C. Termination Option. In the event that Tenant has no 20-week period during the first three years after the date Tenant opens for business in which the total sales for said 20 weeks is greater than $_____ Million, then Tenant shall have an option to terminate this Lease as follows. Tenant shall have 90 days after the third anniversary of the date Tenant opens for business in which to notify Landlord that it wishes to exercise its option to terminate this Lease. If Tenant does not give Landlord written notice of said intention to terminate this Lease within said 90 day period, then any and all options Tenant has to terminate this Lease under this clause shall cease to exist. If Tenant notifies Landlord it wishes to exercise this option to terminate this Lease, it must inform Landlord in said written notification the exact date on which this Lease will terminate.
