RENT
----
SECTION 5.1. BASE RENT. In consideration of the leasing aforesaid,
---------
Tenant agrees to
pay Landlord, without offset or deduction, base rent for the Initial Term ("Base
Rent"), payable monthly in advance in the amount of the Monthly Base Rent set
forth in the Base Rent Schedule commencing on the Commencement Date and
continuing on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter for the balance of
the Term of this Lease, and in addition thereto, shall pay such charges as are
herein described as "Additional Rent". The term "Rent" when used in this Lease
shall include all Base Rent payable under this Section 5.1., as well as the
charges herein described as Additional Rent. All Rent payable hereunder shall be
payable to Landlord and Landlord's Mailing Address, or as Landlord may otherwise
from time to time designate in writing.
SECTION 5.2. BASE RENT ADJUSTMENT. In addition to the Base Rent
--------------------
payable by Tenant hereunder, commencing on the Commencement Date and on the
first business day of each and every month thereafter, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, as Additional Rent, the Rent Adjustment described in this Section 5.2
without set off or deduction. Until such time as Tenant receives the first
Adjustment Statement provided for in clause (C) of this Section 5.2, Tenant
shall, commencing on the Commencement Date and on the first (1st) day of each
and every month thereafter, make the Initial Monthly Rent Adjustment Deposit
specified in Article I hereof.
A. For the purposes of this Lease:
(1) The term "Calendar Year" shall mean each calendar year or a
portion thereof during the Term.
(2) The term "Expenses" shall mean and include all expenses paid
or incurred by Landlord or its beneficiaries for managing, owning,
maintaining, operating, insuring, replacing and repairing the Project, the
Land, appurtenances and personal property used in conjunction therewith.
Expenses shall not include (i) depreciation charges, (ii) interest and
principal payments on mortgages, (iii) ground rental payments, (iv) real
estate brokerage and leasing commissions, (v) legal fees for the
negotiation or enforcement of leases, (vi) Taxes, (vii) cost of repair from
a casualty or taking, and (viii) cost of altering the space of other
tenants. If the Building is not fully occupied during all or a portion of
any Calendar Year, then Landlord may elect to make an appropriate
adjustment of the Expenses which vary due to occupancy for such Calendar
Year employing sound accounting and management principles, to determine the
amount of Expenses that would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had
the Building been fully occupied and the amount so determined shall be the
amount of Expenses attributable to such Calendar Year.
(3) The term "Rent Adjustments" shall mean all amounts owed by
Tenant as Additional Rent on account of Expenses or Taxes, or both.
(4) The term "Rent Adjustment Deposit" shall mean an amount equal
to Landlord's estimate of Rent Adjustments due for any Calendar Year made
from time to time during the Term.
(5) The term "Taxes" shall mean real estate taxes, assessments,
sewer rents, rates and charges, transit taxes, taxes based upon the receipt
of rent, and any other federal, state or local governmental charge,
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, which accrue during the Term
and are levied or assessed or become a lien against the Project or any
portion thereof in any Calendar Year during the Term and any tax in
substitution of any of the foregoing, provided, however, in determining the
income of Landlord if necessary with respect to any such substituted taxes,
only income from the Building shall be included. Taxes shall not include
any franchise, capital, stock, transfer, inheritance or income (other than
a rental income tax imposed by the State of Illinois) tax imposed on
Landlord. In case of special taxes or assessments which may be payable in
installments, only the amount of each installment and
interest paid thereon paid during a Calendar Year shall be included in
Taxes for that Calendar Year. Taxes shall also include any personal
property taxes (attributable to the year in which paid) imposed upon the
furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and
appurtenances of Landlord used in connection with the operation of the
Building. Taxes also include Landlord's reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorney's fees) in obtaining a reduction in Taxes
levied or assessed or which will become a lien against the Project or any
portion thereof in any Calendar Year during the Term. Taxes shall be
reduced by any recovery or refund received of Taxes previously paid by the
Landlord, provided such refund relates to taxes paid during the Term of
this Lease.
B. Tenant shall pay to the Landlord as Additional Rent Tenant's
Proportion of Expenses and Taxes attributable to each Calendar Year of the
Term. The amount of Taxes attributable to a Calendar Year shall be the
amount assessed for any such Calendar Year, even though the assessment for
such Taxes may be payable in a different Calendar Year.
C. As soon as reasonably feasible after the expiration of each
Calendar Year, Landlord will furnish Tenant a statement ("Adjustment
Statement") showing the following:
(1) Expenses and Taxes for Calendar Year last ended and the
amount of Expenses and Taxes payable by Tenant for such Calendar Year;
(2) The amount of Rent Adjustments due Landlord for the Calendar
Year last ended, less credits for Rent Adjustment Deposits paid, if any;
and
(3) The Rent Adjustment Deposit due in the current Calendar Year.
D. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of each Adjustment
Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord:
(1) The amount of Rent Adjustment shown on said statement to be
due Landlord for the Calendar Year last ended; plus
(2) The amount, which when added to the Rent Adjustment Deposit
theretofore paid in the current Calendar Year would provide that Landlord
has then received such portion of the Rent Adjustment Deposit as would have
theretofore been paid to Landlord had Tenant paid one twelfth (1/12) of the
Rent Adjustment Deposit, for the current Calendar Year, to Landlord monthly
on the first (1st) day of each month of such Calendar Year.
Commencing on the first (1st) day of the first (1st) month after Tenant's
receipt of each Adjustment Statement, and on the first day of each month
thereafter until Tenant receives a more current Adjustment Statement,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord one twelfth (1/12) of the Rent Adjustment
Deposit shown on said statement. During the last complete Calendar Year,
Landlord may include in the Rent Adjustment Deposit its estimate of the
Rent Adjustment which may not be finally determined until after the
expiration of the Term. The Tenant's obligation to pay the Rent Adjustment
shall survive the Term.
E. Tenant's payment of the Rent Adjustment Deposit for each Calendar
Year shall be credited against the Rent Adjustments for such Calendar Year.
All Rent Adjustment Deposits may be co-mingled and no interest shall be
paid to Tenant thereon. If the Rent Adjustment Deposit paid by Tenant for
any Calendar Year exceeds the Rent Adjustments for such Calendar Year, then
Landlord shall give a credit to Tenant in an amount equal to such excess
against the Rent Adjustments due for the next succeeding Calendar Year,
except that if any such excess relates to the last Calendar Year of the
Term, then, provided that no default of Tenant exists
hereunder, Landlord shall refund such excess to Tenant.
F. Tenant or its representative shall have the right to examine
Landlord's books and records with respect to the items in the Adjustment
Statement during normal business hours at any time within twenty business
(20) days following the furnishing by Landlord to Tenant of such Adjustment
Statement. Unless Tenant shall take written exception to any item within
thirty (30) days after the furnishing of the foregoing statement, such
statement shall be considered as final and accepted by Tenant. Any amount
due to Landlord as shown on any such statement, whether or not written
exception is taken thereto, shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days
after Landlord shall have submitted the statement, without prejudice to any
such written exception.
G. If the Commencement Date is on any day other than the first (1st)
day of January or if the Termination Date is on any day other than the last
day of December, then any Rent Adjustments due Landlord shall be prorated.
SECTION 5.3. INTEREST AND LATE CHARGES ON LATE PAYMENTS. Rent not
------------------------------------------
paid within thirty (30) days of the date when due shall bear interest from the
date when the same is payable under the terms of this Lease until the same shall
be paid at an annual rate of interest equal to the rate of interest announced
from time to time by The First National Bank of Chicago ("First") as its
Corporate Base Rate, plus three percent (3%), unless a lesser rate shall then be
the maximum rate permissible by law, in which event said lesser rate shall be
charged ("Lease Interest Rate"). The term "Corporate Base Rate" means that rate
of interest announced by First from time to time as its "Corporate Base Rate" of
interest, changing automatically and simultaneously with each change in the
Corporate Base Rate made by First from time to time. Any publication issued or
published by First from time to time or a certificate signed by an officer of
First stating its Corporate Base Rate as of a date shall be conclusive evidence
of the Corporate Base Rate on that date. Tenant further acknowledges that its
late payment of any Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses
not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely
difficult or impracticable to fix. Such costs and expenses will include,
without limitation, loss of use of money, administrative and collection costs
and processing and accounting expenses. Therefore, if any installment of
monthly Base Rent is not received by Landlord when due or any other sum due
hereunder is not paid when due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late
charge equal to three percent (3%) of the unpaid amount. Such late charge is in
addition to any interest due pursuant to the first (1st) sentence of this
Section 5.3. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a
reasonable estimate of costs and expenses incurred by Landlord from, and is fair
compensation to Landlord for, its loss suffered, by such non-payment by Tenant.
Acceptance of the late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default
with respect to such non-payment by Tenant or prevent Landlord from exercising
any other rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Failure
to pay the late charge shall constitute a default under this Lease.
SECTION 5.4. RENT ABATEMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the
--------------
contrary contained in this Article V, so long as Tenant is not in default under
the terms and conditions of this Lease as of the date any monthly installment of
Base Rent would otherwise be due and owing during the Abatement Period (as
hereinafter defined), Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent for
the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on September 30, 1999
(hereinafter referred to as the "Abatement Period"). In the event Tenant is in
default (after any applicable grace or cure periods) under the terms and
conditions of this Lease on the day any installment of Base Rent would have been
due hereunder but for the abatement of Base Rent during the Abatement Period,
then, in such event, the rent abatements attributable to Base Rent, as set forth
above, shall no longer be in effect and Tenant shall be obligated, during the
period of such uncured default, to pay the monthly installment of Base Rent that
would have been due and owing hereunder but for the abatement of Base Rent
(hereinafter referred to as the "Rent Default Payments"). Tenant shall not be
entitled to a proration of any Rent Default Payments so paid whether or not
Tenant cures the default at any time prior to the last day of the calendar
month for which such installments were paid. Tenant shall further be obligated
to make all required Rent Default Payments until the subject default is cured.
After such default is cured, Tenant shall then again be entitled to the monthly
Base Rent abatement unless another default occurs. In no event shall Tenant be
entitled to any extension of the Abatement Period because of any payment of a
full monthly installment of Rent made due to defaults.
ARTICLE VI
----------
UTILITIES AND SERVICES
----------------------
SECTION 6.1. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Tenant shall pay, directly to
----------------------
the appropriate supplier, all costs of natural gas, electricity, heat, light,
power, sewer service, telephone, water, refuse disposal and other utilities and
janitorial, security and other services supplied to the Premises. Landlord
shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, separately meter the Premises. If,
however, at any time, any services or utilities are jointly metered, Landlord
shall make a reasonable determination of Tenant's proportionate share thereof
and Tenant shall pay its proportionate share, as Additional Rent hereunder,
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's written statement. Landlord
shall not in any way be liable or responsible to Tenant for any cost or damage
or expense which Tenant may sustain or incur if either the quality or character
of such service is changed or is no longer available or suitable for Tenant's
requirements. Landlord agrees that Landlord shall not cause Tenant's utility
service to be interrupted.
ARTICLE VII
-----------
USE
---
SECTION 7.1. USE. The Premises shall be used for the Use only, and
---
for no other purpose.
SECTION 7.2. PROHIBITED USES. Tenant shall not permit the Premises,
---------------
or any portion thereof, to be used in such manner which impairs Landlord's
right, title or interest in the Premises or any portion thereof, or in such
manner which gives rise to a claim or claims of adverse possession or of a
dedication of the Premises, or any portion thereof, for public use. Tenant
shall not use or occupy the Premises or permit the Premises to be used or
occupied contrary to any restrictive covenant existing on the Commencement Date,
statute, rule, order, ordinance, requirement or government regulation applicable
thereto or in any manner which would violate any certificate of occupancy
affecting the same or which would render the insurance thereon void or the
insurance risk more hazardous, or which would cause structural injury to the
Building or cause the value or usefulness of the Premises or any part thereof to
diminish or which would constitute a public or private nuisance or waste, and
Tenant agrees that it will, promptly upon discovery of any such use, immediately
notify Landlord and take all necessary steps to compel the discontinuance of
such use.

