WHEREAS, the Term is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2024, and Landlord and Tenant desire to extend the Term for an additional one hundred twenty-five (125) full calendar months from such expiration date and to amend the terms and conditions of the Lease as hereinafter provided.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.    Extension of Term. The Term is hereby extended for a period of one hundred twenty-five (125) full calendar months, commencing as of April 1, 2024 (the “Extended Term Commencement Date”) and expiring on August 31, 2034 (the “Extended Term Termination Date”) (which period is referred to herein as the “Extended Term”), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Lease, as amended hereby. As used herein, the term “Lease” shall be deemed to mean the Lease, as amended hereby, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. From and after the date hereof, the “Term” shall he deemed to include the Extended Term. Tenant’s lease of the Premises during the Extended Term shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Lease, except as expressly modified herein, and except that Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any allowances, abatements, or other financial concession granted in connection with entering into the Lease unless such concessions are expressly provided for herein with respect to the Extended Term.

2.    Rent.

(a)    Monthly Installment of Rent Schedule. Effective as of the Extended Term Commencement Date, the Monthly Installment of Rent for the Premises payable by Tenant to Landlord during the Extended Term is as follows:

*Provided that Tenant has faithfully performed all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, Landlord agrees to abate the obligation of Tenant to pay the Monthly Installment of Rent for the first five (5) months of the Extended Term (the “Conditional Rent”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, during such months, Tenant shall still be responsible for the payment of all other amounts payable under the Lease, including, without limitation, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Expenses and Taxes and additional rent due under the Lease. In the event of a Tenant default under the Lease at any time during the Extended Term, in addition to any other remedies to which Landlord may be entitled, Landlord shall be entitled to recover the Conditional Rent (i.e., the amount of the Conditional Rent shall not be deemed to have been abated, but shall become immediately due and payable as unpaid Annual Rent earned, but due at the time of such default). The right to the abatement set forth above shall be personal to the current Tenant, Natural Alternatives International, Inc. (“Named Tenant”) and shall not be transferable to any assignee, sub-tenant or other transferee of Named Tenant’s interest in the Lease unless the transferee acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Named Tenant or more than fifty percent (50%) of the equity interests of Named Tenant.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, all other terms and conditions with respect to the payment of Monthly Installment of Rent shall remain as set forth in the Lease.

(b)    Expenses and Taxes. For the period commencing on the Extended Term Commencement Date and ending on the Extended Term Termination Date, Tenant shall pay for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Expenses and Taxes in accordance with the terms of Article 4 of the Original Lease, as amended by this Amendment.

3.    Specific Modifications to the Lease. Effective as of the Extended Term Commencement Date, the Original Lease shall be modified as follows:

(a)    The first sentence of Section 7.1 of the Original Lease shall be amended and restated to read in full as follows:

“Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises, except as specified in Exhibit B attached to this Lease and except that Landlord, at its sole cost and expense and not subject to reimbursement as Expenses, shall repair and maintain the structural portions of the roof, foundation and walls of the Building, the concrete subflooring of the Building and the underground utilities serving the Building.”

(b)    The definition of “Landlord Entities” appearing in Article 30 of the Original Lease shall be amended and restated to mean and refer to Landlord, Landlord’s investment manager, the California Public Employees Retirement System, and the trustees, boards of directors, officers, general partners, beneficiaries, stockholders, employees and agents of each of them.

