If any such mortgagee or its affiliate succeeds to GSDC's interest in the City Property prior to the expiration of the Subsequent Compliance Period, whether by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and thereafter transfers its interest in the City Property to another party, such transferee shall be obligated to
 
15

The Developer Parties, on behalf of themselves, their parent companies and the respective officers, directors, employees, Agents, successors, and assigns of the Developer Parties and their parent companies (collectively, the "Releasing Parties"), hereby release, relinquish and forever discharge the City, and its officers, employees and Agents (collectively, the "City Parties") from and against any and all Losses which the Releasing Parties ever had, now have, or hereafter may have, whether grounded in tort or contract or otherwise, in any and all courts or other forums, of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with, directly or indirectly (a) any environmental contamination, pollution or hazards associated with the City Property or any improvements, facilities or operations located or formerly located thereon, including, without limitation, any release, emission, discharge, generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of Hazardous Substances, or threatened release, emission or discharge of Hazardous Substances; (b) the structural, physical or environmental condition of the City Property, including, without limitation, the presence or suspected presence of Hazardous Substances in, on, under or about the City Property or the migration of Hazardous Substances from or to other property; (c) any violation of, compliance with, enforcement of or liability under any Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, any Losses arising under CERCLA, and (d) any investigation, cleanup, monitoring, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision or other third party in connection or associated with the City Property or any improvements, facilities or operations located or formerly located thereon (collectively, "Released Claims").

  2. Release Runs with the Land. The covenant of release in Section 23.4 shall run with the City Property, and shall be binding upon all successors and assigns of the Developer Parties with respect to the City Property, including, without limitation, each and every person, firm, corporation, limited liability company, trust or other entity owning, leasing, occupying, using or possessing any portion of the City Property under or through the Developer Parties following the date of the Deed.

It is expressly agreed and understood by and between the Developer Parties and the City that, should any future obligation of the Developer Parties or the Releasing Parties arise or be alleged to arise in connection with any environmental, soil or other condition of the City Property, neither the Developer Parties nor the Releasing Parties will assert that those obligations must be satisfied in whole or in part by the City because this Section 23 contains a full, complete and final release of all such claims.
21
 
 
23.6 Survival. This Section 23 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement (regardless of the reason for such termination).
 
SECTION 24.  DEVELOPER'S EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS.
 
24.1 Employment Opportunity. GSDC agrees, and shall contractually obligate its various contractors, subcontractors and any Affiliate of GSDC operating on the City Property (collectively, the "Employers" and individually, an "Employer") to agree, that with respect to the provision of services in connection with the construction of the Project:
  1. Neither GSDC nor any 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, Section 2-160-010 et seg. of the Municipal Code, as amended from time to time (the "Human Rights Ordinance"). GSDC and each Employer shall take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are hired and employed without discrimination based upon the foregoing grounds, 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. GSDC and 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, GSDC and each Employer, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees, shall state that all gualified applicants shall receive consideration for employment without discrimination based upon the foregoing grounds.
  2. To the greatest extent feasible, GSDC and each Employer shall (i) present opportunities for training and employment of low and moderate income residents of the City, and (ii) provide that contracts for work in connection with the construction of the Project be awarded to business concerns which are located in or owned in substantial part by persons residing in, the City.
  3. GSDC and each Employer shall comply with all federal, state and local equal employment and affirmative action statutes, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Human Rights Ordinance and the Illinois Human Rights Act, 775 ILCS 5/1-101 et seg. (1993), both as amended from time to time, and any regulations promulgated thereunder.
  4. GSDC, in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this Section 24.1, shall cooperate with and promptly and accurately respond to inguiries by the City, which has the responsibility to observe and report compliance with equal employment opportunity regulations of federal, state and municipal agencies.
  5. GSDC and each Employer shall include the foregoing provisions of subparagraphs (a) through (d) in every contract entered into in connection with the construction of 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 City Property, so that each such provision shall be binding upon each contractor, subcontractor or Affiliate, as the case may be.
22
 
 
(f)      Failure to comply with the employment obligations described in this Section
24.1      shall be a basis for the City to pursue remedies against GSDC under the provisions of
Section 20.
 
24.2      City Resident Employment Requirement.
  1. GSDC agrees, and shall contractually obligate each Employer to agree, that during the construction of the Project, GSDC and each Employer shall comply with the minimum percentage of total worker hours performed by actual residents of the City of Chicago as specified in Section 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code (at least fifty percent); provided, however, that in addition to complying with this percentage, GSDC and each Employer shall be required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified residents of the City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions.
  2. GSDC and the Employers 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 in accordance with standards and procedures developed by the chief procurement officer of the City of Chicago.
  3. "Actual residents of the City of Chicago" shall mean persons domiciled within the City of Chicago. The domicile is an individual's one and only true, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment.
  4. GSDC and the Employers shall provide for the maintenance of adequate employee residency records to ensure that actual Chicago residents are employed on the construction of the Project. GSDC and the Employers shall maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every Chicago employee's actual record of residence.
  5. GSDC and the Employers shall submit weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) to DHED 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 GSDC or the Employer hired the employee should be written in after the employee's name.
  6. GSDC and the Employers shall provide full access to their employment records to the chief procurement officer, DHED, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the inspector general, or any duly authorized representative thereof. GSDC and the Employers shall maintain all relevant personnel data and records for a period of at least three (3) years after the issuance of the Certificate of Completion.
  7. At the direction of DHED, GSDC and the Employers shall provide affidavits and other supporting documentation to verify or clarify an employee's actual address when doubt or lack of clarity has arisen.
  8. Good faith efforts on the part of GSDC and the Employers to provide work for 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 24.2 concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
 
