insurance, proof of which will be supplied to Landlord upon written request from Landlord as soon
as practicable.

procure all permits and licenses and make all contracts necessary for the construction of Tenant’s
Work. Tenant’s Work shall fully conform to all applicable statutes, ordinances, regulations and
codes. Prior to commencing any work, Tenant shall require its contractors and subcontractors to

with the plans. Simultaneously with such written notice, Tenant shall furnish Landlord

waivers from all persons performing work on or supplying materials to the Premises, and a
certificate of occupancy issued by the appropriate governmental authority.

title of Landlord in and to the Premises, nor shall the interest or estate of Landlord in the
Premises be in any way subject to any claim by virtue of any act or omission of Tenant except as
provided herein. Any claim to a lien upon the Premises arising from any act or omission of Tenant
shall be valid only against Tenant and shall in all respects be subordinate to the title and rights
of Landlord, and any person claiming through Landlord, in and to the Premises. Tenant shall remove
any lien or encumbrance on its interest in the Premises within thirty (30) days after it has
arisen; provided, however, that Tenant may in good faith contest any such item if it notifies
Landlord in writing thereof and posts a bond or other security with Landlord, the title company, or
a court of competent jurisdiction.

written consent, including exterior changes to signage or dress.

in a manner that diminishes the aesthetics of the premises or Tenant’s use of such premises. The

and the interior portions of the Premises, and the heating, air conditioning, mechanical,
electrical, plumbing and sprinkler systems serving the Premises, any building security system and
all other interior non-structural components. Tenant shall not be responsible for replacement and
repair of exterior walls, floors, adjacent sidewalks, roofs, gutters, downspouts, and structural
components — whether interior or exterior. Furthermore, all guarantees and warranties shall be
made available by Landlord to Tenant, including any roofs or other warranties from contractors,
materialmen, suppliers or equipment providers. Provided Landlord has delivered the Premises in the
condition required, and to the extent such repairs or replacements are not due to defect in
original construction, Tenant shall maintain the Premises as provided herein. Tenant shall not be
obligated to make any repairs or replacements occasioned by the tortious acts or negligence of
Landlord, its agents, employees, invitees, except to the extent that Tenant is reimbursed therefore
under any policy of insurance carried by Landlord, and it shall not make repairs, replacements or
additions unless required by law and which are the responsibility of Tenant under the Lease and not
due to acts or neglect of Landlord. Tenant shall not be responsible for repairs or replacements or
additions to systems external to the Premises unless due to its acts, omissions or negligence, or
those of its contractors or employees.
7.2 Structural Repairs. Landlord shall, at its expense, keep the foundation, roof, exterior
walls (excluding storefronts) and all load-bearing portions of the Premises in good repair
throughout the Term. Landlord may recover from Tenant the cost of repairs occasioned by the
tortious acts or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, or licensees, except to the extent
that Landlord is reimbursed therefore under any policy of insurance, or such are due in whole or in
part by Landlord, its servants, agents, employees or contractors. Landlord shall be neither liable
nor responsible for any loss that may accrue to Tenant or Tenant’s business by reason of Landlord’s
actions in fulfilling its obligations under the Lease unless such is due in whole or in part to the
acts, omissions, or negligence of Landlord or its contractors. Landlord shall undertake any
repairs that are its responsibilities upon ten (10) days prior written notice, subject to weather
conditions, so long as Landlord has notified Tenant of Landlord’s intentions; provided however, if
there is a threat to the public health, safety or welfare as determined by Tenant, Landlord shall
comply with the time requirements of this section. If there is a failure to make such repairs by
Landlord and such are necessary in the reasonable judgment of Tenant, and after written notice,
Tenant may make such repairs and deduct the amount of such repairs from the sums due Landlord.
However, no notice shall be required by Tenant if there is an emergency. Any work undertaken by
Tenant as described in this section shall be payable by Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt
of such xxxx, together with interest on such amount at the rate of ten (10%) percent per annum.

