Option to Extend Clause Samples
The "Option to Extend" clause grants one or both parties the right to prolong the duration of an agreement beyond its original term. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions under which the extension can be exercised, such as providing written notice within a specified timeframe or agreeing to certain terms for the extended period. Its core practical function is to provide flexibility and predictability, allowing parties to continue their relationship without renegotiating a new contract, thereby reducing uncertainty and administrative burden.

Option to Extend. Tenant shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to Landlord given not later than 180 days prior to the expiration of the then current Term, to extend the Term for five (5) years on the same terms and conditions as provided in this Lease (a “Lease Term Extension”). Tenant shall be granted two (2) Lease Term Extensions. If Tenant elects to make a Lease Term Extension, tenant acknowledges: (a) Landlord shall have no obligation to make any improvements to the Premises; (b) for each Lease Year during the extended Term, Base Rent for such extended Term shall be increased by three percent (3%) each Lease Year; and (c) there is no option to further extend the Term beyond the Lease Term Extension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an option to extend the Term may be deemed null and void in Landlord’s discretion, of which such determination shall be made reasonably and in good faith, and not unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, if, at the time Tenant exercises the option, if one or more of the following has occurred:
4.2.1. Tenant has been late in the payment of Rent, which resulted in written notice from Landlord on two (2) or more occasions within a single Lease Year, provided that, isolated or minimal delays of less than three (3) business days shall not be counted for purposes of this section;
4.2.2. Tenant has caused an Event of Default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, which Event of Default remains uncured after the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods, at the time Tenant exercises the option to extend or at the commencement of the extended Term;
4.2.3. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has failed to give written notice to Landlord at least one hundred (180) days prior to the expiration of the then current Term unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Landlord; or
4.2.4. Tenant has assigned its interest in and to this Lease without Landlord’s written approval, except as may be permitted under Section 15.
Option to Extend. Tenant shall have the option to extend this Lease for two (2) additional five (5) year term(s) (the "Option Terms") upon the same conditions applicable to the Primary Term. However, during each Option Term the rent for the first three (3) years shall be four percent (4%) over the rent payable in the year immediately preceding such Option Term, and the rent for the fourth and fifth years shall be three percent (3%) over the rent payable in the third year of such Option Term. Whenever the terms "Lease term" or "term of this Lease" are used in this Lease, they shall refer to the Primary Term and any Option Term for which Tenant has exercised its option to extend. Tenant may exercise any option to extend this Lease by giving notice in writing to Landlord not less than one hundred eighty (180) days before the expiration of the Primary Term or any prior Option Term, as the case may be. Landlord covenants and agrees to give Tenant written notice of the date by which such option must be exercised at least twenty (20) but not more than thirty (30) days prior to when such option needs to be exercised. Tenant shall not be entitled to exercise any option to extend this Lease if Landlord's notice was given as required but Tenant's notice is not given as required herein or if the Tenant is in default of this Lease pursuant to Section 21 hereof beyond any applicable notice and grace period, or if Tenant has been ten (10) or more days late in payment of its rent and has not cured such late payments within ten (10) days after written notice on more than three (3) occasions during any year of this Lease.
Option to Extend. Successful Respondent agrees that DIR may require continued performance under this Contract at the rates specified in this Contact following the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term. This option may be exercised more than once, but the total extension of performance hereunder shall not exceed ninety (90) calendar days. Such extension of services shall be subject to the requirements of the Contract, with the sole and limited exception that the original date of termination shall be extended pursuant to this provision. DIR may exercise this option upon thirty (30) calendar days written notice to the Successful Respondent.
Option to Extend. The first three sentences of Section 2.2 of the Original Lease, as amended, are deleted in their entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof: “Provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) and has not been in default in the payment of recurring monthly payments of Base Rent, AP Rent, Tenant’s Electricity Cost and/or Tenant’s Share of the Estimated Excess (beyond applicable notice and cure periods, as set forth in Section 19.1.1 of the Original Lease) under this Lease more than three (3) times in the prior twelve month period, at the time it exercises the option or at commencement of the applicable Option Term, Tenant shall have the right and option to extend this lease ("Option to Extend") with respect to the Original Premises only for one additional option period of three years ("Option Term") upon the same terms and conditions set forth in the Lease (as amended by this Third Amendment) except that the Base Rent shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 4 of the Summary (as amended by this Third Amendment). To exercise its Option to Extend, Tenant must give Landlord notice in writing sent so as to be received at least twelve (12) months but not more than eighteen (18) months prior to November 30, 2009. At Landlord’s election, Tenant's exercise of its Option to Extend shall be void and of no effect if Tenant is in default under this Lease (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) or has been in default in the payment of recurring monthly payments of Base Rent, AP Rent, Tenant’s Electricity Cost and/or Tenant’s Share of the Estimated Excess (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) under this Lease more than three times in the prior twelve month period on the date it exercises its Option(s) to Extend or on the expiration of the Lease Term or Option Term immediately preceding such Option Term, as applicable.”
Option to Extend. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, and upon written notice no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term of a Summary Equipment Schedule, Lessee will have the right to extend the Initial Term of such Summary Equipment Schedule for a period of one (1) year. In such event, the rent to be paid during said extended period shall be mutually agreed upon and if the parties cannot mutually agree, then the Summary Equipment Schedule shall continue in full force and effect pursuant to the existing terms and conditions until terminated in accordance with its terms. The Summary Equipment Schedule will continue in effect following said extended period until terminated by either party upon not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice, which notice shall be effective as of the date of receipt.
Option to Extend. A. Lessor hereby grants to Lessee the option to extend the term of this Lease for a Five 5) year period commencing when the prior term expires upon each and all of the following terms and conditions:
(i) Lessee gives to Lessor and Lessor receives written notice of the exercise of the option to extend this Lease for said additional term no earlier than nine months and no later than six months prior to the time that the option period would commence if the option were exercised, time being of the essence. If said notification of the exercise of said option is not so given and received, this option shall automatically expire;
(ii) The provisions of paragraph 39, including the provision relating to default of Lessee set forth in paragraph 39.4 of this Lease are conditions of this Option;
(iii) All of the terms and conditions of this Lease except where specifically modified by this option shall apply;
(iv) On January 1, 2007, the monthly rent payable under paragraph 1.5 and 4 of the attached Lease shall be adjusted by the increase, if any, from the date this Lease commenced in the C.P.I.

