14
person, as agent or otherwise, who owns or controls, has owned or controlled, or will own or control any interest, direct or indirect, in any other property in the Area.
- Disclosure of Interest. The Developer's counsel has no direct or indirect financial ownership interest in the Developer, the Property or any other aspect of the Project.
- Financial Statements. At DHED's request, the Developer shall provide DHED with financial statements for each fiscal year within 90 days of the close of such fiscal year and, at DHED's request, shall provide such interim statements as DHED may require.

The Developer has the right, before any delinquency occurs, to contest any Governmental Charge by appropriate legal proceedings properly and diligently prosecuted, so long as such proceedings serve to prevent any sale or forfeiture of the Property.

15
8.17 Annual Compliance Report. Beginning with the calendar year in which the Certificate is issued and continuing throughout the Term of the Agreement, the Developer shall submit to DHED the Annual Compliance Report by February 1st of the year following the end of the calendar year to which the Annual Compliance Report relates.

8.18 FOIA and Local Records Act Compliance.
- FOIA. Developer acknowledges that the City is subject to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5ILCS 140/1 et. seq., as amended ("FOIA"). FOIA requires the City to produce records (very broadly defined in FOIA) in response to a FOIA request in a very short period of time, unless the records requested are exempt under the FOIA. If Developer receives a request from the City to produce records within the scope of FOIA, then Developer covenants to comply with such request within 48 hours of the date of such request. Failure by Developer to timely comply with such request will be a breach of this Agreement.
- Exempt Information. Documents that Developer submits to the City under Section 8.17,. (Annual Compliance Report) or otherwise during the term of the Agreement that contain trade secrets and commercial or financial information may be exempt if disclosure would result in competitive harm. However, for documents submitted by Developer to be treated as a trade secret or information that would cause competitive harm, FOIA requires that Developer mark any such documents as "proprietary, privileged or confidential." If Developer marks a document as "proprietary, privileged and confidential", then HED will evaluate whether such document may be withheld under the FOIA. HED, in its discretion, will determine whether a document will be exempted from disclosure, and that determination is subject to review by the Illinois Attorney General's Office and/or the courts.
- Local Records Act. Developer acknowledges that the City is subject to the Local Records Act, 50 ILCS 205/1 et. seq, as amended (the "Local Records Act"). The Local Records Act provides that public records may only be disposed of as provided in the Local Records Act. If requested by the City, Developer covenants to use its best efforts consistently applied to assist the City in its compliance with the Local Records Act concerning records arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated in the Agreement.
SECTION 9. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Developer hereby represents and warrants to the City that it has conducted environmental studies sufficient to conclude that the Project may be constructed, completed and operated in accordance with the requirements of all Environmental Laws and this Agreement. The Developer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims of any kind whatsoever including, without limitation, any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental Laws incurred, suffered by or asserted against the City and relating to the Project or the Property.
SECTION 10. INDEMNIFICATION
16
The Developer agrees to indemnify, pay, defend and hold the City, and its elected and appointed officials, employees, agents and affiliates (individually an "Indemnitee," and collectively the "Indemnitees") harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (and including without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnities shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, suffered, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnitees in any manner directly or indirectly relating or arising out of this Agreement or the Project. The provisions of the undertakings and indemnification set out in this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 11. MAINTAINING RECORDS / RIGHT TO INSPECT
The Developer shall (a) comply with the requirements of Paragraph H of Exhibit D during the Term of the Agreement and cause the other applicable parties to comply with such requirements, and (b) upon three (3) business days' notice, permit any authorized representative of the City to have access to all portions of the Project and the Property during normal business hours to confirm the Developer's compliance with its obligations under this Agreement.
SECTION 12. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
12.01 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events, subject to the provisions of Section 12.03, shall constitute an "Event of Default" by the Developer hereunder:
(a) the failure of the Developer to comply with any covenant or obligation, or the breach by
the Developer of any representation or warranty, under this Agreement or any related agreement;
(b) the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or reorganization
proceedings under any applicable state or federal law, or the commencement of any analogous
statutory or non-statutory proceedings involving the Developer; provided, however, that if such
commencement of proceedings is involuntary, such action shall not constitute an Event of Default
unless such proceedings are not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the commencement of such
proceedings;
- the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Developer, for any substantial part of the Developer's assets or the institution of any proceedings for the dissolution, or the full or partial liquidation, or the merger or consolidation, of the Developer; provided, however, that if such appointment or commencement of proceedings is involuntary, such action shall not constitute an Event of Default unless such appointment is not revoked or such proceedings are not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the commencement thereof;
- the entry of any judgment or order against the Developer or the Property which remains unsatisfied or undischarged and in effect for sixty (60) days after such entry without a stay of enforcement or execution;
- the dissolution of the Developer or the death of any natural person who owns a 50% or more ownership interest in the Developer, unless, in the case of a death, the Developer establishes
17
to the DHED's satisfaction that such death shall not impair the Developer's ability to perform its executory obligations under this Agreement; or
(f) the institution in any court of a criminal proceeding (other than a misdemeanor) against the Developer or any natural person who owns 5% or more ownership interest in the Developer, which is not dismissed within thirty (30) days, or the indictment of the Developer or any natural person who owns such a material interest in the Developer, for any crime (other than a misdemeanor).
12.02 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the City may terminate this
Agreement and all related agreements, and may suspend disbursement of City Funds. 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. However, the City shall not be entitled to recover any City Funds
previously paid to the Developer unless the Event of Default involves a Reimbursement Event.
12.03 Curative Period. In the event the Developer fails to perform any covenant or
obligation or breaches any representation or warranty which the Developer is required to perform
under this Agreement, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred unless the
Developer 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 non-monetary
defaults which are not capable of being cured within such thirty (30) day period, the Developer 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. No such cure period, however,
shall apply to Events of Default described in Section 12(b), (c), (d), (e) or (f), which defaults shall
have the cure periods described therein, if any. In addition, no cure period shall apply to default
arising from a breach of the jobs and operations covenants in Section 8.05 and such breach shall be
an immediate Event of Default.
SECTION 13. MORTGAGING OF THE PROJECT
All mortgages or deeds of trust in place as of the date hereof with respect to the Property or any portion thereof are listed on Exhibit F hereto. No mortgagee shall have the right to succeed to the Developer's rights under this Agreement unless it complies with the first sentence of Section 15.15 hereof.