of Tenant’s business and shall be undertaken upon prior written notice, and at reasonable and
agreed-upon times. Furthermore, no work that is undertaken by Landlord shall interfere with

ARTICLE 10
Damage to Premises; Eminent Domain; Indemnity; Insurance
10.1 Destruction, Fire or Other Cause.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Subsection 10.l(b) below, if the Premises shall be rendered
untenable by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall restore the Premises (excluding Tenant’s trade
fixtures and improvements) and make them tenable as soon as possible. Rent shall xxxxx during the
period of untenability in proportion to the area of the Premises rendered untenable, and for ninety
(90) days after its delivery to Tenant in a repaired condition by Landlord to allow Tenant to
refixture the Premises. In any event, Tenant shall commence paying rent no later than the date
that Tenant reopens for business following the casualty. All such restoration shall be completed
within one hundred fifty (150) days of date of the casualty, weather permitting, or Tenant shall be
entitled to terminate this Lease in its sole discretion. Landlord shall advise Tenant within
thirty (30) days of any casualty whether Landlord can rebuild the Premises within such period of
time. Tenant shall have the right to extend such period of time for rebuilding by written notice
to Landlord from time-to-time. Landlord shall attempt to provide in existing and future financing
documents that it has a right to rebuild if there is a insurable casualty and to receive the
insurance proceeds for such purposes.
(b) If the Premises, or the building that the Premises are a part, shall be so damaged by fire
or other casualty that demolition or substantial reconstruction (more than fifty (50%) percent of
their initial cost) is required during the last year of any Lease Term or Extended Lease Term,
unless Tenant elects to extend the Lease Term by exercise of an Option Right, then Landlord may
terminate this Lease by notifying the Tenant of such termination within thirty (30) days after the
date of such damage. Rent shall be prorated to the date of such a termination. If Tenant extends
the Lease Term, Landlord must rebuild as required herein.
(c) Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of the occurrence of a fire or other casualty at
the Premises and shall, at its expense, restore or replace its personal property, fixtures and
tenant improvements. There shall be no abatement of Rent during any delay caused by the failure of
Tenant to complete its restoration and repair work unless due to acts or omissions of Landlord.
10.2 Eminent Domain. If all or any part of the Premises or any parking area or the entrances
for egress or ingress shall be taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or
purpose such that the way in which Tenant conducts business is affected in a material way, then the
Term shall, at the sole option of Tenant, end as of the day prior to the date of any actual taking.
If the Premises may not reasonably be used for the purpose contemplated by the Lease following any
taking, Tenant, in its discretion, may terminate this Lease. Tenant shall be entitled to funds
awarded it for moving expenses, business interruption, loss of its leasehold interest, exclusive of
Landlord’s interest, and for all costs and expenses it is entitled to under law. If not terminated
by Tenant this Lease shall otherwise remain in full force and effect without apportionment to
Tenant of any portion of the award or damages made solely to Landlord and Landlord shall make the
necessary repairs and alterations to the extent of any award to be received by Landlord.
Notwithstanding the aforegoing, Tenant may apply for and seek its own separate award for a partial
taking as provided herein and at law. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 10.2,
Rent shall be apportioned to the date of such taking. Landlord shall attempt to provide in
existing and future financing documents that it may receive condemnation proceeds with a right to
rebuild as provided under this Lease.
10.3 Indemnification; Tenant’s Property.
(a) Tenant and Landlord shall defend and indemnify each other against, and hold each other
harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, paid or incurred as a result of or in connection
with this Lease, the negligence of the other, any subtenant, or any of their contractors,
employees, customers, invitees, or licensees, and each shall indemnify, defend, and save harmless
the other from such conditions. If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord or Tenant,
as the case may be, by reason of any such claim, Tenant or Landlord, upon written notice from the
other, will, at such parties’ expense, resist or defend such action or proceeding by counsel
approved by the other in writing.
(b) Tenant shall maintain an all risk policy of insurance for injury to persons and property
and, in addition, all plate glass upon or appurtenant to the Premises, to the extent of their
replacement cost, which policy of insurance shall contain a clause or endorsement under which the
insurer waives, or permits the waiver by Tenant, of rights of subrogation against Landlord, and its
agents, employees, customers, invitees, guests, or licensees, with respect to losses payable under
such policy. Landlord and Tenant shall provide to the extent possible, waivers of subrogation for
claims covered by any policies of insurance, notwithstanding that such damage may result from the
negligence or fault of the other, or its agents, employees, customers, invitees, guests, or
licensees. Any deductible amount included in such policy shall be treated as though it were
recoverable under the policy.
10.4 Insurance. By this section, and by the applicable portions of Section 10.3 above,
Landlord and Tenant intend that the risk of loss or damages as described shall be borne by
responsible insurance carriers to the extent provided.
