(6) months after the date when Landlord delivers the Building Pad

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

substantially complete. If Tenant's building is not complete by the
Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall commence paying rent and all

provided in Section 3.3(a) below,
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
As soon as may

Landlord and Tenant agree to join with each other in the execution
of a Commencement Certificate, in the form set forth on Exhibit
"C". The Rent Commencement Date and specified term of this Lease
shall be stated in said Commencement Certificate.

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.

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

(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.

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

Center and/or in connection with Landlord's use of the Premises. In
the event Tenant shall be made a party to any litigation or
proceeding commenced by or against Landlord (except with respect to

result of a breach of this Lease by Tenant), then Landlord shall
protect and hold Tenant harmless and shall pay all costs and

public liability and property damage insurance under which Landlord
is a named insured, from and against all costs, expenses and/or
liability arising out of any and all accidents, injuries and
damages mentioned in the first paragraph of this Section "8.3", in
the form of such standard coverage from time to time available in
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The limits of liability of such

covering other premises, shall be noncancelable without thirty (30)
days' written prior notice to Tenant and a duplicate or original or

SCOPE OF
INDEMNITY. The indemnity and hold harmless agreements of Landlord
and Tenant contained herein shall include indemnity against all
costs, and expenses incurred in or in connection with any such
claim and the defense thereof, before, during and at trial and any

