Initial Term This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above (the “Start Date”) and shall continue thereafter throughout the period that ends two (2) years after the Start Date (the “Initial Term”).
Extended Term Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term for two (2) consecutive five (5) year periods (the "FIRST EXTENDED TERM" and "SECOND EXTENDED TERM", respectively) on all the terms and conditions contained in this Lease including, without limitation, continuation of the adjustment of the Base Rent on an annual basis as provided in Section 3.3 below (provided only that upon commencement of the First Extended Term the only remaining option to extend the Term shall be the Second Extended Term and upon exercise of the option with respect to the Second Extended Term, no further right to extend the Term shall exist). Tenant shall deliver, if at all, written notice of its exercise of the option ("OPTION NOTICE") to Landlord at least six (6) months but not more than one (1) year before the expiration of the Term or First Extended Term, as the case may be. In the event Tenant fails to deliver the applicable Option Notice within the time allowed, Landlord shall deliver written notice to Tenant of Tenant's failure to deliver the Option Notice, and Tenant shall then have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice within which to deliver the Option Notice, if at all, to Landlord. In the event (and only in the event) that, Tenant fails to deliver an Option Notice to Landlord within such thirty (30) days, Tenant shall be considered to have elected not to extend the Term of this Lease and thereafter, Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term of this Lease. References in this Lease to the "Term" shall include the initial Term of fifteen (15) years and shall, in addition, include the First Extended Term and the Second Extended Term, if applicable.
Feasibility Period (a) For a Feasibility Period of ninety (90) days from the date hereof (the "Feasibility Period"), Buyer is granted the right to conduct physical inspections, tests and investigations of the Premises in such a manner as not to inconvenience the tenants and to review copies of the Leases, Service Contracts, bills for calendar years 1994 and 1995 for real estate taxes, utilities (water, sewer, gas and electric) insurance premiums and trash removal pertaining to the Premises. At any time during said Feasibility Period, Buyer shall have the right, for any reason whatsoever, to cancel and terminate this Agreement by serving written notice thereof upon Seller on or before the expiration of said Feasibility Period; if Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as permitted herein, then this Agreement shall be cancelled and terminated and the Deposit, together with interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Buyer and neither party hereunder shall have any further liability or obligation to the other hereunder except with respect to the indemnifications contained in this Xxxxxxxxx 0, Xxxxxxxxx 5(e) and Paragraph 22; if Buyer fails to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement as permitted herein, then said right shall automatically lapse, terminate and become null and void. Buyer shall indemnify and save harmless the Seller from any liability, loss, cost or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from or in connection with such inspection and/or entry upon the Premises; said indemnification shall survive Closing and/or termination of this Agreement."
Title Commitment (a) Purchaser acknowledges receipt of that certain title insurance commitment dated April 9, 2002 issued by the Title Company under Commitment No. 673945-F (the "TITLE COMMITMENT"), together with copies of the title exceptions listed thereon. Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Evaluation Period (the "ORIGINAL OBJECTION DATE") to send written notice to Seller of its objections to matters shown on the Title Commitment or the Existing Survey that Purchaser deems unacceptable and shall have until the date (the "NEW OBJECTION DATE") that is five (5) Business Days after receipt by Purchaser's counsel of any update to the Title Commitment or any Updated Survey (or as promptly as possible prior to the Closing with respect to updates received less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing) to send written notice to Seller of Purchaser's objections to any new exceptions to title to the Real Property raised thereby, provided that Purchaser may object to matters shown on an Updated Survey only if such matters were not shown on the Existing Survey. Purchaser's objections made in accordance with the preceding sentence are referred to herein as "TITLE OBJECTIONS" or "SURVEY OBJECTIONS," as applicable. Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted the exceptions to title set forth on the Title Commitment (as updated) and the matters shown on the Existing Survey and Updated Survey as permitted exceptions (together with any Title Objections and Survey Objections ultimately waived by Purchaser or cured by Seller, the "PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS") unless such matters are objected to by Purchaser in writing by the Original Objection Date or the New Objection Date, as applicable. Seller shall cause the Title Company to furnish to Purchaser a preliminary title report or title commitment, by the terms of which the Title Company agrees to issue to Purchaser at Closing an owner's policy of title insurance (the "TITLE POLICY") in the amount of the Purchase Price on the then standard TLTA owner's form insuring Purchaser's fee simple title to the Real Property, subject to the terms of such policy and the Permitted Exceptions including, without limitation, the standard or general exceptions. The basic premium for the Title Policy shall be at Seller's expense, and Purchaser may request additional coverage under the Title Policy or endorsements or deletions thereto (including, without limitation, the modification or deletion of the survey exception), which shall be, in each case, at Purchaser's expense.
