SECTION 2. PURCHASE PRICE.
The City hereby agrees to sell, and the Developer hereby agrees to purchase, upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Property, for the sum of Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) ("Purchase Price"), which will be paid by the Developer as follows: (a) the Developer shall pay Five Million Three Hundred Fifty Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,350,000) to the City at the Closing (as defined in Section 4) in cash or by certified or cashier's check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, (b) the Developer shall deposit Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) into a joint order escrow account in accordance with Section 9.13, (c) and including $150,000 of the Earnest Money (as defined in Section 3.1) previously paid by the Developer to the City.

The Developer acknowledges that the Purchase Price is approximately Two Million Five Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($2,530,000) less than the appraised fair market value of the Property and that the City has only agreed to sell the Property to the Developer for the Purchase Price because the Developer has agreed to execute this Agreement and comply with its terms and conditions, including, without limitation, Section 14 (Restrictions on Use) and the environmental remediation obligations set forth in Section 22 (Inspection; Environmental Remediation; Condition of Property at Closing).
In addition to the Purchase Price, the Developer must pay the City the Affordable Housing Fee (see recitals and Section 9.12(b).

The City agrees to provide the Title Company with a completed ALTA owner's statement, and other transfer documents typically required by the Title Company and typically provided by the City (but expressly excluding, however, "gap" undertakings, title indemnities and similar liabilities) at or prior to the Closing. At the Closing, the Developer shall deliver to the City a copy of the owner's policy of title insurance that it obtains with respect to the Property.

If the City is unable to obtain the waiver or release of any such tax liens or is unable to cause the Title Company to insure over such tax liens, or if the Property is encumbered with any other unpermitted exceptions, the Developer shall have the option to do one of the following: (a) accept title to the Property subject to the unpermitted exceptions, which shall then become Permitted Exceptions, without reduction in the Purchase Price (unless such tax liens or unpermitted exceptions are other liens of a definite and ascertainable that can be cleared from title by the payment of a sum certain, in which case the Developer shall receive a credit for such amounts against the Purchase Price and such amounts shall be paid from the funds deposited by Developer as part of the Closing); or (b) terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to the City at least fourteen (14) days prior to the Closing Date, in which event the City shall return the Earnest Money to the Developer, this Agreement shall be null and void and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither party shall have any further right, duty or obligation hereunder. If the Developer elects not to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the Developer agrees to accept title subject to the unpermitted exceptions. The Developer shall be responsible for all taxes due and payable after the Closing Date (whether attributable to the time period prior to the Closing Date but payable after the Closing Date, or first accruing and payable after the Closing Date).

The Developer shall apply for all applicable building permits and other required permits and approvals for the construction of the Project no later than eighteen (18) months after the Closing, and shall pursue such permits and approvals in good faith and
with all due diligence. The Commissioner of DHED may, in the Commissioner's sole discretion, elect to extend such eighteen (18) month period by up to six (6) months.

- The Developer has elected to pay the One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollar ($100,000) per unit in-lieu-of fee required under Chapter 2-45-110(d)(i) instead of providing affordable units in the Project. Such affordable housing fee payment shall be Four Million and No/100 Dollars ($4,000,000), based on the forty (40) affordable units that would otherwise need to be included in the Developer's 396 unit Project. IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE INITIAL BUILDING PERMITS FOR THE PROJECT, THE DEVELOPER SHALL PAY THE CITY THE FOUR MILILION AND NO/100 DOLLAR ($4,000,000) AFFORDABLE HOUSING FEE BY CASHIER'S CHECK OR ELECTRONIC FUNDS.

transportation and disposal), storage, remediation or treatment costs associated with any
material from the Property, including any material meeting regulatory criteria of
Hazardous Waste, and (ii) the Developer is solely responsible for all removal (including,
excavation, transportation and disposal), storage, remediation or treatment costs
associated with material meeting regulatory criteria of Hazardous Waste, even if those
costs exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). Any funds remaining in the
environmental escrow account following the Escrowee's payment from the escrow account of the Incremental Costs shall be paid to the City. The Developer shall pay all escrow fees.
"Hazardous Waste" means and includes (a) a characteristic waste, which exhibits one or more of four characteristics defined in 40 CFR Part 261 Subpart C, (b) any other material, substance or waste that must be removed or remediated in order for the Developer to obtain the Residential No Further Remediation Letter required for the Property, and (c) underground storage tanks and related petroleum contaminated soils limited only to material exceeding soil saturation limits or material meeting RCRA hazardous waste criteria. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in no event shall "Hazardous Waste" mean and include any material, substance or waste removed from the Property that, due to the historical depositing of debris, rubble, ash, and fill materials after the Chicago Fire in the South Loop and in other portions of the City, has led to historically-elevated background levels of elements such as arsenic and lead, and elevated background levels for PNAs and other substances in such areas. Similarly, no costs associated with disposing of materials, substances or wastes containing such elevated background levels shall be included as "Incremental Costs" (as defined below). The Department of Fleet and Facility Management, in consultation with GaiaTech, Inc., the Developer's environmental consultant, shall cooperate in reviewing removal and remediation measures and records to determine when and to what extent such elevated background levels are present in any applicable material, substance or waste for purposes of such "Hazardous Waste" and "Incremental Cost" determinations.
"Incremental costs" refers to the difference in costs, if any, between (i) the removal (including, excavation, transportation and disposal), storage, remediation and treatment costs for Hazardous Wastes that the Developer incurs and (ii) the costs for performing similar work had the Property not contained Hazardous Wastes. Such costs must be based on the Developer's actual costs, identified in a contract and verified by actual receipts, with no markup by the Developer for these costs. For example, if the cost for disposing of the Hazardous Waste on the Property was $10 and the cost of disposing of the same quantity of material from the Property had it not been Flazardous Waste was $8, then the incremental costs for the disposal of such material is $2. "Incremental Costs" specifically excludes any costs relating to investigation, sampling, monitoring and testing related to disposal of potential or actual "Hazardous Waste," excluding only the invoice attached as Exhibit G and future testing related to environmental remediation approved by city, state or federal environmental agencies. The Developer shall have no obligation to perform any removal, storage, remediation or treatment prior to the Closing Date.
9.14 Easement. On the Closing Date, the Developer shall have in recordable form a plat of easement and a grant of easement that grants the Chicago Transit Authority (the "CTA") the non-exclusive right to maintain such CTA-owned underground support columns and aerial signal platform that are beneath or above the Property at certain horizontal planes, respectively, and the Developer shall at its expense record same immediately following the recording of this Agreement and the Deed.
9.15 Other Obligations. On the Closing Date, the Developer shall have performed all of the other obligations required to be performed by the Developer under this Agreement as of such date as and when required under this Agreement. If any of the conditions in this Section 9 have not been satisfied to the City's reasonable satisfaction within the time periods provided for herein, or waived by DHED in writing, the City may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to the Developer. In such event, the City shall retain One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) of the Earnest Money and shall promptly return the remaining amount of the Earnest Money (i.e., $150,000) to the Developer, this Agreement shall be null and void and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither party shall have any further right, duty or obligation hereunder. Any forbearance by the City in exercising its right to terminate this Agreement upon a default hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of such right.
SECTION 10. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS.
- Site Plans and Rental Space. The Developer shall construct the Project on the Property substantially in accordance with the preliminary design development drawings and specifications prepared by Solomon Cordwell Buenz dated December 20, 2012, which have been approved by DHED and which are attached hereto as Exhibit C ("Working Drawings and Specifications"). No material deviation from the Working Drawings and Specifications may be made without the prior written approval of DHED. If the Developer submits and DHED approves revised design development drawings and specifications (including but not limited to permit drawings approved by the City) after the date of this Agreement, the term "Working Drawings and Specifications" as used herein shall refer to the revised design development drawings and specifications upon DHED's written approval of the same. DHED shall have the right to approve the initial retail tenants, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the permitted retail uses listed on Exhibit F attached hereto (if permitted under the Planned Development zoning approved for the Property) and any uses permitted under the Planned Development zoning approved for the Property shall be deemed acceptable retail uses by DHED.
- Relocation of Utilities, Curb Cuts and Driveways. The Developer shall be solely responsible for and shall pay all costs associated with: (a) the relocation, installation or construction of public or private utilities, curb cuts and driveways; (b) the repair or reconstruction of any curbs, vaults, sidewalks or parkways required in connection with or damaged as a result of the Developer's construction of the Project; (c) the removal of existing pipes, utility equipment or building foundations; (d) the termination of existing water or other services; and (e) the removal or discontinuance of use of metered parking spaces (whether permanent, such as, for example, due to the installation of a curb cut or driveway that eliminates metered parking spaces, or temporary, such as, for example, due to the need to close a lane of a street for construction staging or public safety purposes) along the interior perimeter of the block
bordered on the north side of East 9th Street, on the east side by South Holden Court, on the south side of East 10th Street, and on west side by South State Street reasonably attributable to the Project. As to amounts in subsection (e), the Developer acknowledges that under the Metered Parking Concessions Agreement entered into between the City and Chicago Parking Meters, L.L.C. (the "Concessionaire") dated effective as of February 13, 2009, when parking spaces subject to the terms of such agreement are removed or the ability to use such parking spaces is discontinued, the City is generally obligated to either pay the Concessionaire for lost revenues attributable to such spaces or provide the Concessionaire with replacement metered parking spaces, all as more particularly described in such concession agreement. The City may, but shall have no obligation to, identify replacement spaces in order to mitigate any such payments due to the Concessionaire in connection with the Project, and the Developer shall, in any event, pay any required amounts due to the Concessionaire that are attributable to the removal or discontinuance of use (whether permanent or temporary) of metered parking spaces as a result of the Project. Such amounts shall be paid from time to time within five (5) business days' of the City's written notice of the amount due. The City shall have the right to approve any streetscaping provided by the Developer as part of the Project, including, without limitation, any paving of sidewalks, landscaping and lighting.
- City's Right to Inspect Property. For the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing through the date the City issues the Certificate of Completion, any duly authorized representative of the City shall have access to the Property at all reasonable times for the purpose of determining whether the Developer is constructing the Project in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and all applicable federal, state and local statutes, laws, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, orders and judgments, including, without limitation, Sections 7-28 and 11-4 of the Municipal Code of Chicago relating to waste disposal (collectively, "Laws").
- Barricades and Signs. Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, the Developer shall, at its sole cost and expense, erect and maintain such signs as the City may reasonably require identifying the Property as a City redevelopment project. Prior to the commencement of any construction activity requiring barricades, the Developer shall install barricades of a type and appearance satisfactory to the City and constructed in compliance with all applicable Laws. DHED shall have the right to approve the maintenance, appearance, color scheme, painting, nature, type, content and design of all barricades and all signage, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Developer shall erect all signs and barricades so as not to interfere with or affect any bus stop or train station in the vicinity of the Property.
- Survival. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the Closing.
SECTION 11. LIMITED APPLICABILITY.
Any approval given by DHED pursuant to this Agreement is for the purpose of this Agreement only and does not constitute the approval required by the City's Department of Buildings or any other City department, nor does such DHED approval
constitute an approval of the quality, structural soundness or safety of any improvements located or to be located on the Property, or the compliance of said improvements with any Laws, private covenants, restrictions of record, or any agreement affecting the Property or any part thereof.
SECTION 12. COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION OF PROJECT.
The Developer shall commence construction of the Project no later than eighteen (18) months following the issuance of building permits, and shall complete the Project (as determined by DHED) no later than thirty-six (36) months following the date on which the Developer commences construction. The Commissioner shall have discretion to extend any of the construction commencement and completion dates for good cause shown by issuing a written extension letter. The Developer shall give written notice to the City within five (5) days after it commences construction of the Project. The Developer shall construct the Project in accordance with the Working Drawings and Specifications, the Planned Development, and all Laws and covenants and restrictions of record.
SECTION 13. CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION.
Upon the completion of the Project in accordance with this Agreement, the Developer shall request from the City a certificate of completion ("Certificate of CjHmDleJion'')- Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a written request by the Developer for a Certificate of Completion, which written request shall include a copy of the recorded Residential No Further Remediation Letter, the City shall provide the Developer with either the Certificate of Completion or a written statement indicating in adequate detail how the Developer has failed to complete the Project in compliance with this Agreement, or is otherwise in default, and what measures or acts are necessary, in the sole opinion of the City, for the Developer to take or perform in order to obtain the Certificate of Completion. If the City requires additional measures or acts to assure compliance, the Developer shall resubmit a written request for the Certificate of Completion upon compliance with the City's response. The Certificate of Completion shall be in recordable form, and shall, upon recording, constitute a conclusive determination of satisfaction and termination of the covenants in this Agreement and the Deed with respect to the Developer's obligations to construct the Project. The Certificate of Completion shall not, however, constitute evidence that the Developer has complied with any Laws relating to the construction of the Project, and shall not serve as any "guaranty" as to the quality of the construction. Promptly following the recordation of the Certificate of Completion, the City shall return the Performance Deposit to the Developer.
SECTION 14. RESTRICTIONS ON USE.
The Developer agrees that it:
14.1 Shall devote the Property solely to the Project.
14.2 Shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, gender identity, age,
religion, disability, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, parental
status, military discharge status, or source of income in the use or occupancy of the

