Option to Extend On the conditions (which conditions LESSOR may waive, at its election, by written notice to LESSEE at any time) that LESSEE is not in default of its covenants and obligations under the Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, both as of the time of exercise of the Option to Extend, as hereinafter defined, and at the commencement of the Extension Period, as hereinafter defined, then LESSEE shall have the right to extend the term hereof (the “Option to Extend”) for one additional term of five years, ending on March 31, 2019 (the “Extension Period’), to commence immediately upon the expiration of the then current term. LESSEE may exercise such Option to Extend by giving written notice to LESSOR (the “Extension Notice”) on or before the date which no less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term. Such Extension Period shall be upon the same terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the Base Rent payable shall be set at the then fair market effective rent for the Leased Premises. In no event, however, shall the Base Rent be less than the then-current Base Rent at the expiration of the current Term. For the purpose of this Section, fair market effective rent shall mean the Base Rent plus such additional financial terms in the nature of rent and rent adjustments customarily then being included in leases for similar space within the greater Waltham area. LESSEE shall, during the Extension Period, continue to pay its proportionate share of LESSOR’s Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs. Said fair market effective rent for the Leased Premises shall be agreed upon by LESSOR and LESSEE; provided, however, if LESSOR and LESSEE are unable to agree on said fair market effective rent within thirty (30) days of the date of the Extension Notice, said fair market effective rent shall be conclusively determined by three (3) appraisers. Within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, LESSOR and LESSEE shall each select an appraiser, who shall select a third. Should the two appraisers fail to agree on a third within fifteen (15) days of the date on which such appraisers have been appointed, or if either LESSOR or LESSEE shall fail to appoint an appraiser within the time provided, such appraiser shall be appointed by the American Institute of Appraisers. Each party shall bear the cost of the appraiser selected by such party, and the cost of the third appraiser shall be shared equally by LESSOR and LESSEE. If the three appraisers are unable to agree upon such fair market effective rent within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the third appraiser, the fair market effective rent shall be that determined by the appraiser not selected by either LESSOR or LESSEE.
Option to Extend Term Tenant shall have the option (“Extension Option”) to extend the Term of this Lease as to the entire Premises (and no less than the entire Premises) upon the following terms and conditions. Any extension of the Term pursuant to any Extension Option shall be on all the same terms and conditions as this Lease, except as follows:
40.1. Tenant shall have two (2) consecutive options to extend the Term of this Lease for five (5) years each on the same terms and conditions as this Lease. Basic Annual Rent shall be adjusted on the first (1st) day of the extension term and each annual anniversary date thereof in accordance with Article 6.
40.2. The Extension Option is not assignable separate and apart from this Lease.
40.3. The Extension Option is conditional upon Tenant giving Landlord written notice of its election to exercise the Extension Option at least twelve (12) months prior to the end of the expiration of the then-current Term. Time shall be of the essence as to Tenant’s exercise of any Extension Option. Tenant assumes full responsibility for maintaining a record of the deadlines to exercise any Extension Option. Tenant acknowledges that it would be inequitable to require Landlord to accept any exercise of any Extension Option after the date provided for in this paragraph.
40.4. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 40, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise the Extension Option: (a) during any time that Tenant is in Default under any provision of this Lease or the Required Leases (provided, however, that, for purposes of this Section 40.4(b), Landlord shall not be required to provide Tenant with notice of such Default but upon Tenant’s notification to Landlord of Tenant’s intent to exercise the Extension Option, Landlord shall promptly provide Tenant with written notice of such Defaults to which Landlord is aware) and continuing until Tenant cures any such Default, if such Default is susceptible to being cured; or (b) in the event that Tenant has defaulted in the performance of its obligations under this Lease three (3) or more times and a service or late charge has become payable under Section 24.1 for each of such defaults during the twelve (12)-month period immediately prior to the date that Tenant intends to exercise an Extension Option, whether or not Tenant has cured such defaults. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the nature of such default is such that it could reasonably be cured before the deadline for Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option, then the deadline for Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option shall be extended for five (5) days to provide Tenant the opportunity to cure such default.
40.5. Except as provided in Section 40.4, the period of time within which Tenant may exercise an Extension Option shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise such Extension Option because of the provisions of Section 40.4.
