EXHIBIT B

EXTENSION OPTION

Lessee shall have an option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the Lease Term, as to not less than the entire Premises and for a period (the “Option Period”) of sixty (60) months commencing upon the date that the Lease Term would otherwise expire (i.e., June 30, 2012), upon the same terms and conditions previously applicable, except for (i) the grant of the Extension Option (i.e., unless otherwise agreed, there shall be no further Extension Option), (ii) Landlord’s Work and Improvements Allowance provisions set forth in the Lease (which shall not be applicable), and (iii) Rent (which shall be determined as set forth below). The Extension Option may be validly exercised only by notice in writing received by Lessor not earlier than six (6) months (i.e., not earlier than January 1, 2012), and not later than three (3) months (i.e., not later than April 1, 2012), prior to commencement of the Option Period; provided, however, that the Extension Option may be validly exercised only if (a) Lessee is not then, or at any time thereafter until commencement of the Option Period, in default under the Lease, and (b) inasmuch as the Extension Option shall be personal to Lessee under the Lease and Lessee’s Affiliates, Lessee does not assign, sublease or otherwise transfer any interest in the Lease or in the Premises other than to a Lessee’s Affiliate, or enter into any agreement to do same, at any time prior to such attempted exercise or thereafter until commencement of the Option Period. If Lessee does not exercise the Extension Option during the exercise period set forth above in strict accordance with the provisions hereof, the Extension Option shall forever terminate and be of no further force of effect.

For purposes hereof, “Fair Market Rental” shall mean the base rent payable by a willing lessee and willing lessor, taking into account Additional Rent and all other relevant factors, for like and comparable space, improved with tenant improvements of like and comparable quality to those existing in the Premises and in the Building as of the commencement of the Option Period, like and comparable buildings located in the Salinas area, and for a term comparable to the Option Period. Upon receipt of Lessee’s notice of exercise of the Extension Option, Lessor shall notify Lessee of Fair Market Rental as determined in good faith by Lessor (“Lessor’s FMR”). For a period of thirty (30) days following Lessee’s receipt of Lessor’s notice stating Lessor’s FMR, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree to negotiate in good faith whether Lessor’s FMR is appropriate for the Premises for the Option Period, or whether some other rental is appropriate for the Premises for the Option Period. If, as of the end of that thirty (30) day period, Lessor and Lessee have been able to reach agreement on a rental amount for the Premises for the Option Period, then the Extension Option shall be deemed exercised. If, however, as of the end of the thirty (30) days, Lessor and Lessee have not been able to reach agreement on a rental amount for the Premises for the Option Period, the Extension Option shall be void, and the Lease shall terminate on the normal expiration date hereof (i.e., June 30, 2012). In no event shall the “Fair Market Rental” for the Option Period be less than the amount due for the last month of the Lease Term immediately prior to the Option Period (i.e., June, 2012).
