We had been contacted previously to extend the lease to match the term of the new financing for the Apartments. The Commission agreed to and approved the requested extension of the lease. After further financing applications made by Kimberly - Clark, the company has learned that it would be advantageous to their financing program that their interest in the parking lot be an easement instead of a lease. These documents convert the lease to an easement and extend the term of the easement to the same term as the previously approved lease extension. The lease extensions were held in our file pending the completion of Kimberly - Clark's financing application. The lease extensions will be disposed of and replaced with these documents. The Commission's approval is requested. EASEMENT AGREEMENT THIS EASEMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement ") is entered into as of the day of , 2011, by and between the CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT, acting by and through the SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION (the "Commission "), and STEPHENSON MILL ASSOCIATES, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company ( "SMA ").

SMA shall at all times, at its expense, keep and maintain or cause to be kept and maintained the Easement Area in good, clean and safe condition and repair including, without limitation, the making of all necessary structural repairs and/or replacements. The Commission shall not be required to furnish any services or facilities or to make any improvements, repairs or alterations in or to the Easement Area. 4. Taxes. 4.01. Definitions. "Real Estate Taxes" means and includes all ad valorem real property taxes and assessments levied upon or with respect to (or, if any such levy is upon or with respect to a parcel of real estate and improvements thereon of which the Commission Property is a part, then the portion thereof properly allocable and relating to) the Commission Property, or any part thereof, and all taxes, levies and charges which may be levied or imposed by any governmental authority in replacement of, in lieu of, or in addition to ad valorem real property taxes, in whole or in part, including but not limited to a state or local option tax designed for property tax relief purposes, or a license or franchise fee measured by rents or other income received by the Commission from the Commission Property, or otherwise measured or based upon the Commission's or SMA's interest in the Commission Property as owner /grantor and grantee, respectively. "Taxes" means all Real Estate Taxes, personal property taxes, special and general assessments, sewer service charges and other governmental impositions and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever, extraordinary as well as ordinary, which may be assessed, levied, or become due and payable with respect to, or become a lien on, the Commission Property, or any part thereof or appurtenance thereto. 4.02. Payment of Taxes and Assessments. SMA shall pay and discharge punctually, as and when the same shall become due and payable, all Taxes which are due and payable with respect to the Commission Property, or any part thereof, or any appurtenances or equipment owned by or leased to SMA thereon or therein during any calendar year. SMA shall be deemed to have complied with the covenants of this Section 4.02 if payment of Taxes shall have been made either within any period allowed by applicable law before the same shall become a lien upon the Commission Property; or, if the Taxes constitute a lien before it is due and payable, then, before any penalty or interest is assessed with respect thereto. SMA shall send to the Commission satisfactory evidence of payment of any applicable Taxes and any other payment hereunder if requested to do so by the Commission in writing. 2 4.03. Ristht to Contest. SMA shall have the right to contest all Taxes referred to in Section 4.01 by appropriate legal proceedings, or in such other manner as it may deem appropriate. Such legal proceedings shall include any and all appropriate appeals or other proceedings and appeals from orders, judgments or decrees so long as the same are sufficient to prevent a foreclosure sale. SMA shall conduct all such proceedings at its expense. The Commission shall execute all documents reasonably required for such proceedings. SMA shall pay to the Commission any costs or expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Commission in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SMA shall pay any such Taxes prior to the time the Commission Property or any part thereof shall become subject to sale upon foreclosure of the lien therefor. 4.04. Distribution of Overpayment of Taxes. If there shall be any refunds or rebates on account of Taxes paid by SMA under the provisions of this Agreement, such refund or rebate shall belong to the Commission, regardless of when such is received by the Commission. Any refunds so received by the Commission shall be deemed to be received by the Commission in trust for SMA and shall be paid to SMA forthwith. The Commission will, upon request of SMA, sign any receipts which may be necessary to secure the payment of any such refund or rebate. 