AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
1. EXPANSION OF THE EXISTING PREMISES. Effective as of the Extension Date and continuing through to and including the Expiration Date (as those terms are defined below), Landlord shall lease to Tenant and Tenant shall lease from Landlord the Expansion Premises
on all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended hereby. From and after the Extension Date, all references to the Premises in the Lease and this Amendment shall be deemed references to the Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises, collectively, and shall measure 33,890 rentable square feet.
2. TERM. The Lease with respect to the Premises, as amended by Section 1 above, is hereby amended to extend for a term of eighty (86) months (the Extended Term), commencing on the earlier of (i) the date Tenant commences business operations in the Expansion Premises, or (ii) the date the Landlord Work is Substantially Complete (as such terms are defined in Exhibit B attached hereto), subject to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy from the relevant governmental authority, if required, which date is anticipated to be December 1, 2010 (the Extension Date), and expiring on the last day of the eighty-sixth (86th) month following the Extension Date (the Expiration Date). From and after the date hereof, all references to Term in the Lease or this Amendment shall be deemed references to the Term, as extended by this Amendment, and all references to the date of expiration of the Lease shall be deemed references to the Expiration Date. It is understood and agreed that if for any reason the Extension Date occurs pursuant to the terms of this Amendment on a day other than the first (1st) day of a calendar month, the period commencing on the Extension Date and ending on the last day of the calendar month in which the Extension Date occurs shall be an initial stub period which shall be added to the Extended Term and Tenant shall pay all Rent and other charges with respect to such stub period (on a prorated basis as referenced in Section 3.1 (Base Rent) of the Lease) at the same rate applicable to the first (1st) full calendar month of the Extended Term. Following such stub period and commencing as of the first (1st) day of the first (1st) full calendar month following the month in which the Extension Date occurs, Tenant shall commence the payment of Rent and other charges payable hereunder as if the Extended Term had actually commenced on such date. The use of the stub period described above is intended to provide for ease of administration and calculation of all amounts owed hereunder, it being agreed that all rental adjustments will be determined as of the first (1st) day of a calendar month and the Extended Term will end as of the last day of a calendar month (unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms hereof). Within 30 days after the Extension Date, Tenant shall return an executed Confirmation of Extension Date in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Confirmation of Extension Date shall be binding upon Tenant unless Tenant objects thereto in writing within such 30 day period. It is acknowledged and agreed that the existing Term of the Lease is currently scheduled to expire January 31, 2015, and the Extended Term described herein shall supersede and replace the currently remaining Term of the Lease pursuant to this Amendment. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall have one (1) option to extend the Term for an additional period of five (5) years, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Rider No. 1, Rider No. 2 and Rider No. 3 attached hereto.
3. CONDITION OF THE EXISTING PREMISES; CONDITION AND USE OF THE EXPANSION PREMISES.

b. Condition and Use of the Expansion Premises.

The taking of possession of the Expansion Premises by Tenant following completion of the Landlord Work shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the same AS IS and that the Expansion Premises is in good and satisfactory condition at the time such possession was taken.

*Base Rent due for the Expansion Premises for the first (1st) three (3) full months of the Extended Term shall be abated, as set forth in Section 4.c below.
**Numbered months referenced are to months of the Extended Term. For purposes of clarification, Landlord and Tenant have agreed that the Monthly Base Rent for the Premises (including the Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises) shall be adjusted to a fixed rate of $2.26 per rentable square foot effective as of December 1, 2015, and the rental charts above reflect this fixed adjustment date.
c. Rent Abatement for the Expansion Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and provided that Tenant faithfully performs all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended, and no default by Tenant occurs under the Lease and continues to exist beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord hereby agrees that during the first (1st) three (3) full months of the Extended Term (the Abatement Period), Tenant shall not be required to pay the monthly installments of Base Rent and Tenants Share of Operating Costs and Taxes due for the Expansion Premises only. During the Abatement Period, Tenant shall still be responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under the Lease, as amended, including, but not limited to, payment of Base Rent and Tenants Share of Operating Costs and Taxes due for the Existing Premises. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of the Lease that results in termination of the Lease in accordance with the provisions of Article 15 (Defaults and Remedies) of the Lease, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Article 15 of the Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the recovery of the Base Rent that was abated under the provisions of this Section 3.
