Practice question: Right of First Refusal

Multiple Choice Easy

Practice question

In Equatorial, did the integrated lease first-refusal clause require a separately paid option fee merely to be binding as that clause?
  1. No; the lease consideration supported the integrated stipulation.
  2. Yes; every lease first-refusal clause is necessarily void without a second payment.
  3. Only the buyer’s private preference controls.
  4. No lease can contain priority rights.
  5. The clause automatically transfers title on lease signing.