40.6. All of Tenant’s rights under the provisions of the Extension Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant’s due and timely exercise of the Extension Option if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of the new term, (a) Tenant fails to pay to Landlord a monetary obligation of Tenant for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant, (b) Tenant fails to commence to cure a default (other than a monetary default) within thirty (30) days after the date Landlord gives notice to Tenant of such default, (c) Tenant commences to cure a default (other than a monetary default) but does not prosecute to completion prior to the commencement date of the extended Term (unless Tenant is diligently prosecuting to completion and merely needs additional time), or (d) Tenant has defaulted under this Lease three (3) or more times and a service or late charge under Section 24.1 has become payable for any such default, whether or not Tenant has cured such defaults.
Option to Extend Lease Term At the expiration of the original Lease Term, Tenant may extend this Lease as to the entire Premises or a portion of the Premises for two (2) extended terms of five (5) years each (each an “Extended Term”) by giving Landlord written notice (the “Option Notice”) of its intention to do so not later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the original Lease Term, and thereafter twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the applicable Extended Term; provided, however, that Tenant is not in material default beyond any applicable notice and cure period under the Lease on the date of giving such notice or on the date of commencement of such Extended Term. The Option Notice shall set forth Tenant’s election to extend the Lease for all or a portion of the Premises. If Tenant elects to extend the Lease for only a portion of the Premises, the portion of the Premises for which Tenant elects not to extend the Lease shall be: (i) either located entirely on one floor of the Premises or located on one entire floor and a portion of the other floor; (ii) a minimum of 15,000 RSF; (iii) adjacent to a window line and easily accessible; and (iv) shall be in a readily marketable and leasable location. Landlord shall be responsible for any and all costs to separate the portion of the Premises for which Tenant elects not to extend the Lease from the remainder of the Premises such that the space is a separate easily accessible and readily marketable space promptly following the commencement of the applicable Extended Term. Any termination of the entire Lease shall result in automatic termination of this option. Tenant’s right to extend the Lease Term provided herein is personal to Tenant and may not be assigned or otherwise transferred except in connection with a permitted assignment of this Lease, including to a Tenant’s Affiliate. The Extended Term shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the following rights of Tenant during the original Lease Term shall not apply during such Extended Term unless granted as part of the Fair Market Rental: (a) any right to rent-free possession; (b) any right to further extension of the Lease Term beyond the Extended Terms set forth herein above; (c) any right to continue to pay the same Base Rent; (d) any right to additional Tenant Allowance; (e) any right to terminate the Extended Term early; (f) any right to continue to exclude HVAC Capital Expenditures; (g) cost of security for the Building; and (h) the right to the continuation of any cap on Controllable Operating Expenses from the previous year (it being understood that the Operating Expenses for the first twelve (12) months of each new Extended Term shall be the actual Operating Expenses without any cap and thereafter the cap set forth in Section 4.2(e) shall apply). Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the Base Rent during each Extended Term shall be equal to ninety-five (95%) of the Base Rent component of the “Fair Market Rental” and one hundred percent (100%) of the economic concessions, including without limitation, free rent, improvement allowance, base year and other monetary concessions, component of the Fair Market Rental for the Premises, as determined by as follows:
(a) Concurrent with Tenant’s delivery of each Option Notice, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of its determination of Fair Market Rental for the Premises (“Tenant’s Determination of FMR”). Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Determination of FMR, Landlord shall, by written notice delivered to Tenant, either (a) accept Tenant’s Determination of FMR (“Notice of Acceptance”), or (b) reject Tenant’s Determination of FMR (“Notice of Rejection”). If Landlord does not deliver either the Notice of Acceptance or the Notice of Rejection within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have accepted Tenant’s Determination of FMR. If Landlord delivers a Notice of Rejection, Landlord shall also concurrently deliver to Tenant Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rental for the Premises (“Landlord’s Determination of FMR”). If Landlord delivers the Notice of Rejection within said thirty (30) day period, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon the Fair Market Rental within thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers the Notice of Rejection (“Negotiation Period”).
