Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s renewal notice (and any required supporting information), Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the Market Rental Rate. Within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Tenant shall notify Landlord that Tenant either (a) accepts Landlord’s renewal terms, in which event the parties shall promptly enter into an amendment to this Lease incorporating such terms or (b) rejects Landlord’s renewal terms. Failure of Tenant to respond within such fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed a rejection of Landlord’s terms. If Tenant rejects Landlord’s renewal terms, then within ten (10) days of such rejection, Landlord will (i) select a M.A.I. appraiser; (ii) Tenant will select a M.A.I. appraiser; and (iii) the two appraisers so selected shall agree upon a third M.A.I. appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”).

Each party will pay the cost of its own appraiser and one-half of the cost of the Third Appraiser.

This Renewal Option is personal to Tenant and is not assignable to any third parties, other than an affiliate of Tenant.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Comparable Transactions shall be for a term similar to the term of tenancy and for space comparable in use, floor levels, view and orientation, square footage and location within the Building and in the Applicable Market as the transaction for which Fair Market Rental Rate is being determined; however, leases of unusual or odd shaped spaces shall not be considered. In any determination of Fair Market Rental Rate, the stated or contract monthly net or base rental in Comparable Transactions shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account the different terms and conditions prevailing in such transactions and those present in the Lease, including, without limitation: (a) the extent to which average annual expenses and taxes per rentable square foot payable by tenants in Comparable Transactions vary from those payable by Tenant under the Lease, and so, for example, if the Lease provides for payment of Rent Adjustments and/or certain Operating Expenses on the basis of increases over a base year, then the rate of Monthly Base Rent under the Lease shall be based upon a step-up to change the calendar year which serves as the base year for calculation of the base for such Operating Expenses for the Option Term to be the full calendar year in which the Option Term commences, and such step-up shall be considered in the determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate; (b) tenant improvements, value of existing tenant improvements, the concessions, if any, being given by landlords in Comparable Transactions, such as parking charge abatement, free rent or rental abatement applicable after substantial completion of any tenant improvements (and no adjustment shall be made for any free or abated rent during any construction periods), loans at below-market interest rates, moving allowances, space planning allowances, lease takeover payments and work allowances, as compared to any tenant improvement, refurbishment or repainting allowance given to Tenant under the Lease for the space for which Fair Market Rental Rate is being determined; (c) the brokerage commissions, fees and bonuses payable by landlords in Comparable Transactions (whether to tenant’s agent, such landlord or any person or entity affiliated with such landlord), as compared to any such amounts payable by Landlord to the broker(s) identified with respect to the transaction for which Fair Market Rental Rate is being determined; (d) the time value of money; (e) any material difference between the definition of rentable area and the ratio of project rentable to useable square feet in Comparable Transactions, as compared to such figures applicable to the space for which Fair Market Rental Rate is being determined; and (f) the extent to which charges for parking by tenants in Comparable Transactions vary from those payable by Tenant under the Lease.
Market Rent the yearly rent at which the Premises might reasonably be expected to be let on the open market on the Rent Review Date, on the terms of the Hypothetical Lease and applying the Assumptions and the Disregards.94 Rent review On the Rent Review Date, the Main Rent is to be reviewed to the higher of: the Main Rent reserved immediately before the Rent Review Date; and the Market Rent. The reviewed Main Rent will be payable from and including the Rent Review Date. Dispute resolution The Market Rent at the Rent Review Date may be agreed between the Landlord and the Tenant. If they have not done so (whether or not they have tried) by [the date three months before] the Rent Review Date, either the Landlord or the Tenant can require the Market Rent to be decided by an independent [expert/arbitrator].95 If the Landlord and the Tenant do not agree on who should decide the Market Rent, the [expert/arbitrator] will be appointed by the President of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors on the application of either the Landlord or the Tenant. [The arbitration must be conducted in accordance with the Arbitration Act 1996.][The expert will:] [invite the Landlord and the Tenant to submit to him a proposal for the Market Rent with any relevant supporting documentation; give the Landlord and the Tenant an opportunity to make counter submissions; give written reasons for his decisions, which will be binding on the parties; and be paid by the Landlord and the Tenant in the shares and in the manner that he decides (or failing a decision, in equal shares).] The [expert/arbitrator] must be an independent chartered surveyor of not less than ten years’ standing who is experienced in the rental valuation of property similar to the Premises and who knows the local market for such premises. If the [expert/arbitrator] dies, becomes unwilling or incapable of acting or it becomes apparent for any other reason that he will be unable to decide the Market Rent within a reasonable time, he may be replaced by a new [expert/arbitrator] who must be appointed on the terms set out in this paragraph 3. Responsibility for the costs of referring a dispute to an [expert/arbitrator], including costs connected with the appointment of the [expert/arbitrator] but not the legal and other professional costs of any party in relation to a dispute, will be decided by the [expert/arbitrator] and failing a decision, they will be shared equally between the parties. Consequences of delay in agreeing the revised rent If, by the Rent Review Date, the reviewed Main Rent has not been ascertained, then: the Main Rent reserved under this Lease immediately before the Rent Review Date will continue to be payable until the reviewed Main Rent has been ascertained; following the ascertainment of the reviewed Main Rent, the Landlord will demand the difference (if any) between the amount the Tenant has actually paid and the amount that would have been payable had the Main Rent been ascertained before the Rent Review Date; and the Tenant must pay that difference to the Landlord within 10 Business Days after that demand and interest at three per cent below the Interest Rate calculated on a daily basis on each instalment of that difference from the date on which each instalment would have become payable to the date of payment. If not paid those sums will be treated as rent in arrear. Rent review memorandum When the Market Rent has been ascertained, a memorandum recording the Main Rent reserved on review must be entered into. The Landlord and the Tenant will each bear their own costs in relation to that memorandum. Time not of the essence For the purpose of this Schedule 2 time is not of the essence.96
