Exhibits:




     1. Granting Clause. In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay rent as herein
provided and in consideration of the other terms, covenants, and conditions hereof, Landlord
leases to Tenant, and Tenant takes from Landlord, the Premises, to have and to hold for the
Lease Term, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.



     2. Acceptance of Premises. Tenant is in possession of the Premises and has accepted the
condition thereof. Tenant accepts the Premises in its condition, subject to all applicable
laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants and restrictions. Landlord has made no
representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s
business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the Premises are suitable for
Tenant’s intended purposes. In no event shall Landlord have any obligation for any defects
in the Premises or any limitation on its use.



     3. Use. The Premises shall be used only for any use currently being made of the Premises as
of the date of this Lease and for no other purpose without Landlord’s prior written consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant will use the Premises in a careful, safe
and proper manner and will not commit waste, overload the floor or structure of the Premises
or subject the Premises to use that would damage the Premises. Tenant shall not permit any
objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise, or vibrations to emanate from the
Premises, or take any other action that would constitute a public nuisance under Illinois law or
would disturb, unreasonably interfere with, or endanger Landlord or the surrounding owners or
occupants. So long as Tenant continues any use being made of the Premises as of the date of
this Lease, Tenant shall, at its expense, make any alterations or modifications, within or
without the Premises, which are required by any ordinances, regulations, codes, statutes or
laws now or hereafter applicable to the Premises in connection with said uses. Landlord shall
have no obligation to make any changes to the Premises in connection with such uses by
Tenant. Tenant will not use or permit the Premises to be used for any purpose or in any
manner that would void Tenant’s or Landlord’s insurance, increase the insurance risk, or
cause the disallowance of any sprinkler credits. If any such increase in the cost of
any insurance on the Premises is caused by Tenant’s use or occupation of the Premises, or
because Tenant vacates the Premises, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such increase to
Landlord.



     4. Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Base Rent in the amount set forth above. The first month’s
Base Rent and the Security Deposit, shall be due and payable on the date hereof, and Tenant
promises to pay to Landlord in advance, without demand, deduction or set-off, monthly
installments of Base Rent on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the
Commencement Date. Payments of Base Rent for any fractional calendar month shall be
prorated. All payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (or to such other
party as Landlord may from time to time specify in writing) shall be made by Electronic Fund
Transfer (“EFT”) of



- 1 -









 





immediately available federal funds before 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at such place, within
the continental United States, as Landlord may from time to time designate to Tenant in writing.
The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of
Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. Tenant shall have no right at any time to
abate, reduce, or set-off any rent due hereunder except as may be expressly provided in this Lease.
If Tenant is delinquent in any monthly installment of Base Rent for more than 5 days, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to four (4%) percent of such delinquent sum. The
provision for such late charge shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies
hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as a penalty.



     5. Net Lease. It is the purpose and intent of Landlord and Tenant that the Base Rent shall
be absolutely net to Landlord, so that this Lease shall yield net to Landlord monthly Base Rent and
that all costs, expenses and obligations of every kind and nature whatsoever relating to the
Premises which may arise or become due during the Term shall be paid by Tenant directly or
reimbursed to Landlord upon receipt of Landlord’s statement thereof.



     6. Security Deposit. Intentionally Omitted.



     7. Utilities. Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, electricity, heat, light, power,
telephone, sewer, sprinkler services, refuse and trash collection, and other utilities and
services serving the Premises, all maintenance charges for utilities, and any storm sewer
charges or other similar charges for utilities imposed by any governmental entity or utility
provider, together with any taxes, penalties, surcharges or the like pertaining to Tenant’s use of
the Premises. No interruption or failure of utilities shall result in the termination of this
Lease or the abatement of rent, other than if said interruption or failure is caused by
Landlord’s gross negligence or intentional acts.



     8. Impositions. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent an amount equal to all general
real estate taxes and special assessments, if any, levied against the Premises, or any part
thereof, which accrue during the Lease Term, including such taxes which accrue during the
Lease Term but are due and payable after the expiration of the Lease Term; provided, however,
that Landlord shall pay all such tax bills prior to the due date thereof, subject to
receiving reimbursement from Tenant as provided herein. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord monthly deposits in an amount equal to one twelfth
(1/12th) of the prior years real
estate tax bills. Said real estate tax payments shall be reconciled upon receipt of the
second installment real estate tax bills for each year of the Lease Term. If the monthly
deposits made by Tenant are less than the actual tax bills for any year of the Lease Term,
then Tenant shall pay such deficiency within fourteen (14) days after written demand from
Landlord, including any deficiencies for 2006 taxes whether or not such taxes accrued before
or after the Commencement Date. If the monthly deposits made by Tenant are greater than the
actual tax bills for any year of the Lease Term, then Tenant shall be entitled to a credit
against the next monthly deposit due hereunder, or, if for tax bills received after the end
of the Lease Term, Landlord shall pay such excess amount to Tenant within fourteen (14) days
after written demand from Tenant.



     In addition, Tenant shall pay the general real estate tax bills levied against the Premises,
or any part thereof, for the second installment of 2005 and the first installment of 2006 when
said tax bills become due, notwithstanding that said taxes will have accrued for periods prior to
the commencement of the Lease Term.



