(3.) If Tenant pays Real Estate Taxes separately, then Tenant, upon request of Landlord, shall furnish to Landlord, or if requested by Landlord furnish to any fee mortgagee, within ten (10) days after the date when such Imposition will become due, official receipts if available of the appropriate taxing authority, or other evidence satisfactory to Landlord or such mortgagee evidencing the payment thereof.

(4.) Landlord appoints Tenant the attorney-in-fact of Landlord for the purpose of making all payments to be made by Tenant pursuant to any of the provisions of this Lease to persons or entities other than Landlord. In case any person or entity to whom any sum is directly paid by Tenant under any of the provisions of this Lease shall refuse to accept payment of such sum from Tenant, Tenant shall thereupon give written notice of such fact to Landlord and shall pay such sum to Landlord at the address specified herein and Landlord shall thereupon pay such sum to such person or entity.

(5.) Notwithstanding any other provision herein set forth, Tenant, in addition to being responsible for taxes and insurance as herein set forth, shall be responsible for all fire insurance premiums on buildings and improvements situate on the Demised Premises from the dates when Impositions are first payable by Tenant pursuant to Section 5.01 above through and inclusive of the dates when Basic Rent as herein set forth shall be payable.

(6.) Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall take good care of the Demised Premises, all exclusive rights of way, curbs and appurtenances thereto and maintain and repair any easements used in common with others in accordance with any maintenance and repair obligations relating thereto, and shall keep the same in good order and condition, and reasonably free of any dirt, rubbish, snow, ice and unlawful obstructions. Landlord is responsible for snow removal from Tenant’s drive-thru area.

(7.) Tenant has the right to seek a reduction in the valuation of the Demised Premises for tax purposes and to contest in good faith by appropriate proceedings, at Tenant’s expense, the amount of validity in whole or in part of any imposition, tax or assessment affecting the Demised Premises.

(8.) Landlord shall not be required to join in any proceedings referred to herein unless the provisions of any law, rule or regulation at the time in effect shall require that such proceedings be brought by or in the name of Landlord or any owner of the Demised Premises, in which event Landlord shall join in such proceedings or permit the same to be brought in its name. Landlord shall not ultimately be subjected to any liability for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with any such proceedings, and Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless Landlord from any such costs and expenses. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of any imposition and penalties or interest thereon received by Landlord which have been paid by Tenant or which have been paid by Landlord but previously reimbursed in full by Tenant.

(B) All insurance premiums incurred by Landlord for policies of insurance maintained on or with respect to the Shopping Center, including but not limited to fire and extended coverage insurance, liability insurance, workmen’s compensation, rent interruption insurance and any other insurance that Landlord deems necessary to be carried on or with respect to the Shopping Center. If the rate of any insurance carried by Landlord is increased as a result of Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, upon demand, the full amount of any such increase.

(C) All customary and reasonable sums expended by Landlord for the maintenance and operation of the Common Areas, and an allowance to Landlord for Landlord’s supervision of maintenance and operation of the Common Areas in an amount equal to 15% times the total Common Area Expenses of the Shopping Center (excluding Real Estate Taxes and insurance). Costs for maintenance and operation of the common areas shall include by way of example and not by way of limitation, the costs of the following: resurfacing, paving, repainting and restriping, roof repairs, exterminating, cleaning, sweeping, and other maintenance and repair services with respect to the Common Areas of the Shopping Center, or any part thereof;; policing and providing for security guards or security patrols; costs for local fire protection; purchasing and maintaining refuse receptacles and costs of trash removal; planting and relandscaping; snow removal; purchasing, constructing, maintaining or repairing car stops, directional signs and other markers; lighting and other utilities; reasonable depreciation allowance on improvements, machinery, and equipment used in connection with the Common Areas; such fees as may be paid to any third party in connection with such maintenance and operation or the management of the Shopping Center (such management fees are to be in lieu of the 5% Landlord’s supervision fee set forth above); and such other costs as the Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, shall deem necessary for the maintenance and operation of the Common Areas. All Capital Expenditures made to the Shopping Center, i.e., expenditures which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not fully chargeable to current expense in the year the expenditure is incurred, shall be excluded from Common Area Expenses except the cost of repaving described above, which repaving cost will be amortized over the useful life of the improvement.

