 LEASE AGREEMENT 
 THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (the “Lease”) is made and entered into as of this          day of
                , 200  , by and between NATIONAL RETAIL PROPERTIES, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Landlord”), and THE
PANTRY, INC., a Delaware corporation with offices in Sanford, North Carolina (the “Tenant”). 
 Landlord and Tenant covenant and
agree as follows: 
 1. PREMISES. In consideration of the rents, terms, covenants, and agreements set forth in this Lease to be paid,
kept, and performed, Landlord grants, demises, and lets to Tenant, and Tenant hereby takes, rents, and leases from Landlord, on the terms, covenants, provisions, and agreements provided in this Lease, the Premises (as hereinafter defined).

 Landlord is seized and possessed of a fee simple title to a certain tract of land (the “Land”) in the City of
                ,
                         County,
                        , described as follows: 
 See Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. 
 The Land as described on Exhibit A includes or will include all existing parking spaces, septic tanks and fields (if applicable), structures housing car washes (if applicable), buildings and building overhangs
(if applicable), signs, and curb cuts required in connection with the use of the Premises (as hereinafter defined) as a convenience store selling petroleum products, but excludes the following: (i) all of the Petroleum Equipment (as
defined in Section 5), (ii) all of Tenant’s Personal Property (as defined in Section 6), and (iii) built-in refrigeration equipment and walk-in coolers. The Land, together with all improvements thereon or to be constructed
thereon (the “Improvements”), but excluding the property described in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) at the end of the preceding sentence, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Premises.” 
 2. TERM. The term of this Lease (the “Base Term”) shall commence on the date Landlord acquires fee simple title to the Premises
(the “Effective Date”) and shall expire on the day that is fifteen (15) years thereafter, provided, however, if the Effective Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the Base Term shall expire on the last day of the month
in which the expiration of the Base Term occurs. The Base Term, together with any properly exercised Renewal Term (as defined herein) shall be collectively referred to as the “Term.” A “Lease Year” shall be a period of twelve
(12) consecutive calendar months beginning on the Effective Date and each anniversary thereof; provided, however, the first Lease Year shall include the period from the Effective Date to the first day of the next following calendar month after
the Effective Date. Landlord and Tenant agree to execute and deliver to the other a date agreement memorializing the Effective Date, the expiration date of the Base Term, and the commencement and expiration dates of the Renewal Terms. 
  

 1 








 The six (6) five (5) year periods following the Base Term for which Tenant will have an option
to renew this Lease as provided in Section 3 shall be hereinafter referred to individually as a “Renewal Term” or collectively as the “Renewal Terms.” 
 3. RENEWAL OPTION. Provided and upon the condition that Tenant shall not then be in default under the terms of this Lease beyond any applicable
grace or cure period, this Lease shall be automatically renewed for six (6) additional five (5) year periods without action on the part of either party hereto. In the event Tenant does not desire to renew this Lease for any of the six
(6) five (5) year Renewal Terms, Tenant shall notify Landlord of its intention not to renew this Lease at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the termination of the then current Lease period, and in the event such
notification is not given by Tenant, this Lease shall be automatically extended as above provided. References to the Term of this Lease shall include extensions, if any. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the terms and conditions of this
Lease shall remain in effect during any extension of the Term of this Lease. 
 4. RENTAL. Tenant shall pay Rent (sometimes
“rent”) to Landlord as set forth below. Rent shall be calculated on an annual basis and shall be payable in advance in equal monthly installments on or before the first day of each month. Rent shall be paid via electronic transfer of
funds (via ACH transfer or wire transfer), or at Landlord’s option (upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to Tenant), by check sent by ordinary first class mail to Landlord at 450 S. Orange Avenue, Suite 900, Orlando, Florida 32801
or at such other address as Landlord may designate in writing from time to time. 
 (a) Base Term. The annual Rent during the Base
Term shall be calculated as follows: 
 (i) Commencing on the Effective Date, the annual rent during the first five
(5) Lease Years of the Base Term shall be $                     payable in monthly installments of
$                    . 
 (ii) For Lease Years six (6) through ten (10), the annual rent shall be
increased by (but in no event shall the rent decrease) the lesser of (A) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the fifth (5th) Lease Year multiplied by 0.065 (i.e., increased by 6.5%), or (B) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the fifth (5th) Lease Year multiplied by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index, all items, all groups, (1982 – 1984 = 100), published by the United
States Department of Labor (“CPI”) from the period beginning on the date which is three (3) months prior to the Effective Date and ending three (3) months prior to the end of the fifth (5th) Lease Year.1 
  


	 1
	 For purposes of clarification, an example of calculating “percentage increase,” is as follows:
For any given adjustment period, assume that the CPI in effect on the earlier date is 150 and the CPI in effect on the later date is 160. In such case, the “percentage increase” would be 6.67% [i.e., (160 – 150) ÷ 150 = 0.0667
(or 6.67%)]. 


  

 2 








 (iii) For Lease Years eleven
(11) through fifteen (15), the annual rent shall be increased by (but in no event shall the rent decrease) the lesser of (A) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the tenth (10th) Lease Year multiplied by 0.065 (i.e., increased by 6.5%), or (B) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the tenth (10th) Lease Year multiplied by the percentage increase in the CPI from the period beginning on the date which is three
(3) months prior to the first day of the sixth (6th) Lease Year and ending three (3) months prior to
the end of the tenth (10th) Lease Year. 
 (b) Renewal Terms. The Annual Rent during the Renewal Term shall be calculated as follows: 
 (i) The annual rent during the first (1st) Renewal Term, which comprises Lease Years sixteen (16) through twenty (20), shall be increased by (but in no event shall the rent
decrease) the lesser of (A) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the fifteenth (15th) Lease
Year multiplied by 0.065 (i.e., increased by 6.5%), or (B) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the fifteenth (15th) Lease Year multiplied by the percentage increase in the CPI from the period beginning on the date which is three (3) months prior to the first day of the eleventh (11th) Lease Year and ending three (3) months prior to the end of the fifteenth (15th) Lease Year. 
 (ii) The annual rent during the second (2nd) Renewal Term, which comprises Lease Years twenty-one (21) through twenty-five (25), shall be increased by (but in no event shall the rent
decrease) the lesser of (A) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the twentieth (20th) Lease
Year multiplied by 0.065 (i.e., increased by 6.5%), or (B) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the twentieth (20th) Lease Year multiplied by the percentage increase in the CPI from the period beginning on the date which is three (3) months prior to the first day of the sixteenth (16th) Lease Year and ending three (3) months prior to the end of the twentieth (20th) Lease Year. 
 (iii) The annual rent during the third (3rd) Renewal Term, which comprises Lease Years twenty-six (26) through thirty (30), shall be increased by (but in no event shall the rent
decrease) the lesser of (A) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the twenty-fifth (25th) Lease Year multiplied by 0.065 (i.e., increased by 6.5%), or (B) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the twenty-fifth (25th) Lease Year multiplied by the percentage increase in the CPI from the period beginning on the date which is three (3) months prior to the first day of the twenty-first (21st) Lease Year and ending three (3) months prior to the end of the twenty-fifth (25th) Lease Year. 
 (iv) The annual rent during the fourth (4th) Renewal Term, which comprises Lease Years thirty-one (31) through thirty-five (35), shall be increased by (but in no event shall the rent
decrease) the lesser of (A) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the thirtieth (30th) Lease
Year multiplied by 0.065 (i.e., increased by 6.5%), or (B) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the 

  

 3 








 
thirtieth (30th) Lease Year multiplied by the percentage increase in the CPI from the period beginning on the date which is three (3) months prior to the first day of the twenty-sixth (26th) Lease Year and ending three (3) months prior to the end of the thirtieth (30th) Lease Year. 
 (v) The annual rent during the fifth (5th) Renewal Term, which comprises Lease Years thirty-six (36) through forty (40), shall be increased by (but in no event shall the rent
decrease) the lesser of (A) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the thirty-fifth (35th) Lease Year multiplied by 0.065 (i.e., increased by 6.5%), or (B) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the thirty-fifth (35th) Lease Year multiplied by the percentage increase in the CPI from the period beginning on the date which is three (3) months prior to the first day of the thirty-first (31st) Lease Year and ending three (3) months prior to the end of the thirty-fifth (35th) Lease Year. 
 (vi) The annual rent during the sixth (6th) Renewal Term, which comprises Lease Years forty-one (41) through forty-five (45), shall be increased by (but in no event shall the rent
decrease) the lesser of (A) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the fortieth (40th) Lease
Year multiplied by 0.065 (i.e., increased by 6.5%), or (B) an amount equal to the annual rent payable in the fortieth (40th) Lease Year multiplied by the percentage increase in the CPI from the period beginning on the date which is three (3) months prior to the first day of the thirty-sixth (36th) Lease Year and ending three (3) months prior to the end of the fortieth (40th) Lease Year. 
 (c) Net Lease. Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that it is intended that this Lease will be, except as otherwise expressly stated herein, a completely “net lease” to Landlord, and that Landlord is not responsible for any costs, charges, expenses, and outlays of
any nature whatsoever arising from or relating to the Premises, whether arising or accruing prior to or during the Term of this Lease, including, without limitation, the Improvements, or the use and occupancy thereof, or the contents thereof or the
business carried on therein, except as may be otherwise expressly stated herein. Tenant shall pay all charges, impositions, costs, and expenses of every nature and kind relating to the Premises arising or accruing prior to or during the Term of this
Lease, except as herein expressly provided to the contrary. Tenant covenants and agrees that the Rent to be paid hereunder shall be, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or permitted by law, paid without off-set or deduction. Landlord shall
have the right to accept all Rent and other payments, whether full or partial, and to negotiate checks and payments thereof without any waiver of rights, irrespective of any conditions to the contrary sought to be imposed by Tenant. The Rent for any
partial month shall be prorated based upon the number of days in said month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be responsible for any costs, charges, or expenses pertaining to Landlord’s organizational overhead, the financing or
refinancing of the Premises by Landlord. 
 (d) At such time as the annual rent is adjusted in accordance with subparagraphs (a) and
(b) above (i.e., every five (5) years), Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the amount of the new Rent and shall provide Tenant with Landlord’s calculation of the new Rent (which
shall be made in accordance with the 

  

