Termination Option Provided Tenant is the originally named Tenant, Tenant is neither in monetary default of this Lease on the Termination Date (as defined below) nor has there previously been an Event of Monetary Default, and this Lease is in full force and effect, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective at 11:59 p.m. on the Termination Date, in accordance with and subject to each of the following terms and conditions (“Termination Option”). The “Termination Date” shall mean the last day of the 40th full calendar month after the Commencement Date. If Tenant desires to exercise the Termination Option, Tenant shall give to Landlord irrevocable written notice of Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option (“Termination Notice”), together with the Termination Payment (as defined below). The Termination Notice and the Termination Payment shall be received by Landlord no later than the date that is 9 months prior to the Termination Date, failing which the Termination Option shall be deemed waived (provided Landlord reserves the right to waive in writing the requirement that Tenant fully and/or timely pay the Termination Payment). The “Termination Payment” shall equal the sum of: (A) the unamortized (amortized on a straight-line basis with interest at 10%): (i) brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees paid by Landlord in connection with this Lease; (ii) rent concessions; and (iii) total cost incurred by Landlord for improvements, including the Leasehold Improvements, to the Premises in connection with this Lease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Termination Payment is not a penalty and is fair and reasonable compensation to Landlord for the loss of expected rentals from Tenant. The Termination Payment shall be payable by wire transfer or cashier’s check. Time is of the essence with respect to the dates and deadlines set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time during the period on or after the date of the Termination Notice, up to and including the Termination Date, Tenant shall be in default of this Lease, then Landlord may elect, but is not obligated, by written notice to Tenant to cancel and declare null and void Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option, in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect for the full Term unaffected by Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option. If Tenant timely and properly exercises the Termination Option in accordance with this paragraph and Landlord has not negated the effectiveness of Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option pursuant to the preceding sentence, this Lease and the Term shall come to an end on the Termination Date with the same force and effect as if the Term were fixed to expire on such date, the Expiration Date shall be the Termination Date, and the terms and provisions of Section 18 shall apply.
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.
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.
Renewal Option This Contract may be renewed under the same terms and conditions, subject to the approval of the Commissioner of the Department of Administration and the State Budget Director in compliance with IC § 5-22-17-4. The term of the renewed contract may not be longer than the term of the original Contract.
Termination Option Event The term “
Early Termination Option Provided that there is no Event of Default as of the date that Tenant delivers the Early Termination Notice and on the Early Termination Date (each, as hereinafter defined), Tenant shall have a one-time option to terminate this Lease (“Termination Option”) effective as of the last day of the sixty-ninth (69th) month of the Term (“Early Termination Date”), subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) Tenant shall give Landlord prior written notice (“Early Termination Notice”) of its intention to exercise the Termination Option not less than 365 days prior to the Early Termination Date (“Termination Notice Date”). If such Termination Option is validly exercised, the Lease shall terminate as of the Early Termination Date. If Tenant fails to deliver the Early Termination Notice to Landlord within the time period prescribed by this paragraph, then Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived the Termination Option and the Termination Option shall be null and void.
(b) At the time of giving the Early Termination Notice, as consideration for its exercise of the Termination Option, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee (the “Early Termination Fee”) in an amount equal to the unamortized portion of the following costs (“Costs”): (i) all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements (including, but not limited to, all hard and soft costs, including architects’, engineers’ and other design professionals’ fees); (ii) all commissions paid by Landlord to Landlord’s Broker and the Tenant’s Broker; and (iii) all other costs incurred by Landlord in connection with this Lease, including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses and permitting fees and expenses. For purposes of this Section, the Costs shall be amortized over the initial Term of the Lease at an interest rate of nine percent (9%) per annum. Following the Commencement Date, within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s request, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a calculation of the Costs and an amortization schedule of same.
(c) The Early Termination Fee shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord via certified check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Landlord at the time that Tenant delivers the Early Termination Notice as prescribed herein. If Tenant delivers the Early Termination Notice but fails to deliver the Early Termination Fee as prescribed hereby, then the Early Termination Notice shall be null and void and Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived the Termination Option and the Termination Option shall be null and void.
(d) Notwithstanding Tenant’s delivery of the Early Termination Notice and payment of the Early Termination Fee, Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent through the Early Termination Date. Tenant acknowledges that the Early Termination Fee is consideration for Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option and, therefore, shall not be credited against Rent due through the Early Termination Date.
(e) If Tenant validly exercises its Termination Option: (i) on or prior to the Early Termination Date, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises in the condition required by the terms of this Lease; and (ii) the Lease shall terminate as of the Early Termination Date, as if such Early Termination Date were the date originally stipulated for the expiration of the Term; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve either Landlord or Tenant of any obligations of such party which accrued hereunder prior to the Early Termination Date and that survive the termination or expiration of the Lease.
