Related to Maturity Extension Option

  • Extension Option The Borrower may request that the Commitments be extended for up to two additional one year periods by providing not less than 30 days’ written notice (the date of such notice, a “Notice Date”) to the Administrative Agent prior to any anniversary of the Closing Date. If a Bank agrees, in its individual and sole discretion (and with the approval of the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, such approval, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), to extend its Commitment (such Bank, an “Extending Bank”), it will notify the Administrative Agent, in writing, of its decision to do so no later than 15 days after the applicable Notice Date (such extension decision, a “Commitment Extension”). The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, in writing, of the Banks’ decisions promptly upon receipt thereof and in any event not later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof. The Extending Banks’ Commitments will be extended for an additional year from the then current Maturity Date so long as (i) the Commitments of the Extending Banks (after giving effect to any assumption by any Extending Banks of Commitments of Declining Banks as described below), together with the Commitments of any New Banks that replace any Declining Banks, represent more than 50% of the Total Commitments then in effect, and (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrower to extend the Commitments, the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.3 shall be satisfied. No Commitment Extension shall result in the then-existing Maturity Date being more than five (5) years from the effective date of such Commitment Extension. No Bank shall be required to consent to any such extension request or be required to increase its Commitment. The Maturity Date with respect to any Bank that declines or does not respond to the Borrower’s request for an extension of the Commitments (a “Declining Bank”) shall remain the then-existing Maturity Date (without regard to any extension of the Commitments of other Banks); provided that the Borrower shall continue to have the right to replace any such Declining Bank (with respect to all or any portion of its Commitment) following the effectiveness of any such extension. The Borrower will have the right to accept Commitments from any Eligible Assignee that is not a Bank in an aggregate amount up to the aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Declining Banks; provided that any Eligible Assignee proposed to be substituted for a Declining Bank (unless such Eligible Assignee is an affiliate of a Bank) must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, such approval, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Borrower may only extend the Maturity Date twice during the term of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.7.

  • Extension Options Borrower shall have the option (the “First Extension Option”), by written notice (the “First Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender (which notice may be revoked) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date, to extend the Maturity Date to September 9, 2017 (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 written notice (the “Second Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender (which notice may be revoked) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the First Extended Maturity Date, to extend the First Extended Maturity Date to September 9, 2018 (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 written notice (the “Third Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender (which notice may be revoked) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Second Extended Maturity Date, to extend the Second Extended Maturity Date to September 9, 2019 (the “Third Extended Maturity Date”). Borrower’s right to so extend the applicable Maturity Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent prior to each extension hereunder:

  • 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.

  • Maturity Date Extension The Borrower shall be entitled to extend the Maturity Date for up to two (2) six-month extensions; provided that (i) no Default then exists, (ii) the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent, at least ninety (90) days but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the initial Maturity Date or the First Extension Maturity Date, as the case may be, written notice of such extension, (iii) on or prior to the initial Maturity Date or the First Extension Maturity Date, as the case may be, the Borrower pays to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Banks an extension fee equal to 0.075% of the Total Commitments that will exist as of the first day of the first or second six-month extension, as the case may be (the “Extension Fee”), and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to the initial Maturity Date or the First Extension Maturity Date, as the case may be, for the account of each Bank a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent, dated as of the initial Maturity Date or the First Extension Maturity Date, as the case may be (the “Extension Date”), stating that: (a) the representations and warranties contained in Article IV are true and correct on and as of the applicable Extension Date as such representations and warranties may have changed based upon events or activities not prohibited by this Agreement, (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such extension, and (c) the Borrower, Parent and each Material Subsidiary is in compliance with the covenants contained in Article VII immediately before and, on a pro forma basis, immediately after the extension, together with a Compliance Certificate or other reasonable supporting information demonstrating such compliance. The Borrower’s delivery of written notice to extend shall be irrevocable, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of any such notice. In connection with any such extension, the parties hereto shall execute any documents reasonably requested in connection with or to evidence such extension. ARTICLE II

