HED has the right, in its sole discretion, to disallow any such expenditure (not listed on Exhibit H) as a Prior Expenditure as of the date of this Agreement. Exhibit H identifies the prior expenditures approved by HED as Prior Expenditures.

ARTICLE SIX: AGREEMENTS WITH CONTRACTORS

- Prior to entering into an agreement with a General Contractor or any subcontractor for construction of the Project, (or any phase thereof) after the Closing Date, Developer must solicit, or must cause the General Contractor to solicit, bids from qualified contractors eligible to do business with the City of Chicago. For the TIF-Funded Improvements, Developer must cause the General Contractor to select the subcontractor submitting the lowest responsible bid who can complete the Project (or phase thereof) in a timely and good and workmanlike manner; provided, however, that Developer may consider a bidder's ability to meet the unique challenges of the Project in evaluating the "lowest responsible bid" rather than the lowest bid. If the General Contractor selects any subcontractor submitting other than the lowest responsible bid for the TIF-Funded Improvements, the difference between the lowest responsible bid and the bid selected may not be paid out of City Funds. Because Developer may have entered into the Construction Contract and other related contracts prior to the date of this Agreement, HED may elect to ratify Developer's actions under this sub-section.
- Developer must submit copies of the Construction Contract to HED as required under Section 6.02 below. Photocopies of all subcontracts entered or to be entered into in connection with the TIF-Funded Improvements must be provided to HED within 20 Business Days of the execution thereof, or such other period of time as HED shall request.

- Construction Contract. Unless otherwise waived by HED, prior to the execution thereof, Developer must deliver to HED a copy of the proposed Construction Contract with the General Contractor selected to work on the TIF-Funded Improvements under Section 6.01 above, for HED's prior written approval. Within 10 Business Days after execution of such contract by Developer, the General Contractor and any other parties thereto, Developer must
16
deliver to HED and Corporation Counsel a certified copy of such contract together with any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.
- Performance and Payment Bonds. Prior to commencement of construction of any work in the public way, if any, Developer will require that the General Contractor and any applicable subcontractor(s) be bonded (as to such work in the public way) for their respective payment and performance by sureties having an AA rating or better using the payment and performance bond form attached as Exhibit L. The City will be named as obligee or co-obligee on such bond.
- Employment Opportunity. Developer will contractually obligate and cause the General Contractor to agree and contractually obligate each subcontractor to agree to the provisions of Article Ten.
- Other Provisions. In addition to the requirements of this Article Six, the Construction Contract and each contract with any subcontractor must contain provisions required under Section 3.04 (Change Orders), Section 8.08 (Prevailing Wage), Section 10.01(e) (Employment Opportunity), Section 10.02 (City Resident Construction Worker Employment Requirement), Section 10.03 (Developer's MBE/WBE Commitment), Article Twelve (Insurance) and Section 14.01 (Books and Records).

HED will respond to Developer's written request for a Certificate within 30 days by issuing either a Certificate or a written statement detailing the ways in which the Project does not conform to this Agreement or has not been satisfactorily completed and the measures which must be taken by Developer in order to obtain the Certificate. Developer may resubmit a written request for a Certificate upon completion of such measures, and the City will respond within 30 days in the same way as the procedure for the initial request. Such process may repeat until the City issues a Certificate.
- Effect of Issuance of Certificate; Continuing Obligations.
(a) The Certificate relates only to the construction of the Project, and upon its issuance, the City will certify that the terms of the Agreement specifically related to Developer's obligation to complete such activities have been satisfied. After the issuance of a Certificate, however, all executory terms and conditions of this Agreement and all representations and covenants contained herein will continue to remain in full force and effect throughout the Term
17
of the Agreement as to the parties described in the following paragraph, and the issuance of the Certificate must not be construed as a waiver by the City of any of its rights and remedies under such executory terms.
(b) Those covenants specifically described at Section 8.02 (Covenant to Redevelop), Section 8.16 (Real Estate Provisions), and Section 8.18 (Occupancy, Operations and Land Use Covenants) as covenants that run with the land and the leasehold interest in the Project are the only covenants in this Agreement intended to be binding upon any transferee of the Project (including an assignee as described in the following sentence) throughout the Term of the Agreement notwithstanding the issuance of a Certificate (except with respect to Section 8.02). The other executory terms of this Agreement that remain after the issuance of a Certificate will be binding only upon Developer or a permitted assignee of Developer who, as provided in Section 18.15 (Assignment) of this Agreement, has contracted to take an assignment of Developer's rights under this Agreement and assume Developer's liabilities hereunder.