provided herein, the Developer may not, without the prior written consent of DHED,
which consent shall be in DHED's sole discretion: (a) directly or indirectly sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein or the
Developer's controlling interests therein (including without limitation, a transfer by
assignment of any beneficial interest under a land trust); or (b) directly or indirectly
assign this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developer may, with the prior
written consent of DHED, which consent shall not unreasonably withheld, admit Alcion
Ventures, or its affiliate, or another equity investor, as a member, so long as Lee Golub
and/or Michael Newman, or any entity controlled by Lee Golub and/or Michael Newman,
continue to serve as the controlling manager or managing member of the Developer and
any such equity investor provides all required Economic Disclosure Forms and "scofflaw
check" information to the City and financial statement evidencing its ability to make such
equity investment. With respect to any proposed sale, transfer or disposition prior to the
issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the Developer shall provide the City copies of
any and all sales contracts, legal descriptions, descriptions of intended use of the parcels
to be sold, proposed use of Property and other documentation as the City may reasonably
require. The Developer acknowledges and agrees that DHED may withhold its consent
under (a) or (b) above (and as to the admission of any equity investor) if, among other
reasons, the proposed purchaser, transferee or assignee (or such entity's principal officers
or directors) is in violation of any Laws, or if the Developer fails to submit sufficient
evidence of the financial responsibility, business background and reputation of the
proposed purchaser, transferee or assignee. Except as permitted above, no principal party
of the Developer (e.g., a manager, member, or managing-member) may sell, transfer or
assign any of its interest in Developer prior to the issuance of the Certificate of
Completion to anyone other than another principal party (or to the personal trust of such
transferor, for estate planning purposes), without the prior written consent of DHED,
which consent shall be in DHED's sole discretion. The Developer must disclose the
identity of all members to the City at the time such members obtain an interest in the
Developer. The provisions of this Section 15 shall not prohibit the Developer from
transferring or conveying the Property to an Illinois land trust of which the Developer is
the sole beneficiary.

without the City's prior written consent, which shall be in the City's sole discretion: (i)
merge, liquidate or consolidate, (ii) permit the direct or indirect transfer any ownership interests in the Developer except as permitted under Section 15.1, (iii) enter into any transaction outside the ordinary course of business, (iv) assume or guarantee the obligations of any other person or entity, or (v) enter into a transaction that, in the City's sole determination, would cause a material and detrimental change to the Developer's condition.
SECTION 16. LIMITATION UPON ENCUMBRANCE OF PROPERTY.
Prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the Developer shall not, without DHED's prior written consent, which shall be in DHED's sole discretion, engage in any financing or other transaction which would create an encumbrance or lien on the Property, except for (a) any mortgages and related financing documents approved pursuant to Section 9.2 related to the Land Purchase Financing, (b) mortgages and related financing documents, the proceeds of which are used to finance the Developer's construction of the Project, and (c) any encumbrance arising from the recording of the Residential No Further Remediation Letter.
SECTION 17. MORTGAGEES NOT OBLIGATED TO CONSTRUCT.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or of the Deed, the holder of any mortgage authorized by this Agreement (or any affiliate of such holder) shall not itself be obligated to construct or complete the Project, or to guarantee such construction or completion, but shall be bound by the other covenants running with the land specified in Section 18 and shall, prior to recording any mortgage approved pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 16, execute and record a Subordination Agreement (as defined in Section 9.7). If any such mortgagee or its affiliate succeeds to the Developer's interest in the Property prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion, whether by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and thereafter transfers its interest in the Property to another party, such transferee shall be obligated to complete the Project, and shall also be bound by the other covenants running with the land specified in Section 18.
SECTION 18. COVENANTS RUNNING WITH THE LAND.
The parties agree, and the Deed shall so expressly provide, that the covenants provided in Section 12 (Commencement and Completion of Project), Section 14 (Restrictions on Use), Section 15 (Prohibition Against Sale or Transfer of Property), Section 16 (Limitation Upon Encumbrance of Property) and Section 22.3 (Environmental Remediation) will be covenants running with the land, binding on the Developer and its successors and assigns (subject to the limitation set forth in Section 17 above as to any permitted mortgagee) to the fullest extent permitted by law and equity for the benefit and in favor of the City, and shall be enforceable by the City. The covenants provided in Section 12, Section 15 and Section 16 shall terminate upon the issuance of the Certificate of Completion. The covenants contained in Section 14.1 shall remain in effect for so long as the Developer remains in title to the Property; provided, however, such covenants shall not terminate prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion. The covenants
contained in Section 14.2 shall remain in effect without limitation as to time. The covenant contained in Section 14.3 shall terminate upon the expiration of the Redevelopment Plan, as such expiration may be amended from time to time in accordance with and pursuant to applicable law. The covenant in Section 22.3 shall terminate in accordance with the terms of the Residential No Further Remediation Letter.
SECTION 19. PERFORMANCE AND BREACH.
- Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the Developer's performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
- Permitted Delays. The Developer shall not be considered in breach of its obligations under this Agreement in the event of a delay due to unforeseeable causes beyond the Developer's control and without the Developer's fault or negligence, including, without limitation, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of the United States government, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, embargoes and unusually severe weather or delays of subcontractors due to such causes. The time for the performance of the obligations shall be extended only for the period of the delay and only if the Developer, within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Developer learns of such force majeure event, submits to the Commissioner a written request for an extension.

