If the lease provides for an option to renew, the lease must specify:

The time and manner in which the option must be exercised or is automatically effective;

That confirmation of the renewal will be submitted to us, unless the lease provides for automatic renewal;

Whether Indian landowner consent to the renewal is required;

That the lessee must provide notice of the renewal to the Indian landowners and any sureties and mortgagees;

The additional consideration, if any, that will be due upon the exercise of the option to renew or the start of the renewal term; and

Any other conditions for renewal (e.g., that the lessee not be in violation of the lease at the time of renewal).

We will record any renewal of a lease in the LTRO.
