If you see something missing, please let me know. However, the inspection report has revealed a few construction/maintenance issues that need to be fixed. Storm Water Solutions company is working on the estimate for the pond repairs. I was supposed to have the Plan of Action by today, but our Senior Project Manager is out of the office, and I'm not able to get an update from him on the status of this matter until later this week. It is possible that the Plan of Action has already been sent to you directly by Storm Water Solutions. I know that they are actively working on fixing all the issues. I just don't have the direct contact with them and our internal point of contact is out of the office today. If the Plan of Action for this site has not been sent to you directly, can you please provide a few days extension? I will make sure that the Plan of Action is delivered to you this week.

D. Tenant, its subtenants, and their respective customers and other invitees shall have the right to access and use the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week. 5. RENT. A. Tenant shall pay Base Rent to Landlord in the manner provided in Section 5.B in equal consecutive monthly installments in advance on or before the Ist day of each calendar month commencing as of the Commencement Date and continuing through the Term. If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, Base Rent for such month shall be prorated by multiplying such Base Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the Term within such calendar month and the denominator of which is the total number of days within such calendar month. Tenant shall pay its first monthly installment of Base Rent, which may be prorated pursuant to this Section 5.A, on the Commencement Date in connection with Landlord's acquisition of the Premises. B. For purposes of this Lease, the Base Rent, the Real Estate Taxes, the Utility Charges and any and all other amounts, sums, charges, liabilities and obligations which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay or may become liable for under this Lease at any time and from time to time are sometimes collectively referred to as "Rent'; and, in the event of any failure on the part of Tenant to pay any portion of the Rent, every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added for nonpayment or late payment of such items, including, without limitation, all amounts for which Tenant is or may become liable to indemnify Landlord and the Landlord Indemnified Parties under this Lease (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) shall be deemed to be Rent. All Rent is payable in lawful money of the United States of America and legal tender for the payment of public and private debts without notice, demand, abatement, deduction, or setoff under any circumstances, and all Base Rent is payable in accordance with the wire or ACH information as Landlord designates to Tenant in writing from time to time. C. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs and administrative complications not contemplated hereunder, the exact amount and scope of which are presently anticipated to be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if 13 any installment of Rent due to Landlord is not paid on the date it is due for any reason, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand a late charge equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the delinquent installment of Rent and (ii) the highest amount allowed by applicable Law (each a "Late Charge"), provided, however, that for the first two (2) times in a calendar year that any installment of Rent is not paid on the date it is due, such Late Charge shall not apply unless the Rent remains unpaid three (3) days after Landlord provides Tenant notice of such delinquent Rent. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs and expenses (including economic losses) that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. The parties further agree that such late charge is Rent and not interest and such assessment does not constitute a lender or borrower/creditor relationship between Landlord and Tenant. In addition, any amount of delinquent Rent (including the amount of any Late Charge) due to Landlord shall accrue interest at the Default Rate from the date on which such Rent was due up to the date that such Rent is paid provided, however, that for the first two (2) times in a calendar year that any installment of Rent is not paid on the date it is due, such Default Rate shall not apply unless the Rent remains unpaid three (3) days after Landlord provides Tenant notice of such delinquent Rent. The payment of such late charge or such interest shall not constitute waiver of', nor excuse or cure, any default under this Lease, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies available to Landlord. Without limitation of the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for payment of all interest, late charges, and other costs and fees imposed by third parties with respect to late payments of Utilities or other third party charges that are the responsibility of"tenant hereunder. D. For any non-scheduled payment of Rent hereunder that is payable by Tenant on demand by Landlord, such shall be due ten (10) days following written demand therefor by Landlord, without abatement, deduction, or setoff under any circumstances. 