(a)

The term of this Lease shall be the period specified in Section "1.2" hereof as the "Lease Term". The "Rent Commencement Date" of this Lease shall commence on the earlier of (a) the opening for business or (b) six (6) months after the date when Landlord delivers the Building Pad to Tenant provided Landlord has substantially completed all other site work as set forth on Exhibit "L" by the end of such six (6) month period, unless Landlord is prevented by Tenant's failure to complete Tenant's Work as set forth on Exhibit "T", in which event Tenant shall commence paying rent at the end of such six (6) month period notwithstanding that Tenant may not have completed Tenant's Work or opened for business. Landlord will complete Landlord's Work when Tenant has completed such work to enable Landlord to complete its work. If Landlord's Work is not substantially complete by the end of the six (6) month period, not due to Tenant's fault, the Rent Commencement Date, shall be extended until Landlord's Work is substantially complete. If Tenant's building is not complete by the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall commence paying rent and all other charges subject to the provisions of this Section 3.1 (a) and the failure to have the building completed shall not be an Event of Default, unless the Tenant's building is not completed by the date provided in Section 3.3(a) below,

 



(b)

Upon the Rent Commencement Date, the Tenant shall (i) be obligated to commence payment of Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and all other charges required to be paid by the Tenant under this Lease, all of which shall be deemed to be additional rent and (ii) be required to perform all obligations required to be performed by the Tenant under the terms of the Lease (in addition to the obligations required to be performed by the Tenant prior to the Rent Commencement Date).

 



(c)

(d)

It is understood and agreed that at such time as Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees enter the Premises after the Execution Date and prior to the Rent Commencement Date, for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation, the performance of Tenant's Work, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the parties as if the Lease Term had begun at such time excepting those provisions as to Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and any other charges payable by Tenant, which shall go into effect as of the Rent Commencement Date, even if Tenant's Work is not completed. Tenant shall place in its name, any utilities which Tenant requires during the performance of Tenant's Work, and Tenant shall be responsible for any and all utility charges incurred.

 

3.2

LANDLORD'S WORK AND ESTIMATED OCCUPANCY DATE.


 

 



(a)

Subject to delay by causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or those set forth in Section 17.21 of this Lease, or attributable to Tenant's action or inaction, Landlord shall use reasonable speed and diligence to perform the work to be performed by Landlord, as specified in Exhibit "L", Landlord's Work shall be performed in accordance with all applicable laws and codes. Landlord's work shall primarily consist of the preparation of the building pad to specifications provided by Tenant and attached hereto as Exhibit "L" and preparation of the Site Work as defined in Exhibit "L".

 



(b)(l)

When Landlord Substantially Completes the Building Pad (as the term "Substantial Completion" is defined below), Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord's intent to tender possession of the Building ("Pad Delivery Notice") and Tenant shall have ten (10) business days from receipt of the Pad Delivery Notice to inspect the Building Pad to assure that it complies with all requirements of Tenant's Plans. Upon acceptance of the Building Pad by Tenant or the failure of Tenant to object to Landlord's Work within said ten (10) business day period, Landlord shall have no further responsibility or liability to Tenant for any matters arising out of Landlord's preparation of the Building Pad. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice within the ten (10) business day inspection period of any deficiencies in the Building Pad and upon completion or correction of such deficiencies, Landlord shall promptly provide Tenant with a new Pad Delivery Notice. Landlord agrees to use all reasonable efforts to complete the Building Pad by July 1,2009 (provided all of Tenant's contingencies to this Lease are either satisfied or waived by June 1, 2009), but such date is merely a target date (the "Target Date") and Tenant agrees to accept Landlord's tender of possession when the Building Pad has been completed, provided, however, if Landlord has not delivered the Pad Delivery Notice within ninety (90) days after the Target Date, subject to the matters provided in Section 17.21 of this Lease, Tenant may, upon ten (10) business days written notice to Landlord, complete the balance of Landlord's Work to be completed and bill the actual and reasonable cost thereof to Landlord unless Landlord commences to complete the Building Pad within said ten (10) day period and proceeds with due diligence to complete the same. If Landlord fails to pay Tenant's costs of completing the Building Pad within ten (10) business days after receipt of Tenant's bill, Tenant may deduct such sum plus interest at the default rate as set forth in Section 17.4 of this Lease, from the Minimum Rent, Additional Rent due and owing to Landlord until such bill is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that if the contingencies to this Lease are either satisfied or waived prior to June 1, 2009, Landlord agrees to use all reasonable efforts to complete the Building Pad within thirty (30) days after the date that Landlord receives written notice confirming all of the contingencies have been either satisfied or waived.

