ARTICLE SIX: AGREEMENTS WITH CONTRACTORS
6.01 Bid Requirement for General Contractor and Subcontractors.
- HED acknowledges that Developer may act as general contractor for all or a portion of the Project. To the extent Developer elects to engage a third party to provide general contractor or construction oversight services, the Developer's selection of such third party shall be subject to the City's approval (the "General Contractor"). Developer must solicit, or must cause the General Contractor to solicit, bids from qualified contractors eligible to do business with the City.
- For the TIF-Funded Improvements, Developer must select or cause the General Contractor to select the subcontractor submitting the lowest responsible and responsive bid who can complete the Project (or phase thereof) in a timely and good and workmanlike manner; provided, however, that Developer may consider a bidder's ability to meet the unique challenges ofthe Project
13
in evaluating the "lowest responsible and responsive bid" rather than the lowest bid. If the General Contractor selects any subcontractor submitting other than the lowest responsible and responsive bid for the TIF-Funded Improvements, the difference between the lowest responsible and responsive bid and the bid selected may not be paid out of City Funds.
(c) Developer must submit copies of the Construction Contract to HED as required under Section 6.02 below. Photocopies of all subcontracts entered or to be entered into in connection with the TIF-Funded Improvements must be provided to HED within 20 Business Days ofthe execution thereof. Developer must ensure that the General Contractor will not (and must cause the General Contractor to ensure that the subcontractors will not) begin work on the Project (or any phase thereof) until the applicable Plans and Specifications for that phase have been approved by HED and all requisite permits have been obtained.
- Construction Contract. Prior to the execution thereof, Developer must deliver to HED a copy of the proposed Construction Contract with the General Contractor selected to work on the TIF-Funded Improvements under Section 6.01 above, for HED's prior written approval. Within 10 Business Days after execution of such contract by Developer, the General Contractor and any other parties thereto, Developer must deliver to HED and Corporation Counsel a certified copy of such contract together with any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.
- Performance and Payment Bonds. Prior to commencement of construction of any work in the public way, if any, Developer will require that the General Contractor and any applicable subcontractor(s) be bonded (as to such work in the public way) for their respective payment and performance by sureties having an AA rating or better using the form of payment and performance bond form attached as Exhibit L. The City will be named as obligee or co-obligee on such bond.
- Employment Opportunity. Developer will contractually obligate and cause the General Contractor to agree and contractually obligate each subcontractor to agree to the provisions of Article Ten. The Parties acknowledge that the contracting, hiring and testing requirements for the MBEAA/BE and City Residency obligations in Article Ten are applied by the City's monitoring staff on an aggregate basis, and that it shall not be an event of default under this Agreement, nor shall the payment ofthe City resident hiring shortfall amount be required, if the Developer or, as applicable, the General Contractor do not impose such obligations on each subcontractor, or if any one subcontractor does not satisfy such obligations, so long as such obligations are satisfied on an aggregate basis; provided, however, that City Funds shall not be disbursed hereunder unless compliance with Article Ten is evidenced on such an aggregate basis
- Other Provisions. In addition to the requirements of this Article Six, the Construction Contract and each contract with any subcontractor working on the Project must contain provisions required under Section 3.04 (Change Orders), Section 8.08 (Prevailing Wage), Section 10.01(e) (Employment Opportunity), Section 10.02 (City Resident Construction Worker Employment Requirement), Section 10.03 (Developer's MBE/WBE Commitment), Article Twelve (Insurance) and Section 14.01 (Books and Records).

14
completion of construction in recordable form (the "Certificate of Completion") certifying that Developer has fulfilled its obligation to complete the Project in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. HED will respond to Developer's written request for a Certificate of Completion within 30 days by issuing either a Certificate of Completion or a written statement detailing the ways in which the Project does not conform to this Agreement or has not been satisfactorily completed and the measures which must be taken by Developer in order to obtain the Certificate of Completion. Developer may resubmit a written request for a Certificate of Completion upon completion of such measures, and the City will respond within 30 days in the same way as the procedure for the initial request. Such process may repeat until the City issues a Certificate of Completion.
- Effect of Issuance of Certificate of Completion; Continuing Obligations.
