SECTION 10. DEVELOPER'S EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS
10.01 Employment Opportunity. Developer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby agrees, and shall contractually obligate its or their various contractors, subcontractors or any Affiliate of Developer operating on the Property (collectively, with Developer, the "Employers" and individually an "Employer") to agree, that for the Term of this Agreement with respect to Developer and during the period ofany other party's provision of services in connection with the construction ofthe Project or occupation ofthe Property:
No Employer shall discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment based upon race, religion, color, sex, national origin or ancestry, age, handicap or disability, sexual orientation, military discharge status, marital status, parental status or source of income as defined in the City of Chicago Human Rights Ordinance, Chapter 2-160, Section 2-160-010 et seq., Municipal Code, except as otherwise provided by said ordinance and as amended from time to time (the "Human Rights Ordinance"). Each Employer shall take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are hired and employed without discrimination based upon race, religion, color, sex, national origin or ancestry, age, handicap or disability, sexual orientation, military discharge status, marital status, parental status or source of income and are treated in a non-discriminatory manner with regard to all job-related matters, including without limitation: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. Each Employer agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the City setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause. In addition, the Employers, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees, shall state that all qualified applicants shall receive consideration for employment without discrimination based upon race, religion, color, sex, national origin or ancestry, age, handicap or disability, sexual orientation, military discharge status, marital status, parental status or source of income.
To the greatest extent feasible, each Employer is required to present opportunities for training and employment of low- and moderate-income residents ofthe City and preferably ofthe Redevelopment Area; and to provide that contracts for work in connection with the construction of the Project be awarded to business concerns that are located in, or owned in substantial part by persons residing in, the City and preferably in the Redevelopment Area.
Each Employer shall comply with all federal, state and local equal employment and affirmative action statutes, rules and regulations, including but not limited to the City's Human Rights Ordinance and the Illinois Human Rights Act, 775 ILCS 5/1-101 et seg. (1993), and any subsequent amendments and regulations promulgated thereto.
Each Employer, in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this Section, shall cooperate with and promptly and accurately respond to inquiries by the City, which has the responsibility to observe and report compliance with equal employment opportunity regulations of federal, state and municipal agencies.
Each Employer shall include the foregoing provisions of subparagraphs (a) through (d) in every contract entered into in connection with the Project, and shall require inclusion of these provisions in every subcontract entered into by any subcontractors, and every agreement with any Affiliate operating on the Property, so that each such provision shall be binding upon each contractor, subcontractor or Affiliate, as the case may be.
28
(f) Failure to comply with the employment obligations described in this Section 10.01 shall be a basis for the City to pursue remedies under the provisions of Section 15.02 hereof.
10.02 Citv Resident Construction Worker Employment Requirement. Developer agrees for itself and its successors and assigns, and shall contractually obligate its General Contractor and shall cause the General Contractor to contractually obligate its subcontractors, as applicable, to agree, that during the construction ofthe Project they shall comply with the minimum percentage of total worker hours performed by actual residents ofthe City as specified in Section 2-92-330 ofthe Municipal Code (at least 50 percent ofthe total worker hours worked by persons on the site ofthe Project shall be performed by actual residents of the City); provided, however, that in addition to complying with this percentage, Developer, its General Contractor and each subcontractor shall be required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified residents of the City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions.
Developer may request a reduction or waiver of this minimum percentage level of Chicagoans as provided for in Section 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code in accordance with standards and procedures developed by the Chief Procurement Officer of the City.
"Actual residents ofthe City" shall mean persons domiciled within the City. The domicile is an individual's one and only true, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment.
Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor shall provide for the maintenance of adequate employee residency records to show that actual Chicago residents are employed on the Project. Each Employer shall maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every Chicago employee's actual record of residence.
Weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) shall be submitted to the Commissioner of DPD in triplicate, which shall identify clearly the actual residence of every employee on each submitted certified payroll. The first time that an employee's name appears on a payroll, the date that the Employer hired the employee should be written in after the employee's name.
Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor shall provide full access to their employment records to the Chief Procurement Officer, the Commissioner of DPD, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the Inspector General or any duly authorized representative of any of them. Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor shall maintain all relevant personnel data and records for a period of at least three (3) years after final acceptance of the work constituting the Project.
At the direction of DPD, affidavits and other supporting documentation will be required of Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor to verify or clarify an employee's actual address when doubt or lack of clarity has arisen.
Good faith efforts on the part of Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor to provide utilization of actual Chicago residents (but not sufficient for the granting of a waiver request as provided for in the standards and procedures developed by the Chief Procurement Officer) shall not suffice to replace the actual, verified achievement of the requirements of this Section concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
29
When work at the Project is completed, in the event that the City has determined that Developer has failed to ensure the fulfillment of the requirement of this Section 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. Therefore, in such a case of non-compliance, it is agreed that 1/20 of 1 percent (0.0005) of the aggregate hard construction costs set forth in the Project budget (the product of .0005 x such aggregate hard construction costs) (as the same shall be evidenced by approved contract value for the actual contracts) shall be surrendered by Developer to the City in payment for each percentage of shortfall toward the stipulated residency requirement. Failure to report the residency of employees entirely and correctly shall result in the surrender of the entire liquidated damages as if no Chicago residents were employed in either of the categories. The willful falsification of statements and the certification of payroll data may subject Developer, the General Contractor and/or the subcontractors to prosecution. Any retainage to cover contract performance that may become due to Developer pursuant to Section 2-92-250 of the Municipal Code may be withheld by the City pending the Chief Procurement Officer's determination as to whether Developer must surrender damages as provided in this paragraph.
Nothing herein provided shall be construed to be a limitation upon the "Notice of Requirements for Affirmative Action to Ensure Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246" and "Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246," or other affirmative action required for equal opportunity under the provisions of this Agreement or related documents.
Developer shall cause or require the provisions of this Section 10.02 to be included in the Construction Contract and all subcontracts related to the Construction Contract.