(b)(2)

When Landlord Substantially Completes Landlord's Work, other than the Building Pad, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord's intent to tender possession of the Premises ("Notice of Tender") and Tenant shall have ten (10) business days from receipt of the Notice of Tender to inspect Landlord's Work to assure that it complies with all requirements of Tenant's Plans and of this Section "3.2". Upon acceptance of the Landlord's work by Tenant or the failure of Tenant to object to Landlord's Work within said ten (10) business day period, such Landlord's Work shall be deemed substantially complete, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice within the ten (10) business day inspection period of any deficiencies in Landlord's Work and upon completion or correction of such deficiencies, Landlord shall promptly provide Tenant with a new Notice of Tender. Landlord agrees to use all reasonable efforts to complete Landlord's Work, other than the Building Pad, by November 1, 2009 (provided all of Tenant's contingencies are either satisfied or waived by June 1, 2009), and provided that Tenant has completed no later than October 1, 2009 its building construction and completed the installation of its drive-thru canopy, but such date is merely a target date, (the "Remainder Work Target Date") and Tenant agrees to accept Landlord's tender of possession when the Landlord's Work at the Premises has been Substantially Completed; provided, however, if Landlord has not give the Notice of Tender within ninety (90) days after the Remainder Work Target Date, subject to the matters provided in Section "17,21" of this Lease and provided that the delay is not the result of Tenant's failure to complete its building construction and complete the installation of its drive-thru canopy, Tenant may, either upon ten (10) business days written notice to Landlord, complete the balance of Landlord's Work to be completed and bill the actual and reasonable cost thereof to Landlord, unless Landlord commences to complete Landlord's Work within said ten (10) day period and proceeds with due diligence to complete. If Landlord fails to pay Tenant's costs of completing Landlord's Work within ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant's bill, Tenant may deduct such sum plus interest at the default rate as set forth in Section 17.4 of this Lease from the Minimum Rent, Additional Rent due and owing to Landlord until such bill is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that if the contingencies to this Lease are either satisfied or waived prior to June 1, 2009, the Landlord agrees to use all reasonable efforts to complete Landlord's Work, other than the Building Pad, within thirty (30) days after the date that Tenant has completed its building construction and completed the installation of its drive-thru canopy.



 



(c)

"Substantial Completion", as used in this Article, shall mean completed subject to minor punch list items which shall be completed by Landlord within thirty (30) days of the Notice of Tender, or completed by Tenant pursuant to Section 3.3 above to such an extent that Tenant may reasonably commence and thereafter continue to perform the work to be performed by Tenant under Exhibit "T" without undue interference with the balance of the work to be performed by Landlord in the Premises, in accordance with Exhibit "L", or unreasonable interference by Landlord with the work to be performed by Tenant in the Premises, in accordance with Exhibit "T".

 



(d)

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any utility, traffic and Township impact fees in an amount not to exceed $15,000.00. Such amount shall be due and payable by Tenant on the Rent Commencement Date,

 



(e)

This Lease is contingent on Landlord being able to secure proper zoning, site plan and land development approvals. If said approvals are not issued by June 1, 2009, Landlord or Tenant shall be permitted to terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days written notice to the other party in which event this Lease will be deemed terminated as of the date set forth in said notice unless the approvals are received within said ten (10) day period. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that in the event this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 3.2(e) that neither party shall be entitled to reimbursement for any costs they have incurred in connection with this transaction.

 

3.3

Tenant's improvements are hereinafter referred to as "Tenant's Work", shall be constructed pursuant to the final plans and specifications to be provided by Tenant to Landlord for Landlord's approval within thirty (30) days after the execution of this Lease, which Plans are to be annexed hereto as part of Exhibit "T".

