additional structural support is to be constructed, and (iii) which could be affected by the
construction of such substitute or additional support; provided, however, that if the Owners are
expressly made jointly responsible, then the approval of all Owners shall be required. The
responsible Owner or Owners shall be severally liable to pay all costs and expenses,
including the Architect's fees and any other architectural fees, in connection with construction of
the substitute or additional support, including any ongoing Maintenance costs(at an amount equal to the ratio
of each responsible Owner's Owner Property Area Ratio to the sum of such responsible Owners' Owner
22
W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
Property Area Ratio), and if a responsible Owner has paid more than its proportionate share of
liability, such Owner shall be entitled to contribution or reimbursement from the other responsible
Owner or Owners in proportion to the other responsible Owner's or Owners' share of liability. The
provisions of Sections 10.4 and 10.5, and not this Article 5, shall apply if the reduction or
inadequacy in structural support results from a fire or other casualty. An Owner may be
"responsible" for inadequate or reduced structural support if such Owner provided information to the
design professionals or contractor which resulted in such inadequacy or reduction in structural support.
(B)If the responsible Owner or Owners cannot be determined for any reason,or if the
reduction or inadequacy in structural support results from a defect in the original construction of any portion
of the Property,then all Owners shall be responsible jointly for substitute or additional structural support
and shall share all costs and expenses as provided in this Section 5.3(B) and thereafter shall jointly
pursue any applicable and legitimate claim against the developer of the Property RSC-Elgin, LLC,
an Illinois limited liability company or such other responsible party for the costs and expenses for
substitute or additional structural support. For purposes of this Section 5.3, a defect in the original
construction of a portion of the Property does not include structural matters which arise out of
improper maintenance by the other Owner or which constitute required or ordinary maintenance
responsibilities. In any case where there is a responsible party other than an Owner, the Owners
will, jointly pursue appropriate legal and equitable remedies against the responsible party. If
joint action is not legally possible, then the Owner or Owners who have a remedy against the
responsible party will pursue enforcement for the benefit of all Owners. Where damages are
recovered from third parties, the Owners shall apply amounts recovered in the following priority:
first, to the costs of suit; second, to payment of costs and expenses of providing substitute or additional
support;third,to damages suffered by the Owners as a result of such reduction or inadequacy in structural
support,to each Owner in the ratio of damages suffered by such Owner to total damages suffered by
the Owners; and fourth, the balance, if any, to the Owners in the Owner Property Area Ratio.
Each Owner, whether pursuing enforcement or not, shall share the costs and expenses
(including any fees of the Architect for advice or preparation of plans and specifications)of substitute or
additional support and any enforcement action under this Section 5.3(B), in the Owner Property Area
Ratio, to the extent such costs and expenses are not recovered from third parties.
(C) The construction of such substitute or additional support shall be performed by
a contractor or contractors jointly selected by the Owners of those portions of the Property (i) for
which such substitute or additional support is required, and (ii) in which such substitute or
additional support is to be constructed, and (iii) which could be affected by the construction of
such substitute or additional support; provided, however, that if all Owners are expressly made
jointly responsible under Section 5.3(B), then the selection by all Owners shall be required(which
selection shall be subject to the approval of the Mortgagees of such Owners). In the event such
Owners, and the Mortgagees of such Owners, fail to agree upon the selection of a contractor or
contractors, the Owners shall request the advice of the Architect. If, after receiving the
Architect's advice,the Owners and their Mortgagees cannot agree on a contractor or contractors to construct
such substitute or additional support,then the selection of a contractor or contractors shall constitute an
Arbitrable Dispute. For purposes of this Article 5, provision or construction of substitute or
additional structural support shall also include any Maintenance required to remedy or prevent the
inadequacy or reduction in structural integrity or safety of the Property.
5.4 Effect of Delay. If delay in constructing substitute or additional support would
endanger the structural safety or integrity of any portion of the Improvements, and it is not likely that such
work will be commenced in time to avoid a reduction in structural integrity or safety, then the
23
W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
Owner or Owners of the portion of the Property in which the reduction occurred or is occurring
shall, upon not less than ten (10) days advance written notice to the other Owners (except that
such advance written notice shall not be required in an Emergency Situation),provide substitute or
additional structural support as and wherever required, or the Owners shall j ointly undertake to
provide substitute or additional structural support;provided,however,the responsible Owner (or Owners
otherwise liable for a share of costs and expenses of providing substitute or additional structural
support)shall be liable for and pay all costs and expenses incurred as a result of any other Owner's
provision of any required substitute or additional support.

INDEMNIFICATIONS: LIENS: COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS: ZONING: PARKING
7.1 Indemnity by Owners. Each Owner (hereinafter in this Section 7.1, the
"Indemnifying Owner")covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense,to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the other Owners(hereinafter in this Section 7.1,collectively the "Indemnitee")from and against
any and all claims, including any actions or proceedings, against the Indemnitee, for losses, liabilities,
damages,judgments, costs and expenses by or on behalf of any person, firm,corporation or
governmental authority, other than the Indemnitee, arising from the Indemnifying Owner's use,
possession or management of the Indemnifying Owner's portion of the Property or Owned
Facilities or activities therein or arising out of the Indemnifying Owner's use,exercise or enjoyment of an
Easement or Facility,and from and against all costs,attorneys'fees,expenses and liabilities incurred
with respect to any such claim, action or proceeding arising therefrom. In case any action or
proceeding is brought against the Indemnitee by reason of any such claim, the Indemnifying
Owner, upon notice from the Indemnitee, covenants to resist or defend such action or proceeding
with attorneys reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. Any counsel for the insurance company
providing insurance against such claim,action or proceeding shall be presumed reasonably satisfactory to
the Indemnitee.
7.2 Liens. Each Owner (hereinafter in this Section 7.2, the "Liening Owner")
shall remove, within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof, any mechanics', materialmen's or
any other similar lien arising by reason of the Liening Owner's act or acts of its agents and contractors or any
work or materials which it or its agents or contractors has ordered (A) on the other Owners'
respective portions of the Property or Owned Facilities, or (B) on its own portion of the Property or Owned
Facilities, if the existence or foreclosure of such lien on its own portion of the Property or Owned Facilities
would adversely affect any Easement benefitting the other Owners or services to be furnished the
other Owners pursuant to Article 6 (such other Owners in (A) or (B) shall be referred to in this
Section 7.2 as the "Impacted Owners"). The Liening Owner shall not be required to remove such
lien within thirty (30) days after its filing if: within such thirty (30)day period, (A)such lien cannot
be foreclosed, and (B) the Liening Owner (i) shall diligently proceed in good faith to contest such lien by
appropriate proceedings and shall give written notice to the Impacted Owners of its intention to contest the
validity or amount of such lien and(ii) shall deliver to the Impacted Owners, at the Impacted Owners' option,
either: (a) cash or a surety bond from a responsible surety company reasonably acceptable to the
Impacted Owners in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the lien claim and
all interest and penalties then accrued on such lien claim or such greater amount as reasonably
24
W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
may be required to assure payment in full of the amount claimed plus all penalties, interest and
costs which may thereafter accrue by reason of such lien claim or(b) other security or indemnity reasonably
acceptable to the Impacted Owners' title insurance company and the Impacted Owners. In any
case, a Liening Owner must remove or release such lien prior to its foreclosure. In the event the Liening
Owner fails to comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2, such Liening Owner
shall become a Defaulting Owner, and the Impacted Owners shall become Creditor Owners and
may take such actions as the Creditor Owners may deem necessary to defend against or remove
such lien. The Creditor Owners shall be entitled to payment from the Defaulting Owner for all
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) paid or incurred by the Creditor Owners
in defending against,removing or attempting to defend against or remove such lien and may use any security
delivered to the Creditor Owners for such purposes and for any other damages from the Defaulting
Owner's breach under this Section 7.2.
7.3 Compliance With Laws. The Owners:
(A) shall each comply with all Laws, if noncompliance by such Owner with respect
to its portion of the Property or any part thereof or Owned Facilities or areas for which such Owner has been
granted an exclusive Easement would subject any other Owner to civil or criminal liability,or
would jeopardize the full force or effect of any certificate of occupancy issued to any other Owner or for the
Property itself or would jeopardize any other Owner's right to occupy or utilize beneficially its respective
portion of the Property or any part thereof or Owned Facilities,or would result in the imposition of a lien
against any of the property of any other Owner; and
(B) shall each comply with all rules, regulations and requirements of any
insurance rating bureau having jurisdiction of the Property or any portion thereof or the requirements of any
insurance coverage on any other Owner's portion of the Property or Owned Facilities if
noncompliance by such Owner with respect to its portion of the Property or any part thereof or
Owned Facilities would (i) increase the premiums of any policy of insurance maintained by any
other Owner or the premiums of any policy of insurance maintained by all Owners (unless the
non-complying Owner pays all such increases), or (ii) render any other Owner's portion of the
Property or Owned Facilities uninsurable, or(iii)create a valid defense to any other Owner's right to
collect insurance proceeds under policies insuring such other Owner's portion of the Property or
Owned Facilities;provided,however,that if such compliance is required solely because of the nature of the
use,possession and management of or activities in the other Owner's portion of the Property or Owned
Facilities,such other Owner shall be liable for the costs and expense of such compliance. If at any time any
Owner so obligated to comply shall not proceed diligently with any such compliance, and such
failure to proceed shall adversely and-materially affect any other Owner (then such Owner who
has failed to proceed shall become a Defaulting Owner and the other Owners shall become Creditor
Owners),and such Creditor Owners may give written notice to the Defaulting Owner specifying the
respect or respects in which the cure of such noncompliance is not proceeding diligently and,
if upon expiration of ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice,any such cure of the noncompliance
is still not proceeding diligently,then the Creditor Owners may cause such compliance to occur by
taking all appropriate steps to cure such noncompliance. The Creditor Owners shall be entitled to
reimbursement upon demand from the Defaulting Owner for all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Creditor Owners in connection with causing any such
compliance to occur.

