detailed statement of actual expenses is presented to Tenant by Landlord. At Landlord's option, however, an amount may be estimated by Landlord from time to time of Additional Rent payable by Tenant and the same shall be payable monthly during each accounting year of the Term, on the same day as Base Rent is due hereunder. At the end of each year there shall be an adjustment made to account for any difference between the actual and the estimated Additional Rent for the previous year. If Tenant has overpaid the amount of Additional Rent owing pursuant to this provision, Landlord shall credit Tenant the amount of such overpayment in determining Tenant's estimated payments for the following lease year; provided, that in the case of overpayment for the final lease year of the Term, Landlord shall refund such overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of Landlord's accounting year. If Tenant has underpaid the amount of Additional Rent owing pursuant to this provision, Tenant shall pay the amount of such underpayment to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after the end of Landlord's accounting year. Except as set forth to the contrary in this Section 4.03, Tenant's Shares of, respectively, Tax Expenses, Insurance Expenses, and Operating Expenses, shall be as set forth in Section 1.01. For any period during the Term in which the Building (or the Property, if Exhibit D has been attached to this Lease) is at least ninety percent (90%), but is not fully occupied, Landlord shall compute and charge Tenant for, respectively, Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses, and Insurance Expenses, based upon the ratio that the Rentable Square Feet of the Premises bears to the Rentable Square Feet of the Building (provided, however, if the term "Rentable Square Feet of the Property" is defined under Section 1.01 Defined Terms, such ratio shall be the ratio that the Rentable Square Feet of the Premises bears to the occupied Rentable Square Feet of the Property); Tenant's Share of, respectively, Tax Expenses, Insurance Expenses, and Operating Expenses shall be adjusted accordingly for such period of time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Operating Expenses vary, as reasonably determined by Landlord, according to the level of occupancy of the Building (or Property, as applicable), Landlord may compute and charge Tenant for such variable expenses an amount greater than Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses equal to Landlord's reasonable estimate of the extent to which such variable Operating Expenses are attributable to Tenant's occupancy. In the event that Tenant or any other tenant within the Building has a use, performs acts (including, without limitation, construction within the Building), or whose presence or occupancy results, in Landlord's good faith determination, in an inequitable allocation of either Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses, or Insurance Expenses among the tenants of the Building, then Landlord may, without any obligation to do so and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Lease, reallocate one or more of Tenant's Share of, respectively, Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses, and/or Insurance Expenses in such a manner so as to achieve an allocation of such expenses which Landlord determines to be equitable in Landlord's good faith determination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, in the event that Landlord sells a portion of the Property, Tenant's Share of, respectively, Tax Expenses, Insurance Expenses and Operating Expenses after such sale shall be based upon the ratio that the Rentable Square Feet of the Premises bears to the Rentable Square Feet of the Property then owned by Landlord after any such sale. Charges for, respectively, Tax Expenses, Insurance Expenses and Operating Expenses shall be prorated to the date of any sale of a portion of the Property to reflect the recalculation described in the preceding sentence.
4.04. Rent Defined. Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be deemed to constitute "Rent". Rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States without any abatement, set off or deduction whatsoever.
4.05 Interest and Late Charge. If any installment of Rent is not paid promptly when due, such amount shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date on which said payment shall be due until the date on which Landlord shall receive said payment regardless of whether or not a notice of default or notice of termination has been given by Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount delinquent. Landlord and Tenant recognize that the damage which Landlord shall suffer as a result of Tenant's failure to pay Rent is difficult to ascertain, said late charge being the best estimate of the damage which Landlord shall suffer in the event of Tenant's late payment. However, Tenant is allowed two (2) delinquent payments in any given twelve (12) month period without incurring a late charge, provided the payment is no more than five (5) days late. This provision shall not relieve Tenant of Tenant's obligation to pay Rent at the time and in the manner herein specified.
4.06. Security Deposit. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit the Security Deposit set forth in Section 1.01 in cash with Landlord. The Security Deposit shall secure Tenant's obligation to: (i) pay Rent; (ii) maintain the Premises and repair damages thereto; (iii) surrender the Premises to Landlord in clean condition and good repair upon termination of this Lease; and (iv) discharge Tenant's other obligations hereunder. Landlord may use and commingle the Security Deposit with other funds of Landlord. If Tenant fails to perform any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, Landlord may, but without obligation, apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit toward fulfillment of Tenant's unperformed obligations. If Landlord does so apply any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall upon demand by Landlord, immediately pay Landlord sufficient cash to restore the Security Deposit to the full original amount. The Security Deposit shall not bear interest. Upon termination of this Lease, if Tenant has performed Tenant's obligations hereunder, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant. If Landlord transfers Landlord's rights under this Lease, Landlord may deliver the Security Deposit to the transferee, whereupon Landlord shall be released from any further liability to Tenant with respect to the Security Deposit. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Landlord, no part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear interest or other increment for its use, or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by Tenant under this Lease.
4.07. Forgiven Rent. Provided Tenant fully and faithfully performs all of its obligations under the terms of this Lease, the Monthly Base Rent and Tenant's Shares of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Insurance Expenses shall be abated for the initial three (3) months of the Term. At any time during the Term of this Lease should the Tenant fail to perform its obligations under the terms of the Lease such that an Event of Default which is not cured within the applicable cure period should occur, the abated Monthly Base Rent, and Tenant's Shares of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Insurance Expenses shall be immediately due and payable in full.
5. REAL PROPERTY TAXES
5.01. Tenant's Obligations. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, pursuant to the terms of Section 4.03, Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses multiplied by the amount, if any, by which Tax Expenses exceed the Tax Base. "Tax Expenses" shall mean and include the sum of the following: all real estate taxes and other taxes relating to the Property, governmental and quasi governmental assessments and charges, commercial rental taxes, fees and levies, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, unforeseen as well as foreseen, of any kind and nature for public improvements, services, benefits, or otherwise, and all other fees or taxes which may be levied which: (i) are assessed,