 

Tenant shall provide original final lien waivers from its contractors and all subcontractors within thirty (30) days of the earlier of the date Tenant opens for business or the date Tenant completes its work.

If the entire Premises shall be taken, then in such event this Lease shall cease and terminate from the date of title vesting in such public body (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein).

 



(c)

If a portion of the building on the Premises or adjacent parking area or access to same, as in the reasonable opinion of Landlord or Tenant, would render the balance of the Premises unsuitable for the purposes of Tenant, shall be taken or if in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord or the Tenant a taking shall result in such a diminution of the parking area in the Shopping Center as would make it economically impracticable to continue to operate the business of the Tenant because of lack of adequate and available parking facilities, or if in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord or the Tenant a taking shall deprive the Premises or the Shopping Center of adequate and convenient motor vehicle access to any of the principal highways serving the Shopping Center, then Landlord or the Tenant, upon written notice to Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, shall be entitled to terminate this Lease, provided that such notice is given before the last to expire of the thirty (30) day period after the taking authority has taken actual physical possession of any portion of the Premises, said parking area or said highway access and twenty (20) days after notice from Landlord to Tenant or Tenant to the Landlord of the fact of such taking.

Landlord shall make available the Common Areas for the common benefit of the tenants and occupants of the Shopping Center. Landlord shall operate, manage, equip, insure, repair and maintain such Common Areas for their intended purposes in a first class manner as Landlord shall reasonably determine. Landlord shall at all times have the right to reasonably determine, reasonably change or reasonably alter the nature, extent, size or location of the Common Areas, provided such alterations do not affect access to or visibility of the Premises and Landlord shall not be subject to liability therefor, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or abatement of rent on account of any such determination or change, nor shall any such action be deemed an actual or a constructive eviction of Tenant. It is understood and agreed that Landlord may construct or demolish and reconstruct additional improvements and buildings on the parcels designated as Out Parcels or "Future" or "Small Shops" on the Site Plan but not otherwise in the Common Areas and incorporate such parcels into the Shopping Center which parcels shall be subject to all conditions imposed on all tenants by virtue of the leases entered into by Landlord.

The statement shall be binding upon Tenant unless objected to by Tenant within twelve (12) months after it is given. If such statement shows that Tenant's CAM exceeds the monthly installments previously paid to Landlord, then Tenant shall pay Landlord the excess. If such statement shows that Tenant's monthly installments exceeds Tenant's CAM, then the overpayment to Landlord shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant or, at Landlord's election, credited to the next amount due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease. Provided Tenant is not in monetary or other material default under the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right not more often than once per Lease Year, to conduct an audit, following at least fifteen (15) days written notice and during business hours of Business Days, of Landlord's books and records pertaining to Common Area Maintenance and Real Estate Taxes at the offices of the Landlord.

ARTICLE XX

 

LEASEHOLD MORTGAGE

 


 

20.1

LEASEHOLD MORTGAGE. Tenant and every successor and assignee of Tenant is hereby given the right by Landlord, in addition to any other rights herein granted, without Landlord's prior written consent, to mortgage its interest in this Lease under a leasehold mortgage one or more times and to assign Tenant's interest under this Lease as collateral security for such mortgage upon the condition that all rights acquired under such mortgage shall be subject to each and all of the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Lease, and to all rights, interest and estate of Landlord herein, none of which covenants, conditions or restrictions are or shall be waived by Landlord by reason of the right so given to mortgage such interest, except as expressly provided herein. If Tenant and/or Tenant's successors and assigns shall mortgage their leasehold interest (a "Leasehold Mortgage") and if the holder(s) of such mortgage (a "Leasehold Mortgagee") shall send to Landlord written notice specifying the name and address of the mortgagee (any such lender that shall have given such notice only if such lender is not an affiliate of Tenant shall be deemed a "Recognized Mortgagee" and any mortgage held by such Recognized Mortgagee, a "Recognized Mortgagee"), Landlord agrees that so long as any such Recognized Mortgage shall remain unsatisfied of record or until written notice of satisfaction is given by the holder to Landlord, the following provisions shall apply;