6. TRUE LEASE A. It is the intent of Landlord and Tenant that this Lease establish a "true lease" of all parcels constituting the Premises for all purposes under the United States Bankruptcy Code, applicable state law, and for federal income tax purposes. The Rent for the Term is intended to be "fixed rent' within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.467-1(h)(3) for each annual period. This Lease is a "true lease" and does not represent a financing statement, financing lease, financing agreement, device or arrangement, security interest, security agreement, capital lease, mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, trust agreement, or other financing or trust arrangement or any other non -lease transaction. Each of the parties (1) waives any claim or defense based upon the characterization of the Lease as anything other than a "true lease," (2) stipulates and agrees not to 111 challenge, and is estopped from challenging, the validity, enforceability or characterization of the lease of the Premises under the Lease as a "true lease," (3) stipulates and agrees, and is estopped from challenging, that nothing contained in the Lease creates or is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, security interest or the like and (4) shall support the intent of the parties that the lease of the Premises pursuant to this Lease is a "true lease" and does not create a joint venture, partnership, equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, security interest or the like, if, and to the extent that, any challenge occurs. Landlord does not intend to convey any fee interest in any of the Premises to Tenant. Tenant does not intend to obtain an interest in the Premises other than a leasehold interest pursuant to the Lease. The Lease may not be construed in any manner to create any relationship between the parties other than a landlord -tenant relationship. 7. NET LEASE. A. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that (i) this Lease is, and is intended to be, what is commonly referred to as a "net, net, net' or "triple net' lease, and (ii) the Rent shall be paid absolutely net to Landlord, so that this Lease shall yield to Landlord the full amount or benefit of the installments of Base Rent, Real Estate Taxes and all other Rent throughout the Term with respect to the entire Premises, all as more fully set forth in Section 5. All of the costs, expenses, responsibilities and obligations of every kind and nature whatsoever foreseen and unforeseen relating to the condition, use, operation, management, maintenance, repair, restoration and replacement of the Premises and all improvements and appurtenances related thereto or any part thereof shall be performed and paid by Tenant, and Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability therefor. The Tenant covenants to pay Base Rent, Real Estate "Faxes and all other Rent hereunder are independent covenants, and Tenant shall have no right to hold back, offset, deduct, credit against or fail to pay in full any such amounts for claimed or actual default or breach by Landlord of whatsoever nature, for force majeure or for any other reason whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall not have, and hereby expressly and absolutely waives, relinquishes, and covenants not to assert, accept or take advantage of, any right to deposit or pay with or into any court or other third -party escrow, depository account or tenant account with respect to any disputed Rent, or any Rent pending resolution of any other dispute or controversy with Landlord. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all defenses it may have at law or in equity to payment of Rent, including, without limitation, based on any theories of frustration of purpose, impossibility, or otherwise. B. Landlord is the owner of the Sites. This Lease constitutes a single master lease ofall, but not less than all, ofthe Premises. Landlord and Tenant have executed and delivered this Lease with the understanding that this Lease constitutes a unitary, non -severable, indivisible instrument pertaining to all, 15 but not less than all, of the Premises then leased hereunder by Tenant, and that, except as specifically provided in this Lease (and in such cases only to the extent expressly so stated), neither this Lease nor the duties, obligations or rights of Tenant may be allocated or otherwise divided among the Premises by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant each further acknowledge and agree that each of Landlord and Tenant entered into this single master lease as part of the consideration for entering into the leasing transaction between the parties, and that the transaction would not have been consummated if there were to have been separate lease agreements for each of the individual Sites. Except as expressly provided in this Lease, the Base Rent payable hereunder is payable for all the Sites as a single, indivisible, integrated and unitary economic unit and that but for such integration, the Base Rent payable under this Lease would have been computed on a different basis. A default of any of the terns or conditions of this Lease occurring with respect to any particular Site shall constitute a default under this Lease in its entirety. Landlord and Tenant agree that for the purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under I I U.S.C. Section 365 or any amendment or successor section thereof, this is one indivisible and non -severable lease dealing with and covering one legal and economic unit which must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only all) the Premises then leased by Tenant hereunder, subject to the terms of this Lease. In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant intend that: This Lease is intended to be a "true lease" and an "operating lease" and not a financing lease, capital lease, mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, trust agreement, security agreement or other financing or trust arrangement, and the economic realities of this Lease are those of a true lease. The business relationship created by this Lease and any related documents is solely that of a long term commercial lease between Landlord and Tenant, this Lease has been entered into by both parties in reliance upon the economic and legal bargains contained herein, and none of the agreements contained herein is intended, or shall be deemed or construed, to create a partnership (de facto or de jure) between Landlord and Tenant, to make them joint venturers, to make Tenant an agent, legal representative, partner, subsidiary or employee of Landlord, or to make Landlord in any way responsible for the debts, obligations or losses of Tenant. 2. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Term with respect to any Site, including any term extensions provided for in this Lease, is less than the remaining economic life ofany such Site. 3. The parties acknowledge and agree that the amounts allocated to each Site on Exhibit B-2 are set forth solely for the convenience and I IN use of the parties in making certain calculations as may be necessary from time to time pursuant to the provisions hereof. 4.