4.    Tenant’s Amendment Work; Allowance.

(a)    Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the actual, documented costs of performing certain Alterations in the Premises pursuant to plans and specifications approved by Landlord (“Tenant’s Amendment Work”) up to a maximum of $1,134,000.00 (i.e., $7.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) (the “Amendment Allowance”) on the terms and conditions of this Section 4 provided that (i) all conditions to the final disbursement of the Amendment Allowance (collectively, the “Final Disbursement Conditions”) have been satisfied on or before the date that is three hundred eighty (380) days following the later of the dates set forth Landlord and Tenant’s signature hereto (the “Sunset Date”), (ii) there is no uncured Event of Default and (iii) the Lease is in full force and effect. Tenant’s Amendment Work shall consist of the work described on Exhibit A to this Amendment that Tenant elects to perform, subject to Landlord’s approval of the plans and specifications therefor, and such additional Alterations as may be approved by Landlord in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Original Lease. Tenant’s Amendment Work shall be performed in accordance with, and shall be subject to, the terms and conditions of this Section 4 and Article 6 of the Original Lease. Tenant shall schedule all Tenant’s Amendment Work such that it may reasonably be completed within the timeframe required to satisfy all Final Disbursement Conditions on or before the Sunset Date. In the event that Tenant has complied with the immediately preceding sentence and is delayed from satisfying all Final Disbursement Conditions due to any delays caused by (x) Landlord or any of Landlord’s contractors, subcontractors, employees, agents or invitees, (y) strikes, lockouts, casualties, Acts of God, war, material or labor shortages, supply-chain issues, pandemics, public health emergencies, governmental orders, regulations or controls, or (z) any other causes beyond the reasonable control of Tenant, including, without limitation, delays in Tenant’s contractor’s performance of Tenant’s Amendment Work due to causes beyond Tenant’s reasonable control, the Sunset Date shall be extended for such period of time as Tenant is so delayed in satisfying all Final Disbursement Conditions. In the event Tenant anticipates that it will not be able to satisfy all Final Disbursement Conditions by the Sunset Date specified above due to any delay described in the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing of the cause of the delay and the anticipated length of delay within five (5) business days after Tenant first becomes aware of such delay. Tenant thereafter shall keep Landlord reasonably apprised of the status of such delay and promptly respond to all inquiries of Landlord regarding such delay. Landlord and Tenant shall mutually cooperate using good faith, commercially reasonable efforts, to coordinate performance of Tenant’s Amendment Work and Landlord’s Work (as defined below). Landlord shall have the right to approve Tenant’s project management team (“Tenant’s Management Team”), architect (“Architect”), contractor and subcontractors for Tenant’s Amendment Work. Tenant agrees on behalf of itself and its contractors and subcontractors to comply and cooperate with all directives and supervision of Landlord’s roofing contractor with respect to any Tenant’s Amendment Work affecting the roof of the 1211 Building and/or the 1215 Building, including, without limitation, the installation of the solar panels thereon (the “Solar Installation Work”), and shall undertake all actions necessary to preserve Landlord’s roof warranty(ies). Landlord shall have the right to require that Landlord’s roofing contractor, its employees or representatives and/or Landlord’s property manager be present at all times during the performance of the Solar Installation Work. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord regarding the scheduling of the Solar Installation Work such that the party(ies) Landlord reasonably designates may be present. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right to require any Tenant’s Amendment Work (not including the Solar Installation Work) affecting the roof of the 1211 Building and/or the 1215 Building to be performed by Landlord’s roofing contractor. Tenant shall not undertake any activities in connection with Tenant’s Amendment Work that would void Landlord’s roof or other warranties.

(b)    The Amendment Allowance shall be paid by Landlord directly to Tenant in three (3) equal progress payments equal to 30% of the applicable Amendment Allowance. The first progress payment shall be paid after it has been mutually agreed by Landlord and Tenant and Architect has certified in writing to Landlord that one-third of Tenant’s Amendment Work has been satisfactorily completed in accordance with plans and specifications therefor approved by Landlord; the second progress payment shall be paid after it has been mutually agreed and Architect has certified in writing to Landlord that two-thirds of Tenant’s Amendment Work has been satisfactorily completed in accordance with plans and specifications therefor approved by Landlord; and the third progress payment shall be paid after it has been mutually agreed and Architect has certified in writing to Landlord that 100% of Tenant’s Amendment Work has been satisfactorily completed in accordance with plans and specifications therefor approved by Landlord. Landlord shall pay each progress payment within thirty (30) days after receipt from Tenant of a written request for payment, together with copies of invoices or receipts for Tenant’s Amendment Work expenses equaling the amount of the requested progress payment, and all applicable unconditional waivers and releases upon progress payment for material and labor from Tenant’s contractor, subcontractors and suppliers.