-
- The Certificate of Completion relates only to the construction ofthe Project, and upon its issuance, the City will certify that the terms of the Agreement specifically related to Developer's obligation to complete such activities have been satisfied. After the issuance of a Certificate of Completion, however, all executory terms and conditions of this Agreement and all representations and covenants contained herein will continue to remain in full force and effect throughout the Term of the Agreement as to the parties described in the following paragraph, and the issuance of the Certificate of Completion must not be construed as a waiver by the City of any of its rights and remedies under such executory terms.
- Those covenants specifically described at Section 8.16(c) (Real Estate Taxes) as covenants that run with the land comprising the Property are the only covenants in this Agreement intended to be binding throughout the Term of the Agreement upon any transferee of the Developer holding title to the Property or any portion thereof, regardless of whether or to what extent that owner is also an assignee of Developer as described in this paragraph and regardless of whether or not a Certificate of Completion has been issued. Unless a Certificate of Completion has been issued, those covenants specifically described at Section 8.02 (Covenant to Redevelop) as covenants that run with the land comprising the Property are the only other covenants in this Agreement intended to be binding throughout the Term of the Agreement upon any transferee of the Developer holding title to the Property or any portion thereof, regardless of whether or to what extent that owner is also an assignee of Developer as described in this paragraph. The other executory terms of this Agreement that remain after the issuance of a Certificate of Completion, specifically Sections 8.16(c), 8.17 and 18.27, will be binding only upon Method or a permitted assignee of Method.
- Failure to Complete. If Developer fails to timely complete the Project in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, then the City will have, but will not be limited to, any of the following rights and remedies, in addition to those stated in Section 15.02.
- the right to terminate this Agreement and cease all disbursement of City Funds not yet disbursed under this Agreement; and
- the right (but not the obligation) to complete those TIF-Funded Improvements that are public improvements and to pay for the costs of such TIF-Funded Improvements (including interest costs) out ofthe payment and performance bond form attached as Exhibit L, and, if such funds are insufficient, then from City Funds or other City monies. If the aggregate costs incurred by the City to complete the TIF-Funded Improvements exceeds the amount of funds described in the preceding sentence, Developer will reimburse the City for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the
15
City in completing such TIF-Funded Improvements in excess of those funds.

Developer shall not: (a) coerce, compel or intimidate its employees to make a contribution of any amount to the Mayor or to the Mayor's political fundraising committee; (b) reimburse its employees for a contribution of any amount made to the Mayor or to the Mayor's political fundraising committee; or (c) bundle or solicit others to bundle contributions to the Mayor or to his political fundraising committee.
23
The Identified Parties must not engage in any conduct whatsoever designed to intentionally violate this provision or Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4 or to entice, direct or solicit others to intentionally violate this provision or Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4.
Violation of, non-compliance with, misrepresentation with respect to, or breach of any covenant or warranty under this provision or violation of Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4 constitutes a breach and default under this Agreement, and under any Other Agreement for which no opportunity to cure will be granted. Such breach and default entitles the City to all remedies (including without limitation termination for default) under this Agreement, under any Other Agreement, at law and in equity. This provision amends any Other Agreement and supersedes any inconsistent provision contained therein.
If applicable, if Developer violates this provision or Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011 -4 prior to award ofthe Agreement resulting from this specification, then HED may reject Developer's bid.
For purposes of this provision:
"Other Agreement" means any agreement entered into between the Developer and the City that is (i) formed under the authority of MCC Ch. 2-92; (ii) for the purchase, sale or lease of real or personal property; or (iii) for materials, supplies, equipment or services which are approved and/or authorized by the City Council.
"Contribution" means a "political contribution" as defined in MCC Ch. 2-156, as amended.
"Political fundraising committee" means a "political fundraising committee" as defined in MCC Ch. 2-156, as amended.
8.25 Shakman Accord.
(a) The City is subject to the May 31, 2007 Order entitled "Agreed Settlement Order and Accord" (the "Shakman Accord") and the June 24, 2011 "City of Chicago Hiring Plan" (the "City Hiring Plan") entered in Shakman v. Democratic Organization of Cook County, Case No 69 C 2145 (United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois). Among other things, the Shakman Accord and the City Hiring Plan prohibit the City from hiring persons as governmental employees in non-exempt positions on the basis of political reasons or factors.