If the Developer defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Developer shall have sixty (60) days after written notice of default from the City to cure the default, or such longer period as shall be reasonably necessary to cure such default provided the Developer promptly commences such cure and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion (so long as continuation of the default does not create material risk to the Project or to persons using the Project). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice or cure period shall apply to defaults under Sections 19.4 (c), (e) and (g).
- Event of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement:

- A petition is filed by or against the Developer under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar state or federal law, whether now or hereafter existing, which is not vacated, stayed or set aside within thirty (30) days after filing.
- The Developer fails to complete the Project in accordance with the time line outlined in Section 12 above, or the Developer abandons or substantially suspends construction of the Project.
- The Developer fails to timely pay real estate taxes or assessments affecting the Property or any part thereof and payable after the Closing Date when due, or places thereon any encumbrance or lien unauthorized by this Agreement, or suffers or permits any levy or attachment, mechanic's, laborer's, material supplier's, or any other lien or encumbrance unauthorized by this Agreement to attach to the Property unless bonded or insured over.

- After Closing. If an Event of Default occurs after the Closing but prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Completion, and the default is not cured in the time period provided for in Section 19.3 above, the City may terminate this Agreement, retain the Performance Deposit and the Affordable Housing Fee, and exercise any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity; provided, however, that the City's right to re-enter and take possession of the Property, terminate the estate conveyed to the Developer, and revest title to the Property in the City pursuant to the Reconveyance Deed (the "Right of Reverter") shall permanently terminate upon payment of the Affordable Housing Fee, and provided further that at no time shall the City's Right of Reverter defeat, render invalid, or limit in any way, the lien of any mortgage authorized by this Agreement. If the Reconveyance Deed is recorded by the City prior to such payment date, the Developer shall be responsible for all real estate taxes and assessments which accrued during the period the Property was owned by the Developer, and shall cause the release
of all liens or encumbrances placed on the Property during the period of time the Property was owned by the Developer (other than any mortgage authorized by this Agreement).
- Resale of the Property. Upon the revesting in the City of title to the Property as provided in Section 19.6, the City may complete the Project or convey the Property, subject to any mortgage lien authorized under this Agreement, to a qualified and financially responsible party reasonably acceptable to such mortgagee(s), who shall assume the obligation of completing the Project or such other improvements as shall be satisfactory to DHED, and otherwise comply with the covenants that run with the land as specified in Section 18.
- Disposition of Resale Proceeds. If the City sells the Property as provided for in Section 19.7, the net proceeds from the sale, after payment of all amounts owed under any mortgage liens authorized by this Agreement in order of lien priority, shall be utilized to reimburse the City for:
- costs and expenses incurred by the City (including, without limitation, salaries of personnel) in connection with the recapture, management and resale of the Property (less any income derived by the City from the Property in connection with such management); and
- all unpaid taxes, assessments, and water and sewer charges assessed against the Property; and
- any payments made (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) to discharge or prevent from attaching or being made any subsequent encumbrances or liens due to obligations, defaults or acts of the Developer; and

The Developer represents and warrants that no agent, official or employee of the City shall have any personal interest, direct or indirect, in the Developer, this Agreement,
the Property or the Project, nor shall any such agent, official or employee participate in any decision relating to this Agreement which affects his or her personal interests or the interests of any corporation, partnership, association or other entity in which he or she is directly or indirectly interested. No agent, official or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Developer or any successor in interest in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Developer or successor or with respect to any commitment or obligation of the City under the terms of this Agreement.

- The Developer and the Employers shall submit weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) to 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 Developer or Employer hired the employee should be written in after the employee's name.
- The Developer and the Employers shall provide full access to their employment records to the chief procurement officer, DHED, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the inspector general, or any duly authorized representative thereof. The Developer and the Employers shall maintain all relevant personnel data and records for a period of at least three (3) years after the issuance of the Certificate of Completion.
- At the direction of DHED, the Developer and the Employers shall provide affidavits and other supporting documentation to verify or clarify an employee's actual address when doubt or lack of clarity has arisen.
- Good faith efforts on the part of the Developer and the Employers to provide work for actual Chicago residents (but not sufficient for the granting of a waiver request as provided for in the standards and procedures developed by the chief procurement officer) shall not suffice to replace the actual, verified achievement of the requirements of this Section 23.2 concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
(i) If the City determines that the Developer or an Employer failed to
ensure the fulfillment of the requirements of this Section 23.2 concerning the
worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents or failed to report in the
manner as indicated above, the City will thereby be damaged in the failure to
provide the benefit of demonstrable employment to Chicagoans to the degree
stipulated in this Section 23.2. If such non-compliance is not remedied in
accordance with the breach and cure provisions of Section 19.3, the parties agree
that 1/20 of 1 percent (.05%) of the aggregate hard construction costs set forth in
the MBE/WBE Budget (as defined in Section 23.3 below) shall be surrendered by
the Developer and for the Employers to the City in payment for each percentage
of shortfall toward the stipulated residency requirement. Failure to report the
residency of employees entirely and correctly shall result in the surrender of the
entire liquidated damages as if no Chicago residents were employed in either of
the categories. The willful falsification of statements and the certification of
payroll data may subject the Developer and/or the other Employers or employees
to prosecution.
(j) Nothing herein provided shall be construed to be a limitation upon the "Notice of Requirements for Affirmative Action to Ensure Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246" and "Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246," or other affirmative action required for equal opportunity under the provisions of this Agreement.
(k) The Developer shall cause or require the provisions of this Section
23.2 to be included in all construction contracts and subcontracts related to the
construction of the Project.
23.3 Developer's MBE/WBE Commitment. With respect to the Project, 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 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 23.3, during the course of construction of the Project, at least at least the following percentages of the "MBE/WBE Budget" (as hereinafter defined) shall 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.
The "MBE/WBE Budget", as set forth on Exhibit H-2 and attached hereto, shall be a subset of the Updated Budget (as the same may have been further updated after the Closing Date for purposes of arriving at a final Project budget) and shall be comprised of a portion of those hard construction costs set forth in the Developer's guaranteed maximum price agreement with its general contractor. The City and the Developer agree to cooperate in negotiating the scope of the MBE/WBE Budget after the Closing Date, and prior to the commencement of construction, and to record an amendment to this Agreement attaching and incorporating such final MBE/WBE Budget as a part of this Agreement.
(a) For purposes of this Section 23.3 only:
(i) 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" 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.
- The term "women-owned business" or "WBE" shall mean a business identified in the Directory of Certified Women Business Enterprises published by the City's Department of Procurement Services, or otherwise certified by the City's Department of Procurement Services as a women-owned business enterprise, related to the Procurement Program or the Construction Program, as applicable.
- Consistent with Sections 2-92-440 and 2-92-720, 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 the 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 construction of the Project to one or more MBEs or WBEs; by the purchase of materials or services used in the construction of 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 Section 23.3. In accordance with Section 2-92-730, Municipal Code of Chicago, the Developer shall not substitute any MBE or WBE general contractor or subcontractor without the prior written approval of DHED.
- The Developer shall deliver quarterly reports to the City's monitoring staff during the construction of the Project describing its efforts to achieve compliance with this MBE/WBE commitment. Such reports 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 construction of 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
the City's monitoring staff in determining the Developer's compliance with this MBE/WBE commitment. The Developer shall maintain records of all relevant data with respect to the utilization of MBEs and WBEs in connection with the construction of the Project for at least five (5) years after completion of the Project, and the City's monitoring staff shall have access to all such records maintained by the Developer, on prior notice of at least five (5) business days, 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 construction of the Project.
- Upon the disqualification of any MBE or WBE general contractor or subcontractor, if the disqualified party misrepresented such status, the Developer shall be obligated to discharge or cause to be discharged the disqualified general contractor or subcontractor, and, if possible, identify and engage a qualified MBE or WBE as a replacement. For purposes of this subsection (e), the disqualification procedures are further described in Sections 2-92-540 and 2-92-730, Municipal Code of Chicago, as applicable.
- Any reduction or waiver of the Developer's MBE/WBE commitment as described in this Section 23.3 shall be undertaken in accordance with Sections 2-92-450 and 2-92-730, Municipal Code of Chicago, as applicable.
The MBE/WBE requirements shall terminate upon the date of the issuance of a Certificate of Completion.
23.4 Pre-Construction Conference and Post-Closing Compliance Requirements. Not less than fourteen (14) days before the anticipated issuance of the initial building permits (and in any event prior to the commencement of any construction), the Developer and the Developer's general contractor and all major subcontractors shall meet with DHED monitoring staff regarding compliance with all Section 23 requirements. During this pre-construction meeting, the Developer shall present its plan to achieve its obligations under this Section 23, the sufficiency of which the City's monitoring staff shall approve as a precondition to the commencement of construction. Prior to commencement of construction, the Development must submit evidence acceptable to DHED that the general contractor has met at least once with, and provided bid documents to, applicable MBE/WBE contractor associations. Additionally, the Developer must submit to DHED its construction contracts for review, and its MBE/WBE Utilization Plan, including Schedules C and D, for approval. Additionally, the Developer will need to provide evidence to DHED of its compliance with the MBE/WBE goals when 25% of the total direct costs of construction have been incurred (which evidence may be a regularly submitted contractor's activity report). During the construction of the Project, the Developer shall submit all documentation required by this Section 23 to the City's monitoring staff, including, without limitation, the following: (a) contractor's activity reports; (b) contractor's certifications concerning labor standards and prevailing wage requirements; (c) contractor's letter of understanding; (d) monthly utilization report; (e) authorization for payroll agent; (f) certified payroll; and (g) evidence that MBE/WBE
contractor associations have been informed of the Project via written notice and hearing(s). Failure to submit such documentation on a timely basis, or a determination by the City's monitoring staff, upon analysis of the documentation, that the Developer is not complying with its obligations under this Section 23, shall, upon the delivery of written notice to the Developer, be deemed an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies provided in this Agreement, the City may: (x) issue a written demand to the Developer to halt construction of the Project, (y) withhold any further payment of any City funds (including funds in the Joint Order Escrow Account) to the Developer or the general contractor, or (z) seek any other remedies against the Developer available at law or in equity.

