1. Covenant to Build Parking Lot and Use Property for Parking in Perpetuity.
Grantee shall construct a surface parking lot on the Property in accordance with the general layout and landscaping depicted on Exhibit f 1 attached hereto (the "Parking Lot Site Plan") within twelve (12) months ofthe date of this Deed (provided that plantings may be delayed for an additional six (6) months if consistent with good landscaping practices), and shall use the Property for parking in perpetuity.

Grantee, at the request of the City, covenants to execute and deliver to the City a reconveyance deed to the Property to further evidence such revesting of title. This right of reverter in favor of the City shall terminate forty (40) years following the date of this Deed.
Historic Contamination of Urban Land. Grantee acknowledges that soil and groundwater in urban areas, including Chicago, are frequently impacted by historic environmental contamination, such as (a) buried demolition debris containing lead-based paint or asbestos, (b) underground heating oil tanks, (c) off-site migration of chemicals from surrounding property previously or currently used for gas stations, dry cleaners, or other commercial, industrial or manufacturing land uses, (d) unauthorized "fly" dumping, (e) nearby railroad operations, and (f) airborne deposit of lead and other contaminants from historic use of lead gasoline and polluting industrial or manufacturing uses. Grantee acknowledges receipt of a fact sheet prepared by the United States Environmental Protection Agency about urban gardening best management practices to prevent or reduce exposure to contaminants that may be present in soils.
"As Is," "Where Is" and "With All Faults" Conveyance. Grantee acknowledges that Grantee has had an opportunity to inspect the Property, and is relying solely upon Grantee's own inspection and other due diligence activities in determining whether to acquire the Property, and not upon any information provided by or on behalf of the City with respect thereto, including without limitation, the Review Documents and any summary thereof. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Property is being conveyed, and Grantee accepts the Property, in its "AS IS," "WHERE IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS" condition without any covenant, representation, or warranty, express or implied, of any kind, regarding the physical or environmental condition of the Property

Grantee is obligated to use the Property only for uses permitted underthe redevelopment plan for the redevelopment area, as amended, until such redevelopment plan expires.
Affordable Housing. Grantee acknowledges that the sale of City-owned land may trigger Section 2-44-085 of the Municipal Code of Chicago (as hereafter amended, supplemented or replaced, the "Affordable Requirements Ordinance"), and therefore, that a future residential project on the Property may be subject to the requirements of the Affordable Requirements Ordinance.