(B) The Commercial Parcel, the Condominium Parcel and the Public Parking
Garage Parcel are now and shall continue to be combined and treated as one zoning lot for the
purposes of complying with the City Zoning Ordinance. If the City Zoning Ordinance or any other
applicable zoning ordinances require that there be a single designated controlling entity for the
zoning lot, then for purposes of dealing with the City of Elgin, the Condominium Property Owner
shall be such designated entity. The foregoing designation will not be deemed to expand such
Owner's rights or reduce the other Owners' rights under this Section 7.4 Notwithstanding the
forgoing, or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Owner shall file an application with
the City of Elgin to amend the planned development ordinance for the Property without the
advance consent of the City Council of the City of Elgin.
(C) No Owner may take any actions or file any petitions to amend the zoning affecting any
property contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of any other Owners that
will be affected by such Amendment and, in all cases, also with the prior written consent of the
Condominium Property Owner and the City Council of the City of Elgin.
(D) Each Owner shall execute such applications or other instruments as may be
necessary to obtain any zoning variation or amendment conforming with the provisions of this
Section 7.4;provided,however,the Owner requesting such zoning variation or amendment shall indemnify
and hold harmless the other Owners from and against any and all loss,liability,claims,judgments,costs and
expenses arising out of the other Owners'execution of such applications or other instruments. If any
Owner fails to execute any such applications or instruments when required hereunder to do so,the
Owner requesting such zoning variation or amendment is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact of
such Owner(such power of attorney being coupled with an interest) to execute such application or
instruments on behalf of such Owner.
(E) The Condominium Property Owner shall operate and use the Condominium
Property only as a first-class residential condominium property and may not use the Condominium Property
for any use other than residential purposes and uses ancillary to residential purposes. The Public

as a first-class public parking garage and may not use the Public Parking Garage Property for
any other use. The Commercial.Property may be used for any retail, office, commercial or
entertainment use at any time, subject only to applicable Laws and the PUD. The Commercial Property may
not be used for any use which: (i) is unlawful or in violation of Law;(ii) may create anuisance or
injure the reputation of the Condominium Property;(iii)is for lodging or sleeping purposes; (iv) is
dangerous to life and limb; or (v) may be offensive, disreputable or immoral, including, but

REAL ESTATE TAXES
8.1 Separate Assessment. The Owners shall cooperate with each other and make good
faith efforts so that the Commercial Property, the Condominium Property and the Public Parking Garage
Property shall, when possible, be assessed separately by the Assessor and taxed as three
(3) or more separate parcels of real estate. If at any time there is a separate assessed valuation
determinable based on an examination of the Assessor's records (but not a separate tax bill or
bills) for each of the three, or more, parcels, real estate taxes for any combined parcels shall be
allocated between the Parcels based on the ratio of the assessed valuation for such Parcels. The
Commercial Property Owner shall pay the real estate taxes levied upon the Commercial Property, the
Condominium Property Owner shall pay the real estate taxes levied upon the Condominium
Property and the Public Parking Garage Property Owner shall pay the real estate taxes (if any)
levied upon the Public Parking Garage Property during any period when the Commercial
Property, the Condominium Property and the Public Parking Garage Property are separately
assessed and taxed. Each Owner shall be entitled independently to cause such Owner's portion of
the Property to be assessed and taxed as two (2) or more separate parcels of real estate. The
Public Parking Garage Property Owner shall take all actions necessary(including,but not limited to, filing all
petitions, applications and complaints) to cause the Public Parking Garage Property to be and
remain exempt from taxation.
8.2 Reference to Taxes in Leases. For purposes of this Agreement and any documents or
instruments, such as leases, referring to the allocation of real estate taxes pursuant to this
Agreement, the real estate taxes allocated to a portion of the Property shall mean those taxes
assessed and payable with respect to such portion of the Property as long as such portion of the
Property is separately assessed and taxed.
8.3 Failure to Pay Taxes. If a Defaulting Owner shall fail to pay any tax or
other charge, or share thereof, which is due and which such Defaulting Owner is obligated to
pay pursuant to this Article 8, and if such unpaid tax or charge is a lien or encumbrance on
any portion of the Property or Improvements and any lawful authority would thereafter have the right to sell
or otherwise foreclose against any portion of the Property or Improvements owned by any other Owner or to
impair or extinguish any Easement benefiting any other Owner by reason of such nonpayment,then
the Creditor Owner or Owners may, after ten(10)days written notice to the Defaulting Owner, pay such
tax or charge, or share thereof, together with any interest and penalties thereon, and the Defaulting
Owner shall,upon demand,reimburse the Creditor Owners for the amount of such payment, including
the amount of any interest or penalty amounts that accrued thereon.
8.4 No Separate Bill. If at any time after the initial tax division is effected there is not a
separate assessed valuation which can be determined by an examination of the Assessor's records and tax
bills for the Commercial Property, the Condominium Property and the Public Parking Garage
Property,real estate taxes for which no separate assessed valuation can be so determined shall be
allocated to each Owner not separately assessed and taxed based on the ratio of (a)respective
appraised value of each portion of the Property for which such Owner is obligated to pay real estate taxes
(as set forth in Section 8.1) which is not included in a separate tax bill to an Owner, to (b) the total
appraised values of such parcels not included in a separate tax bill to an Owner. If the Owners
affected by such allocation cannot agree on the ratio to be used, such matter shall be an
Arbitrable Dispute.

such determination or appraisal.
(B)Public Liability - The Commercial Property Owner, the Condominium
Property Owner and the Public Parking Garage Property Owner shall each(1)insure against public liability
claims and losses on a comprehensive or commercial general liability form of insurance with broad form
coverage endorsements covering claims for personal and bodily injury or property damage occurring in, on,
under,within,upon or about the Project Site,or as a result of operations thereon(including contractual
liability covering obligations created by this Agreement including, but not limited to,those indemnity
obligations contained in this Agreement),and(2)maintain automobile liability insurance for owned, non-
owned and hired vehicles, each coverage in such amounts as may be required by Law and as may from
time to time be carried by prudent owners of first-class commercial, residential or public parking
garage buildings (as the case may be) in the greater Chicago area,but in all events for limits,as to each
Owner and its portion of the Property, of not less than $1,000,000 each occurrence and $2,000,000
aggregate for personal and bodily injury or property damage with an amount not less than
$5,000,000 umbrella coverage. Each such policy shall be endorsed to provide cross-liability or
severability of interests for the named insureds.

