hereof.



     C. In the event that Tenant and Landlord enter into the New Lease (as defined hereinafter) and

     Section 3.3 Redevelopment/Construction of New Premises.



     A. Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that it is the intention of the Landlord to redevelop the
Real Estate during the term of this Lease, which redevelopment may include the construction of new
premises for the Tenant to lease, which new premises may be either a free standing building, an
end-cap in a strip of retail stores or ground floor space in a multi-story
office/retail/residential building (the “New Premises”). The New Premises (i) shall contain between

lease for the New Premises shall be twenty-five (25) years and shall include the following
provisions, as well as such other lease provisions that are mutually acceptable to Tenant and
Landlord: (a) an option, in favor of Tenant, to terminate the lease at any time after the first
five Lease Years (defined hereinafter) of the lease term upon giving the Landlord thereunder at
least six (6) full months written notice; provided that if Tenant exercises said termination
option, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the unamortized cost of the Allowance (defined below)
(amortized on a straight line basis over 25 years); (b) the rental at the Prevailing Market Rental
Rate (defined hereinafter); (c) two percent (2%) rent increases during each Lease Year of the lease

90 days after the possession date of the New Premises to allow Tenant to perform its leasehold
improvements, fixture and open for business before it is obligated to begin paying rent.



- 2 -









 





     Tenant acknowledges that as part of the Landlord’s redevelop of the Real Estate during the
term of this Lease, the Landlord shall have the right, at the Landlord’s sole cost and expense and
without the Tenant’s consent, to change the area, level, location and arrangement of the common
areas of the Real Estate; to build multi-story parking facilities and other buildings, or to remove
same; to close all or any portion of said common areas or facilities to such extent as may be
necessary to perform said redevelopment; to change the area, level, location, arrangement or use of
improvements located on the Real Estate, common area or any part thereof; construct other
buildings, structures, or improvements on the Real Estate or the common area and making alterations
thereof, additions thereto, subtractions therefrom, or rearrangements thereof. Landlord’s rights
under this paragraph may be performed so long as same does not materially and adversely impact the
ability of the Tenant to conduct its business in the Premises as it is presently conducted and
Tenant continues to have the right to park on those portions of the common area that are not being
redeveloped.



     B. So long as Tenant has not assigned its interest in this Lease to a third party that is
operating the Premises for a use that is not a bank, and once the Landlord has received preliminary
approval of a new site plan of the Real Estate from the Village, the Landlord shall submit to
Tenant a written offer to lease the New Premises, which offer shall reflect (i) the terms and
conditions set forth in paragraph A above, (ii) the Prevailing Market Rental Rate, as determined by
Landlord and (iii) shall include a site plan of the Real Estate showing the location of the New
Premises (the “Offer”).



     C. So long as the Offer is given to the Tenant by the second (2nd) Tuesday of any
month, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of whether or not Tenant desires to lease the
New Premises pursuant to the Offer within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Offer. If the Offer
is given to the Tenant after the second (2nd) Tuesday of any month, Tenant shall give
written notice to Landlord of whether or not Tenant desires to lease the New Premises pursuant to
the Offer within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Offer.



     If (i) Tenant elects not to exercise its right to lease the New Premises, as set forth in the
Offer, (ii) Tenant fails to give written notice within said thirty (30) day period (or sixty [60]
day period, as the case may be), or (iii) Tenant fails to execute the New Lease within the time
period set forth in subsection D below, then Landlord may thereafter lease the New Premises to a
third party at such rental and subject to such terms as it may choose, without further notice to
Tenant and free of any right of Tenant (except as set forth in subsection D below), and Landlord
shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Tenant; such
termination to be effective on the 90th day following the date of service of such
notice.



