3. Renewal.
3.1 Provided there is no existing uncured material default of Tenant under any of the Mikron Leases, if Tenant desires to continue leasing all of the premises leased under the Mikron Leases (or all of the premises leased under those Mikron Leases which are then in effect) for a period beyond the Extended Term (such period being the “Renewal Term”), Tenant shall give Landlord written notice on or before February 28, 2019 of its desire to negotiate a Renewal Term.

3.2 If the parties do not agree upon the monthly Rent for the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term by June 15, 2019 (the “Trigger Date”), either party may demand that the Monthly Rent be determined by arbitration. In such case, the parties shall endeavor to select a mutually agreeable arbitrator within ten (10) days after such demand. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within such 10-day period, either party may seek appointment of an arbitrator by the Chief Judge of the Superior Court of King County, Washington. Within fourteen (14) days after the arbitrator’s appointment, each party shall submit its estimate of the fair market rental value of the Leased Premises along with any documentary evidence that it may have to support its estimate. Within fourteen (14) days after the arbitrator’s receipt of each party’s estimate and evidence (if any), the arbitrator shall select the estimate that he or she determines is closest to the actual fair market rental value of the Leased Premises. The arbitrator’s determination of the estimate that is closest to the actual fair market value of the Leased Premises shall be completed no later than September 15, 2019 and shall be final and binding. The cost of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. In no event shall the fair market rent for the Leased Premises be less than the Monthly Rent due during the last month prior to the Renewal Term.
3.3 If the parties have not executed a fully integrated written agreement for lease of the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term on or before September 15, 2019, then Landlord shall be entitled to freely market the Leased Premises and show the Leased Premises to prospective tenants. Landlord agrees not to market the Leased Premises before this time unless Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant does not intend to pursue the Renewal Term.