Section 5.02. Landlord may submit to Tenant a statement of anticipated monthly Reimbursements for the period between the Commencement Date and the end of the first Lease Year and for each subsequent Lease Year or fraction thereof. If so, Tenant shall pay such Reimbursements on a pro rata monthly basis concurrent with the payment of the Fixed Rent. Tenant shall continue to make said monthly payments until notified by Landlord of a change thereof. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing the total Reimbursements, Tenant’s Share of total Reimbursements for the prior Lease Year, and the payments made by Tenant with respect to such Lease Year, within sixty (60) days after the end of each Lease Year. However, Landlord’s failure to provide such statement of Reimbursements by the date provided hereinabove shall in no way excuse Tenant from its obligation to pay its pro rata share of Reimbursements or constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to xxxx and collect such pro rata share of Reimbursements from Tenant in accordance with this Article, provided that Landlord submits a final statement of total reimbursements for a particular calendar year within one year after the end of such calendar year. If Tenant’s Share of Reimbursements for the Lease Year exceeds the payments made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the deficiency within ten (10) days after receipt of the statement. If Tenant’s payments made during the Lease Year exceed Tenant’s Share of Reimbursements, Landlord shall credit the sum of such excess toward the monthly Reimbursements next coming due or, if there are insufficient installment periods remaining in Tenant’s term, pay same over to Tenant. The actual Reimbursements of the prior Lease Year may be used for the purpose of calculating the

anticipated monthly Reimbursements for the then current Lease Year, subject to the right of Landlord to increase the monthly Reimbursements for anticipated increased costs. . Tenant shall have the right, on an annual basis and at Tenant’s sole cost, to audit all Common Area costs charged by the Landlord.

Section 5.03. Landlord shall keep full, complete and proper books, records and accounts of Common Area Expenses. No more than once per annum and upon reasonable written notice, Tenant and its agents and employees shall have the right at any time and at all times during regular business hours to examine and inspect all books and records of Landlord pertaining to Common Area Expenses for the purpose of investigating and verifying the accuracy of any statement of Common Area Expenses. Once in any calendar year, Tenant may cause an audit of Common Area Expenses to be made by an independent certified accountant of Tenant’s selection and, if the Common Area Expenses for the accounting period covered by the statement which is the subject of the audit are found to be overstated by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall immediately pay to Tenant the cost of such audit, not to exceed the lesser of the amount of the discrepancy or One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), plus the amount of any overpayment made by Tenant to Landlord, otherwise the cost of such audit shall be paid by Tenant. If the statement of Common Area Expenses which is the subject of the audit is otherwise found to be incorrect, the party found to be owing money shall promptly pay an offsetting sum to the other party.

ARTICLE VI

Should Tenant fail to maintain said all risk insurance with the required waiver of subrogation, or fail to maintain the liability insurance, naming Landlord as an additional named insured, then Tenant shall be in default hereunder and shall be deemed to have breached its covenants as set forth herein, and such breach shall constitute an Event of Default, unless Tenant cures such breach within the applicable grace period provided in Article XVIII.

Section 8.03. Tenant shall insure the improvements on the property in an amount equal to the full replacement value of the improvements. Such replacement value shall be determined from time to time but not more frequently than once in any one sixty (60) consecutive calendar months at the request of Landlord by an appraiser, architect or contractor who shall be mutually and reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.

X.Xxxxxxxxx proceeds shall be held in an interest bearing account maintained by the attorneys for Landlord and Tenant or if Tenant’s Mortgagee so requires, then such insurance proceeds shall be held by Tenant’s Mortgagee, The proceeds shall first be used to pay Tenant’s mortgage, if Tenant’s Mortgagee so elects, and the balance shall be used to construct or reconstruct buildings or improvements having value substantially equivalent to or greater than the value of the building(s) or improvement(s) damaged or destroyed. Tenant shall be responsible to provide any additional funds above available insurance proceeds to complete the reconstruction. Progress payments for reconstruction shall be paid to Tenant upon the written request of Tenant which shall be accompanied by reasonable evidence signed by Tenant, or the executive officer of Tenant, or by the architect or engineer in charge of such construction, dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to such request, setting forth the following:

B. That the sum then requested either has been paid by Tenant, or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors, material men, engineers, architects or other persons who have rendered services or furnished materials for the restoration therein specified, and giving a brief description of such services and materials and the several amounts so paid or due to each of said persons in respect thereof, and stating that no part of such expenditures has been or is being made the basis, in any previous or then

pending request, for the payment of such monies or has been made out of the proceeds of such monies received by Tenant, and that the sum then requested does not exceed the value of the services and materials described in the certificate.