SECTION 30. SHAKMAN
(i) The City is subject to the May 31, 2007 Order entitled "Agreed Settlement Order and Accord" (the "Shakman Accord") and the August 16, 2007 "City of Chicago Hiring Plan" ( the "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.
(ii) 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.
(iii) Developer will not condition, base, or knowingly prejudice or affect any term or aspect to 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.
(iii) In the event of any communication to Developer by a City employee or City official in violation of subparagraph(ii) above, or advocating a violation of subparagraph (iii) above, Developer will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, report such communication to the Hiring Oversight Section of the City's Office ofthe Inspector General ("IGO Hiring Oversight"), and also to the head of the relevant City Department utilizing services provided under this Agreement. Developer will also cooperate with any inquiries by IGO Hiring Oversight or the Shakman Monitor's Office related to the contract.
SECTION 31. COMPLIANCE WITH "WASTE" PROVISIONS.
Any duly authorized representative of the City shall have access to the Property and to the real property on which the Project work is performed at all reasonable times for the purpose of determining whether the Developer is constructing the Project in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and all applicable federal, state and local statutes, laws, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, orders and judgments, including, without limitation, Sections 7-28 and 11-4 of the Municipal Code of Chicago relating to waste disposal (collectively, the "Waste Sections"). Developer's violation of the Waste Sections (including, but not limited to, Sections 7-28-390 Dumping on public way; 7-28-440 Dumping on real estate without permit; 11-4-1410 Disposal in waters prohibited; 11-4-1420 Ballast tank, bilge tank or other discharge; 11-4-1450 Gas manufacturing residue; 11-4-1500 Treatment and disposal of solid or liquid waste; 11-4-1530 Compliance with rules and regulations required; 11-4-1550 Operational requirements; and 11-4-1560 Screening requirements), whether or not relating to the performance of this Agreement,
constitutes a default under this Agreement (subject to the cure provisions of Section 19.3) and entitles the City to all remedies under the Agreement, at law or in equity. This section does not limit Developer, general contractor's and its subcontractors' duty to comply with all applicable federal, state, county and municipal laws, statutes, ordinances and executive orders, in effect now or later, and whether or not they appear in this Agreement.
SECTION 32. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN ELIGIBILITY TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE CITY.
Failure by Developer or any controlling person (as defined in Section 1-23-010 of the Municipal Code of Chicago) thereof to maintain eligibility to do business with the City of Chicago as required by Section 1-23-030 of the Municipal Code of Chicago shall be grounds for termination of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Developer shall at all times comply with Section 2-154-020 of the Municipal Code of Chicago.
SECTION 33. INSPECTOR GENERAL AND LEGISLATIVE INSPECTOR GENERAL.
It is the duty of every officer, employee, department, agency, contractor, subcontractor, Developer and licensee of the City, and every applicant for certification of eligibility for a City contract or program, to cooperate with the City's Legislative Inspector General and with the City's Inspector General in any investigation or hearing undertaken pursuant to Chapters 2-55 and 2-56, respectively, of the Municipal Code of Chicago. The Developer understands and will abide by all provisions of Chapters 2-55 and 2-56 of the Municipal Code of Chicago.

