Option to Extend Provided (i) Tenant (as used in this Section 16.16, the term "Tenant" shall also include any Permitted Transferee that succeeds to Tenant's interest under Article 11, above) is not in Default hereunder at the time it exercises this option, (ii) the creditworthiness of Tenant is no less than on the date hereof, (iii) Tenant originally named herein remains in possession of all or substantially all of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall have the option to extend the Original Term for three (3) successive periods of five (5) years each (the "Extension Term(s)"). The Extension Term shall be upon the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease during the initial Lease Term (the "Original Term") except (i) this provision giving five (5) extension options shall be amended to reflect the remaining options to extend, if any and (ii) the Minimum Annual Rent shall be adjusted as set forth below (the "Rent Adjustment"). Tenant shall exercise such option by (i) delivering to Landlord, no later than sixteen (16) months prior to the expiration of the Original Term or, if applicable, the Extension Term, written notice of Tenant's desire to extend the Original Term or, if applicable, the Extension Term, and (ii) delivering to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the Rent Adjustment, written notice of its rejection thereof (which rejection shall terminate Tenant's option to extend), or that Tenant disputes Landlord's determination of the Rental Adjustment and shall include Tenant's good faith determination of what the Rental Adjustment should be. In the case of a notice disputing the Rental Adjustment, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually work together for a period of ten (10) days to resolve the dispute and, if unable to agree upon the Rental Adjustment within said period, Landlord and Tenant shall in good faith participate in non-binding arbitration of the Rental Adjustment for a period of thirty (30) days. Unless Landlord otherwise agrees in writing, Tenant's failure to timely exercise such option shall waive it and any succeeding option. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount of the Rent Adjustment no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of Tenant's exercise of its option. If Tenant properly exercises its option to extend, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease reflecting the terms and conditions of the Extension Term. The Minimum Annual Rent for the applicable Extension Term shall be an amount equal to the Minimum Annual Rent then being quoted by Landlord to prospective tenants of the Building for space of comparable size and quality and with similar or equivalent improvements as are found in the Building, and if none, then in similar buildings in the vicinity, excluding free rent and other concessions. The Minimum Monthly Rent shall be an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Minimum Annual Rent for the Extension Term and shall be paid at the same time and in the same manner as provided in the Lease.
Renewal Option 43.01 Provided Tenant is not then in default under any of the terms, (monetary or other nonmonetary, but material) covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed beyond Notice and applicable cure. Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease and the Term for a renewal term of five (5) years (referred to herein as the “Renewal Term”) commencing on the day immediately succeeding the Expiration Date and ending, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or pursuant to law, on the day preceding the fifth anniversary thereof (referred to as the “Extended Expiration Date”). If Tenant exercises such option in accordance with the provisions and limitations of this Article, this Lease and the Terms shall be renewed for such Renewal Term upon a Fixed Rent as follows; Except as otherwise provided herein, all other executory terms, covenants and condition contained in this Lease and the Expiration Date of the Lease shall be deemed extended to the Extended Expiration Date.
43.02 The option set forth herein may only be exercised by notice (“Renewal Notice”) given by Tenant to Landlord on or prior to April 30, 2018 (the “Notice Date”). TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE with respect to the exercise of such option. Tenant shall not have the right to give any such notice after the Notice Date, and any notice given after the Notice Date purporting to exercise such option shall have no force and effect. Landlord, within 30 days after Tenant’s request, shall confirm in writing to Tenant (“Landlord Confirmation”) whether Landlord has received the Renewal Notice and whether such Notice has been properly sent to Landlord (and, if not, setting forth any defects in such Notice or delivery thereof). Landlord’s failure to send the Landlord Confirmation within such 30 day period shall constitute Landlord’s acceptance thereof and waiver of any right to object thereto. If Landlord, within such 30 day period, shall notify Tenant of any defects in the Renewal Notice or delivery thereof, Tenant shall have the right to send a revised Renewal Notice at any time prior to the deadline for sending such Renewal Notice under this Section and the provisions of this paragraph shall apply fully to such revised Renewal Notice and any subsequent Renewal Notice.
43.03 Tenant, upon request of Landlord, from time to time, will execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord stating whether or not Tenant has exercised the option contained in the provisions of the Section.
