Exclusive Option to Lease Clause Samples

The Exclusive Option to Lease clause grants one party the sole right to enter into a lease agreement for a specified property within a defined period. Typically, this means the property owner cannot negotiate or lease the property to any other party during the option period, and the potential tenant may need to pay an option fee or meet certain conditions to exercise the option. This clause ensures that the interested party has a guaranteed opportunity to lease the property, providing certainty and time to finalize their decision while preventing the owner from leasing to others during the option term.

  • 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 RENEW Landlord grants to Tenant an option to extend the Lease Term for three (3) additional terms of five (5) years each (the “Extended Term”), commencing on the expiration date of the original Lease Term, upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, except as provided in this Section with respect to Base Rent; provided, however, that no Event of Default by Tenant has occurred that has not been cured at any time such option is to be exercised. The Base Rent for the Extended Term shall equal the Market Rate for the Premises in “as is” condition, which shall be determined within thirty (30) days after Tenant exercises its option to extend the Lease Term. The Base Rent shall be determined for the entire Premises, including the Expansion Premises, if applicable. The Base Rent may be adjusted upwards, but in no event shall be adjusted downwards from the preceding year’s Base Rent, based on the determination of the Market Rate applicable to the Premises. The Base Rent for the entire Premises, including the Expansion Premises if applicable, during any Extended Term shall increase in accordance with the amount determined at the time the Market Rate is set, which shall be at least [***] per twelve (12) month period. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree [***]: Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions. on a Market Rate for the Extended Term within the above-stated thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of the name of an appraiser selected by Tenant to determine the Market Rate for the Premises. Within fifteen (15) days after Tenant provides such notice, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant of the name of an appraiser selected by Landlord to determine the Market Rate for the Premises. The two appraisers shall then jointly determine the Market Rate for the Premises for the Extended Term and provide a written report of same to Landlord and Tenant. If the two appraisers cannot agree on a Market Rate for the Premises within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives notice from Landlord identifying its appraiser, then the two appraisers shall jointly select a third appraiser, which third appraiser shall solely determine the Market Rate for the Extended Term and provide a written report of same to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days of his or selection. Such determination of the Market Rate by the third appraiser shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall pay the cost of its appraiser and one-half (1/2) the cost of the third appraiser. The appraisers shall be M.A.I. appraisers unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree in writing. If Landlord fails to choose an appraiser as provided above, then the appraiser chosen by Tenant shall be deemed to be acceptable to Landlord. If Tenant fails to choose an appraiser as provided above, then the appraiser chosen by Landlord shall be deemed to be acceptable to Tenant. Should Tenant elect to exercise any option for an Extended Term, Tenant shall do so by providing written notice to Landlord at least twelve (12) months before the expiration of the Lease Term or the then current Extended Term for which an option has been exercised. If Tenant does not exercise an option to extend the Lease Term or the then Extended Term within the period allowed, all unexercised options to renew shall be null, void and of no further force or effect. No later than fifteen (15) months prior to the date Tenant desires to exercise the option to extend the Lease Term or the then Extended Term, Tenant may (but is not obligated to) make a written request to Landlord to provide Tenant with Landlord’s proposed Market Rate (as that term is defined below) for the Extended Term. If Tenant makes such a request, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with Landlord’s proposed Market Rate (as well as copy of any third party, non-confidential information Landlord used in determining the proposed Market Rate) no later than thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written request. If Tenant properly exercises the option to extend the Lease Term or the then Extended Term, then prior to the date Tenant is required to identify an appraiser (as set forth in this Section) Tenant may (but is not obligated to) provide Landlord with written notice that Tenant accepts the proposed Market Rate as the Market Rate for the Extended Term, in which case that shall be the Market Rate. If Tenant does not provide Landlord with a written notice that Tenant accepts the proposed Market Rate as the Market Rate for the Extended Term during the time period specified in the foregoing sentence, the parties shall either negotiate a mutually agreeable Market Rate, or if they are unable to do so, the parties shall pursue the appraisal process outlined in this Section. The Market Rate and related information provided by Landlord to Tenant under this paragraph shall be treated as confidential by Tenant, shall not be disclosed by Tenant to any third party and shall not be used by Tenant or any appraiser to advocate for or set the Market Rate.

  • Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, in the event Tenant contemplates a Transfer other than to a Permitted Transferee which, together with all prior Transfers then remaining in effect, would cause fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises to be Transferred for more than fifty percent (50%) of the then remaining Lease Term (taking into account any extension of the Lease Term which has irrevocably exercised by Tenant), Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the “Intention to Transfer Notice”) of such contemplated Transfer (whether or not the contemplated Transferee or the terms of such contemplated Transfer have been determined). The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of and amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to Transfer in the subject Transfer (the “Contemplated Transfer Space”), the contemplated date of commencement of the Contemplated Transfer (the “Contemplated Effective Date”), and the contemplated length of the term of such contemplated Transfer. Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Intention to Transfer Notice, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Such recapture shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such Contemplated Transfer Space as of the Contemplated Effective Date. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner, to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space under this Section 14.4, then, subject to the other terms of this Article 14, for a period of nine (9) months (the “Nine Month Period”) commencing on the last day of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not have any right to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any Transfer made during the Nine Month Period, provided that any such Transfer is substantially on the terms set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice, and provided further that any such Transfer shall be subject to the remaining terms of this Article 14. If such a Transfer is not so consummated within the Nine Month Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any Transfer of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such Nine Month Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect any contemplated Transfer, as provided above in this Section 14.4. Tenant shall not be required to provide a separate Intention to Transfer Notice and Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to a Transfer shall satisfy Tenant’s obligations in this Section 14.4.

  • 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.
