In addition, the Company has an option to extend the Lease for an additional five-year term, which would commence upon the expiration of the initial term. In the event the Company elects to extend the Lease, the minimum monthly rent payable for the additional term will be the then-current fair market rent calculated in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
