(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,

(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.

 

 

5


 

 

(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.

Upon request of Tenant, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with evidence of the inclusion of such clause or endorsement in such policies; and Landlord shall notify Tenant if such clause or endorsement is thereafter deleted from such policies or any renewals thereof.
