Discontinuation Option Clause Samples

A Discontinuation Option clause grants one or both parties the right to end an agreement or a specific obligation before its natural expiration. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions under which discontinuation can occur, such as providing advance written notice or meeting certain performance criteria.

  • Termination Option Tenant shall have the one-time right to terminate the Lease effective as of the end of the thirty-sixth full calendar month following the Commencement Date, by giving written notice to the Landlord prior to the expiration of the twenty-seventh full calendar month following the Commencement Date (time being of the essence herein), which notice (in order to be valid) shall be accompanied by payment of the Termination Fee (hereinafter defined) and which notice shall specify the termination date; provided however, if Tenant is in Default at any time hereunder beyond any applicable cure period (whether before or after the termination notice), at Landlord’s option, such termination election shall be null and void, and Landlord may use any portion of the Termination Fee paid to offset against any amounts owed by Tenant under the Lease. The Termination Fee is equal to the sum of (i) four (4) months of Rent then being paid by Tenant on a monthly basis (including without limitation estimated pass-throughs), plus (ii) the unamortized portion of the cost of all leasehold improvements, leasing commissions, attorney fees, rental abatements and other concessions incurred or provided by Lessor in connection with this Lease. Upon request, Landlord shall calculate the Termination Fee and provide the amount thereof to Tenant. The Termination Fee shall be calculated by Landlord by first amortizing the cost of all leasehold improvements, leasing commissions, attorney fees, rental abatements and other concessions in equal monthly installments over the Term (or if incurred in connection with any Lease amendment, amortized over the portion of the Term commencing with the effective date for the initial full monthly payment of Rent for the Lease amendment) at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum (compounded annually) and then determining the unamortized portion thereof as of the effective date of termination. Tenant, in addition to the Termination Fee, shall remain obligated for all Basic Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and other sums due under the Lease up to and including the effective date of termination, even though such amounts may be billed subsequent to such date. Tenant’s obligations, and Landlord’s rights and remedies (including without limitation, the right to recover reasonable attorneys fees as permitted by this Lease), with respect to all such sums, any other amounts due and owing to Landlord and any other of Tenant’s obligations or liabilities accruing prior to the date of termination shall survive any such termination. .

  • Early Termination Option Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease on March 31, 2005, September 30, 2005, March 31, 2006, or September 30, 2006 (each an “Early Termination Date”). Lessee shall give written notice of Lessee’s election to terminate, and such written notice shall be delivered to Lessor at least six (6) months prior to the applicable Early Termination Date. Should Lessee elect to terminate this Lease, Lessee shall pay a termination fee “Early Termination Fee”, and the Early Termination Fee shall be delivered to Lessor at least ninety (90) days prior to the applicable Early Termination Date. If the Early Termination Fee is delinquent, then the Lease shall not be terminated until the next following Early Termination Date which is at least 90 days after the Early Termination Fee is paid. The Early Termination Fee shall consist of the sum of: (1) The unamortized portion of Lessor’s out-of-pocket costs (“Lessor’s Work Costs”) incurred in connection with making the Premises available to Lessee pursuant to this Lease (including any expansion and/or increase of the Premises), such costs including but not limited to: costs of completing the tenant improvements, space planning and design fees, contractor’s fees and profits, sales taxes, insurance premiums for builder’s risk insurance in connection with such work, clean-up, computer or other telecommunications cabling work, permit fees, the cost of demolishing existing improvements, if any, leasing fees and commissions, and legal fees. The unamortized portion shall be determined by taking the total of such costs over the term of this Lease, and amortizing them from the date incurred (but not earlier than the Commencement Date) over the remaining initial term of this Lease using an assumed interest rate of eight percent (8%). No later than ninety (90) days after the completion of Lessor’s Work, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a full and complete accounting of Lessor’s Work Costs, including full detail and background documentation reasonably requested by Lessee, for Lessee’s review and approval, together with an amortization schedule based on the final amount of Lessor’s Work Costs. So long as Lessee finds no reasonable basis on which to challenge such accounting or amortization schedule by providing written objection to Lessor within 30 days, this accounting shall be used by Lessee in determining the amount of any Early Termination Fee due hereunder. Plus (2) Seventy-five percent (75%) of the value of the rental abatement associated with the Space Pocket, which value shall be amortized over the final twenty-four (24) months of this Lease. By way of example, if the value of the rental abatement for the Space Pocket is $100,000 and the Early Termination Date is September 30, 2006, the Early Termination Fee shall include an additional $18,750 ($100,000 divided by 24 months, times 6 months then remaining, times 75%) for the value of the rent abatement for the Space Pocket.