 4 








 
provisions of subparagraphs (a) and (b) above). The annual rent payable during the Base Term and Renewal Terms as so calculated shall be payable in
monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of such amount. If the manner in which the CPI is determined by the Department of Labor shall be substantially revised, an adjustment shall be made by Landlord and Tenant, acting cooperatively
with each other, for the purposes of making adjustments in annual rent as above provided so as to produce results equivalent as nearly as possible to those that would have resulted if the CPI had not been so revised. If the CPI shall become
unavailable to the public because publication is discontinued, or otherwise, Landlord and Tenant shall agree to a substitution therefor with a comparable index based upon changes in the cost of living or purchasing power of the consumer dollar
published by a governmental agency, or, if no such index shall then be available, a comparable index published by a major bank or other financial institution, a university, or a financial publication of multi-state or national circulation mutually
acceptable to Landlord and Tenant. 
 5. ENVIRONMENTAL; PETROLEUM EQUIPMENT. 
 (a) Tenant is and shall remain and be the owner and operator of all Petroleum Equipment (as defined below) on the Premises, and, accordingly, is
further deemed to be such for purposes of compliance with and liabilities arising from all Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined). At any time during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to install or cause to be installed and to
maintain, replace, relocate, repair, upgrade and operate petroleum marketing equipment, including, but not limited to, underground or above ground storage tanks and their associated underground or above ground and/or connected piping, and related
lines, pumps, dispensers, mechanical, control and detectional equipment, environmental assessment and remediation equipment related thereto (collectively, “Petroleum Equipment”). Upon reasonable written request from Landlord, Tenant shall
provide Landlord with a copy of any permit required by any applicable Environmental Laws for the Premises. 
 (b) Tenant shall comply with
all laws, including Environmental Laws, relating to the use, storage, transportation, dispensing, sale or release of Hazardous Material (as hereinafter defined) at the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall comply with all laws,
including Environmental Laws, relating to the Petroleum Equipment, including, without limitation, installation, operation, maintenance, calibration and alarm systems, registration, financial assurances, and (subject to
Section 5(d) below) closure, and promptly shall implement any and all upgrade requirements promulgated by any government agency having jurisdiction as soon as practicable, but in no event later than any applicable deadline announced
or promulgated by the government agency unless Tenant shall have received an extension of the deadline for compliance from such government agency. Tenant shall not use, store, transport, dispense or sell Hazardous Material at the Premises, or
surrounding areas, except as reasonably necessary for the permitted use of the Premises, including the retail sale of gasoline and/or kerosene and/or propane gas in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws. Except as contemplated by the
preceding sentence, Tenant shall not release, nor shall Tenant permit any employee, contractor, agent or invitee to release, any Hazardous Material on the Premises, into the air or the surrounding land, surface water or ground water except as
expressly permitted by law, including Environmental Laws, and approved in writing by Landlord in its sole discretion. Tenant shall obtain and maintain all necessary permits, approvals, registrations, certificates, and authorizations
(“Permits”) required under Environmental Laws for the Premises and Petroleum 

  

 5 








 
Equipment, and Tenant shall be responsible for all related costs, fees, and charges. Where cooperation of Landlord is necessary to obtain any such Permits,
Landlord shall provide such cooperation but shall not be compelled to become a permittee or co-permittee unless required by Environmental Laws, and all costs, fees and charges shall be reimbursed by Tenant within thirty (30) days of
presentation of Landlord’s statement of same. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all reports, studies, complaints, claims, directives, citations, demands, inquiries, notices of violation, or orders relating
to Hazardous Material at or emanating from or to the Premises, at any time, or any alleged non-compliance with Environmental Laws at the Premises, reasonably promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) days) after such documents are
provided to or generated by Tenant. To the extent Tenant is required under applicable Environmental Laws or by governmental authorities having jurisdiction to report a release of Hazardous Material at, on, under or from the Premises, Tenant also
shall promptly notify Landlord of any release of Hazardous Material at, on, under or from the Premises and promptly shall abate and remove any such releases as required by applicable Environmental Laws and government authorities having jurisdiction.
Tenant shall not be in violation of this paragraph in connection with the use, storage, transportation, dispensing or sale of petroleum products or natural gas so long as such use, storage, transportation, dispensing or sale complies with applicable
Environmental Laws and governmental authorities having jurisdiction, and the normal dispensing of petroleum products and/or kerosene and/or bottled propane gas in connection with Tenant’s customary and lawful operation of the convenience store
at the Premises shall not constitute a release. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, as between Landlord and Tenant,
all reporting, investigation and/or remediation requirements under any applicable Environmental Laws with respect to any and all releases of Hazardous Material at, on, from or near the Premises are the responsibility of Tenant, and Tenant shall be
solely responsible for all costs incurred in connection with any investigation, monitoring or any cleanup, remediation, removal, or restoration work required of Landlord or Tenant by applicable law and any federal, state, or local governmental
agency or political subdivision having jurisdiction over the Premises because of Hazardous Material present in the soil or ground water on, under or emanating from the Premises, including, without limitation, that (i) caused or permitted by
Tenant, (ii) known to Tenant prior to the Effective Date, (iii) present on the Premises as of the Effective Date and for which Landlord or Tenant becomes liable due to a change in law which makes Landlord or Tenant liable for Hazardous
Material present on the Premises as of the Effective Date and for which Landlord and Tenant are not responsible under current law as of the Effective Date, (iv) as a result of any leaking, overfilling, discharge, dumping, or spilling (whether
accidental or otherwise) on the Premises by Tenant or any subtenant of the Premises from Tenant or their agents, employees, or contractors, customers, or other invitees; provided that Tenant shall not be responsible for (A) Hazardous
Material migrating onto the Premises from off the Premises through no acts, omissions or fault of Tenant (“Off-Premise Third Party Contamination”), (B) the exacerbation of any existing Hazardous Material contamination on the Premises
by Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors or lenders, or (C) Hazardous Material brought onto the Premises by Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors, or lenders in violation of Environmental Laws (together, the
“Exclusions”). Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant agree that the cost of complying with Environmental Laws relating to Hazardous Material on the Premises for which Landlord is legally liable (except for the Exclusions) and to the extent
Tenant is responsible as provided above shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant and shall be paid by Tenant or by the applicable 

  

 6 








 
trust fund or insurance company (excluding insurance coverage maintained by Landlord), from which Tenant shall have sole responsibility to seek reimbursement
or payment. To the extent the Premises is currently contaminated, Tenant agrees to perform or cause to be performed any and all necessary remediation on the Premises to the extent required by applicable Environmental Laws and governmental
authorities having jurisdiction. Landlord shall have no right, claim or interest in or to any such expenses relating to Hazardous Material that are subsequently recovered or reimbursed through insurance (other than insurance maintained by Landlord),
or recovery from responsible third parties, or other action. Upon execution of a mutually acceptable access agreement, Tenant agrees to cooperate in permitting reasonable access to the Premises by any party who is responsible for assessment or
remediation of contamination on the Premises. 
 (d) Not sooner than the later of (i) sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of
the Term of this Lease (including the Renewal Terms, if exercised) or (ii) ten (10) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant to Landlord reminding Landlord of Landlord’s election requirement as herein set
forth, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to (i) require Tenant to remove all Petroleum Equipment located on the Premises and return and restore the Premises to its condition prior to the installation of
the Petroleum Equipment to the extent practicable, ordinary wear and tear excepted or (ii) purchase the Petroleum Equipment located on the Premises from Tenant at a price equal to the value of such Petroleum Equipment as carried on
Tenant’s books, unless Landlord’s assessment shows the Petroleum Equipment or portions thereof to be failing or to have failed (and not to have been properly corrected and repaired), in which case the Petroleum Equipment shall be removed
by Tenant as set forth below at Tenant’s expense and no purchase price shall be owed. If Landlord fails timely to provide such notice (or Landlord does not provide such notice by the expiration of the Term of this Lease notwithstanding
Tenant’s failure to notify Landlord of Landlord’s election requirement), then Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to purchase all of the Petroleum Equipment. If Tenant is required to remove the Petroleum Equipment, then Tenant shall
have sixty (60) days to do so even if such sixty (60) day period continues beyond the expiration of the Term of this Lease. If Landlord chooses to purchase the Petroleum Equipment, Landlord shall conduct, in its sole discretion and at its
expense, such assessments and testing of the Petroleum Equipment in order to establish the operating condition of the Petroleum Equipment and whether a release of Hazardous Material has occurred for which Tenant would be responsible. Landlord’s
purchase option may be assigned at Landlord’s discretion if Tenant has no continuing liability with respect to the Petroleum Equipment; if Tenant does have continuing liability with respect to the Petroleum Equipment, the assignee must be
reasonably acceptable to Tenant. In either event, prior to the expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall, to the extent required by applicable Environmental Laws or governmental authorities having jurisdiction, remove or remediate (or continue
remediation of) all Hazardous Material present at, on, under or emanating from the Premises for which remediation is ongoing or which is associated with Tenant’s operations of the Premises and provide Landlord with written evidence and
assurances that the Premises, and ongoing remediation, and the Petroleum Equipment if left on the Premises comply with applicable Environmental Laws. If Landlord demands that any Petroleum Equipment be removed by Tenant, and Tenant fails to do so,
Landlord shall be entitled to remove such Petroleum Equipment, assess whether there is any Hazardous Material contamination related to such Petroleum Equipment, remediate any such contamination to the extent required by applicable Environmental Laws
and governmental authorities having 

  

 7 








 
jurisdiction, and obtain closure from the appropriate regulatory agency, all at Tenant’s expense. In no event shall Tenant be required to remediate or
pay for a remediation of the Premises to an extent or condition beyond that required by applicable Environmental Laws and governmental authorities having jurisdiction. 
 (e) Except as limited by the next sentence, the provisions of this Section shall survive termination of the tenancy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as to subsections 5(g) and 5(h), the provisions of
this Section shall terminate upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease provided that Tenant vacates the Premises and provides Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a current environmental report in accordance with current ASTM
guidelines (“Environmental Report”), which includes soil and groundwater testing, prepared by an environmental consultant reasonably approved by Landlord, which states either (i) Hazardous Material (A) is not present on or has
not emanated from the Premises and for which the remediation or monitoring is required under applicable Environmental Laws or governmental authorities having jurisdiction; or (B) if there is Hazardous Material on the Premises requiring such
remediation or monitoring, there is in place such remediation or monitoring plans and/or equipment as may be required under applicable Environmental Laws or by governmental authorities having jurisdiction, the cost of which is fully funded by other
than Landlord and which shall be pursued to completion; and (ii) there are no pending or anticipated assessment, remediation, reporting, notification, compliance or permitting obligations applicable to the Premises under applicable
Environmental Laws or otherwise required by governmental authorities having jurisdiction and, with respect to any scheduled exceptions in the Environmental Report, the continuing actions required of Tenant to resolve any non-compliance with
applicable Environmental Laws. 
 (f) Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations and local codes in maintaining the Premises,
including, without limitation, obtaining any permits for any abatement of asbestos-containing materials and proper disposal thereof. 
 (g)
In the event this Lease expires and is not renewed, or this Lease is terminated and any further investigation, remediation or monitoring is required that is the responsibility of Tenant hereunder, Landlord and its lessees, successors and assigns:
(i) shall permit, without charge, cost, fee or assessment, Tenant and its agents and representatives reasonable access to the Premises for completing such investigation, remediation, and monitoring and (ii) shall not materially damage,
disturb or remove or otherwise unreasonably impede or interfere with such investigation, remediation or monitoring or the associated equipment, installations or facilities. Tenant shall not be liable or responsible for any disruption of business or
other liabilities, costs or expenses incurred by Landlord or its lessees, successors or assigns that may be caused by Tenant’s investigation, remediation or monitoring activities provided that Tenant has acted reasonably in conducting such
activities. Landlord shall obtain from all lessees, successors and assigns of the Premises written agreement to the provisions in this paragraph. 
 (h) Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities, liens or losses (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises as a
convenience food store selling gasoline and other petroleum products or other then current use, damages for the loss or 

  

