Construction In First Offer Space Tenant shall take the First Offer Space in its “as is” condition, subject to any improvement allowance granted as a component of the Fair Rental Value, and the construction of improvements in the First Offer Space shall comply with the terms of Article 8 of this Lease.
Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, in the event Tenant contemplates a Transfer other than to a Permitted Transferee which, together with all prior Transfers then remaining in effect, would cause fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises to be Transferred for more than fifty percent (50%) of the then remaining Lease Term (taking into account any extension of the Lease Term which has irrevocably exercised by Tenant), Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the “Intention to Transfer Notice”) of such contemplated Transfer (whether or not the contemplated Transferee or the terms of such contemplated Transfer have been determined). The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of and amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to Transfer in the subject Transfer (the “Contemplated Transfer Space”), the contemplated date of commencement of the Contemplated Transfer (the “Contemplated Effective Date”), and the contemplated length of the term of such contemplated Transfer. Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Intention to Transfer Notice, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Such recapture shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such Contemplated Transfer Space as of the Contemplated Effective Date. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner, to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space under this Section 14.4, then, subject to the other terms of this Article 14, for a period of nine (9) months (the “Nine Month Period”) commencing on the last day of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not have any right to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any Transfer made during the Nine Month Period, provided that any such Transfer is substantially on the terms set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice, and provided further that any such Transfer shall be subject to the remaining terms of this Article 14. If such a Transfer is not so consummated within the Nine Month Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any Transfer of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such Nine Month Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect any contemplated Transfer, as provided above in this Section 14.4. Tenant shall not be required to provide a separate Intention to Transfer Notice and Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to a Transfer shall satisfy Tenant’s obligations in this Section 14.4.
Right of First Refusal to Purchase TENANT shall have the right of first refusal to purchase the demised premises as hereinafter set forth. If at any time during the term as extended, LANDLORD shall receive a bona fide offer from a third person for the purchase of the demised premises, which offer LANDLORD shall desire to accept, LANDLORD shall promptly deliver to TENANT a copy of such offer, and TENANT may, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, elect to purchase the demised premises on the same terms as those set forth in such offer, excepting that TENANT shall be credited against the purchase price to be paid by TENANT, with a sum equal to the amount of any brokerage commissions, if any, which LANDLORD shall save by a sale to TENANT. If LANDLORD shall receive an offer for the purchase of the demised premises, which is not consummated by delivering a deed to the offerer, the TENANT'S right of first refusal to purchase shall remain applicable to subsequent offers. If LANDLORD shall sell the demised premises after a failure of TENANT to exercise its right of first refusal, such shall be subject to the Lease and shall continue to be applicable to subsequent sales of the demised premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TENANT'S right of first refusal shall not apply or extend to any sales or transfers between LANDLORD and any affiliates in which the principals of the LANDLORD are the majority shareholders to any family trusts or to the heirs of the principals of LANDLORD. LANDLORD shall be entitled to net the same amount under any right of first refusal exercise.
CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD Landlord reserves the following rights:
Time of the Essence in This Tenant Work Letter Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to a “number of days” shall mean and refer to calendar days. If any item requiring approval is timely disapproved by Landlord, the procedure for preparation of the document and approval thereof shall be repeated until the document is approved by Landlord.
Right of First Offer to Purchase If Landlord intends to sell the Property during the Lease Term, and provided no Event of Default then exists, Tenant shall have a right of first offer to purchase the Property ("Tenant's Right of First Offer to Purchase") on the terms and conditions at which Landlord proposes to sell the Property to a third party. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its intent to sell and shall indicate the terms and conditions (including the sale price) upon which Landlord intends to sell the Property to a third party. Tenant shall thereafter have sixty (60) days to elect in writing to purchase the Property and execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement with respect thereto and shall have an additional fifty (50) days to close on the acquisition of the Property on the terms and conditions set forth in the notice provided by Landlord to Tenant; provided that prior to the execution of a binding purchase and sale agreement, Landlord shall retain the right to elect not to sell the Property. If Tenant does not elect to purchase the Property, then Landlord shall be free to sell the Property to a third party. However, if the price at which Landlord intends to sell the Property to a third party is less than 95% of the price set forth in the notice provided by Landlord to Tenant, then Landlord shall again offer Tenant the right to acquire the Property upon the same terms and conditions, provided that Tenant shall have only thirty (30) days thereafter to complete the acquisition at such price, terms and conditions.
RIGHT TO SHOW PREMISES Lessor may show the Premises to prospective purchasers and mortgagees; and during the twelve (12) months prior to termination of this Lease, to prospective tenants, during Building Hours on reasonable notice to Lessee.