- Developer is aware that City policy prohibits City employees from directing any individual to apply for a position with Developer, either as an employee or as a subcontractor, and from directing Developer to hire an individual as an employee or as a subcontractor. Accordingly, Developer must follow its own hiring and contracting procedures, without being influenced by City employees. Any and all personnel provided by Developer under this Agreement are employees or subcontractors of Developer, not employees of the City of Chicago. This Agreement is not intended to and does not constitute, create, give rise to, or otherwise recognize an employer-employee relationship of any kind between the City and any personnel provided by Developer.
- Developer will not condition, base, or knowingly prejudice or affect any term or aspect of the employment of any personnel provided under this Agreement, or offer employment to any individual to provide services under this Agreement, based upon or because of any political
24
reason or factor, including, without limitation, any individual's political affiliation, membership in a political organization or party, political support or activity, political financial contributions, promises of such political support, activity or financial contributions, or such individual's political sponsorship or recommendation. For purposes of this Agreement, a political organization or party is an identifiable group or entity that has as its primary purpose the support of or opposition to candidates for elected public office. Individual political activities are the activities of individual persons in support of or in opposition to political organizations or parties or candidates for elected public office.
(d) In the event of any communication to Developer by a City employee or City official in violation of paragraph (b) above, or advocating a violation of paragraph (c) above, Developer will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, report such communication to the Hiring Oversight Section of the City's Office of the Inspector General ("IGO Hiring Oversight"), and also to the Commissioner of HED. Developer will also cooperate with any inquiries by IGO Hiring Oversight or the Shakman Monitor's Office related to this Agreement.
8.26 FOIA and Local Records Act Compliance.
- FOIA. Developer acknowledges that the City is subject to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140/1 et. seq., as amended ("FOIA"). The FOIA requires the City to produce records (very broadly defined in the FOIA) in response to a FOIA request in a very short period of time, unless the records requested are exempt under the FOIA. If Developer receives a request from the City to produce records within the scope of FOIA, that would be otherwise required under this Agreement then Developer covenants to comply with such request within two (2) Business Days of the date of such request. Failure by Developer to timely comply with such request will be a breach of this Agreement.
- Exempt Information. Documents that Developer submits to the City under Section 8.20, (Annual Compliance Report) or otherwise during the Term of the Agreement that contain trade secrets and commercial or financial information may be exempt if disclosure would result in competitive harm. However, for documents submitted by Developer to be treated as a trade secret or information that would cause competitive harm, FOIA requires that Developer mark any such documents as "proprietary, privileged or confidential." If Developer marks a document as "proprietary, privileged and confidential", then HED will evaluate whether such document may be withheld under the FOIA. HED, in its discretion, will determine whether a document will be exempted from disclosure, and that determination is subject to review by the Illinois Attorney General's Office and/or the courts.
- Local Records Act. Developer acknowledges that the City is subject to the Local Records Act, 50 ILCS 205/1 et. seq, as amended (the "Local Records Act"). The Local Records Act provides that public records may only be disposed of as provided in the Local Records Act. If requested by the City, Developer covenants to use its best efforts consistently applied to assist the City in its compliance with the Local Records Act concerning records arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated in the Agreement.
8.27 Survival of Covenants. All warranties, representations, covenants and agreements of Developer contained in this Article Eight and elsewhere in this Agreement are true, accurate and complete at the time of Developer's execution of this Agreement, and will survive the execution,
25
delivery and acceptance by the parties and (except as provided in Article Seven upon the issuance of a Certificate of Completion) will be in effect throughout the Term of the Agreement.
ARTICLE NINE: REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF CITY
- General Covenants. The City represents that it has the authority as a home rule unit of local government to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.
- Survival of Covenants. All warranties, representations, and covenants of the City contained in this Article Nine or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be true, accurate, and complete at the time of the City's execution of this Agreement, and shall survive the execution, delivery and acceptance hereof by the parties hereto and be in effect throughout the Term of the Agreement.