(b) If the parties fail to agree on the Fair Market Rental for such Extended Term during the Negotiation Period, then the Fair Market Rental shall be established as set forth below. Within fifteen (15) days following expiration of the Negotiation Period, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon a broker to determine the Fair Market Rental and shall concurrently deliver their final Tenant’s Determination of FMR and final Landlord’s Determination of FMR to use for the arbitration procedure set forth below; provided however, that if the difference between the final Landlord’s Determination of FMR and the final Tenant’s Determination of FMR is five percent (5%) or less, then a broker shall not be designated and the Fair Market Rental shall equal the average of the two (2) determinations. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon a broker, then either party hereunder may request that the Presiding Judge of the Maricopa County Superior Court appoint such broker. Within ten (10) business days after the selection of the broker, such broker shall select either the final Landlord’s Determination of FMR or the final Tenant’s Determination of FMR in its entirety, without averaging or otherwise adjusting such value in any manner, and shall notify the parties of his or her decision. The broker’s decision concerning the Fair Market Rental shall be binding upon the parties, shall not be subject to any right of appeal and shall constitute the Rent payable by Tenant during the Extended Term.
(c) Landlord and Tenant intend that the “Fair Market Rental” shall be deemed to be the rent per square foot of rentable area of space that is then being charged for space located in buildings in the vicinity of the Building that are comparable in quality, age and size and offer similar amenities to the Building (“Comparable Buildings”) and involving non-renewing leases (i.e. leases where the tenant is not already occupying the leased premises) with similar terms and conditions, and involving the use of the premises for similar purposes allowed under the Lease for tenants of similar size, credit quality and stature and include current market concessions including tenant improvement allowances, abatement, downtime to secure a new tenant and build out space, brokerage commissions, a new base year (if given in comparable deals) and/or the anticipated budget for Additional Rent, inducements and other economic considerations for the lease of space comparable to the Premises then being offered in similar buildings in the Southeast Valley Submarket. The spaces used for comparison shall be comparable in size, age, quality and design to the Premises, and such spaces used for comparison shall be comparable to the Premises with respect to their location within such buildings, the quality and quantity of tenant improvements installed at each landlord’s expense, the services provided by each landlord to such tenant, and the financial strength of tenant.
(d) The parties shall share equally in the cost of the broker. No person shall be appointed or designated a broker unless he or she is a real estate broker licensed in the State of Arizona, who specializes in the field of commercial office space leasing in the Southeast Valley market, has at least ten (10) years’ experience in leasing of commercial office space in the Southwest Valley market and is recognized within the field as being reputable and ethical. The broker shall not have ever been employed (full-time or part-time or on a consulting basis) by Landlord or Tenant.
(e) In the event that the Fair Market Rental is not established before the commencement of the Extended Term, Tenant shall continue to pay the Base Rent in effect as of the end of the prior term; when the Fair Market Rental has been established, the new Base Rent and concessions granted pursuant to the Fair Market Rental shall be retroactively effective as of the beginning of the Extended Term, and Tenant shall pay Landlord any deficiency or Tenant shall receive a credit, as applicable, with in thirty (30) days after the establishment of the new Fair Market Rental.
Option to Expand On or before expiration of the sixth (6th) month of the term, Tenant shall be required to lease the remainder 3,942 square feet of Rentable Space on the third (3rd) floor, at the same rental rate then being paid for the initial Premises. In addition, Tenant will have the right to expand during the first 6 months by leasing the approximately 15,165 square feet of Rental Space on the fourth (4th) floor (the “4th Floor Space”) as identified on Exhibit “B-1” attached to this Lease and incorporated herein by reference at the same rental rate then being paid in the initial Premises; provided, however, Landlord will continue to keep the 4th Floor Space available for lease to Tenant for one additional period of three (3) months (a total of nine months following the commencement date), but if Tenant elects to lease the 4th Floor Space between the expiration of the sixth (6) month and commencement of the ninth (9th) month following commencement of the Lease, the rental rate shall be increased by twenty-five cents (.25¢) per square foot, and Tenant improvements dollars will decline on a pro rata basis based on the remaining length of the term. If the Tenant does not elect to lease the fourth (4th) floor space during the initial nine (9) months following commencement of the Lease, Tenant shall have the right of first refusal to lease the 4th Floor Space in the event that Landlord receives an offer to lease the space, and any such right of first refusal shall be on the exact terms received and approved by Landlord from a third party offering to lease the 4th Floor Space. Tenant shall have the option to lease at then current market rental rates any additional space which is available in 5,000 rsf increments consisting of the area which is available on the second (2nd) and fifth (5th) floors designated and referred to as the “Expansion Space”, at any time during the lease term (the “Effective Date”) and ending on the expiration of the Lease Term (unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and subject to any rights of extension contained in this Lease) by delivering written notice to Landlord, provided that at the time of such notice and on the Effective Date, no event of default, as defined in Paragraph 25 of this Lease, shall have occurred and remain uncured beyond any applicable cure period. Once Tenant shall exercise an expansion option, Tenant may not thereafter revoke such exercise. Tenant’s failure to timely exercise an expansion option for any reason whatsoever shall conclusively be deemed a waiver of such expansion option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s option shall be subject to a determination by Landlord, in Landlord’s discretion, that Tenant’s financial condition at the time it makes such election is sufficient to meet its financial obligation associated with the Offered Space.