The amount owed by Tenant for Tax Expenses, as set forth in this Section 5.01, shall be prorated between Landlord and Tenant so that Tenant shall pay for amounts applicable to the period of time occurring prior to the expiration of the Term; and
b.
Any sum payable by Tenant, which would not otherwise be due until after the date of the termination of this Lease, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon such termination.
5.02. Limitation. Nothing contained in this Lease shall require Tenant to pay any franchise, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession or documentary transfer tax of Landlord, or any income, profits or revenue tax or charge, upon the net income of Landlord; provided, however, that if under the laws of the United States Government or the state, city or county in which the Property is located, or any political subdivision thereof or any improvement district therein, a tax or excise on rent, or any other tax however described, is levied or assessed by any such body against Landlord on account of rentals payable to Landlord from the Property, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Share of such tax or excise on rent as Tenant's Share is set forth under Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses under Section 1.01 and Section 4.03.

6.01. Tenant's Obligations.

During the Term, Landlord shall procure and maintain in full force and effect with respect to the Property, a policy or policies of all risk insurance (including sprinkler leakage coverage and any other endorsements or types of coverage required by the holder of any fee or leasehold mortgage) in an amount equal to at least eighty percent (80%) of the full insurance replacement value (replacement cost new, including debris removal, and demolition) thereof. If the annual premiums charged Landlord for such casualty insurance exceed the standard premium rates because the nature of Tenant' operations results increased exposure, then Tenant shall, upon receipt of appropriate premium invoices, reimburse Landlord for such increased amount.
6.03. Landlord's Liability Insurance. During the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall procure and maintain in force a commercial general liability insurance covering the Property in commercially reasonable amounts as determined by Landlord, from time to time in Landlord's reasonable discretion.
6.04. Tenant's Liability.

If Tenant has in full force and effect a blanket policy of liability insurance with the same coverage for the Property as described above, as well as coverage of other premises and properties of Tenant, or in which Tenant has some interest, such blanket insurance shall satisfy the requirement hereof. Such insurance shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an "insured contract" for the performance of Tenant's indemnity obligations under this Lease. All such policies shall provide that such coverage shall be primary and that any insurance maintained by Landlord shall be excess insurance only. Such coverage shall also contain the following endorsements: (i) deleting any employee exclusion of personal injury coverage; (ii) including employees as additional insureds; (iii) providing for coverage of employer's automobile non-ownership liability; (iv) deleting any liquor liability exclusion, (v) an "Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises Endorsement", and (vi) the "Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion Endorsement" for damage caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. All such insurance shall provide for severability of interests; shall provide that an act or omission of one of the named insureds shall not reduce or avoid coverage to the other named insureds; and shall afford coverage for all claims based on acts, omissions, injury and damage, which claims occurred or arose (or the onset of which occurred or arose) in whole or in part during the policy period.
6.05. Fire and All Risk Coverage Insurance. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall provide and keep in force during the Term of this Lease a policy or policies of broad form or special form property insurance, including sprinkler leakage if the Premises is equipped with an automatic sprinkler system, in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) replacement value covering Tenant's merchandise, furniture, equipment, fixtures, and Tenant's improvements that Tenant owns or has installed at Tenant's sole cost and expense to the Premises. Landlord and Tenant agree that proceeds from such insurance policy or policies shall be used for the repair or replacement of Tenant's improvements and property.

Tenant shall furnish to Landlord on the Commencement Date, and thereafter within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of each such policy, certificates of insurance issued by the insurance carrier of each policy of insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant hereto. Each certificate shall expressly provide that such policies shall not be cancellable or subject to reduction of coverage or otherwise be subject to modification except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to the parties named as insureds in this Section 6.07. Landlord, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Landlord's successors and assigns, and any nominee of Landlord holding any interest in the Premises, including, without limitation any ground lessor and holder of any fee or leasehold mortgage, shall be named as insureds under each policy of insurance maintained by Tenant. All insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease shall: (i) be written by companies rated A-VI or better in "Best's Insurance Guide" and authorized to do business in California; and (ii) name any parties designated by Landlord as additional insureds. Any deductible amounts under any insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant hereunder shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval. In any event deductible amounts shall not exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00). If at any time during the Term the amount or coverage of any insurance which Tenant is required to carry under this Lease is, in Landlord's good faith judgment, materially less than the amount or type of insurance coverage typically carried by owners or lessees or properties located in the same general market area as the Property, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to increase the amount or change the types of insurance coverage required under this Section.
6.08. Tenant's Failure. If Tenant fails to maintain any insurance required in this Lease, Tenant shall be liable for all losses and costs resulting from said failure. Tenant shall also be responsible for reimbursing Landlord for any costs incurred by Landlord pursuant to

