Extension and Right of First Refusal
15.1 | The Lessee is granted with a right to expand and lease: |
(i) | an additional production/warehouse part of the Facility D2 known as a part “D2.3” with a footprint of [•] sq m and a total rentable area of [•] sq m consisting of the production/warehouse area with a size of [•] sq m, that was constructed according to the site plan forming an Annex No. 6 hereto, floor plan forming Annex No. 1A hereto and technical specification forming Annex No. 15 hereto (hereinafter referred to as the “Technical Specification D2.3”) and the Future Lease Agreement (such part of the Facility D2 shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Extension Production/Warehouse Building D2.3”), and |
(ii) | additional adjacent paved areas consisting of an outer yard with a size of [•] sq m and a car park area with [•] surface car parking lots, all for an exclusive use by the Lessee, located on the additional part of the land plot No. [•] and constructed in accordance with the site plan forming an Annex No. 6 hereto, Technical Specification D2.3 and the Future Lease Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “Extension Paved Areas D2.3”), |
this all under the conditions agreed below.
The Extension Production/Warehouse Building D2.3 and Extension Paved Areas D2.3 shall be hereinafter jointly referred to as the “Extension”.
15.2 | The Lessee hereby acknowledges that the Extension shall be leased to a third party from the Commencement Date. |
15.3 | The Lessee shall be entitled to request the lease of the Extension upon a delivery of a written extension notice to the Lessor at least eighteen (18) months before the presumed lease commencement date of the Extension (hereinafter referred to “Extension Notice”); however the Extension Notice can be delivered to the Lessor on October 1st, 2017 at latest. |
15.4 | Should the Lessee exercise its extension right as mentioned above, the Lessor shall be then obliged to hand-over the Extension to the Lessee, in good conditions, free of any goods and without any defects for the use in accordance with this Agreement within eighteen (18) months from the delivery of the Lessee's Extension Notice at the latest (hereinafter referred to as the “Extension Target Date”). Within this period the Lessor shall be obliged to return the Extension into condition outlined in the Technical Specification D2.3 and increase the area of outer yards for an exclusive use by the Lessee by [•] sq m to a total size of [•] sq m and increase a number of surface car parking places by number [•] to a total number of [•] surface car parking lots for an exclusive use of the Lessee (as outlined in the site plan forming an Annex No. 6 hereto). The Parties shall within 30 (thirty) days following the delivery of the Extension Notice to the Lessor conclude an amendment hereto or new lease agreement subject of which shall be the lease of Extension. The amendment hereto shall be concluded in all material aspects under the same conditions as this Agreement and the Future Lease Agreement and the monthly rent unit prices applicable for the Extension shall be the same as the unit prices applicable for the Property on the Extension lease commencement date (with exception rent for the Paved Areas D2.3 which will be charged for EUR 1,150 + VAT per whole area per month). The lease term of the Extension as well as the Term of lease of the Property hereunder shall terminate at the same moment, i.e. at the expiry of the Term or the Extended Term (if applicable) hereunder or prematurely in accordance herewith. Should the Lessor fail to provide the Extension within the above period, it shall be obligated to pay to the Lessee a contractual penalty in the amount of EUR 10,000 per each commenced day of delay. For avoidance of doubt, the penalty hereunder is not applicable in case the delay is caused by the default of the Lessee (e.g. lack of the Lessee's cooperation) and only until lasting of such default, by the authorities (acting beyond or in breach of their duties) or by Force Majeure. If the Lessee requires carrying such production operations within the Extension, nature of which will be different than the operations carried out within the Property and as a result thereof (i) there will be need to amend the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) statement and/or obtain a special Integrated Prevention Pollution Control permit, obtaining of each of them would cause that the Lessor would not be able to deliver the Extension on the Extension Target Date, the Parties shall in good faith negotiate prolongation of the delivery period. |
For avoidance of doubt, failure to excercise Extension option hereunder by the Future Lessee shall not affect its right to Right of First Refusal hereunder.
15.5 | Competition and Non-Disturbance Clause. The Lessor undertakes not to lease any part of the Extension to any of the companies (including their subsidiaries, affiliates or any other enterprises in which they directly or indirectly participate) performing their business activities in fields mentioned in the list attached as Annex No. 9 hereto or to a company, business operations of which would periodically exceed the limits of the vibrations, EMI and acoustics as specified in Annex No. 12 hereto. Should the Lessor breach any of its obligations hereunder it shall pay to the Lessee contractual penalty in the amount of EUR 10,000 per each commenced day of delay. |
The Lessor undertakes not to carry and to ensure that any lessee/user of the Extension does not carry any activities in any part of the Extension, Property and/or nearby that would exceed the limits of the vibrations, EMI and acoustics as specified in Annex No. 12 hereto. Should the Lessor or lessee/user of the Extension plan to perform such activity it shall first deliver a written notice to the Lessee with sufficiently detailed description of the works to be carried out and suggested timing thereof. The Parties shall then discuss in good faith the manner and time schedule for implementation of such works trying to limit the disturbance of the operations of the Lessee in the Property to the least possible extent. Such manner and time schedule shall reflect operational needs of the Lessee as well as respect operational cycle of the Lessee as well as the Lessor's legitimate business interests to have the Extension fully occupied and to that end the Parties shall primarily try to schedule the works to be performed outside regular operational hours of the Lessee (e.g. during nights or weekends). The Lessor shall then comply and ensure lessee/user of the Extension complies with such time and work schedules. Should the Lessor breach any of its above obligations and provided that such breach results in breaching by the Lessor of the limits of the vibrations, EMI and acoustics as specified in Annex No. 12 hereto, the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee contractual penalty in the amount of EUR 10,000 per each day of such breach.
15.6 | The Lessor further undertakes to ensure that: (i) any lessee of the Extension or its any part shall not disturb or limit the Lessee's operation in the Property, (ii) such lessee shall together with the Lessee contribute on proportional basis to the operating expenses connected with the use and management of the Property, Extension and CTPark Brno II, (iii) there will be “house rules” set up by the Lessor and the Lessee to govern the mutual relationship between the Lessee and the lessee of the Extension which will be binding for the Lessor, the Lessee and for the lessee of the Extension. In the event of any disruption of the Lessee's operation in the Property by any lessee of the Extension, the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee the contractual penalty in the amount of EUR 10,000 per each commenced day of limitation since the 3rd (third) day (inclusive) after the delivery of a written notice by the Lessee regarding disruption, provided that the Lessor did not remedy the claimed disruption within first 2 (two) days after the delivery of a written notice by the Lessee regarding such disruption. |
15.7 | In addition to any other similar right which the Lessee may be entitled to pursuant to any mandatorily applicable provisions of Czech law, the Lessor hereby grants or undertakes to ensure granting to the Lessee a right of first refusal for lease of any space within: |
(i) | the Extension, and/or |