 8 








 
restriction on use of rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the Premises, damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space of the
Premises, and sums paid in settlement of claims, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultation fees, and expert fees) (i) in connection with the environmental condition of the Premises prior to the Effective Date (notwithstanding
anything contained in this Lease to the contrary); and/or (ii) which arise during or after the Term of this Lease as a result of Tenant’s noncompliance with Environmental Laws or any Hazardous Material not addressed by the Environmental
Report, but solely with respect to Tenant’s operation of Tenant’s business in and about the Premises, Tenant having no obligation to indemnify Landlord from any of the preceding matters if caused by Landlord, its agents, employees,
contractors, lenders, or any business invitee of Landlord, nor shall Tenant be liable to indemnify Landlord from any claim, judgment, damage, penalty, fine, costs, liability, or loss attributable to such person’s negligence or intentional
misconduct. This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation or site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal, or restoration work required by any federal, state, or
local governmental agency or political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present in the soil or ground water on or under or emanating from the Premises and all costs, fines, settlements and charges resulting from any violation of law,
including Environmental Laws, by Tenant related to Tenant’s operation of Tenant’s business or the activities of any customer or invitee of Tenant. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material on the Premises
results in any contamination of the Premises, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense as are reasonably necessary to return the Premises to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any such Hazardous Material to the
Premises, but Tenant shall have no obligation to reduce the level of Hazardous Material on the Premises below the threshold for remediation required under applicable Environmental Laws or by government authorities having jurisdiction; provided that
Landlord’s approval of such actions shall first be obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and so long as such actions would not potentially have any material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the
Premises. This indemnification shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 
 (i) The term “Hazardous
Material” means any substance, material, or waste which is toxic, ignitable, reactive, or corrosive and which is or becomes regulated by local or state governmental authority or by the United States Government. The term “Hazardous

Laws and manufacturer’s requirements. 
 (j) The term “Environmental Laws” shall mean any law, statute, regulation, order, or
rule now or hereafter promulgated by any governmental entity, whether local, state, or federal, relating to air pollution, water pollution, and/or transporting, storing, handling,

time to time. 
 6. TRADE FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT. All Petroleum Equipment, furniture, trade fixtures, all signage and supporting
structures, and equipment of Tenant (including gasoline canopy and structure, equipment located within structures housing a car wash, built-in refrigeration equipment, and walk-in coolers, which refrigeration equipment and coolers are deemed to be
personal property notwithstanding their attachment to the Premises), and every other item of personal property not permanently attached to the Premises (collectively, “Tenant’s Personal Property”) are to remain and be the
property of Tenant and Tenant is to have the right and privilege of removing any and all such property and equipment at any time during the continuance of this Lease or any extension hereof. Except with respect to Petroleum Equipment, in the event
any of Tenant’s Personal Property is not removed by Tenant prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, title thereto shall automatically pass to and vest in Landlord, and Tenant shall thereafter be relieved of any and all
responsibility in connection with said equipment. If Tenant’s Personal Property is removed, Tenant promptly shall restore the Premises to their condition immediately prior to the removal of such property to the extent commercially practicable.
If Tenant’s Petroleum Equipment is removed, Tenant promptly shall restore the Premises in accordance with Section 5 of this Lease. It is further understood and agreed that the buildings and structures erected on the Premises, including
heat and air conditioning equipment, may not be removed by Tenant at the expiration or termination of this Lease. 
 7. TENANT’S
RIGHT TO ALTER AND IMPROVE. Except as provided in Sections 5 and 6 hereof, Tenant shall not make any additions, alterations, or improvements in or to the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. This prohibition shall not apply to interior or exterior remodeling or alteration which does not affect the structural integrity of buildings or which would not impair the use of the Premises as a
convenience food store, and shall not apply to Tenant’s repainting of the interior or exterior of the buildings or structures on the Premises nor to changes in Tenant’s signage or “trade dress.” Except as otherwise provided
herein, all additions, alterations, and improvements made in or to the Premises by either Landlord or Tenant shall become the property of Landlord and be surrendered with the Premises at the termination of this Lease. All alterations, additions, or
improvements (including, without limitation, interior or exterior remodeling and repainting and changes in Tenant’s signage or “trade dress” as set forth above), shall be accomplished by Tenant in a good and workmanlike manner, shall
be authorized by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Premises to the extent required by applicable law, and shall be in conformity with applicable laws and regulations. Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall provide to
Landlord “as-built” plans. Tenant shall pay when due (subject to matters contested by Tenant in good faith) all claims for such labor and materials and shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the
commencement of any such work to the extent any such work is anticipated to cost in excess of

Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) in the aggregate for the project. Landlord may enter upon the Premises, in such case, for the purpose of posting
appropriate notices, including, but not limited to, notices of non-responsibility. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that the Premises is used for any use other than a convenience food store or gas station, Tenant shall obtain
Landlord’s prior written consent and approval for any structural additions, alterations, or improvements in or to the Premises, which may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion. 
 8. USE OF PREMISES; LAWFUL PURPOSES. Tenant covenants that the Premises shall be used for a convenience food store and for the sale of gasoline
and other petroleum products or such other business as Tenant may desire (“Use”) so long as the Use is lawful and does not violate any applicable federal, state, county, or municipal ordinances and laws that are in force and does not
violate any restrictions applicable to Landlord with respect to the Premises or other property owned or leased by Landlord in the vicinity of the Premises so long as any such restrictions are disclosed by Landlord to Tenant in writing and do not
prohibit, restrict or impair Tenant’s use of the Premises for a convenience food store or gas station. In the event that the Premises is used for any use other than a convenience food store or gas station, Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s
prior written consent and approval for any structural alterations as set forth in Section 7 hereof. Tenant has satisfied itself, and represents to Landlord, that such Use is lawful and conforms to all applicable zoning and other use
restrictions and regulations applicable to the Premises. In the event of the occurrence of a violation of law, Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease if applicable law does not require Tenant to take any action to correct the alleged
violation. In the event of the occurrence of a violation of law, if applicable law requires Tenant to take certain action, Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease so long as Tenant proceeds to take all action required by applicable law and
by any federal, state, county, or municipal authority having jurisdiction, provided Tenant pursues such required action in a timely manner and in conformity with the regulations of the governmental authority having jurisdiction. 
 Tenant, at Tenant’s sole expense, promptly shall comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, covenants and
restrictions of record, and requirements in effect during the Term, regulating the use by Tenant of the Premises, including, without limitation, the obligation at Tenant’s cost, to alter, maintain, or restore the Premises in compliance and
conformity with all laws relating to the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises during the Term (including, without limitation, any and all requirements as set forth in The Americans with Disabilities Act) (collectively, “Legal
Requirements”) and regardless of (i) whether such laws require structural or non-structural improvements, (ii) whether the improvements were foreseen or unforeseen, and (iii) the period of time remaining in the Term. During
the Term, Tenant, at its expense, shall comply with all restrictive covenants or other title exceptions affecting the Premises and perform all of the obligations set forth therein, including any payment obligations, regardless of whether such
payment obligations occur during, or prior to, the Term. 
 Tenant shall have the right, after prior written notice to Landlord, to contest
by appropriate legal proceedings, diligently conducted in good faith, in the name of Tenant or Landlord or both, the validity or application of any Legal Requirement subject to the following: (i) if by the terms of any such Legal Requirement,
compliance therewith pending the prosecution 

  

 11 








 
of any such proceeding may legally be delayed without the incurrence of any lien, charge or liability of any kind against the Premises or any part thereof
and without subjecting Tenant or Landlord to any liability, civil or criminal, for failure so to comply therewith, Tenant may delay compliance therewith until the final determination of any such proceeding; (ii) if any lien, charge or civil
liability would be incurred by reason of any such delay, Tenant nevertheless may contest as aforesaid and delay as aforesaid, provided that such delay would not subject Landlord to criminal liability and Tenant (A) furnishes to Landlord
security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord as to form and amount against any loss or injury by reason of such contest or delay and (B) prosecutes the contest with due diligence; and (iii) in any case where the consent of any
Landlord’s mortgagee is required for any of the contests mentioned above, Tenant shall secure such consent prior to commencing such contest. Landlord, on written request from Tenant, shall execute and deliver any appropriate papers which may be
necessary or proper to permit Tenant so to contest the validity or application of any such Legal Requirement. Tenant covenants that Landlord shall not suffer or sustain any costs, expenses or liabilities by reason of any act or thing done or omitted
to be done pursuant to this paragraph. The provisions set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to Environmental Laws, which are governed by Section 5. 
 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant may cease business operations at the Premises (“go dark”) provided Tenant continues to pay Rent and all other monetary obligations in
this Lease, to perform the other terms and conditions of this Lease expressly including insuring the Premises, and takes all reasonable steps to protect the Premises against vandalism. 
 9. NUISANCE. Tenant agrees not to create or, subject to conditions caused by others, allow any nuisance to exist on the Premises, and to abate any
nuisance that may arise, promptly and free of expense to Landlord. This Section 9 shall not apply to releases of petroleum products, which are governed by Section 5. 
 10. TAXES. 
 (a) Tenant’s
Required Payments. Tenant shall pay before delinquency and as additional rent, all taxes, assessments (which shall include all taxes due for 2007), license fees, costs incurred pursuant to covenants and restrictions affecting the Premises, and
other charges, (collectively referred to as “Taxes”) levied or assessed against all merchandise, personal property, real property, buildings and improvements, and any other obligations which are or may become a lien or levied against
the Premises. Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence of payment of Taxes promptly upon request. If, at any time during the Term, the state in which the Premises are located or any political subdivision of the state, including any county, city,
county and city, public corporation, district, or any other political entity or public corporation of that state, levies or assesses against Landlord a tax, fee or excise on (i) rents, including, if applicable, property taxes, insurance,
maintenance, and other costs incurred by Tenant by which Landlord may benefit; (ii) on the square footage of the Premises; (iii) on the act of entering into this Lease; or (iv) on the occupancy of Tenant, or levies or assesses against
Landlord any other tax, fee, or excise, however described, including, without limitation, a so-called value added tax, as a direct substitution in whole or in part for, or in addition to, any real property taxes, Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord
or directly pay before delinquency that tax, fee, or excise. It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and 

  