     In addition, Tenant shall not less than five (5) days prior to the due date pay as additional
rent any and all special taxes and assessments, water rates and all other impositions, ordinary
and extraordinary, of every kind and nature whatsoever, which accrue or may be levied, assessed or
imposed upon the Premises, or any part thereof, or any ad valorem taxes for any personal property
used in connection therewith, which Landlord shall be required to pay, accruing or becoming due
and payable during the term of this Lease (such real estate taxes and water bills are hereafter
referred to as the “Impositions”). Tenant shall provide Landlord evidence of payment of the
Impositions within three (3) days of Landlord’s request therefor.



     If at any time during the term of this Lease the method of taxation prevailing at the
commencement of the term hereof shall be altered so that any new tax, assessment, levy, imposition
or charge, or any part thereof, shall be measured by or be based in whole or in part upon the
Lease or Premises, or the Base Rent, additional rent or other income therefrom and shall be
imposed upon the Landlord, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges, or
the part thereof, to the extent that they are so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included
within the term Impositions for the purposes hereof, to the extent that such Impositions would be
payable if the Premises were the only property of Landlord subject to such Impositions, and Tenant
shall pay and discharge the same as herein provided in respect of the payment of Impositions.
There shall be excluded from Impositions all federal or state income taxes, federal or state
excess profit taxes, franchise, capital stock and federal or state estate or inheritance taxes of
Landlord.



     In addition to the taxes described above, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay prior
to delinquency any and all taxes, whether or not customary or now within the contemplation of the
parties hereto (i) levied against, upon, measured by or reasonably attributable to Tenant’s
equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises or any leasehold
improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, regardless of whether title to such
improvements shall be in Landlord or Tenant, or levied upon, measured by or reasonably attributable
to cost or value of any of the foregoing; (ii) levied upon or with respect to the possession,
leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the
Premises or any portion thereof; or (iii) levied upon this transaction or any document to which
Tenant is a party creating or transferring any interest or an estate in the Premises. Upon demand
by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord satisfactory evidence of payment thereof.

     9. Insurance. Landlord shall maintain all risk property insurance covering the full
replacement cost of the Building. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other
insurance and additional coverages as it may deem necessary, including, but not limited to,
commercial liability insurance and rent loss insurance. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
the cost of all such insurance within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord’s
statement thereof. The Building may be included in a blanket policy (in which case the cost
of such insurance allocable to the Building will be determined by Landlord based upon the
insurer’s cost calculations). Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for any increased
premiums or additional insurance which Landlord reasonably deems necessary as a result of
Tenant’s use of the Premises.



          Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain during the Lease Term such insurance as reflected in
the certificates of insurance provided by Tenant to Landlord on the date of this Lease. The
commercial liability insurance shall name Landlord as an additional insured. Tenant shall deliver
updated certificates for such insurance to Landlord upon each renewal of said insurance.




          The all risk property insurance obtained by Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver of
subrogation by the insurers and all rights based upon an assignment from its insured, against
Landlord or Tenant, their officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and
contractors, in connection with any loss or damage thereby insured against. Neither party nor its
officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees or contractors shall be liable to the
other for loss or damage caused by any risk coverable by all risk property insurance, and each
party waives any claims against the other party, and its officers, directors, employees, managers,
agents, invitees and contractors for such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its
property shall not void this waiver. Landlord and its agents, employees and contractors shall not
be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against such parties for, business interruption
and losses occasioned thereby sustained by Tenant or any person claiming through Tenant resulting
from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises from any cause whatsoever, including
without limitation, damage caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the negligence of
Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors.




     10. Landlord’s Repairs. Intentionally Omitted.



     11. Tenant’s Repairs. Subject to Paragraphs 9 and 15, Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain
the entire interior and exterior of the Building and shall repair, replace and maintain in
good condition all portions of the Premises interior, exterior, and all parking areas,
improvements and systems including, without limitation, dock and loading areas, truck doors,
plumbing, water and sewer lines, fire sprinklers and fire protection systems, entries, doors,
ceilings, windows, interior walls, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Such
repair and replacements include capital expenditures and repairs whose benefit may extend
beyond the Term. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems and other mechanical
and building systems serving the Premises shall be maintained at Tenant’s expense pursuant to
maintenance service contracts entered into by Tenant or, at Landlord’s election, by Landlord.
The scope of services and contractors under such maintenance contracts shall be
reasonably approved by Landlord. If Tenant fails to perform any repair or replacement for
which it is responsible, Landlord may perform such work and be reimbursed by Tenant within 10
days after demand therefor. Subject to Paragraphs 9 and 15, Tenant shall bear the full cost
of any repair or replacement to any part of the Building.