At the Closing, One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) of the Earnest Money will be applied to the Purchase Price, and the City will retain the remaining One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) of the Earnest Money as security for the performance of the Developer's obligations under this Agreement (such retained amount, the "Performance Deposit"). The City will retain the Performance Deposit until the City issues a Certificate of Completion (as defined in Section 13).
- Interest. The City will pay no interest to the Developer on the Earnest Money or Performance Deposit.
SECTION 4. CLOSING. The closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place at the downtown offices of Greater Illinois Title Company, 120 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60602, or such other title company as may be selected by the Developer (the "Title Company"), within thirty (30) days after the later of the effective date of the City Council ordinance approving this Agreement or the planned development zoning for the Project (the "PD Approval Date"), as required pursuant to Section 9.1, or on such date as the parties mutually agree upon in writing (the "Closing Date" or "Original Outside Closing Date"); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Closing occur unless and until the Developer has satisfied all conditions precedent set forth in Section 9, unless DHED, in its sole discretion, waives one or more such conditions; provided further that DHED may, in its sole discretion, extend the Original Outside Closing Date for up to twelve (12) months (such extended date, the "Extended Outside Closing Date"). On or before the Closing Date, the City shall deliver to the Title Company the Deed, all necessary state, county and municipal real estate transfer tax declarations, and an ALTA statement. If the Closing does not occur on or before the Original Outside Closing Date, and the City elects to extend the closing date, then, beginning on the first day of the month immediately following the Original Outside Closing Date (e.g., January 1, 2013) and on the first day of each month thereafter during any such extension period, the Developer shall pay the City a nonrefundable monthly extension fee in the amount of Thirty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($30,000). During the period of Developer's payment of such monthly extension fee, the Closing and time for performance of obligations under this Agreement shall be ratably extended without creating a default of penalty. Such extension fee shall not be due if in the sole reasonable opinion of the Commissioner of DHED (the "Commissioner") the Developer was not at any fault for not closing by the Original Outside Closing Date. SECTION 5. CONVEYANCE OF TITLE.
- Form of Deed. Without limiting the generality of the quitclaim nature of the deed, the City shall convey the Property to the Developer by quitclaim deed ("Deed"), subject to the terms of this Agreement and the following (collectively, the "Permitted Exceptions"):
(a) the Redevelopment Plan for the Redevelopment Area;
-
- the standard exceptions in an ALTA title insurance policy;
- general real estate taxes and any special assessments or other taxes, subject to Section 6.2;
- all easements, encroachments, covenants and restrictions of record and not shown of record;
- such other title defects that may exist; and
- any and all exceptions caused by the acts of the Developer or its
agents.
- Recording Costs. The Developer shall pay to record the Deed, this Agreement, and any other documents incident to the conveyance of the Property to the Developer.
SECTION 6. TITLE AND SURVEY.
- The Developer acknowledges that the City has delivered to the Developer a commitment for an owner's policy of title insurance for the Property (the "Title Commitment") from the Title Company. The Developer shall be solely responsible for and shall pay all costs associated with updating the Title Commitment (including all search, continuation and later-date fees), and obtaining any title insurance, extended coverage or other endorsements it deems necessary. The Developer shall also be solely responsible for and shall pay all costs associated with obtaining any survey it deems necessary. The City agrees to provide the Title Company with a completed ALTA owner's statement, and other transfer documents typically required by the Title Company and typically provided by the City (but expressly excluding, however, "gap" undertakings, title indemnities and similar liabilities) at or prior to the Closing. At the Closing, the Developer shall deliver to the City a copy of the owner's policy of title insurance that it obtains with respect to the Property.
- The City shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the waiver or release of any delinquent real estate taxes or tax liens on the Property prior to the Closing Date, to the extent such taxes or tax liens can be waived or released through submission of an abatement letter to the Cook County Treasurer, a motion to vacate a tax sale or a petition for exemption. If the City is unable to obtain the waiver or release of any such tax liens or is unable to cause the Title Company to insure over such tax liens, or if the Property is encumbered with any other unpermitted exceptions, the Developer shall have the option to do one of the following: (a) accept title to the Property subject to the unpermitted exceptions, which shall then become Permitted Exceptions, without reduction in the Purchase Price (unless such tax liens or unpermitted exceptions are other liens of a definite and ascertainable that can be cleared from title by the payment of a sum certain, in which case the Developer shall receive a credit for such amounts against the Purchase Price and such amounts shall be paid from the funds deposited by Developer as part of the Closing); or (b) terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to the City at least fourteen (14) days prior to the Closing Date, in which event the City shall return the Earnest Money to the Developer, this Agreement shall be null and void and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither party shall have any further right, duty or obligation hereunder. If the Developer elects not to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the Developer agrees to accept title subject to the unpermitted exceptions. The Developer shall be responsible for all taxes due and payable after the Closing Date (whether attributable to the time period prior to the Closing Date but payable after the Closing Date, or first accruing and payable after the Closing Date).
SECTION 7. BUILDING PERMITS AND OTHER GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. The Developer shall apply for all applicable building permits and other required permits and approvals for the construction of the Project no later than eighteen (18) months after the Closing, and shall pursue such permits and approvals in good faith and with all due diligence. The Commissioner of DHED may, in the Commissioner's sole discretion, elect to extend such eighteen (18) month period by up to six (6) months. SECTION 8. PROJECT BUDGET AND PROOF OF FINANCING. The total budget for the Project is currently estimated to be One Hundred Twenty-Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($122,000,000) (the "Preliminary Project Budget"). Not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the Closing Date, the Developer shall submit to DHED for approval an updated Project budget which is materially consistent with the Preliminary Project Budget, as set forth on Exhibit H-l and attached hereto (the "Updated Budget") and evidence of funds adequate to finance the purchase of the Property ("Proof of Land Purchase Financing"). The Proof of Land Purchase Financing shall include binding commitment letters from the Developer's lenders, if any, and evidence of the Developer's ability to make an equity contribution in the amount necessary to purchase the Property. SECTION 9. CONDITIONS TO THE CITY'S OBLIGATION TO CLOSE. The obligations of the City under this Agreement are contingent upon each of the following being satisfied at least fourteen (14) days prior to the Closing Date, or on such other date as may be specified below, unless waived in writing by the Commissioner:
- Planned Development Approval. The Developer shall have applied for, and the City shall have approved, Planned Development zoning for the Property.
- Budget and Proof of Financing. The City shall have approved the Developer's Updated Budget and Proof of Land Purchase Financing.
- Simultaneous Closing of Financing. On the Closing Date, the Developer shall simultaneously close and draw down on the land purchase financing.
- Insurance. The Developer shall have delivered to the City evidence of insurance as follows: (a) commercial general liability insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability with the City named as an additional insured; (b) automobile liability insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence, combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage; (c) worker's compensation and occupational disease insurance in statutory amounts covering all employees and agents who are to do any work on the Property; and (d) builder's risk or property insurance. All insurance policies shall be from insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Illinois, and shall remain in effect until completion of all activity on the Property. The Developer shall deliver duplicate policies or certificates of insurance to the City prior to commencing any activity on the Property. The Developer expressly understands and agrees that any coverage and limits furnished by the Developer shall in no way limit the Developer's liabilities and responsibilities (including indemnification) set forth in this Agreement. With respect to property insurance, the City will accept an
ACORD 28 form. With respect to liability insurance, the City will accept an ACORD 25 form, together with a copy of the endorsement that is added to the Developer's policy showing the City as an additional insured. Upon request, the Developer shall provide a copy of the declaration page for each policy listed on the ACORD 25 and ACORD 28 forms.
- Legal Opinion. The Developer shall, at the City's request, deliver to the City a legal opinion in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the City's Corporation Counsel.
- Due Diligence. The Developer shall have delivered to the City due diligence searches in its name (UCC, State and federal tax liens, pending litigation and judgments in Cook County and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and bankruptcy), showing no unacceptable liens, litigation, judgments or filings, as reasonably determined by the City's Corporation Counsel.
- Subordination Agreement. On the Closing Date, and prior to recording any land purchase or construction mortgage approved pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 16, the Developer shall, at the City's request, deliver to the City a subordination agreement in which the lender agrees to subordinate the lien of its mortgage to the covenants running with the land, or such other subordination assurance as the Corporation Counsel shall deem acceptable (each such agreement, a "Subordination Agreement").
- MBE/WBE Compliance Plan. In lieu of meeting prior to the Closing Date, and because the initial closing involves only a land purchase, the Developer and, if selected, the Developer's general contractor and all major subcontractors shall meet with staff from DHED regarding compliance with the MBE/WBE, city residency hiring, prevailing wage and other requirements set forth in Section 23, and at least seven (7) days prior to the closing date for the closing of the construction financing for the Project improvements. The City shall approve the Developer's compliance plan in accordance with Section 23.4.
- Representations and Warranties. On the Closing Date, each of the representations and warranties of the Developer in this Agreement shall be true and correct.
- Organization and Authority Documents. The Developer shall have delivered to the City the Developer's articles of organization, including all amendments thereto, as furnished and certified by the Illinois Secretary of State; the Developer's operating agreement, as certified by the secretary of the Developer; resolutions authorizing the Developer to execute and deliver this Agreement and any other documents required to complete the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Agreement; a certificate of good standing from the Illinois Secretary of State dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date;
and such other corporate authority and organizational documents as the City may reasonably request.
- Reconveyance Deed. Prior to the conveyance of the Property to the Developer, the Developer shall deliver to the City a special warranty deed for the Property in recordable form naming the City as grantee ("Reconveyance Deed"), for possible recording in accordance with Section 19.6 below, if applicable. At the time of the Developer pays the affordable housing fee described in Section 9.12(b) below, the City shall return such Reconveyance Deed to the Developer.
- Affordability Requirements.
- The Developer shall have completed the Affordable Housing Agreement (Rental) attached hereto as Exhibit D, and obtained DHED's authorization to proceed on such form; and
- The Developer has elected to pay the One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollar ($100,000) per unit in-lieu-of fee required under Chapter 2-45-110(d)(i) instead of providing affordable units in the Project. Such affordable housing fee payment shall be Four Million and No/100 Dollars ($4,000,000), based on the forty (40) affordable units that would otherwise need to be included in the Developer's 396 unit Project. IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE INITIAL BUILDING PERMITS FOR THE PROJECT, THE DEVELOPER SHALL PAY THE CITY THE FOUR MILILION AND NO/100 DOLLAR ($4,000,000) AFFORDABLE HOUSING FEE BY CASHIER'S CHECK OR ELECTRONIC FUNDS. ONCE PAID, THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FEE SHALL BE NON-REFUNDABLE.
9.13 Joint Order Escrow Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Developer and the Title Company (or such other Escrowee as shall be acceptable to DHED, in its sole discretion) shall have executed a joint order escrow agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the "Joint Order Escrow Agreement"). The Developer shall deposit into the escrow account an amount equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). The Developer acknowledges that the funds in the escrow account shall be used solely to reimburse the Developer for the "Incremental Costs" (as defined below) the Developer has incurred for the removal (including, excavation, transportation and disposal), storage, remediation, or treatment of "Hazardous Waste" (as defined below) from the Property. The Developer acknowledges that, subject to the City's reimbursement obligation for such Incremental Costs, up to such Five Hundred Thousand Dollar ($500,000) cap, (i) the City will not pay for any removal (including, excavation, transportation and disposal), storage, remediation or treatment costs associated with any material from the Property, including any material meeting regulatory criteria of Hazardous Waste, and (ii) the Developer is solely responsible for all removal (including, excavation, transportation and disposal), storage, remediation or treatment costs associated with material meeting regulatory criteria of Hazardous Waste, even if those costs exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). Any funds remaining in the environmental escrow account following the Escrowee's payment from the escrow account of the Incremental Costs shall be paid to the City. The Developer shall pay all escrow fees. "Hazardous Waste" means and includes (a) a characteristic waste, which exhibits one or more of four characteristics defined in 40 CFR Part 261 Subpart C, (b) any other material, substance or waste that must be removed or remediated in order for the Developer to obtain the Residential No Further Remediation Letter required for the Property, and (c) underground storage tanks and related petroleum contaminated soils limited only to material exceeding soil saturation limits or material meeting RCRA hazardous waste criteria. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in no event shall "Hazardous Waste" mean and include any material, substance or waste removed from the Property that, due to the historical depositing of debris, rubble, ash, and fill materials after the Chicago Fire in the South Loop and in other portions of the City, has led to historically-elevated background levels of elements such as arsenic and lead, and elevated background levels for PNAs and other substances in such areas. Similarly, no costs associated with disposing of materials, substances or wastes containing such elevated background levels shall be included as "Incremental Costs" (as defined below). The Department of Fleet and Facility Management, in consultation with GaiaTech, Inc., the Developer's environmental consultant, shall cooperate in reviewing removal and remediation measures and records to determine when and to what extent such elevated background levels are present in any applicable material, substance or waste for purposes of such "Hazardous Waste" and "Incremental Cost" determinations. "Incremental costs" refers to the difference in costs, if any, between (i) the removal (including, excavation, transportation and disposal), storage, remediation and treatment costs for Hazardous Wastes that the Developer incurs and (ii) the costs for performing similar work had the Property not contained Hazardous Wastes. Such costs must be based on the Developer's actual costs, identified in a contract and verified by actual receipts, with no markup by the Developer for these costs. For example, if the cost for disposing of the Hazardous Waste on the Property was $10 and the cost of disposing of the same quantity of material from the Property had it not been Flazardous Waste was $8, then the incremental costs for the disposal of such material is $2. "Incremental Costs" specifically excludes any costs relating to investigation, sampling, monitoring and testing related to disposal of potential or actual "Hazardous Waste," excluding only the invoice attached as Exhibit G and future testing related to environmental remediation approved by city, state or federal environmental agencies. The Developer shall have no obligation to perform any removal, storage, remediation or treatment prior to the Closing Date. 9.14 Easement. On the Closing Date, the Developer shall have in recordable form a plat of easement and a grant of easement that grants the Chicago Transit Authority (the "CTA") the non-exclusive right to maintain such CTA-owned underground support columns and aerial signal platform that are beneath or above the Property at certain horizontal planes, respectively, and the Developer shall at its expense record same immediately following the recording of this Agreement and the Deed. 9.15 Other Obligations. On the Closing Date, the Developer shall have performed all of the other obligations required to be performed by the Developer under this Agreement as of such date as and when required under this Agreement. If any of the conditions in this Section 9 have not been satisfied to the City's reasonable satisfaction within the time periods provided for herein, or waived by DHED in writing, the City may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to the Developer. In such event, the City shall retain One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) of the Earnest Money and shall promptly return the remaining amount of the Earnest Money (i.e., $150,000) to the Developer, this Agreement shall be null and void and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither party shall have any further right, duty or obligation hereunder. Any forbearance by the City in exercising its right to terminate this Agreement upon a default hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of such right. SECTION 10. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS.