W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain square v10-Clean.docean.doc
appurtenant equipment on a repair or replacement basis with limits of not less than the lesser of
$2,000,000 or the insurable value of such Property equipment, machinery and apparatus each
accident, and also providing coverage as to each Owner in accordance with its own needs, for loss of rental
income or use caused by business interruption or extra expense incurred to reduce such loss of income, in

residential or public parking garage buildings in the greater Chicago area.
(D) Flood and Earthquake- The Commercial Property Owner, the Public
Parking Garage Property Owner and the Condominium Property Owner, in addition to "all risk"property
insurance required under Section 9.1(A), shall each insure their respective portions of the Property against
earthquake and flood risks in an amount equal to the replacement cost thereof or such lesser amount as then
may be reasonably available in the insurance market; both subject,however,to deductibles available and
reasonable for such types of insurance.
(E) Builder's Risk - Each Owner shall carry "all risk" builder's risk insurance
(including loss of income and "soft costs") for not less than the completed value of the work then being
performed by such Owner or Owners under Article 5, Sections 10.4 or 10.5 or for any
Alterations which require another Owner's consent under Section 15.1. Such insurance shall
include coverage for items stored off-site and items in transit for an amount sufficient to cover
fully any loss. Loss of rental income or use and "soft costs" occurring during the period covered by builder's
risk insurance shall be insured in such amounts as may be carried by prudent owners of first-class
commercial, residential or public parking garage buildings in the greater Chicago
area.
(F) Worker's Compensation. Each Owner shall carry worker's compensation
insurance in amounts as required by Law and employer's liability insurance in not less than the
following amounts: bodily injury by accident, $1;000,000 each accident; bodily injury by disease,
$1,000,000 each employee; bodily injury by disease, $1,000,000 policy limit.
9.2 Insurance Companies. Insurance policies under this Article 9 maybe joint or may be
issued separately with respect to each Owner's interest in the Property. In the case of any
insurance policy covering the Owners jointly, the Owners shall apportion the premium based on
the manner in which the insurance company has underwritten the risks. If separate policies are
issued, they shall be coordinated so that there are no gaps in coverage, and the insurance company or
companies shall agree that the entire Property will be covered among the Owners' separate
policies. The Owners will consult with one another at least annually (and may retain a consultant to advise
them, the cost of employing such consultant to be shared equally by the Owners) concerning
the advantages and disadvantages to each Owner and the Property as a whole of separate
insurance policies as opposed to joint policies (including any cost advantages and availability of
joint policies), and will give careful consideration to these matters before choosing to have separate policies.
In the case of a joint policy, if any Owner disagrees with the apportion-ment of the insurance premium or the
selection of an insurance company, the question of selection of an insurance company or apportionment
of premium shall constitute an Arbitrable Dispute. Insurance policies required by Section 9.1
shall be purchased from reputable and financially responsible insurance companies, taking into
consideration the nature and amount of insurance required, who shall hold a current Policyholder's
Alphabetic and Financial Size Category Rating of not less than A/VII(or such lesser rating as the Owners and
Mortgagees may agree) according to Best's Insurance Reports or a substantially equivalent rating
from a nationally-recognized insurance rating service.

W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square vl0-Clean.docean.doc
9.3 Insurance Provisions. Each policy described in Section 9.1 (other than
Section 9.1(F)): (i) shall provide that the knowledge or acts or omissions of any insured party
shall not invalidate the policy as against any other insured party or otherwise adversely affect the rights of
any other insured party under any such policy; (ii) shall insure as "named" insureds the Commercial Property
Owner, the Public Parking Garage Property Owner and the Condominium Property Owner (except that
the Owners other than the primary insured shall be "additional" insureds under policies
described in 9.1(B)); (iii) shall provide (except for liability insurance described in Section
9.1(B), for which it is inapplicable) by endorsement or otherwise, that the insurance shall not be
invalidated should any of the insureds under the policy waive in writing prior to a loss any or all
rights of recovery against any party for loss occurring to the property insured under the policy, if
such provisions or endorsements are available and provided that such waiver by the insureds does not
invalidate the policy or diminish or impair the insured's ability to collect under the policy, or
unreasonably increase the premiums for such policy unless the party to be benefitted by such
endorsement or provision pays such increase; (iv) shall provide, except for liability insurance
required by Section 9.1(B), that all losses payable thereunder shall be paid to the Depositary in accordance
with the terms of Article 17, unless the Owners otherwise agree, subject to the consent of the
Mortgagees; (v) shall provide for a minimum of thirty (30) days' advance written notice of the
cancellation, nonrenewal or material modification of such policy to Mortgagees and all insureds
thereunder; (vi) shall include a standard mortgagee endorsement or loss payable clause in favor of the
Mortgagees reasonably satisfactory to them; and (vii) shall not include a co-insurance clause. Unless
otherwise specified in this Agreement, the "all-risk" form of property-related insurance required
to be procured and maintained by the Condominium Property Owner, the Commercial Property
Owner and the Public Parking Garage Property Owner shall provide no less coverage (with the exception of
deductible amounts) than the standard form of insurance currently promulgated by the Insurance
Services Office, its successor, or other substantially similar insurance organization having
responsibility for the design and publication of standardized insurance coverage forms for use
by the insurance industry. All insurance required to be maintained by the Condominium
Property Owner pursuant to this Article 9 shall be maintained by the Condominium Association.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 9, all or any portion of the
insurance required to be maintained by the Commercial Property Owner pursuant to this Article
9 may be maintained by the Permittees (including tenants) of the Commercial Property Owner.
9.4 Limits of Liability. Insurance specified in this Article 9 or carried by the Owners
shall be jointly reviewed by the Owners periodically at the request of any Owner, but no review
will be required more often than annually (unless there is a substantial change in the Property or
operations conducted in the Property), to determine if such limits, deductible amounts and types of
insurance are reasonable and prudent in view of the type, place and amount of risk to be
transferred and the financial responsibility of the insureds, and to determine whether such limits, deductible
amounts and types of insurance comply with the requirements of all applicable statutes, laws, ordinances,
codes, rules, regulations, or orders and whether on a risk management basis, additional types of
insurance or endorsements against special risks should be carried or whether required coverages or
endorsements should be deleted. Initially, deductible amounts for insurance required under Sections 9.1
(A) (other than loss of rental income insurance), 9.1(C) and 9.1(E) shall not exceed $25,000.
Deductible amounts for insurance required under Section 9.1(B) shall not be more than is reasonable
considering the financial responsibility of the insured and shall also be subject, in any case, to the
consideration to be given deductible amounts described in this Section 9.4.Where separate policies
are issued under Section 9.1(A) or 9.1(D), then deductibles shall be the same, if reasonably possible.
Limits of liability may not be less than limits required by Mortgagees, notwithstanding amounts set
forth in this Article 9. Such limits shall be increased or decreased, deductible amounts increased or decreased
30
W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean,docean.doc
or types of insurance shall be modified, if justified, based upon such review, and upon any such
increase, decrease or modification, the Owners shall, at any Owner's election, execute an instrument in
recordable form confirming such increase, decrease or modification, which any Owner may
record with the Recorder as a supplement to this Agreement; provided, that no agreement
regarding a decrease in limits of liability, increase in deductible amounts or elimination of any types of
coverages shall be effective without the written consent of the Mortgagees. With the consent of all Owners,
the Owners may employ an insurance consultant to perform such review on their behalf or to
administer insurance-related matters, and the cost of employing any such consultant shall be
shared equally by the Owners.
9.5 Renewal Policies. Copies of all renewal insurance policies or binders with
summaries of coverages afforded and evidencing renewal shall be delivered by each Owner to the other
Owners and to the Mortgagees at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of any such expiring
insurance policy. Binders shall be replaced with certified full copies of the actual renewal
policies as soon as reasonably possible. Should an Owner fail to provide and maintain any policy
of insurance required under this Article 9 or pay its share of the premiums or other costs for any
joint policies, then the other Owners may purchase such policy and the costs of such policy (or the
Defaulting Owner's share of such costs) shall be due from the Defaulting Owner within ten (10)
days after written demand by the Creditor Owners.
9.6 Waiver. Provided that such a waiver does not invalidate the respective policy
or policies or diminish or impair the insured's ability to collect under such policy or policies
or unreasonably increase the premiums for such policy or policies unless the party to be benefitted
by such waiver pays such increase, and without limiting any release or waiver of liability or
recovery contained elsewhere in this Agreement, each Owner hereby waives all claims for
recovery from the other Owners for any loss or damage to any of its property insured(or required to be insured
under this Agreement)under valid and collectible insurance policies to the extent of any recovery collectible(or
which would have been collectible had such insurance required under this Agreement been obtained)
under such insurance policies plus any deductible amounts.
ARTICLE 10
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR: DAMAGE TO THE IMPROVEMENTS.
10.1 Maintenance of Commercial Improvements. Except as expressly provided in
Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 (and related Exhibits) relating to Maintenance of certain Facilities and
areas of the Property or in this Article 10 in the event of fire or other casualty, and except as
provided in and without limiting or diminishing such Owner's obligations under Article 5, the
Commercial Property Owner shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain and keep the Commercial

extraordinary repairs or replacements, necessary to keep the such property in safe first-class
order and condition, and whether or not necessitated by wear, tear, obsolescence, defects or
otherwise. The Commercial Property Owner agrees that it shall not suffer or commit, and shall
use all reasonable precaution to prevent, waste to its property. To the extent any Facility is
utilized, shared and depended upon substantially by more than one of the Commercial
Property Owner, the Condominium Property Owner and/or the Public Parking Garage

Condominium Property Owner shall cause such Condominium Unit Owners to so perform such
obligations. As part of such Maintenance, the Condominium Property Owner shall perform
all snow removal within the Condominium Property and the Commercial Property
(subject to equitable reimbursement). The Condominium Property Owner further agrees that it
shall not suffer or commit, and shall use all reasonable precautions to prevent waste to such property. To
the extent any Facility is utilized, shared and depended upon substantially by more than one
of the Commercial Property Owner, the Condominium Property Owner and/or the Public
Parking Garage Property Owner (a "Shared Facility"), then, regardless of the location of
the Shared Facility as within any Parcel and subject to the exceptions set forth above in this
paragraph, the cost to Maintain, repair or replace the Shared Facility shall be allocated by
and amongst the Owners utilizing the Shared Facility, in accordance with the Owner
Property Area Ratio.

