LEASE




WILLIAMSBURG VILLAGE




Inverness, Illinois 60067




          THIS INDENTURE OF LEASE (the “Lease”) made the 1st day of April, 1993.



W I T  N E S S E T H




          LaSalle National Trust, N.A., as Trustee under a Trust Agreement dated January 15, 1993
and known as Trust Number 117628, owner of the land and improvements located at 1604 Colonial
Parkway, Inverness, Illinois (“Landlord”), agrees to lease to Royal American Bank, an Illinois
banking corporation (“Tenant”), whose address is 1604 Colonial Parkway, Inverness, IL 60067, and
Tenant agrees to lease from Landlord, that certain office space within the “Condominium Unit” (as
hereafter defined) shown and designated on the plan attached hereto as Exhibit A, commonly known as
Suite 100 (the “Premises”) in the building whose address is 1604 Colonial Parkway (the “Building”).
The Building is constructed on the property in the Village of Inverness, Cook County, Illinois,
which is legally described in Exhibit B, attached hereto, for a term commencing on the 1st day of
April, 1993, and ending on the 31st day of March, 1997, (the “Term”) , unless sooner terminated as
provided herein, subject to the agreements herein contained.



          In consideration thereof, Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree as follows:



          1.      CONDOMINIUM



                    (a)      A Declaration of Condominium Ownership (the
“Declaration”) of Williamsburg Village was recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of Cook
County, Illinois, on January 4, 1983, and thereupon the property within which the Premises are
located became subject to (i) the terms and provisions of the Declaration, (ii) the Condominium
Property Act of the State of Illinois (the “Act”), (iii) the By-Laws (the “By-Laws”) of the
Williamsburg Village Owners Association (the “Association”) and (iv) the rules and regulations of
the Association (the “Rules”). The Declaration, the Act, the By-Laws and the Rules, as from time to
time amended, are sometimes collectively called the “Condominium Documents”. Tenant acknowledges
receipt of a copy of the Declaration, the By-Laws and the Rules. Landlord’s space within the
Building is sometimes called the “Condominium Unit”. All the condominium property of which the
Condominium Unit is a part, as from time to time amended to annex additional property, is



- 1 -









 







sometimes called “Williamsburg Village” and all portions of
Williamsburg Village, except the
individual condominium units, are sometimes called the “Common Elements”. To the extent that any of
the definitions in this Lease conflict with those in the Condominium Documents, the definitions in
the Condominium Documents shall control.



                    (b)      Tenant accepts this Lease subject to all of the terms and restrictions of the Condominium
Documents and agrees to comply with and perform each of the terms, covenants and conditions of the
Condominium Documents relating to the use or occupancy of the Premises. If pursuant to the
Condominium Documents, the Condominium Unit is withdrawn from the provisions of the Declaration,
Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease effective upon the date of such withdrawal.
Landlord shall not be obligated for the performance by the Board of Managers of the Association
(the “Board”) or of any of the obligations assumed or undertaken by the Board pursuant to the
Condominium Documents and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord by reason of any default
under the Condominium Documents by the Board or the Association. By the execution of this Lease,
Tenant agrees that the Association and Board are and shall be third party beneficiaries of the
provisions of this Lease.



                    (c)      The Declaration requires the approval of all leases by the Board. Landlord agrees to
attempt to procure such approval from the Board within the time established for such approval by
the Declaration. If, after making reasonable effort, Landlord cannot procure such approval within
the time provided, this Lease shall become null and void. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord
in attempting to procure such approval and shall provide such information as is requested by the
Board.



                    (d)      This Lease does not grant any rights to Tenant to participate in the management or affairs
of the Association, including, but not limited to any voting rights enjoyed by the Landlord.



          2.      POSSESSION. If this Lease is executed before the Premises become vacant or
otherwise available and ready for occupancy, or if any present tenant or occupant of the Premises
holds over, and Landlord cannot, using good faith efforts, acquire possession of the Premises prior
to the specified commencement date of this Lease, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default,
nor in any way liable to Tenant because of such failure and Tenant agrees to accept possession of
the Premises at such time as Landlord is able to tender possession, which date shall thereafter be
deemed the “commencement date”; and the Term shall automatically be extended so as to include the
full number of months originally provided, except that if the commencement date is other than the
first day of a calendar month, the Term shall also be extended for



- 2 -









 







the remainder of the calendar month in which possession is tendered. Landlord hereby waives payment
of any rent covering any period prior to such tendering of possession.



          The taking of possession by Tenant shall be deemed
conclusively to establish that the Building and the Premises are in good and satisfactory condition
as of when possession was so taken.



          3.      BASE RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT



                    (a)      Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as monthly rental (the “Base Rent”) for the Premises
during the full term aforesaid the sum of $4,000.00 in advance on the first day of the first full
calendar month of the term hereof and a like sum on or before the first day of each and every
successive calendar month thereafter during the term hereof. In the event the term of this Lease
commences on other than the first day of the month, there shall be paid on the commencement date, a
pro rata portion of the Base Rent based on the number of days remaining in such month, and
subsequent monthly payments shall be paid as directed in this Paragraph 3(a).



                              The Base Rent and all other rent provided herein shall be paid to Landlord without
deduction or offset in lawful money of the United States of American at:


Otto J. Semrow

Semrow Perforated and Expanded Metals Corp.

755 Seegers Road

Des Plaines, Illinois 60016



or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in
writing.




                              Any rent (whether Base Rent or additional rent) or other amount due from Tenant to Landlord
under this Lease not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the
annual rate (the “Agreed Interest Rate”) of two per cent (2%) above the rate designated from time
to time by LaSalle National Bank of Chicago as its “Prime Rate”, but the payment of such interest
shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. The covenants herein to pay rent
(both Base Rent and additional rent) shall be independent of any other covenant set forth in this
Lease.