- Site Plans and Rental Space. The Developer shall construct the Project on the Property substantially in accordance with the preliminary design development drawings and specifications prepared by Solomon Cordwell Buenz dated December 20, 2012, which have been approved by DHED and which are attached hereto as Exhibit C ("Working Drawings and Specifications"). No material deviation from the Working Drawings and Specifications may be made without the prior written approval of DHED. If the Developer submits and DHED approves revised design development drawings and specifications (including but not limited to permit drawings approved by the City) after the date of this Agreement, the term "Working Drawings and Specifications" as used herein shall refer to the revised design development drawings and specifications upon DHED's written approval of the same. DHED shall have the right to approve the initial retail tenants, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the permitted retail uses listed on Exhibit F attached hereto (if permitted under the Planned Development zoning approved for the Property) and any uses permitted under the Planned Development zoning approved for the Property shall be deemed acceptable retail uses by DHED.
- Relocation of Utilities, Curb Cuts and Driveways. The Developer shall be solely responsible for and shall pay all costs associated with: (a) the relocation, installation or construction of public or private utilities, curb cuts and driveways; (b) the repair or reconstruction of any curbs, vaults, sidewalks or parkways required in connection with or damaged as a result of the Developer's construction of the Project; (c) the removal of existing pipes, utility equipment or building foundations; (d) the termination of existing water or other services; and (e) the removal or discontinuance of use of metered parking spaces (whether permanent, such as, for example, due to the installation of a curb cut or driveway that eliminates metered parking spaces, or temporary, such as, for example, due to the need to close a lane of a street for construction staging or public safety purposes) along the interior perimeter of the block
bordered on the north side of East 9th Street, on the east side by South Holden Court, on the south side of East 10th Street, and on west side by South State Street reasonably attributable to the Project. As to amounts in subsection (e), the Developer acknowledges that under the Metered Parking Concessions Agreement entered into between the City and Chicago Parking Meters, L.L.C. (the "Concessionaire") dated effective as of February 13, 2009, when parking spaces subject to the terms of such agreement are removed or the ability to use such parking spaces is discontinued, the City is generally obligated to either pay the Concessionaire for lost revenues attributable to such spaces or provide the Concessionaire with replacement metered parking spaces, all as more particularly described in such concession agreement. The City may, but shall have no obligation to, identify replacement spaces in order to mitigate any such payments due to the Concessionaire in connection with the Project, and the Developer shall, in any event, pay any required amounts due to the Concessionaire that are attributable to the removal or discontinuance of use (whether permanent or temporary) of metered parking spaces as a result of the Project. Such amounts shall be paid from time to time within five (5) business days' of the City's written notice of the amount due. The City shall have the right to approve any streetscaping provided by the Developer as part of the Project, including, without limitation, any paving of sidewalks, landscaping and lighting.
- City's Right to Inspect Property. For the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing through the date the City issues the Certificate of Completion, any duly authorized representative of the City shall have access to the Property at all reasonable times for the purpose of determining whether the Developer is constructing the Project in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and all applicable federal, state and local statutes, laws, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, orders and judgments, including, without limitation, Sections 7-28 and 11-4 of the Municipal Code of Chicago relating to waste disposal (collectively, "Laws").
- Barricades and Signs. Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, the Developer shall, at its sole cost and expense, erect and maintain such signs as the City may reasonably require identifying the Property as a City redevelopment project. Prior to the commencement of any construction activity requiring barricades, the Developer shall install barricades of a type and appearance satisfactory to the City and constructed in compliance with all applicable Laws. DHED shall have the right to approve the maintenance, appearance, color scheme, painting, nature, type, content and design of all barricades and all signage, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Developer shall erect all signs and barricades so as not to interfere with or affect any bus stop or train station in the vicinity of the Property.
- Survival. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the Closing.
SECTION 11. LIMITED APPLICABILITY. Any approval given by DHED pursuant to this Agreement is for the purpose of this Agreement only and does not constitute the approval required by the City's Department of Buildings or any other City department, nor does such DHED approval constitute an approval of the quality, structural soundness or safety of any improvements located or to be located on the Property, or the compliance of said improvements with any Laws, private covenants, restrictions of record, or any agreement affecting the Property or any part thereof. SECTION 12. COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION OF PROJECT. The Developer shall commence construction of the Project no later than eighteen (18) months following the issuance of building permits, and shall complete the Project (as determined by DHED) no later than thirty-six (36) months following the date on which the Developer commences construction. The Commissioner shall have discretion to extend any of the construction commencement and completion dates for good cause shown by issuing a written extension letter. The Developer shall give written notice to the City within five (5) days after it commences construction of the Project. The Developer shall construct the Project in accordance with the Working Drawings and Specifications, the Planned Development, and all Laws and covenants and restrictions of record. SECTION 13. CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION. Upon the completion of the Project in accordance with this Agreement, the Developer shall request from the City a certificate of completion ("Certificate of CjHmDleJion'')- Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a written request by the Developer for a Certificate of Completion, which written request shall include a copy of the recorded Residential No Further Remediation Letter, the City shall provide the Developer with either the Certificate of Completion or a written statement indicating in adequate detail how the Developer has failed to complete the Project in compliance with this Agreement, or is otherwise in default, and what measures or acts are necessary, in the sole opinion of the City, for the Developer to take or perform in order to obtain the Certificate of Completion. If the City requires additional measures or acts to assure compliance, the Developer shall resubmit a written request for the Certificate of Completion upon compliance with the City's response. The Certificate of Completion shall be in recordable form, and shall, upon recording, constitute a conclusive determination of satisfaction and termination of the covenants in this Agreement and the Deed with respect to the Developer's obligations to construct the Project. The Certificate of Completion shall not, however, constitute evidence that the Developer has complied with any Laws relating to the construction of the Project, and shall not serve as any "guaranty" as to the quality of the construction. Promptly following the recordation of the Certificate of Completion, the City shall return the Performance Deposit to the Developer. SECTION 14. RESTRICTIONS ON USE. The Developer agrees that it: 14.1 Shall devote the Property solely to the Project. 14.2 Shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, gender identity, age, religion, disability, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, military discharge status, or source of income in the use or occupancy of the Property or any part thereof or the Project or any part thereof. 14.3 Shall devote the Property to a use consistent with the Redevelopment Plan. SECTION 15. PROHIBITION AGAINST SALE OR TRANSFER OF PROPERTY OR CERTAIN CHANGES IN CORPORATE STRUCTURE. 15.1 Prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion for the Project, as provided herein, the Developer may not, without the prior written consent of DHED, which consent shall be in DHED's sole discretion: (a) directly or indirectly sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein or the Developer's controlling interests therein (including without limitation, a transfer by assignment of any beneficial interest under a land trust); or (b) directly or indirectly assign this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developer may, with the prior written consent of DHED, which consent shall not unreasonably withheld, admit Alcion Ventures, or its affiliate, or another equity investor, as a member, so long as Lee Golub and/or Michael Newman, or any entity controlled by Lee Golub and/or Michael Newman, continue to serve as the controlling manager or managing member of the Developer and any such equity investor provides all required Economic Disclosure Forms and "scofflaw check" information to the City and financial statement evidencing its ability to make such equity investment. With respect to any proposed sale, transfer or disposition prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the Developer shall provide the City copies of any and all sales contracts, legal descriptions, descriptions of intended use of the parcels to be sold, proposed use of Property and other documentation as the City may reasonably require. The Developer acknowledges and agrees that DHED may withhold its consent under (a) or (b) above (and as to the admission of any equity investor) if, among other reasons, the proposed purchaser, transferee or assignee (or such entity's principal officers or directors) is in violation of any Laws, or if the Developer fails to submit sufficient evidence of the financial responsibility, business background and reputation of the proposed purchaser, transferee or assignee. Except as permitted above, no principal party of the Developer (e.g., a manager, member, or managing-member) may sell, transfer or assign any of its interest in Developer prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion to anyone other than another principal party (or to the personal trust of such transferor, for estate planning purposes), without the prior written consent of DHED, which consent shall be in DHED's sole discretion. The Developer must disclose the identity of all members to the City at the time such members obtain an interest in the Developer. The provisions of this Section 15 shall not prohibit the Developer from transferring or conveying the Property to an Illinois land trust of which the Developer is the sole beneficiary. 15.2 Prior the issuance ofthe Certificate of Completion, the Developer shall not, without the City's prior written consent, which shall be in the City's sole discretion: (i) merge, liquidate or consolidate, (ii) permit the direct or indirect transfer any ownership interests in the Developer except as permitted under Section 15.1, (iii) enter into any transaction outside the ordinary course of business, (iv) assume or guarantee the obligations of any other person or entity, or (v) enter into a transaction that, in the City's sole determination, would cause a material and detrimental change to the Developer's condition. SECTION 16. LIMITATION UPON ENCUMBRANCE OF PROPERTY. Prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion, the Developer shall not, without DHED's prior written consent, which shall be in DHED's sole discretion, engage in any financing or other transaction which would create an encumbrance or lien on the Property, except for (a) any mortgages and related financing documents approved pursuant to Section 9.2 related to the Land Purchase Financing, (b) mortgages and related financing documents, the proceeds of which are used to finance the Developer's construction of the Project, and (c) any encumbrance arising from the recording of the Residential No Further Remediation Letter. SECTION 17. MORTGAGEES NOT OBLIGATED TO CONSTRUCT. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or of the Deed, the holder of any mortgage authorized by this Agreement (or any affiliate of such holder) shall not itself be obligated to construct or complete the Project, or to guarantee such construction or completion, but shall be bound by the other covenants running with the land specified in Section 18 and shall, prior to recording any mortgage approved pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 16, execute and record a Subordination Agreement (as defined in Section 9.7). If any such mortgagee or its affiliate succeeds to the Developer's interest in the Property prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion, whether by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and thereafter transfers its interest in the Property to another party, such transferee shall be obligated to complete the Project, and shall also be bound by the other covenants running with the land specified in Section 18. SECTION 18. COVENANTS RUNNING WITH THE LAND. The parties agree, and the Deed shall so expressly provide, that the covenants provided in Section 12 (Commencement and Completion of Project), Section 14 (Restrictions on Use), Section 15 (Prohibition Against Sale or Transfer of Property), Section 16 (Limitation Upon Encumbrance of Property) and Section 22.3 (Environmental Remediation) will be covenants running with the land, binding on the Developer and its successors and assigns (subject to the limitation set forth in Section 17 above as to any permitted mortgagee) to the fullest extent permitted by law and equity for the benefit and in favor of the City, and shall be enforceable by the City. The covenants provided in Section 12, Section 15 and Section 16 shall terminate upon the issuance of the Certificate of Completion. The covenants contained in Section 14.1 shall remain in effect for so long as the Developer remains in title to the Property; provided, however, such covenants shall not terminate prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion. The covenants contained in Section 14.2 shall remain in effect without limitation as to time. The covenant contained in Section 14.3 shall terminate upon the expiration of the Redevelopment Plan, as such expiration may be amended from time to time in accordance with and pursuant to applicable law. The covenant in Section 22.3 shall terminate in accordance with the terms of the Residential No Further Remediation Letter. SECTION 19. PERFORMANCE AND BREACH.
- Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the Developer's performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
- Permitted Delays. The Developer shall not be considered in breach of its obligations under this Agreement in the event of a delay due to unforeseeable causes beyond the Developer's control and without the Developer's fault or negligence, including, without limitation, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of the United States government, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, embargoes and unusually severe weather or delays of subcontractors due to such causes. The time for the performance of the obligations shall be extended only for the period of the delay and only if the Developer, within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Developer learns of such force majeure event, submits to the Commissioner a written request for an extension.
- Cure. If the Developer defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Developer shall have sixty (60) days after written notice of default from the City to cure the default, or such longer period as shall be reasonably necessary to cure such default provided the Developer promptly commences such cure and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion (so long as continuation of the default does not create material risk to the Project or to persons using the Project). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice or cure period shall apply to defaults under Sections 19.4 (c), (e) and (g).
- Event of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement:
- The Developer makes or furnishes a warranty, representation, statement or certification to the City (whether in this Agreement, an Economic Disclosure Statement and Affidavit, or another document) that is not true and correct.
- A petition is filed by or against the Developer under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar state or federal law, whether now or hereafter existing, which is not vacated, stayed or set aside within thirty (30) days after filing.
- The Developer fails to complete the Project in accordance with the time line outlined in Section 12 above, or the Developer abandons or substantially suspends construction of the Project.
- The Developer fails to timely pay real estate taxes or assessments affecting the Property or any part thereof and payable after the Closing Date when due, or places thereon any encumbrance or lien unauthorized by this Agreement, or suffers or permits any levy or attachment, mechanic's, laborer's, material supplier's, or any other lien or encumbrance unauthorized by this Agreement to attach to the Property unless bonded or insured over.
- The Developer makes an assignment, pledge, unpermitted financing, encumbrance, transfer or other disposition in violation of this Agreement.