LANDLORD'S ACCESS TO
PREMISES
REIMBURSEMENTS AND RIGHTS OF SELF
HELP
|
|
LANDLORD'S
RIGHT OF ACCESS. Landlord shall have the right
with reasonable prior notice to Tenant and at times reasonably
convenient to Landlord and Tenant, and accompanied by a
representative of Tenant to make access available to prospective or
existing mortgagees or purchasers of any part of the Shopping
Center or to inspect the Premises to determine if repairs are
required. If repairs are required to be made by Tenant pursuant to
the terms hereof, Landlord may by notice demand that Tenant make
the same forthwith, and if Tenant refuses or neglects to commence
such repairs and complete the same with reasonable dispatch, after
such demand, Landlord may (but shall not be required to do so) make
or cause such repairs to be made (at such times and in such manner
as to minimize any interference with Tenant's business operations
in the Premises), and the Landlord shall not be responsible for any
loss or damage to Tenant's business by reason thereof except if
such loss or damage arises out of the negligence of Landlord as
provided herein. If Landlord makes or causes such repairs to be
made, Tenant agrees that it will forthwith, on demand, pay to
Landlord the reasonable cost thereof, and if it shall default in
such payment, Landlord shall have the remedies provided for the
non-payment of rent or other charges payable hereunder. Likewise,
if any repairs are required to be made by Landlord under the terms
of this Lease, and it fails or refuses to make such repairs, within
a reasonable time after notice from Tenant of the need for such
repairs, then Tenant shall have the right to make such required
repairs in which event Landlord agrees that it will on demand pay
to the Tenant the cost thereof. In the event of an emergency where
something is required to be done forthwith in order to avoid
damage, either party shall have the foregoing right of self-help
without the requirement of formal notice; however, this emergency
right as well as the foregoing right of self-help shall be
carefully and judiciously exercised by either party, it being
understood and agreed that wherever possible, the party initially
responsible for taking such action should be given sufficient
opportunity so to do in order to avoid any conflict with respect to
whether or not self-help should have been invoked or with respect
to the reasonableness of the expenses thus incurred.
|
|
|
EXHIBITION OF
SPACE TO PROSPECTIVE TENANTS. For a period commencing twelve (12)
months prior to the expiration of the term of this Lease, Landlord
may, at reasonable times upon notice to Tenant, have access to the
Premises accompanied by a representative of Tenant for the purpose
of exhibiting the same to prospective tenants.
|
|
|
FIRE AND
EXTENDED COVERAGE INSURANCE.
|
|
|
|
Tenant shall
keep the Premises and all leasehold improvements installed in the
Premises by the Tenant (and all of Tenant's Trade Fixtures and
Equipment, Tenant's merchandise, furnishings, equipment, personal
property and plate glass, Tenant's wall covering, floor covering,
carpeting and drape, and fixtures and equipment installed by
Tenant) insured against loss or damage by fire, with the usual
extended coverage and all risk endorsements, including flood and
earthquake, in amounts not less than the full insurable,
replacement value thereof above foundations. Tenant shall also
obtain rental interruption insurance for the benefit of the
Landlord. Landlord shall be named as an additional insured on said
policy using ISO Form 20-26.
|
|
|
|
If Tenant fails
to obtain or maintain the policy required by section 10.1 (a)
above, this shall be considered an Event of Default under this
Lease which must be cured upon three (3) days written notice. In
the event Tenant fails to maintain the insurance provided for
herein, Landlord may obtain such policy and in such event, Tenant
agrees to pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, all such insurance
premiums separately assessed against the Premises or Tenant's
Allocable Share, if such insurance is contained in a blanket policy
covering the Shopping Center, as computed under Section "12.3", of
any such insurance premiums for the Premises as computed under
Section "12.3", as estimated by Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord its Allocable Share of such premiums relating to
the Common Areas, within twenty (20) days after Tenant receives a
bill for such premium from the Landlord. For the
insurance years in which this Lease commences and terminates, the
provisions of this paragraph shall apply and Tenant's liability for
its Allocable Share of any insurance for such year shall be subject
to a pro-rata adjustment based on the number of days of said
year(s) during which the term of this Lease was in
effect.
|
|
|
SPRINKLER
SYSTEM. The Tenant shall perform and pay for all charges levied or
assessed for services and maintenance related to the sprinkler or
to fire protection of the said systems servicing only the
Premises.
|
|
|
FIXTURES AND
EQUIPMENT INSTALLED BY TENANT. The Tenant shall also at its sole
cost and expense, be responsible for carrying insurance against
fire and such other risks as are from time to time reasonably
required by the Landlord, including, but not limited to a standard
"All Risk" policy of property insurance protecting against all risk
of physical loss or damage in amounts not less than the replacement
cost covering the Fixtures and Equipment, Tenant's merchandise,
wall coverings, floor coverings, carpeting, drapes and other
equipment and items of personal property. Tenant shall provide to
Landlord certificates of insurance (and of each renewal or
replacement thereof) evidencing the above. In the event Tenant
fails to provide a certificate of insurance evidencing compliance
with this Section, Landlord may, but is not obligated to, obtain
such insurance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the premium
therefore upon demand.
|
|
|
INSURANCE
RATES. Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall not permit
anything to be done in or upon the Premises or bring in anything or
keep anything therein, which shall increase the rate of insurance
on the Premises and/or the Building and/or the Shopping Center
above the standard rate on said Premises and/or Building and/or the
Shopping Center for the Permitted Use(s), but if it shall do so, it
will promptly pay to Landlord on demand any such increase resulting
therefrom, which shall be due and payable on demand as additional
rent hereunder.
|
|
|
NON-SUBROGATION
AGAINST TENANT. Landlord hereby releases Tenant or anyone claiming
through the Tenant from any liability or responsibility (to
Landlord or anyone claiming through or under Landlord by way of
subrogation) for any loss or damage to Landlord's property or loss
of rents caused by fire or other risks covered, or required
hereunder to be covered, in Landlord's fire policies and in
Landlord's policies of rental insurance, if any, even if such loss
or damage shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of
Tenant (or its agents or employees) provided, however, that this
release shall apply and be effective if and only so long as the
loss or damage in question shall be covered, or under the
Landlord's said insurance required hereunder would have been
covered, by a policy or policies containing a clause or endorsement
substantially to the effect that any such release by the insured
shall not adversely affect, impair, or prejudice the right of the
insured to recover for such loss or damage. Landlord agrees to use
its best efforts to have such policies contain such clause or
endorsement without any extra charge or premium therefor, but if
there shall be any extra charge or premium, Landlord shall be
excused from obtaining or maintaining such clause or endorsement in
said policies unless Tenant shall promptly after notice reimburse
Landlord for such extra charge or premium. 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.
|
|
|
NON-SUBROGATION
AGAINST LANDLORD. Tenant hereby releases Landlord or anyone
claiming through the Landlord from any liability or responsibility
(to Tenant or anyone claiming through or under Tenant by way of
subrogation) for any loss or damage to Tenant's property or loss of
income caused by fire or other risks covered, or required hereunder
to be covered, in Tenant's fire policies and in Tenant's policy of
business interruption insurance, if any, even if such loss or
damage shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the
Landlord or its agents or employees; provided,
