MASTER

LAND AND BUILDING LEASE

THIS MASTER LAND AND BUILDING LEASE (this “Lease”) is made and entered into as of June 3, 2015 (the “Commencement Date”), by and between GTY-Pacific Leasing, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and Apro, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”).

R E C I T A L S

A. Landlord owns (i) good and indefeasible title in fee simple to the land described on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the “Land”) and (ii) all improvements and other structures located on any of the Land; any rights of way, easements, parking covenants, entitlements, privileges and other rights appurtenant to the Land, including regarding any street adjoining any portion of the Land and any air and development rights related to the Land; and any and all fixtures at or on the Land, including all of the machinery, equipment and systems at or on any of the Land (collectively, “Building Equipment”), including the following (but specifically excluding any of the following that are not “fixtures” pursuant to applicable Law and excluding any Tenant Equipment that constitutes a “fixture” pursuant to applicable Law): built-in equipment; compressors; appliances; engines; electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning machinery; fire sprinklers and fire suppression equipment; lighting (including emergency lighting); security cameras and systems; paging and sound systems; walk-in coolers, refrigerated cases, built-in shelving; awnings, and supports for signs (all of the foregoing in this clause (ii), collectively, “Improvements”). The Land and all Improvements thereon are collectively referred to herein as “Demised Properties” and each individually as a “Demised Property.”

B. The personal property, trade fixtures and equipment owned or leased by Tenant located at any Demised Properties and used in connection with the operation of the business at the Demised Properties (other than the Building Equipment but including underground storage tanks, aboveground storage tanks, piping, fill and vent ports associated with such underground and aboveground storage tanks, fuel dispensers, display cases, counters, shelves, racks and billboards regardless of whether any of the foregoing constitute “fixtures” pursuant to applicable Law) are referred to herein collectively as the “Tenant Equipment.” The term “Tenant Equipment” shall include without limitation, with respect to each Demised Property, all of the foregoing, whether now or hereafter owned or acquired by Tenant, or in which Tenant has any interest (whether unattached or attached by bolts and screws and/or by utility connections or otherwise), and all additions to, substitutions for and replacements of the foregoing in this Recital B.

C. Tenant desires to lease from Landlord, and Landlord desires to lease to Tenant, the Demised Properties so that Tenant may, in accordance with and subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Lease, operate (or cause the operation of) a convenience food store and/or retail automobile fuel station or another Permitted Use at each Demised Property.

D. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, this Lease constitutes a single and indivisible lease of all the Demised Properties collectively, and is not an aggregation of leases for the separate Demised Properties. The parties expressly intend that from an economic point of view the Demised Properties leased pursuant to this Lease constitute one economic unit. Neither Landlord nor Tenant would have entered into this Lease except as a single and indivisible lease, and the rental herein has been established on the basis of the specific structure of the subject transaction and the economic benefits and risk profile of the transaction as a whole, and not based on the valuation or price of any individual Demised Property. Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific isolated purposes (and in such cases only to the extent expressly so stated), all provisions of this Lease, including definitions, commencement and expiration dates, rental provisions, use provisions, renewal provisions, breach, default, enforcement, termination, and subletting provisions, shall apply equally and uniformly to the Demised Properties as one unit and are not severable. Tenant’s rights to any one Demised Property are dependent on Tenant’s full performance of its obligations as to every other Demised Property, and consideration supporting any agreements under this Lease regarding any Demised Property also supports the agreements under this Lease regarding all other Demised Properties.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the lease of the Demised Properties and the rents, covenants and conditions herein set forth, and with reference to the definitions of various terms used herein as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, Landlord and Tenant do hereby covenant, promise and agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1 DEMISE OF PREMISES

Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Landlord does hereby lease unto Tenant, and Tenant does hereby lease from Landlord, for the term hereinafter provided in Article 2, the Demised Properties for the use thereof by Tenant, Tenant’s employees, customers and invitees.

ARTICLE 2 TERM

Section 2.01

(a) This Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and terminate on June 3, 2035 (the “Original Lease Term”), unless sooner terminated as hereinafter set forth. The “Lease Term,” as such term is used herein, means the Original Lease Term as extended (or as may be extended) pursuant to Section 2.02 below, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter set forth.

(b) This Lease shall be deemed to be in full force and effect upon the Commencement Date. Tenant shall be deemed to be in possession of the Demised Properties upon the Commencement Date.

Section 2.02

(a) Tenant shall have the option to extend the term of this Lease for up to three (3) separate option periods upon and subject to the terms set forth below in this Section 2.02.

The second option period (the “Second Option Period”) shall commence at the expiration of the First Option Period. The third option period (the “Third Option Period”) shall commence at the expiration of the Second Option Period.

(A) an amount equal to (i) the aggregate Base Rent for all of the Demised Properties that are subject to this Lease immediately prior to the applicable Option Period Adjustment Date (the “Current Demised Properties”), minus (ii) the aggregate of the Adjustment Amounts, as set forth on Schedule 2 hereto, for each of the Current Demised Properties that were not included in the PE Option Extension Properties designated in the Extension Notice applicable to such PE Option Period (which Adjustment Amounts shall be increased by the cumulative percentage increase in the Base Rent pursuant to Section 3.02 since the Commencement Date);

(d) On each of the Option Period Adjustment Dates, the Base Rent shall increase whereby the Base Rent for each year of any PE Option Period shall be the PE Option Base Rent applicable to such PE Option Period, and such increased Base Rent shall apply for the ensuing five-year period except for such increased Base Rent for the PE Third Option Period which shall apply for the ensuing four-year and eleven-month period. After delivery to Landlord by Tenant of a timely and valid exercise of a PE Option, and not later than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the applicable PE Option Period, Landlord shall calculate the PE Option Base Rent for each year of such PE Option Period and notify Tenant of such calculation, which shall be binding on the parties absent manifest error.

Section 3.03 Additional Rent.

(a) If by applicable Law, any general or special assessment or like charge may be paid in installments without any penalty whatsoever, then such assessment may be paid in such installments, and Tenant shall only be liable for the portion thereof that is allocable or attributable to the Lease Term or any portion thereof. If such assessment or charge may be payable in installments with interest, Tenant may pay such assessment or charge in installments, together with all interest thereon.

(b) Tenant shall pay all Real Estate Taxes [***]1.

(c) Tenant shall have the right to undertake an action or proceeding against the applicable collecting authority seeking an abatement of Real Estate Taxes or a reduction in the valuation of the Demised Properties and/or contest the applicability of any Real Estate Taxes (including, without limitation, a reduction in the value of any Demised Properties under the terms of Proposition 8 (as adopted by the voters of the State of California in the November 1978 election)); provided, however, that Tenant delivers to Landlord prior written notice of any such action or proceeding by Tenant, and that Tenant has paid timely (and continues to pay timely) all Real Estate Taxes as provided in this Lease to the extent required by applicable Law. In any instance where any such permitted action or proceeding is being undertaken by Tenant, (i) Landlord shall cooperate reasonably with Tenant, at no cost or expense to Landlord, execute any and all documents approved by Landlord and reasonably required in connection therewith, and, to the extent required by the collecting authority, agrees to file at Tenant’s request any action or proceeding against the collecting authority in its own name, and (ii) Tenant shall provide Landlord with all information reasonably requested by Landlord with respect to such action or proceeding within five (5) days after receipt of Landlord’s written request. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund (after the deduction therefrom of all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith) of any Real Estate Taxes (including penalties or interest thereon) received by Tenant or Landlord, whether or not such refund was a result of actions or proceedings instituted by Tenant, to the extent such refund relates to Real Estate Taxes that are the responsibility of Tenant pursuant to this Section 3.03.