(a) Landlord shall insure the Property (except the Premises) against loss or damage under a
policy or policies of casualty insurance. Such policies shall include a waiver of subrogation
clause or endorsement similar to that required of Tenant in Section 10.3(b) above. Landlord shall
maintain fire and extended coverage for the full replacement value of the Property (except the
Premises). Tenant shall be named as an additional insured on all liability policies of Landlord
with respect to acts or omissions or occurrences within the Exterior Areas. Landlord shall
maintain a policy of general public liability insurance with a minimum single limit, liability of
at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and coverages for property damage, bodily
injury or death, completed operations, contractual liability, and indemnification, and name Tenant
as an additional insured. The insurance policy shall provide thirty (30) days prior written notice
to Tenant of any change or alteration as well as cancellation. Landlord’s insurance shall name
Tenant as an additional insured against all claims, demands, or actions for injury, death, property
damage, or occasioned by acts or omissions of Landlord. The same insurance requirements under
Section 10.4(b) below for Tenant shall also be applicable to Landlord. Both Landlord’s and
Tenant’s insurance shall have, to the extent attainable, waiver of subrogation in favor of the
other.
(b) Tenant shall insure the Premises against loss or damage under a policy or policies of
casualty insurance. Such policies shall include a waiver of subrogation clause or endorsement
similar to that required of Tenant in Section 10.3(b) above. Tenant shall maintain fire and
extended coverage for the full replacement value of the Premises. Tenant shall maintain workers’
compensation insurance covering all of its employees to at least the statutory limit set forth
under Michigan law, and a policy of general public liability insurance and liquor liability in an
amount at least equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) single limit coverage for property
damage, bodily injury or death. All such policies of insurance shall name Landlord as an
additional insured. Tenant’s policies shall provide by endorsement or otherwise that such
insurance may not be canceled, terminated, amended, or modified for any reason whatsoever, except
upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other. Prior to the time such workers’
compensation and general public liability insurance is first required to be carried by Tenant, and
thereafter at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, Tenant shall
deliver either duplicate originals of the aforesaid policies or a certificate evidencing such
insurance coverage. If a certificate is provided, it shall contain a statement substantially in
the form of the immediately preceding sentence.
ARTICLE 11
Default and Remedies; Termination and Surrender
11.1 Landlord’s Remedies. If Tenant shall fail to make any payment of any Rent due hereunder
within seven (7) days of its due date, or if Tenant shall fail to perform any of the other
covenants or conditions which Tenant is required to observe and perform under this Lease for a
period of thirty (30) days following written notice of such failure, or if the interest of Tenant
in this Lease shall be levied upon under execution and not removed or stayed within thirty (30)
days, or if any petition shall be filed by or against Tenant in a court of bankruptcy which is not
removed within forty-five (45) days, or if Tenant shall be declared insolvent according to law, or
make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or petition for or enter into an arrangement, or if
Tenant shall abandon and vacate the Premises during the Term of this Lease or if Tenant shall
dissolve, then Landlord may, but need not, treat the occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing
events as a default under this Lease, and thereupon may, at its option, with notice and demand to
Tenant as required by law, have the following-described remedies in addition to other rights and
remedies provided at law or in equity. If Tenant has expeditiously undertaken, and is attempting
to cure a non-monetary default and continuously proceeding to that goal, then the cure period shall
be extended to sixty (60) days if it is capable of being cured within that period.
(a) Terminate Tenant’s right of possession and repossess the Premises in a district court
summary proceeding action and without terminating this Lease, in which case Landlord shall use good
faith efforts to relet all or any part of the Premises for such rent and upon reasonable business
terms. For the purposes of such reletting, Landlord shall list the Premises with a broker and may
make such repairs or physical changes in or to the Premises as may be necessary. During any period
that Landlord is unable to relet the Premises, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount due to
be paid by Tenant as such rent becomes due under the Lease without acceleration as provided herein.
If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from the reletting, after
payment of all costs and expenses of such repairs and the expense of such reletting and the
collection of rent occurring therefrom, to satisfy the Rent herein provided to be paid during the
remainder of the initial Term, Tenant shall satisfy and pay any such deficiency as and when such
rent becomes due under the Lease. Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover sums
falling due under the terms of this paragraph from time to time and that any suit or recovery of
any portion due Landlord hereunder shall be no defense to any subsequent action brought for any
amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord. Any election of Landlord upon an
event of uncured default after written notice must be proceeded with all notices and appropriate
requirements as provided by law. All remedies of Landlord must comply with the requirements of the
Summary Proceedings Act of the State of Michigan, and shall not include consent to self help.