23
 
 
(i) If the City determines that GSDC or an Employer failed to ensure the fulfillment of the requirements of this Section 24.2 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 24.2. If such non-compliance is not remedied in accordance with the breach and cure provisions of Section 20.3, the parties agree that 1/20 of 1 percent (.05%) of the aggregate hard construction costs set forth in the Budget shall be surrendered by GSDC 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 GSDC and/or the other Employers or employees to prosecution.
 
(j) 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.
 
(k) GSDC shall cause or require the provisions of this Section 24.2 to be included in all construction contracts and subcontracts related to the construction of the Project.
 
24.3 GSDC's MBE/WBE Commitment. GSDC agrees for itself and its successors and assigns, and, if necessary to meet the requirements set forth herein, shall contractually obligate the general contractor to agree, that during the construction of the Project:
  1. Consistent with the findings which support, as applicable, (i) the Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program, Section 2-92-420 et seg, Municipal Code (the "Procurement Program"), and (ii) the Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Construction Program, Section 2-92-650 et seg., Municipal Code (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 gualified by, the provisions of this Section 24.3, during the course of construction of the Project, at least 24% of the aggregate hard construction costs shall be expended for contract participation by minority-owned businesses and at least 4% of the aggregate hard construction costs shall be expended for contract participation by women-owned businesses.
    1. For purposes of this Section 24.3 only:
  1. GSDC (and any party to whom a contract is let by GSDC in connection with the Project) shall be deemed a "contractor" and this Agreement (and any contract let by GSDC in connection with the Project) shall be deemed a "contract" or a "construction contract" as such terms are defined in Sections 2-92-420 and 2-92-670, Municipal Code, as applicable.
  2. 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.

Consistent with Sections 2-92-440 and 2-92-720, Municipal Code, GSDC's MBE/WBE commitment may be achieved in part by GSDC's status as an MBE or WBE (but only to the extent of any actual work performed on the Project by GSDC) 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 GSDC 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 construction of the Project to one or more MBEs or WBEs; by the purchase of materials or services used in the construction of 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 GSDC's MBE/WBE commitment as described in this Section 24.3. In accordance with Section 2-92-730, Municipal Code, GSDC shall not substitute any MBE or WBE general contractor or subcontractor without the prior written approval of DHED.
  2. GSDC shall deliver quarterly reports to the City's monitoring staff during the construction of 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 GSDC 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 construction of 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 GSDC's compliance with this MBE/WBE commitment. GSDC shall maintain records of all relevant data with respect to the utilization of MBEs and WBEs in connection with the construction of the Project for at least five (5) years after completion of the Project, and the City's monitoring staff shall have access to all such records maintained by GSDC, on prior notice of at least five (5) business days, to allow the City to review GSDC's compliance with its commitment to MBE/WBE participation and the status of any MBE or WBE performing any portion ofthe construction ofthe Project.
  3. Upon the disqualification of any MBE or WBE general contractor or subcontractor, if the disqualified party misrepresented such status, GSDC shall be 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, as applicable.
  4. Any reduction or waiver of GSDC's MBE/WBE commitment as described in this Section 24.3 shall be undertaken in accordance with Sections 2-92-450 and 2-92-730, Municipal Code, as applicable.
25
 
 
24.4 Pre-Construction Conference and Post-Closing Compliance Requirements. Not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the Closing Date, GSDC and GSDC's general contractor and all major subcontractors shall meet with DHED monitoring staff regarding compliance with all Section 24 requirements.

Failure to submit such documentation on a timely basis, or a determination by the City's monitoring staff, upon analysis of the documentation, that GSDC is not complying with its obligations under this Section 24, shall, upon the delivery of written notice to GSDC, 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: (x) issue a written demand to GSDC to halt construction of the Project, (y) withhold any further payment of any City funds to GSDC or the general contractor, or (z) seek any other remedies against GSDC available at law or in equity.

During the period while this Agreement is executory, any violation of the Waste Sections by the Developer Parties, or their general contractors or subcontractors, whether or not relating to the performance of this Agreement, constitutes a breach of and an event of default under this Agreement, for which the opportunity to cure, if curable, will be granted only at the sole designation of the Commissioner of DHED. Such breach and default entitles the City to all remedies under this Agreement, at law or in equity. This section does not limit the duty of the Developer Parties, and their general contractors and subcontractors, to comply with all applicable Laws, in effect now or later, and whether or not they appear in this Agreement. Non-compliance with these terms and conditions may be used by the City as grounds for the termination of this Agreement, and may further affect the eligibility of the Developer Parties for future contract awards.

31
 
  1. The Developer Parties are aware that City policy prohibits City employees from directing any individual to apply for a position with the Developer Parties, either as an employee or as a subcontractor, and from directing the Developer Parties to hire an individual as an employee or as a subcontractor.
