                            EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                            --------------------

     THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of April
, 1997, between Ambassador Apartments, Inc., a Maryland corporation
("Employer") and the sole general Partner of Ambassador Apartments, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership" and, together with
Employer and its other subsidiaries, the "Company"), and David M. Glickman, an
individual domiciled in the State of Illinois ("Executive").


                                  RECITALS

     A. The Company is engaged primarily in the acquisition, development,
construction, renovation, leasing, ownership and management of multifamily
apartment properties throughout the United States.

     B. Employer believes that it would benefit from the application of
Executive's particular and unique skill, experience and background to the
management and operation of the Company.

     C. Employer considers the establishment and maintenance of a sound and
vital management to be essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests
of Employer and its stockholders.  Accordingly, the Board of Directors of
Employer has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and
encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company's
management, including Executive, to their assigned duties without distraction.
In order to induce Executive to remain in the employ of Employer, among other
things, this Agreement sets forth certain benefits Executive shall receive in
the event there is a change of control of Employer under the circumstances
described herein.

     D. Executive wishes to commit himself to serve Employer in the position
set forth herein on the terms herein provided.

     E. The parties wish by this Agreement to set forth the terms and
conditions of the employment relationship between Employer and Executive.

     Employer and Executive hereby agree as follows:

     1. EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES.  During the Employment Term (as defined in
Section 2), Employer agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to be
employed by Employer, as Chief Executive







<PAGE>   2



Officer of Employer on the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement.
Executive shall conduct, operate, manage and promote the business of the
Company, and exercise such other powers and authority as are customarily
inherent in a similar position in a comparable publicly-held entity or as
provided by the By-laws of Employer (the "By-laws").  The Board of Directors of
Employer (the "Board") may from time to time further define and clarify
Executive's duties and services hereunder or under the By-laws in a manner
consistent with the scope of work set forth herein.  Executive agrees to devote
his best efforts and substantially all of his business time, attention, energy
and skill to performing his duties to Employer under this Agreement.  Employer
also agrees during the Employment Term to nominate Executive as a director of
Employer.

     2. TERM.  Unless terminated earlier pursuant to the provisions of Section
5, the initial term of this Agreement (the "Initial Term") shall commence on
January 1, 1997 and expire on December 31, 1999 (the "Scheduled Termination
Date"), provided, however, that this Agreement shall extend automatically for
one-year terms following the Initial Term (each a "Renewal Term" and, together
with the Initial Term, the "Employment Term"), unless either party shall give
the other party, prior to 180 days before the end of the Initial Term or
respective Renewal Term, written notice of its intention to terminate the
Employment Term.

     3. COMPENSATION AND RELATED MATTERS.

     (a) BASE SALARY.  As compensation for performing the services required by
this Agreement, and during the Employment Term, Employer shall pay to Executive
a salary at a rate of no less than $250,000 per year in the first year of the
Employment Term, $275,000 in the second year, $302,500 in the third year and an
amount equal to 110% of the prior year minimum amount in each year thereafter
("Base Compensation"), payable in accordance with the general policies and
procedures for payment of salaries to its executive personnel implemented by
Employer (but no less frequently than monthly), subject to withholding for
applicable federal, state and local taxes.  Increases in Base Compensation
above that provided for in this Section 3(a), if any, shall be determined by
the Board or the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board or such other
committee of the Board then performing such function (the "Committee") based on
periodic reviews of Executive's performance conducted on at least an annual
basis.

     (b) BONUS.  In addition to Base Compensation, the Board or the Committee,
as applicable, in its sole and absolute discretion







                                    - 2 -


<PAGE>   3

may, but shall in no event be obligated to, authorize the payment of a bonus to
Executive, payable in cash or shares of Common Stock of Employer ("Common
Stock"), based upon achievement of corporate and individual performance
objectives established by the Board or the Committee, as applicable.

     (c) BENEFITS.  During the Employment Term and subject to the limitations
and alternative rights set forth in this Section 3(c), Executive and his
eligible dependents shall have the right to participate in any retirement,
pension, insurance, health or other benefit plan or program that has been or is
hereafter adopted by Employer (or in which Employer participates) according to
the terms of such plan or program with all the benefits, rights and privileges
as are enjoyed by any other senior executive officer of Employer.  If the
participation of Executive would adversely affect the qualification of a plan
intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as the same may be amended from time to time (the "Code"), Employer shall
have the right to exclude Executive from that plan in return for his
participation in (i) a nonqualified deferred compensation plan or (ii) an
arrangement providing substantially comparable benefits under a plan that is
either a qualified or nonqualified plan under the Code, at Employer's option.

