partnership ("Best Buy") are entering into an amendment to that certain lease dated January 30,
2006, between Duke and Best Buy (the "Best Buy Lease") which, among other things, removes that
portion of the Real Estate commonly known as Block F (the "Outlot") from the definition of
"Shopping Center" (as that term is defined in the Best Buy Lease).
C. The Real Estate is encumbered by that certain Memorandum of Lease dated May 11,
2006 and recorded June 13, 2006, as Instrument Number 2006000033578 ("Memorandum") between
Duke and Best Buy.

restrictions provided in the Best Buy Lease which are more particularly hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the following
covenants and restrictions, Declarant hereby declares as follows:

Lease expires or is terminated and the Memorandum released, no portion of the Outlot shall be used
in violation of those Exclusivity and Use Restrictions more particularly set forth in Section 4 of the
Memorandum (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference).
In addition, to the extent any other provisions in the Best Buy Lease govern the use and operation of
the Outlot as part of the Shopping Center, including, without limitation, any height restrictions or
other restrictions for the benefit of Best Buy with respect to improvements located on the Outlot,
such restrictions shall continue to apply to the Outlot, notwithstanding the fact that, pursuant to the
amendment, the definition of "Shopping Center" under the Lease will no longer include the Outlot.
2. Covenants to Run with the Land. The grants, obligations, restrictions, benefits and
burdens created by this Declaration shall run with the Real Estate and the Outlot and any interest
therein, or any part of the Real Estate and the Outlot, hereinafter transferred, conveyed, assigned or
mortgaged, as the case may be, whether or not expressly described in any instrument evidencing any
such transaction. Best Buy, its successors or assigns, and all of the owners, from time to time, of the
Real Estate shall be entitled to enforce against the owner from time to time of the Outlot, by all
remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, injunctive relief, the restrictions
and covenants set forth in this Declaration.
3. Severability. The illegality, invalidity or unenforceability under law of any covenant,
restriction or condition or any other provision of this Declaration shall not impair or affect in any
manner the validity, enforceability or effect of the remaining provisions of this Declaration.
4. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall, in all respects, be governed, construed,
applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana including without limitation,
matters affecting title to all real property described herein. If any party brings an action against any
other party seeking to enforce this Declaration, the prevailing party in the action shall be entitled to

modified or amended, except pursuant to a written agreement in recordable form entered into by each
of the then Owners (as hereinafter defined) and Best Buy.
6. Entire Agreement. This Declaration constitutes the entire understanding and
agreement among the parties and no representations have been made to induce any party to enter into
this Declaration except as expressly set forth herein.
7. Owners. As used in this Declaration, each owner of record from time to time of all or
any portion of the Real Estate and the Outlot are referred to herein singly as an "Owner," and
collectively as the "Owners."
8. Termination. This Declaration and the restrictions applicable to the Real Estate shall
automatically terminate upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Best Buy Lease and release
of the Memorandum. Although such termination shall occur automatically, the Owner of the portion
of the Real Estate in which the Premises under the Best Buy Lease are located shall promptly
following the event causing termination or upon reasonable request by Declarant, execute such
documents as may be reasonable necessary to evidence the termination of this Declaration.