5. OPERATING COSTS AND TAXES.
a. Tenants Share. Effective as of the Extension Date, Tenants Share of Operating Costs and Taxes shall be 12.73% (33,890 rentable square feet within the Premises/266,287 rentable square feet within the Project). Landlord and Tenant stipulate and agree that the rentable square footage of the Building and the Premises are correct.
b. Base Year. Effective as of the Extension Date, Tenants Share of Operating Costs and Taxes shall be calculated using calendar year 2011 as the Base Year. Accordingly, in addition to all other costs and expenses payable pursuant to the Lease, as amended, including, without limitation, Base Rent set forth in Section 4 of this Amendment, Tenant shall pay Tenants Share of Operating Costs and Taxes in excess of the Operating Costs and Taxes for the calendar year 2011.
c. Building Occupancy. Effective as of the date hereof, Section 3.2.(a).(3) (Operating Costs) of the Lease is hereby revised as set forth in this Section 5.c. If at any time during a calendar year the Building is not 100% occupied or Landlord is not supplying services to 100% of the total rentable square footage of the Building, Expenses shall be determined as if the Building had been 95% occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to 95% of the rentable square footage of the Building.
d. Cap on Controllable Operating Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 3 (Rent) of the Lease, effective as of the Extension Date, the aggregate Controllable Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined) included in Operating Costs in any calendar year after the Base Year shall not increase by more than five percent (5%) on an annual, cumulative and compounded basis, over the actual aggregate Controllable Operating Costs included in Operating Costs for any preceding calendar year (including the Base Year), but with no such limit on the amount of Controllable Operating Costs which may be included in the Operating Costs incurred during the Base Year. For purposes of this Section 4.c, Controllable Operating Costs shall mean all Operating Costs except: (i) insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Property and/or the operation thereof; (ii) costs of capital expenditures which constitute Operating Costs under Section 3.2.(a).(3) of the Lease; and (iii) wages, salaries and other compensation and benefits paid to Landlords employees, agents or contractors engaged in the operation, management, maintenance (including, but not limited to, janitorial and cleaning services) or security of the Building or Property, to the extent such wages, salaries and other compensation are incurred as a result of union labor or government mandated requirements including, but not limited to, prevailing wage laws and similar requirements. The provisions of this Section 5.d do not apply to Taxes and utility services.
6. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Landlord is currently holding a Security Deposit in the amount of $92,776.40 under the Lease for the Existing Premises. Pursuant to the terms of Section 6 of the Sixth Amendment, Tenant is entitled to a reduction of the Security Deposit effective as of October 31, 2010, in an amount equal to $48,690.36 (the Original Reduction Amount). Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to amend Section 6 of the Sixth Amendment to the reflect that effective as of the date of execution and delivery of this Amendment, a portion of the Original Reduction Amount, equal to $20,769.60 (110% of the last monthly installment of Base Rent payable for the Expansion Premises, herein the Expansion Security Amount), shall be deemed applied to the Security Deposit held by Landlord under the Lease, thereby reducing the Original Reduction Amount. Accordingly, Landlord hereby agrees that, effective as of the Extension Date (and provided that no breach or default by Tenant has occurred under the Lease after the date of this Amendment and prior to the Extension Date, and remains uncured following the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period), Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction of the Security Deposit in the amount $27,920.76 (the New Reduction Amount), which amount shall be applied to Base Rent next coming due under the Lease. From and after the application of the New Reduction Amount to Base Rent next coming due under the Lease as set forth herein, the Security Deposit amount held by Landlord hereunder shall be $64,855.64. Thereafter, provided that no breach or default by Tenant occurs under the Lease after the date of this Amendment and prior to December 1, 2011 (and remains uncured following the expiration of any applicable cure period), Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction of the Security Deposit effective as of December 1, 2011, in an amount equal to the Expansion Security Amount, which amount shall be applied to Base Rent next coming due under the Lease, as amended. It is understood and agreed that, if the Expansion Security Amount is applied as set forth above, the Security Deposit shall total $44,086.04, and there shall be no further reduction in the amount of the Security Deposit for the remainder of the Term, and the Security Deposit, as reduced hereby, shall continue to be held pursuant to the terms Article VI of the Lease, through the date Tenant has satisfied all of its obligations under the Lease. It is further understood and agreed that the terms set forth in the last sentence of Section 6 of the Sixth Amendment requiring Tenant to restore the Security Deposit in the event of a default by Tenant shall continue in full force and effect.
