     THIS LEASE (“Lease”) is entered into as of the 11th day of September, 2003, by and between
PANATTONI DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLC, a California limited liability company, whose address is 10255
W. Higgins, Suite 110, Rosemont, Illinois 60018 (together with its successors and assigns,
“Landlord”) and COLEMAN CABLE, INC., a Delaware corporation, whose address is 1586 Lakeside Drive,
Waukegan, Illinois 60085, and will be as of the Commencement Date, the Premises (as hereinafter
defined) (together with its permitted successors and assigns, “Tenant”).



     1. AGREEMENT TO LEASE. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby accepts
and leases from Landlord, that building (the “Premises” or the “Building”) to be constructed on the
real estate legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the
“Land”), which Building is located at the corner of Lakeside and Shields Drive, Waukegan, Illinois
60085, and which shall contain approximately Thirty Thousand One Hundred Seventy Five (30,175)
rentable square feet, the plan for which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and made a part
hereof (the Land, the Premises and other improvements now or hereafter contained on the Land are
collectively referenced to herein as the “Property”) for the Term (as defined below). Not less
than sixty (60) days prior to the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined), Landlord shall submit
in writing to Tenant the exact number of rentable square feet contained in the Building measured in
accordance with the BOMA 1996 standards and otherwise consistent with usual and customary practice
in Lake County, Illinois. Such calculations shall be subject to verification by Tenant and/or
Tenant’s architect. Such exact determination shall be used, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease or in any Exhibit attached hereto to the contrary, in calculating
Base Rent, Tenant Improvement Allowance as more specifically enumerated in the Work Letter (as
hereinafter defined) and the Purchase Price set forth in Section 28.2 hereof. Accordingly,
any such calculations of Base Rent, Tenant Improvement Allowance as more specifically enumerated in
the Work Letter (as hereinafter defined), and the Purchase Price, including, but not limited to,
the amounts enumerated in Exhibit D attached hereto, shall be recomputed by Landlord and
Tenant in accordance with such exact calculations. In the event Landlord and Tenant cannot agree
on the exact rentable square footage of the Premises, then Landlord and Tenant (or their respective
representatives or architects) shall select a mutually agreeable independent architect to make a
determination as to such exact calculations in accordance with the terms of this Lease, and such
determination shall be final and binding on both Landlord and Tenant. Notwithstanding anything
hereinabove contained to the contrary, the Premises shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be
Thirty Thousand One Hundred Seventy Five (30,175) rentable square feet unless it is ultimately
determined in accordance with the provisions hereof that the Premises contain 29,875 rentable
square feet or less or, conversely, 30,475 rentable square feet or more, in which event the actual
number of rentable square feet as so determined shall be utilized.



     2. THE TERM. As used herein, the “Term” shall mean the period of time commencing on
the Commencement Date and ending one hundred twenty (120) calendar months after the Commencement
Date, provided that if the Commencement Date is not the first (1st) day of a calendar month, the
Term shall end one hundred twenty (120) calendar months after the last day of the calendar month in
which the Commencement Date occurs, unless extended or sooner



 









 







terminated as provided herein, subject to the agreements herein contained. As used herein,
the “Commencement Date” shall mean the Substantial Completion Date as defined in Section
6.1 of the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit C and made a part hereof (the “Work
Letter”). In connection herewith the Commencement Date shall occur no later than June 1, 2004 (the
“Target Date”) except that the Target Date shall be extended on a day for day basis upon timely
notice to Tenant to the extent such extension is attributable to a Force Majeure Delay (not to
exceed ninety (90) days) or Tenant Delay as defined in Section 6.2 of the Work Letter. Not
less than sixty five (65) days prior to the Target Date, Landlord shall deliver written notice to
Tenant whether the Building will be Substantially Complete by the Target Date. If Landlord is not
thereafter able to achieve the Substantial Completion Date of the Building as defined in
Section 6.1 of the Work Letter by July 1, 2004 then Landlord shall deliver, not less than
sixty five (65) days prior to July 1, 2004, written notice to Tenant of such fact. If Landlord
shall fail to timely deliver such notices to Tenant as set forth above, Landlord shall be
responsible for Tenant’s increased base rent for Tenant’s holding over under Tenant’s lease for the
premises located at 1586 S. Lakeside Drive, Waukegan, Illinois 60085. In accordance with the
provisions contained in the Work Letter and this Lease, and with specific reference to the
immediately foregoing sentence, notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if the
Commencement Date does not occur by September 1, 2004, (the “Outside Date”), except that the
Outside Date shall be extended on a day for day basis upon timely notice to Tenant to the extent
such extension is attributable to a Tenant Delay as defined in Section 6.2 of the Work
Letter. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord and
this Lease shall thereupon be null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations under this Lease. If Landlord delivers the notices as set forth above informing Tenant
that the Building will be Substantially Completed by either the Target Date or July 1, 2004 and the
Building is not Substantially Completed by such dates, but instead the Building is Substantially
Completed on a date other than the first (1st) day of June, July, or August then the
parties agree that the Commencement Date shall occur on the seventh (7) business day after such
date.



     3. RENT. Tenant shall pay Rent to Landlord at the office of Landlord or to such other
person or at such other place as Landlord may designate, without offsets or deductions of any kind
whatsoever, subject, however, to the otherwise applicable provisions hereof at the times and in the
manner hereinafter set forth. As used herein “Rent” shall mean Base Rent (as defined below),
Additional Rent (as defined below) and all other amounts to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under
this Lease or the Work Letter, subject however, to the otherwise applicable provisions hereof.



     4. BASE RENT. Subject to the otherwise applicable provisions contained in the last
sentence of Section 16.2 hereof, Base Rent shall begin to accrue and be payable on the date
(the “Rent Commencement Date”) which is six (6) months following the Commencement Date and on the
first day of each calendar month thereafter during the Term. The period of time between the
Commencement Date and the Rent Commencement Date is referred to herein as the “Free Rent Period”.
Tenant shall pay Base Rent in the respective amounts set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto
and made a part hereof. The Base Rent payable for each Lease Year (as defined below) shall be paid
in twelve (12) equal monthly installments, in advance, not later than the first (1st) day of each
month, provided, however, that no payments shall accrue or be payable during the Free Rent Period.
If the Rent Commencement Date is other than the first (1st) day of a calendar month, then the
installment of Base Rent for such initial calendar month shall be



- 2 -









 







prorated on a per diem basis for such fractional period and shall be paid on the Rent
Commencement Date. As used herein, “Lease Year” shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month
period beginning with the Commencement Date, except that if the Commencement Date is other than the
first (1st) day of a calendar month, then the first (1st) Lease Year shall be the period from the
Commencement Date through the date twelve (12) months after the last day of the calendar month in
which the Commencement Date occurs, and each subsequent Lease Year shall be the period of twelve
(12) months following the last day of the prior Lease Year.



     5. ADDITIONAL RENT. In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Section 4
hereof, Tenant shall pay as “Additional Rent” for the portion of the Term following the Free
Rent Period the amounts determined as set forth below in this Section 5, provided, however,
that Tenant shall at all times after the Commencement Date be directly responsible for the cost of
electricity and natural gas service to the Premises as well as all telephone services required by
Tenant.



     5.1 Definitions. As used in this Lease, the following terms shall have the following

by Landlord in connection with reducing or limiting the increase in any Taxes, but only to
the extent any reduction or limitation is obtained. “Taxes” shall not include inheritance,
income, transfer or franchise taxes paid by Landlord. In determining the amount of Taxes
for any Calendar Year, the amount of special assessments to be included shall be limited to
the amount of the installment (plus any interest payable thereon) of such special assessment
which would have been required to have been paid during such year if Landlord had elected to
have such special assessment paid over the maximum period of time permitted by law. Except
as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, all references to Taxes for a particular
Calendar Year shall be deemed to refer to Taxes levied, assessed or otherwise imposed for
such year without regard to when such Taxes are payable.

reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Landlord, without duplication, for owning, managing,

once every six (6) years; and except as provided below; depreciation or amortization charges
attributable to Capital Expenditures; interest and principal payments on mortgages; real
estate brokerage and leasing commissions; and any other expenditures for which Landlord has
been reimbursed other than hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cost of any
Capital Expenditures to the Property made after the date of this Lease which are intended to
reduce Operating Expenses or which are required under any laws, statutes, codes, ordinances,
or governmental rules, regulations or requirements, or judicial or administrative rules,
orders or decrees (collectively, “Laws”) which were not applicable to the Property at the
time it was constructed, amortized in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, together with interest on the unamortized cost of any such improvements (at the
prevailing construction loan rate available to Landlord on the date the cost of such
improvements was incurred) shall be included in Operating Expenses. The cost of any Capital
Expenditures made in connection with resurfacing the parking areas, driveways and sidewalks
on the Property shall also be similarly amortized



- 4 -









 







over the useful life thereof, with interest, as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, and included in Operating Expenses.



     5.2 Tax Amount. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Rent, in addition to the Base Rent
and the Operating Expense Amount (as defined below), the Taxes (the “Tax Amount”). Tenant shall
pay to Landlord the Tax Amount with respect to each Calendar Year in monthly installments, at the
same time and place as Base Rent is to be paid, in an amount estimated from time to time by
Landlord by a written notice to Tenant (the “Estimated Tax Payments”). Landlord shall deliver to
Tenant as soon as practical after the close of each Calendar Year (including the Calendar Year in
which this Lease terminates) a statement showing the amount of the Taxes for such Calendar Year.
Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord will not be able to deliver such statement until Landlord
receives the real estate tax bills for each Calendar Year, which bills arc currently received six
(6) to nine (9) months after the end of each Calendar Year. If the Estimated Tax Payments paid by
Tenant during any Calendar Year are less than the Tax Amount for such Calendar Year, Tenant shall
pay any deficiency to Landlord as shown by such statement within thirty (30) days after receipt of
such statement. If the Estimated Tax Payments paid by Tenant during any Calendar Year exceed the
Tax Amount due from Tenant for such Calendar Year, such excess shall be credited against payments
next due hereunder. If no such payments are next due, such excess shall be refunded by Landlord.




     (a) Tenant may contest any Taxes in respect of the Property and attempt to obtain a
reduction in the assessed valuation of the Property or otherwise for the purpose of reducing
the same, however, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have the right to join in such
proceeding with Tenant. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant and execute any document which
may be reasonably necessary and proper for any proceeding in connection with the reduction
of Taxes. If a tax reduction is obtained, there shall be a reduction in the Tax Amount due
for the respective Calendar Year and any excess payments by Tenant in respect of the Tax
Amount, to the extent of Tenant’s proportionate share of such refund, shall be refunded by
Landlord, without interest, to Tenant as the refunds to which Landlord is entitled from a
taxing authority with respect to such Calendar Year have been received by Landlord.
Expenses incurred by Tenant shall be deducted from any tax reduction obtained.




