relatives, heirs, successors and assigns, and any of their respective affiliates, past, present and

or expenses incurred by on behalf of the Board to investigate or remediate all Existing
Environmental Conditions at the Property.
7. Expiration of Indemnity. The cross-indemnifications set forth in Paragraphs 3
and 4 above shall automatically terminate five (5) years from the date of Closing on the Property

responsible Indemnitor agrees to promptly perform (or cause to be promptly performed) the
environmental investigations and corrective actions necessary to complete Remediation of any
Environmental Condition at the Property covered by the Indemnitor' s indemnification in
Paragraphs 3 or 4, to the extent required by IDEM and any other governmental authorities with
jurisdiction over the Hazardous Materials and contamination at the Property. As used herein,
"Remediation" means (i) performing environmental property assessment activities (which may
include taking soil borings and the installation, sampling and maintaining of groundwater
monitoring wells and/or other monitoring points and related activities) on the Property to
complete an assessment of the Property as required by IDEM or other governmental authorities
or any court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) performing corrective action to diligently remediate
such Hazardous Materials consistent with the rules, regulations and requirements of IDEM or
other governmental authorities.
(b) Following any Remediation performed pursuant to Paragraph 8(a), such Remediation
shall be considered complete upon the issuance of a letter or similar document from IDEM or
other governmental authority stating that no further action is necessary concerning the Property
(a "NFA Letter"). The Parties agree that for purposes of this agreement, a NFA Letter includes
but is not limited to a Comfort Letter, Site Status Letter or equivalent letter issued by the Indiana
Finance Authority's Brownfields Program and/or EPA. Upon termination of the Remediation,
the Indemnitor shall decommission any remaining monitoring points and other corrective action
equipment and restore the surface of the Property affected by the decommissioning to
substantially the same condition which existed prior to such decommissioning in accordance
with the rules and regulations of IDEM or other applicable government authority. The parties
agree that the Final Comfort Letter addressed to Millennium Parcel LLC shall not constitute a
NF A Letter for purposes of this Agreement.
( c) During any Remediation, the Parties shall work together and take reasonable steps
not to disrupt the business of Millennium Parcel.
9. Exposure Controls. Millennium Parcel acknowledges that in the Commission's
performance of any remediation required under this Agreement, the Commission may propose
applying corrective action standards (including, without limitation, risk-based corrective action
standards) and/or the use of exposure controls, which are predicated on the assumptions that (i)
the Property will be used for commercial/industrial purposes; and (ii) no water wells used to
supply water for human consumption, farming or irrigation will be installed or used on the
4
Property. Subject to the foregoing, Millennium Parcel acknowledges and agrees to accept any
such real property covenants, restrictions or environmental notices that are required or permitted
by IDEM or any other applicable governmental authority as part of a particular remediation plan
to address Hazardous Materials contamination (collectively, a "Restrictive Covenant"). The
parties agree that such Restrictive Covenant shall be set forth in an appropriate instrument
approved by IDEM or other applicable government authority to be recorded in the public records
as part of any remediation plan that the Commission formally proposes to address Hazardous
Materials at the Property.
10. Access. Millennium Parcel shall cooperate in allowing the Commission and its
agents and contractors access to and use of the Property at all reasonable times to enable the
Commission and its agents and contractors to obtain reasonable and necessary soil and
groundwater data and to fully implement any remediation the Board is required to perform under
this Agreement. This license to access the Property shall continue for as long as is necessary to
complete the remediation. The Commission will provide Millennium Parcel with reasonable
