OPTION NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT Your option is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the Company or an Affiliate, their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors, Officers or Employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate.
Initial Lease Term The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease except for the provisions of this Lease relating to the payment of Rent. The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall be as set forth in Section 3.1 of the Summary, shall commence on the date (the “Lease Commencement Date”) that is the earlier to occur of (i) the date Tenant commences to conduct business in any portion of the Premises, and (ii) the of “Substantial Completion”, as that term is defined in this Article 2, of the Premises by Landlord, and shall terminate on the date determined in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Summary (the “Lease Expiration Date”) unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. For purposes of this Lease, “Substantial Completion” of the Premises shall occur upon the completion of construction, as reasonably determined by Landlord, of the “Tenant Improvements,” as that term is defined in the Tenant Work Letter, in the Premises pursuant to the plans and drawings which are prepared and approved pursuant to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or legal equivalent, with the exception of any Punchlist Items (as defined below) and any Tenant fixtures, work-stations, built-in furniture, or equipment to be installed by Tenant or under the supervision of Contractor (as defined in Section 3 of the Tenant Work Letter). “Punchlist Items” shall mean only commercially reasonable punchlist items, the non-completion of which does not prevent the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or legal equivalent or unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, and which punchlist items shall be corrected promptly by Landlord (within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of written notice thereof from Tenant) without unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use of or access to or from the Premises. It is anticipated that the Lease Commencement Date will occur within sixteen (16) weeks after mutual execution of this Lease (such date, the “Target Commencement Date”), but this Lease shall not be void, voidable or subject to termination, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage, resulting from Landlord’s inability to deliver the Premises to Tenant by any particular date, except as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if the Lease Commencement Date does not occur within 60 days after the Target Commencement Date, other than due to Tenant Delay (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter) or Force Majeure, then Tenant, at its option, may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord given at any time after the expiration of such 60-day period but before the Lease Commencement Date actually occurs. In the event of such termination by Tenant, the first month’s Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses paid by Tenant and the Security Deposit shall be fully refunded to Tenant (subject to Landlord’s right to draw upon such Security Deposit as provided in Article 21 below) and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit “C”, attached hereto, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall (absent manifest error) execute and return to Landlord within five (5) business days of receipt thereof.
Extended Terms Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term for up to five (5) consecutive renewal terms of ten (10) years each (each, an “Extended Term”), provided that (unless Landlord shall elect in its sole discretion to waive any such condition), at the time Tenant exercises a right to extend the Term, (a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (b) on the date of the exercise of the extension option and on the first day of each such Extended Term, there shall be a Guaranty in favor of Landlord from a Qualifying Guarantor which shall either meet the standard in clause (a) or (c) of the definition of Qualifying Guarantor or shall provide Landlord with the audited financial statement described in the last paragraph of the definition of Qualifying Guarantor to establish that it meets the criteria in clause (b) thereof to be a Qualifying Guarantor, even if such Entity is a BP Affiliate. All of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Agreement shall apply to each Extended Term (including, but without limitation, the two percent annual Minimum Rent increases provided in the definition of Minimum Rent), except that Tenant shall have no right to extend the Term beyond the expiration of the fifth Extended Term. If Tenant shall elect to exercise its option to extend the Term for any Extended Term, it shall do so by giving Landlord Notice thereof not later than eighteen (18) months prior to the commencement of the applicable Extended Term, it being understood and agreed that time shall be of the essence with respect to the giving of any such Notice. If Tenant shall fail to give any such Notice, this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end of the Fixed Term or the applicable Extended Term, and Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of this Agreement. If Tenant shall give such Notice, the extension of this Agreement shall be automatically effected without the execution of any additional documents; it being understood and agreed, however, that Tenant and Landlord shall execute such documents and agreements as either party shall reasonably require to evidence the same.