Landlord shall have a duty to mitigate damages. Landlord’s collection of rents, in the event of a
reletting, shall be used to diminish any liability of Tenant.
11.2 Termination; Surrender of Possession.
(a) Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time, operation of
law, or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall:,
within twenty (20) days of such event.
(i) Deliver the Premises in the condition required under the Lease (other than as contemplated
by Section 7.1 above), ordinary wear and tear excepted and damage covered by insurance, remove all
of its personal property and trade fixtures from the Premises and the Property and repair any
damage caused by such removal;
(ii) Surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord; and
(iii) Upon the request of Landlord, at Tenant’s cost and expense, remove from the exterior and
interior of the Premises and the Property all signs, symbols and trademarks which are connected
with or associated specifically with Tenant’s business and repair any damages to the Premises
caused by the signs or their removal.
(b) If Tenant shall fail or refuse to deliver the Premises as hereinabove provided, Landlord
may do so and recover its costs from Tenant for so doing. If Tenant shall fail or refuse to comply
with Tenant’s duty to remove all personal property and trade fixtures from the Premises within
twenty (20) days from the expiration or termination of this Lease, the parties hereto agree and
stipulate that Landlord may, at its election, treat such failure as Tenant has abandoned such
property. In such event, Landlord may keep or remove, store, discard, or otherwise dispose of all
or any part of such property in any manner that Landlord shall choose without incurring liability
to Tenant or to any other person or entity, subject to any Subordination Agreement entered into
with Tenant’s lender. Should Tenant or its lender with respect to the fixtures and equipment fail
to remove such property within twenty (20) days after a termination or expiration of the Lease or
as agreed upon, then Landlord shall be relieved of any further responsibility. Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for its costs incurred in such removal, but in any event, no more than seven
thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500.00).
11.3 Holding Over. If Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises, or any part thereof,
after the termination or expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall become a month-to-month Tenant
whose estate may be terminated by thirty (30) days prior written notice. Tenant shall, however,
pay Landlord one and one-half (1 1/2 ) times the amount of Rent which would have been due for a
like period of occupancy during the preceding month of the Lease Term hereof. The provisions of
this clause shall not operate as a waiver by Landlord of any right it may otherwise have. However,
Tenant’s right to remove its equipment and fixtures shall be governed as set forth above even if
the Lease ceases.
11.4 Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, assign this Lease;
sublet the Premises or any part thereof; or permit the use of the premises by any party other than
Tenant and its employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign the Lease or sublet the
Premises to a holding company or subsidiary company of the Tenant, a franchisee, the acquirer of a
majority of the Tenant’s other locations or a lending institution in connection with a financing of
Tenant’s business, without the prior consent of the Landlord. Such assignment or subletting shall
not alter Tenant’s responsibility to Landlord under this Lease. Landlord agrees to accept rent
from Tenant, its assigns, successors or subtenant. Further, Tenant shall have the right without
such Consent to assign the Lease to Landlord’s Franchisor pursuant to Appendix C attached.
Landlord agrees to accept rent from the Tenant, its assignee or subtenant.
11.5 Bankruptcy.
(a) If following the filing of a petition by or against Tenant in a bankruptcy court, Landlord
shall not be permitted to terminate this Lease as hereinabove provided because of the provisions of
Title 11 of the United States Code relating to Bankruptcy, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”), then
Tenant (including Tenant as Debtor-in-Possession) or any trustee for Tenant agrees to promptly
petition the bankruptcy court, to assume or reject this Lease in accordance with the Bankruptcy
Act.
(b) Tenant or any trustee for Tenant may only assume this Lease if (i) it cures or provides
adequate assurance that the trustee will promptly cure any default hereunder, (ii) it compensates
or provides adequate assurance that the Tenant will promptly compensate Landlord for any actual
pecuniary loss to Landlord resulting from Tenant’s default, and (iii) it provides adequate
assurance of future performance under this Lease by Tenant. In no event after the assumption of
this Lease by Tenant, or any trustee for Tenant, shall any then-existing default remain uncured for
a period in excess of thirty (30) days. Adequate assurance of future performance of this Lease
shall include, without limitation, adequate assurance: (i) of the source of Rent required to be
paid by Tenant hereunder; and (ii) that assumption or permitted assignment of this Lease will not
breach any provision hereunder.
