Termination Option. (i) From and after the occurrence of a Termination Trigger (as defined below) with respect to the Property, but in any case, no later than sixty (60) days following the date of such occurrence, Tenant will have the option to terminate this Lease by sending to Landlord a written notice (a “Termination Notice”) stating that Tenant desires to terminate this Lease, together with reasonable documentation evidencing that a Termination Trigger has occurred and is continuing as of the date of such Termination Notice (including, without limitation, copies of paid invoices, lien releases (in statutory form, if applicable) and a rent roll). A “Termination Trigger” will have occurred when the development or redevelopment of the Property has been substantially completed (if applicable) and the Property has reached at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy for a minimum period of twelve (12) consecutive months (“Stabilization”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Current FMV of the Property as of the date the Termination Trigger occurs is less than the Lease Commencement FMV, then Tenant will not have a right or option to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 2(b) and this Lease will continue in full force and effect, and in accordance with the terms hereof. (ii) In the event that Landlord disputes that a Termination Trigger has occurred or that such Termination Trigger is continuing as of the date the Termination Notice is sent to Landlord, Landlord will send to Tenant a Dispute Notice (as defined in and pursuant to Section 26(b)) containing an explanation of such dispute within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Termination Notice. If, following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a Dispute Notice, the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Parties will proceed to arbitration to resolve such dispute, in accordance with the terms of Section 26; provided, however, that the Parties will endeavor to conclude any such arbitration within thirty (30) days (e.g., the arbitrators will be selected within ten (10) days and the hearing will be held and the decision rendered within twenty (20) days thereafter) or, if possible, by the Termination Date (as defined below), and the decision rendered thereby will be final, binding and non-appealable. If any such arbitration concludes on or prior to the applicable Termination Date, this Lease will terminate on such Termination Date. In the event that any arbitration has not concluded on or before the applicable Termination Date, (a) Tenant will pay all rent amounts due after such date into an escrow account (which rent amounts will be paid over to Landlord in the event the arbitration is decided in favor of Landlord, or returned to Tenant in the event the arbitration is decided in favor of Tenant), and (b) if the arbitration is decided in favor of Tenant, Landlord will reimburse Tenant for all other expenses incurred in the ordinary course in connection with the Property (e.g., property management fees, repair and maintenance costs, taxes, assessments, etc.) from the first day following the Termination Date until and including the date on which this Lease actually terminates, which date will be fifteen (15) days following the date on which the arbitration decision is rendered. Failure to send a Dispute Notice within the thirty (30) day period following Landlord’s receipt of the Termination Notice will be deemed an approval by Landlord to terminate this Lease. (iii) Upon the affirmative or deemed approval of Landlord to terminate this Lease, the Parties will mutually collaborate to effect the termination of this Lease, which termination will be effective on the last day of the month in which occurs the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of delivery to Landlord of the Termination Notice (the “Termination Date”). (iv) On or prior to the Termination Date, Landlord has the right, but not the obligation, to pay Tenant the Added Improvement Value Payment (as defined below) for this Lease. The “Added Improvement Value Payment” will be the amount calculated as of the Termination Date pursuant to the following formula: ninety-five percent (95%) of the resulting difference of (A) the Current FMV (as hereinafter defined) of the Property (taking into account the value-add after the development or redevelopment and/or lease up thereof), less (B) ($ ), being the fair market value of the Property immediately prior to the Commencement Date (the “Lease Commencement FMV”). As used herein, “Current FMV” means, as of any date of determination, the then-current fair market value of the Property, which shall be determined pursuant to the following procedures: Upon commencing discussions regarding the same, the Parties shall collaborate in an effort to mutually agree on the then-current fair market value of the Property. If the Parties do not reach mutual agreement within thirty (30) days of commencing such discussions, then within five (5) business days following the end of such thirty (30)-day period, each of the Parties will give notice to the other specifying the name and address of an appraiser; any such appraiser shall be an independent appraiser or valuation specialist or investment banker who is qualified to appraise property similar to the Property and is either a member of the Appraisal Institute (or any successor association or body of comparable standing if such Institute is not then in existence) or is a recognized valuation professional within the multifamily residential real estate industry, and has been actively engaged in the appraisal of multifamily residential properties for a period of not less than ten (10) years, immediately preceding its appointment under this Lease (any such appraiser, valuation specialist or investment banker meeting such standards shall be an “Appraiser”). The two Appraisers so chosen will meet within ten (10) days after notice of the selection of the second Appraiser and will endeavor to agree on the Current FMV. If, within fifteen (15) days after such notice, the two Appraisers do not agree unanimously on the Current FMV, the two Appraisers will together appoint a third Appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”). Within ten (10) days following the selection of the Third Appraiser, each of the first two Appraisers will submit his or her designation of the Current FMV to the Third Appraiser in writing; and, within five (5) days following the earlier of the expiration of such ten (10) day period and the date by which both designations have been submitted to the Third Appraiser, the Third Appraiser shall choose one of the designations presented, according to its determination of which such designation most comports with its assessment of the Current FMV (thereafter, such chosen designation being the Current FMV for all purposes hereunder). Any failure of an Appraiser to timely deliver its designation of the Current FMV in accordance herewith shall be deemed for all purposes to constitute acceptance of the other Appraiser’s timely designation of the Current FMV. The Parties agree that the fees and expenses of each of the first and second Appraiser shall be borne by the Party who appointed such Appraiser, and the fees and expenses of the Third Appraiser shall be paid by the Party whose Appraiser’s designation is not chosen by the Third Appraiser. (v) If Landlord declines to pay Tenant the Added Improvement Value Payment hereunder, then this Lease will terminate and Tenant will have the right to cause a forced sale of Landlord’s fee interest in the Property. Any proceeds received from such forced sale will be paid first to Landlord, in an amount equal to the Lease Commencement FMV, and then any proceeds remaining thereafter will be paid to Tenant. In connection with any forced sale, Tenant will manage the process thereof, determine the sale price of the Property (which will be an arms’-length third party sale that maximizes the value of the Property) and negotiate the terms of the sale documentation, using the form of purchase and sale agreement attached hereto as Schedule 2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may be the purchaser of the Property at the forced sale, provided that in such event, Tenant shall pay a purchase price equal to the Lease Commencement FMV at such sale; and provided further, that, for the period of time commencing on the date of such sale and expiring on the one (1) year anniversary thereof, in the event Tenant subsequently intends to sell the Property pursuant to an offer received from a third party, for a gross purchase price that is less than the sum of (1) the Added Improvement Value Payment and (2) the Lease Commencement FMV, that Tenant is willing to accept (an “Offer”), then Landlord shall have a right of first refusal (a “ROFR”) with respect to any such sale of the Property. (vi) In the event Tenant receives an Offer, Tenant will send Landlord a written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) detailing the material terms of the Offer (including purchase price and closing date), upon receipt of which Landlord will have thirty (30) days to accept or reject such Offer (or such shorter time as such Offer may permit) by delivering to Tenant written notice of the same. If Landlord timely delivers a written notice to Tenant that it intends to exercise its ROFR and proceed with the acquisition of the Property (an “Acceptance Notice”), Landlord will pay Tenant the purchase price set forth in the Offer (the “ROFR Purchase Price”), and the Parties will close on such ROFR pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, which shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2, as modified to reflect the terms of the Offer. To the extent any closing mechanics applicable to the sale of the ROFR Property are not set forth in the Offer, the Parties shall apply the closing mechanics set forth in paragraph (vii) below. If Landlord expressly declines to exercise its ROFR or otherwise fails to timely exercise its ROFR, Tenant may proceed with the transfer of the Property with the third party making the Offer on substantially the same terms as those set forth therein. If the transfer to such third party has not been consummated on all such terms within one hundred eighty (180) days of Landlord so declining (or having been deemed to so decline) to exercise its ROFR, the ROFR will be reinstated in accordance with the terms hereof. (vii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and the Parties proceed to a sale of the Property, Landlord shall be required to make an ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money deposit (the “ROFR Deposit”) in an amount equivalent to three percent (3%) of the ROFR Purchase Price. The ROFR Deposit shall be delivered within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of the Acceptance Notice, by transfer of immediately available funds to a national title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Tenant, who shall perform the services of escrow agent for the closing of the Property. The ROFR Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Landlord (except in the event of a material default of Tenant in performing its closing obligations pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement for the transaction). The closing shall take place on the date set forth in the ROFR Notice (or on such earlier date as the Parties may mutually agree) (the “ROFR Closing Date”) and shall be completed through a customary closing escrow or held at the principal office of Tenant or such other location as the Parties shall agree upon at least five (5) Business Days prior to the ROFR Closing Date. The ROFR Purchase Price shall be paid in immediately available funds and Tenant shall convey good and marketable title (or other valid interests held by Tenant) in the subject ROFR Property to Landlord or its designee free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. If required by Landlord, all contracts and agreements between Tenant and any of its Affiliates in respect of the Property shall be terminated effective as of the ROFR Closing Date. Each Party agrees to cooperate and to take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to reflect the acquisition of the Property by Landlord (or its designee) pursuant to the terms hereof. The cost of any title insurance policy endorsements desired by Landlord shall be paid by Landlord. All other costs shall be borne by the Party who customarily bears such costs in the city and state in which the Property is located. Any risk of casualty, condemnation or loss following the date that the Acceptance Notice is delivered to Tenant and prior to the ROFR Closing Date shall be borne by Landlord, who shall succeed to all rights to insurance proceeds (other than loss of rent proceeds allocable to any period prior to the ROFR Closing Date) or condemnation awards. If the Parties fail to consummate the sale of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof within one hundred eighty days (180) of the date of the ROFR Notice, then Landlord shall no longer have a ROFR with respect to the Property and Tenant may proceed to sell, or cause the sale, of the Property to a third party (subject to the terms hereof). (viii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and proceeds to the acquisition of the Property (a “ROFR Closing”), then, solely with respect to the period of time commencing on the date on which Tenant acquired the Property pursuant to paragraph (v) above (the “Applicable Tax Period”), the following provisions shall apply: Landlord shall assume and agree to pay so much of the real estate taxes and other taxes in respect of the Property assessed for and first becoming a lien during the calendar year in which such ROFR Closing occurs (the “Current Year Taxes”) as shall be allocable to Landlord by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year on and after such date of the ROFR Closing). Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid (i) all delinquent real estate taxes as of the date of the ROFR Closing (to the extent incurred during the Applicable Tax Period) and (ii) so much of the Current Year Taxes as shall be allocable to Tenant (or its applicable Affiliate) by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year prior to the date of the ROFR Closing). Any Taxes which are payable in the calendar year in which a ROFR Closing occurs but are not due and payable at the time of such ROFR Closing and the portion of the Current Year Taxes not assumed by Landlord hereunder shall be credited to Landlord through a credit against the ROFR Purchase Price at the ROFR Closing reflected on the applicable closing statement. If the Current Year Taxes with respect to the Property have not been set as of the date thereof, the present tax rate and the most recent assessed valuation for the Property shall be used for the purposes of making the adjustments at such ROFR Closing under this paragraph and the Parties shall re-prorate within thirty (30) days following receipt of the actual final tax ▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute (with Landlord’s reasonable cooperation after the ROFR Closing, at no expense or liability to Landlord) and retain any recovery in connection with any tax appeals or contests with respect to taxes assessed against the Property for tax periods prior to the tax period that includes the ROFR Closing Date, provided such recovery action will not result in a deferral of taxes or reassessment against the Property that negatively affects Landlord. (ix) If a lender or third-party consent is required in connection with the termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 2, Tenant will bear the responsibility of obtaining such consent and Tenant will pay all costs incurred in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

If the Parties do not reach mutual agreement within thirty (30) days of commencing such discussions, then within five (5) business days following the end of such thirty (30)-day period, each of the Parties will give notice to the other specifying the name and address of an appraiser; any such appraiser shall be an independent appraiser or valuation specialist or investment banker who is qualified to appraise property similar to the Property and is either a member of the Appraisal Institute (or any successor association or body of comparable standing if such Institute is not then in existence) or is a recognized valuation professional within the multifamily residential real estate industry, and has been actively engaged in the appraisal of multifamily residential properties for a period of not less than ten (10) years, immediately preceding its appointment under this Lease (any such appraiser, valuation specialist or investment banker meeting such standards shall be an “Appraiser”). The two Appraisers so chosen will meet within ten (10) days after notice of the selection of the second Appraiser and will endeavor to agree on the Current FMV. If, within fifteen (15) days after such notice, the two Appraisers do not agree unanimously on the Current FMV, the two Appraisers will together 5 NTD: AIMCO to advise of the fair market value of the applicable Property at the time of lease commencement, with such number to be input in the space provided here. appoint a third Appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”).