 12 








 
charges, and all similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges be included within the definition of Taxes for the purpose of this Lease. If, at any
time during the Term, the laws concerning the methods of real property taxation prevailing at the commencement of the Term are changed so that a tax or excise on rents or any other tax, however described, is levied or assessed against Landlord as a
substitution in whole or in part for any real property taxes, then Taxes shall include, but not be limited to, any such assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rent payable hereunder,
including, without limitation, any gross income tax with respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use, or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or
any portion thereof. 
 (b) Payments Not Required by Tenant. Tenant shall not be required to pay any municipal, county, state, or
federal income or franchise taxes of Landlord, or any inheritance or transfer taxes of Landlord or annual reporting or other fees in connection with maintaining Landlord’s organizational existence under the laws of the State of its formation or
creation. 
 (c) Assessments. If any assessment for a capital improvement made by any public or governmental authority shall be levied
or assessed against the Premises, and the assessment is payable either in a lump sum or on an installment basis, then Tenant shall have the right to elect the basis of payment. If Tenant shall elect to pay the assessment on the installment basis,
then Tenant shall pay only those installments which shall become due and payable during the Term. 
 (d) Utility Payments. Tenant
shall promptly pay when due all charges for water, gas, electricity, and all other utilities furnished to or used upon the Premises, including all charges for installation, termination, and relocations of such services. 
 (e) Tenant’s Right to Contest Utility Charges, Contest Taxes and Seek Reduction in Assessed Valuation of the Premises. Tenant, at its cost,
shall have the right, at any time, to seek a reduction in the assessed valuation of the Premises or to contest any Taxes or utility charges that are to be paid by Tenant. If Tenant seeks a reduction or contests any Taxes or utility charges, the
failure on Tenant’s part to pay the Taxes or utility charges shall not constitute a default as long as Tenant complies with the provisions of this Section 10. Tenant may use any means allowed by statute to protest property tax assessments
or utility charges as defined in this Section 10 as long as Tenant remains current as to all other terms and conditions of this Lease. If, during the protest period, any lease defaults occur and the protested Taxes or assessments have not been
paid, then Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a surety bond issued by an insurance company qualified to do business in the state where the Premises are located. The amount of the bond shall equal one hundred ten percent (110%) of the total amount
of Taxes in dispute. The bond shall hold Landlord and the Premises harmless from any damage arising out of the proceeding or contest and shall insure the payment of any judgment that may be rendered. 
 (f) Landlord Not Required to Join in Proceedings or Contest Brought by Tenant. Landlord shall not be required to join in any proceeding or contest
brought by Tenant unless applicable law requires that the proceeding or contest be brought by or in the name of Landlord or the owner of the Premises. In that case, Landlord shall join in the proceeding or contest or permit it to be brought in
Landlord’s name as long as Landlord is not required to bear 

  

 13 








 
any cost. Tenant, on final determination of the proceeding or contest, shall immediately pay or discharge any decision or judgment rendered, together with
all costs, charges, interest, and penalties incidental to the decision or judgment. 
 11. INSURANCE. 
 (a) Tenant shall keep the buildings located upon the Premises insured against loss or damage by fire or other casualty and extended coverage, vandalism,
malicious mischief and special extended perils in an amount equal to the replacement cost of the Improvements on the Premises and all contents located on or within the Premises. The insurance required to be maintained by this
Section 11(a) shall provide that payments for losses be made jointly to Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee and Tenant; provided, however, neither Landlord, Landlord’s lender, nor any other person other than Tenant shall be entitled
to any insurance proceeds applicable to the Petroleum Equipment, Tenant’s Personal Property, inventory, or business interruption, except in the event that Landlord exercises or will exercise its option to purchase the Petroleum Equipment
pursuant to Section 5(d), whereupon Tenant shall assign or pay over to Landlord any insurance proceeds and the amount of any deductibles, applicable to the Petroleum Equipment. If the Premises are located in a one hundred year flood zone or in
an area recognized as having a risk of damage by earthquake, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, obtain and keep in force during the Term a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage due to perils caused by earthquake and/or flood.
Such insurance policies may contain commercially reasonable exclusions, retention and deductible amounts. 
 Landlord acknowledges and agrees
that as of the Effective Date, Tenant’s current program of insurance affords coverage for perils of flood for real property located in FEMA Flood Zones A and V with deductibles of five percent (5%) of the insured value subject to a cap of
$1,000,000.00 and two percent (2%) of the insured value subject to a cap of $500,000.00, respectively. Should Tenant’s insurance program in the future not afford coverage for perils of flood for real property located in the FEMA Flood Zone
A or V, then, with respect to such risk, Tenant has the right to maintain a self-insurance program with respect to risks associated with FEMA Flood Zones A and V so long as (i) the tenant under this Lease is The Pantry, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“The Pantry”), or any successor (“Successor”) to The Pantry has a creditworthiness equal to or greater than the creditworthiness of The Pantry on the date hereof, all as reasonably determined by Landlord; and
(ii) there is no material adverse change in The Pantry’s or Successor’s financial condition. In the event (a) The Pantry or Successor is no longer the tenant under this Lease; (b) there is a material adverse change in The
Pantry’s or Successor’s financial condition; or (c) flood insurance becomes available at commercially reasonable rates for the Premises, Tenant shall be required to procure and thereafter maintain a policy of flood insurance as
otherwise required hereunder promptly following receipt of written notice from Landlord. 
 (b) Tenant shall obtain and maintain business
interruption insurance for one year and worker’s compensation in statutorily required amounts. 
 (c) During the Term, or any extension
thereof, Tenant shall maintain in force a policy of insurance insuring Landlord and Tenant against liability for accidents on the Premises with limits of coverage not less than $5,000,000.00 combined single limit for property damage 

  

 14 








 
loss and bodily injury to any person arising from any one occurrence. This limit may be provided in either a primary policy of insurance or a combination of
primary and umbrella excess coverage. 
 (d) The policies of insurance that Tenant is required to obtain and maintain hereunder shall name
Landlord as an additional insured and loss payee to the extent of Landlord’s interest in this Lease and the Premises. A certificate of liability insurance and evidence of property insurance shall be delivered to Landlord evidencing
Tenant’s compliance with this Section 11. Such policy shall be in such form and with such insurance company as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord with provisions for at least thirty (30) days notice to Landlord of
cancellation. Tenant shall not cancel such policy without thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Landlord. Prior to the expiration or cancellation of any such policy, Tenant shall supply Landlord with a substitute therefor or with evidence of
payment of premiums therefor. Within thirty (30) days of any cancellation of any such policy by the carrier, Tenant shall replace such cancelled policy with another of commercially available equivalent coverage and terms at Tenant’s sole
expense. 
 (e) If Tenant shall at any time fail to maintain any insurance required hereunder, Landlord may effect or maintain such insurance
and any money expended for that purpose shall be repayable by Tenant on demand. 
 (f) Without limiting the generality of Section 39
below, Tenant further agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all claims for personal injuries, death, and property damage which occur as a result of the operation of the business in and about the Premises, or which result from any work
done in and about the Premises by Tenant or any contractors selected by or for Tenant, but excluding claims arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s contractors or agents or those with whom Landlord has
a written contractual relationship after the Effective Date, it being understood that Tenant, and not Landlord, shall be responsible for any and all claims arising or accruing prior to the Effective Date. This subsection (c) does not apply to
matters involving Hazardous Materials and/or Environmental Laws, which are the subject of Section 5 hereof. 
 (g) During such time as
no uncured event of default by Tenant is outstanding hereunder, Tenant may elect to self-insure all or any portion of the required coverage referred to in Subsection (c) above pursuant to a commercially reasonable self-insurance program. Tenant
shall not be deemed a self-insurer merely by maintaining commercially reasonable deductibles. In the event that Tenant becomes a self-insurer with respect to the insurance coverage required under Subsection (c) above, Tenant shall be required
to secure Landlord’s approval of such self-insurance. Such approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, shall be based upon Tenant’s creation of a reasonable reserve or replacement fund which is reflected on
Tenant’s audited financial statements. Except with respect to flood insurance as set forth in Subsection (a) above, Tenant may not self-insure the required coverages referred to in Subsections (a) or (b) above without first
obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable business discretion. In the event Tenant becomes a self-insurer, Tenant agrees to be responsible for the full replacement, restoration or
remediation costs of the Premises not covered by applicable insurance. 
  

 15 








 (h) Tenant shall ensure that all Contractors (as defined below) performing work on or about the
Premises have in place a commercially reasonable policy of general liability insurance, and that Landlord is named as an additional insured under such policy. In the event Landlord is to be named as an additional insured under such a policy pursuant
to the provisions hereof, Tenant shall cause a certificate of liability insurance to promptly be delivered to Landlord in connection with any such policies. As used herein, the term “Contractors” shall mean contractors or third parties who
are performing work on or about the Premises either (i) in connection with work that was approved by Landlord pursuant to Section 7, or (ii) in connection with the Petroleum Equipment. 
 12. REPLACEMENT OF IMPROVEMENTS; APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS THERETO. 
 (a) Destruction or Damage to the Premises. In the event any part or all of the Premises shall at any time during the Term be damaged or destroyed,
regardless of cause, Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord. Subject to Tenant’s receipt of proceeds available from insurance policies maintained by Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall repair and restore the Premises to substantially
their original condition, including the Petroleum Equipment and buildings and all other Improvements on the Premises, as soon as circumstances permit. Tenant shall hold Landlord free and harmless from any and all liability of any nature whatsoever
resulting from such damage or destruction, and such repairs and restoration. Tenant, and not Landlord, shall be responsible for paying for any cost of repairs and restoration in excess of the proceeds available from insurance policies procured by
Tenant. Tenant is not entitled to any rent abatement during or resulting from any disturbance relating to a partial or total destruction of the Premises. 
 (b) Destruction or Damage of the Premises During the Last Thirty-Six (36) Months of the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, provided no Event of Default has occurred, in the
event the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed in excess of thirty percent (30%) of the full replacement cost of the Premises during the last thirty-six (36) months of the Term, Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by
providing the other party written notice of its election in writing within forty-five (45) days of receipt by Landlord of notice of such casualty by Tenant. This Lease shall terminate upon the other party’s receipt of said notice;
provided, however, that within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Tenant of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease, Tenant may elect to confirm to Landlord that Tenant will not exercise its right not to extend the Term as provided in
Section 3 by providing written notice to Landlord within said fifteen (15) day period of such election not to exercise its right not to extend. If Tenant makes this election, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect during the
remainder of the Term and the next succeeding Renewal Term and Tenant shall restore the Premises as provided in Section 12. In the event of termination hereunder, Landlord shall have all rights and claims to any insurance proceeds (i) as
to the Premises, and (ii) as to the Petroleum Equipment, if Landlord exercises or will exercise its option to purchase the Petroleum Equipment pursuant to Section 5(d). Tenant covenants and agrees to timely file an appropriate claim with
its insurance carrier (in the event of an insured casualty) in connection with such damage or destruction, and if Tenant or Landlord should elect to terminate this Lease, thereafter promptly assign or pay over to Landlord the entirety of
insurance proceeds payable in connection with the loss, the amount of any deductibles, plus a sum equal to the entirety of the self-insured retention [i.e., total cost to repair and restore the Premises (including, without limitation, all hard
costs, soft costs and related costs, but excluding Tenant’s Personal Property)]. 
  