C. That except for the amount, if any, stated pursuant to the foregoing sub clause A in such certificate to be due for services and materials, there is no outstanding indebtedness shown on Tenant’s books or known to the person signing such certificate, after due inquiry, for which payment was made under any prior requisition for labor, wages, materials, supplies or services in connection with such construction work, which if unpaid, might become the basis of a vendor’s, mechanics, laborer’s or material men’s statutory or similar lien upon such construction or upon the Demised Premises or any part thereof.

D. An official search of the public records or a search of a title insurance company doing business in the State of New Jersey showing that there has not been filed with respect to the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, any vendor’s mechanic’s, laborer’s, material men’s or like lien, which has not been discharged or record, except such as will be discharged by payment of the amount then requested.

E. If the net money as aforesaid at the time held by the attorneys for Landlord and Tenant, or Tenant’s mortgagee, as the case may be, shall be insufficient to pay the entire cost of such construction, Tenant shall pay the deficiency. If, on the other hand, there are any surplus funds held by such attorneys or mortgagee, as the case may be, after payment of all costs of restoration, such funds shall be paid over to Tenant.

Section 8.04. All insurance required under this Lease shall be issued by insurance companies of recognized responsibility which are authorized to do business in the State, having a Best Rating of B+ or better. Tenant, prior to entering on the Demised Premises, shall deliver to Landlord each policy or a certificate evidencing such policy, together with evidence of payment of premiums for all policies of insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Within thirty (30) days prior to the anniversary date of each policy of insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence of renewal of such policies, together with evidence of payment of premiums for all such policies. Each policy shall be issued as a primary policy not contributing with and not in excess of coverage of any insurance which Landlord may carry, and shall contain an endorsement requiring thirty (30) days’ written notice from the insurance company to Landlord before cancellation or change in the coverage, scope or amount of any policy.

Tenant shall employ its best efforts to operate the business conducted on the Demised Premises in a manner consistent with a first class shopping center.

Landlord shall have the right from time to time to establish reasonable amendments and additional rules in relation thereto.

Section 16.02. If, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, the Demised Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty within the last two (2) years of the term, to such an extent that the damage cannot be repaired or restored within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of such occurrence, then Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by written notice given within thirty (30) days after such occurrence.

Each party so participating shall pay their own expenses with regard thereto.

Section 17.02. Subject to Section 17.03, if at any time during the term of this Lease there shall be a taking of unimproved land, then and in that event, Landlord herein shall be entitled to the full award for the land and any and all damages by virtue of such taking, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect but the rent shall be reduced subsequent to the taking as provided in Section 17.05. All provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect and the Demised Premises shall consist of that portion of the Demised Premises remaining subsequent to such taking.

Section 17.03. If at any time during the term of this Lease there shall be a taking of the whole or substantially of all of the Demised Premises, this Lease shall terminate and expire on the date of such taking and the Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned and paid as of the date of such taking. For the purposes of this Article, substantially all of the Demised Premises shall be deemed to be (a) a taking which reduces access to the Demised Premises, or parking spaces adjacent to the Demised Premises, to the extent that the business operations on the Demised Premises are materially adversely affected, (b) a taking of all of the structures constructed upon the Demised Premises, or (c) a taking of such portion of the Demised Premises which has a materially adverse effect on the business operations then being conducted upon the Demised Premises.

Section 17.04. If this Lease shall have been terminated as a result of such taking the award or awards paid pursuant to such condemnation proceedings or agreement shall be distributed as follows:

A. All awards for unimproved land shall be paid to Landlord.

B. All awards for buildings, improved lands (e.g., parking lots, buffer areas, roadways and landscaped areas) and other improvements upon the Demised Premises shall (a) first be paid to any leasehold mortgagee of the Demised Premises, and (b) the balance distributed as shall be determined in the condemnation proceedings or if not determined in the condemnation proceedings, then in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 17.07 below.