     (d) VACATION AND LEAVES OF ABSENCE.  Executive shall be entitled to four
weeks of paid vacation leave during each 12-month period and paid holidays in
accordance with Employer's established policies.  In addition to the foregoing,
Executive may be granted leaves of absence with or without pay as shall be
mutually agreed upon by the Board and Executive.

     (e) EXPENSES.  Executive shall be reimbursed, subject to the Company's
receipt of invoices or similar records as the Company may reasonably request in
accordance with its policies and procedures, for all reasonable and necessary
expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder.

     (f) OPTIONS.  During the Employment Term, Executive shall have the right
to participate in Employer's 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, 1996 Stock Incentive
Plan, 1997 Long Term Incentive Plan and any similar plan adopted by Employer;
provided, however, all grants of stock options with respect to such plans, and
the terms of such options, shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the
Board or the Committee, as applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
vesting of the 170,000 options to purchase Common Stock held by Executive as of
the date of this Agreement shall be accelerated so that such options shall be
fully vested and exercisable as of the date of this Agreement.

     4. CHANGE OF CONTROL COMPENSATION.  On only one occasion, in the event of
a Change of Control of Employer during the Employment Term or within 6 months
after a termination of the Employment Term by Employer pursuant to Sections
5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii) in contemplation of such Change of Control or by Executive
pursuant to Section 5(b)(i), Employer shall pay to Executive, within 30 days
after the date of such Change of Control, in one lump sum, subject to
withholding for applicable federal, state and local taxes, an amount equal to
the lesser of (a) $2,595,000 and (b) 2.99 times Executive's "base amount" (as
such term is used in Code Section 280G) ("Change of Control Compensation");
provided, however, that in the event that tax is imposed on Executive under
Code Section 4999 that would not have been imposed had Executive not received
the Change of Control Compensation, the amount of the Change of Control
Compensation shall be increased such that the actual net after-tax amount,
taking into account such increase and the federal and state income tax and the
tax imposed by Code Section 4999 on such increase, equals the hypothetical net
after-tax amount that Executive would have received if the Change of Control
Compensation was not increased and no tax was imposed by Code Section 4999 as a
result of the Change of Control Compensation.

     For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of Control" shall be deemed to
have occurred if:

     (a) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), other than
(i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit
plan of the Company, (ii) a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the
stockholders of Employer in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of stock of Employer, or controlled directly or indirectly by the
stockholders of Employer, or (iii) David M. Glickman or any of his affiliates
becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of Employer representing 50% or
more of the total voting power represented by Employer's then outstanding
securities which vote generally in the election of directors (referred to
herein as "Voting Securities"); or

     (b) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the
beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new directors whose
election by the Board or nomination for election by Employer's stockholders was
approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office
who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or
nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to
constitute a majority of the Board; or







                                     - 4 -


<PAGE>   5




     (c) the stockholders of Employer approve a merger or consolidation of
Employer with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which
would result in the Voting Securities of Employer outstanding immediately prior
thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
converted into Voting Securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the
total voting power represented by the Voting Securities of Employer or such
surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation,
and such transaction is consummated; or

     (d) the stockholders of Employer approve a plan of complete liquidation of
Employer or an agreement for the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease
or other disposition by Employer of (in one transaction or a series of
transactions) all or substantially all of Employer's assets, and such
transaction is consummated.

     5. TERMINATION AND TERMINATION BENEFITS.

     (a) TERMINATION BY EMPLOYER.  (i)  WITHOUT CAUSE.  Employer may terminate
the Employment Term and Executive's employment at any time for any reason or
for no reason at all upon two weeks' prior written notice to Executive.
Employer may elect to require Executive to continue his employment under this
Agreement for a period up to 60 days.  In connection with the termination of
Executive's employment pursuant to this Section 5(a)(i), Executive shall (A) be
paid his Base Compensation and any bonus otherwise payable to him in accordance
with Sections 3(a) and 3(b) and be entitled to the benefits set forth in
Sections 3(c), 3(d) and 3(e) up to the effective date of such termination and
(B) receive the Termination Compensation specified in Section 5(d).