     (b) Tenant shall not be liable for increases in Taxes attributable to additional
improvements to the Property that are constructed in a Calendar Year included within the
Term unless the additional improvements are reasonably approved, in advance, by Tenant,
unless such improvements are required by law or governmental authority.




     (c) The monthly impounds required hereunder for Taxes paid by Tenant shall only be used
by Landlord to pay Taxes accruing commencing with the Rent Commencement Date. Landlord
shall not be required to deposit the monthly impounds for Taxes paid by Tenant in a
segregated account but Landlord shall provide Tenant as of the end of each Calendar Year
with a yearly accounting showing the beginning and ending balance of the aggregate impounds
paid by Tenant and the Taxes paid therefrom for the Property paid by Landlord.

     5.3 Operating Expense Amount. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Rent, in addition to
the Base Rent and the Tax Amount, an amount (the “Operating Expense Amount”) equal to the Operating
Expenses. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Operating Expense Amount with respect to each Calendar
Year in monthly installments, at the same time and place as Base Rent is to be paid, in an amount
reasonably estimated from time to time by Landlord by a written notice to Tenant (the “Estimated
Operating Expense Payments”). Landlord shall deliver to Tenant as soon as practical after the
close of each Calendar Year (including the Calendar Year in which this Lease terminates) a
statement showing the amount of the Operating Expenses for such Calendar Year and the Operating
Expense Amount. If the Estimated Operating Expense Payments paid by Tenant during any Calendar
Year are less than the Operating Expense Amount for such Calendar Year, Tenant shall pay any
deficiency to Landlord as shown by such statement within thirty (30) days after receipt of such
statement. If the Estimated Operating Expense Payments paid by Tenant during any Calendar Year
exceed the Operating Expense Amount due from Tenant for such Calendar Year, such excess shall be
credited against payments next due hereunder. If no such payments are next due, such excess shall
be refunded by Landlord. Landlord’s failure to deliver an annual statement of the Operating
Expenses for any Calendar Year shall not constitute a waiver or release of, or relieve Tenant from,
its obligations under this Subsection.



     5.4 Tenant’s Audit Right. During the 270-day period immediately following Landlord’s
delivery of any annual statement relating to Operating Expenses, Tenant shall have the right to
inspect Landlord’s accounting records relating thereto (as applicable to the statement delivered)
at Landlord’s or its agent’s office, upon reasonable prior notice. Unless Tenant shall take
written exception to any item in any such statement within said 270-day period, such statement
shall be considered as final and accepted by Tenant. Any payment due to Landlord or credit or
payment due to “Tenant as shown on any such statement shall be paid or applied in the manner and
within the time periods described in Section 5.3 above, whether or not written exception is
taken thereto, provided that such payment or application shall be without prejudice to any such
written exception. If Tenant makes such timely written exception, a certification as to the proper
amount of the Operating Expense Amount shall be made by an independent accountant reasonably
acceptable to both parties, which shall be final and conclusive. Tenant shall pay the accountant’s
fees in connection with such audit and certification unless it is determined that Landlord’s
original determination of the Operating Expense Amount was overstated by more than four percent
(4%), in which case, Landlord shall pay such accountant’s fees.



     5.5 Survival. Without limiting any other obligations of Tenant which shall survive
the expiration of the Term or a termination of Tenant’s right of possession, the obligations of
Tenant to pay the Additional Rent provided for in this Section 5 shall survive the
expiration of the Term or a termination of Tenant’s right of possession.



     6. SERVICES. As long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, after expiration
of any applicable grace or cure period, if any, Landlord shall furnish the following services, and
the cost thereof shall be deemed Operating Expenses:




     (a) Repairs and maintenance (and if necessary, replacements) of heating,
ventilating and air conditioning systems (the “HVAC Systems”) providing service to the 



- 6 -









 







Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any
repairs, maintenance or replacements are necessitated by the negligent act or omission of
Tenant, its agents, servants or employees, then the cost thereof shall be billed directly to
Tenant, and Tenant shall pay Landlord therefor within fifteen (15) days after receiving such
bill. Such HVAC Systems shall at all times be operable by Tenant.




     (b) Domestic water and refuse disposal service. In the event that Tenant uses
or requires a materially greater amount of water or refuse disposal service than the usual
and ordinary office use of either of such services, then Landlord may bill Tenant for the
additional cost of such increased use and Tenant shall pay Landlord therefor within thirty
(30) days after receiving such bill.




     (c) Exterior window washing of all windows in the Premises, weather permitting, at
intervals to be reasonably determined by Landlord, but not less than three (3) times within
a Calendar Year.



     Landlord shall arrange with the public utility companies providing the Building with
electricity and natural gas service and telephone, for the supply of such services to the Premises.
Tenant shall pay the public utility companies and/or municipality directly for any services
provided to the Premises. Tenant shall bear the cost of maintaining light fixtures and replacing
bulbs, tubes, and ballasts in the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s cost, for
extending and distributing Tenant’s telephone lines throughout the Building.



     Landlord shall not be obligated to provide any services other than those expressly set forth
above in this Section. Landlord does not warrant that any of the services mentioned above will be
free from interruptions caused by repairs, improvements or alterations of equipment, or by war,
insurrection, civil commotion, acts of God or governmental action, strikes, lockouts, picketing,
whether legal or illegal, accidents, inability of Landlord to obtain fuel or supplies, or any other
cause or causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. Any interruption of service attributable to
a cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control shall not be deemed an eviction (actual or
constructive) or a disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or any part thereof,
and shall not render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages or relieve Tenant from performance of
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall have the right of access to the Premises
twenty four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week during the Term of this Lease.



     7. SECURITY DEPOSIT. INTENTIONALLY DELETED



     8. USE. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises for general office purposes and for
no other purpose, unless otherwise expressly consented to in writing by Landlord, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall not use or occupy the
Premises, or permit the Premises to be used or occupied contrary to or in violation of any Laws or
any covenant, condition or restriction of record, or in any manner which would: (i) cause
structural injury to the Building; (ii) invalidate any insurance policy affecting the Building;
(iii) increase the amount of premiums for any insurance policy affecting the Building; (iv) affect
any certificate of occupancy affecting the Building; (v) be dangerous to persons or property; or
(vi) create a nuisance, or disturb any other occupant of the Building;

     9. CONDITION OF PREMISES. Subject to the completion of any items set forth on the
punch list to be prepared under Section 4 of the Work Letter, Landlord represents and
warrants to Tenant to the best of its actual knowledge, that the Premises will be in good, clean
and sanitary order and good repair and in first class condition and at the Commencement Date will
be free from defects in materials and workmanship other than latent defects in the Tenant
Improvements or the Building of which Landlord is notified within one (1) year after the
Commencement Date. If within one (1) year after the Commencement Date, Landlord receives written
notice of any latent defects in the Tenant Improvements or the Building, Landlord shall, as soon as
is commercially reasonable, at its sole cost and expense, correct any such latent defects
identified in such written notice. No promise of Landlord to alter, remodel or improve the
Building and no representation respecting the condition of the Building has been made by Landlord
to Tenant other than as may be contained herein or in the Work Letter.



     10. EARLY POSSESSION. If Tenant takes possession of all or any part of the Premises
prior to the Commencement Date, all of the covenants and conditions of this Lease shall be binding
upon the parties hereto the same as if the Commencement Date had been fixed as of the date when
Tenant took such possession, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Rent for the period prior to the
Commencement Date, a proportionate amount of the Rent as set forth in this Lease based upon the
portion of the Premises of which Tenant has taken possession.



     11. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.



     11.1 Prohibitions. Subject to the provisions contained in Section 11.5
hereof, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord: (a) assign this Lease or
any possessory interest hereunder other than to an Affiliate (as defined below); (b) permit any
assignment of Tenant’s interest herein by operation of law or otherwise; (c) sublet the Premises or
any part thereof other than to an Affiliate; or (d) permit the use of the Premises by any parties
other than Tenant, its agents and employees. Any assignment to an Affiliate or Landlord’s consent
to any assignment, subletting or transfer, or Landlord’s election to accept any assignee, sublessee
or transferee as Tenant hereunder, shall not release the original Tenant from any covenant or
obligation under this Lease. Landlord’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall not
constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to consent to any future assignment or subletting. For
purposes of this Lease, an “Affiliate” shall mean any person or entity controlling, controlled by
or under common control with Tenant. For purposes hereof, “control” shall mean the ownership of
not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the economic ownership interests in an entity, along with
the power to control the management and policy-making decisions of such entity. In the case of any
assignment permitted hereunder (whether to an Affiliate or otherwise), the assignee shall assume in
writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be
kept and performed, and prior to the effective date of any such assignment, Landlord shall receive
a fully-executed original of such assignment and assumption agreement, in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Landlord.



     11.2 Notice to Landlord. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of any proposed
sublease or assignment at least thirty (30) (ten (10) business days if to an Affiliate) days prior
to the effective date of such proposed sublease or assignment. Such notice shall contain the name
of the proposed sublessee or assignee, a copy of the proposed sublease or assignment document, a
description of the intended use of the Premises by the proposed sublessee or assignee, and such



- 8 -









 







other information as Landlord may reasonably request to evaluate the character, reputation and
credit worthiness of the proposed assignee or sublessee.



     11.3 Receipts. Without limitation of any other provision hereof, should Tenant assign
this Lease or sublet the Property to an Affiliate or to a person or entity otherwise requiring the
consent of Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to one hundred percent (100%) of the receipts
derived by Tenant from time to time attributable to the assignment or sublease.



     11.4 Transfer of Ownership Interests in Tenant. If Tenant is a partnership or a
corporation whose partnership interests or stock are not publicly traded, any event or transaction
or series of events or transactions resulting in a transfer of control of Tenant shall be deemed to
be a voluntary assignment of this Lease by Tenant and shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section 11 provided, however, that the transfer of ownership interests among the current
owners of Tenant shall be excluded herefrom, provided, further, however, that the commercial credit
of Tenant as reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with its practices then utilized for
tenants similarly situated is not materially and adversely impacted. For purposes of this
Section 11.4 the term “control” means the ownership of not less than fifty-one percent
(51.0%) of the economic interests in an entity, along with the power to control the management and
policy-making decisions of such entity. Prior to the transfer of ownership interests in Tenant
which results in the transfer of control by Tenant, Tenant shall provide Landlord ten (10) business
days prior written notice of all proposed transfers and Landlord’s consent to such transfer where
required shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, however, if Landlord
fails to respond to any request by Tenant for Landlord’s consent within five (5) days of Tenant
furnishing the information required by Section 11.2 hereof to Landlord, the consent of
Landlord shall be presumed to be given.



