THE DEVELOPER AGREES TO ACCEPT THE PROPERTY IN ITS "AS IS," "WHERE IS" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" CONDITION AT CLOSING WITHOUT ANY COVENANT, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND, AS TO THE STRUCTURAL, PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY OR THE SUITABILITY OF THE PROPERTY FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER.

10
 
 
governmental agency or political subdivision or other third party in connection or associated with the Property or any improvements, facilities or operations located or formerly located thereon (collectively, "Released Claims"); provided, however, the foregoing release shall not apply to the extent such Losses are proximately caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the City following the Closing Date. Furthermore, the Developer shall indemnify, defend (through an attorney reasonably acceptable to the City) and hold the City and its officers, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all Losses which may be made or asserted by any third parties (including, without limitation, any of the Developer Parties) arising out of or in any way connected with, directly or indirectly, any of the Released Claims, except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence for the City's gross negligence or willful misconduct following the Closing Date.

agreed and understood by and between the Developer and the City that, should any future
obligation of the Developer or any of the Developer Parties arise or be alleged to arise in
connection with any environmental, soil or other condition of the Property, neither the Developer
nor any of the Developer Parties will assert that those obligations must be satisfied in whole or
in part by the City because Section 3.14(g) contains a full, complete and final release of all such
claims, except as provided in such section for the City's gross negligence or willful misconduct
following the Closing Date.

The City Funds shall be disbursed in two (2) installments. The first installment of City Funds in the amount of $2,000,000 shall be paid upon the issuance of the Certificate, but in no event shall the first installment be made prior to June 30, 2015.

amount not to exceed $25,000 or $100,000 in the aggregate, may be made without the prior
written consent of HED.

Balance") only if the total of the Available Project Funds (as defined hereinafter) equals or
exceeds the aggregate of the amount necessary to pay all unpaid Project costs incurred or to be
incurred in the completion of the Project. "Available Project Funds" as used herein shall
mean: (i) the undisbursed City Funds; (ii) the undisbursed Lender Financing, if any; (iii) the
undisbursed Equity and (iv) any other amounts deposited by any of the Developer Parties

agent or will make available (in a manner acceptable to the City), cash in an amount that will
place the Project In Balance, which deposit shall first be exhausted before any further
disbursement of the City Funds shall be made.
 
The City shall have the right, in its discretion, to require the Developer Parties to submit further documentation as the City may require in order to verify that the matters certified to above are true and correct, and any disbursement by the City shall be subject to the City's review and approval of such documentation and its satisfaction that such certifications are true and correct; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to prevent the City from relying on such certifications by the Developer Parties. In addition, the Developer Parties shall have satisfied all other preconditions of disbursement of City Funds for each disbursement, including but not limited to requirements set forth in the TIF Bond Ordinance, if any, the TIF Bonds, if any, the TIF Ordinances, this Agreement and/or the Escrow Agreement.

SECTION 10. DEVELOPER PARTIES' EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS
 
10.01 Employment Opportunity. The Developer Parties on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns, hereby agree, and shall contractually obligate its or their various contractors, subcontractors or any Affiliate of the Developer Parties operating on the Property (collectively, with the Developer Parties, the "Employers" and individually an "Employer") to agree, that for the Term of this Agreement with respect to Developer Parties during the period of any other party's provision of services in connection with the construction of the Project or occupation of the Property:
  1. 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 nondiscriminatory 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.
  2. 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 Area; 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 Area.
  3. Each Employer shall comply with all 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 Illinois Human Rights Act, 775 ILCS 5/1-101 et seq. (1993), and any subsequent amendments and regulations promulgated thereto.
  4. Each Employer, in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this Section, shall 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.
 
 
27
 
  1. Each Employer shall include the foregoing provisions of subparagraphs (a) through (d) in every contract entered into in connection with the Project, and shall require inclusion of these provisions in every subcontract entered into by any subcontractors, and every agreement with any Affiliate operating on the Property, so that each such provision shall be binding upon each contractor, subcontractor or Affiliate, as the case may be.
  2. Failure to comply with the employment obligations described in this Section 10.01 shall be a basis for the City to pursue remedies under the provisions of Section 15.02 hereof.
 