     D. If Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord, under paragraph C above, that Tenant desires
to lease the New Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall commence good faith negotiations for a lease
for the New Premises and shall enter into a written lease (the “New Lease”) within sixty (60) days
of Tenant’s notice under paragraph C above. In the event that Tenant fails to execute the New Lease
for said New Premises on or before the expiration of said sixty (60) day period and said failure is
not due to the fault of the Landlord, then Landlord shall be free thereafter to lease the New
Premises to a third party at such rental and subject to such terms as it may choose, without notice
to Tenant and free of any right and liability of Tenant, provided that the rent payable by said
third party is no less than ninety (90%) percent of the Prevailing Market Rental Rate. If the rent
payable by said third party is less than ninety (90%)



- 3 -









 




percent of the Prevailing Market Rental Rate, or should the Landlord fail to lease the New Premises
within three hundred sixty five (365) days after the date of the Offer, then before executing a
lease for the New Premises with a third party, Landlord shall give Tenant another written notice
that the New Premises is available for lease (i.e. another offer, consistent with the provisions of
Section 3.3 B. hereof) and Tenant shall, once again, have the rights set forth in this Section 3.3.




     If Tenant does not agree with the Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Market Rental
Rate, then, as part of written notice it gives to Landlord pursuant to paragraph C above, Tenant
shall advise Landlord of same and during the thirty (30) day period following Tenant’s notice to
Landlord, Landlord and Tenant agree to use good faith efforts to arrive at a “Prevailing Market
Rental Rate” that is mutually acceptable to each of them. If, during said thirty (30) days, the
parties are unable to mutually agree on the amount of said Prevailing Market Rental Rate, then both
Tenant and Landlord shall mutually select a third party Illinois real estate leasing broker (the
“Third Party Broker”) familiar with the retail leasing market in the Village and surrounding
communities area to determine said Prevailing Market Rental Rate. If the parties are unable to
mutually agree on said Third Party Broker, then both Tenant and Landlord shall each select an
Illinois real estate leasing broker familiar with the retail leasing market in the Village and
surrounding communities area and the two brokers shall then select the Third Party Broker to make
such determination. The Third Broker’s determination of the Prevailing Market Rental Rate shall be
conclusive and binding on both Tenant and Landlord hereunder. Each party shall pay the costs and
expenses, if any, of their broker and the cost of the Third Broker shall be shared equally between
Tenant and Landlord.



     E. The “Building Permit” shall mean the building permit the Landlord receives from the Village
in order to construct the New Premises in accordance with the new lease executed between Tenant and
Landlord for the New Premises.



     F. In the event that Tenant and Landlord enter into the New Lease for the New Premises, and
Landlord has not elected to relocate the Premises as provided for in Section XXIII hereof, and the
New Premises are not available for Tenant’s occupancy before the Term of this Lease expires,
Landlord and Tenant shall extend the Term of this Lease for periods of time (each extension to be
for a period of at least 90 days) to allow Landlord and Tenant to complete the construction, and
fixturing of the New Premises and for Tenant to open for business.



     G. In the event that Tenant and Landlord do not enter into the New Lease for the New Premises,
the Term of this Lease shall expire as set forth in Section 3.1 above.



     Section 3.4 Lease Year. The term “Lease Year”, as hereinafter referred to, means a period of
twelve (12) consecutive calendar months, commencing on the first day of the month following the
Commencement Date. Each succeeding Lease Year shall commence upon the anniversary date of the first
Lease Year. The phrase “Lease Term” or “Term of this or the Lease” as used herein shall include all
full Lease Years.

Commencement Date to the last day of the calendar month that the Commencement Date occurs;




     (b) Thirteen Thousand Ninety and 67/100 Dollars ($ 13,090.67) payable on the first day

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, and beginning on the
Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the right to abate Minimum Rent, Taxes (as defined
hereinafter) and CAM Costs (as defined hereinafter) in the aggregate amount of $200,000.00 (the
“Rent Abatement”). In the event that Tenant has not realized the entire amount of the Rent

then Tenant shall have the right to apply the unused Rent Abatement (the “Unused Rent Abatement”)
against its obligation to pay rent and additional rent (i) under the New Lease or (ii) for the
temporary facility, if any, pursuant to Article XXIII hereof.