Extension Option Subtenant shall have the right (the “Extension Right”) to extend the Term of this Sublease for a single additional period of three (3) months (the “Sublease Extension Term”) on the same terms and conditions as this Sublease (other than Base Rent) by giving Sublandlord written notice of its election to exercise the Extension Right at least eight (8) months prior to the Expiration Date of the initial Term, which notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. If Subtenant timely elects to exercise such right to the Sublease Extension Term, the Sublease Extension Term shall commence on the day immediately following the initial Expiration Date. During the Sublease Extension Term, Base Rent for each portion of the Subleased Premises shall be payable at a rate equal to 103% of the rate in effect with respect to such portion of the Subleased Premised on the initial Expiration Date. The Extension Right is personal to Subtenant and shall not be assignable without Sublandlord’s and Prime Lessor’s consent in their respective sole discretion, except that it may (subject to obtaining the consent of Prime Lessor to the extent required under Section 22 of the Prime Lease) be assigned in connection with a Corporate Permitted Assignment of this Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant may not exercise the Extension Right (i) during any period of time that Subtenant is in default under any provision of this Sublease, (ii) if Subtenant has been in default under any provision of this Sublease two (2) or more times, whether or not the defaults are cured, during the last year of the initial Term of this Sublease, or (iii) if Subtenant is not in occupancy of at least eighty percent (80%) of the entire Subleased Premises both at the time of the exercise of the Extension Right and at the time of the commencement date of the Sublease Extension Term. The Extension Right shall terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Subtenant’s due and timely exercise of the Extension Right, if after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of the Sublease Extension Term, (i) Subtenant fails to timely cure any default by Subtenant under this Sublease, or (ii) Subtenant has defaulted two (2) or more times during the period from the date of the exercise of the Extension Right to the date of the commencement of the Sublease Extension Term, whether or not such defaults are cured.
Option to Extend Lease Term Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an option to extend the Lease Term for either a) a one (1) year period; b) a two (2) year period; or c) a three (3) year period (“Option Period”), on the following terms and conditions:
A. Tenant must give Landlord notice in writing of its exercise of the option in question, and the length of the Option Period, no earlier than 270 days before the date the Lease Term would end, but for the exercise of the said option, and no later than 180 days before the date the Lease Term would end, but for the exercise of the said option.
B. Tenant may not extend the Lease Term pursuant to any option granted by this paragraph if Tenant is in Default beyond any applicable notice and cure period as of the date of exercise of the option, or as of the date this Lease would have been terminated but for said exercise.
C. All terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall apply during the option period, except that the Base Monthly Rent for the Option Period shall be determined as provided in section D below.
D. The Base Monthly Rent for the Option Period shall be the greater of: (i) the Base Monthly Rent payable for the last month of the Premises Lease Term, or (ii) ninety-five (95%) percent of the then fair market monthly rent determined as of the commencement of the Option Period, based upon a lease for premises of like size, quality and location in the Menlo Park area. If the parties are unable to agree upon the fair market monthly rent for the Premises for the Option Period within 30 days from Tenant’s delivery of notice of exercise of the option, then the fair market monthly rent shall be determined by appraisal conducted pursuant to subsection E of this paragraph.
E. In the event it becomes necessary to determine by appraisal the fair market rent of the Premises for the purpose of establishing the Base Monthly Rent during the Option Period, then such fair market monthly rent shall be determined by three real estate appraisers, all of whom shall be members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, with not less than five years’ experience appraising real property (other than residential or agricultural property) located in San Mateo County, California, in accordance with the following procedures:
(i) The party demanding an appraisal (the “Notifying Party”) shall notify the other party (the “Non-Notifying Party”) thereof by delivering a written demand for appraisal, which demand, to be effective, must give the name, address, and qualifications of an appraiser selected by the Notifying Party. Within 10 days of receipt of said demand, the Non-Notifying Party shall select its appraiser and notify the Notifying Party, in writing, of the name, address, and qualifications of an appraiser selected by it. Failure by the Non-Notifying Party to select a qualified appraiser within said 10 business day period shall be deemed a waiver of its right to select a second appraiser on its own behalf; and the Notifying Party shall select a second appraiser on behalf of the Non-Notifying Party within five days after the expiration of said 10 business day period. Within 10 business days from the date the second appraiser shall have been appointed, the two appraisers so selected shall appoint a third appraiser. If the two appraisers fail to select a third qualified appraiser, the third appraiser shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association or if it shall refuse to perform this function, then at the request of either Landlord or Tenant, such third appraiser shall be promptly appointed by the American Arbitration Association or, if it shall refuse to perform this function then, at the request of either Landlord or Tenant, such third appraiser shall be promptly appointed by the then Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo.
(ii) The three appraisers so selected shall meet in Menlo Park, California, not later than 20 days following the selection of the third appraiser. At said meeting the appraisers so selected shall attempt to determine the fair market monthly rent of the Premises for the Option Period.