The provisions of this Section 22.4 shall survive the Closing. SECTION 23. DEVELOPER'S EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS. 23.1 Employment Opportunity. The Developer agrees, and shall contractually obligate its various contractors, subcontractors and any affiliate of the Developer operating on the Property (collectively, the "Employers" and individually, an "Employer") to agree, that with respect to the provision of services in connection with the construction of the Project prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Completion:
- Neither the Developer nor any Employer shall discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment based upon race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, national origin or ancestry, age, handicap or disability, sexual orientation, military discharge status, marital status, parental status or source of income as defined in the City of Chicago Human Rights Ordinance, Section 2-160-010 et seg. of the Municipal Code of Chicago, as amended from time to time (the "Human Rights Ordinance"). The Developer and each Employer shall take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are hired and employed without discrimination based upon the foregoing grounds, and are treated in a non-discriminatory manner with regard to all job-related matters, including, without limitation: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The Developer and each Employer agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the City setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause. In addition, the Developer and each Employer, in all print solicitations or advertisements for employees, shall state that all qualified applicants shall receive consideration for employment without discrimination based upon the foregoing grounds.
- To the greatest extent feasible, the Developer and each Employer shall present opportunities for training and employment of low and moderate income residents of the City, and provide that contracts for work in connection with the construction of the Project be awarded to business concerns which are located in or owned in substantia! part by persons residing in, the City.
- The Developer and each Employer shall comply with all federal, state and local equal employment and affirmative action statutes, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Human Rights Ordinance, and the
Illinois Human Rights Act, 775 ILCS 5/1-101 et seg. (1993), and any subsequent amendments and regulations promulgated thereto.
- The Developer, in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this Section 23.1. shall cooperate with and promptly and accurately respond to reasonable inquiries by the City, which has the responsibility to observe and report compliance with equal employment opportunity regulations of federal, state and municipal agencies.
- The Developer and each Employer shall include the foregoing provisions of subparagraphs (a) through (d) in every contract entered into in connection with the construction of the Project, and shall require inclusion of these provisions in every subcontract entered into by any subcontractors, and every agreement with any affiliate operating on the Property, so that each such provision shall be binding upon each contractor, subcontractor or affiliate, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 23, "affiliate" means any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with any other person.
- Failure to comply with the employment obligations described in this Section 23.1 shall be a basis for the City to pursue remedies under the provisions of Section 19.
23.2 City Resident Employment Requirement.
- With respect to the Project, the Developer agrees, and shall contractually obligate each Employer to agree, that during the construction of the Project, the Developer and each Employer shall comply with the minimum percentage of total worker hours performed by actual residents of the City of Chicago as specified in Section 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code of Chicago (at least fifty percent); provided, however, that in addition to complying with this percentage, the Developer and each Employer shall be required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified residents of the City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions.
- The Developer and the Employers may request a reduction or waiver of this minimum percentage level of Chicagoans as provided for in Section 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code of Chicago in accordance with standards and procedures developed by the chief procurement officer of the City of Chicago.
- "Actual residents of the City of Chicago" shall mean persons domiciled within the City of Chicago. The domicile is an individual's one and only true, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment.
- The Developer and the Employers shall provide for the maintenance of adequate employee residency records to ensure that actual Chicago residents are employed on the construction of the Project. The
Developer and the Employers shall maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every Chicago employee's actual record of residence.
- The Developer and the Employers shall submit weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) to 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 Developer or Employer hired the employee should be written in after the employee's name.
- The Developer and the Employers shall provide full access to their employment records to the chief procurement officer, DHED, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the inspector general, or any duly authorized representative thereof. The Developer and the Employers shall maintain all relevant personnel data and records for a period of at least three (3) years after the issuance of the Certificate of Completion.
- At the direction of DHED, the Developer and the Employers shall provide affidavits and other supporting documentation to verify or clarify an employee's actual address when doubt or lack of clarity has arisen.
- Good faith efforts on the part of the Developer and the Employers to provide work for actual Chicago residents (but not sufficient for the granting of a waiver request as provided for in the standards and procedures developed by the chief procurement officer) shall not suffice to replace the actual, verified achievement of the requirements of this Section 23.2 concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
(i) If the City determines that the Developer or an Employer failed to ensure the fulfillment of the requirements of this Section 23.2 concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents or failed to report in the manner as indicated above, the City will thereby be damaged in the failure to provide the benefit of demonstrable employment to Chicagoans to the degree stipulated in this Section 23.2. If such non-compliance is not remedied in accordance with the breach and cure provisions of Section 19.3, the parties agree that 1/20 of 1 percent (.05%) of the aggregate hard construction costs set forth in the MBE/WBE Budget (as defined in Section 23.3 below) shall be surrendered by the Developer and for the Employers to the City in payment for each percentage of shortfall toward the stipulated residency requirement. Failure to report the residency of employees entirely and correctly shall result in the surrender of the entire liquidated damages as if no Chicago residents were employed in either of the categories. The willful falsification of statements and the certification of payroll data may subject the Developer and/or the other Employers or employees to prosecution. (j) Nothing herein provided shall be construed to be a limitation upon the "Notice of Requirements for Affirmative Action to Ensure Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246" and "Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246," or other affirmative action required for equal opportunity under the provisions of this Agreement. (k) The Developer shall cause or require the provisions of this Section 23.2 to be included in all construction contracts and subcontracts related to the construction of the Project. 23.3 Developer's MBE/WBE Commitment.