  • Optional Extension of Maturity The provisions of this Section 308 may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 301). The Stated Maturity of any Security of such series may be extended at the option of the Company for the period or periods specified on the face of such Security (each an "Extension Period") up to but not beyond the date (the "Final Maturity") set forth on the face of such Security. The Company may exercise such option with respect to any Security by notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity of such Security in effect prior to the exercise of such option (the "Original Stated Maturity"). If the Company exercises such option, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, to the Holder of such Security not later than 40 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity a notice (the "Extension Notice") indicating (i) the election of the Company to extend the Maturity, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the interest rate applicable to the Extension Period and (iv) the provisions, if any, for redemption during such Extension Period. Upon the Trustee's transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Stated Maturity of such Security shall be extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as described in the next paragraph, such Security will have the same terms as prior to the transmittal of such Extension Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days before the Original Stated Maturity of such Security, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate provided for in the Extension Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher interest rate to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the Stated Maturity is extended will bear such higher interest rate. If the Company extends the Maturity of any Security, the Holder will have the option to elect repayment of such Security by the Company on the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to such date. In order to obtain repayment on the Original Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Maturity thereof, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for repayment at the option of Holders, except that the period for delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may, by written notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender for repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before the Original Stated Maturity.

  • 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.

  • Extension Term The Term of the Lease is hereby extended for sixty (60) months and, therefore, the Term Expiration Date is hereby amended to mean January 14, 2023. The period commencing on January 15, 2018 (the “Extension Term Commencement Date”) and ending on the Term Expiration Date shall be referred to herein as the “Extension Term.”

  • Expansion Options Tenant shall have expansion rights as to spaces described below. Option Spaces “1”, “2” and “3” below shall be subject to Landlord’s and Tenant’s final approval of exact location of such Option Space based upon the Tenant’s final determination of the exact location and size of the Leased Premises, which, as set forth herein, shall be determined no later than March 1, 2013, it being intended by both parties that Option Space 1 shall be a full floor and shall be contiguous to the Leased Premises and that Option Space 2 shall be a full floor and shall be contiguous to the Leased Premises or to Option Space 1. For example only, if the initial Leased Premises includes premises on the 5th floor, then Option Space 1 and Option Space 2 will be substantially as depicted on Schedule “G-1” hereto, but if the initial Leased Premises do not include premises on the 5th floor, then Option Space 1 and Option Space 2 will be on the 5th and 4th floors, respectively. The determination of the location of Option Spaces shall be memorialized in writing by the parties on or before March 15, 2013 following Tenant’s election as to the size of the initial Leased Premises. If leased by Tenant within the required time periods, Option Space 1 and Option Space 2 shall be leased on the same terms and conditions of the initial Lease, with the Allowance, Abatement and any other rental concessions prorated for the remaining Term, all as set forth below, and the Term for such space(s) shall be co-terminus with the initial Term. If leased by Tenant, Option Space 3 will be leased in accordance with the terms below. Tenant’s expansion options are as follows:

  • Optional Extension of Stated Maturity The provisions of this Section 3.08 may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 3.01 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 3.01). The Stated Maturity of any Security of such series may be extended at the option of the Company for the period or periods specified on the face of such Security (each an "Extension Period") up to but not beyond the date (the "Final Maturity") set forth on the face of such Security. The Company may exercise such option with respect to any Security by notifying the Trustees of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity of such Security in effect prior to the exercise of such option (the "Original Stated Maturity"). If the Company exercises such option, the Trustees shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 1.07, to the Holder of such Security not later than 40 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity a notice (the "Extension Notice") indicating (i) the election of the Company to extend the Stated Maturity, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the interest rate (if any) applicable to the Extension Period and (iv) the provisions, if any, for redemption during such Extension Period. Upon the Trustees' transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Stated Maturity of such Security shall be extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as described in the next paragraph, such Security will have the same terms as prior to the transmittal of such Extension Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days before the Original Stated Maturity of such Security, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate provided for in the Extension Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Trustees to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 1.07, notice of such higher interest rate to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the Stated Maturity is extended will bear such higher interest rate. If the Company extends the Maturity of any Security, the Holder will have the option to elect repayment of such Security by the Company on the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to such date. In order to obtain repayment on the Original Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Maturity thereof, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for repayment at the option of Holders, except that the period for delivery or notification to the Trustees shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may by written notice to the Trustees revoke such tender for repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before the Original Stated Maturity.

