REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), is made and
entered into as of the 11th day of March, 1997, by and between the Village of Elk
Grove Village, Illinois, an Illinois municipal corporation located in Cook County, Illinois
(the ' Village"), and Elk Grove Town Center, L.L.C., an Illinois limited liability company
(the "Developer").
RECITALS
A. The Village has the authority to undertake the redevelopment of blighted
property within the Village pursuant to its home -rule authority, and specifically,
Ordinance No. 23-27 (the "Ordinance"). Further, The Village has the authority to use
tax increment financing to reimburse itself or third parties for certain eligible costs
related to such redevelopment pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation
Redevelopment Act, 65 ILCS 5/11 - 74.4-1 et seg. (the "Act").
B. Pursuant to the Ordinance, the Village authorized the preparation of a
study (the "Blight Study") of blighting conditions by Trkla, Pettigrew, Allen & Payne, Inc.
("TPAP") which was delivered on January, 1994, for an area generally described as
being bounded on the north by Biesterfield Road, Arlington Heights Road on the east,
the Village Grove Apartments on the south, and the Village Administration Building,
Police HDQ, Central Fire Station and Village Library campus on the west (the
"Redevelopment Area"). The Blight Study concluded that certain improvements within
the Redevelopment Project Area were in fact blighted and would not be redeveloped or
improved without Village intervention.
C. Pursuant to its home -rule authority, the Ordinance and the Blight Study, in
October, 1993, the Village adopted an ordinance declaring approximately 18.96 acres
C: W-DATA%ELKGROVE GREE3. DOC
03/1397 12 35 PM 12'.35 PM
of real property, a portion of which is legally described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the
"Property"), as being 'Blighted" and authorized the use of condemnation to acquire the
Property. On January 19, 1995, the Village filed suit condemning the Property with the
intention of facilitating private investment and redevelopment. On May 1, 1996, the
Village entered into an Agreed Order vesting fee simple title to the Property in the
Village.
D. Pursuant to the Act, the Village then authorized TPAP to prepare a
Redevelopment Plan dated October 31, 1996 (the 'Redevelopment Plan") for the
Redevelopment Area. The Redevelopment Plan concluded that the existing
improvements should be demolished, certain public improvements should be
constructed, and that but for tax increment financing, the Redevelopment Plan would
not be implemented.
E. The Village issued a request for proposals, and selected the Developer to
assist in implementing the Redevelopment Plan. The Developer and the Village have
agreed to work together to plan and construct the development of a retail and
commercial center, which is more fully described and defined in Paragraph 4.01 hereof,
and is referred to throughout this Agreement as the "Commercial Center." To facilitate
the development of the Commercial Center, and in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, the Village has agreed to convey title to the Property to the Developer,
subject to the terms and conditions contained herein. In turn, the Developer has
agreed to remove certain improvements remaining from the defunct shopping center
currently located on the Property and to construct certain public improvements and
140,000 to 159,000 square feet of new buildings and adjacent parking areas on
Property. The redevelopment of the Property will eliminate the existing blight identified
C:V.1-DATAIELKGR0VENGREE3.D0C
M13R7 12:35 PM
2
in both the Blight Study and the Redevelopment Plan, and will generate additional tax
revenue for the Village and other taxing districts_
F. The redevelopment of the Property will include certain aesthetic
enhancements which the Developer has agreed to finance in order to insure the
compatibility of the redevelopment of the Property with the surrounding areas, and the
long term viability of the new improvements. In consideration for the Developer
financing and constructing these upgraded enhancements, the Village has agreed to
finance certain improvements (the "Village Green Improvements") to Village owned
public property (the "Village Green") which is contiguous to the Property. The Village
has also agreed to finance certain TIF Redevelopment Project Costs, as that term is
defined in the Act (the "TIF Improvements"). The Commercial Center, the TIF
Improvements and the Village Green Improvements will be built, or caused to be built,
by Developer in substantial conformity with the Plans, as that term is hereinafter
defined. The Commercial Center, the TIF Improvements and the Village Green
Improvements are collectively referred to herein as and constitute the 'Redevelopment
Project."
G. In accordance with the Act and the Ordinance, the Village held and
conducted a public hearing with respect to the Redevelopment Plan at a meeting of the
Village President and the Village Board (the "Corporate Authorities") on December 19,
1996. The Corporate Authorities of the Village, after giving all notices required by law
and after conducting all public hearings required by law, adopted Ordinance No. 2535
approving the Redevelopment Plan and Project, finding that but for the adoption of the
Redevelopment Plan, the construction of the Redevelopment Project would not occur,
and Resolution No. 12-97 authorizing the execution of this Agreement.

H. This Agreement has been submitted to the Corporate Authorities of the
Village for consideration and review, and the Corporate Authorities have taken all
actions required to be taken prior to the execution of this Agreement in order to make
the same binding upon it according to its terms.
I. The Corporate Authorities of the Village, after due and careful
consideration, have concluded that the development of the Redevelopment Project
Area as provided for herein and in the Redevelopment Plan will further the growth of
the Village, facilitate the redevelopment of the entire Redevelopment Project Area,
improve the environment of the Village, increase the assessed valuation of the real
estate situated within the Village, foster increased economic activity within the Village,
increase employment opportunities within the Village, enable the Village to direct the
development of the Redevelopment Project Area, and otherwise be in the best interests
of the Village by furthering the health, safety, and welfare of its residents and tax-
payers.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
Parties do hereby agree as follows:

Each Party shall pay its usual and customary fees associated with such Closing. At
Closing, the Village shall not give Developer a credit for real estate taxes, but the
Parties agree to prorate the real estate taxes upon the issuance of the final 1996 taxes
(payable in 1997) and upon the issuance of the final 1997 tax bill (payable in 1998).
The Parties further agree to prorate the taxes (or reprorate if necessary) in the event
the Village obtains a Certificate of Error for the Property. At Closing, the Village shall
give Developer a credit for the cost of obtaining an ALTA survey for the Property, but
said credit shall not exceed Six Thousand Dollars ($6,000.00).
3.06 Final Purchase Price. Developer has represented to the Village that the actual
purchase price it can pay for the Property will be based on the final gross square
footage leased to users, the rental income received, and the actual costs of
construction. The Village has therefore agreed to convey the Property for the Base
Purchase Price, and to recompute the Final Purchase Price once the Developer has
finalized its costs, income and the size of the Commercial Center. Developer has
further represented to the Village that it would require a return on cash invested of not
less than 11 %D per year.
Accordingly, the Parties hereby agree that within 60 days of completion of the
Commercial Center, the Developer shall submit to the Village a final projected Price by
cash -on -cash return. The cash -on -cash return shall be computed using the actual
certified construction costs of the Commercial Center, less any costs paid by the
Village using TIF. To the extent that the return depicted in the cash -on -cash return
C W-DATAIELKGROVEWGREE3.DOC
03/1397 12.35 PM
10
exceeds 11%, Developer and Village shall compute the Village continuing participation
as follows:
1. dividing the actual cash return in excess of 11 % on a 50-50
basis; 50% would be allocated to the Developer and 50% to the Village;
2. this cash payment would be paid to the Village on an annual
basis. The payment shall be made within 90 days of the calendar year
end and shall be paid for a period of twenty (20) years or until Developer
sells the Commercial Center, whichever occurs first.
3. Upon sale of the Commercial Center, Developer shall notify
Village and certify (including calculations) the cap rate attendant to the
sale.
4. Developer shall pay to the Village at the closing of the sale of
the Commercial Center an amount equal to the amount most recently paid
in the previous year divided by the cap rate from subparagraph 3 of this
Paragraph 3.06, less any closing costs. However, closing costs shall not
include any fees or commissions paid to Developer or any related entities.
Developer shall deliver to the Village the actual construction costs for the Commercial
Center, certified by the Developer and its general contractor, and copies of all leases
and pad sale agreements. The Village, or Village's consultants selected in the Village's
sole discretion, shall be entitled to audit any records or books of the Developer in
W: LKGROVEUGRM DOC
03JI"7 < M PM
11
accordance with Paragraph 5.03 of this Agreement. In no event shall Developer be
entitled to any reduction of the Base Purchase Price regardless of the return indicated
in the cash -on -cash return.
3.07 Condition of Property. With the exception of the existing Walgreen store and
the existing Grove Theater Building, the Village hereby agrees to demolish the existing
structures on the Property and shall deliver the Property to the Developer with only the
existing slabs, parking lots, light pole bases and sidewalks still located on the Property.
The Developer agrees to remove all remaining improvements in accordance with the
Plans, Village Codes and this Agreement. The Village has entered into an agreement
with M&R Wrecking, pursuant to which M&R will demolish the existing Walgreen
building for Twenty -Six Thousand Dollars ($26,000.00). The Village will assign the
M&R agreement to the Developer, and Developer will cause the Walgreen building to
be demolished. The Village hereby agrees to reimburse Developer for said demolition
in an amount not to exceed $26,000.00. If for any reason Developer is unable to cause
the demolition of the Walgreen building for $26,000.00 or less, the Village can elect to
either reimburse the Developer for the greater amount of demolition, or the Village may
enter the Property and complete the demolition. In the event the Village demolishes
the Walgreen building, Developer shall deliver a written license to the Village, giving
the Village the right to enter onto the Property and demolish said structures. The
Village shall indemnify Developer from any claim or loss resulting from the Village's
acts.

knowledge, as of the date of Closing, there will be no substances or conditions other
than those disclosed in the Environmental Report, in or on the Property which may
support a claim or cause of action under RCRA. CERCLA or any other federal, state or
local environmental statutes, regulations, ordinances or other environmental regulatory
requirements. The Developer has received and examined the Environmental Reports.
B. There are certain contaminated soils as disclosed in the Environmental Reports
which as of the date of this Agreement are located on the Property. The Parties hereto
agree that in order to remediate these soil conditions as expeditiously and effectively
as possible, immediately upon the execution of this Agreement, the Developer shall
enter into a Soil Remediation Agreement, pursuant to which Developer, as an agent for
the Village and at the sole expense of the Village, shall assume the responsibility for
the remediation of the contaminated soils on the Property. The Developer shall hire an
environmental consultant approved by the Village, and Developer shall remediate the
soil condition to the satisfaction of the consultant.

A. Developer and Village (as to its Tract only) shall maintain or cause to be maintained in full
force and effect Commercial General Liability Insurance with a combined single limit of liability of
not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) for bodily or personal injury or death, and for
property damage, arising out of any one occurrence. The Library shall obtain similar coverage
with a liability limit of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00). The insurance limit in
this Paragraph 3 shall not limit any Party's rights or obligations of indemnity under the provisions
of Paragraph 5 hereof. In addition to the foregoing, during any periods that Developer allows
alcoholic beverages to be sold for consumption on or at the Developer Tract, Developer shall, in
addition to all other insurance which Developer is required to procure pursuant hereto, obtain and
maintain, or cause its tenants to obtain and maintain, in full force "dram shop" or liquor liability insurance
coverage in an amount of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) naming the Village, Library, and
such other parties as Village or Library may designate, as additional insureds. In the event that any
government or governmental agency having jurisdiction shall require "dram shop" insurance in relation
to the sale of packaged alcoholic beverages, Developer shall, during any periods that Developer allows
alcoholic beverages to be sold at, from or on the Developer Tract, obtain and maintain the aforesaid
"dram shop' or liquor liability insurance coverage. Said insurance shall comply with all other insurance
requirements set forth in this REA.
B. All insurance required by this Section 3 shall be procured from companies authorized to
do business in the State of Illinois and shall be rated by Best's Insurance Reports not less than
A/X. All insurance may be provided under (i) an individual policy covering this location, (ii) a
blanket policy or policies which includes other liabilities, properties and locations of such Party;
provided, however, that if such blanket commercial general liability insurance policy or policies
contain a general policy aggregate of less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) in
Constant Dollars, then such insuring Party shall also maintain excess liability coverage necessary
to establish a total liability insurance limit of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) in Constant
Dollars, or (iii) a combination of any of the foregoing insurance programs. To the extent any
deductible is permitted or allowed as a part of any insurance policy carried by a Party in
compliance with this Section 3, such Party shall be deemed to be covering the amount thereof
under an informal plan of self-insurance; provided, however, that in no event shall any deductible
exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) in Constant Dollars. Each Party agrees to furnish to
any other Party requesting the same, a certificate(s) of insurance reasonably satisfactory to such
requesting Party, evidencing that the insurance required to be carried by such Party is in full force
and effect.
"Constant Dollars" means the value at the applicable point in time of the dollars to which such
phrase refers. An adjustment shall occur on January 1 of the sixth calendar year following the
date of this REA, and thereafter at five (5) year intervals. Constant Dollars shall be determined by
multiplying the dollar amount to be adjusted by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Current
Index Number and the denominator of which is the Base Index Number. The "Base Index
Number" shall be the level of the Index for the month during which the REA is dated; the "Current
Index Number" shall be the level of the Index for the month of September of the year preceding
the adjustment year; the "Index" shall be the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, U.S.
I:\R-DATA\ELKGREA6. DOGrJ 3/13/97
City Average, All items published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics (base year 1982-94=100), or any successor index thereto as hereinafter provided. If
publication of the Index is discontinued, or if the basis of calculating the Index is materially
changed, then the parties shall substitute for the Index comparable statistics as computed by an
agency of the United States Government or, if none, by a substantial and responsible periodical or
publication of recognized authority most closely approximating the result which would have been
achieved by the Index.
The insurance required pursuant to this Section 3 shall include the following provisions:
(i) shall provide that the policy may not be canceled or reduced in amount or
coverage below the requirements of this REA, without at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice by the insurer to each insured and to each additional insured;
(ii) shall provide for severability of interests;
(iii) shall provide that each of the other Parties to this REA shall be named as
"additional insureds" in the respective insurance policies of each Party.
(iv) shall provide that an act or omission of one of the insureds or additional insureds
which would void or otherwise reduce coverage, shall not reduce or void the coverage as
to the other insureds; and
(v) shall provide for contractual liability coverage with respect to the indemnity
obligation set forth herein.
4. Construction.
A. Village shall cause to be constructed the Plaza Area.
B. Developer shall construct the retail areas, parking areas, landscaping, sidewalks and other
improvements to be located on the Developer Tract as shown on Exhibit D.
C. Each of the Parties hereto, subject to the provisions of subsection 4E below, hereby grant
and convey to the other Parties and to their respective contractors, materialmen and laborers, a
temporary license for access and passage over and across the parking areas of their respective
Plaza Areas, as shall be reasonably necessary for the construction referred to above, provided,
however, that such license shall be in effect only during periods when actual construction and/or
maintenance is being performed and provided further that the use of such license shall not
unreasonably interfere with the use and operation of the individual Tracts by others and such
license shall not be in effect during the months of October through December, of any year. Prior
to exercising the rights granted herein, Developer shall first provide Village with engineering,
architectural and construction plans describing the area affected and work to be performed, and
shall furnish a certificate of insurance showing that its contractor has obtained insurance.
Developer shall give Village and Library at least ten (10) days' prior written notice before
commencing such work. Developer shall promptly pay all costs and expenses associated with the
work to be performed, shall diligently complete such work as quickly as possible, and shall
promptly clean the area, and restore and/or repair the affected portion of the Village Tract, or
Library Tract, as the case may be, to a condition which is equal to or better than the condition
which existed prior to the commencement of such work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event a material dispute exists between the contractors, laborers, suppliers and/or others
connected with construction activities, Village and Library shall have the right to prohibit the
contractors, laborers, suppliers and/or others working for Developer from using the area on its
Tract.
IAR-DATM£LKGR£A6.DOC 6 3(13/97
D. Any and all work performed pursuant to this REA shall be so performed pursuant to all
applicable codes and insurance requirements. In the event that any such codes, insurance
requirements or the Redevelopment Agreement (as hereinafter defined) shall require a stricter or
higher standard, or additional documentation or approvals than that required pursuant to this REA,
such stricter or higher standard, or additional requirements, as the case may be, shall control.
E. (i) Developer agrees that its construction activities and any activities of its tenants,
licensees, concessionaires or other occupants shall not unreasonably interfere with the
use, occupancy or enjoyment of any part of the Village Tract or Library Tract.
(ii) Developer acknowledges that the construction work to be performed by or on
behalf of the Village will interfere or deny the use of the parking areas located on the
Developer Tract. The Village and the Developer shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to minimize such interference or denial. The Village will not, in the course of the
construction work to be performed by or on behalf of the Village, unreasonably interfere
with the use, occupancy or enjoyment of the parking area as located on the Library Tract.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained herein,
Developer and the Village shall not permit any construction traffic within their respective
control to enter the parking area as depicted on Exhibit D located on the Library Tract
without the prior written approval of the Library.
F. The Developer releases the Village and Library from, and agrees that the Village and
Library shall not be liable for, and indemnifies the Village and Library against all liabilities, losses,
damages (including reasonable attorney's fees), causes of action, suits, claims, costs and
expenses, demands and judgments of any nature imposed upon or asserted against the Village or
Library on account of: (i) any loss or damage to property or injury to or death of or loss by any
person that may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to the acquisition and
construction of the Redevelopment Project; (ii) any action arising under the construction contracts
related to the Redevelopment Project or any related document, or arising from any act or failure to
act by the Developer, or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees; (iii)
violation of any law, ordinance or regulation affecting the ownership, occupancy or use of the
Redevelopment Project by the Developer or its agents; (iv) any claim or action or proceeding with
respect to the matters set forth in subparagraphs (i), (ii), and (iii) above brought thereon. Nothing
contained herein shall be construed as an obligation of the Developer to indemnify the Village or
Library for their negligent acts.
In case any action or proceeding is brought against the Village or Library in respect of which
indemnity may be sought hereunder, the Village or Library, as the case may be, shall give notice
of that action or proceeding to the Developer, and the Developer upon receipt of that notice shall
have the obligation and the right to assume the defense of the action or proceeding; provided, that
failure of the Village or Library to give that notice shall not relieve the Developer from any of its
obligations- under this Paragraph unless that failure prejudices the defense of the action or
proceeding by the Developer. At its own expense, the Village or Library may employ separate
legal counsel and participate in the defense. The Developer shall not be liable for any settlement
without its consent.
The indemnification set forth above is intended to and shall include the indemnification of all

exceptions which are not Permitted Encumbrances.
VI. Prior to the final disbursement of the funds hereunder, it is a requirement
of this escrow that Near North be prepared to furnish its final title
insurance policy with mechanics lien coverage, covering the date of the
final disbursement, in the amount of the total amount disbursed by the
Bank, and conforming to the requirements this Agreement. With respect
to the condition of title, the liability of the Escrowee in making any
disbursements in reliance upon the title evidence referred to above shall
not extend to the determination of whether or not it is acceptable to the
Bank, the furnishing of funds for disbursement being considered the
acceptance of title as so reported.
VII. If at any time during the course of construction the total of the unpaid
disclosed cost of construction indicated by the column totals on the
General Contractor's sworn statement exceeds the amount of the
undisbursed mortgage proceeds as calculated by subtracting the total
amount of liability taken on the endorsements from the face amount of the
mortgage, the Escrowee need not make further disbursements under the
terms of this escrow until the Owner has deposited in this escrow the sum
necessary to make the available funds equal to the unpaid disclosed cost
of construction, or unless specifically directed to do so by the Bank. Also,
if the Escrowee discovers a misstatement in an affidavit furnished by the
General Contractor or the Owner, it may stop disbursement until the
misstatement has been corrected. The Escrowee has no liability
hereunder to the Owner relating to protection against mechanic's lien
claims.
VIII. The functions and duties assumed by the Escrowee include only those
described in this agreement, and the escrowee is not obligated to act
except in accordance with the terms and conditions of this escrow. The
Escrowee does not insure that the building will be completed, nor does it
insure that the building, when completed, will be in accordance with plans
and specifications, nor that sufficient funds will be available for
completion, nor does it make the certifications of the Inspector its own,
nor does it assume any liability for same other than procurement as one
of the conditions precedent to each disbursement.
IX. Bill all title and escrow charges to the Owner at the address listed above.
Escrow fees are payable when billed. If escrow fees are not paid within 30
days of billing, the Escrowee may cease making any further
disbursements until escrow fees have been paid
An Annual Maintenance Fee, as determined by the then current rate
schedule, will commence on the date of the execution of this Agreement
and may be deducted from the funds on deposit
X. General Conditions:
At any time prior to its commencement of disbursement of funds
hereunder, the Escrowee reserves the right to decline commencement of
disbursement of funds if Near North Title declines any risk offered for
insurance hereunder, whereupon the Escrowee shall return to the Bank
any documents in its possession relating to such loan and the funds
received by it. Commencement of disbursement makes this agreement
effective as to all funds received and disbursed on the construction in
question.
Where, after the first disbursement, a further title search reveals a
subsequently arising exception over which Near North Title is unwilling to
insure, the Escrowee will notify the Bank and may discontinue
disbursement until the exception has been disposed of to the satisfaction
of the Bank. A mechanics lien claim over which Near North Title is
required to insure hereunder does not warrant a discontinuance of
disbursement.
The Escrowee has no liability for loss caused by an error in the
certification furnished it hereunder as to work in place.
The Escrowee shall not be responsible for any loss of documents or funds
while such documents or funds are not in its custody. Documents or funds
deposited in the United States mail shall not be construed as being in
custody of the Escrowee.
In the event of default as, declared by the Bank and/or foreclosure by the
Bank, the Escrowee shall have the right to discontinue further
disbursements under this Agreement.
Deposits made pursuant to these instructions may be invested on behalf
of any party or parties hereto; provided, that any direction to the
Escrowee for such investment shall be expressed in writing and contain
the -consent of all other parties to this Agreement, and also provided that
the Escrowee is in receipt of the taxpayer identification number and
investment forms as required. The Escrowee will, upon request, furnish
information concerning its procedures and fee schedules for investment.
Except as to deposits of funds for which the Escrowee has received
express written direction concerning investment or other handling, the
parties hereto agree that the Escrowee shall be under no duty to invest or
reinvest any deposits at any time held by it hereunder; and, further, that
the Escrowee may commingle such deposits with other deposits or with its
own funds in the manner provided for the administration of funds under
Section 3 of the Illinois Banking and Finance Act (Ch. 17, Par 1555, III.
Rev. Stat., and may use any part or all such funds for its own benefit
without obligation to any party for interest or earnings derived thereby, if
any. However, nothing herein shall diminish the Escrowee's obligation to
apply the full amount of the deposits in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
In the event the Escrowee is requested to invest deposits hereunder, the
Escrowee is not to be held responsible for any loss of principal or interest
which may be incurred as a result of making the investments or
redeeming said investment for the purposes of this escrow.
XI. The undersigned agree that this Agreement is not intended by any of the
undersigned to give any benefits, rights, privileges, actions or remedies to
any person, partnership, firm or corporation other than the Escrowee, the
Bank and the Owner as a third party beneficiary or otherwise under any
theory of law.
XII. This Agreement shall govern the performance of the Escrowee under this
escrow. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the
provisions of this Agreement shall not supersede the terms of that certain
Construction Loan Agreement dated , by and
among the Bank and others, and as between
the Bank and the Owner in the event of any conflict between the
provisions of such Construction Loan Agreement and the provisions of
this Agreement, the provisions of such Construction Loan Agreement
shall control.
XIII. This Agreement shall govern the performance of the Escrowee under this
escrow. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the
provisions of this Agreement shall not supersede the terms of that certain
Redevelopment Agreement date March 11, 1997, by and between the
Village and Owner, and as between the Village and the Owner in the
event of any conflict between the provisions of such Redevelopment
Agreement and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of such

Constant Dollars, then such insuring Party shall also maintain excess liability coverage necessary
to establish a total liability insurance limit of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) in Constant
Dollars, or (iii) a combination of any of the foregoing insurance programs. To the extent any
deductible is permitted or allowed as a part of any insurance policy carried by a Party in
compliance with this Section 3, such Party shall be deemed to be covering the amount thereof
under an informal plan of self-insurance; provided, however, that in no event shall any deductible
exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) in Constant Dollars. Each Party agrees to furnish to
any other Party requesting the same, a certificate(s) of insurance reasonably satisfactory to such
requesting Party, evidencing that the insurance required to be carried by such Party is in full force

Number" shall be the level of the Index for the month during which the REA is dated; the "Current
Index Number shall be the level of the Index for the month of September of the year preceding

Statistics (base year 1982-94=100), or any successor index thereto as hereinafter provided. If
publication of the Index is discontinued, or if the basis of calculating the Index is materially
changed, then the parties shall substitute for the Index comparable statistics as computed by an
agency of the United States Government or, if none, by a substantial and responsible periodical or
publication of recognized authority most closely approximating the result which would have been
achieved by the Index.
The insurance required pursuant to this Section 3 shall include the following provisions:
(i) shall provide that the policy may not be canceled or reduced in amount or
coverage below the requirements of this REA, without at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice by the insurer to each insured and to each additional insured;
(ii) shall provide for severability of interests;
(iii) shall provide that each of the other Parties to this REA shall be named as
"additional insureds" in the respective insurance policies of each Party.
(iv) shall provide that an act or omission of one of the insureds or additional insureds
which would void or otherwise reduce coverage, shall not reduce or void the coverage as
to the other insureds; and
(v) shall provide for contractual liability coverage with respect to the indemnity
obligation set forth herein.

Library Tract, as the case may be, to a condition which tis equal to or better than the condition
which existed prior to the commencement of such work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event a material dispute exists between the contractors, laborers, suppliers and/or others
connected with construction activities, Village and Library shall have the right to prohibit the
contractors, laborers, suppliers and/or others working for Developer from using the area on its
Tract.
I:Vt-DATAIELKGREA6.13OC 6 9/1387
D. Any and all work performed pursuant to this REA shall be so performed pursuant to all
applicable codes and insurance requirements. In the event that any such codes, insurance
requirements or the Redevelopment Agreement (as hereinafter defined) shall require a stricter or
higher standard, or additional documentation or approvals than that required pursuant to this REA,
such stricter or higher standard, or additional requirements, as the case may be, shall control.
E. (i) Developer agrees that its construction activities and any activities of its tenants,
licensees, concessionaires or other occupants shall not unreasonably interfere with the
use, occupancy or enjoyment of any part of the Village Tract or Library Tract.
(ii) Developer acknowledges that the construction work to be performed by or on
behalf of the Village will interfere or deny the use of the parking areas located on the
Developer Tract. The Village and the Developer shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to minimize such interference or denial. The Village will not, in the course of the
construction work to be performed by or on behalf of the Village, unreasonably interfere
with the use, occupancy or enjoyment of the parking area as located on the Library Tract.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained herein,
Developer and the Village shall not permit any construction traffic within their respective
control to enter the packing area as depicted on Exhibit D located on the Library Tract
without the prior written approval of the Library.
F. The Developer releases the Village and Library from, and agrees that the Village and
Library shall not be liable for, and indemnifies the Village and Library against all liabilities, losses,
damages pncluding reasonable attorney's fees), causes of action, suits, claims, costs and
expenses, demands and judgments of any nature imposed upon or asserted against the Village or
Library on account of: (i) any loss or damage to property or injury to or death of or loss by any
person that may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to the acquisition and
construction of the Redevelopment Project; (ii) any action arising under the construction contracts
related to the Redevelopment Project or any related document, or arising from any act or failure to
act by the Developer, or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees; (iii)
violation of any law, ordinance or regulation affecting the ownership, occupancy or use of the
Redevelopment Project by the Developer or its agents; (iv) any claim or action or proceeding with
respect to the matters set forth in subparagraphs (i), (ii), and (iii) above brought thereon. Nothing
contained herein shall be construed as an obligation of the Developer to indemnify the Village or
Library for their negligent acts.
In case any action or proceeding is brought against the Village or Library in respect of which
indemnity may be sought hereunder, the Village or Library, as the case may be, shall give notice
of that action or proceeding to the Developer, and the Developer upon receipt of that notice shall
have the obligation and the right to assume the defense of the action or proceeding; provided, that
failure of the Village or Library to give that notice shall not relieve the Developer from any of its
obligations -under this Paragraph unless that failure prejudices the defense of the action or
proceeding by the Developer. At its own expense, the Village or Library may employ separate
legal counsel and participate in the defense. The Developer shall not be liable for any settlement
without its consent.
The indemnification set forth above is intended to and shall include the indemnification of all
elected officials, directors, officers, attorneys, accountantsrfinancial advisors, staff and employees
of the Village and Library. That indemnification is intended to and shall be enforceable by the
Village and Library to the full extent permitted by law.
G. Developer agrees that the foregoing construction activities and all work and improvements
shall be performed in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, and
ordinances of the city, county, state, and federal government, or any department or agency
11R-0ATAIELKGREM DOC % 3/1397
thereof, including but not limited to the Redevelopment Agreement. All construction shall utilize
new materials, and shall be performed in a good, safe, workmanlike manner.
5. Building Improvements. Provided that the areas identified as Retail B and Retail C on
Exhibit D are not vacant for more than twelve (12) consecutive months and while occupied are open and
occupied by Long Term Tenants (as hereinafter defined), the Village hereby agrees that the fountain shall
remain in operation (as seasonally permitted). For purposes of this Section 5, "Long Term Tenant's" are
defined as any retail tenant having a lease term of not less than twelve (12) months in duration.
6. Remedies and Default.
A. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default and
breach of this REA by the nonperforming Party (the "Defaulting Party"): the failure to observe or
perform any of the covenants, conditions or obligations of this REA within thirty (30) days after the
issuance of a notice by another Party (the "Non -Defaulting Party") specifying the nature of the
default claimed, unless such default cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period,
in which event a default shall not be deemed to have occurred, so long as the party commences to
cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the cure to completion
as promptly as reasonably possible, provided however that any rights to remove obstructions shall
be governed by the provisions of Section 1B hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in
the event a shorter cure period is specified elsewhere in this REA, such shorter cure period shall
control.
B. After the expiration of the thirty (30) day cure period set forth in Section 6A above, if the
Defaulting Party is the Developer, any Non -Defaulting Party shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure such default by the payment of money or the performance of some other actied
for the account of and at the expense of the Developer/Defaulting Party on no less than ten (10)
days prior notice to the Developer/Defaulting Party (unless such default is cured within such ten
(10) day period); provided, however, that in the event the default shall constitute an emergency
condition, the Non -Defaulting Party, acting in good faith, shall have the right to cure such default
upon such advance notice as is reasonably possible under the circumstances or, if necessary,
without advance notice, so long as notice is given as soon as possible thereafter. To effectuate
any such cure, the Non -Defaulting Party shall have the right to enter upon the Developer Tract
(but not into any building) to perform any necessary work or fumish any necessary materials or
services to cure the default of the Developer/Defaulting Party. Each Party shall be responsible for
the default of its Occupants. In the event that any Non -Defaulting Party shall cure a default, the
Developer/Defaulting Party shall reimburse the Non -Defaulting Party for all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with such curative action, plus interest as provided herein, within ten (10)
days of receipt of demand, together with reasonable documentation supporting the expenditures
made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Defaulting
Party is either the Village or Library, with the exception of the plowing of the Biesterfield Driveway,
Development shall only have the right to cure such default which is curable by the payment of
money, Developer acknowledging that it has no right to perform or enter the Village or Library
Tracts for the purpose of performing any of the obligations of either the Village or Library, the
same being municipal properties. Developer's sole and exclusive remedy for any other default of
either the Village or Library shall be specific performance.
C. No waiver by any Party of any default under this REA shall be effective or binding on such
Party unless made in writing by such Party and no such waiver shall be implied from any omission
by a Party to take action in respect to such default. No express written waiver of any default shall
affect any other default or cover any other period of time other than any default and/or period of
time specified in such express waiver. One or more written waivers or any default under any
provision of this REA shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default in the
performance of the same provision or any other term or provision contained in this RFA.
MR-DATAWLKGREA&DOC 8 3/13.97
D. Each Non -Defaulting Party shall have the right to prosecute any proceedings at law or in
equity against any Defaulting Party hereto or any other person violating or attempting to violate or
defaulting upon any of the provisions contained in this REA, and to recover damages for any such
violation or default. Such proceeding shall include the right to restrain by injunction any violation
or threatened violation by another of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this REA, or to
obtain a decree to compel performance of any such terms, covenants or conditions, it being
agreed that the remedy at law for a breach of any such term, covenant, or condition (except those,
if any, requiring the payment of a liquidated sum) is not adequate. All of the remedies permitted
or available to a Party under this REA or at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not
alternative, and invocation of any such right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver or election of
remedies with respect to any other permitted or available right or remedy.
7. Notices. All notices, demands and requests (collectively the "notice") required or
permitted to be given under this REA must be in writing, sent to each party, and shall be deemed to have
been given as of the date such notice is (i) delivered to each Party, (ii) delivered to the then current
address of each Party, or (iii) rejected at the then current address of any Party, provided such notice was
sent prepaid. The initial addresses of the Parties shall be:

counterpart.
10. Not a Public Dedication. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to be a gift or
dedication of any Tract or portion thereof to the general public, or for any public use or purpose
whatsoever. Except as herein specifically provided, no right, privileges or immunities of any Party hereto
shall inure to the benefit of any third -party person, nor shall any third -party person be deemed to be a
beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein.
11. Amendments and Estoppels. This REA may be amended only by a written agreement
signed by all of the then current owners of the Tracts and shall be effective only when recorded in the
county and state where the Tracts are located. No consent to the amendment of this REA shall ever be
required of any occupant or person other than an owner, nor shall any occupant or person other than the
Parties have any right to enforce any of the provisions hereof, except as specifically permitted by the
terms of this REA. Each Party shall at any time and from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days
prior written notice from any other Party execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting Party a
statement in writing (a) certifying that this REA is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified,
stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this REA, as so modified, is in full force and
effect) and (b) acknowledging that there are not, to the requested Party's knowledge, any uncured defaults
on the part of the requesting Party hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such
statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, tenant, subtenant, assignee, or
encumbrancer of a Tract. The requested Party's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be
conclusive upon such requested Party (i) that this REA is in full force and effect, without modification
except as may be represented by the requesting Party and (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in the
requesting Party's performance.
r
12. Mitigation of Damages. In all situations arising out of this REA, all Parties shall attempt

this REA shall entitle any Party to cancel, rescind or otherwise terminate this REA.
1AR-DATMELKGREA&DOC 10 3n397
14. Time. Time is of the essence of this REA.
15. No Waiver. The failure of any party to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies which that Party
may have hereunder, at law or in equity and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or
default in any of such terms, covenants or conditions.
16. Severability. Invalidation of any of the provisions contained in this REA, or of the
application thereof to any person by judgment or court order shall in no way affect any of the other
provisions hereof or the application thereof to any other person and the same shall remain in full force and
effect.
17. Negation of Partnership. None of the terms or provisions of this REA shall be deemed
to create a partnership between or among the Parties in their respective businesses or otherwise, nor shall
it cause them to be considered joint venturers or members of any joint enterprise. No Party shall have the
right to act as an agent for another Party, unless expressly authorized to do so herein or by separate
written instrument signed by the Party to be charged.
18. Term of this REA. This REA shall be effective upon recordation and shall continue in full
force and effect until 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2050. However, the easement to the Developer for the

maintenance and use of the Plaza shall survive this document. Except as specifically set forth elsewhere
in this Agreement, upon termination of this REA, all rights and privileges derived from and all duties and
obligations created and imposed by the provisions of this REA, shall terminate and have no further force
or effect; provided however, that the termination of this REA shall not limit or affect any remedy at law or
in equity that a Party may have against any other Party with respect to any liability or obligation arising or
to be performed under this REA prior to the date of such termination.
19. Subordination. Developer shall obtain and deliver to Village, simultaneously with the
execution hereof, in recordable form, an agreement with any present mortgagee, trustee under any deed
of trust, or other party with an interest in the Developer Tract, setting forth that the rights of such
mortgagee, trustee or other party are subordinate and subject to this REA.
20. Delegation. Nothing in this REA shall be deemed to prohibit the allocation or delegation
of responsibilities and/or obligations pursuant to separate agreements between or among Parties and their
respective occupants, provided however, the Party shall remain responsible and liable for the performance
of such obligations, and in such event the person to whom such responsibility or obligation is delegated
shall be entitled to enforce such responsibilities and obligations as set forth in this REA, and in the case of
the Self Help Right referred to In Section 1(B), above, without further consent of the Parties hereto.