Waiver by the City or the Developer with respect to any breach of this Agreement shall not be considered or treated as a waiver of the rights of the respective party with respect to any other default or with respect to any particular default, except to the extent specifically waived by the City or the Developer in writing. 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.

- Force Majeure.

Exhibit A Legal Description of the Area (see attached)
26
Exhibit B Description of the Project
In 2004, the ARC's New Chicago Chapter and Disaster Operations Headquarters at the Rauner Center, 2200 West Harrison Avenue, was completed. It is a 4- story, 57,877 square feet, state-of-the art, LEED Certified Building with green roof within the Illinois Medical District. The Rauner Center is the region's Emergency Operation Center ("EOC"), which serves as the disaster command center. Because the Helix Facility has special challenges, some operations were moved a few years ago to the Rauner Center. Some operations, such as the reference laboratory, are housed in Peoria.
As a part of the project, 3 of 4 floors of the Rauner Center will be significantly reconfigured, particularly facilities on the first and second floor to accommodate the addition of the blood services. The first floor will be primarily dedicated to blood distribution, collection and storage. It is optimal for this reconfiguration, as it is accessible to the loading dock area. These renovations also include a dedicated facility for Biomedical Distribution including expanded refrigeration equipment that allows for increased storage of the blood supply and related products.
The Rauner Center's EOC is the epicenter of our disaster relief work, will receive a technological refresh, along with a minor reconfiguration to accommodate more planning partners. The EOC is where disaster operations hold community meetings and partnership forums and, in the case of a disaster, is equipped with media and technology to assist in planning and response efforts.
The second floor renovations will include the new Reference Laboratory, thus eliminating the current need to source these tasks in Peoria, Illinois. These renovations will also accommodate the displaced office and functional requirements from the first floor (IT infrastructure, mailroom, training facilities and office space).
The third floor renovations include the addition of a conference room and work spaces to accommodate displaced functions from the first floor Blood Operations.
The Project shall be completed in accordance with the plans and specifications and the signage requirements described below, copies of which have been provided to DHED and which are or shall
be a part of the Construction Contract: [ ].
There will be no changes to or work on the exterior of the Rauner Center as part of the Project.