Lessor Termination Option If a Hazardous Substance Condition occurs during the term of this Lease, unless Lessee is legally responsible therefor (in which case Lessee shall make the investigation and remediation thereof required by the Applicable Requirements and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but subject to Lessor's rights under Paragraph 6.2(d) and Paragraph 13), Lessor may, at Lessor's option, either (i) investigate and remediate such Hazardous Substance Condition, if required, as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (ii) if the estimated cost to remediate such condition exceeds twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater, give written notice to Lessee, within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor of knowledge of the occurrence of such Hazardous Substance Condition, of Lessor's desire to terminate this Lease as of the date sixty (60) days following the date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to give a termination notice, Lessee may, within ten (10) days thereafter, give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay the amount by which the cost of the remediation of such Hazardous Substance Condition exceeds an amount equal to twelve (12) times the then monthly Base Rent or $100,000, whichever is greater. Lessee shall provide Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days following such commitment. In such event, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such remediation as soon as reasonably possible after the required funds are available. If Lessee does not give such notice and provide the required funds or assurance thereof within the time provided, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.
Extension Options Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6.1, Borrower shall have the option (the “First Extension Option”), by irrevocable written notice (the “First Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date, to extend the Maturity Date to August 31, 2022 (the “First Extended Maturity Date”). Borrower’s right to so extend the Maturity Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent prior to the effectiveness of any such extension:
(a) (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date Borrower delivers the First Extension Notice or the Second Extension Notice, as applicable, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Stated Maturity Date and the First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable;
(b) All amounts due and payable by Borrower and any other Person pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as of the Stated Maturity Date or the First Maturity Date, as applicable, and all costs and expenses of Lender, including fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel, in connection with the Loan and/or the extension shall have been paid in full;
(c) Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to Lender (i) certifying that all representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement remain true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Option, and (ii) waiving any claims, counterclaims, rights of rescission, set-offs or defenses, known or unknown, against Lender as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Option. If Borrower is unable to satisfy all of the foregoing conditions within the applicable time frames for each, Lender shall have no obligation to extend the Stated Maturity Date hereunder.
Conversion/Continuation Option (a) The Borrower may elect (i) on any Business Day to convert Prime Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans) or any portion thereof to BA Rate Loans, or (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to convert BA Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Prime Rate Loans or to continue such BA Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the BA Rate Loans for each Interest Period must be in the amount of $3,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion.
(b) Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice specifying (i) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (ii) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of BA Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period, and (iii) in the case of a conversion, the date of conversion (which date shall be a Business Day and, if a conversion from BA Rate Loans, shall also be the last day of the applicable Interest Period). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Prime Rate Loans to BA Rate Loans, and no continuation in whole or in part of BA Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, shall be permitted at any time at which (A) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) the continuation of, or conversion into, would violate any of the provisions of Section 2.14.
(d) If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Loan that is a BA Rate Loan for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loan, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loan will be automatically converted to a Prime Rate Loan.
(e) Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.
Renewal Options a. Tenant shall have the right and option to renew the Lease (“Renewal Option”) for two (2) successive renewal periods of five (5) years each (each, an “Option Term”); provided, however, the Renewal Option is contingent upon the following: (i) there is not an Event of Default beyond all applicable cure period(s) at the time Tenant gives Landlord notice of Tenant’s intention to exercise the Renewal Option or at the expiration of the current Term; (ii) no event has occurred that upon notice or the passage of time would constitute an Event of Default, unless Landlord has given notice of default and Tenant is diligently attempting to cure such event; and (iii) Tenant is occupying the Premises. Following expiration of the final Option Term allowable hereunder, Tenant shall have no further right to renew the Lease pursuant to this Section 5.
b. Tenant shall exercise the Renewal Option by giving Landlord notice at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the current Term. If Tenant fails to give notice to Landlord prior to the 180-day period, then Tenant shall forfeit the Renewal Option. If Tenant exercises the Renewal Option, then during the Option Term, Landlord and Tenant’s respective rights, duties and obligations shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Lease, except as provided otherwise in this Section. Time is of the essence in exercising the Renewal Option.
c. The Base Rental for an Option Term shall be the Fair Market Rental Rate. “Fair Market Rental Rate” shall mean the market rental rate for the time period such determination is being made for office space in same class office buildings in the area of Murfreesboro, Tennessee (the “Area”) of comparable condition for space of equivalent quality, size, utility, and location. Such determination shall take into account all relevant factors, including, without limitation, the following matters: the credit standing of Tenant; the length of the term; the fact that Landlord will experience no vacancy period and that Tenant will not suffer the costs and business interruption associated with moving its offices and negotiating a new lease; construction allowances and other tenant concessions that would be available to tenants comparable to Tenant in the Area (such as moving expense allowance, free rent periods, and lease assumptions and take over provisions, if any, but specifically excluding the value of improvements installed in the Premises at Tenant’s cost), and whether adjustments are then being made in determining the rental rates for renewals in the Area because of concessions being offered by Landlord to Tenant (or the lack thereof for the Option Term in question). For purposes of such calculation, it will only be assumed that Landlord is paying a representative of Tenant a brokerage commission in connection with the Option Term in question if Landlord is in fact paying a brokerage commission to a representative of Tenant in connection with the applicable Option Term.