     12. Tenant-Made Alterations and Trade Fixtures. Any alterations, additions, or
improvements made by or on behalf of Tenant to the Premises after the date of this Lease
(“Tenant-Made Alterations”) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant
shall cause, at its expense, all Tenant-Made Alterations to comply with insurance
requirements and with Legal Requirements and shall construct at its expense any alteration or
modification required by Legal Requirements as a result of any Tenant-Made Alterations. All
Tenant-Made Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors
reasonably acceptable to Landlord and only good grades of materials shall be used. All
plans and specifications for any Tenant-Made Alterations shall be submitted to Landlord for
its approval. Landlord may monitor construction of the Tenant-Made Alterations. Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for its costs in reviewing plans and specifications and in
monitoring construction. Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor
construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to see that
such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable laws, codes, rules and
regulations. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the identities and mailing addresses of
all persons performing work or supplying materials, prior to beginning such construction, and
Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to
applicable law. Tenant shall furnish security or make other arrangements satisfactory to
Landlord to assure payment for the completion of all work free and clear of liens and shall
provide certificates of insurance for worker’s compensation and other coverage in amounts and
from an insurance company satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liability for
personal injury or property damage during construction. Upon completion of any Tenant-Made
Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord sworn statements setting forth the names of all
contractors and subcontractors who did work on the Tenant-Made Alterations and final lien
waivers from all such contractors and subcontractors. Upon surrender of the Premises, all
Tenant-Made Alterations and any leasehold improvements constructed by Landlord or Tenant
after the date of this Lease shall remain on the Premises as Landlord’s property, except to
the extent Landlord requires removal at Tenant’s expense of any such items or Landlord and
Tenant have otherwise agreed in writing in connection with Landlord’s consent to any
Tenant-Made Alterations. Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal. Upon
surrender of the Premises, any improvements to the Premises made by Tenant prior to the date of
this Lease shall remain on the Premises as Landlord’s property.



          Tenant, at its own cost and expense and without Landlord’s prior approval, may erect such
shelves, bins, machinery and trade fixtures (collectively “Trade Fixtures”) in the ordinary course
of its business provided that such items do not alter the basic character of the Premises, do not
overload or damage the Premises, and may be removed without injury to the Premises, and the
construction, erection, and installation thereof complies with all




- 3 -









 




Legal Requirements and with Landlord’s requirements set forth above. Upon surrender of the
Premises, Tenant shall remove its Trade Fixtures and shall repair any damage caused by such
removal.




     13. Signs. Tenant shall not make any changes to the exterior of the Premises, install any
exterior lights, decorations, balloons, flags, pennants, banners, or painting, or erect or
install any signs, windows or door lettering, placards, decorations, or advertising media of
any type which can be viewed from the exterior of the Premises, without Landlord’s prior
written consent. Upon surrender or vacation of the Premises, Tenant shall have removed all
signs, other than monument signs, which shall remain in place, and repair, paint, and/or replace
the building facia surface to which its signs are attached. Tenant shall obtain all
applicable governmental permits and approvals for sign and exterior treatments. All signs,
decorations, advertising media, blinds, draperies and other window treatment or bars or other
security installations visible from outside the Premises, other than such items in place as
of the date of this Lease, shall be subject to Landlord’s approval and conform in all respects to
Landlord’s requirements.



     14. Parking. Intentionally Omitted.



     15. Restoration. If at any time during the Lease Term the Premises are damaged by a fire or
other casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant within 60 days after such damage as to the
amount of time Landlord reasonably estimates it will take to restore the Premises. If the
restoration time is estimated to exceed 6 months, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to
terminate this Lease upon notice to the other party given no later than 30 days after
Landlord’s notice. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease or if Landlord estimates that
restoration will take 6 months or less, then, subject to receipt of sufficient insurance
proceeds, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises excluding the improvements installed
by Tenant or by Landlord and paid by Tenant, subject to delays arising from the collection of
insurance proceeds or from Force Majeure events. Tenant at Tenant’s expense shall promptly
perform, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, or from Force Majeure
events, all repairs or restoration not required to be done by Landlord and shall promptly
re-enter the Premises and commence doing business in accordance with this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate this Lease if the Premises are
damaged during the last year of the Lease Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it will
take more than one month to repair such damage. Base Rent shall be abated for the period of repair
and restoration in the proportion which the area of the Premises, if any, which is not usable
by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises. Such abatement shall be the sole remedy
of Tenant, and except as provided herein, Tenant waives any right to terminate the Lease by
reason of damage or casualty loss.



     16. Condemnation. If any part of the Premises should be taken for any public or quasi-public
use under governmental law, ordinance, or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by
private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking” or “Taken”), and the Taking would prevent or
materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises or in Landlord’s judgment would
materially interfere with or impair its ownership or operation of the Premises, then upon
written notice by Landlord this Lease shall terminate and Base Rent shall be apportioned as
of said date. If part of the Premises shall be Taken, and this Lease is not terminated as
provided above, the Base Rent payable hereunder during the unexpired Lease Term shall be
reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under the circumstances. In the event
of any such Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any
such Taking without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord
Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award. Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that
same shall not diminish Landlord’s award, to make a separate claim against the condemning
authority (but not Landlord) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or
recoverable by Tenant for moving expenses and damage to Tenant’s Trade Fixtures, if
a separate award for such items is made to Tenant.