(d) Tenant shall be solely responsible for, and shall pay directly to the applicable service providers, the cost of all utility services provided to the Demised Properties throughout the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of both of the following events, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of any and all utility services provided to the Demised Properties in lieu of payment directly to the applicable service providers: (i) delivery to Tenant of a written request therefor from Landlord, and (ii) any Default under this Section 3.03(d) by Tenant, or any Event of Default. Funds paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be used only for the payment of the cost of utility services to the Demised Properties. If Tenant fails to pay the appropriate party (Landlord or the service providers, as provided herein) all such costs when due hereunder, then Tenant shall, without limiting any other remedies available to Landlord, reimburse Landlord for any and all penalties or interest, or portion thereof, paid or incurred by Landlord as a result of such nonpayment or late payment by Tenant.

(e) Without limiting any of Tenant’s other obligations set forth in this Article, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, with each payment due to Landlord hereunder (and as a part of Rent due hereunder), all sales and excise tax on rental income and all other similar taxes imposed with respect to rental or other payments under this Lease in the nature of a sales tax, occupancy tax, commercial rents tax or the like, whether imposed by a federal, state or local taxing authority. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Tenant may pay any such tax directly to the taxing authority, provided (i) Tenant establishes such right to Landlord’s satisfaction prior to making any such payment, and (ii) Tenant, within ten (10) days after any such payment, delivers to Landlord written evidence satisfactory to Landlord that such payment has been made. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall not be responsible for (i) any income taxes imposed on Landlord, (ii) any franchise taxes of Landlord measured by net income or net worth, or (iii) any transfer taxes imposed with respect to the sale, exchange or other disposition by Landlord, in whole or in part, of the Demised Properties or Landlord’s interest in this Lease (unless such sale, exchange or other disposition by Landlord is to Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant, or is otherwise made at Tenant’s request).

ARTICLE 4 USE

Section 4.01 Tenant shall use and occupy the Demised Properties as convenience stores with retail motor fuel sales in compliance with all zoning regulations, building codes and all applicable Law. Any change in the current use of the Demised Properties shall be prohibited unless Tenant obtains Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall be given or withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion; provided, however, that Tenant shall be permitted, without Landlord’s consent but subject to compliance with all zoning regulations, building codes and all applicable Law, to add (i) fast food restaurant and/or coffee shop operations within the existing building on any Demised Property, (ii) a car wash and/or (iii) a fast lube or quick oil change facility; and provided, further, that such uses shall be in addition to and not in substitution for the uses prescribed in the first sentence of this paragraph.

Section 4.02 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, Tenant shall not use, or suffer or permit any Person (including any subtenant) to use, the Demised Properties or any portion thereof for any purpose in violation of any applicable Law, or in violation of any covenants or restrictions of record. From the Commencement Date and thereafter throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall conduct its business in a commercially reasonable and reputable manner with respect to each of the Demised Properties and in compliance with the terms and provisions of this Lease. The character of the occupancy of the Demised Properties is an additional consideration and a material inducement for the granting of this Lease by Landlord to Tenant.

Section 4.03 Without limitation, no provision of this Article 4 shall limit any of the covenants of Tenant contained in Article 22.

Tenant waives to the fullest extent allowed by Law any rights to notice by Landlord regarding the condition of the Demised Properties, whether at law or in equity, and hereby waives any rights and remedies thereunder based in any alleged or actual failure of Landlord to provide any such notices. Tenant acknowledges that (i) neither Landlord nor any of its Affiliates has made any representation or warranty as to the suitability of any Demised Property for the conduct of the Tenant’s business, and (ii) Tenant is entering into this Lease solely on the basis of its own investigations and familiarity with the Demised Properties and not on the basis of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, undertaking, promise, statement, arrangement or understanding by, on behalf of, or with, Landlord or any of its Affiliates, except as expressly set forth in this Lease.

Subject to the provisions of this Article 6, Tenant shall have no right to make alterations or additions to the Improvements (collectively, “Alterations”) at any Demised Property that involve structural changes without prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord agrees it will not withhold unreasonably; provided, however, in no event shall any Alterations be made that, after completion, would: (i) reduce the value of the Improvements as they existed prior to the time that said Alterations are made; or (ii) adversely affect the structural integrity of the Improvements. Tenant may install new underground storage tanks (including all vent and fill ports and associated piping), and any above-ground storage tanks. Any above-ground storage tanks shall include secondary containment sufficient to prevent spills, overfills or tank ruptures from causing a Release. Any and all Alterations made by Tenant shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Prior to the commencement of any Alterations (other than Minor Projects), Tenant shall deliver promptly to Landlord detailed cost estimates for any such proposed Alterations, as well as all drawings, plans and other information regarding such Alterations (such estimates, drawings, plans and other information are collectively referred to herein as the “Alteration Information”). Landlord’s review and/or approval (if required) of any Alteration Information shall in no event constitute any representation or warranty by Landlord regarding: (x) the compliance of any Alteration Information with any applicable Law, (y) the presence or absence of any defects in any Alteration Information, or (z) the safety or quality of any of the Alterations constructed in accordance with any plans or other Alteration Information. Landlord’s review and/or approval of any of the Alteration Information shall not preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant based upon the Alterations, the Alteration Information, or any defects therein.

required for particular Alterations, Tenant shall request Landlord’s consent to such Alterations in writing [***]1. and Landlord will endeavor to respond to such request within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of the same. [***]1. Any such consent given or deemed given by Landlord shall be applicable only to the Alteration Information for which it was given. Any material changes to the applicable Alteration Information (including, without limitation, those required for necessary governmental approvals) shall require separate notice to and consent of Landlord in accordance with the procedures of this paragraph. In making any and all Alterations, Tenant also shall comply with all of the following requirements:

(a) No Alterations shall be undertaken until Tenant shall have (i) procured and paid for, so far as the same may be required by applicable Law, all necessary permits and authorizations of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over such Alterations, and (ii) delivered to Landlord at least five (5) Business Days prior to commencing any such Alterations written evidence acceptable to Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, of all such permits and authorizations. Landlord shall, to the extent required by applicable Law (but at no cost, expense, or risk of loss to Landlord), join in the application for such permits or authorizations whenever necessary, promptly upon written request of Tenant.

(b) Any and all structural Alterations of the Improvements shall be performed under the supervision of a reputable architect and/or structural engineer with experience in the supervision of similar type Alterations.

(c) Except for Minor Projects, Tenant shall notify Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to commencing any Alterations, and Tenant shall permit Landlord access to the relevant Demised Properties in order to post and keep posted thereon such notices as may be provided or required by applicable Law to disclaim responsibility for any construction on the relevant Demised Properties. In addition, Landlord may require Tenant to file or record any such notices, or other similar notices, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, in accordance with local law or custom.