ARTICLE TEN: DEVELOPER'S EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS
10.01 Employment Opportunity. Developer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby agrees, and will contractually obligate its or their various contractors, subcontractors or any Affiliate of Developer on the Project (collectively, with Developer, such parties are defined herein as the "Employers", and individually defined herein as an "Employer") to agree, that for the Term of this Agreement with respect to Developer and during the period of any other party's provision of services in connection with the construction of the Project:
- No Employer shall discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment based upon race, religion, color, sex, national origin or ancestry, age, handicap or disability, sexual orientation, military discharge status, marital status, parental status or source of income as defined in the City of Chicago Human Rights Ordinance, Chapter 2-160, Section 2-160-010 et seq., Municipal Code, except as otherwise provided by said ordinance and as amended from time-to-time (the "Human Rights Ordinance"). Each Employer shall take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are hired and employed without discrimination based upon race, religion, color, sex, national origin or ancestry, age, handicap or disability, sexual orientation, military discharge status, marital status, parental status or source of income and are treated in a non-discriminatory manner with regard to all job-related matters, including without limitation: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. Each Employer agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the City setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause. In addition, the Employers, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees, shall state that all qualified applicants shall receive consideration for employment without discrimination based upon race, religion, color, sex, national origin or ancestry, age, handicap or disability, sexual orientation, military discharge status, marital status, parental status or source of income.
- To the greatest extent feasible, each Employer is required to present opportunities for training and employment of low- and moderate-income residents of the City and preferably of the Redevelopment Areas; and to provide that contracts for work in connection with the construction of the Project be awarded to business concerns that are located in, or owned in substantial part by persons residing in, the City and preferably in the Redevelopment Areas.
- Each Employer will comply with all applicable Federal, State and local equal employment and affirmative action statutes, rules and regulations, including but not limited to the City's Human Rights Ordinance and the State Human Rights Act, 775 ILCS 5/1-101 et. seq. (2006
26
State Bar Edition), as amended, and any subsequent amendments and regulations promulgated thereto.
- Each Employer, in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this Section, will cooperate with and promptly and accurately respond to inquiries by the City, which has the responsibility to observe and report compliance with equal employment opportunity regulations of Federal, State and municipal agencies.
- Each Employer will include the foregoing provisions of subparagraphs (a) through (d) in every construction contract entered into in connection with the Project, after the Closing Date, and will require inclusion of these provisions in every subcontract entered into by any subcontractors, after the Closing Date, and every agreement with any Affiliate operating on the Property or at the Project, after the Closing Date, so that each such provision will be binding upon each contractor, subcontractor or Affiliate, as the case may be.
- Failure to comply with the employment obligations described in this Section 10.01 will be a basis for the City to pursue remedies under the provisions of Section 15.02 hereof, subject to the cure rights under Section 15.03.
10.02 City Resident Construction Worker Employment Requirement.
- Developer agrees for itself and its successors and assigns, and will contractually obligate its General Contractor and will cause the General Contractor to contractually obligate its subcontractors, as applicable, to agree, that during the construction ofthe Project they will comply with the minimum percentage of total worker hours performed by actual residents of the City as specified in Section 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code of Chicago (at least 50 percent of the total worker hours worked by persons on the site of the Project will be performed by actual residents of the City); provided, however, that in addition to complying with this percentage, Developer, its General Contractor and each subcontractor will be required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified residents ofthe City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions. Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor will use their respective best efforts to exceed the minimum percentage of hours stated above, and to employ neighborhood residents in connection with the Project.
- Developer may request a reduction or waiver of this minimum percentage level of Chicagoans as provided for in Section 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code of Chicago in accordance with standards and procedures developed by the Chief Procurement Officer ofthe City.
- "Actual residents of the City" means persons domiciled within the City. The domicile is an individual's one and only true, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment.
- Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor will provide for the maintenance of adequate employee residency records to show that actual Chicago residents are employed on the Project. Each Employer will maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every Chicago employee's actual record of residence.
- Weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) will be submitted to the Commissioner of HED in triplicate, which will identify clearly the actual residence of every employee on each submitted certified payroll. The first time that an employee's name appears on a payroll, the date that the Employer hired the employee should be
27
written in after the employee's name.
- Upon 2 Business Days prior written notice, Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor will provide full access to their employment records related to the construction of the Project to the Chief Procurement Officer, the Commissioner of HED, the Superintendent ofthe Chicago Police Department, the Inspector General or any duly authorized representative of any of them. Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor will maintain all relevant personnel data and records related to the construction of the Project for a period of at least 3 years after final acceptance of the work constituting the Project.
- At the direction of HED, affidavits and other supporting documentation will be required of Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor to verify or clarify an employee's actual address when doubt or lack of clarity has arisen.
