Related to Lessees Option to Renew and Extend

• OPTION TO RENEW Provided Tenant is not, and has not been (more than two (2) times), in default under any of the terms and conditions contained herein, Tenant shall have two (2) additional consecutive five (5) year options to renew and extend the Rental Term as provided herein (“Option”). The Option shall only be exercised by Tenant delivering written notice thereof to Landlord no earlier than the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Rental Term and no later than the date which is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Rental Term (the “Option Notice”). The Base Monthly Rent during the first year of each extension periods shall be the lesser of: (i) the then current Fair Market Rate (as defined) for comparable space within the Project, and (ii) the Base Monthly Rent then in effect for the Leased Premises during the last month of the initial Rental Term (increasing each year thereafter by 3%, compounded). “Fair Market Rate” means the market rate for rent chargeable for the Leased Premises based upon the following factors applicable to the Leased Premises or any comparable premises: rent, escalation, term, size, expense stop, tenant allowance, existing tenant finishes, parking availability, and location and proximity to services. Within thirty (30) days of Option Notice, Tenant shall notify Landlord of Tenant’s option of Fair Market Rate for the applicable renewal period. If Landlord disagrees with Tenant’s opinion of the Fair Market Rate, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s opinion of Fair Market Rate within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s opinion of Fair Market Rate (“Landlord’s Value Notice”). If the parties are unable to resolve their differences within thirty (30) days thereafter, Landlord or Tenant, at its sole option, may terminate this Lease, effective as of the last day of the then-current Rental Term. Alternatively, Tenant and Landlord may mutually agree to submit the determination of Fair Market Rate to a “Market Assessment Process,” as provided in Exhibit “F” – Market Assessment Process.

• Option to Extend Lease Term At the expiration of the original Lease Term, Tenant may extend this Lease as to the entire Premises or a portion of the Premises for two (2) extended terms of five (5) years each (each an “Extended Term”) by giving Landlord written notice (the “Option Notice”) of its intention to do so not later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the original Lease Term, and thereafter twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the applicable Extended Term; provided, however, that Tenant is not in material default beyond any applicable notice and cure period under the Lease on the date of giving such notice or on the date of commencement of such Extended Term. The Option Notice shall set forth Tenant’s election to extend the Lease for all or a portion of the Premises. If Tenant elects to extend the Lease for only a portion of the Premises, the portion of the Premises for which Tenant elects not to extend the Lease shall be: (i) either located entirely on one floor of the Premises or located on one entire floor and a portion of the other floor; (ii) a minimum of 15,000 RSF; (iii) adjacent to a window line and easily accessible; and (iv) shall be in a readily marketable and leasable location. Landlord shall be responsible for any and all costs to separate the portion of the Premises for which Tenant elects not to extend the Lease from the remainder of the Premises such that the space is a separate easily accessible and readily marketable space promptly following the commencement of the applicable Extended Term. Any termination of the entire Lease shall result in automatic termination of this option. Tenant’s right to extend the Lease Term provided herein is personal to Tenant and may not be assigned or otherwise transferred except in connection with a permitted assignment of this Lease, including to a Tenant’s Affiliate. The Extended Term shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the following rights of Tenant during the original Lease Term shall not apply during such Extended Term unless granted as part of the Fair Market Rental: (a) any right to rent-free possession; (b) any right to further extension of the Lease Term beyond the Extended Terms set forth herein above; (c) any right to continue to pay the same Base Rent; (d) any right to additional Tenant Allowance; (e) any right to terminate the Extended Term early; (f) any right to continue to exclude HVAC Capital Expenditures; (g) cost of security for the Building; and (h) the right to the continuation of any cap on Controllable Operating Expenses from the previous year (it being understood that the Operating Expenses for the first twelve (12) months of each new Extended Term shall be the actual Operating Expenses without any cap and thereafter the cap set forth in Section 4.2(e) shall apply). Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the Base Rent during each Extended Term shall be equal to ninety-five (95%) of the Base Rent component of the “Fair Market Rental” and one hundred percent (100%) of the economic concessions, including without limitation, free rent, improvement allowance, base year and other monetary concessions, component of the Fair Market Rental for the Premises, as determined by as follows:

• Option to Extend On the conditions (which conditions LESSOR may waive, at its election, by written notice to LESSEE at any time) that LESSEE is not in default of its covenants and obligations under the Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, both as of the time of exercise of the Option to Extend, as hereinafter defined, and at the commencement of the Extension Period, as hereinafter defined, then LESSEE shall have the right to extend the term hereof (the “Option to Extend”) for one additional term of five years, ending on March 31, 2019 (the “Extension Period’), to commence immediately upon the expiration of the then current term. LESSEE may exercise such Option to Extend by giving written notice to LESSOR (the “Extension Notice”) on or before the date which no less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term. Such Extension Period shall be upon the same terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the Base Rent payable shall be set at the then fair market effective rent for the Leased Premises. In no event, however, shall the Base Rent be less than the then-current Base Rent at the expiration of the current Term. For the purpose of this Section, fair market effective rent shall mean the Base Rent plus such additional financial terms in the nature of rent and rent adjustments customarily then being included in leases for similar space within the greater Waltham area. LESSEE shall, during the Extension Period, continue to pay its proportionate share of LESSOR’s Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs. Said fair market effective rent for the Leased Premises shall be agreed upon by LESSOR and LESSEE; provided, however, if LESSOR and LESSEE are unable to agree on said fair market effective rent within thirty (30) days of the date of the Extension Notice, said fair market effective rent shall be conclusively determined by three (3) appraisers. Within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, LESSOR and LESSEE shall each select an appraiser, who shall select a third. Should the two appraisers fail to agree on a third within fifteen (15) days of the date on which such appraisers have been appointed, or if either LESSOR or LESSEE shall fail to appoint an appraiser within the time provided, such appraiser shall be appointed by the American Institute of Appraisers. Each party shall bear the cost of the appraiser selected by such party, and the cost of the third appraiser shall be shared equally by LESSOR and LESSEE. If the three appraisers are unable to agree upon such fair market effective rent within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the third appraiser, the fair market effective rent shall be that determined by the appraiser not selected by either LESSOR or LESSEE.

• Landlord’s Option to Repair Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, Building and/or Project, in which event this Lease shall terminate, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the damage, such notice will include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises, but this Lease may be so terminated Landlord may so elect only if the Building or Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project or ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies or that portion of the proceeds from Landlord’s insurance policies allocable to the Building or the Project, as the case may be; (iv) Landlord decides to rebuild the Building or Common Areas so that they will be substantially different structurally or architecturally; (v) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term; or (vi) any owner of any other portion of the Project, other than Landlord, does not intend to repair the damage to such portion of the Project; provided, however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or a portion thereof or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy and as a result of such damage the Premises are unfit for occupancy, and provided that Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, and either (a) the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s contractor, be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after being commenced, or (b) the damage occurs during the last twelve months of the Lease Term and will reasonably require in excess of ninety (90) days to repair, Tenant may elect, no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the damage and not later than ninety (90) days after the date of such damage, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant.

• Option to Lease The Receiver hereby grants to the Assuming Institution an exclusive option for the period of ninety (90) days commencing the day after Bank Closing to cause the Receiver to assign to the Assuming Institution any or all leases for leased Bank Premises, if any, which have been continuously occupied by the Assuming Institution from Bank Closing to the date it elects to accept an assignment of the leases with respect thereto to the extent such leases can be assigned; provided, that the exercise of this option with respect to any lease must be as to all premises or other property subject to the lease. If an assignment cannot be made of any such leases, the Receiver may, in its discretion, enter into subleases with the Assuming Institution containing the same terms and conditions provided under such existing leases for such leased Bank Premises or other property. The Assuming Institution shall give notice to the Receiver within the option period of its election to accept or not to accept an assignment of any or all leases (or enter into subleases or new leases in lieu thereof). The Assuming Institution agrees to assume all leases assigned (or enter into subleases or new leases in lieu thereof) pursuant to this Section 4.6. If the Assuming Institution gives notice of its election not to accept an assignment of a lease for one or more of the leased Bank Premises within seven (7) days of Bank Closing, then, not withstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Assuming Institution shall not be liable for any of the costs or fees associated with appraisals for the Fixtures, Furniture and Equipment located on such leased Bank Premises.