of the same by Landlord or third parties.

affecting the Premises or any part thereof, irrespective of the nature of the
work required to be done, extraordinary as well as ordinary, whether or not the
same involve or require any structural changes or additions in or to the

certificates of insurance, and such other evidence of coverages as Landlord may
reasonably request, and evidence of payment of all premiums and other expenses
owed in connection therewith. Upon Tenant's default in obtaining or delivering
the policy for any such insurance or Tenant's failure to pay the charges
therefor, Landlord may, at its option, on or after the tenth (10th) day after
written notice thereof is given to Tenant, procure or pay the charges for any
such policy or policies and the total cost and expense (including attorneys'
fees) thereof shall be immediately paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent
upon receipt of a ▇▇▇▇ therefor. Within thirty (30) days after demand by
Landlord that the minimum amount of any coverage be so increased, Tenant shall
furnish Landlord with evidence of Tenant's compliance with such demand.
SECTION 9.3. SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant agree to have all
-----------
fire and extended coverage and material damage insurance which may be carried by
either of them endorsed with a clause providing that any release from liability
of or waiver of claim for recovery from the other party or any of the parties
named in Section 9.2 above entered into in writing by the insured thereunder
prior to any loss or damage shall not affect the validity of said policy or the
right of the insured to recover thereunder, and providing further that the
insurer waives all rights of subrogation which such insurer might have against
the other party or any of the parties named in Section 9.2 above. Without
limiting any release or waiver of liability or recovery contained in any other
Section of this Lease but rather in confirmation and furtherance thereof,
Landlord and any beneficiaries of Landlord waive all claims for recovery from
Tenant, and Tenant waives all claims for recovery from Landlord, any
beneficiaries of Landlord and the managing agent for the Project and their
respective agents, partners and employees, for any loss or
damage to any of its property insured under valid and collectible insurance
policies to the extent of any recovery collectible under such insurance
policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Lease to
the contrary, any release or any waiver of claims shall not be operative, nor
shall the foregoing endorsements be required, in any case where the effect of
such release or waiver is to invalidate insurance coverage or invalidate the
right of the insured to recover thereunder or increase the cost thereof
(provided that in the case of increased cost the other party shall have the
right, within ten (10) days following written notice, to pay such increased
cost, thereby keeping such release or waiver in full force and effect).
SECTION 9.4. MISCELLANEOUS INSURANCE PROVISIONS. Landlord and
----------------------------------
Tenant further agree as follows:
A. Tenant and Contractors expressly understand and agree that any
insurance coverages and limits furnished by the Tenant and Contractors
shall in no way limit the Tenant's and Contractor's liabilities and
responsibilities specified under the Lease, or contracts executed relating
to the Project, or by law.
B. The failure of Landlord to obtain such evidence from Tenant or
Contractors before permitting Tenant or Contractors to commence work shall
not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord, and Tenant or contractors shall
remain under continuing obligation to maintain the insurance coverage.
C. Any and all deductibles on referenced insurance coverages shall be
borne by Tenant and Contractors.
D. Tenant expressly understands and agrees that any insurance
maintained by Landlord shall apply in excess of and not contribute with
insurance provided by the Tenant or Contractor under the Lease.
E. If Tenant or any Contractors desire additional coverage, higher
limits of liability, or other modifications for their own protection,
Tenant and such Contractors shall be responsible for the acquisition and
cost of such additional protection.
F. Tenant agrees, and shall cause each Contractor in connection with
the Project to agree, that all insurers shall waive their rights of
subrogation against Landlord.
G. Tenant shall not violate or permit to be violated any of the
conditions or provisions of any of the insurance policies, and Tenant shall
so perform and satisfy or cause to be performed and satisfied the
requirements of the companies writing such policies so that at all times
companies of good standing, satisfactory to Landlord shall be willing to
write and continue such insurance.
H. Landlord shall not be limited in the proof of any damages which
Landlord may claim against Tenant and Contractors arising out of or by
reason of Tenant's and Contractor's failure to provide and keep in force
insurance, as aforesaid, to the amount of the insurance premium or premiums
not paid or incurred by Tenant and Contractors and which would have been
payable under such insurance, but Landlord shall also be entitled to
recover as damages for such breach the uninsured amount of any loss, to the
extent of any deficiency in the insurance required by the provisions of
this Lease, and damages, costs and expenses of suit suffered or incurred by
reason of damage to, or destruction of, the Project or the Premises
occurring during any period when Tenant or Contractors shall have failed or
neglected to provide insurance as aforesaid.
I. The insurance required by this Lease, at the option of Tenant or
Contractors, may be effected by blanket or umbrella policies issued to
Tenant or Contractors covering the Premises and other properties owned or
leased by Tenant or Contractors, provided that the policies otherwise
comply with the provisions of this Lease and allocate to the Premises the
specified coverage, without possibility of reduction or coinsurance by
reason of, or damage to, any other premises covered therein.
J. All insurance companies shall have a Best rating of not less than
A/VII, or an equivalent rating in the event Best ceases to exist or provide
a rating.
K. Tenant and Contractors shall provide and keep in force such other
insurance in such amounts as may from time to time be reasonably required
by Landlord against such other insurable hazards as at the time are
commonly insured against in the case of prudent owners of properties
similar to the Project and the Premises, and in that connection Landlord
may require changes in the forms, types and amounts of insurance required
pursuant to this Section or add to, modify or delete other requirements;
and in any event, if under applicable law, rule, regulation or ordinance of
any governmental authority, state or federal, having jurisdiction in the
Premises, liability may be imposed upon Landlord on account of the use or
operation of the Premises or the Project or other improvements, insurance
within limits reasonably satisfactory to Landlord shall be maintained by
Tenant and Contractors against any such liability.
L. The required insurance to be carried shall not be limited by any
limitations expressed in the indemnification language herein.

---------------------
SECTION 10.1. TOTAL DAMAGE. In the event that (a) the Premises are
------------
made untenantable by fire or other casualty and Landlord shall decide not to

casualty that Landlord shall decide to demolish or not rebuild the same, then,
in any of such events, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
notice to Tenant given within ninety (90) days after the date of such fire or
other casualty and the Rent shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and paid to
the date of such fire or other casualty. In the event the Premises are made
untenantable by fire or other casualty and Landlord shall decide to rebuild and
restore the same, this Lease shall not terminate and Landlord shall repair and
restore the Premises at Landlord's expense within one hundred eighty (180) days
after the date of such fire or other casualty, subject, however to (i)
reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and (ii) delays caused by matters
beyond Landlord's control, and Rent shall ▇▇▇▇▇ on a per diem basis during the
period of reconstruction and repair.
SECTION 10.2. PARTIAL DAMAGE. In the event the Premises are
--------------
partially damaged by fire or other casualty but are not made wholly
untenantable, then Landlord shall, except during the last year of the Term
hereof, proceed with all due diligence to repair and restore the Premises,
subject, however, to (i) reasonable delays for insurance adjustments, and (ii)
delays caused by forced beyond Landlord's control. In such event, Rent shall

neglect of Tenant, Rent shall not ▇▇▇▇▇ during said period. If the Premises are
made partially untenantable as aforesaid during the last six (6) months of the
Term hereof, Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as

LIENS
-----
SECTION 11.1. LIEN CLAIMS. Tenant shall not do any act which shall
-----------
in any way encumber the title of Landlord in and to the Premises or the
Building, nor shall any interest or estate of Landlord in the Premises or the
Building be in any way subject to any claim by way of lien or encumbrance,
whether by operation of law or by virtue of any express or implied contract by
Tenant, and any claim to or lien upon the Premises or the Building arising from
any act or omission of Tenant shall accrue only against the leasehold estate of
Tenant and shall in all respects be subject and subordinate to the paramount
title and rights of Landlord in and to the Premises or the Building. Tenant
will not permit the Premises or the Building to become subject to any
mechanics', laborers' or materialmen's lien on account of labor or material
furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to Tenant in connection
with work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed on the
Premises by or at the direction of sufferance of Tenant; provided, however that
Tenant shall have the right to contest in good faith and with reasonable
diligence, the validity of any such lien or claimed lien if Tenant shall first
give to Landlord a surety bond reasonably acceptable to Landlord or an amount
equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the amount of the lien or claimed
lien which, together with interest earned thereon, shall be held by Landlord as
security to insure payment thereof and to prevent any sale, foreclosure or
forfeiture of the Premises by reason of non-payment thereof. The amount so
deposited with Landlord, if applicable, shall be held by Landlord in an account
established at a federally insured banking institution until satisfactory
removal of said lien or claim of lien. On any final determination of the lien
or claim for lien, Tenant will immediately pay any judgment rendered, with all
proper costs and charges, and will, at its own expense, have the lien released
and any judgment satisfied. Should Tenant fail to diligently contest and pursue
such lien contest, Landlord may, at its option, use the sums so deposited to
discharge any such lien upon the renewal of such lien or encumbrance Landlord
shall pay all such sums remaining on deposit to Tenant.
SECTION 11.2. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE. If Tenant shall fail to
------------------------
contest the validity of any lien or claimed lien or fail to give security to
Landlord to insure payment thereof, or shall fail to prosecute such contest with
diligence, or shall fail to have the same released and satisfy any judgment
rendered thereon, then Landlord may, at its election (but shall not be so
required) remove or discharge such lien or claim for lien (with the right, in
its discretion, to settle or compromise the same), and any amounts advanced by
Landlord, including reasonable attorneys' fees, for such purposes shall be so
much additional rent due from Tenant to Landlord at the next rent date after any
such payment, with interest thereon at the Lease Interest Rate from the date so
advanced.