     17. Assignment and Subletting. Without Landlord’s prior written consent, Tenant shall not
assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof or mortgage, pledge, or
hypothecate its leasehold interest or grant any concession or license within the Premises and
any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be void and of no effect. For purposes of this
paragraph, a transfer of the ownership interests controlling Tenant shall be deemed an
assignment of this Lease unless such ownership interests are publicly traded. Notwithstanding the
above, Tenant may assign or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, to any entity
controlling Tenant, controlled by Tenant or under common control with Tenant (a “Tenant
Affiliate”), without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for all of Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with any assignment or
sublease. Upon Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice of a desire to assign or sublet the
Premises, or any part thereof (other than to a Tenant Affiliate), Landlord may, by giving
written notice to Tenant within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s notice, terminate this
Lease with respect to the space described in Tenant’s notice, as of the date specified in
Tenant’s notice for the commencement of the proposed assignment or sublease.



          Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease shall at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the
payment of the rent and for compliance with all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease
(regardless of whether Landlord’s approval has been obtained for any such assignments or
sublettings). In the event that the rent due and payable by a sublessee or assignee (or a
combination of the rental payable under such sublease or assignment plus any bonus or other
consideration therefor or incident thereto) exceeds the rental payable under this Lease, then
Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord as additional rent hereunder all such excess
rental and other excess consideration within 10 days following receipt thereof by Tenant.




          If this Lease be assigned or if the Premises be subleased (whether in whole or in part) or in
the event of the mortgage, pledge, or hypothecation of Tenant’s leasehold interest or grant of any
concession or license within the Premises or if the Premises be occupied in whole or in part by
anyone other than Tenant, then upon a default by Tenant hereunder Landlord may collect rent from
the assignee, sublessee, mortgagee, pledgee, party to whom the leasehold interest was
hypothecated, concessionee or licensee or other occupant and, except to the extent




- 4 -









 




set forth in the preceding paragraph, apply the amount collected to the next rent payable
hereunder; and all such rentals collected by Tenant shall be held in trust for Landlord and
immediately forwarded to Landlord. No such transaction or collection of rent or application
thereof by Landlord, however, shall be deemed a waiver of these provisions or a release of Tenant
from the further performance by Tenant of its covenants, duties, or obligations hereunder.




     18. Indemnification. Except for the negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees or
contractors, and to the extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Landlord, and Landlord’s agents, employees and contractors, from and against any and
all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting
from claims by third parties for injuries to any person and damage to or theft
or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the Premises. The furnishing
of insurance required hereunder shall not be deemed to limit Tenant’s obligations under this
Paragraph 18.



     19. Inspection and Access. Landlord and its agents, representatives, and contractors may
enter the Premises at any reasonable time to inspect the Premises and to make such repairs as
may be required or permitted pursuant to this Lease and for any other business purpose.
Landlord and Landlord’s representatives may enter the Premises during business hours for the
purpose of showing the Premises to prospective purchasers and, during the last year of the
Lease Term, to prospective tenants. Landlord may erect a suitable sign on the Premises stating
the Premises are available to let or that the Project is available for sale. Landlord may
grant easements, make public dedications, designate common areas and create restrictions on
or about the Premises, provided that no such easement, dedication, designation or restriction
materially interferes with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises. At Landlord’s request,
Tenant shall execute such instruments as may be necessary for such easements, dedications
or restrictions.



     20. Quiet Enjoyment. If Tenant shall perform all of the covenants and agreements herein
required to be performed by Tenant, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of this Lease, at all
times during the Lease Term, have peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Premises against any
person claiming by, through or under Landlord.



     21. Surrender. Upon termination of the Lease Term or earlier termination of Tenant’s right
of possession, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as
received, broom clean, ordinary wear and tear and casualty loss and condemnation covered by
Paragraphs 15 and 16 excepted. Any Trade Fixtures, Tenant-Made Alterations and property not
so removed by Tenant as permitted or required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be
stored, removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant waives all
claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlord’s retention and disposition of
such property. All obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed as of the termination
of the Lease Term shall survive the termination of the Lease Term, including without
limitation, indemnity obligations, payment obligations with respect to Impositions and
obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.



     22. Holding Over. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the termination of the
Lease Term, unless otherwise agreed in writing, such possession shall be subject to immediate
termination by Landlord at any time, and all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease
(excluding any expansion or renewal option or other similar right or option) shall be
applicable during such holdover period, except that Tenant shall pay Landlord from time to
time, upon demand, as Base Rent for the holdover period, an amount equal to double the Base Rent in
effect on the termination date, computed on a monthly basis for each month or part thereof
during such holding over, as full compensation for any damages which may be incurred by
Landlord as a result of such holding over. All other payments shall continue under the terms
of this Lease. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall
operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided, and this Paragraph 22
shall not be construed as consent for Tenant to retain possession of the Premises. For
purposes of this Paragraph 22, “possession of the Premises” shall continue until, among other
things, Tenant has delivered all keys to the Premises to Landlord, Landlord has complete and
total dominion and control over the Premises, and Tenant has completely fulfilled all
obligations required of it upon termination of the Lease as set forth in this Lease, including,
without limitation, those concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.