prior notice of its access to the Property. Millennium Parcel will take due care to ensure that its
agents, employees, and invitees are aware of the location of the monitoring wells in order to
avoid damage thereto and potential exacerbation of any Hazardous Materials.
11. Use. Millennium Parcel intends to construct a structure on the Property which
may be used for industrial, commercial, or warehousing activities and which will not be
inhabited by employees or other individuals on a regular basis such that IDEM would require
evaluation of potential vapor intrusion risks in the structure (the "Permitted Use"). Millennium
Parcel specifically agrees the Property shall not be used for residential activities or for activities
inconsistent with the Permitted Use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Millennium Parcel may
lease the Property to third-parties as long as the lessee's use is consistent with the Permitted Use.
In the event that Millennium Parcel constructs a structure on the Property that will be inhabited
by employees or other individuals on a regular basis such that IDEM requires potential vapor
intrusion risks to be evaluated and/or mitigated, the cost of these activities shall be borne solely
by Millennium Parcel,
it being understood that if vapor intrusion risks are evaluated and, if
necessary, mitigated consistent with the rules, regulations and requirements ofIDEM or other
governmental authorities, such uses thereafter shall be considered Permitted Uses.
12. Sampling and Tests by Millennium Parcel. Millennium Parcel agrees that it shall
not, directly or indirectly, either itself or through its agents, employees or contractors, conduct,
order, or permit any sampling, tests or inspections of any kind relating to the possible presence of
Hazardous Materials contamination of any soil, water, aquifer or other environmental media in,
on, or under, or in the vicinity of the Property during the term of the indemnifications under
paragraphs 3 and 4 unless required to do so by law. This paragraph notwithstanding, Millennium
Parcel may permit inspections in an emergency, but must notify the Commission immediately
after such inspection. If Millennium Parcel desires that any sampling, testing, or inspections not
required by law be performed on or under the Property, Millennium Parcel shall notify the
Commission in writing of such desire and the basis for its request. The Commission may
thereafter, in its reasonable sole discretion, determine whether and how to (i) permit Millennium
Parcel to perform such sampling, testing or inspections; or (ii) conduct any sampling, testing or
5
inspections, using such environmental consultants of the Commission's choice, and provide split
samples for independent analysis at Millennium Parcel's expense.
13. Comfort Letter. Prior to obtaining the Property, Millennium Parcel is obtaining
the Final Comfort Letter detailing Millennium Parcel's liability protection for pre-existing
contamination at the Property and the continuing obligations Millennium Parcel must satisfy to
maintain its BFPP liability protections under CERCLA and analogous Indiana Laws.
Millennium Parcel shall be responsible for implementing the reasonable steps set forth in
Comfort Letter. The parties agree that notwithstanding the Comfort Letter, the indemnifications
set forth in Paragraphs 3 and 4 shall continue to apply to the Property.
14. Assignment of Agreement. This Agreement will bind all parties and their
respective successors. Upon written notice to the Commission, Millennium Parcel may
collaterally assign its rights under this Agreement and may assign its rights under this Agreement
to any future interest holder or lessee in the property provided that:
1. The proposed assignee assumes in writing all the obligations of Millennium
Parcel under this Agreement; and
11. Within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice of the proposed assignment the
Commission does not reasonably object to the assignment.
15. No Third Party Benefit. This Agreement is not intended to inure to the benefit of
any third party, against whom the Board reserves any and all rights, claims and defenses.
16. Notices. All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been given and served when delivered in person, by Federal Express,
UPS or similar overnight carrier, or by depositing in the United States mail, postage pre-paid to

