3.Lessee’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for the Premises.  In addition to the Monthly Base Rent payable by Lessee pursuant to Section 3 above, during the Extended Term, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as Additional Rent, (a) Lessee’s pro rata share of the Operating Expenses and Taxes (i) for 1330 O’Brien Drive (Building #5), which pro rata share is 100%; (ii) for 1360 O’Brien Drive (Building #6), which pro rata share shall be 28.68%; and (b) Lessee’s pro rata share of the Park Expenses, which pro rata share shall be (i) 3.56%.

The entire sum shall be held as the Security Deposit pursuant to Paragraph 7 of the Lease, through the date Lessee has satisfied all of its obligations under the Lease.

5.Option to Extend.  Lessee shall have one (1) option to extend the Extended Term  with respect to the Premises  for a period of three (3) years immediately following the Extended Term Expiration Date pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3 of the Lease.

6.Tenant Improvement Allowance. Lessee shall be entitled to a one-time tenant improvement allowance in the amount of Two Hundred Thirty-Four Thousand Six Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($234,600.00) for costs related to the design and construction of tenant improvements in the Premises (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”) and Lessee shall specify the building address associated with use of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. The Tenant Improvement Allowance must be disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Section 11 no later than the last day of the eighteenth (18th) month following the Extended Term Commencement Date.  The construction of all tenant improvements desired by Lessee and constructed with the use of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (“New Tenant Improvements”) shall be performed in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.  Lessor shall work with Lessor’s architect and Lessee to develop plans and specifications (“Preliminary Plans”) for the New Tenant Improvements.  Within ten (10) days of Lessee’s receipt of the Preliminary Plans for any New Tenant Improvements, Lessee shall provide Lessor with either its consent to the same or reasonably detailed objections thereto.  If Lessee provides such objections, Lessor shall revise and re-submit the Preliminary Plans for the New Tenant Improvements and thereafter Lessee shall have five (5) days to consent or provide reasonably detailed objections to the same, and the process shall repeat until Lessee has consented to the Preliminary Plans for the New Tenant Improvements (“Final Plans”).  If Lessee shall fail to respond within such five (5) day period, Lessor may send a second written request for approval.  Lessee’s failure to respond within five (5) days of such second written request shall be deemed its approval of such Preliminary Plans.  Lessor, at Lessee’s sole expense (subject to the Tenant Improvement Allowance), shall cause to be constructed New Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Final Plans.  Lessee shall be liable for all fees and costs of the design and construction of any tenant improvements in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (such difference referred to herein as the “Tenant Improvement Shortfall”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that Lessor’s disbursements of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be made pari passu with Lessee’s contribution of its own funds towards the costs of constructing the tenant improvements as such costs become due (i.e. in proportion of Tenant Improvement Shortfall payable by Lessee to the Tenant Improvement Allowance).  Lessor shall disburse the Tenant Improvement Allowance directly to the applicable design professional, contractor, materialman or other laborer (“Contractor”) in connection with the construction of such tenant improvements upon receipt of paid invoices for work completed, conditional/unconditional lien releases, and other documentation reasonably required by Lessor.  For the avoidance of doubt, Lessee may submit to Lessor reimbursement requests from the Tenant Improvement Allowance for work completed prior to the date of this Amendment, provided that (i) such work was completed by a Contractor approved by Lessor, and (ii) Lessee delivers to Lessor receipt of paid invoices for work completed, conditional/unconditional lien releases, and other documentation reasonably required by Lessor.  Lessee shall not be entitled to receive any cash payment or credit against Rent or otherwise for any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance which is not used to pay for the construction of the tenant improvements contemplated hereunder.

7.Termination Right.  If Lessee (or a Permitted Assignee of Lessee) and Lessor (or Menlo Park Portfolio II, LLC, hereinafter referred to as “MPP) fully execute and deliver a lease (or leases) for space consisting of no less than a total amount of ninety thousand (90,000) rentable square feet of space in a building or buildings identified on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the "Expansion Lease"), upon further terms mutually acceptable to each party in each party's sole and absolute discretion, then Lessee has a one-time right to elect to terminate the Lease by delivering written notice to Lessor (the "Termination Notice") concurrently with or prior to Lessee's delivery of the executed Expansion Lease to Lessor (or MPP, but Lessee’s notice shall be conditioned upon Lessor’s or MPP’s execution and delivery of the Expansion Lease to Lessee), which termination shall be effective as of the commencement date of the Expansion Lease (the "Termination Date"), and shall be without the payment of any termination penalty or fee by Lessee.  Provided that Lessee timely elects to terminate the Lease in accordance with this Section 7, the Lease shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, and Lessor and Lessee shall be relieved of their respective obligations under the Lease, as of the Termination Date, except with respect to those obligations set forth in the Lease that specifically survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, including, without limitation, Lessee’s obligation to pay Rent and all amounts owed by Lessee under the Lease, and to perform all other lease obligations for the period up to the Termination Date.  Lessee’s right to terminate shall be conditioned upon Lessee not being in default, after expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, under the Lease on the date Lessee provides the Termination Notice or the Termination Date.  If Lessee does not exercise its termination right concurrently with or prior to Lessee’s delivery of the executed Expansion Lease to Lessor (or MPP), then Lessee’s termination right shall expire automatically and shall have no further force or effect without necessity of notice or other action by Lessor.  Lessee acknowledges and agrees that this provision does not provide Lessee with any right or preferential right to lease space in any building identified on Schedule 1, including without limitation, any rights of first refusal, rights of first offer or other rights to lease such space.  Additionally, Lessor does not guarantee any availability of space in any building identified on Schedule 1 and Lessor retains the right to renovate, demolish or otherwise modify any existing buildings identified on Schedule 1 prior to execution of the Expansion Lease.