- Notice of Expiration or Termination. Upon the expiration of the Term of the Agreement or earlier termination of this Agreement, HED will provide Developer, at Developer's written request, with a written notice in recordable form stating that the Term of the Agreement has expired or the Agreement has been terminated.

will immediately transmit to the City an executed original of this Agreement showing the date and recording number of record.
8.16 Real Estate Provisions.
(a) Governmental Charges.
- Payment of Governmental Charges. Subject to subsection (ii) below. Developer agrees to pay or cause to be paid when due all Governmental Charges (as defined below) which are assessed or imposed upon Developer, or the Project, or become due and payable, and which create, may create, or appear to create a lien upon Developer or the Project. "Governmental Charge" means all Federal, State, county, the City, or other governmental (or any instrumentality, division, agency, body, or department thereof) taxes, levies, assessments, charges, liens, claims or encumbrances relating to Developer or the Project, including but not limited to real estate taxes.
- Right to Contest. Developer has the right before any delinquency occurs to contest or object in good faith to the amount or validity of any Governmental Charge by appropriate legal proceedings properly and diligently instituted and prosecuted in such manner as shall stay the collection of the contested Governmental Charge and prevent the imposition of a lien or the sale or transfer or forfeiture of the Project. Developer's right to challenge real estate taxes applicable to the Project is limited as provided for in Section 8.16(c) below; provided, that such real estate taxes must be paid in full when due. No such contest or objection will be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying or extending Developer's covenants to pay any such Governmental Charge at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement unless Developer has given prior written notice to HED of Developer's intent to contest or object to a Governmental Charge and, unless, at HED's sole option:
(x) Developer will demonstrate to HED's satisfaction that legal proceedings instituted by Developer contesting or objecting to a Governmental Charge will conclusively operate to prevent or remove a lien against, or the sale or transfer or forfeiture of, all or any part of the Project to satisfy such Governmental Charge prior to final determination of such proceedings, and/or;
(y) Developer will furnish a good and sufficient bond or other security satisfactory to HED in such form and amounts as HED may require, or a good and sufficient undertaking as may be required or permitted by law to accomplish a stay of any such sale or transfer or forfeiture of the Project during the pendency of such contest, adequate to pay fully any such contested Governmental Charge and all interest and penalties upon the adverse determination of such contest.
(b) Developer's Failure To Pay Or Discharge Lien. If Developer fails to pay or
24
contest any Governmental Charge or to obtain discharge of the same, Developer will advise HED thereof in writing, at which time HED may, but will not be obligated to, and without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of Developer under this Agreement, in HED's sole discretion, make such payment, or any part thereof, or obtain such discharge and take any other action with respect thereto which HED deems advisable. All sums so paid by HED, if any, and any expenses, if any, including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, will be promptly disbursed to HED by Developer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this paragraph must not be construed to obligate the City to pay any such Governmental Charge.

25
contained in this Section 8.16(c) are covenants running with the land. This Agreement will be recorded by Developer as a memorandum thereof, at Developer's expense, with the Cook County Recorder of Deeds on the Closing Date. These restrictions will be binding upon Developer and its agents, representatives, lessees, successors, assigns and transferees from and after the date hereof, provided however, that the covenants will be released when the Redevelopment Area is no longer in effect, or upon expiration of the Term of Agreement. Developer agrees that any sale, transfer, lease, conveyance, or transfer of title to all or any portion of the Project from and after the date hereof, shall be made explicitly subject to such covenants and restrictions.

If Developer has: (x) two (2) consecutive years of non-compliance; or (y) three (3) non-consecutive years of non-compliance, then such event shall be considered an Event of Default, and the City will be under no further obligation to pay City Funds to Developer.
(d) Default by Landlord under the Lease.

