CVNA 2019 Proxy Statement
- 43 - LEASE AGREEMENT In connection with the Spinoff, we entered into a lease agreement dated November 1, 2014, with DriveTime that governs our access to and utilization of space at DriveTime inspection and reconditioning centers (“IRCs”) for vehicle inspection and reconditioning in Blue Mound, Texas, and Delanco, New Jersey, and previously for inspection and reconditioning in Winder, Georgia. The lease agreement was most recently amended in December 2018. The agreement also governs utilization of office space and parking spaces at various IRCs and retail facilities that we use as hubs. Under the amended lease agreement, hubs generally have cancellable two-year terms subject to certain two consecutive one-year renewal options and subject to the terms of any master lease under which we are subleasing. We increased our utilization of the DriveTime IRCs in Blue Mound, Texas, and Delanco, New Jersey, to 100% as of July 2018. Under the lease agreement, we pay a monthly rental fee related to our pro rata utilization of space at such facilities plus a pro rata share of each facility’s actual insurance costs and real estate taxes. As it relates to locations where we recondition vehicles, our share of facility and reconditioning-supplies expenses are calculated monthly by multiplying the actual costs for operating the inspection centers by an amount related to our pro rata share of total reconditioned vehicles and parking spaces used at such IRCs in a given month. Total expenses related to this lease agreement were approximately $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Base rent during the initial term is $23.0 thousand per month, and the initial term expires on April 6, 2026. We have the option to extend the initial term for four additional consecutive five-year periods. Base rent during each extension term will increase 10% of the then-current base rent for each subsequent extension. TEMPE, AZ OFFICE LEASE In September 2016, we entered into an agreement to lease the second floor of our corporate headquarters in Tempe, Arizona beginning April 2017. Pursuant to this lease, we paid an initial monthly base rent of $107.0 thousand, which increases throughout the duration of the lease. The lease has an initial term of 83 months and we have three 5-year extension options.

In connection with this lease, we entered into a sublease with DriveTime for our use of the first floor of the same building.