App. § 5, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701-06, the Patriot Act, Public Law 107-56, Executive Order 13224 (September 23, 2001) or any Executive Order ofthe President issued pursuant to such statutes; or named on the following list that is published by OFAC: "List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons" (collectively, "Prohibited Persons"), (2) is under investigation by any governmental authority for, or has been charged with, or convicted of, any violation of any Anti -Money Laundering Laws, or drug trafficking, terrorist -related activities or other money laundering predicated crimes or a violation ofthe BSA, (3) has been assessed civil penalties under these or related laws, or (4) has had any of its funds seized or forfeited in an action under these or related laws; provided, however, none of the foregoing shall apply to any person to the extent that such person's interest is in or through a U.S. Publicly -Traded Entity. If the foregoing representations are untrue at any time during the Term and Landlord suffers actual damages as a result thereof, an Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred, without the necessity of notice to Tenant. C. Tenant has taken reasonable steps, consistent with industry practice for comparable organizations and in any event as required by Law, to ensure that Tenant is and shall be in compliance with all (1) Anti -Money Laundering Laws and (2) OFAC Laws and Regulations. Tenant will not during the Term knowingly engage in any transactions or dealings, or knowingly be otherwise associated, with any Prohibited Persons in connection with the use or occupancy of the Premises. A breach of the representations contained in this Section 17 by Tenant as a result of which Landlord suffers actual damages shall constitute a material breach of this Lease and shall entitle Landlord to any and all remedies available hereunder, or at law or in equity. 18. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable (by way of subrogation or otherwise) to the other party (or to any insurance company insuring the other party) for any loss or damage to the property of the releasing party to the extent the loss or damage is covered by property insurance carried or required by this Lease to be carried by the releasing party EVEN THOUGH SUCH LOSS MIGHT HAVE BEEN OCCASIONED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LANDLORD OR TENANT OR THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS OR INVITEES. Landlord and "tenant shall give each insurance company which issues policies of insurance, with respect to the items covered by this waiver, written notice ofthe terms ofthis mutual waiver, and shall have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of any of the coverage provided by such insurance policies by reason of such mutual waiver. For the purpose of the foregoing waiver, the amount of any deductible or self -insured retention applicable to any loss or damage shall be T11 deemed covered by, and recoverable by the insured under the insurance policy to which such deductible or self -insured retention relates. Each party shall pay any additional expense, if any, for obtaining such waiver. 19. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY. A. All proceeds (except business interruption insurance proceeds not allocated to Rent expenses) payable by reason of any property loss, damage, or destruction of or to the Premises by fire or other casualty, or any portion thereof, under any property policy of insurance required to be carried hereunder, shall be used first for the repair of any damage to the Premises (other than such payment of Rent). Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction and with materials and workmanship of like kind and quality and to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction, and in accordance with the general terms and conditions of Exhibit C attached hereto, as applicable (collectively, "Restoration Standards"), shall be retained by Tenant. Tenant shall have the right to reasonably prosecute and settle insurance claims. B. In the event of a fire or other casualty resulting in the payment of insurance proceeds in an amount greater than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), to the extent such proceeds are paid by the insurer in advance of any repair, restoration, or replacement being performed and not as reimbursement following Tenant's restoration of a Premises (with any insurance proceeds paid as a reimbursement being retained by Tenant and not turned over to Landlord), such proceeds with respect to the Premises shall be paid to Landlord to be held by Landlord or Landlord Mortgagee for purpose of repair, restoration, or replacement of the Premises and made available to Tenant upon request, pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 19. Landlord shall make available to Tenant the insurance proceeds