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.
29
- 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 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 Area.
- 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.
- Each Employer, in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this Paragraph, 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.
- Each Employer shall include the foregoing provisions of subparagraphs (1) through (4) 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.
- Failure to comply with the employment obligations described in this Paragraph E shall be a basis for the City to pursue its remedies under the Redevelopment Agreement.
F. City Resident Construction Worker Employment Requirement. The Developer agrees for itself and its successors and assigns, and shall contractually obligate its General Contractor and shall cause the General Contractor to contractually obligate its 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, its General Contractor 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 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, the General Contractor 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.
30
Weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) shall be submitted to the Commissioner of 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 the Employer hired the employee should be written in after the employee's name.
The Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor shall provide full access to their employment records to the Chief Procurement Officer, the Commissioner of DHED, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the Inspector General or any duly authorized representative of any of them. The Developer, 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 DHED, affidavits and other supporting documentation will be required of the Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor 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, the General Contractor 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 Paragraph 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 has failed to ensure the fulfillment of the requirement of this Paragraph 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 Paragraph. 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 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, the General Contractor and/or the subcontractors to prosecution. Any retainage to cover contract performance that may become due to the Developer 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 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 shall cause or require the provisions of this Paragraph F to be included in all construction contracts and subcontracts related to the Project.
31
G. The Developer's MBE/WBE Commitment. The Developer 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 Project:
(1) Consistent with the findings which support the Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program (the "MBE/WBE" Program"), Section 2-92-420 et seq., Municipal Code of Chicago, and in reliance upon the provisions of the MBE/WBE Program to the extent contained in, and as qualified by, the provisions of this Paragraph G, during the course of the Project, at least the following percentages of the MBE/WBE Budget attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 (as these budgeted amounts may be reduced to reflect decreased actual costs) shall be expended for contract participation by MBEs or WBEs:
- At least 24 percent by MBEs.
- At least 4 percent by WBEs.
2. For purposes of this Paragraph G only, the Developer (and any party to whom a contract is let by the Developer in connection with the Project) shall be deemed a "contractor" and this Agreement (and any contract let by the Developer in connection with the Project) shall be deemed a "contract" as such terms are defined in Section 2-92-420, Municipal Code of Chicago.
(3) Consistent with Section 2-92-440, Municipal Code of Chicago, the Developer's
MBE/WBE commitment may be achieved in part by the Developer's status as an MBE or WBE (but
only to the extent of any actual work performed on the Project by the Developer), 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 utilizing a MBE or a WBE as a 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 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's MBE/WBE commitment as
described in this Paragraph G. The Developer or the General Contractor may meet all or part of this
commitment through credits received pursuant to Section 2-92-530 of the Municipal Code of
Chicago for the voluntary use of MBEs or WBEs in its activities and operations other than the
Project.
(4) Prior to the City's issuance of a Certificate, the Developer shall provide to DHED a final
report describing its efforts to achieve compliance with this MBE/WBE commitment. Such report
shall include inter alia the name and business address of each MBE and WBE solicited by the
Developer 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 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 DHED in determining the
Developer's compliance with this MBE/WBE commitment. DHED has access to the Developer's
books and records, including, without limitation, payroll records, books of account and tax returns,
and records and books of account in accordance with the Redevelopment Agreement, on five (5)
business days' notice, to allow the City to review the Developer's compliance with its commitment to
MBE/WBE participation and the status of any MBE or WBE performing any portion of the Project.
32
- Upon the disqualification of any MBE or WBE General Contractor or subcontractor, if such status was misrepresented by the disqualified party, 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 Section 2-92-540, Municipal Code of Chicago.
- Any reduction or waiver of the Developer's MBE/WBE commitment as described in this Paragraph G shall be undertaken in accordance with Section 2-92-450, Municipal Code of Chicago.
- Prior to the commencement of the Project, the Developer, the General Contractor and all major subcontractors shall be required to meet with the monitoring staff of DHED with regard to the Developer's compliance with its obligations under this Paragraph G. During this meeting, the Developer shall demonstrate to DHED its plan to achieve its obligations under this Paragraph G, the sufficiency of which shall be approved by DHED. During the Project, the Developer shall, upon the request of the monitoring staff of DHED, such interim reports as the monitoring staff may require. Failure to submit such documentation on a timely basis, or a determination by DHED, upon analysis of the documentation, that the Developer is not complying with its obligations hereunder shall, upon the delivery of written notice to the Developer, be deemed an Event of Default hereunder.
H. Books and Records. The Developer, the general contractor and each subcontractor shall
keep and maintain books and records that fully disclose the total actual cost of the Project and the
disposition of all funds from whatever source allocated thereto and as otherwise necessary to
evidence the Developer's compliance with its obligations under this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, payroll records, general contractor's and subcontractors' sworn statements, general
contracts, subcontracts, purchase orders, waivers of lien, paid receipts and invoices and the like.
Such books and records shall be available at the applicable party's offices for inspection, copying,
audit and examination by an authorized representative of the City, at the Developer's expense.
I. Incorporation in Other Contracts. The general contract and each subcontract shall include
a rider incorporating Paragraphs C, D, E(5) and H of this Exhibit D and the insurance requirements
in Exhibit L. The general contract shall also incorporate in such rider Paragraphs F and G of this

