Tenant will have no renewal option beyond the aforesaid two 60-month periods. (a) The Base Rent during each Renewal Term for the Premises will be at a rate equal to the then Fair Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit H), as determined by Landlord, and for a term equal or comparable to such Renewal Term. Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes and Expenses will continue during the Renewal Terms. Tenant’s obligation to pay any Monthly Existing Gen Replacement Amortization pursuant to Section 46 will continue during the Renewal Terms. (b) If Tenant exercises a Renewal Option, Landlord will grant to Tenant a leasehold improvement allowance equal to the Fair Market Allowance (as defined in Exhibit H), as determined by Landlord, which Tenant may apply toward Tenant’s leasehold improvements (upon which Landlord and Tenant must mutually agree) to the Premises. All costs of such leasehold improvements in excess of such allowance will be borne by Tenant. Such leasehold improvements will be performed by Tenant, and such allowance will be disbursed by Landlord, subject and pursuant to Landlord’s then standard form of work letter under which Tenant performs the work using an allowance, which work letter will be prepared by Landlord and substantially comparable to the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit D (excluding the Additional Allowance, and except that Tenant’s work will not include common area improvements). Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 44, Tenant will be deemed to have accepted the renewed Premises in “as-is” condition as of the commencement of the Renewal Term, and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 44, Landlord will have no additional obligation to improve, renovate or remodel the Premises or any portion of the Building or provide any allowance therefor as a result of Tenant’s exercise of its Renewal Option.

Within 30 days thereafter, Landlord will notify Tenant (“Landlord’s Renewal Notice”) of Landlord’s calculation of the Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Allowance for the Premises, which calculation will reflect the market rate that would be payable per annum for a term commencing on the first day of the first Renewal Term. If Tenant fails to give its initial nonbinding notice when due as provided in this Section 44(c), then both Renewal Options will be null and void. For purposes hereof, the “Renewal Exercise Deadline” for the first Renewal Option means the date that is 12 months before the Expiration Date of the initial Term; and for the second Renewal Option means the date that is 12 months before the Expiration Date of the first Renewal Term.