paid to Landlord for such repair, restoration or replacement of the Premises as it progresses (other than business interruption proceeds to be allocated to Rent expenses as aforesaid). Payments shall be made against certification of the architect responsible for the supervision of the repairs and rebuilding that the work had been performed substantially in conformance with the approved plans and specifications therefor. Landlord shall contribute to such payments, out of the insurance proceeds being held by Landlord, an amount equal to the proportion that the total net amount so held by Landlord from time to time bears to the total remaining estimated cost of repairing, restoring and replacing. C. If the Premises or any portion thereof is materially damaged by fire or other casualty, whether or not from a risk covered by insurance, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice thereof, and Rent shall continue unabated notwithstanding any casualty to the Premises. Tenant waives any statutory 31 rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Premises or any portion thereof. D. In the event ofa fire or other casualty, Tenant shall, at its expense regardless of the amount of any such damage or destruction and whether or not the insurance proceeds attributable such damage or destruction made available to Tenant, if any, shall be sufficient for the purpose, cause the Premises to be repaired, restored and replaced in accordance with all Law, this Section 19.13 and the Restoration Standards, as expeditiously as practicable using reasonable diligence to a condition as nearly as practicable to that which existed immediately prior to occurrence of the fire or other casualty and otherwise in a good workmanlike manner, using new materials of like quality. E. No damage or destruction of the Premises or any portion thereof as a result of lire or any other hazard, risk or casualty whatsoever shall relieve Tenant from Tenant's liability and obligation to timely pay the full Rent payable under this Lease and Rent shall continue unabated notwithstanding any casualty. F. The provisions of this Lease, including this Section 19 constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, and any Law with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any similar or successor Laws now or hereinafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises. 20. CONDEMNATION. A. Tenant and Landlord shall promptly give the other written notice upon knowledge of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding or other governmental taking affecting the Premises or any portion thereof, and, to the extent not otherwise received, shall deliver to the other copies of any and all papers served in connection therewith. Subject to the remainder of this Section 20, if during the Term all or any part of the Premises shall be taken for any public or any quasi -public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain or by private purchase in lieu thereof, all compensation awarded or paid as a result thereof shall belong to and be the property of Landlord without any participation by Tenant and without any deduction therefrom for any estate hereby vested in or owned by Tenant and Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord any award or payment to which Tenant may be or become entitled by reason of any taking of the Premises or any part thereof, subject to the other provisions of this Section 20. Landlord shall have the exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any such award proceeds and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such award. Nothing 32 herein shall be deemed to preclude Tenant from prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority in such condemnation proceeding for (i) Tenant's value of leasehold improvements made to the Site by Tenant, (ii) Tenant's Personal Property or the cost of removal thereof, (iii) relocation/moving costs and, additionally, and (iv) Tenant may make a separate claim with the condemning authority for Tenant's enterprise or business value. Tenant and Landlord each agree to execute any and all further documents that may be reasonably required in order to facilitate collection by such party of any and all awards. Tenant, in cooperation with Landlord, shall have the right to participate in any condemnation proceedings for the purpose of protecting Tenant's interest hereunder. B. If during the Term all or substantially all of any Site shall be taken for any public or any quasi -public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain or by private purchase in lieu thereof, then Tenant may, not later than thirty (30) days after any such taking, give notice to Landlord of its intention to terminate this Lease as to such Site on any business day specified in such notice which occurs not less than thirty (30) nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after such taking.