     11.5 Consent. Consent by Landlord to the assignment, subletting or use of the
Premises by any party other than Tenant which is required pursuant to the provisions contained in
Section 11.1 hereof shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided,
however, if Landlord fails to respond to any request by Tenant for Landlord’s consent within ten
(10) business days of Tenant furnishing the information required by Section 11.2 hereof to
Landlord, the consent of Landlord shall be presumed to be given. Landlord’s review and consent
when required shall be premised upon, among other things, the assignee’s or subtenant’s (a)
intended use of the Premises, (b) financial condition and projections, (c) its reputation in its
industry, and (d) its business experience.



     11.6 Landlord’s Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder all
reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid or
incurred by Landlord in connection with any proposed assignment or subletting hereunder, regardless
of whether Landlord withholds or grants its consent to such assignment or subletting.



     11.7 Tenant Financing. Tenant shall have the absolute right from time to time during
the Term and without Landlord’s consent, written or otherwise, to grant a mortgage or other
security interest in Tenant’s interest in this Lease in connection with any financing required by
it in the operation of its business. In the event Tenant grants a security in Tenant’s interest in
this Lease, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice thereof. Landlord agrees to execute
such confirmation certificates and other documents as Tenant’s lenders may reasonably request



- 9 -









 







in connection with any such financing. In no event shall Tenant’s hypothecation of its
interest in this Lease serve as to cancel this Lease or Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Any
and all of Tenant’s lenders shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant’s
lenders shall be subject to any and all prior, current and future rights, obligations, duties and
defaults of Tenant under this Lease upon any foreclosure of the mortgage, deed in lieu of
foreclosure or other security interest in Tenant’s interest in this Lease.



     12. REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS.



     12.1 Tenant’s Repair Obligations. Tenant will, at its own expense, keep the Premises
in good condition and repair during the Term, and Tenant shall promptly and adequately repair all
damage to the Premises and replace or repair all damaged or broken glass, fixtures, equipment,
improvements and appurtenances, within any reasonable period of time specified by Landlord;
provided, however, that Tenant shall not be obligated to repair or replace the Structural
Components or the HVAC Systems servicing the Premises; such items being the sole responsibility of
Landlord. If Tenant does not fulfill its obligations under this Section 12.1, Landlord
may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost
thereof, plus an additional eight percent (8%) to cover Landlord’s overhead and related expenses,
forthwith upon being billed for same. Landlord may enter the Premises at all reasonable times to
make such repairs and replacements and any other repairs, alterations, improvements and additions
to the Premises or to the Building or to any equipment located in the Building. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, if any damage to the Premises or the Property or to any
equipment thereon or appurtenance thereto results from any act, omission or neglect of Tenant or of
Tenant’s contractors, agents or employees, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, repair such damage
and Tenant shall, upon demand by Landlord, reimburse Landlord forthwith for the total cost of such
repairs, plus an additional eight percent (8%) to cover Landlord’s overhead and related expenses.



     12.2 Prohibition on Alterations. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent
of Landlord, make any alterations, improvements or additions (collectively, “Alterations”) to the
Premises, which: (i) affects Structural Components of the Building; (ii) affects any HVAC Systems,
utility or mechanical systems or equipment in the Building; (iii) is visible from outside of the
Premises; (iv) costs more than $20,000.00 to complete (including all labor and material costs); or
(iv) requires a building permit to perform. Except as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, Tenant may perform Alterations without Landlord’s consent. Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any Alterations when otherwise required
hereunder. Landlord’s consent to any Alterations when otherwise required hereunder (including,
without limitation, Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans, specifications or working drawings
therefor), shall impose no responsibility or liability on Landlord with respect to the
completeness, or design sufficiency thereof or the compliance thereof with all applicable Laws.



     12.3 Performance of Alterations. The work necessary to make any Alterations requiring
Landlord’s consent pursuant to the provisions contained in Section 12.2 hereof (“Major
Alterations”) shall be performed by employees or contractors of Landlord, or, with Landlord’s prior
written consent, by contractors employed by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord. If Major
Alterations, are with Landlord consent performed by Tenant’s employees or contractors Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord, for its review and approval prior to commencing any such



- 10 -









 







Major Alterations, copies of all contracts and subcontracts related to such Major Alterations,
and plans, working drawings and specifications necessary to perform such work. Major Alterations
shall be performed subject to any conditions reasonable under the circumstances as Landlord may
impose, including, without limitation, furnishing Landlord with security for the payment of all
costs to be incurred in connection with such Alterations and insurance against liabilities which
may arise therefrom, as reasonably determined by Landlord. All Alterations performed by Tenant or
its contractors shall be done in a workmanlike manner using only good grades of materials and shall
comply with all insurance requirements and all Laws. Tenant shall permit Landlord to review and
inspect all Alterations during construction. Tenant shall promptly pay to Tenant’s contractors,
when due, the cost of all work and of all decorating required in connection with any Alterations,
and all supervising fees, and upon completion of the Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
evidence of payment and full and final waivers of all liens for labor, services or materials.
Except to the extent caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Tenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and its partners and their respective officers, shareholders,
directors, partners, agents and employees (collectively, the “Landlord Parties”) harmless from all
claims, causes of action, liabilities, losses, costs, damages, liens and expenses related to any
Alterations performed by Tenant’s employees or contractors. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord for Landlord’s review and approval of any Major
Alterations performed by Tenant’s employees or contractors in accordance with this Section
12.3.



     12.4 Emergency Repairs to Structural Components. In the event any defect in or
disrepair of the Structural Components or HVAC Systems causes imminent danger to the business,
employees or invitees of Tenant or subject the Tenant Improvements or other Tenant property to
imminent harm, and provided that Landlord does not correct such deficiencies or cause such repairs
after reasonable attempts to notify Landlord or Landlord’s property manager thereof (if the
emergency allows time for such notice) in a manner consistent with limiting such exposure to
Tenant, then, in such event, Tenant may correct the defects in or make the repairs to the
Structural Components or HVAC Systems and Landlord shall pay Tenant the cost thereof within fifteen
(15) days after receiving the invoice therefor.



     13. CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall have the following rights,
exercisable without notice (except as expressly provided below in this Section) and without
liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, person or business, and without effecting an
eviction, construction or actual, or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises or
giving rise to any claim for set-off or abatement of Rent:




     (a) To change the street address of the Building; provided, however, that if the street
address of the Building is changed and such change is not required by a governmental body or
authority (including, without limitation, the City of Waukegan or the United States Postal
Service), Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Tenant in changing Tenant’s stationary and marketing materials and providing
proper notification thereof in the ordinary course, to the extent reasonably required as a
result of such address change;




     (b) To reasonably approve, prior to installation, window shades, blinds, drapes,
awnings, window ventilators and other similar equipment and lighting which are



- 11 -









 







visible from the exterior of the Premises as being compatible with those used by
buildings similarly situated;




     (c) To show the Premises to prospective tenants at reasonable hours during the last
nine (9) months of the Term (but not after a Renewal Option is exercised for a Renewal Term)
and, if vacated during such year, to prepare the Premises for re-occupancy, and to show the
Premises to prospective purchasers and lenders of the Building at reasonable hours upon
reasonable prior verbal notice at any time during the Term;




     (d) To retain at all times, and to use in appropriate emergency instances, keys to all
doors within and into the Premises. No locks shall be changed without the prior written
consent of Landlord;




     (e) To decorate or to make repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, whether
structural or otherwise, in and about the Property or the Building, or any part of any
thereof, and for such purposes to enter upon the Premises upon reasonable prior verbal
notice (except in an emergency, in which case no notice shall be necessary), and, during the
continuance of any such work, to temporarily close roads, drives, doors, entryways, public
space and corridors in the Property or the Building, and to interrupt or suspend temporarily
Building services and facilities, all without abatement of Rent or affecting any of Tenant’s
obligations hereunder, so long as the Premises are reasonably accessible and such suspension
or interruption or the length thereof does not materially affect the conduct of Tenant’s
business. If the Premises or any material portion thereof is not reasonably accessible or
such work materially affects Tenant’s business as a result of Landlord’s exercise of its
rights under this subsection, and the length of such suspension or interruption is of a
temporary nature for a reasonable period of time under the circumstances, as Tenant’s sole
and exclusive remedy on account thereof, Rent shall abate on a per diem basis for each day
the Premises, or such material portion thereof, is not reasonably accessible or Tenant’s
business is materially affected; provided, however, that if only a material portion of the
Premises is not reasonably accessible, the per diem abatement of Rent shall be equitably
determined, which in most cases would be in an amount bearing the same ratio to the total
amount of per diem Rent as the inaccessible portion of the Premises bears to the entire
Premises;




     (f) To have and retain a paramount title to the Premises free and clear of any act of
Tenant purporting to burden or encumber it;




     (g) To prohibit the placing of vending or dispensing machines of any kind in or about
the Premises, except for vending or dispensing machines for the sole use of Tenant, its
employees and invitees.



     14. COVENANT AGAINST LIENS. Tenant covenants and agrees not to suffer or permit any
lien of mechanics or materialmen to be placed against the Property, the Building or the Premises,
and in the case of any such lien attaching, to pay off and remove or bond over any such lien to
Landlord’s satisfaction within fifteen (15) days after receiving notice thereof. If any such lien
attaches, and Tenant fails to remove or bond over such lien within said fifteen (15) day



- 12 -









 







period, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, pay the amount necessary to remove such
lien without being responsible for making an investigation as to the validity or accuracy thereof,
and the amount so paid, together with all costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, shall be deemed
Additional Rent hereunder, payable within fifteen (15) days after notification thereof to Tenant.
Tenant has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever,
whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon
Landlord’s title or interest in the Property, the Building or the Premises, and any and all liens
and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach to Tenant’s interest only.



