| (iii) | no Significant Default nor any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date that Lessor receives notice of Lessee’s exercise of the Extension Option or on the then applicable Scheduled Expiry Date (as determined without giving effect to Lessee’s exercise of the Extension Option). |
| (c) | If Lessee elects to exercise an Extension Option then, with effect from the Scheduled Expiry Date, the Lease shall be automatically amended as follows: |
| (i) | with respect to the First Extension Option, the words “one hundred eighty three (183) months after the Rent Commencement Date” in the definition of “Scheduled Expiry Date” shall be deemed replaced by the words “one hundred ninety five (195) months after the Rent Commencement Date” (provided, however, if Lessee exercises the Fourth Extension Option concurrently with the First Extension Option, the words “one hundred eighty three (183) months after the Rent Commencement Date” in the definition of “Scheduled Expiry Date” shall be deemed replaced by the words “one hundred ninety eight (198) months after the Rent Commencement Date”); |
| (ii) | with respect to the Second Extension Option, the words “one hundred ninety five (195) months after the Rent Commencement Date” in the definition of “Scheduled Expiry Date” shall be deemed replaced by the |

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such a material adverse change shall be deemed to have occurred if Lessee or Guarantor files, is subject to an involuntary filing or announces that it is contemplating the filing of, a petition in bankruptcy or voluntary petition seeking reorganization in a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency Laws. |