Tenant agrees to sign and deliver within ten (10) days after request by Landlord any documents reasonably requested by Landlord to effectuate any such easement rights, dedications, maps, covenants, conditions or restrictions.
10. USE OF PREMISES
10.01. General. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises only for the Permitted Uses, or any other legal use which is reasonably comparable thereto, and for no other purpose (Landlord may consider such factors as tenant mix in determining whether a use is reasonably comparable). Tenant shall not use or permit the use of the Premises in a manner that is unlawful, creates damage, waste or a nuisance, or that disturbs owners and/or occupants of, or causes damage to neighboring properties. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any written request for a modification of the Permitted Uses so long as the same will not impair the structural integrity of the improvements on the Premises or the mechanical or electrical systems therein, and is not significantly more burdensome to the Premises. If Landlord elects to withhold consent, Landlord shall within five (5) business days after such request give written notification of same, which notice shall include an explanation of Landlord's objections to the change in use. Tenant agrees, by Tenant's entry, that Tenant has conducted an investigation of the Premises and the acceptability of the Premises for Tenants use, to the extent that such investigation might affect or influence Tenant's execution of this Lease.

Tenant's indemnification of Landlord pursuant to Section 6. 10, above, shall extend to all liability, including all foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages, directly arising out of the use, generation, storage, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any person on the Premises during the Term, including, without limitation, the cost of any required or necessary repair, cleanup, or detoxification and the preparation of any closure or other required plans, whether such action is required or necessary prior to or following the termination of this Lease. Neither the written consent by Landlord to the use, generation, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all Regulations pertaining to Hazardous Materials shall excuse Tenant from Tenant's indemnification obligation pursuant to this Section, which obligation shall survive the termination of this Lease. Landlord, its lenders and its consultants shall have the right to enter into the Premises any time, in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times, for the purpose of inspecting the condition of the Premises and for verifying compliance by Tenant with this Lease.

Landlord may periodically conduct such tests as may be reasonably necessary for the use of reclaimed water, including a dual shut down test to establish that there exists no cross over in water systems, and the reasonable costs thereof shall be an Operating Expense.

right to use the number of parking spaces located in the parking areas adjoining the Premises as set forth in Section 1.01, with the specific parking spaces and rules regulating the use thereof to be designated, from time to time, by Landlord. Tenant shall control Tenant's employees, agents, customers, visitors, invitees, licensees, contractors, assignees and subtenants ("Tenant's Parties") in such a manner that Tenant and Tenant's Parties cumulatively do not exceed the parking allocation specified in Section 1.01 Defined Terms at any time. Landlord may take such actions or incur such cost which it deems reasonably necessary to enforce the proper parking on the property, including the reasonable allocation to Tenant of all costs and expenses to do so. Tenant shall not use the areas outside of the Premises for the placement of dumpsters, refuse collection, outdoor storage or parking of cars and/or pickup trucks which are not in working order.

Landlord shall have the right, however, upon written notice to Tenant, given no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, to require Tenant to abandon and leave in place, without additional payment to Tenant or credit against Rent, any and all telecommunications wiring and related infrastructure, or selected components thereof, whether located in Tenant's Premises or elsewhere in the Building. Tenant shall not utilize any wireless communications equipment (other than usual and customary cellular telephones), including antenna and satellite receiver dishes, within Tenant's Premises or the Building, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

If the Building is damaged or destroyed, Landlord shall, except as hereinafter provided, diligently repair or rebuild the Building to substantially the condition in which the Building existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction, provided that insurance is available to pay one hundred percent (100%) or more of the cost of such restoration, excluding the deductible amount. Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any improvements made or paid for by the Tenant.
11.02. Rent Abatement. Base Rent shall be abated proportionately, but only to the extent of any proceeds received by Landlord from rental abatement insurance described in Section 6.06, during any period when, by reason of such damage or destruction, Landlord reasonably determines that there is substantial interference with Tenant's use of the Premises, having regard to the extent to which Tenant may be required to discontinue Tenant's use of the Premises. Such abatement shall commence upon the date of such damage or destruction and end upon substantial completion by Landlord of the repair or reconstruction which Landlord is obligated or undertakes to do. If Landlord reasonably determines that continuation of business is not practical pending reconstruction, Base Rent shall xxxxx to the extent of proceeds from rental abatement insurance until reconstruction is substantially completed or until business is totally or partially resumed, whichever occurs earlier.
11.03. Option to Terminate. If the Building is damaged or destroyed to the extent that Landlord determines that the Building cannot, with reasonable diligence, be fully repaired or restored by Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the damage or destruction, notwithstanding the fact that the Premises have not been totally damaged or destroyed, the sole right of both Landlord and Tenant shall be the option to terminate this Lease. Landlord's determination with respect to the extent of damage or destruction shall be conclusive on Tenant. Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord's determination, in writing, within thirty (30) days after the date of the damage or destruction. If Landlord determines that the Building can be fully repaired or restored within the one hundred eighty (180) day period, or if Landlord determines that such repair or restoration cannot be made within said period but neither party elects to terminate within thirty (30) days from the date of said determination, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall diligently repair and restore the damage as soon as reasonably possible.
11.04. Uninsured Casualty. In the event the Building is damaged or destroyed and is not fully covered by the insurance proceeds received by Landlord under the insurance policies required under Section 6.02, Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord's receipt of written notice from Landlord's insurance company that said damage or destruction is not so covered. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and the Building shall be repaired and rebuilt in accordance with the provisions for repair set forth in Section 11.01.
11.05. Waiver. With respect to any damage or destruction which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of this Section 11, Tenant waives all rights to terminate this Lease pursuant to rights otherwise presently or hereafter accorded by law to tenants, including, without limitation, any rights arising pursuant to California Civil Code Sections 1932 and 1933.

