Expansion Option The Borrower may from time to time elect to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments in minimum increments of $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree) so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $50,000,000. The Borrower may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Revolving Credit Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”; provided that no Ineligible Institution may be an Augmenting Lender), which agree to increase their existing Revolving Credit Commitments, or provide new Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto. No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15. Increases and new Revolving Credit Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments (or in the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 6.2 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenant contained in Section 9.3 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents and opinions consistent with those delivered on the effective date as to the organizational power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase. On the effective date of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans as of the date of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Credit Loans, with related LIBOR Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.9). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each LIBOR Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related LIBOR Periods. Nothing contained in this Section 2.15 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder.
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 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.
Extension Options Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6.1, 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 Stated Maturity Date, to extend the Maturity Date to August 31, 2022 (the “First 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 the effectiveness of any such extension:
(a) (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date Borrower delivers the First Extension Notice or the Second Extension Notice, as applicable, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Stated Maturity Date and the First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable;
(b) All amounts due and payable by Borrower and any other Person pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as of the Stated Maturity Date or the First Maturity Date, as applicable, and all costs and expenses of Lender, including fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel, in connection with the Loan and/or the extension shall have been paid in full;
(c) Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to Lender (i) certifying that all representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement remain true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Option, and (ii) waiving any claims, counterclaims, rights of rescission, set-offs or defenses, known or unknown, against Lender as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Option. If Borrower is unable to satisfy all of the foregoing conditions within the applicable time frames for each, Lender shall have no obligation to extend the Stated Maturity Date hereunder.
Our Option If we give you written notice within 30 days after we receive your signed, sworn proof of loss, we may repair or replace any part of the damaged property with material or property of like kind and quality.
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.
Top-Up Option (a) The Company hereby grants to Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable only on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.10, to purchase at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) the last reported sale price of a Share on The Nasdaq Stock Market on the last trading day prior to the date on which the Top-Up Option is exercised or (ii) the Closing Amount, newly issued Shares (the “Top-Up Shares”) so that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Sub prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option, Sub will own at least ninety percent (90%) of the Shares outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares (not including in the Shares owned by Sub any Shares tendered pursuant to unfulfilled guaranteed delivery procedures); provided, however, that (i) the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable for a number of Shares in excess of the Shares authorized and unissued at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option and (ii) the Top-Up Option may not be exercised unless, following the Acceptance Time or after a subsequent offering period, seventy percent (70%) or more of the Shares shall be owned by Sub. The Top-Up Option shall be exercisable once at any time following the Acceptance Time and prior to the earlier to occur of (A) the Effective Time and (B) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Sub may assign the Top-Up Option and its rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 1.10, in its sole discretion, to Parent.
(b) The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Shares complies with all applicable Laws, including compliance with an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. If Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Sub shall give the Company written notice, specifying (i) the number of Shares owned by Sub, (ii) a place and a time for the closing of such purchase and (iii) the manner in which Sub intends to pay the applicable purchase price. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, deliver written notice to Sub specifying, based on the information provided by Sub in its notice, the number of Top-Up Shares. Prior to the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, upon Sub’s request, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to certify in writing to Sub the number of Shares issued and outstanding (A) as of immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option and (B) after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares.
(c) The aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Shares may be paid, at Sub’s option, (i) in cash, (ii) by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of the remaining aggregate purchase price, or (iii) a combination thereof, provided that Sub shall use cash for at least the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Shares. The Company Board has approved such consideration for the Top-Up Shares. Any such promissory note shall include the following terms: (1) the maturity date shall be one (1) year after issuance, (2) the unpaid principal amount of the promissory note shall accrue simple interest at a per annum rate of 3.00% and (3) the promissory note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without penalty or prior notice.
(d) Parent and Sub acknowledge that the Shares that Sub may acquire upon exercise of the Top-Up Option shall not be registered under the Securities Act and shall be issued in reliance upon an exemption for transactions not involving a public offering. Sub agrees that the Top-Up Option, and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, if any, are being and shall be acquired by Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).
(e) The obligation of the Company to deliver Top-Up Shares upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option is subject to the conditions that (i) no provision of any applicable Law and no judgment, injunction, order or decree shall prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the delivery of the Top-Up Shares in respect of such exercise, (ii) due to the exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of Shares owned by Parent, Sub and their Affiliates will constitute more than ninety percent (90%) of the number of Shares that will be outstanding on a fully-diluted basis immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares, and (iii) Sub has accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn.
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.
Extension Right Tenant shall have 1 right (the “Extension Right”) to extend the term of this Lease for 3 years (the “Extension Term”) on the same terms and conditions as this Lease (other than Base Rent) by giving Landlord written notice of its election to exercise each Extension Right at least 12 months, and no earlier than 18 months, prior to the expiration of the Base Term of the Lease.
Expansion Premises (a) In consideration of the rents, terms, provisions and covenants of this Amendment and the Lease, Landlord hereby leases unto Tenant and Tenant hereby rents and accepts from Landlord the Expansion Premises. The Expansion Premises is more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto. The Expansion Premises is contiguous to the Replacement Premises.
(b) Tenant covenants, as a material part of the consideration for the Lease, as amended hereby, to keep and perform each and all of said terms, covenants and conditions for which Tenant is liable and that this Amendment is made upon the condition of such performance. On and after the Second Renewal Term Commencement Date, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease, as amended hereby, shall apply to both the Replacement Premises and the Expansion Premises. From and after the Second Renewal Term Commencement Date, each and every reference in the Lease and in this Amendment to “Premises” shall be and mean the Replacement Premises and the Expansion Premises, collectively. The Replacement Premises and Expansion Premises consist of a total of approximately 12,103 rentable square feet. The Expansion Premises shall be known as Suite 246.
(c) At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute a Commencement Date Memorandum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B acknowledging, among other things, the (i) Second Renewal Term Commencement Date, (ii) scheduled termination date of the Lease and (iii) Tenant’s acceptance of the Expansion Premises. Tenant’s failure to execute the Commencement Date Memorandum shall not affect Tenant’s liability hereunder.