Title Commitments Prior to Closing, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist Buyer if Buyer desires to obtain American Land Title Association ("ALTA") title insurance commitments (collectively, the "Title Commitments," and each a "Title Commitment"), in final form, from one or more title insurance companies (collectively, the "Title Company"), committing the Title Company (subject only to the satisfaction of any industry standard requirements contained in the Title Commitment) to issue ALTA (or its local equivalent) form of title insurance policies in an amount acceptable to the Buyer and the Title Company insuring good, valid, indefeasible fee simple title to the Real Property in Buyer, in all cases, at Buyer's sole expense and in the respective amounts that Buyer requests prior to Closing, subject to no Encumbrances or other exceptions to title other than Permitted Encumbrances (collectively the "Title Policies"). On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Title Company, at no cost to Seller, any customary affidavits, standard gap indemnities, evidence of corporate existence and authority, and similar documents reasonably requested by the Title Company in connection with the issuance of the Title Commitments or the Title Policies; provided that such efforts and Buyer's request for Title Policies or Title Commitments shall, in no event, result in any delay in the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent caused by or resulting from Seller's breach of this Agreement; and provided further, that nothing in this Section 6.17 shall obligate Seller to execute or deliver any document that affects, in a manner adverse to Seller, Seller's liability to Buyer as expressed herein and in the Special Warranty Deed.
Title Commitment and Survey (a) In the event (i) the Survey shows any easement, right-of-way, encroachment, conflict, protrusion or other matter affecting the Property that is unacceptable to Purchaser, or (ii) any exceptions appear in the Title Commitment other than the standard printed exceptions set forth in the standard Texas form of Commitment for Title Insurance, that are unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall within five (5) business days after receipt of the Survey, the Title Commitment and copies of all documents referred to as exceptions in the Title Commitment, notify Seller in writing of such facts and the reasons therefor ("PURCHASER'S OBJECTIONS"). Upon the expiration of said five (5) business day period, except for Purchaser's Objections if same are timely raised, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the form and substance of the Survey, all matters shown thereon, all exceptions to the Title Commitment and other items shown thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as otherwise set forth in SECTION 4.1.3 of this Agreement, Seller shall have no obligations to take any steps or bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any effort or expense whatsoever to eliminate or modify any of the Purchaser's Objections. In the event Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate or modify all of Purchaser's Objections to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser, Purchaser may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement by delivering notice thereof in writing to Seller by the earlier to occur of (i) the Closing Date or (ii) five (5) days after Seller's written notice to Purchaser of Seller's intent to not cure one or more of such Purchaser's Objections, in which event, the Xxxxxxx Money will be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this SECTION 4.1.2 to the contrary, in the event Purchaser does not receive all items to be delivered to Purchaser under SECTION 4.1(A) and (B) in the time frame set forth therein, Purchaser's rights shall be to terminate this Agreement as set forth in SECTION 4.1, and such rights shall not be modified or extended by the terms of this SECTION 4.1.2.
Study Period (a) The Acquiror shall have the right, until 5:00 p.m. on the last day of the Study Period, and thereafter if the Acquiror notifies the Contributor that the Acquiror has elected to proceed to Closing in the manner described below, to enter upon the Real Property and to perform, at the Acquiror's expense, such economic, surveying, engineering, environmental, topographic and marketing tests, studies and investigations as the Acquiror may deem appropriate. If such tests, studies and investigations warrant, in the Acquiror's sole, absolute and unreviewable discretion, the acquisition of the Property for the purposes contemplated by the Acquiror, then the Acquiror may elect to proceed to Closing and shall so notify the Contributor prior to the expiration of the Study Period. If for any reason the Acquiror does not so notify the Contributor of its determination to proceed to Closing prior to the expiration of the Study Period, or if the Acquiror notifies the Contributor, in writing, prior to the expiration of the Study Period that it has determined not to proceed to Closing, this Agreement automatically shall terminate, the Acquiror shall be released from any further liability or obligation under this Agreement.
Initial Lease Term The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease except for the provisions of this Lease relating to the payment of Rent. The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall be as set forth in Section 3.1 of the Summary, shall commence on the date (the “Lease Commencement Date”) that is the earlier to occur of (i) the date Tenant commences to conduct business in any portion of the Premises, and (ii) the of “Substantial Completion”, as that term is defined in this Article 2, of the Premises by Landlord, and shall terminate on the date determined in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Summary (the “Lease Expiration Date”) unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. For purposes of this Lease, “Substantial Completion” of the Premises shall occur upon the completion of construction, as reasonably determined by Landlord, of the “Tenant Improvements,” as that term is defined in the Tenant Work Letter, in the Premises pursuant to the plans and drawings which are prepared and approved pursuant to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or legal equivalent, with the exception of any Punchlist Items (as defined below) and any Tenant fixtures, work-stations, built-in furniture, or equipment to be installed by Tenant or under the supervision of Contractor (as defined in Section 3 of the Tenant Work Letter). “Punchlist Items” shall mean only commercially reasonable punchlist items, the non-completion of which does not prevent the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or legal equivalent or unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, and which punchlist items shall be corrected promptly by Landlord (within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of written notice thereof from Tenant) without unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use of or access to or from the Premises. It is anticipated that the Lease Commencement Date will occur within sixteen (16) weeks after mutual execution of this Lease (such date, the “Target Commencement Date”), but this Lease shall not be void, voidable or subject to termination, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage, resulting from Landlord’s inability to deliver the Premises to Tenant by any particular date, except as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if the Lease Commencement Date does not occur within 60 days after the Target Commencement Date, other than due to Tenant Delay (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter) or Force Majeure, then Tenant, at its option, may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord given at any time after the expiration of such 60-day period but before the Lease Commencement Date actually occurs. In the event of such termination by Tenant, the first month’s Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses paid by Tenant and the Security Deposit shall be fully refunded to Tenant (subject to Landlord’s right to draw upon such Security Deposit as provided in Article 21 below) and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit “C”, attached hereto, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall (absent manifest error) execute and return to Landlord within five (5) business days of receipt thereof.