10.02    City Resident Construction Worker Employment Requirement. The
Developer Parties agree for themselves and their successors and assigns, and shall contractually obligate their contractors and subcontractors, as applicable, to agree, that during the construction of the Project they shall 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 shall be performed by actual residents of the City); provided, however, that in addition to complying with this percentage, the Developer Parties, their contractors and each subcontractor shall be required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified residents of the City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions.
 
The Developer Parties 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 of the City.
"Actual residents of the City" shall mean persons domiciled within the City. The domicile is an individual's one and only true, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment.
 
The Developer Parties, the contractors and each subcontractor shall provide for the maintenance of adequate employee residency records to show that actual Chicago residents are employed on the Project. Each Employer shall 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) shall be submitted to the Commissioner of HED in triplicate, which shall 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 written in after the employee's name.
 
The Developer Parties, the contractors and each subcontractor shall provide full access to their employment records to the Chief Procurement Officer, the Commissioner of HED, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the Inspector General or any duly authorized representative of any of them. The Developer Parties, the General Contractor and each subcontractor shall maintain all relevant personnel data and records for a period of at least three (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 the Developer Parties, the contractors and each subcontractor to verify or clarify an employee's actual address when doubt or lack of clarity has arisen.
28
 
 
Good faith efforts on the part of the Developer Parties, the contractors 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) shall not suffice to replace the actual, verified achievement of the requirements of this Section concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
 
When work at the Project is completed, in the event that the City has determined that the Developer Parties have failed to ensure the fulfillment of the requirement of this Section concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents 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 Section. 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 shall be evidenced by approved contract value for the actual contracts) shall be surrendered by the Developer Parties 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 shall result in the surrender of the entire liquidated damages as if no Chicago residents were employed in either of the categories. The willful falsification of statements and the certification of payroll data may subject the Developer Parties, the General Contractor and/or the subcontractors to prosecution. Any retainage to cover contract performance that may become due to the Developer Parties 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 the Developer Parties must surrender damages as provided in this paragraph.
Nothing herein provided shall 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.
 
The Developer Parties shall cause or require the provisions of this Section 10.02 to be included in all construction contracts and subcontracts related to the Project.
 
10.03. MBE/WBE Commitment.

WBE (but only to the extent of any actual work performed on the Project by the Developer Parties) 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 the Developer Parties utilizing a MBE or a WBE as a contractor (but only to the extent of any actual work performed on the Project by such contractor), by subcontracting a portion of the Project to one or more MBEs or WBEs, or by the purchase of materials 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 the Developer Parties' MBE/WBE commitment as described in this Section 10.03.
The Developer Parties shall deliver quarterly reports to HED during the Project describing its efforts to achieve compliance with this MBE/WBE commitment. Such reports shall include, inter alia, the name and business address of each MBE and WBE solicited by the Developer Parties or a 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 HED in determining the Developer Parties' compliance with this MBE/WBE commitment. The Developer Parties shall maintain records of all relevant data with respect to the utilization of MBEs and WBEs in connection with the Project for at least five years after completion of the Project, and HED shall have access to all such records maintained by the Developer Parties, on five Business Days' notice, to allow the City to review the Developer Parties' compliance with its commitment to MBE/WBE participation and the status of any MBE or WBE performing any portion of the Project.
Upon the disqualification of any MBE or WBE contractor or subcontractor, if such status was misrepresented by the disqualified party, the Developer Parties shall be obligated to discharge or cause to be discharged the disqualified contractor or subcontractor, and, if possible, identify and engage a qualified MBE or WBE as a replacement. For purposes of this Section 10.03, the disqualification procedures are further described in Section 2-92-540, Municipal Code of Chicago.
 
Any reduction or waiver of the Developer Parties' MBE/WBE commitment as described in this Section 10.03 shall be undertaken in accordance with Section 2-92-450, Municipal Code of Chicago.
 