Any failure of an Appraiser to timely deliver its designation of the Current FMV in accordance herewith shall be deemed for all purposes to constitute acceptance of the other Appraiser’s timely designation of the Current FMV. The Parties agree that the fees and expenses of each of the first and second Appraiser shall be borne by the Party who appointed such Appraiser, and the fees and expenses of the Third Appraiser shall be paid by the Party whose Appraiser’s designation is not chosen by the Third Appraiser.

Any proceeds received from such forced sale will be paid first to Landlord, in an amount equal to the Lease Commencement FMV, and then any proceeds remaining thereafter will be paid to Tenant. In connection with any forced sale, Tenant will manage the process thereof, determine the sale price of the Property (which will be an arms’-length third party sale that maximizes the value of the Property) and negotiate the terms of the sale documentation, using the form of purchase and sale agreement attached hereto as Schedule 2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may be the purchaser of the Property at the forced sale, provided that in such event, Tenant shall pay a purchase price equal to the Lease Commencement FMV at such sale; and provided further, that, for the period of time commencing on the date of such sale and expiring on the one (1) year anniversary thereof, in the event Tenant subsequently intends to sell the Property pursuant to an offer received from a third party, for a gross purchase price that is less than the sum of (1) the Added Improvement Value Payment and (2) the Lease Commencement FMV, that Tenant is willing to accept (an “Offer”), then Landlord shall have a right of first refusal (a “ROFR”) with respect to any such sale of the Property.
(vi) In the event Tenant receives an Offer, Tenant will send Landlord a written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) detailing the material terms of the Offer (including purchase price and closing date), upon receipt of which Landlord will have thirty (30) days to accept or reject such Offer (or such shorter time as such Offer may permit) by delivering to Tenant written notice of the same. If Landlord timely delivers a written notice to Tenant that it intends to exercise its ROFR and proceed with the acquisition of the Property (an “Acceptance Notice”), Landlord will pay Tenant the purchase price set forth in the Offer (the “ROFR Purchase Price”), and the Parties will close on such ROFR pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, which shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2, as modified to reflect the terms of the Offer. To the extent any closing mechanics applicable to the sale of the ROFR Property are not set forth in the Offer, the Parties shall apply the closing mechanics set forth in paragraph (vii) below. If Landlord expressly declines to exercise its ROFR or otherwise fails to timely exercise its ROFR, Tenant may proceed with the transfer of the Property with the third party making the Offer on substantially the same terms as those set forth therein. If the transfer to such third party has not been consummated on all such terms within one hundred eighty (180) days of Landlord so declining (or having been deemed to so decline) to exercise its ROFR, the ROFR will be reinstated in accordance with the terms hereof.

If the Parties fail to consummate the sale of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof within one hundred eighty days (180) of the date of the ROFR Notice, then Landlord shall no longer have a ROFR with respect to the Property and Tenant may proceed to sell, or cause the sale, of the Property to a third party (subject to the terms hereof).

Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid (i) all delinquent real estate taxes as of the date of the ROFR Closing (to the extent incurred during the Applicable Tax Period) and (ii) so much of the Current Year Taxes as shall be allocable to Tenant (or its applicable Affiliate) by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year prior to the date of the ROFR Closing). Any Taxes which are payable in the calendar year in which a ROFR Closing occurs but are not due and payable at the time of such ROFR Closing and the portion of the Current Year Taxes not assumed by Landlord hereunder shall be credited to Landlord through a credit against the ROFR Purchase Price at the ROFR Closing reflected on the applicable closing statement. If the Current Year Taxes with respect to the Property have not been set as of the date thereof, the present tax rate and the most recent assessed valuation for the Property shall be used for the purposes of making the adjustments at such ROFR Closing under this paragraph and the Parties shall re-prorate within thirty (30) days following receipt of the actual final tax ▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute (with Landlord’s reasonable cooperation after the ROFR Closing, at no expense or liability to Landlord) and retain any recovery in connection with any tax appeals or contests with respect to taxes assessed against the Property for tax periods prior to the tax period that includes the ROFR Closing Date, provided such recovery action will not result in a deferral of taxes or reassessment against the Property that negatively affects Landlord.
(ix) If a lender or third-party consent is required in connection with the termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 2, Tenant will bear the responsibility of obtaining such consent and Tenant will pay all costs incurred in connection therewith.

(vi) In the event Tenant receives an Offer, Tenant will send Landlord a written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) detailing the material terms of the Offer (including purchase price and closing date), upon receipt of which Landlord will have thirty (30) days to accept or reject such Offer (or such shorter time as such Offer may permit) by delivering to Tenant written notice of the same. If Landlord timely delivers a written notice to Tenant that it intends to exercise its ROFR and proceed with the acquisition of the Property (an “Acceptance Notice”), Landlord will pay Tenant the purchase price set forth in the Offer (the “ROFR Purchase Price”), and the Parties will close on such ROFR pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, which shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2, as modified to reflect the terms of the Offer. To the extent any closing mechanics applicable to the sale of the ROFR Property are not set forth in the Offer, the Parties shall apply the closing mechanics set forth in paragraph (vii) below. If Landlord expressly declines to exercise its ROFR or otherwise fails to timely exercise its ROFR, Tenant may proceed with the transfer of the Property with the third party making the Offer on substantially the same terms as those set forth therein. If the transfer to such third party has not been consummated on all such terms within one hundred eighty (180) days of Landlord so declining (or having been deemed to so decline) to exercise its ROFR, the ROFR will be reinstated in accordance with the terms hereof.
(vii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and the Parties proceed to a sale of the Property, Landlord shall be required to make an ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money deposit (the “ROFR Deposit”) in an amount equivalent to three percent (3%) of the ROFR Purchase Price. The ROFR Deposit shall be delivered within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of the Acceptance Notice, by transfer of immediately available funds to a national title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Tenant, who shall perform the services of escrow agent for the closing of the Property. The ROFR Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Landlord (except in the event of a material default of Tenant in performing its closing obligations pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement for the transaction). The closing shall take place on the date set forth in the ROFR Notice (or on such earlier date as the Parties may mutually agree) (the “ROFR Closing Date”) and shall be completed through a customary closing escrow or held at the principal office of Tenant or such other location as the Parties shall agree upon at least five (5) Business Days prior to the ROFR Closing Date. The ROFR Purchase Price shall be paid in immediately available funds and Tenant shall convey good and marketable title (or other valid interests held by Tenant) in the subject ROFR Property to Landlord or its designee free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. If required by Landlord, all contracts and agreements between Tenant and any of its Affiliates in respect of the Property shall be terminated effective as of the ROFR Closing Date. Each Party agrees to cooperate and to take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to reflect the acquisition of the Property by Landlord (or its designee) pursuant to the terms hereof. The cost of any title insurance policy endorsements desired by Landlord shall be paid by Landlord. All other costs shall be borne by the Party who customarily bears such costs in the city and state in which the Property is located. Any risk of casualty, condemnation or loss following the date that the Acceptance Notice is delivered to Tenant and prior to the ROFR Closing Date shall be borne by Landlord, who shall succeed to all rights to insurance proceeds (other than loss of rent proceeds allocable to any period prior to the ROFR Closing Date) or condemnation awards. If the Parties fail to consummate the sale of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof within one hundred eighty days (180) of the date of the ROFR Notice, then Landlord shall no longer have a ROFR with respect to the Property and Tenant may proceed to sell, or cause the sale, of the Property to a third party (subject to the terms hereof).
(viii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and proceeds to the acquisition of the Property (a “ROFR Closing”), then, solely with respect to the period of time commencing on the date on which Tenant acquired the Property pursuant to paragraph (v) above (the “Applicable Tax Period”), the following provisions shall apply: Landlord shall assume and agree to pay so much of the real estate taxes and other taxes in respect of the Property assessed for and first becoming a lien during the calendar year in which such ROFR Closing occurs (the “Current Year Taxes”) as shall be allocable to Landlord by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year on and after such date of the ROFR Closing). Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid (i) all delinquent real estate taxes as of the date of the ROFR Closing (to the extent incurred during the Applicable Tax Period) and (ii) so much of the Current Year Taxes as shall be allocable to Tenant (or its applicable Affiliate) by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year prior to the date of the ROFR Closing). Any Taxes which are payable in the calendar year in which a ROFR Closing occurs but are not due and payable at the time of such ROFR Closing and the portion of the Current Year Taxes not assumed by Landlord hereunder shall be credited to Landlord through a credit against the ROFR Purchase Price at the ROFR Closing reflected on the applicable closing statement. If the Current Year Taxes with respect to the Property have not been set as of the date thereof, the present tax rate and the most recent assessed valuation for the Property shall be used for the purposes of making the adjustments at such ROFR Closing under this paragraph and the Parties shall re-prorate within thirty (30) days following receipt of the actual final tax ▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute terminate the Lease, but only with respect to the Seventh Additional Vivarium Premises (with and no less than all of the Seventh Additional Vivarium Premises), by providing written notice (the “Seventh Additional Vivarium Termination Notice”) to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to Tenant’s desired termination date (the “Seventh Additional Vivarium Termination Date”), which Seventh Additional Vivarium Termination Date shall be set forth in the Seventh Additional Vivarium Termination Notice.

