Option to Extend Clause Samples
The "Option to Extend" clause grants one or both parties the right to prolong the duration of an agreement beyond its original term. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions under which the extension can be exercised, such as providing written notice within a specified timeframe or agreeing to certain terms for the extended period. Its core practical function is to provide flexibility and predictability, allowing parties to continue their relationship without renegotiating a new contract, thereby reducing uncertainty and administrative burden.

Option to Extend. (a) Subject to the terms hereof, if (i) during the Term of the Lease there exists no Default of Tenant hereunder (or any event or circumstance which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, and the expiration of all cure rights permitted, would constitute a Default of Tenant), and (ii) Tenant shall not have assigned the Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises, and then actually occupies the entire Premises, and (iii) the Lease is still in full force and effect (any and all of which conditions are for the benefit of, and may be waived by, Landlord), Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term of this Lease for one extended term (the "Extended Term") of five (5) years. The Extended Term shall commence on July 1, 2025, and shall end at 11:59 p.m., Boston time, on June 30, 2030. Tenant shall exercise such option to extend by giving written notice to Landlord not later than June 30, 2024. The giving of such notice by Tenant shall automatically and irrevocably extend the Term of the Lease for the Extended Term, and no instrument of renewal need be executed. In the event that Tenant fails to give such notice to Landlord, the Lease shall automatically terminate on June 30, 2025, and Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of this Lease, it being agreed that time shall be of the essence in the giving of such notice. The Extended Term shall be on all the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the Annual Basic Rent for the Extended Term shall be determined pursuant to paragraph (b) hereof.
(b) The Annual Basic Rent for the first year of the Extended Term shall be the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises (exclusive of the cost of supplying Tenant electricity), to be established as of the commencement of the Extended Term (the "Determination Date"). The term "Fair Market Rental Value" shall mean the annual fixed rent that a willing tenant would pay and a willing landlord would accept, each acting in its own best interest and without duress, in an arms-length lease of the Premises as of the Determination Date. For purposes of determining the Fair Market Rental Value, during the Extended Term, the Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be computed using updated base years, consistent with then-prevailing market practices. If Landlord and Tenant shall fail to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value within six (6) months before the Determination Date, then Landlord and Tenant each shall give notice (the "Det...

Upon expiration of the primary term of this Lease, ---------------- Tenant is granted an option to extend the term of this Lease for three (3) additional sixty (60) month periods, each (each an "extension term") upon the same terms and conditions as are included in this Lease, subject, however, to renegotiation of the rent provided in paragraph 4 of this Lease.

During the following sixty (60) day period, Tenant and Landlord shall negotiate and arrive at an agreement or disagreement of the amount of rent to be paid during the applicable extension term.

Option to Extend. Landlord grants to Tenant the right to extend the Lease Term (“Renewal Option”) for two (2) consecutive periods of five (5) years each (“Option Term”), upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) Tenant must exercise each Renewal Option, if at all, by providing Landlord with written notice thereof at least six (6) months but not more than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration date of the then-current Lease Term (“Renewal Notice”); provided, that Tenant may not exercise such option, or commence occupancy under any extended term if, upon any date any written notice of election to extend is given, or upon the date any extended term would otherwise commence if Tenant is in default under any of the provisions of the Lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods. If Tenant does not provide Landlord with the Renewal Notice as and when herein specified, the Renewal Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. If Tenant exercises a Renewal Option, the Lease Term shall be extended for an additional period of three (3) years upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease, except the Basic Rent and this Renewal Option. The Basic Rent for such Option Term shall be at the then-current “Market Rate” as defined below. Each of the two Renewal Options may be exercised only once and once exercised, such Renewal Option shall not be effective during any subsequent Option Term.
(b) The Renewal Option shall apply to the entire Demised Premises, as amended or expanded as of the commencement date of each Option Term, and may not be exercised as to only a portion of the Demised Premises. Upon exercise of a Renewal Option, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to the Lease memorializing the Basic Rent Amount and any other changed terms and/or conditions of the Lease during such Option Term. If there is a Default by Tenant at any time between the date it exercises a Renewal Option and the date upon which such Option Term is to commence, then Landlord at its option may elect to treat the exercise of such Renewal Option as ineffective in which case this Lease shall terminate upon expiration of the then-current Lease Term.
(c) The Renewal Option is personal to Tenant and in the event of any Transfer by Tenant, whether or not with the consent of Landlord, any Renewal Options which have not been exercised as of the date of such Transfer shall automatically terminate.
(d) The “Market Rate” is a price a willing tenant would pay to a will...
Option to Extend. On the conditions (which conditions LESSOR may waive, at its election, by written notice to LESSEE at any time) that LESSEE is not in default of its covenants and obligations under the Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, both as of the time of exercise of the Option to Extend, as hereinafter defined, and at the commencement of the Extension Period, as hereinafter defined, then LESSEE shall have the right to extend the term hereof (the “Option to Extend”) for one additional term of five years, ending on March 31, 2019 (the “Extension Period’), to commence immediately upon the expiration of the then current term. LESSEE may exercise such Option to Extend by giving written notice to LESSOR (the “Extension Notice”) on or before the date which no less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term. Such Extension Period shall be upon the same terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the Base Rent payable shall be set at the then fair market effective rent for the Leased Premises. In no event, however, shall the Base Rent be less than the then-current Base Rent at the expiration of the current Term. For the purpose of this Section, fair market effective rent shall mean the Base Rent plus such additional financial terms in the nature of rent and rent adjustments customarily then being included in leases for similar space within the greater Waltham area. LESSEE shall, during the Extension Period, continue to pay its proportionate share of LESSOR’s Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs. Said fair market effective rent for the Leased Premises shall be agreed upon by LESSOR and LESSEE; provided, however, if LESSOR and LESSEE are unable to agree on said fair market effective rent within thirty (30) days of the date of the Extension Notice, said fair market effective rent shall be conclusively determined by three (3) appraisers. Within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, LESSOR and LESSEE shall each select an appraiser, who shall select a third. Should the two appraisers fail to agree on a third within fifteen (15) days of the date on which such appraisers have been appointed, or if either LESSOR or LESSEE shall fail to appoint an appraiser within the time provided, such appraiser shall be appointed by the American Institute of Appraisers. Each party shall bear the cost of the appraiser selected by such party, and the cost of the third appraiser shall be shared equally by LESSOR and LESSEE. I...