ARTICLE V




Real Estate Taxes and CAM Costs




     Section 5.1 Tax and Other Charges. Commencing on the Commencement Date, and subject to
Section 5.3 hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the following items:



- 5 -









 





     A. Taxes. Fifty (50%) percent of all taxes and assessments, general and special, and all other
impositions, ordinary and extraordinary, of every kind and nature whatsoever which may be levied,
assessed or imposed upon the Real Estate (collectively the “Taxes”); provided that Taxes levied
against the Real Estate shall be prorated between Landlord and Tenant for the first year of the
term hereof as of the Commencement Date. Said Taxes shall be reasonably apportioned in accordance
with the total rentable floor area of the Premises as it relates to the total rentable floor area
of the Building.



     Upon the sooner to occur of (a) the date another tenant occupies the Building and (b) the
first day of the twenty fifth (25th) calendar month following the Commencement Date,
the Tenant shall pay Landlord its share of said Taxes as reasonably apportioned in accordance with
the total rentable floor area of the Premises as it relates to the total rentable floor area of
the Building.



     Tenant’s obligation for Taxes under this subsection A. shall be paid to Landlord on a monthly
basis and in an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord (with a reconciliation when the actual
real estate tax bill is issued).



     B. Common Area. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 hereinafter, and so long as Tenant is
the only occupant of the Building, one hundred (100%) percent of the total cost of the following
items (“CAM Costs”):




     (i) all insurance premiums for fire, extended coverage, public liability and any other
insurance that Landlord deems necessary for the Building and the Real Estate;




     (ii) all costs to operate, maintain and repair the sidewalks, driveways, parking

including all snow removal and scavenger costs, including all utility costs therefore;
provided that Landlord shall be responsible, at its cost, to replace said items;




     (iii) all costs to operate, maintain and repair the area used in common by the tenants
or occupants of the Building, including stairways, hallways, elevators, escalators,
lobbies, bathrooms, windows, doors, heating and electrical equipment, air conditioning

Landlord shall be responsible, at its cost, to replace said items; and




     (iv) any surcharges or any other costs or expenses levied, assessed or imposed by or
at the direction of or resulting from statutes or regulations or interpretations thereof,
promulgated by any governmental authority in connection with the use or occupancy of the
Premises.



     Upon the request of Tenant, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a list, certified by Landlord to
be true and correct, of all such CAM Costs.



     Section 5.2 Payments. Within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall
submit to Tenant a statement of the anticipated monthly CAM Costs for the period between the
Commencement Date and the following December 31st, and Tenant shall pay same on a monthly basis
concurrently with the payment of rent. Tenant shall continue to make said monthly payments




- 6 -









 







until notified by Landlord of a change thereof. By March 1st of each calendar year, or as soon as
practical thereafter, Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant a statement showing the total CAM
Costs for the prior calendar year and Tenant’s allocable share thereof, prorated, during the first
year of the term, from the Commencement Date. In the event the total of the monthly payments which
Tenant has made for the prior calendar year is less than Tenant’s actual share of such CAM Costs,
then Tenant shall pay the difference in one lump sum within ten (10) days after receipt of such
statement from Landlord and shall concurrently pay the difference in monthly payments made in the
then calendar year and the amount of monthly payments which are then calculated as monthly CAM
Costs based on the prior year’s experience. Any overpayment by Tenant shall be credited towards
the monthly CAM Costs next coming due. The actual CAM Costs for the prior year shall be used for
purposes of calculating the anticipated monthly CAM Costs for the then current year, with actual
determination of such CAM Costs after each calendar year as above provided, except that in any
year in which resurfacing of the parking area or driveways is contemplated Landlord shall be
permitted to include the anticipated cost of same as part of the estimated monthly CAM Costs.
Though the term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is
made of Tenant’s share of said CAM Costs for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall
pay, within ten (10) days after written statement from Landlord to Tenant, any increase due over
the estimated CAM Costs previously paid and, conversely, any overpayment made shall be rebated
within ten (10) days by Landlord to Tenant. Failure of Landlord to submit statements as called for
herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Tenant’s requirement to pay sums as herein provided.




     Section 5.3 Tenant to Perform. Until the sooner to occur of (a) the date another tenant
occupies the Building and (b) the first day of the twenty fifth (25th) calendar month
following the Commencement Date, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall perform the
obligations of the Landlord with regard to the operation, maintenance and repair of the Real
Estate and Building as set forth in Section 5.1 B. (i) through (iv) above and Tenant, not
Landlord, shall pay 100% of all CAM Costs incurred as a result thereof.