     15. WAIVERS AND INDEMNITIES.



     15.1 Tenant’s Waiver. Except to the extent caused by Landlord’s or Landlord’s
Parties’ negligence or willful misconduct or its failure to comply with its obligations hereunder,
Tenant waives all claims it may have against the Landlord or Landlord Parties for any damage either
to person or property or loss of business due to the Property, the Premises or any part of any
thereof or any appurtenances thereto or improvements thereon not being in good condition or
becoming out of repair, or due to the happening of any accident in or about the Property or the
Premises or due to any act or neglect of Tenant, its officers, directors, employees, agents or
invitees. This provision shall apply particularly (but not exclusively) to damage caused by water,
snow, frost, steam, sewage, gas, faucets and plumbing fixtures. Landlord further agrees that all
Tenants’ property upon the Premises or the Property shall be there at the risk of Tenant only and
that Landlord shall not be liable for any damage thereto or theft thereof, unless such loss was
caused by Landlord’s or Landlord’s Parties’ negligence or willful misconduct or by the failure of
the Landlord to fulfill its obligations hereunder.



     15.2 Tenant’s Indemnification. Subject to Section 18.1 hereof, Tenant hereby
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against any claims or
liability for damage to person or property (or for loss or misappropriation of property) occurring
in or on the Property or the Premises, arising from any breach or default on the part of Tenant
under this Lease, or from any negligent act or omission of Tenant or any employee, agent, servant,
invitee or contractor of Tenant, or from Tenant’s operations or activities on or use of the
Property or the Premises, and from any cost relating thereto (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees).



     15.3 Landlord’s Waiver. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Tenant or its agents, contractors or employees, or a breach or default by Tenant of
its obligations hereunder, Landlord waives all claims it may have against Tenant for any damage
either to person or property or loss of business due to the Property, the Premises or any part
thereof or any appurtenance thereto or improvements thereon not being in good condition or becoming
out of repair, or due to the happening of any accident in or about the Property or the Premises.



     15.4 Landlord’s Indemnification. Subject to Section 18.1 hereof, Landlord
hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant, its shareholders, officers, directors,
employees and agents from and against any claims or liability brought against or imposed upon
Tenant for damage to person or property (or for loss or misappropriation of property) occurring



- 13 -









 







in or on the Property or the Premises, arising from any breach or default on the part of
Landlord under this Lease, or from any negligent act or omission of Landlord or any employee,
agent, servant, or contractor of Landlord, and from any cost relating thereto (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees).



     15.5 No Implicit Waivers. No waiver of any condition expressed in this Lease shall be
implied by any neglect of Landlord to enforce any remedy on account of the violation of such
condition if such violation be continued or repeated subsequently, and no express waiver shall
affect any condition other than the one specified in such waiver and that one only for the time and
in the manner specifically stated. Absent a written agreement to the contrary, no receipt of
moneys by Landlord from Tenant after the termination in any way of the Term or of Tenant’s right of
possession hereunder or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term
or affect any notice given to Tenant prior to the receipt of such moneys, it being agreed that
after the service of notice of the commencement of a suit or after final judgment for possession of
the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not
waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment absent a written agreement to the contrary.



     16. DEFAULTS AND LANDLORD’S REMEDIES.



     16.1 Defaults. It shall be a default under this Lease if: (i) Tenant fails to pay,
when due, Rent or any installment thereof or any other sum required to be paid by Tenant under this
Lease, and such failure continues for more than ten (10) days; (ii) Tenant fails to observe or
perform any of the other covenants, conditions or obligations which Tenant is required to observe
or perform under this Lease, and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after notice
thereof to Tenant (unless such failure shall give rise to a hazardous condition requiring an
immediate cure, in which case, no notice is necessary and no cure period shall be allowed);
provided, however, that Landlord shall not be entitled to exercise its remedies on account of any
default described in this clause (ii) if (a) such default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty
(30) days, (b) Tenant commences to cure such default within said thirty (30) day period and
thereafter diligently and continuously proceeds with such cure, and (c) Tenant cures such default
within a reasonable period of time not to exceed seventy-five (75) days after Landlord’s notice of
such default; (iii) the interest of Tenant in this Lease is levied on under execution or other
legal process; (iv) an Event of Bankruptcy (as defined below) occurs; or (v) Tenant dissolves or
ceases to exist. For purposes of this Lease, “Events of Bankruptcy” means the occurrence of any
one or more of the following events or circumstances:




     (a) If Tenant shall file in any court a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for
reorganization within the meaning of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or for arrangement within
the meaning of such Code (or for reorganization or arrangement under any future bankruptcy
or reform act for the same or similar relief), or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee of all or a portion of the property of Tenant, or




     (b) If an involuntary petition shall be filed against Tenant, and such petition shall
not be vacated or withdrawn within sixty (60) days after the date of filing thereof, or




     (c) If Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or



- 14 -









 






     (d) If Tenant shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or shall admit in writing an inability to
pay its debts as they become due, or




     (e) If a receiver shall be appointed for the property of Tenant by order of court of
competent jurisdiction (except where such receiver shall be appointed in an involuntary
proceeding and be withdrawn within sixty (60) days from the date of his appointment).



     16.2 Landlord’s Remedies. Upon a default under this Lease, Landlord at its option
may, without notice or demand of any kind to Tenant, exercise any one or more of the following
described remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law or in equity:




     (a) Landlord may terminate this Lease and the Term created hereby, in which event
Landlord may forthwith repossess the Premises by operation of law and be entitled to recover
forthwith as damages a sum of money equal to all Rent accrued and unpaid for the period up
to and including the date of termination, plus as final and liquidated damages (and not as a
penalty) Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the present value of (i) the amount of Rent that
would be payable from the date of such termination through the balance of the scheduled
Term, less (ii) the fair rental value of the Premises for said period (taking into
consideration the time to relet the Premises, and taking into consideration and reducing
said fair rental value by, the reasonable cost of reletting and retrofitting the Premises),
plus any other sum of money and damages owed by Tenant to Landlord, but reduced by any
amounts to be refunded by Landlord to Tenant under Sections 5.2 or 5.3
hereof.




     (b) Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right of possession and may repossess the Premises
by forcible entry or detainer suit, and without terminating this Lease, in which event
Landlord shall use its best efforts to relet the Premises, for such rent and upon such terms
as shall be commercially reasonable under the circumstances. For the purpose of such
reletting, Landlord is authorized to decorate and make any reasonable repairs, changes,
alterations or additions in or to the Premises that may be necessary or appropriate, and
Tenant shall, upon written demand, pay the cost thereof. If Landlord shall fail to relet
the Premises, or if the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from
such reletting to pay all of the costs and expenses: (i) of such decoration, repairs,
changes, alterations and additions, (ii) of such reletting (including, without limitation,
all reasonable brokerage, advertising, and legal expenses), and (iii) the collection of the
Rent accruing therefrom, and to satisfy the Rent provided for in this Lease, then Tenant
shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the amount of the Rent reserved in this
Lease for such period or periods, or, if the Premises have been relet, Tenant shall satisfy
and pay any such deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time as the same shall
otherwise become due hereunder. Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any
sums failing due under the terms of this subsection (b) from time to time and that no suit
or recovery of any portion due Landlord hereunder shall be any defense to any subsequent
action brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord. To
the extent required by law, Landlord agrees to mitigate its damages.



- 15 -









 




If Tenant shall be in material default in any of its obligations hereunder at any time daring the
Term of the Lease, but not including any Renewal Term, then the Rent otherwise accruing during the
Free Rent Period shall immediately become due and payable.




     17. SURRENDER OF POSSESSION.



     17.1 Condition of Premises. At the termination of this Lease by lapse of time or
otherwise, or upon termination of Tenant’s right of possession without terminating this Lease,
Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord and deliver all keys to the Premises
to Landlord, and shall return the Premises and all equipment and fixtures of Landlord to Landlord
in as good condition as when Tenant originally took possession, ordinary wear, loss or damage by
fire or other casualty not the fault of Tenant or insured casualty and damage resulting from the
act of Landlord or any other of its employees and agents or other tenants of the Property excepted,
failing which Landlord may restore the Premises and such equipment and fixtures to such condition
and Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost thereof to Landlord on demand. All Alterations, whether
temporary or permanent in character, made by Landlord or Tenant in or upon the Premises shall
become Landlord’s property, and unless Landlord requests their removal, shall remain upon the
Premises at the termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise or upon a termination of
Tenant’s right of possession, without compensation to Tenant, excepting, however, Tenant’s movable
office furniture, trade fixtures, office equipment and special lighting fixtures, provided that
they may be removed without permanent structural damage to the Building. If Tenant does not remove
such property upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or upon the termination of
Tenant’s right of possession, at Landlord’s election Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have
forever abandoned such property, and without accepting title thereto, Landlord may, at Tenant’s
expense, remove, store, destroy, discard or otherwise dispose of all or any part thereof without
incurring liability to Tenant or to any other person, and Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand the
expenses incurred in taking such actions. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 17.1
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term or a termination of Tenant’s right
of possession.



     17.2 Holding Over. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof
after the termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, or after a termination
of Tenant’s right of possession, then Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole election at any time after
the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, serve written notice on Tenant that
such holding over constitutes either: (i) the creation of a month-to-month tenancy upon each of the
terms herein provided as may be applicable to such month-to-month tenancy, except that Tenant shall
pay to Landlord Base Rent for each month or portion thereof in the amount set forth below, plus all
Additional Rent coming due during such period, or (ii) the creation of a tenancy at sufferance upon
each of the terms herein provided as may be applicable to such tenancy at sufferance, except that
Tenant shall pay to Landlord a per diem rent equal to the per diem Base Rent set forth below, plus
the per diem amount of all Additional Rent. If no written notice is served by Landlord, then a
tenancy at sufferance with Rent as stated in (ii) above shall have been created. The provisions of
this Section shall not operate as a waiver by Landlord of any right of re-entry herein provided.
In addition to and not in limitation of all other remedies set forth in this Section, Tenant shall
be liable for all damages (consequential as well as direct) sustained by Landlord on account of
Tenant’s holding over. Base Rent payable during any holding over shall be as follows:



- 16 -









 






     (i) during the first sixty (60) days following the termination of this Lease or the
termination of Tenant’s right of possession, one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base
Rent for the calendar month immediately preceding the termination date of this Lease or the
termination of Tenant’s right of possession; and




     (ii) from and after the sixty-first (61st) day following the termination of this Lease
or the termination of Tenant’s right of possession, two hundred percent (200%) of the Base
Rent for the calendar month immediately preceding the termination date of this Lease or the
termination of Tenant’s right of possession.