- Good faith efforts on the part of Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor to provide utilization of actual Chicago residents (but not sufficient for the granting of a waiver request as provided for in the standards and procedures developed by the Chief Procurement Officer) will not suffice to replace the actual, verified achievement of the requirements of this Section concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
(i) When work at the Project is completed, in the event that the City has determined that
Developer has failed to ensure the fulfillment of the requirement of this Article concerning the worker
hours performed by actual residents ofthe City or failed to report in the manner as indicated above,
the City will thereby be damaged in the failure to provide the benefit of demonstrable employment to
Chicagoans to the degree stipulated in this Article. Therefore, in such a case of non-compliance, it
is agreed that 1/20 of 1 percent (0.0005) of the aggregate hard construction costs set forth in the
Project Budget (the product of .0005 x such aggregate hard construction costs) (as the same will be
evidenced by approved contract value for the actual contracts) will be surrendered by Developer to
the City in payment for each percentage of shortfall toward the stipulated residency requirement.
Failure to report the residency of employees entirely and correctly will result in the surrender of the
entire liquidated damages as if no Chicago residents were employed in either ofthe categories. The
willful falsification of statements and the certification of payroll data may subject Developer, the
General Contractor and/or the subcontractors to prosecution. Any retainage to cover contract
performance that may become due to Developer pursuant to Section 2-92-250 of the Municipal
Code of Chicago may be withheld by the City pending the Chief Procurement Officer's determination
as to whether Developer must surrender damages as provided in this paragraph.
(j) Nothing herein provided will be construed to be a limitation upon the "Notice of Requirements for Affirmative Action to Ensure Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246" and "Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246," or other affirmative action required for equal opportunity under the provisions of this Agreement or related documents.
(k) Developer will cause or require the provisions of this Section 10.02 to be included in all construction contracts and subcontracts related to the Project, entered into after the Closing Date.
10.03 Developer's MBEA/VBE Commitment. Developer agrees for itself and its successors and assigns, and, if necessary to meet the requirements stated in this section, will contractually obligate the General Contractor to agree that during the construction of the Project:
28
- Consistent with the findings which support, as applicable: (i) the Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program, Section 2-92-420 et seq., Municipal Code of Chicago (the "Procurement Program"), and (ii) the Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Construction Program, Section 2-92-650 et seq., Municipal Code of Chicago (the "Construction Program", and collectively with the Procurement Program, the "MBE/WBE Program"), and in reliance upon the provisions of the MBE/WBE Program to the extent contained in, and as qualified by, the provisions of this Section 10.03, during the course of the Project, at least the following percentages of the MBE/WBE Budget (as stated in Exhibit D-2) must be expended for contract participation by Minority-Owned Businesses ("MBEs") and by Women-Owned Businesses ("WBEs"):
-
- At least 24 percent by MBEs.
- At least four percent by WBEs.
- For purposes of this Section 10.03 only:
-
- Developer (and any party to whom a contract is let by Developer in connection with the Project) is deemed a "contractor" and this Agreement (and any contract let by Developer in connection with the Project) is deemed a "contract" or a "construction contract" as such terms are defined in Sections 2-92-420 and 2-92-670, Municipal Code of Chicago, as applicable.
- The term "minority-owned business" or "MBE" shall mean a business identified in the Directory of Certified Minority Business Enterprises published by the City's Department of Procurement Services, or otherwise certified by the City's Department of Procurement Services as a minority-owned business enterprise, related to the Procurement Program or the Construction Program, as applicable.
- The term "women-owned business" or "WBE" shall mean a business identified in the Directory of Certified Women Business Enterprises published by the City's Department of Procurement Services, or otherwise certified by the City's Department of Procurement Services as a women-owned business enterprise, related to the Procurement Program or the Construction Program, as applicable.