     Beginning on the sooner to occur of (a) and (b) above, the Landlord shall perform the
obligations with regard to the operation, maintenance and repair of the Real Estate and Building,
as set forth in Section 5.1 B. (i) through (iv) above, and the Tenant shall pay Landlord, on a
monthly basis and in an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord (with a year end reconciliation)
its share of said CAM Costs, which CAM Costs shall be reasonably apportioned in accordance with
the total rentable floor area of the Premises as it relates to the total rentable floor area of
the Building; provided that from and after the date Landlord takes over the obligation for the
operation, maintenance and repair of the Real Estate and Building (as set forth in Section 5.1 B.
(i) through (iv) above), Landlord shall have the right to include in said CAM Costs an
administrative fee equal to four (4%) percent of the gross rent and charges received by Landlord
from all tenants of the Real Estate.



     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the Landlord shall be
responsible for all replacement costs with regard to the Real Estate and the Building, except as
set forth in Section 8.1 B hereof.

conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.



     B. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises nor bring or
keep anything therein which will in any way increase the existing rate or affect any fire or other

permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or allow to be committed
any waste in or upon the Premises. Tenant shall keep the Premises in a clean and wholesome

all industrial standards and all statutes, regulations, ordinances and laws for such storage
promulgated by any governmental authority; and that no such storage or use will otherwise be
allowed on the Premises which will cause, or which will increase the likelihood of causing, the
release of such substances onto the Premises; and (3) that Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord
as soon as Tenant knows or suspects that a toxic or hazardous substance has been released on the
Premises.




          E. Tenant represents to Landlord that as of the Commencement Date of this Lease, the Building
and Real Estate is in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. § 12101

employees or invitees, or by unauthorized breaking and entering, in which event Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the cost of such repair, replacement and maintenance. Landlord shall have no obligation

Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. All alterations, additions, and improvements

Tenant until Tenant has furnished Landlord with a satisfactory certificate from an insurance
company acceptable to Landlord evidencing workman’s compensation coverage and insurance coverage in
amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and protecting Landlord against public liability and
property damage to any person or property on or off the Premises arising out of and during the
making of such alteration, addition or improvement. Any alteration, addition or improvement by

against the leasehold estate of Tenant and shall in all respects be subject and subordinate to the
paramount title and rights of Landlord in and to the Premises. Tenant will not permit the Premises
to become subject to any mechanics’, laborers’ or materialmen’s lien on account of labor or
material furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to Tenant in connection with work of

trustee under a mortgage or trust deed on the Building against any liability arising out of the
ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises in a combined single limit of not less
than $2,000,000 for bodily injury and/or property damage. The limits of such insurance shall not

     In the event the Premises are damaged by fire, or other perils covered by extended
coverage insurance, Landlord agrees forthwith to repair them, and this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of the Minimum
Rent from the date of damage and while such repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction

terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other. If any part of the
Premises are so taken (and neither part elects to terminate as herein provided), the Minimum Rent
thereafter to be paid shall be equitably reduced. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any rights
in or to any award made to the other by the condemning authority, and Tenant shall have the right,
at it own cost and expense, to prove and obtain a separate claim for any damages resulting from
such condemnation, including for the loss or damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures and personal
property and for damages for loss of use of the Premises and/or interruption of Tenant’s business

otherwise encumber all or any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises, and
shall not sublet all or any part of the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord in
each instance, and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance, subletting or
license without such consent shall be wholly void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may
assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises subject to the following conditions:
(1) the net worth of such assignee or sublessee shall be equal to or more than that of Tenant; (2)
that Tenant at such time is not in default hereunder; and (3) that Tenant and assignee or
sublessee shall execute an instrument wherein said assignee or sublessee fully assumes all of the
obligations and liabilities imposed upon Tenant.



- 13 -









 





     No such subletting or assignment shall act to relieve Tenant of any of its obligations to pay
the rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder, unless
the Landlord consents to release Tenant from liability. Consent to one assignment, subletting or
other transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting
or other transfer.