7. PARKING. From and after the Extension Date, Tenant shall be entitled to use a total of one hundred thirty-six (136) parking passes subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 36 and Exhibit D of the Original Lease, and the terms of this Section 7. Of those 136 parking passes, Tenant shall have the right to maintain (a) up to twenty-four (24) reserved parking passes at the monthly rate of $100.00 per reserved parking pass per month throughout the Extended Term and (b) up to twenty-three (23) reserved parking passes at no cost to Tenant during the Extended Term, subject, however, to the payment of Operating Costs attributable to the parking areas. All charges paid by Tenant for reserved parking passes shall constitute Additional Rent under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that Tenants existing twenty-four (24) reserved parking passes shall remain in the same location, as more particularly shown on Exhibit D (Parking Diagram) attached hereto.
8. FIRST RIGHT TO LEASE. During the period from the Extension Date until the last day of the fiftieth (50th) full month of the Extended Term, Tenant shall have the First Right to lease Suite 250 of the 3020 Building, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Rider No. 4 attached hereto.

Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the current lender holding a lien on the Property as of the date hereof a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (SNDA) in favor of Tenant with respect to the Lease, in the current lenders standard form. If Tenant requests any material changes to the current lenders form of SNDA, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any actual fees charged to Landlord in obtaining such SNDA for Tenant (including any actual processing fees or actual costs charged by the current lender).
10. ADDITIONAL LEASE MODIFICATION. Effective as of the date hereof, Section 1.01 (Suite B250 Right of First Offer) of the Fifth Amendment is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall be of no further force or effect. It is further understood and agreed that the terms of Article 11 of the Lease relating to the obligations of Tenant to carry insurance shall be revised as follows: (i) Section 11(b) shall require full replacement cost coverage to be carried by Tenant; (ii) Section 11(c) shall be revised to reflect that the required financial size category rating of Tenants insurers shall be X in the latest edition of the A.M.

If a variation or discrepancy among counterparts occurs, the copy of this Amendment in Landlords possession shall control. Tenant confirms that no default exists under the Lease.
17. EXECUTION BY BOTH PARTIES. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option to lease, and it is not effective as an amendment to lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.

WORK LETTER
This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Seventh Amendment to Lease by and between BIXBYBIT - BIXBY OFFICE PARK, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Landlord) and CLEAN ENERGY, a California corporation (Tenant) for space in the buildings located at 3010 & 3020 Old Ranch Parkway, Seal Beach, California 90740.
1. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense (subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 1 and Section 2 below) shall perform improvements to the Expansion Premises in accordance with the space plan attached hereto as Schedule 1 (the Space Plan), using mutually agreed to methods, materials and finishes, provided, however, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be obligated to pay more than $118,095.00 (calculated at a rate of $15.00 per rentable square foot of the Expansion Premises) (the Allowance) to complete the Landlord Work (as defined below), and Tenant shall pay to Landlord (within fifteen (15) business days after invoice therefor, which invoice shall include reasonable detail and supporting documentation) the amount of any actual and reasonable costs incurred by Landlord to complete the Landlord Work in excess of $118,095.00. The improvements to be performed in accordance with the Space Plan are hereinafter referred to as the Landlord Work. Landlord shall enter into a direct contract for the Landlord Work with a licensed general contractor selected by Landlord, which shall be DBAC. The contract shall provide a construction schedule for the Landlord Work with a goal of completing the Landlord Work by no later than November 30, 2010. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to select and/or approve of any subcontractors used in connection with the Landlord Work. Landlord Work shall include any and all architectural fees, engineering fees, and required permits. Tenant shall pay a construction management fee to Landlord in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the actual cost of construction of the Landlord Work.