     23. Events of Default Each of the following events shall be an event of default (“Event of
Default”) by Tenant under this Lease:




     (i) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent or any other payment
required herein when due, and such failure shall continue for a period of 5 days from the date such
payment was due.




     (ii) Tenant or any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall (A)
make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (B) commence any case, proceeding
or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as a debtor or to
adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts or seeking appointment of a
receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or of any
substantial part of its property (collectively a “proceeding for relief); (C) become the
subject of any proceeding for relief which is not dismissed within 60 days of its filing or
entry; or (D) die or suffer a legal disability (if Tenant, guarantor, or surety is an
individual) or be dissolved or otherwise fail to maintain its legal existence (if Tenant,
guarantor or surety is a corporation, partnership or other entity).




     (iii) Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall
be cancelled or terminated or shall expire or shall be reduced or materially changed,
except, in each case, as permitted in this Lease.



- 5 -









 






     (iv) Tenant shall attempt or there shall occur any assignment, subleasing or other
transfer of Tenant’s interest in or with respect to this Lease except as otherwise
permitted in this Lease.




     (v) Tenant shall fail to discharge any lien placed upon the Premises in violation of
this Lease within 30 days after any such lien or encumbrance is filed against the Premises.




     (vi) Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this Lease other than those
specifically referred to in this Paragraph 23, and except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, such default shall continue for more than 30 days after Landlord shall have given
Tenant written notice of such default.



     24. Landlord’s Remedies. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such
Event of Default shall be continuing for more than five (5) days after Landlord has given
notice of said default to Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter at its election:
terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, (but Tenant shall remain liable as
hereinafter provided) and/or pursue any other remedies at law or in equity. Upon
the termination of this Lease or termination of Tenant’s right of possession, it shall be
lawful for Landlord, with such demand or notice as is required by this Lease and Illinois
law, to re-enter the Premises by forcible entry and detainer proceedings or any other action
or proceeding authorized by law and to remove Tenant and all persons and property therefrom.
If Landlord re-enters the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to keep in place and use, or
remove and store, all of the furniture, fixtures and equipment at the Premises.



          If Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant the sum of: all Base Rent
and all other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of such termination; the cost of reletting the
whole or any part of the Premises, including without limitation brokerage fees and/or leasing
commissions incurred by Landlord, and costs of removing and storing Tenant’s or any other
occupant’s property, repairing, altering, remodeling, or otherwise putting the Premises into
condition acceptable to a new tenant or tenants, and all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord
in pursuing its remedies, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs; and the excess of
the then present value of the Base Rent and other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease as
would otherwise have been required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during the period following the
termination of this Lease measured from the date of such termination to the expiration date stated
in this Lease, over the present value of any net amounts which Tenant establishes Landlord can
reasonably expect to recover by reletting the Premises for such period, taking into consideration
the availability of acceptable tenants and other market conditions affecting leasing. Such present
values shall be calculated at a discount rate equal to the 90-day U.S. Treasury bill rate at the
date of such termination.




          If Landlord terminates Tenant’s right of possession (but not this Lease), Landlord shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises for the account of Tenant for such rent and
upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord without thereby releasing Tenant from any
liability hereunder and without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant. For the purpose of such
reletting Landlord is authorized to make any repairs, changes, alterations, or additions in or to
the Premises as Landlord deems reasonably necessary or desirable. If the Premises are not relet,
then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the amount of the rental reserved in
this Lease for such period or periods, plus the cost of recovering possession of the Premises
(including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit), the unpaid Base Rent and other amounts accrued
hereunder at the time of repossession, and the costs incurred in any attempt by Landlord to relet
the Premises. If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from such
reletting [after first deducting therefrom, for retention by Landlord, the unpaid Base Rent and
other amounts accrued hereunder at the time of reletting, the cost of recovering possession
(including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit), all of the costs and expense of repairs, changes,
alterations, and additions, the expense of such reletting (including without limitation brokerage
fees and leasing commissions) and the cost of collection of the rent accruing therefrom] to
satisfy the rent provided for in this Lease to be paid, then Tenant shall immediately satisfy and
pay any such deficiency. Any such payments due Landlord shall be made upon demand therefor from
time to time and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due from
time to time. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time
thereafter elect in writing to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.




          Exercise by Landlord of any one or more remedies hereunder granted or otherwise available
shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises and/or a termination of this
Lease by Landlord, whether by agreement or by operation of law, it being understood that such
surrender and/or termination can be effected only by the written agreement of Landlord and Tenant.
Any law, usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the right at all
times to enforce the provisions of this Lease in strict accordance with the terms hereof; and the
failure of Landlord at any time to enforce its rights under this Lease strictly in accordance with
same shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the
specific terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease or as having modified the same. Tenant and
Landlord further agree that forbearance or waiver by Landlord to enforce its rights pursuant to
this Lease or at law or in equity, shall not be a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce one or
more of its rights in connection with any subsequent default. A receipt by Landlord of rent or
other payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of
such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been
made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. Tenant waives all right of redemption in
case Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge. The terms
“enter,” “re-enter,” “entry” or “re-entry,” as used in this Lease, are not restricted to their
technical legal meanings. Any reletting of the Premises shall be on commercially reasonable terms
and conditions. Landlord shall not be liable, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be
diminished because of, Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or collect rent due in respect of
such reletting.




