TO: City of South Bend Redevelopment Commission
FROM: Debrah Jennings - Cl Staff
SUBJECT: Lease 119 S. Michigan St. / Yummy Cupcakes
Yummy Cupcakes, franchise owner Lawrence Katz has submitted a proposal to lease space located at 119
S. Michigan St. in the South Bend Central Development Area (SBCDA) with the following terms.
Synopsis of Proposed Lease:
• Lease Term five (5) years, with the option of two— five year lease renewals;
• Initial rent is $8.00 per sq. ft., totaling $4,800.00 for six months of year one (due to 180 day rent
commencement clause in proposal) and $9,600.00 year 2 -5;
• Common Area Maintenance and real estate tax will be billed at $5.53 per sq. ft. totaling
$3,318.00 for six months of year one and $6,636.00 year 2 -5;
• Tenant will take procession of space in "as is condition";
• Owner will provide three (3) parking permits for Leighton Parking garage at no cost to tenant and
(3) parking permits at a reduced rate of $30.00 each per month.
The proposed lease will produce $73,062.00 during the 5 year lease agreement. The Commission will
incur $14,400.00 for parking over the 5 year lease. If executed, the lease will net $58,662.00 during the 5
year lease period. The proposed lease will have private investment in the Michigan Street shop space of
$24,000.00 (estimated $20.00 psf. @ 1200 sf )

was not paying. Community Investment is in support of this national retail business locating in
Downtown South Bend and believes the business is a good fit for the Michigan Street shops.
In order to execute the Yummy Cupcakes lease the Commission will have to approve the termination of
lease requested by the Downtown SBPD. The Commission may then approve the proposed lease with
Yummy Cupcakes.
Upon approval of this agreement, Redevelopment Retail will continue to maintain 100% occupancy.

either as a waiver of the Event of Default or of any other right or remedy of Landlord with respect to such Event of
Default or as a waiver of any term or condition of this Lease. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.2(a)

continue to be obligated for future Base Rent and Additional Rent as the same comes due under this Lease. In this
event, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises.
(d) Rent Minus Fair Market Value. Landlord may declare immediately due and payable from Tenant,
in addition to any damages or other amounts becoming due from Tenant under any other provision of this Lease, an
amount equal to the difference between the Base Rent and Additional Rent reserved in this Lease from the date of

12.3. Subordination.
(a) Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time -to -time to create security interests in the
form of a mortgage, deed of trust or other similar lien or encumbrance (a "Mortgage ") upon or affecting Landlord's
fee estate in the Premises, or any part thereof, and the rights of Tenant under this Lease shall be subject and
subordinate to any such Mortgage; provided, however, that in the event of any foreclosure or sale under any such
Mortgage or the delivery by Landlord of any deed -in -lieu of foreclosure to the holder of any such Mortgage, then
the holder of any such Mortgage agrees not to disturb Tenant's possession so long as Tenant is not in default under
the terms of this Lease beyond any notice and/or cure periods provided for under this Lease and attorns to such
holder or the foreclosure purchaser as Landlord under this Lease. Said subordination shall be self - operative and no
further instrument of subordination shall be necessary unless required by any such Mortgage holder, in which event
Tenant agrees to, within ten (10) days after request by Landlord or the Mortgage holder, execute any agreement
reasonably required by such Mortgage holder to memorialize said subordination and to memorialize the terms of any
related agreements between Tenant and such Mortgage holder. Any holder of any of any such Mortgage is herein
referred to as "Landlord's Mortgagee(s)." Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Landlord's Mortgagee may at any time
subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease without Tenant's consent by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this
Lease shall be deemed prior to such Mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution and delivery and,
in that event, such Landlord's Mortgagee shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though it had been
executed prior to the execution and delivery of any such Mortgage and had been assigned to such Landlord's
Mortgagee.
(b) This Lease shall be subject to and subordinate to all easements, restrictions, liens, encumbrances,
rights -of -way, or other matters affecting the Premises of record.
