OPTION TO RENEW Provided Tenant is not, and has not been (more than two (2) times), in default under any of the terms and conditions contained herein, Tenant shall have two (2) additional consecutive five (5) year options to renew and extend the Rental Term as provided herein (“Option”). The Option shall only be exercised by Tenant delivering written notice thereof to Landlord no earlier than the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Rental Term and no later than the date which is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Rental Term (the “Option Notice”). The Base Monthly Rent during the first year of each extension periods shall be the lesser of: (i) the then current Fair Market Rate (as defined) for comparable space within the Project, and (ii) the Base Monthly Rent then in effect for the Leased Premises during the last month of the initial Rental Term (increasing each year thereafter by 3%, compounded). “Fair Market Rate” means the market rate for rent chargeable for the Leased Premises based upon the following factors applicable to the Leased Premises or any comparable premises: rent, escalation, term, size, expense stop, tenant allowance, existing tenant finishes, parking availability, and location and proximity to services. Within thirty (30) days of Option Notice, Tenant shall notify Landlord of Tenant’s option of Fair Market Rate for the applicable renewal period. If Landlord disagrees with Tenant’s opinion of the Fair Market Rate, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s opinion of Fair Market Rate within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s opinion of Fair Market Rate (“Landlord’s Value Notice”). If the parties are unable to resolve their differences within thirty (30) days thereafter, Landlord or Tenant, at its sole option, may terminate this Lease, effective as of the last day of the then-current Rental Term. Alternatively, Tenant and Landlord may mutually agree to submit the determination of Fair Market Rate to a “Market Assessment Process,” as provided in Exhibit “F” – Market Assessment Process.
Option to Lease The Receiver hereby grants to the Assuming Institution an exclusive option for the period of ninety (90) days commencing the day after Bank Closing to cause the Receiver to assign to the Assuming Institution any or all leases for leased Bank Premises, if any, which have been continuously occupied by the Assuming Institution from Bank Closing to the date it elects to accept an assignment of the leases with respect thereto to the extent such leases can be assigned; provided, that the exercise of this option with respect to any lease must be as to all premises or other property subject to the lease. If an assignment cannot be made of any such leases, the Receiver may, in its discretion, enter into subleases with the Assuming Institution containing the same terms and conditions provided under such existing leases for such leased Bank Premises or other property. The Assuming Institution shall give notice to the Receiver within the option period of its election to accept or not to accept an assignment of any or all leases (or enter into subleases or new leases in lieu thereof). The Assuming Institution agrees to assume all leases assigned (or enter into subleases or new leases in lieu thereof) pursuant to this Section 4.6. If the Assuming Institution gives notice of its election not to accept an assignment of a lease for one or more of the leased Bank Premises within seven (7) days of Bank Closing, then, not withstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Assuming Institution shall not be liable for any of the costs or fees associated with appraisals for the Fixtures, Furniture and Equipment located on such leased Bank Premises.
Agreement to Lease Landlord agrees to lease to Tenant and Tenant agrees to lease from Landlord, according to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Premises.
Right to Lease Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Project as Landlord in the exercise of its sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Building or Project. Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that any specific tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Lease Term, occupy any space in the Building or Project.
Option to Extend Lease Term Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option ("Option") to extend the Lease Term with respect to the Premises on the following terms and conditions:
(a) The Option shall give Tenant the right to extend the Lease Term for an additional ten (10) years (the "Extended Term");
(b) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of its exercise of the Option no later than one hundred eighty (180)days, nor earlier than three hundred sixty (360), prior to the Termination Date;
(c) Tenant may not extend the Lease Term pursuant to this Section 3.4 if Tenant is in default in the performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease and/or the Other Lease, which default continues after the expiration of any grace period and the giving of any notice, as provided in Article 16 below or in the Other Lease. Any notice of exercise of the Option given by Tenant while Tenant is in default shall be of no force and effect. The period of exercise of the Option shall not be extended for any period in which Tenant is unable to exercise an Option by reason of Tenant's default. If Tenant is in default on the date that the Extended Term is to commence, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 16.2.1, notwithstanding any notice given by Tenant of the exercise of the Option.
(d) All terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply during the Extended Term, except that Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be determined in accordance with Section 5.1.2 below;
(e) Once Tenant delivers notice of its exercise of the Option, Tenant may not withdraw such exercise and, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4, such notice shall operate to extend the Lease Term. Upon the extension of the Lease Term pursuant to this Section 3.4, the term "Lease Term" as used in this Lease shall thereafter include the Extended Term and the Termination Date shall be the expiration date of the Extended Term.