Term and Renewal Options The term of service is 24 months (Initial Term). Following the expiration of the Initial Term, service under this option will continue on a month-to-month basis subject to the terms and conditions, including rates and discounts set forth under this option (Extension Term). The Company or the Customer may elect to forego the Extension Term by providing the other party written notice at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term. Either party may terminate service during the Extension Term by providing the other party at least 60 days prior written notice. Term shall mean the Initial Term and the Extension Term.
OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT (MAR 2000)
Renewal Option This Contract may be renewed under the same terms and conditions, subject to the approval of the Commissioner of the Department of Administration and the State Budget Director in compliance with IC § 5-22-17-4. The term of the renewed contract may not be longer than the term of the original Contract.
OPTION TO RENEW Landlord hereby grants to Tenant Two (2) options to renew the Lease for an additional period of five (5) years each (the Renewal Terms). The Each Renewal Term shall commence upon the expiration of the preceding lease term (or the first Renewal Term as appropriate) such that there shall not be a gap in the time between the Lease Term and the Renewal Terms. Tenant shall only be permitted to exercise the second Renewal Term if it has previously exercised the option for the first Renewal Term. In the event that Tenant subleases the Premises or any portion thereof or assigns its interest under this Lease, Tenant shall lose any rights or options to renew or extend the term of this Lease.
1. The lease of the Leased Premises for the each Renewal Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease, except:
A. That the rental for the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term shall be as set forth below in Paragraph 3, and
B. That the Security Deposit shall be increased to the rental amount determined in Paragraph 3 (the “Increased Security Deposit Amount”).
2. Tenant shall notify Landlord of Tenant’s exercise of its right to renew the Lease for the each Renewal Term only by giving to Landlord written notice not sooner than eight (8) months prior to the Renewal Commencement Date and not later than seven (7) months prior to the Renewal Commencement Date (time is expressly of the essence to Landlord). Any attempted exercise of this Option made other than within the time period stated or in the manner stated shall be void and of no force or effect. In the event that Tenant does not or is not entitled to exercise its option Tenant shall have no further rights hereunder.
3. If Tenant shall have properly and timely exercised its right to extend the term of the Lease, the term of the Lease shall be so extended for the Renewal Term on the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease; provided, however, the Base Monthly Rent for each month of the Renewal Term shall be calculated as follows: The new Base Monthly Rent for the Renewal Term shall be the greater of: (i) the Base Monthly Rent being paid by Tenant to Landlord during the final full month of the final year of the initial Lease Term (or the final month of the first Renewal Term as appropriate), or (ii) the Then Market Rental Rate for the Lease Premises.
4. The term “Then Monthly Market Rental Rate” shall be determined by mutual agreement between Landlord and Tenant or, in the event such agreement cannot be made within ten (10) days from the date Tenant shall have exercised this option, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a real estate appraiser with at least five (5) years full-time commercial/industrial appraisal experience in Santa Xxxxx County to appraise and determine the fair market monthly rental rate the Leased Premises, in their then existing condition for the use specified in the Lease could be leased for, on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Lease, to a qualified tenant ready, willing and able to lease the Leased Premises for a term equal to the Renewal Term. If either party does not appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its appraiser, the other party can then apply to the President of the Santa Xxxxx County Real Estate Board or the presiding Judge of the Superior Court of that County for the selection of a second appraiser who meets the qualifications stated above. The failing party shall bear the cost of appointing the second appraiser and of paying the second appraiser’s fee. The two appraisers shall attempt to establish the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises. If the two appraisers are unable to agree on the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises within ten (10) days after the second appraiser has been selected or appointed, then the two appraisers shall attempt to select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated above. If they fail to agree on a third appraiser, either party can follow the above procedure for having an appraiser appointed by the Real Estate Board or a judiciary. Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost of appointing the third appraiser and of paying the third appraiser’s fee. Unless the three appraisers are able to agree Landlord Initials W Tenant Initials NH on the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises within ten (10) days after the selection or appointment of the third appraiser, the two appraisal amounts being calculated most closely together, after having discarded the appraisal amount which most greatly varies from the other two appraisal amounts, shall be added together then divided by two (2). The resulting rental amount shall be defined as the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises. In no event, however, shall the resulting Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Renewal Term be less than the Base Monthly Rent paid during the final full month of the initial Lease Term (or the first Renewal Term as appropriate).