                    (b)      Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum equal to Four Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($4000.00) as security for the full and faithful performance of every provision of this Lease to be
performed by Tenant. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including but
not limited to the provisions relating to the payment of rent, Landlord may use, apply or retain
all or any part of this security deposit for the payment



- 3 -









 







of any rent and any other sum in default, or for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may
spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of said deposit is
to be used or applied, Tenant shall within five (5) days after written demand therefor deposit cash
with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount and
Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required
to keep this security deposit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to
interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this
Lease to be performed by it, the security deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to
Tenant (or at Landlord’s option to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) at the
expiration of the lease term and upon Tenant’s vacation of the Premises.



          4.      ADDITIONAL RENT.



                    (a)      Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent an amount equal to Tenant’s
Proportionate Share (hereinafter defined) of the Real Estate Taxes (hereinafter defined) for each
calendar year in which this Lease is operative.



                              “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” for any calendar year shall be the percentage resulting from
dividing the number of square feet of rentable area included in the Premises (which is 5,125 square
feet) by the number of square feet of rentable area included in the Building (which is 7,750 square
feet).



                    (b)      The term “Real Estate Taxes” shall mean and include all taxes, general and special, levied
against the Condominium Unit and Landlord’s percentage interest in the Common Elements imposed by
Federal, state or local governments, which shall become a lien during each calendar year in which
Tenant occupies the Premises subject to this Lease, and shall also include all taxes equitably
determined by Landlord to be levied in lieu of or in substitution therefor. Real Estate Taxes shall
not include taxes based on receipt of rentals unless such taxes are in lieu of Real Estate Taxes
nor shall Real Estate Taxes include income, franchise, capital stock, estate or inheritance taxes.
Real Estate Taxes shall also include any personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures,
machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and appurtenances in, upon or used in connection with the
Unit for the operation thereof. In the case of special taxes which may be payable in installments
only the amount of each installment payable during a calendar year shall be included in Real Estate
Taxes for that year. Net recoveries through protest, appeals or other actions taken by Landlord, in
its discretion, after deduction of all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ and other fees,
shall be deducted by Landlord from Real Estate Taxes for the year of receipt. Tenant’s
Proportionate Share of Real Estate Taxes shall



- 4 -









 







be
computed and derived from the Building’s assessed valuation for each relevant year, and such
assessed valuation will not include any reductions granted to Landlord for partial vacancy
allowances.



                    (c)      Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as additional rent an amount equal to Tenant’s
Proportionate Share (as defined in Paragraph 4 (a)) of the amount of the Direct Expenses
(hereinafter defined) for each calendar year in which this Lease is operative.



                              The annual determination of Direct Expenses shall be made or verified by an accountant
designated by Landlord and shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.



                              In the event that during all or any portion of any calendar year the Unit is not fully rented
and occupied, Landlord may elect to make an appropriate adjustment in Direct Expenses for such
year, employing sound accounting and management principles, to determine Direct Expenses that would
have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Unit been fully rented and occupied and the amount
so determined shall be deemed to have been Direct Expenses for such year.



                    (d)      The term “Direct Expenses” shall mean all direct costs of operation, maintenance, and
management of the Unit, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
including the following costs by way of illustration, but not limitation: Association charges or
assessments; sewer charges; insurance premiums of or relating to all insurance policies and
endorsements deemed by Landlord to be reasonably necessary or desirable and relating in any manner
to the protection, preservation, or operation of the Building or any part thereof; the cost of
waste disposal; the cost of janitorial services; window cleaning costs; labor costs; costs incurred
in the management of the Building; material costs; equipment costs and the cost of service
agreements; licenses, permits, and inspection fees; wages and salaries; employee benefits and
payroll taxes; accounting and legal fees; and management expenses. (Direct Expenses shall not
include: depreciation on the Building or equipment therein; loan principal payments; the costs of
alterations of Tenant’s premises; real estate brokers’ commission; leasing commissions; interest
expenses on long-term borrowings; or advertising costs.)



                    (e)      In the event that the Consumer Price Index for 1993 (the “Base Year”) shall be less than
the Consumer Price Index for any Comparison Year (the term “Comparison Year” shall mean each
calendar year after the Base Year through and including the calendar year in which the term
expires), Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand, as additional rent for each such Comparison Year,
$48,000.00 multiplied by the percentage increase by which the Consumer Price Index in such
Comparison Year exceeds the Consumer Price Index in the Base Year. For the purposes of this lease,
the term “Consumer Price Index” shall mean the Consumer Price Index



- 5 -









 







United States All Items for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
Department of Labor (Base Year—1967) . The Consumer Price Index for the Base Year or any
Comparison Year shall be determined by averaging the monthly indexes for that year.



                              If the manner in which such Consumer Price Index as determined by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics shall be substantially revised, an adjustment shall be made in such revised index, which
would produce results equivalent, as nearly as possible, to those which would have been obtained if
the Consumer Price Index had not been so revised.



                              If the Consumer Price Index shall become unavailable to the public because publication is
discontinued, or otherwise, Landlord will substitute therefor a comparable index that is based upon
changes in the cost of living or purchasing power of the consumer dollar and that is published by
any other governmental agency, or, if no such index shall be available, then a comparable index
that is published by a major bank or other financial institution or by a university or a recognized
financial publication.



                    (f)      Landlord may, at any time, deliver to Tenant Landlord’s estimate (or revised estimate) of
such additional amounts payable under Paragraph 4(a), Paragraph 4(c) or Paragraph 4(e) for the then
current or ensuing calendar year. On or before the first day of the next month and on or before the
first day of each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent such amount, as
Landlord shall reasonably determine, as is necessary to bring and keep Tenant current.