28

Developer acknowledges receipt of a copy of Section 2-156-030(b) of the Municipal Code and that Developer has read and understands such provision. Under Section 2-156-030(b) of the Municipal Code of Chicago, it is illegal for any elected official of the City, or any person acting at the direction of such official, to contact, either orally or in writing, any other City official or employee with respect to any matter involving any person with whom the elected official has a "Business Relationship" (as defined in Section 2-156-080(b)(2) of the Municipal Code), or to participate in any discussion of any City Council committee hearing or in any City Council meeting or to vote on any matter involving the person with whom an elected official has a Business Relationship. Violation of Section 2-156-030(b) by any elected official, or any person acting at the direction of such official, with respect to this Agreement, or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, will be grounds for termination of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Developer represents that it understands and will abide by all provisions of Chapter 2-56 and 2-55 of the Municipal Code and that it will inform subcontractors of this provision and require their compliance.
- Prohibition on Certain Contributions - Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-
4. Neither Developer or any person or entity who directly or indirectly has an ownership or beneficial interest in Developer of more than 7.5% ("Owners"), spouses and domestic partners of such Owners, Developer's Subcontractors, any person or entity who directly or indirectly has an ownership or beneficial interest in any Subcontractor of more than 7.5% ("Sub-owners") and spouses and domestic partners of such Sub-owners (Developer and all the other preceding classes of persons and entities are together, the "Identified Parties"), shall make a contribution of any amount to the Mayor of the City of Chicago (the "Mayor") or to his political fundraising committee during: (i) the bid or other solicitation process for this Agreement or Other Agreement, including while this Agreement or Other Agreement is executory, (ii) the term of this Agreement or any Other Agreement between City and Developer, and/or (iii) any period in which an extension of this Agreement or Other Agreement with the City is being sought or negotiated.
Developer represents and warrants that since the date of public advertisement of the specification, request for qualifications, request for proposals or request for information (or any combination of those requests) or, if not competitively procured, from the date the City approached the Developer or the date the Developer approached the City, as applicable,
29
regarding the formulation of this Agreement, no Identified Parties have made a contribution of any amount to the Mayor or to his political fundraising committee.
Developer shall not: (a) coerce, compel or intimidate its employees to make a contribution of any amount to the Mayor or to the Mayor's political fundraising committee; (b) reimburse its employees for a contribution of any amount made to the Mayor or to the Mayor's political fundraising committee; or (c) bundle or solicit others to bundle contributions to the Mayor or to his political fundraising committee.
The Identified Parties must not engage in any conduct whatsoever designed to intentionally violate this provision or Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011 -4 or to entice, direct or solicit others to intentionally violate this provision or Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4.
Violation of, non-compliance with, misrepresentation with respect to, or breach of any covenant or warranty under this provision or violation of Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4 constitutes a breach and default under this Agreement, and under any Other Agreement for which no opportunity to cure will be granted. Such breach and default entitles the City to all remedies (including without limitation termination for default) under this Agreement, under any Other Agreement, at law and in equity. This provision amends any Other Agreement and supersedes any inconsistent provision contained therein.
If applicable, if Developer violates this provision or Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4 prior to award of the Agreement resulting from this specification, then HED may reject Developer's bid.
For purposes of this provision:
"Other Agreement" means any agreement entered into between the Developer and the City that is (i) formed under the authority of MCC Ch. 2-92; (ii) for the purchase, sale or lease of real or personal property; or (iii) for materials, supplies, equipment or services which are approved and/or authorized by the City Council.
"Contribution" means a "political contribution" as defined in MCC Ch. 2-156, as amended.
"Political fundraising committee" means a "political fundraising committee" as
defined in MCC Ch. 2-156, as amended.
8.28 Shakman Accord .
(a) The City is subject to the May 31, 2007 Order entitled "Agreed Settlement Order and Accord" (the "Shakman Accord") and the June 24, 2011 "City of Chicago Hiring Plan" (the
30
"City Hiring Plan") entered in Shakman v. Democratic Organization of Cook County, Case No 69 C 2145 (United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois). Among other things, the Shakman Accord and the City Hiring Plan prohibit the City from hiring persons as governmental employees in non-exempt positions on the basis of political reasons or factors.
- Developer is aware that City policy prohibits City employees from directing any individual to apply for a position with Developer, either as an employee or as a subcontractor, and from directing Developer to hire an individual as an employee or as a subcontractor. Accordingly, Developer must follow its own hiring and contracting procedures, without being influenced by City employees. Any and all personnel provided by Developer under this Agreement are employees or subcontractors of 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 Developer.
- Developer will not condition, base, or knowingly prejudice or affect any term or aspect of the employment of any personnel provided under this Agreement, or offer employment to any individual to provide services under this Agreement, based upon or because of any political reason or factor, including, without limitation, any individual's political affiliation, membership in a political organization or party, political support or activity, political financial contributions, promises of such political support, activity or financial contributions, or such individual's political sponsorship or recommendation. 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 Developer by a City employee or City official in violation of paragraph (b) above, or advocating a violation of paragraph (c) above. Developer will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, report such communication to the Hiring Oversight Section of the City's Office of the Inspector General ('TGO Hiring Oversight"), and also to the Commissioner of HED. Developer will also cooperate with any inquiries by IGO Hiring Oversight or the Shakman Monitor's Office related to this Agreement.
8.29 FOIA and Local Records Act Compliance.
(a) FOIA. Developer acknowledges that the City is subject to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140/1 et. seq as amended ("FOIA"). The FOIA requires the City to produce records (very broadly defined in the 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, that would be otherwise required under this Agreement then Developer covenants to comply with such request within two (2) Business Days of the date of such request. Failure by Developer to timely comply with such request will be a breach of this Agreement.
31
- Exempt Information. Documents that Developer submits to the City under Section 8.20, (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.
- Material Amendment To Lease/Lease Transfer. During the Term of the Agreement, Developer shall not: (a) execute or consent to a Material Amendment or (b) sell, sublease, re-lease, assign or otherwise transfer its interest in the Lease without the prior written consent of HED, which consent shall be in HED's sole discretion.