     18. INSURANCE.



     18.1 Liability Insurance. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain a policy of
commercial general liability insurance (sometimes known as broad form comprehensive general
liability insurance) insuring Tenant against liability for bodily injury, property damage
(including loss of use of property) and personal injury arising out of the operation, use or
occupancy of the Property. Tenant shall name Landlord as an additional insured under such policy.
The initial amount of such insurance shall be ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence /
THREE MILLION DOLLARS ($3,000,000.00) aggregate and shall be subject to periodic increases based
upon inflation, increased liability awards, recommendation of Landlord’s professional insurance
advisers and other relevant factors provided that such increases are commercially reasonable and
are approved by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The
liability insurance obtained by Tenant under this Section 18.1 shall (i) be primary and
non-contributing and (ii) contain cross-liability endorsements. The amount and coverage of such
insurance shall not limit Tenant’s liability nor relieve Tenant of any other obligations under this
Lease. Landlord may also obtain comprehensive public liability insurance in an amount and with
coverage determined by Landlord insuring Landlord against liability arising out of ownership,
operation, use or occupancy of the Property. The policy obtained by Landlord shall not be
contributory and shall not provide primary insurance.



     18.2 “All Risks” Insurance. During the Term, Tenant shall maintain a policy of
insurance against “all risks” of physical loss for the full insurable replacement value of the
initial build-out of the Premises (including without limitation, the Tenant Improvements (as
defined in the Work Letter), and all Alterations, and of all furniture, trade fixtures, equipment,
merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s property on the Premises.



     18.3 Worker’s Compensation Insurance. During the Term, Tenant shall maintain a policy
of Worker’s Compensation Insurance in amounts required by the State of Illinois, including
Voluntary Compensation, Broad Form All States Endorsement.



     18.4 Automobile Liability Insurance. During the Term, Tenant shall maintain a policy
of Automobile Liability Insurance with limits for bodily injury or personal injury to or death of
any person, or more than one (1) person, or for damage to property in an amount of not less than
$1,000,000 combined single limit, including Employer’s Owned, Non-Owned and Hired Car coverage.



- 17 -









 





     18.5 Property and Rental Income Insurance. During the Term, Landlord shall maintain
policies of insurance covering loss of or damage to the property in the full amount of its
replacement value. Such policy shall contain an inflation Guard Endorsement and shall provide
protection against all perils included within the classification of fire, extended coverage,
vandalism, malicious mischief, special extended perils (all risk), sprinkler leakage, boiler
coverage and any other perils which Landlord deems reasonably necessary. Landlord shall have the
right to obtain flood and earthquake insurance if required by any lender holding a security
interest in the Property. Landlord shall not obtain insurance for Tenant’s fixtures or equipment
or building improvements installed by Tenant on the Property. During the Lease Term, Landlord
shall also maintain a rental income insurance policy, with loss payable to Landlord, in an amount
equal to one (1) year’s Base Rent, plus estimated real property taxes and insurance premiums.
Tenant shall be liable for the payment of any deductible amount under Landlord’s or Tenant’s
insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 18 in amounts commercially
reasonable for similarly situated properties. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done
which invalidates any such insurance policies.



     18.6 Payment of Premiums. Tenant shall pay all premiums for the insurance policies
described in Sections 18.1-18.5, inclusive, except Landlord shall pay all premiums for
non-primary comprehensive public liability insurance which Landlord elects to obtain as provided in
Section 18.1. If insurance policies maintained by Landlord cover improvements on real
property other than the Property, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the premium
applicable to the Property showing in reasonable detail how Tenant’s share of the premium was
computed. If the Lease Term expires before the expiration of an insurance policy maintained by
Landlord, Tenant shall be liable for Tenant’s prorated share of the insurance premiums. Before the
Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of any policy of insurance which Tenant
is required to maintain under this Section 18. At least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of any such policy, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a renewal of such policy as an
alternative to providing a policy of insurance. Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord a
certificate of insurance, executed by an authorized officer of the insurance company, showing that
the insurance which Tenant is required to maintain under this Section 18 is in full force
and effect and containing such other information which Landlord reasonably requires.



     18.7 General Insurance Provisions.




     (i) Any insurance which Tenant is required to maintain under this Lease shall include
(to the extent reasonably obtainable) a provision which requires the insurance carrier to
give Landlord not less than thirty (30) days written notice prior to any cancellation or
modification of such coverage.




     (ii) If Tenant fails to deliver a policy, certificate or renewal to Landlord required
under this Lease within the prescribed time period or if any such policy is canceled or
modified during the Lease Term without Landlord’s consent, Landlord may obtain such
insurance, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such insurance
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a reasonably documented statement that indicates
the cost of such insurance.



- 18 -









 







     (iii) Tenant shall maintain all insurance required under this Lease with companies
holding a “General Policy Rating” of A-12 or better, as set forth in the most current issue
of “Best Key Rating Guide”. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge the insurance markets are
rapidly changing and that insurance in the form and amounts described in this Section
18 may not be available in the future. Tenant acknowledges that the insurance described
in this Section 18 is for the primary benefit of Landlord. If at any time during
the Lease Term, Tenant is unable to maintain the insurance required under the Lease, Tenant
shall nevertheless maintain insurance coverage which is customary and commercially
reasonable in the insurance industry for Tenant’s type of business, as that coverage may
change from time to time. Landlord makes no representation as to the adequacy of such
insurance to protect Landlord’s or Tenant’s interests. Therefore, Tenant shall obtain any
such additional property or liability insurance which Tenant deems necessary to protect
Landlord and Tenant.




     (iv) Unless prohibited under any applicable insurance policies maintained, Landlord and
Tenant each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against the other, or against the
officers, employees, agents or representatives of the other, and hereby release the other
from any and all liability for loss of or damage to its property or the property of others
under its control, if such loss or damage is covered by any Insurance policy in force
(whether or not described in this Lease), or required to be maintained by the terms of this
Lease (whether or not in force), at the time of such loss or damage. Upon obtaining the
required policies of insurance, Landlord and Tenant shall give notice to the insurance
carriers of this mutual waiver of subrogation.



     19. FIRE OR CASUALTY. If the Premises is hereafter damaged, destroyed or rendered
partially untenable for its accustomed use, by fire or other casualty insured or which should have
been insured under the coverage Landlord is obligated to carry pursuant to Article 18 of
this Lease, then Landlord shall commence repair or replacement of the Premises soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter, but in any event within ninety (90) days after such casualty and, as soon
as reasonably practicable after commencement of such repair, in any event within two hundred forty
(240) days after commencement of such repair or replacement, restore the Premises to substantially
the same condition in which the Premises was immediately prior to the occurrence of the casualty,
exclusive of Tenant’s Alterations, furniture, fixtures and equipment, except as otherwise provided
in this Article. From the date of such casualty until the Property is so repaired and restored,
Rent and all other charges and items payable hereunder shall equitably abate based upon the
interference with Tenant’s business operations at the Property so long as damage is not caused by
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees, officers, licensees or
invitees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises (based
upon the cost to replace the Premises so damaged or destroyed as compared with the market value of
the Premises immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, as shown by a certificate of
Landlord’s architect), is destroyed or rendered untenable by fire or other casualty during the last
Lease Year of the Term or the last Lease Year of any Extension Term of this Lease, then, provided
that Tenant has not during such Lease Year exercised the option to extend the Term for an Extension
Term, Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective as of the date of
the casualty, by giving written notice of termination to the other within thirty (30) days of such
casualty. If said notice of termination is given within this thirty (30) day period this Lease
shall terminate and Rent and all other charges



- 19 -









 







shall abate as aforesaid from the date of such casualty, and Landlord shall promptly repay to
Tenant any Rent paid in advance which has not been earned as of the date of such casualty. If said
notice is not given Landlord shall repair and replace the Property in the manner of aforesaid.
Notwithstanding anything hereinabove contained to the contrary, the obligation to repair and
restore only applies to the Building and improvements made pursuant to the Tenant Improvement
Allowance, as referenced in the Work Letter, and shall not cover Tenant’s property.



     20. CONDEMNATION. If the whole or any part of the Building or any a portion of the
parking area on the Land which would render the remaining parking area insufficient to comply with
applicable zoning shall be taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or
purpose the Term, at the option of either Landlord or Tenant by notice to the other within sixty
(60) days of being notified of such condemnation, shall end upon the date when the possession of
the part so taken shall be required for such use or purpose, and current Rent shall be apportioned
as of the date of such termination. Tenant shall have no right to any apportionment of or share in
any condemnation award or judgment for damages made for the taking of any part of the Premises or
the Property, but may seek its own award for loss of or damage to Tenant’s business or its property
resulting from such taking or for relocation expenses. If both Landlord and Tenant elect not to
terminate this Lease, Tenant shall remain in that portion of the Premises or Building which shall
not have been appropriated or taken, and Landlord agrees, at Landlord’s cost and expense, to, as
soon as reasonably possible, restore the remaining portion of the Premises or Building to a
complete unit of like-quality and character as existed prior to such appropriation or taking, and,
thereafter, all Rent and payment obligations of Tenant shall be adjusted on an equitable basis,
taking into account the relative value of the portion taken and the portion remaining. For
purposes hereof; a voluntary sale or conveyance in lieu of condemnation, but under threat of
condemnation, shall be covered hereby.



     21. NOTICES. All notices to be given by one party to the other under this Lease shall
be in writing (except as expressly provided herein to the contrary), sent by overnight courier for
next business day delivery, hand delivered, or sent by confirmed facsimile transmission as follows:

ten (10) business days prior request by Landlord or any mortgagee, Tenant will deliver to Landlord
or such mortgagee an estoppel certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E



- 23 -









 




attached hereto and made a part hereof as modified to reflect the accuracy thereof. In the
event Tenant falls or refuses to deliver any such certificate within said 10-business day period,
and provided that delivery does not occur within five (5) business days after notice thereof by
Landlord, such failure or refusal shall be deemed to be a default hereunder and Landlord shall be
entitled to all rights and remedies available under this Lease.