                              As soon as practicable after the close of each
calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement showing the total amount payable by
Tenant under Paragraph 4(a), Paragraph 4(c) or Paragraph 4(e). If the statement shows an amount due
from Tenant that is less than the estimated payments previously paid by Tenant to cover the total
amount due, the amount that Tenant has overpaid shall be credited to Tenant’s following month’s
payment of Base Rent. If the statement shows an amount due from Tenant that is greater than the
estimated payments previously paid by the Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord, as
additional rent, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement.



          5.      BUILDING SERVICE AND PUBLIC UTILITY CHARGES. Landlord agrees to use reasonable
efforts to furnish to the Premises during reasonable hours of generally recognized business days,
as reasonably determined by Landlord, and subject to the rules and regulations of the Building and
Board, heat and air conditioning required in Landlord’s reasonable judgment for the comfortable use
and occupancy of the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for,



- 6 -









 







and Tenant shall not be entitled to, any abatement or reduction of rental by reason of Landlord’s
failure to furnish any of the foregoing, nor shall such failure constitute an eviction, whether
such failure is caused by accident, breakage, repairs, energy shortages or restriction, strikes,
lockouts or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any character, riots, civil disturbance
or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Landlord
shall not be liable under any circumstances for loss of or injury to property, however occurring,
through or in connection with or incidental to failure to furnish any of the foregoing.



          Tenant and its employees and visitors have the exclusive use of four parking spaces as
reflected in Exhibit E and may use that outdoor parking area adjacent to the Building in
common on a “first come first serve” basis with other tenants of space in the Building, their
employees and visitors, all subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as from time to time
may be imposed by Landlord and the Board.



          Landlord agrees to furnish water for lavatories and drinking, electricity for equipment, and
accessories for general office use and gas for heating or other uses, all as deemed necessary in
the reasonable judgment of Landlord.



          Unless the Premises shall be separately metered, Tenant shall pay for electricity, water, and
gas used in the Premises as reasonably billed by Landlord. Tenant shall furnish, at its own
expense, all electric light bulbs, tubes and ballasts.



          Throughout the term of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay all charges for gas, water,
electricity, light, heat, power and telephone or other communication service separately metered to
or separately billed to the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure for any of the
public utilities to furnish any such service, nor shall any failure for any length of time of any
one or more of said utility companies to furnish any such service make this Lease voidable or
constitute a ground upon which Tenant may terminate or otherwise abrogate this Lease or any of
Tenant’s obligations hereunder.



          6.      CONDITION OF PREMISES. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed
to have agreed that the Premises were as of the date of taking possession in good order, repair and
condition. No promise of the Landlord to alter, remodel, decorate, clean or improve the Premises,
the Building or the Common Elements and no representation or warranty, express or implied,
respecting the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Common Elements has been made by the
Landlord to Tenant, unless the same is contained herein, or made a part hereof. This Lease does not
grant any rights to light or air over property.



- 7 -









 





          7.      USES PROHIBITED. Tenant shall not use, or permit the Premises or any part thereof
to be used, for any purpose or purposes other than general office purposes. No use shall be made or
permitted to be made of the Premises, nor acts done, which will increase the existing rate of
insurance upon the Condominium Unit or Williamsburg Village, or cause a cancellation of any
insurance policy covering the Condominium Unit or Williamsburg Village, or any part thereof, nor
shall Tenant sell, or permit to be kept, used or sold, in or about the Premises, any article which
may be prohibited by Landlord’s or the Board’s insurance policies. Tenant shall not commit, or
suffer to be committed, any waste upon the Premises, or any public or private nuisance, or any
other act or thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenants in the Building or
other occupants of Williamsburg Village, and Tenant shall not, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable
purpose.



          8.      COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit anything to be
done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or
governmental rule or regulation now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated,
including, but not limited to the Planned Unit Development Ordinance of the Village of Inverness
pertaining to Williamsburg Village. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply
with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations and requirements now in
force or which may hereafter be in force, including but not limited to the Americans with
Disabilities Act, and Tenant shall comply with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters
or other similar body now or hereafter constituted relating to or affecting the condition, use or
occupancy of the Premises. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of
Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has
violated any law, statute, ordinance, governmental rule, regulation or requirement shall be
conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.



          9.      HOLDING OVER. Should Tenant hold over after the termination of this Lease, by lapse
of time or otherwise, Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month only upon each and all of
the terms herein provided as may be applicable to such month to month tenancy and any such holding
over shall not constitute an extension of this Lease; provided, however, during such holding over,
Tenant shall pay base rent (as adjusted pursuant to Paragraph 4, all as estimated by Landlord) at
double the rate payable for the month immediately preceding said holding over and in addition,
Tenant shall pay Landlord all damages, consequential as well as direct, sustained by reason of
Tenant’s holding over. Alternatively, at the election of Landlord expressed in a written



- 8 -









 







notice to the Tenant and not otherwise, such retention of possession shall constitute a renewal of
this Lease for one year. The provisions of this paragraph do not exclude the Landlord’s rights of
re-entry or any other right hereunder.



     10.      MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS.



                    (a)      Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 15, and Paragraph 4(c), and except for damage
caused by any negligent or intentional act or omission of Tenant, Tenant’s agents, employees or
invitees, Landlord, as a “Direct Expense”, shall keep or cause the Board to keep in good order,
condition and repair the foundation, exterior and interior walls, interior supporting columns and
the exterior roof of the Premises. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense shall also keep and maintain the
Building and the Premises and every part thereof and any fixtures, facilities or equipment
contained therein in good order, condition and repair, including, but not limited to, the heating
and air conditioning, electrical, plumbing and sewer systems. Neither the Board nor Landlord shall
be obligated to paint the interior of the Premises. Neither the Board nor Landlord shall be
obligated to make repairs under this Paragraph 10(a) until a reasonable time after receipt of
written notice of the need for such repairs.