     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XIV, a transfer of this
Lease shall not include, nor shall the consent of Landlord be necessary for an assignment, transfer
or sublease (of 100% of the Premises) of this Lease or Tenant’s interest in the Premises if the
transferee is:




	 	(a)	 	an affiliate or subsidiary of Tenant;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Tenant’s parent corporation;
	 
	 	(c)	 	a subsidiary of Tenant’s parent corporation; or
	 
	 	(d)	 	an entity that is the successor to Tenant by way of reorganization, merger,
consolidation, sale of assets or a controlling interest in stock;





     (all of such transferees are individually referred to hereinafter as “corporate transferee”)
so long as (i) Tenant is not in default (beyond any applicable cure period) of this Lease, (ii)
Tenant gives Landlord notice of such transfer, (iii) Tenant remains liable under the Lease (except
to extent relieved by operation of law), and (iv) the use of the Premises remains the same.

each other for any loss insured (or required to be insured under this Lease) by fire, extended
coverage and other property insurance policies existing for the benefit of the respective parties.
Each party shall obtain from its insurer said waivers and shall secure any special endorsements if
required by its insurer to comply with this provision.



ARTICLE XVI




Subordination; Attornment; Estoppel; Quiet Enjoyment




     Section 16.1 Subordination. The rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease shall be
subject and subordinate to any mortgage or trust deed that may hereafter be placed upon the
Building or Real Estate and to any and all advances to be made thereunder, and to the interest
thereon, and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof, if the mortgagee or trustee named
in said mortgage or trust deed shall elect to subject and subordinate the rights and interest of
Tenant under this Lease to the lien of its mortgage or trust deed. If the mortgagee or trustee
named in said mortgage or trust deed so elects to subject and subordinate the rights and interest
of Tenant under this Lease to the lien of its mortgage or trust deed, such subordination shall be
upon the express condition that the validity of this Lease shall be recognized by said mortgagee or
trustee and that notwithstanding any default,



- 14 -









 




foreclosure or other action claimed or action taken by said mortgagee or trustee, Tenant shall not
be named as a defendant and Tenant’s possession and right of use under this Lease in and to the
Premises shall not be disturbed unless and until Tenant shall breach any of the provisions under
this Lease and this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession hereunder shall have been terminated in
accordance with the provisions of this Lease. Any mortgagee or trustee may elect to give the
rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease priority over the lien of its mortgage or trust
deed. In the event of either such election and upon notification by such mortgagee or trustee to
Tenant to that effect, the rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease shall be deemed to be
subordinate to, or to have priority over, as the case may be, the lien of said mortgage or trust
deed, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said mortgage or trust
deed. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever instruments may be reasonably required for such
purposes.




     Section 16.3 Quiet Enjoyment. Upon paying the rent reserved herein and observing and
performing all of the provisions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant
shall have quiet possession of the Premises during the entire term of this Lease.



     Section 16.4 Estoppel Certificate. Within ten (10) days after request therefor by Landlord or
in event that upon any sale, assignment, or hypothecation of the Premises and/or the Real Estate by
Landlord an estoppel certificate shall be required from Tenant, Tenant agrees to deliver a
certificate to any proposed mortgagee or purchaser, or to Landlord, certifying that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or if modified, that the same is in full force and effect
as modified, and stating the modifications), that there are no defenses or offsets thereto (or
stating those claimed by Tenant), the dates to which rent have been paid, and such other reasonable
matters as Landlord or other such party shall request.



ARTICLE XVII




Default; Remedies




     Section 17.1 Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default
and breach of this Lease by Tenant:



     A. Any failure by Tenant to pay the rent or any other monetary sums required to be paid
hereunder where such failure continues after ten (10) days’ notice by Landlord to Tenant;



     B. The abandonment or vacating of the Premises by Tenant for a period in excess of thirty (30)
days;



     C. A failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision of this Lease to be observed
or performed by Tenant, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof by Landlord to Tenant, provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that
the same cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed
to be in default if Tenant shall within such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently
prosecutes the same to completion;



     D. The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of
creditors, the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt



- 15 -









 




or of a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless,
in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); the
appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets
located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to
Tenant within sixty (60) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this
Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within sixty (60) days.