In the event of any conflict, the Bankruptcy Act shall control.
11.6 Remedies Cumulative.
(a) The failure of either party to enforce any covenant or condition of this Lease shall not
be deemed a waiver thereof or of the right of either party to enforce each and every covenant and
condition of this Lease. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived unless
such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the person against whom the waiver is claimed.
(b) All rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease shall be cumulative, and none shall
exclude any other rights or remedies allowed by law.
11.7 Expenses of Enforcement; Performance by Landlord.
(a) The losing party shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the
winning party in enforcing any provision of this Lease.
(b) Twenty (20) days prior written notice shall be given to the defaulting party of any
obligation requiring performance. If the non-defaulting party incurs a cost by the failure to
perform an obligation by the defaulting party, there shall be an obligation to repay it within
twenty (20) days prior written notice to the non-defaulting party. Either party may contest the
necessity of any repairs or performance of obligations undertaken by the other, and the
reasonableness of any
costs or expenses incurred. If either party shall fail to perform any of its obligations
hereunder, the other party may, with the above prior notice, perform such obligations if such is
not commenced and completed within the time provided. If Landlord or Tenant incurs any costs in
connection therewith, they shall be paid by the other defaulting party upon twenty (20) days
written demand with interest thereon from date of the payment at a rate equal to ten (10%) percent
per annum, as set forth above.
ARTICLE 12
Access to Premises
12.1 Access to Premises. Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, to
enter upon the Premises at all reasonable business hours for the purpose of inspecting them or
making such repairs or alterations as it is obligated to make under the terms of this Lease or
which Landlord may elect to perform, following Tenant’s failure to do so. Repairs shall be made,
and alterations as are the requirement of Landlord, in such a manner that they do not unreasonably
interfere with Tenant’s operation of the premises or its quiet enjoyment. Repairs by either
Landlord or Tenant on behalf of the other shall be made in a manner only upon prior notice and only
if the other party fails to undertake such repairs that are its obligations upon notice as provided
in Paragraph 9.3.
The Landlord shall have the right to enter the premises at reasonable hours on reasonable
notice to show them to prospective purchasers and mortgagees, however, such shall be in a manner
that does not interfere with the operation of the business and shall not include entry into the
kitchen and other areas which could be a violation of health codes or would create a hazard in the
operation of the business.
Other than as indicated above, in no event may Landlord enter the premises without the consent
of Tenant unless there is an absolute emergency.
Throughout the Term, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at reasonable hours
on reasonable notice for the purpose of showing them to prospective purchasers or mortgagees and,
during the last six months of the Term, to prospective tenants.
If Tenant is not present to open and permit an entry into the Premises, Landlord or Landlord’s
agents may enter the same whenever such entry may be reasonably necessary in event of an emergency
to protect life or property. In no event shall the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected by
any such entry.
ARTICLE 13

13.2 Effect of Submission. The submission by Landlord of the within Lease for execution by
Tenant shall confer no rights nor impose any obligations, including brokerage obligations, on any
party unless both Landlord and Tenant shall have executed this Lease and duplicate originals
thereof shall have been delivered to the respective parties. If Tenant executes this Lease and
submits it to Landlord, such submission shall constitute an offer to Lease, which shall be
irrevocable for thirty (30) days.
13.3 Litigation. Landlord and Tenant do hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding
or counterclaim brought by either against the other upon any matters whatsoever arising out of or
in any way connected with this Lease, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or any claim or
injury or damage or both. It is further mutually agreed that if Landlord commences any summary
proceeding for nonpayment of any Rent, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim in any such
proceeding (unless it is a compulsory counterclaim); provided, however, that the foregoing shall
not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s right to bring a separate action for any claim Tenant may have.
13.4 Governing Law; Invalidation. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Michigan that are applied to leases made and to be performed in that
state. The invalidation of one or more terms of this Lease shall not affect the validity of the
remaining terms.
13.5 Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only and shall not be used
to define, explain, modify or aid in the interpretation or construction of the contents hereof.
13.6 Amendment. This Lease represents the entire agreement between the parties. No oral or
written, prior or contemporaneous agreements shall have any force or effect, and this Lease may not
be amended, altered or modified unless done so by means of a written instrument signed by both
parties.