If all of the Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain or sold in lieu of condemnation, for any public or quasi-public use or purpose ("Condemned"), this Lease shall terminate as of the date of title vesting in suchproceeding, and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any such occurrence.
12.02. Partial Condemnation. If any portion of the Premises is Condemned, and such partial condemnation renders the Premises unusable for Tenant's business, as reasonably determined by Landlord, or if a substantial portion of the Building is Condemned as reasonably determined by Landlord, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding and rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination. If such partial condemnation does not render the Premises unusable for the business of Tenant or less than a substantial portion of the Building is Condemned, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises to the extent of any condemnation proceeds recovered by Landlord, less the portion thereof lost in such condemnation, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect except that after the date of such title vesting the Base Rent, Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses, Tenant's share of Insurance Expenses, and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses shall be adjusted as reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 permitting a court of law to terminate this Lease.
12.03. Landlord's Award. If the Premises are wholly or partially Condemned, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award paid for such condemnation, subject to the provisions of Section 12.04, and Tenant waives any claim to any part of the award from Landlord or the condemning authority.

ORIGINAL SIGNED LEASE
12.04. Tenant's Award.

12.05. Temporary Condemnation. In the event the Premises is temporarily Condemned, as reasonably determined by Landlord, this Lease shall remain in effect and Tenant shall receive any award made for such condemnation.

If a temporary condemnation is for a period which extends beyond the Term, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of occupancy by the condemning authority, the award shall be distributed as provided in Sections 12.03 and 12.04 above, and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of such occupancy.

b.