2. All other work and upgrades (including, without limitation, any change orders with respect to the initial Space Plan), shall be subject to Landlords and Tenants mutual approval, and shall be at Tenants sole cost and expense, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, payable upon demand as Additional Rent and a construction management fee payable to Landlord equivalent to five percent (5%) of the cost of such work and upgrades. Tenant shall be responsible for any delay (subject to force majeure) in completion of the Expansion Premises resulting from any such other work and upgrades requested or performed by Tenant.
3. Landlords supervision or performance of any work for or on behalf of Tenant shall not be deemed to be a representation by Landlord that such work complies with applicable insurance requirements, building codes, ordinances, Laws or regulations or that the improvements constructed will be adequate for Tenants use.
4. Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate with each other in order to enable the Landlord Work to be performed in a timely manner and with as little inconvenience to the operation of Tenants business as is reasonably possible. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any delay in the completion of the Landlord Work or inconvenience suffered by Tenant during the performance of the Landlord Work shall not subject Landlord to any liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom or entitle Tenant to any credit, abatement or adjustment of Rent or other sums payable under the Lease.

5. For purposes of this Seventh Amendment, including for purposes of determining the Extension Date (pursuant to Section 2 of this Amendment), the Landlord Work shall be Substantially Complete upon (i) the completion of the Landlord Work in the Expansion Premises pursuant to the Space Plan, and a temporary certificate of occupancy or other required equivalent approval from the local governmental authority permitting occupancy of the Premises has been obtained, subject only to any minor adjustments or touch up work which may be necessary (which work Landlord agrees to complete as soon as possible).
6. This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the Expansion Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original Premises or any additions to the Expansion Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease.
7. Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant for its actual reasonable costs charged by Tenants architect for its representation of Tenant in the development of a space plan for the Expansion Premises, within thirty (30) days of Landlords receipt of a copy of the architects invoice from Tenant, which invoice shall detail such actual reasonable costs charged by Tenants architect, provided that such costs shall be limited to two (2) rounds of space plan drafts.
8. Unless otherwise agreed by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall be responsible for the prompt payment of the Allowance directly to the contractor, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Work Letter. However, if Landlord fails to fund the Allowance in accordance with the terms of this Work Letter, Tenant may deliver to Landlord written notice (Allowance Payment Notice) of such failure to fund, which Allowance Payment Notice shall include a detailed description of the amounts Tenant contends Landlord failed to fund pursuant to this Work Letter. If Landlord objects to any Allowance amount set forth in an Allowance Payment Notice, Landlord shall identify and provide the reasonable basis for such objection(s). If Landlord fails to fund a portion of the Allowance as specifically set forth in an Allowance Payment Notice within ten (10) business days after Landlords receipt of the Allowance Payment Notice from Tenant and if Landlord fails to deliver written notice to Tenant within such ten (10) day period explaining Landlords reasons that the Allowance amounts described in Tenants Allowance Payment Notice are not due and payable by Landlord (Refusal Notice), Tenant shall be entitled to fund the portion of the Allowance which is the subject of the Allowance Payment Notice (or, if Landlord timely sent a Refusal Notice, only those amounts to which Landlord did not object) itself and to offset such amount(s), against Tenants first obligations to pay Base Rent. If Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice, and if Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree on the Allowance amounts to be so paid by Landlord, if any, within twenty (20) business days after Tenants receipt of a Refusal Notice, Landlord or Tenant may elect to have such dispute resolved by expedited binding arbitration before a retired judge of the Superior Court of the State of California under the auspices of JAMS (or any successor to such organization, or if there is no such successor, then to a comparable organization mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant) in Los Angeles, California, according to the then rules of commercial arbitration of such organization. JAMS shall be instructed to complete the arbitration
within thirty (30) days. If such dispute is so submitted to arbitration, Tenant shall not be permitted any such offset against Base Rent unless and until the arbitration proceedings are concluded in Tenants favor. The foregoing shall apply only to a failure of Landlord to fund the Allowance and shall not be applicable to any other obligation of Landlord under the Lease as amended hereby. It is further understood and agreed that if Landlord has not funded a portion of the Allowance and delivers a Refusal Notice with respect to the requested disbursement amount, and such failure to fund results in the contractor actually ceasing or threatening to cease construction of the Landlord Work, then Landlord and Tenant work together to promptly agree upon a mutually acceptable arrangement with respect to the Allowance such that there is no delay in the completion (and no cessation) of the Landlord Work.