     23.2 Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment. Upon written request of Landlord,
or any mortgagee or beneficiary of Landlord, Tenant will, in writing, subordinate its right

to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust, now or hereafter in force, against the Land and/or
Property of which the Premises are a part and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the
security thereof, provided that the ground lessor, or the mortgagee or trustee, as applicable,
named in said mortgage, trust deed or lease shall agree that Tenant’s peaceable possession of the
Premises and its rights under this Lease will not be diminished on account thereof, subject to the
otherwise applicable provisions contained herein. In the event (i) any proceedings are brought for
foreclosure, or (ii) of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deeds of trust,
then, upon any such foreclosure or sale, Tenant agrees to recognize such beneficiary or purchaser
as Landlord under this Lease, provided that Tenant’s right to possession continues unabated and
Tenant’s rights under this Lease continue undiminished, subject to the otherwise applicable
provisions contained herein. Landlord agrees to obtain a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and
Attornment Agreement from its current lender(s) and the ground lessor, if any, substantially in
accordance with the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (“SNDA”), and deliver same to Tenant
prior to the execution hereof or within thirty (30) days thereafter. If said SNDA from Landlord’s
current lender(s) and the ground lessor, if any, is not so delivered, Tenant may, at its option,
terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord. In addition, Landlord agrees to obtain a SNDA
from any future lender within thirty (30) days after Landlord obtains financing from such lender;
provided that if such SNDA is not so delivered, Tenant shall not be required to subordinate its
rights under this Lease to such future lender’s mortgage or deed of trust. In connection herewith,

such default, then such mortgagee shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure
such default, or if such default cannot reasonably be cured by such mortgagee within thirty (30)
days, such mortgagee shall have such additional time as may be necessary to cure such default
(including, without limitation, time necessary to obtain possession of the Property if possession
is necessary to cure such default), but not in excess of sixty (60) days and Tenant shall not
pursue any remedies it may have for such default and this Lease shall not be terminated, while such
cure is being diligently pursued.



     23.4 Covenant of Title and Quiet Possession. Landlord represents and warrants to
Tenant that (a) Landlord is the fee simple owner and record title holder of the Property, (b) to
the best of its actual knowledge Landlord has not received any notice, and does not have any
knowledge of, any eminent domain or similar proceeding which would affect all, or any portion,



- 24 -









 







of the Property, (c) Landlord has the full right, power and authority to make this Lease, (d)
no restrictive covenant, easement, lease or other written agreement restricts, prohibits or
otherwise affects Tenant’s rights set forth in this Lease, including without limitation, rights to
signage, construction, permitted use or ingress and egress to and from the Premises and across the
Property, and (e) Tenant or any permitted assignee or sublessee of Tenant, upon payment of the Rent
and performance of the covenants required hereunder, shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold
and enjoy the Premises during the Term or any Renewal Term of this Lease. Additionally, Landlord
shall take no action that will interfere with Tenant’s intended use of the Premises or parking,

expense.



     27. OPTION TO RENEW TERM.



     27.1 Renewal Option. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below in this
Section 27, this Lease may be extended at Tenant’s option (the “Renewal Option”) for two
(2) periods of five (5) years each. Each period is called the “Renewal Term”. The Renewal Term
shall be upon the same terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease (excluding the Work
Letter), except for the amount of Base Rent payable during the Renewal Term, which shall be
determined in accordance with Section 27.2 below. Any reference in this Lease to the
“Term” shall be deemed to include the Renewal Term and apply thereto, unless it is expressly
provided otherwise. Tenant shall have no extension or renewal option other than the Renewal
Option. Any termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right of possession shall terminate all of
Tenant’s rights under this Section. Tenant shall exercise the Renewal Option by delivering written
notice thereof to Landlord not less than nine (9) months prior to the first day of a respective
Renewal Term. If Tenant fails to deliver any such notice when due as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its right to exercise a
Renewal Option.

Illinois which are comparable to the Building in age and quality, (but excluding any leases
where a tenant has an equity interest in the property), for a 5-year term commencing on or about
the first day of the Renewal Term. Prevailing Market Rental Rate shall also be determined by
taking into consideration the present value of the amount of any then market brokers’ commissions
and any then market tenant improvement, free rent or other concession which would be available to a
third party tenant. Base Rent shall increase each Lease Year during the Renewal Term by the then
prevailing market escalations, if any, in Lake County, Illinois for buildings which are comparable
to the Building in age and quality, and such escalations shall be taken into account in calculating
the Prevailing Market Rental Rate. Tenant’s obligation to pay the Tax Amount the Operating Expense
Amount pursuant to the terms hereof shall continue during the Renewal Term. If the parties hereto
cannot agree on the Prevailing Market Rental Rate and escalations within thirty (30) days after
Tenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option, each party shall select an independent real estate broker
authorized to do business in the State of Illinois with substantial presence within Lake County,
Illinois. Those two brokers shall, in turn, within ten (10) days after the last is so appointed

with the closing escrow. Local transfer taxes, if any, shall be paid by the party
designated by the applicable ordinance. Any other items of proration shall be prorated in
accordance with local usage and custom.

anything other than an all cash Purchase Price), then Landlord shall give written notice thereof to
Tenant (“Landlord’s Purchase Option Notice”). Landlord’s Purchase Option notice shall contain the
material terms and provisions of the Proposal and identify the third party. Tenant shall notify
Landlord within three (3) business days after Landlord’s delivery of Landlord’s Purchase Option
Notice whether Tenant elects to exercise its right to purchase the Property on the terms set forth
in Landlord’s Purchase Option Notice. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord within said three (3)
business day period of Tenant’s election to exercise its right to purchase the Property, Tenant
shall be deemed to have waived its right to exercise its right to



- 30 -









 







purchase the Property and Landlord shall be free to sell the Property on the terms and
conditions and to the third party and within the time period contained in Landlord’s Purchase
Option Notice. If the sale by Landlord pursuant to the Purchase Option Notice is not consummated
in accordance with the terms thereof, the Property shall again be subject to the provisions of this
Section 28.3. If Tenant exercises its right to purchase the Property, then within fifteen
(15) days after Tenant’s exercise, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a purchase and sale
agreement for the Property on substantially all of the terms and conditions specified in Landlord’s
Purchase Option Notice.



     28.4 Conditions to Exercising Purchase Option or Right of First Refusal. Tenant’s
right to exercise its right to purchase the Property pursuant to Sections 28.1 and
28.3 hereof is subject to the conditions that on the date that Tenant delivers its written
notice exercising its Purchase Option or exercising its Right of First Refusal; (i) Tenant is not
in material default under this Lease; and (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing which with
the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a material default under
this Lease.



     29. COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts all of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Exhibit C




Work Letter




     All of the terms and conditions of the Lease are incorporated herein by reference and, except
as may be expressly set forth to the contrary in this Work Letter or the Lease, shall apply as
fully to this Work Letter as to the Lease. The capitalized terms used but not defined in this Work
Letter shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease.



     1. Construction of Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall, at its sole cost up to a
total cost of One Million Two Hundred Seven Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,207,000.00) ($40.00 per
rentable square foot) (“Tenant Improvement Allowance”), provide the construction material, hardware
and equipment (including HVAC and electrical material, hardware and equipment) and the labor to
construct the Tenant Improvements within the Premises. Tenant shall pay that part of the total
cost of the Tenant Improvements that exceeds One Million Two Hundred Seven Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($1,207,000.00). Not more than One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($125,000.00) of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be used by the Tenant for Tenant’s
furniture, fixtures, and equipment. If the total cost of the Tenant Improvements exceeds One
Million Two Hundred Seven Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,207,000.00), Tenant shall pay to Landlord
such costs in one lump sum payment within thirty (30) days after written demand for said payment.
If the total cost of the Tenant Improvements is less than One Million Two Hundred Seven Thousand
and No/100 Dollars ($1,207,000.00), Tenant shall receive a credit against monthly Base Rent which
credit shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date and shall be utilized towards the first
installments of monthly Base Rent due under the Lease; provided, however, that for any calendar
month or part thereof during the Term, Tenant may not receive a credit against monthly Base Rent of
more than three-fourth (3/4) of the monthly Base Rent due and owing for such month. “Tenant
Improvements” means (i) the materials, hardware and equipment to be incorporated into the Premises
pursuant to the Plans (as defined below and as the same may be modified pursuant to Section
3 of this Work Letter), and the labor to construct and install such items, (ii) the other
building standard items described in the Plans, as the same may be modified pursuant to Section
3 of this Work Letter, and (iii) the preparation of the Plans by Eckenhoff Saunders Architects
(the Architect). The Tenant Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the General
Contractor Agreement attached hereto as Schedule 7. The parties agree to the preliminary
base building plans to include, the base building space plan attached hereto as Schedule 3,
the base building site plan attached hereto as Schedule 4, the base building outline
specifications attached hereto as Schedule 5 and the base building elevation attached
hereto as Schedule 6 (collectively, the “Base Building Plans”). The parties agree to
cooperate in good faith to approve as soon as reasonably possible in writing the final Base
Building Plans by not later than forty (40) days from the date of this Lease. At such time as the
final Base Building Plans have been approved in writing by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord will cause
the base building to be constructed or installed on the property in conformity with such final Base
Building Plans. The parties hereby acknowledge that Tenant has hired the Architect and may hire an
additional third party architect or designer to perform certain interior design services for the
Premises, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Architect’s charges as well as other third
party architect or designer charges for such interior design services shall be included in
determining the total cost of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to this Section 1, but that
any improvements, work, furnishings, furniture



 - 37 -









 







or other matters designed by the Architect or other third party architect or designer as a
part of such interior design services shall not be part of the Tenant Improvements, and Landlord
shall have no liability or responsibility therefor. Landlord shall proceed diligently to cause the
Tenant Improvements to be substantially completed substantially in accordance with the Plans and
the terms and conditions of the Lease. All architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors,
suppliers, manufacturers or materialmen performing services or supplying materials in connection
with the design and/or construction of the Tenant Improvements (the “Contractors”) shall be
selected by Landlord or Tenant, subject to mutual agreement, and shall enter into contracts
directly with Landlord or Tenant, subject to mutual agreement, for the provision of services and
materials. Landlord agrees that the Tenant Improvements shall be done in a first-class,
workmanlike manner using only good grades of material and shall be performed in accordance with
Laws.