4.05. Separate Assessments. Upon the request of SMA at any time, the Commission will make application individually, or will join in SMA's application, and will execute such instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to obtain separate tax assessments for the Commission Property. 5. Insurance. 5.01. Liability Insurance. SMA shall maintain and keep in force at all times, with an insurance company or companies licensed to do business in the State of Indiana, selected by SMA and acceptable to the Commission (i) comprehensive general public liability insurance covering any and all claims for injuries to or death of persons or damage to property occurring in or upon the Commission Property and having initial minimum levels of combined coverage for bodily injury (including death resulting therefrom) and property damage, including umbrella coverage, of not less than Five Million and No /100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), for each occurrence and on an annual aggregate basis and (ii) workers' compensation and employer's liability insurance in such amounts as shall be required by law from time to time, but in no event less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) per accident. SMA's comprehensive general public liability insurance shall have extensions of coverage to include blanket contractual liability for written and oral contracts, broad form property damage and premises operations (including explosion, collapse and underground coverage). Each policy referred to in this Section 5.01 shall name the Commission as an additional insured. Such liability insurance may be provided by a single policy or combination of underlying policies, with the balance provided by an excess or umbrella liability policy; provided such excess or umbrella insurance complies with all of the other requirements of this Agreement with respect to such insurance. 5.02. Property Insurance. During the Term, SMA shall keep any buildings now or hereafter located on the Commission Property insured with an insurance company licensed to 3 do business in the State of Indiana, selected by SMA and acceptable to the Commission for the benefit of SMA and the Commission, as their respective interests may appear, against loss or damage by fire or other casualty (including earthquake, to the extent customary and available on reasonable terms) covered by a customary extended coverage endorsement, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100 %) of the replacement cost thereof and providing for and having a deductible in an amount not exceeding Twenty Five Thousand and Dollars ($25,000.00). Notwithstanding the foregoing, SMA shall at all times maintain such insurance in an amount sufficient to meet all co- insurance requirements under such insurance policy. The Commission shall not carry any insurance concurrent in coverage and contributing in the event of loss with any insurance required to be furnished by SMA hereunder, if the effect of such separate insurance would be to reduce the protection or the payment to be made under SMA's insurance. 5.03. Proof of Insurance. SMA shall deliver copies of insurance certificates evidencing all coverage required by this Section 5 to the Commission not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any current insurance coverage. Each such policy referred to in this Section 5 shall contain a provision providing that the policy shall not be canceled, not renewed or materially amended without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Commission or SMA, as applicable. 5.04. Adjustment in Insurance. If by reason of changed conditions or by reason of experience, SMA reasonably determines that the insurance amounts referred to in the foregoing Section 5.01 are inadequate, SMA shall, at the request of the Commission, increase the amounts of such insurance carried to the extent appropriate for a like facility under like circumstances. In the event that it shall become customary for a grantee of a similar easement to maintain types of insurance coverage other than those required to be maintained by SMA under this Section, SMA shall maintain such other types of insurance coverage upon the written request of the Commission so long as such types of insurance coverage can be obtained by SMA at a reasonable cost. 5.05. Waiver of Subrogation. SMA and the Commission waive all rights against each other and against those for whom the other is legally liable for all losses covered by insurance provided under this Section 5 to the extent the upper limits of such insurance are adequate to cover such losses, it being the intent of this provision to allocate all risk of such loss to such insurance: Provided, however, that this waiver shall not be effective if it would preclude or prejudice the right of SMA or the Commission to recover under such insurance policy. If the policies of insurance provided for under this Section 5 require an endorsement to provide for continued coverage where there is a waiver of subrogation, SMA will cause such policies to be so endorsed. 