A taking of substantially all of a Site under this Section 203 shall be deemed to have occurred only if such taking results in (u) the rentable square footage ofthe Property being permanently reduced by (1) twenty percent (20%) or more for a Site that is under two (2) acres or (11) thirty percent (30%) or more for a Site that is two (2) acres or greater, (v) the parking area of the Property being permanently reduced so that the remaining parking area of the Property is illegal under applicable zoning ordinances as to parking, (w) petroleum delivery trucks being unable to access such Site (x) any requirement to permanently remove fifty percent (50%) or more of the canopies or (1) any of the storage tanks located at a Site with four (4) or Tess storage tanks at such Site or (II) more than twenty percent (20%) of the storage tanks located at a Site with five (5) or more storage tanks at such Site or the permanent reduction of more than twenty- five percent (25%) of the fuel dispensers located at the Property, and such canopies, storage tanks or fuel dispensers, as applicable, cannot be relocated or reconfigured on the Site, or (y) a permanent loss of access, ingress or egress, or any other appurtenance necessary for the operation of such Site substantially in the manner in which it had previously been operated and there is no reasonably equivalent replacement therefor. 33 C. If during the Term all or any part of a Site shall be taken for any public or any quasi -public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain or by private purchase in lieu thereof and if the Lease is not terminated as to such Site pursuant to Section 20.13 as expressly provided in Section 20.B, then this Lease shall continue in full effect subject to a proportionate reduction of Rent or other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease based on the loss of the rentable square footage of any Building on the Property resulting from such taking or private purchase, notwithstanding such taking or private purchase. Tenant shall, promptly after any such taking and at its expense (regardless of whether any awards are available as a result of such taking), repair any damage caused by any such taking in accordance with this Section 20 and the Restoration Standards and so that, after the completion ol' such repair, such Site shall be, as nearly as possible, in a condition as good as the condition thereof immediately prior to such taking, except for ordinary wear and tear. All of the net award collected by Landlord pursuant to Section 20.A shall be held by Landlord (or Landlord Mortgagee) and applied and paid over toward the cost of repair of damage due to such taking against certificates of Tenant, signed by an authorized officer of Tenant, delivered to Landlord from time to time as such repair progresses or is completed, each such certificate describing such repair for which Tenant is requesting payment, the cost incurred by Tenant in connection therewith and stating that Tenant has not theretofore received payment for such repair. If the cost of repairs shall exceed the net award collected by Landlord, Tenant shall pay the deficiency. Any balance remaining in the hands of Landlord after payment of such costs of demolition, repair and restoration shall be retained by Landlord. D. If the use or occupancy of any Site or any portion thereof shall be temporarily requisitioned by any governmental authority, civil or military, then this Lease shall continue in full effect notwithstanding such requisition, without abatement or reduction of Rent or other sums payable by Tenant hereunder, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive the entire net award payable by reason of such temporary requisition. Any requisition of twelve (12) months or longer shall be considered a taking of substantially all of a Site under Section 203, and Tenant shall be afforded the termination rights as and to the extent set forth in said Section 20.13. 