13. | Options to Purchase. The following is hereby inserted as new Paragraph 54 to the Rental Agreement: |
A. | Fair Market Value (FMV) Option to Purchase: Landlord hereby grants Tenant the right (but not the obligation) to purchase the Premises (the “FMV Purchase Option”) at any time during the Term of this Lease for a purchase price equal to the fair market value determined in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 54. |
i. | If Tenant desires to exercise the FMV Purchase Option at any time during the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall give written notice (the “FMV Purchase Option Notice”) to Landlord. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the FMV Purchase Option Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall appoint a mutually acceptable licensed real estate appraiser with at least ten (10) years of experience appraising residential properties of a similar size, type and location as the Premises (a “Qualified Appraiser”) to provide Landlord and Tenant with an appraisal setting forth the fair market value of the Premises. If Landlord and Tenant are able to agree upon a Qualified Appraiser within such thirty (30) day period, the Qualified Appraiser shall determine the fair market value of the Premises and issue his or her appraisal within thirty (30) days after such appointment and the determination of the fair market value by the Qualified Appraiser shall be the purchase price for the Premises. |
ii. | If Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree upon a Qualified Appraiser within the thirty (30) day period following the delivery of the FMV Purchase Option Notice, then within five (5) business days after the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a Qualified Appraiser to provide Landlord and Tenant, respectively, with an appraisal setting forth the fair market value of the Premises. Within twenty (20) days following their appointment, the two Qualified Appraisers so selected shall appoint a third, independent Qualified Appraiser who has not had any prior business relationship with either party (the “Independent Appraiser”). If an Independent Appraiser has not been so selected by the end of such twenty (20) day period, then either party, on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the local office of the American Arbitration Association or JAMS (or any successor thereto), or in the absence, failure, refusal or inability of such entity to act, then either party may apply to the presiding judge for the [***], for the appointment of such an Independent Appraiser, and the other party shall not raise any question as to the court’s full power and jurisdiction to entertain the application and make the appointment. |
iii. | Within five (5) days following notification of the identity of the Independent Appraiser so appointed, Landlord and Tenant shall submit copies of the appraisals prepared by the Qualified Appraiser selected by Landlord and Tenant to the Independent Appraiser. The Independent Appraiser shall select either the determination of fair market value by Landlord’s Qualified Appraiser or the determination of fair market value by Tenant’s Qualified Appraiser as the purchase price for the Premises and shall have no right to propose a middle ground or to modify either of the two proposals. The Independent Appraiser shall render a decision within fifteen (15) days after appointment. The decision of the Independent Appraiser shall be final and binding upon the parties, and may be enforced in accordance with the provisions of California law. Landlord shall be responsible for all costs of determining the fair market value of the Premises as provided in this Paragraph 54, except for Tenant shall be responsible for all costs associated with the Qualified Appraiser appointed by the Tenant. |
iv. | Within fifteen (15) days following the determination of the purchase price pursuant to either Paragraph (i) or (ii and iii) of this Paragraph 54, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a purchase and sale agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) that provides for the sale of the Property for such purchase price in an “as is, where is” condition (subject to the obligations of Paragraph 32 hereof) and that is otherwise in a commercially reasonable form consistent with custom and practice for |
the sale of similar residential properties in the County of [***], and shall thereafter consummate the transaction contemplated thereby. |
B. | Original Purchase Price Option: In addition to the FMV Purchase Option set forth above, during the period commencing January 1, 2026 and expiring December 31, 2026 (the “Original Purchase Price Option Period”), Landlord hereby grants Tenant a right (but not the obligation) to purchase the Premises at a purchase price equal to [***] (the “Original Purchase Price Option”). Tenant may exercise its Original Purchase Price Option by providing written notice to Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Original Purchase Price Period. If Tenant does not exercise its Original Purchase Price Option prior to the expiration of the Original Purchase Price Option Period, the Original Purchase Price Option shall be null and void. If Tenant does provide timely notice to Landlord of the exercise of the Original Purchase Price Option, within fifteen (15) days following such exercise, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a purchase and sale agreement that provides for the sale of the Property for such purchase price in an “as is, where is” condition (subject to the obligations of Paragraph 32 hereof) and that is otherwise in a commercially reasonable form consistent with custom and practice for the sale of similar residential properties in the County of [***], and shall thereafter consummate the transaction contemplated thereby. In addition, if Tenant exercises its Original Purchase Price Option, Tenant shall make adequate provision to the Company for applicable income and payroll tax withholding on the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Premises over the Original Purchase Price, and the Company shall be responsible for reporting and withholding on such amount. The fair market value of the Property for purposes of the Original Purchase Price shall be determined in the same manner as described above in Paragraph 13(A). |
C. | Nothing contained in this Paragraph 54 is intended to imply or create any obligation of Tenant to purchase the Premises at any time. The FMV Purchase Option and the Original Purchase Price Option will be exercisable by Tenant if, and only if, Tenant elects in its discretion to purchase the Premises. |
D. | Upon closing due to exercise of the Original Purchase Price Option or the FMV Purchase Option, Landlord shall pay for all closing costs except for the cost of a title policy, any surveys, any loan origination fees, or Tenant’s attorneys’ fees. |