Prior to the commencement of the Project, the Developer Parties shall be required to meet with the monitoring staff of HED with regard to the Developer Parties' compliance with its obligations under this Section 10.03. All contractors and all major subcontractors shall be required to attend this pre-construction meeting. During said meeting, the Developer Parties shall demonstrate to HED their plan to achieve their obligations under this Section 10.03, the sufficiency of which shall be approved by HED. During the Project, the Developer Parties shall submit the documentation required by this Section 10.03 to the monitoring staff of HED. Failure to submit such documentation on a timely basis, or a determination by HED, upon analysis of the documentation, that the Developer Parties are not complying with their obligations under this Section 10.03, shall, upon the delivery of written notice to the Developer Parties, be deemed an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies provided hereunder, the City may: (1) issue a written demand to the Developer Parties to halt the Project, (2) withhold any further payments to, or on behalf of, the Developer
 
30
 
 
Parties, or (3) seek any other remedies against the Developer Parties available at law or in equity.

It is hereby agreed by and between the City and the Developer Parties as follows:
 
(a)      In the event that a mortgagee or any other party shall succeed to the Developer's
interest in the Property or any portion thereof pursuant to the exercise of remedies under a New
Mortgage (other than a Permitted Mortgage), whether by foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure, and in conjunction therewith accepts an assignment of the Developer's interest
hereunder in accordance with Section 18.15 hereof, the City may, but shall not be obligated to,
attorn to and recognize such party as the successor in interest to the Developer for all purposes

However, if such mortgagee under a Permitted Mortgage or an Existing Mortgage does not expressly accept an assignment of the Developer Parties' interest hereunder, such party shall be entitled to no rights and benefits under this Agreement, and such party shall be bound only by those provisions of this Agreement, if any, which are covenants expressly running with the land.

It is agreed that no material amendment or change to this Agreement shall be made or be effective unless ratified or authorized by an ordinance duly adopted by the City Council. The term "material" for the purpose of this Section 18.01 shall be defined as any deviation from the terms of the Agreement which operates to cancel or otherwise reduce any developmental, construction or job-creating obligations of Developer Parties (including those set forth in Sections 10.02 and 10.03 hereof) by more than five percent (5%) or materially changes the Project site or character of the Project or any activities undertaken by Developer Parties affecting the Project site, the Project, or both, or increases any time agreed for performance by the Developer Parties by more than ninety (90) days.

No delay or omission on the part of a party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right unless pursuant to the specific terms hereof. A waiver by a party of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of such party's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by a party, nor any course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall constitute a waiver of any such parties' rights or of any obligations of any other party hereto as to any future transactions.

OPINION OF DEVELOPER PARTIES' COUNSEL
 
 
[To be retyped on the Developer Parties' Counsel's letterhead]
 
 
 
City of Chicago
121 North LaSalle Street
Chicago, IL 60602
 
ATTENTION: Corporation Counsel
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
I have acted as counsel to Legends C-3, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the "Developer") and its managing member, Legends C-3 Manager, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the "Managing Member"), in connection with the acquisition of certain land and the construction of certain facilities thereon located in the 47th and King Redevelopment Project Area (the "Project"). In that capacity, I have examined, among other things, the following agreements, instruments and documents of even date herewith, hereinafter referred to as the "Documents":
  1. Legends C-3, LLC Redevelopment Agreement (the "Agreement") of even date
herewith, executed by the Developer, the [      ] and the City of Chicago (the
"City"); and
  1. all other agreements, instruments and documents executed in connection with the foregoing.
 
In addition to the foregoing, I have examined:
  1. the original or certified, conformed or photostatic copies of (1) the Developer's (i) Articles of Organization, (ii) operating agreement, (iii) By-Laws, if any, (iv) the certificate of good standing, and (v) records of all members' proceedings relating to the Project; and (2) the Managing Member's (i) Articles of Organization, (ii) operating agreement, (iii) By-Laws, if any, (iv) the certificate of good standing, and (v) records of all members' proceedings relating to the Project; and
  2. such other documents, records and legal matters as I have deemed necessary or relevant for purposes of issuing the opinions hereinafter expressed.
 
In all such examinations, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of the Developer and the Managing Member), the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals and conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies.
 
Based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
63
 
 
1.
