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 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.
Sublease Term The term of the Sublease (“Sublease Term”) commences on the later to occur of (1) Sublandlord’s receipt of Prime Landlord’s written consent to this Sublease, and (2) October 1, 2009 (“Sublease Commencement Date”); and expires on January 28, 2018 (“Sublease Expiration Date”; i.e., the day prior to the Termination Date pursuant to the Prime Lease). Sublandlord shall deliver the Subleased Premises “broom clean” and free of all of Sublandlord’s personal property (other than the F&F (defined in Section 2(f))) and debris, but otherwise in “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition on the Sublease Commencement Date; provided that Subtenant shall not be responsible for, or required to remedy, any violation of any applicable law, or any condition or state of facts, with respect to the Subleased Premises, the Building or the Land existing on or prior to the Sublease Commencement Date. Sublandlord is not required to perform any work to prepare the Subleased Premises for Subtenant’s intended use. If (i) for any reason Sublandlord has not received Prime Landlord’s written consent to this Sublease in form required by Section 15(i) below by the date which is sixty (60) days from the date hereof, or (ii) Prime Landlord elects to terminate the Prime Lease in respect of the Subleased Premises pursuant to Prime Landlord’s recapture right set forth in Section 16.5 of the Prime Lease, then in the case of (i), then Sublandlord and Subtenant each may elect at any time thereafter to terminate this Sublease by written notice to the other, whereupon the parties shall deem this Sublease to be null and void and of no effect (except for those provisions expressly stated herein to survive a termination), and in the case of (ii) the Sublease will be deemed terminated in accordance with Section 16.5 of the Prime Lease.
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.

Upon the date of such closing the Property and Equipment shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, be leased hereunder for the Renewal Term. If the closing shall not occur on or before the date which is six (6) months prior to the last day of the Initial Term, then the lease of the Property and Equipment shall terminate on the last day of the Initial Term and the Lessee shall comply with its obligations with respect to such termination as set forth in paragraph (b) of Section 13 hereof.