 16 








 13. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. 
 14. REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE. 
 (a)
Obligation to Maintain the Premises. During the Term, Tenant shall, at its own expense, keep and maintain the entire Premises in good order and repair, including, but not limited to, the interior, exterior, foundations, floors, walls, roof,
and structure of the building; and the sidewalks, curbs, walls, trash enclosures, landscaping with sprinkler system (if installed), light standards, and parking areas which are a part of the Premises. Tenant shall make such repairs and replacements
as may be necessary, regardless of whether the benefit of such repair or replacement extends beyond the Term. The Premises shall be returned to Landlord at the termination or expiration of this Lease in good condition, except for ordinary wear and
tear and insured casualty, provided Tenant has assigned or paid over to Landlord the entirety of the insurance proceeds payable and the amount of any deductibles in connection with such insured casualty plus a sum equal to the entirety of the
self-insured retention as set forth in Section 12(b). For as long as Tenant is not in default of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease, Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all building contractor, subcontractor, and manufacturer’s
warranties and guarantees applicable to the Premises; and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant at Tenant’s request in any action to enforce such warranties and guarantees. In the event of destruction of the Premises by fire or casualty, the
condition of the Premises upon termination of this Lease shall be governed by Section 12. 
 (b) Obligation to Keep the Premises
Clear. Tenant shall keep the Premises, including sidewalks adjacent to the Premises and loading area allocated for use of Tenant, clean and reasonably free from rubbish and debris at all times. Tenant shall store all trash and garbage within the
Premises and arrange for regular pickup and cartage of such trash and garbage at Tenant’s expense. All waste to be disposed of shall be properly characterized and, if such waste is determined to be special or hazardous waste under Environmental
Laws, Tenant shall be the generator and arranger for the transportation and disposal of any such waste and shall comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements for the management of such wastes. 
 (c) Capital Expenditure in Last Two Years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Tenant makes a capital expenditure pursuant to its repair
and maintenance obligations under this Section 14 within the last two (2) years of the Term or any renewal thereof (providing no uncured Event of Default exists under this Lease), Tenant shall receive a credit upon the expiration of this
Lease, which credit shall be calculated by: (i) dividing the remaining useful life of the capital improvement upon Lease expiration by the total useful life of the capital improvement and then (ii) multiplying the result obtained in
(i) above by the reasonable cost of the capital expenditure. “Capital expenditure” as used herein shall mean those expenditures incurred in connection with the roof, parking lot or HVAC equipment located on the Premises, the
reasonable and actual cost of which exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00). Any credit due Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the expiration of this Lease. In no event shall the
provisions of this Section 14(c) be applicable if the capital expenditure was necessitated as a result of Tenant’s failure to maintain the item or items at issue in good order and repair throughout the Term as required pursuant to the
terms of Section 14. 
  

 17 








 15. LANDLORD’S USE OF PREMISES. In the event Landlord owns real estate adjacent to the
Premises that is not necessary for the operation of a convenience food store by Tenant, Landlord reserves the right further to develop such property and lease the same to other parties; provided, however, that Landlord must first obtain approval of
such development and lease from Tenant, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. 
 16. NO
COMPETITION. So long as this Lease is in effect and Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable grace or cure period, Landlord agrees that neither it nor any “related party” will in the future construct and lease, as landlord,
another commercial parcel within a one (1) mile radius of the Premises for use primarily as a convenience store and/or for retail gasoline sales. However, nothing in this Section shall prohibit or limit Landlord’s ability to acquire or
lease competing convenience stores and/or retail gasoline stores within a one (1) mile radius of the Premises during the Term of this Lease so long as Landlord as part of such transaction does not initially construct the stores for such
tenants. As used herein, “related party” shall mean (i) any parent or sister corporation of Landlord and their subsidiaries, and (ii) any and all subsidiaries of Landlord, but shall not mean any officers, directors, or
shareholders of any of those companies. Further, as used herein, “gasoline sales” shall mean the sale of any other energy source for motor vehicles as may then be used in conjunction with or as an alternative to gasoline. 
 17. QUIET POSSESSION. It is a further condition of this Lease that Landlord has a good and marketable title to the Premises free and clear of all
liens and encumbrances; that Landlord has the right to lease the same; that the Premises have unencumbered access to public rights of way over existing curb cuts on the Premises or over unencumbered private easements; that Landlord warrants and will
defend the Premises unto Tenant against the lawful claims of all persons whomsoever; that so long as the rents are paid in the manner herein provided and the covenants, conditions, and agreements are all and singularly kept, fulfilled, and performed
by Tenant, Tenant shall lawfully, peacefully, and quietly hold, occupy, and enjoy the Premises during the Term herein granted without any let, hindrance, ejection, or molestation by Landlord or any person claiming under Landlord. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises subject to (i) all encumbrances, covenants,
conditions, restrictions, easements, rights of way, and all other matters of record affecting the Premises; and (ii) all matters known to Tenant as of the Effective Date, including, without limitation, all those certain matters disclosed by a
survey of the Premises (“Survey”). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that: (a) no representations or warranties whatsoever have been or are made, or responsibility assumed by Landlord, with respect to the Premises or their operation, or
the condition or repair of the Premises, or as to any fact, circumstance, thing or condition which may affect or relate to the Premises, except as specifically set forth in this Lease; and (b) the Premises are leased in their “AS IS, WHERE
IS, WITH ALL FAULTS” condition as of the Effective Date. 
 18. RIGHT OF ENTRY. Landlord reserves the right during the Term of
this Lease to enter the Premises at reasonable hours upon prior reasonable notice (except in the event of 

  

 18 








 
emergency, meaning imminent threat of injury to person or damage to property, in which event no prior notice shall be necessary) to show the same or
inspect the same, but has no obligation to make an inspection of the Premises. 
 19. SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT. Tenant may sublet the
Premises or assign this Lease with the prior written consent of Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. 
 Consent by Landlord to one assignment, subletting, occupation, or use by another person or party shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation, or use by another person or party except for a
re-assignment to Tenant, which shall not require Landlord’s consent. Consent to an assignment and acceptance of rent from an assignee shall not release Tenant from liability for the continued performance of the terms and conditions on the part
of Tenant to be kept and performed, unless Landlord specifically releases Tenant from said liability. 
 Any assignee or sub-tenant, by an
instrument in writing in recordable form, shall assume and agree to keep, observe, and perform all of the agreements, conditions, covenants, and terms of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed, and performed. This shall include a
leasehold mortgagee in the event a leasehold mortgagee or its Nominee (as hereinafter defined) comes into possession of the Premises. “Nominee” means an entity designated by a leasehold mortgagee to become the tenant under this Lease
in place of Tenant as a result of the exercise by a leasehold mortgagee of its rights and remedies under any leasehold mortgage or under this Lease pursuant to the terms of this Lease. 
 Notwithstanding anything hereinabove contained to the contrary, provided there is no uncured Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) under this
Lease, Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent, (a) assign, transfer, or sublet its leasehold interest to a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other entity more than fifty percent (50%) of the ownership of which is
owned by Tenant, or to a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other entity which owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the ownership interest in Tenant, (b) assign its interest in this Lease as collateral in connection
with financing of equipment, fixtures, appliances, machinery, or furnishings to be used in connection with its business on the Premises, (c) assign or mortgage this Lease or interest therein as collateral in connection with any of Tenant’s
financing or refinancing, or (d) assign its leasehold interest or sublet the Premises in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant. Moreover, the sale, pledge, or other transfer or conveyance of Tenant’s
capital stock shall not be construed as an assignment by Tenant of its interest in this Lease. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, and shall provide a true and correct copy of the sublease or
assignment and assumption agreement, together with such other documentation supporting or evidencing said event as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. 
 Landlord may at any time during the Term hereof assign its interest in this Lease without the consent of Tenant. Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant in writing of the identity and address of the assignee and
Landlord shall cause the assignee to notify Tenant in writing of the address for payment of rent. 
  

 19 








 Landlord shall execute and deliver to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s
request, an estoppel certificate or other statement to be furnished to any prospective assignee, sublessee, or lender of Tenant. Such estoppel certificate or statement shall acknowledge and certify each of the following matters, to the extent each
may be true: (a) whether there have been any amendments, modifications, or supplements of any kind to the Lease; (b) that this Lease is in full force and effect; (c) that Tenant is not in violation of or in default under this Lease
beyond any applicable grace or cure period and that Landlord has no claims against Tenant thereunder; (d) the commencement and expiration dates (including all renewals and extensions) of the Term of this Lease; (e) the date through
which Rent has been paid; (f) that Landlord consents to such assignment or subletting; and (g) such other matters as Tenant or its assignee, sublessee, or mortgagee may reasonably request. 
 20. SURRENDER UPON TERMINATION OF LEASE. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 hereof, Tenant shall, on the expiration or the sooner
termination of the Term of this Lease, surrender to Landlord the Premises, including all buildings, replacements, changes, additions, and Improvements constructed or placed by Tenant thereon, except for all moveable trade fixtures, equipment, and
personal property belonging to Tenant, broom-clean, free of subtenancies, and in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and insured casualty excepted. Any equipment, trade fixtures, or personal property belonging to Tenant or any
sub-tenant, if not removed upon such expiration or termination, shall automatically become the property of Landlord without any payment or offset therefor and Tenant shall thereafter be relieved of any and all responsibility in connection with said
equipment. If said equipment is removed, Tenant promptly shall restore the Premises to their condition immediately prior to the removal of such property to the extent commercially practicable. 
 At or prior to expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove any exterior signage
or architectural design which is a trademark, logo, or identifying feature of “The Pantry,” “Kangaroo,” “Golden Gallon” or any other trademark, logo, or identifying feature owned by Tenant or any of its affiliates or
subsidiaries. If said signage or architectural designs are removed, Tenant, at its own expense, promptly shall repair and restore the Premises to its condition immediately prior to the removal of such signage or architectural designs to the extent
commercially practicable. 
 21. DEFAULT. 
 (a) Event of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events (each an “Event of Default” after expiration of any applicable cure period) shall constitute a default by Tenant: 

(i) Failure by Tenant to pay rent when due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision in this Lease to the contrary, for
not more than two (2) occasions during any calendar year of the Term, if any rental is not received when due, Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, and Tenant shall have five (5) days from the date of receipt of Landlord’s notice
to cure any such failure to pay rental. If such rental is not received by Landlord within the five (5) day period after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice, then Tenant shall be in default. 
  

 20 








 (ii) Failure by Tenant to perform or comply with any provision of this Lease (other than
as set forth above) if failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from Landlord to Tenant describing such failure. If, however, the failure cannot reasonably be cured within such cure period, Tenant shall not be
in default of this Lease if Tenant commences to cure the failure within such cure period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the failure. In addition, if the only mechanism by which a failure could be cured would be the filing of a
claim under Landlord’s policy of title insurance, then Landlord and Tenant shall work in concert in the filing of such a claim, and Tenant shall not be in default of this Lease if such a claim is actually filed and ultimately paid or otherwise
settled by the insurer (to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord) and Landlord is thus made whole. 
 (iii) To the
extent permitted by applicable law, a general assignment by Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease for the benefit of creditors, or the filing by or against Tenant or any guarantor of any proceeding under any insolvency or bankruptcy law, unless in
the case of a proceeding filed against Tenant or any guarantor the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any guarantor,
unless possession is restored to Tenant or such guarantor within thirty (30) days, or any execution or other judicially authorized seizure of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located upon the Premises or of Tenant’s
interest in this Lease, unless such seizure is discharged within thirty (30) days. 
 (b) Landlord’s Remedies. Landlord
shall have any one or more of the following remedies after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant. These remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law, in equity, or otherwise.