13.7 Subordination; Attornment; Estoppel Certificate.
(a) This Lease shall, at the sole option of Landlord or its lenders, be subject and
subordinate to the interest of the holders of any notes secured by mortgages on the Property or the
Premises, now or in the future, and to all ground or underlying leases and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. While the provisions of this
section are self-executing, Tenant shall execute such documents as may be reasonably required by
Landlord or any mortgagee to affirm or give notice of such subordination. In turn for such
execution of documents, Tenant shall be entitled to receive a satisfactory non-disturbance
agreement from each such lender whereby the lender agrees to recognize Tenant’s rights under this
Lease following foreclosure or event of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, so long as Tenant is not in
default hereunder. Furthermore, it is recognized that Tenant shall finance its equipment and
fixtures, including bars, ovens, refrigerators, walk-in coolers, range hoods, entertainment
equipment including video and acoustical equipment, and that such do not form part of the leasehold
premises and are fixtures of Tenant, and are subject to the security interest by Tenant’s lender
and shall not be subordinated to Landlord and any Mortgages of Landlord.
(b) At the request of Landlord, Tenant shall within ten (10) days deliver to Landlord, or
anyone designated by Landlord, a certificate stating and certifying as of its date (i) the date to
which Rent and other charges under this Lease have been paid; (ii) whether or not there are then
existing any setoffs or defenses against the enforcement of any of the agreements, terms, covenants
or conditions hereof on the part of Tenant to be performed or complied with (and, if so, specifying
the same); (iii) if such be true, that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and
that Landlord is not in default under any provision of this Lease (or if modified, setting forth
all modifications, and if Landlord is in default, setting forth the exact nature of such default);
and (iv) such other information as Landlord may reasonably request in connection with the
Landlord-Tenant relationship established by this Lease, including but not limited to Tenant’s
financial statements, in accordance with Tenant’s or its parents’ reporting requirements with the
SEC. Landlord agrees to deliver the same required statement to Tenant and anyone designated by
Tenant within the same time and manner. Further, Tenant will agree to attorn to any lender or
subsequent purchaser of Landlord provided that such recognizes Tenant’s quiet enjoyment and rights
under the Lease, and cures any prior existing defaults of Landlord. The Tenant shall have a right
of offset and to assert any counterclaims, which shall continue until cured by the
successor’s purchaser, or Lender and Tenant may exercise those rights contained within the Lease.
Any amendment to the Lease shall be binding upon any subsequent purchaser or lender. Any notice
and cure provisions of a lender must correspond to Landlord’s and not require any additional time
period thereafter. The Subordination and Attornment Agreement shall comply with the reasonable
requirements of Tenant’s lender.

GUARANTY OF LEASE
THIS GUARANTY OF LEASE made as of the 7th day of December, 2009 between Centrup
Hospitality, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, as Landlord, and AMC Marquette, Inc., a
Michigan corporation, as Tenant.
In consideration of and to induce the execution and delivery of that certain Lease December 7,
2009, (the “Lease”) between Landlord and Tenant, for a certain premises (the “Premises”) as more
particularly described in the Lease, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
1. For the first five (5) Lease Years of the Lease only, Guarantor unconditionally guaranties
to Landlord the full and punctual payment of all rents and other sums payable by Tenant under the
Lease, and the full and punctual performance and observance of all terms, covenants and conditions
on the part of Tenant to be performed and observed under the Lease (collectively the “Tenant
Obligations”). Guarantor further agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless for any loss,
liability, damage or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from the failure of
Tenant to timely perform any of the Tenant Obligations and/or the enforcement of this Guaranty
during such period. Upon Tenant’s default under the Lease and upon demand by Landlord, Guarantor
shall pay or perform the Tenant Obligations so in default, as applicable, without offset, deduction
or counterclaim.
2. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Landlord shall not be required to
pursue any remedies that it may have against Tenant or pursue any security deposit or other
security or other parties as a condition to the enforcement of this Guaranty, it being intended
that Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall be independent of, and in addition to, the
Tenant Obligations. It is understood and agreed that Guarantor may be joined in any action against
Tenant and that recovery may be had against Guarantor in such action, or in any independent action
against Guarantor.
3. Guarantor waives notice of any breach or default by Tenant under the Lease, notice of
acceptance of this Guaranty, and all suretyship defenses generally. The foregoing provisions shall
apply without limitation to Landlord’s waiver of or failure to enforce any Tenant Obligations
and/or Landlord’s granting extensions of time of performance to Tenant.