(d) Any and all Alterations shall be conducted and completed in a commercially reasonable time period, in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all applicable Law, permits, and requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the relevant Demised Properties, and of the local Board of Fire Underwriters, if any; and, upon completion of any and all Alterations, Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord a copy of the amended certificate of occupancy for the relevant Demised Properties, if required under applicable Law or by any Governmental Authority. If any Alterations involve the generation, handling, treatment, storage, disposal, permitting, abatement or reporting of Hazardous Materials, Tenant shall prepare and retain any and all records, permits, reports and other documentation necessary or advisable to document and evidence all such Hazardous Materials were handled in compliance with applicable Law. To the extent reasonably practicable, any and all Alterations shall be made and conducted so as not to disrupt Tenant’s business.

(e) The cost of any and all Alterations shall be promptly paid by Tenant so that the Demised Properties at all times shall be free of any and all liens for labor and/or materials supplied for any Alterations. Tenant shall provide Landlord promptly with evidence satisfactory to Landlord that all contractors, subcontractors or materialmen have been paid in full with respect to such Alterations and that their lien rights have been waived or released. In the event any such lien shall nonetheless be filed, Tenant shall, within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s receipt of notice of such lien, discharge the same by

Tenant may in good faith contest any such lien, provided that within such sixty (60) day period Tenant provides Landlord with a surety bond or other form of security reasonably acceptable to Landlord protecting against said lien. In the event Tenant fails to either discharge such lien or protect against such lien in accordance with the foregoing, then (i) Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to pay such lien or post a bond to protect against such lien and pass through such costs to Tenant as Additional Rent; and (ii) such failure shall constitute an Event of Default. If Landlord exercises its right to, and does, pay such lien or post a bond, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, the sum equal to the amount of the lien thus discharged by Landlord or the cost of such bond, plus all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and court costs, incurred by Landlord in discharging such lien.

(f) The interest of Landlord in the Demised Properties shall not be subject in any way to any liens for improvements to or other work performed to the Demised Properties by or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall have no power or authority to create any lien or permit any lien to attach to the present estate, reversion, or other interest of Landlord in the Demised Properties. All contracts entered into by Tenant with mechanics, materialmen, contractors, laborers, artisans, suppliers, and other parties contracting with Tenant, its representatives or contractors with respect to the Demised Properties shall include a notice that they must look solely to Tenant to secure payment for any labor, services or materials furnished or to be furnished to Tenant, or to anyone holding any of the Demised Properties through or under Tenant during the term of this Lease.

Section 10.05 Any insurance provided for in this Article may be effected by a blanket policy or policies of insurance, provided that the amount of the total insurance available with respect to the Demised Properties shall provide coverage and indemnity at least equivalent to separate policies in the amounts herein required, and provided further that in other respects, any such policy or policies shall comply with the provisions of this Article. Any increased coverage provided by individual or blanket policies shall be satisfactory, provided the aggregate liability limits covering the Demised Properties under such policies shall otherwise comply with the provisions of this Article.

Section 10.06 Every insurance policy carried by either Landlord or Tenant with respect to the Demised Properties shall include provisions waiving the insurer’s subrogation rights against the other party, prior to the occurrence of damage or loss. Subject to the above, each party hereby waives any rights of recovery against the other party for any direct damage or consequential loss covered by said policies (or by policies required to be carried hereunder by such party) whether or not such damage or loss shall have been caused by any acts or omissions of the other party.

The business interruption insurance required pursuant to Section 10.01 shall name Landlord and Landlord’s Lenders as loss payees. All insurance policies required under this Article 10 shall also provide that the beneficial interest of Landlord in such policies shall be fully transferable. In the event Tenant fails to procure or maintain any policy of insurance required under Article 10, or if the insurance company or coverages provided fail to meet the requirements contained in this Article 10, Landlord may, at its option, purchase such insurance and charge Tenant all costs and expenses incurred in procuring and maintaining such insurance.

ARTICLE 11 DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

Section 11.01 If at any time during the Lease Term, any of the Demised Properties or any part thereof shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty of any kind or nature, Tenant shall promptly apply for all permits required by applicable Law, but in any event not later than sixty (60) days after the first date of such damage or destruction, and, upon issuance of such permits, thereafter diligently proceed to repair, replace or rebuild such Demised Property as nearly as possible to its condition and character immediately prior to such damage, with such variations and Alterations requested by Landlord as may be permitted under (and subject to the provisions of) Article 6 (the “Restoration Work”).

Section 11.02 All property and casualty insurance proceeds payable to Landlord or Tenant (except (a) insurance proceeds payable to Tenant on account of the Tenant Equipment or Tenant’s inventory; and (b) insurance proceeds payable from property or comprehensive general public liability insurance, or any other insurance) at any time as a result of casualty to the Demised Properties shall be paid jointly to Landlord and Tenant for purposes of payment for the cost of the Restoration Work, except as may be otherwise expressly set forth herein. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in order to obtain the largest possible insurance award lawfully obtainable and shall execute any and all consents and other instruments and take all other actions necessary or desirable in order to effectuate same and to cause such proceeds to be paid as hereinbefore provided. The proceeds of any such insurance in the case of loss shall, to the extent necessary, be used first for the Restoration Work (including if completed by Landlord or a third party after any substitution of the applicable Demised Property pursuant to Article 31) with the balance, if any, paid to Tenant (provided, however, that if an Event of Default is continuing, the balance, if any, shall be paid to Landlord). If insurance proceeds as a result of a casualty to the relevant Demised Property are insufficient to complete the Restoration Work necessary by reason of such casualty, then Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of such amounts necessary to complete such Restoration Work.

Section 11.03 Subject to the terms hereof, this Lease shall not be affected in any manner by reason of the total or partial destruction to any Demised Property or any part thereof, and Tenant, notwithstanding any applicable Law, present or future, waives all rights to quit or surrender any Demised Property or any portion thereof because of the total or partial destruction of any Demised Property (prior to the expiration of this Lease). Without limiting the foregoing, no Rent shall abate as a result of any casualty.

ARTICLE 12 EMINENT DOMAIN

Section 12.01 Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that in no event shall any taking of any Demised Property for any public or quasi-public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain, or by purchase in lieu thereof, in any way relieve Tenant of any obligations under this Lease (as to the applicable Demised Property or otherwise), except as explicitly provided in this Article.

Section 12.02 If any portion of any Demised Property, or existing access to or from any Demised Property, is taken for any public or quasi-public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain, or by purchase in lieu thereof, and such taking, in Landlord’s reasonable determination (a) reduces the value of the Demised Property by twenty-five (25%) or more, or (b) prevents, and would prevent after reasonable repair and reconstruction efforts by Tenant, use of the Demised Property for its then current permitted use under applicable zoning or other use regulations (including with respect to required parking and access) or otherwise would likely have a material adverse effect on Tenant’s sales and business volume at the Demised Property, then, in the case of a reduction in value as described in the foregoing clause “(a)”, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as to such Demised Property, and in the case of a resulting inability to use the Demised Property or the likelihood of a material adverse effect on Tenant’s business at the Demised Property as described in the foregoing clause “(b)”, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as to such Demised Property (but, in either case, not as to any other Demised Property), in each case, as of the date that title to the applicable Demised Property, or portion thereof, actually transfers to the applicable authority.