exceptions set forth above in this paragraph, the cost to Maintain, repair or replace the
Shared Facility shall be allocated by and amongst the Owners utilizing the Shared Facility,
in accordance with the Owner Property Area Ratio.
10.4 Damage Affecting Only Condominium Improvements. Commercial Improvements
or Public Parking Garage Improvements. If any portion of the Property is damaged by fire or
other casualty and (A) if such damage occurs within the Commercial Improvements only or (B) if
such damage occurs within the Condominium Improvements only, or (C) if such damage occurs
within the Public Parking Garage Improvements only, then any such damage shall be repaired and
restored by the Owner of the portion of the Property in which any such damage occurs (or such
other Owner, if any, which caused such damage) in as timely a manner as practicable under the
circumstances, and such Owner shall, in accordance with the provisions of Article 18,be entitled to withdraw
any insurance proceeds (including deductible amounts) held by the Depositary by reason of any
such damage, for application to the cost and expense of the repair and restoration of any such
damage. If at any time any Owner so obligated to repair and restore such damage shall not
proceed diligently with any repair or restoration adversely and materially affecting an Easement
in favor of the other Owner or Owners or services to be furnished the other Owners under
Article 6, then (i) the Creditor Owners may give written notice to the Defaulting Owner specifying
the respect or respects in which such repair or restoration is not proceeding diligently and, if,upon expiration of
ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice, any such work of repair or restoration is still not proceeding
diligently, then the Creditor Owners may perform such repair and restoration and may take all
appropriate steps to carry out such repair and restoration; or (ii) in an Emergency Situation the
Creditor Owners may immediately perform such repair or resto-ration and may take all appropriate
steps to carry out such repair and restoration. The Creditor Owners in so performing such repair
and restoration shall, in accordance with Article 18, be entitled to withdraw any insurance
proceeds and any other monies held by the Depositary as a result of any such damage, for application
to the cost and expense of any such repair or restoration and shall also be entitled to reimbursement upon
demand from Defaulting Owner for all costs and expenses incurred by Creditor Owners in excess of
such insurance proceeds. Repair and restoration under this Section 10.4 shall constitute Alterations,
except that the Owner performing the repair and restoration shall not be required to obtain the other Owners'
consent if such consent would not otherwise be required under Article 15, and Section 15.1(E)(iii)
shall not apply.
10.5 Joint Damage. If the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty and if
the provisions of Section 10.4 are not applicable because the nature of the damage is such that it does not fall
within any of the categories set forth in clause (A), (B) or (C) of Section 10.4, then to the extent such
damage does not fall within any of such categories,the repair and restoration of only that portion of such
damage which does not fall within those categories shall be the joint responsibility of the
Owner or Owners in whose portion of the Property the damage occurs or whose Facilities are
damaged (the "Affected Owners"). Such repair and restoration shall be commenced and
pursued to completion in as timely a manner as practicable and shall be performed on behalf of
the Affected Owners by a contractor or contractors jointly selected by the Affected Owners, which
selection shall be subject to the approval of the Mortgagees if the approximate cost of the
repair and restoration is greater than $500,000.00 (in 2007 Equivalent Dollars). Participation by
an Affected Owner in selecting an Architect or contractor shall be limited to the selection of the
Architect preparing plans and specifications for, and the contractor performing repair or restoration of,
its actual areas or Facilities damaged. In the event the Affected Owners, and their
Mortgagees, if required, fail to agree upon the selection of a contractor or contractors, the
33
W:\WORK134060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
Affected Owners shall request the advice of the Architect. If, after receiving the Architect's advice,the
Affected Owners cannot agree on a contractor or contractors, then the selection of a contractor or
contractors shall be an Arbitrable Dispute. The plans and specifications for such repair and
restoration shall be prepared by the Architect, unless the Affected Owners otherwise agree upon
another person or entity to prepare them, subject to the approval of their Mortgagees, in accordance
with instructions given by all Affected Owners. Such plans and specifications shall provide for the
damaged portion of the Property to be rebuilt as nearly identical as commercially practicable to
the damaged portion of Property as constructed prior to the damage unless prohibited by law or
unless the Affected Owners otherwise agree, subject to the approval of their Mortgagees and
subject to the consent of other Owners under Section 15.1(B) where required. The Architect (or other
architect or engineer preparing the plans and specifications) shall furnish to each of the Affected
Owners, and their Mortgagees, a set of the plans and specifications which it has prepared or caused
to be prepared. Unless the Affected Owners otherwise agree (subject to the approval of their
Mortgagees if the approximate cost of the repair and restoration is greater than $500,000.00
(in 2007 Equivalent Dollars)), any contractor or contractors shall work under the supervision of the
Architect (or other architect or engineer preparing the plans and specifications), and the Architect (or other
architect or engineer preparing the plans and specifications) is hereby authorized and directed to instruct the
Depositary, from time to time, but only with the prior approval of the Affected Owners and their
Mortgagees, as such repair and restoration progresses, to disburse in accordance with Article 18, the insurance
proceeds (including deductible amounts) held by the Depositary and any other monies deposited
with the Depositary pursuant to Section 10.6 for application against the cost and expense of any
such repair and restoration.
10.6 Cost of Repairs. If the cost and expense of performing any repair and restoration
provided for in Section 10.5 shall exceed the amount of available insurance proceeds, if any,paid by reason of
the damage,including deductible amounts,then such excess cost and expense(or the entire amount of such cost
and expense, if there are no insurance proceeds) shall be borne by the Owners, in proportion to the cost and
expense of repairing and restoring to their former condition their respective portions of the Property and
Owned Facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Owner has not carried the insurance required
under Article 9 and,therefore, is a Defaulting Owner, then such Defaulting Owner shall pay the costs
and expenses not covered by insurance which another Owner is obligated to pay which would not
have been payable by such Owner if proper insurance had been carried by the Defaulting Owner
to the extent of the amount which would have been available as insurance proceeds had such Defaulting
Owner carried the required insurance.
10.7 Deposit of Costs. In any instance of repair or restoration pursuant to Sections 10.4 or
10.5, the Condominium Property Owner, the Commercial Property Owner or the Public
Parking Garage Property Owner may require that an estimate of the cost or expense of perfonning such
repair or restoration be made by a reputable independent professional construction cost-
estimating firm,unless a construction contract providing for the performance of such repair and restoration
at a stipulated sum has already been executed. If the estimate or stipulated sum, or if the actual
amount incurred in performing such repair or restoration, exceeds the amount of insurance
proceeds,if any,paid or payable by reason of the damage,then any Owner may at any time give notice to the
other Owners demanding that each Owner deposit with the Depositary the amount of such excess cost and
expense attributable to each Owner pursuant to Section 10.6. Any Owner maintaining deductible amounts shall
deposit the deductible amounts. In lieu of depositing its share of such excess amount or such deductible amount
based upon such estimate or stipulated sum, or actual cost and expense of performing such repair or
restoration, an Owner may deliver to the Depositary security for payment of its share in a form
reasonably acceptable to the other Owners and the Depositary. Such security may be in the form
34
W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
of, but shall not be limited to, an irrevocable and unconditional letter of credit in favor of the Depositary
in the face amount of the share owed or an irrevocable loan commitment, reasonably satisfactory to the other
Owners and the Mortgagees, issued by a responsible lending institution to disburse an amount
equal to such Owner's share of such excess or deductible amount to the Depositary to pay the cost and
expense of any such repair or restoration as the work progresses, in proportion to such Owner's
share of the cost and expense of any such repair or restoration. If the amount of the security
required is based on an estimate of the cost and expense of repair and restoration,then the amount of security
required to be deposited or available shall be readjusted upward or downward as the work
progresses based on actual costs and expenses of the work. If an Owner shall fail to pay, or, as
the case may be, deposit, such Owner's share of the cost and expense (or estimated cost and
expense) of performing any repair or restoration in accordance with this Section 10.7, or shall fail to deliver
security for such performance in accordance with this Section 10.7 within ten (10) days after receipt of the
other Owners' written demand, then the Creditor Owners may pay the Defaulting Owner's
share and the Defaulting Owner shall, upon written demand, reimburse the Creditor Owners for
such payment and the Creditor Owners' reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection
with such payment.
10.8 Excess Insurance Proceeds. Upon completion of the repair and restoration of any
damage to the Property, any remaining insurance proceeds paid by reason of such damage shall be
refunded to each Owner in proportion to the ratio that the insurance proceeds contributed by such
Owner or by such Owner's insurance company bears to the total insurance proceeds made available
by all Owners and such Owners' insurance companies for the repair and restoration or, if the insurance is
provided by a single policy covering the Property, then the ratio of insurance proceeds attributed
to such Owner's portion of the Property and Owned Facilities by the insurer or the Owners to the total
insurance proceeds made available by the insurer or the Owners for the repair and restoration.The rights of the
Owners to payment of excess insurance proceeds, if any, shall be subject to the provisions of Section
21.12. For purposes of this Section 10.8, insurance proceeds include deductible amounts.
10.9 Agreement Not to Repair. If the Property is destroyed or substantially damaged,
and the Commercial Property Owner, the Condominium Property Owner (subject to the
Condominium Act) and the Public Parking Garage Property Owner agree not to rebuild, repair or
restore the Property, subject to the written approval of the Mortgagees of the Commercial
Property Owner, the Condominium Property Owner and the Public Parking Garage Property
Owner,then the Property shall be demolished to the extent necessary to comply with all applicable Laws. In
such event, the available insurance proceeds, other than insurance proceeds used to cause
demolition to be performed, shall be refunded to each Owner in the same ratio of insurance proceeds
contributed by such Owner or by such Owner's insurance company to the total insurance proceeds paid by
reason of such damage or, if the insurance is provided by a single policy covering the
Property, then in the ratio of insurance proceeds attributed by the insurer to such Owner's portion
of the Property and Owned Facilities to the total insurance proceeds paid by reason of such
damage. If the Owners agree not to rebuild, repair or restore the Property, the rights of the
Owners to receive available insurance proceeds,if any, shall be subject to the rights of the Mortgagees with
respect to the applicable Owner's share of any such available insurance proceeds. Such demolition
shall be deemed to be a"repair or restoration"to which the provisions of Sections 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 and 10.10 are
applicable except that demolition,and not construction,shall be performed. In the event the Commercial
Property Owner, the Condominium Property Owner and the Public Parking Garage Property Owner
agree not to rebuild the Property, subject to the written approval of the Mortgagees of such Owners,they may
also make provision for sale of the Project Site by the Owners and distribution of sale proceeds,
35
W:\WORK134060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
all subject to the written approval of the Mortgagees of the Commercial Property Owner, the
Condominium Property Owner and the Public Parking Garage Property Owner.
10.10 Costs Defined. For purposes of this Article 10, architects' and engineers'
fees, attorneys' fees, consultants' fees, title insurance premiums and other similar costs and
expenses relating to repair or restoration shall be included in the costs and expenses of any such
repair or restoration.
10.11 Restoration of Condominium Property. In the event of fire or other
"disaster" (as such term is used in the Condominium Act) causing damage to the Condominium
Property which would entitle the Condominium Property Owner, under the Condominium Act
or Condominium Declaration, not to repair and restore the Condominium Property as required by
this Agreement or not to use insurance proceeds for repair and restore of the Condominium
Property, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, then prior to disbursement of any insurance or other
proceeds to Condominium Unit Owners and no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after
occurrence of the fire or other disaster in any event, if affirmative action and provision has not
been taken by such date by the Condominium Property Owner to repair and restore the
Condominium Property, the Condominium Property Owner shall pay to the Commercial Property
Owner and to the Public Parking Garage Property Owner an amount necessary so that the Commercial
Property Owner and the Public Parking Garage Property Owner shall have sufficient proceeds to demolish
or repair and restore the Property to a condition so as adequately to assure:
(a) the structural integrity and safety of the Property;
(b) the continuous and efficient operation of all Property electrical, utility,
mechanical, plumbing and other systems and Facilities serving the Commercial Property and
the Public Parking Garage Property;
(c) compliance with all zoning, building and other laws, rules, orders,
ordinances, regulations and requirements of any governmental body or municipality or
agency having jurisdiction of the Property; and
(d) the architectural unity and aesthetic appearance of the restored
Property as first-class property.
ARTICLE 11
LIENS, DEBTS, INTEREST AND REMEDIES.
11.1 Failure to Perform. If, at any time, any Owner fails within ten (10) days
after notice or demand to pay any sum of money due to a Creditor Owner under or pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement (thereby becoming a Defaulting Owner), then, in addition to
any other rights or remedies the Creditor Owner may have, the Creditor Owner shall have (i) a
lien against the portion of the Property or Project Site owned by the Defaulting Owner and (ii) for
a default under Article 10, a lien also against any insurance proceeds payable to the Defaulting
Owner for loss or damage to such portion of the Property or Project Site or otherwise under
insurance policies carried pursuant to Article 9 to secure the repayment of such sum of money and all interest
on such sum accruing pursuant to the provisions of this Article 11. Such liens shall arise
immediately upon the recording of a notice by the Creditor Owner with the Recorder and may be
36
W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square vl0-Clean.docean.doc
enforced by a proceeding in equity to foreclose such lien in a manner similar to a foreclosure
of a mortgage of real property in the State of Illinois or by any other remedy available by statute or at law or
in equity or as provided for in Section 11.2. Such liens shall continue in full force and effect until
such sum of money and any accrued interest thereon("Default Amount")shall have been paid in full.A
Creditor Owner's liens provided for in this Section 11.1, shall be superior to and take precedence over
any mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrance (including a mortgage or trust deed on a
Condominium Unit) other than a Prior Lien constituting a lien on the portion of the Property or
Project Site owned by the Defaulting Owner. A "Prior Lien"means (i)a First Mortgage(including a
mortgage or trust deed on a Condominium Unit)which has been recorded against the Property or Project
Site, or against a portion of either, prior to the time of the recording of the Creditor Owner's
notice of lien, and (ii) with respect to any Condominium Unit,a lien in favor of the Condominium
Association for common expenses and other charges as specified in Section 9(g)(1) of Condominium
Act, for which a notice of lien has been recorded against the Condominium Unit in accordance with
Section 9(h)of the Act prior to the time of the recording of the Creditor Owner's notice of lien.
11.2 No Diminution of Lien.No conveyance or other divestiture of title (except
foreclosure of a Prior Lien which is superior to a lien arising under this Article 11) shall in any
way affect or diminish any lien arising pursuant to this Article 11,and any lien which would have arisen
against any property pursuant to this Article 11 had there been no conveyance or divestiture of title(except
foreclosure of a Prior Lien which is superior to a lien arising under this Article 11)shall not be defeated or
otherwise diminished or affected by reason of such conveyance or divestiture of title. Further,
if at any time after the Condominium Property or a portion thereof has been submitted to the
Illinois Condominium Act, any other Owner as a Creditor Owner has recorded a notice of lien under
Section 11.1 against a Condominium Unit which lien has not been foreclosed, released or satisfied in full,
and if such Condominium Unit is thereafter sold, then provided such Creditor Owner has notified
the Condominium Association of the recordation of such notice of liens, such Creditor Owner shall be
entitled to receive from the proceeds of the sale of such Condominium Unit an amount equal to the proceeds
from the sale of such Condominium Unit minus any amount paid to satisfy the Prior Lien on such
Condominium Unit,but in no event more than the product of the unpaid Default Amount multiplied
by such Condominium Unit's percentage interest in the common elements in the condominium as
shown in the Condominium Declaration. Upon payment of such amount, the Creditor Owner shall
provide a partial release of its lien for such Condominium Unit in accordance with Section
21.13(A). A Creditor Owner shall notify the Condominium Association of the recordation,
foreclosure, release or satisfaction of liens against the Condominium Units. The Condominium
Association shall notify the other Owners in advance of any sale of a Condominium Unit against which a
lien of a Creditor Owner is known to the Condominium Association to exist.Following any such sale,the
Creditor Owner shall continue to have(x)a lien on such Condominium Unit and(y)the rights with respect to
the proceeds of any subsequent sales of such Condominium Unit, as provided in this Article 11, to
secure repayment of any remaining portion of the Default Amount secured by the lien that applies to such
Condominium Unit, which lien shall be subordinate to any Prior Lien on such
Condominium Unit.
11.3 Mortgagee's Subrogation. The holder of a mortgage or trust deed on all or any
portion of the Commercial Property or of all or any portion of the Condominium Property or all or any
portion of the Public Parking Garage Property shall have the right to be subrogated to the position
of the holder of any lien arising pursuant to this Article 11 affecting the property secured by such holder's
mortgage or trust deed upon payment of the amount secured by such lien.
37
W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
11.4 Interest Rate. Interest shall accrue on sums owed by a Defaulting Owner to
a Creditor Owner and shall be payable from the date any such sum first became due under until this
Agreement paid in full, at a rate of interest equal to the lesser of: (a) the floating rate which is
equal to three percent (3 %) per annum in excess of the annual rate of interest from time to time
announced by The First National Bank of Chicago at Chicago, Illinois or any successor as its
corporate base,prime or reference rate of interest or(b)the then maximum lawful rate of interest in Illinois
applicable to the capacity of the Defaulting Owner and the nature of the debt. In the event a
corporate base, prime or reference rate of interest is not announced or is not available, and no maximum
lawful rate applies, then interest shall accrue at the annual rate of eighteen percent (18%).
11.5 Cumulative Remedies. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.7,
the rights and remedies of an Owner provided for in this Article 11 or elsewhere in this
Agreement are cumulative and not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies to which such Owner may
be entitled at law or in equity or by statute. An Owner may enforce, by a proceeding in equity
for mandatory injunction, another Owner's obligation to execute or record any document which
such other Owner is required to execute under or pursuant to this Agreement. The exercise by
such Owner of any right or remedy to which it is entitled under this Agreement shall not preclude or restrict
the exercise of any other right or remedy provided under this Agreement. The lien rights granted
under Section 11.1 shall not preclude the filing of a lien under the Mechanics' Lien Act with respect to the
Creditor Owner's performance pursuant to Articles 5 and 6 of this Agreement, as permitted by
Section 21.15 of this Agreement.
11.6 No Set-Off. Each claim of any Owner arising under this Agreement shall
be separate and distinct, and no defense, set-off, offset or counterclaim arising against the
enforcement of any lien or other claim of any Owner shall thereby be or become a defense,
set-off, offset or counterclaim against the enforcement of any other lien or claim.
11.7 Period of Limitation. Subject to Section 18.2(f)of the Condominium Act, actions to
enforce any right, claim or lien under this Agreement shall be commenced within three (3)
years immediately following the date the cause of action accrued, or such other shorter period as may be
provided by law or statute.
11.8 Attorneys' Fees. A Defaulting Owner shall pay the reasonable attorneys' fees and
court costs paid or incurred by a Creditor Owner in successfully enforcing its rights against the
Defaulting Owner under this Agreement.