9. Landlord shall cause the contractor performing the Landlord Work to issue industry standard construction warranties with respect to the Landlord Work, with coverage for workmanship, materials and equipment, which warranties shall run to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant or shall be assignable to Tenant such that Tenant will be entitled to the benefit of any such warranties upon request.

RIDER NO. 1 TO SEVENTH AMENDMENT
EXTENSION OPTION RIDER
This Rider No. 1 is made and entered into by and between BIXBYBIT - BIXBY OFFICE PARK, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Landlord) and CLEAN ENERGY, a California corporation (Tenant), as of the day and year of the Seventh Amendment to Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the Lease shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.
1. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant (1) option (the Extension Option) to extend the Term of the Lease for an additional period of five (5) years (the Option Term), on the same terms, covenants and conditions as provided for in the Lease during the Extended Term, except for the Monthly Base Rent, which shall equal the greater of (a) the Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant during the last month of the then current Term immediately preceding the Option Term or (b) the fair market rental rate for the Premises for the Option Term as defined and determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 below.
2. The Extension Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice (Extension Notice) delivered by Tenant to Landlord no sooner than that date which is twelve (12) months and no later than that date which is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then current term of the Lease. The Extension Option shall not be deemed to be properly exercised if, at the time the Extension Option is exercised or on the scheduled commencement date for the Option Term, Tenant has (a) committed an uncured event of default whose cure period has expired pursuant to Article 15 of the Lease (following the delivery of any written notice required thereunder), (b) assigned all or any portion of the Lease or its interest therein without Landlords consent (if required) or otherwise in violation of Article 14 of the Lease, or (c) sublet all or any portion of the Premises, other than in strict accordance with the terms of Article 14 of the Lease. Upon Tenants written request in connection with Tenants delivery of an Extension Notice, Landlord will provide written confirmation to Tenant that Landlord is not aware of the existence of a condition referenced in (a) through (c) above which would render Tenants exercise of its Extension Option ineffective. Provided Tenant has properly and timely exercised the Extension Option, the then current term of the Lease shall be extended by the Option Term, and all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, except that the Monthly Base Rent shall be as set forth above. In connection with any exercise by Tenant of the Extension Option, Landlord shall determine whether and to what extent any additional Security Deposit may be required, after taking into account the then existing financial strength of Tenant and all other relevant and industry standard factors, consistent with market, provided, however, it is expressly understood that Landlord will not require any addition to Tenants Security Deposit in connection with Tenants exercise of its Extension Option so long as (i) no uncured breach or default by Tenant exists under the Lease as of the date of delivery of the Extension Notice or as of the date of the commencement of the Option Term, and (ii) there has occurred no material adverse change in the financial condition of Tenant as of the date of delivery of the Extension Notice or as of the date of commencement of the Option Term.
