Lessee shall use Lessor’s contractor and shall submit all plans and designs for the improvements to Lessor for approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Pursuant to Civil Code section 1938, Lessor states that the Premises has not undergone inspection by a “Certified Access Specialist” (“CASp”) to determine whether the Premises meets all applicable construction-related accessibility standards under California Civil Code section 55.53. A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or Lessor may not prohibit the Lessee from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the Lessee, if requested by the Lessee. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs to correct violations of the construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.

Option To Extend:

Lessor hereby grants to Lessee the option to extend the term of the Lease for one (1) additional, five (5)-year period (an “Option”), commencing when the then-current term expires upon each and all of the following conditions:

 

  A.

In order to exercise the Option, Lessee must give written notice pursuant to the Lease of such election to Lessor and Lessor must receive the same at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that the option period would commence, time being of the essence. If proper notification of the exercise of the Option is not given, Lessee shall have no further or additional right to extend the term of the Lease.

 

  B.

Except for the provisions of the Lease granting this option to extend the term, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except where specifically modified by this option to extend shall apply. This option to extend is personal to the Lessee and its affiliates.

 

  C.

The Base Rent in effect at the expiration of the last month of the Term of this Lease shall be adjusted to reflect the then-current fair market rental for comparable space in the Building or Project and in other similar buildings in the same rental market, taking into account the specific provisions of this Lease which will remain constant, and the Building amenities, location, identity, quality, age, condition, term of lease., tenant improvements. services provided, and other pertinent items (“Adjusted Base Rent”). In no event shall the Adjusted Base Rent be less than the Base Rent in effect at the expiration of the then-current term of the Lease. Lessor shall advise Lessee of the Adjusted Base Rent for the Premises for the renewal term based on Lessor’s reasonable determination of fair market rental value no later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current term of this Lease. Lessor and Lessee shall negotiate in good faith to agree on the fair market rental value of the Premises for the renewal term. If Lessee and Lessor are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable rental rate for any such increase period within thirty (30) days after notification by Lessor-to Lessee of Lessor’s reasonable determination of the Adjusted Base Rent for the increase period, but in any even no later than the date which is sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term, then on or before such date Lessor and Lessee shall each appoint a licensed real estate broker with at least ten (10) years’ experience in leasing industrial space in the area in which the Building is located to act as arbitrators. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall determine the fair market rental value for the Premises for the increase period based on the above criteria and each shall submit his or her determination of such fair market rental value to Lessor and Lessee in writing within thirty (30) days after appointment. If the two arbitrator so appointed cannot agree to the fair market rental value for the increase period within such 30-day period, the two arbitrators shall within five (5) days thereafter appoint a third arbitrator who shall be a licensed real estate broker with at least ten (10) years’ experience in leasing industrial space in the area in which the Building is located. The third arbitrator so appointed shall independently determine the fair market rental value for the Premises for the increase period within fifteen (15) days after appointment by selecting from the proposals submitted by each of the first two arbitrators the one that most closely approximates the third arbitrator’s determination of such fair market rental value. The third arbitrator shall have no right to adopt a compromise or middle ground or any modification of either of the proposals submitted by the first two arbitrators. The proposal chosen by the third arbitrator as most closely approximating the third arbitrator’s determination of the fair market rental value for the increase period shall constitute the decision and award of the arbitrators and shall be final and binding on the parties. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the arbitrator appointed by such party and one-

  half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of the third arbitrator. If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator, or if either of the first two arbitrators fails to submit his or her proposal of the fair market rental value to the other party, in each case within the time periods set forth above, then the decision of the other party’s arbitrator shall be considered final and binding.

 

  D.

Lessee’s right to exercise the option to extend shall be subject to the condition (which condition is solely for Lessor’s benefit and may, in Lessor’s sole discretion, be waived) that at the time of exercise and at all times thereafter, but prior to the commencement of such Option Term, Lessee shall not be in default under this Lease beyond any applicable grace or cure period provided herein.

 

11.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessee may assign its entire interest under the Lease or sublease all or any part of the Premises to an (i) Affiliate (defined below), (ii) a successor to Lessee by merger or (iii) a purchaser of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or capital stock (each a “Permitted Transferee”), without the consent of Lessor (a “Permitted Transfer”), provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied in Lessor’s reasonable discretion:

 

  A.

Lessee is not in default (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) hereunder at the time of the proposed Transfer;

The term “Affiliate” means any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Lessee.

 

13.

No Further Modifications. Except as expressly modified in this Third Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Lease are hereby acknowledged by Lessor and Lessee and shall remain in full force and effect. The terms of this Third Amendment shall control over any other inconsistent terms of the Lease.