For purposes of this subsection (e), the disqualification procedures are further described in Sections 2-92-540 and 2-92-730, Municipal Code of Chicago, as applicable.

SECTION 30. SHAKMAN (i) The City is subject to the May 31, 2007 Order entitled "Agreed Settlement Order and Accord" (the "Shakman Accord") and the August 16, 2007 "City of Chicago Hiring Plan" ( the "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. (ii) 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. (iii) Developer will not condition, base, or knowingly prejudice or affect any term or aspect to 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. (iii) In the event of any communication to Developer by a City employee or City official in violation of subparagraph(ii) above, or advocating a violation of subparagraph (iii) above, Developer will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, report such communication to the Hiring Oversight Section of the City's Office ofthe Inspector General ("IGO Hiring Oversight"), and also to the head of the relevant City Department utilizing services provided under this Agreement. Developer will also cooperate with any inquiries by IGO Hiring Oversight or the Shakman Monitor's Office related to the contract. SECTION 31. COMPLIANCE WITH "WASTE" PROVISIONS. Any duly authorized representative of the City shall have access to the Property and to the real property on which the Project work is performed at all reasonable times for the purpose of determining whether the Developer is constructing the Project in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and all applicable federal, state and local statutes, laws, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, orders and judgments, including, without limitation, Sections 7-28 and 11-4 of the Municipal Code of Chicago relating to waste disposal (collectively, the "Waste Sections"). Developer's violation of the Waste Sections (including, but not limited to, Sections 7-28-390 Dumping on public way; 7-28-440 Dumping on real estate without permit; 11-4-1410 Disposal in waters prohibited; 11-4-1420 Ballast tank, bilge tank or other discharge; 11-4-1450 Gas manufacturing residue; 11-4-1500 Treatment and disposal of solid or liquid waste; 11-4-1530 Compliance with rules and regulations required; 11-4-1550 Operational requirements; and 11-4-1560 Screening requirements), whether or not relating to the performance of this Agreement, constitutes a default under this Agreement (subject to the cure provisions of Section 19.3) and entitles the City to all remedies under the Agreement, at law or in equity. This section does not limit Developer, general contractor's and its subcontractors' duty to comply with all applicable federal, state, county and municipal laws, statutes, ordinances and executive orders, in effect now or later, and whether or not they appear in this Agreement. SECTION 32. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN ELIGIBILITY TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE CITY. Failure by Developer or any controlling person (as defined in Section 1-23-010 of the Municipal Code of Chicago) thereof to maintain eligibility to do business with the City of Chicago as required by Section 1-23-030 of the Municipal Code of Chicago shall be grounds for termination of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Developer shall at all times comply with Section 2-154-020 of the Municipal Code of Chicago. SECTION 33. INSPECTOR GENERAL AND LEGISLATIVE INSPECTOR GENERAL. It is the duty of every officer, employee, department, agency, contractor, subcontractor, Developer and licensee of the City, and every applicant for certification of eligibility for a City contract or program, to cooperate with the City's Legislative Inspector General and with the City's Inspector General in any investigation or hearing undertaken pursuant to Chapters 2-55 and 2-56, respectively, of the Municipal Code of Chicago.