4. This Guaranty shall be absolute and continuing.
(a) Any modification, amendment or other alteration of the Lease;; any assignment of the
Lease or any sublease; any release of any other party liable for the Tenant Obligations or any
release of security held by Landlord for the performance of the Tenant Obligations; or any sublease
of all or a portion of the Premises; and Guarantor consents to any and all of the foregoing;
(b) Any disability or other defense of Tenant, or the cessation from any other cause
whatsoever of the liability of Tenant under the Lease.
The obligations and liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall continue in effect until
all Tenant Obligations accruing during the first five (5) Lease Years of the initial term of the
Lease have been fully paid and satisfied. If at any time payment of any of the Tenant Obligations
is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Tenant, the obligations of the Guarantor with respect to such payment shall
be reinstated at such time as though such payment had not been made.
i
5. Until all Tenant Obligations are fully paid and satisfied, Guarantor (a) shall have no
right of subrogation against Tenant by reason of Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty or
monies or obligations owed by Tenant to Guarantor, (b) waives any right to enforce any remedy which
Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Tenant by reason of Guarantor’s performance under
this Guaranty, and (c) subordinates any liability or indebtedness of Tenant now or hereafter held
by or owed to Guarantor to the Tenant Obligations.
6. This Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be
modified, discharged, waived or terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by Guarantor
and Landlord and approved by the holder of any first mortgage on the Premises.
7. This Guaranty shall bind Guarantor and the successors and assigns of Guarantor. This
Guaranty may be freely assigned, transferred or hypothecated by Landlord and shall run in favor and
inure to the benefit of Landlord, its successors and assigns, and each subsequent holder of
Landlord’s interest under the Lease. References to the term “Tenant” shall be deemed to include
Tenant’s successors and assigns. This Guaranty may be assigned by Landlord but may not be assigned
by Tenant.
8. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Michigan law.
Guarantor agrees to be subject to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts of Michigan, to accept
service of process in any action brought in Michigan, and Guarantor waives any objection to
personal jurisdiction in such action.
9. Notices to the Guarantor shall be sent by certified or registered mail to the address set
forth below Guarantor’s signature and shall be effective upon receipt. Alternatively, notices may
be sent by Federal Express or other recognized delivery service and shall be effective upon
delivery to the above address. Guarantor may change its address by giving written notice to

Guaranty.

Appendix C to the Franchise Agreement
Addendum to Lease
This Addendum to Lease, dated December 7, 2009, is entered into between Centrup Hospitality,
LLC (“Landlord”), and AMC Marquette, Inc. (“Tenant”).
RECITALS
A. | The parties have entered into a Lease Agreement, dated December 7, 2009, (the
“Lease”) pertaining to the premises located at 2900 X.X. Xxxxxxx 00 Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx, 00000 (the “Premises”). |
||
B. | Landlord acknowledges that Tenant has agreed to operate a Restaurant at the
Premises pursuant to Tenant’s Franchise Agreement (the “Franchise Agreement”) with
Buffalo Wild Wings International, Inc. (“BWW”) under the name “Buffalo Wild Wings Grill
& Bar” or other name designated by BWW (the “Restaurant”). |
||
C. | The parties desire to amend the Lease in accordance with the terms and
conditions contained in this Addendum to provide BWW the opportunity to preserve the
Premises as a BWW branded restaurant as provided herein. |
AGREEMENT
Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
1. | Remodeling and Decor. Landlord agrees that Tenant has the right to remodel, equip,
paint and decorate the interior of the Premises and to display such proprietary marks and
signs on the interior and exterior of the Premises as Tenant is reasonably required to do
pursuant to the Franchise Agreement and any successor Franchise Agreement under which Tenant
may operate a Restaurant on the Premises. Any remodel of the building and/or its signs shall
be subject to Landlord’s prior and reasonable approval. |
|
2. | Assignment. Tenant does not have the right to sublease or assign the Lease to any
third party without BWW’s and Landlord’s written approval. Tenant has the right to assign all
of its right, title and interest in the Lease to BWW, its affiliates or its parent company, at
any time during the term of the Lease, including any extensions or renewals, without first
obtaining Landlord’s consent. No assignment will be effective, however, until BWW or its
designated affiliate gives Landlord written notice of its acceptance of the assignment. BWW
