Lease Extension Lessee may request Lessor to extend the original Scheduled Expiration Date of each Lease Agreement for an additional period of three (3) years by appropriately completing, executing and delivering to Agent a written request in the form of Exhibit G(2), together with an attachment thereto setting forth the terms upon which Lessee would propose for the requested extension (a "Lease Extension Request"). Lessee shall deliver each Lease Extension Request to Agent not more than twelve (12) months and not less than nine (9) months before the original Scheduled Expiration Date. Agent shall promptly deliver to Lessor and each Participant three (3) copies of each Lease Extension Request received by Agent. If Lessor or a Participant, in its sole and absolute discretion, consents to a Lease Extension Request, such Person shall evidence such consent by executing and returning two (2) copies of such Lease Extension Request to Agent not later than the last Business Day which is not less than seven (7) months prior to the original Scheduled Expiration Date for the applicable Lease Agreement. Any failure by Lessor or any Participant so to execute and return a Lease Extension Request shall be deemed a denial thereof. If Lessee shall deliver a Lease Extension Request to Lessor pursuant to the first sentence of this Subparagraph 2.09(b), then not later than the last Business Day which is not less than six (6) months prior to the original Scheduled Expiration Date for the applicable Lease Agreement, Agent shall notify Lessee, Lessor and the Participants in writing whether (i) Agent has received a copy of the Lease Extension Request executed by Lessor and each Participant, in which case the definition of "Scheduled Expiration Date" set forth in Subparagraph 2.02(a) of the applicable Lease Agreement shall be deemed extended to the date which is three (3) years after the original Scheduled Expiration Date (subject to the receipt by Agent of any amounts payable by Lessee in connection with such extension), or (ii) Agent has not received a copy of the Lease Extension Request executed by Lessor and each Participant, in which case such Lease Extension Request shall be deemed denied. Lessee acknowledges that neither Lessor nor any Participant has promised (either expressly or implicitly), or has any obligation or commitment, to extend or consent to the extension of the Scheduled Expiration Date for either Lease Agreement at any time.
