definite

I think this means that the person who has signed this rental agreement, knows that it is an agreemnt for 9 years and for the first 6 years it is definite. In other words the owners cannot change the agreement for the first 6 years.

fixed 6 year term


From the Landlord's perspective a «fixed 9 year term» is often held to give a certain stability to his income portfolio, but in order to avoid an automatic renewal of the existing conditions he must give notice often at least 6 months before end of the 9 year term (but this notice period could made longer contractually).

French Business Law:
Commercial leases are highly regulated and, to a considerable degree, standardized by French statute. For example, a standard 9-year term for French Commercial Leases is fixed by statute. There are breakpoints at the end of each three-year period (3-6-9), but only in favor of the tenant.