     25. Tenant’s Remedies/Limitation of Liability. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder
unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within 30 days after
written notice from Tenant specifying



- 6 -









 




such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period
of time in excess of 30 days, then after such period of time as is reasonably necessary). All
obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and, except as
may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach
of Landlord’s obligations hereunder. All obligations of Landlord under this Lease will be binding
upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not thereafter. The term
“Landlord” in this Lease shall mean only the owner, for the time being of the Premises, and in the
event of the transfer by such owner of its interest in the Premises, such owner shall thereupon be
released and discharged from all obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, but such obligations
shall be binding during the Lease Term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner’s
ownership. Any liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited solely to its interest in
the Project, and in no event shall any personal liability be asserted against Landlord in
connection with this Lease nor shall any recourse be had to any other property or assets of
Landlord.




     26. Waiver of Jury Trial. TENANT AND LANDLORD WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO
HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR
OTHERWISE, BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT,
DOCUMENT, OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATED HERETO.



     27. Subordination. This Lease and Tenant’s interest and rights hereunder are and shall be
subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any first mortgage, now existing or
hereafter created on or against the Project or the Premises, and all amendments,
restatements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, refinancing, assignments and
extensions thereof, without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of
Tenant, provided however, that the holder of any such first mortgage shall not disturb the
tenancy of Tenant, provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease. Tenant agrees, at
the election of the holder of any such mortgage, to attorn to any such holder. Tenant agrees
upon demand to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments, confirming such
subordination, provided such subordination agreement shall contain an agreement of non-disturbance
by the mortgagee with respect to Tenant, provided that Tenant is not in default under this
Lease, and such instruments of attornment as shall be requested by any such holder and are
agreeable to Landlord and Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such holder 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, delivery or recording and in that event such holder
shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed
prior to the execution, delivery and recording of such mortgage and had been assigned to such
holder. The term “mortgage” whenever used in this Lease shall be deemed to include deeds of
trust, security assignments and any other encumbrances, and any reference to the “holder” of
a mortgage shall be deemed to include the beneficiary under a deed of trust.



     28. Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant has no express or implied authority to create or place any lien
or encumbrance of any kind upon, or in any manner to bind the interest of Landlord or Tenant
in, the Premises or to charge the rentals payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any
person dealing with Tenant, including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for
any construction or repairs. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid
all sums legally due and payable by it on account of any labor performed or materials
furnished in connection with any work performed on the Premises and that it will save and
hold Landlord harmless from all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of asserted
claims or liens against the leasehold estate or against the interest of Landlord in the
Premises or under this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord immediate written notice of
the placing of any lien or encumbrance against the Premises and cause such lien or
encumbrance to be discharged within 60 days of the filing or recording thereof; provided,
however, Tenant may contest such liens or encumbrances as long as such contest prevents
foreclosure of the lien or encumbrance and Tenant causes such lien or encumbrance to be
bonded or insured over in a manner satisfactory to Landlord within such 60 day period.



     29. Estoppel Certificates. Tenant agrees, from time to time, within 10 days after request
of Landlord, to execute and deliver to Landlord, or Landlord’s designee, any estoppel
certificate requested by Landlord, stating that this Lease is in full force and effect, the
date to which rent has been paid, that Landlord is not in default hereunder (or specifying in
detail the nature of Landlord’s default), the termination date of this Lease and such
other matters pertaining to this Lease as may be requested by Landlord. Tenant’s obligation
to furnish each estoppel certificate in a timely fashion is a material inducement for
Landlord’s execution of this Lease. No cure or grace period provided in this Lease shall
apply to Tenant’s obligations to timely deliver an estoppel certificate. Tenant hereby
irrevocably appoints Landlord as its attorney in fact to execute on its behalf and in its name any
such estoppel certificate if Tenant fails to execute and deliver the estoppel certificate
within 10 days after Landlord’s written request thereof.



     30. Environmental Requirements. Except for Hazardous Material contained in products used
by Tenant in its manufacturing processes or in de minimis quantities for ordinary cleaning
and office purposes, Tenant shall not permit or cause any party to bring any Hazardous
Material upon the Premises or transport, store, use, generate, manufacture or release any
Hazardous Material in or about the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant,
at its sole cost and expense, shall operate its business in the Premises in strict compliance with
all Environmental Requirements and shall remediate in a manner satisfactory to Landlord any
Hazardous Materials released on or from the Premises during the Lease Term or otherwise
released on or from the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants or
invitees. Tenant shall complete and certify to disclosure statements as requested by Landlord
from time to time relating to Tenant’s transportation, storage, use, generation, manufacture
or release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises. The term “Environmental Requirements”
means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes,
judgments, orders or other similar enactments of any governmental authority or agency
regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions on, under, or about the
Premises or the environment, including without limitation, the following: the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act; and all



- 7 -









 




state and local counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies promulgated or issued
thereunder. The term “Hazardous Materials” means and includes any substance, material, waste,
pollutant, or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic, under any Environmental
Requirements, asbestos and petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas
liquids, liquified natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and
such synthetic gas). As defined in Environmental Requirements, Tenant is and shall be deemed to be
the “operator” of Tenant’s “facility” and the “owner” of all Hazardous Materials brought on the
Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, and the wastes, by-products, or
residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom.




          Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses
(including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises and loss of rental income
therefrom), claims, demands, actions, suits, damages (including, without limitation, punitive
damages), expenses (including, without limitation, remediation, removal, repair, corrective action,
or cleanup expenses), and costs (including, without limitation, actual attorneys’ fees, consultant
fees or expert fees and including, without limitation, removal or management of any asbestos
brought into the property or disturbed in breach of the requirements of this Paragraph 30,
regardless of whether such removal or management is required by law) which are brought or
recoverable against, or suffered or incurred by Landlord as a result of any release of Hazardous
Materials for which Tenant is obligated to remediate as provided above or any other breach of the
requirements under this Paragraph 30 by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants,
assignees or invitees, regardless of whether Tenant had knowledge of such noncompliance. The
obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 30 shall survive any termination of this Lease.




          Landlord shall have access to, and a right to perform inspections and tests of, the Premises
to determine Tenant’s compliance with Environmental Requirements, its obligations under this
Paragraph 30, or the environmental condition of the Premises. Access shall be granted to Landlord
upon Landlord’s prior notice to Tenant and at such times so as to minimize, so far as may be
reasonable under the circumstances, any disturbance to Tenant’s operations. Such inspections and
tests shall be conducted at Landlord’s expense, unless such inspections or tests reveal that
Tenant has not complied with any Environmental Requirement, in which case Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for the reasonable cost of such inspection and tests. Landlord’s receipt of or
satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights that Landlord holds
against Tenant.




     31. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease Term and any
extension thereof, comply with all reasonable rules and regulations at any time or from time
to time established by Landlord covering use of the Premises. The current rules and
regulations are attached hereto. In the event of any conflict between said rules and
regulations and other provisions of this Lease, the other terms and provisions of this
Lease shall control.



     32. Security Service. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is not providing any
security services with respect to the Premises and that Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant for, and Tenant waives any claim against Landlord with respect to, any loss by theft
or any other damage suffered or incurred by Tenant in connection with any unauthorized entry
into the Premises or any other breach of security with respect to the Premises.



     33. Force Majeure. Landlord shall not be held responsible for delays in the performance of
its obligations hereunder when caused by strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God,
inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental
restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental controls, delay in issuance of permits,
enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, and other
causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (“Force Majeure”).



     34. Entire Agreement. This Lease constitutes the complete agreement of Landlord and Tenant
with respect to the subject matter hereof. No representations, inducements, promises or
agreements, oral or written, have been made by Landlord or Tenant, or anyone acting on behalf
of Landlord or Tenant, which are not contained herein, and any prior agreements, promises,
negotiations, or representations are superseded by this Lease. This Lease may not be
amended except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto.



     35. Severability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or
unenforceable under present or future laws, then and in that event, it is the intention of
the parties hereto that the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby. It is
also the intention of the parties to this Lease that in lieu of each clause or provision of
this Lease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there be added, as a part of this Lease, a
clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or
provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.



     36. Brokers. Tenant represents and warrants that it has dealt with no broker, agent or other
person in connection with this transaction and that no broker, agent or other person brought
about this transaction, other than the broker, if any, set forth on the first page of this
Lease, and Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims
by any other broker, agent or other person claiming a commission or other form of
compensation by virtue of having dealt with Tenant with regard to this leasing transaction.



     37. Miscellaneous. (a) Any payments or charges due from Tenant to
Landlord hereunder shall be considered rent for all purposes of this Lease.



     (b) If and when included within the term “Tenant,” as used in this instrument, there is more
than one person, firm or corporation, each shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of
Tenant.



- 8 -









 





     (c) All notices required or permitted to be given under this Lease shall be in writing and
shall be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by a reputable
national overnight courier service, postage prepaid, or by hand delivery addressed to the
parties at their addresses below, and with a copy sent to Landlord at 14100 East 35th
Place, Aurora, Colorado 80011. Either party may by notice given aforesaid change its address
for all subsequent notices. Except where otherwise expressly provided to the contrary,
notice shall be deemed given upon delivery.



     (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease or as otherwise required by law, any
consent or approval required of Landlord hereunder shall not be unreasonably withheld by
Landlord.



     (e) At Landlord’s request from time to time Tenant shall furnish Landlord with true and
complete copies of its most recent annual and quarterly financial statements prepared by
Tenant or Tenant’s accountants and any other financial information or summaries that Tenant
typically provides to its lenders or shareholders.



     (f) Neither this Lease nor a memorandum of lease shall be filed by or on behalf of Tenant in
any public record. Landlord may prepare and file, and upon request by Landlord Tenant will
execute, a memorandum of lease.



     (g) The normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved
against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Lease or any
exhibits or amendments hereto.