Section 17.05. Notwithstanding any other provision herein set forth, in the event of taking of less than all of the Demised Premises, Landlord shall have the right to elect to continue this Lease with regard to the remaining portions of the Demised Premises subject to all of the terms and

conditions hereof, it being understood that the distribution of proceeds of any condemnation award shall be made as hereinabove set forth; provided however;

A. That the Basic Rent payments hereunder shall be reduced subsequent to the taking and thereafter Tenant shall be required to pay that proportion of the Basic Rent as the area of the remaining land bears to the area of the entire Demised Premises prior to the taking.

B. Tenant shall, after such taking, at its expense, either restore the remaining building or buildings to a complete architectural unit or construct new buildings or improvements having a value substantially equivalent to or greater than the buildings and improvements (or portions thereof) remaining after such taking, provided the condemnation proceeds payable to Tenant are sufficient to do so.

Section 17.06. In the event of a taking of an easement or any other taking which shall be of an interest or estate in the land less than a fee simple, which taking shall not materially adversely affect the business operations then being conducted on the Demised Premises, such taking shall be deemed a taking insufficient to terminate this Lease and the award therefore shall be paid fully to Landlord for the taking of unimproved land and for other portions of the Premises shall be distributed as hereinabove set forth.

Section 17.07. In the event of any dispute between Landlord or Tenant with regard to any issue or fact (other than one determined by condemnation proceeding or condemnation commissioner arising out of a taking set forth herein and other than one to he determined in accordance with clause B of this Section), such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in the manner hereinafter prescribed.

A. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the distribution to Landlord and Tenant of their respective shares (the “Shares”) of a condemnation award, then same shall be determined in the following manner: Within ten (10) days after the vesting of title pursuant to any such taking, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint on its behalf a disinterested third person (“Appraiser”) who shall be an appraiser who is a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and who shall have at least ten (10) years’ experience dealing with Xxxxxx County, New Jersey commercial real estate, and each party shall give written notice of such appointment to the other party. The two Appraisers thus appointed shall, within fifteen (15) days after appointment of the second appraiser, determine the amount of such award representing the Landlord’s Share and the Tenant’s Share in accordance with the above provisions. If the difference in the determinations by such two Appraisers as to the amount of such award representing the Shares does not exceed ten percent (10%:) of the lower of such determinations, then such Shares shall be the average of the determinations by such two Appraisers. If, however, the difference in the determinations by such two Appraisers as to the amount of such award representing the Shares exceeds ten (10%) percent of the lower of such determinations, then such two Appraisers shall appoint a third Appraiser, and said three Appraisers shall, as promptly as possible, determine the amount of the award representing the Shares. The decision of a majority of the three (3) Appraisers shall be conclusive and binding on Landlord and Tenant and judgment upon the decision may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. If a party who shall have the rights pursuant to the foregoing to appoint an Appraiser fails or neglects to do so, then the other party (or if the two Appraisers appointed by Landlord and Tenant shall fail to appoint a third Appraiser if required to do so under the provisions of this paragraph A, then either Landlord or Tenant) may apply to the Assignment Judge of New Jersey Superior Court, Xxxxxx County, New Jersey, or such other judicial authority to appoint such Appraiser. The expenses of the determination shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant, but each party shall be responsible for the fees of its own attorney and Appraiser. Landlord and Tenant agree to sign all documents and to do all other things reasonably necessary to submit any dispute regarding the Shares to a determination in accordance with this paragraph A and further agree to, and hereby do, waive any and all rights they or either of them may at any time have to revoke their agreement to determine the value of the

Shares in accordance with this paragraph A and to abide by the decision rendered hereunder. The appraisers shall be bound by the provisions of this article.

Section 17.08. If the Term of this Lease shall not be terminated as aforesaid, then the Term of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and subject to the adequacy and availability of condemnation proceeds, Landlord shall within a reasonable time after possession is physically taken (subject to Excusable Delays) repair or rebuild what may remain of the Demised Premises for the occupancy of Tenant; and a just proportion of the Fixed Rent shall be abated, according to the nature and extent of the injury to the Demised Premises, until what may remain of the Demised Premises shall be repaired and rebuilt as aforesaid; and thereafter a just proportion of the Fixed Rent shall be abated, according to the nature and extent of the Demised Premises acquired or condemned, for the balance of the Term of the Lease.

