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.
Option to Build If the dates designated by Developer are not acceptable to Connecting Transmission Owner, the Connecting Transmission Owner shall so notify the Developer and NYISO within thirty (30) Calendar Days, and unless the Developer and Connecting Transmission Owner agree otherwise, Developer shall have the option to assume responsibility for the design, procurement and construction of Connecting Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities and Stand Alone System Upgrade Facilities on the dates specified in Article 5.1.2; provided that if an Attachment Facility or Stand Alone System Upgrade Facility is needed for more than one Developer’s project, Developer’s option to build such Facility shall be contingent on the agreement of all other affected Developers. NYISO, Connecting Transmission Owner and Developer must agree as to what constitutes Stand Alone System Upgrade Facilities and identify such Stand Alone System Upgrade Facilities in Appendix A hereto. Except for Stand Alone System Upgrade Facilities, Developer shall have no right to construct System Upgrade Facilities under this option.
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).
Option to Lease The Receiver hereby grants to the Assuming Institution an exclusive option for the period of ninety (90) days commencing the day after Bank Closing to cause the Receiver to assign to the Assuming Institution any or all leases for leased Bank Premises, if any, which have been continuously occupied by the Assuming Institution from Bank Closing to the date it elects to accept an assignment of the leases with respect thereto to the extent such leases can be assigned; provided, that the exercise of this option with respect to any lease must be as to all premises or other property subject to the lease. If an assignment cannot be made of any such leases, the Receiver may, in its discretion, enter into subleases with the Assuming Institution containing the same terms and conditions provided under such existing leases for such leased Bank Premises or other property. The Assuming Institution shall give notice to the Receiver within the option period of its election to accept or not to accept an assignment of any or all leases (or enter into subleases or new leases in lieu thereof). The Assuming Institution agrees to assume all leases assigned (or enter into subleases or new leases in lieu thereof) pursuant to this Section 4.6. If the Assuming Institution gives notice of its election not to accept an assignment of a lease for one or more of the leased Bank Premises within seven (7) days of Bank Closing, then, not withstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Assuming Institution shall not be liable for any of the costs or fees associated with appraisals for the Fixtures, Furniture and Equipment located on such leased Bank Premises.
Limited Partners Rights to Transfer (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.3(c), 11.3(d), 11.3(e), 11.4 and 11.6, a Limited Partner may, without the consent of the General Partner, Transfer all or any portion of its Limited Partner Interest, or any of such Limited Partner’s economic right as a Limited Partner. In order to effect such transfer, the Limited Partner must deliver to the General Partner a duly executed copy of the instrument making such transfer and such instrument must evidence the written acceptance by the assignee of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and represent that such assignment was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
(i) If a Limited Partner is Incapacitated, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all of the rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to Transfer all or any part of his or its interest in the Partnership.
(ii) The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership.
(c) The General Partner may prohibit any Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units if it reasonably believes (based on the advice of counsel) such Transfer would require filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or would otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Units.
(d) No Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units may be made to any Person if
(i) it would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or would subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code;
(ii) it would result in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes;
(iii) such Transfer would cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code);
(iv) such Transfer would, in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.2-101;
(v) such Transfer would subject the Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended;
(vi) without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, such Transfer is a sale or exchange, and such sale or exchange would, when aggregated with all other sales and exchanges during the 12-month period ending on the date of the proposed Transfer, result in 50% or more of the interests in Partnership capital and profits being sold or exchanged during such 12-month period; or
(vii) such Transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.
(e) No transfer of any Partnership Units may be made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a nonrecourse liability (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2)), without the consent of the General Partner, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that as a condition to such consent the lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the General Partner to exchange for the Cash Amount any Partnership Units in which a security interest is held simultaneously with the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code.
(f) Any Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this Section 11.3 shall be void and ineffectual and shall not be binding upon, or recognized by, the Partnership.
Option to Purchase Subject to Section 3.5, the Receiver hereby grants to the Assuming Institution an exclusive option for the period of ninety (90) days commencing the day after Bank Closing to purchase any or all owned Bank Premises, including all Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment located on the Bank Premises. The Assuming Institution shall give written notice to the Receiver within the option period of its election to purchase or not to purchase any of the owned Bank Premises. Any purchase of such premises shall be effective as of the date of Bank Closing and such purchase shall be consummated as soon as practicable thereafter, and in no event later than the Settlement Date. If the Assuming Institution gives notice of its election not to purchase one or more of the owned Bank Premises within seven (7) days of Bank Closing, then, not withstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Assuming Institution shall not be liable for any of the costs or fees associated with appraisals for such Bank Premises and associated Fixtures, Furniture and Equipment.
OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT (MAR 2000)
Refusal to Transfer The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.
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.
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.