5.06. Insurance Proceeds. The proceeds of any and all policies of insurance upon the improvements on the Commission Property maintained pursuant to Section 5.02 remaining after any required payment to any mortgagee shall be used as a trust fund toward the repair, reconstruction, replacement or rebuilding of said improvements. Accordingly, all such policies of insurance shall provide that all proceeds payable at any time under such policies shall be paid to the Commission for the benefit of the Commission, SMA and any mortgagee. All such insurance proceeds deposited with the Commission remaining after any required payments to any mortgagee shall be disbursed in the manner and upon the conditions customarily 4 applicable to construction loans for the payment of the costs of repairing, reconstructing, replacing and restoring any improvements. If the insurance proceeds shall exceed the cost of repairing or rebuilding the improvements, the trustee shall pay the balance remaining after payment of such costs shall be the property of the Commission. The Commission, SMA and any mortgagee shall cooperate fully in collecting such insurance proceeds and will execute and deliver any and all proofs, receipts, releases and other instruments whatsoever as may be necessary or proper for such purpose. 5.07. General Provisions. In the event SMA shall fail or refuse to obtain any insurance required by this Section 5, the Commission, in addition to any other right the Commission may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, shall have the right to obtain such insurance. The cost of such insurance shall constitute a debt payable to the Commission upon demand of SMA by the Commission. Mechanics' Liens, Indemnification, Nonliability. 6.01. Mechanics' Liens. SMA shall promptly after the filing thereof discharge of record, at SMA's expense, any mechanic's, materialmen's or other lien, or notice of intention to file any such lien, filed against the Commission Property or any part thereof or interest therein; provided that SMA shall have the right to contest the validity of any such lien in any manner permitted by law so long as SMA (i) obtains title insurance, an indemnity, bond or other assurance or security reasonably satisfactory to the Commission, and (ii) shall thereafter diligently proceed to cause such lien or notice of intention to file a lien to be removed and discharged. If SMA shall fail to discharge, or to seek to discharge, any such lien or notice of intention to file a lien, then the Commission may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same, either by paying the amount claimed to be due, or by procuring the discharge of such lien by depositing in court a bond for the amount claimed or in such other manner as is or may be permitted by law, and SMA shall reimburse and indemnify the Commission with respect thereto. 6.02. Indemnification by SMA. Regardless of whether or not caused or alleged to be caused by the several, joint, concurrent or comparative negligence, but not sole negligence, of the Commission, SMA shall, at its sole cost and expense, indemnify and save harmless the Commission, against and from any and all claims, damages, losses, fines, penalties, liability, costs and /or expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (i) SMA's possession, use or control of the Commission Property or any part thereof; (ii) any condition of the Commission Property or any part thereof, (iii) any breach or default on the part of SMA in the performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of SMA to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iv) any willful or negligent act or omission of SMA, or any of its agents, contractors, licensees, subtenants or its or their servants, employees, customers or invitees, or (v) any accident, injury to or death of persons or damage to property whatsoever in or about the Commission Property or any part thereof; and should any claim, action or proceeding shall be brought against the Commission by reason of any such claim, damage and/or liability, SMA, upon written notice from such party, shall defend such action or proceeding with counsel acceptable to such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while the SMA Property is subject to a mortgage insured or held by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ( "HUD "), any liability of SMA under this Agreement with respect to the Commission Property is limited to "surplus cash" as defined in the Regulatory Agreement for Multifamily Housing Projects by and between SMA and HUD. 6.03. Nonliability. The Commission shall not be responsible or liable to SMA, or any person, firm or corporation claiming by, through or under SMA for, or by reason of, (i) any injury or damage to the improvements or any equipment or apparatus or appliances on the Commission Property, (ii) any failure or defect of water, heat, electric light or power supply, or of any apparatus or appliance in connection therewith, or for any injury or loss or damage to person or property resulting therefrom, or (iii) any injury, loss or damage to any persons or to the Commission Property, or to any property of SMA or of any other person, contained in or upon the Commission Property, caused by or arising or resulting from the electric wiring, or plumbing, water, steam, sewerage, or other pipes, or by or from any machinery or apparatus, or by or from any defect in or leakage, bursting or breaking of any of the foregoing the same, or by or from, any leakage, running or overflow of water or sewerage in any part of said premises, or by or from any other defect or other cause whatsoever (other than any such injury, failure, defect, loss or damage caused by the willful or negligent act or omission of the Commission or its respective agents, contractors, servants or employees). 