SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
This Settlement Agreement ("Settlement Agreement") is made this 31st day of
January, 2001 by and between First Industrial, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("FIRST INDUSTRIAL"), First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., a

A. Xx. Xxxxx has been employed as the Chief Operating Officer of FR;
B. Xx. Xxxxx is an officer and director of various of FR's affiliates;
C. Xx. Xxxxx desires to resign all of his officership and directorship
positions, and both FIRST INDUSTRIAL and FR are willing to accept such
resignations; and
D. Xx. Xxxxx and FR desire to effect an amicable separation, all on the terms
hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, it is agreed by and between the
parties hereto as follows:
AGREEMENTS
1. Resignation. Xx. Xxxxx hereby resigns, effective as of January 31, 2001,

(as defined in Section 11 herein). Xx. Xxxxx acknowledges and agrees that the
foregoing Severance Payment includes any and all amounts due as a fiscal year
2000 performance bonus, whether such amount would have been paid in cash or

the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA"), FR agrees
to pay Xx. Xxxxx'x COBRA premiums for family coverage until the earlier of: (a)
June, 2002 (so as to cause FR to pay eighteen (18) months of COBRA premiums); or
(b) until such time as substitute health insurance with comparable benefits is

insurance benefits secured by or made available to Xx. Xxxxx. The date of the