  • Extension Terms Sublessee shall have two (2) successive options (each, an “Extension Option”) to extend the Term for periods of five (5) years each (each, an “Extension Term”), the first of which Extension Term shall commence on the termination date of the Base Term, and the second of which shall commence on the day immediately following the expiration of the first Extension Term, said Extended Terms to be on the same terms and conditions as the Lease except that (i) the Lease shall contain no further options to extend after the expiration of the second Extension Term, and (ii) the Fixed Rental Rate applicable to each Extension Term shall be computed as set forth below and not be subject to annual adjustment as provided in the reference data. Sublessee shall provide written notice (“Sublessee’s Extension Notice”) to Sublessor of its determination to exercise each such Extension Option no later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term (“Notice Date”). The Fixed Rental Rate for each Extension Term shall be 90% of the fair market rental rate (the “Extension Rental Rate”) for the Leased Premises, which is defined as the then prevailing fair market net rental rate for office and warehouse space at comparable property in the Portsmouth and Dover, NH markets assuming no adjustment thereto during the applicable Extension Term and no free rent period or tenant improvement allowances, excluding the value of any Alterations or other improvements made to the Premises that were paid for by Sublessee and taking into consideration factors such as (i) the percentage of the Building occupied by Sublessee, (ii) Sublessee’s obligation to pay Expenses as provided herein, and (iii) any other relevant factors either Sublessee or Sublessor wishes to bring to the attention of the other or to a real estate professional called upon to assist in the determination of the fair market rental rate. The Extension Rental Rate shall be determined as follows: in the event Sublessee timely exercises an Extension Option in accordance herewith, within ten (10) business days after Sublessor receives Sublessee’s Extension Notice, Sublessor shall notify Sublessee in writing of Sublessor’s good faith determination of the fair market rental rate (“Sublessor’s Extension Term Rental Notice”), which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail Sublessor’s determination of such fair market rental rate and shall provide separately, if Sublessor wishes, rent concessions and/or tenant improvement allowances that Sublessor may wish to offer, and the amount by which Sublessor’s estimate of the fair market rental rate would increase as a result of the granting of such concessions (the “Concession Rate Amount”) and shall set forth Sublessor’s determination of the expiration date of the Negotiation Period. Sublessee shall have ten (10) business days from the date of Sublessor’s Extension Term Rental Notice to either accept or dispute Sublessor’s determination of the fair market rental rate. In the event that Sublessee disputes Sublessor’s determination of the fair market rental rate, Sublessee shall so notify Sublessor and advise Sublessor of Sublessee’s determination of the fair market rental rate (which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail Sublessee’s determination of the fair market rental rate as well as concessions and improvement allowances it may be seeking, including an alternate Concession Rate Amount). If Sublessor and Sublessee cannot agree upon the Extension Rental Rate within sixty (60) days of the date of Sublessor’s Extension Term Rental Notice (the “Negotiation Period”), Sublessee, at Sublessee’s option, shall give Sublessor, within three (3) business days of the expiration of the Negotiation Period, one of the following written notices: (a) a written notice revoking Sublessee’s exercise of such Extension Option, or (b) a written notice stating that Sublessee wishes to submit the matter to arbitration as set forth below. If Sublessee does not provide either notice, the exercise of such Extension Option shall be deemed revoked. If option (b) is chosen, Sublessor and Sublessee shall simultaneously exchange, on the fifth (5th) business day following the expiration of the Negotiation Period, statements setting forth each such party’s final determination of the fair market rental rate (each, a “Statement of Rental Rate”), including any Concession Rate Amount (separately stated), together with such backup information as to