Section 12.03 Tenant agrees that Landlord has the right in its sole discretion, and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to oppose any proposed taking regarding any Demised Property. The parties hereto agree to cooperate in applying for and in prosecuting any claim for any taking regarding any Demised Property and further agree that the aggregate net award shall be distributed as follows:

(a) Termination. Landlord shall have the right, with or without notice or demand, immediately upon expiration of any applicable notice or grace period specified herein, to terminate this Lease (or Tenant’s possession of any of the Demised Properties), and at any time thereafter recover possession of all or any portion of the Demised Properties or any part thereof and expel and remove therefrom Tenant and any other Person occupying the same by any lawful means, and repossess and enjoy all or any portion of the Demised Properties without prejudice to any of the remedies that Landlord may have under this Lease. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease (or to terminate Tenant’s right of possession), Landlord shall also have the right to reenter the Demised Properties and take possession of and remove all personal property of Tenant, if any, in such Demised Properties, subject to the rights thereto of any Tenant’s lenders under any Credit Facility and the terms of any Landlord Waiver and Collateral Access Agreement that may be entered into between Landlord and the Administrative Agent. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease and/or Tenant’s right to possession, or if Tenant’s right to possession is otherwise terminated by operation of Law, Landlord may recover as damages from Tenant the following: (i) all Rent then due under this Lease through the date of termination; (ii) the Rent due for the remainder of the Lease Term in excess of the fair market rental value of the Demised Properties for the remainder of the Lease Term, including any and all Additional Rent (each discounted by the discount rate [***]1); (iii) the cost of reletting the Demised Properties, including the anticipated period of vacancy until such Demised Properties can be re-let at their fair market rental values; and (iv) any other costs and expenses that Landlord may reasonably incur in connection with the Event of Default. Unless required by applicable Law, Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate its damages caused by the Event of Default (or Tenant’s Default under this Lease), but if Landlord does attempt to so mitigate its damages, such efforts by Landlord shall not waive Landlord’s right to recover damages under the foregoing provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not exercise its right to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s possession of any of the Demised Properties without giving Administrative Agent prior written notice of the Event of Default and a reasonable period within which to cure such Event of Default, which period shall be not less than five (5) Business Days in the event of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 15.01(a) or Section 15.01(b), and which shall be not less than fifteen (15) days in the case of all other Events of Default.

(b) Continuation after Event of Default. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, then this Lease shall continue in effect, and Landlord may enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due, and Landlord, without terminating this Lease, may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a landlord at law or in equity, subject to Article 26. Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease except by an express statement in writing. Acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Demised Properties, or the appointment of a receiver upon application of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute an election to terminate Tenant’s right to possession unless such election is expressly stated in writing by Landlord. Notwithstanding any such reletting without such termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate Tenant’s right to possession and this Lease. If Landlord elects to relet the Demised Properties for the account of Tenant, the rent received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any and all costs of such reletting (including attorneys’ fees, brokers’ fees, and the cost of alterations and repairs to any of the Demised Properties, and tenant improvement costs); second, to the payment of any and all indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; third, to the payment of any and all Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the balance, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as it becomes due. If the rent received from the reletting is less than the sum of the costs of reletting, other indebtedness due by Tenant, and the Rent due by Tenant, then Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within ten (10) days after written demand by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.

(c) State–Specific Remedy. Landlord may pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the Laws of the states in which the Demised Properties are located, in addition to and not as an alternative remedy to those provided hereunder.

Section 15.03 Late Fee. If any payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant when such payment is due to Landlord hereunder, such payment shall be deemed delinquent and Tenant shall pay to Landlord (i) a late fee of five percent (5%) of each such delinquent payment, and (ii) interest on the past due amounts at a rate per annum equal to the prime lending rate, as then most recently published by the Wall Street Journal, plus ten percent (10%) (but not more than the highest rate permitted by Law), which amounts shall be due and payable to Landlord simultaneously with the delinquent Base Rent or delinquent Additional Rent, as the case may be.

The provisions of this Article shall in no event operate to delay the Commencement Date or to excuse Tenant from the payment of all Rent as and when due under this Lease.

(b) If this Lease is assigned or transferred, or if all or any part of the Demised Properties is sublet or occupied by any party other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, transferee, subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the Rent reserved in this Lease, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any covenant or condition of this Lease or Landlord’s acceptance of the assignee, transferee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release by Landlord of Tenant from the performance or further performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) any sublease with respect to any Demised Property or portion thereof entered into from and after the Commencement Date shall expressly provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease, and (ii), in the event of any assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall remain jointly and severally liable with the assignee for all of the obligations under this Lease, and in all other cases of any transfer of Tenant’s interest under this Lease, Tenant shall remain primarily liable for such obligations. Subject to the foregoing, the consent by Landlord to an assignment, transfer or subletting shall not in any way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord in each instance to any subsequent similar action that Tenant may desire to take.

non-disturbance and attornment agreement in favor of Tenant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, or other commercially reasonable form requested by Landlord that provides, without limitation, that this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall survive any foreclosure proceeding brought under such mortgage or deed of trust or termination of such ground or underlying lease (as applicable), provided an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing under this Lease (either, an “SNDA”). Without limiting the foregoing, (a) as of the Commencement Date, each of Landlord, Landlord’s Lender, and Tenant shall execute and deliver to each other an SNDA in the form previously agreed to among Landlord, Tenant and Landlord’s Lender; provided, however, that the parties hereto agree that all subsequent SNDAs shall be on the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, or such other commercially reasonable form requested by Landlord, consistent with the first sentence of this Section 23.01, and (b) Tenant shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any subtenant, from time to time, within twenty (20) days after any request by Landlord, to execute and deliver such other instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease (at Landlord’s election) to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground or underlying leases (including, at Landlord’s election, one or more additional SNDAs requested by Landlord’s Lender).

Section 23.02

(a) Notwithstanding Section 22.01, but subject to the terms of this Article 23, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right to encumber, collaterally assign, pledge or hypothecate Tenant’s interest in the leasehold estate created by this Lease without Landlord’s prior written consent so long as such encumbrance, assignment or pledge is in favor of a real estate investment trust, bank, saving and loan association, investment bank, insurance company, trust company, commercial credit corporation, pension plan, pension fund or pension advisory firm, mutual fund, government entity or plan that satisfies the Eligibility Requirements (defined below). All proceeds from any Leasehold Mortgage shall remain the property of Tenant. Landlord shall not be obligated to subordinate any or all of Landlord’s right, title or interest in and to the Demised Properties or this Lease to the lien of any Leasehold Mortgage. A Leasehold Mortgage shall encumber only Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Demised Properties and shall not encumber Landlord’s right, title or interest in the Demised Properties. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever for the payment or performance of any obligation secured by any Leasehold Mortgage or related obligations. A Leasehold Mortgage shall be, and hereafter shall continue at all times to be, subject to each and all of the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Lease, and junior, subject and subordinate, in each and every respect, to all rights and interests of any Landlord’s Mortgagee now or hereafter affecting any of the Demised Properties, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the SNDA. Should there be any conflict between the provisions of this Lease and the provisions of any Leasehold Mortgage, the provisions of this Lease shall control. No Leasehold Mortgage shall be for a term longer than the then current Lease Term. Upon written request from Tenant, Landlord agrees to deliver an estoppel certificate and/or agreement in favor of Tenant’s Lender regarding this Lease, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant’s Lender.