RIDER NO. 1
3. If Landlord determines that the Monthly Base Rent for the Option Term shall be the Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant during the last month of the then current Term pursuant to Section 1(a) above, such determination shall be conclusive, Tenant shall have no right to object thereto, and the following provisions regarding the determination of the fair market rental rate shall not apply. If, however, Landlord determines that the Monthly Base Rent for the applicable Option Term shall be the fair market rental rate pursuant to Section 1(b) above, then such fair market rate shall be determined in accordance with the Fair Market Rental Rate Rider attached to the Seventh Amendment to Lease as Rider No. 2.
4. Notwithstanding the fair market rental rate determined pursuant to Section 3 above, in no event shall the Monthly Base Rent payable during the Option Term be less than the Monthly Base Rent payable during the last month of the immediately preceding Term.
5. If Tenant wishes to determine prior to exercise of the Extension Option whether Landlord intends to require that Tenant pay the existing Monthly Base Rent for the Option Term, Tenant may deliver to Landlord no less than eleven (11) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term of the Lease a written inquiry to such effect, and Landlord agrees to respond to such written inquiry within thirty (30) days following receipt thereof.
RIDER NO. 2 TO SEVENTH AMENDMENT
FAIR MARKET RENTAL RATE
This Rider No. 2 is made and entered into by and between BIXBYBIT - BIXBY OFFICE PARK, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Landlord) and CLEAN ENERGY, a California corporation (Tenant), as of the day and year of the Seventh Amendment to Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the Lease shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.
1. The term fair market rental rate as used in the Lease and any Rider attached thereto shall mean the annual amount per square foot, projected during the Option Term that a willing, non-equity renewal tenant (excluding sublease and assignment transactions) would pay, and a willing, institutional landlord of a comparable Class A office building located in the West Orange County market area (the Comparison Area) would accept, in an arms length transaction (what Landlord is accepting in then current transactions for the buildings located in the Project may be used for purposes of projecting rent for the Option Term), for space of comparable size, quality and floor height as the Premises, taking into account the age, quality and layout of the existing improvements in the Premises, and taking into account items that professional real estate brokers or professional real estate appraisers customarily consider, including, but not limited to, rental rates, space availability, tenant size, tenant improvement allowances, parking charges and any other lease considerations, if any, then being charged or granted by Landlord or the lessors of such similar office buildings. All economic terms other than Monthly Base Rent, such as tenant improvement allowance amounts, if any, operating expense allowances, parking charges, etc., will be established by Landlord and will be factored into the determination of the fair market rental rate for the Option Term. Accordingly, the fair market rental rate will be an effective rate, not specifically including, but accounting for, the appropriate economic considerations described above. The fair market rental rate shall include the periodic rental increases that would be included for space leased for the period of the Option Term.
2. In the event the determination of fair market rental rate is required under the Lease (as set forth in Rider No. 1 above), Landlord shall provide written notice of Landlords determination of the fair market rental rate not later than ninety (90) days following Landlords receipt of Tenants Extension Notice. Tenant shall have ten (10) business days (Tenants Review Period) after receipt of Landlords notice of the fair market rental rate within which to accept such fair market rental rate or to reasonably object thereto in writing. Failure of Tenant to so object to the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord in writing within Tenants Review Period shall conclusively be deemed Tenants disapproval thereof. If within Tenants Review Period Tenant objects to or is deemed to have disapproved the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant will meet together with their respective legal counsel to present and discuss their individual determinations of the fair market rental rate for the Premises under the parameters set forth in Section 1 above and shall diligently and in good faith attempt to negotiate a rental rate on the basis of such individual determinations. Such meeting shall occur no later than ten (10) days after the expiration of Tenants Review Period. The parties shall each provide the other with such supporting information and documentation as they deem
RIDER NO. 2
appropriate. At such meeting if Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the fair market rental rate, they shall each submit to the other their respective best and final offer as to the fair market rental rate. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on such fair market rental rate within five (5) business days following such a meeting (the Outside Agreement Date), Tenants Extension Option will be deemed null and void unless Tenant demands arbitration, in which event each partys determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 below and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to nullify the exercise of the applicable Option.