Termination Option. (i) From and after the occurrence of a Termination Trigger (as defined below) with respect to the Property, but in any case, no later than sixty (60) days following the date of such occurrence, Tenant will have the option to terminate this Lease by sending to Landlord a written notice (a “Termination Notice”) stating that Tenant desires to terminate this Lease, together with reasonable documentation evidencing that a Termination Trigger has occurred and is continuing as of the date of such Termination Notice (including, without limitation, copies of paid invoices, lien releases (in statutory form, if applicable) and a rent roll). A “Termination Trigger” will have occurred when the development or redevelopment of the Property has been substantially completed (if applicable) and the Property has reached at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy for a minimum period of twelve (12) consecutive months (“Stabilization”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Current FMV of the Property as of the date the Termination Trigger occurs is less than the Lease Commencement FMV, then Tenant will not have a right or option to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 2(b) and this Lease will continue in full force and effect, and in accordance with the terms hereof.
(ii) In the event that Landlord disputes that a Termination Trigger has occurred or that such Termination Trigger is continuing as of the date the Termination Notice is sent to Landlord, Landlord will send to Tenant a Dispute Notice (as defined in and pursuant to Section 26(b)) containing an explanation of such dispute within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Termination Notice. If, following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a Dispute Notice, the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Parties will proceed to arbitration to resolve such dispute, in accordance with the terms of Section 26; provided, however, that the Parties will endeavor to conclude any such arbitration within thirty (30) days (e.g., the arbitrators will be selected within ten (10) days and the hearing will be held and the decision rendered within twenty (20) days thereafter) or, if possible, by the Termination Date (as defined below), and the decision rendered thereby will be final, binding and non-appealable. If any such arbitration concludes on or prior to the applicable Termination Date, and the arbitration (A) is decided in favor of Tenant, then this Lease will terminate on such Termination Date, or (B) is decided in favor of Landlord, then this Lease will continue in full force and effect, as though the applicable Termination Notice had not been sent (provided, that if the Base Rent increased (in accordance with Section 3(a)(ii)) on the basis that Stabilization had occurred, and it is determined that Stabilization did not occur, then Tenant shall receive a rent credit for any overpayment of Base Rent by Tenant due to such increase). In the event that any arbitration has not concluded on or before the applicable Termination Date, the following terms shall apply: (a1) Tenant will pay all rent Rent amounts due after such Termination Date, through and including the date on which the arbitration concludes, into an escrow account account; (which rent amounts will be paid over to Landlord in the event the arbitration is decided in favor of Landlord, or returned to Tenant in the event the arbitration is decided in favor of Tenant), and (b2) if the arbitration is decided in favor of Tenant, then, on the date which is fifteen (15) days following the date on which the arbitration decision is rendered (the “Final Termination Date”), (a) this Lease will terminate, (b) the escrowed Rent amounts will be returned to Tenant, (c) Landlord will reimburse Tenant for all other expenses incurred in the ordinary course in connection with the Property (e.g., property management fees, repair and maintenance costs, taxes, assessments, debt service payments and related fees paid by Tenant to any Leasehold Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined) (to the extent any such payments or fees are incurred solely on account of the indebtedness secured by the Leasehold Mortgage being repaid on or about the Final Termination Date instead of on the Termination Date (as set forth in the Termination Notice), etc.) from during the period commencing on the first day following the Termination Date until and including ending on the date on which Final Termination Date (such period, the “Termination Extension Period”) and (d) Tenant will pay over to Landlord the aggregate amount of any rent amounts or other income collected from occupants of the Property during, and attributable to, the Termination Extension Period or any portion thereof; and (3) if the arbitration is decided in favor of Landlord, then (a) this Lease actually terminateswill continue in full force and effect, which date will be fifteen as though the applicable Termination Notice had not been sent, and, (15b) days within three (3) Business Days following the date on which the arbitration decision is rendered, the escrowed Rent amounts will be paid to Landlord (provided, that if the Base Rent increased (in accordance with Section 3(a)(ii)) on the basis that Stabilization had occurred, and it is determined that Stabilization did not occur, then Tenant shall receive a rent credit for any overpayment of Base Rent by Tenant due to such increase). Failure to send a Dispute Notice within the thirty (30) day period following Landlord’s receipt of the Termination Notice will be deemed an approval by Landlord to terminate this Lease.
(iii) Upon the affirmative or deemed approval of Landlord to terminate this Lease, the Parties will mutually collaborate to effect the termination of this Lease, which termination will be effective on the last day of the month in which occurs the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of delivery to Landlord of the Termination Notice (the “Termination Date”).
(iv) On or prior to the Termination Date, Landlord has the right, but not the obligation, to pay Tenant the Added Improvement Value Payment (as defined below) for this Lease. The “Added Improvement Value Payment” will be the amount calculated as of the Termination Date pursuant to the following formula: ninety-five percent (95%) of the resulting difference of (A) the Current FMV (as hereinafter defined) of the Property (taking into account both the value-add after the development or redevelopment and/or lease up thereofthereof and any market fluctuations then in effect), less (B) Sixty Million Nine Hundred Twelve Thousand Three Hundred Sixty-Five and 00/100 Dollars ($ $60,912,365.00), being the fair market value of the Property immediately prior to the Commencement Date (the “Lease Commencement FMV”). As used herein, “Current FMV” means, as of any date of determination, the then-current fair market value of the Property, which shall be determined pursuant to the following procedures: Upon commencing discussions regarding the same, the Parties shall collaborate in an effort to mutually agree on the then-current fair market value of the Property. If the Parties do not reach mutual agreement within thirty (30) days of commencing such discussions, then within five (5) business days following the end of such thirty (30)-day period, each of the Parties will give notice to the other specifying the name and address of an appraiser; any such appraiser shall be an independent appraiser or valuation specialist or investment banker who is qualified to appraise property similar to the Property and is either a member of the Appraisal Institute (or any successor association or body of comparable standing if such Institute is not then in existence) or is a recognized valuation professional within the multifamily residential real estate industry, and has been actively engaged in the appraisal of multifamily residential properties for a period of not less than ten (10) years, immediately preceding its appointment under this Lease (any such appraiser, valuation specialist or investment banker meeting such standards shall be an “Appraiser”). The two Appraisers so chosen will meet within ten (10) days after notice of the selection of the second Appraiser and will endeavor to agree on the Current FMV. If, within fifteen (15) days after such notice, the two Appraisers do not agree unanimously on the Current FMV, the two Appraisers will together appoint a third Appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”). Within ten (10) days following the selection of the Third Appraiser, each of the first two Appraisers will submit his or her designation of the Current FMV to the Third Appraiser in writing; and, within five (5) days following the earlier of the expiration of such ten (10) day period and the date by which both designations have been submitted to the Third Appraiser, the Third Appraiser shall choose one of the designations presented, according to its determination of which such designation most comports with its assessment of the Current FMV (thereafter, such chosen designation being the Current FMV for all purposes hereunder). Any failure of an Appraiser to timely deliver its designation of the Current FMV in accordance herewith shall be deemed for all purposes to constitute acceptance of the other Appraiser’s timely designation of the Current FMV. The Parties agree that the fees and expenses of each of the first and second Appraiser shall be borne by the Party who appointed such Appraiser, and the fees and expenses of the Third Appraiser shall be paid by the Party whose Appraiser’s designation is not chosen by the Third Appraiser.
(v) If Landlord declines to pay Tenant the Added Improvement Value Payment hereunder, then this Lease will terminate and Tenant will have the right to cause a forced sale of Landlord’s fee interest in the Property; provided, that, Tenant may, by delivery of a written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days following the date on which Landlord so declines to make the Added Improvement Value Payment, elect to rescind the applicable Termination Notice, following which this Lease will continue in full force and effect, as though such Termination Notice had not been sent. Any proceeds received from such forced sale will be paid first to Landlord, in an amount equal to the Lease Commencement FMV, and then any proceeds remaining thereafter will be paid to Tenant. In connection with any forced sale, Tenant will manage the process thereof, determine the sale price of the Property (which will be an arms’-length third party sale that maximizes the value of the Property) and negotiate the terms of the sale documentation, using the form of purchase and sale agreement attached hereto as Schedule 2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may be the purchaser of the Property at the forced sale, provided that in such event, Tenant shall pay a purchase price equal to the Lease Commencement FMV at such sale; and provided further, that, for the period of time commencing on the date of such sale and expiring on the one (1) year anniversary thereof, in the event Tenant subsequently intends to sell the Property pursuant to an offer received from a third party, for a gross purchase price that is less than the sum of (1) the Added Improvement Value Payment and (2) the Lease Commencement FMV, that Tenant is willing to accept (an “Offer”), then Landlord shall have a right of first refusal (a “ROFR”) with respect to any such sale of the Property.
(vi) In the event Tenant receives an Offer, Tenant will send Landlord a written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) detailing the material terms of the Offer (including purchase price and closing date), upon receipt of which Landlord will have thirty (30) days to accept or reject such Offer (or such shorter time as such Offer may permit) by delivering to Tenant written notice of the same.

(vi) In the event Tenant receives an Offer, Tenant will send Landlord a written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) detailing the material terms of the Offer (including purchase price and closing date), upon receipt of which Landlord will have thirty (30) days to accept or reject such Offer (or such shorter time as such Offer may permit) by delivering to Tenant written notice of the same. If Landlord timely delivers a written notice to Tenant that it intends to exercise its ROFR and proceed with the acquisition of the Property (an “Acceptance Notice”), Landlord will pay Tenant the purchase price set forth in the Offer (the “ROFR Purchase Price”), and the Parties will close on such ROFR pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, which shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2, as modified to reflect the terms of the Offer. To the extent any closing mechanics applicable to the sale of the ROFR Property are not set forth in the Offer, the Parties shall apply the closing mechanics set forth in paragraph (vii) below. If Landlord expressly declines to exercise its ROFR or otherwise fails to timely exercise its ROFR, Tenant may proceed with the transfer of the Property with the third party making the Offer on substantially the same terms as those set forth therein. If the transfer to such third party has not been consummated on all such terms within one hundred eighty (180) days of Landlord so declining (or having been deemed to so decline) to exercise its ROFR, the ROFR will be reinstated in accordance with the terms hereof.
(vii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and the Parties proceed to a sale of the Property, Landlord shall be required to make an ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money deposit (the “ROFR Deposit”) in an amount equivalent to three percent (3%) of the ROFR Purchase Price. The ROFR Deposit shall be delivered within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of the Acceptance Notice, by transfer of immediately available funds to a national title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Tenant, who shall perform the services of escrow agent for the closing of the Property. The ROFR Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Landlord (except in the event of a material default of Tenant in performing its closing obligations pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement for the transaction). The closing shall take place on the date set forth in the ROFR Notice (or on such earlier date as the Parties may mutually agree) (the “ROFR Closing Date”) and shall be completed through a customary closing escrow or held at the principal office of Tenant or such other location as the Parties shall agree upon at least five (5) Business Days prior to the ROFR Closing Date. The ROFR Purchase Price shall be paid in immediately available funds and Tenant shall convey good and marketable title (or other valid interests held by Tenant) in the subject ROFR Property to Landlord or its designee free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. If required by Landlord, all contracts and agreements between Tenant and any of its Affiliates in respect of the Property shall be terminated effective as of the ROFR Closing Date. Each Party agrees to cooperate and to take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to reflect the acquisition of the Property by Landlord (or its designee) pursuant to the terms hereof. The cost of any title insurance policy endorsements desired by Landlord shall be paid by Landlord. All other costs shall be borne by the Party who customarily bears such costs in the city and state in which the Property is located. Any risk of casualty, condemnation or loss following the date that the Acceptance Notice is delivered to Tenant and prior to the ROFR Closing Date shall be borne by Landlord, who shall succeed to all rights to insurance proceeds (other than loss of rent proceeds allocable to any period prior to the ROFR Closing Date) or condemnation awards. If the Parties fail to consummate the sale of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof within one hundred eighty days (180) of the date of the ROFR Notice, then Landlord shall no longer have a ROFR with respect to the Property and Tenant may proceed to sell, or cause the sale, of the Property to a third party (subject to the terms hereof).
(viii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and proceeds to the acquisition of the Property (a “ROFR Closing”), then, solely with respect to the period of time commencing on after the date on which Tenant acquired actually surrenders the Property pursuant to paragraph (v) above (the “Applicable Tax Period”), the following provisions shall apply: Landlord shall assume and agree to pay so much of the real estate taxes and other taxes in respect of the Property assessed for and first becoming a lien during the calendar year in which such ROFR Closing occurs (the “Current Year Taxes”) as shall be allocable to Landlord by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year on and after such date of the ROFR Closing). Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid (i) all delinquent real estate taxes as of the date of the ROFR Closing (to the extent incurred during the Applicable Tax Period) and (ii) so much of the Current Year Taxes as shall be allocable to Tenant (or its applicable Affiliate) by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year prior to the date of the ROFR Closing). Any Taxes which are payable 767 Premises in the calendar year in which a ROFR Closing occurs but are not due and payable at condition required by the time of such ROFR Closing and Lease for surrendering Premises, (x) the portion of the Current Year Taxes not assumed by Landlord hereunder shall be credited to Landlord through a credit against the ROFR Purchase Price at the ROFR Closing reflected on the applicable closing statement. If the Current Year Taxes Lease (with respect to the Property have not been set 767 Premises only) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect as of the date thereoftermination date, except for those provisions that expressly survive the present tax rate expiration or earlier termination thereof (including Landlord’s rights to any unpaid balance of Tenant), (y) the term “Premises” as used in the Lease shall no longer include the 767 Premises and the most recent assessed valuation for the Property (z) Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be used for the purposes of making the adjustments at such ROFR Closing under this paragraph and the Parties shall re-prorate within thirty (30) days following receipt of the actual final tax ▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute (with Landlord’s reasonable cooperation after the ROFR Closing, at no expense or liability to Landlord) and retain any recovery in connection with any tax appeals or contests with respect to taxes assessed against the Property for tax periods prior to the tax period that includes the ROFR Closing Date, provided such recovery action will not result in a deferral of taxes or reassessment against the Property that negatively affects Landlordadjusted accordingly.
(ix) If a lender or third-party consent is required in connection with the termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 2, Tenant will bear the responsibility of obtaining such consent and Tenant will pay all costs incurred in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