the purchase of materials or services used in the Project from one or more MBEs or WBEs, or by
any combination of the foregoing. Those entities which constitute both a MBE and a WBE shall not

Developer must furnish the City of Chicago, Department of Planning and Development, City Hall, Room 1000,121 North LaSalle Street 60602, original Certificates of Insurance, or such similar evidence, to be in force on the date of this Agreement, and Renewal Certificates of Insurance, or such similar evidence, if the coverages have an expiration or renewal date occurring during the term of this Agreement. Developer must submit evidence of insurance on the City of Chicago Insurance Certificate Form (copy attached) or equivalent prior to closing. The receipt of any certificate does not constitute agreement by the City that the
34
insurance requirements in the Agreement have been fully met or that the insurance policies indicated on the certificate are in compliance with all Agreement requirements. The failure ofthe City to obtain certificates or other insurance evidence from Developer is not a waiver by the City of any requirements for Developer to obtain and maintain the specified coverages. Developer shall advise all insurers of the Agreement provisions regarding insurance. Non-conforming insurance does not relieve Developer of the obligation to provide insurance as specified herein. Nonfulfillment of the insurance conditions may constitute a violation of the Agreement, and the City retains the right to stop work and/or terminate agreement until proper evidence of insurance is provided.
The insurance must provide for 60 days prior written notice to be given to the City in the event coverage is substantially changed, canceled, or non-renewed.
Any deductibles or self insured retentions on referenced insurance coverages must be borne by Developer and Contractors.
Developer hereby waives and agrees to require their insurers to.waive their rights of subrogation against the City of Chicago, its employees, elected officials, agents, or representatives.
The coverages and limits furnished by Developer in no way limit Developer's liabilities and responsibilities specified within the Agreement or by law.
Any insurance or self insurance programs maintained by the City of Chicago do not contribute with insurance provided by Developer under the Agreement.
The required insurance to be carried is not limited by any limitations expressed in the indemnification language in this Agreement or any limitation placed on the indemnity in this Agreement given as a matter of law.
If Developer is a joint venture or limited liability company, the insurance policies must name the joint venture or limited liability company as a named insured.
Developer must require Contractor and subcontractors to provide the insurance required herein, or Developer may provide the coverages for Contractor and subcontractors. All Contractors and subcontractors are subject to the same insurance requirements of Developer unless otherwise specified in this Agreement.
If Developer, any Contractor or subcontractor desires additional coverages, the party desiring the additional coverages is responsible forthe acquisition and cost.
The City of Chicago Risk Management Department maintains the right to modify, delete, alter or change these requirements.
SECTION 13. INDEMNIFICATION

Developer agrees to indemnify, pay, defend and hold the City, and its elected and appointed officials, employees, agents and affiliates (individually an "Indemnitee," and collectively the "Indemnitees") harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and
35
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (and including without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, suffered, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnitees in any manner relating or arising out of:

Developer's failure to cure any misrepresentation in this Agreement or any other agreement relating hereto;
provided, however, that Developer shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee arising from the wanton or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee.