- Survival of Covenants. All warranties, representations, covenants and agreements of Developer contained in this Article Eight and elsewhere in this Agreement are true, accurate and complete at the time of Developer's execution of this Agreement, and will survive the execution, delivery and acceptance by the parties and (except as provided in Article Seven upon the issuance of a Certificate) will be in effect throughout the Term of the Agreement.
ARTICLE NINE: REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF CITY
- General Covenants. The City represents that it has the authority as a home rule unit of local government to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.
- Survival of Covenants. All warranties, representations, and covenants of the City contained in this Article Nine or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be true, accurate, and complete at the time of the City's execution of this Agreement, and shall survive the execution, delivery and acceptance hereof by the parties hereto and be in effect throughout the Term of the Agreement.
32
ARTICLE TEN: DEVELOPER'S EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS
10.01 Employment Opportunity. Developer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby agrees, and will contractually obligate its or their various contractors, subcontractors or any Affiliate of Developer on the Project (collectively, with Developer, such parties are defined herein as the "Employers", and individually defined herein as an "Employer") to agree, that for the Term of this Agreement with respect to Developer and during the period of any other party's provision of services in connection with the construction of the Project:
(a) No 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, Chapter 2-160, Section 2-160-010 et
seq Municipal Code, except as otherwise provided by said ordinance and as amended from
time-to-time (the "Human Rights Ordinance"). Each Employer shall take affirmative action to
ensure that applicants are hired and employed 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 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. 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.
- 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 Redevelopment 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 Redevelopment Area.
- Each Employer will comply with all applicable 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 State Human Rights Act, 775 ILCS 5/1-101 et seq. (2006 State Bar Edition), as amended, and any subsequent amendments and regulations promulgated thereto.
(d) Each Employer, in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this Section,
33
will 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 will include the foregoing provisions of subparagraphs (a) through (d) in every construction contract entered into in connection with the Project, after the Closing Date, and will require inclusion of these provisions in every subcontract entered into by any subcontractors, after the Closing Date, and every agreement with any Affiliate operating on the Property or at the Project, after the Closing Date, so that each such provision will be binding upon each contractor, subcontractor or Affiliate, as the case may be.
- Failure to comply with the employment obligations described in this Section 10.01 will be a basis for the City to pursue remedies under the provisions of Section 15.02 hereof, subject to the cure rights under Section 15.03.
10.02 City Resident Construction Worker Employment Requirement.
- Developer agrees for itself and its successors and assigns, and will contractually obligate its General Contractor and will cause the General Contractor to contractually obligate its subcontractors, as applicable, to agree, that during the construction of the Project they will 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 will be performed by actual residents of the City); provided, however, that in addition to complying with this percentage, Developer, its General Contractor and each subcontractor will be required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified residents of the City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions. Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor will use their respective best efforts to exceed the minimum percentage of hours stated above, and to employ neighborhood residents in connection with the Project.
- 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" means persons domiciled within the City. The domicile is an individual's one and only true, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment.
- Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor will provide for the maintenance of adequate employee residency records to show that actual Chicago residents are employed on the Project. Each Employer will maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every Chicago employee's actual record of residence.
34
- Weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) will be submitted to the Commissioner of HED in triplicate, which will 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.
- Upon 2 Business Days prior written notice, Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor will provide full access to their employment records related to the construction of the Project to the Chief Procurement Officer, the Commissioner of HED, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the Inspector General or any duly authorized representative of any of them. Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor will maintain all relevant personnel data and records related to the construction of the Project for a period of at least 3 years after final acceptance of the work constituting the Project.
- At the direction of HED, affidavits and other supporting documentation will be required of 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 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) will not suffice to replace the actual, verified achievement of the requirements of this Section concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
(i) When work at the Project is completed, in the event that the City has determined
that Developer has failed to ensure the fulfillment of the requirement of this Article concerning
the worker hours performed by actual residents of the City 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 Article. 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 will be evidenced by approved contract value for the actual
contracts) will be surrendered by 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 will 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 Developer, the General Contractor
and/or the subcontractors to prosecution. Any retainage to cover contract performance that may
become due to 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
Developer must surrender damages as provided in this paragraph.
(j) Nothing herein provided will be construed to be a limitation upon the "Notice of
35
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.
(k) Developer will cause or require the provisions of this Section 10.02 to be included in all construction contracts and subcontracts related to the Project, entered into after the Closing Date.
10.03 Developer's MBE/WBE Commitment. Developer agrees for itself and its successors and assigns, and, if necessary to meet the requirements stated in this section, will contractually obligate the General Contractor to agree that during the construction of the Project:
- Consistent with the findings which support, as applicable: (i) the Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program, Section 2-92-420 et seq., Municipal Code of Chicago (the "Procurement Program"), and (ii) the Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Construction Program, Section 2-92-650 et seq Municipal Code of Chicago (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 qualified by, the provisions of this Section 10.03, during the course of the Project, at least the following percentages of the MBE/WBE Budget (as stated in Exhibit D-2) must be expended for contract participation by Minority-Owned Businesses ("MBEs") and by Women-Owned Businesses ("WBEs"):
-
- At least 24 percent by MBEs.
- At least four percent by WBEs.
- For purposes of this Section 10.03 only:
- Developer (and any party to whom a contract is let by Developer in connection with the Project) is deemed a "contractor" and this Agreement (and any contract let by Developer in connection with the Project) is deemed a "contract" or a "construction contract" as such terms are defined in Sections 2-92-420 and 2-92-670, Municipal Code of Chicago, as applicable.
- 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.