(c)    The remaining 10% of the Amendment Allowance shall be paid within sixty (60) days following proper recordation of a Notice of Completion for Tenant’s Amendment Work, and upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i)     Tenant has completed Tenant’s Amendment Work in accordance with the Landlord approved final plans and specifications therefor;

(ii)    Tenant has submitted a complete set of “as built” plans and specifications for Tenant’s Amendment Work to Landlord;

(iii)   Tenant has provided Landlord with properly executed mechanics lien releases in compliance with California Civil Code Section 3262(d)(4) from Tenant's Contractor, subcontractors and suppliers performing work Tenant’s Amendment Work;

(iv)   Tenant has provided Landlord all construction warranties and guarantees obtained by Tenant in connection with the construction of Tenant’s Amendment Work, which warranties and guarantees shall provide that they may be enforceable by Landlord; and

(v)    Landlord has inspected and approved Tenant’s Amendment Work and is reasonably satisfied that Tenant’s Amendment Work has been performed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the approved plans and specifications therefor and in accordance with all applicable laws, using Building standard materials where applicable; provided, however, no such inspection shall impose any liability upon Landlord, nor absolve Tenant, Architect or Tenant’s contractor from liability for any defect or failure to comply with the requirements hereof.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse any portion of the Amendment Allowance during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Lease, and Landlord’s obligation to disburse shall only resume when and if such Event of Default is cured. The Amendment Allowance may only be used for hard and soft costs in connection with Tenant’s Amendment Work, and in no event shall any portion of the Amendment Allowance be used for the purchase of equipment, cabling, furniture or other items of personal property of Tenant other than the solar panels to be installed in connection with the Solar Installation Work.

(e)     If Tenant does not submit a request for payment of the final disbursement of the Amendment Allowance to Landlord in accordance with the provisions contained in this Section 4 by the Sunset Date, any undisbursed amount of the Amendment Allowance shall accrue to the sole benefit of Landlord; it being understood that Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, abatement or other concession in connection therewith. Tenant shall be responsible for all applicable state sales or use taxes, if any, payable in connection with Tenant’s Amendment Work and/or Amendment Allowance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 6 of the Original Lease, provided Tenant provides all necessary construction management services and complies with all of its obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, the completion of Tenant’s Amendment Work in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the approved plans and specifications therefor and in accordance with all applicable laws) such that Landlord is not required to provide any construction management services in connection with Tenant’s Amendment Work, Landlord shall not charge a construction management fee, but shall fund a management fee equal to 2% of Tenant’s Amendment Work costs (exclusive of such management fee) to Tenant’s Management Team from the Amendment Allowance. Landlord shall be entitled to deduct from the Amendment Allowance its actual third-party costs and fees incurred in supervising and inspecting Tenant’s Amendment Work and reviewing the plans and specifications therefor.

(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 26.2 of the Original Lease, but subject to Section 8 of Exhibit B of the Original Lease, Tenant shall not be obligated to remove any improvements constructed or installed in connection with Tenant’s Amendment Work; provided that the same are approved by Landlord and constructed or installed in a good and workerlike manner in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor approved by Landlord and all applicable laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may approve certain Alterations as part of Tenant’s Amendment Work that it would not otherwise approve provided that Tenant agrees to remove such Alterations and repair any resulting damage at the expiration or termination of the Lease. In any such event, Landlord shall notify Tenant that its approval of any such Alteration is contingent upon Tenant’s removal thereof and repair of any resulting damage and, if applicable in Landlord’s sole discretion, Tenant’s compliance with the last sentence of Section 6.3 of the Original Lease. Upon any such notification by Landlord, the provisions of this Section 4(f) shall not apply to the Alterations specified by Landlord and Tenant’s obligations regarding removal thereof and any related repairs to the Premises shall be subject to Section 6.3 and Section 26.2 of the Original Lease, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 4(f).

5.    Slab and Drywall Repair.

6.    Landlord’s Amendment Work. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall perform the work described on Exhibit B hereto (“Landlord’s Work”). Subject to any delays caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors, employees, agents or invitees and any delays caused by strikes, lockouts, casualties, Acts of God, war, material or labor shortages, supply-chain issues, pandemics, public health emergencies, governmental orders, regulations or controls, or any other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete Landlord’s Work no later than the Extended Term Commencement Date.

Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has accepted the Premises as of the date hereof, and will accept the Premises as of the Extended Term Commencement Date in AS-IS, WHERE-IS condition without any representation or warranty of any kind made by Landlord in favor of Tenant.
