REDEVELOPMENT
AND
ECONOMIC INCENTIVE AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN
ROUSE-RANDHURST SHOPPING CENTER, LLC,
a Maryland limited liability company
and
VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT,
an Illinois home rule municipal corporation
August ,2003
-42HGO2:20025687.v I 1
REDEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC INCENTIVE AGREEMENT
This REDEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC INCENTIVE AGREEMENT (this
"Agreement") is entered into as of the __ day of August, 2003 by and among, ROUSE-
RANDHURST SHOPPING CENTER, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company
("Developer"), and the VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT, an Illinois home rule municipal
corporation (the "Village"). Developer and the Village are hereinafter individually sometimes
referred to as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."
RECITALS
A. JP Morgan Chase Bank, as Trustee under Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust,
dated November 13, 2001, as amended, for its Commingled Pension Trust Fund (Strategic
Property) ("Owner"), is the owner of fee simple title to the real property located generally at the
northeast comer of the intersections of Elmhurst and Rand Roads in the Village of Mount
Prospect, Cook County, Illinois, which real estate is legally described on Exhibit A attached
hereto (the "Property").
B. Developer is the ground lessee of the Property and owner of the regional shopping center
commonly known as Randhurst Shopping Center ("Randhurst") located on the Property.
Developer is the landlord for all retail leases at Randhurst and manages and operates Randhurst.
For the purposes of this Agreement, the Property and Randhurst exclude the adjacent office
building parcel located at the southeast comer of Euclid and Elmhurst Roads in the Village of
Mount Prospect, Cook County, Illinois.
C. Randhurst is the largest generator of combined sales and real estate tax revenue within
the Village and provides a significant portion of the Village's revenues The commercial traffic
generated by Randhurst also enhances the development and commercial viability of other Village
revenue-generating enterprises located near Randhurst.
D. Over the last four years or more, Randhurst has been significantly underutilized as
evidenced by increasing vacancies and the stagnation in revenue generated by retail sales at
Randhurst and a resulting reduction in sales tax revenues from Randhurst to the Village.
E. As with most regional shopping centers, the economic strength and commercial viability
of Randhurst are directly related to the strength, viability, traffic and sales generated by its
primary anchor tenants. In the last two years, Montgomery Ward & Co., Incorporated, an
Illinois company ("Ward"), and J. C. Penney Company, Inc. closed their respective anchor tenant
stores at Randhurst (and Kohl's Corporation has indicated that it intends to close their store at
Randhurst), causing significant impact on both the commercial viability o f Randhurst and the
revenues generated by Randhurst. These closings resulted in direct loss of Sales Tax revenue to
the Village. The closing of these anchor stores also creates the possibility for additional and
more significant detriment to Randhurst, and, therefore, to the Village, based on the rights of
other key tenants at the center to terminate leases or to reduce rents based on reduced anchor
tenant occupancy and reduced sales at Randhurst.
~CHGO2:20025687.vl I
F. Costco Wholesale Corporation, a Washington corporation ("Tenant"), subject to the
execution of this Agreement, desires to lease from Developer (the "Lease") approximately 15
acres of the Property (the "Tenant Parcel") identified on the preliminary site plan attached hereto
as Exhibit B (the "Site Plan") for construction and operation of the Store, as defined herein. The
Store w ill b e constructed i n a manner generally consistent with t he Site P lan a nd a I1 exterior
portions of walls of the Store exposed to Public roadways will be constructed of a combination of
high quality architectural pre-cast concrete and masonry materials (e.g. concrete masonry units
or similar).
G. The Store is anticipated to provide a dramatic increase in commercial activity and
revenues both directly through significant retail Store sales and indirectly by enhancing
commercial activity at Randhurst and adjacent properties. These increased sales will also reduce
the risk of further vacancies or rent reductions at Randhurst.
H. Randhurst is currently improved with structures which, while generally monitored and
updated to address life safety concerns, are otherwise older structures built under prior building
codes and therefore no longer comply with the Village's current building codes. The parking lot,
storm drainage, parking lot lighting and other improvements require some demolition, repair and
replacement if the Tenant Parcel is to be redeveloped.
I. Construction and operation of the Store involves numerous extraordinary costs, including
without limitation, (1) asbestos abatement and other modifications due to existing improvements
not complying with current building codes; (2)demolition of the Kohl's and J.C. Penney stores
and most of the existing Wards' store, including removal of related basements; (3) demolition of
existing m all stores and common areas t o accommodate t he S tore; (4) upgrade o f design a nd
materials to satisfy the Village's development requirements; (5) buyout of potential exclusionary
use rights which may conflict with the Store use; (6) economic costs related to establishing the
Store in this marketplace; and (7) infrastructure improvements at Randhurst, such as parking lot
and public and private utility improvements. As a result of these extraordinary costs, Developer
and Tenant cannot complete t he Project without t he economic incentives provided for i n t his
Agreement.
J. The Village, based on the approximately 40 year history of Randhurst in the Village, has
found that it is important to the economic and social welfare of the Village to maintain and to
enhance the economic viability and benefits of Randhurst and to thereby assure opportunities for
development and redevelopment by attracting sound and stable commercial growth within and
surrounding Randhurst.
K. The Village's corporate authorities have determined and made the following findings:
The buildings on the Property have been significantly underutilized for at least
two (2) years and, while generally monitored and updated to address life safety
concerns, are otherwise older structures built under prior building codes and
therefore no longer comply with current building codes;
(2)
The Project, as defined herein, is expected to create and to retain job opportunities
within the Village;
2
.-CHGO2:20025687.vl I
(3) The Project will serve to further development of areas adjacent to the Property;
(4) Without this Agreement, the Project would not be possible;
(5)
The Developer meets high standards of creditworthy and financial strength as
demonstrated by specific evidence of equity financing for not less than ten percent
(10%) of the total Project cost;
(6) The Project will strengthen the commercial sector of the Village;
(7) The Project will enhance the tax base of the municipality;
(8) This Agreement is in the best interest of the Village; and
(9)
The powers being exercised hereunder by the Village are in furtherance of and
essential to the public interest.
L. The Village seeks to encourage completion of the Project and, in order to make the
Project economically feasible, the Village has agreed to reimburse Developer for certain costs of
Developer and Tenant related to the Project.

Owner of the Jewel Store the right for the Store to operate, the Developer is being required to
forego its right to receive a portion of rental from the Jewel Food Store. This Agreement to
forego such rent from the Jewel Food Store is of the essence of this Agreement as it forms the
