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, |

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). |

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. |
|

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 xxxx 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 xxxx, 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 xxxx 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 xxxx 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 xxxx, 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 xxxx 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. |

If Tenant and/or Tenant's successors and assigns shall mortgage their leasehold interest (a "Leasehold Mortgage") and if the holder(s) of such mortgage (a "Leasehold Mortgagee") shall send to Landlord written notice specifying the name and address of the mortgagee (any such lender that shall have given such notice only if such lender is not an affiliate of Tenant shall be deemed a "Recognized Mortgagee" and any mortgage held by such Recognized Mortgagee, a "Recognized Mortgagee"), Landlord agrees that so long as any such Recognized Mortgage shall remain unsatisfied of record or until written notice of satisfaction is given by the holder to Landlord, the following provisions shall apply; |
(a) In the event Recognized Mortgage exercises its right to execute on its security interest in the Lease, Recognized Mortgagee shall acquire all Tenant's rights under this Lease, including options to renew, and shall agree to comply with and otherwise by bound by the terms and conditions of this Lease from and after the effective date of such assignment while (or with respect to any period of time that) Recognized Mortgagee or its designee is in possession of the Demised Premises, Recognized Mortgagee shall cure any monetary and non-monetary defaults of Tenant which arise prior to the date of any assignment of this Lease to Recognized Mortgagee or its designee. In such case, if requested by Recognized Mortgagee, Landlord and Recognized Mortgagee shall cooperate in executing a new lease for the Premises in accordance with this Lease. On request by Recognized Mortgagee, Landlord shall deliver a Landlord's estoppel to Recognized Mortgagee confirming that the Lease is in full force and effect, and whether there are any outstanding defaults.
(b) Except following an event of default, as set forth in Paragraph (d) below, there shall be no cancellation, surrender or modification of this Lease by joint action of Landlord and Tenant without the prior consent in writing of the Recognized Mortgagee;
34
(c) On request by Tenant, Landlord shall deliver a Landlord's estoppel to Tenant's proposed leasehold mortgagee and to Tenant's Recognized Mortgagee, confirming that the Lease is in full force and effect, and whether there are any outstanding defaults;

Upon written request by Recognized Mortgagee at any time after Landlord has provided a default notice to Tenant, Landlord will provide written confirmation of Tenant's cure or failure to cure the default. If Tenant shall not cure any such defaults within such time period, the Recognized Mortgagee shall have a period of twenty (20) days more, in the case of a monetary default, and thirty (30) days more, in the case of all other defaults, than is given to Tenant to cure such default (or to commence and diligently pursue such cure), to remedy the default in question and the Landlord shall accept such performance on the part of the Recognized Mortgagee as though the same had been done or performed by the Tenant.
(e) Anything herein contained notwithstanding, while such Recognized Mortgage remains unsatisfied of record or until written notice of satisfaction is given by the Recognized Mortgagee to Landlord, if any default in the payment of rent or other monetary sum shall occur which, pursuant to any provision of this Lease entitles Landlord to terminate this Lease and if before the expiration of thirty (30) days following the date of service of termination upon such Recognized Mortgagee, any such Recognized Mortgagee shall have notified Landlord, in writing, of its desire to nullify such notice and shall have paid to Landlord all Rent and other payments herein provided for and then in default, then in such event, Landlord shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease due to such monetary default and any notice of termination theretofore given due to such monetary default shall be void and of no effect.
(f) If this Lease shall be terminated because of Tenant's bankruptcy or other default which cannot by its nature be cured by the Recognized Mortgagee, the Recognized Mortgagee, if any, or its assignee or nominee, shall have the right by written notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after notice to the Recognized Mortgagee of such termination to enter into a new lease of the Premises with Landlord for the balance of the term remaining as of the date of any such default, on the same terms and conditions as those contained herein and at the rental prevailing under this Lease and with such rental increases thereafter in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Such new lease, by virtue of the recording of this Lease (or a short form or memorandum thereof), shall have priority equal to this Lease, provided that Landlord shall not be deemed to have made any representation regarding such priority.
(g) A Recognized Mortgagee (or its designee or nominee) may become the legal owner and holder of the interest of Tenant under the Lease, including, without limitation, the interest of Tenant in all improvements erected by Tenant on the Premises, by foreclosure or other enforcement proceedings, or by obtaining an assignment of the Lease in lieu of foreclosure or through settlement of or arising out of any pending or threatened foreclosure proceeding, without Landlord's consent and without any obligation to assume the Lease, but subject to the applicable terms and provisions of the Lease. In the event the Recognized Mortgagee becomes the holder of the interest of Tenant under the Lease, the obligations of the Recognized Mortgagee under the Lease shall be nonrecourse, and Landlord shall look solely to the interest of the Recognized Mortgagee in the Premises for the recovery of any judgment against the Recognized Mortgagee, and Landlord hereby covenants and agrees not to bring any action or suit seeking to impose liability on the Recognized Mortgagee beyond its interest in the Premises. Such right of non-recourse shall be personal to the Recognized Mortgagee or other mortgagee and shall not apply to any other assignee, transferee or other holder of the Lease. Further, the Recognized Mortgagee (or its designee or nominee) shall have the right thereafter to assign the Lease to a "Permitted Assignee" (as hereafter defined), without any requirement for prior notice to or consent by Landlord, but subject to the other terms and provisions of the Lease, provided, that, promptly following such assignment, the Recognized Mortgagee or such assignee shall notify the Landlord of such assignment, including the name and address of the assignee.
