The Developer, on behalf of itself and the other Developer Parties, or anyone claiming by, through, or under the Developer Parties, hereby releases, relinquishes and forever discharges the City from and against any and all Losses which the Developer or any of the Developer 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 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 ofthe Property, including, without limitation, the presence or suspected presence of Hazardous Substances in, on, under or about the Property or the migration of Hazardous Substances from or to other property, unless the Hazardous Substances migrate from property owned by the City to the 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 Property or any improvements, facilities or operations located or formerly located thereon (collectively, "Released Claims").

SECTION 23. DEVELOPER'S EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS.

Neither the Developer 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 seq. of the Municipal Code, as amended from time to time (the "Human Rights Ordinance"). The Developer 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. The Developer 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, the Developer and each Employer, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees, shall state that all qualified applicants shall receive consideration for employment without discrimination based upon the foregoing grounds.
To the greatest extent feasible, the Developer 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.
The Developer 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.
The Developer, in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this Section 23.1, 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.
The Developer 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 Property, so that each such provision shall be binding upon each contractor, subcontractor or affiliate, as the case may be.
Failure to comply with the employment obligations described in this Section 23.1 shall be a basis for the City to pursue remedies under the provisions of Section 19.
21
23.2 City Resident Employment Requirement.
The Developer agrees, and shall contractually obligate each Employer to agree, that during the construction ofthe Project, the Developer 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, the Developer and each Employer shall be required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified residents ofthe City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions.
The Developer 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.
"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.
The Developer 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. The Developer and the Employers shall maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every Chicago employee's actual record of residence.
The Developer and the Employers shall submit weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) to DOH 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 Developer or Employer hired the employee should be written in after the employee's name.
The Developer and the Employers shall provide full access to their employment records to the chief procurement officer, DOH, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the inspector general, or any duly authorized representative thereof. The Developer 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.
At the direction of DOH, the Developer 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.
Good faith efforts on the part of the Developer 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
22
requirements of this Section 23.2 concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
(i) If the City determines that the Developer or an Employer failed to ensure the fulfillment of the requirements of this Section 23.2 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 23.2. If such non-compliance is not remedied in accordance with the breach and cure provisions of Section 19.3, 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 the 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 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 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.

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.
Any reduction or waiver of the Developer's MBE/WBE commitment as described in this Section 23.3 shall be undertaken in accordance with Sections 2-92-450 and 2-92-730, Municipal Code, as applicable.

SECTION 30. 2014 CITY HIRING PLAN
The City is subject to the June 16, 2014 "City of Chicago Hiring Plan" (as amended, the "2014 City Hiring Plan") entered in Shakman v.

Among other things, the 2014 City Hiring Plan prohibits the City from hiring persons as governmental employees in non-exempt positions on the basis of political reasons or factors.
The Developer is aware that City policy prohibits City employees from directing any individual to apply for a position with the Developer, either as an employee or as a subcontractor, and from directing the Developer to hire an individual as an employee or as a subcontractor. Accordingly, the Developer must follow its own hiring and contracting procedures, without being influenced by City employees. Any and all personnel provided by the Developer under this Agreement are employees or subcontractors of the 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 the Developer.

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.
In the event of any communication to the Developer by a City employee or City official in violation of Section 32.2 above, or advocating a violation of Section 32.3 above, the Developer will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, report such communication to the Hiring Oversight Section ofthe City's Office ofthe Inspector General (the "OIG"), and also to the head of the relevant City department utilizing services provided under this Agreement. The Developer will also cooperate with any inquiries by the OIG.
SECTION 31. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN ELIGIBILITY TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE CITY.
Failure by the Developer or any controlling person (as defined in Section 1-23-010 ofthe Municipal Code) thereof to maintain eligibility to do business with the City of Chicago as required by Section 1-23-030 of the Municipal Code shall be grounds for termination of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Developer shall at all times comply with Section 2-154-020 ofthe Municipal Code.
31

Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to and bind the successors and assigns ofthe parties.
Venue and Consent to Jurisdiction. If there is a lawsuit under this Agreement, each Party agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Cook County, the State of Illinois and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
