In addition to its ROFO Rights with respect to contiguous space on the fourth floor of the Building as set forth in Section 36 of the Lease (the “4th Floor ROFO Rights”), Lessee, provided it is not then in default after notice and the expiration of any applicable grace or cure periods, and further provided it shall not have defaulted beyond any applicable notice, grace and cure periods more than twice within any twelve (12) month period, is hereby entitled, fully subject and subordinate to any existing expansion rights held by other tenant’s in the Building, to receive advance written notice from LESSOR during the Term of this Lease (as it may be extended) that any contiguous space on the second (2nd) floor (only) of the Building (the “ROFO Space”) will be offered to third parties for leasing (the “ROFO Notice”). The Lessor’s ROFO Notice to Lessee shall set forth the Annual Base Rent and other economic terms at which such space will be so offered, which shall be at Market Rent (as defined below) and incorporating market concessions and market tenant improvement allowances) as determined by Lessor and stated in the ROFO Notice (subject to Lessee’s rights to appraisal and arbitration of Market Rent as set forth below). Lessee shall have the right within thirty (30) days from the delivery of Lessor’s ROFO Notice (the “ROFO Acceptance Period”), to elect to lease the ROFO Space by providing Lessor with a written notice accepting the ROFO Space (the “ROFO Acceptance”) delivered prior to the expiration of said thirty (30) day period. If Lessee shall not elect to lease the ROFO Space, i.e. if no ROFO Acceptance notice electing to do so is delivered to Lessor during that thirty (30) day period, then Lessor shall be free to market and lease the space offered by the ROFO Notice to any third party, in its sole discretion and without any continuing obligation to Lessee under this Section 8; provided however that if Lessor does not enter into a lease with a thirty party within three hundred sixty (360) days from the delivery of the ROFO Notice (the “Reoffer Period”), or is not then engaged in any pending lease negotiations with a third party as of the expiration of said Reoffer Period, then Lessor shall be required to re-offer the space to Lessee pursuant to this Section 8. Once delivered to Lessor, Lessee’s election to accept the ROFO Space shall be irrevocable, notwithstanding the determination of Market Rent as contemplated below. Time is of the essence in the exercise of Lessee’s rights as set forth above. If Lessee elects to exercise its rights to the ROFO Space (and/or for the 4th Floor ROFO Space), then the Term for such space will start as stated in the ROFO Notice, and shall be for a term coterminous with the Term (as it may have been extended) governing the Leased Premises but not less than three (3) years (including the Second Extension Term, if there is less than three years left in the First Extended Term and Lessee agrees to exercise its option for the Second Extension Period, unless a longer term is requested by Lessee and agreed to by Lessor. To the extent Lessee disagrees with the Lessor’s determination of Market Rent as set forth in the ROFO Notice, then within the ROFO Acceptance Period, Lessee may: (i) negotiate a Market Rent and other terms and conditions mutually agreeable to Lessor and Lessee, or failing to reach agreement with Lessor; (ii) elect to determine Market Rent by an appraisal and arbitration process as set forth in Section 9 of this First Amendment, communicated to the Lessor in the Lessee’s ROFO Acceptance (which, if not elected in said ROFO Acceptance, shall be deemed waived by Lessee). That process will be commenced by the selection of the contemplated appraiser by each party within fourteen (14) days of the delivery of the ROFO Acceptance notice, bypassing the requirement for good faith negotiations (which can occur but which are not required to occur). Additionally, the Extension Rent Floor concept shall not be applicable to the ROFO Space (except during the determinations of Annual Base Rent for the Second Extension Period), but instead Annual Base Rent for such ROFO Space during and up to the First Extension Termination Date shall not be less than Annual Base Rent per rentable square foot for the highest rent for other Leased Premises space under this Lease during such time.