Termination of Right of First Offer Subject to the following provisions of this Section C, the rights of Tenant hereunder with respect to the Offering Space shall terminate on the earlier to occur of: (i) Tenant’s failure to exercise its Right of First Offer within the seven (7)-day period provided in Section A above; and (iii) the date Landlord would have provided Tenant an ROFO Advice if Tenant had not been in violation of one or more of the conditions set forth in Section A above. If Tenant does not timely exercise its Right of First Offer pursuant to this Section VII, Tenant shall have no further right to lease the Offering Space pursuant to this Section VII, except that (x) before Landlord makes or accepts an offer to lease such Offering Space to a bona fide prospect at an Annual Fixed Rent less than 95% of that set forth in the most recently delivered ROFO Advice or (y) if Landlord has not entered into a lease for such Offering Space within three (3) months after the date (the “Refusal Date”) on which Tenant elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to exercise its right to lease such Offering Space pursuant to the most recently delivered ROFO Advice, then, in either such case, Landlord shall again offer to lease such Offering Space to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Section VII, and the terms of this Section VII shall continue to apply to such Offering Space, except that Tenant shall have three (3) Business Days to respond to such offer in the event of a re-offer pursuant to clause (x) above (but Tenant shall have seven (7) days to respond to any re-offer pursuant to clause (y) above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after any applicable Refusal Date, Landlord enters into a letter of intent to lease such Offering Space and gives Tenant written notice thereof identifying the other party to such letter of intent (the “Deal Notice”), then Landlord shall have one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the Deal Notice to enter into a lease with the bona fide prospect identified in the Deal Notice before Tenant’s Right of First Offer with respect to such Offering Space shall re-accrue under clause (y) above (but this shall not affect any potential re-accrual of such right under clause (x) above). After Landlord has leased the Offering Space to a third party in accordance with the provisions of this Section VII, Tenant shall have no further right to lease such Offering Space pursuant to this Section VII.
Expiration and Extension of the Offer The Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at one minute following 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 20th business day following the Offer Commencement Date, determined as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company) (such date or such subsequent date to which the expiration of the Offer is extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”). Subject to the Parties’ respective termination rights under Section 8.1: (i) if, as of the scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, Purchaser may, in its discretion (and without the consent of the Company or any other Person), extend the Offer on one or more occasions, for an additional period of up to ten business days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied; (ii) Purchaser shall extend the Offer from time to time for: (A) any period required by any Legal Requirement, any interpretation or position of the SEC, the staff thereof or Nasdaq applicable to the Offer; and (B) periods of up to ten business days per extension, until the Regulatory Condition has been satisfied; and (iii) if, as of the scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, Purchaser shall, at the request of the Company, extend the Offer on one or more occasions for an additional period of up to ten business days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied; provided, that in no event shall Purchaser: (1) be required to extend the Offer beyond the earlier to occur of (the “Extension Deadline”) (x) the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1 and (y) the first business day immediately following the End Date; or (2) be permitted to extend the Offer beyond the Extension Deadline without the prior written consent of the Company. Purchaser shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Date without the prior written consent of the Company except in the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.1.
Extension Terms Sublessee shall have two (2) successive options (each, an “Extension Option”) to extend the Term for periods of five (5) years each (each, an “Extension Term”), the first of which Extension Term shall commence on the termination date of the Base Term, and the second of which shall commence on the day immediately following the expiration of the first Extension Term, said Extended Terms to be on the same terms and conditions as the Lease except that (i) the Lease shall contain no further options to extend after the expiration of the second Extension Term, and (ii) the Fixed Rental Rate applicable to each Extension Term shall be computed as set forth below and not be subject to annual adjustment as provided in the reference data. Sublessee shall provide written notice (“Sublessee’s Extension Notice”) to Sublessor of its determination to exercise each such Extension Option no later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term (“Notice Date”). The Fixed Rental Rate for each Extension Term shall be 90% of the fair market rental rate (the “Extension Rental Rate”) for the Leased Premises, which is defined as the then prevailing fair market net rental rate for office and warehouse space at comparable property in the Portsmouth and Dover, NH markets assuming no adjustment thereto during the applicable Extension Term and no free rent period or tenant improvement allowances, excluding the value of any Alterations or other improvements made to the Premises that were paid for by Sublessee and taking into consideration factors such as (i) the percentage of the Building occupied by Sublessee, (ii) Sublessee’s obligation to pay Expenses as provided herein, and (iii) any other relevant factors either Sublessee or Sublessor wishes to bring to the attention of the other or to a real estate professional called upon to assist in the determination of the fair market rental rate. The Extension Rental Rate shall be determined as follows: in the event Sublessee timely exercises an Extension Option in accordance herewith, within ten (10) business days after Sublessor receives Sublessee’s Extension Notice, Sublessor shall notify Sublessee in writing of Sublessor’s good faith determination of the fair market rental