Pursuant to the lease, within 12 months of the expiration date of the initial term, the Company has the option to extend the lease for two additional five-year terms, with certain increases in base rent. In addition, provided that the Company meets certain conditions, the Company has the right of first refusal to lease an additional floor of the Building.