 

(a)           In the event Recognized Mortgage exercises its right to execute on its security interest in the Lease, Recognized Mortgagee shall acquire all Tenant's rights under this Lease, including options to renew, and shall agree to comply with and otherwise by bound by the terms and conditions of this Lease from and after the effective date of such assignment while (or with respect to any period of time that) Recognized Mortgagee or its designee is in possession of the Demised Premises, Recognized Mortgagee shall cure any monetary and non-monetary defaults of Tenant which arise prior to the date of any assignment of this Lease to Recognized Mortgagee or its designee. In such case, if requested by Recognized Mortgagee, Landlord and Recognized Mortgagee shall cooperate in executing a new lease for the Premises in accordance with this Lease. On request by Recognized Mortgagee, Landlord shall deliver a Landlord's estoppel to Recognized Mortgagee confirming that the Lease is in full force and effect, and whether there are any outstanding defaults.

 

(b)           Except following an event of default, as set forth in Paragraph (d) below, there shall be no cancellation, surrender or modification of this Lease by joint action of Landlord and Tenant without the prior consent in writing of the Recognized Mortgagee;



   

34


   



(c)           On request by Tenant, Landlord shall deliver a Landlord's estoppel to Tenant's proposed leasehold mortgagee and to Tenant's Recognized Mortgagee, confirming that the Lease is in full force and effect, and whether there are any outstanding defaults;

 

(d)           Landlord shall, upon serving Tenant with any notice of default, simultaneously serve a copy of such notice upon the Recognized Mortgagee who has given Landlord written notice as aforesaid, which default notice shall be served upon such Recognized Mortgagee in the manner specified in 17.6 of this Lease, Landlord shall only be required to provide written notice of default to Recognized Mortgagee if Landlord is required to provide written notice of default to Tenant. Upon written request by Recognized Mortgagee at any time after Landlord has provided a default notice to Tenant, Landlord will provide written confirmation of Tenant's cure or failure to cure the default. If Tenant shall not cure any such defaults within such time period, the Recognized Mortgagee shall have a period of twenty (20) days more, in the case of a monetary default, and thirty (30) days more, in the case of all other defaults, than is given to Tenant to cure such default (or to commence and diligently pursue such cure), to remedy the default in question and the Landlord shall accept such performance on the part of the Recognized Mortgagee as though the same had been done or performed by the Tenant.

 

(e)           Anything herein contained notwithstanding, while such Recognized Mortgage remains unsatisfied of record or until written notice of satisfaction is given by the Recognized Mortgagee to Landlord, if any


 

default in the payment of rent or other monetary sum shall occur which, pursuant to any provision of this Lease entitles Landlord to terminate this Lease and if before the expiration of thirty (30) days following the date of service of termination upon such Recognized Mortgagee, any such Recognized Mortgagee shall have notified Landlord, in writing, of its desire to nullify such notice and shall have paid to Landlord all Rent and other payments herein provided for and then in default, then in such event, Landlord shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease due to such monetary default and any notice of termination theretofore given due to such monetary default shall be void and of no effect.

 

(f)           If this Lease shall be terminated because of Tenant's bankruptcy or other default which cannot by its nature be cured by the Recognized Mortgagee, the Recognized Mortgagee, if any, or its assignee or nominee, shall have the right by written notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after notice to the Recognized Mortgagee of such termination to enter into a new lease of the Premises with Landlord for the balance of the term remaining as of the date of any such default, on the same terms and conditions as those contained herein and at the rental prevailing under this Lease and with such rental increases thereafter in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Such new lease, by virtue of the recording of this Lease (or a short form or memorandum thereof), shall have priority equal to this Lease, provided that Landlord shall not be deemed to have made any representation regarding such priority.