pipes, duct banks, security equipment, or other property or fixtures of any kind on, across, or above
the Easement Parcel.

WITNESS ETH:
WHEREAS, Ivy Tower Corporation and the City of South Bend entered into a Reciprocal
Easement Agreement & License In Land dated August 28, 2000, and recorded on September 1,
2000, as Document No. 0042016 in the Office of the St. Joseph County, Indiana Recorder (the
"Easement Agreement") to provide certain rights and responsibilities related to the Ivy Tower
Parcel and the City Parcel as such terms are defined in the Easement Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Easement Agreement as set forth in this
Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Ivy Tower and the City agree
as follows:
1. Paragraph 5 of the Easement Agreement is amended by inserting the following
immediately after the second sentence of Paragraph 5(a): "Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, Ivy Tower may also use Easement Area C-1 for the installation, use, and maintenance of
utility lines, pipes, duct banks, and security equipment below the grade of the surface of Easement
Area C-1 as such surface existed on September _, 2015, provided that the City has first approved
the plans for installing any such elements, which approval the City may grant or withhold as
determined in its sole discretion. The parties agree that Ivy Tower will have no right under this
agreement to install any above-grade utility lines, pipes, duct banks, security equipment, or other
property or fixtures of any kind on, across, or above Easement Area C-1."
2. Paragraph 5 of the Easement Agreement is further amended by deleting
subparagraph (c) in its entirety and inserting the following in its place: "(c) Ivy Tower will, at its
sole expense, maintain and repair Easement Area C-1 in a condition suitable for its purposes under
this agreement. In the event Ivy Tower desires to terminate any of its easement rights over
Easement Area C-1, Ivy Tower will notify the City of such termination and will turn over Easement
1
Area C-1 to the City in good repair and condition, as such condition may be approved in the City's
reasonable discretion, which approval shall be deemed provided by the City unless Ivy Tower is
notified otherwise within sixty (60) days of the later of (i) the City's receipt of Ivy Tower's
termination notice or (ii) the effective date of such termination. In the event Ivy Tower disturbs
or damages any part of Easement Area C-1 in the course of installing elements permitted under
Paragraph 5(a), Ivy Tower will promptly restore Easement Area C-1 to substantially the same
condition that existed prior to such installation. The City, at its expense, will repair any damages
to Easement Area C-1 caused solely by the City that interfere with Ivy Tower's use of Easement
Area C-1."
3. Paragraph 6 of the Easement Agreement is amended by inserting the following
immediately after the second sentence of Paragraph 6(a): "Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, Ivy Tower may also use Easement Area C-2 for the installation, use, and maintenance of
utility lines, pipes, duct banks, and security equipment below the grade of the surface of Easement
Area C-2 as such surface existed on September_, 2015, provided that the City has first approved
the plans for installing any such elements, which approval the City may grant or withhold as
determined in its sole discretion. The parties agree that Ivy Tower will have no right under this
agreement to install any above-grade utility lines, pipes, duct banks, security equipment, or other
property or fixtures of any kind on, across, or above Easement Area C-2. It is provided, however,
that Ivy Tower may, with the prior written consent of the City, which consent the City will grant
or withhold as determined in its sole discretion, erect and maintain a fence and one (1) gate across
the roadway of Easement Area C-2, provided that the City has first approved the plans for installing
any such elements and will retain the ability to open the gate at any time without assistance from
Ivy Tower (i.e. if the gate is secured with a keypad, the City shall be given a code for its use). If
the City unlocks any such gate, the City shall use due care to insure that the gate is closed and
locked when the roadway is not in use."
4. Paragraph 6 of the Easement Agreement is further amended by deleting
subparagraph ( c) in its entirety and inserting the following in its place: "( c) Ivy Tower will, at its
sole expense, maintain and repair Easement Area C-2 in a condition suitable for its purposes under
this agreement. In the event Ivy Tower desires to terminate any of its easement rights over
Easement Area C-2, Ivy Tower will notify the City of such termination and will turn over Easement
Area C-2 to the City in good repair and condition, as such condition may be approved in the City's
reasonable discretion, which approval shall be deemed provided by the City unless Ivy Tower is
notified otherwise within sixty (60) days of the later of (i) the City's receipt of Ivy Tower's
termination notice or (ii) the effective date of such termination. In the event Ivy Tower disturbs
or damages any part of Easement Area C-2 in the course of installing elements permitted under
Paragraph 6(a), Ivy Tower will promptly restore Easement Area C-2 to substantially the same
condition that existed prior to such installation. The City, at its expense, will repair any damages
to Easement Area C-2 caused solely by the City that interfere with Ivy Tower's use of Easement
Area C-2."
5. Other than specifically set forth in this Amendment, all other provisions of the
Easement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

6. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts and when so executed the
multiple pages shall be deemed to constitute a complete document.
