attached hereto and incorporated by reference (the "Landlord's Parcel").
WHEREAS, Tenant desires to occupy, and Landlord is willing to provide Tenant such
Premises (as hereinafter defined) on the Landlord’s Parcel for Tenant’s use, as set forth in this
Lease.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, conditions, and other good
and valuable consideration of the parties hereto, it is covenanted and agreed as follows:
1.

2.

c.

In consideration of Landlord granting Tenant the Option, Tenant hereby agrees to pay
Landlord the non-refundable sum of one thousand five hundred ($1,500) within fifteen
(15) days of full execution of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant. The Option will be
for an initial term of twelve (12) months (the “Initial Option Term”) and may be
renewed by Tenant, at the election of Tenant, for an additional six (6) months

than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of the Initial Option Term. Landlord
shall provide a complete and accurate IRS form W9 to Tenant for the Payee of the
Option sum prior to payment thereof. Any option payments made to Landlord by
Tenant shall not be applicable to Rent.

Landlord.

4.

Term of Lease. In the event Tenant, in Tenant's sole discretion, exercises the Option, the
initial Lease term will be five (5) years (the “Initial Term”), commencing upon the

5.

Option to Renew. The Initial Term of this Lease shall automatically extend for up to five
(5) additional terms of five (5) years each (each, a “Renewal Term”), upon a continuation

time by giving Landlord written notice of the date of such termination (“Termination

change in property status. Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right to appeal any
such change in status or any increase in real estate assessment for the Leasehold Parcel or
Tenant’s Improvements, and Landlord will reasonably cooperate, but at no cost to
Landlord, with any such appeal by Tenant. Tenant shall only be responsible for property tax
reimbursements requested by Landlord within one (1) year of payment of such property
taxes by Landlord. Landlord’s requests to Tenant for reimbursement of such property
taxes should be addressed to:

Parcel. Tenant shall be entitled to take a credit against the Rent under this lease for any
such taxes paid by Tenant that exceed Tenant’s proportionate share thereof.

22. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants that Tenant shall have quiet and peaceable
possession of the Premises throughout the Initial Lease Term and any Renewal Term, if

enjoyment thereof as long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease.
23. Subordination and Non-Disturbance. Tenant agrees to subordinate this Lease to any
mortgage or trust deed which may hereafter be placed on the Premises, provided the
mortgagee or trustee thereunder shall ensure to Tenant the right to possession of the
Premises and other rights granted to Tenant herein so long as Tenant is not in default
beyond any applicable grace or cure period, such assurance to be in writing and otherwise
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenant. If requested by Tenant, Landlord

security interest in Landlord’s Parcel a non-disturbance agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.
24. Environmental Warranty. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that

Form AB-105 Instructions
Producer Full-Service Retail Sales Application
Who may apply for full-service retail sales?
Producer permittees may apply for full-service retail sales on or off the production premises. Producer permittees include
brewers, rectifiers, manufacturers, and wineries.

Who qualifies for full-service retail sales?
• A brewery that manufactures a minimum of 250 barrels of fermented malt beverages.
• A manufacturer/rectifier that produces a minimum of 1,500 liters of intoxicating liquor.
• A winery that produces a minimum of 1,000 gallons of wine.

What are full-service retail sales?
Permittees that are granted full-service retail sales privileges may:
• Sell fermented malt beverages and intoxicating liquor at retail for on- or off-premises consumption at their production
premises and at one or more off-site full-service retail outlets.
• Provide taste samples of fermented malt beverages and intoxicating liquor.

What are full-service retail outlets?
Full-service retail outlets are authorized locations for full-service retail sales at places other than the permittee’s production
premises.

What is the difference between a fixed and unlimited transfer full-service retail outlet?
Fixed full-service retail outlets may be transferred from one location to another once per year. Unlimited transfer full-service
retail outlets may be transferred an unlimited number of times in a year. Only one of a producer’s full-service retail outlets
may be transferred without limitation on frequency.

How many full-service retail outlets may I have?
The number of full-service retail outlets a producer qualifies for is determined by alcohol beverage production volume.
Producers may have a maximum of three full-service outlets, regardless of the number or type of producer permits they hold.

Who approves full-service retail sales?
Full-service retail sales on the production premises need only be approved by the Division of Alcohol Beverages. Municipalities
do not issue licenses for full-service retail sales outlets; however, municipalities must approve of the outlets. The applicant
must forward the municipal approval to the Division of Alcohol Beverages for final granting of the authority for sales to
commence on the premises.

Can a municipality limit authorized sales at a full-service retail outlet?
Yes, a municipality can limit authorized sales at a full-service retail outlet. Municipalities may limit the scope of alcohol
beverages offered for sale by the permittee. Municipal approval of a full-service retail outlet must be based on the same
standards and criteria, established by ordinance, for the evaluation and approval of retail licenses. A municipality may
not impose any requirement or restriction in connection with the approval that the municipality does not impose on retail
licensees.

How do I fill out Form AB-105 and begin the application process?
Authorizations requested on Form AB-105 must be applied for only one premises in one municipality at a time. To request
multiple authorizations, submit a separate Form AB-105 for each location/premises.
Parts A, B, and F: Applicants must complete Parts A, B, and F.
Parts C, D, and E: Complete only one Part. Form AB-105 must be used to request only one authorization at a time.
Example: A producer applicant requesting full-service retail sales authorization on the production premises should complete
Parts A, B, C, and F.
Example: A producer applicant requesting a fixed full-service retail outlet should complete Parts A, B, D, and F.