Extension Option Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, Borrower shall have the option (the “First Extension Option”), by irrevocable written notice (the “First Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, to extend the Maturity Date to March 9, 2010 (the “First Extended Maturity Date”). In the event Borrower shall have exercised the First Extension Option, Borrower shall have the option (the “Second Extension Option”), by irrevocable written notice (the “Second Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender no later than thirty (30) days prior to the First Extended Maturity Date, to extend the First Extended Maturity Date to March 9, 2011 (the “Second Extended Maturity Date”). In the event Borrower shall have exercised the Second Extension Option, Borrower shall have the option (the “Third Extension Option”), by irrevocable written notice (the “Third Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Second Extended Maturity Date, to extend the Second Extended Maturity Date to March 9, 2012 (the “Third Extended Maturity Date”). Borrower’s right to so extend the Maturity Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent prior to each extension hereunder:
i. No Monetary Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing both on (A) the date Borrower delivers the First Extension Notice, the Second Extension Notice or the Third Extension Notice, as applicable, and (B) on the Initial Maturity Date, the First Extended Maturity Date and the Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable;
ii. Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the first day of the term of the Loan as extended one or more Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreements from an Acceptable Counterparty which Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) shall have a strike rate equal to the Maximum Pay Rate and shall be effective for the period commencing on the day immediately following the then applicable Maturity Date (prior to giving effect to the applicable Extension Option) and ending on the last day of the Interest Period in which the applicable extended Maturity Date occurs; and
iii. Borrower shall deliver (or shall commit to deliver within five (5) Business Days thereafter) a Counterparty Opinion with respect to the Extension Interest Rate Agreement and the related Acknowledgment.
Renewal Options a. Tenant shall have the right and option to renew the Lease (“Renewal Option”) for two (2) successive renewal periods of five (5) years each (each, an “Option Term”); provided, however, the Renewal Option is contingent upon the following: (i) there is not an Event of Default beyond all applicable cure period(s) at the time Tenant gives Landlord notice of Tenant’s intention to exercise the Renewal Option or at the expiration of the current Term; (ii) no event has occurred that upon notice or the passage of time would constitute an Event of Default, unless Landlord has given notice of default and Tenant is diligently attempting to cure such event; and (iii) Tenant is occupying the Premises. Following expiration of the final Option Term allowable hereunder, Tenant shall have no further right to renew the Lease pursuant to this Section 5.
b. Tenant shall exercise the Renewal Option by giving Landlord notice at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the current Term. If Tenant fails to give notice to Landlord prior to the 180-day period, then Tenant shall forfeit the Renewal Option. If Tenant exercises the Renewal Option, then during the Option Term, Landlord and Tenant’s respective rights, duties and obligations shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Lease, except as provided otherwise in this Section. Time is of the essence in exercising the Renewal Option.
c. The Base Rental for an Option Term shall be the Fair Market Rental Rate. “Fair Market Rental Rate” shall mean the market rental rate for the time period such determination is being made for office space in same class office buildings in the area of Franklin, Tennessee (the “Area”) of comparable condition for space of equivalent quality, size, utility, and location. Such determination shall take into account all relevant factors, including, without limitation, the following matters: the credit standing of Tenant; the length of the term; the fact that Landlord will experience no vacancy period and that Tenant will not suffer the costs and business interruption associated with moving its offices and negotiating a new lease; construction allowances and other tenant concessions that would be available to tenants comparable to Tenant in the Area (such as moving expense allowance, free rent periods, and lease assumptions and take over provisions, if any, but specifically excluding the value of improvements installed in the Premises at Tenant’s cost), and whether adjustments are then being made in determining the rental rates for renewals in the Area because of concessions being offered by Landlord to Tenant (or the lack thereof for the Option Term in question). For purposes of such calculation, it will only be assumed that Landlord is paying a representative of Tenant a brokerage commission in connection with the Option Term in question if Landlord is in fact paying a brokerage commission to a representative of Tenant in connection with the applicable Option Term.