Termination Option. The period of time between the date hereof and 4:00 p.m. on September 17, 2000 is hereinafter referred to as the "Inspection Period." Buyer, in its sole discretion, may elect to terminate this Agreement, for any reason or no reason, by giving notice of such election to Seller on any day prior to and including the final day of the Inspection Period (itime being of the essence of the giving of such notice), in which event, except as expressly set forth herein, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further liability or obligation to the other hereunder. If such termination by Buyer occurs on or prior to the date which is twenty (20) From and days after the occurrence date of a Termination Trigger this Agreement, then the Initial Deposit shall be returned to Buyer; however, if such termination occurs after said twenty (20) day period, then the Initial Deposit shall be nonrefundable and shall be retained by Seller as defined below) with respect it's own property, free and clear of any rights or claims of Buyer. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then by not later than the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall deliver the Additional Deposit to Escrow Agent. If Buyer timely delivers the Additional Deposit to Escrow Agent, as aforesaid, the delivery of the Additional Deposit shall be considered an election by Buyer not to terminate this Agreement, and all of the conditions of this Section 4.3 shall be considered satisfied and the Buyer's termination option under this Section 4.3 shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and this Agreement and the obligations of the parties shall remain in full force and effect. Without limiting the foregoing, if Buyer fails to deliver the Additional Deposit by not later than the expiration of the Inspection Period, then such failure shall be considered to be an election by Buyer to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Initial Deposit shall be nonrefundable and shall be retained by Seller as its own property, free and clear of any rights or claims of Buyer, and except as expressly set forth herein, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further liability or obligation to the other hereunder. Except as set forth in this Article 4, there are and shall be no conditions or contingencies, of any kind whatsoever, to the obligation of Buyer to purchase the Property, but in any case, no later than sixty (60) days following the date of such occurrence, Tenant will have the option to terminate this Lease by sending to Landlord a written notice (a “Termination Notice”) stating that Tenant desires to terminate this Lease, together with reasonable documentation evidencing that a Termination Trigger has occurred and is continuing as of the date of such Termination Notice (including, without limitation, copies of paid invoices, lien releases (in statutory form, if applicable) and a rent roll). A “Termination Trigger” will have occurred when the development or redevelopment of the Property has been substantially completed (if applicable) and the Property has reached at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy for a minimum period of twelve (12) consecutive months (“Stabilization”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Current FMV of the Property as of the date the Termination Trigger occurs is less than the Lease Commencement FMV, then Tenant will not have a right or option to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 2(b) and this Lease will continue in full force and effect, and in accordance with the terms hereof.
(ii) In the event that Landlord disputes that a Termination Trigger has occurred or that such Termination Trigger is continuing as of the date the Termination Notice is sent to Landlord, Landlord will send to Tenant a Dispute Notice (as defined in and pursuant to Section 26(b)) containing an explanation of such dispute within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Termination Notice. If, following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a Dispute Notice, the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Parties will proceed to arbitration to resolve such dispute, in accordance with the terms of Section 26; provided, however, that the Parties will endeavor to conclude any such arbitration within thirty (30) days (e.g., the arbitrators will be selected within ten (10) days and the hearing will be held and the decision rendered within twenty (20) days thereafter) or, if possible, by the Termination Date (as defined below), and the decision rendered thereby will be final, binding and non-appealable. If any such arbitration concludes on or prior contingencies relating to the applicable Termination Date, this Lease will terminate on such Termination Date. In the event that any arbitration has not concluded on or before the applicable Termination Date, (a) Tenant will pay all rent amounts due after such date into an escrow account (which rent amounts will be paid over to Landlord in the event the arbitration is decided in favor obtaining of Landlord, or returned to Tenant in the event the arbitration is decided in favor of Tenant), and (b) if the arbitration is decided in favor of Tenant, Landlord will reimburse Tenant for all other expenses incurred in the ordinary course in connection with the Property (e.g., property management fees, repair and maintenance costs, taxes, assessments, etcfinancing by Buyer.) from the first day following the Termination Date until and including the date on which this Lease actually terminates, which date will be fifteen (15) days following the date on which the arbitration decision is rendered. Failure to send a Dispute Notice within the thirty (30) day period following Landlord’s receipt of the Termination Notice will be deemed an approval by Landlord to terminate this Lease.
(iii) Upon the affirmative or deemed approval of Landlord to terminate this Lease, the Parties will mutually collaborate to effect the termination of this Lease, which termination will be effective on the last day of the month in which occurs the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of delivery to Landlord of the Termination Notice (the “Termination Date”).
(iv) On or prior to the Termination Date, Landlord has the right, but not the obligation, to pay Tenant the Added Improvement Value Payment (as defined below) for this Lease. The “Added Improvement Value Payment” will be the amount calculated as of the Termination Date pursuant to the following formula: ninety-five percent (95%) of the resulting difference of (A) the Current FMV (as hereinafter defined) of the Property (taking into account the value-add after the development or redevelopment and/or lease up thereof), less (B) ($ ), being the fair market value of the Property immediately prior to the Commencement Date (the “Lease Commencement FMV”). As used herein, “Current FMV” means, as of any date of determination, the then-current fair market value of the Property, which shall be determined pursuant to the following procedures: Upon commencing discussions regarding the same, the Parties shall collaborate in an effort to mutually agree on the then-current fair market value of the Property. If the Parties do not reach mutual agreement within thirty (30) days of commencing such discussions, then within five (5) business days following the end of such thirty (30)-day period, each of the Parties will give notice to the other specifying the name and address of an appraiser; any such appraiser shall be an independent appraiser or valuation specialist or investment banker who is qualified to appraise property similar to the Property and is either a member of the Appraisal Institute (or any successor association or body of comparable standing if such Institute is not then in existence) or is a recognized valuation professional within the multifamily residential real estate industry, and has been actively engaged in the appraisal of multifamily residential properties for a period of not less than ten (10) years, immediately preceding its appointment under this Lease (any such appraiser, valuation specialist or investment banker meeting such standards shall be an “Appraiser”). The two Appraisers so chosen will meet within ten (10) days after notice of the selection of the second Appraiser and will endeavor to agree on the Current FMV. If, within fifteen (15) days after such notice, the two Appraisers do not agree unanimously on the Current FMV, the two Appraisers will together appoint a third Appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”). Within ten (10) days following the selection of the Third Appraiser, each of the first two Appraisers will submit his or her designation of the Current FMV to the Third Appraiser in writing; and, within five (5) days following the earlier of the expiration of such ten (10) day period and the date by which both designations have been submitted to the Third Appraiser, the Third Appraiser shall choose one of the designations presented, according to its determination of which such designation most comports with its assessment of the Current FMV (thereafter, such chosen designation being the Current FMV for all purposes hereunder). Any failure of an Appraiser to timely deliver its designation of the Current FMV in accordance herewith shall be deemed for all purposes to constitute acceptance of the other Appraiser’s timely designation of the Current FMV. The Parties agree that the fees and expenses of each of the first and second Appraiser shall be borne by the Party who appointed such Appraiser, and the fees and expenses of the Third Appraiser shall be paid by the Party whose Appraiser’s designation is not chosen by the Third Appraiser.
(v) If Landlord declines to pay Tenant the Added Improvement Value Payment hereunder, then this Lease will terminate and Tenant will have the right to cause a forced sale of Landlord’s fee interest in the Property. Any proceeds received from such forced sale will be paid first to Landlord, in an amount equal to the Lease Commencement FMV, and then any proceeds remaining thereafter will be paid to Tenant. In connection with any forced sale, Tenant will manage the process thereof, determine the sale price of the Property (which will be an arms’-length third party sale that maximizes the value of the Property) and negotiate the terms of the sale documentation, using the form of purchase and sale agreement attached hereto as Schedule 2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may be the purchaser of the Property at the forced sale, provided that in such event, Tenant shall pay a purchase price equal to the Lease Commencement FMV at such sale; and provided further, that, for the period of time commencing on the date of such sale and expiring on the one (1) year anniversary thereof, in the event Tenant subsequently intends to sell the Property pursuant to an offer received from a third party, for a gross purchase price that is less than the sum of (1) the Added Improvement Value Payment and (2) the Lease Commencement FMV, that Tenant is willing to accept (an “Offer”), then Landlord shall have a right of first refusal (a “ROFR”) with respect to any such sale of the Property.
(vi) In the event Tenant receives an Offer, Tenant will send Landlord a written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) detailing the material terms of the Offer (including purchase price and closing date), upon receipt of which Landlord will have thirty (30) days to accept or reject such Offer (or such shorter time as such Offer may permit) by delivering to Tenant written notice of the same. If Landlord timely delivers a written notice to Tenant that it intends to exercise its ROFR and proceed with the acquisition of the Property (an “Acceptance Notice”), Landlord will pay Tenant the purchase price set forth in the Offer (the “ROFR Purchase Price”), and the Parties will close on such ROFR pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, which shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2, as modified to reflect the terms of the Offer. To the extent any closing mechanics applicable to the sale of the ROFR Property are not set forth in the Offer, the Parties shall apply the closing mechanics set forth in paragraph (vii) below. If Landlord expressly declines to exercise its ROFR or otherwise fails to timely exercise its ROFR, Tenant may proceed with the transfer of the Property with the third party making the Offer on substantially the same terms as those set forth therein. If the transfer to such third party has not been consummated on all such terms within one hundred eighty (180) days of Landlord so declining (or having been deemed to so decline) to exercise its ROFR, the ROFR will be reinstated in accordance with the terms hereof.
(vii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and the Parties proceed to a sale of the Property, Landlord shall be required to make an ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money deposit (the “ROFR Deposit”) in an amount equivalent to three percent (3%) of the ROFR Purchase Price. The ROFR Deposit shall be delivered within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of the Acceptance Notice, by transfer of immediately available funds to a national title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Tenant, who shall perform the services of escrow agent for the closing of the Property. The ROFR Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Landlord (except in the event of a material default of Tenant in performing its closing obligations pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement for the transaction). The closing shall take place on the date set forth in the ROFR Notice (or on such earlier date as the Parties may mutually agree) (the “ROFR Closing Date”) and shall be completed through a customary closing escrow or held at the principal office of Tenant or such other location as the Parties shall agree upon at least five (5) Business Days prior to the ROFR Closing Date. The ROFR Purchase Price shall be paid in immediately available funds and Tenant shall convey good and marketable title (or other valid interests held by Tenant) in the subject ROFR Property to Landlord or its designee free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. If required by Landlord, all contracts and agreements between Tenant and any of its Affiliates in respect of the Property shall be terminated effective as of the ROFR Closing Date. Each Party agrees to cooperate and to take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to reflect the acquisition of the Property by Landlord (or its designee) pursuant to the terms hereof. The cost of any title insurance policy endorsements desired by Landlord shall be paid by Landlord. All other costs shall be borne by the Party who customarily bears such costs in the city and state in which the Property is located. Any risk of casualty, condemnation or loss following the date that the Acceptance Notice is delivered to Tenant and prior to the ROFR Closing Date shall be borne by Landlord, who shall succeed to all rights to insurance proceeds (other than loss of rent proceeds allocable to any period prior to the ROFR Closing Date) or condemnation awards. If the Parties fail to consummate the sale of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof within one hundred eighty days (180) of the date of the ROFR Notice, then Landlord shall no longer have a ROFR with respect to the Property and Tenant may proceed to sell, or cause the sale, of the Property to a third party (subject to the terms hereof).
(viii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and proceeds to the acquisition of the Property (a “ROFR Closing”), then, solely with respect to the period of time commencing on the date on which Tenant acquired the Property pursuant to paragraph (v) above (the “Applicable Tax Period”), the following provisions shall apply: Landlord shall assume and agree to pay so much of the real estate taxes and other taxes in respect of the Property assessed for and first becoming a lien during the calendar year in which such ROFR Closing occurs (the “Current Year Taxes”) as shall be allocable to Landlord by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year on and after such date of the ROFR Closing). Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid (i) all delinquent real estate taxes as of the date of the ROFR Closing (to the extent incurred during the Applicable Tax Period) and (ii) so much of the Current Year Taxes as shall be allocable to Tenant (or its applicable Affiliate) by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year prior to the date of the ROFR Closing). Any Taxes which are payable in the calendar year in which a ROFR Closing occurs but are not due and payable at the time of such ROFR Closing and the portion of the Current Year Taxes not assumed by Landlord hereunder shall be credited to Landlord through a credit against the ROFR Purchase Price at the ROFR Closing reflected on the applicable closing statement. If the Current Year Taxes with respect to the Property have not been set as of the date thereof, the present tax rate and the most recent assessed valuation for the Property shall be used for the purposes of making the adjustments at such ROFR Closing under this paragraph and the Parties shall re-prorate within thirty (30) days following receipt of the actual final tax ▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute (with Landlord’s reasonable cooperation after the ROFR Closing, at no expense or liability to Landlord) and retain any recovery in connection with any tax appeals or contests with respect to taxes assessed against the Property for tax periods prior to the tax period that includes the ROFR Closing Date, provided such recovery action will not result in a deferral of taxes or reassessment against the Property that negatively affects Landlord.
(ix) If a lender or third-party consent is required in connection with the termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 2, Tenant will bear the responsibility of obtaining such consent and Tenant will pay all costs incurred in connection therewith.