TENANT ALTERATIONS
------------------
SECTION 12.1. ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall not at any time during the
-----------
Term of this Lease make any addition that will increase the size of the
Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will allow the expansion of
the Premises into the parking lot in the form of an addition to the Building,
subject to the approval of the Village of Oak Brook, Illinois ("VILLAGE"), and
Landlord and Tenant reaching a subsequent agreement with respect to the area to
be expanded, timing, notification, length of lease term upon expansion, payment
of costs for such expansion and such other matters reasonably required to be
resolved to the satisfaction of Landlord. In the event that Landlord and Tenant
are unable to agree
upon all such matters in their respective sole discretion, Tenant may not expand
the Premises.
Except as set forth in Article XXXV, Tenant shall not make alterations
to the structural components of the Premises, alterations which affect the
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety or other systems in the Premises
or alterations which cost in excess of $25,000.00 either individually or in the
aggregate over a twelve (12) month period of time (hereinafter referred to as
"MAJOR ALTERATIONS") without the advance written consent of Landlord, which
consent may be granted or denied at Landlord's sole discretion. Tenant may make
alterations to the Premises which are not Major Alterations (hereinafter
referred to as "MINOR ALTERATIONS") without the prior written consent of
Landlord. (Major Alterations and Minor Alterations are hereinafter collectively
referred to as "ALTERATIONS".) An addition to or expansion of the Premises
shall be deemed to be a Major Alteration. No Alterations to the Premises for
which Landlord's consent is required shall be commenced by Tenant until Tenant
has furnished Landlord with a satisfactory certificate or certificates from an
insurance company acceptable to Landlord, evidencing insurance coverage required
under Section 9.2 hereof. Any Alterations by Tenant hereunder shall be done in
a good and workmanlike manner in compliance with any legal requirements. Upon
completion of any Major Alterations by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall furnish
Landlord with a copy of the "as built" plans covering such construction.
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will make all Alterations on the Premises
which may be necessary by the act or neglect of any other person or corporation
(public or private), except Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors.
Before commencing any Major Alterations: (a) plans and specifications therefor,
prepared by a licensed architect, shall be submitted to and approved by
Landlord; (b) Tenant shall furnish to Landlord an estimate of the cost of the
proposed work, certified by the architect who prepared such plans and
specifications; (c) all contracts for any proposed work and Contractor's
performing work shall be submitted to and approved by Landlord; (d) Tenant shall
either furnish to Landlord a payment and performance bond from the Contractor in
form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, or shall deposit an amount equal to
100% of the cost of completing the Alterations in an escrow reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord to insure payment for the completion of all work free
and clear of liens; (e) evidence of insurance as required by Article IX hereof;
and (f) such other requirements as Landlord may reasonably require to be
satisfied. Before commencing any Major Alterations and if requested by
Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written certification that the
Major Alterations do not have any materially adverse environmental impact on the
Premises. Prior to the commencement of any construction activity for which
Landlord's consent shall be required, certificates of such insurance coverages
shall be provided to Landlord and renewal certificates shall be delivered to
Landlord prior to the expiration date of the respective policies.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no expansion of the Premises or
Alterations of any kind shall be made which would (i) change the general use or
structure of the Premises or any part thereof; (ii) decrease the size of the
Premises or any part thereof; (iii) reduce or impair, to any material extent,
the value, rentability or usefulness of the Premises or constitute waste; or
(iv) give to any owner, lessee or occupant of any other property or to any other
person or corporation any easement, right-of-way or any other right over the
Premises.
Any Alterations shall be made with reasonable dispatch and in a good
and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable permits and
authorizations and buildings and zoning laws and with all other legal
requirements. If any work does not comply with the provisions of this Lease,
Landlord may, by thirty (30) days' notice to Tenant, require that Tenant stop
the work and take steps necessary to cause corrections to be made, or Landlord
may, itself, perform the work, at Tenant's cost.
SECTION 12.2. OWNERSHIP OF ALTERATIONS. All Alterations (except
------------------------
Tenant's Equipment, as defined in Section 19.2 hereof), put in at the expense of
Tenant shall become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be
surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the termination of this
Lease, or at Landlord's option, provided Landlord shall have advised Tenant in
writing at the time of its consent to said Alteration is sought that same must
be removed and restored to its original condition.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall remove the items described on
EXHIBIT "E" attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof upon the
termination of the Lease and shall repair all damage to the Premises caused by
such removal.
SECTION 12.3. SIGNS. Tenant shall not place any signs on any part
-----
of the Building or Land without the prior written consent of Landlord.
Notwithstanding any of the immediately foregoing provisions of this Section
12.3, Tenant may place a lighted sign visible from the Tollway on the east side
of the Premises and a building standard sign adjacent to the entrance to the
Premises, provided that (i) the installation and dimensions of said signs are in
strict accordance with applicable law, ordinances and Restrictions; (ii) Tenant
continually maintains said signs in a first-class manner, (iii) Tenant, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, removes said signs at the expiration of the Term
and restores the area in which said sign is placed to its condition prior to the
installation of said signs, and (iv) Landlord approves the signs, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
SECTION 12.4. TENANT INDEMNITY. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify
----------------
and hold the Landlord, its beneficiaries, shareholders, partners or members and
their respective agents and employees harmless from any and all liabilities of
every kind and description which may arise out of or be connected in any way
with said Alterations except to the extent the same arise out of Landlord's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any mechanic's lien filed against the
Premises for work claimed to have been furnished to Tenant shall be discharged
of record by Tenant within ten (10) days thereafter, at Tenant's expense. Upon
completing any Alterations, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with contractors'
affidavits and full and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all
labor and materials expended and used. All Alterations shall comply with all
insurance requirements and with all ordinances and regulations of any pertinent
governmental authority. All alterations and additions shall be constructed in a
good and workmanlike manner and only good grades of materials shall be used.
SECTION 12.5. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. Notwithstanding any other
--------------------
term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease, in the event that any
Alteration has any material adverse environmental impact on the Premises,
Landlord may deny the Tenant the right to proceed in Landlord's sole and
absolute discretion.

CONDEMNATION
------------
SECTION 13.1. TAKING: LEASE TO TERMINATE. If a portion of the
---------------------------
Building or the Premises shall be lawfully taken or condemned for any public or
quasi-public use or purpose, or conveyed under threat of such condemnation and
as a result thereof the Premises cannot be used for the same purpose and with
the same utility as before such taking or conveyance, the Term of this Lease
shall end upon, and not before, the date of the taking of possession by the
condemning authority, and without apportionment of the award. Tenant hereby
assigns to Landlord, Tenant's interest in such award, if any. Current Rent shall
be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the Building
shall be so taken or condemned, or if the grade of any street or alley adjacent
to the Building is changed by any competent authority and such taking or change
of grade makes it necessary or desirable to demolish, substantially remodel, or
restore the Building, the Landlord shall have the right to cancel this Lease
upon not less than ninety (90) days' prior notice to the date of cancellation
designed in the notice.
SECTION 13.2. TAKING: LEASE TO CONTINUE. In the event only a part
--------------------------
of the Premises shall be taken as a result of the exercise of the power of
eminent domain or condemned for a public or quasi-public use or purpose by any
competent authority or sold to the condemning authority under threat of
condemnation, and as a result thereof the balance of the Premises can be used
for the same purpose
as before such taking, sale or condemnation, this Lease shall not terminate and
Landlord, at its sole cost and expense up to the amount of any condemnation
award, shall, to the extent practical, promptly repair and restore the Premises,
subject to extension due to delay because of changes, deletion or additions,
acts of Tenant, strikes, lockouts, casualties, acts of God, war, fuel or energy
shortages, material or labor shortages, governmental regulation or control,
severe weather conditions or other causes beyond the actual control of Landlord
and Landlord's receipt of insurance proceeds. Any award paid as a consequence of
such taking, sale or condemnation, shall be paid to Landlord. Any sums not so
disbursed shall be retained by Landlord. In the event of a taking of land only,
this Lease shall not terminate and Landlord shall not be obligated to repair or
restore the Premises.
SECTION 13.3. TENANT'S CLAIM. To the extent permitted by law and
--------------
subject to the rights of any lender with respect to the Premises, Tenant shall
be allowed to pursue a claim against the condemning authority (hereinafter
referred to as the "Tenant's Claim") that shall be independent of and wholly
separate from any action, suit or proceeding relating to any award to Landlord
for reimbursement of relocation expenses or for Tenant's Equipment and personal
property, provided: (i) Tenant's Claim shall in no way limit, affect, alter or
diminish in any kind or way whatsoever Landlord's award as a result of such
taking, sale or condemnation; (ii) Tenant's Claim shall in no event include any
claim for any interest in real property, it being expressly understood and
agreed that all sums paid with respect to the real property interests taken,
sold or condemned shall be the sole property of Landlord; and (iii) Tenant's
Claim shall in no event be joined with Landlord's proceeding or argued or heard
concurrently therewith and if the tribunal hearing Tenant's Claim orders such
joinder, Tenant agrees to voluntarily dismiss Tenant's Claim without prejudice
until such time as Landlord has received its award for such taking, sale or
condemnation.g: Lease to Continue.