                    (b)      Tenant shall not do any painting or decorating, or erect any partitions or make any
alterations in or any additions or changes to the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent
in each and every instance. Unless otherwise agreed by Landlord and Tenant in writing, all such
replacements, and alterations shall be performed either by or under the direction of Landlord, but
at the cost of Tenant. Unless otherwise provided by written agreement, all alterations,
improvements and changes shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises, excepting however,
that at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall, at its expense, when surrendering the Premises, remove
from the Premises and the Building all such alterations, improvements and changes installed in the
Premises by Tenant and restore the Premises to the condition existing prior to such alterations,
improvements or changes. If Tenant does not remove said additions, decorations, fixtures, hardware,
non-trade fixtures and improvements after request to do so by Landlord, Landlord may remove the
same and restore the Premises and Tenant shall pay the cost of such removal and restoration to
Landlord upon demand. Tenant hereby agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless
Landlord, its agents and employees, the Association, the Board, the Premises, the Condominium Unit
and Williamsburg Village from any and all liabilities of every kind and description which may arise
out of or be connected in any way with said replacements, alterations or additions. Any mechanic’s
lien filed against the Premises or the Condominium Unit or for which notice is received by either
Landlord or Tenant for work claimed to have been furnished to Tenant shall be released and
discharged of record by



- 9 -









 







Tenant within ten (10) days after such filing or receipt, whichever is applicable, at Tenant’s
expense. Upon completing any replacements, alterations or additions, Tenant shall furnish Landlord
with contractors’ affidavits and full and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all
labor and materials expended and used. All replacements, alterations and additions shall comply
 with all insurance requirements and with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances and
regulations. All alterations and additions shall be constructed in good and workmanlike manner and
only good grades of materials shall be used.



                    (c)      Tenant shall, at the termination of this Lease, surrender the Premises to Landlord in as
good condition and repair as reasonable and proper use thereof will permit, loss by ordinary wear
and tear, fire or other casualty excepted, and subject to the other terms and provisions of this
lease.



          11.      ABANDONMENT. Tenant shall not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time during
the term, and if Tenant shall abandon, vacate or surrender (whether at the end of the stated Term
or otherwise) the Premises, or be dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, any personal
property belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises shall be deemed abandoned, at the option of
Landlord.



          12.      ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not assign this Lease or any interest
therein, and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege
appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion
thereof, without the prior written consent of the Landlord which may not be arbitrarily withheld.
If Tenant shall request Landlord’s consent to any such assignment or subletting, Landlord, at its
option, may elect to terminate this Lease effective on the first day of the third calendar month
next succeeding receipt of Tenant’s request for such consent or subletting, which election, if
exercised by Landlord, shall be by written notice to Tenant given within twenty (20) days after
receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s request for such consent. Any such assignment or subletting or
occupancy without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be void and shall, at the option of
Landlord, constitute a default under this Lease. Neither this Lease nor any interest therein shall
be assignable as to the interest of Tenant by operation of law without the written consent of
Landlord, which consent may not be arbitrarily withheld.



          13.      SIGNS. Tenant shall not place or affix any interior signs visible from the
outside of the Premises or exterior signs without the prior written consent of Landlord.

     14. DAMAGE TO PROPERTY; INJURY TO PERSONS. Tenant, as a material part of the
consideration to be rendered to Landlord under this Lease, to the extent permitted by law, hereby
waives all claims, except claims caused by or resulting from the sole negligence of Landlord, its
agents, servants or employees, which Tenant or Tenant’s successor or permitted assigns may have
against Landlord, its agents, servants and employees, for loss, theft or damage to property and for
injuries to persons, including death, in, upon or about the Premises, the Building or the
Condominium Unit, from any cause whatsoever. Tenant will protect, defend, indemnify and hold
Landlord, its agents, servants and employees exempt and harmless from and on account of (i) any
damage or injury, including death, to any person, or (ii) any damage to the goods, wares and
merchandise of any person including the loss of the use thereof arising from the use of the
Premises, Building or Common Elements by Tenant, or arising from the failure of Tenant to keep the
Premises in good condition as herein provided.



     Neither Landlord nor its agents, servants or employees nor the Board shall be liable to
Tenant for any damage by or from any act or negligence of any co-tenant or other occupant of
the Building, or by any owner or occupant of any Condominium Unit at Williamsburg Village, or
by any owner or occupant of adjoining or contiguous property. Tenant agrees to pay for all
damage to the Building, the Common Elements, or the Premises, as well as for all damage to
tenants or occupants thereof caused by Tenant’s misuse or neglect to the extent that the other
party has not recovered the amount of such loss, damage or injury from insurance and the
insurance company is bound by this waiver of liability.



     Particularly, but not in limitation of the foregoing paragraph, all property belonging to
Tenant or any other occupant of the Premises that is located in the Building or the Premises
shall be there at the risk of Tenant or such other person only, and Landlord or its agents or
employees (except in case of sole negligence of Landlord or its agents or employees) shall not
be liable for: damage to or theft of or misappropriation of such property; damage to property
entrusted to Landlord, its agents or employees, if any; the loss of or damage to any property
by theft or otherwise; any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire,
explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, snow, water or rain which may leak from
any part of the Building or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other place or
resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever; interference with the light or other
incorporeal hereditaments; or any latent defect in the Premises, the Building, the pipes, the
appliances or the plumbing works therein. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case
of fire or accidents in the Premises or in the Building or of defects therein or in the
fixtures or equipment.