ORIGINAL SIGNED LEASE
Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of rental loss Tenant proved could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's Failure to perform its obligations under this Lease. The "worth at the time of the award" of the amount referred to in (iii) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
e.
Right to Possession. In accordance with California Civil Code Section 1951.4, Landlord may continue the Lease and Tenant's right to possession and recover the Rent as it becomes due, in which event Tenant may sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet, and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord's interests, shall not constitute a termination of the Tenant's right to possession.
f.
Additional Remedies. In addition to the foregoing remedies and so long as this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall have the right to remedy any default of Tenant, to maintain or improve the Premises without terminating this Lease, to incur expenses on behalf of Tenant in seeking a new subtenant, to cause a receiver to be appointed to administer the Premises and new or existing subleases and to add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Landlord's reasonable costs in so doing, with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of such expenditure until the same is repaid.
g.
Other. If Tenant causes or threatens to cause a breach of any of the covenants, terms or conditions contained in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to obtain all sums held by Tenant, by any trustee or in any account provided for herein, to enjoin such breach or threatened breach, and to invoke any remedy allowed at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease. If a notice and grace period required under Section 13.01 was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given to Tenant under the unlawful detainer statute (California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1161 et SeMc .) shall also constitute the notice required by Section 13.01. In such case, the applicable grace period required by Paragraph 13.01 and the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently, and the failure of Tenant to cure the Event of Default within the greater of the two such grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a breach of this Lease entitling Landlord to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statue.
h.
Cumulative. Each Right and remedy of Landlord provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statue or otherwise, shall be cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or equity, by statue or otherwise.
i.
Indemnification. Nothing in this Section 13 shall affect the right of Landlord to indemnification by Tenant in accordance with Section 6.10 for liability arising from personal injuries or property damage prior to the termination of this Lease.
14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.01. Approval. Tenant shall not assign, sublease, mortgage, pledge or otherwise transfer this Lease, in whole or in part, nor sublet or permit occupancy by any party other than Tenant of all or any part of the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company or a partnership, the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the beneficial ownership interest of the corporate stock, membership interests or partnership interests of Tenant, as the case may be, shall constitute an assignment hereunder for which such consent is required. This Lease may not be assigned by operation of law. Any purported assignment or subletting contrary to the provisions hereof shall be void. Notwithstanding that Landlord shall have no legal obligation to do so, if Landlord should decide in the future to permit an assignment or subletting, such consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. Under no circumstances shall this lease be assigned, sublet, or assumed, in whole or in part, unless Landlord receives adequate assurance of future performance of all the terms and conditions of the Lease. Such adequate assurance shall include adequate assurance: (a) of the source of Rent due under the Lease; (b) that the assignment, subletting, or assumption of the Lease shall not cause any breach in any respect of any provision in any other lease, financing agreement, or master agreement relating to the Building or Property; and (c) that the assignment, subletting, or assumption shall not disrupt in any respect any tenant mix or balance in the Building or on the Premises. Tenant shall pay promptly upon billing any and all attorneys' fees and other costs reasonably incurred by Landlord for the review or preparation of any documents in connection with a proposed assignment or sublease.
The provisions of this Section 14.01 to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord's consent, but with written notice of such event, to enter into an assignment or sublease with: (i) a parent corporation or entity; (ii) any subsidiary corporation or entity of Tenant or of Tenant's parent corporation or entity; (iii) an affiliated entity in which tenant or its parent corporation or entity, or the subsidiaries of either of them, holds a majority of the outstanding shares or ownership interestl or (iv) a purchaser or transferee of all or substantially all of Tenant's stock, assets and business operations, or a portion of Tenant's stock, assets or operations (each and any of the foregoing being referred to as a "Permitted Transfer"). If Tenant assigns the Lease or sublets the Premises pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, Tenant shall promptly following the effective date thereof deliver written notice of such transfer to Landlord, which in the case of an assignment shall include documentation evidencing the assignee's assumption of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and, in the case of subletting, a copy of the sublease.
14.02. Landlord Option.
a.
Right to Cancel. In connection with any proposed assignment or sublease, Landlord shall have the option to cancel and terminate this Lease if the request is to assign the Lease or to sublet all of the Premises; or, if the request is to sublet a portion of the Premises only, to cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such portion. Landlord may exercise said option by notifying Tenant in writing within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt from Tenant of such request, and in each case such cancellation or termination shall occur as of the date set forth in Landlord's notice of exercise of such option, which shall not be less than sixty (60) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days following the giving of such notice.
b.
Cancellation. If Landlord exercises Landlord's option to cancel this Lease or any portion thereof, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises, or the portion thereof which is the subject of the option, as the case may be, on the date set forth in such notice in accordance with the provisions of this Lease relating to surrender of the Premises at the expiration of the Term. If this Lease is canceled as to a portion of the Premises only, Rent after the date of cancellation shall be abated on a pro rata basis, as determined by Landlord. After any such cancellation, Landlord may directly lease the Premises to any party, including, without limitation, any party with whom Tenant previously discussed an assignment or subletting.
c.
Noncancellation. If Landlord does not exercise Landlord's option to cancel this Lease pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Landlord may withhold Landlord's consent to such proposed assignment or subletting, provided such consent is not unreasonably withheld.
11
ORIGINAL SIGNED LEASE
14.03. Bonus Rental. If Tenant receives rent or other consideration for any assignment or sublease in excess of the Rent or, in case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of such Rent that is fairly allocable to such portion, as determined by Landlord, after appropriate adjustments to assure that all other payments required hereunder are appropriately taken into account, Tenant shall pay Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the difference between each such payment of rent or other consideration and the Rent required hereunder after first deducting reasonable leasing commissions, attorneys' fees, and other costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the assignment or sublease.
14.04. Scope. If this Lease is (a) assigned, (b) the underlying beneficial interest of Tenant is transferred or (c) the Premises or any part thereof is sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved and apportion any excess rent so collected in accordance with the terms of Section 14.03; provided that no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant or covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. No assignment or subletting shall affect the continuing liability of Tenant (which, following assignment, shall be joint and several with the assignee), and Tenant shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.
14.05. Release. The term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises, or, if this is a sublease, of the Tenant's interest in the prior lease. In the event of a transfer of Landlord's title or interest in the Premises or this Lease, Landlord shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any unused Security Deposit held by Landlord. Upon such transfer or assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Landlord shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by Landlord. Subject to the foregoing, the obligations and/or covenants in this Lease to be performed by the Landlord shall be binding only upon the Landlord as hereinabove defined.
14.06. Holding Over. Tenant has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease. In the event that Tenant holds over, then the Monthly Base Rent shall be increased to one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Monthly Base Rent applicable during the month immediately preceding the expiration or termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant.
14.07. Waiver. Tenant waives notice of any default of any assignee or sublessee and agrees that Landlord may, at Landlord's option, proceed against Tenant without having taken action against or joined such assignee or sublessee, except that Tenant shall have the benefit of any indulgences, waivers and extensions of time granted to any such assignee or sublessee.
15.
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE, ATTORNMENT AND SUBORDINATION
15.01. Estoppel Certificate. Within ten (10) days after request by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver, in recordable form, an estoppel certificate in the form determined by Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee or purchaser, to any proposed mortgagee, purchaser or Landlord. Tenant's failure to deliver said statement in such time period shall be conclusive upon Tenant that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (b) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance and Tenant has no right of offset, counterclaim or deduction against Rent hereunder; and (c) no more than one month's Rent has been paid in advance.