Exhibit K Opinion of Developer's Counsel
[Date of Closing]
City of Chicago
121 North LaSalle Street
Chicago, IL 60602
ATTENTION: Corporation Counsel
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as general counsel to the American National Red Cross, a federally chartered not-for-profit (the "Developer"), in connection with the construction of certain facilities thereon located in the Western/Ogden Redevelopment Project Area (the "Project"). In that capacity, we have examined, among other things, the following agreements, instruments and documents of even date herewith, hereinafter referred to as the "Documents":
- American National Red Cross Redevelopment Agreement (the "Agreement") of even date herewith, executed by the Developer and the City of Chicago (the "City"); and
- all other agreements, instruments and documents executed in connection with the foregoing.
In addition to the foregoing, we have examined
- the original or certified, conformed or photostatic copies of the Developer's (i) Federal Charter, as amended to date, which qualifies the American Red Cross to do business in all states in which the Developer is qualified to do business, (iii) By-Laws, as amended to date, and (iv) records of all corporate proceedings relating to the Project; and
- such other documents, records and legal matters as we have deemed necessary or relevant for purposes of issuing the opinions hereinafter expressed.
In all such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of the Developer), 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 our opinion that:
- The Developer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America, has full power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted, and is in good standing and duly qualified to do business under the laws of every state in which the conduct of its affairs or the ownership of its assets requires such qualification.
- The Developer has full right, power and authority to execute and deliver the Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. Such execution, delivery
and performance will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the Federal Charter or By-Laws or result in a breach or other violation of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any law or regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, government or regulatory authority, or, to the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, instrument or document to which the Developer is a party or by which the Developer or its properties is bound. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, such execution, delivery and performance will not constitute grounds for acceleration of the maturity of any agreement, indenture, undertaking or other instrument to which the Developer is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien, charge or encumbrance on, or security interest in, any of its property pursuant to the provisions of any of the foregoing.
- The execution and delivery of each Document and the performance of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized and approved by all requisite action on the part of the Developer.
- Each of the Documents to which the Developer is a party has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the Developer, and each such Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Developer, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
- To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, no judgments are outstanding against the Developer, nor is there now pending or threatened, any litigation, contested claim or governmental proceeding by or against the Developer or affecting the Developer or its property, or seeking to restrain or enjoin the performance by the Developer of the Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, or contesting the validity thereof. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, the Developer is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, government or regulatory authority or in default in any respect under any law, order, regulation or demand of any governmental agency or instrumentality, a default under which would have a material adverse effect on the Developer's ability to complete its obligations under the Agreement.
- To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, there is no default by the Developer or any other party under any material contract, lease, agreement, instrument or commitment to which the Developer is a party or by which the company or its properties is bound which would materially affect Developer's ability to complete its obligations under the Agreement.
- To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, all of the assets of the Developer relating to the property covered by the Agreement are free and clear of mortgages, liens, pledges, security interests and encumbrances except for those specifically set forth in the Documents.
- The execution, delivery and performance of the Documents by the Developer have not and will not require the consent of any person or the giving of notice to, any exemption by, any registration, declaration or filing with or any taking of any other actions in respect of, any person, including without limitation any court, government or regulatory authority.
H:WPTEXT\TIF\PAYASYOUGOSTREAMLINEDFORM.7(FTNAL)
- To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, the Developer owns or possesses or is licensed or otherwise has the right to use all licenses, permits and other governmental approvals and authorizations, operating authorities, certificates of public convenience, goods carriers permits, authorizations and other rights that are necessary for the operation of its business.
- A federal or state court sitting in the State of Illinois and applying the choice of law provisions of the State of Illinois would enforce the choice of law contained in the Documents and apply the law of the State of Illinois to the transactions evidenced thereby.
We are attorneys admitted to practice in the District of Columbia and we express no opinion as to any laws other than federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the District of Columbia.
This opinion is issued at the Developer's request for the benefit of the City and its counsel, and may not be disclosed to or relied upon by any other person.