which (with respect to any of such matters) shall be not resolved within
sixty (60) days after arising (or such other shorter or longer time period expressly provided in this
Agreement),shall be submitted for arbitration to one (1) arbitrator at the Chicago, Illinois office of
the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its then existing Commercial Arbitration Rules.
Each Owner who is a party to the arbitration shall cause the arbitrator to be selected within seven
(7) business days, and proceedings shall commence within five (5) business days after selection of the
arbitrator,notwithstanding that a longer period may be allowed under the Commercial Arbitration Rules. In
the case of disputes under clauses (C)(i), (ii) or (iii) of this Article 12, or where the subject for
arbitration is otherwise the joint selection or appointment of an individual, company or other entity
to perform professional or other services, the decision of the arbitrator shall be limited to the
individuals, companies and other entities proposed by the Owners in their attempt to agree or from
those included in an approved list submitted by the Owners. In the case of any other matter upon
which the Parties fail to agree and which this Agreement expressly requires the Owners to jointly decide or
agree upon, the decision of the arbitrator shall be limited to the terms (or a compromise of such terms) or
within the scope of the terms proposed by each of the Owners in the negotiations of the issue. Any award
issued by the arbitrator shall take into account and be consistent with any standards, terms or
conditions contained in this Agreement expressly governing the subject of the dispute, except in
those instances where the arbitrator is required to select an individual, company or entity from
those selected by the Owners and none meets such standards, terms or conditions. Arbitration may
be initiated by any Owner. The Owner initiating arbitration shall notify the Mortgagees of the
filing of a claim and demand in arbitration within five (5) days after filing such claim and
demand. Owners may not seek injunctive relief in the arbitration. The fees and costs of any