21. INDEMNIFICATION. A. Notwithstanding the existence of any insurance required to be provided hereunder (but not in duplication thereof), and without regard to the policy limits of any such insurance, and in addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity provided in this Lease, Tenant shall protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless all Landlord Indemnified Parties from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, losses, costs, fees and expenses, including without limitation reasonable counsel fees and court costs, to the maximum extent permitted 34 by Law, imposed upon, asserted against or suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Party directly or indirectly by reason of any claim, suit or judgment obtained or brought by or on behalf of any person or persons against any Landlord Indemnified Party, for damage, loss or expense, which arise out of, are occasioned by, or are in any way attributable to or related to the following: (i) Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises; (ii) the conduct of Tenant's business at the Premises; (iii) any activity, work or thing done or permitted by or on behalf of Tenant or its agents, contractors or subtenants in or about the Premises; (iv) the condition of the Premises; (v) the Lease or any breach or default in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under the terms of this Lease or arising from any act, neglect, fault or omission of Tenant or Tenant's Representatives; or (vi) the Premises or any accident, injury to or death of any person or damage to any property howsoever caused in or on the Premises, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and/or any Landlord Indemnified Parties. Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against any Landlord Indemnified Party ("Landlord Claim"). If at any time a Landlord Indemnified Party shall have received written notice of or shall otherwise be aware of any Landlord Claim which is subject to indemnity under this Section 2 LA, such Landlord Indemnified Party shall give reasonably prompt written notice of such Landlord Claim to Tenant; provided, that, except to the extent Tenant is materially prejudiced in its defense of such Landlord Claim, (1) such Landlord Indemnified Party shall have no liability fora failure to give notice of any Landlord Claim, and (II) the failure of such Landlord Indemnified Party to give such a notice to Tenant shall not limit the rights of such Landlord Indemnified Party or the obligations of Tenant with respect to such Landlord Claim. Tenant shall have the right to reasonably control the defense of any Landlord Claim; provided that Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and Tenant shall not settle any Landlord Claim without Landlord's approval, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Subject to Tenant's right of first refusal provided in Section 46 hereof, this Lease shall be fully assignable by the Landlord or its successors and assigns, in whole or in part in connection with Landlord's sale or transfer of its interest in a Site. In the event that from time to time Landlord desires to sever and partially assign its interest in the Lease with respect to one or more of the Sites in their entirety, then (a) the Base Rent allocated to any Sites covered by the partial assignment (the "Allocated Base Rent Amount") shall be equal to the product of the Applicable Rent Reduction Percentage for such Sites and the then current Base Rent; (b) Landlord and Tenant shall within ten (10) business days of written request (the "Landlord Severance Notice") by Landlord enter into (i) a lease modification agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-1 (each a "Lease Modification Agreement") and (ii) a new lease agreement covering such assigned Sites in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-2 (each a "New Lease"); (c) Landlord and Landlord's assignee shall enter into a landlord assignment and assumption of lease agreement with respect to such New Lease so assigned in the form reasonably required by Landlord's assignee (each a "Landlord Assignment Agreement," together with the Lease Modification Agreement and the New Lease, collectively, with respect to each Site or Sites being transferred, the "Lease Transfer Documents"); (d) upon the assignment by Landlord, this Lease shall be amended (pursuant to the Lease Modification Agreement) to exclude any such Sites the subject of such partial assignment from the Lease, and to reduce the Base Rent hereunder by the Allocated Base Rent Amount; (e) the successor Landlord to the assigned Sites shall provide Tenant with a Form W-9 and provide details for payments of future Rent to the successor Landlord for the new lease; (0 the successor Landlord for the assigned Sites shall execute a collateral access agreement either in the form attached as Exhibit 1 or in such other form as may be reasonably acceptable to successor Landlord; and (g) the Base Rent payable under the New Lease will equal the Allocated Base Rent Amount.

