All repairs and alterations to the Premises, including the Second Floor Premises shall be performed in accordance with Article 7 of the Lease (“Tenant Improvements”). Tenant shall submit plans and specifications (“Plans and Specifications”) for the Tenant Improvements for Landlord’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall have the right to approve Tenant’s contractor and subcontractors (collectively, “Contractors”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall have five (5) business days to approve the Plans and Specifications and Contractors and the failure to issue a disapproval within this time period shall be deemed an approval of the submitted items.

(ii) Tenant will accept the Premises, including the Second Floor Premises as of the Second Floor Commencement Date in its “as-is” condition, with no additional obligation on the part of Landlord to repair, remodel or refurbish the Premises, including the Second Floor Premises.

(iii) The Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord after the completion of all tenant improvements within thirty (30) days after delivery by Tenant to Landlord of (i) invoices marked paid and other evidence as Landlord shall reasonably require of the cost of the design of the tenant improvements and the cost of the tenant improvements; (ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that all of the Tenant Improvements constructed to date have been satisfactorily completed in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, upon certifications reasonably satisfactory to Landlord delivered by Tenant and Tenant’s architect; (iii) unconditional final lien releases from the general contractor and each subcontractor; (iv) a cost breakdown of Tenant’s final and total construction costs incurred in connection with the Tenant Improvements, together with receipted invoices showing evidence of full payment therefor; (v) copies of permits required in connection with the Tenant Improvements and all governmental approvals, sign offs and certificates of occupancy with respect to the Tenant Improvements, and (vi) the Lease shall be in full force and effect and there shall exist no event of default under the Lease.

(h) Option to Extend Term. The following section is incorporated into the Lease:

(i) Tenant is hereby granted an option to extend the term of the Lease (the “Option Term”) from the Termination Date to May 31, 2019 (the “Extended Termination Date”) by giving written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intent to exercise such option (the “Option Notice”) no later than May 31, 2013. The Option Term shall be on the same terms and conditions in effect immediately before the commencement of the Option Term, except that the rent shall be set at 95% of the Fair Market Lease Rate (as hereinafter defined) for comparable space in the Berkeley area; provided that in no event shall the rental rate for the Option Term be less than the rental rate as of the last day immediately before the commencement of the Option Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, if Tenant is in default in the payment of rent, in the making of other payments required to be made by Tenant under this Lease, or otherwise under this Lease on the date the Option Notice is delivered to Landlord or on the date the Option Term is to commence, the Option Term shall not commence and this Lease shall expire as of the Termination Date.

(ii) Fair Market Lease Rate. Landlord shall give Tenant notice (“Landlords Notice) of the fair market lease rate (including fair market increases during the Option Term) after receiving Tenants written notice of intent to exercise the Option, provided that Landlords Notice shall not be delivered later than 120 days prior to the commencement of the Option Term. If Tenant believes that the fair market lease rate as established by Landlord is incorrect, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within 20 days of Tenants receipt of the notice from Landlord that Tenant desires to submit the matter to appraisal with a designation of a commercial real estate broker with at least three years experience in the office leasing market in Berkeley and Emeryville. If Landlord agrees with the identity of such appraiser, it shall within 10 days notify the appraiser and Tenant that such appraiser shall determine the fair market lease rate (including fair market increases during the Option Term). If not, Landlord shall submit the name of its appraiser with the same qualifications set forth above to Tenant within said 10 days. The two appraisers so selected shall choose a third appraiser with the same qualifications set forth above and the three together shall determine the fair market lease rate (including fair market increases during the Option Term). If the two appraisers cannot select a third appraiser within 20 days after Landlord submits the name of its appraiser, either party may at any time apply to the presiding judge of any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of the third appraiser. If the three appraisers are unable to agree on the fair market lease rate they shall each determine the fair market lease rate assuming annual CPI increases during the Option Term and then average their determinations by tossing out the high and low appraisal and accepting the middle appraisal as the fair market lease rate. The costs of the appraisal process shall be borne by Tenant unless the fair market lease rate as determined by the appraisal is more than 10% below the lease rate set forth in Landlord’s Notice in which case Landlord and Tenant shall share the reasonable costs of the appraisal process equally. The appraisal process shall be completed as quickly as reasonably possible. If for any reason the Option Term commences prior to the conclusion of the appraisal process, Tenant shall continue to pay the monthly base rent then in effect to Landlord plus 5% of such amount, pending completion of the appraisal process, at which time all surplus funds, if any, shall be distributed to Tenant in accordance with the outcome of the appraisal process, and Tenant shall subsequently be bound by the lease rate as determined by the appraisal process. The rent during the Option Term shall continue to be adjusted as agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant or as determined by the appraisal process.

(iii) Payment of Commission. In connection with the Option, Tenant shall not use the services of a broker or other real estate licensee, except solely for determining fair market rent as more particularly specified above. In the event of a claim for broker’s fee, finder’s fee, commission or other similar compensation in connection with the exercise of such option based on a relationship with or through Tenant, Tenant hereby agrees to protect, defend and indemnify Landlord against and hold Landlord harmless from any and all damages, liabilities, costs, expenses and losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) which Landlord may sustain or incur by reason of such claim. Landlord hereby agrees to protect, defend and indemnify Tenant against and hold Tenant harmless from any and all damages, liabilities, costs, expenses and losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) which Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of a claim for broker’s fee, finder’s fee, commission or other similar compensation in connection with the exercise of the Option based on a relationship with or through Landlord.

4. Waiver.