transcript fees,but excluding witness fees and attorneys' fees)shall be borne equally by the Owners involved
in the arbitration;provided that the arbitrator may include in its award any of the fees and costs of arbitration.
Any award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the Owners and judgment on such award shall be
entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. Any award including payment of delinquent
amounts shall include interest on such delinquent amounts at the rate set forth in Section 11.4. Where a
dispute involves both matters which are Arbitrable Disputes and matters which are not Arbitrable Disputes
which are not easily divisible, the dispute shall not be submitted to arbitration. The Owners reserve and may
exercise all rights and remedies available at law or in equity with respect to questions,
differences,disputes, claims and controversies not required to be arbitrated pursuant to this Article 12.
ARTICLE 13
UNAVOIDABLE DELAYS
No Owner shall be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation
created under or pursuant to this Agreement, other than an obligation requiring the payment of a
sum of money, if and as long as non-perfoiniance of such obligation shall be directly caused by
fire or other casualty,national emergency, governmental or municipal laws or restrictions,enemy action,
civil commotion, strikes, lockouts, unavailability of labor or materials to projects generally in the greater
39
W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
Chicago area, war or national defense preemptions, acts of God, energy shortages or similar
causes beyond the reasonable control of such Owner applicable to projects generally in the greater Chicago
area(other than inability to make payment of money)("Unavoidable Delay ") and the time limit for such
performance shall be extended for a period equal to the period of any such Unavoidable Delay. However,
if non-performance is due to an Unavoidable Delay which does not affect another Owner's self-
help remedy which otherwise may be exercised for such non-performance, then
notwithstanding such Unavoidable Delay such other Owner shall still be entitled to such remedy
with respect to those obligations to have been performed by the Owner unable to perform
(hereinafter in this Article 13 the "Non-Performing Owner") which are the subject of
Unavoidable Delay. The Non-Performing Owner shall notify the other Owners in writing of the
existence and nature of any Unavoidable Delay within a reasonable time after the onset of any such