(iii) If the appraisers so selected are unable to complete their determinations in one meeting, they may continue to consult at such times as they deem necessary for a 15 day period from the date of the first meeting, in an attempt to have at least two of them agree. If, at the initial meeting or at any time during said 15 day period, two or more of the appraisers so selected agree on the fair market rent of the Leased Premises, such agreement shall be determinative and binding on the parties hereto, and the agreeing appraisers shall, in simple letter form executed by the agreeing appraisers, forthwith notify both Landlord and Tenant of the amount set by such agreement.
(iv) If two or more appraisers do not so agree within said 15 day period, then each appraiser shall, within five days after the expiration of said 15 day period, submit his independent appraisal in simple letter form to Landlord and Tenant stating his determination of the fair market rent of the Premises for the Option Period. The parties shall then determine the fair market rent for the Premises by determining the average of the fair market rent set by each of the appraisers. However, if the lowest appraisal is less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the middle appraisal then such lowest appraisal shall be disregarded and/or if the highest appraisal is greater than one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the middle appraisal then such highest appraisal shall be disregarded. If the fair market rent set by any appraisal is so disregarded, then the average shall be determined by computing the average set by the other appraisals that have not been disregarded.
(v) Nothing contained herein shall prevent Landlord and Tenant from jointly selecting a single appraiser to determine the fair market rent of the Premises, in which event the determination of such appraisal shall be conclusively deemed the fair market rent of the Premises.
(vi) Each party shall bear the fees and expenses of the appraiser selected by or for it, and the fees and expenses of the third appraiser (or the joint appraiser if one joint appraiser if one joint appraiser is used) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Landlord and fifty percent (50%) by Tenant.
F. The option rights of Tenant under the within article 20 of this Lease, and the extended term thereunder, are granted solely and exclusively for Tenants’ personal benefit and may not be assigned or transferred by Tenant other than as part of a Voluntary Permitted Transfer.
G. The Base Monthly Rent for the remainder of the Option Period, if any, shall be adjusted by annual CPI increases.
Option to Extend Term Tenant shall have the option (“Option”) to extend the Term of this Lease by five (5) years (the “Extension Term”) as to the entire Premises (and no less than the entire Premises) upon the following terms and conditions. Any extension of the Term pursuant to the Option shall be on all the same terms and conditions as this Lease, except as follows:
42.1 Basic Annual Rent shall be adjusted on the first (1st) day of the Extension Term and each anniversary date thereof in accordance with Article 7. The Basic Annual Rent during the Extension Term shall equal the greater of: (a) ninety-five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Value for the Extension Term; and (b) 103% of the then-current Basic Annual Rent at the end of the then-current Term, and shall be adjusted in accordance with Article 7 hereof. “Fair Market Value” means the then-prevailing average annual rate that comparable landlords have accepted in current transactions from new, non-equity (i.e., not being offered equity in the Building), nonrenewal, nonexpansion and nonaffiliated tenants of similar financial strength for comparable space in comparable laboratory buildings comparably located, with comparable size, quality and floor height in a first class office building, or as appropriate, a laboratory building, taking into consideration all relevant factors, including, without limitation, the proposed lease term, the tenant inducements, free rent, brokerage commissions, allowances or concessions, if any, and excluding specialized tenant improvements or tenant paid improvements for a comparable term, with the determination of Fair Market Value to take into account all relevant factors, including tenant inducements, allowances or concessions, if any, the extent of the services provided or to be provided to the Premises, and contraction and expansion options. In the event the tenant inducements, allowances or concessions granted differ from the terms contained in this Lease, an adjustment to the Fair Market Value shall be made on a basis consistent with the adjustments commonly made in the market for comparable differences and concession packages. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Fair Market Value for purposes of the Extension Term then they shall engage a mutually agreeable independent third party appraiser with at least ten (10) years’ experience in appraising the rental value of leased commercial premises (for research and development and laboratory uses) in the Seattle, Washington area (the “Appraiser”). If the parties cannot agree on the Appraiser, each shall within ten (10) days after such impasse appoint an Appraiser and, within ten (10) days after the appointment of both such Appraisers, those two Appraisers shall select a third. If either party fails to timely appoint an Appraiser, then the Appraiser the other party appoints shall be the sole Appraiser. Within ten (10) days after appointment of all Appraiser(s), Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously give the Appraisers (with a copy to the other party) its determination of Fair Market Value, with such supporting data or information as each submitting party determines appropriate. Within ten (10) days after such submissions, the Appraisers shall by majority vote select either Landlord’s or Tenant’s Fair Market Value. The Appraisers may not select or designate any other Fair Market Value. The determination of the Appraiser(s) shall bind the parties.
