b. North Lot. If within 18 months of the date of this First Amendment, Tenant is able to complete all of the following related to 23634 Woodward Ave, Pleasant Ridge MI 48069 with an APN of 25-27-181-003 (the “North Lot”): (i) obtain authorization from all required jurisdictions (including the City of Pleasant Ridge) that the use of the North Lot parking spaces is no longer required and releases Landlord from all obligations related to the North Lot under the Declaration of Restrictions and Parking Easement (the “Parking Agreement”), and (ii) confirm that the Tenant is able to continue to use the lot for purposes of ingress and egress, and (iii) Tenant is able to arrange a deal with the seller of the North Lot, which is currently under a Land Contract with outstanding installment payments, that (x) provides Landlord with indemnity from Tenant that completely releases Landlord of any operational obligations or liabilities related to the North Lot, (y) provides Landlord with indemnity from Tenant that completely release Landlord of any financial obligations or liabilities related to the North Lot, and (z) does not cause any encumbrance or legal liability to the remaining properties at the Premises; then within 30 days of Landlord’s receipt of written confirmation from all appropriate parties that all requirements noted above have been satisfied, at Landlord sole discretion, Landlord agrees that the parties shall enter into a Lease Amendment acknowledging the same and modifying Tenant’s lease base rental rate to be reduced by $3,846 for the Lease.

Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by its lender. Accordingly, if any Rent is not received by Lessor within five (5) days after such amount is due, then, without any requirement for notice to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to FIVE (5%) percent of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of any breach or default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. Following the First Amendment Effective Date, in the event that a late charge is payable, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Base Rent, during any Lease Year, then notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Landlord’s option, become due and payable quarterly in advance.
2
Any monetary payment due to Landlord not received by Landlord when due shall bear interest from the 31st day after it was due. The interest (“Interest” or “Overdue Rate”) charged shall be computed at the rate of 12% per annum but shall not exceed the maximum rate allowed by law.

Tenant shall cause a total of at least EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND Dollars ($850,000.00) (US) to be spent toward capital improvements to the Premises (the “Commitment Improvements” and/or the “Capital Commitment”). Any such Commitment Improvements shall be made in accordance with the Lease as amended. Commitment Improvements to be counted toward satisfying the Capital Commitment shall include capital improvements to the Premises and any part thereof, as well as other improvements approved in advance in writing by Landlord, and shall exclude soft costs, permit, design, architectural and engineering fees, and legal fees. Tenant acknowledges that the Capital Commitment is material to Landlord and Landlord would not have agreed to enter into this First Amendment but for Tenant’s obligations in this paragraph. If the Capital Commitment is not completed in the prescribed time period, as evidenced by invoices or similar documentation reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Tenant’s failure shall constitute an Event of Default under the Lease.” |
g. Renovation Completion and Store Opening. A new Section 17.32 Renovation Completion and Store Opening under Article 17: Miscellaneous of the Lease is hereby added with the following by this First Amendment:
“17.32 | Renovation Completion and Store Opening. Tenant shall cause its Capital Commitment at the Premises (the “Renovation Completion Commitment”) to be completed within three (3) months after the First Amendment Effective Date (the “Renovation Completion Commitment Date”).

Tenant acknowledges that the Renovation Completion Commitment is material to Landlord and Landlord would not have agreed to enter into this First Amendment but for Tenant’s obligations in this paragraph. If the Renovation Completion Commitment is not completed in the prescribed time period, Tenant’s failure shall constitute an Event of Default under the Lease.” Landlord shall grant Tenant up to two (2) additional 30-day extension upon request, so long as at the time of the extension the site is conducting inspections toward certificate of occupancy. |
