18. OPTION TO EXTEND. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant three (3) options (each, an
"Option" and , collectively, the "Options") to extend the term of the Lease for an additional two (2) years
each (each, an "Option Period") upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease.
Tenant shall have no right to extend the term of the Lease except as expressly provided herein. The
Options shall be personal to Advantage Peak LLC, a California limited liability company, and shall not be
transferrable or assignable to any assignee of this Lease, or any other third party. The first Option Period
shall commence upon the expiration of the initial term of the Lease ("Initial Term"), the second Option
Period shall commence upon the expiration of the first Option Period (if applicable), and the third Option
Period shall commence upon the expiration of the second Option Period (if applicable). Tenant may not
exercise the second Option if Tenant has not exercised the first Option, and Tenant may not exercise the
third Option if Tenant has not exercised the second Option. Each Option shall be exercised, if at all, by
Tenant's delivery of written notice of exercise to Landlord no later than nine (9) month s nor earlier than
twelve (12) months prior to the expiration date of the Initial Term with respect to the first Option, no later
than nine (9) months nor earlier than twelve ( 12) months prior to the expiration of the first Option Period
with respect to the second Option and no later than nine (9) months nor earlier than twelve (12) months
prior to the expiration of the second Option Period with res pect to the third Option.
The Base Rent to be paid during the first year of the first Option Period s hall be the Prevailing
Market Rent, as hereinafter defined. For each succeeding year of all Option Periods, Base Rent shall be
increased by three percent of the preceding year's Base Rent. As used herein, the tenn "Prevailing
Market Rent" shall mean the rent (including any additional rent a nd/or applicable base year) and all
other monetaiy payments and escalations that Landlord could obtain from a third party tenant comparable
to Tenant desiring to lease the Premises for the first Option Period, taking into account the age of the
Premises, the size of the Premises, the type and quality of tenant improvements, the location of the
Premises, the quality of construction of the Premises, the services provided under the terms of the Lease,
the rent and brokers ' commissions then being paid for the renewal of leases of space comparable to the
Premises in the City of Gilroy, and all other factors, including any rent abatement concessions, tenant
improvement allowances and all other concessions then prevailing in the market for office/r esearch and
development buildings in Gilroy , that would be relevant to a third party in determining the rent such party
would be willing to pay to lease the Premises for the first Option Period; provided, however, in no event
s hall the Prevailing Market Re nt be less than the Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord at the
expiration of the Initial Term. If (i) a default by Tenant exists or ripens under any of the terms , covenants,
or conditions of this Lease or (ii) Tenant does not occupy the entire Premises, either at the time Tenant
exercises the applicable Option or at any time thereafter prior to the commencement date of the applicable
Option Period, then in each case, Tenant's exercise of the applicable Option shall be of no force and
effect and Tenant shall have no rights hereunder to extend the term of the Lease.
On o r before five (5) days after Tenant provides Landlord with notice of Tenant's exercise of the
first Option, Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to agree upon the Prevailing Market Rent.
If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement on the Prevailing Market Rent within ten ( 10) days
after the date negotiations commence, then the Prevailing Market Rent shall be determined as follows:
4820~468-4725v5
SSCORDELIS\04706083 -11-
(a) If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Prevailing Market Rent within
said ten ( I 0) day period, then, within five ( 5) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall each
simultaneously submit to the other in a sealed envelope its good faith estimate of the Prevailing Market
Rent. If the higher of such estimates is not more than one hundred five percent (I 05%) of the lower of
such estimates, then the Prevailing Market Rent shall be the average of the two estimates; provided,
however, in no event shall the Prevailing Market Rent be less than (x) with respect to the first Option
Period, the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord at the expiration of the [nitial Term and/or (y) with
respect to the second Option Period, the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord at the expiration of the first
Option Period and/or (z) with respect to the third Option Period, the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord
at the expiration of the second Option Period.