• Option to Extend Term Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Paragraphs 1.3, 3.1 or elsewhere in the Lease, subject to the terms of Paragraph 39 of the Lease, Lessor hereby grants Lessee a one time option to extend the Term ("Option to Extend") for an additional period of five (5) years ("Option Period"). Such right shall apply only to Lessee's entire Premises, shall be for a term that shall begin immediately following Lessee's initial Term and shall be exercised by Lessee by giving written notice to Lessor at lease nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term. If Lessee exercises its Option to Extend the Term, Lessee shall continue to lease the Premises for such extended period upon the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease except that the Base Rent payable by Lessee to Lessor during the Option Period shall be at 95% of the prevailing fair market rental rate for the Premises based upon the prevailing fair market rental rate for similar space in similar industrial buildings within the vicinity of the building. Lessor shall provide Lessee with written notice of the fair market rental rate for the Premises, not later than thirty (30) days following receipt of Lessee's exercise notice. Lessee shall have twenty (20) days ("Lessee's Review Period") after receipt of Lessor's notice of the fair market rental rate within which to accept such fair market rental rate or to reasonable object thereto in writing. If Lessee objects to the fair market rental rate submitted by Lessor, Lessor and Lessee shall attempt in good faith to agree upon such fair market rental rate, using their best good faith efforts. If Lessor and Lessee fail to reach agreement on such fair market rental rate within fifteen (15) days following Lessee's Review Period (the "Outside Agreement Date") then, at Lessee's election delivered to Lessor in writing, Lessee may either cancel its exercise of its Option to Extend the

• Expansion Option The Borrower may from time to time elect to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments in minimum increments of $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree) so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $50,000,000. The Borrower may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Revolving Credit Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”; provided that no Ineligible Institution may be an Augmenting Lender), which agree to increase their existing Revolving Credit Commitments, or provide new Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto. No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15. Increases and new Revolving Credit Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments (or in the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 6.2 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenant contained in Section 9.3 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents and opinions consistent with those delivered on the effective date as to the organizational power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase. On the effective date of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans as of the date of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Credit Loans, with related LIBOR Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.9). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each LIBOR Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related LIBOR Periods. Nothing contained in this Section 2.15 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder.

• Expansion Options Tenant shall have expansion rights as to spaces described below. Option Spaces “1”, “2” and “3” below shall be subject to Landlord’s and Tenant’s final approval of exact location of such Option Space based upon the Tenant’s final determination of the exact location and size of the Leased Premises, which, as set forth herein, shall be determined no later than March 1, 2013, it being intended by both parties that Option Space 1 shall be a full floor and shall be contiguous to the Leased Premises and that Option Space 2 shall be a full floor and shall be contiguous to the Leased Premises or to Option Space 1. For example only, if the initial Leased Premises includes premises on the 5th floor, then Option Space 1 and Option Space 2 will be substantially as depicted on Schedule “G-1” hereto, but if the initial Leased Premises do not include premises on the 5th floor, then Option Space 1 and Option Space 2 will be on the 5th and 4th floors, respectively. The determination of the location of Option Spaces shall be memorialized in writing by the parties on or before March 15, 2013 following Tenant’s election as to the size of the initial Leased Premises. If leased by Tenant within the required time periods, Option Space 1 and Option Space 2 shall be leased on the same terms and conditions of the initial Lease, with the Allowance, Abatement and any other rental concessions prorated for the remaining Term, all as set forth below, and the Term for such space(s) shall be co-terminus with the initial Term. If leased by Tenant, Option Space 3 will be leased in accordance with the terms below. Tenant’s expansion options are as follows:

• Renewal Option Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, and Tenant shall have, the right and option to extend the Term of this Lease for one (1) period of five (5) years (the “Renewal Term”). The Renewal Term shall commence upon the day next following the last day of the initial Term. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its election to extend this Lease for the Renewal Term not less than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term, time being of the essence with respect to such notification. Notice thereof shall be deemed sufficient if given in the manner hereinafter provided. If Landlord does not receive such written notice as and when required herein, the Renewal Term shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and this Lease shall expire as of the then-scheduled expiration date. The Renewal Term shall be upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, except that the Fixed Rent shall be increased by adding the CPI Adjustment Amount (defined below) to the then-current Fixed Rent. The “CPI Adjustment Amount” is calculated by multiplying the Fixed Rent payable for the last year of the initial Term by a ratio, the numerator of which is the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, Cleveland-Akron, All Items (1982-1984=100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor (the “Index”) on the date nearest the commencement date of the Renewal Term, and the denominator of which is the Index as of the first day of the third Lease Year. If, during the Lease Term the Bureau of Labor Statistics ceases to maintain the Index, then such other index or standard as will most nearly accomplish the aim or purpose of the Index shall be used in determining the amount of any such adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to renew this Lease if, either at the time Tenant notifies Landlord of its election to extend this Lease or upon the commencement date of the Renewal Term, Tenant is in default hereunder beyond any applicable grace or cure period.