such party’s determination of the fair market rental rate and/or any Concession Rate Amount as such party wishes to include (and, in the case of Sublessor, the fair market rental rate in such Statement of Rental Rate shall not be greater than that set forth in Sublessor’s Extension Term Rental Notice and, in the case of Sublessee, the fair market rental rate in such Statement of Rental Rate shall not be less than that set forth in Sublessee’s initial determination of the fair market rental rate provided in response to Sublessor’s Extension Term Rental Notice). If the higher of the two (2) determinations of the fair market rental rate is equal to or less than 110% of the lesser determination, then the Extension Rental Rate shall be the average of the two determinations. Otherwise, Sublessor and Sublessee shall mutually select a real estate professional with at least ten (10) years’ continuous experience in the business of appraising or marketing multi-tenant mix-use commercial office, warehouse and industrial buildings in the greater Portsmouth area (the “Valuation Expert”) to resolve the dispute as to the Extension Rental Rate. If Sublessor and Sublessee cannot agree upon the designation of the Valuation Expert within ten (10) business days of the exchange of the Statements of Rental Rate, the parties shall apply to the New Hampshire Chapter of the Appraisal Institute (the “NHAI”) for appointment of a qualified Valuation Expert as follows: (i) the NHAI shall provide Sublessor and Sublessee with a list of five qualified Valuation Experts; (ii) within five (5) business days after such list is produced, each of Sublessor and Sublessee shall notify NHAI and the other party of those proposed experts that are acceptable (and, if desired, ranking the same), each being entitled to strike up to two candidates; (iii) if one party fails to send back its selections, then NHAI shall appoint the number one ranked expert proposed by the other party; if both parties fail to send back their selections, NHAI shall appoint a Valuation Expert in its discretion; and if both parties timely return their selections, then the Valuation Expert will be proposed expert that is the highest ranked (on a combined basis) by the parties as determined by NHAI. The Valuation Expert appointed by NHAI shall be final and binding upon Sublessor and Sublessee. Within five (5) business days of the selection of the Valuation Expert, Sublessor and Sublessee shall each submit to the Valuation Expert a copy of its Statement of Rental Rate, together with any supporting material. The Valuation Expert shall not perform his own valuation, but rather, shall, within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such submissions, select as the Extension Rental Rate the submission which the Valuation Expert concludes most closely and accurately reflects the fair market rental rate for the Leased Premises and the fair market rental rate set forth in that submission shall be the Extension Rental Rate for such Extension Term. The Valuation Expert shall give notice of his or her determination to Sublessor and Sublessee, and such decision shall be final and conclusively binding upon Sublessor and Sublessee. In addition, Sublessee shall be entitled to elect to take advantage of the concessions last offered by Sublessor and include the Concession Rate Amount in the Extension Rental Rate by notice to Sublessor given within thirty (30) days of the final determination by the Valuation Expert. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of any real estate professional such party retains and such party’s counsel, if any, in connection with any proceeding under this paragraph, and the party whose determination of the fair market rental rate was determined by the Valuation Expert not to most accurately and closely reflect the fair market rental rate of the Leased Premises shall pay the fees and expenses of the Valuation Expert. Sublessor and Sublessee shall execute an amendment to this Lease within thirty (30) days after the determination of the Extension Rental Rate (in accordance with the procedure set forth above) for the applicable Extension Term, which amendment shall set forth the Extension Term, the Extension Rental Rate, and all other terms and conditions for such Extension Term; provided, however, any failure to execute such amendment shall not affect such Extension Term or any terms or conditions for Sublessee’s leasing of the Premises for the applicable Extension Term.