     2. The Plans. Landlord and Tenant shall approve, but not later than the date of this
Lease, the Base Building Plans and the preliminary description of the Tenant Improvements attached
to this Work Letter as Schedule 1 and made a part hereof. Landlord will cause to be
prepared, and Landlord and Tenant shall act in good faith and cooperate with each other to finalize
and approve as soon as reasonably possible, the plans, drawings and specifications for the Tenant
Improvements based on the description in Schedule 1. Based on the preliminary plans,
drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements and the Base Building Plans approved by
Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall cause the final plans, drawings and specifications for the
Tenant Improvements and the final Base Building Plans (collectively “Working Drawings”) to be
prepared and delivered to Tenant within two (2) weeks of the date of this Lease. Within five (5)
days after Landlord’s delivery of the Working Drawings to Tenant, Tenant shall approve or
disapprove the same in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided,
however, that Lessee may only disapprove the Working Drawings which are not required or approved by
any governmental agencies or authorities and to the extent such Working Drawings are materially
inconsistent with the Base Building Plans or preliminary plans, drawings and specifications for the
Tenant Improvements, or to propose modifications which are consistent with the Base Building Plans
or preliminary plans, drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements and only if Tenant
delivers to Landlord within such five (5) day period, specific changes proposed by Tenant which (i)
are consistent with the preliminary Base Building Plans and preliminary plans, drawings and
specifications for the Tenant Improvements and (ii) do not constitute design problems. If any such
revisions are timely and properly proposed by Tenant, Landlord shall cause the Working Drawings to
be revised to incorporate such revisions and submit the same for Tenant’s approval in accordance
with the foregoing provisions and the parties shall follow the foregoing procedures for approving
the Working Drawings until the same are finally approved by Landlord and Tenant. The Working
Drawings approved by the parties shall be referred to as the “Plans”. Landlord and Tenant shall
approve the Plans not later than forty (40) days from the date of this Lease.



     3. Changes to the Plans.



     3.1 Tenant Changes to the Plans. Tenant may propose one or more changes to the Plans
to Landlord at any time before the Substantial Completion Date (as defined below), and, as promptly
as reasonably practicable after the receipt and approval thereof by Landlord (which approval may be
withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion), Landlord shall provide Tenant with a



 - 38 -









 







written estimate of the delay (if any) in the Substantial Completion Date (which delay shall
be a Tenant Delay [as defined below]) and the additional cost (if any) to complete the Tenant
Improvements which will result from such change (whether hard costs or soft costs), which costs
shall include, without limitation: (i) the actual cost of all materials, supplies, equipment and
labor used or supplied in making the proposed change, including general conditions and any
contractor’s fees; (ii) any architect and engineer fees; (iii) a contractor’s fee pursuant to the
General Contractor Agreement set forth in Schedule 7; and (iv) any other additional costs
and expenses of owning and operating the Premises during the extended construction period (if any)
resulting from such change(s). If Tenant fails to approve the estimate within five (5) business
days after delivery of same, Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned its request for such change,
and the Tenant Improvements shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the then existing
Plans. If Tenant approves the estimate within said 5-day period by signing and returning a copy of
Landlord’s estimate, Landlord shall cause the Tenant Improvements to be constructed substantially
in accordance with the Plans as so revised. If and to the extent there are actual increased costs
due to Tenant’s changes in the Plans, such amount shall be charged as a Tenant Improvement cost per
Paragraph 1 of this Work Letter and if the total Tenant Improvement costs thereby exceed One
Million Two Hundred Seven and No/100 Dollars ($1,207,000.00), then Tenant shall pay such amount to
Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of demand therefor. Unless requested in
writing by Tenant to the contrary, Landlord shall continue with construction of the Tenant
Improvements according to the then existing Plans during the tendency of any proposed change in the
Plans until such change is approved by Landlord and Tenant as provided above. Any delay resulting
from a halt in construction requested in writing by Tenant shall constitute a Tenant Delay.



     If Tenant approves Landlord’s estimate of the time and cost of a proposed change to the Plans:
(a) Tenant shall be liable for the actual cost of such change, whether or not such actual cost
exceeds Landlord’s estimate, and (b) Landlord shall not be liable for any delay in the Substantial
Completion Date resulting from the requested change, whether or not the delay exceeds Landlord’s
estimate, and any such delay shall be a Tenant Delay. Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall
provide Tenant with reasonable evidence of the actual cost of such change and the basis for any
delay in the Substantial Completion Date resulting from such change.



     If Tenant requests a change to the Plans pursuant to this Section 3.1, and Tenant does
not ultimately approve the resulting revised Plans or estimate, Tenant shall promptly reimburse
Landlord, as Additional Rent, for any reasonable costs and expenses resulting from such requested
changes incurred by Landlord.



     3.2 Landlord Changes to the Plans. Landlord may make changes to the Plans without
Tenant’s consent, provided that such changes (i) are necessary to address field conditions, (ii)
will not create any additional monetary obligation for Tenant under the Lease, (iii) are in
material conformity with the Plans (as they may have been previously revised by permissible Tenant
and/or Landlord changes thereto), and (iv) will not result in the use of materials or equipment
which are of a materially lesser quality than those specified in the Plans.



     4. Punchlist Items. Before Tenant takes occupancy of the Premises, but no later than
fifteen (15) days after the Substantial Completion Date, Landlord, Landlord’s architect,



 - 39 -









 







Tenant and at Tenant’s election, Tenant’s consulting architect or other construction
consultants shall conduct an inspection of the Premises, and work in good faith to jointly prepare
a punchlist for the Tenant Improvements. Subject to Landlord’s obligations for latent defects
under Section 8 of the Lease, any items not on such punchlist shall be deemed accepted by
Tenant. Landlord shall complete all punchlist items within thirty (30) days after such punchlist
items are finally determined, subject to extension due to any Tenant Delay or Force Majeure Delay
(as hereinafter defined), it being expressly understood and agreed that to the extent any punchlist
items are not, with due diligence, susceptible of being completed within said thirty (30) day
period, then provided that Landlord has promptly commenced and thereafter prosecutes the completion
of such punchlist with due diligence to the extent within its reasonable control, then such thirty
(30) day period shall be extended for any additional reasonable period following the removal of the
condition preventing Landlord from the completion thereof, and Landlord shall not be deemed in
default hereunder on account of such delay.



     5. Representatives of Landlord and Tenant. Landlord designates Michael Murphy as its
representative(s) for all purposes of this Work Letter. Tenant designates Richard Dale as its
representative for all purposes of this Work Letter. Wherever this Work Letter requires any notice
to be given to or by a party, or any determination or action to be made or taken by a party, the
representative(s) of each party shall act for and on behalf of such party, and the other party
shall be entitled to rely thereon. Either party may designate one or more additional or substitute
representatives for all or a specified portion of the provisions of this Work Letter, subject to
notice to the other party of the identity of such additional or substitute representative(s).



     6. Delay in the Commencement Date.



     6.1 The Substantial Completion Date. If the base building and Tenant Improvements
have not been substantially completed on or before June 1, 2004, then the Commencement Date shall
be the Substantial Completion Date. The “Substantial Completion Date” shall mean the earliest to
occur of: (i) the date on which Landlord receives the approval from the City of Waukegan
authorizing occupancy of the Premises by Tenant, which approval may take the form of a conditional
certificate of occupancy so long as Tenant may occupy the Premises, or (ii) the date on which
Landlord’s architect issues a certificate to Landlord and Tenant stating that the Tenant
Improvements have been substantially completed substantially in accordance with the Plans, or (iii)
if the substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements has been delayed as a result of one or
more Tenant Delays (as defined below), the date on which Landlord would have substantially
completed the Tenant Improvements but for such Tenant Delays, as so certified by the Landlord’s
architect. In no event shall the Commencement Date be earlier than June 1, 2004.



     6.2 Tenant Delays. “Tenant Delay” shall mean any interruption or delay at any time in
the progress of the construction of the base building and the Tenant Improvements which is the
result of: (i) Tenant changes to the Plans, including, in addition to delays resulting from the
actual execution of such changes to the Plans, any delay occurring because the change to the Plans
requested by Tenant expressly requires the design or construction of the Premises to be halted or
delayed pending resolution of any request by Tenant for a change to the Plans, whether or not the
requested change is ultimately approved by Landlord and/or Tenant; (ii) the



 - 40 -









 







performance or non-performance of any work at the Premises by Tenant or any person, firm or
corporation employed by Tenant; or (iii) any other act or omission of Tenant (for example, but not
by way of limitation, failure to timely respond to requests for information or approval of
construction related matters submitted by Landlord and failure to act in good faith and to
cooperate with Landlord in finalizing and approving the Plans pursuant to Section 2 of this
Work Letter).



     6.3 Force Majeure Delays. “Force Majeure Delay” shall mean any interruption or delay
at any time in the progress of the construction of the base building and the Tenant Improvements
which is not a Tenant Delay and is the result of any Events of Force Majeure. Any delay shall be
deemed to be a Force Majeure Delay notwithstanding that Landlord or its agent or Contractor with
respect to which the time period for the Force Majeure Delay is being claimed is concurrently
delayed by events within its control. For purposes hereof, Events of Force Majeure shall mean any
accident, governmental restriction, inability to obtain fuel or materials, strike or lockout
(whether legal or illegal), act of God, war, acts of terrorism, any delay by governmental
authorities in issuance of permits or approvals, or other event, occurrence or circumstance beyond
Landlord’s reasonable control.



     6.4 Notice of Tenant Delays and Force Majeure Delays. Landlord agrees that it shall
exercise reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with written notice of any Tenant Delay or Force
Majeure Delay (and the expected length of the applicable delay) as soon as reasonably practicable
following the date Landlord has been notified of any such delay; provided, however, that Landlord’s
failure to furnish such notice shall in no event be deemed to a waiver by Landlord of the Tenant
Delay or Force Majeure Delay or otherwise affect the operation of this Section 6. Landlord
shall be deemed to have notified Tenant of a Tenant Delay or a Force Majeure Delay if the
applicable delay is noted in the written job meeting minutes, if any, prepared by Landlord or any
Contractor and furnished to Tenant.



     7. Governmental Approvals. Landlord shall use reasonable and diligent, continuous
efforts to obtain all governmental licenses, permits and approvals necessary for the construction
of the Tenant Improvements. If Landlord is unable to obtain any permit, license or approval from
any governmental authority necessary for the construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord may
elect to terminate the Lease upon written notice to Tenant delivered within thirty (30) days after
agreement upon the final Plans, upon which termination Landlord shall return to Tenant any Security
Deposit and Base Rent in Landlord’s possession, and thereafter Landlord shall have no further
liability to Tenant hereunder or under the Lease.



     8. Access by Tenant Prior to Commencement Date. Landlord will permit Tenant and
Tenant’s agents, suppliers, contractors and workmen to enter the Premises prior to the completion
of the Tenant Improvements to enable Tenant to do such other things as may be required by Tenant to
make the Premises ready for Tenant’s occupancy, provided that Tenant shall fully perform and comply
with each of the following covenants, conditions and requirements:




          (a) Tenant and Tenant’s agents, contractors, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and
invitees, shall work in harmony and not interfere with Landlord and Landlord’s agents in
performing the Tenant Improvements or work for other tenants and occupants



 - 41 -









 







of the Building, and if at any time such entry shall in the judgment of Landlord cause
or threaten to cause disharmony or interference, Landlord shall have the right to withdraw
such permission upon one (1) day written notice.