the Depositary as provided in this Article 14. In the event of a taking of a temporary use of any space not
including Owned Facilities or affecting services described in Article 6, each Owner shall be
entitled to receive directly from the taking authority any Award resulting from such temporary taking
within its respective portion of the Project Site.
14.3 Taking of Only One Parcel. In the event of(A) a taking (other than a temporary
taking) of a part of the Commercial Property or (B) a taking (other than a temporary taking) of a part of the
Condominium Property or (C) a taking (other than a temporary taking) of a part of the Public Parking
Garage Property then, subject to the provisions of Section 14.6, the Owner of the portion of the Property in
which the taking occurred shall repair and restore the remainder of its portion of the Property to
form an architectural and functional whole. Such repair and restoration shall be commenced and pursued to
completion in as timely a manner as practicable under the circumstances and shall be at the sole cost and
expense of the Owner of the portion of the Property in which the taking occurred. Such Owner
shall be entitled to withdraw any Award paid to the Depositary by reason of such taking for
application to the cost of such repair and restoration in accordance with the provisions of Article 18 and to
retain any excess not required for such repair and restoration; provided, however, that the right of any
particular Owner to receive a portion of such excess, if any, shall be subject to the provisions of
40
W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
Section 21.12. If at any time any Owner so obligated to repair and restore such damage shall
not proceed diligently with any repair or restoration adversely and materially affecting an Easement
in favor of any other Owner or Owners or services to be furnished the other Owners under Article 6,
then (i) the Creditor Owners may give written notice to the Defaulting Owner specifying the
respect or respects in which such repair or restoration is not proceeding diligently and, if, upon
expiration of ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice, any such work of repair or restoration'
is still not proceeding diligently, then the Creditor Owners may perform such repair and
restoration and may take all appropriate steps to carry out such repair and restoration; or (ii) in an
Emergency Situation (other than an Emergency Situation involving solely an economic loss) the Creditor
Owners may immediately perform such repair or restoration and may take all appropriate steps to
carry out such repair and restoration. In performing such repair and restoration, the Creditor
Owners shall, in accordance with Article 18, be entitled to withdraw any Award and any other
monies held by the Depositary as a result of any such taking, for application to the cost and expense of
any such repair or restoration and shall also be entitled to reimbursement upon demand from the Defaulting
Owner for all costs and expenses incurred by the Creditor Owners in excess of the Award and other
monies. Repair and restoration under this Section 14.3 constitute Alterations, except that the
Owner performing repair and restoration shall not be required to obtain the other Owners'
consent if it would not otherwise be required under Article 15 and Section 15.1(E)(iii) shall not
apply.
14.4 Repair and Restoration by All Owners. In the event of a taking other than (A) a
temporary taking described in Section 14.2,(B)a taking described in Section 14.3, or (C) a taking of
all or substantially all of the Property or Project Site, then, subject to the provisions of
Section 14.6,the Owners shall cooperate to repair and restore the remainder of the Property in
accordance with plans and specifications(hereinafter described)jointly approved by the Involved Owners
(hereinafter defined) and their Mortgagees. Such repair and restoration shall be commenced
and pursued to completion in as timely a manner as practicable under the circumstances and
shall be performed on behalf of all of the Owners by a contractor or contractors j ointly selected by the
Owners whose portion of the Property are affected ("Involved Owners ") (subject to the approval of
their Mortgagees if the approximate cost of repair and restoration is greater than S500,000.00 (in 2007
Equivalent Dollars)), except as hereinafter provided. In the event the Involved Owners (with
approval of their Mortgagees, when required) fail to agree upon the selection of a contractor or
contractors,the Involved Owners shall request the advice of the Architect. If after receiving the
Architect's advice, the Involved Owners (with approval of their Mortgagees, when required)
cannot agree on a contractor or contractors, then the selection of a contractor or contractors shall
constitute an Arbitrable Dispute. If such repair and restoration is to be performed solely in one Owner's
portion of the Property,then the approval of the other Owners(and approval by such Owners'Mortgagees)
shall not be required with respect to the plans and specifications which do not materially affect the
other Owners and which do not constitute Alterations, nor shall the consent of the other Owners
(and approval by such Owners' Mortgagees)be required with respect to the selection of a contractor.The
plans and specifications for such repair and restoration shall be prepared by the Architect, unless
the Involved Owners shall otherwise agree in accordance with instructions given by all Involved Owners,
all subject to the approval of their Mortgagees. Such plans and specification shall provide for
repair and restoration of the remainder of the Property to form an architectural and functional
whole with such changes in the Property as shall be required by reason of such taking.If, as a result of such
taking, any Easements or covenants under this Agreement are extinguished or materially impaired,then
changes shall be made to provide for easements of access, ingress and egress and use of
Facilities and for furnishing of services comparable, to the extent commercially practicable, to
Easements created under Articles 2, 3 and 4 and for the furnishing of services under Article 6.
41
W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
The Architect will furnish to each of the Owners (but only if and to the extent such Owner's
approval is required)and the Mortgagees a set of such plans and specifications for their approval.Unless the
Involved Owners otherwise agree (subject to the approval of their Mortgagees, if the approximate
cost of the repair and restoration is greater than $500,000.00 (in 2007 Equivalent Dollars)),the
contractor or contractors shall work under the supervision of the Architect,and the Architect is hereby
authorized and directed to instruct the Depositary, from time to time,but only with the prior approval of the
Owner or Owners in whose portion of the Project Site such repair and restoration is being performed and the
Mortgagees,as such repair and restoration progresses,to disburse, in accordance with Article 18, any
Award paid to the Depositary for application to the cost and expense of such repair and
restoration.
14.5 Excess Award. The Award for any taking described in Section 14.4 shall first be
used to pay for the repair and restoration (including any demolition, repair or restoration under
Section 14.6). Any excess of the Award over the cost of repair and restoration then shall be
allocated to an Owner in the same ratio as the apportionment of the Award to parties with an
interest in such Owner's portion of the Project Site in any judicial or administrative proceedings in
connection with the taking bears to the apportionment of the Award to the parties with an
interest in the other Owners' portion of the Project Site; provided, however, that the right of the
Owners to receive any such excess shall be subject to the provisions of Section 21.12. If there is
no apportionment in any judicial or administrative proceeding, the Owners shall petition for such
apportionment,if possible. Otherwise,the Owners shall negotiate with one another in good faith to arrive at
an allocation to each Owner of such excess based upon the same general criteria that would have been
used in such proceedings to apportion the Award. A failure to reach agreement shall constitute
an Arbitrable Dispute.
14.6 Demolition. If, as a result of a taking (other than a temporary taking or a
taking described in Section 14.7), any Owner reasonably determines that its portion of the
Property no longer can be operated on an economically feasible basis,then such Owner shall not be obligated
to repair or restore its portion of the Property as may be required by Sections 14.3 and 14.4.
However,in such case,the Owner not repairing or restoring shall demolish, repair or restore its portion of the
Property to the extent, if any, as may be necessary to provide structural support for the other portions of
the Property. Such demolition, repair or restoration shall be deemed to be a repair or restoration
to which the provisions of Section 14.4 are applicable.
14.7 Allocation of Award. In the event of a taking of all or substantially all of
the Property or Project Site,the Award for such taking shall be allocated to the Owners in accordance with
the apportionment made in any final judicial or administrative proceedings in connection with the taking and
paid to the Owners in accordance with that apportionment;provided,however,that the right of the
Owners to receive any award and payment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 21.12.
14.8 Condominium. If at any time any portion of the Condominium Property
is submitted to the Condominium Act, then, with respect to the Condominium Property only, the
provisions of this Article 14 are subject to the applicable provisions of the Condominium Act.
ARTICLE 15
ALTERATIONS
42
W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
15.1 Permitted Alterations.
(A) An Owner (hereinafter in this Article 15, "Altering Owner") may, at any time,
at such Altering Owner's sole cost and expense,make additions, improvements or alterations(here-inafter in
this Article 15, "Alterations") to such Altering Owner's portion of the Property, provided that
such Alterations comply with all of the provisions of this Article 15. Alterations shall include
relocation of Facilities, which shall be permitted, subject to compliance with the conditions set
forth in this Article 15. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.9, replacement of Facilities may be
made by an Altering Owner without consent of other Owners. The provisions of this Article 15
governing Alterations do not negate or diminish other provisions of this Agreement having to
do with additions, improvements or alterations expressly required or permitted in Articles 5,
6, 7, 10 and 14, which are governed by such provisions unless also designated in such
Articles as "Alterations" to be governed by this Article 15.
(B)Alterations shall not be made without the prior written consent of the other Owners if
such Alterations will:
(i) during their performance or upon their completion, unreasonably diminish
the benefits afforded to such other Owners by an Easement or
unreasonably interrupt such other Owners' use or enjoyment of any
Easement;
(ii) during their performance or upon their completion, degrade or
diminish services to the other Owners under Article 6;
(iii) consist of drilling, coring, chopping, cutting or otherwise making
any opening or hole into any Structural Supports that serve any
Improvements other than the Improvements of the Altering Owner;
or
(C) If, at any time,the Altering Owner proposes to make any Alterations which require or
could possibly require (in the Altering Owner's reasonable opinion or the reasonable opinion of
any other Owner) the consent of other Owners as expressly provided in this Article 15, then
before commencing or proceeding with such Alterations, the Altering Owner, at its own cost, shall deliver
to such other Owners a copy of the plans and specifications showing the proposed Alterations
and a reference to this Section 15.1.An Altering Owner may also at any time request confirmation from the
other Owners that their consent is not required with respect to proposed Alterations if such
Alterations do not require their consent, and such confirmation shall be given within ten (10) business days
after the request is made. A failure to respond by the expiration of such ten (10) business day period shall
be deemed a confirmation. If such other Owners consent to such Alterations or do not respond
within thirty (30) days after receipt of such plans and specifications, the Altering Owner may
proceed to make its Alterations substantially in accordance with such plans and specifications. The Owners
whose consent is requested will not unreasonably delay their response, having in mind the scope and
complexity of the proposed Alterations, and in any event shall respond to the Altering Owner
within thirty (30) days after receipt from the Altering Owner of such plans and specifications
showing proposed Alterations. If, in the good faith opinion of the other Owners, the Altering
Owner has violated or will violate the provisions of Section 15.1 (A) or (B), then such Owners (the
"Objecting Party") believing a violation exists shall notify the Altering Owner of its opinion that
the Alterations or proposed Alterations violate or will violate the provisions of Section 15.1 (A) or (B),
and shall specify the respect or respects in which its provisions are or will be violated. If an
43
W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
Objecting Party in good faith asserts a violation of Section 15.1 (A) or (B), then the Altering
Owner shall not commence with the Alterations or proceed with the Alterations, if already
commenced, until the matter has been resolved (except in an Emergency Situation). In addition to any
other legal or equitable rights or remedies to which the Objecting Party may be entitled by reason of an
Altering Owner's violation or likely violation of the provisions of this Section 15.1, the Objecting
Party shall be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief to enjoin any such violation.
(D) If any matter arises between any two (2) or more Owners with respect to
whether any Alterations or proposed Alterations violate the provisions of Section 15.1 (A) or(B), then any
Owner may submit such matter to the Architect for its advice, and the Architect shall render its
opinion whether the Alterations or proposed Alterations violate the provisions of Section 15.1 (A)or (B).
(E) The Owners, in making Alterations, shall (i) perform all work in a good
and workmanlike manner and in accordance with good construction practices, (ii) comply with
all Laws, including, without limitation, the City of Elgin Building Code, and (iii) comply
with all of the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Each Owner shall, to the extent
reasonably practicable, make Alterations within its portions of the Property in such a manner
and at times so as to minimize any noise, vibrations, particulates and dust infiltration or other
disturbance which would disturb an occupant or occupants of the other portions of the
Property, but such Owner shall not be liable in any event for damages as a result of any such
disturbance (as opposed to physical damageto property) normally incidental to construction. The foregoing
restriction on damages shall not restrict an Owner's right to seek and obtain injunctive relief from
unreasonable disturbances, which shall not include normal construction activities in a mixed-use
development. An Altering Owner may perform work during any hours permitted by applicable Law.
However, if requested by an Owner who would otherwise suffer unreasonable disturbance and who
pays all costs associated with work at times other than normal business hours, including overtime and delay
costs,the Altering Owner shall not unreasonably refuse to perform work outside normal business hours.
15.2 Property Permits. Applications for building permits to make Alterations shall be
filed and processed by the Altering Owner without the joinder of the other Owners in such
application, unless the City of Elgin or other government agency having jurisdiction requires
joinder of the other Owners. An Altering Owner shall send copies of any building permits to another
Owner at such other Owner's request. If joinder by the other Owners not making Alterations is so required,
such Owners shall cooperate (at the expense of the Altering Owner) in executing such application, permit or
other instruments as may be necessary to obtain the building permit; provided, however, the Altering
Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Owners from and against any and all loss,
liability, claims, judgments, costs and expenses arising out of the other Owners' execution of the
application, permit or other instrument. If an Owner fails to execute such application, permit or
instruments when required to do so, the Altering Owner is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact
of such other Owner (such power of attorney being coupled with an interest) to execute such application,
penuit or instruments on behalf of such other Owner.
15.3 No Liens Against Other Portions of the Property. An Owner performing
any work required, provided for or permitted under this Agreement shall include in any construction
contract a provision pursuant to which the contractor recognizes the separate ownership of the
portions of the Property and agrees that any lien rights which the contractor or subcontractors have under the
44
W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
Mechanics' Lien Act shall only be enforceable against the portion of the Property or Project Site
owned by the Altering Owner.