a. The monthly rent payable in accordance with paragraph A(iv) of this Addendum shall be calculated as follows: the rent payable for the first month of the term of this Lease, as set forth in paragraph 4 of the attached Lease, shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the C.P.I. of the calendar month immediately preceding the effective date of the subject rent escalation, and the denominator of which shall be the C.P.I. for the calendar month in which the original Lease term commenced. The sum so calculated shall constitute the new monthly rent hereunder, but, in no event, shall such new monthly rent be less than 103% of the rent payable for the month immediately preceding the date for rent adjustment.
b. In the event the compilation and/or publication of the C.P.I. shall be discontinued, then the index most nearly the same as the C.P.I. shall be used to make such calculation. In the event that Lessor and Lessee cannot agree on such alternative index, then the matter shall be submitted for decision to the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the rules of said association and the decis...
Option to Extend. Provided Tenant is not in default in its obligations hereunder beyond any applicable cure period, Tenant shall have the option to extend this Lease for one additional successive term (hereinafter referred to, as applicable, as the “Extended Term”) commencing immediately upon the expiration of the initial Term hereof and continuing for a period of five (5) years, provided that Tenant proceeds strictly in accordance with the provisions of this Article 35. On or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) prior to the Expiration Date for the Term (the “Notice Date”), Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing that Tenant wishes to extend the term of this Lease (hereinafter referred to as “Tenant’s Extension Notice”).

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.

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.

Upon expiration of the primary term of this Lease, Tenant is granted an option to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) additional sixty (60) month period, with the same terms and conditions as are included in this Lease, subject, however, to renegotiation of the rent provided in paragraph 4 of this Lease. The primary term and the extension terms will be collectively referred to in this Lease as the “term.” Tenant shall notify Landlord within not less than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the primary term of this Lease or prior to the expiration of each extension term of Tenant’s exercise of its option to extend this Lease, provided that in the circumstances described in paragraph 13, the options to extend the term may be exercised earlier as provided in paragraph 13, and if the option to extend is exercised earlier as provided in paragraph 13, nevertheless, the rental payable as provided in paragraph 4 shall be determined at the time and in the manner provided in paragraph 4 and this paragraph 3. During the following sixty (60) day period, Tenant and Landlord shall negotiate and arrive at an agreement or disagreement of the amount of rent to be paid during the applicable extension term. If Landlord and Tenant agree upon the rent to be paid during the applicable extension term, Landlord and Tenant shall at the end of the sixty (60) day period enter into a new written lease or an amendment agreement setting forth the amount of rental Tenant shall be required to pay pursuant paragraph 4 for the applicable extension term and any other additional terms to which Landlord and Tenant have agreed. If Tenant and Landlord fail to agree upon the rent to be paid during the applicable extension term during the sixty (60) day period of negotiations, a fair market appraisal comparison of comparable properties will be completed by an independent party upon which the Landlord and Tenant may use to negotiate the amount of rent to be paid during the applicable extension term. If Tenant and Landlord fail to agree upon the rent to be paid during the applicable extension term during the sixty (60) day period of negotiations, either Landlord or Tenant may, by written notice to the other party given within the ensuing thirty (30) day period, elect to invoke the arbitration provisions of this Lease to determine the rent Tenant shall be required to pay pursuant to paragraph 4 for the applicable extension term.