• Options to Renew Provided that no Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease exists as of the date of exercise of the applicable option or at the expiration of the initial term or preceding Option Term, and provided further that Tenant has not assigned this Lease, Tenant shall have the option to extend the initial lease term for four (4) additional, successive terms of five (5) years each (each, an "OPTION TERM"). Tenant shall exercise the option, if at all, by delivering to Landlord written notice of the exercise no sooner than fifteen (15) months nor later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term or preceding Option Term, as applicable. Tenant's right to exercise each option shall be conditioned upon Tenant delivering to Landlord with Tenant's notice of exercise, current financial reports which evidence that Tenant's financial condition on the date of exercise is equal to or better than Tenant's financial condition on the date of execution of this Lease. If Tenant's financial condition has declined in Landlord's business judgment, Landlord may refuse to accept Tenant's exercise unless Tenant agrees to provide a new Letter(s) of Credit with terms and amounts acceptable to Landlord in its business judgment to secure Tenant's obligations during the applicable Option Term. All terms, provisions, conditions and covenants of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect during the Option Terms, provided that Tenant shall have no additional option periods and the Base Rent payable during the first Lease Year of each Option Term (and for increases during the Option Term, as applicable) shall be the market rate then prevailing as projected for the commencement of the applicable Option Term, for premises comparable in size, quality and location in comparable class R&D/Office buildings throughout the Tri-Valley/Livermore area taking into account all relevant factors (the "MARKET RENT"). Base Rent for the Option Term shall be determined prior to the commencement of the applicable Option Term in the following manner: If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the market rent within sixty (60) days after Tenant gives notice of its exercise of the Option Term, then Tenant shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the option by delivering written notice within ten (10) days following the expiration of such 60-day period. In the event of such revocation, Tenant shall forfeit all rights to thereafter exercise any option under this Lease and the Lease shall terminate at the end of the initial term, or then Option Term, as applicable. If Tenant does not revoke its exercise and elects to proceed with the determination of market rent, then the monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent payable during the Option Term shall be determined by appraisal in the following manner: If Landlord and Tenant can agree on a single appraiser, then the rate set by such appraiser as set forth below shall be the Base Rent for the Option Term. If the parties cannot agree on a single appraiser, then each party, by giving written notice to the other party, shall appoint as an appraiser an experienced commercial real estate agent in the area in which the Premises are located. Said appointment shall be made within ten (10) days following the expiration of the sixty (60) day period aforesaid, and if one of the parties does not appoint an appraiser within that time, the single appraiser named shall be the sole appraiser and shall set the monthly Base Rent for the Option Term. If the two appraisers are appointed as provided herein, each shall independently prepare an estimate of the market rent within sixty (60) days. If the higher of the two estimates so determined is within ten percent (10%) of the lower estimate, then the monthly Base Rent to be paid by Tenant during the Option Term shall be the average of the amounts determined by the appraisers. If the difference between the two estimates exceeds ten percent (10%) of the lower one, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications set forth hereinabove within ten (10) days thereafter who will likewise independently estimate the market rate within sixty (60) days after the appointment. The average of the two closest appraisals shall be set as the monthly Base Rent. Each party shall pay the fees of the appraiser appointed by such party and the parties will share equally the fees of any third appraiser appointed pursuant to this Section A-2.1. Notwithstanding the above, the Base Rent payable by Tenant during each Option Term shall be in addition to all Additional Rent and other sums and charges payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the options granted herein are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned with an assignment of this Lease except in connection with an assignment to an entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant (as defined in Article 20 of this Lease) or which is a successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of Tenant's assets with Landlord's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