delivered to Landlord a prior written request for such notice, and Landlord shall recognize and accept the performance of any obligation of Tenant hereunder by Tenant’s Lender (provided said performance occurs within the same cure periods as provided to Tenant under this Lease); provided, however that nothing contained herein shall obligate Tenant’s Lender to take any such actions. Any act by Tenant or Tenant’s Lender in violation of this Section 23.02 shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Tenant shall, without charge, at any time and from time to time, within twenty (20) days after any request by Landlord, obtain from Tenant’s Lender and deliver to Landlord or any other Person specified by Landlord, duly executed and acknowledged, an estoppel certificate certifying (x) copies of the documents creating, evidencing and securing the debt secured by any Leasehold Mortgage, (y) whether, to the knowledge of Tenant’s Lender, any default exists under such Leasehold Mortgage and (z) such other matters relating to such Leasehold Mortgage as Landlord may reasonably request. This Section shall survive termination of this Lease. “Eligibility Requirements” as used in this Section means, with respect to any entity, that such entity (i) has total assets (in name or under management) in excess of $600,000,000 and (except with respect to a pension advisory firm or similar fiduciary) either (x) capital/statutory surplus or shareholder’s equity of $250,000,000 or (y) market capitalization of at least $400,000,000, and (ii) is regularly engaged in the business of making or owning commercial real estate loans (including mezzanine loans to direct or indirect owners of commercial properties, which loans are secured by pledges of direct or indirect ownership interests in the owners of such commercial properties) or operating commercial real estate properties.

(b) Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Landlord has executed and delivered to Tenant’s Lender and Phillips 66 Company (“PSX”) that certain Estoppel, Consent and Agreement of even date herewith, which shall be binding on Landlord’s successors and assigns.

ARTICLE 24 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

Tenant shall, without charge, at any time and from time to time, within twenty (20) days after any request by Landlord, deliver to Landlord or any other Person specified by Landlord, a completed Estoppel Certificate, duly executed and acknowledged, in substantially the form as set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto, or other commercially reasonable estoppel certificate confirming such information regarding this Lease and Tenant as Landlord may request (either, an “Estoppel Certificate”). Tenant’s failure to deliver to Landlord any Estoppel Certificate requested by Landlord as and when provided in this Article shall be deemed conclusive against Tenant as to the truthfulness of the items stated in such Estoppel Certificate requested by Landlord.

ARTICLE 25 RECORDING

Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease; provided, however, concurrently with the execution hereof, each party shall join in the execution and recordation of a memorandum of lease (or similar instrument) in a form substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. Tenant shall pay all costs charged by the applicable local recorder in connection with the recordation of any such memorandum of lease (or similar instrument); provided further that, as a condition to the recording of any such memorandum of lease, Tenant shall have executed and delivered in escrow to Landlord a release of such memorandum in such form and substance as shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord, together with Tenant’s written authorization for the recording of such release upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall pay all costs charged by the applicable local recorder in connection with the recordation of any such memorandum of lease (or similar instrument) and release thereof.

ARTICLE 26 APPLICABLE LAW; JUDICIAL REFERENCE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

Section 26.01 This Lease shall be construed in accordance with, and this Lease and all matters arising out of or relating to this Lease (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) shall be governed by, the law of the State of California without regard to conflicts of law principles. If any provision of this Lease or the application thereof shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 26.02

(a) Because disputes arising in connection with complex transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and further because Landlord and Tenant (collectively, the “Parties”) wish applicable California State and Federal laws to apply, the Parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judicial referee applying such applicable laws. The Parties expressly waive trial by jury in any action, suit, or proceeding brought to resolve any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, arising out of, connected with, related to, or incidental to this Lease and/or the relationship established among the Parties in connection with this Lease or related document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (a “Dispute”) to the full extent permitted by law.

(b) Accordingly, any Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Lease and/or the relationship established among the Parties in connection with this Lease or related document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions for reference and trial by referee (without jury) set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq., or any successor statute or statute, court rule, or provision of law containing reasonably similar provisions in accordance with the provisions of this Section 26.02. The referee (“Referee”) shall be a retired or former California or Federal judge residing in the Los Angeles, California area, who is either (i) agreed to by the Parties to a Dispute within fifteen (15) days of the notice by any Party to the other(s) of the intention to invoke this Section 26.02 to resolve the Dispute, or (ii) failing such agreement, is appointed pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 640, or any successor statute or statute, court rule, or provision of law containing reasonably similar provisions, in an action filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California.

(c) The Parties agree that any Party may (and, if necessary, the other Parties shall join in such filing) file with the clerk of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, and/or with the appropriate judge of such court, any and all petitions, motions, applications or other documents necessary to obtain the appointment of such a Referee immediately upon the commencement of any action or proceeding to resolve any Dispute, and to conduct all necessary discovery and to proceed to a trial as expeditiously as possible. The action shall be conducted and the issues determined in compliance with all judicial rules and all statutory and decisional law of the State of California as if the matter were formally litigated in the Superior Court and not by way of judicial reference. It is the Parties’ intention and the Parties and the Referee shall use their best efforts to be certain that (i) discovery be conducted for a period no longer than six (6) months from the date (the “Referee Date”) the Referee is appointed (whether by stipulation or by the Superior Court), excluding motions regarding discovery, and (ii) trial be set on a date that is within nine (9) months of the Referee Date. All discovery motions shall be filed with the Referee and served upon the opposing Party no later than the last day of the six-month discovery period; provided that the Parties agree to grant such reasonable extensions of time necessary to reflect the complexities of the issues presented for resolution. All proceedings, including trial, before the Referee shall be conducted at a neutral location (unless otherwise stipulated by the Parties) within twenty-five (25) miles of the downtown Los Angeles County Superior Court. The Parties agree that said Referee shall be a judge for all purposes (including, without limitation, (x) ruling on any and all discovery matters and motions and any and all pretrial or trial motions, (y) setting a schedule of pretrial proceedings, and (z) making any other orders or rulings a sitting judge of the Superior Court would be empowered to make in any action or proceeding in the Superior Court). Any matter before the Referee shall be governed by the substantive law of California, its Code of Civil Procedure, Rules of Court, Evidence Code, and such other statutes or rules which would be applicable if the matter were tried in the Superior Court, except as otherwise specifically agreed by the Parties and approved by the Referee. The Parties intend this general reference agreement to be specifically enforceable in accordance with the California Code of Civil Procedure. Any decision of the Referee and/or judgment or other order entered thereon shall be appealable to the same extent and in the same manner that such decision, judgment, or order would be appealable if rendered by a judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court. The Referee shall in his/her statement of decision set forth his/her findings of fact and conclusions of law.

(d) During the pendency of any action or proceeding respecting a Dispute, and before the entry of any judgment therein, each of the parties to such action or proceeding shall bear equal shares of the fees charged and costs incurred by the Referee in connection with performing the services provided in this Section. The compensation of the Referee shall not exceed the prevailing rate for like services. The prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable court costs and legal fees, including customary attorney fees, expert witness fees, paralegal fees, the fees of the Referee and other reasonable costs and disbursements charged to the party by its counsel, in such amount as is determined by the Referee. If a court reporter is requested by either party, then such reporter shall be present at all proceedings, and the fees of such reporter shall be borne by the party requesting such reporter. Such fees shall be an item of recoverable costs.