Option to Extend (a) Provided that the Tenant is not then in default of its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable cure or grace period, the Landlord shall at the expiration of the Term, provided the Tenant has given the Landlord notice of its exercise of the option to extend at least twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Term, extend the Term for a further term of five (5) years (the “First Extension Term”) from the expiration of the Term, upon the same terms and conditions contained in this Lease except extension options and the Annual Base Rent to be paid during the First Extension Term.
(b) Provided that the Tenant is not then in default of its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable cure or grace period, the Landlord shall at the expiration of the First Extension Term, provided the Tenant has given the Landlord notice of its exercise of the option to extend at least twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the First Extension Term, extend the First Extension Term for a further term of five (5) years (the “Second Extension Term”) from the expiration of the Term, upon the same terms and conditions contained in this Lease except extension options and the Annual Base Rent to be paid during the Second Extension Term.
(c) The Annual Base Rent during any Extension Term shall be the Current Market Rent for the Premises. If the Landlord and the Tenant have not mutually agreed on the amount of the Annual Base Rent at least three (3) months prior to the commencement of such Extension Term, then Annual Base Rent shall be decided in the manner set out in Section 3.3. Until the Annual Base Rent has been determined, the Tenant shall pay the monthly Rent requested by the Landlord and, upon the determination of the Annual Base Rent, the Landlord and the Tenant shall make the appropriate adjustments together with interest at the Prime Rate.
Amendment to Lease If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to lease the Availability Premises or any portion thereof as set forth herein, then, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment adding such Availability Premises to this Lease upon the same terms and conditions as the Initial Premises, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.4 or the Availability Notice, and provided that the terms of the Tenant Work Letter shall not apply with respect to the Availability Premises (except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4.5, above); provided, however, an otherwise valid exercise of Tenant’s right of availability shall be of full force and effect irrespective of whether such amendment is ever signed by Landlord and Tenant. Except to the extent inconsistent with the determination of Availability Premises Rent, all provisions of the Lease which vary based upon the rentable and usable square footage of the Premises shall be adjusted to reflect the addition of such Availability Premises to the Premises; provided, however, the L-C Amount shall be increased pursuant to the terms of Section 21.7 of this Lease, below. The rentable square footage of such Availability Premises shall be determined in accordance with the terms of Section 1.2 of this Lease. To the extent Tenant exercises its right of first offer with respect to any portion of the Availability Premises during the first (1st) year after the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall commence payment of Availability Premises Rent and Excess as to such space to Landlord upon that date (the “Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date”) which is two hundred ten (210) days after the later of the delivery date set forth in the Availability Notice and the date Landlord delivers the Availability Premises in the Delivery Condition (the “Availability Premises Lease Commencement Date”). To the extent Tenant exercises its right of availability with respect to any portion of the Availability Premises anytime after the first (1st) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, the Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date shall occur one hundred eighty (180) days after the Availability Premises Lease Commencement Date. In all cases, the lease term of the Availability Premises (or any portion thereof) shall expire on the Lease Expiration Date, subject to extension of this Lease; provided, however, in the event the remaining Lease Term is less than thirty-six (36) months from the applicable Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date, then the Lease Term shall be extended for a period of time sufficient for Tenant’s lease of the Premises to be coterminous with Tenant’s lease of the Availability Premises (which shall be thirty-six (36) months from the applicable Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date), and the base rental rate for the Premises during this extended period shall be adjusted to Market Rent for the Premises determined in accordance with Section 2.2.4 and the Base Year shall be the year in which the Lease would have otherwise expired (if on or before July 31) or the following year (if after July 31). This extension shall have no impact on Tenant’s extension rights hereunder, which may be exercised at the end of the extended Lease Term. This Lease shall commence as to the Availability Premises (and references to Premises shall include the applicable Availability Premises) on the Availability Premises Lease Commencement Date.