8.Public Company Provisions.  Lessee has advised Lessor that Lessee is a public company whose shares are listed and traded on the NASDAQ exchange.  Accordingly, for so long as Lessee’s shares remain listed and traded on a nationally recognized public stock exchange in the United States of America, (i) notwithstanding anything in Section 17(g) of the Lease to the contrary, no sale, transfer or exchange of Lessee’s shares through a nationally recognized public stock exchange in the United States of America shall be subject to the provisions of Section 17 of the Lease, including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Section 17(f) of the Lease, and (ii) notwithstanding anything in Section 37(l) of the Lease to the contrary, Lessor acknowledges that Lessee may be obligated to regularly provide financial information concerning Lessee and/or its affiliates to the shareholders of Lessee and/or its affiliates, to the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory agencies, and to auditors and underwriters, which information may include summaries of financial information concerning leases, rents, costs, and results of operations of its business, including any financial obligations set forth in the Lease and copies of material contracts, such as the Lease and this Amendment.  Lessee shall only provide such information to the extent Lessee is required to do so by the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission.

9.Civil Code Section 1938 Disclosure.  For purposes of Section 1938(a) of the California Civil Code, Lessor hereby discloses to Lessee, and Lessee hereby acknowledges, that neither the Building nor the Premises has undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (“CASp”) (defined by California Civil Code Section 55.52).  Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938, Lessee is hereby notified that a CASp can inspect the Premises and determine whether the Premises complies with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law.  Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the Premises, Lessor may not prohibit Lessee from obtaining a CASp inspection of the Premises for the occupancy of the Lessee, if requested by Lessee.  Lessor and Lessee shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of any 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.  If Lessee requests to perform a CASp inspection of the Premises, Lessee shall, at its cost, retain a CASp approved by Lessor (provided that Lessor may designate the CASp, at Lessor’s option) to perform the inspection of the Premises at a time agreed upon by the parties.  Lessee shall provide Lessor with a copy of any report or certificate issued by the CASp (the "CASp Report").  Lessor and Lessee agree that any modifications necessary to correct violations of construction related accessibility standards identified in the CASp Report shall be the responsibility of the party requesting same.  Lessee agrees to keep the information in the CASp Report confidential except as necessary for the Lessee to complete such modifications.

10.Brokers.  Lessee’s broker is Cornish & Carey Commercial d/b/a Newmark Knight Frank (“Lessee’s Broker”) and Lessor’s brokers are Kidder Mathews and Cornish & Carey Commercial d/b/a Newmark Knight Frank (“Lessors’ Broker” and collectively with Lessee’s Broker, the “Brokers”).  Lessor shall pay a leasing commission to the Brokers pursuant to a separate agreement.  Each party represents and warrants to the other party that it has not had any dealings with any real estate broker, finder, or other person with respect to this Lease other than Brokers and each party shall hold harmless the other party from all damages, expenses, and liabilities resulting from any claims that may be asserted against the other party by any broker, finder, or other person with whom the other party has or purportedly has dealt, other than the above named brokers.

11.Right of First Offer. The Right of First Offer in Section 36 of the Lease is hereby deleted and removed from the Lease in its entirety without any further force or effect.

12.Continuing Effect; Conflicts.  All of the terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, as the Lease is amended by this Amendment.  If any provision of this Amendment conflicts with the Lease, the provisions of this Amendment shall control.

13.Notices.  All notices required under this Agreement and other information concerning this Agreement (“Communications”) shall be personally delivered or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, by overnight courier.  In addition, the Lessor may, in its sole discretion,  send such Communications to the Lessee electronically, or permit the Lessee to send such Communications to the Lessor electronically, in the manner described in this Section.  Such Communications sent by personal delivery, mail or overnight courier will be sent to the addresses listed below, or to such other addresses as the Lessor and the Lessee may specify from time to time in writing.  Communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, upon the earlier of receipt or five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, postage prepaid, or (ii) if hand-delivered, by courier or otherwise (including telegram, lettergram or mailgram), when delivered.