We have acted as special counsel to the American National Red Cross, a federally chartered not-for-profit corporation (the "Developer"), in connection with that certain American National Red
Cross Redevelopment Agreement dated as of , 2012 (the "Agreement") between the
Developer and the City of Chicago (the "City") relative to the construction of certain facilities located in the Western/Ogden Redevelopment Project Area (the "Project"). In that capacity, we have examined the following agreements, instruments and documents, hereinafter referred to as the "Transaction Documents":

In our examination of the foregoing, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal competence and capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies or by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission.
For purposes of this opinion letter, we have not reviewed any document other than the Transaction Documents. In particular, we have not reviewed any document that is referred to in or incorporated by reference into the Transaction Documents. We have assumed that there exists no provision in any document that we have not reviewed that bears upon or is inconsistent with the opinions stated herein. We have conducted no independent factual investigation of our own but rather have relied solely upon the foregoing documents, the statements and information set forth therein and the additional matters recited or assumed herein, all of which we have assumed to be true, complete and accurate in all material respects.

We have also assumed, with your permission, that the Developer has been duly organized, formed or created, as the case may be, and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction governing its organization, formation or creation, and is duly qualified or admitted to transact business in each other jurisdiction where the nature of
H:WPTEXT\TIF\PAYASTOUGOSTREAMLINEDFORM.7(FINAL)
the business conducted therein or the property owned or leased therein makes such qualification or admission necessary, with all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the Transaction Documents, and (ii) the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Developer.
Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions, comments, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
- Each Transaction Document constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Developer, enforceable against the Developer in accordance with its terms.

The opinions set forth herein are made as of the date hereof and are subject to, and may be limited by, future changes in factual matters, and we undertake no duty to advise you of the same. The opinions expressed herein are based upon the law in effect (and published or otherwise generally available) on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement these opinions should such law be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

- Our opinions are further subject to the effect of generally applicable rules of law arising from statutes, judicial and administrative decisions, and the rules and regulations of governmental authorities that: (i) limit or affect the enforcement of provisions of a contract that purport to require waiver of the obligations of good faith, fair dealing, diligence and reasonableness; (ii) limit the availability of a remedy under certain circumstances where another remedy has been elected; (iii) limit the enforceability of provisions releasing, exculpating, or exempting a party from, or requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct; (iv) may, where less than all of the contract may be unenforceable, limit the enforceability of the balance of the contract to circumstances in which the unenforceable portion is not an essential part of the
H:WPTEXTAT1FXPAYASYOUGOSTREAMLINEDFORM.7(FINAL)
agreed exchange; and (v) govern and afford judicial discretion regarding the determination of damages and entitlement to attorneys' fees.
(d) We express no opinion as to:

- the enforceability of (A) any rights to indemnification or contribution provided for in the Transaction Documents which are violative of public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any Federal or state securities law, rule or regulation) or the legality of such rights, (B) any provisions purporting to provide to the City the right to receive costs and expenses beyond those reasonably incurred by it, or (C) provisions in the Transaction Documents whose terms are left open for later resolution by the parties.
We do not render any opinions except as set forth above. By your acceptance of this opinion letter, you agree that it may not be relied upon, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to by any other person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent in each instance.
