Related to Grant of Options for Additional Extended Terms

• 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.

• Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, no modification shall, without the consent of the Recipient, alter to the Recipient’s detriment or impair any rights of Recipient hereunder.

• Determination of Option Rent In the event Tenant timely and appropriately exercises an option to extend the Lease Term, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s determination of the Option Rent within thirty (30) days thereafter. If Tenant, on or before the date which is ten (10) days following the date upon which Tenant receives Landlord’s determination of the Option Rent, in good faith objects to Landlord’s determination of the Option Rent, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the Option Rent using their best good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within ten (10) days following Tenant’s objection to the Option Rent (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then Tenant shall have the right to withdraw its exercise of the option by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord within five (5) days thereafter, in which event Tenant’s right to extend the Lease pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be of no further force or effect. If Tenant does not withdraw its exercise of the extension option, each party shall make a separate determination of the Option Rent, as the case may be, within ten (10) days after the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Sections 2.2.3.1 through 2.2.3.7, below.