     (h) The submission by Landlord to Tenant of this Lease shall have no binding force or
effect, shall not constitute an option for the leasing of the Premises, nor confer any right or impose any
obligations upon either party until execution of this Lease by both parties.



     (i) Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held and construed to include any other
gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise
requires. The captions inserted in this Lease are for convenience only and in no way define, limit
or otherwise describe the scope or intent of this Lease, or any provision hereof, or in any way
affect the interpretation of this Lease.



     (j) Any amount not paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after its due date in accordance
with the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from such due date until paid in full at the lesser of the
highest rate permitted by applicable law or 15 percent per year. It is expressly the intent of
Landlord and Tenant at all times to comply with applicable law governing the maximum rate or
amount of any interest payable on or in connection with this Lease. If applicable law is ever
judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any interest called for under this Lease, or
contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to this Lease, then it is
Landlord’s and Tenant’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Landlord
be credited on the applicable obligation (or, if the obligation has been or would thereby be paid
in full, refunded to Tenant), and the provisions of this Lease immediately shall be deemed
reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the necessity of the
execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the
recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder.



     (k) Construction and interpretation of this Lease shall be governed by the laws of the state
in which the Premises is located, excluding any principles of conflicts of laws.



     (l) Time is of the essence as to the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.



     (m) All exhibits and addenda attached hereto are hereby incorporated into this Lease and made
a part hereof. In the event of any conflict between such exhibits or addenda and the terms of this
Lease, such exhibits or addenda shall control.



     (n) In the event either party hereto initiates litigation to enforce the terms and provisions
of this Lease, the non-prevailing party in such action shall reimburse the prevailing party for
its reasonable attorney’s fees, filing fees, and court costs.



     (o) This Lease may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which will be deemed an
original, but together will constitute one instrument. Each party may rely upon a facsimile or
”.pdf” counterpart of this Lease signed by the other party with the same effect as if such party
had received an original counterpart signed by such other party.



     38. Landlord’s Lien/Security Interest. Intentionally omitted.



     39. Limitation of Liability of Trustees, Shareholders, and Officers of ProLogis. Any
obligation or liability whatsoever of ProLogis, a Maryland real estate investment trust,
which may arise at any time under this Lease or any obligation or liability which may be
incurred by it pursuant to any other instrument, transaction, or undertaking contemplated
hereby shall not be personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be
had to the property of, its trustees, directors, shareholders, officers, employees or agents,
regardless of whether such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort, or
otherwise.

ADDENDUM
2




ONE RENEWAL OPTION




ATTACHED TO AND A PART OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT

DATED JULY 14, 2006, BETWEEN




ProLogis

and

John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc.




     (a) Provided that as of the time of the giving of the Extension Notice and the Commencement
Date of the Extension Term, (x) Tenant is the Tenant originally named herein, (y) Tenant
actually occupies all of the Premises initially demised under this Lease and any space added
to the Premises, and (z) no Event of Default exists or would exist but for the passage of
time or the giving of notice, or both; then Tenant shall have the right to extend the
Lease Term for an additional term of at least 3 months, but not more than 9 months (such
additional term is hereinafter called the “Extension Term”) commencing on the day following
the expiration of the Lease Term (hereinafter referred to as the “Commencement Date of
the Extension Term”). Tenant shall give Landlord notice (hereinafter called the
“Extension Notice”) of its election to extend the term of the Lease Term at least 6 months, but not
more than 12 months, prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term.



     (b) The Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord during the Extension Term shall be the Base
Rent applicable to the last year of the initial Lease term. The Base Rent shall not be
reduced by reason of any costs or expenses saved by Landlord by reason of Landlord’s not
having to find a new tenant for such premises (including, without limitation, brokerage
commissions, costs of improvements, rent concessions or lost rental income during any vacancy
period).



     (c) The payment of Base Rent does not reduce the Tenant’s obligation to pay or reimburse
Landlord for reimbursable items as set forth in the Lease, and Tenant shall reimburse and pay
Landlord as set forth in the Lease with respect to such items with respect to the Premises
during the Extension Term without regard to any cap on such expenses set forth in the Lease.



     (d) Except for the Base Rent as provided above, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises during the
Extension Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior
to the expiration of the initial Lease Term; provided, however, Tenant shall have no further
right to any allowances, credits or abatements or any options to expand, contract, renew or
extend the Lease.



     (e) If Tenant does not give the Extension Notice within the period set forth in paragraph (a)
above, Tenant’s right to extend the Lease Term shall automatically terminate. Time is of the
essence as to the giving of the Extension Notice.



     (f) Landlord shall have no obligation to refurbish or otherwise improve the Premises for the
Extension Term. The Premises shall be tendered on the Commencement Date of the Extension Term
in “as-is” condition.



     (g) If the Lease is extended for the Extension Term, then Landlord shall prepare and Tenant
shall execute an amendment to the Lease confirming the extension of the Lease Term and the
other provisions applicable thereto (the “Amendment”).



     (h) If Tenant exercises its right to extend the term of the Lease for the Extension Term
pursuant to this Addendum, the term “Lease Term” as used in the Lease, shall be construed to
include, when practicable, the Extension Term except as provided in (d) above.