 (i) Terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to Tenant, in which event Tenant immediately shall
surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to so surrender the Premises, then Landlord, without prejudice to any other remedy it has for possession of the Premises or arrearages in rent or other damages, may re-enter and take possession of
the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person or entity occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for any damages unless caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its employees,
agents, representatives, or contractors. 
 (ii) No act by Landlord other than giving notice of termination to Tenant shall
terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of this Lease. On
termination of the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant: 
 A. The worth at the time of the award of
the unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of termination of this Lease; and 
  

 21 








 B. The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent that would
have been earned after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the fair market rental value of the Premises; and 
 C. The worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term (excluding future Renewal Terms) after the time of award exceeds the fair market rental value of the
Premises; and 
 D. Any other amount, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred at
customary hourly rates and court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all damages proximately caused by Tenant’s default. 
 The
phrase “worth at the time of the award” as used in clauses (A) and (B) above is to be computed by allowing interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, but not to exceed the then legal rate of interest. The same
phrase as used in clause (C) above is to be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond at the time of the award, plus one percent (1%). 
 (iii) Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease and without being liable for any damages
other than those caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents, representatives, lenders, or contractors. Landlord may relet the Premises, or any part of them, to third parties, and shall exercise
reasonable diligence in mitigating any damages caused by Tenant’s default. Landlord may relet the Premises on whatever terms and conditions Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, deems advisable. Reletting can be for a period shorter or longer
than the remaining Term of this Lease. Landlord’s action under this subsection is not considered an acceptance of Tenant’s surrender of the Premises unless Landlord so notified Tenant in writing. Tenant shall be immediately liable to
Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including brokers’ commissions, expenses of remodeling the Premises required by the reletting, and like costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the rent due under this Lease on the
dates the rent is due, less the rent Landlord receives from any reletting. If Landlord elects to relet the Premises without terminating this Lease, any rent received will be applied to the account of Tenant, not to exceed Tenant’s total
indebtedness to Landlord; no reletting by Landlord is considered to be for its own account unless Landlord has notified Tenant in writing that this Lease has been terminated. If Landlord elects to relet the Premises, rent that Landlord receives from
reletting will be applied to the payment of: (i) first, any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than rent due from Tenant; (ii) second, all costs, including 

  

 22 








 
maintenance, incurred by Landlord in reletting; and (iii) third, rent due and unpaid under this Lease. After deducting the payments referred to in this
Subsection, any sum remaining from the rent Landlord receives from reletting will be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as rent becomes due under this Lease. If, on the date rent is due under this Lease, the rent received from
the reletting is less than the rent due on that date, Tenant will pay to Landlord, in addition to the remaining rent due, all costs, including maintenance, Landlord incurred in reletting which remain after applying the rent received from the
reletting. Tenant shall have no right to or interest in the rent or other consideration received by Landlord from reletting to the extent it exceeds Tenant’s total indebtedness to Landlord. 
 (iv) Re-enter the Premises without terminating this Lease and without being liable for any damages, unless caused by the gross negligence
or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents, representatives, lenders, or contractors, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease. The expenses incurred by Landlord in affecting compliance with
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease immediately shall become due and payable to Landlord as additional rent. 
 In all events, Tenant
is liable for all damages of whatever kind or nature, direct or indirect, suffered by Landlord as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default but excluding consequential damages. If Tenant fails to pay Landlord in a prompt manner for the
damages suffered, Landlord may pursue a monetary recovery from Tenant. Included among these damages are all expenses incurred by Landlord in repossessing the Premises (including, but not limited to, increased insurance premiums resulting from
Tenant’s vacancy), all expenses incurred by Landlord in reletting the Premises (including, but not limited to, those incurred for advertisements, brokerage fees, repairs, remodeling, and replacements), all concessions granted to a new tenant on
a reletting, all losses incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s default (including, but not limited to, any unamortized commissions paid in connection with this Lease), a reasonable allowance for Landlord’s administrative costs
attributable to Tenant’s default, and all reasonable attorneys’ fees at customary hourly rates actually incurred by Landlord in enforcing any of Landlord’s rights or remedies against Tenant. 
 Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies does not constitute an irrevocable election of remedies nor preclude pursuit of any other remedy provided
elsewhere in this Lease or by applicable law, and none is exclusive of another unless so provided in this Lease or by applicable law. Likewise, forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies available to it on an Event of Default
does not constitute a waiver of that default or of the right to exercise that remedy later or of any rent, damages, or other amounts due to Landlord hereunder. 
 Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord shall have all rights and remedies at law or in equity,
including, but not limited to, the right to re-enter the Premises and, to the maximum extent provided by law, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all 

  

 23 








 
subleases, licenses, concessions, or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or, in Landlord’s
sole discretion, may succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions, or arrangements in the licenses, concessions, or arrangements. In the event of Landlord’s election to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such
subleases, licenses, concessions, or arrangements, Tenant shall have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election. 
 (c) Late Charge. If Tenant fails to pay within five (5) days when due any payment of rent or other charges which Tenant is obligated to pay
to Landlord under this Lease, there shall be a late charge of Seventy-Five Dollars ($75.00). Landlord and Tenant agree that this sum is reasonable to compensate Landlord for accounting and administrative expenses incurred by Landlord. In addition to
the late charge, any and all rent or other charges which Tenant is obligated to pay to Landlord under this Lease which are unpaid shall bear interest at the rate set forth below from the date said payment was due until paid, said interest to be
payable by Tenant as additional rent upon receipt by Tenant of a written demand therefor from Landlord. Landlord and Tenant agree that this sum is reasonable to compensate Landlord for the loss of the use of funds. 
 (d) Right of Landlord to Re-Enter. In the event of any termination of this Lease, Landlord shall have the immediate right to enter upon and
repossess the Premises, and any personal property of Tenant may be removed from the Premises and stored in any public warehouse at the risk and expense of Tenant. 
 (e) Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Term of this Lease shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord or a surrender of the
Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in a writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination
of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord and, notwithstanding such delivery, Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been terminated
properly. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all
subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises. Nothing in this provision shall be construed to automatically extend the Term beyond the current term or option of this Lease. 
 (f) Interest Charges. Any amount not paid by one party to the other within ten (10) days of when due to the other party will bear interest
from the date due at the lesser of (i) the prime commercial rate being charged by Bank of America, N.A. in effect on the date due plus two percent (2%) per annum; or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law. If Bank of America, N.A. is
no longer in existence, then another comparable bank or financial institution shall be substituted by Landlord, and Landlord shall send notice of such substitution to Tenant. 
 (g) Tenant’s Default. If Tenant is in default under this Lease, then: 
 (i) For so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, if Tenant obtains Landlord’s
consent, Tenant will have the right to assign or sublet its interest in this Lease, but Tenant will not be released from liability; 
  

 24 








 (ii) No structural changes to the Improvements at any cost shall be permitted without the
prior written approval of Landlord; and 
 (iii) All costs to remove Tenant’s names, logos, signs, or other
identification on the Premises shall be paid by Tenant whether or not Landlord terminated this Lease. 
 (h) Default by Landlord.
Landlord shall be in default if Landlord fails to perform any provision of this Lease required of it and the failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of notice from Tenant describing such failure. If, however,
the failure cannot reasonably be cured within the cure period, Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease if Landlord commences to cure the failure within the cure period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the failure. Notices
given under this Section shall specify the alleged breach and the applicable Lease provisions. If Landlord shall at any time be in default beyond the applicable notice and cure period, Tenant shall have the right to cure such default on
Landlord’s behalf. Any sums expended by Tenant in doing so, and all reasonably necessary incidental costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred at customary hourly rates,
shall be payable by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days following demand therefor by Tenant, and if Landlord shall not have paid such sums to Tenant within ninety (90) days after demand therefor, Tenant shall be entitled to deduct
or offset such sums against any rent otherwise payable to Landlord under this Lease. 
 22. CONDEMNATION. 
 (a) Condemnation Damages. In the event of the taking or conveyance of the whole or any part of the Premises by reason of condemnation
(“Condemnation”) by any public authority (including condemnation proceedings or conveyances or dedications made in settlement of or in lieu of condemnation proceedings), Landlord shall be entitled to the entirety of the damages award
(“Award”) payable in connection with any Condemnation, provided, however, Landlord shall not make a claim for any of the following: 
 (i) A sum attributable to Tenant’s leasehold improvements or alterations made to the Premises by Tenant in accordance with this Lease, which improvements or alterations Tenant has the right to remove from the
Premises upon the termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, but elects not to remove; 
 (ii) Any
portion of the Award attributable to Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, and equipment installed in the Premises in accordance with this Lease which are to remain in the Premises as a result of such taking; 
  

 25 








 (iii) Any portion of the Award attributable to: (A) removing Tenant’s
furniture, fixtures, equipment and inventory; and (B) moving and relocation expenses; and 
 (iv) Any portion of the
Award attributable to a temporary construction easement or temporary right of way, i.e., an easement or right of way that will expire pursuant to its terms upon completion of the Condemnation project. 
 (b) Net Award; Restoration; Rent Reduction. Landlord and Tenant shall work in good faith to jointly pursue all damages available in connection
with the Condemnation except as specifically set forth in subsection (a) above (collectively, “Tenant’s Damages”). As used herein, the term “Net Award” shall mean the entire award payable in connection with a
Condemnation, less (i) that portion of the Award attributable to Tenant’s Damages; (ii) the actual and reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in pursuing and collecting the Award, such as expert witness fees, appraisals, attorneys
fees, surveys, or engineering studies such as traffic studies; and (iii) that portion of the Award to be paid over to Tenant in connection with Condemnation Restoration (as defined below) of the Premises. Tenant shall commence and
diligently pursue completion of restoration of the Premises as the result of a Condemnation (“Condemnation Restoration”) as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to the Condemnation. Landlord shall
pay over to Tenant an amount from the Award equal to the actual and reasonable costs of the Condemnation Restoration of the Premises within ten (10) business days of receipt of evidence of completion of same from Tenant. The entirety of the Net
Award shall be retained by Landlord; provided, however, effective on the date when Landlord receives the Award from the condemning authority, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease setting forth that the annual rent due
under this Lease from and after such date shall be equitably reduced by an amount equal to the Net Award multiplied by eight percent (8%). 
 (c) Termination of Lease Due to Condemnation. In the event that the Condemnation materially adversely affects the Use, Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving Landlord sixty (60) days’ written notice of its intention to
terminate the Lease after receiving notice of the Condemnation from the condemning authority. The effective date of the termination shall be the earlier of the actual date of such taking or Tenant’s removal from the Premises. In the event
Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease as set forth herein: (i) notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant independently shall seek damages before the condemning body, and each party shall be
entitled to the amount awarded respectively to each; provided, however, Landlord shall not make a claim in such proceedings in connection with Tenant’s Damages; and (ii) the rent for the last month of Tenant’s occupancy shall be
prorated and Landlord shall refund to Tenant any rent paid in advance and Tenant shall thereupon be released from its obligation to pay rent. 
 23. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. If Landlord, at any time during the Term of this Lease or any Renewal Term hereof, receives any bona fide offer from a third party to purchase the Premises, and any such offer is acceptable to Landlord,
Landlord agrees to notify Tenant in writing, giving the name and address of the offeror and the price, terms, and conditions of such offer, and Tenant shall have thirty (30) business days from and after the receipt of such notice from Landlord
in which to elect to purchase the Premises on the terms and conditions contained 