     In case any action or proceeding be brought against Landlord by reason of any obligation
on Tenant’s part to be performed under



- 11 -









 




the terms of this Lease, or arising from any act or negligence of the Tenant, or of its agents or
employees, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.




     Tenant shall obtain from responsible companies approved by Landlord, and maintain in full
force and effect during the term of this Lease, (a) public liability insurance in a combined single
limit liability in an amount of not less than $1,000,000, insuring Tenant, Landlord and, if
requested by Landlord, any mortgagee of Landlord and/or the Board and Association against all
claims, demands or action for injury to or death of one or more persons in any one accident and for
damage to property made by or on behalf of any person, firm or corporation, in any way arising
from, related to, or connected with the conduct or operation of Tenant’s business in the Premises
or Tenant’s use of the Premises and, in addition, and in like amount, obtain and maintain insurance
covering Tenant’s contractual liability under the aforesaid hold harmless clause. Landlord may
require that such public liability insurance limits be increased from time to time to those limits
which Landlord reasonably requires and (b) such other insurance on the Premises in such amounts as
may from time to time be reasonably required by Landlord against other insurable hazards which at
the time are commonly insured against in the case of premises similarly situated. Certificates of
such insurance shall be delivered to Landlord. All such insurance policies shall indicate that at
least ten days prior written notice shall be delivered to Landlord by the insurer prior to
termination or cancellation of such insurance.



     15. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. In the event the Premises or the Building are damaged by
fire or other insured casualty and the insurance proceeds have been made available therefor by the
holder or holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust covering the Building and made available by
the Board, Landlord, subject to the Condominium Documents, shall cause the damage to be repaired by
and at the expense of Landlord to the extent of such insurance proceeds available therefor,
provided such repairs can, in Landlord’s sole opinion, be made within one hundred twenty (120) days
after the occurrence of such damage without the payment of overtime or other premiums. Until such
repairs are completed, the rent shall be abated in proportion to the part of the Premises which is
unusable and not used by Tenant in the conduct of its business; provided if the damage is due to
the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, agents or invitees, there shall be no abatement of
rent. If repairs cannot, in Landlord’s sole opinion, be made within one hundred twenty (120) days,
Landlord shall notify Tenant within sixty (60) days of the date of occurrence of such damage and
either Landlord or Tenant, by written notice to the other given within twenty (20) days thereafter,
may cancel this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage. Except as provided in this
paragraph, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of



- 12 -









 




Landlord or the Board by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business or property
arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the
Building, the Premises or the Common Elements, or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment
therein. Tenant understands that Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant’s
furniture and furnishings or on any fixtures or equipment removable by Tenant under the provisions
of this Lease or of improvements installed in the Premises by or for Tenant, and that Landlord
shall not be required to repair any injury or damage caused by fire or other cause, or to make any
repairs or replacements to or of improvements installed in the Premises by or for Tenant.




     16. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the
Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of examining or inspecting the same, to supply any
services to be provided by Landlord or Tenant hereunder, to show the same to prospective purchasers
or tenants of the Condominium Unit, and to make such alterations, repairs, improvements or
additions, whether structural or otherwise, to the Premises or to the Building as  Landlord
may deem necessary or desirable. Landlord may enter the main entrance by means of a master key without
liability to Tenant except for any failure to exercise due care for Tenant’s property and without
affecting this Lease. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts on such entry not to unreasonably
interrupt or interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises.



     17. INSOLVENCY OR BANKRUPTCY. If at any time during the term hereby demised or prior
thereto there shall be filed by or against Tenant in any court a petition in bankruptcy or
insolvency or for reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a
portion of Tenant’s property, and within thirty (30) days thereof Tenant fails to secure a
discharge thereof, this Lease, at the option of Landlord, exercised within a reasonable time after
notice of the happening of any one or more of such events, may be canceled and terminated and in
which event neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant by virtue of any statute
or of an order of any court shall be entitled to possession or to remain in possession of the
Premises demised but shall forthwith quit and surrender the Premises, and Landlord in addition to
the other rights and remedies Landlord has by virtue of any other provision herein or elsewhere in
this Lease contained or by virtue of any statute or rule of law may retain as liquidated damages
any rent, security deposit or monies received by it from Tenant or others in behalf of Tenant.



     18. DEFAULT. Tenant will be deemed in default of this Lease if any of the following
events of default shall occur, to-wit:



- 13 -









 





          (a) Tenant defaults in the payment of rent (whether Base rent or additional rent) or any other
sum required to be paid hereunder, or any part thereof, or




          (b) Tenant defaults in the full performance of any other covenant, agreement or condition of
this Lease and such other default shall continue for a period of twenty (20) days after written
notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant (unless such other default involves a hazardous condition,
in which event it shall be cured forthwith), provided, however, with respect to any default which
cannot be cured within twenty (20) days, Tenant in good faith, within twenty (20) days after
receipt of such written notice, shall have commenced and thereafter shall continue to diligently
prosecute all action necessary to cure such default, or




          (c) If the leasehold interest of Tenant shall be levied upon under execution or shall be
attached by process of law, or




          (d) If Tenant abandons the Premises. In such event, Landlord, in addition to other rights or
remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right of re-entry and may remove all persons and
property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in any other place in the
Building or in any other place for the account of and at the expense and at the risk of Tenant.
Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages which may be caused by the re-entry of Landlord and
taking possession of the Premises or removing or storing the equipment, furniture and property as
herein provided, and will protect, defend, indemnify and save Landlord harmless from any loss,
costs or damages of Landlord thereby, and no re-entry shall be considered or construed to be a
forcible entry.