(e) Nothing in this Section 26.02 shall prejudice the right of any Party to obtain provisional relief or other equitable remedies as shall otherwise be available under the Code of Civil Procedure and/or applicable Court rules.

Section 26.03 TENANT AND LANDLORD EACH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE OTHER PARTY’S ENTERING INTO THIS LEASE.

ARTICLE 27 LIABILITY OF PARTIES

Section 27.01 The obligations of Landlord under this Lease are not personal obligations of the individual members, partners, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees of Landlord. Tenant shall look solely to the Demised Properties for satisfaction of any liability of Landlord and shall not look to other assets of Landlord nor seek recourse against the assets of the individual members, partners, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees of Landlord. Whenever Landlord transfers its interest in any Demised Property, Landlord shall be automatically released from further performance under this Lease with respect to such Demised Property and from all further liabilities and expenses hereunder related to such Demised Property, whether arising before or after such transfer.

Section 27.02 The obligations of Tenant under this Lease are not personal obligations of the individual members, partners, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees of Tenant, and Landlord shall not seek recourse against the assets of the individual members, partners, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees of Tenant. If more than one Person is named as Tenant hereunder, the obligations under this Lease of all such Persons as Tenant shall be joint and several.

ARTICLE 28 ATTORNEYS’ FEES; EXPENSES

Without limiting any other obligation of Tenant to timely indemnify or reimburse Landlord hereunder (including under Article 9 and Article 29), if any party to this Lease shall bring any action or proceeding for any relief against the other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Lease, the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party a reasonable sum for attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in bringing or defending such action or proceeding and/or enforcing any judgment granted therein, all of which shall be deemed to have accrued upon the commencement of such action or proceeding and shall be paid whether or not such action or proceeding is prosecuted to final judgment. Any judgment or order entered in such action or proceeding shall contain a specific provision providing for the recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs, separate from the judgment, incurred in enforcing such judgment. The prevailing party shall be determined by the trier of fact based upon an assessment of which party’s major arguments or positions taken in the proceedings could fairly be said to have prevailed over the other party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues; provided, however, that the parties agree that in no event shall Tenant be deemed a prevailing party if an Event of Default then exists under this Lease. For the purposes of this provision, attorneys’ fees shall include fees incurred in the following: (i) post-judgment motions; (ii) contempt proceedings; (iii) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examinations; (iv) discovery; and (v) bankruptcy litigation. This provision is intended to be expressly severable from the other provisions of this Lease, is intended to survive any judgment and is not to be deemed merged into the judgment. The cost of the reference set forth in Section 26.02 herein shall initially be borne pro rata by the parties, but the prevailing party shall be entitled to obtain reimbursement for its pro rata share of the reference cost, and shall be awarded such costs, in addition to all other recoverable costs pursuant to this Article 28.

ARTICLE 30 LANDLORD ASSIGNMENT

Section 30.01 This Lease shall be fully assignable by Landlord or its successors and assigns, in whole or in part, subject to the terms of Article 27 and this Article 30. In the event that from time to time Landlord desires to assign partially its interest in this Lease with respect to one or more of the Demised Properties (including to one or more Affiliates of Landlord), then (a) Landlord shall determine in its sole discretion, the Base Rent allocated to any Demised Properties covered by the partial assignment (the “Allocated Base Rent Amount”), (b) Landlord, at its cost and expense, shall prepare a landlord assignment lease agreement (or landlord assignment lease agreements, in Landlord’s discretion) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E with respect to any such Demised Properties (each, a “Landlord Assignment Lease Agreement”); (c) upon the assignment by Landlord, this Lease shall be amended to exclude any such Demised Properties from this Lease, and the Base Rent hereunder shall be reduced by the Allocated Base Rent Amount; and (d) the Base Rent payable under the Landlord Assignment Lease Agreement (or Landlord Assignment Lease Agreements) shall equal the Allocated Base Rent Amount.

Exhibit E, and (ii) a provision regarding governing law and waiver of jury trial materially identical to Article 26 of this Lease in lieu of the language in Article 26 of the form of Landlord Lease Assignment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E); and (z) any Landlord assignee that is a Landlord’s Affiliate may, in its sole discretion, elect to conform the terms of such Landlord Assignment Lease Agreement (other than Base Rent) to this Lease, rather than to the form of Landlord Assignment Lease Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E.

Section 30.02 Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease constitutes a true lease and not a financing or other form of transaction (including for federal income tax purposes). In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant each irrevocably waives any claim or defense based upon the characterization of this Lease as anything other than a true lease and irrevocably waives any claim or defense that asserts that this Lease is anything other than a true lease. Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree that they will not assert that this Lease is anything but a true lease. Landlord and Tenant each stipulate and agree not to challenge the validity, enforceability or characterization of this Lease of the Demised Properties as a true lease and further stipulate and agree that nothing contained in this Lease creates or is intended to create a joint venture, partnership (either de jure or de facto), equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, security interest or the like. Landlord and Tenant each shall support the intent of the parties that the lease of the Demised Properties pursuant to this Lease is a true lease and does not create a joint venture, partnership (either de jure or de facto), equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, security interest or the like, if, and to the extent that, any challenge occurs. Tenant has discussed the characterization of this Lease with its independent auditors and Tenant believes that this Lease will be treated as an operating lease rather than a capital lease. Landlord shall have the sole right to claim all depreciation with respect to the Demised Properties. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall be entitled to claim all depreciation with respect to any Tenant Equipment.

Section 30.03 Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease constitutes a single and indivisible lease as to all of the Demised Properties collectively and shall not be subject to severance or division unless and to the extent, (i) pursuant to Section 30.01, Landlord elects to effect a partial assignment of this Lease, (ii) Tenant elects to exercise a PE Option pursuant to Section 2.02, or (iii) there shall occur a replacement of a Demised Property pursuant to Article 31. In furtherance of the foregoing, and except as may result from the amendment of this Lease to eliminate certain Demised Properties and reduce Base Rent in conjunction with the execution of Landlord Assignment Lease Agreements pursuant to the terms of Section 30.01, Landlord and Tenant each (a) waives any claim or defense based upon the characterization of this Lease as anything other than a master lease of all the Demised Properties and irrevocably waives any claim or defense that asserts that this Lease is anything other than a master lease, (b) covenants and agrees that it will not assert that this Lease is anything but a unitary, unseverable instrument pertaining to the lease of all, but not less than all, of the Demised Properties, (c) stipulates and agrees not to challenge the validity, enforceability or characterization of this Lease of the Demised Properties as a unitary, unseverable instrument pertaining to the lease of all, but not less than all, of the Demised Properties, and (iv) shall support the intent of the parties that this Lease is a unitary, unseverable instrument pertaining to the lease of all, but not less than all, of the Demised Properties, if, and to the extent that, any challenge occurs. To the extent that legal, tax or title insurance requirements in consummating the purchase of the Demised Properties by Landlord or leasing the Demised Properties to Tenant, may require, or may have required, individual purchase price allocations (including allocations of values for individual state transfer tax purposes and title insurance coverage amounts) or individual rent

allocations (including allocations of rents in certain states for tax purposes), Landlord and Tenant agree that such individual allocations are solely to comply with legal, tax or title insurance requirements, and shall not be used or construed, directly or indirectly, to vary the intent of Landlord and Tenant that this Lease constitutes a single and indivisible lease of all the Demised Properties collectively and is not an aggregation of separate leases.