  

 26 








 
in said bona fide offer. If Tenant does not elect to purchase, and Landlord sells the Premises to the third party making such offer, then the purchaser shall
take the Premises subject to and burdened with all the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Lease, and the rights of Tenant under this Lease (including, without limitation, this right of first refusal) as against the new owner shall not be
lessened or diminished by reason of the change of ownership. If Tenant purchases the Premises, then contemporaneously with the conveyance of the property to Tenant this Lease shall, at Tenant’s option, terminate, without further notice; Tenant
shall thereupon be released and discharged from all future rentals and other obligations on the part of Tenant to be paid, kept, and performed; and the parties thereafter shall be released from all liabilities and obligations under this Lease with
respect to the Premises, with the exception of those obligations that survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 
 24.
LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES. 
 (a) Tenant shall have the right to enter into any recordable leasehold mortgage to the extent the same is
solely limited to the leasehold interest of Tenant and does not increase the rights of the leasehold mortgagee beyond the leasehold interest of Tenant in the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein: (i) it
is expressly understood that Landlord’s consent to the execution and recordation of a leasehold mortgage by Tenant does not constitute approval by Landlord of any of the provisions of the leasehold mortgage; and (ii) if there is a conflict
between the leasehold mortgage and this Lease, the terms of this Lease shall control. 
 (b) If Tenant, or Tenant’s successors or
assignees, mortgages or grants to a leasehold mortgagee or lender a security interest in Tenant’s interest in this Lease and the Premises, and if the leasehold mortgagee or lender sends to Landlord a true copy of the leasehold mortgage or
security agreement executed in connection therewith together with a written notice specifying such mortgagee’s or lender’s name and address, so long as such leasehold mortgage or security agreement shall remain unsatisfied of record or
until written notice of satisfaction is given by the holder to Landlord, the following provisions shall apply: 
 (i) There
shall be no cancellation, surrender, acceptance or surrender, amendment, or modification of this Lease by joint action of Landlord and Tenant, or by Tenant alone, without in each case, written notice to the holder. Nor shall any merger result from
the acquisition by, or devolution upon, any one entity of the fee and the leasehold estates of the Premises. 
 (ii) Landlord
shall, upon serving Tenant with any notice or other communication, whether of default or any other matter, simultaneously serve a copy of such notice upon the holder. However, Landlord’s failure to deliver such notice to the holder shall not
constitute a default or breach by Landlord under this Lease. Nevertheless, Landlord may not undertake any action to enforce any of its rights under this Lease and in connection with the notice given to Tenant unless and until a copy of the same is
served upon the holder. 
 (iii) In the event of any default by Tenant under this Lease, the holder shall have, after service
of notice of such default upon the holder, the same period 

  

 27 








 
to remedy or cause to be remedied the default complained of as Tenant has under this Lease, and Landlord shall accept such performance by or at the
instigation of the holder as if the same had been rendered by Tenant. Each notice of default given by Landlord shall state the amounts of rent and whatever other payments are being claimed to be in default. 
 (iv) Landlord agrees that (y) the holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remedy any default by Tenant under this
Lease by performing any applicable term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Lease, and (z) Landlord shall accept such performance by the holder with the same force and effect as if furnished by Tenant, subject to and in accordance with
the provisions of this Lease. 
 (v) Not more than twice during any calendar year, Landlord, within ten business
(10) days after a request in writing by Tenant or the holder, shall furnish a written statement, duly acknowledged, that this Lease is in full force and effect and that there are no defaults thereunder by Tenant, or if there are any defaults,
such statement shall specify the defaults Landlord claims to exist, and that this Lease has not been modified or changed, or if there have been such modifications or changes, Landlord shall provide a complete copy thereof to the holder. 

(vi) Landlord hereby consents to: (w) holder’s foreclosure of a leasehold mortgage, (x) any sale of Tenant’s
interest in this Lease and the Premises in connection with a foreclosure, whether by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any power of sale contained in the leasehold mortgage, (y) any conveyance of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and the
Premises from Tenant to the holder, or its nominee or designee (“Nominee”), by virtue of or in lieu of foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings, and (z) if holder, or its Nominee, becomes the holder of Tenant’s interest in
this Lease and the Premises, the conveyance of such interest by holder, or its Nominee, to: (A) another creditworthy convenience store operator or other creditworthy operator of the Use that meets Landlord’s approval, which approval shall
not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or denied, and will be based upon Landlord’s customary review and evaluation of the prospective tenant, or (B) any other conveyance in accordance with the terms of the assignment provisions of the
then lease (which shall be the same as those contained in this Lease, except that all obligations and liabilities of the holder, or its Nominee, under such lease shall cease and terminate upon such assignment). 
 (c) Anything herein contained notwithstanding, while such leasehold mortgage remains unsatisfied of record, or until written notice of satisfaction is
given by the holder to Landlord, if any default shall occur which, pursuant to any provision of this Lease, entitles Landlord to terminate this Lease, and if before the expiration of ten (10) days after the date of service of notice of
termination upon such leasehold mortgagee, such leasehold mortgagee shall have notified Landlord 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, and shall
have 

  

 28 








 
complied or shall commence the work of complying with all of the other requirements of this Lease, if any are then in default, and shall prosecute the same
to completion with reasonable diligence, then in such event Landlord shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease and any notice of termination theretofore given shall be void and of no effect. 
 (d) The proceeds from any insurance policies or arising from a condemnation of Tenant’s interest in the Premises are to be held by any leasehold
mortgagee and distributed pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, but the leasehold mortgagee may reserve rights to apply to the mortgage debt all, or any part, of Tenant’s share of such proceeds pursuant to such mortgage. 
 (e) The leasehold mortgagee shall be given notice of any arbitration proceedings by the parties hereto, and shall have the right to intervene therein and
be made party to such proceedings, and the parties hereto do hereby consent to such intervention. In the event that the leasehold mortgagee shall not elect to intervene or become party to such proceedings, the leasehold mortgagee shall receive
notice of, and a copy of, any award or decision made in said arbitration proceedings. 
 (f) The term “mortgage,” whenever used
herein, shall include whatever security instruments are used in the locale of the Premises, such as, without limitation, deeds to secure debt, deeds of trust, and conditional deeds, as well as financing statements, security agreements, and other
documentation required pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code. The term “mortgage”, whenever used herein, shall also include any instrument required in connection with a sale-leaseback transaction. 
 25. SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT, AND ESTOPPEL. 
 (a) Subject to and conditioned upon the full satisfaction of all other provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, the requirements of Sections 11 and 12 hereof, and further subject to the provisions of this Section 25,
this Lease and the leasehold estate created hereby shall be, at the option and upon written declaration of Landlord, subject, subordinate, and inferior to the lien and estate of any mortgages and all renewals, extensions, or replacements thereof,
now or hereafter imposed by Landlord upon the Premises; provided, however, that this Lease shall not be subordinate to any mortgage or any renewal, extension, or replacement thereof, unless and until Landlord provides Tenant with an agreement (the
“Non-Disturbance Agreement”), signed and acknowledged by each holder of any such mortgage setting forth that so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Landlord’s and Tenant’s rights and obligations hereunder shall remain in
force and Tenant’s right to possession shall be upheld. Tenant shall, promptly following a request by Landlord and after receipt of the Non-Disturbance Agreement, execute and acknowledge any subordination agreement or other documents reasonably
required to establish of record the priority of any such encumbrance over this Lease, so long as such agreement does not otherwise increase Tenant’s obligations or diminish Tenant’s rights hereunder. 
 (b) In the event of foreclosure of any mortgage, whether superior or subordinate to this Lease, then (i) this Lease shall continue in force;
(ii) Tenant’s quiet possession shall not be disturbed so long as no Event of Default has occurred; (iii) Tenant shall attorn to and 

  

 29 








 
recognize the mortgagee or purchaser at foreclosure sale (the “Successor Landlord”) as Tenant’s landlord for the remaining Term of this
Lease; and (iv) the Successor Landlord shall not be bound by (a) any payment of rent for more than one (1) month in advance; (b) any ending of this Lease or any amendment or modification of this Lease without the Successor
Landlord’s consent after the Successor Landlord’s name is given to Tenant, unless the amendment, modification, or ending is specifically authorized by the original Lease and does not require Landlord’s prior agreement or consent; and
(c) any liability for any act or omission of a prior landlord, including Landlord. At the request of the Successor Landlord, Tenant shall execute a new lease for the Premises, setting forth all of the provisions of this Lease except that the
term of the new lease shall be for the balance of the Term of this Lease. 
 (c) Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, within thirty
(30) days after receipt of Landlord’s request, any estoppel certificate or other statement to be furnished to any prospective purchaser of or any lender against the Premises. Such estoppel certificate shall acknowledge and certify each of
the following matters, to the extent each may be true: (i) that this Lease is in effect and not subject to any rental offsets, claims, or defenses to its enforcement; (ii) the commencement and termination dates of the Term; (iii) that
Tenant is paying rent on a current basis; (iv) that this Lease constitutes the entire agreement between Tenant and Landlord relating to the Premises; (v) that Tenant has accepted the Premises and is in possession thereof; (vi) that
this Lease has not been modified, altered, or amended except in specified respects by specified instruments; (vii) that Tenant has no notice of any prior assignment, hypothecation, or pledge of rents or this Lease; and (viii) that neither
Tenant nor, to the knowledge of Tenant, Landlord is in default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure or grace period. Tenant shall also, upon request of Landlord, certify and agree for the benefit of any lender against the Premises
(“Lender”) that Tenant will not look to such Lender: (a) as being liable for any act or omission of Landlord; (b) as being obligated to cure any defaults of Landlord under this Lease which occurred prior to the time Lender,
its successor or assigns, acquired Landlord’s interest in the Premises by foreclosure or otherwise; (c) as being bound by any payment of rent or additional rent by Tenant to Landlord for more than one (1) month in advance; or
(d) as being bound by Landlord to any amendment or modification of this Lease without Lender’s written consent. 
 26.
APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS BY LANDLORD’S MORTGAGEE. 
 (a) In the event that Landlord mortgages its title to or interest in
the Premises, then Landlord may request that the name of Landlord’s mortgagee be added in addition to Landlord’s name to any and all policies of insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder. 
 (b) As a condition precedent to Tenant’s obligations under Sections 12 and 25 hereof, Landlord shall cause Landlord’s mortgagee to endorse,
transfer, and otherwise make over to Tenant the check or negotiable instrument representing the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Landlord’s mortgagee for the purposes specified in Section 12 hereof, and shall further cause
Landlord’s mortgage or collateral document to provide for such endorsement or transfer in a manner not inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord’s mortgagee may reserve the right to apply to the
mortgage debt any part of such insurance proceeds after all of Tenant’s costs and expenses of Restoration have been paid. 
  

