     The parties acknowledge that Tenant intends to use the leased premises for a financial institution with drive-through banking capabilities (herein referred to as “Intended Use”).

     Notwithstanding anything in this lease to the contrary, the obligation of Tenant pursuant to the terms of this lease is subject to Tenant satisfying each of the following within one hundred twenty (120) days after the full execution and delivery of this lease: (1) obtaining from the Village of Glenview, Illinois (herein referred to as “Village”), all necessary variations, site plan approvals, sign approvals and/or governmental approvals satisfactory to Tenant which will permit development of the leased premises in accordance with Tenant’s Intended Use; (2) obtaining or satisfying itself that it can obtain building permits, approvals, certificates and other authorizations from and agreements with such municipal and other public agencies and authorities as may, in Tenant’s judgment, be necessary or appropriate for the Intended Use of the leased premises; and (3) obtaining any and all approvals in writing from the Office of Banks and Real Estate of the State of Illinois so that Tenant may use the leased premises for Tenant’s Intended Use.

Extension of any of the above time periods for satisfaction of the applicable Approvals shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s right to terminate this lease as a result of Tenant’s ultimate failure to satisfy any of said Approvals. If Tenant, in its sole discretion, determines that it will be unable to satisfy any of the Approvals within the specified applicable time period (including any extension thereof as provided in the preceding sentence), Tenant may, at its option, elect to terminate this lease by notice given to Owner (as it may be so extended), and thereafter neither Owner nor Tenant shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder.

     In the event Tenant’s occupancy causes any increase of premium for the fire, boiler and/or casualty rates on the leased premises or any part thereof, above the rate for the least hazardous type of occupancy legally permitted in the leased premises, Tenant shall pay the additional premium on the fire, boiler and/or casualty insurance policies by reason thereof. Tenant also shall pay in such event, any additional premium on the rent insurance policy that may be carried by Owner for its protection against rent loss through fire. Bills for such additional premiums shall be rendered by Owner to Tenant at such times as Owner may elect, and shall be due, from, and payable to Tenant within ten (10) business days of receipt by Tenant, and the amount thereof shall be deemed to be, and be paid as, additional rent.

SECTION 9.03. Indemnification of Owner.

     Except to the extent of Owner’s gross negligence or misconduct, Tenant will indemnify and hold Owner harmless from all claims arising from or in connection with (i) the conduct or management by Tenant of the leased premises or of any business therein, or any work or thing whatsoever done, or any condition created in or about the leased premises by Tenant during the term of this lease; (ii) any negligence of Tenant or any of Tenant’s subtenants or licensees or the partners, directors, officers, agents, employees, invitees or contractors of Tenant or of Tenant’s subtenants or licensees; (iii) any accident, injury or damage occurring in or at the leased premises, and arising in connection with Tenant’s use of the leased premises; (iv) any breach or default by Tenant in the full and prompt payment of any amount due Owner under this lease and/or any breach, violation or nonperformance of any term, condition, covenant or other obligation of Tenant under this lease or any representation made by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations in connection with this lease; (v) all damages sustained by Owner as a result of any holdover by Tenant in the leased premises; (vi) any liens or encumbrances arising out of any work performed or materials furnished by or for Tenant, including any work Owner may have performed or caused to be performed for Tenant for which Tenant has not paid Owner; and (vii) commissions or other compensation or charges claimed by any broker or agent with respect to this lease by, through or under Tenant. In the event Owner, without fault on Owner’s part, is made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, then Tenant will protect and hold Owner harmless and will pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or paid by Owner in connection with such litigation. This section shall also apply to the same extent as above for the protection of Tenant with respect to Owner so that such section is hereby restated so that “Owner” is replaced with “Tenant” and “Tenant” is replaced with “Owner”.

SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

SECTION 10.01

     This lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are subject and subordinate (provided that the mortgagee expressly agrees in writing not to disturb Tenant’s possession as long as Tenant is not in default under this lease) to any deeds of trust, mortgages or other instruments of security, as well as to any ground leases or primary leases, that now or hereafter cover all or any part of the Shopping

Center, the land situated beneath the Shopping Center, or any interest of Owner therein, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof, and to any and all increases, renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of any of such deeds of trust, mortgages, instruments of security or leases. This provision is hereby declared by Owner and Tenant to be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to effect such subordination of this lease. Tenant shall, however, within 30 days of demand, at any time or times, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Owner any and all instruments and certificates that may be reasonably necessary or proper to confirm or evidence such subordination, provided the instrument expressly provides for an undertaking by the mortgagee not to disturb Tenant’s possession as long as Tenant is not in default under this lease. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, Tenant agrees that any such mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate any such deeds of trust, mortgages or other instruments of security to this lease on such terms and subject to such conditions as such mortgagee may deem appropriate in its discretion. Tenant further covenants and agrees within 30 days of demand by Owner’s mortgagee at any time, before or after the institution of any proceedings for the foreclosure of any such deeds of trust, mortgages or other instruments of security, or sale of the Shopping Center pursuant to any such deeds of trust, mortgages or other instruments of security, to attorn to such purchaser upon any such sale and to recognize such purchaser as Owner under this lease. The agreement of Tenant to attorn upon demand of Owner’s mortgagee contained in the immediately preceding sentence shall survive any such foreclosure sale or trustee’s sale. Tenant shall within 30 days of demand at any time or times, before or after any such foreclosure sale or trustee’s sale, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Owner’s mortgagee any and all instruments and certificates that may be reasonably necessary or proper to confirm or evidence such attornment.

ARTICLE XI

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

SECTION 11.01. Consent Required.

     Tenant will not assign this lease in whole or in part, nor sublet all or any part of the leased premises, without the prior written consent of Owner in each instance. The consent by Owner to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. If this lease be assigned, or if the leased premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Tenant’s employees or affiliates. Owner may, after a default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, under-tenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, under-tenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. Any excess collected shall be divided equally between Tenant and Owner. Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, Tenant shall remain fully liable on this lease and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease.

- 12 -


 

SECTION 11.02. Assignment and Subletting Without Consent.

     Notwithstanding the provision of Section 11.01 hereof, Tenant may, without Owner’s prior written consent and provided Tenant is not at such time in default hereunder, assign this lease or sublet the leased premises or any part thereof to any financial institution (1) that is controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, or (2) that has total assets and net worth equal to or greater than that of Tenant at the time of such proposed assignment or sublet, or (3) that acquires substantially all of the assets of Tenant and immediately after such acquisition has total assets and net worth equal to or greater than that of Tenant at the time of such acquisition. Tenant also may, without Owner’s prior written consent, assign this lease to any corporation resulting from the merger or consolidation of Tenant; provided, however, that (1) the total assets and net worth of such assignee after such consolidation or merger shall be equal to or more than that of Tenant immediately prior to such consolidation or merger; and (2) Tenant is not at such time in default hereunder.

No provision in this lease should be construed in any manner as permitting, consenting to or authorizing Tenant to violate requirements under the ADA and any provision of this lease which could arguably be construed as authorizing a violation of the ADA shall be interpreted in a manner which permits compliance with the ADA and is hereby amended to permit such compliance. To Owner’s knowledge, there is no asbestos or environmental hazardous material on the leased premises, and Owner shall be solely responsible for removing any such material discovered on the leased premises unless brought onto the leased premises by Tenant.

SECTION 14.01. Total or Partial Destruction.

     If the leased premises shall be damaged by fire, the elements, unavoidable accident or other casualty, but are not thereby rendered untenantable in whole or in part, Owner shall at its own expense cause such damage to be repaired, and the rent shall be abated as hereinafter provided. If by reason of such occurrence, the leased premises shall be rendered untenantable only in part, Owner shall at its own expense cause the damage to be repaired within not more than 180 days of such occurrence, and the fixed minimum rent and all other sums payable by Tenant to Owner pursuant to the provisions of this lease meanwhile shall be abated proportionately as to the portion of the leased premises rendered untenantable.

EMINENT DOMAIN

SECTION 15.01. Total Condemnation.

SECTION 15.02. Total Parking Area.

     If the whole of the common parking areas in the Shopping Center shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, then the term of this lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding unless Owner shall give notice to Tenant and take immediate steps to provide other parking facilities substantially equal to the previously existing parking areas in the amount required to be maintained hereunder and in all respects (including distance) and such substantially equal parking facilities shall be provided by Owner at its own expense within ninety (90) days from the date of acquisition. In the event that Owner shall provide such other substantially equal parking facilities, then this lease shall continue in full force and effect; otherwise, at Tenant’s option, this lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding. In any event, Tenant shall have no claim against Owner for the value of any unexpired term of this lease.