ARTICLE 31 REPLACEMENTS

In the event Tenant determines that any of the Demised Properties is no longer economically feasible, Tenant shall be permitted to request that such Demised Property be severed from the Demised Properties demised pursuant to the terms of this Lease and another property be substituted in its place. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may only request that [***]1 Portfolio Properties per year under this Lease and the Other Leases be substituted and that an aggregate of not more than [***]1 Portfolio Properties under this Lease and the Other Leases be substituted over the Term of this Lease and the Other Leases, as the Term may be extended by one or more of the Renewal Terms under this Lease and the Other Lease, as applicable (provided, however, if Tenant’s request is revoked and Tenant pays all costs incurred by Landlord relating to such substitution request, then any such revoked request shall not count towards the foregoing limitation). In order to request any such substitution, Tenant shall submit a written request to Landlord, which request shall be accompanied with sufficient reasonable financial information demonstrating that the Demised Property in question is no longer economically feasible, which information shall include, with respect to such Demised Property, monthly profit and loss amounts for the twenty-four (24) month period prior to the date of the request and such other financial and business information as shall be reasonably requested by Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall identify one (1) proposed property for consideration by Landlord as the potential substitution for the Demised Property sought to be severed from this Lease. Each such substitute property proposed by Tenant shall be a convenience store with retail motor fuel sales and located within California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon or Colorado. Tenant shall provide Landlord with financial information regarding such proposed property, a current appraisal for such proposed property, together with such additional information as Landlord shall reasonably request in order for it to be provided with a full and complete understanding of the financial condition of the operations, physical condition and environmental condition of such proposed substitute property.

Upon receipt of Tenant’s request as set forth above in this Article 31, Landlord may elect one of the following options: (i) to sever the Demised Property that is no longer economically feasible from the Demised Properties demised pursuant to this Lease and accept the proposed substituted properties in its place without any adjustment in the Base Rent, (ii) to sever the Demised Property that is no longer economically feasible from the Demised Properties demised pursuant to this Lease and not accept the proposed substitute property in its place and to reduce the Base Rent by the amount equal to the product of the Demised Property FMV of such severed Demised Property multiplied by [***]1, or (iii) to require that Tenant purchase such Demised Property from Landlord at the Demised Property FMV of the Demised Property and to reduce the Base Rent by the amount equal to the product of the Demised Property FMV of such Demised Property multiplied by [***]1. Landlord agrees to notify Tenant of its election within 15 days after receiving all the information required to be delivered to Landlord by Tenant under this Article 31. Upon Landlord’s election as provided herein, then Landlord and Tenant shall promptly enter into an amendment of this Lease in order to document such agreement and revise Exhibit “A” accordingly, at the sole cost and expense (including without limitation Landlord’s reasonable

attorneys’ fees and expenses) of Tenant. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the release of any such Demised Properties from any mortgage, lien, charge, encumbrance or other financing device encumbering such Demised Properties as may be required by Landlord’s lender and consent from Landlord’s lender for such substitution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 31, Tenant shall have the right to revoke any request to sever a Demised Property by giving written notice to Landlord at any time prior to the mutual execution of an amendment of this Lease consummating such severance, provided that Tenant pays all costs incurred by Landlord relating to such request.

The “Demised Property FMV” shall mean the then fair market value of a Demised Property for use as then currently being used (as if the Demised Property is unencumbered and free and clear of the existence of this Lease). In order to determine the Demised Property FMV of each Demised Property to be severed from the Demised Properties and/or purchased by Tenant for purposes of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, as applicable, of this Article 31 the following shall apply:

(a) Not later than thirty (30) days after Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord has elected to determine the Demised Property FMV of a Demised Property to be purchased by Tenant and/or severed from the Demised Properties, Landlord and Tenant shall each provide the other with the name of an independent real estate appraiser (“Landlord’s Consultant” and “Tenant’s Consultant”, as the case may be, and collectively, the “Consultants”), to act as Landlord’s representative and Tenant’s representative in order to determine the Demised Property-FMV of such Demised Property. Not later than thirty (30) days after the designation of Landlord’s Consultant and Tenant’s Consultant (each such consultant shall comply with the requirements of subsection (c) below), each such consultant shall determine the Demised Property FMV of each such Demised Property and shall circulate such determinations to the other party. If the Demised Property FMV determinations of the two consultants for any such Demised Property differ by ten percent (10%) or less, then the average of such determinations shall be the Demised Property FMV of such Demised Property. However, if the Demised Property FMV determinations of the two consultants for any such Demised Property differ by more than ten percent (10%), then Tenant’s Consultant and Landlord’s Consultant shall meet (in person or by telephone) to mutually agree upon the determination of the Demised Property FMV of such Demised Property within ten (10) days after such consultants circulate their determinations of the Demised Property FMV.

(b) If Landlord’s Consultant and Tenant’s Consultant shall be unable to reach such determination for such Demised Property within the time periods set forth in subsection (a) above, both of the Consultants shall each designate their final Demised Property FMV determinations for each such Demised Property, if they have changed from the initial determination, and shall jointly select a third independent real estate appraiser (“Third Consultant”), whose fee shall be borne by Tenant. In the event that Landlord’s Consultant and Tenant’s Consultant shall be unable to jointly agree on the designation of Third Consultant within five (5) days after they are requested to do so by either party, then the parties agree to allow the American Arbitration Association or any successor organization to designate Third Consultant in accordance with the rules, regulations and/or procedures of the American Arbitration Association or any successor organization then in effect.

(c) Third Consultant shall conduct such hearings and investigations as Third Consultant may deem appropriate and shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of designation of Third Consultant, prepare an independent determination of the value of the Demised Property being purchased and/or severed. The final Demised Property FMV determination of each such Demised Property shall be the average of the two valuations of Landlord’s Consultant, Tenant’s Consultant and Third Consultant which

are closest. Once determined, the Demised Property FMV determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall pay all counsel fees and expenses, if any, in connection with any arbitration under this subsection, including the expenses and fees of any Consultant selected by it in accordance with the provisions hereof. Landlord’s Consultant, Tenant’s Consultant, Third Consultant and any other consultant appointed pursuant to this Article 31 shall be an independent real estate appraiser with at least ten years’ experience in leasing and valuation of properties which are similar in character to the Demised Properties, and an MAI member of the Appraisers Institute, and shall not have any personal or business relationship with either Landlord or Tenant which might be, or have the appearance of, a conflict of interest. Landlord’s Consultant, Tenant’s Consultant, and Third Consultant shall not have the power to add to, modify or change any of the provisions of this Lease.