rate (“Sublessor’s Extension Term Rental Notice”), which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail Sublessor’s determination of such fair market rental rate and shall provide separately, if Sublessor wishes, rent concessions and/or tenant improvement allowances that Sublessor may wish to offer, and the amount by which Sublessor’s estimate of the fair market rental rate would increase as a result of the granting of such concessions (the “Concession Rate Amount”) and shall set forth Sublessor’s determination of the expiration date of the Negotiation Period. Sublessee shall have ten (10) business days from the date of Sublessor’s Extension Term Rental Notice to either accept or dispute Sublessor’s determination of the fair market rental rate. In the event that Sublessee disputes Sublessor’s determination of the fair market rental rate, Sublessee shall so notify Sublessor and advise Sublessor of Sublessee’s determination of the fair market rental rate (which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail Sublessee’s determination of the fair market rental rate as well as concessions and improvement allowances it may be seeking, including an alternate Concession Rate Amount). If Sublessor and Sublessee cannot agree upon the Extension Rental Rate within sixty (60) days of the date of Sublessor’s Extension Term Rental Notice (the “Negotiation Period”), Sublessee, at Sublessee’s option, shall give Sublessor, within three (3) business days of the expiration of the Negotiation Period, one of the following written notices: (a) a written notice revoking Sublessee’s exercise of such Extension Option, or (b) a written notice stating that Sublessee wishes to submit the matter to arbitration as set forth below. If Sublessee does not provide either notice, the exercise of such Extension Option shall be deemed revoked. If option (b) is chosen, Sublessor and Sublessee shall simultaneously exchange, on the fifth (5th) business day following the expiration of the Negotiation Period, statements setting forth each such party’s final determination of the fair market rental rate (each, a “Statement of Rental Rate”), including any Concession Rate Amount (separately stated), together with such backup information as to such party’s determination of the fair market rental rate and/or any Concession Rate Amount as such party wishes to include (and, in the case of Sublessor, the fair market rental rate in such Statement of Rental Rate shall not be greater than that set forth in Sublessor’s Extension Term Rental Notice and, in the case of Sublessee, the fair market rental rate in such Statement of Rental Rate shall not be less than that set forth in Sublessee’s initial determination of the fair market rental rate provided in response to Sublessor’s Extension Term Rental Notice). If the higher of the two (2) determinations of the fair market rental rate is equal to or less than 110% of the lesser determination, then the Extension Rental Rate shall be the average of the two determinations. Otherwise, Sublessor and Sublessee shall mutually select a real estate professional with at least ten (10) years’ continuous experience in the business of appraising or marketing multi-tenant mix-use commercial office, warehouse and industrial buildings in the greater Portsmouth area (the “Valuation Expert”) to resolve the dispute as to the Extension Rental Rate. If Sublessor and Sublessee cannot agree upon the designation of the Valuation Expert within ten (10) business days of the exchange of the Statements of Rental Rate, the parties shall apply to the New Hampshire Chapter of the Appraisal Institute (the “NHAI”) for appointment of a qualified Valuation Expert as follows: (i) the NHAI shall provide Sublessor and Sublessee with a list of five qualified Valuation Experts; (ii) within five (5) business days after such list is produced, each of Sublessor and Sublessee shall notify NHAI and the other party of those proposed experts that are acceptable (and, if desired, ranking the same), each being entitled to strike up to two candidates; (iii) if one party fails to send back its selections, then NHAI shall appoint the number one ranked expert proposed by the other party; if both parties fail to send back their selections, NHAI shall appoint a Valuation Expert in its discretion; and if both parties timely return their selections, then the Valuation Expert will be proposed expert that is the highest ranked (on a combined basis) by the parties as determined by NHAI. The Valuation Expert appointed by NHAI shall be final and binding upon Sublessor and Sublessee. Within five (5) business days of the selection of the Valuation Expert, Sublessor and Sublessee shall each submit to the Valuation Expert a copy of its Statement of Rental Rate, together with any supporting material. The Valuation Expert shall not perform his own valuation, but rather, shall, within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such submissions, select as the Extension Rental Rate the submission which the Valuation Expert concludes most closely and accurately reflects the fair market rental rate for the Leased Premises and the fair market rental rate set forth in that submission shall be the Extension Rental Rate for such Extension Term. The Valuation Expert shall give notice of his or her determination to Sublessor and Sublessee, and such decision shall be final and conclusively binding upon Sublessor and Sublessee. In addition, Sublessee shall be entitled to elect to take advantage of the concessions last offered by Sublessor and include the Concession Rate Amount in the Extension Rental Rate by notice to Sublessor given within thirty (30) days of the final determination by the Valuation Expert. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of any real estate professional such party retains and such party’s counsel, if any, in connection with any proceeding under this paragraph, and the party whose determination of the fair market rental rate was determined by the Valuation Expert not to most accurately and closely reflect the fair market rental rate of the Leased Premises shall pay the fees and expenses of the Valuation Expert. Sublessor and Sublessee shall execute an amendment to this Lease within thirty (30) days after the determination of the Extension Rental Rate (in accordance with the procedure set forth above) for the applicable Extension Term, which amendment shall set forth the Extension Term, the Extension Rental Rate, and all other terms and conditions for such Extension Term; provided, however, any failure to execute such amendment shall not affect such Extension Term or any terms or conditions for Sublessee’s leasing of the Premises for the applicable Extension Term.
