Leases
 
Clearfield leases a
71,000
square foot facility at
7050
Winnetka Avenue North, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota consisting of our corporate offices, manufacturing and warehouse space. The lease term is
ten
years and
two
months and commenced on
January 1, 2015. 
On
June 30, 2019,
the Company amended its lease to add
14,000
square feet to this facility, with the lease term for the additional space coterminous with the original lease. Upon proper notice and payment of a termination fee of approximately
$249,000,
the Company has a
one
-time option to terminate the lease effective as of the last day of the
eighth
year of the term after the Company commenced paying base rent. The renewal and termination options have
not
been included within the lease term because it is
not
reasonably certain that we will exercise either option.
 
We also have an indirect lease arrangement for a
46,000
square foot manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico. The lease term is
three
years and commenced on
August 1, 2017.
This lease does
not
contain a written option to renew.
 
On
February 12, 2020,
the Company entered into an indirect lease arrangement for an additional
52,000
square foot manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico. The lease term is approximately
42
months and commenced on
February 12, 2020.
The lease contains written options to renew for
two
additional consecutive periods of
three
years each.
 
Right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized as of the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term which includes renewal periods we are reasonably certain to exercise. Our leases do
not
contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. As of
March 31, 2020,