- Consistent with Sections 2-92-440 and 2-92-720, Municipal Code of Chicago, Developer's MBEA/VBE commitment may be achieved in part by Developer's status as an MBE or WBE (but only to the extent of any actual work performed on the Project by Developer) or by a joint venture with one or more MBEs or WBEs (but only to the extent of the lesser of: (i) the MBE or WBE participation in such joint venture or (ii) the amount of any actual work performed on the Project by the MBE or WBE), by Developer utilizing a MBE or a WBE as the General Contractor (but only to the extent of any actual work performed on the Project by the General Contractor), by subcontracting or causing the General Contractor to subcontract a portion of the Project to one or more MBEs or WBEs, or by the purchase of materials or services used in the Project from one or more MBEs or WBEs, or by any combination of the foregoing. Those entities which constitute both a MBE and a WBE shall not be credited more than once with regard to Developer's MBE/WBE commitment as described in this Section 10.03. In compliance with Section 2-92-730, Municipal Code of Chicago, Developer will not substitute any MBE or WBE General Contractor or subcontractor without the prior written approval of HED.
(d) Developer must deliver monthly reports to the City's monitoring staff during the
29
Project describing its efforts to achieve compliance with this MBEA/VBE commitment. Such reports will include, inter alia: the name and business address of each MBE and WBE solicited by Developer or the General Contractor to work on the Project, and the responses received from such solicitation; the name and business address of each MBE or WBE actually involved in the Project; a description of the work performed or products or services supplied; the date and amount of such work, product or service; and such other information as may assist the City's monitoring staff in determining Developer's compliance with this MBEA/VBE commitment. Developer will maintain records of all relevant data with respect to the utilization of MBEs and WBEs in connection with the Project for at least 5 years after completion of the Project, and the City's monitoring staff will have access to all such records maintained by Developer, on 5 Business Days' notice, to allow the City to review Developer's compliance with its commitment to MBEA/VBE participation and the status of any MBE or WBE performing any portion ofthe Project.
- Upon the disqualification of any MBE or WBE General Contractor or subcontractor, if such status was misrepresented by the disqualified party, Developer is obligated to discharge or cause to be discharged the disqualified General Contractor or subcontractor, and, if possible, identify and engage a qualified MBE or WBE as a replacement. For purposes of this subsection (e), the disqualification procedures are further described in Sections 2-92-540 and 2-92-730, Municipal Code of Chicago, as applicable.
- Any reduction or waiver of Developer's MBEA/VBE commitment as described in this Section 10.03 shall be undertaken in accordance with Sections 2-92-450 and 2-92-730, Municipal Code of Chicago, as applicable.
- Prior to the commencement of the Project, Developer shall be required to meet with the City's monitoring staff with regard to Developer's compliance with its obligations under this Section 10.03. The General Contractor and all major subcontractors are required to attend this pre-construction meeting. During said meeting, Developer will demonstrate to the City's monitoring staff its plan to achieve its obligations under this Section 10.03, the sufficiency of which will be approved by the City's monitoring staff. During the Project, Developer shall submit the documentation required by this Section 10.03 to the City's monitoring staff, including the following: (i) subcontractor's activity report; (ii) contractor's certification concerning labor standards and prevailing wage requirements; (iii) contractor letter of understanding; (iv) monthly utilization report; (v) authorization for payroll agent; (vi) certified payroll; (vii) evidence that MBEA/VBE contractor associations have been informed of the Project via written notice and hearings; and (viii) evidence of compliance with job creation/job retention requirements. Failure to submit such documentation on a timely basis, or a determination by the City's monitoring staff, upon analysis ofthe documentation, that Developer is not complying with its obligations under this Section 10.03, will, upon the delivery of written notice to Developer, be deemed an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies provided in this Agreement, the City may: (1) issue a written demand to Developer to halt the Project, (2) withhold any further payment of any City Funds to Developer or the General Contractor, or (3) seek any other remedies against Developer available at law or in equity.
ARTICLE ELEVEN: ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
11.01 Environmental Matters. Developer hereby represents and warrants to the City that Developer has conducted environmental studies sufficient to conclude that the Project may be constructed, completed and operated in accordance with all Environmental Laws.
30
Without limiting any other provisions hereof, Developer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims of any kind whatsoever including, without limitation, any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental Laws incurred, suffered by or asserted against the City as a direct or indirect result of any of the following, regardless of whether or not caused by, or within the control of Developer: (i) the presence of any Hazardous Materials on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, emission, discharge or release of any Hazardous Materials from: (A) all or any portion ofthe Property, or (B) any other real property in which Developer, or any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with Developer, holds any estate or interest whatsoever (including, without limitation, any property owned by a land trust in which the beneficial interest is owned, in whole or in part, by Developer), or (ii) any liens against the Property permitted or imposed by any Environmental Laws, or any actual or asserted liability or obligation of the City or Developer or any of its Affiliates under any Environmental Laws relating to the Property.