3. (a) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one (1) competent, independent and impartial commercial real estate broker with at least ten (10) years full time commercial real estate brokerage experience in the Comparison Area (each a broker). The determination of the brokers shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlords or Tenants last proposed (as of the Outside Agreement Date) best and final fair market rental rate for the Premises is the closest to the actual fair market rental rate for the Premises as determined by the brokers, taking into account the requirements specified in Section 1 above. Each such broker shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date.
(b) The two (2) brokers so appointed shall within fifteen (15) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed broker agree upon and appoint a third broker who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) brokers.
(c) The three (3) brokers shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third broker reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlords or Tenants submitted best and final fair market rental rate, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. During such thirty (30) day period, Landlord and Tenant may submit to the brokers such information and documentation to support their respective positions as they shall deem reasonably relevant and Landlord and Tenant may each appear before the brokers jointly to question and respond to questions from the brokers.
(d) The decision of the majority of the three (3) brokers shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to nullify the exercise of the applicable Option. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an broker within the time period specified in Section 3(a) hereinabove, the broker appointed by one of them shall within thirty (30) days following the date on which the party failing to appoint an broker could have last appointed such broker reach a decision based upon the same procedures as set forth above (i.e., by selecting either Landlords or Tenants submitted best and final fair market rental rate), and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such brokers decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to nullify the exercise of the applicable Option.
(e) If the two (2) brokers fail to agree upon and timely appoint a third broker, either party, upon ten (10) days written notice to the other party, can apply to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of Orange County to appoint a third broker meeting the qualifications set forth herein. The third broker, however, selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either party.
(f) The cost of each partys broker shall be the responsibility of the party selecting such broker, and the cost of the third broker (or arbitration, if necessary) shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant.
(g) If the process described hereinabove has not resulted in a selection of either Landlords or Tenants submitted best and final fair market rental rate by the commencement of the applicable lease term, then the fair market rental rate estimated by Landlord will be used until the broker(s) reach a decision, with an appropriate rental credit and other adjustments for any overpayments of Monthly Base Rent or other amounts if the brokers select Tenants submitted best and final estimate of the fair market rental rate. The parties shall enter into an amendment to the Lease confirming the terms of the decision.
RIDER NO. 3 TO SEVENTH AMENDMENT
OPTIONS IN GENERAL
This Rider No. 3 is made and entered into by and between BIXBYBIT - BIXBY OFFICE PARK, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Landlord) and CLEAN ENERGY, a California corporation (Tenant), as of the day and year of the Seventh Amendment to Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the Lease shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.
(a) Definition. As used in this Rider, the word Option means:
· the Extension Option pursuant to Rider No. 1 attached hereto.
· the First Right pursuant to Rider No. 4 attached hereto.
(b) Option Personal. The Option granted to Tenant is personal to the original Tenant executing this Seventh Amendment to Lease (the Original Tenant) and any Affiliate of Tenant pursuant to Section 14 of the Seventh Amendment, and may be exercised only by the Original Tenant while occupying the entire Premises and without the intent of thereafter assigning the Lease or subletting the Premises and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by any person or entity other than the Original Tenant. The Option granted to Tenant under the Lease is not assignable separate and apart from the Lease, nor may the Option be separated from the Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise.
(c) Effect of Default on Options. Tenant will have no right to exercise any Option, notwithstanding any provision of the grant of option to the contrary, and Tenants exercise of any Option may be nullified by Landlord upon written notice to Tenant and deemed of no further force or effect, if (i) Tenant is in default of any monetary obligation or material non-monetary obligation under the terms of the Lease (following the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period) as of Tenants exercise of the Option in question or at any time after the exercise of any such Option and prior to the commencement of the Option event, or (ii) Landlord has given Tenant two (2) or more notices of default, whether or not such defaults are subsequently cured, during any twelve (12) consecutive month period of the Lease.
(d) Option as Economic Term. The Option is hereby deemed an economic term which Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, may or may not offer in conjunction with any future extensions of the Term.