 30 








 27. TENANT’S RIGHT OF SUBSTITUTION. At
any time following the beginning of the fifth (5th) Lease Year, then providing there are no material uncured
Events of Default existing under this Lease, Tenant may request that Landlord substitute for the Premises a property (“substitute property”) that is substantially similar to and of equal or greater Value (as defined below) to the
Premises. In the event the Value of the Substitute Property exceeds the Value of the Premises, Landlord shall have no obligation to fund any monies or pay any consideration in connection with such increased Value. 
 The term “Value” for purposes of effecting a substitution under this Section shall mean the fair market value of the Premises and the
Substitute Property as determined by so-called “full, three method” appraisals (“Appraisals”) prepared by an independent appraiser who is a member in good standing as an MAI professional appraiser and who is reasonably
acceptable to Landlord. 
 In the event Tenant wishes to substitute a property for the Premises, Tenant shall so notify Landlord in writing.
The notice shall identify the Substitute Property, and shall include information concerning the Metropolitan Statistical Area, demographic makeup, traffic counts, nature and quality of the neighboring properties, age and condition of improvements,
useable land area, parking area and lot configuration. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, Landlord shall either consent to, or, in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, reject such substitution, for any reason,
including, but not limited to, an adverse impact or effect on Landlord’s tax status, or disapproval by Landlord’s mortgagee. If Landlord rejects the substitution, Landlord shall specify in writing to Tenant the reasons therefor. If
Landlord consents to the substitution, the parties shall cooperate with one another to effect a closing (the “Closing”) of the Substitute Property as soon as practicable. 
 Landlord shall have a reasonable time within which to conduct its investigation of the Substitute Property. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, timely shall provide Landlord with all documents and information reasonably requested by Landlord in connection with its investigation of the Substitute Property, including, without limitation, aerial photograph, title commitment and
exception documents, as-built survey to Landlord’s guidelines, and environmental reports (“Third Party Reports”). Landlord shall have no obligation to take title to the Substitute Property if Landlord reasonably disapproves any of the
material reports or documents it requests or receives in connection with its investigation of the Substitute Property. 
  

 31 








 At the Closing: 
 (i) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a special or limited warranty deed in the form customarily used in connection with commercial real
property transactions in the state in which the Premises is situated conveying to Tenant title to the Premises, which shall be subject only to: (i) matters of record; (ii) such additional matters as specifically consented to by Tenant; and
(iii) anything of record or not of record that in any way affects title to the Premises resulting from the acts or omissions of Tenant and matters that would be shown by a then current inspection or survey of the Premises. Landlord shall
execute and deliver such documents as shall be required to deliver good and marketable title to the Premises (subject to the foregoing matters) to Tenant in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the title company, including, without
limitation, a Memorandum of Termination of Lease in connection with the Premises; 
 (ii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a
special or limited warranty deed in the form customarily used in connection with commercial real property transactions in the state in which the Substitute Property is situated conveying to Landlord title to the Substitute Property, and Tenant shall
execute and deliver such documents as shall be required to deliver good and marketable title to the Substitute Property to Landlord in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the title company; 
 (iii) This Lease shall be amended to delete Exhibit A (i.e., the legal description of the Premises) and replace it with the legal
description of the Substitute Property, and the parties thereafter shall be released from all liabilities and obligations under this Lease with respect to the Premises, with the exception of those obligations that survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. Rent, and any adjustments thereto, payable by Tenant under this Lease, shall continue uninterrupted and unaltered by the substitution; 
 (iv) Landlord and Tenant shall execute a Memorandum of Termination of Lease, in recordable form, in connection with the Premises. Landlord
and Tenant shall execute a Memorandum of Lease, in recordable form, in connection with the Substitute Property. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall cause the Memorandum of Termination of Lease and Memorandum of Lease to be recorded in the
respective counties in which the properties are located. The parties shall cooperate with one another, fully and in a timely manner, in performing all further acts, and executing and delivering all further documents or instruments that may be
reasonably necessary or required to accomplish the purposes of this Section; and 
 (v) All costs, fees and expenses incurred
in connection with Tenant’s exercise of this right of substitution (including, without limitation, the Appraisals, Third Party Reports, ALTA extended coverage policy of title insurance with reasonably requested endorsements, deed transfer
taxes, title and escrow fees and charges) shall be borne by Tenant, it being the intention of the parties that Landlord shall take title to the Substitute Property and deliver title to the Premises absolutely net of all costs, fees and expenses
whatsoever. 
  

 32 








 Tenant acknowledges and agrees the Premises shall be conveyed by Landlord to Tenant “AS IS, WHERE
IS, WITH ALL FAULTS,” in such condition as the same may be on the Closing, without any representations or warranties by Landlord except those specifically addressed above. 
 28. NOTICES. Any notice or communication to be given under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (i) when
delivered, if delivered by hand, (ii) three (3) days after being deposited in the United States Post Office, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, if mailed, or (iii) on the day after deposit with any nationally
or regionally recognized overnight courier service which requires proof of delivery. Notices shall be addressed as follows:

 29. BINDING EFFECT. The provisions of this Lease shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto, their legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns and sublessees. 
 30. WHOLE AGREEMENT. This Lease
contains all of the agreements and representations between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. None of the terms of this Lease shall be waived or modified to any extent, except by written instrument signed and delivered by both
parties. 
 31. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Lease shall be declared invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect. 
 32. DUPLICATE COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, each
of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 33. RECORDING OF LEASE. This Lease
shall not be recorded. At the request of either party and at Tenant’s expense, the parties hereto shall execute a Memorandum of Lease, in recordable form, specifying the commencement and termination dates, a description of the Premises, and any
other provisions which either party may desire to incorporate therein. 
 34. GOVERNING LAW. This Lease shall be governed by, and
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. 
 35. RELATIONSHIP OF THE
PARTIES. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating a relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood
and agreed that neither the method of computation of rent nor any other provision contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto are other than the relationship of landlord and tenant. Whenever herein the singular number is used the same shall
include the plural, and the masculine gender shall include the female and neuter genders. The numerical headings or titles to the paragraphs are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part
hereof. 
 36. AUTHORITY. The individuals signing this Lease personally warrant that they have the right and power to enter into this
Lease on behalf of Landlord and Tenant, to grant the rights granted under this Lease, and to undertake the obligations undertaken in this Lease. 
 37. INTERPRETATION PRESUMPTION. This Lease has been negotiated by the parties hereto and by the respective attorneys for each party. The parties represent and warrant to one another that each has, by counsel or otherwise, actively
participated in the negotiation and preparation of this Lease for execution. In the event of a dispute concerning the interpretation of this Lease, each party waives the doctrine that an ambiguity should be interpreted against a party who drafted
the document.

 38. TENANT SHALL NOT RENDER PREMISES LIABLE FOR
ANY LIEN. Tenant shall have no right, authority, or power to bind Landlord, or any interest of Landlord in the Premises, nor to render the Premises liable for any lien or right of lien for the payment of any claim for labor, material, or for any
charge or expense incurred to maintain, to repair, or to make alterations, additions, and improvements to the Premises. Tenant shall in no way be considered the agent of Landlord in the construction, erection, modification, repair, or alteration of
the Premises. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall have the right to contest the legality or validity of any lien or claim filed against the Premises. No contest shall be carried on or maintained by Tenant after the time limits in the sale notice
of the Premises for any such lien or claim unless Tenant (i) shall have duly paid the amount involved under protest; (ii) shall have procured and recorded a lien release bond from a bonding company acceptable to Landlord in an amount not
less than one and one-half (1 1/2) times the amount involved; or (iii) shall have procured a stay of
all proceedings to enforce collection. Upon a final adverse determination of any contest, Tenant shall pay and discharge the amount of the lien or claim determined to be due, together with any penalties, fines, interest, cost, and expense which may
have accrued, and shall provide proof of payment to Landlord. 
 39. INDEMNIFICATION. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and
protect Landlord, and hold Landlord harmless from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense, liability (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred at customary hourly rates) incurred in
connection with or arising at any time and from any cause whatsoever in or about the Premises, including, without limitation, claims pertaining to Tenant’s business operations at the Premises, including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing: (i) any default by Tenant in the observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed; (ii) the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any
person claiming by, through, or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, visitors, or licensees of Tenant or any such person, in, on, or about the Premises, either prior to or during the Term of this Lease (including,
without limitation, any holdovers in connection therewith), including, without limitation, any acts, omissions, or negligence in the making or performance of any alterations. Tenant’s indemnification of Landlord shall exclude damages caused by
reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord (or its employees, agents, representatives, and contractors) following the Effective Date, it being understood that Tenant, and not Landlord, shall be responsible for any and all
claims arising or accruing prior to the Effective Date. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability occurring prior to such expiration or termination, and
shall not be limited by reason of any insurance carried by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant’s indemnification with respect to environmental matters shall be governed by Section 5. 
 40. TENANT’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. During the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the 10-K and 10-Q reports
filed by The Pantry, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission within thirty (30) days after such reports are filed. If at any time Tenant is no longer a public company, upon the request of Landlord directed to Tenant’s Director of
Real Estate, Tenant shall submit to Landlord an annual financial statement within one hundred twenty (120) days following the close of each fiscal year; provided, however, that Landlord shall maintain the confidentiality of such financial
statements and the information contained therein. 
  

 35 








 41. SALES INFORMATION. Upon the request of Landlord directed to Tenant’s Director of Real
Estate, within ninety (90) days after the end of Tenant’s fiscal year (which currently is the last Thursday of September), Tenant shall submit to Landlord a summary profit and loss statement pertaining to the retail sales operations
conducted by Tenant on the Premises for the prior fiscal year, including gross sales data in such form as is maintained by Tenant pertaining to all sales of merchandise and services and income from all other sources with respect to the business
conducted on or in the Premises. Sales of products such as lottery products, money order, public pay telephones, amusement machines, money transfers, and other such products shall consist of the commission payable to Tenant and not the gross amount
received from the sale of any such items. Landlord acknowledges that such information is for its informational purposes only, is confidential, and shall not be disclosed to any other party without Tenant’s prior written consent unless required
by applicable law. 
 42. BROKERAGE INDEMNITY. Tenant and Landlord represent and warrant to each other that neither has engaged any
broker, finder, agent, or any other person (collectively, the “Broker”) due or entitled to any real estate commission, finder’s fee, compensation, or other consideration in connection with the sale of the Premises to Landlord by
Tenant or in connection with this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other from and against the payment of any commission or fees claimed by any Broker resulting from or arising out of any actions taken or
agreements made by them with respect to the business and real estate transaction reflected in this Lease. 
 43. LANDLORD LIEN.
Landlord hereby waives any lien right Landlord may have with respect to Tenant’s personal property at the Premises, including, without limitation, any so-called “landlord’s lien” as may be afforded by the provisions of statutory
law. Although such waiver is self-operative, Landlord agrees to acknowledge such waiver in writing, for the benefit of Tenant or any lender of Tenant, as Tenant may form time to time request.” 
 44. ACQUISITION CONTINGENCY. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and acknowledge that this Lease shall be contingent upon the Landlord acquiring fee
simple title to the Premises on or before May 4, 2007; provided, however, nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate Landlord to acquire fee simple title to the Premises. In the event that the Landlord does not acquire fee simple title to the
Premises on or before May 4, 2007, either party may terminate this Lease upon written notice whereafter this Lease shall terminate and become null and void and all parties hereto shall be relieved of all obligations hereunder.