     Section 17.2 Remedies. In the event of any such default or breach by Tenant, Landlord may at
any time thereafter, in addition to any right or remedy at law or in equity which Landlord may
have by reason of such default or breach:



     A. Terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right of possession to the Premises, and recover all
damages to which Landlord is entitled under law, specifically including, without limitation, rent
for the balance of the term, all Landlord’s expenses of reletting (including repairs, alterations,
improvements, additions, decorations, legal fees and brokerage commissions); or



     B. Terminate Tenant’s right of possession to the Premises without terminating this Lease, in
which event Landlord shall use its best efforts to relet the Premises, or any part thereof for the
account of Tenant, for such rent and term and upon such terms and conditions as are acceptable to
Landlord.



     For purposes of such reletting, Landlord is authorized to decorate, repair, alter and improve
the Premises to the extent reasonably necessary. If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum not
be realized therefrom after payment of all Landlord’s expenses of reletting (including repairs,
alterations, improvements, additions, decorations, legal fees and brokerage commissions) to satisfy
the payment when due of rent reserved under this Lease for each such monthly period, or if, after
Landlord attempts to mitigate its damages, the Premises have not been relet, Tenant shall pay any
such deficiency monthly. Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums due to
Landlord hereunder from time to time and that such suit or recovery of any amount due Landlord
hereunder shall not be a defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not theretofore
reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord. In the event Landlord elects, pursuant to this section,
to terminate Tenant’s right of possession only without terminating this Lease, Landlord may, at
Landlord’s option, enter into the Premises, remove Tenant’s signs and other evidences of tenancy,
and take and hold possession thereof; provided, such action shall not terminate this Lease or
release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant’s obligation to pay the rent reserved hereunder
for the term or from any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease. Any and all property which
may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the authority of the Lease or of law, to
which Tenant is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the risk, cost
and expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or
safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all expenses incurred in
such removal and all storage charges against such property so long as the same shall be in
Landlord’s possession or under Landlord’s control. Any such property of Tenant not retaken from
storage by Tenant within sixty (60) days after the end of the term, however terminated, shall be
conclusively presumed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease by bill of sale
without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant. Any default by Tenant of any term or
condition hereof other than the payment of sums due hereunder may be restrained or enforced by
injunction.



- 16 -









 





     Section 17.3 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to
perform obligations required of it within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty
(30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or
trust deed covering the Premises if such name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to
Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligations; provided
that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required
for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within
such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.



ARTICLE XVIII

the redevelopment of the Real Estate, as contemplated in Section 3.3 hereof, no such modifications
or changes shall materially reduce the total amount of the common areas and shall not change
Tenant’s right of ingress and egress to and from the Premises.



     Section 18.2 Subject to Section 5.3 hereof, Landlord shall keep said common areas in a neat,

and subtenants, to use said common areas during the entire term of this Lease.

rules and regulations as Landlord may adopt from time to time for the orderly and proper operation
of said common areas.



ARTICLE XIX

     During the term of this Lease, Tenant may maintain its existing signs on the Real Estate or
replace said signs with like sized signs at the same locations. Tenant may affix and maintain, upon
the exterior walls of the Premises, the Building and the Real Estate, such signs as exist as of the
Commencement Date and shall not place any additional signs on the Real Estate or the Premises
without first having received the written approval of Landlord as to type, size, color and
location. Tenant may not affix any sign to the roof of the Building.