 

(g)           A Recognized Mortgagee (or its designee or nominee) may become the legal owner and holder of the interest of Tenant under the Lease, including, without limitation, the interest of Tenant in all improvements erected by Tenant on the Premises, by foreclosure or other enforcement proceedings, or by obtaining an assignment of the Lease in lieu of foreclosure or through settlement of or arising out of any pending or threatened foreclosure proceeding, without Landlord's consent and without any obligation to assume the Lease, but subject to the applicable terms and provisions of the Lease. In the event the Recognized Mortgagee becomes the holder of the interest of Tenant under the Lease, the obligations of the Recognized Mortgagee under the Lease shall be nonrecourse, and Landlord shall look solely to the interest of the Recognized Mortgagee in the Premises for the recovery of any judgment against the Recognized Mortgagee, and Landlord hereby covenants and agrees not to bring any action or suit seeking to impose liability on the Recognized Mortgagee beyond its interest in the Premises. Such right of non-recourse shall be personal to the Recognized Mortgagee or other mortgagee and shall not apply to any other assignee, transferee or other holder of the Lease. Further, the Recognized Mortgagee (or its designee or nominee) shall have the right thereafter to assign the Lease to a "Permitted Assignee" (as hereafter defined), without any requirement for prior notice to or consent by Landlord, but subject to the other terms and provisions of the Lease, provided, that, promptly following such assignment, the Recognized Mortgagee or such assignee shall notify the Landlord of such assignment, including the name and address of the assignee. As used herein, "Permitted Assignee" shall mean an assignee who shall operate a business at the Premises which will not violate any of the Prohibited Uses set forth in this Lease nor violate the terms of any exclusive use now in effect and/or granted by Landlord after the date of this Lease.



   

35


   



(h)           Upon the delivery to Landlord of a duplicate original of an instrument of assignment containing the assignee's assumption of the Lease (subject to the provisions of the Lease), such assignee of the Recognized Mortgagee shall become Tenant, and shall be substituted for the Recognized Mortgagee as the owner and holder of the Lease for all purposes, as of the effective date of such assignment (and from and after the effective date of such assignment), the Recognized Mortgagee (or its designee or nominee) shall be relieved from all liability under the Lease.

 

(i)           If more than one Recognized Mortgagee has exercised any of the rights afforded by this section, only that Recognized Mortgagee, to the exclusion of all other Recognized Mortgagees, whose Recognized Mortgage is most senior in lien shall be recognized by Landlord as having exercised such right, for so long as such Recognized Mortgagee shall be diligently exercising its rights under this Lease with respect thereto, and thereafter only the Recognized Mortgagee whose Recognized Mortgage is next most senior in lien shall


 

be recognized by Landlord, unless such Recognized Mortgagee has designated a Recognized Mortgagee whose mortgage is junior in lien to exercise such right.

If requested by Tenant or Recognized Mortgagee, Landlord shall also cause its fee mortgagee to execute and deliver a lender non-disturbance agreement in substantially the form attached hereto.

1. Subordination of Lease. The lien of the Lease is, and shall at all times during the term of the Mortgage be, subject and subordinate to the provisions and lien of the Mortgage to the extent of the secured indebtedness under the Mortgage.

 

2. Attainment by Tenant. Tenant agrees that if the interests of Landlord in the Leased Premises shall be transferred to Bank or to any purchaser pursuant to a foreclosure sale, transfer in lieu of foreclosure, or sale or other transfer pursuant to a Landlord bankruptcy (hereafter, collectively "Purchaser"), Tenant shall be bound to Bank or to such Purchaser under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof and any extensions or renewals thereof with the same force and effect as if Bank or such Purchaser were the Landlord under the Lease.

In such case, Bank may join Tenant as a defendant only for such purpose and not to terminate the Lease or otherwise adversely affect Tenant's rights under the same.

 

B.           Bank or such Purchaser shall not be bound by any amendments or modification to the Lease, unless made with Bank's written consent.

4. Lease Approval. Bank hereby consents and approves the Lease, including any amendments thereto existing as of the date hereof, and agrees that the exercise by Tenant of the rights, remedies and options provided for therein do not and shall not constitute a default under the Mortgage.

Landlord hereby consents to Tenant's payment of the rent and other sums directly to Bank upon Tenant's receipt of any such notice, and releases Tenant from any claim or liability related thereto.

 

6. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall bind and benefit the parties, their successors and assigns.