Termination Option. (i) From and after the occurrence of a Termination Trigger (as defined below) with respect to the Property, but in any case, no later than sixty (60) days following the date of such occurrence, Tenant will have the option to terminate this Lease by sending to Landlord a written notice (a “Termination Notice”) stating that Tenant desires to terminate this Lease, together with reasonable documentation evidencing that a Termination Trigger has occurred and is continuing as of the date of such Termination Notice (including, without limitation, copies of paid invoices, lien releases (in statutory form, if applicable) and a rent roll). A “Termination Trigger” will have occurred when the development or redevelopment of the Property has been substantially completed (if applicable) and the Property has reached at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy for a minimum period of twelve (12) consecutive months (“Stabilization”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Current FMV of the Property as of the date the Termination Trigger occurs is less than the Lease Commencement FMV, then Tenant will not have a right or option to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 2(b) and this Lease will continue in full force and effect, and in accordance with the terms hereof.
(ii) In the event that Landlord disputes that a Termination Trigger has occurred or that such Termination Trigger is continuing as of the date the Termination Notice is sent to Landlord, Landlord will send to Tenant a Dispute Notice (as defined in and pursuant to Section 26(b)) containing an explanation of such dispute within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Termination Notice. If, following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a Dispute Notice, the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Parties will proceed to arbitration to resolve such dispute, in accordance with the terms of Section 26; provided, however, that the Parties will endeavor to conclude any such arbitration within thirty (30) days (e.g., the arbitrators will be selected within ten (10) days and the hearing will be held and the decision rendered within twenty (20) days thereafter) or, if possible, by the Termination Date (as defined below), and the decision rendered thereby will be final, binding and non-appealable. If any such arbitration concludes on or prior to the applicable Termination Date, and the arbitration (A) is decided in favor of Tenant, then this Lease will terminate on such Termination Date, or (B) is decided in favor of Landlord, then this Lease will continue in full force and effect, as though the applicable Termination Notice had not been sent (provided, that if the Base Rent increased (in accordance with Section 3(a)(ii)) on the basis that Stabilization had occurred, and it is determined that Stabilization did not occur, then Tenant shall receive a rent credit for any overpayment of Base Rent by Tenant due to such increase). In the event that any arbitration has not concluded on or before the applicable Termination Date, the following terms shall apply: (a1) Tenant will pay all rent Rent amounts due after such Termination Date, through and including the date on which the arbitration concludes, into an escrow account account; (which rent amounts will be paid over to Landlord in the event the arbitration is decided in favor of Landlord, or returned to Tenant in the event the arbitration is decided in favor of Tenant), and (b2) if the arbitration is decided in favor of Tenant, then, on the date which is fifteen (15) days following the date on which the arbitration decision is rendered (the “Final Termination Date”), (a) this Lease will terminate, (b) the escrowed Rent amounts will be returned to Tenant, (c) Landlord will reimburse Tenant for all other expenses incurred in the ordinary course in connection with the Property (e.g., property management fees, repair and maintenance costs, taxes, assessments, debt service payments and related fees paid by Tenant to any Leasehold Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined) (to the extent any such payments or fees are incurred solely on account of the indebtedness secured by the Leasehold Mortgage being repaid on or about the Final Termination Date instead of on the Termination Date (as set forth in the Termination Notice), etc.) from during the period commencing on the first day following the Termination Date until and including ending on the date on which Final Termination Date (such period, the “Termination Extension Period”) and (d) Tenant will pay over to Landlord the aggregate amount of any rent amounts or other income collected from occupants of the Property during, and attributable to, the Termination Extension Period or any portion thereof; and (3) if the arbitration is decided in favor of Landlord, then (a) this Lease actually terminateswill continue in full force and effect, which date will be fifteen as though the applicable Termination Notice had not been sent, and, (15b) days within three (3) Business Days following the date on which the arbitration decision is rendered, the escrowed Rent amounts will be paid to Landlord (provided, that if the Base Rent increased (in accordance with Section 3(a)(ii)) on the basis that Stabilization had occurred, and it is determined that Stabilization did not occur, then Tenant shall receive a rent credit for any overpayment of Base Rent by Tenant due to such increase). Failure to send a Dispute Notice within the thirty (30) day period following Landlord’s receipt of the Termination Notice will be deemed an approval by Landlord to terminate this Lease.
(iii) Upon the affirmative or deemed approval of Landlord to terminate this Lease, the Parties will mutually collaborate to effect the termination of this Lease, which termination will be effective on the last day of the month in which occurs the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of delivery to Landlord of the Termination Notice (the “Termination Date”).
(iv) On or prior to the Termination Date, Landlord has the right, but not the obligation, to pay Tenant the Added Improvement Value Payment (as defined below) for this Lease. The “Added Improvement Value Payment” will be the amount calculated as of the Termination Date pursuant to the following formula: ninety-five percent (95%) of the resulting difference of (A) the Current FMV (as hereinafter defined) of the Property (taking into account both the value-add after the development or redevelopment and/or lease up thereofthereof and any market fluctuations then in effect), less (B) Eighty-Nine Million and 00/100 Dollars ($ $89,000,000.00), being the fair market value of the Property immediately prior to the Commencement Date (the “Lease Commencement FMV”). As used herein, “Current FMV” means, as of any date of determination, the then-current fair market value of the Property, which shall be determined pursuant to the following procedures: Upon commencing discussions regarding the same, the Parties shall collaborate in an effort to mutually agree on the then-current fair market value of the Property. If the Parties do not reach mutual agreement within thirty (30) days of commencing such discussions, then within five (5) business days following the end of such thirty (30)-day period, each of the Parties will give notice to the other specifying the name and address of an appraiser; any such appraiser shall be an independent appraiser or valuation specialist or investment banker who is qualified to appraise property similar to the Property and is either a member of the Appraisal Institute (or any successor association or body of comparable standing if such Institute is not then in existence) or is a recognized valuation professional within the multifamily residential real estate industry, and has been actively engaged in the appraisal of multifamily residential properties for a period of not less than ten (10) years, immediately preceding its appointment under this Lease (any such appraiser, valuation specialist or investment banker meeting such standards shall be an “Appraiser”). The two Appraisers so chosen will meet within ten (10) days after notice of the selection of the second Appraiser and will endeavor to agree on the Current FMV. If, within fifteen (15) days after such notice, the two Appraisers do not agree unanimously on the Current FMV, the two Appraisers will together appoint a third Appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”).