Section 17.09. Any damages payable for trade fixtures installed by Tenant at its own cost and expense and which are not part of the realty and for relocation expenses shall belong entirely to Tenant and Landlord shall make no claim thereto.

Section 17.10. In the event fifty (50%) percent or more of the Shopping Center is taken by condemnation, Tenant, upon thirty (30) days written notice, shall have the right to terminate this Lease.

Landlord’s Remedies

Section 19.01. If an Event of Default shall occur, Landlord may exercise one or more of the following remedies, all of which shall be cumulative and in addition to any remedies available under applicable law:

(A) Without any further notice or demand, terminate this Lease, and Tenant will forthwith quit and surrender the Demised Premises, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided;

(B) Re-enter and resume possession of the Demised Premises and remove all persons and property by summary dispossess proceedings, by appropriate proceedings, without being liable for any damages therefor, and no re-entry shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of this Lease;

(D) Exercise any remedy available at law or in equity to enforce the provisions of this Lease, to recover any damages for a breach of this Lease or to prevent any breach or threatened breach of this Lease; and/or

(E) Recover from Tenant on demand an amount equal to all expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord as a result of an Event of Default or the exercise of its rights and remedies, all reasonable costs and charges for the care of the Demised Premises while vacant, and all charges and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the reletting of the Demised Premises, including broker’s commissions, advertising expenses, and the costs of repairing, renovating or remodeling the Demised Premises.

Section 19.02. If this Lease shall be terminated, as provided in this Article XIX:

(A) Landlord may relet the whole or any part of the Demised Premises for a period equal to, or greater or less than the remainder of the then Term of this Lease, at such rental and upon such terms and concessions as Landlord shall deem reasonable, to any person which it may deem suitable and satisfactory and for any use and purpose which it may deem appropriate. In no event shall Landlord be liable in any respect for failure to collect the rent thereunder. Any sums or other consideration received by Landlord on a reletting in excess of the rent reserved in this Lease shall belong to Landlord.

(B) If this Lease shall be terminated and whether or not the Demised Premises shall be relet, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant an amount equal to all Rent and other charges required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, less the net rent, if any, collected by Landlord on reletting the Demised Premises. Such amount shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord on the several days on which such Rent and other charges would have become due and payable had this Lease not been terminated, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any deficiency then existing. The net rent collected by Landlord on reletting shall be computed by deducting from the gross rents collected the expenses, costs and charges referred to in Subsection 19.01(E). Without any previous notice or demand, separate actions may be instituted by Landlord against Tenant from time to time to recover any damages which at the commencement of any such action shall have become due and payable to Landlord under any provisions hereof without waiting until the end of the original Term of this Lease, and neither the institution of suit or suits, nor the entering of judgment therein shall bar Landlord from bringing a subsequent suit for damages of any kind. It is expressly agreed that the forbearance on the part of Landlord in the institution of any suit or entry of judgment for any part of the Rent shall in no way serve as a defense against nor prejudice a subsequent action for such Rent. Tenant hereby expressly waives Tenant’s right to claim a merger of such subsequent action in any previous suit or in the judgment entered therein. Furthermore, it is expressly agreed that claims for Rent may be regarded by Landlord, if it so elects, as separate claims capable of being assigned.

(C) Landlord, at its election, which shall be exercised by the service of a written notice on Tenant, may collect from Tenant and Tenant shall pay in lieu of the sums becoming due after the service of such notice under the provisions of this Subsection 19.02(C) an amount equal to the difference between the Rent required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease (form the date of the service of such notice to and including the date of the expiration of the Term of this Lease which had been in force immediately prior to any termination effected under this Section) and the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period, discounted to present value at the rate of six (6%) percent per year. In determining the rental value of the Demised Premises, the rental realized by any reletting shall be deemed prima facie evidence thereof.

Section 19.03. Tenant hereby expressly waives any rights of redemption granted by any laws in the event of any eviction or dispossession.

Section 19.04. The Landlord and the Tenant waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either the Landlord or the Tenant against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Demised Premises, and/or any claim of injury or damage.

Section 19.05. If Tenant shall fail to pay or perform any of its obligations when due, then Landlord, in addition to any of its rights and remedies under this Lease and without waiving its rights or remedies with regard thereto, may cure such failure on the part of Tenant.