7. Events of Default. 7.01. Definition. SMA's failure to perform any covenant or obligation herein contained and the continuance of such failure for a period of ninety (90) days after notice in writing to SMA from the Commission specifying the nature of such failure, and provided the Commission shall not cure said failure as provided in Section 7.03 if not remedied as hereinafter provided, shall be deemed an "Event of Default ". 7.02. Extensions. If the Commission gives notice at any time of a default of a nature that cannot be cured with the ninety (90) day period provided in Section 7.01, then such default shall not be deemed an Event of Default so long as SMA, following notice from the Commission, proceeds to cure the default as soon as reasonably possible and continues to take all reasonable steps necessary to complete the same within a period of time which, under all prevailing circumstances, shall be reasonable. In addition, no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred if and so long as SMA shall be delayed in or prevented from curing the same within the applicable cure period by a reason beyond SMA's reasonable control and not avoidable by reasonable diligence. 7.03. Remedies. Upon any Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01, or at any time thereafter so long as the same is not cured, the Commission may cure any such Event of Default and collect the cost thereof from SMA upon demand. In addition to any other rights that SMA or the Commission may have pursuant to this Agreement, if the other fails or refuses to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument or instruments or to take any other action (other than an action solely involving the payment of any sum of money) required to effectuate provisions of this Agreement within the time period required by this Agreement or, if no time period therefor is specified in this Agreement, within any reasonable time period specified in any request from the other party, then from and after the date fifteen (15) days after the date of delivery of a final written demand to the other party requesting such execution, acknowledgment 31 and delivery or other action, the requesting party shall be entitled to specific performance, declaratory relief, or such other remedies at law or equity which may be appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement. The foregoing shall not be construed to give the Commission a right to terminate this Agreement upon the existence of an Event of Default. 8. Commission's Right of Entry. SMA shall permit the Commission and its authorized representatives, upon reasonable, prior notice, to enter the Commission Property for the purpose of (a) inspecting the same, or (b) performing any work on the Commission Property that may be necessary by reason of SMA's failure to perform any such work or to commence the same within ten (10) days after written notice from the Commission (or without notice in case of emergency). Nothing herein shall imply any duty on the part of the Commission to do any such work, and performance thereof by the Commission shall not constitute a waiver of SMA's default in failing to perform the same. The Commission shall not be liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business or other damage to SMA or any Permittee by reason of performing any such work and the obligations of SMA under this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. 9. Option to Purchase. 9.01. Terms of Option. The Commission grants to SMA the right and option to purchase the Commission Property on the following terms and conditions: (a) The option shall be exercised only upon SMA's written notice to the Commission of the exercise of such option.

(c) The closing of the purchase and sale of the Commission Property shall occur on a date determined by the agreement of SMA and the Commission, which date shall not be later than thirty (30) days after the date of SMA's notice to the Commission of the exercise of the option.

Specific Performance. SMA shall be entitled to specific performance to enforce the provisions of this Section 9, it being agreed that money damages is not an adequate remedy for any breach thereof. 10. Covenants Run With the Land. It is intended that the covenants, easements, agreements, promises and duties of each party, as set forth in this Agreement, shall be construed as covenants and not as conditions and that, to the fullest extent legally possible, all such covenants shall run with and be enforceable against both the covenantor and the land or constitute equitable servitudes as between the parcel of the respective covenantor, as the servient tenement, and the parcel of the respective covenantee, as the dominant tenement. IL Entire Agreement. SMA and the Commission agree that there are no covenants, representations, warranties, agreements, or conditions, either expressed or implied, which in any way affect, form a part of, or otherwise relate to this Agreement, except for those expressly set forth herein.