ASSIGNMENT -- SUBLETTING BY TENANT
----------------------------------
SECTION 14.1. NO ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING OR OTHER TRANSFER. Tenant
-------------------------------------------
shall not assign this Lease or any interest hereunder, nor shall Tenant sublet
in excess of 20,000 square feet of the Premises or permit the use or occupancy
of the Premises or any part thereof by anyone other than Tenant, without the
express prior written consent of Landlord which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. No assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant of its
obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall continue to be liable as a principal and
not as a guarantor or surety, to the same extent as though no assignment or
sublease had been made, unless specifically provided to the contrary in
Landlord's consent. Consent by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall not be
deemed, construed or held to be consent to any additional assignment or
subletting, but each successive act shall require similar consent of Landlord.
Landlord shall be reimbursed by Tenant for any costs or expenses incurred
pursuant to any request by Tenant for consent to any such assignment or
subletting. In the consideration of the granting or denying of consent,
Landlord may, at its option, take into consideration: (i) the business
reputation and credit worthiness of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (ii) any
required alteration of the Premises; (iii) the intended use of the Premises by
the proposed subtenant or assignee; and (iv) any other factors which Landlord
shall deem relevant.

benefit of Landlord and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord promptly when due
under any such subletting as Additional Rent due hereunder.

any capital stock of Tenant, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of
law, or any combination of any of the foregoing transactions) resulting in the
transfer of control of Tenant, other than by reason of death, shall be deemed to
be a voluntary assignment of this Lease by Tenant subject to the provisions of
this Section 14. If Tenant is a partnership, any transaction or series of
transactions (including without limitation any withdrawal or admittance of a
partner or a change in any partner's interest in Tenant, whether voluntary,
involuntary or by operation of law, or any combination of any of the foregoing
transactions) resulting in the transfer of control of Tenant, other than by
reason of death, shall be deemed to be a voluntary assignment of this Lease by
Tenant subject to the provisions of this assignment of this Lease by Tenant
subject to the provisions of this Section 14. If Tenant is a privately held
corporation, a change or series of changes in ownership of stock which would
result in direct or indirect change in ownership by the stockholders or an
affiliated group of stockholders of less than fifty percent (50%) of the
outstanding stock as of the date of the execution and delivery of this Lease
shall not be considered a change of control. If Tenant is a publicly held
corporation, any one or connected series of stock transactions which would
result in direct or indirect change in ownership by the stockholders or an
affiliated group of stockholders of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the
outstanding stock as of the date of the execution and delivery of this Lease
shall be considered a change of control. Notwithstanding the immediately
foregoing, Tenant may, upon notice to, but without Landlord's consent, assign
this Lease to any corporation resulting from a merger or consolidation of
Tenant, provided that the total assets and the total net worth of such assignee
after such consolidation or merger shall be in excess of the greater of (i) the
net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such consolidation or merger, or (ii)
the net worth of Tenant as of the date hereof, determined by generally accepted
accounting principles and provided that Tenant is not at such time in default
hereunder, and provided further that such successor shall execute an instrument
in writing, acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion, fully assuming
all of the obligations and liabilities imposed upon Tenant hereunder and deliver
the same to Landlord. Tenant shall provide in its notice to Landlord such
information as may be reasonably required by Landlord to determine that the
requirements of this Section 14.4 have been satisfied. As used in this Section
14.4, the term "control" means possession of the power to vote not less than a
majority interest of any class of voting securities and partnership or limited
liability company interests or to direct or cause the direction (directly or
indirectly) of the management or policies of a corporation, or partnership or
limited liability company through the ownership of voting securities,
partnership interests or limited liability company interests, respectively.
SECTION 14.5. UNPERMITTED TRANSACTION. Any assignment, subletting,
-----------------------
use, occupancy, transfer or encumbrance of this Lease or the Premises without
Landlord's prior written consent shall be of no effect and shall, at the option
of Landlord, constitute a default under this Lease.
SECTION 14.6. PERMITTED TRANSFERS. Landlord's consent shall not be
-------------------
required for an assignment or sublet to a Tenant Successor or Tenant Affiliate
(as such terms are hereinafter defined), and Landlord shall not terminate this
Lease with respect to the Premises or any portion of the Premises as a result of
such assignment or sublease to a Tenant Successor or Tenant Affiliate, as long
as (i) Tenant gives reasonable prior notice to Landlord of the proposed
assignment or sublease, (ii) if an assignment, such assignee assumes the
obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and (iii) in the reasonable judgment of
Landlord, such assignee or subtenant has a net worth (computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles) equal to or greater than the
greater of the (y) net worth of the original named
Tenant at the time of such assignment or (z) the net worth of the original named
Tenant at the date of execution of this Lease. As used herein, the term "Tenant
Successor" shall mean any entity (i) which results from a merger or
consolidation with the original Tenant under this Lease or (ii) which acquires
all or substantially all of the assets of the original Tenant under this lease
for a legitimate business purpose; and the term "Tenant Affiliate" shall mean
any entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with (A)
the original Tenant named in this lease, or (B) a Tenant Successor. For purposes

equipment, and other articles of personal property used in the operation of the

and all personal property, fixtures, apparatus, machinery and equipment now or

DEFAULT
-------
SECTION 20.1. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Tenant agrees that any one or
-----------------
more of the following events shall be considered "Events of Default" as said
term is used herein:
(a) If an order, judgment or decree shall be entered by any court
adjudicating Tenant a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving a petition
seeking reorganization of Tenant or appointing a receiver, trustee or
liquidator of Tenant, or of all or a substantial part of its assets, and
such order, judgment or decree shall continue unstayed and in effect for
any period of sixty (60) days; or
(b) Tenant shall file an answer admitting the material
allegations of a petition filed against Tenant in any bankruptcy,
reorganization or insolvency proceeding or under any laws relating to the
relief of debtors, readjustment or indebtedness, reorganization,
arrangements, composition or extension; or
(c) Tenant shall make any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors or shall apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver,
trustee or liquidator of Tenant, or any of the assets of Tenant; or
(d) Tenant shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or
shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they come due, or
shall file a petition or an answer seeking reorganization or arrangement
with creditors or take advantage of any insolvency law; or
(e) A decree or order appointing a receiver of the property of
Tenant shall be made and such decree or order shall not have been vacated
within sixty (60) days from the date of entry or granting thereof; or
(f) Tenant shall abandon the Premises during the Term hereof; or
(g) Tenant shall default in making any payment of Rent or other
payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder when due as herein provided
and Tenant does not cure such default within three (3) days after written
notice from Landlord; provided, however, in the event that Landlord gives
Tenant more than two notices pursuant to this Section during any twelve
month period of time, no further notices shall be required to be delivered
to Tenant pursuant to this Section 20.1 (g) and it shall be an Event of
Default if the referenced amounts are not paid when due; or
(h) Tenant shall be in default in the performance of or
compliance with any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions in
this Lease other than those referred to in the foregoing subparagraphs (a)
through (g) of this Section for a period of twenty (20) days after written
notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the items in default, or in the
case of a default which cannot, with due diligence, be cured within said
twenty (20)-day period, Tenant fails to proceed within said twenty (20)
day-period to cure the same and thereafter to prosecute the curing of such
default with due diligence (it being intended in connection with a default
not susceptible of being cured with due diligence within said twenty (20)-
day period that the time of Tenant within which to cure the same shall be
extended for such period as may be necessary to complete the same with all
due diligence).
Upon the occurrence of any one or more of such Events of Default,
Landlord may at its election terminate this Lease or terminate Tenant's right to
possession only, without terminating this Lease. Upon termination of this Lease
or of Tenant's right to possession, Tenant shall immediately surrender
possession and vacate the Premises, and deliver possession thereof to Landlord,
and Landlord or Landlord's agents may immediately or any time thereafter without
notice, re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and all or any property
therefrom, either by any suitable action or proceeding at law or equity, without
being liable in indictment, prosecution or damages, therefor, and
repossess and enjoy the Premises, together with the right to receive all income
of, and from, the Premises.
If Landlord elects to terminate Tenant's right to possession only,
without terminating this Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, enter into
the Premises, remove Tenant's signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and
hold possession thereof as hereinabove provided, without such entry and
possession terminating this Lease or releasing Tenant, in whole or in part, from
Tenant's obligations to pay the Rent hereunder for the full Term or from any
other obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially
reasonably efforts to relet all or any part of the Premises for such rent and
upon terms as are commercially reasonable (including the right to relet the
Premises for a term greater or lesser than that remaining of the Term of
premises and the right to relet the Premises as a part of a larger area, the
right to change the character or use made of the Premises and the right to grant
concessions of free rent). For the purpose of such reletting, Landlord may
decorate or make any repairs, changes, alterations, or additions in or to the
Premises that may be necessary or desirable. If Landlord is unable to relet the
Premises after using such commercially reasonably efforts to do so, Landlord
shall have the right to terminate this Lease, in which event, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord liquidated damages (because the parties hereto recognize that as of
the date hereof actual damages are not ascertainable and are of imprecise
calculation and not as a penalty) equal to sixty percent (60%) of the Rent, and
other sums provided herein to be paid by Tenant for the remainder of the Term.
If the Premises are relet and sufficient sums shall not be realized from such
reletting after payment of all expenses of such decorations, repairs, changes,
alterations, additions and the expenses of repossession and such reletting, and
the collection of the Rent herein provided and other payments required to be
made by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease for the remainder of the Term
of this Lease then, in such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand any
such deficiency and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any
sums falling due under the terms of this Section from time to time, and all
costs and expenses of Landlord, including attorneys' fees, incurred in
connection with any such suit shall be paid by Tenant.
SECTION 20.2. WAIVERS. Tenant hereby expressly waives, so far as
-------
permitted by law, the service of any notice of intention to re-enter provided
for in any statute, and except as is herein otherwise provided. The terms
"enter," "re-enter," "entry" or "re-entry" as used in this Lease are not
restricted to their technical legal meanings.
SECTION 20.3. BANKRUPTCY. If Landlord shall not be permitted to
----------
terminate this Lease, as provided in this Article XX because of the provisions
of the United States Code relating to Bankruptcy, as amended (the "Bankruptcy
Code"), then Tenant as a debtor-in-possession or any trustee for Tenant agrees
promptly, within no more than sixty (60) days after the filing of the bankruptcy
petition, to assume or reject this Lease. In such event, Tenant or any trustee
for Tenant may only assume this Lease if: (a) it cures or provides adequate
assurances that the trustee will promptly cure any default hereunder; (b)
compensates or provides adequate assurance that Tenant will promptly compensate
Landlord of any actual pecuniary loss to Landlord resulting from Tenant's
default; and (c) provides reasonably adequate assurance of performance during
the fully stated term hereof of all of the terms, covenants, and provisions of
this Lease to be performed by Tenant. In no event after the assumption of this
Lease shall any then-existing default remain uncured for a period in excess of
the earlier of ten (10) days or the time period set forth herein. Adequate
assurance of performance of this Lease, as set forth hereinabove, shall include,
without limitation, adequate assurance (i) of the source of rent reserved
hereunder; and (ii) that the assumption of this Lease will not breach any
provision hereunder.
If Tenant assumes this Lease and proposes to assign the same pursuant
to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to any person or entity who shall have
made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of this Lease on terms acceptable
to Tenant, then notice of such proposed assignment, setting forth: (i) the name
and address of such person; (ii) all of the terms and conditions of such offer;
and (iii) the adequate assurance to be provided Landlord to assure such person's
future
performance under the Lease, including, without limitation, the assurance
referred to in Section 365(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be given to
Landlord by the Tenant no later than twenty (20) days after receipt by the
Tenant but in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to the date that the
Tenant shall make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for authority
and approval to enter into such assignment and assumption, and Landlord shall
thereupon have the prior right and option, to be exercised by notice to the
Tenant given at any time prior to the effective date of such proposed
assignment, to accept an assignment of this Lease upon the same terms and
conditions and for the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made
by such person, less any brokerage commissions which may be payable out of the
consideration to be paid by such person for the assignment of this Lease.
If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code any and all monies or other considerations
payable or otherwise to be delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the
exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of
the estate of the Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any and all
monies or other considerations constituting the Landlord's property under the
preceding sentence not paid or delivered to the Landlord shall be held in trust
for the benefit of Landlord and shall be promptly paid to the Landlord.
Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be conclusively deemed without further
act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on
and after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall upon demand
execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption. Any
such assignee shall be permitted to use the Leased Premises only for the Use.
Nothing contained in this Section shall, in any way, constitute a
waiver of the provisions of Article XIV of this Lease relating to alienation.
Tenant shall not, by virtue of this Section, have any further rights relating to
assignment other than those granted in the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding
anything in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts payable by Tenant to or on
behalf of Landlord under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as
rent, shall constitute rent for the purpose of Section 501(b)(6) or any
successive section of the Bankruptcy Code.

