8.		OPTION TO RENEW. By written notice given to Landlord at least twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the term of this Lease, Tenant may elect to renew this Lease for one (1) additional term of five (5) years. The renewal shall be upon all the terms and conditions of this Lease, except the base tent shall be at the then prevailing market rate with annual increases for similar spaces in the market area and provided further that Tenant shall have no further renewal options.

In the event Tenant so notifies Landlord, then Tenant shall commence rental payments on the date first indicated in Landlords notice and Tenant shall accept such space in its current condition without obligation of Landlord to make Leasehold improvements. If Tenant does not so notify Landlord within ten (10) days thereafter, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its Right of First Refusal and Landlord shall proceed to Lease the space. The Right of First Refusal is not assignable. The base rental rate shall be at the then prevailing market rate and annual increases for similar space in the market area. If the parties cannot then agree on the amount of the prevailing market rate, then the matter shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