         (ii) WITH CAUSE.  Employer may terminate the Employment Term with Cause
immediately with written notice to Executive.  Employer may elect to require
Executive to continue to perform his duties under this Agreement for a period
up to 30 days following notice of termination.  In connection with the
termination of Executive's employment pursuant to this Section 5(a)(ii),
Executive shall (A) be paid his Base Compensation up to the effective date of
such termination, (B) forfeit his entitlement to any bonus otherwise payable to
him in accordance with Section 3(b) and (C) be entitled to the benefits set
forth in Sections 3(c), 3(d) and 3(e) up to the effective date of such
termination.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean a finding by
the Board:

              (1) that Executive has materially harmed







                                     - 5 -


<PAGE>   6

     Employer or the Operating Partnership through an act of dishonesty
     or material conflict of interest which relates to the performance
     of Executive's duties hereunder,

                      (2) that Executive was convicted of a felony, or

                      (3) that Executive failed to perform in any material 
     respect the duties required by this Agreement (other than a failure due to
     disability) after written notice specifying the failure and a
     reasonable opportunity to cure (it being understood that if
     Executive's failure to perform is not of a type requiring a single
     action to fully cure, then Executive may commence the cure
     promptly after such written notice and thereafter diligently
     prosecute such cure to completion).

             (iii)  DISABILITY.  If due to illness, physical or mental 
disability, or other incapacity, Executive shall fail during any four 
consecutive months to perform in any material respect the duties required by 
this Agreement, Employer may terminate the Employment Term upon 30 days' 
written notice to Executive. In connection with the termination of Executive's
employment pursuant to this Section 5(a)(iii), Executive shall (A) continue to 
receive his Base Compensation payable to him in accordance with Section 3(a) 
and be entitled to the benefits set forth in Sections 3(c) (or the after-tax 
cash equivalent thereof), 3(d) and 3(e) up to the effective date of such 
termination, (B) be paid any bonus otherwise payable to him in accordance with
Section 3(b) and (C) receive the Termination Compensation specified in 
Section 5(d).  This Section 5(a)(iii) shall not limit the entitlement of 
Executive, his estate or beneficiaries to any disability or other benefits 
available to Executive under any disability insurance or other benefits plan 
or policy which is maintained by Employer for Executive's benefit.

     (b) TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE.  (i)  WITH GOOD REASON.  Executive may
terminate this Agreement with Good Reason upon written notice to Employer.  At
the election of Employer, Executive shall continue his employment under this
Agreement for a period up to 30 days following notice of termination.  In
connection with the termination of Executive's employment pursuant to this
Section 5(b)(i), Executive shall (A) be paid his Base Compensation and any
bonus otherwise payable to him in accordance with Sections 3(a) and 3(b) and be
entitled to the benefits set forth in Sections 3(c), 3(d) and 3(e) up to the







                                     - 6 -


<PAGE>   7



effective date of such termination and (B) receive the Termination Compensation
specified in Section 5(d).

     For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean (x) the material
breach by Employer of its obligations hereunder and the failure of Employer to
cure such breach within 30 days after receipt by Employer of a written notice
from Executive specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the breach or (y)
any material diminution in the scope of Executive's responsibilities and
duties.

              (ii) WITHOUT GOOD REASON.  Executive may terminate the 
Employment Term at any time for any reason or for no reason at all upon 
60 days' written notice to Employer, during which period Executive shall 
continue to perform his duties under this Agreement if Employer so elects, 
provided, however, that, by written notice to Executive, Employer shall have 
the right to accelerate the effective date of such termination to any date 
following Executive's notice of termination (including the day on which such 
notice is given).  In connection with the termination of Executive's employment
pursuant to this Section 5(b)(ii), Executive shall be paid his Base 
Compensation and any bonus otherwise payable to him in accordance with 
Sections 3(a) and 3(b) and be entitled to the benefits set forth in 
Sections 3(c), 3(d) and 3(e) up to the effective date of termination.

     (c) DEATH.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Employment Term shall terminate on the date of Executive's death.  In
connection with the termination of Executive's employment pursuant to this
Section 5(c), Executive shall be paid his Base Compensation and any bonus
otherwise payable to Executive by reason of Executive's performance up to the
date of Executive's death in accordance with Sections 3(a) and 3(b).  This
Section 5(c) shall not limit the entitlement of Executive under any insurance
or other benefits plan or policy which is maintained by Employer for
Executive's benefit.

     (d) TERMINATION COMPENSATION.  In the event of a termination of the
Employment Term pursuant to Section 5(a)(i), 5(a)(iii) or 5(b)(i), Employer
shall pay to Executive, within 30 days of termination, in one lump sum, subject
to withholding for applicable federal, state and local taxes, an amount equal
to the greater of (i) 50% of Executive's annual Base Compensation as of the
effective date of termination or (ii) 50% of the product of (A) Executive's
annual Base Compensation as of the effective date of termination times (B) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between such date of
termination and expiration of the Employment Term and the denominator of which
is 365 ("Termination Compensation"); provided, however, if there







                                     - 7 -


<PAGE>   8



shall have been a Change of Control such that Executive has received or within
the six-month plus 30-day period after the date of such termination receives
the Change of Control Compensation provided for in Section 4, then the amount
of the Termination Compensation shall be zero.

