NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Article One: Incorporation of Recitals
The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
Article Two: The Project
1. The plans and specifications for the Project shall at a minimum meet the general requirements for the Facility as set forth in Exhibit B hereof and shall be provided to the City by the Board prior to the disbursement of City Funds relating to the Project. The Board shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, codes and executive orders, as well as all policies, programs and procedures of the Board, all as may be in effect or as amended from time to time, pertaining to or affecting the Project or the Board as related thereto. The Board shall include a certification of such compliance with each request for City Funds hereunder and at the time the Project is completed. The City shall be entitled to rely on this certification without further inquiry. Upon the City's request, the Board shall provide evidence satisfactory to the City of such compliance.




|1010|
2. In all contracts relating to the Project, the Board agrees to require the contractor to name the City as an additional insured on insurance coverages and to require the contractor to indemnify the City from all claims, damages, demands, losses, suits, actions, judgments and expenses including but not limited to attorney's fees arising out of or resulting from work on the Project by the contractor or contractor's suppliers, employees, or agents.
Article Three: Funding
Upon completion of the Project, the Board shall provide the Department with a Requisition Form, in the form of Exhibit E hereto, along with: (i) a cost itemization of the applicable portions of the budget attached as Exhibit F hereto; (ii) evidence of the expenditures upon TIF-Funded Improvements for which the Board seeks reimbursement; and (iii) all other documentation described in Exhibit E. Requisition for reimbursement of TIF-Funded Improvements out of the City Funds shall be made not more than four (4) times per year (or as otherwise permitted by the Department). The City shall disburse the City Funds to the Board within 45 days after the City's approval of a Requisition Form. The Board will only request disbursement of City Funds and the City will only disburse City Funds for the costs of the Project, to the extent that such costs are TIF-Funded Improvements.
The current estimate of the cost of the Project is approximately $3,805,000.00. The Board has delivered to the Commissioner, and the Commissioner hereby approves, a detailed project budget for the Project, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit F. The Board certifies that it has identified sources of funds (including the City Funds) sufficient to complete the Project. The Board agrees that the City will only contribute the City Funds to the Project and that all costs of completing the Project over the City Funds shall be the sole responsibility of the Board. If the Board at any point does not have sufficient funds to complete the Project, the Board shall so notify the City in writing, and the Board may narrow the scope of the Project as agreed with the City in order to construct the Facility with the available funds.
Attached as Exhibit G and incorporated herein is a preliminary list of capital improvements, land assembly costs, relocation costs and other costs, if any, recognized by the City as being eligible redevelopment project costs under the Act with respect to the Project, to be paid for out of City Funds ("TIF-Funded Improvements"); and to the extent the TIF-Funded Improvements are included as taxing district capital costs under the Act, the Board acknowledges that the TIF-Funded Improvements are costs for capital improvements and the City acknowledges it has determined that these TIF-Funded Improvements are necessary and directly result from the Pilsen Redevelopment Plan. Prior to the expenditure of City Funds on the Project, the Commissioner, based upon the detailed project budget, shall make such modifications to Exhibit G as he or she wishes in his or her discretion to account for all of the City Funds to be expended under this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) [intentionally omitted], (b) all TIF-Funded Improvements shall (i) qualify as redevelopment project costs under the Act, (ii) qualify as eligible costs under the Pilsen Redevelopment Plan; and (iii) be improvements that the Commissioner has agreed to pay for out of City Funds, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
If the aggregate cost of the Project is less than the amount of the City Funds contemplated by this Agreement, the Board shall have no claim to the difference between the amount of the City Funds contemplated by this Agreement and the amount of the City Funds actually paid by the City to the Board and expended by the Board on the Project.
If requested by the City, the Board shall provide to the City quarterly reports on the progress of the Project and reasonable access to its books and records relating to the Project.
Article Four: Term
The Term of the Agreement shall commence on the date of its execution and shall expire on the date on which the Pilsen Redevelopment Area is no longer in effect (through and including



|1010|
December 31, 2022).
Article Five: Indemnity; Default
The Board agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the City, its officers, officials, members, employees and agents harmless from and against any losses, costs, damages, liabilities, claims, suits, actions, causes of action and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) suffered or incurred by the City arising from or in connection with (i) the Board's failure to comply with any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained within this Agreement, or (ii) the Board's or any contractor's failure to pay general contractors, subcontractors or materialmen in connection with the Project.
The failure of the Board to perform, keep or observe any of the covenants, conditions, promises, agreements or obligations of the Board under this Agreement or any other agreement directly related to this Agreement shall constitute an "Event of Default" by the Board hereunder.

The City may, in any court of competent jurisdiction by any action or proceeding at law or in equity, pursue and secure any available remedy, including but not limited to injunctive relief or the specific performance of the agreements contained herein.
In the event the Board shall fail to perform a covenant which the Board is required to perform under this Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred unless the Board has failed to cure such default within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a written notice from the City specifying the nature of the default; provided, however, with respect to those defaults which are not capable of being cured within such thirty (30) day period, the Board shall not be deemed to have committed an Event of Default under this Agreement if it has commenced to cure the alleged default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes the cure of such default until the same has been cured.
The failure of the City to perform, keep or observe any of the covenants, conditions, promises, agreements or obligations of the City under this Agreement or any other agreement directly related to this Agreement shall constitute an "Event of Default" by the City hereunder. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Board may terminate this Agreement and any other agreement directly related to this Agreement. The Board may, in any court of competent jurisdiction by any action or proceeding at law or in equity, pursue and secure injunctive relief or the specific performance of the agreements contained herein.
