Option to Expand On or before expiration of the sixth (6th) month of the term, Tenant shall be required to lease the remainder 3,942 square feet of Rentable Space on the third (3rd) floor, at the same rental rate then being paid for the initial Premises. In addition, Tenant will have the right to expand during the first 6 months by leasing the approximately 15,165 square feet of Rental Space on the fourth (4th) floor (the “4th Floor Space”) as identified on Exhibit “B-1” attached to this Lease and incorporated herein by reference at the same rental rate then being paid in the initial Premises; provided, however, Landlord will continue to keep the 4th Floor Space available for lease to Tenant for one additional period of three (3) months (a total of nine months following the commencement date), but if Tenant elects to lease the 4th Floor Space between the expiration of the sixth (6) month and commencement of the ninth (9th) month following commencement of the Lease, the rental rate shall be increased by twenty-five cents (.25¢) per square foot, and Tenant improvements dollars will decline on a pro rata basis based on the remaining length of the term. If the Tenant does not elect to lease the fourth (4th) floor space during the initial nine (9) months following commencement of the Lease, Tenant shall have the right of first refusal to lease the 4th Floor Space in the event that Landlord receives an offer to lease the space, and any such right of first refusal shall be on the exact terms received and approved by Landlord from a third party offering to lease the 4th Floor Space. Tenant shall have the option to lease at then current market rental rates any additional space which is available in 5,000 rsf increments consisting of the area which is available on the second (2nd) and fifth (5th) floors designated and referred to as the “Expansion Space”, at any time during the lease term (the “Effective Date”) and ending on the expiration of the Lease Term (unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and subject to any rights of extension contained in this Lease) by delivering written notice to Landlord, provided that at the time of such notice and on the Effective Date, no event of default, as defined in Paragraph 25 of this Lease, shall have occurred and remain uncured beyond any applicable cure period. Once Tenant shall exercise an expansion option, Tenant may not thereafter revoke such exercise. Tenant’s failure to timely exercise an expansion option for any reason whatsoever shall conclusively be deemed a waiver of such expansion option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s option shall be subject to a determination by Landlord, in Landlord’s discretion, that Tenant’s financial condition at the time it makes such election is sufficient to meet its financial obligation associated with the Offered Space.

NYISO, Connecting Transmission Owner and Developer must agree as to what constitutes Stand Alone System Upgrade Facilities and identify such Stand Alone System Upgrade Facilities in Appendix A hereto. Except for Stand Alone System Upgrade Facilities, Developer shall have no right to construct System Upgrade Facilities under this option.

If an assignment cannot be made of any such leases, the Receiver may, in its discretion, enter into subleases with the Assuming Institution containing the same terms and conditions provided under such existing leases for such leased Bank Premises or other property. The Assuming Institution shall give notice to the Receiver within the option period of its election to accept or not to accept an assignment of any or all leases (or enter into subleases or new leases in lieu thereof). The Assuming Institution agrees to assume all leases assigned (or enter into subleases or new leases in lieu thereof) pursuant to this Section 4.6. If the Assuming Institution gives notice of its election not to accept an assignment of a lease for one or more of the leased Bank Premises within seven (7) days of Bank Closing, then, not withstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Assuming Institution shall not be liable for any of the costs or fees associated with appraisals for the Fixtures, Furniture and Equipment located on such leased Bank Premises.
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.
Option to Purchase Subject to Section 3.5, the Receiver hereby grants to the Assuming Institution an exclusive option for the period of ninety (90) days commencing the day after Bank Closing to purchase any or all owned Bank Premises, including all Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment located on the Bank Premises. The Assuming Institution shall give written notice to the Receiver within the option period of its election to purchase or not to purchase any of the owned Bank Premises. Any purchase of such premises shall be effective as of the date of Bank Closing and such purchase shall be consummated as soon as practicable thereafter, and in no event later than the Settlement Date. If the Assuming Institution gives notice of its election not to purchase one or more of the owned Bank Premises within seven (7) days of Bank Closing, then, not withstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Assuming Institution shall not be liable for any of the costs or fees associated with appraisals for such Bank Premises and associated Fixtures, Furniture and Equipment.