The provisions ofthe undertakings and indemnification set out in this Section 13.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

In the event Developer shall fail to perform a non-monetary covenant which Developer is required to perform under this Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred unless Developer has failed to cure such default within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a written notice from the City specifying the nature of the default; provided, however, with respect to those non-monetary defaults which are not capable of being cured within such thirty (30) day period, Developer shall not be deemed to have committed an Event of Default under this Agreement if it has commenced to cure the alleged default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes the cure of such default until the same has been cured; provided, further, that there shall be no cure period

if the Event of Default is of a non-monetary nature, any party entitled to cure such default shall have the right to cure it within 30 days after the later of: (i) the expiration of the cure period, if any, granted to the Developer with respect to such non-monetary default; or (ii) receipt of such notice from the City; provided, however, that if such non-monetary default is not reasonably capable of being cured by the lenders within such 30-day period, such period shall be extended for such reasonable period of time as may be necessary to cure such default, provided that the party seeking such cure must continue diligently to pursue such cure and, if possession ofthe Project is necessary to effect such cure, the party seeking such cure must have instituted appropriate legal proceedings to obtain possession to the extent such party has the right to do so.
SECTION 16. MORTGAGING OF THE PROJECT
All mortgages or deeds of trust in place as ofthe date hereof with respect to the Property or any portion thereof are listed on Exhibit G hereto (including but not limited to mortgages made prior to or on the date hereof in connection with Lender Financing, including, but not limited to the NMTC Loan and the Senior Loan) and are referred.to herein as the "Existing Mortgages." Any mortgage or deed of trust that Developer may hereafter elect to execute and record or permit to be recorded against the Property or any portion thereof is referred to herein as a "New Mortgage." Any New Mortgage that Developer may hereafter elect to execute and record or permit to be recorded against the Property or any portion thereof with the prior written consent of the City and any Existing Mortgage is referred to herein as a "Permitted Mortgage." It is hereby agreed by and between the City and Developer as follows:
(a) In the event that a mortgagee or any other party shall succeed to Developer's interest in the Property or any portion thereof pursuant to the exercise of remedies under a New Mortgage (other than a Permitted Mortgage), whether by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure,
39
and in conjunction therewith accepts an assignment of Developer's interest hereunder in accordance with Section 18.15 hereof, the City may, but shall not be obligated to, attorn to and recognize such party as the successor in interest to Developer for all purposes under this Agreement and, unless so recognized by the City as the successor in interest, such party shall be entitled to no rights or benefits under this Agreement, but such party shall be bound by those provisions of this Agreement that are covenants expressly running with the land.
(b) In the event that any mortgagee or designee thereof or foreclosure purchaser shall
succeed to Developer's interest in the Property or any portion thereof pursuant to the exercise of
remedies under an Existing Mortgage or a Permitted Mortgage, whether by foreclosure or deed in
lieu of foreclosure, and in conjunction therewith accepts an assignment of Developer's interest
hereunder in accordance with Section 18.15 hereof, the City hereby agrees to attorn to and
recognize such party as the successor in interest to Developer for all purposes under this
Agreement so long as such party accepts all of the obligations and liabilities of "Developer";
provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is
understood and agreed that if such party accepts an assignment of Developer's interest under this
Agreement, such party has no liability under this Agreement for any Event of Default of Developer
which accrued prior to the time such party succeeded to the interest of Developer under this
Agreement, in which case Developer shall be solely responsible. However, if such mortgagee
under a Permitted Mortgage or an Existing Mortgage or designee thereof or foreclosure purchaser
does not expressly accept an assignment of Developer's interest hereunder, such party shall be
entitled to no rights and benefits under this Agreement, and such party shall be bound only by those
provisions of this Agreement, if any, which are covenants expressly running with the land.
(c) Prior to the issuance by the City to Developer of a Certificate pursuant to Section 7
hereof, no New Mortgage shall be executed with respect to the Property or any portion thereof
without the prior written consent of the Commissioner of DPD.