-----------
LANDLORD'S PERFORMANCE OF TENANT'S COVENANTS
--------------------------------------------
SECTION 21.1. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. In
------------------------------------------------
the event Tenant shall fail to maintain any insurance required to be paid by it
under the terms hereof, or in an Emergency Situation or upon occurrence of an
Event of Default, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated so to do), and
without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation of Tenant hereunder,
make any payment or perform any other act which Tenant is obligated to make or
perform under this Lease in such manner and to such extent as Landlord may deem
desirable; and in so doing Landlord shall also have the right to enter upon the
Premises for any purpose reasonably necessary in connection therewith and to pay
or incur any other necessary and incidental costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees. All sums so paid and all liabilities so incurred by
Landlord, together with interest thereon at the rate per annum which is the
lesser of (i) the Lease Interest Rate or (ii) the highest rate permitted by law
shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and shall be payable to Landlord upon
demand as Additional Rent. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to give prior
notice (which may be oral) of its performance, if reasonably feasible under the
circumstances. The performance of any such obligation by Landlord shall not
constitute a waiver of Tenant's default in failing to perform the same.
Inaction of Landlord shall never be considered as a waiver of any right accruing
to it pursuant to this Lease. Landlord, in making any
payment hereby authorized: (a) relating to Taxes, may do so according to any
▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate, without inquiry into the validity of any tax,
assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof; (b) for the
discharge, compromise or settlement of any lien, may do so in such amounts and
to such persons as Landlord reasonably may deem appropriate; or (c) in
connection with the completion of construction of improvements to the Premises
or the repair, maintenance or the payment of operating costs thereof, may do so
in such amounts and to such persons as Landlord reasonably may deem appropriate.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require Landlord to advance
monies for any purpose. Landlord shall not in any event be liable for
inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business or other damage of
Tenant or any other occupant of the Premises or any part thereof, by reason of
making repairs or the performance of any work on the Premises or on account of
bringing materials, supplies and equipment into or through the Premises during
the course thereof and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not
thereby be affected in any manner. In doing so, however, Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts not to interfere with the normal operation of the Premises.
The term "EMERGENCY SITUATION" shall mean a situation which has caused or is
likely to cause bodily injury to persons, contamination of or material physical
damage to the Premises or adjoining property or economic liability or criminal
jeopardy to Landlord. Tenant shall have the right to have one of Tenant's agents
or employees escort Landlord during any entry hereunder.
ARTICLE XXII
------------
EXERCISE OF REMEDIES
--------------------
SECTION 22.1. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy contained herein or
-------------------
otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Landlord, shall be considered exclusive
of any other remedy, but the same shall be cumulative and shall be in addition
to every other remedy given herein, now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute, and every power and remedy given by this Lease to Landlord
may be exercised from time to time and as often as occasion may arise or as may
be deemed expedient. No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or
power arising from any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein.
SECTION 22.2. NO WAIVER. No waiver of any breach of any of the
---------
covenants of this Lease shall be construed, taken or held to be a waiver of any
other breach, or a waiver, acquiescence in or consent to any further or
succeeding breach of the same covenant. The acceptance by Landlord of any
payment of Rent or other sums payable hereunder after the termination by
Landlord of this Lease or of Tenant's right to possession hereunder shall not,
in the absence of agreement in writing to the contrary by Landlord, be deemed to
restore this Lease or Tenant's right to possession hereunder, as the case may
be, but shall be construed as a payment on account and not in satisfaction of
damages due from Tenant to Landlord. Receipt of Rent by Landlord, with
knowledge of any breach of this Lease by Tenant or of any default by Tenant in
the observance or performance of any of the conditions or covenants of this
Lease, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any provision of this Lease.
SECTION 22.3. EQUITABLE RELIEF. In the event of any breach or
----------------
threatened breach by Tenant of any of the agreements, terms, covenants or
conditions contained in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to enjoin such
breach or reasonably threatened breach and shall have the right to invoke any
right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute as though re-entry,
summary proceedings, and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.
ARTICLE XXIII
-------------
SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES
--------------------------
SECTION 23.1. SUBORDINATION. Landlord may execute and deliver a
-------------
mortgage or trust deed in the nature of a mortgage (both sometimes referred to
as "Mortgage") against the Premises or any portion thereof. This Lease and the
rights of Tenant hereunder, shall automatically, and without the requirement of
the execution of any further documents, be and are hereby made expressly subject
and subordinate at all times to the lien of any Mortgage now or hereafter
encumbering any portion of the Project, and to all advances made or hereafter to
be made upon the security thereof; provided, however, the holder of said
Mortgage agrees in writing not to disturb the rights of Tenant under this Lease
so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant agrees to execute and deliver such instruments subordinating this Lease
to the lien of any such Mortgage as may be reasonably requested in writing by
Landlord from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, any mortgagee under a Mortgage may, by notice in writing to the Tenant,
subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease.
SECTION 23.2. MORTGAGE PROTECTION. Tenant agrees to give the holder
-------------------
of any Mortgage, by registered or certified mail, a copy of any notice of
default served upon the Landlord by Tenant, provided that prior to such notice
Tenant has received notice (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of an
assignment of rents and leases, or otherwise) of the address of such mortgagee
and containing a request therefor. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall
have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease,
then said mortgagee shall have an additional thirty (30) days after receipt of
notice thereof within which to cure such default or, if such default cannot be
cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary, if,
within such thirty (30) days, any mortgagee has commenced and is diligently
pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including but not limited
to commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure).
Such period of time shall be extended by any period within which such mortgagee
is prevented from commencing or pursuing such foreclosure proceedings by reason
of Landlord's bankruptcy. Until the time allowed as aforesaid for said
mortgagee to cure such defaults has expired without cure, Tenant shall have no
right to, and shall not, terminate this Lease on account of default. This Lease
may not be modified or amended so as to reduce the Rent or shorten the Term, or
so as to adversely affect in any other respect to any material extent the rights
of the Landlord, nor shall this Lease be cancelled or surrendered, without the
prior written consent, in each instance, of the mortgagee.
ARTICLE XXIV
------------
INDEMNITY AND WAIVER
--------------------
SECTION 24.1. INDEMNITY. Tenant shall not do or permit any act or
---------
thing to be done or omit to do any act or thing upon the Premises which may
subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility for injury, damage to
persons or property, or to any liability by reason of any violation of
applicable laws and shall exercise such control over the Premises so as to fully
protect Landlord against any such liability. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and
save Landlord, and any official, agent, beneficiary, contractor, director,
employee, lessor, mortgagee, officer, parent, partner, shareholder and trustee
of Landlord (each an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") representatives, successors and
assigns harmless from and against any and all liabilities, suits, judgments,
settlements, obligations, fines, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and
expenses, including, without limitation, engineers', architects' and attorneys'
fees, court costs and disbursements, which may be imposed upon or incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnified Party (other than due to the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord) by reason of any of the following occurring
during or after (but attributable to a period of time falling within) the Term:
A. any demolition or razing or construction of any improvements or
any other work or thing done in, on or about the Premises or any part
thereof by Tenant or any member of the
Tenant Group (defined below), including any claim that such work
constitutes "public works";
B. any use, nonuse, possession, occupation, alteration, repair,
condition, operation, maintenance or management of the Premises or any part
thereof or of any tunnel, creek, ditch, detention area, sidewalk, curb or
vault adjacent thereto by Tenant or any member of the Tenant Group;
C. any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct on the part of
Tenant or any member of the Tenant Group;
D. any accident, injury (including death) or damage to any person or
property occurring in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof or in,
on or about any tunnel, creek, ditch, detention area, sidewalk, curb or
vault adjacent thereto as a result of the act or neglect of Tenant or any
member of the Tenant Group;
E. any failure to perform or comply with any of the covenants,
agreements, terms or conditions in this Lease on Tenant's part to be
performed or complied with (other than the payment of money);
F. any lien or claim which may be alleged to have arisen against or
on the Premises, or any lien or claim which may be alleged to have arisen
out of this Lease and created or permitted to be created by Tenant or any
member of the Tenant Group against any assets of Landlord, or any liability
which may be asserted against Landlord with respect thereto;
G. any failure on the part of Tenant to keep, observe and perform any
of the terms, covenants, agreements, provisions, conditions or limitations
contained in the contracts and agreements affecting the Premises on
Tenant's part to be kept, observed or performed; and
H. any contest permitted pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.
No agreement or covenant of Tenant in this Section 24.1 shall be
deemed to exempt Landlord from, and Tenant's obligations under this Section 24.1
shall not include liability or damages for injury to persons or damage to
property caused by or resulting from the negligence of Landlord, its agents or
employees.
The obligations of Tenant under this Section 24.1 shall not be
affected in any way by the absence in any case of covering insurance or by the
failure or refusal of any insurance carrier to perform any obligation on its
part under insurance policies affecting the Premises or any part thereof.
SECTION 24.2. WAIVER OF CLAIMS. Tenant waives all claims it may
----------------
have against Landlord and Landlord's agents for damage or injury to person or
property sustained by Tenant or any persons claiming through Tenant or by any
occupant of the Premises, or by any other person, resulting from any part of the
Premises becoming out of repair, or resulting from any accident on or about the
Premises or resulting directly or indirectly from any act or neglect of any
person, except as a result of Landlord's negligence, willful misconduct or
willful breach of this Lease. This Section 24.2. shall include, but not by way
of limitation, damage caused by water, snow, frost, steam, excessive heat or
cold, sewage, gas, odors or noise, or caused by bursting or leaking pipes or
plumbing fixtures, and shall apply equally whether any such damage results from
the act or neglect of Tenant or of any other person, and whether such damage be
caused or result from anything or circumstance above mentioned or referred to,
or to any other thing or circumstance whether of a like nature or of a wholly
different nature. All Tenant's Equipment and other personal property belonging
to Tenant or any occupant of the Premises that is in or on any part of the
Premises shall be there at the risk of Tenant or of such other person only, and
Landlord shall not be liable for any damage thereto (except as a result of
Landlord's negligence or
willful misconduct) or for the theft or misappropriation thereof.