(b) If the matter is not resolved by the exchange of estimates as provided in
subparagraph (a) above, then either Landlord or Tenant may, by written notice to the other on or before
five (5) days after the exchange of such estimates, require that the disagreement be resolved by
arbitration. Within seven (7) days after such notice, the parties s hall select as an arbitrator a mutually
acceptable MAl appraiser with experience in real estate activities, including at least ten (10) years'
experience in appraising office space in the County of Santa Clara, California. ff the partie s cannot agree
on an appraiser, then, within a second period of seven (7) days, each party shall select an independent
MAI appraiser meeting the aforementioned criteria and, within a third pe riod of seven (7) d ays, the two
appointed appraisers shall select a third appraiser meeting the aforementioned criteria and the third
appraiser shall determine the Prevailing Market Rent pursuant to subparagraph (c) below. If one party
shall fail to make s uch appointment within said second seven (7) day period, then the appraiser chosen by
the other party shall be the so le arbitrator.
(c) Once the arbitrator has been selected as provided for in subparagraph (b) above,
then, as soon as practicable but in any case within fourteen (14) day s thereafter, the arbitrator shall select
one of the two estimates of the Prevailing Market Rent submitted by Landlord and Tenant, which estimate
shall be the one that is closer to the Prevailing Market Rent as determined by the arbitrator; provided,
however, in no event shall the Prevailing Market Rent be less than the Base Rent payable by Tenant to
Landlord at the expiration of the Initial Term. The arbitrator's selection shall be rendered in writing to
both Landlord and Tenant and shall be final and binding upon them and shall not be subject to appeal. ff
the arbitrator believes that expert advice would materially assist such arbitrator, then the arbitrator may
retain one or more qualified persons, including, but not limited to, legal counsel , brokers, architects or
engineers, to provide such expert advice. The party whose estimate is not chosen by the arbitrator shall
pay the costs of the arbitrator and of any experts retained by the arbitrator; provided, however, that any
fees of any counsel or expert engaged directly by Landlord or Tenant shall be borne by the party retaining
such counsel or expert.

Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property
4820-3468-4 725v5
SSCORDELIS\04706083 -15-
owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject
premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or
tenant. 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 necessary
to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises." Notwithstanding
the foregoing and/or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree
and acknowledge that, in the event Tenant desires to obtain a CASp inspection, then:
(x) Tenant shall provide Landlord with no le ss than twenty (20) business days' pri or
written notice and, upon receipt of such notice, Landlord shall have the right to, among other things, (i)
select the date and time at which such inspection shall occur, and (ii) have one (1) or more representatives

maintained) the CASp Report and its findings (and any and all other materials related thereto)
confidential and (iii) pay for the CASp in s pection and CASp Report at Tenant's sole cost and expense. If
Tenant receives a disability access inspection certificate, as described in subdivision (e) of California
Civil Code Section 55.53, in connection with or following any CASp ins pection und ertaken on behalf, or
for the benefit, of Tenant, then Tenant shall cause such certificate to b e provided immediately to
Landlord.
(z) If the CASp Report identifies any v iolation(s) of applicable construction-related
accessibility standards ("CASp Violation(s)"), Tenant s hall immediately provide written not ice to
Landlord of any and all s uch CASp Violation(s). In s uch event, Tenant shall , at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, perform, or cause to be performed , any repairs, modifications and/or other work necessary to
correct s uch CASp Violation(s) (any such repairs, modifications and/or other work being collectively
referred to here in as the "CASp Work"). Tenant shall commence (or cause the commencement of) such
CAS p Work no later than fifteen ( 15) bus iness days after Landlord 's receipt of the CASp R eport in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall diligently prosecute (or cause to be
diligently prosecuted) to completion all such CASp Work in a lien free, good and workmanlike manner,
and, upon completion, o btain an updated CASp Report s howing that the Premises then comply w ith all
applicable construction-related accessibility standards. Any and all cost and expense associated with the
CASp Work and/or the updated CASp Report (which Tenant shall provide to Land lord immediately upon
Tenant's receipt thereof) shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i)
Tenant assumes all risk of, and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for, any and all loss, cost, damage,
expense and liability (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) sustained