Any failure of an Appraiser to timely deliver its designation of the Current FMV in accordance herewith shall be deemed for all purposes to constitute acceptance of the other Appraiser’s timely designation of the Current FMV. The Parties agree that the fees and expenses of each of the first and second Appraiser shall be borne by the Party who appointed such Appraiser, and the fees and expenses of the Third Appraiser shall be paid by the Party whose Appraiser’s designation is not chosen by the Third Appraiser.
(v) If Landlord declines to pay Tenant the Added Improvement Value Payment hereunder, then this Lease will terminate and Tenant will have the right to cause a forced sale of Landlord’s fee interest in the Property; provided, that, Tenant may, by delivery of a written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days following the date on which Landlord so declines to make the Added Improvement Value Payment, elect to rescind the applicable Termination Notice, following which this Lease will continue in full force and effect, as though such Termination Notice had not been sent. Any proceeds received from such forced sale will be paid first to Landlord, in an amount equal to the Lease Commencement FMV, and then any proceeds remaining thereafter will be paid to Tenant. In connection with any forced sale, Tenant will manage the process thereof, determine the sale price of the Property (which will be an arms’-length third party sale that maximizes the value of the Property) and negotiate the terms of the sale documentation, using the form of purchase and sale agreement attached hereto as Schedule 2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may be the purchaser of the Property at the forced sale, provided that in such event, Tenant shall pay a purchase price equal to the Lease Commencement FMV at such sale; and provided further, that, for the period of time commencing on the date of such sale and expiring on the one (1) year anniversary thereof, in the event Tenant subsequently intends to sell the Property pursuant to an offer received from a third party, for a gross purchase price that is less than the sum of (1) the Added Improvement Value Payment and (2) the Lease Commencement FMV, that Tenant is willing to accept (an “Offer”), then Landlord shall have a right of first refusal (a “ROFR”) with respect to any such sale of the Property.
(vi) In the event Tenant receives an Offer, Tenant will send Landlord a written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) detailing the material terms of the Offer (including purchase price and closing date), upon receipt of which Landlord will have thirty (30) days to accept or reject such Offer (or such shorter time as such Offer may permit) by delivering to Tenant written notice of the same. If Landlord timely delivers a written notice to Tenant that it intends to exercise its ROFR and proceed with the acquisition of the Property (an “Acceptance Notice”), Landlord will pay Tenant the purchase price set forth in the Offer (the “ROFR Purchase Price”), and the Parties will close on such ROFR pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, which shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2, as modified to reflect the terms of the Offer. To the extent any closing mechanics applicable to the sale of the ROFR Property are not set forth in the Offer, the Parties shall apply the closing mechanics set forth in paragraph (vii) below.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Current FMV of the Property as of the date the Termination Trigger occurs is less than the Lease Commencement FMV, then Tenant will not have a right or option to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 2(b) and this Lease will continue in full force and effect, and in accordance with the terms hereof.
(ii) In the event that Landlord disputes that a Termination Trigger has occurred or that such Termination Trigger is continuing as of the date the Termination Notice is sent to Landlord, Landlord will send to Tenant a Dispute Notice (as defined in and pursuant to Section 26(b)) containing an explanation of such dispute within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Termination Notice. If, following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a Dispute Notice, the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Parties will proceed to arbitration to resolve such dispute, in accordance with the terms of Section 26; provided, however, that the Parties will endeavor to conclude any such arbitration within thirty (30) days (e.g., the arbitrators will be selected within ten (10) days and the hearing will be held and the decision rendered within twenty (20) days thereafter) or, if possible, by the Termination Date (as defined below), and the decision rendered thereby will be final, binding and non-appealable. If any such arbitration concludes on or prior to the applicable Termination Date, this Lease will terminate on such Termination Date. In the event that any arbitration has not concluded on or before the applicable Termination Date, (a) Tenant will pay all rent amounts due after such date into an escrow account (which rent amounts will be paid over to Landlord in the event the arbitration is decided in favor of Landlord, or returned to Tenant in the event the arbitration is decided in favor of Tenant), and (b) if the arbitration is decided in favor of Tenant, Landlord will reimburse Tenant for all other expenses incurred in the ordinary course in connection with the Property (e.g., property management fees, repair and maintenance costs, taxes, assessments, etc.) from the first day following the Termination Date until and including the date on which this Lease actually terminates, which date will be fifteen (15) days following the date on which the arbitration decision is rendered. Failure to send a Dispute Notice within the thirty (30) day period following Landlord’s receipt of the Termination Notice will be deemed an approval by Landlord to terminate this Lease.
(iii) Upon the affirmative or deemed approval of Landlord to terminate this Lease, the Parties will mutually collaborate to effect the termination of this Lease, which termination will be effective on the last day of the month in which occurs the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of delivery to Landlord of the Termination Notice (the “Termination Date”).
(iv) On or prior to the Termination Date, Landlord has the right, but not the obligation, to pay Tenant the Added Improvement Value Payment (as defined below) for this Lease. The “Added Improvement Value Payment” will be the amount calculated as of the Termination Date pursuant to the following formula: ninety-five percent (95%) of the resulting difference of (A) the Current FMV (as hereinafter defined) of the Property (taking into account the value-add after the development or redevelopment and/or lease up thereof), less (B) ($ )$____________5, being the fair market value of the Property immediately prior to the Commencement Date (the “Lease Commencement FMV”). As used herein, “Current FMV” means, as of any date of determination, the then-current fair market value of the Property, which shall be determined pursuant to the following procedures: Upon commencing discussions regarding the same, the Parties shall collaborate in an effort to mutually agree on the then-current fair market value of the Property. If the Parties do not reach mutual agreement within thirty (30) days of commencing such discussions, then within five (5) business days following the end of such thirty (30)-day period, each of the Parties will give notice to the other specifying the name and address of an appraiser; any such appraiser shall be an independent appraiser or valuation specialist or investment banker who is qualified to appraise property similar to the Property and is either a member of the Appraisal Institute (or any successor association or body of comparable standing if such Institute is not then in existence) or is a recognized valuation professional within the multifamily residential real estate industry, and has been actively engaged in the appraisal of multifamily residential properties for a period of not less than ten (10) years, immediately preceding its appointment under this Lease (any such appraiser, valuation specialist or investment banker meeting such standards shall be an “Appraiser”). The two Appraisers so chosen will meet within ten (10) days after notice of the selection of the second Appraiser and will endeavor to agree on the Current FMV. If, within fifteen (15) days after such notice, the two Appraisers do not agree unanimously on the Current FMV, the two Appraisers will together appoint a third Appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”). Within ten (10) days following the selection of the Third Appraiser, each of the first two Appraisers will submit his or her designation of the Current FMV to the Third Appraiser in writing; and, within five (5) days following the earlier of the expiration of such ten (10) day period and the date by which both designations have been submitted to the Third Appraiser, the Third Appraiser shall choose one of the designations presented, according to its determination of which such designation most comports with its assessment of the Current FMV (thereafter, such chosen designation being the Current FMV for all purposes hereunder). Any failure of an Appraiser to timely deliver its designation of the Current FMV in accordance herewith shall be deemed for all purposes to constitute acceptance of the other Appraiser’s timely designation of the Current FMV. The Parties agree that the fees and expenses of each 5 NTD: AIMCO to advise of the first and second Appraiser shall be borne by the Party who appointed such Appraiser, and the fees and expenses of the Third Appraiser shall be paid by the Party whose Appraiser’s designation is not chosen by the Third Appraiser.
(v) If Landlord declines to pay Tenant the Added Improvement Value Payment hereunder, then this Lease will terminate and Tenant will have the right to cause a forced sale of Landlord’s fee interest in the Property. Any proceeds received from such forced sale will be paid first to Landlord, in an amount equal to the Lease Commencement FMV, and then any proceeds remaining thereafter will be paid to Tenant. In connection with any forced sale, Tenant will manage the process thereof, determine the sale price of the Property (which will be an arms’-length third party sale that maximizes the fair market value of the Property) and negotiate the terms of the sale documentation, using the form of purchase and sale agreement attached hereto as Schedule 2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may be the purchaser of the applicable Property at the forced sale, provided that in such event, Tenant shall pay a purchase price equal to the Lease Commencement FMV at such sale; and provided further, that, for the period of time commencing on the date of such sale and expiring on the one (1) year anniversary thereof, in the event Tenant subsequently intends to sell the Property pursuant to an offer received from a third party, for a gross purchase price that is less than the sum of (1) the Added Improvement Value Payment and (2) the Lease Commencement FMV, that Tenant is willing to accept (an “Offer”), then Landlord shall have a right of first refusal (a “ROFR”) with respect to any such sale of the Property.
(vi) In the event Tenant receives an Offer, Tenant will send Landlord a written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) detailing the material terms of the Offer (including purchase price and closing date), upon receipt of which Landlord will have thirty (30) days to accept or reject such Offer (or such shorter time as such Offer may permit) by delivering to Tenant written notice of the same. If Landlord timely delivers a written notice to Tenant that it intends to exercise its ROFR and proceed with the acquisition of the Property (an “Acceptance Notice”), Landlord will pay Tenant the purchase price set forth in the Offer (the “ROFR Purchase Price”), and the Parties will close on such ROFR pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, which shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2, as modified to reflect the terms of the Offer. To the extent any closing mechanics applicable to the sale of the ROFR Property are not set forth in the Offer, the Parties shall apply the closing mechanics set forth in paragraph (vii) below. If Landlord expressly declines to exercise its ROFR or otherwise fails to timely exercise its ROFR, Tenant may proceed with the transfer of the Property with the third party making the Offer on substantially the same terms as those set forth therein. If the transfer to such third party has not been consummated on all such terms within one hundred eighty (180) days of Landlord so declining (or having been deemed to so decline) to exercise its ROFR, the ROFR will be reinstated in accordance with the terms hereof.
(vii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and the Parties proceed to a sale of the Property, Landlord shall be required to make an ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money deposit (the “ROFR Deposit”) in an amount equivalent to three percent (3%) of the ROFR Purchase Price. The ROFR Deposit shall be delivered within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of the Acceptance Notice, by transfer of immediately available funds to a national title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Tenant, who shall perform the services of escrow agent for the closing of the Property. The ROFR Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Landlord (except in the event of a material default of Tenant in performing its closing obligations pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement for the transaction). The closing shall take place on the date set forth in the ROFR Notice (or on such earlier date as the Parties may mutually agree) (the “ROFR Closing Date”) and shall be completed through a customary closing escrow or held at the principal office of Tenant or such other location as the Parties shall agree upon at least five (5) Business Days prior to the ROFR Closing Date. The ROFR Purchase Price shall be paid in immediately available funds and Tenant shall convey good and marketable title (or other valid interests held by Tenant) in the subject ROFR Property to Landlord or its designee free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. If required by Landlord, all contracts and agreements between Tenant and any of its Affiliates in respect of the Property shall be terminated effective as of the ROFR Closing Date. Each Party agrees to cooperate and to take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to reflect the acquisition of the Property by Landlord (or its designee) pursuant to the terms hereof. The cost of any title insurance policy endorsements desired by Landlord shall be paid by Landlord. All other costs shall be borne by the Party who customarily bears such costs in the city and state in which the Property is located. Any risk of casualty, condemnation or loss following the date that the Acceptance Notice is delivered to Tenant and prior to the ROFR Closing Date shall be borne by Landlord, who shall succeed to all rights to insurance proceeds (other than loss of rent proceeds allocable to any period prior to the ROFR Closing Date) or condemnation awards. If the Parties fail to consummate the sale of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof within one hundred eighty days (180) of the date of the ROFR Notice, then Landlord shall no longer have a ROFR with respect to the Property and Tenant may proceed to sell, or cause the sale, of the Property to a third party (subject to the terms hereof).
(viii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and proceeds to the acquisition of the Property (a “ROFR Closing”), then, solely with respect to the period of time commencing on the date on which Tenant acquired the Property pursuant to paragraph (v) above (the “Applicable Tax Period”), the following provisions shall apply: Landlord shall assume and agree to pay so much of the real estate taxes and other taxes in respect of the Property assessed for and first becoming a lien during the calendar year in which such ROFR Closing occurs (the “Current Year Taxes”) as shall be allocable to Landlord by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year on and after such date of the ROFR Closing). Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid (i) all delinquent real estate taxes as of the date of the ROFR Closing (to the extent incurred during the Applicable Tax Period) and (ii) so much of the Current Year Taxes as shall be allocable to Tenant (or its applicable Affiliate) by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year prior to the date of the ROFR Closing). Any Taxes which are payable in the calendar year in which a ROFR Closing occurs but are not due and payable at the time of lease commencement, with such ROFR Closing and number to be input in the portion of the Current Year Taxes not assumed by Landlord hereunder shall be credited to Landlord through a credit against the ROFR Purchase Price at the ROFR Closing reflected on the applicable closing statement. If the Current Year Taxes with respect to the Property have not been set as of the date thereof, the present tax rate and the most recent assessed valuation for the Property shall be used for the purposes of making the adjustments at such ROFR Closing under this paragraph and the Parties shall re-prorate within thirty (30) days following receipt of the actual final tax ▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute (with Landlord’s reasonable cooperation after the ROFR Closing, at no expense or liability to Landlord) and retain any recovery in connection with any tax appeals or contests with respect to taxes assessed against the Property for tax periods prior to the tax period that includes the ROFR Closing Date, space provided such recovery action will not result in a deferral of taxes or reassessment against the Property that negatively affects Landlordhere.
(ix) If a lender or third-party consent is required in connection with the termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 2, Tenant will bear the responsibility of obtaining such consent and Tenant will pay all costs incurred in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