ARTICLE SIXTEEN: MORTGAGING OF THE PROJECT
42
16.01 Mortgaging of the Project. Any and all mortgages or deeds of trust in place as of the date hereof with respect to the Project or any portion thereof are listed on Exhibit I hereto (including but not limited to mortgages made prior to or on the date hereof in connection with Lender Financing, if any) and are referred to herein as the "Existing Mortgages." Any mortgage or deed of trust that Developer may hereafter elect to execute and record or execute and permit to be recorded against the Project or any portion thereof without obtaining the prior written consent of the City is referred to herein as a "New Mortgage." Any mortgage or deed of trust that Developer may hereafter elect to execute and record or execute and permit to be recorded against the Project or any portion thereof with the prior written consent of the City is referred to herein as a "Permitted Mortgage." It is hereby agreed by and between the City and Developer as follows:
- If a mortgagee or any other party shall succeed to Developer's interest in the Project or any portion thereof by the exercise of remedies under a mortgage or deed of trust (other than an Existing Mortgage or a Permitted Mortgage) whether by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, and in conjunction therewith accepts an assignment of Developer's interest hereunder in accordance with Section 18.15 hereof, the City may, but will not be obligated to, attorn to and recognize such party as the successor in interest to Developer for all purposes under this Agreement and, unless so recognized by the City as the successor in interest, such party will be entitled to no rights or benefits under this Agreement, but such party will be bound by those provisions of this Agreement that are covenants expressly running with the land.
- If any mortgagee or any other party shall succeed to Developer's interest in the Project or any portion thereof by the exercise of remedies under an Existing Mortgage or a Permitted Mortgage, whether by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, and in conjunction therewith accepts an assignment of Developer's interest hereunder in accordance with Section 18.15 hereof, then the City hereby agrees to attorn to and recognize such party as the successor in interest to Developer for all purposes under this Agreement so long as such party accepts all of the executory obligations and liabilities of "Developer" hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that if such party accepts an assignment of Developer's interest under this Agreement, such party will have no liability under this Agreement for any Event of Default of Developer which occurred prior to the time such party succeeded to the interest of Developer under this Agreement, in which case Developer will be solely responsible. However, if such mortgagee under a Permitted Mortgage or an Existing Mortgage does not expressly accept an assignment of Developer's interest hereunder, such party will be entitled to no rights and benefits under this Agreement, and such party will be bound only by those provisions of this Agreement, if any, which are covenants expressly running with the land.
- Prior to the issuance by the City to Developer of a Certificate under Article Seven hereof, no New Mortgage will be executed with respect to the Project or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of the Commissioner of HED. A feature of such consent will be that any New Mortgage will subordinate its mortgage lien to the covenants in favor of the City
43
that run with the land. After the issuance of a Certificate, consent of the Commissioner of HED is not required for any such New Mortgage.