---------
SECTION 25.1. CONDITION. Upon the termination of this Lease
---------
whether by forfeiture, lapse of time or otherwise, or upon the termination of
Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, Tenant will at once surrender and
deliver up the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, in good order, condition and
repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. "Broom clean" means free from all
debris, dirt, rubbish, personal property of Tenant, oil, grease, tire tracks or
other substances, inside and outside of the Improvements and on the grounds
comprising the Premises. Any damage caused by removal of Tenant from the
Premises, including any damages caused by removal of Tenant's Equipment as
defined above, shall be repaired and paid for by Tenant prior to the expiration
of the Term.
All Alterations temporary or permanent, excluding Tenant's Equipment
and the items described on EXHIBIT "E" hereto, in or upon the Premises placed
there by Tenant, shall become Landlord's property and shall remain upon the
Premises upon such termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise,
without compensation or allowance or credit to Tenant, unless Landlord requests
their removal. If Landlord so requests removal of said additions, hardware,
Alterations or improvements and Tenant does not make such removal by the
termination of this Lease, or within ten (10) days after such request, whichever
is later, Landlord may remove the same and deliver the same to any other place
of business of Tenant or warehouse same, and Tenant shall pay the cost of such
removal, delivery and warehousing to Landlord on demand.
SECTION 25.2. REMOVAL OF TENANT'S EQUIPMENT. Upon the termination
-----------------------------
of this Lease by lapse of time, or otherwise, Tenant may remove Tenant's
Equipment provided, however, that Tenant shall repair any injury or damage to
the Premises which may result from such removal. If Tenant does not remove
Tenant's Equipment from the Premises prior to the end of the Term, however
ended, Landlord may, at its option, remove the same and deliver the same to any
other place of business of Tenant or warehouse the same, and Tenant shall pay
the cost of such removal (including the repair of any injury or damage to the
Premises resulting from such removal), delivery and warehousing to Landlord on
demand, or Landlord may treat tenant's equipment as having been conveyed to
Landlord with this Lease as a ▇▇▇▇ of Sale, without further payment or credit by
Landlord to Tenant.
SECTION 25.3. HOLDOVER. If Tenant retains possession of the
--------
Premises or any part thereof after the termination of the Term, by lapse of time
and otherwise, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly rent, at double the
rate payable for the month immediately preceding said holding over (including
increases for additional rent which Landlord may reasonably estimate), computed
on a per-month basis, for each month or part thereof (without reduction for any
such partial month) that Tenant thus remains in possession, and in addition
thereto, Tenant shall pay Landlord all damages, consequential as well as direct,
sustained by reason of Tenant's retention of possession. Alternatively, in the
event that Tenant retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof after
termination of the Term, by lapse or otherwise, for a period of more than thirty
(30) days, at the election of Landlord expressed in a written notice to Tenant
and not otherwise, such retention of possession shall constitute a renewal of
this Lease for six (6) months, at a rental equal to one hundred twenty percent
(120%) of the Rent during the previous year. The provisions of this paragraph
do not exclude the Landlord's rights of re-entry or any other right hereunder.

SECURITY DEPOSIT
----------------
SECTION 31.1. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant agrees to deposit with
----------------
Landlord, upon the execution of this Lease, the Security Deposit as security for
the full and faithful performance by Tenant of each and every term, provision,
covenant and condition of this Lease. If Tenant defaults beyond any applicable
grace and/or cure period in respect to any of the terms, provisions, covenants
and conditions of this Lease including, but not limited to, payment of all
rental and other sums required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, Landlord may use,
apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of
such rent in default, for any sum which Landlord may expend or be required to
expend by reason of Tenant's default including, without limitation, any damages
or deficiency in the reletting of the Premises, whether such damages or
deficiency shall have accrued before or after re-entry by Landlord. If any of
the Security Deposit shall be so used, applied or retained by Landlord at any
time or from time to time, Tenant shall promptly, in each such instance, within
five (5) days of written demand therefor by Landlord, pay to Landlord such
additional sums as may be necessary to restore the Security Deposit to the
original amount set forth in the first Section of this Lease. If Tenant shall
fully and faithfully comply with all the terms, provisions, covenants and
conditions of this Lease, the Security Deposit, or the balance thereof, shall be
returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the later of (a) the time fixed
as the expiration of the Term of this Lease, including any early termination
pursuant to the terms of Articles X and XIII; (b) the removal of Tenant from the
Premises; (c) the surrender of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord in accordance
with this Lease; and (d) final determination of all amounts payable by Tenant
hereunder and payment of same. Except as otherwise required by law, Tenant shall
not be entitled to any interest on the aforesaid Security Deposit. In the
absence of evidence satisfactory to Landlord of an assignment of the right to
receive the Security Deposit or the remaining balance thereof, Landlord may
return the security deposit to the original Tenant, regardless of one or more
assignments of this Lease.
SECTION 31.2. LETTER OF CREDIT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
----------------
Security Deposit may, at the option of Tenant, be in the form of an
unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit (hereinafter referred to as the
"Letter of Credit") in the amount of the Security Deposit, in the form and
issued by a bank satisfactory to Landlord. The first such Letter of Credit
shall expire no earlier than thirty (30) days after the first (1st) anniversary
of the Commencement Date and all subsequent replacement Letters of Credit shall
expire no earlier than twelve (12) months from the expiry date of the then
outstanding and expiring Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit may contain an
"evergreen clause" providing that the Letter of Credit shall automatically renew
for one year intervals unless thirty (30) days prior to any expiration date,
Landlord is notified in writing by certified mail from the Letter of Credit
issuer that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed. Otherwise, Tenant shall
ensure that at all times during the term of this Lease and for thirty (30) days
after expiration of the Term, an unexpired Letter of Credit in the face amount
of the Security Deposit or cash in such amount shall be in the possession of
Landlord. During the Term, Tenant shall deliver a replacement Letter of Credit
to Landlord no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the
then outstanding and expiring Letter of Credit. Failure by Tenant to deliver
any replacement Letter of Credit as required above shall entitle Landlord to
draw under the outstanding Letter of Credit and to retain the entire proceeds
thereof for application as the Security
Deposit under this Lease. Each Letter of Credit shall be for the benefit of
Landlord and its successors and assigns and shall entitle Landlord or its
successors or assigns to draw from time to time under the Letter of Credit in
portions or in whole upon presentation of a sight draft and statement by
Landlord that Landlord is entitled to draw thereunder pursuant to the terms and
provisions of this Lease. If Tenant defaults in respect to any of the terms,
provisions, covenants or conditions of this Lease, including, but not limited
to, payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other amount payable by Tenant
hereunder, and such default is not cured by Tenant within the applicable notice
and cure periods contained in this Lease, if any, Landlord may draw upon the
Letter of Credit in part or in whole and may use, apply or retain the whole or
any part of the proceeds thereof or any cash or other Security Deposit for any
such payment, or for any other sum which Landlord may expend or be required to
expend by reason of Tenant's default, including without limitation any damages
or deficiency in the reletting of the Premises, whether such damages or
deficiency shall have occurred before or after any re-entry by Landlord. If the
Letter of Credit shall be so drawn upon or otherwise if any of the Security
Deposit shall be so used, applied or retained in each such instance, upon the
written demand therefor by Landlord, pay to Landlord such additional sum as may
be necessary to restore the Security Deposit or deliver a replacement Letter of
Credit.
SECTION 31.3. SUCCESSORS. Landlord may deliver the Letter of
----------
Credit or any cash Security Deposit funds deposited hereunder by Tenant to the
transferee of Landlord's interest in the Premises in the event that such
interest is transferred, and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any
further liability with respect to said Letter of Credit or cash Security
Deposit. Tenant hereby agrees not to look to any mortgagee as mortgagee,
mortgagee in possession, or successor in title to the Project for any letter of
Credit or cash Security Deposit required by Landlord hereunder, unless said
Letter of Credit or sums have actually been received by said mortgagee as
security for Tenant's performance of this Lease.
SECTION 31.4. RETURN OF SECURITY DEPOSIT. In the event that Tenant
--------------------------
has not been in default under this Lease at any time prior to September 30,
2004, the Security Deposit shall be reduced to one monthly Base Rent payment on
October 1, 2004. In such event, Landlord shall promptly return the excess
portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant or return any Letter of Credit held by
Landlord upon receipt of a cash deposit or a replacement Letter of Credit in the
correct amount.

