Dollar ($1.00) per annum, payable at the end of each year;
that is to say, on the 1st day of June of each year during
the term of this lease, but this lease is made and shall
continue in force only upon the condition that the Lessee will
fully and faithfully perform on its part each and all of the
covenants, stipulations and undertaking hereinafter set forth.

"And said Lessee agrees and covenants to and with the
said the said Lessor as follows:

FIRST: That it, the said Lessee, will pay to the said
Lessor the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) at the end of each
year so long as this lease shall remain in force.

SECOND: That said Lessee will erect upon the said lot
above described a building to be used by said Lessee for the
purposes of a student's chapter or fraternity house at the
University, said building to cost not less than forty thousand
dollars ($40,000.00) to be constructed of hollow tile,
faced with brick, or of brick alone, roofed with metal or slate,
and of the dimensions and style and specifications of Eugene
Bradbury, Architect, copies of which are hereto attached as
part of this contract; it being further understood that said
fraternity house shall be placed on the lot in question upon
the exact location which has heretofore been approved by said
Lessor and accepted by said Lessee.

THIRD: That the said building so erected shall be used
exclusively and for the purposes of a students' chapter or
fraternity house and for lodging rooms by the individual
members of said Lessee and the members of Zeta Psi Fraternity
of North America, that unless the consent of said Lessor over
the signature of its Rector if first obtained, said Lessee
will not subject or assign said premises, or any part thereof,
during the term, or permit the use thereof otherwise than by
said Zeta Psi Fraternity of North America and its members, and
the members of said Lessee.

"That during the use and occupations of said building as
aforesaid, and so long as said lease shall remain in force and
effect, said building shall be cared for and kept in order and
in such reasonable repair as the Superintendent of Grounds and
Buildings, or other duly designated officer of said Lessor


13

shall require, at the expense of the said Lessee, and without
charge to said Lessor; and such repairs shall include restoration
in case of damage or desturction by fire.

"FOURTH: That the said building shall be at all times
as fully subject to the ispection and visitation of the authorities
of said Lessor for police purposes and the ends of dissipline,
and for sanitary and other purposes of a similar
nature, as are any of the buildings owned by said University.

FIFTH: In the event the said Lessor shall, at any time
in the future, change its views as to fraternities, and desire
to recall any and all rights that may have been granted
herein, then and in that event the said Lessor shall have
the right at any time to revoke any and all the rights and
privileges granted, conveyed or given hereunder, and take
possession of said building, and upon payment to the said
Lessee for such building of such price as may be agreed upon
by said Lessor and said Lessee; and upon failure to agree upon
a price the same shall be fixed by arbitration—one arbitrator
to be selected by each party, and the two selected to choose
an umpire—the award of said arbitrators and their umpire, or
of any two of them, shall be final and binding upon both
parties.

SIXTH: That in case of the breach by said Lessee or its
failure to observe any of the covenants, agreements or conditions
hereof, or if said building shall be used in a manner not satisfactory
to the said Lessor, or if said Beta Chapter of Zeta
Psi shall be dissolved or discontinued, then and in any of said
events, after sixty (60) days notice given in writing by said
Lessor through its Secretary, or through any other authorized
agent of said Lessor, at any time after such breach, to any
member or officer of the Lessee found at the University, or if
no such member or officer be there found, then without notice,
the Lessor shall have the right to enter upon its records the
fact of such default or breach of such covenant, agreement or
condition, or of the unsatisfactory use of said house by the
Lessee as aforesaid, or of said declaration of discontinuance,
and this lease shall thereupon be determined and terminated
and the said leased property and the buildings and improvements
thereon shall thereupon revert to said Lessor, who shall have
the right to require its Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings,
or such officer or agent as may be designated by the
Lessor, to take possession of the said building, land and
improvements thereon, and the same shall become and continue
the absolute property of the said Lessor, free and forever
discharged from any and all rights and claimes of said Lessee
hereunder.

"Provided, however, if the said building shall revert
to said Lessor as aforesaid in consequence of the dissolution
or discontinuance of the said Beta Chapter of Zeta Psi
within five years after said building shall have so reverted
the Chapter shall be revived and restored, to its former
standing and position, and if said Lessee as so revived and


14

restored shall within five such years make application
to said Lessor for restoration to its rights and privileges
under this lease, the said Lessor shall thereupon be bound
to restore the same on the same terms and conditions as are
hereinbefore set out; provided that evidence satisfactory to
the Lessor is presented to it of the good standing of the
Lessee as revived and restored and of its ability to perform
thereafter the obligations of this lease; otherwise the Lessee
shall not be entitled to a restoration of its rights and
privileges as aforesaid.

SEVENTH: That in the event of failure on the part of
said Lessor to exercise its rights hereunder to terminate this
lease under the provisions of the SIXTH section above, such
failure shall not be taken or considered as in any manner constituting
a waiver of any of the rights of the Lessor as
hereinbefore set forth to terminate this lease above stated,
and take possession of the building as aforesaid, in case
of any subsequent or other failure, default, or breach on the
part of the Lessee. And the Lessor agrees and covenants to
and with said Lessee that on the payment by the said Lessee
of said annual installment of rent as aforesaid, on the full
and faithful performance and discharge by said Lessee of all
covenants, stipulations and agreements herein contained, the
said Lessor will, on payment to it by said Lessee of $25.00
renewal fee, execute and deliver at the request of said
Lessee a new lease of the above demised premises for nother term
of nine-nine (99) years to commence on the expiration of this
lease, subject to the same rents and to the same covenants,
agreements and conditions as hereinbefore set out, so that the
demise hereby created may be renewable and renewed from time
to time.