OPINION OF DEVELOPER'S COUNSEL [To be retyped on Developer's Counsel's letterhead]
City of Chicago
121 North LaSalle Street
Chicago, IL 60602
ATTENTION: Corporation Counsel
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Greater Auburn-Gresham Development Corporation, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation and GAGDC Support Corporation, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation ("QALICB") (collectively, the "Developer"), in connection with the purchase of certain land and the construction of certain facilities thereon located in the 79th Street Corridor Redevelopment Project Area (the "Project"). In that capacity, we have examined, among other things, the following agreements, instruments and documents of even date herewith, hereinafter referred to as the "Documents":
Greater Auburn-Gresham Development Corporation Redevelopment Agreement (the "Agreement") of even date herewith, executed by Developer and the City of Chicago (the "City");
the Escrow Agreement of even date herewith executed by Developer;
[insert other documents including but not limited to documents related to purchase and financing ofthe Property and all lender financing related to the Project]; and
all other agreements, instruments and documents executed in connection with the foregoing.
In addition to the foregoing, we have examined
the original or certified, conformed or photostatic copies of Developer's (i) Articles of Incorporation, as amended to date, (ii) qualifications to do business and certificates of good standing in all states in which Developer is qualified to do business, (iii) By-Laws, as amended to date, and (iv) records of all corporate proceedings relating to the Project [revise if Developer is not a corporation]; and
such other documents, records and legal matters as we have deemed necessary or relevant for purposes of issuing the opinions hereinafter expressed.
62
In all such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of Developer), the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals and conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies.
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
Developer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of [incorporation] [organization], has full power and authority to own and lease its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted, and is in good standing and duly qualified to do business as a foreign [corporation] [entity] underthe laws of every state in which the conduct of its affairs or the ownership of its assets requires such qualification, except for those states in which its failure to qualify to do business would not have a material adverse effect on it or its business.
Developer has full right, power and authority to execute and deliver the Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. Such execution, delivery and performance will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, Developer's [Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws] [describe any formation documents if Developer is not a corporation] or result in a breach or other violation of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any law or regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, government or regulatory authority, or, to the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, instrument or document to which Developer is a party or by which Developer or its properties is bound. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, such execution, delivery and performance will not constitute grounds for acceleration of the maturity of any agreement, indenture, undertaking or other instrument to which Developer is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien, charge or encumbrance on, or security interest in, any of its property pursuant to the provisions of any of the foregoing, other than liens or security interests in favor of the lender providing Lender Financing (as defined in the Agreement).
The execution and delivery of each Document and the performance of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized and approved by all requisite action on the part of Developer.
Each of the Documents to which Developer is a party has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of Developer, and each such Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Developer, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
Exhibit A attached hereto (a) identifies each class of capital stock of Developer, (b) sets forth the number of issued and authorized shares of each such class, and (c) identifies the record owners of shares of each class of capital stock of Developer and the number of shares held of record by each such holder. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, except as set forth on Exhibit A, there are no warrants, options, rights or commitments of purchase, conversion, call or exchange or other rights or restrictions with respect to any ofthe capital stock of Developer. Each outstanding share of the capital stock of Developer is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
63
To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, no judgments are outstanding against Developer, nor is there now pending or threatened, any litigation, contested claim or governmental proceeding by or against Developer or affecting Developer or its property, or seeking to restrain or enjoin the performance by Developer of the Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, or contesting the validity thereof. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, Developer is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction or decree ofany court, government or regulatory authority or in default in any respect under any law, order, regulation or demand of any governmental agency or instrumentality, a default under which would have a material adverse effect on Developer or its business.
To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, there is no default by Developer or any other party under any material contract, lease, agreement, instrument or commitment to which Developer is a party or by which the company or its properties is bound.
To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, all of the assets of Developer are free and clear of mortgages, liens, pledges, security interests and encumbrances except for those specifically set forth in the Documents.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Documents by Developer have not and will not require the consent of any person or the giving of notice to, any exemption by, any registration, declaration or filing with or any taking of any other actions in respect of, any person, including without limitation any court, government or regulatory authority.
To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, Developer owns or possesses or is licensed or otherwise has the right to use all licenses, permits and other governmental approvals and authorizations, operating authorities, certificates of public convenience, goods carriers permits, authorizations and other rights that are necessary for the operation of its business.
A federal or state court sitting in the State of Illinois and applying the choice of law provisions of the State of Illinois would enforce the choice of law contained in the Documents and apply the law ofthe State of Illinois to the transactions evidenced thereby.
We are attorneys admitted to practice in the State of Illinois and we express no opinion as to any laws other than federal laws ofthe United States of America and the laws ofthe State of Illinois.
[Note: include a reference to the laws of the state of incorporation/organization of Developer, if other than Illinois.]
This opinion is issued at Developer's request for the benefit of the City and its counsel, and may not be disclosed to or relied upon by any other person.
Very truly yours,