ARTICLE XX




Holding Over




     If Tenant retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof after termination of
the term by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall pay Landlord as monthly rent during the
period that Tenant so holds over, a Minimum Rent equal to double the Minimum Rent paid by Tenant
during the calendar month preceding the termination of the Lease for each month or part thereof
that Tenant thus remains in possession, and in addition thereto, Tenant shall pay Landlord all and
other charges due from Tenant as well as all damages sustained by reason of Tenant’s retention of
possession. The provisions of this paragraph do not exclude the Landlord’s right of re-entry or
any other right hereunder. Landlord may treat any Tenant hold over as a default, herein.

security purposes only, then so long as the successor assumes all of Landlord’s obligations under
this Lease, including, but not limited to, the obligations set forth in Section 3.3 and Articles
XXII and XXIII hereof, Landlord shall be relieved of all obligations and liabilities accruing
thereafter on the part of Landlord provided that any funds in the hands of Landlord at the time of
transfer in which Tenant has an interest shall be delivered to Landlord’s successor.



     Except as otherwise expressly provided, all provisions of this Lease (including the
obligations set forth in Sections 3.3 and Article XXII hereof) shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their legal representatives, successors and assigns.



     Section 21.3 Captions; Attachments; Defined Terms. The captions of the paragraphs of this

and Tenant relative to the Premises and supersedes any prior agreements or representations,

against the other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Lease, including any suit by
Landlord for the recovery of rent or possession of the Premises, the losing party shall pay the
successful party a reasonable sum for attorneys’ fees which shall be deemed to have accrued on the
commencement of such action and shall be paid whether or not such action is prosecuted to
judgment.



     Section 21.8 Time. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and every provision hereof.



     Section 21.9 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

or the breach of any covenant, term or condition shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any

     Section 21.15 Recordation. Either Landlord or Tenant may record this Lease or a memorandum of
this Lease, which memorandum shall contain reference to the Re-Zoning Premium, as set forth in
Article XXII below, as well as any other provision of this Lease that Tenant, or Landlord,

ARTICLE XXII




Re-Zoning Premium




     During the Term of this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have the right to
seek Village approval to re-zone the Real Estate (the “Re-Zoning”) to permit the construction
thereon of (i) 85,000 square feet or more of leasable (“GLA”) retail space (the “Retail Project”)
or (ii) a multi-story office/retail/residential building (the “Mixed Use Project”). During the
Re-Zoning process, Tenant shall cooperate with the Landlord and shall execute and deliver such
documents and instruments as are reasonably necessary to implement said re-zoning, and to
otherwise act favorably toward Landlord during said Re-Zoning process.



     If, within three (3) years of the date of this Lease, the Village re-zones the Real Estate
for the Landlord’s Retail Project, and said Retail Project contains 85,000 square feet or more of
retail GLA, then Landlord shall pay Tenant the sum of $500,000.00 (the “Re-Zoning Premium”) within
thirty (30) days of the date the re-zoning becomes law pursuant to the Village; provided that if

Relocation




     In the event that Tenant and Landlord enter into the New Lease and in order to construct the
New Premises, it is necessary for Landlord to demolish the Building, then Landlord shall have the
right to relocate the Tenant to another temporary ground level location either (i) on the Real
Estate, or (ii) within a one mile radius of the Real Estate. In the event the Landlord exercises
its right to relocate the Tenant, as provided for herein, it shall give the Tenant at least sixty
(60) days prior written notice and shall provide the Tenant with a temporary ground level facility
within which Tenant can conduct its business, which temporary ground level facility (a) may be a
ground level trailer or other temporary ground level building, in-line or out parcel retail space
in a shopping center or other business area and (b) shall include sufficient parking spaces, all
of which will comply with local law.



     In the event Landlord elects to relocate the Tenant to a temporary ground level facility, the
Landlord will pay the actual and direct, out-of-pocket, reasonable expenses of Tenant in moving
from the Premises to the temporary ground level facility and shall improve the temporary ground
level facility so that Tenant can conduct its businesses therein, on a temporary basis. Minimum
Rent for the temporary ground level facility shall be the lesser of (i) the rental cost Landlord
is obligated to pay to a third party in order to provide the temporary ground level facility to
Tenant or (ii) the Minimum Rent payable under this Lease and Landlord and Tenant shall execute an
amendment to this Lease confirming the relocation within thirty (30) days after either party shall
request same.



     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Tenant be
obligated to vacate the Premises, and relocate to the temporary ground level facility until said
temporary ground level facility is improved, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, so that Tenant can
conduct its businesses therein, on a temporary basis.