               Should Landlord elect to re-enter, as herein provided, or should it take possession pursuant
to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by law, it may either terminate this Lease
or it may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, re-let the Premises or any part
thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and
conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to make
alterations and repairs to the Premises.



               Landlord may elect to apply rentals received by it (i) to the payment of any indebtedness,
other than rent, due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; (ii) to the payment of any cost of such
reletting; (iii) to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; and/or
(iv) to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by
Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder.
Should such rentals received from such re-letting (after application by Landlord to payments
described in foregoing clauses (i) through (iv)) during any month



- 14 -









 




be less than agreed to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such
deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly on demand by
Landlord.




               In lieu of electing to receive and apply rentals as provided in the immediately preceding
paragraph, Landlord may elect to receive from Tenant, for Tenant’s default, as and for Landlord’s
liquidated damages an amount equal to the entire amount of Base Rent and additional rent provided
for in this Lease for the remainder of the term which amount shall be forthwith due and payable by
Tenant upon its being advised of such election by Landlord.



               No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an
election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to
Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding any such re-letting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect
to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.



               Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to provide for and
obtain as damages by reason of any such termination of this Lease or of possession an amount equal
to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when such termination
takes place, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amounts of damages
which Landlord may elect to receive as set forth above.



               No delay on the part of Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof and no single or partial exercise by Landlord of any right or remedy
shall preclude other or further exercise thereof of any other right or remedy.



     19. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Such rules and regulations as may be hereafter adopted by
Landlord or the Board for the safety, care and cleanliness of the Premises and the preservation of
good order thereon for any of such reasons are hereby expressly made a part hereof, and Tenant
agrees to obey all such rules and regulations. The violation of any such rule or regulation by
Tenant shall be deemed a default under this lease by Tenant, affording Landlord all those remedies
set out in Paragraph 18 hereof. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the
non-performance of any said rule or regulation by any other tenant or occupant of the Building or
by Williamsburg Village.



     20. TAXES. During the term hereof, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes
assessed against and levied upon fixtures,



- 15 -









 




furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises, and
Tenant shall cause said fixtures, furnishings, equipment and other personal property to be assessed
and billed separately from the real property of Landlord. In the event any or all of the Tenant’s
fixtures, furnishings, equipment and other personal property shall be assessed and taxed with the
Landlord’s real property, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its share of such taxes within ten (10) days
after delivery to Tenant by Landlord of a written statement setting forth the amount of such taxes
applicable to the Tenant’s property.




     21. EMINENT DOMAIN. If the Building or a substantial part thereof or if a substantial
part of the Premises shall be lawfully taken or condemned (or conveyed under threat of such taking
or condemnation) for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, the term of this Lease shall end
upon, and not before, the date of the taking of possession by the condemning authority, and without
apportionment of the award. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such
award. Current rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the
Building other than the Premises or a part not constituting a substantial part of the Premises
shall be so taken or condemned (or conveyed under threat of such taking or condemnation), or if the
grade of any street adjacent to the Building is changed by any competent authority and such taking
or change of grade makes it necessary or desirable to substantially remodel or restore the
Building, Landlord shall have the right to cancel this Lease upon not less than ninety (90) days
notice prior to the date of cancellation designated in the notice. No money or other consideration
shall be payable by Landlord to Tenant for the right of cancellation, and Tenant shall have no
right to share in any condemnation award or in any judgment for damages or in any proceeds of any
sale made under any threat of condemnation or taking.



     22. SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES, DEEDS OF TRUST AND GROUND LEASE. This Lease and the
rights of Tenant hereunder shall be and are hereby made subject and subordinate to the lien of any
mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter existing against the condominium Unit or any part or
parts thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions
thereof and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof.



     Although such subordination shall be self operating, Tenant, or its successors in interest,
shall, upon Landlord’s request, execute and deliver upon the demand of Landlord any and all
instruments desired by Landlord subordinating in the manner reasonably requested by Landlord this
Lease to any such mortgage or deed of trust (“Subordination Instruments”). Landlord is hereby



- 16 -









 




irrevocably appointed and authorized as agent and attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute all such
Subordination Instruments in the event Tenant fails to execute said instruments within five (5)
days after notice from Landlord demanding the execution thereof. Said notice may be given in the
manner hereinafter provided for giving notice.




     Should any mortgage or deed of trust affecting the Condominium Unit be foreclosed: (a) the
liability of the mortgagee, trustee or purchaser at such foreclosure sale shall exist only so long
as the trustee, mortgagee or purchaser is the owner of the condominium Unit and such liability
shall not continue or survive after further transfer of ownership; and (b) Tenant shall be deemed
to have attorned, as Tenant, under this Lease, to purchaser at any foreclosure sale hereunder, and
this Lease shall continue in force and effect as a direct Lease between and binding upon Tenant and
such mortgagee, as the case may be. As used in this Paragraph 22, “mortgagee” shall include
successors and assigns, whether immediate or remote.



     23. WAIVER. The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or condition
herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition of any
subsequent breach of the same of any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The
acceptance of rent hereunder shall not be construed to be a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any
term, covenant or condition of this Lease. It is understood and agreed that the remedies herein
given to Landlord shall be cumulative and the exercise of any one remedy by Landlord shall not be
to the exclusion of any other remedy.