or its parent company will be responsible for the lease obligations incurred after the
effective date of the assignment. If BWW elects to assume the Lease under this subparagraph
or unilaterally assumes the lease as provided for in subparagraph 3(a) or 4(a), Landlord and
Tenant agree that (i) Lessee will remain liable for the responsibilities and obligations,
including amounts owed to Landlord, prior to the date of assignment and assumption, and (ii)
BWW will have the right to sublease the Premises to another franchisee with Landlord’s prior
reasonable approval — reasonableness to be based on |
i
proposed new franchisee’s related
business experience and credit history, provided the franchisee meets BWW’s then-current standards and requirements for franchisees and agrees to
operate the Restaurant as a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant pursuant to a Franchise Agreement
with BWW. Upon receipt by Landlord of an assumption agreement pursuant to which the
assignee agrees to assume the Lease and to observe the terms, conditions and agreements on
the part of Tenant to be performed under the Lease, the BWW Entity shall thereupon be
released from all liability as tenant under the Lease from and after the date of assignment,
without any need of a written acknowledgment of such release by Landlord. |
||
3. | Default and Notice. |
(a) | Landlord shall send BWW copies of all notices of default it gives to Tenant
concurrently with giving such notices to Tenant. If Tenant fails to cure any defaults
within the period specified in the Lease, Landlord shall promptly give BWW written
notice thereof, specifying the defaults Tenant has failed to cure. BWW has the right
to unilaterally assume the Lease if Tenant fails to cure. BWW shall have 15 days from
the date BWW receives such notice to exercise, by written notice to Landlord and
Tenant, its right for BWW or its designee (the “BWW Entity”) to assume the Lease. BWW
shall have an additional 15 days from the expiration of Tenant’s cure period in which
to cure the default or violation. |
||
(b) | If the BWW Entity elects to assume the Lease, the BWW Entity shall not be
required to cure defaults and/or to begin paying rent until Landlord delivers
possession of the Premises to the BWW Entity. The BWW Entity shall have the right, at
any time until Landlord delivers possession of the Premises, to rescind the option
exercise, by written notice to Landlord. |
||
(c) | All notices to BWW must be sent by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, to the following address: |
Buffalo Wild Wings International, Inc.

Xttention: General Counsel
BWW may change its address for receiving notices by giving Landlord written notice of the new
address. Landlord agrees that it will notify both Tenant and BWW of any change in Landlord’s
mailing address to which notices should be sent.
4. | Termination, Non-Renewal, Expiration. |
(a) | If the Franchise Agreement is terminated for any reason during the term of the
Lease or any extension thereof, BWW has the right, but not the obligation, to
unilaterally assume the Lease by giving Landlord written notice. Within 30 days
after receipt of such notice, Landlord shall give a BWW Entity written notice
specifying any defaults of Tenant under the Lease. |
ii
(b) | If the Lease contains term renewal or extension right(s) and if Tenant allows
the term to expire without exercising said right(s), Landlord shall give BWW written
notice thereof, and a BWW Entity shall have the option, for thirty (30) days after
receipt of said notice, to exercise the Tenant’s renewal or extension right(s) on the
same terms and conditions as are contained in the Lease. If a BWW Entity elects to
exercise such right(s), it shall so notify Landlord in writing, whereupon Landlord and
the BWW Entity shall promptly execute and deliver an agreement whereby the BWW Entity
assumes the Lease, effective at the commencement of the extension or renewal term. |
||
(c) | Upon the expiration or termination of the Lease, Landlord will cooperate with
and assist BWW in gaining possession of the Premises and if a BWW Entity does not elect
to enter into a new lease for the Premises with Landlord on terms reasonably acceptable
to the BWW Entity, Landlord will allow BWW to enter the Premises, without being guilty
of trespass and without incurring any liability to Landlord, except for any damages
caused by BWW’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, to remove all signs, awnings,
and all other items identifying the Premises as a Buffalo Wild Wings® Restaurant and to
make such other modifications (such as repainting) as are reasonably necessary to
protect the Buffalo Wild Wings® marks and system. In the event BWW exercises its
option to purchase assets of Tenant, Landlord must permit BWW to remove all such assets
being purchased by BWW. |
5. | Additional Provisions. |
(a) | Landlord hereby acknowledges that the provisions of this Addendum to Lease are
required pursuant to the Franchise Agreement under which Tenant plans to operate its
business and the Tenant would not lease the Premises without this Addendum. |