RIDER NO. 3
RIDER NO. 4 TO SEVENTH AMENDMENT
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO EXPAND
This Rider No. 4 is made and entered into by and between BIXBYBIT - BIXBY OFFICE PARK, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Landlord) and CLEAN ENERGY, a California corporation (Tenant), as of the day and year of the Seventh Amendment to Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the Lease shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.
During the period from the Extension Date until the last day of the fiftieth (50th) full month of the Extended Term (subject to extension as set forth in the last paragraph hereof), Landlord hereby grants Tenant the ongoing right (First Right) to lease Suite 250 of the 3020 Building (the First Right Space), as more particularly shown on Schedule 1 attached hereto, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Rider No. 4. At any time after the Extension Date, but prior to leasing the First Right Space, or any portion thereof, to any other party during the period that this First Right is in effect, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the basic economic terms including but not limited to the Base Rent, term, security deposit, and tenant improvement allowance (collectively, the Economic Terms), upon which Landlord is willing to lease such particular First Right Space to Tenant or to a third party in response to a third party proposal or request for proposal; provided that the Economic Terms shall exclude brokerage commissions and other Landlord payments that do not directly inure to the tenants benefit. It is understood that should Landlord intend to lease other space in addition to the First Right Space as part of a single transaction, then Landlords notice shall so provide and all such space shall collectively be subject to the following provisions. Within five (5) business days after receipt of Landlords notice, and provided Tenant is not then in default (beyond any applicable cure period provided for in the Lease), Tenant must give Landlord written notice pursuant to which Tenant shall elect to (i) lease all, or any portion thereof agreeable to Landlord, of the space specified in Landlords notice (the Designated Space) upon such Economic Terms and the same non-Economic Terms as set forth in the Lease; (ii) refuse to lease the Designated Space, specifying that such refusal is not based upon the Economic Terms, but upon Tenants lack of need for the Designated Space, in which event Landlord may lease the Designated Space upon any terms it deems appropriate; or (iii) refuse to lease the Designated Space, specifying that such refusal is based upon said Economic Terms (or square footage), in which event Tenant shall also specify revised Economic Terms (or square footage) upon which Tenant shall be willing to lease the Designated Space. In the event that Tenant does not so respond in writing to Landlords notice within said period, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected clause (ii) above. In the event Tenant gives Landlord notice pursuant to clause (iii) above, Landlord may elect to either (x) lease the Designated Space to Tenant upon such revised Economic Terms (or square footage) and the same other non-Economic Terms as set forth in the Lease, or (y) lease the Designated Space to any third party upon Economic Terms which are not materially more favorable to such party than those Economic Terms proposed by Tenant or re-offer the space to Tenant if Economic Terms are materially more favorable. Should Landlord so elect to lease the Designated Space to Tenant, then Landlord shall promptly prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment to Lease consistent with the foregoing, and Tenant shall return same to Landlord (executed or with reasonable comments to discuss with Landlord) within ten (10) business days. Tenants failure to timely return the amendment shall entitle Landlord to specifically enforce Tenants commitment to lease the Designated Space, to lease such space to a third party, and/or to pursue any other available legal remedy.
RIDER NO. 4
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that Tenants First Right shall be subject to any extension or expansion rights previously granted by Landlord to any existing third party tenants as of the Lease execution date, and to any extension or expansion rights which may hereafter be granted by Landlord to any third party tenant occupying the First Right Space or any portion thereof who leases the First Right Space prior to Tenant executing this Seventh Amendment. Currently, an existing tenant on the second (2nd) floor of the Building has an ongoing right of first offer with respect to space contiguous to its premises, expiring on or about July 31, 2015.
It is further acknowledged that the reference above to a cutoff date of the last day of the 50th full month of the Extended Term is based on the assumption that Tenant will lease the Designated Space for a Term coterminous with the Extended Term of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby agrees to provide to Tenant throughout the Extended Term written notice of the proposed Economic Terms for a lease of any Designated Space, and Tenant shall have the First Right to lease such Designated Space on the Economic Terms proposed by Landlord in such notice, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Rider No. 4.