RENEWAL OPTIONS
---------------
SECTION 33.1. FIRST RENEWAL OPTION. Tenant shall have the option
--------------------
("First Renewal Option") to renew the Initial Term for all of the Premises as of
the expiration date of the Initial Term, for one (1) additional period of five
(5) years ("First Renewal Term") upon the following terms and conditions:
A. Tenant gives Landlord written notice of its exercise of the
First Renewal Option at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the
Initial Term.
B. Tenant is not in default under this Lease either on the date
Tenant delivers the notice required under Section 33.1A above or at any
time thereafter prior to the commencement of the First Renewal Term.
C. Landlord shall be provided with evidence satisfactory to it
of Tenant's compliance with the terms and conditions of Article XXX hereof.
D. All of the terms and provisions of this Lease (except this
Section 33.1) shall be applicable to the First Renewal Term, except that
Base Rent for the First Renewal Term shall be determined as follows: Base
Rent for the First Renewal Term shall be equal to the greater of: (i) one
hundred percent (100%) of the Base Rent for the last year of the Initial
Term, or (ii) Landlord's determination of the Fair Value (as hereinafter
defined). For purposes of this Lease, "Fair Value" shall mean Landlord's
determination, utilizing its reasonable judgment, of an annual amount per
rentable square foot for each year of the applicable renewal term for which
Fair Value is being determined beginning with the first (1st) day of the
subject period that a willing, creditworthy, new non-equity tenant leasing
comparable space to Tenant's would pay and a willing, comparable landlord
of a building comparable to the Building in the Chicago metropolitan area
("Market") would accept at arm's length, giving appropriate consideration
to annual rental rate per rentable square foot, rental escalations, length
of lease term, size and location of the premises being leased, and other
generally applicable terms and conditions prevailing for comparable space
in comparable buildings located in the Market. In the event Tenant
notifies Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of
Landlord's determination of Fair Value that Tenant disagrees with
Landlord's determination, then, at the option of Landlord or Tenant,
Landlord and Tenant shall institute an appraisal procedure to determine the
Fair Value by jointly nominating and appointing, within ten (10) days after
receipt of notice from the other party, one appraiser who shall make a
determination of the Fair Value of the Premises. If Landlord and Tenant
fail to jointly agree on the nomination and appointment of one appraiser
within said ten (10) day period, each party shall then each nominate and
appoint one appraiser within fifteen (15) days after the end of the initial
ten (10) day period and give notice of such appointment to the other party.
Upon the appointment of the two appraisers as aforesaid, the two appraisers
so appointed shall jointly make a determination of the Fair Value of the
Premises. If either party fails to appoint an appraiser within said fifteen
(15) day period, the appraiser appointed by the other party shall make the
determination of the Fair Value. If the two appraisers are unable to agree
upon a determination of the Fair Value of the Premises within fifteen (15)
days after the appointment of the second appraiser, the two appraisers
shall jointly nominate and appoint a third appraiser within fifteen (15)
days after the expiration of said fifteen (15) day period and give written
notice of such appointment to both parties. In the event the two appraisers
fail to appoint such third appraiser within said fifteen (15) day period,
either party may thereafter apply to the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Illinois for the appointment of such third
appraiser. The third appraiser shall make a determination of the Fair
Value. In the event the three appraisers are unable to agree upon a
determination of the Fair Value of the Premises within fifteen (15) days
after the appointment of the third appraiser, then the Fair Value shall be
an amount equal to the average of the three values contained in the
respective written appraisals submitted by the appraisers. The appraisers
shall make their determination in writing and give notice thereof to both
parties. Each appraiser shall afford both parties a hearing and
the right to submit evidence, with the privilege of cross-examination in
connection with its determination of the Fair Value. In the event any
appraiser appointed as aforesaid shall die or become unable or unwilling to
act before completion of the appraisal, such appraiser's successor shall be
appointed in the same manner as provided above. Any appraiser appointed
hereunder shall (x) be independent of both parties (and of all persons and
entities with interest in either party); (y) have not less than five (5)
years' experience in the appraisal of real property; and (z) hold the
professional designation M.A.I., or if the M.A.I. ceases to exist, a
comparable designation from an equivalent professional appraiser
organization. All appraisal fees and expenses shall be borne equally by the
parties.
SECTION 33.2. SECOND RENEWAL OPTION. Tenant shall have the option
---------------------
(hereinafter referred to as the "Second Renewal Option") to renew the Term for
all of the Premises as of the expiration date of the First Renewal Term, for one
(1) additional period of five (5) years ("Second Renewal Term") upon the
following terms and conditions:
A. Tenant gives Landlord written notice of its exercise of the
Second Renewal Option at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of
the First Renewal Term.
B. Tenant is not in default under this Lease either on the date
Tenant delivers the notice required under (1) above or at any time
thereafter prior to the commencement of the Second Renewal Term so
exercised.
C. Landlord shall be provided with evidence satisfactory to it
of Tenant's compliance with the terms and conditions of Article XXX hereof.
D. All of the terms and provisions of this Lease (except this
Article XXXIII) shall be applicable to the Second Renewal Term, except that
Base Rent for the Second Renewal Term shall be determined as follows: Base
Rent for the Second Renewal Term shall be equal to the greater of: (i) one
hundred percent (100%) of the Base Rent for the last year of the First
Renewal Term, or (ii) Landlord's determination of the Fair Value.
SECTION 33.3. "AS IS" CONDITION. Tenant agrees to accept the
-----------------
Premises to be covered by this Lease during the First Renewal Term and the
Second Renewal Term in an "as is" physical condition and Tenant shall not be
entitled to receive any allowance, credit, concession or payment from Landlord
for the improvement thereof.
SECTION 33.4. AMENDMENT. In the event Tenant exercises the First
---------
Renewal Option or the Second Renewal Option, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually
execute and deliver an amendment to this Lease reflecting the renewal of the
Term on the terms herein provided, which amendment shall be executed and
delivered promptly after the determination of Base Rent to be applicable to the
First Renewal Term or Second Renewal Term as hereinabove provided.
SECTION 33.5. TERMINATION. The First Renewal Option and the Second
-----------
Renewal Option herein granted shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to
occur of (i) the expiration or termination of this Lease, (ii) the termination
of Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, (iii) any assignment or
subletting by Tenant, except as expressly allowed under this Lease, or (iv) the
failure of Tenant to timely or properly exercise the First Renewal Option or the
Second Renewal Option.
SECTION 33.6. NO COMMISSIONS. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and
--------------
agree that no real estate brokerage commission or finder's fee shall be payable
by Landlord in connection with any exercise by Tenant of the First Renewal
Option or the Second Renewal Option herein contained.
ARTICLE XXXIV

RIGHT OF FIRST OPPORTUNITY
--------------------------
SECTION 34.1. Provided Tenant is not in default under the terms and
conditions of this Lease as of the date Tenant notifies Landlord of its desire
to exercise a Right of First Opportunity" (as hereinafter defined), Tenant shall
have a right of first opportunity through the end of the Term ("Right of First
Opportunity") to lease that portion of the Building depicted on EXHIBIT "D"
attached hereto and made a part hereof ("Right of First Opportunity Premises"),
subject to the terms and conditions hereof. Prior to the date on which Landlord
contemplates submitting a "Proposal" to a third party with respect to the
leasing of all of the Right of First Opportunity Premises, provided Tenant is
not in default under any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall
notify Tenant, in writing, as to the date in the future ("Availability Date") as
of which the Right of First Opportunity Premises shall be available to Tenant
("Landlord's Notice"). Tenant must notify Landlord, in writing, within five (5)
business days immediately following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Notice of
Tenant's desire to exercise its Right of First Opportunity. Tenant's Right of
First Opportunity must be exercised as to one hundred percent (100%) of the
Right of First Opportunity Premises. If Tenant does not notify Landlord of its
election to exercise its Right of First Opportunity with respect to the Right of
First Opportunity Premises within said five (5) business day period, then,in
such case, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise its Right of
First Opportunity and shall waive its Right of First Opportunity. If Tenant
elects to exercise its Right of First Opportunity and so notifies Landlord of
same within the aforesaid five (5) business day period, then, in such case,
Tenant shall lease the Right of First Opportunity Premises as of the
Availability Date in its then "as-is" condition and on the same terms and
conditions contained in the Lease, except (i) Base Rent for the Right of First
Opportunity Premises shall be the Fair Value for the Right of First Opportunity
Space as determined pursuant to Section 33.1D hereof for the remainder of the
then applicable portion of the Term (i.e., Initial Term, First Renewal Term or
Second Renewal Term), (ii) the term "Premises" for all purposes of this Lease
shall include the Right of First Opportunity Premises, and (iii) Tenant's
Proportionate Share shall increase to 100%. Notwithstanding the immediately
foregoing, Tenant shall be required to commence paying Rent for the Right of
First Opportunity Premises on the Availability Date.

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
-------------------
SECTION 35.1. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.
-------------------
A. Tenant is hereby granted access to the Premises, commencing on
September 1, 1998, for the purposes of making such inspections and
measurements and testing as the Tenant deems necessary to enable Tenant to
prepare the "Tenant's Plans" (as hereinbelow defined) for the construction
of an office and data center in the Premises. However, Tenant shall not
commence actual construction within the Premises until Tenant has obtained
the prior approval to Tenant's Plans from Landlord (which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and provided which approval may not
be withhled merely because Tenant will be constructing a data center on the
Premises) and the Village and Tenant has submitted to Landlord the
insurance as required elsewhere in this Lease and the appropriate building
permits.
B. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense (subject to Tenant
Allowance, defined below), cause to be prepared and submitted to Landlord
for Landlord's prior approval, plans and specifications ("Tenant's Plans"),
including, but not limited to, all space plans, working drawings,
mechanical and engineering drawings, disclosing all construction to be
performed by Tenant in the Premises. Landlord's approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Landlord
agrees to review and either approve or disapprove (and noting with such
disapproval the specific items not approved and the reasons therefor)
Tenant's Plans within ten (10) business days of Landlord's receipt of a
complete set of Tenant's Plans. In the event Tenant's Plans are
disapproved, Tenant shall revise and resubmit Tenant's Plans and Landlord
shall review the same and notify Tenant of its approval or disapproval
within ten (10) business days thereafter in the same manner as required for
the initial submittal.
C. Tenant is hereby granted the right to utilize contractors of
Tenant's own choice ("Tenant's Contractor") to build out the Premises in
compliance with the approved Tenant's Plans ("Tenant's Work"), subject to
Landlord's reasonable approval as to the qualifications of the general
contractor and subcontractors with contracts in excess of $25,000.00, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Prior to commencing any work
on or to the Premises, Tenant shall submit all written contracts with
Tenant's Contractor for Landlord's approval. All installations,
alterations and additions shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike
manner and only new and good grades of material shall be used. Such work
performed by Tenant's Contractor shall comply with all applicable insurance
requirements, all laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations of the
Village, the State of Illinois and the United States of America. Tenant
shall permit Landlord to observe all construction operations within the
Premises performed by Tenant's Contractor. No silence or statement by any
representative of Landlord shall be deemed or construed as an assumption by
said person or Landlord of any responsibility for or in relation to the
construction of the Premises or any guarantee that the work completed
within the Premises complies with laws or with Tenant's Plans, or is
suitable or acceptable to Tenant for Tenant's intended business purposes.
D. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall file all necessary
plans with the appropriate governmental authorities having jurisdiction
over Tenant's Work. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining all permits,
authorizations and approvals necessary to perform and complete Tenant's
Work. Tenant shall not commence Tenant's Work until the required permits
authorizations and approvals for such work are obtained and delivered to
Landlord.
E. Tenant shall at all times keep the Premises and adjacent areas
free from accumulations of waste materials or rubbish caused by its
suppliers, contractors or workmen. Landlord reserves the right to do
clean-up at the expense of Tenant if Tenant fails to comply with Landlord's
reasonable cleanup requirements and Landlord notifies Tenant of such
failure and Tenant does not cure such failure within five (5) days
thereafter. At the completion of Tenant's Work, Tenant's Contractor shall
forthwith remove all rubbish and all tools, equipment and surplus materials
from and about the Premises and Building. Any damage caused by Tenant's
Contractor to any portion of the Building or to any property of Landlord
shall be repaired forthwith by Tenant at its expense to its condition prior
to such damage.
F. Tenant and Tenant's Contractor shall assume responsibility for the
prevention of accidents and shall take all reasonable safety precautions
with respect to Tenant's Work and shall comply with all reasonable safety
measures initiated by Landlord and with all applicable laws, ordinances,
rules, regulations and orders applicable to Tenant's Work including those
of any public authority for the safety of persons or property. Tenant shall
advise Tenant's Contractor to report to Landlord any injury to any of its
agents or employees and shall furnish Landlord a copy of the accident
report filed with its insurance carrier within three (3) days of its
occurrence.
G. The Landlord and its agents and their representatives shall at all
times have access to the Tenant's Work wherever it is in preparation or
progress for the purpose of observing and reviewing the same; provided,
however, Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with the performance of
Tenant's Work in connection with any such observations or reviews.
Tenant and Contractors shall provide reasonable facilities for such access
and for inspection.
H. The Tenant Allowance, defined below, shall be limited to
improvements or alterations by Tenant to the Building and shall not be used
by Tenant to purchase any equipment or personal property which shall be
solely used in the conduct of Tenant's business and is not to be
incorporated into the Building.
SECTION 35.2. TENANT ALLOWANCE. Provided no default exists under
----------------
this Lease, Landlord shall pay Tenant as Landlord's contribution for the costs
of construction of the Tenant Work a sum equal to ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND
NO/100 ($150,000.00) DOLLARS ("Tenant Allowance"). The cost of all work
necessary to construct the Tenant's Work (including, but not limited to, all
labor, material, permits) and to pay architectural fees, permit fees and
engineering fees shall, subject to the Tenant's Allowance, be the responsibility
of the Tenant. The Tenant's Allowance shall be paid in installments by the
Landlord to the Tenant's Contractor as the Work progresses within ten (10) days
of Tenant's presentation of reasonable documentation evidencing (i) the amounts
due, in relation to the work, to the general contractor and any subcontractors
and materialmen, including, but not limited to, general contractor's statement
and partial and final lien waivers, as the case may be, covering all Work for
which the Tenant is requesting payment; (ii) the percentage of the Work
completed; (iii) a sworn statement from Tenant setting forth in detail all
contractors and material suppliers with whom Tenant has contracted, their
addresses, work or materials to be furnished, amounts of contracts, amounts paid
to date, amounts of current payments and balances due; and (iv) a report by the
person or entity that prepared the Tenant's Plans certifying that the Tenant's
Work has been completed and materials are in place as indicated by the request
for payment of Tenant's Contractor. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining
and submitting to Landlord all documentation reasonably required by the Landlord
in relation to Tenant's Allowance draw requests made by Tenant. Tenant's
Allowance draw amounts shall never exceed, in the aggregate, the lesser of: (i)
the remaining unpaid amount of the Tenant's Allowance, or (ii) that amount equal
to ninety percent (90%) of the cost of all Tenant's Work completed in accordance
with the Tenant's Plans, as evidenced by the documentation furnished with such
request (including lien waivers). The ten percent (10%) of the cost of Tenant's
Work not disbursed ("Holdback") shall be disbursed to Tenant's Contractor with
the final payment for Tenant's Work, which shall include any amounts to be paid
by Tenant in excess of the Tenant Allowance. The disbursement of the Tenant's
Allowance and any additional funds due from Tenant shall be made through a
construction escrow ("Construction Escrow") established with Chicago Title
Insurance Company ("Escrowee"). The parties shall execute a standard form of
construction escrow agreement utilized by the Escrowee with such revisions
thereto as may be necessary to conform to the provisions hereof. The parties,
Tenant's Contractor and all subcontractors shall furnish to the Escrowee such
other documents, information and undertakings as may be reasonably requested by
the Escrowee to enable it to advise Landlord and Tenant, with respect to the
periodic disbursement made through the construction escrow, that all statements
and lien waivers are in proper form for the purpose of releasing and waiving any
and all rights to file mechanics lien claims against the Premises or any portion
thereof and that there are no liens of public record. Landlord shall fund the
Tenant's Allowance into the Construction Escrow periodically by the transfer of
funds upon approval of documents submitted in connection with each construction
draw and upon the Escrowee's determination, with respect to the periodic
disbursements made through the construction escrow, that it is prepared to
advise Landlord that all statements and lien waivers are in proper form for the
purpose of releasing and waiving any and all rights to file mechanics lien
claims against the Premises or any portion thereof and that there are no liens
of public record through the date of disbursement of funds.
All costs of Tenant's Work in excess of the Tenant's Allowance shall be
paid by Tenant and, if at any time during the course of completion of Tenant's
Work the total unpaid cost of completing Tenant's Work as indicated by any of
the sworn statements provided hereunder exceeds the balance of the Tenant's
Allowance, Landlord need not make further disbursements of Tenant's Allowance
until Tenant has deposited in the Construction Escrow the sum necessary, along
with the balance of the Tenant's Allowance, to make all available funds equal to
the unpaid cost of construction or has paid such excess costs directly. The
final payment for the Tenant's Work (inclusive of the entire Holdback) shall not
be made until the architect who prepared the Tenant's Plans shall have certified
to Landlord and Tenant that the Tenant's Work is substantially complete in
accordance with the Tenant's Plans, any applicable certificate of occupancy or
other governmental license or permit has been issued, all final waivers of lien
have been deposited with the Escrowee and the Escrowee is prepared to advise
Landlord that there are no liens of public record resulting from the Tenant's
Work and is prepared to issue a date-down endorsement to Landlord's then
existing Title Insurance Policy issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company free
of any exceptions relating to Tenant's Work. The payment for expenses incurred
in connection with the Construction Escrow and issuance of the Title Insurance
Policy date-down endorsement shall be paid from the Tenant's Allowance as an
element of the cost of Tenant's Work.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Lease as of the
date set forth above.

["Purchaser"] ["Lender"] proposes to [purchase the Property] [finance the
Property] and this Tenant Estoppel Certificate is to be made and delivered in
connection with that [purchase] [financing].
The undersigned Tenant under the above-referenced lease dated as of the
Lease Date between Landlord and Tenant ("Lease"), certifies, represents,
confirms and agrees in favor of [Purchaser] [Lender] the following:
1. The above-described Lease has not been cancelled, modified, assigned,
extended or amended and contains the entire agreement between Landlord and
Tenant except as follows:
2. Rent has been paid to _______________________________________. There
is no Prepaid Rent. The amount of the Security Deposit is as set forth above,
which is currently being held by Landlord.
3. Tenant took possession of the leased premises on the Date of
Possession, and commenced to pay rent on the Rent Commencement Date, in the
amount of the Monthly Base Rent, each payable in advance. Our current Annual
Base Rental Amount is as set forth above, payable in equal monthly installments,
subject to percentage rental, common area maintenance charges, escalation
charges and other charges in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
Lease, which as of the date hereof total the Monthly Deposit Amount, each
payable in equal monthly installments in advance. We are currently in occupancy
of the leased premises. No "discounts", "free rent", "discounted rent" or
"abatements of rent" have been agreed to or are in effect.
4. The Lease is for the Term set forth above and ending on the
Termination Date, and we have the Renewal Option(s) set forth above.
5. COMPLIANCE WITH SPACE LEASE AND GROUND LEASE. All of the terms,
--------------------------------------------
provisions, covenants and conditions contained in the Ground Leases, and in the
Space Lease (other than paragraphs 1, 2, 4, 7, 37, 39 (captioned "Option to
Lease"), Exhibits B, C and D, and the provisions of the Space Lease which
conflict directly with the provisions of this Sublease), are hereby made a part
of this Sublease, and Sublessee agrees to comply fully and faithfully with each
and every obligation of the Ground Leases and the Space Lease, as the same may
be amended from time to time, in each case as fully and faithfully as if
Sublessee were the "Tenant" under and as defined in the Space Lease. Sublessor
agrees to comply fully and faithfully with each and every obligation to the
Ground Leases and the Space Lease, as the same may be amended from time to time,
in each case as fully and faithfully as if Sublessor were the "Landlord" under
and as defined in the Space Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessee
shall not have the right to make any Alterations (as defined in the Space Lease)
without obtaining the prior written consent of Sublessor (which consent shall be
given or withheld in accordance with paragraph 10 of the Space Lease) and
Landlord. Sublessee further covenants and agrees not to do any act which will
result in a violation of any term of the Space Lease or the Ground Leases.
Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee for any default by Landlord under the
Space Lease, or by any party under the Ground Leases, and Sublessee shall not
make any claim upon Sublessor for any damages which may arise by reason of
Landlord's default under the Space Lease. Sublessor agrees that Sublessee shall
be entitled to receive all services and repairs to be provided by Landlord to
Sublessor under the Space Lease. Sublessor shall cooperate with Sublessee in
reasonable ways (so long as Sublessor does not incur any material out of pocket
costs in connection therewith) if Landlord fails to provide any such services or
repairs. Any condition resulting from a default by Landlord shall not constitute
as between Sublessor and Sublessee an eviction, actual or constructive, of
Sublessee and no such default shall excuse Sublessee from the performance or
observance of any of its obligations to be performed or observed under this
Sublease, or entitle Sublessee to receive any reduction in or abatement of the
rent provided for in this Sublease. In furtherance of the foregoing, Sublessee
hereby waives any cause of action and any right to bring any action against
Sublessor by reason of any act or omission of Landlord under the Space Lease.
6. The Lease is (a) in full force and effect, and (b) free from default
by both Landlord and Tenant; and we have no claims, liens, charges or credits
against Landlord or offsets against rent.
7. The undersigned has not assigned or sublet the Lease, nor does the
undersigned hold the Property under assignment or sublease.
8. There are no other agreements written or oral, between the undersigned
and Landlord with respect to the Lease and/or the leased premises and building.
Landlord has satisfied all commitments, arrangements or understandings made to
induce Tenant to enter into the Lease, and Landlord is not in any respect in
default in the performance of the terms and provisions of the Lease, nor is
there now any fact or condition which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would become such a default.
9. The leased premises are currently being used for the Use set forth
above.
10. Tenant is maintaining (free of default) all insurance policies that
the Lease requires Tenant to maintain.
11. Neither Landlord nor [Purchaser] [Lender] nor any of their respective
successor or assigns, has or will have any personal liability of any kind or
nature under or in connection with the Lease; and, in the event of a default by
Landlord or [Purchaser] [Lender] under the Lease, Tenant shall look solely to
Landlord's or [Purchaser's] [Lender's] interest in the building in which the
leased premises are located.
12. Tenant is not in any respect in default under the terms and provisions
of the Lease (nor is there now any fact or condition which, with notice or lapse
of time or both, would become such a default), and Tenant has not assigned,
transferred or hypothecated its interest under the Lease.
13. Tenant (i) does not have any option or preferential right to purchase
all or any part of the leased premises or all or any part of the building of
which the leased premises are a part; and (ii) does not have any right, title or
interest with respect to the leased premises other than as lessee under the
Lease.
14. We understand that [Purchaser] [Lender] is planning to [purchase]
[finance] the Property on which the leased premises is located to Purchaser, and
we agree to make all payments required under the Lease to [Purchaser] [Lender]
upon our receipt of notice from Landlord and/or [Purchaser] [Lender]. Further,

that if [Purchaser] [Lender] [purchases] [finances] the Property, [Purchaser]
[Lender] will do so in material reliance on this certificate; and (b) agrees
that the certifications and representations made herein shall survive such
acquisition.