(v) Developer's failure to cure any misrepresentation in this Agreement or any
31
other document or agreement relating hereto; or
(vi) any act or omission by Developer or any Affiliate of Developer;
provided, however, that Developer shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee arising from the wanton or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee. To the extent that the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Developer will contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. The provisions ofthe undertakings and indemnification set out in this Section 13.01 will survive the termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE FOURTEEN: MAINTAINING RECORDS/RIGHT TO INSPECT
- Books and Records. Developer will keep and maintain separate, complete, accurate and detailed books and records necessary to reflect and fully disclose the total actual costs of the Project and the disposition of all funds from whatever source allocated thereto, and to monitor the Project.

Any and all mortgages or deeds of trust in place as ofthe date hereof with respect to the Property or Project or any portion thereof are listed on Exhibit I hereto (including but not limited to mortgages made prior to or on the date hereof in connection with Lender Financing, if any) and are referred to herein as the "Existing Mortgages." Any mortgage or deed of trust that Developer may hereafter elect to execute and record or execute and permit to be recorded against the Property or Project or any portion thereof without obtaining the prior written consent of the City is referred to herein as a "New Mortgage." Any mortgage or deed of trust that Developer may hereafter elect to execute and record or execute and permit to be recorded against the Property or Project or any portion thereof with the prior written consent of the City is referred to
34
herein as a "Permitted Mortgage." It is hereby agreed by and between the City and Developer as follows:
- If a mortgagee or any other party shall succeed to Developer's interest in the Property or any portion thereof by the exercise of remedies under a mortgage or deed of trust (other than an Existing Mortgage or a Permitted Mortgage) whether by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, and in conjunction therewith accepts an assignment of Developer's interest hereunder in accordance with Section 18.15 hereof, the City may, but will not be obligated to, attorn to and recognize such party as the successor in interest to Developer for all purposes under this Agreement and, unless so recognized by the City as the successor in interest, such party will be entitled to no rights or benefits under this Agreement, but such party will be bound by those provisions of this Agreement that are covenants expressly running with the land comprising the Property (as defined herein).
- Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the exercise of the remedies of foreclosure of a mortgage or any sale of Developer's interest in the Property in connection with a foreclosure, whether by judicial proceedings or by virtue of any power of sale contained in the mortgage, or any conveyance of Developer's interest in the Property to the mortgagee or its nominee or designee by virtue of or in lieu of foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings, or any conveyance of Developer's interest in the Property by the mortgagee or its nominee or designee, or any other exercise of remedies under the documents evidencing Lender Financing shall not require the consent or approval ofthe City or constitute a breach of any provision of or a default under this Agreement.
- If any mortgagee or any other party shall succeed to Developer's interest in the Property or any portion thereof by the exercise of remedies under an Existing Mortgage or a Permitted Mortgage, whether by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, and in conjunction therewith accepts an assignment of Developer's interest hereunder in accordance with Section 18.15 hereof, then the City hereby agrees to attorn to and recognize such party as the successor in interest to Developer for all purposes under this Agreement so long as such party accepts all ofthe executory obligations and liabilities of "Developer" hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that if such party accepts an assignment of Developer's interest under this Agreement, such party will have no liability under this Agreement for any Event of Default of Developer which occurred prior to the time such party succeeded to the interest of Developer under this Agreement, in which case Developer will be solely responsible. However, if such mortgagee under a Permitted Mortgage or an Existing Mortgage does not expressly accept an assignment of Developer's interest hereunder, such party will be entitled to no rights and benefits under this Agreement, and such party will be bound only by those provisions of this Agreement, if any, which are covenants expressly running with the land.
- Prior to the issuance by the City to Developer of a Certificate of Completion under Article Seven hereof, no New Mortgage will be executed with respect to the Property or the Project or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of the Commissioner of HED. A feature of such consent will be that any New Mortgage will subordinate its mortgage lien to the covenants in favor of the City that run with the land. After the issuance of a Certificate of Completion, consent of the Commissioner of HED is not required for any such New Mortgage.