          (b) Tenant agrees that any such entry into the Premises shall be deemed to be under all
of the terms, covenants, conditions, and provisions of the Lease except the covenant to pay
Rent, and further agrees that in connection therewith Landlord shall not be liable in any
way for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant’s work or installations
made in the Premises or to property placed therein prior to the Commencement Date, the same
being at Tenant’s sole risk. In addition, Tenant shall require all entities performing work
on behalf of Tenant to provide protection for existing improvements to an extent that is
satisfactory to Landlord and shall allow Landlord access to the Premises, for inspection
purposes, at all times during the period when Tenant is undertaking construction activities
therein. In the event any entity performing work on behalf of Tenant causes any damage to
the Tenant Improvements or the property of Landlord or others, Tenant shall cause such
damage to be repaired at Tenant’s expense, and if Tenant fails to cause such damage to be
repaired immediately upon Landlord’s demand therefor, Landlord may in addition to any other
rights or remedies available to Landlord under the Lease or at law or equity cause such
damage to be repaired, in which event Tenant shall immediately upon Landlord’s demand pay to
Landlord the cost of such repairs as Additional Rent.




          (c) All contractors and subcontractors shall use only those entrances designated by
Landlord for ingress and egress of personnel, and the delivery and removal of equipment and
material through or across any common areas of the Building or parking areas on the Property
shall only be permitted with the written approval of Landlord and during hours determined by
Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to order Tenant or any contractor or subcontractor
who violates the above requirements to cease work and remove it, its equipment, and its
employees from the Building or the Property.




          (d) During the performance of Tenant’s work and Tenant’s fixturing, Landlord may
provide trash removal service from a location designated by Landlord. Tenant shall be
responsible for breaking down boxes and placing trash in Landlord’s containers at such
designated location. Tenant shall accumulate its trash in containers supplied by Tenant and
Tenant shall not permit trash to accumulate within the Premises or in the corridors or
public areas adjacent to the Premises. Tenant shall cause each entity employed by it to
perform work on the Premises to abide by the provisions of this Work Letter as to the
storage of trash and shall require each such entity to perform its work in a way that dust
and dirt is contained entirely within the Premises and not within any other portion of the
Building or the Property and shall cause Tenant’s contractors to leave the Premises broom
clean at the end of each day. Should Landlord deem it necessary to remove Tenant’s trash
because of accumulation, an additional charge to Tenant will be on a time and material
basis.




          (e) Tenant agrees that all services and work performed on the Premises by, on behalf
of, or for the account of Tenant, including installation of materials and personal



 - 42 -









 







property delivered to the Premises shall be done in a first-class workmanlike manner
using only good grades of material, shall be performed in accordance with Laws, and shall be
performed only by persons covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the appropriate
trade union.




          (f) Tenant agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Parties

                                         00/100 Dollars ($                    ).



     B. The Tenant has entered into that certain Lease dated as of August 27, 2003 with the
Landlord (the “Lease Agreement”; the Lease Agreement, together with all amendments and
modifications thereof, being collectively referred to herein as the “Lease”), pursuant to
which the Tenant has leased certain premises (the “Leased Premises”) consisting of the
parcel of land (the



- 80 -









 





“Land”) legally described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part
hereof, and the improvements thereon, consisting of approximately Thirty Thousand One Hundred
Seventy Five (30,175) rentable square feet of space in the building (the “Building”; the
Land and Building being collectively referred to herein as the “Real Estate”) to be
constructed on the Land.



     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:



A
G R E E M E N
T S:




     1. The Tenant represents and warrants to the Lender that the Lease constitutes the entire
agreement between the Tenant and the Landlord with respect to the Leased Premises and there are no
other agreements, written or verbal, governing the tenancy of the Tenant with respect to the Leased
Premises.



     2. The Tenant has executed and delivered to the Lender that certain Tenant Estoppel
Certificate dated on or about the date hereof (the “Estoppel Certificate”). The provisions of the
Estoppel Certificate are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if fully set forth in this
Agreement in their entirety, and the Tenant acknowledges that the Lender will be relying on the
statements made in the Estoppel Certificate in determining whether to disburse the proceeds of the
loan secured by the Mortgage and whether to enter into this Agreement.



     3. Prior to pursuing any remedy available to the Tenant under the Lease, at law or in equity
as a result of any failure of the Landlord to perform or observe any covenant, condition, provision
or obligation to be performed or observed by the Landlord under the Lease (any such failure being
hereinafter referred to as a “Landlord’s Default”), the Tenant shall: (a) provide the
Lender with a notice of the Landlord’s Default, specifying the nature thereof, the section of the
Lease under which such Landlord’s Default arose, and the remedy which the Tenant will elect under
the terms of the Lease or otherwise, and (b) allow the Lender not less than thirty (30) days
following receipt of notice of the Landlord’s Default to cure the same; provided, however, that, if
such Landlord’s Default is capable of being cured but is not readily curable within such thirty
(30) day period, the Tenant shall give the Lender such additional time as the Lender may reasonably
need to obtain possession and control of the Real Estate and to cure such the Landlord’s Default so
long as the Lender is diligently pursuing a cure. The Tenant shall not pursue any remedy available
to it as a result of any the Landlord’s Default unless the Lender fails to cure same within the
time period specified above. For purposes of this Section 3, a the Landlord’s Default shall not be
deemed to have occurred until all grace and/or cure periods applicable thereto under the Lease have
lapsed without the Landlord having effectuated a cure thereof.



     4. Subject to the provisions contained in Section 6 hereof, the Tenant covenants with the
Lender that the Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lien and all other provisions of the
Mortgage and to all modifications and extensions thereof, to the full extent of all principal,
interest and all other amounts now or hereafter secured thereby and with the same force and effect
as if the Mortgage had been executed and delivered prior to the execution and delivery of the
Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing subordination provision, the Tenant



- 81 -









 







hereby agrees that any of its right, title and interest in and to insurance proceeds and
condemnation awards (or other similar awards arising from eminent domain proceedings) with respect
to damage to or the condemnation (or similar taking) of any of the Real Estate, shall be subject
and subordinate to the Lender’s right, title and interest in and to such proceeds and awards.



     5. The Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord has collaterally assigned to the Lender all
leases affecting the Real Estate, including the Lease, and the rents and other amounts, including,
without limitation, lease termination fees, if any, due and payable under such leases. In
connection therewith, the Tenant agrees that, upon receipt of a notice of a default by the Landlord
under such assignment and a demand by the Lender for direct payment to the Lender of the rents due
under the Lease, the Tenant will honor such demand and make all subsequent rent payments directly
to the Lender. The Tenant further agrees that any Lease termination fees payable under the Lease
shall be paid jointly to the Landlord and the Lender.



     6. The Lender agrees that so long as the Tenant is not in default under the Lease:




     (a) The Tenant shall not be named or joined as a party in any suit, action or
proceeding for the foreclosure of the Mortgage or the enforcement of any rights under the
Mortgage (unless the Tenant is a necessary party under applicable law); and




     (b) The possession by the Tenant of the Leased Premises and the Tenant’s rights thereto
shall not be disturbed, affected or impaired by, nor will the Lease or the term thereof
(including any extended term or renewal term) be terminated or otherwise materially
adversely affected by (i) any suit, action or proceeding for the foreclosure of the Mortgage
or the enforcement of any rights under the Mortgage, or by any judicial sale or execution or
other sale of the Leased Premises, or any deed given in lieu of foreclosure, or (ii) any
default under the Mortgage.



     7. If the Lender or any future holder of the Mortgage shall become the owner of the Real
Estate by reason of foreclosure of the Mortgage or otherwise, or if the Real Estate shall be sold
as a result of any action or proceeding to foreclose the Mortgage or transfer of ownership by deed
given in lieu of foreclosure, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect, without necessity
for executing any new lease, as a direct lease between the Tenant and the new owner of the Real
Estate as “landlord” upon all the same terms, covenants and provisions contained in the Lease
(subject to the exclusions set forth in subsection (b) below), and in such event:




     (a) The Tenant shall be bound to such new owner under all of the terms, covenants and
provisions of the Lease for the remainder of the term thereof (including the extension
periods, if the Tenant elects or has elected to exercise its options to extend the term),
and the Tenant hereby agrees to attorn to such new owner and to recognize such new owner as
“landlord” under the Lease without any additional documentation to effect such attornment
(provided, however, if applicable law shall require additional documentation at the time the
Lender exercises its remedies then the Tenant shall execute such additional documents
evidencing such attornment as may be required by applicable law);



- 82 -









 






     (b) Such new owner shall be bound to the Tenant under all of the terms, covenants and
provisions of the Lease for the remainder of the term thereof (including the extension
periods, if the Tenant elects or has elected to exercise its options to extend the term);
provided, however, that such new owner shall not be:




     (i) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including the
Landlord) that is not then continuing under the Lease;




     (ii) subject to any offsets or defenses which the Tenant has against any prior
landlord (including the Landlord) unless the Tenant shall have provided the Lender
with (A) notice of the Landlord’s Default that gave rise to such offset or defense,
and (B) the opportunity to cure the same, all in accordance with the terms of
Section 3 above;




     (iii) bound by any base rent, percentage rent, additional rent or any other
amounts payable under the Lease which the Tenant might have paid in advance for more
than the current month to any prior landlord (including the Landlord);




     (iv) liable to refund or otherwise account to the Tenant for any security
deposit not actually paid over to such new owner by the Landlord;




     (v) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without the
Lender’s consent;




     (vi) bound by, or liable for any breach of, any representation or warranty or
indemnity agreement contained in the Lease or otherwise made by any prior landlord
(including the Landlord); or




     (vii) personally liable or obligated to perform any such term, covenant or
provision, such new owner’s liability being limited in all cases to its interest in
the Real Estate, provided, however, that nothing contained in this section shall
preclude the Tenant from naming such new owner as a party defendant in any action
brought under the Lease, so long as execution on any judgment against such new owner
is limited in all cases to such new owner’s interest in the Real Estate.



     8. Any notices, communications and waivers under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
be (i) delivered in person, (ii) mailed, postage prepaid, either by registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, or (iii) by overnight express carrier, addressed in each case as follows:
