specification of the circumstances, shall be included in the resolution or ordinance supporting
and consenting to the Class 6B application. Such resolution or ordinance shall be filed with
the eligibility application. If the ordinance or resolution is that of a municipality, the approval

included with the Class 6B eligibility application filed with the Assessor; and

Exhibit "A"
Re: CF III 1001 Morse LLC
Class 6b Request for the property located at 1001 Morse, Elk Grove Village,
Illinois (the "Property")
Permanent Index No. 08-34-308-002-0000
The following constitute special circumstances for purposes of the Ordinance:
1. Under the current economic conditions, it is likely that there will not be a buyer for
the Property, financing to acquire the Property and to make the Property functional is difficult to
obtain and thus, it is likely to remain vacant indefinitely.
2. At the current market value, the real estate taxes for the Property at a 6b level
will be more than at 100% vacancy.
3. The tenant will be creating significant additional employment opportunities to the
community and residents of Cook County at a time of extremely high unemployment rates.
4. As a condition of entering into the Lease, the Property will be substantially
improved which will benefit the Property and the community, as a whole, including but not
limited to repaving the parking lot, replacing the roof and installing new heaters in the
warehouse.