     6. COVENANTS OF EXECUTIVE.

     (a) NO CONFLICTS.  Executive represents and warrants that he is not
personally subject to any agreement, order or decree which restricts his
entering into this Agreement and performing his duties with Employer hereunder.

     (b) RESTRICTIVE COVENANT; CONSULTING SERVICES.  (i)  During the Employment
Term and, except for serving solely as a director of a corporation with no
other material interest therein, for a period of one year following the
termination of the Employment Term (the Employment Term and such one-year
period are referred to together as the "Restrictive Period"), except for
Passive Investments and except for investments held as of the date hereof and
identified on Exhibit A, Executive shall not engage in, directly or indirectly,
or be interested in (as owner, partner, shareholder, employee, director,
officer, agent, consultant or otherwise), with or without compensation, the
acquisition, development, construction, renovation, leasing, ownership or
management of multifamily apartment properties in the Territory.

             (ii)  For a period of one year following the termination of the 
Employment Term, Executive hereby agrees to consult with the Board and 
management of Employer and its subsidiaries in such manner and on such 
business and financial matters as may be reasonably requested from time to 
time by the Board, including but not limited to corporate strategy, budgeting 
and future investments, acquisitions and dispositions and strategies therefor, 
and debt and equity financings; provided, however, in no event shall Executive 
be required to provide more than 20 hours of such services in any month.

             (iii)  As compensation for the restrictions after the Employment 
Term contained in Section 6(b)(i) and the services to be performed pursuant to
Section 6(b)(ii), Employer shall pay to Executive, within 30 days of
termination, in one lump sum, subject to withholding for applicable federal,
state and local taxes, an amount equal to $900,000.

             (iv)   In the event of a termination of the Employment pursuant 
to Section 5(a)(ii), Employer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, with 
notice to Executive within 15 days after the date of such termination, elect 
to waive the







                                     - 8 -


<PAGE>   9

restrictions contained in Section 6(b)(i) and its right to receive the services
set forth in Section 6(b)(ii), and in such event Employer shall be relieved of
its obligations to make the payment set forth in Section 6(b)(iii).

         (v)  For purposes of this Agreement,

     (A) a "Passive Investment" is an investment where
         (1) Executive beneficially holds an equity interest in
         such investment which is no greater than 5% of all
         equity interests in such entity or venture, whether or
         not such entity or venture is subject to the reporting
         requirements of the Exchange Act and (2) Executive's
         return is based in all material aspects upon the money
         or other assets invested and as to which no services
         are provided;

     (B) a "Principal Market" is a geographic market area
         in which the Company, directly or indirectly through
         the Operating Partnership or any of their respective
         subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the "Group"),
         during the Employment Term and, for purposes of the
         Restrictive Period following the termination of the
         Employment Term, on the last day of the Employment
         Term, owns or manages more than 1,000 apartment units;
         and

     (C) "Territory" means (1) during the Employment Term, anywhere in
         the United States of America, and (2) during the Restrictive Period
         following the termination of the Employment Term, the Principal
         Markets.

     (c) NO SOLICITATION.  During the Restrictive Period, Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly, solicit or contact any employee of any member of the
Group with a view to inducing or encouraging such employee to leave the employ
of the Company or such other person for the purpose of being hired by
Executive, an employer affiliated with Executive or any competitor of any
member of the Group.

     (d) NON-DISCLOSURE.  Executive shall not disclose or use, during the
Restrictive Period or any time thereafter, except in the pursuit of the
business for or on behalf of the Group, any Trade Secret of the Group, whether
such Trade Secret is in Executive's memory or embodied in writing or other
physical form.








                                     - 9 -


<PAGE>   10


     For purposes of this Agreement, "Trade Secret" means any information which
derives independent economic value, actual or potential, with respect to the
Group from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by
proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its
disclosure or use and is the subject of efforts to maintain its secrecy that
are reasonable under the circumstances, including, but not limited to, trade
secrets, tenant lists and other proprietary commercial information.  However,
the term "Trade Secrets" shall not include general "know-how" information
acquired by Executive during the course of his employment which could have been
obtained by him from public sources without the expenditure of significant
time, effort and expense which does not relate to the Group.

     (e) RETURN OF DOCUMENTS.  Upon termination of employment, Executive shall
return all originals and copies of books, records, documents, customer lists,
sales materials, tapes, keys, credit cards and other property of the Company
within Executive's possession or under his control, but specifically excluding
personal effects of Executive such as his personal rolodex, diary and files,
whether in written or electronic form, including computer files.