Seller agrees that, during the Inspection Period, Seller will allow Purchaser and Purchaser's agents access to the Property during normal business hours to conduct soil and engineering, hazardous waste, marketing, feasibility, zoning and other studies or tests and to otherwise determine the feasibility of the Property for Purchaser's intended use; provided, however, that prior to conducting any invasive testing with respect to the Land or Improvements, or any tests or studies which could cause any damage to the Land or Improvements, Purchaser must advise Seller in writing (which notice shall state in reasonable detail the nature and extent of such proposed testing) of its intent to conduct such tests or studies and Seller may, in its reasonable discretion, refuse to approve any such tests or studies, in which event Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to terminate this Contract pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, all as provided in said Section 5.2. Seller agrees that, during the Inspection Period, Seller will allow Purchaser and Purchaser's agents to conduct interviews with the Tenants set forth on Schedule 5.1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, and with those certain Tenants which Purchaser notifies Seller in writing during the Inspection Period that Purchaser desires to conduct interviews and which Seller consents to, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that such interviews shall take place during normal business hours after reasonable notice (which may be by telephone) to Seller, and such interviews shall be conducted only in the presence of one of Seller's representatives. Not withstanding the foregoing, (a) the costs and expenses of Purchaser's investigation shall be borne solely by Purchaser, (b) prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall restore the Property to the condition which existed prior to Purchaser's entry thereon and investigation thereof to the extent the condition of the Property was affected by or as a result of the actions of Purchaser or its agents, contractors or representatives, (c) Purchaser shall not, in Seller's reasonable opinion, materially interfere, interrupt or disrupt the operation of Seller's business on the Property and, further, such access by Purchaser and/or its agents shall be subject to the rights of Tenants under Tenant Leases, (d) in the event the transaction contemplated by this Contract does not close for any reason, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a descriptive listing of all tests, reports and inspections conducted by Purchaser with respect to the Property and deliver copies thereof to Seller (excluding, however, any proprietary development or marketing materials), (e) Purchaser shall not permit any mechanic's or materialman's liens or any other liens to attach to the Property by reason of the performance of any work or the purchase of any materials by Purchaser or any other party on Purchaser's behalf in connection with any studies or tests conducted pursuant to this Section 5.1, (f) Purchaser shall give notice (which may be by telephone) to Seller a reasonable time prior to entry onto the Property and shall permit Seller to have a representative present during all investigations and inspections conducted with respect to the Property, and (g) Purchaser shall take all reasonable actions and implement all protections necessary to ensure that all actions taken in connection with the investigations and inspections of the Property, and all equipment, materials and substances generated, used or brought onto the Property pose no material threat to the safety of persons or the environment and cause no damage to the Property or other property of Seller or other persons. All information made available by Seller to Purchaser in accordance with this Contract or obtained by Purchaser in the course of its investigations shall be treated as confidential information by Purchaser, and, prior to the purchase of the Property by Purchaser, Purchaser shall use its best efforts to prevent its agents and employees from divulging such information to any third parties except (i) as reasonably necessary to third parties engaged by Purchaser for the limited purpose of analyzing and investigating such information for the purpose of consummating the transaction contemplated by this Contract, including Purchaser's attorneys and representatives, prospective lenders and engineers or (ii) as may required by applicable law, unless such information is generally available to the public or is disclosed by a party other than Purchaser or its agents. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless for, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, causes of action, damages, liens, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incident to, resulting from or in any way arising out of any of Purchaser's and its agents', contractors' and representatives' activities on the Property, including, without limitation, any tests or inspections conducted by Purchaser or its agents, contractors or representatives on the Property. The agreements contained in this Section 5.1 shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein and shall also survive any termination of this Contract.
Renewal Term If not sooner terminated, this Agreement shall renew at the end of the Initial Term and shall thereafter continue for successive annual periods, provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the Fund’s Board of Trustees or (ii) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the relevant portfolio of the Fund, provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by the majority of the Trustees of the Fund who are not interested persons (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of any party to this Agreement by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