SECTION 15.03. Partial Condemnation.

     If any part of the leased premises shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, then in the event that such partial taking or condemnation shall render the leased premises unsuitable for the business of Tenant, then at Tenant’s option the term of this lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of title vesting in such proceeding and Tenant shall have no claim against Owner for the value of any unexpired term of this lease. In the event of a partial taking or condemnation which is not extensive enough to render the premises unsuitable for the business of Tenant, as mutually agreed upon by Owner and Tenant, then Owner shall promptly restore the leased premises to a condition comparable to its condition at the time prior to such condemnation less the portion lost in the taking, and this lease shall continue in full force and effect. Rent shall be equitably prorated as to any reduction in square footage of the leased premises.

SECTION 15.04. Partial Condemnation in Parking Area.

- 16 -


 

shall give notice to Tenant and take immediate steps toward restoring the number of spaces by providing substantially equal alternate parking, in which event this lease shall be unaffected and remain in full force and effect. In any event, Tenant shall have no claim against Owner for the value of any unexpired term of this lease.

SECTION 15.05. Owner’s Damages.

SECTION 15.06. Tenant’s Damages.

     Although all damages in the event of any condemnation are to belong to Owner whether such damages are awarded as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or to the fee of the leased premises, Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Owner, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in Tenant’s own right on account of any and all damages to Tenant’s business and Tenant’s trade fixtures and improvements by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or loss to which Tenant might be put in removing Tenant’s merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment.

SECTION 16.02. Right to Relet.

     Should owner elect to re-enter, as herein provided, or should it take possession of the leased premises pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may either terminate this lease or it may from time to time without terminating this lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the leased premises, and relet the leased premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Owner in its sole discretion may deem advisable; upon each such reletting all rentals received by Owner from such reletting shall be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Owner; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees and attorney’s fees and of costs of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by Owner and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If such rentals received from such reletting during any month be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Owner. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the leased premises by Owner shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination. Owner may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering the leased premises, reasonable attorney’s fees, and including the present value based on a discount rate equal to the prime rate of interest established by Bank One at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and charges equivalent to rent reserved in this lease for the remainder of the stated term over the then reasonable rental value of the leased premises for the remainder of the stated term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Owner.

WAIVER OF SUBROGATION RIGHTS

SECTION 22.01

     Subject to the conditions hereinafter specified in this Section and only to the extent that and so long as the same is permitted under the laws and regulations governing the writing of insurance within the State of Illinois with respect to the respective insurance that is to be carried by either Owner or Tenant covering losses arising out of the destruction or damage to the leased premises or its contents or to other portions of the Shopping Center or to Tenant’s occupancy and operation of the leased premises without invalidating or nullifying any such policy, or providing a defense to the applicable insurance carrier with respect to the coverage of any such policy, all such insurance carried by either Owner or Tenant shall provide for a waiver of rights of subrogation against Owner and Tenant, as the case may be, on the part of the insurance carrier. Unless such waivers contemplated by this sentence will invalidate, nullify, or provide a defense to coverage under any such insurance policy or are not obtainable for the reasons described in this Section, Owner and Tenant each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action against the other, its agents, officers, or employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the leased premises or the Shopping Center, or any improvements thereto, which loss or damage is covered by valid and collectible insurance policies, to the extent that such loss and damage is actually recovered under such insurance policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of Tenant to take out or maintain any insurance policy required under Article IX hereof shall be a defense to any claim asserted by Tenant against Owner by reason of any loss sustained by Tenant that would have been covered by any such required policy; the converse shall also apply to any claims by Owner against Tenant. The waivers set forth in this Section shall be in addition to, and not substitution for, any other waivers, indemnities or exclusions of liabilities as set forth in this lease.

For purposes of this lease, hazardous or toxic materials shall mean hazardous or toxic chemicals or any materials containing hazardous or toxic chemicals at levels or content which cause such materials to be classified as hazardous or toxic as then prescribed by the highest industry standards or by the then current levels or content as set from time to time by the US Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or the US, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) or as defined under 29 CFR 1910 or 29 CFR 1925 or other applicable governmental laws, rules or regulations.