Tenant shall, if requested, attom to the purchaser upon a foreclosure, sale of a grant of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Property, and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease in the event of (a) a foreclosure proceeding; (b) the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord, Landlord's successors or assigns which encumbers the Premises, any part thereof, or (c) the termination of a ground lease; or (d) a sale of the Property.
15.03. Subordination. The rights of Tenant hereunder are subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or lien resulting from any other method of financing or refinancing, now or hereafter in force against the Premises, and to all advances made upon the security thereof, provided, however, that notwithstanding such subordination, so long as the Tenant is not in default under this Lease, this Lease shall not be terminated or subject to termination by any trustees sale, action to enforce the security or proceeding or action in foreclosure. If requested, Tenant shall execute whatever documentation may be required to further effect the provisions of this Section 15.03.
16.
MISCELLANEOUS
16.01. Waiver. No waiver by Landlord of any default or breach of any covenant by Tenant hereunder shall be implied from any omission by Landlord to take action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified in the waiver and then said waiver shall be operative only for the time and to the extent therein stated. Waivers of any covenant, term or condition contained herein by Landlord shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval by Landlord to any act of Tenant requiring further consent or approval by Landlord shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's consent or approval to any subsequent similar acts. No waiver by Landlord of any provision under this Lease shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Landlord. Landlord's acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during the continuance of any breach of this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of any such breach of this Lease. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused by Tenant's breach of this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of Landlord's right to recover damages under Section 13.
16.02. Financial Statements. Within ten (10) days after Landlord's written request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord current audited financial statements of Tenant and any Guarantor.
16.03. Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant of a lesser amount than the Rent nor any endorsement on any check or letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction of full payment of Rent, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or to pursue other remedies.
16.04. Limitation of Landlord's Liability. The obligations of Landlord under this Lease are not personal obligations of the individual partners, directors, members, managers, officers and shareholders of Landlord, and Tenant shall look solely to the Building for satisfaction of any liability and shall not look to other assets of Landlord nor seek recourse against the assets of the individual partners, directors, members, managers, officers and shareholders of Landlord.
16.05. Entire Agreement. This Lease sets forth all the covenants, agreements, conditions and understandings between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Property, and there are no covenants, agreements, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between Landlord and Tenant other than as set forth herein.

16.06. Time. Time is of the essence of this Lease
12
ORIGINAL SIGNED LEASE
16.07. Attorneys' Fees. In any action which Landlord or Tenant brings to enforce its respective rights hereunder, the unsuccessful party shall pay all costs incurred by the prevailing party including reasonable attorneys' fees, to be fixed by the court, and said costs and attorneys' fees shall be a part of the judgment in said action.
16.08. Captions and Article Letters. The captions, article letters and table of contents appearing in this Lease are inserted as a matter of convenience and in no way define or limit the provisions of this Lease.
16.09. Severability. If any provision of this Lease or the application of any such provision shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable to any extent, the remaining provisions of this Lease and the application thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected, impaired or invalidated.
16.10. Applicable Regulations. This Lease, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
16.11. Rules and Regulations. At all times during the Term, Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations ("Rules and Regulations") for the Building and the Lot, as set forth in Exhibit H (and such amendments as Landlord may reasonably adopt) attached hereto and by this reference made a part thereof.
16.12. Examination of Lease. Submission of this Lease to Tenant does not constitute an option to Lease, and this Lease is not effective until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.
16.13. Surrender. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as existed on the date Tenant originally took possession thereof, including, but not limited to, all interior walls cleaned, all interior painted surfaces repainted in the original color, all holes in walls repaired, all carpets shampooed and cleaned, all HVAC equipment in operating order and in good repair, and all floors cleaned, waxed, and free of any Tenant-introduced marking or painting, all to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Tenant shall not commit or allow any waste or damage to be committed on any portion of the Premises or Building. All property that Tenant is required to surrender shall become Landlord's property upon the termination of this Lease. Landlord may cause any of said personal property that is not removed from the Premises within thirty (30) days after the date of any termination of this Lease to be removed from the Premises and store at Tenant's expense, or at Landlord's election said personal property thereafter shall belong to Landlord without the payment of any consideration, subject to the rights of any person holding a perfected security interest therein.

Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to vacating the Premises and shall meet with Landlord for a joint inspection of the Premises at the time of vacating, but nothing contained herein shall be construed as an extension of the Term or as a consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant. In the event of Tenant's failure to give such notice or participate in such joint inspection, Landlord's inspection at or after Tenant's vacating the Premises shall conclusively be deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant's responsibility for repairs and restoration.

16.16. Landlord's Right to Perform. Upon Tenant's failure to perform any obligation of Tenant hereunder, including without limitation, payment of Tenant's insurance premiums, charges of contractors who have supplied materials or labor to the Premises, etc., Landlord shall have the right to perform such obligations of Tenant on behalf of Tenant and/or to make payment on behalf of Tenant to such parties. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the reasonable cost of Landlord's performing such obligations on Tenant's behalf, including reimbursement of any amounts that may be expended by Landlord, plus interest at the maximum rate permitted by law as Additional Rent.
16.17. Modification for Lender. If, in connection with obtaining construction, interim or permanent financing for the Building, the lender shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not materially increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect the leasehold interest herby created or Tenant's rights hereunder.
16.18. Landlord's Lien. In addition to any statutory lien for Rent in Landlord's favor, Landlord shall have and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a continuing security interest for all Rent becoming due hereunder from Tenant, Upon all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture, inventory, accounts, contract rights, chattel paper and other personal property of Tenant situated on the Premises, and such property shall not be removed therefrom without the consent of Landlord until all arrearages in Rent shall first have been paid and discharged.