FORM OF OPINION OF DEVELOPER'S COUNSEL [To be retyped on Developer's Counsel's letterhead]
2013
City of Chicago City Hall, Room 600 121 North LaSalle Street Chicago, IL 60602
ATTENTION: Corporation Counsel
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives, Inc., an Illinois not-for-profit corporation ("Developer"), in connection with the construction of certain improvements in the North Pullman Redevelopment Project Area and the Lake Calumet Industrial Redevelopment Project Area (the "Project"). In that capacity, we have examined, among other things, the following agreements, instruments and documents of even date herewith, hereinafter referred to as the "Documents":
- Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives, Inc. Redevelopment Agreement (the "Agreement") of even date herewith, executed by Developer and the City of Chicago (the "City"); and
- all other agreements, instruments and documents executed in connection with the foregoing.
In addition to the foregoing, we have examined
- the original or certified, conformed or photostatic copies of each of Developer's (i) Articles of Incorporation, as amended to date, (ii) bylaws, (iii) qualifications to do business and certificates of good standing in all states in which Developer is qualified to do business, and (iv) records of all corporate proceedings relating to the Project; and
- such other documents, records and legal matters as we have deemed necessary or relevant for purposes of issuing the opinions hereinafter expressed.
In all such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of Developer), the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals and conformity to the
68
originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies. Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
- Developer is a not-for-profit corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation, has full power and authority to own and lease its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted, and is in good standing and duly qualified to do business as a foreign organization under the laws of every state in which the conduct of its affairs or the ownership of its assets requires such qualification, except for those states in which its failure to qualify to do business would not have a material adverse effect on it or its business.
- Developer has full right, power and authority to execute and deliver the Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. Such execution, delivery and performance will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, Developer's Articles of Incorporation or bylaws or result in a breach or other violation of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any law or regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, government or regulatory authority, or, to the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, instrument or document to which Developer is a party or by which Developer or its properties is bound. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, such execution, delivery and performance will not constitute grounds for acceleration ofthe maturity of any agreement, indenture, undertaking or other instrument to which Developer is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien, charge or encumbrance on, or security interest in, any of its property pursuant to the provisions of any of the foregoing, other than in favor of any lender providing lender financing.
- The execution and delivery of each Document and the performance of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized and approved by all requisite action on the part of Developer.
- Each of the Documents to which Developer is a party has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of Developer, and each such Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Developer, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
- Exhibit A attached hereto (a) identifies the officers and directors of the Developer. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, except as set forth on Exhibit A, there are no warrants, options, rights or commitments of purchase, conversion, call or exchange or other rights or restrictions with respect to any of the equity of Developer.
- To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, no judgments are outstanding against Developer, nor is there now pending or threatened, any litigation, contested claim or governmental proceeding by or against Developer or affecting Developer or its property, or seeking to restrain or enjoin the performance by Developer of the Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, or contesting the validity thereof. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, Developer is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, government or regulatory authority or in default in any respect under any law, order, regulation or demand of any governmental agency or instrumentality, a default under which would have a material adverse effect on Developer or its business.
69
- To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, there is no default by Developer or any other party under any material contract, lease, agreement, instrument or commitment to which Developer is a party or by which the company or its properties is bound.
- To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, all of the assets of Developer are free and clear of mortgages, liens, pledges, security interests and encumbrances except for those specifically set forth in the Documents.
- The execution, delivery and performance ofthe Documents by Developer have not and will not require the consent of any person or the giving of notice to, any exemption by, any registration, declaration or filing with or any taking of any other actions in respect of, any person, including without limitation any court, government or regulatory authority.
- To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, Developer owns or possesses or is licensed or otherwise has the right to use all licenses, permits and other governmental approvals and authorizations, operating authorities, certificates of public convenience, goods carriers permits, authorizations and other rights that are necessary for the operation of its business.
- A federal or state court sitting in the State of Illinois and applying the choice of law provisions of the State of Illinois would enforce the choice of law contained in the Documents and apply the law of the State of Illinois to the transactions evidenced thereby.
We are attorneys admitted to practice in the State of Illinois and we express no opinion as to any laws other than federal laws of the United States of America or the laws of the State of Illinois.
This opinion is issued at Developer's request for the benefit of the City and its counsel, and may not be disclosed to or relied upon by any other person.
Very truly yours,
By.