Except as provided in Section 22.H or otherwise expressly provided herein, 37 without the prior written consent of Landlord, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion: (i) Tenant shall not assign, transfer, convey, sublease, pledge or mortgage this Lease or any interest therein, whether by operation of law or otherwise; and (ii) no change of Control of Guarantor shall occur, provided that Landlord consent shall not be required (but prior written notice to Landlord shall be required) under this clause (iii) for any Permitted Guarantor Change of Control (each of items (i) through (iii) are hereinafter referred to as a "Transfer"). For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Permitted Guarantor Change of Control" shall mean any change of Control of Guarantor with respect to which any of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) immediately following such change of Control of Guarantor, Guarantor (or the successor to Guarantor, if applicable) has an investment grade rating (public or private) pursuant to ratings established by at least two (2) of the following Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organizations (NRSRO): Standard & Poor's, Moody's, Fitch, Morningstar, Kroll, and Egan -Jones; (2) immediately following such change of Control of Guarantor, Guarantor (or the successor to Guarantor, if applicable) has the following, as applicable: (a) if such change of Control occurs during Time Period One, both (i) EBITDA equal to or greater than One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00) and (ii) net worth equal to or greater than the product of (A) ten percent (10%) multiplied by (B) the Total Landlord Investment, (b) if such change of Control occurs during Time Period Two and the Acquisition Threshold has not been satisfied, net worth equal to or greater than the product of (A) ten percent (10)% multiplied by (B) the Total Landlord Investment, or (c) if such change of Control occurs during Time Period Two and the Acquisition "Threshold has been satisfied, both (i) EBITDA equal to or greater than One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00) and (ii) net worth equal to or greater than One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00); or (3) prior to such change of Control of Guarantor, Tenant delivers to Landlord an irrevocable standby letter of credit in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord ("Letter of Credit") in an amount equal to the aggregate Base Rent scheduled to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder from the date of delivery of such Letter of Credit until the date that is twelve (12) months thereafter (the "Security Deposit"), to be held by Landlord for the balance of the Term. Upon Tenant's failure to timely pay Rent or any other sums due under this Lease, Landlord may, without limiting any other rights Landlord may have herein, draw on such Letter of Credit to satisfy any such unpaid monetary obligation of Tenant, and "Tenant shall, immediately upon written notice from Landlord thereof, deposit with Landlord an amount in cash sufficient to replenish the Security Deposit to its original amount. The Letter of Credit shall be issued (the following collectively, the "LC Issuer Requirements"): (a) by a commercial bank with a net worth of at least Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000), (b) that is chartered under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and which is insured by the 38 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (c) whose long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations are rated in the highest category by at least two of Fitch Ratings Ltd.

If at any time following the delivery of the Letter of Credit by Tenant pursuant to this Section 22.13 the LC Issuer Requirements are not satisfied, then Tenant shall, no later than ten (10) business days thereafter, deliver to Landlord either a replacement Letter of Credit which meets the LC Issuer Requirements or cash in the amount of the Security Deposit. If Tenant fails to deliver a replacement Letter of Credit from an institution that satisfies the LC Issuer Requirements or such cash Security Deposit to Landlord within such ten (10) business day period, Landlord, at its option, upon the delivery of written notice to Tenant may draw upon the Letter of Credit and instruct the Letter of Credit issuer to deliver the full amount of the Letter of Credit to Landlord as a cash Security Deposit. It is Tenant's responsibility to maintain and renew the Letter of Credit such that it is in effect at all times until the return of the Letter of Credit to Tenant in accordance herewith. Tenant shall renew such Letter of Credit no later than thirty (30) days prior to any expiration date thereof or replace such Letter of Credit with a replacement Letter of Credit which otherwise meets the LC Issuer Requirements or with a cash Security Deposit. If Tenant has not renewed the Letter of Credit (and delivered the original of such renewal documentation to Landlord) or delivered a satisfactory replacement Letter of Credit or cash Security Deposit to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, Landlord, at its option, may draw upon the Letter of Credit and instruct the Letter of Credit issuer to deliver the full amount of the Letter of Credit to Landlord as a cash Security Deposit. In lieu of the Letter of Credit, Tenant may elect to deliver to Landlord a rental insurance product, issued by an investment -grade insurer, which will "credit wrap" all of the Tenant's obligations under this Lease for the entire Term. In addition, Guarantor shall not, at any time, transfer any asset of Guarantor if, immediately following such transfer, the EBITDA of Guarantor would be less than