OPTION TO EXTEND TERM
a.
Option to Extend Term.
(i)
Landlord hereby grants to Tenant ONE ( 1 ) option (the "Option") to extend the Term of the Lease for an additional consecutive term of FIVE ( 5 ) years (the "Extension"), on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease, except the Monthly Base Rent shall be the amount determined and adjusted as set forth below. The Option shall be exercised only by written notice delivered to Landlord at least one hundred eighty (180) days, but not more than two hundred seventy (270) days before the expiration of the Term of the Lease. If Tenant fails to deliver Landlord written notice of the exercise of the Option within the time period prescribed above, such Option shall lapse, and there shall be no further right to extend the Term of the Lease. The Option shall be exercisable by Tenant on the express conditions that (i) at the time of the exercise of such Option, and thereafter at all times prior to the commencement of such Extension, an Event of Default shall not have occurred under the Lease and (ii) Tenant has not been ten (10) or more days late in the payment of Rent more than a total of three (3) times during the Term of the Lease. If Tenant properly exercises an Option, "Term", as used herein and in the Lease, shall be deemed to include the Extension.
(ii)
The Option is personal to Xxxxx, CRL Systems, Inc. If Tenant subleases any portion of the Premises or assigns or otherwise transfers any interest under the Lease prior to the exercise of the Option, the Option shall be void. If Tenant subleases any portion of the Premises or assigns or otherwise transfers any interest of Tenant under the Lease after the exercise of the Option, but prior to the commencement of the Extension, the Option shall be void and the Term of the Lease shall expire as if the Option were not exercised.
b.
Calculation of Monthly Base Rent.
The Monthly Base Rent during the Extension shall be increased, as of the commencement of the Extension ("Rental Adjustment Date") to the "Fair Market Value" of the Premises. The determination of Fair Market Value shall also incorporate any periodic market escalators arising during the Extension. Thereafter the Monthly Base Rent shall be increased as determined below. In no event shall the Monthly Base Rent for the Extension be less than the Monthly Base Rent paid during the last month of the Term immediately preceding the Extension.
The term "Fair Market Value" of the Premises for the purposes of the Lease, shall mean the minimum monthly rent paid by new, non-extending tenants for comparable space under leases entered into within the one year period prior to the Lease renewal in comparable projects in the San Leandro marketplace, on a Full Service basis, taking into account the location of the Premises in the San Leandro marketplace, its accessibility and its visibility from adjoining streets and any freeway off-ramp, and other amenities in the San Leandro marketplace. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Fair Market Value shall not include any reduction factor attributable to brokerage commissions. The determination of Fair Market Value shall also incorporate any periodic market escalators arising during the Extension.
The Monthly Base Rent shall be determined in the following manner: Landlord shall determine the Fair Market Value of the Premises by using its good faith judgment. Landlord shall provide written notice of such amount within thirty (30) days (but in no event later than sixty (60) days) after Tenant provides the notice to Landlord exercising Tenant's option rights which require a calculation of the Fair Market Value of the Premises. Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days (the "Tenant's Review Period") after receipt of Landlord's notice of the new rental within which to accept such rental. In the event Tenant fails to accept in writing such rental proposed by Landlord then such proposal shall be deemed rejected, and Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon such Fair Market Value of the Premises, using their best good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Tenant's Review Period (the "Outside Agreement Date"), then each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope their final proposal as to the Fair Market Value of the Premises and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with subsections (i) through (v) below. In the event that Landlord fails to timely generate the initial written notice of Landlord's opinion of the Fair Market Value of the Premises which triggers the negotiation period of this Section, then Tenant may commence such negotiations by providing the initial notice, in which event Landlord shall have fifteen (15) days ("Landlord's Review Period") after receipt of Tenant's notice of the new rental within which to accept such rental. In the event Landlord fails to accept in writing such rental proposed by Tenant, then such proposal shall be deemed rejected, and Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to agree upon such Fair Market Value of the Premises, using their best good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Landlord's Review Period (which shall be, in such event, the "Outside Agreement Date" in lieu of the above definition of such date), then each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope their final proposal as to Fair Market Value of the Premises and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with subsections (i) through (v) below:
(i)
The Landlord and Tenant shall meet with each other within five (5) business days of the Outside Agreement Date and exchange the sealed envelopes in each other's presence. If the Landlord and Tenant do not mutually agree upon the Fair Market Value of the Premises within one (1) business day of the exchange of envelopes, then, within ten (10) business days of the exchange of envelopes Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon and jointly appoint a single neutral arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker or Certified Property Manager who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of commercial properties in the San Leandro marketplace. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall consult with such broker as to their opinion as to the Fair Market Value of the Premises prior to the appointment. The determination of the arbitrator shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Value of the Premises is the closest to the actual Fair Market Value of the Premises as determined by the arbitrator, taking into account the requirements of this subsection regarding same. Such arbitrator may have such hearings and require such additional information as the arbitrator, in his or her sole discretion, determines is necessary.
(ii)
The arbitrator shall, within thirty (30) days of his or her appointment, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Value of the Premises, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.
(iii)
The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