Option to Extend Term Tenant shall have the option (“Option”) to extend the Term by five (5) years as to the entire Premises (and no less than the entire Premises) upon the following terms and conditions. Any extension of the Term pursuant to the Option shall be on all the same terms and conditions as this Lease, except as follows:
42.1. Base Rent during the Option term (including annual escalations, if applicable) shall equal the then-current fair market value for comparable office and laboratory space in the Xxxxxx Xxxxx submarket of comparable age, quality, level of finish and proximity to amenities and public transit (“FMV”). Tenant may, no more than twelve (12) months prior to the date the Term is then scheduled to expire, request Landlord’s estimate of the FMV for the Option term. Landlord shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such request, give Tenant a written proposal of such FMV. If Tenant gives written notice to exercise the Option, such notice shall specify whether Tenant accepts Landlord’s proposed estimate of FMV. If Tenant does not accept the FMV, then the parties shall endeavor to agree upon the FMV, taking into account all relevant factors, including (a) the size of the Premises, (b) the length of the Option term, (c) rent in comparable buildings in the relevant submarket, including concessions offered to new tenants, such as free rent, tenant improvement allowances and moving allowances, (d) Tenant’s creditworthiness and (e) the quality and location of the Building and the Project. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon the FMV within thirty (30) days after Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant is exercising the Option, then either party may request that the same be determined as follows: a senior officer of a nationally recognized leasing brokerage firm with local knowledge of the Xxxxxx Xxxxx laboratory/research and development leasing submarket (the “Baseball Arbitrator”) shall be selected and paid for jointly by Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Baseball Arbitrator, then the same shall be designated by the local chapter of the American Arbitration Association or any successor organization thereto (the “AAA”). The Baseball Arbitrator selected by the parties or designated by the AAA shall (y) have at least ten (10) years’ experience in the leasing of laboratory/research and development space in the Xxxxxx Xxxxx submarket and (z) not have been employed or retained by either Landlord or Tenant or any affiliate of either for a period of at least ten (10) years prior to appointment pursuant hereto. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall submit to the Baseball Arbitrator and to the other party its determination of the FMV. The Baseball Arbitrator shall grant to Landlord and Tenant a hearing and the right to submit evidence. The Baseball Arbitrator shall determine which of the two (2) FMV determinations more closely represents the actual FMV. The arbitrator may not select any other FMV for the Premises other than one submitted by Landlord or Tenant. The FMV selected by the Baseball Arbitrator shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and shall serve as the basis for determination of Base Rent payable for the Option term. If, as of the commencement date of the Option term, the amount of Base Rent payable during the Option term shall not have been determined, then, pending such determination, Tenant shall pay Base Rent equal to the Base Rent payable with respect to the last year of the then-current Term. After the final determination of Base Rent payable for the Option term, the parties shall promptly execute a written amendment to this Lease specifying the amount of Base Rent to be paid during the Option term. Any failure of the parties to execute such amendment shall not affect the validity of the FMV determined pursuant to this Section.
42.2. The Option is not assignable separate and apart from this Lease.
42.3. The Option is conditional upon Tenant giving Landlord written notice of its election to exercise the Option on or before the date that is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then-current Term (such date, the “Option Date”). Time shall be of the essence as to Tenant’s exercise of the Option. Tenant assumes full responsibility for maintaining a record of the deadlines to exercise the Option. Tenant acknowledges that it would be inequitable to require Landlord to accept any exercise of the Option after the date provided for in this Section.
42.4. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article to the contrary, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise the Option:
(a) During the time commencing from the date Landlord delivers to Tenant a written notice that Tenant is in default under any provisions of this Lease and continuing until Tenant has cured the specified default to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction; or
(b) At any time after any Default as described in Article 31 of the Lease and continuing until Tenant cures any such Default, if such Default is susceptible to being cured; or
(c) In the event that Tenant has defaulted in the performance of its obligations under this Lease two (2) or more times and a service or late charge has become payable under Section 31.1 for each of such defaults during the twelve (12)-month period immediately prior to the date that Tenant intends to exercise the Option, whether or not Tenant has cured such defaults.
42.5. The period of time within which Tenant may exercise the Option shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise such Option because of the provisions of Section 42.4.
42.6. All of Tenant’s rights under the provisions of the Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant’s due and timely exercise of the Option if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of the new term, (a) Tenant fails to pay to Landlord a monetary obligation of Tenant for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant, (b) Tenant fails to commence to cure a default (other than a monetary default) within thirty (30) days after the date Landlord gives notice to Tenant of such default or (c) Tenant has defaulted under this Lease two (2) or more times and a service or late charge under Section 31.1 has become payable for any such default, whether or not Tenant has cured such defaults.