One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00), unless, prior to such transfer of such asset, Tenant provides the ARKO Guaranty (as hereinafter defined) to Landlord. In addition, no interest in "Tenant, or in any individual or person owning directly or indirectly any interest in Tenant, shall be transferred, assigned or conveyed to any individual or person whose property or interests are subject to being blocked under any of the OFAC Laws and Regulations and/or who 39 is in violation of any of the OFAC Laws and Regulations, and any such transfer, assignment or conveyance shall not be effective until the transferee has provided written certification to "Tenant and Landlord that (A) the transferee or any person who owns directly or indirectly any interest in transferee, is not an individual or entity whose property or interests arc subject to being blocked under any of the OFAC Laws and Regulations or is otherwise in violation of the OFAC Laws and Regulations, and (B) the transferee has taken reasonable measures to assure than any individual or entity who owns directly or indirectly any interest in transferee, is not an individual or entity whose property or interests are subject to being blocked under any of the OFAC Laws and Regulations or is otherwise in violation of the OFAC Laws and Regulations; provided, however, the covenant contained in this sentence shall not apply to any person to the extent that such person's interest is in or through a U.S. Publicly -Traded Entity. E. Landlord's consent to a Transfer shall be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as Landlord shall determine in its reasonable discretion, including, without limitation, the proposed transferee having satisfactory creditworthiness as determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion. In addition, any such consent shall be conditioned upon the payment by Tenant to Landlord of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such consent, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees. The provisions of this Section 22 shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Landlord has consented to any previous Transfer. No Transfer shall relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Lease or any guarantor of this Lease of any of its obligations under the Guaranty, it being understood that the initial Tenant under this Lease and the Guarantor always shall remain liable and responsible for the obligations of the tenant hereunder unless Landlord consents to release the initial Tenant under this Lease and the Guarantor based on the creditworthiness of any successor tenant and/or guarantor. Any Transfer in violation of this Section 22 shall be voidable at the sole option of Landlord. 1'. Any Transfer shall not relieve Tenant, or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, of the obligation to obtain the consent of Landlord, pursuant to this Section 22, to any further Transfer. In the event of a sublease, if there exists an Event of Default, Landlord may collect rent from the subtenant without waiving any rights under this Lease while such Event of Default is continuing. At Tenant's request, Landlord shall inform Tenant when it has collected such rent from the subtenant. Any rent Landlord may collect from any such subtenant will be first applied to the Rent due and payable under this Lease and any other amounts then due and payable and then applied to the Rent as it becomes due and payable under this Lease. The collection of the Rent and any other sums due and payable under this Lease, from a person other than "Tenant shall not be a waiver of any of Landlord's rights under this Section 22.1, an acceptance of assignee or .M subtenant as Tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. No Transfer shall affect the liability of Guarantor under the Guaranty. G. No Transfer shall impose any additional obligations on Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord (and Landlord's Mortgagee, if applicable) for Landlord's reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in conjunction with the reviewing and processing and documentation of any Transfer requiring Landlord's consent regardless of whether such Transfer is consummated.

For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant and Guarantor shall remain fully liable under this Lease, notwithstanding any such Transfer or sublease. With respect to any sublease ofthe Premises, (i) such sublease, by its terms, must be expressly subordinate to and subject to the terms of this Lease (and all future amendments to this Lease), (ii) the use contemplated under such sublease must not breach the use restrictions herein, (iii) such sublease shall not impose any additional obligations on Landlord under this Lease, and (iv) Landlord shall have no obligation to recognize any or to agree to not disturb any subtenant or other occupant of Tenant upon any Event of Default of Tenant under this Lease, unless Landlord shall agree to do so in writing by separate instrument, but Landlord, acting in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have no obligation to do so. 23. LIENS. Tenant will not, directly or indirectly, create or permit to be created or to remain, and will promptly discharge, at its expense, any mechanic's, supplier's or vendor's lien, encumbrance or charge on the Premises or any part hereof. The existence of any mechanic's, supplier's or vendor's lien, or any right in respect thereof, shall not constitute a violation of this Section 23 if payment is not yet due upon the contract or for the goods or services in respect of which any such lien has arisen or, if Tenant is protesting or challenging such lien in good faith and has, within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives actual notice of such lien, bonded over such lien.