(v)
The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.
18.
SECURITY DEPOSIT
Provided Tenant is not then, and has not been, in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under the terns of this Lease, at the commencement of the 25th month of the Lease, Landlord shall remit to Tenant from funds constituting the Security Deposit the sum of Four Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Five Dollars ($4,665) thereby reducing the Security Deposit to Ten Thousand Three Hundred Thirty Five Dollars ($10,335).
19.
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO PURCHASE
Tenant shall have a Right of First Offer to purchase the Property commonly known as 00000-00000 Xxxxx Xxxx., Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX consisting of approximately eighteen thousand two hundred sixty four (18,264) rentable square feet.
Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, of the date when said Property will become available for purchase and the terms under which Landlord would be willing to sell said Property. Tenant shall then have five (5) business days after receipt of notice to notify Landlord of its intent to enter into negotiations for a purchase, under the terms outlined in Landlord's notification letter and under such other terms and conditions as may be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Said negotiations of the terms and conditions of a sale of the Property must be mutually agreed upon and completed within thirty (30) days of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written notice of intent. In the event Landlord does not receive written notice within said five (5) day period, then this Right of First Offer shall expire and Landlord shall be free to sell the Property to another party and this Section shall be rendered null and void. Failure of Landlord to notify Tenant of the sale of the Property shall in no way constitute failure, breach or default of this Lease. This Right of First Offer is personal to Xxxxx, CRL Systems, Inc. and is not transferable or assignable in any form or manner. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed as giving Tenant an option or a first refusal to purchase the Property.
Landlord shall not sell or agree to sell the Property without first offering the Property to Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof. The word "sell" shall not include a conveyance or transfer by gift, bequest, or inheritance, or Landlord's hypothecation or encumbrance of the Property.
Before Landlord sells or agrees to sell the Property to a third party, Landlord shall offer ( the "First Offer") to sell the Property to Tenant, in writing and on terms and conditions substantially similar to those proposed for the sale of the Property to any third party. The First Offer shall, at a minimum, include the following information: (A) the purchase price; (B) the method of purchase price payment; (C) the amount and terms of any proposed Landlord financing in connection with the proposed sale; (D) the amount of any xxxxxxx money deposit; (E) the time and location for the close of escrow; and (F) the other material terms and conditions of the proposed sale of the Property.
Landlord shall have twenty (20) days from the date of the First Offer to accept the First Offer (the "Acceptance Period") by delivering to Landlord the acceptance on or before 5:00 p.m. on the last day of the Acceptance Period. If Tenant fails to accept the First Offer on or before the last day of the Acceptance Period, the First Offer shall be deemed rejected.
If Tenant responds to the First Offer with anything other than an unequivocal, unconditional acceptance or rejection, the right of first offer shall terminate and the response shall be deemed an offer to purchase the Property on the terms and conditions in the response (the "Counter Offer"). Landlord shall be entitled to accept or reject the Counter Offer at Landlord's sole discretion. If the Counter Offer is rejected, Landlord shall have no further obligations under this Section 18 and Landlord shall have the right to sell the Property to a third party.
If Tenant accepts the First Offer, Tenant shall have sixty (60) days following acceptance of the First Offer (the "Closing Period") to consummate the purchase of the Property pursuant to the terms and conditions of the First Offer. If Tenant fails to consummate the purchase of the Property within the Closing Period, any xxxxxxx money paid by Tenant pursuant to the acceptance shall be paid to Landlord as Landlord's liquidated damages, and the agreement to purchase the Property together with Tenant's rights under this Section 18 shall be terminated. After the termination, Landlord shall be free to enter into an agreement concerning the sale of the Property with any third party on whatever terms Landlord may choose without further obligation under this Section 18.
If after Tenant rejects the First Offer, Landlord negotiates with a third party and Landlord is otherwise willing to enter into an agreement with that party on terms substantially less favorable to Landlord than those contained in the First Offer, then Landlord shall again offer to sell the Property to Tenant on those new terms by giving Tenant written notice (the "Second Offer"). Tenant shall have five (5) business days from receipt of the Second Offer to accept the new terms. If Tenant fails to accept the new terms or rejects the new terms in writing, Landlord shall be free to consummate the transaction with the third party. If Tenant accepts the new terms, then Tenant shall immediately consummate the transaction with Landlord on the terms and conditions specified in the Second Offer. The consummation shall be the later of the time specified for consummation in the Second Offer or sixty (60) days following the date of the Second Offer.
The First Offer Right will not apply to a first deed of trust or first mortgage given by Landlord to a lender in good faith and for value or in the event of any judicial or non judicial foreclosure and resultant sale and purchase thereunder or any deed in lieu thereof. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the First Offer Right shall not preclude or in any way hinder the ability of Landlord to secure financing or any lender holding a first deed of trust or first mortgage given in good faith and for value in recognizing its remedies thereunder.
Term. Lessee's right of first offer shall begin with the Commencement Date of this Lease and continue until the first of the following events to occur:
(i)
the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term; or
(ii)
the purchase of the Property by Tenant."