     24. INABILITY TO PERFORM. This Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay rent
hereunder and perform all of Tenant’s other covenants, obligations and agreements hereunder on the
part of Tenant to be performed shall not be affected, impaired or excused, nor shall Landlord at
any time be deemed to be in default hereunder, because Landlord, the Board or the Association is
unable (a) to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease or the Condominium Documents, (b) to
supply, or is delayed in supplying, any service expressly required or required by implication, (c)
to make, or is delayed in making, any Tenant improvements, repairs, additions, alterations or
decorations or (d) to supply, or is delayed in supplying, any equipment or fixtures, if Landlord,
the Board or the Association is prevented or delayed from so doing any of the foregoing by reason
of, but not limited to, accident, breakage, repairs, strike, labor troubles or any outside cause
whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, the Board or the Association, including but
not limited to riots, civil disturbances, energy shortages, governmental preemption in connection
with a national emergency or by reason of any rule,



- 17 -









 




order or regulation of any department or subdivision thereof of any government agency, or by reason
of the conditions of supply and demand which have been or are affected by war or other emergency,
or by reason of any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond the reasonable control of Landlord,
the Board or the Association.




     25. SUBROGATION. The parties hereto agree to use good faith efforts to have any and
all fire, extended coverage and/or material damage insurance which may be carried endorsed with a
subrogation clause substantially as follows: “This insurance shall not be invalidated should the
insured waive in writing prior to a loss any or all right of recovery against any party for loss
occurring to the property described therein.”; and each party hereto waives all claims for recovery
from the other party for any loss or damage (whether or not such loss or damage is caused by
negligence of the other party and notwithstanding any provision or provisions contained in this
Lease to the contrary) to any of its property insured under valid and collectible insurance
policies to the extent of recovery collectible under such insurance, subject to the limitation that
this waiver shall apply only when it is permitted by the applicable policy of insurance.



     26. PLATS AND RIDERS. Clauses, plats and riders, if any, signed by Landlord and
Tenant and endorsed on or affixed to this Lease are a part hereof, and in the event of variation or
discrepancy, the duplicate original hereof, including such clauses, plats and riders, if any, held
by Landlord shall control.



     27. SALE BY LANDLORD. In the event of a sale, transfer or conveyance by Landlord of
its interest in the Condominium Unit of which the Premises are a part, the same shall operate to
release Landlord from any future liability upon any of the covenants or conditions, express or
implied, herein contained in favor of Tenant, and in such event Tenant agrees to look solely to the
responsibility of the successor in interest of Landlord. If any security deposit has been made by
Tenant under Paragraph 3(b), Landlord may transfer such security deposit to such successor in
interest of Landlord and thereupon Landlord shall be released from any further obligations
hereunder. This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale, transfer or assignment, and the
Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser, transferee or assignee.



     28. RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All covenants and agreements to be performed by
Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense and without any abatement of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other
than rent, required to be paid by it hereunder, or shall fail to perform any other act on its part
to be



- 18 -









 




performed hereunder, and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after notice thereof by
Landlord or the Board, either Landlord or the Board may, but shall not be obligated so to do, and
without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, make any such payment or
perform any such other act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed by Tenant as provided in this
Lease provided. All sums so paid by Landlord or the Board and all necessary incidental costs
together with interest thereon at the Agreed Interest Rate from the date of such payment by
Landlord or the Board shall be payable to Landlord on demand and Tenant covenants to pay any such
sums, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same
rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by
Tenant in the payment of rent.




     29. ATTORNEYS, FEES. In the event Landlord takes action, including but not limited
to litigation, arbitration or correspondence with attorneys, to enforce any provision of this
Lease or any of its rights hereto, the unsuccessful party to such litigation or arbitration shall
pay to Landlord all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred therein.
Moreover, if Landlord, without fault, is made a party to any litigation instituted by or against
Tenant, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against and protect, defend, and save Landlord harmless
from all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by it in connection
therewith.



     30. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant shall at any time and from time to time upon not less
than ten (10) days prior written notice from Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord
a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if
modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified,
is in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental and other charges are paid and
acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of
Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. It is expressly understood and
agreed that any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of
all or any portion of the real property of which the Premises are a part or by any other person to
whom it is delivered. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be
conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as
may be represented by Landlord, that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance and
that not more than one month’s rental has been paid in advance.



     31. NOTICE. Any notice from Landlord to Tenant or from Tenant to Landlord shall be in
writing and may be served personally or by mail. If served by mail, notice shall be deemed served
on



- 19 -









 




the second day after mailing if mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
addressed to Tenant at the Premises or to Landlord at the place from time to time established for
the payment of rent.




     32. RIGHTS RESERVED. Landlord reserves on behalf of itself and on behalf of the
Board the following rights, exercisable without notice and without liability to Tenant for damage
or injury to property, person or business and without effecting an eviction, constructive or
actual, or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession or giving rise to any claim for set-off or
abatement of rent:



          (a) To install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior of the Building.




          (b) To designate, limit, restrict and control any service in or to the Building or to the
Tenant, provided such services by Landlord are provided at rates that are reasonably competitive.
No vending or dispensing machines of any kind shall be placed in or about the Premises without the
prior written consent of Landlord.




          (c) To retain at all times, and to use in appropriate instances, keys to the main entrance of
the building into the Premises and Building. No locks or bolts to the main entrance of the building
shall be altered, changed or added without the prior written consent of Landlord.




          (d) To decorate or to make repairs, alterations,
additions or improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in and about the Building or Common
Elements or any part thereof, and for such purposes to enter upon the Premises, and during the
continuance of said work to temporarily close doors and corridors in the Building and to interrupt
or temporarily suspend Building services and facilities.




          (e) To have and retain a paramount title to the Premises free and clear of any act of Tenant.




          (f) To grant to anyone the exclusive right to conduct any business or render any services in
the Building, provided such grant shall not prevent the use of the Premises for the purpose
specified in this Lease.




          (g) To approve the weight, size and location of heavy equipment and articles in and about the
Premises, the Building and the Common Elements. Movements of Tenant’s property into or out of the
Building and within the Building and the Common Elements are entirely at the risk and
responsibility of Tenant.