In the event that any arbitration has not concluded on or before the applicable Termination Date, (a) Tenant will pay all rent amounts due after such date into an escrow account (which rent amounts will be paid over to Landlord in the event the arbitration is decided in favor of Landlord, or returned to Tenant in the event the arbitration is decided in favor of Tenant), and (b) if the arbitration is decided in favor of Tenant, Landlord will reimburse Tenant for all other expenses incurred in the ordinary course in connection with the Property (e.g., property management fees, repair and maintenance costs, taxes, assessments, etc.) from the first day following the Termination Date until and including the date on which this Lease actually terminates, which date will be fifteen (15) days following the date on which the arbitration decision is rendered. Failure to send a Dispute Notice within the thirty (30) day period following Landlord’s receipt of the Termination Notice will be deemed an approval by Landlord to terminate this Lease.
(iii) Upon the affirmative or deemed approval of Landlord to terminate this Lease, the Parties will mutually collaborate to effect the termination of this Lease, which termination will be effective on the last day of the month in which occurs the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of delivery to Landlord of the Termination Notice (the “Termination Date”). In the event that Tenant fails to deliver the Termination Notice to Landlord within the time periods prescribed by this subparagraph, then Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived the Termination Option and, in such event, Tenant’s Termination Option shall be null and void and Tenant shall have no further right to terminate the Lease pursuant to this Section.
(ivb) On Notwithstanding Tenant’s delivery of the Termination Notice, Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent through the Termination Date. The Rent shall be apportioned as of the Termination Date.
(c) Tenant shall surrender vacant possession of the Demised Premises on or prior to the Termination Date. In the event Tenant exercises its Termination Option, Landlord has the right, but not the obligation, to pay Tenant the Added Improvement Value Payment (as defined below) for this Lease. The “Added Improvement Value Payment” will be the amount calculated Lease shall terminate as of the Termination Date pursuant to as if the following formula: ninety-five percent (95%) Termination Date were the date originally stipulated for the expiration of the resulting difference Term; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve Tenant of (A) the Current FMV (as hereinafter defined) of the Property (taking into account the value-add after the development or redevelopment and/or lease up thereof), less (B) ($ ), being the fair market value of the Property immediately any obligations which accrued prior to the Commencement Date (the “Lease Commencement FMV”). As used herein, “Current FMV” means, as of any date of determination, the then-current fair market value of the Property, which shall be determined pursuant to the following procedures: Upon commencing discussions regarding the same, the Parties shall collaborate in an effort to mutually agree on the then-current fair market value of the Property. If the Parties do not reach mutual agreement within thirty (30) days of commencing such discussions, then within five (5) business days following the end of such thirty (30)-day period, each of the Parties will give notice to the other specifying the name and address of an appraiser; any such appraiser shall be an independent appraiser or valuation specialist or investment banker who is qualified to appraise property similar to the Property and is either a member of the Appraisal Institute (or any successor association or body of comparable standing if such Institute is not then in existence) or is a recognized valuation professional within the multifamily residential real estate industry, and has been actively engaged in the appraisal of multifamily residential properties for a period of not less than ten (10) years, immediately preceding its appointment under this Lease (any such appraiser, valuation specialist or investment banker meeting such standards shall be an “Appraiser”). The two Appraisers so chosen will meet within ten (10) days after notice of the selection of the second Appraiser and will endeavor to agree on the Current FMV. If, within fifteen (15) days after such notice, the two Appraisers do not agree unanimously on the Current FMV, the two Appraisers will together appoint a third Appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”). Within ten (10) days following the selection of the Third Appraiser, each of the first two Appraisers will submit his or her designation of the Current FMV to the Third Appraiser in writing; and, within five (5) days following the earlier of the expiration of such ten (10) day period and the date by which both designations have been submitted to the Third Appraiser, the Third Appraiser shall choose one of the designations presented, according to its determination of which such designation most comports with its assessment of the Current FMV (thereafter, such chosen designation being the Current FMV for all purposes hereunder). Any failure of an Appraiser to timely deliver its designation of the Current FMV in accordance herewith shall be deemed for all purposes to constitute acceptance of the other Appraiser’s timely designation of the Current FMV. The Parties agree that the fees and expenses of each of the first and second Appraiser shall be borne by the Party who appointed such Appraiser, and the fees and expenses of the Third Appraiser shall be paid by the Party whose Appraiser’s designation is not chosen by the Third AppraiserTermination Date.
(v) If Landlord declines to pay Tenant the Added Improvement Value Payment hereunder, then this Lease will terminate and Tenant will have the right to cause a forced sale of Landlord’s fee interest in the Property. Any proceeds received from such forced sale will be paid first to Landlord, in an amount equal to the Lease Commencement FMV, and then any proceeds remaining thereafter will be paid to Tenant. In connection with any forced sale, Tenant will manage the process thereof, determine the sale price of the Property (which will be an arms’-length third party sale that maximizes the value of the Property) and negotiate the terms of the sale documentation, using the form of purchase and sale agreement attached hereto as Schedule 2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may be the purchaser of the Property at the forced sale, provided that in such event, Tenant shall pay a purchase price equal to the Lease Commencement FMV at such sale; and provided further, that, for the period of time commencing on the date of such sale and expiring on the one (1) year anniversary thereof, in the event Tenant subsequently intends to sell the Property pursuant to an offer received from a third party, for a gross purchase price that is less than the sum of (1) the Added Improvement Value Payment and (2) the Lease Commencement FMV, that Tenant is willing to accept (an “Offer”), then Landlord shall have a right of first refusal (a “ROFR”) with respect to any such sale of the Property.
(vi) In the event Tenant receives an Offer, Tenant will send Landlord a written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) detailing the material terms of the Offer (including purchase price and closing date), upon receipt of which Landlord will have thirty (30) days to accept or reject such Offer (or such shorter time as such Offer may permit) by delivering to Tenant written notice of the same. If Landlord timely delivers a written notice to Tenant that it intends to exercise its ROFR and proceed with the acquisition of the Property (an “Acceptance Notice”), Landlord will pay Tenant the purchase price set forth in the Offer (the “ROFR Purchase Price”), and the Parties will close on such ROFR pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, which shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2, as modified to reflect the terms of the Offer. To the extent any closing mechanics applicable to the sale of the ROFR Property are not set forth in the Offer, the Parties shall apply the closing mechanics set forth in paragraph (vii) below. If Landlord expressly declines to exercise its ROFR or otherwise fails to timely exercise its ROFR, Tenant may proceed with the transfer of the Property with the third party making the Offer on substantially the same terms as those set forth therein. If the transfer to such third party has not been consummated on all such terms within one hundred eighty (180) days of Landlord so declining (or having been deemed to so decline) to exercise its ROFR, the ROFR will be reinstated in accordance with the terms hereof.
(vii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and the Parties proceed to a sale of the Property, Landlord shall be required to make an ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money deposit (the “ROFR Deposit”) in an amount equivalent to three percent (3%) of the ROFR Purchase Price. The ROFR Deposit shall be delivered within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of the Acceptance Notice, by transfer of immediately available funds to a national title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Tenant, who shall perform the services of escrow agent for the closing of the Property. The ROFR Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Landlord (except in the event of a material default of Tenant in performing its closing obligations pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement for the transaction). The closing shall take place on the date set forth in the ROFR Notice (or on such earlier date as the Parties may mutually agree) (the “ROFR Closing Date”) and shall be completed through a customary closing escrow or held at the principal office of Tenant or such other location as the Parties shall agree upon at least five (5) Business Days prior to the ROFR Closing Date. The ROFR Purchase Price shall be paid in immediately available funds and Tenant shall convey good and marketable title (or other valid interests held by Tenant) in the subject ROFR Property to Landlord or its designee free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. If required by Landlord, all contracts and agreements between Tenant and any of its Affiliates in respect of the Property shall be terminated effective as of the ROFR Closing Date. Each Party agrees to cooperate and to take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to reflect the acquisition of the Property by Landlord (or its designee) pursuant to the terms hereof. The cost of any title insurance policy endorsements desired by Landlord shall be paid by Landlord. All other costs shall be borne by the Party who customarily bears such costs in the city and state in which the Property is located. Any risk of casualty, condemnation or loss following the date that the Acceptance Notice is delivered to Tenant and prior to the ROFR Closing Date shall be borne by Landlord, who shall succeed to all rights to insurance proceeds (other than loss of rent proceeds allocable to any period prior to the ROFR Closing Date) or condemnation awards. If the Parties fail to consummate the sale of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof within one hundred eighty days (180) of the date of the ROFR Notice, then Landlord shall no longer have a ROFR with respect to the Property and Tenant may proceed to sell, or cause the sale, of the Property to a third party (subject to the terms hereof).
(viii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and proceeds to the acquisition of the Property (a “ROFR Closing”), then, solely with respect to the period of time commencing on the date on which Tenant acquired the Property pursuant to paragraph (v) above (the “Applicable Tax Period”), the following provisions shall apply: Landlord shall assume and agree to pay so much of the real estate taxes and other taxes in respect of the Property assessed for and first becoming a lien during the calendar year in which such ROFR Closing occurs (the “Current Year Taxes”) as shall be allocable to Landlord by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year on and after such date of the ROFR Closing). Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid (i) all delinquent real estate taxes as of the date of the ROFR Closing (to the extent incurred during the Applicable Tax Period) and (ii) so much of the Current Year Taxes as shall be allocable to Tenant (or its applicable Affiliate) by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year prior to the date of the ROFR Closing). Any Taxes which are payable in the calendar year in which a ROFR Closing occurs but are not due and payable at the time of such ROFR Closing and the portion of the Current Year Taxes not assumed by Landlord hereunder shall be credited to Landlord through a credit against the ROFR Purchase Price at the ROFR Closing reflected on the applicable closing statement. If the Current Year Taxes with respect to the Property have not been set as of the date thereof, the present tax rate and the most recent assessed valuation for the Property shall be used for the purposes of making the adjustments at such ROFR Closing under this paragraph and the Parties shall re-prorate within thirty (30) days following receipt of the actual final tax ▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute (with Landlord’s reasonable cooperation after the ROFR Closing, at no expense or liability to Landlord) and retain any recovery in connection with any tax appeals or contests with respect to taxes assessed against the Property for tax periods prior to the tax period that includes the ROFR Closing Date, provided such recovery action will not result in a deferral of taxes or reassessment against the Property that negatively affects Landlord.
(ix) If a lender or third-party consent is required in connection with the termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 2, Tenant will bear the responsibility of obtaining such consent and Tenant will pay all costs incurred in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

A “Termination Trigger” will have occurred when the development or redevelopment of the Property has been substantially completed (if applicable) and the Property has reached at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy for a minimum period of twelve (12) consecutive months (“Stabilization”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Current FMV of the Property as of the date the Termination Trigger occurs is less than the Lease Commencement FMV, then Tenant will not have a right or option to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 2(b) and this Lease will continue in full force and effect, and in accordance with the terms hereof.
(ii) In the event that Landlord disputes that a Termination Trigger has occurred or that such Termination Trigger is continuing as of the date the Termination Notice is sent to Landlord, Landlord will send to Tenant a Dispute Notice (as defined in and pursuant to Section 26(b)) containing an explanation of such dispute within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Termination Notice. If, following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a Dispute Notice, the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Parties will proceed to arbitration to resolve such dispute, in accordance with the terms of Section 26; provided, however, that the Parties will endeavor to conclude any such arbitration within thirty (30) days (e.g., the arbitrators will be selected within ten (10) days and the hearing will be held and the decision rendered within twenty (20) days thereafter) or, if possible, by the Termination Date (as defined below), and the decision rendered thereby will be final, binding and non-appealable.

If the Parties do not reach mutual agreement within thirty (30) days of commencing such discussions, then within five (5) business days following the end of such thirty (30)-day period, each of the Parties will give notice to the other specifying the name and address of an appraiser; any such appraiser shall be an independent appraiser or valuation specialist or investment banker who is qualified to appraise property similar to the Property and is either a member of the Appraisal Institute (or any successor association or body of comparable standing if such Institute is not then in existence) or is a recognized valuation professional within the multifamily residential real estate industry, and has been actively engaged in the appraisal of multifamily residential properties for a period of not less than ten (10) years, immediately preceding its appointment under this Lease (any such appraiser, valuation specialist or investment banker meeting such standards shall be an “Appraiser”). The two Appraisers so chosen will meet within ten (10) days after notice of the selection of the second Appraiser and will endeavor to agree on the Current FMV. If, within fifteen (15) days after such notice, the two Appraisers do not agree unanimously on the Current FMV, the two Appraisers will together appoint a third Appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”). Within ten (10) days following the selection of the Third Appraiser, each of the first two Appraisers will submit his or her designation of the Current FMV to the Third Appraiser in writing; and, within five (5) days following the earlier of the expiration of such ten (10) day period and the date by which both designations have been submitted to the Third Appraiser, the Third Appraiser shall choose one of the designations presented, according to its determination of which such designation most comports with its assessment of the Current FMV (thereafter, such chosen designation being the Current FMV for all purposes hereunder). Any failure of an Appraiser to timely deliver its designation of the Current FMV in accordance herewith shall be deemed for all purposes to constitute acceptance of the other Appraiser’s timely designation of the Current FMV. The Parties agree that the fees and expenses of each of the first and second Appraiser shall be borne by the Party who appointed such Appraiser, and the fees and expenses of the Third Appraiser shall be paid by the Party whose Appraiser’s designation is not chosen by the Third Appraiser.
(v) If Landlord declines to pay Tenant the Added Improvement Value Payment hereunder, then this Lease will terminate and Tenant will have the right to cause a forced sale of Landlord’s fee interest in the Property; provided, that, Tenant may, by delivery of a written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days following the date on which Landlord so declines to make the Added Improvement Value Payment, elect to rescind the applicable Termination Notice, following which this Lease will continue in full force and effect, as though such Termination Notice had not been sent. Any proceeds received from such forced sale will be paid first to Landlord, in an amount equal to the Lease Commencement FMV, and then any proceeds remaining thereafter will be paid to Tenant. In connection with any forced sale, Tenant will manage the process thereof, determine the sale price of the Property (which will be an arms’-length third party sale that maximizes the value of the Property) and negotiate the terms of the sale documentation, using the form of purchase and sale agreement attached hereto as Schedule 2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may be the purchaser of the Property at the forced sale, provided that in such event, Tenant shall pay a purchase price equal to the Lease Commencement FMV at such sale; and provided further, that, for the period of time commencing on the date of such sale and expiring on the one (1) year anniversary thereof, in the event Tenant subsequently intends to sell the Property pursuant to an offer received from a third party, for a gross purchase price that is less than the sum of (1) the Added Improvement Value Payment and (2) the Lease Commencement FMV, that Tenant is willing to accept (an “Offer”), then Landlord shall have a right of first refusal (a “ROFR”) with respect to any such sale of the Property.
(vi) In the event Tenant receives an Offer, Tenant will send Landlord a written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) detailing the material terms of the Offer (including purchase price and closing date), upon receipt of which Landlord will have thirty (30) days to accept or reject such Offer (or such shorter time as such Offer may permit) by delivering to Tenant written notice of the same. If Landlord timely delivers a written notice to Tenant that it intends to exercise its ROFR and proceed with the acquisition of the Property (an “Acceptance Notice”), Landlord will pay Tenant the purchase price set forth in the Offer (the “ROFR Purchase Price”), and the Parties will close on such ROFR pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, which shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2, as modified to reflect the terms of the Offer. To the extent any closing mechanics applicable to the sale of the ROFR Property are not set forth in the Offer, the Parties shall apply the closing mechanics set forth in paragraph (vii) below. If Landlord expressly declines to exercise its ROFR or otherwise fails to timely exercise its ROFR, Tenant may proceed with the transfer of the Property with the third party making the Offer on substantially the same terms as those set forth therein. If the transfer to such third party has not been consummated on all such terms within one hundred eighty (180) days of Landlord so declining (or having been deemed to so decline) to exercise its ROFR, the ROFR will be reinstated in accordance with the terms hereof.
(vii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and the Parties proceed to a sale of the Property, Landlord shall be required to make an ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money deposit (the “ROFR Deposit”) in an amount equivalent to three percent (3%) of the ROFR Purchase Price. The ROFR Deposit shall be delivered within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of the Acceptance Notice, by transfer of immediately available funds to a national title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Tenant, who shall perform the services of escrow agent for the closing of the Property. The ROFR Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Landlord (except in the event of a material default of Tenant in performing its closing obligations pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement for the transaction). The closing shall take place on the date set forth in the ROFR Notice (or on such earlier date as the Parties may mutually agree) (the “ROFR Closing Date”) and shall be completed through a customary closing escrow or held at the principal office of Tenant or such other location as the Parties shall agree upon at least five (5) Business Days prior to the ROFR Closing Date. The ROFR Purchase Price shall be paid in immediately available funds and Tenant shall convey good and marketable title (or other valid interests held by Tenant) in the subject ROFR Property to Landlord or its designee free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. If required by Landlord, all contracts and agreements between Tenant and any of its Affiliates in respect of the Property shall be terminated effective as of the ROFR Closing Date. Each Party agrees to cooperate and to take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to reflect the acquisition of the Property by Landlord (or its designee) pursuant to the terms hereof. The cost of any title insurance policy endorsements desired by Landlord shall be paid by Landlord. All other costs shall be borne by the Party who customarily bears such costs in the city and state in which the Property is located. Any risk of casualty, condemnation or loss following the date that the Acceptance Notice is delivered to Tenant and prior to the ROFR Closing Date shall be borne by Landlord, who shall succeed to all rights to insurance proceeds (other than loss of rent proceeds allocable to any period prior to the ROFR Closing Date) or condemnation awards. If the Parties fail to consummate the sale of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof within one hundred eighty days (180) of the date of the ROFR Notice, then Landlord shall no longer have a ROFR with respect to the Property and Tenant may proceed to sell, or cause the sale, of the Property to a third party (subject to the terms hereof).
(viii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and proceeds to the acquisition of the Property (a “ROFR Closing”), then, solely with respect to the period of time commencing on the date on which Tenant acquired the Property pursuant to paragraph (v) above (the “Applicable Tax Period”), the following provisions shall apply: Landlord shall assume and agree to pay so much of the real estate taxes and other taxes in respect of the Property assessed for and first becoming a lien during the calendar year in which such ROFR Closing occurs (the “Current Year Taxes”) as shall be allocable to Landlord by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year on and after such date of the ROFR Closing). Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid (i) all delinquent real estate taxes as of the date of the ROFR Closing (to the extent incurred during the Applicable Tax Period) and (ii) so much of the Current Year Taxes as shall be allocable to Tenant (or its applicable Affiliate) by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year prior to the date of the ROFR Closing). Any Taxes which are payable in the calendar year in which a ROFR Closing occurs but are not due and payable at the time of such ROFR Closing and the portion of the Current Year Taxes not assumed by Landlord hereunder shall be credited to Landlord through a credit against the ROFR Purchase Price at the ROFR Closing reflected on the applicable closing statement. If the Current Year Taxes with respect to the Property have not been set as of the date thereof, the present tax rate and the most recent assessed valuation for the Property shall be used for the purposes of making the adjustments at such ROFR Closing under this paragraph and the Parties shall re-prorate within thirty (30) days following receipt of the actual final tax ▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute (with Landlord’s reasonable cooperation after the ROFR Closing, at no expense or liability to Landlord) and retain any recovery in connection with any tax appeals or contests with respect to taxes assessed against the Property for tax periods prior to the tax period that includes the ROFR Closing Date, provided such recovery action will not result in a deferral of taxes or reassessment against the Property that negatively affects Landlord.
(ix) If a lender or third-party consent is required in connection with the termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 2, Tenant will bear the responsibility of obtaining such consent and Tenant will pay all costs incurred in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