FORM OF OPINION OF DEVELOPER'S COUNSEL
[To be retyped on Developer's Counsel's letterhead]
, 2012
City of Chicago City Hall, Room 600 121 North LaSalle Street Chicago, IL 60602
ATTENTION: Corporation Counsel
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to DeVry Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Developer"), in connection with the construction of certain improvements on the property located at 227 W. Monroe Street located in the LaSalle Central 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":
- DeVry Inc. Redevelopment Agreement (the "Agreement") of even date herewith, executed by Developer and the City of Chicago (the "City"); and
- all other agreements, instruments and documents executed in connection with the foregoing.
25
In addition to the foregoing, we have examined
- the original or certified, conformed or photostatic copies of each of Developer's
(i) Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date, (ii) By-Laws, (iii) qualifications to do business and certificates of good standing in all states in which Developer is qualified to do business, 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 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:
- Developer is a corporation company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization, has full power and authority to own and lease its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted, and is in good standing and duly qualified to do business as a foreign organization under the laws of every state in which the conduct of its affairs or the ownership of its assets requires such qualification, except for those states in which its failure to qualify to do business would not have a material adverse effect on it or its business.
- 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, Developer's Certificate of Incorporation 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 Developer is a party or by which 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 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, other than in favor of any lender providing lender financing.
- 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 Developer.
26
- Each of the Documents to which Developer is a party has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of Developer, and each such Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of 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.
- Exhibit A attached hereto (a) identifies the equity of Developer and the number of equity interests held by each holder. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, except as set forth on Exhibit A, there are no warrants, options, rights or commitments of purchase, conversion, call or exchange or other rights or restrictions with respect to any of the equity of Developer. Each outstanding equity interest of Developer is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
- To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, no judgments are outstanding against Developer, nor is there now pending or threatened, any litigation, contested claim or governmental proceeding by or against Developer or affecting Developer or its property, or seeking to restrain or enjoin the performance by 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, 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 Developer or its business.
- To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, there is no default by Developer or any other party under any material contract, lease, agreement, instrument or commitment to which Developer is a party or by which the company or its properties is bound.
- To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, all of the assets of Developer 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 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.
- To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry. 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.
27
11. 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 State of Illinois and we express no opinion as to any laws other than federal laws of the United States of America or the laws of the State of Illinois.
This opinion is issued at 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.
Very truly yours,