financing of a Condominium Unit or other transaction involving a Condominium Unit, the
Condominium Association may request an Estoppel Certificate on behalf of a Condominium Unit Owner
and such Estoppel Certificate need only include the items under (B) and (F) [and in the case of
(F), as to the Condominium Unit only]); and Estoppel Certificates requested of the
Condominium Property Owner as to that portion of the Condominium Property submitted to the
Condominium Act shall be given by the Condominium Association and, to the maximum extent
permitted by Law, shall bind all Condominium Unit Owners. If the requesting party is a
Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee, the Owner on whose property it holds or intends to hold a Mortgage
will be deemed the "requesting Owner. " If the requesting party is a prospective transferee of
an Owner, such Owner will be deemed the "requesting Owner."

provisions of this Agreement.The Depositary shall be appointed by the Owners jointly, and shall be one of
the then five(5)largest banks or trust companies(measured in terms of capital funds)with principal offices

own negligence. The Depositary's reliance upon advice of independent competent counsel shall be
conclusive evidence of good faith, but shall not be the only manner in which good faith may be
shown. The Depositary shall have no affirmative obligation to prosecute a determination of the
amount of, or to effect the collection of, any insurance proceeds or condemnation Award or
Awards unless the Depositary shall have been given an express written authorization from the
Owners;provided that if only one Owner is entitled to insurance proceeds or condemnation Award or
Awards, then that Owner may authorize the Depositary to so proceed. In addition, the

W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
17.3 Interest on Deposited Funds. The Depositary shall have no obligation to
pay interest on any monies held by it unless the Depositary shall have given an express

from any of the Owners given to the Depositary and to the other Owners, shall purchase with such monies,
to the extent feasible, negotiable United States Government securities payable to bearer and
maturing within one (1) year from the date of purchase, except insofar as it would, in the good
faith judgment of the Depositary, be impracticable to invest in such securities by reason of any
disbursement of such monies which the Depositary expects to make shortly thereafter, and the
Depositary shall hold such securities in trust in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.Any interest paid or received by the Depositary on monies or securities held in trust, and any gain
on the redemption or sale of any securities, shall be added to the monies or securities held in trust by the

received by the Depositary pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be mingled
with the Depositary's own funds and shall be held by the Depositary in trust for the uses and purposes
provided for in this Agreement.

with either a court of competent jurisdiction or with a bank or trust company in Chicago,
Illinois, which qualifies under Section 17.1.

ARCHITECT
19.1 Appointment of Architect. The Owners shall jointly appoint a finn consisting of
both architects and engineers (or a firm of architects and a firm of engineers agreeing to act
jointly)experienced in the design and operation of developments similar to the Property to serve under and
pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement(the"Architect").The Architect shall, upon its
appointment, execute an agreement with the Owners substantially in the form of The American
Institute of Architects' ("AIA") then-standard fonn agreement between owners and architects for
designated services with such modifications as are mutually acceptable to the Architect and the
Owners, which agreement shall incorporate those services and modifications necessary to
implement the provisions of this Agreement and shall provide that the Owners may cause the then-
serving Architect to be replaced without cause upon thirty(30)days'prior written notice. The Owners
jointly may replace the Architect for any reason. The Mortgagees shall have the right to approve
the appointment of the Architect in the first instance or any replacement of the Architect. Any
Owner also may cause any Architect to be replaced, and the other Owners shall be deemed to have
consented to such replacement,if it demonstrates to the other Owners that such then-serving Architect has
failed to perform its duties diligently or competently. If all Owners do not jointly desire to replace
the Architect,then the Owner desiring replacement of the Architect shall serve notice upon the other Owners
and the Mortgagees requesting the removal of the then-serving Architect, which notice shall set forth
with specificity the respect or respects-in which the Architect shall have failed to perform
diligently or competently. If, in the opinion of the Owners or Mortgagees receiving such notice,
the Owner desiring to replace the Architect is not entitled to require the appointment of a new Architect
pursuant to this Section 19.1,an Owner or Mortgagee receiving such notice and objecting to the
appointment of a new Architect shall notify the other Owners and Mortgagees of its objection in
writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice from the requesting Owner. If, within
ten (10) days after receipt by the Owner desiring to replace the Architect of such objection,
the Owners do not resolve their differences (subject to the approval of their Mortgagees), then
the dispute shall constitute an Arbitrable Dispute. The Architect sought to be replaced may give
evidence or otherwise participate in the arbitration proceeding,but that proceeding shall not serve any
purpose other than the purpose of determining whether an Owner is entitled to have the Architect
replaced. Any Architect shall have the right to resign at any time upon not less than ninety
(90) days' prior written notice to the Owners and the Mortgagees.

Any Owner may designate a different address or additional addresses from time to time, provided such
Owner has given at least ten (10) days' prior notice of such change of address. Failure to give
notices to an Owner's counsel identified above shall not render notice to such Owner or
Mortgagee invalid or ineffective. If any. Owner shall cease to be the "Owner" of its respective

change of address, then notices may be sent to any one of the following: (i) to the last Owner of record

W:\WORK\34060\MASTER-Easement and Operating Agreement Fountain Square v10-Clean.docean.doc
disclosed to the Owner giving notice, (ii) to "Owner of Record" at the street address for that

Agreement, all notices relating to (i) defaults or claims of default under this Agreement, (ii)

or United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.
20.2 Multiple Owners. If at any time the interest or estate of the Commercial
Property Owner, the Condominium Property Owner or the Public Parking Garage Property Owner
shall be owned by more than one Person (hereinafter collectively referred to as "multiple owners"), the
multiple owners shall give to the other Owners a written notice, executed and acknowledged by all
of the multiple owners, in a form proper for recording, which shall (a) designate one Person,
having an address in the State of Illinois to whom shall be given, as agent for all of the multiple
owners, all notices thereafter given to the multiple owners, and (b) designate such Person as agent for the
service of process in any action or proceeding, whether before a court or by arbitration, involving
the determination or enforcement of any rights or obligations under this Agreement. At any time the
Condominium Property or any portion thereof has been submitted to and remains subject to the
Condominium Act, the Condominium Association is hereby designated as agent for all of the
Condominium Unit Owners for the purposes of clause (a) and (b) of the immediately preceding
sentence. Thereafter, until such designation is revoked by written notice given by all of the
multiple owners of their successors in interest, any notice, and any summons, complaint or other
legal process or notice given in connection with an arbitration proceeding (which such
summonses, complaints, legal processes and notices given in connection with arbitration
proceedings are hereafter in this Article 20 collectively referred to as "legal process"), given to, or served
upon, such agent shall be deemed to have been given to, or served upon, each and every one of the multiple
owners at the same time that such notice or legal process is given to,or served upon,such agent. If the multiple
owners shall fail to designate in writing one such agent to whom all notices are to be given and upon whom all
legal process is to be served,or if such designation shall be revoked and a new agent is not designated,then any
notice or legal process may be given to, or served upon, any one of the multiple owners as agent for
all of the multiple owners and such notice or legal process shall be deemed to have been given
to, or served upon, each and every one of the multiple owners at the same time that such notice or legal
process is given to, or served upon, any one of them, and each of the multiple owners shall be deemed to have
appointed each of the other multiple owners as agent for the receipt of notices and the service
of legal process. The term "multiple owners" as used in this Section 20.2 shall not include Condominium
Unit Owners at any time the Condominium Property or any portion thereof is subject to the
Condominium Act; provided, however, that notice to or from the Condominium Unit Owners
shall be governed by Section 21.13(A).

required with respect to any such abandonment.

created under Article 11.
