Definition of Event of Default. Each of the following shall be deemed an event of default: (i)
Lessee's failure to make payment of rent or other charges as provided in this Lease; (ii) Lessee's
5
failure to perform any of the covenants, terms, conditions, or provisions of this Lease; (iii) if a
petition is filed by or against Lessee for relief under the bankruptcy laws, or Lessee shall make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver of any property of the Lessee be appointed in
any action, suit,or proceeding by or against Lessee, or if Lessee shall admit that it is insolvent,or it
is generally not paying its debts as such debts become due,or if the interest of Lessee in the premises
shall be sold under execution or other legal process, or if Lessee shall abandon the premises; (iv)
Lessee vacates or abandons the premises; (v)this Lease or the Premises or any part of the Premises
are taken upon execution or by other process of law directed against Lessee, or are taken upon or
subject to any attachment at the instance of any creditor or claimant against Lessee, and the
attachment is not discharged or disposed of within fifteen (15) days after its levy; (vi) Lessee is
dissolved.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,Lessee shall not be entitled to more than
one (1) notice for monetary defaults during any twelve (12) month period, and if after such notice
any rent is not paid when due,an event of default will be considered to have occurred without further
notice.Upon the occurrence of an event of default,Lessor shall have the right to terminate the Lease
and shall be entitled to possession of the Premises.Lessor may make its election to terminate known
to Lessee by delivery of a notice of termination. Such termination shall be immediately effective and
Lessor shall be entitled to forthwith commence an action in summary proceedings to recover
possession of the Premises, but such termination shall not terminate Lessee's liabilities hereunder.
Lessee waives all notice in connection with such termination, including by way of illustration, but
not limitation, notice of intent to terminate, demand for possession or payment, and notice of
re-entry.No receipt of money by the Lessor from the Lessee after the termination of this Lease shall
reinstate, continue, or extend the term, nor affect or waive any notice given by the Lessor to the
Lessee prior to such receipt of money.

alternative to terminating the Lease, serve a notice for possession or payment. Unless the rent,
additional rent,and any other amounts due under this Lease are paid in accordance with the demand
for possession or payment, Lessor shall be entitled to possession of the Premises and Lessee shall
have no further right to possession under the Lease, but Lessee shall not be relieved of any of its
liability hereunder. Lessee shall remain liable to Lessor for the payment of all rent and other charges
which Lessee has agreed to pay under this Lease throughout the remainder of its term. Should Lessor
elect to re-enter, as herein provided,it may from time to time,without terminating this Lease,make
such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Premises, and relet said
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 Lessor
in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lessor
may, without demand or notice, re-enter and take possession of the Premises or any part of the
Premises,repossess the same,expel Lessee and those claiming through or under Lessee,and remove
the effects of both or either, using such force for such purposes as may be necessary,without being
liable for prosecution,without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass,and without prejudice
to any remedies for arrears of amounts payable under this Lease or as a result of any preceding
breach of covenants or conditions.
Other Remedies. The Lessor's rights, remedies, and benefits provided by this Lease shall be
cumulative, and shall not be exclusive of any other rights, remedies and benefits allowed by law.
6
Estoppel. The parties agree that they shall rely solely upon the terms of this Lease to govern their
relationship. They further agree that reliance upon any representation, act, or omission outside the
terms of this Lease shall be deemed unreasonable,and shall not establish any rights or obligations on
the part of either party.
Independent Covenant.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,Lessee acknowledges and agrees
that its obligation to pay rent under this Lease is an independent covenant,and that such obligation to
pay rent is not subject to set-off or recoupment in connection with any action for summary
proceedings to recover possession of the Premises.

Lessor fails to within thirty(30)days after notice thereof by the Lessee to comply with the conditions
of this Lease, Lessee as its sole and exclusive remedy may terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, no action shall be commenced by the Lessee, any related
persons or entities, and/or any of their successors and/or assigns against the Lessor for monetary
damages.

any proceedings be instituted by or against the Lessee for bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
agreement of composition, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if this Lease or the estate of
the Lessee hereunder shall pass to another by virtue of any court proceedings,writ of execution,levy,
sale or by operation of law,then, and in any of such events, Lessor may,at its option,terminate this
Lease and all rights of Lessee hereunder,by giving five(5)days Notice of its election to so terminate
to Lessee, or to any trustee,receiver, assignee, or other person in charge of or acting as custodian of

terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days written notice to the other party.

party shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same covenant, term,
condition, or provision, and the consent or approval by Lessor to or of any act by Lessee requiring
Lessor's consent or approval shall not be deemed a waiver of Lessor's consent or approval to or of
any subsequent similar act by Lessee.No breach of a covenant,term,condition,or provision of this
Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Lessor,unless such waiver(i)is in writing signed by
Lessor,(ii)identifies the breach, and(iii)expressly states that it is a waiver of the identified breach.

From: Richard G. Kozal, City Manager
Date: 14 October 2020
Re: Other Business Items 5, 6,7 and 8
Lease Agreements for 31 S.Grove Avenue Tenants
The city has been leasing the property it owns at 31 S. Grove Avenue to several not-for-profit or-
ganizations serving the city.Those organizations include the Elgin Area Chamber of Com-
merce; Elgin Symphony Orchestra; Downtown Neighborhood Association of Elgin;and,the
Alignment Collaborative for Education, Inc.The current lease agreements with these organiza-
tions have expired and new, revised leases have been created.
The lease agreements provide for a lease term of January through December 2020 with auto-
matic renewal provision for successive,one-year terms unless either party provides the other
party with not less than 60-days prior written notice before the end of the initial term or renewal
term of its intention not to renew the lease.
The leases also may be terminated by other party by 90-days written notice to the other party.
Consistent with the previous lease agreements,there is no monetary rent being charged and no
security deposits.
Public disclosure of the proposed leases providing a reasonable opportunity for any person to
submit alternative proposals or bids is required by law.The city published such notice in the lo-
cal newspaper and on the city's website.The city received no proposals in response to those
notices.