To the extent any closing mechanics applicable to the sale of the ROFR Property are not set forth in the Offer, the Parties shall apply the closing mechanics set forth in paragraph (vii) below. If Landlord expressly declines to exercise its ROFR or otherwise fails to timely exercise its ROFR, Tenant may proceed with the transfer of the Property with the third party making the Offer on substantially the same terms as those set forth therein. If the transfer to such third party has not been consummated on all such terms within one hundred eighty (180) days of Landlord so declining (or having been deemed to so decline) to exercise its ROFR, the ROFR will be reinstated in accordance with the terms hereof.

Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid (i) all delinquent real estate taxes as of the date of the ROFR Closing (to the extent incurred during the Applicable Tax Period) and (ii) so much of the Current Year Taxes as shall be allocable to Tenant (or its applicable Affiliate) by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year prior to the date of the ROFR Closing). Any Taxes which are payable in the calendar year in which a ROFR Closing occurs but are not due and payable at the time of such ROFR Closing and the portion of the Current Year Taxes not assumed by Landlord hereunder shall be credited to Landlord through a credit against the ROFR Purchase Price at the ROFR Closing reflected on the applicable closing statement. If the Current Year Taxes with respect to the Property have not been set as of the date thereof, the present tax rate and the most recent assessed valuation for the Property shall be used for the purposes of making the adjustments at such ROFR Closing under this paragraph and the Parties shall re-prorate within thirty (30) days following receipt of the actual final tax ▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute (with Landlord’s reasonable cooperation after the ROFR Closing, at no expense or liability to Landlord) and retain any recovery in connection with any tax appeals or contests with respect to taxes assessed against the Property for tax periods prior to the tax period that includes the ROFR Closing Date, provided such recovery action will not result in a deferral of taxes or reassessment against the Property that negatively affects Landlord.

Any failure of an Appraiser to timely deliver its designation of the Current FMV in accordance herewith shall be deemed for all purposes to constitute acceptance of the other Appraiseroriginal Tenant’s timely designation of the Current FMV. The Parties agree that the fees and expenses of each of the first and second Appraiser shall be borne by the Party who appointed such Appraiser, and the fees and expenses of the Third Appraiser shall be paid by the Party whose Appraiser’s designation is not chosen by the Third Appraiser.

As used herein, “Current FMV” means, as of any date of determination, the then-current fair market value of the Property, which shall be determined pursuant to the following procedures: Upon commencing discussions regarding the same, the Parties shall collaborate in an effort to mutually agree on the then-current fair market value of the Property. If the Parties do not reach mutual agreement within thirty (30) days of commencing such discussions, then within five (5) business days following the end of such thirty (30)-day period, each of the Parties will give notice to the other specifying the name and address of an appraiser; any such appraiser shall be an independent appraiser or valuation specialist or investment banker who is qualified to appraise property similar to the Property and is either a member of the Appraisal Institute (or any successor association or body of comparable standing if such Institute is not then in existence) or is a recognized valuation professional within the multifamily residential real estate industry, and has been actively engaged in the appraisal of multifamily residential properties for a period of not less than ten (10) years, immediately preceding its appointment under this Lease (any such appraiser, valuation specialist or investment banker meeting such standards shall be an “Appraiser”). The two Appraisers so chosen will meet within ten (10) days after notice of the selection of the second Appraiser and will endeavor to agree on the Current FMV. If, within fifteen (15) days after such notice, the two Appraisers do not agree unanimously on the Current FMV, the two Appraisers will together appoint a third Appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”).

In connection with any forced sale, Tenant will manage the process thereof, determine the sale price of the Property (which will be an arms’-length third party sale that maximizes the value of the Property) and negotiate the terms of the sale documentation, using the form of purchase and sale agreement attached hereto as Schedule 2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may be the purchaser of the Property at the forced sale, provided that in such event, Tenant shall pay a purchase price equal to the Lease Commencement FMV at such sale; and provided further, that, for the period of time commencing on the date of such sale and expiring on the one (1) year anniversary thereof, in the event Tenant subsequently intends to sell the Property pursuant to an offer received from a third party, for a gross purchase price that is less than the sum of (1) the Added Improvement Value Payment and (2) the Lease Commencement FMV, that Tenant is willing to accept (an “Offer”), then Landlord shall have a right of first refusal (a “ROFR”) with respect to any such sale of the Property.
(vi) In the event Tenant receives an Offer, Tenant will send Landlord a written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) detailing the material terms of the Offer (including purchase price and closing date), upon receipt of which Landlord will have thirty (30) days to accept or reject such Offer (or such shorter time as such Offer may permit) by delivering to Tenant written notice of the same. If Landlord timely delivers a written notice to Tenant that it intends to exercise its ROFR and proceed with the acquisition of the Property (an “Acceptance Notice”), Landlord will pay Tenant the purchase price set forth in the Offer (the “ROFR Purchase Price”), and the Parties will close on such ROFR pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, which shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2, as modified to reflect the terms of the Offer. To the extent any closing mechanics applicable to the sale of the ROFR Property are not set forth in the Offer, the Parties shall apply the closing mechanics set forth in paragraph (vii) below. If Landlord expressly declines to exercise its ROFR or otherwise fails to timely exercise its ROFR, Tenant may proceed with the transfer of the Property with the third party making the Offer on substantially the same terms as those set forth therein. If the transfer to such third party has not been consummated on all such terms within one hundred eighty (180) days of Landlord so declining (or having been deemed to so decline) to exercise its ROFR, the ROFR will be reinstated in accordance with the terms hereof.
(vii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and the Parties proceed to a sale of the Property, Landlord shall be required to make an ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money deposit (the “ROFR Deposit”) in an amount equivalent to three percent (3%) of the ROFR Purchase Price. The ROFR Deposit shall be delivered within five (5) Business Days following the delivery of the Acceptance Notice, by transfer of immediately available funds to a national title insurance company reasonably acceptable to Tenant, who shall perform the services of escrow agent for the closing of the Property. The ROFR Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Landlord (except in the event of a material default of Tenant in performing its closing obligations pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement for the transaction). The closing shall take place on the date set forth in the ROFR Notice (or on such earlier date as the Parties may mutually agree) (the “ROFR Closing Date”) and shall be completed through a customary closing escrow or held at the principal office of Tenant or such other location as the Parties shall agree upon at least five (5) Business Days prior to the ROFR Closing Date. The ROFR Purchase Price shall be paid in immediately available funds and Tenant shall convey good and marketable title (or other valid interests held by Tenant) in the subject ROFR Property to Landlord or its designee free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. If required by Landlord, all contracts and agreements between Tenant and any of its Affiliates in respect of the Property shall be terminated effective as of the ROFR Closing Date. Each Party agrees to cooperate and to take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to reflect the acquisition of the Property by Landlord (or its designee) pursuant to the terms hereof. The cost of any title insurance policy endorsements desired by Landlord shall be paid by Landlord. All other costs shall be borne by the Party who customarily bears such costs in the city and state in which the Property is located. Any risk of casualty, condemnation or loss following the date that the Acceptance Notice is delivered to Tenant and prior to the ROFR Closing Date shall be borne by Landlord, who shall succeed to all rights to insurance proceeds (other than loss of rent proceeds allocable to any period prior to the ROFR Closing Date) or condemnation awards. If the Parties fail to consummate the sale of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof within one hundred eighty days (180) of the date of the ROFR Notice, then Landlord shall no longer have a ROFR with respect to the Property and Tenant may proceed to sell, or cause the sale, of the Property to a third party (subject to the terms hereof).
(viii) In the event Landlord exercises its ROFR and proceeds to the acquisition of the Property (a “ROFR Closing”), then, solely with respect to the period of time commencing on the date on which Tenant acquired the Property pursuant to paragraph (v) above (the “Applicable Tax Period”), the following provisions shall apply: Landlord shall assume and agree to pay so much of the real estate taxes and other taxes in respect of the Property assessed for and first becoming a lien during the calendar year in which such ROFR Closing occurs (the “Current Year Taxes”) as shall be allocable to Landlord by proration (based upon the number of days in such calendar year on and after such date of the ROFR Closing). Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid (i) Tenant sells or assigns all delinquent real estate taxes as or substantially all of the date of the ROFR Closing (its assets to the extent incurred during the Applicable Tax Period) and another corporation or entity or (ii) so much of the Current Year Taxes as shall be allocable to Tenant (consolidates or merges its applicable Affiliate) by proration (based upon the number of days in business with such calendar year prior to the date of the ROFR Closing). Any Taxes which are payable in the calendar year in which a ROFR Closing occurs but are not due and payable at the time of such ROFR Closing and the portion of the Current Year Taxes not assumed by Landlord hereunder shall be credited to Landlord through a credit against the ROFR Purchase Price at the ROFR Closing reflected on the applicable closing statement. If the Current Year Taxes with respect to the Property have not been set as of the date thereof, the present tax rate and the most recent assessed valuation for the Property shall be used for the purposes of making the adjustments at such ROFR Closing under this paragraph and the Parties shall re-prorate within thirty (30) days following receipt of the actual final tax ▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute (with Landlord’s reasonable cooperation after the ROFR Closing, at no expense other corporation or liability to Landlord) and retain any recovery in connection with any tax appeals or contests with respect to taxes assessed against the Property for tax periods prior to the tax period that includes the ROFR Closing Date, provided such recovery action will not result in a deferral of taxes or reassessment against the Property that negatively affects Landlordentity.
(ix) If a lender or third-party consent is required in connection with the termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 2, Tenant will bear the responsibility of obtaining such consent and Tenant will pay all costs incurred in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 2 shall survive the termination of this Lease.
