“MOTION: Mr. Boshart moved to lease the 40 acre field, located at 90 Wellesley Street, to Land's Sake, Inc., 27 Crescent Street, Weston, for a twenty (20) year term with an option to extend the lease for two additional five (5) year terms at the Town's sole discretion, substantially in the form provided, with revisions to section 10.6 as follows: "Reciprocal Right to Terminate - Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that, at any time following December 31, 2028, either party may, in its sole and absolute discretion* (except as stated below), terminate this Lease prior to the expiration of the Lease Term by providing the other party with no less than two (2) years' prior written notice, which termination shall be effective on December 31 of the year which is two (2) years following the date such written notice of termination was received by the other party. (By way of example, in the event the Landlord provides Tenant with a written notice of termination on March 1, 2029, the effective date of such termination shall be December 31, 2031.) In the event the Landlord exercises its right to terminate the Lease under this section, Landlord shall pay Tenant, prior to the effective date of such termination, an amount equal to the total of the then unamortized balance of all capital improvements made to the Premises (the "Termination Payment") between the effective date of this Lease and the effective date of such termination. Upon completion of each capital improvement to the Premises, the total cost of such capital improvement shall be amortized on a so-called straight line basis over the number of months in the useful life thereof (as determined by generally accepted accounting principles or on a straight line basis from date of installation or construction through December 31, 2038, whichever method causes the improvement to be amortized sooner) to determine a monthly reduction thereof, and the balance of the cost of such capital improvement shall be reduced each month by the monthly amortized amount so calculated. In no event shall the Landlord owe any unamortized balances for capital improvements beyond December 31, 2038. Each capital improvement shall have its own cost and amortization schedule and the then unamortized balances of all capital improvements as of the effective date of such termination shall be added together to determine the Termination Payment. At the time Tenant provides Landlord with its required financial reporting, it shall also include a running total of all capital improvements made, the total costs thereof and the then unamortized balance as of December 31 of the immediately preceding year. *Landlord may only terminate the lease under this section after 12/31/28, if it desires the right to use the property for municipal purposes, Selling the premises, or leasing the premises, to a third party are not considered municipal purposes.