ARTICLE 33 LANDLORD’S RIGHTS UNDER LEASE

ARTICLE 35 RECOGNITION AGREEMENT

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant’s leasehold interest in and to the Demised Properties under this Lease, in each case, is subject to a right of first refusal in favor of Phillips 66 Company (“PSX”) granted pursuant to one or more Master Branded Reseller Agreements and/or Branded Marketer Agreements between PSX and Tenant. In recognition of the rights of first refusal in favor of PSX, Landlord, Tenant and PSX have entered into that certain ROFR Recognition Agreement of even date herewith (“Recognition Agreement”) whereby, among other things, Landlord has agreed to recognize the rights of first refusal of PSX as and when PSX exercises a right of first refusal of Tenant’s leasehold interest as to a particular Demised Property in accordance with the terms of the Recognition Agreement. The Recognition Agreement is intended to run with the Demised Properties the same as if the terms of the Recognition Agreement were set forth in full in this Lease (until the Recognition Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms), and any successor, assignee or transferee of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, including any partial assignment of this Lease effected under Section 30.01 of this Lease, shall be deemed to have knowledge of and to assume and take subject, as applicable, to the respective rights, duties and obligations of Landlord and PSX under the Recognition Agreement. This Article may not be amended without the express consent of PSX, and any attempted amendment without such consent shall be void. PSX shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Article and entitled to enforce the terms hereof.

ARTICLE 40 CALIFORNIA PROVISIONS

Section 40.01 Effect of Waivers. Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby waives the benefits of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

Section 40.02 Eminent Domain. The provisions of this Lease, including those in Article 12, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant that applies in the event there is any taking of any part of the Demised Property for any public or quasi-public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof (collectively, “Condemnation”).

Section 40.05 Certified Access Specialist Inspection.

Section 40.06 Remedies. It is intended that Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4, which provides that, when a tenant has the right to sublet or assign, the landlord may continue the lease in effect after the tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due.

Tenant and Successor Landlord shall, however, confirm the provisions of this Article 3 in writing upon request by either of them within thirty (30) days of such request.

4. Protection of Successor Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or the Mortgage, Successor Landlord shall not be liable for or bound by any of the following matters:

a. Claims Against Former Landlord. Any Offset Right that Tenant may have against any Former Landlord, unless (i) such Offset Right arises after the date Mortgagee encumbers the Property with the Mortgage and (ii) Tenant shall have given written notice to Mortgagee of such Offset Right promptly upon Tenant’s actual knowledge of the occurrence of the event(s) giving rise to such Offset Right. The foregoing shall not limit either (x) Tenant’s right to exercise against Successor Landlord any Offset Right otherwise available to Tenant because of events occurring after the date of a Foreclosure Event or because of events occurring on or before the date of a Foreclosure Event, notice of which shall have been given to Mortgagee, or (y) Successor Landlord’s obligation to correct any conditions that existed as of the date of a Foreclosure Event that violate Successor Landlord’s obligations as landlord under the Lease.

b. Prepayments. Any payment of Rent that Tenant may have made to Former Landlord more than thirty (30) days before the date such Rent was first due and payable under the Lease with respect to any period after the date of a Foreclosure Event and Tenant’s receipt of notice of such Foreclosure Event other than, and only to the extent that, the Lease expressly required such a prepayment or such payment was delivered to Mortgagee or Successor Landlord.

c. Security Deposit; Representations and Warranties. Any obligation (i) with respect to any security deposited with Former Landlord, unless such security was actually delivered to Mortgagee or Successor Landlord; or (ii) arising from a breach by Former Landlord of representations and warranties contained in the Lease; or (iii) without in any way superseding subsection (a) above, to pay Tenant any sum(s) accrued prior to Successor Landlord becoming owner of the Property and owed to Tenant by Former Landlord, unless actually paid over to Successor Landlord.

d. Modification, Amendment or Waiver. Any modification or amendment of the Lease, or any waiver of the terms of the Lease, made without Mortgagee’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), excepting, however, commercially reasonable non-material amendments or modifications of the Lease (for the avoidance of doubt, such non-material modifications do not include any changes in the rights of any “Lender” as such term is defined in the Lease, reductions in rent, reductions in length of term, imposition of material obligations on Landlord or material reductions of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease) which are the result of good faith, arm’s length negotiations between Landlord and Tenant and of which Mortgagee receives prompt notice together with a copy of such amendment.

EXHIBIT B


e. Surrender, Etc. Any consensual or negotiated surrender, cancellation, or termination of the Lease, in whole or in part, agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant, unless effected unilaterally by Tenant pursuant to the express terms of the Lease.

f. Construction Obligations. Successor Landlord shall not be bound by any provision in the Lease which obligates Landlord to erect or complete any building or to make any improvements to the Property, but shall be subject to any offset or termination rights Tenant may have on account of Landlord’s failure to erect or complete any improvements to the Property.

5. Exculpation of Successor Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Lease, Successor Landlord’s obligations and liability under the Lease shall never extend beyond Successor landlord’s (or its successors’ or assigns’) interest, if any, in the Property from time to time, including without limitation insurance and condemnation proceeds, security deposits, escrows, Successor Landlord’s interest in the Lease, and the proceeds from any sale, lease or other disposition of the Property (or any portion thereof) by Successor Landlord (collectively, the “Successor Landlord’s Interest”). Tenant shall look exclusively to Successor Landlord’s Interest (or that of its successors and assigns) for payment or discharge of any obligations of Successor Landlord under the Lease as affected by this Agreement. If Tenant obtains any money judgment against Successor Landlord with respect to the Lease or the relationship between Successor Landlord and Tenant, then Tenant shall look solely to Successor Landlord’s Interest (or that of its successors and assigns) to collect such judgment. Tenant shall not collect or attempt to collect any such judgment out of any other assets of Successor Landlord. Nothing set forth in this paragraph shall be construed to limit Tenant’s equitable remedies, including specific performance and injunctive relief.

6. Casualty and Condemnation. Mortgagee agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of the Mortgage or any instrument secured by the Mortgage, any insurance proceeds and any condemnation awards which may be received by any party hereto and which relate to the Property shall be used or disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Lease.

7. Mortgagee’s Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or this Agreement, before exercising any Offset Right or Termination Right:

a. Notice to Mortgagee. Tenant shall provide Mortgagee with notice of the breach or default by Landlord giving rise to same (the “Default Notice”) and, thereafter, the opportunity to cure such breach or default as provided for below.

b. Mortgagee’s Cure Period. After Mortgagee receives a Default Notice, Mortgagee shall have a period of thirty (30) days under the Lease in which to cure the breach or default by Landlord. Mortgagee shall have no obligation to cure (and, without limiting anything contained in Section 4(a) above, shall have no liability or obligation for not curing) any breach or default by Landlord, except to the extent that Mortgagee agrees or undertakes otherwise in writing. In addition, as to any breach or default by Landlord the cure of which requires possession and control of the Property, if Mortgagee undertakes such cure or causes such cure to be commenced by a receiver within the period permitted by this paragraph, and so long as Mortgagee continues to or causes a receiver to diligently and in good faith cure such breach or default, Mortgagee’s cure period shall continue for such additional time (but in any event not to exceed 90 days in the aggregate) as Mortgagee may reasonably require to either (i) obtain possession and control of the Property with due diligence and thereafter cure the breach or default with reasonable diligence and continuity; or (ii) obtain the appointment of a receiver and give such receiver a reasonable period of time in which to cure the default. Nothing set forth in this paragraph shall limit Tenant’s offset rights or rights to cure a breach or default and receive any reimbursement to which it is entitled under the Lease.