     (f) ACKNOWLEDGMENT.  Executive acknowledges that he will be directly and
materially involved as a senior executive officer in all important policy and
operational decisions of Employer and other members of the Group.  Executive
further acknowledges that the scope of the foregoing restrictions has been
specifically  bargained between Employer and Executive, each being fully
informed of all relevant facts.  Accordingly, Executive acknowledges that the
foregoing restrictions of this Section 6 are fair and reasonable, are the
minimum necessary to protect Employer, other members of the Group, the
stockholders of Employer and the public from the unfair actions, direct or
indirect, of Executive who, as a result of his employment with Employer, will
have had unlimited access to the most confidential and important information of
Employer, other members of the Group, and the business and future plans of the
Group.

     7. PRIOR AGREEMENT.  This Agreement supersedes and is in lieu of any and
all other employment arrangements between Executive and Employer or its
predecessor or any subsidiary and any and all such employment agreements and
arrangements are hereby terminated and deemed of no further force or effect.

     8. ASSIGNMENT.  Neither this Agreement nor any rights or duties of
Executive hereunder shall be assignable by Executive and any such purported
assignment by him shall be void.  Employer may assign all or any of its rights
hereunder to any member of







                                     - 10 -


<PAGE>   11



the Group, and to any other person provided that substantially all of the
assets of the Company are also transferred to such other person.

     9. SUCCESSOR TO EMPLOYER.  Employer will require any successor or assign
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise)
to all or substantially all the business or assets of Employer, as the case may
be, expressly, absolutely and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Employer would be
required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place.
Any failure of Employer to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of
any such succession or assignment shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive's
personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors,
heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.  If Executive should die while any
amounts are still payable to Executive hereunder, all such amounts, unless
otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement to Executive's devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no
such designee, to Executive's estate.

     10. NOTICES.  Any notice required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
delivered personally, by overnight courier service, or by facsimile
transmission, in any case with receipt acknowledged, or three days after being
sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, to the following addresses (or to any other address that any party may

contract that it is not the intention of either party to violate any public
policy, statutory or common law, and that if any sentence, paragraph, clause or
combination of the same of this Agreement is in violation of the law of any
state where applicable, such sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of the
same shall be void in the jurisdictions where it is unlawful, and the remainder
of this Agreement shall remain binding on the parties to make the covenants of
this Agreement binding only to the extent that it may be lawfully done under
the existing applicable laws.  In the event that any part of any covenant of
this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly
broad thereby making the covenant unenforceable, the parties hereto agree, and
it is their desire that such court shall substitute a judicially enforceable
limitation in its place, and that as so modified the covenant shall be binding
upon the parties as if originally set forth herein.

     14. OPPORTUNITY TO EMPLOY COUNSEL.  Executive acknowledges receipt of a
copy of this Agreement prior to its execution by him and also acknowledges that
he has had ample time and opportunity to employ counsel of his choice to
provide advice concerning the

terms and conditions of this Agreement and Executive's prospective employment
with Employer.

     15. EQUITABLE RELIEF; LIMITATIONS ON RELIEF.  In the event of any breach
by either party of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement, including,
without limitation, any covenant contained in Section 6 other than Section 6(b)
as described below, it is specifically understood and agreed that the other
party shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy which it may have, to
equitable relief by way of injunction, an accounting or otherwise and, in the
case of Employer, to notify any employer or prospective employer of Executive
as to the terms and conditions hereof.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Executive breaches the
restrictions after the Employment Term contained in Section 6(b)(i) or fails to
perform the services required by Section 6(b)(ii), Employer's sole and only
remedy therefor shall be to receive from Executive liquidated damages in, and,
within 30 days of notice from Employer to Executive of such breach or failure,
Executive shall pay to Employer, an amount equal to (x) $75,000 times (y) the
number of months remaining in the one-year period following the termination of
the Employment Term as of the date of such breach or failure, including the
month in which such breach or failure occurred.

     16. INDEMNIFICATION.

     (a)  INDEMNIFICATION BY EMPLOYER.  To the extent permitted by applicable
law, Employer shall indemnify Executive as provided in its Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws as of the date of this Agreement.

     (b)  INDEMNIFICATION BY EXECUTIVE.  Executive shall indemnify the Company
for any and all damages, costs and expenses resulting from any of his acts or
omissions that cause harm to the Company, its business or its reputation if and
to the extent that Employer is not required to indemnify Executive therefor
pursuant to Section 16(a).

     17. GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed,
interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois,
exclusive of the conflict of laws provisions of the State of Illinois.