- 20 -










 





     33. REAL ESTATE BROKER. Each party represents to the other party that it has
not dealt with a broker in connection with this Lease. Each party shall indemnify and hold
harmless the other party from any loss or liability, including attorneys’ fees, arising from a
breach of the foregoing representation.



     34. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.



          (a) The words “re-enter” or “re-entry” as used in this Lease are not restricted to their
technical legal meaning. The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease means only the Landlord from
time to time, and upon conveying its interest, the conveying party shall be relieved from any
further obligation or liability pursuant to Paragraph 27.




          (b) Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its provisions.




          (c) Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute
a reservation of or offer or option for lease, and it is not effective as a lease or otherwise
until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.




          (d) The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall not affect or impair any
other provisions.




          (e) This Lease shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the laws of the State of
Illinois.




          (f) Should the Board or any mortgagee require a modification of this Lease, which
modifications will not bring about any increased cost or expense to Tenant or in any other way
substantially change the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder, then and in such event, Tenant
agrees that this Lease may be so modified.




          (g) All rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease, or that may be provided by law, may
be exercised by Landlord in its own name individually, or in its name by its agent, and all legal
proceedings for the enforcement of any such rights or remedies, including distress for rent,
forcible detainer, and any other legal or equitable proceedings, may be commenced and prosecuted to
final judgment and execution by Landlord in its own name individually or in its name by its agent.
Tenant expressly stipulates that any rights or remedies available to Landlord either by the
provisions of this Lease or otherwise may be enforced by Landlord in its own name individually or
in its name by agent or principal.




- 21 -









 





          (h) The marginal headings and titles to the paragraphs of this Lease are not a part of this
Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.




          (i) The
terms and provisions of this Lease may not be modified or amended except by written
instrument signed by both Landlord and Tenant.




          (j) Tenant shall not record this Lease without Landlord’s prior written consent, and such
recordation shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a
non-curable default of Tenant.

RIDER NO. 1



ATTACHED TO AND MADE A PART OF LEASE CONTRACT
BETWEEN LaSALLE NATIONAL TRUST, N.A., AS TRUSTEE
UNDER A TRUST AGREEMENT DATED JANUARY 15, 1993
AND KNOWN AS TRUST NUMBER 117628, AS LANDLORD,
AND ROYAL AMERICAN BANK, AS TENANT,
DATED APRIL 1, 1993 FOR PREMISES AT
1604 COLONIAL PARKWAY, INVERNESS, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS




     1. RIGHT TO PROTEST TAXES



          Landlord
shall promptly notify Tenant of any increase in real estate assessments, tax rates
and/or real estate taxes, and Landlord shall diligently pursue the reduction of same. Tenant shall
pay its proportionate share of the cost of obtaining any tax reduction, provided that Tenant shall
not be obligated to pay an amount in excess of the tax savings realized by Tenant. In the event
that Landlord shall not seek such reduction, Tenant shall have the right in Landlord’s name to seek
such reduction, and Landlord agrees to render to Tenant all assistance reasonably necessary,
including joining in and signing any protest or pleading Tenant may deem advisable. Landlord
agrees that it shall pay the cost of seeking and/or obtaining a reduction upon receipt of an
invoice therefor, subject to Tenant’s obligation to contribute its proportionate share of such cost
as set forth above, provided that if Tenant obtains the reduction, Landlord shall not be obligated
to pay an amount in excess of the tax saving realized by Landlord.




     2. OPTION TO RENEW



          Provided Tenant has not committed an uncured Event of Default, Tenant shall have the option to
renew this Lease and lease the Leased Premises for two (2) five (5) year Extended Terms (each of
the Extended Terms are referred to as “Extended Term”) upon the same terms and conditions set forth
herein with the following exceptions:




          a. The Premises Rent to be paid by Tenant during the Base Year of each Extended Term shall
be Ninety Percent (90%) of the then prevailing market rent (“MARKET RENT”) for comparably improved
office, industrial, manufacturing, warehouse space in the northwest Cook County, Illinois market
area.




          b. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Market Rent, either Landlord or Tenant can, by
notice to the other, elect to use an appraisal procedure to determine the Market Rent. The party
requesting the appraisal process shall set forth in their notice the name of an independent
appraiser. The other party shall select the name of their independent appraiser within fifteen
(15) days thereafter. The two independent appraisers




- 24 -









 







shall then independently select a third independent appraiser. An independent appraiser is defined
as any real estate firm or individual engaged in the business of leasing office space in the
northwest Cook County area or an M.A.I. real estate appraiser doing business in the northern
Illinois area, which firm or person has not, within six (6) months previous thereto, had any
business dealings with the Landlord nor with the Tenant or its employees. The two appraisers
selected by Landlord and Tenant shall each be instructed to determine the then current Market Rent
for comparable office space in the northwest Cook County market area taking into consideration the
then existing improvements, age of the building and equipment and the amenities of Williamsburg
Village and immediately surrounding areas. The appraiser selected by the appraisers of Landlord and
Tenant shall then designate which of the two appraisals is the most accurate reflection of Market
Rent and Landlord and Tenant shall be bound to accept said determination. The cost of all the
three appraisers shall be divided equally between Landlord and Tenant.




          c. To exercise this renewal option, Tenant must give Landlord written notice at least two
hundred and ten (210) days prior to the end of the Term, or the Extended Term, as the case may be.




          d. Upon the exercise of this renewal option, the word Term as defined in this Lease shall
also apply to an Extended Term.




          e. All other terms and conditions of this Lease shall be in full force and effect during the
Extended Terms, including the obligation to pay Rent Adjustments as described in Section 4,
Paragraphs (a) through (f).




          f. This renewal option shall be exercised only as to all the Leased Premises leased by
Tenant at the time of the notice.




     3. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
