| 2.5.3 | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant’s right to exercise the 2015 Expansion Option shall not be affected by any sublease of the Premises entered into pursuant to the terms of this Lease, but in no event shall any sublessee have any rights to exercise the 2015 Expansion Option. In addition, the right to exercise the 2015 Expansion Option shall be automatically transferred to an Assignee who leases the entire Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease. |

Exhibit A
Workletter
This Exhibit A - Workletter is attached to and made a part of the First Amendment to Lease dated June 26, 2008 (the “Lease”) between MADISON LaSALLE PARTNERS, LLC, and CHICAGO LASALLE OFFICE CO-INVESTORS, LLC, (“Landlord”) and THE NORTHERN TRUST COMPANY (“Tenant”). The terms of this EXHIBIT A shall be applicable to the Tenant Work. Any terms used in this Exhibit A which are not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as in the Lease.
Effective July 1, 2008, Landlord agrees to contribute up to $301,071.00 (the “Initial Tenant Allowance”) in the form of cash or an abatement of rent as determined by Tenant pursuant to Tenant’s discretion, by no later than July 31, 2008, towards the cost of constructing certain tenant improvements (the “Initial Tenant Work”) for the Premises in accordance with the space plan (the “Plans”) approved by both Landlord and Tenant, a copy of which Plans is attached hereto. Effective January 1, 2011, Landlord agrees to contribute up to $1,204,284.00 (the “Additional Tenant Allowance”) in cash or an abatement of rent as determined by Tenant pursuant to Tenant’s discretion by no later than January 31, 2011 (unless the Lease has been assigned in which event Landlord shall only contribute the Additional Tenant Allowance in the form of cash), towards the cost of constructing certain tenant improvements (the “Additional Tenant Work”) for the Premises in accordance with a space plan approved by both Landlord and Tenant. The Initial Tenant Allowance and Additional Tenant Allowance shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Tenant Allowance.” The Initial Tenant Work and Additional Tenant Work shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Tenant Work.” Tenant shall be responsible for all the cost of demolition, if any, in the Premises. It is understood and agreed that Tenant’s contractors shall perform the work in connection with the Tenant Work, provided, however, all such contractors shall be approved in writing by Landlord prior to commencing such work, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and provided that such contractors shall be reputable, shall be properly licensed to perform the Tenant Work and shall maintain the types and amounts of insurance required by Landlord. Tenant shall not commence any of the Tenant Work until Landlord has approved the Plans and the contractors to be used by Tenant. All Tenant Work shall be performed in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 of the Lease.
The Tenant Allowance shall be made available to Tenant from time to time, but not more than one time per month, upon written request by Tenant and upon receipt and approval by Landlord of proper invoices and other documentation evidencing completion of the work for which the applicable portion of the Tenant Allowance is being requested (the “Construction Documents”). The Construction Documents shall include, but not be limited to, proper Applications for Payment, Sworn Owner’s and Contractor’s Statements, Partial and Final Waivers of Lien from each contractor or other person furnishing materials and labor in connection with the work, Contractor Affidavits and other appropriate documentation reasonably requested by Landlord. Provided Landlord approves of the Construction Documents, then within ten (10) business days of receipt of Tenant’s
request, Landlord shall pay to Tenant or, at the direction of Tenant, Tenant’s contractors, up to ninety percent (90%) of the portion of the Tenant Allowance so requested. Provided, however, upon completion of all Tenant Work in accordance with the Plans, presentation to and approval by Landlord of final Construction Documents, inspection by Landlord showing the Tenant Work to be completed to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant pursuant to a Certificate of Occupancy (if required), Landlord shall pay to Tenant or, at the direction of Tenant, Tenant’s contractors, one hundred percent (100%) of the balance of the Tenant Allowance, so requested, including any unpaid portion of the Tenant Allowance previously requested. Provided Landlord has received and approved the Construction Documents and Tenant is not in default, any portion of the Tenant Allowance not paid to Tenant may be applied to reduce the rent due by Tenant to Landlord immediately upon thirty (30) days advance written notice by Tenant to Landlord.
If the cost to construct the Tenant Work pursuant to the Plans exceeds the Tenant Allowance, then Tenant shall pay its contractors directly. Tenant agrees it shall not make any changes to the Plans or the contractors performing the work without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord. In the event Tenant shall make changes to the Plans that are approved by Landlord and which result in an additional cost of completing the Tenant Work in excess of the Tenant Allowance, Tenant shall pay any increase in the cost of completing the Tenant Work in excess of the Tenant Allowance resulting from such changes in the Plans.
If for any reason the Premises shall not be ready for occupancy by Tenant on or before the Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be affected thereby, nor shall Tenant have any claim against Landlord by reason thereof. All claims for damages against the Landlord arising out of any such delay are waived and released by Tenant.
Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any loss, liability, damage, claim, judgment, cost or expense incurred by Landlord (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs) resulting from or relating to any work performed by Tenant, or Tenant’s contractors or subcontractors. Prior to performing any of the Tenant Work, Tenant, as well as all of Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors, shall provide Landlord with certificates of insurance evidencing insurance policies of a type and amount reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Such policies shall name Landlord, and any other managing agent, ground lessor or mortgagee of which Tenant is made aware, as named additional insureds. Such insurance shall be maintained by Tenant and all of Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors at all times during the construction of the Tenant Work. All Tenant Work shall be constructed in accordance with all federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances, rules and regulations. All Tenant Work when made to the Demised Premises shall be surrendered to Landlord and become the property of Landlord upon termination in any manner of the Lease.
