The time for the performance of the obligations shall be extended only for the period of the delay and only if the Developer requests it in writing of the City within thirty (30) days after the beginning of any such delay.
Breach.
Generally. If the Developer defaults in performing its obligations under this Agreement, the City shall deliver written notice of such default, after which the Developer shall have a 45-day cure period to remedy such default. If the default is not capable of being cured within the 45-day period, then provided the Developer has commenced to cure the default and is diligently proceeding to cure the default within the 45-day period, and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure through to completion, then the 45-day period shall be extended for the length of time that is reasonably necessary to cure the default.

Unless being contested in good faith by the Developer, the Developer fails to timely pay real estate taxes or assessments affecting the Property or suffers or permits any levy or attachment, material suppliers' or mechanics' lien, or any other lien or encumbrance unauthorized by this Agreement to attach to the Property, which default is not cured pursuant to Section 18.3.a.; or
The Developer makes an assignment, pledge, unpermitted financing, encumbrance, transfer or other disposition in violation of this Agreement (no notice or cure period shall apply); or

12
After Conveyance. If an Event of Default occurs after the Closing but prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion, and the default is not cured in the time period provided for in this Section 18.3, the City may terminate this Agreement and exercise any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to re-enter and take possession of the City Parcels, terminate the estate conveyed to the Developer, and record the Reconveyance Deed for the purpose of revesting title to the City Parcels in the City (the "Right of Reverter"); provided, however, the City's Right of Reverter shall be limited by, and shall not defeat, render invalid, or limit in any way, the lien of any mortgage authorized by this Agreement. If the Reconveyance Deed is recorded, the Developer shall be responsible for all real estate taxes and assessments which accrued during the period the City Parcels were owned by the Developer, and shall cause the release of all liens or encumbrances placed on the City Parcels during the period of time the City Parcels were owned by the Developer. The Developer will cooperate with the City to ensure that if the City records the Reconveyance Deed, such recording is effective for purposes of transferring title to the City Parcels to the City, subject only to those title exceptions that were on title as of the date and time that the City conveyed the City Parcels to the Developer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, prior to its exercise of its Right of Reverter, the City shall provide written notice to the Developer of its intent to exercise its Right of Reverter, and the Developer shall have an additional ninety (90) days to cure the applicable Event of Default.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the City's Right of Reverter shall terminate on the date that is one (1) day after the date on which the City issues the Certificate of Completion.
Waiver and Estoppel. Any delay by the City in instituting or prosecuting any actions or proceedings or otherwise asserting its rights shall not operate as a waiver of such rights or operate to deprive the City of or limit such rights in any way.

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 print 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 present opportunities for training and employment of low and moderate income residents of the City, and 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 seq. (1993), and any subsequent amendments and regulations promulgated thereto.

Section 22.1 shall be a basis for the City to pursue remedies under the provisions of Section 18.
22.2 City Resident Employment Requirement. The Developer agrees, and shall contractually obligate each Employer to agree, that during the construction of the 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 of Chicago (at least fifty percent); provided, however, that doing so does not violate a collective bargaining agreement of Developer or an Employer and 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 of the 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 ofthe Municipal Code of Chicago 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.

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 requirements of this Section 22.2 concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
If the City determines that the Developer or an Employer failed to ensure the fulfillment of the requirements of this Section 22.2 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 22.2. If such non-compliance is not remedied in accordance with the breach and cure provisions of Section 18.3. the parties agree that 1/20 of 1 percent (.05%) of the aggregate hard construction costs set forth in the Final Project 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.
(i) 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

Upon the disqualification of any MBE or WBE general contractor or subcontractor, if the disqualified party misrepresented such status, the Developer 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 of Chicago, as applicable.
