"City"), through its Department of Housing and Economic Development ("HED"), and River Point LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Developer").
RECITALS
  1. Constitutional Authority: As a home rule unit of government under Section 6(a), Article VII of the 1970 Constitution of the State of Illinois (the "State"), the City has the power to regulate for the protection of the public health, safety, morals and welfare of its inhabitants, and pursuant thereto, has the power to encourage private development in order to enhance the local tax base, create employment opportunities and to enter into contractual agreements with private parties in order to achieve these goals.
  2. Statutory Authority: The City is authorized under the provisions of the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1 et seg., as amended from time to time (the "Act"), to finance projects that eradicate blighted conditions and conservation area factors through the use of tax increment allocation financing for redevelopment projects.
  3. City Council Authority: To induce redevelopment pursuant to the Act, the City Council of the City (the "City Council") adopted the following ordinances on November 15, 2006: (1) "An Ordinance of the City of Chicago, Illinois Approving a Redevelopment Plan for the LaSalle Central Redevelopment Project Area"; (2) "An Ordinance of the City of Chicago, Illinois Designating the LaSalle Central Redevelopment Project Area as a Redevelopment Project Area Pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act"; and (3) "An Ordinance of the City of Chicago, Illinois Adopting Tax Increment Allocation Financing for the LaSalle Central Redevelopment Project Area" (the "TIF Adoption Ordinance") (items(l)-(3) collectively referred to herein as the "TIF Ordinances"). The redevelopment project area referred to above (the "Redevelopment Area") is legally described in Exhibit A hereto.
 
 
 
EAS1A48505452.6
 
 
D. The Project: The Developer has purchased (the "Acquisition") certain property located within the Redevelopment Area immediately adjacent to the Chicago River (the "River") at the confluence of the North, South and Main branches of the River in Chicago, Illinois and legally described as Lot 2 and Lot 3 on Exhibit B hereto (the "Park Property"), and, within the time frames set forth in Section 3.01 hereof, shall commence and complete construction of an approximately one and one-half (1.5) acre public park on the Park Property (the "Park"). Of the approximately 66,179 square feet comprising the Park Property, approximately 17,800 square feet is owned in fee by Developer and approximately 48,379 square feet is also owned by Developer in fee but consists of air rights above Amtrak railroad facilities. Construction of the Park shall include several components including: (a) the design and construction of a new river wall and river walk, the foundations and footings for the deck above the rail facilities, the structural supports and retaining walls for the deck, concrete decking and the ventilation, HVAC, (if any), elevator, lighting, drainage and irrigation facilities (collectively, the "Project Deck"); (b) design, construction and installation of finished surfaces, hardscape, sidewalks, lighting, and furniture; and (c) installation of landscaping, green space and other park amenities. As set forth in the Park DEM Agreement (as hereinafter defined), public access to the park will occur at various points on West Lake Street, a grand stairway entrance on North Canal Street and from the existing river walk to the north of the Park Property. In addition, public access through the lobby of an office building proposed to be constructed on the Developer Property (as defined below), as set forth below, will be available during normal park hours. Handicapped access will be available at three different entrances. The Park and plaza will be open to the public every day from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Construction of the Park and related improvements set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above (including but not limited to those TIF-Funded Improvements as defined below and set forth on Exhibit C) is referred to herein as the "Project." The completion of the Project would not reasonably be anticipated without the financing contemplated in this Agreement.
Other Permits, Park Use, Other Uses & Park Easement: Completion of the Project shall require the City, with the support and assistance of Developer, to apply for necessary permits and approvals to encroach into the River (such river encroachment area, the "In-Fill Property"). Upon receiving said approvals and permits, the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation shall grant Developer such rights and approvals to construct and maintain the Project on the In-Fill property, all as set forth in the Park DEM Agreement. The City shall bear no cost or liability for filling applications for and attempting to obtain the approvals required to acquire the In-Fill Property. The City shall use its best efforts (as reasonably determined by the City acting alone) to obtain approvals needed to acquire the In-Fill Property. Developer also owns approximately 45,021 square feet of property (the "Developer Property") immediately adjacent to and west of the Park Property which property is legally described as Lot 1, Lot 4 and Lot 4A on Exhibit B hereto. In connection with the construction of the Project, Developer will construct an office tower with ground floor retail (the "Office Project") on a portion of the Developer Property. In order to enhance the Park, a limited portion of the Park Property may be used for outdoor dining, subject to the receipt of all the customary permits as may be applicable for such use. In order to insure that the Park Property shall be used as a Public Park, pursuant to the Development Easement and Maintenance Agreement of even date herewith (the "Park DEM Agreement"), Developer will grant an easement (the "Park Easement") to the City at closing. As provided in the Park DEM Agreement, the Developer shall be responsible for certain costs of landscaping, development and maintenance of the Park. The Park Easement and Developer's

responsibility for such costs shall be set forth in detail in the Park DEM Agreement. The Park DEM Agreement shall also set forth how organized program activities in the Park shall be determined.
  1. Redevelopment Plan: The Project will be carried out in accordance with this Agreement and the City of Chicago LaSalle Central Redevelopment Project Area Tax Increment Finance District Eligibility Study Redevelopment Plan and Project (the "Redevelopment Plan") attached hereto as Exhibit D.
  2. City Financing: The City agrees to use, in the amounts set forth in Section 4.03 hereof, (i) Available Incremental Taxes (as defined below) to pay principal and interest on the City Note, and/or (ii) Incremental Taxes to pay for or reimburse the Developer for the costs of TIF-Funded Improvements pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the City Note. Upon recordation of this Agreement, the Developer shall have priority for Available Incremental Taxes ahead of all projects EXCEPT for the projects to be completed pursuant to (1) that certain redevelopment agreement (the "Navteq RDA") entered into as of January 21, 2010 by and between the City and the Navteq Corporation and recorded on January 26, 2010 as document number 1002612025 and (2) that certain redevelopment agreement (the "Ziegler
RDA") entered into as of      , 20      by and between the City and the Ziegler
Companies, Inc. and B.C. Ziegler and Company and recorded on      ,

Improvements are being paid from Incremental Taxes deposited in the LaSalle Central Redevelopment Project Area TIF Fund attributable to the taxes levied oh the Park Property and the Developer Property, and (ii) completion of a portion of the Office Project on the Developer Property is a condition to the City's issuance of the Certificate and subsequently the City Note that (iii) on or after the date of this Agreement, the City shall not allocate or pledge the Available Incremental Taxes (as defined below) required to make payments on the City Note (pursuant to the debt service schedule to be attached upon Issuance) to any entity other than Developer and/or any of its Affiliates.
The City may, in its discretion, [but subject to the limitations set forth herein], issue tax increment allocation bonds ("TIF Bonds") secured by Incremental Taxes pursuant to a TIF bond ordinance (the "TIF Bond Ordinance") at a later date as described in Section 4.03(d) hereof, the proceeds of which (the "TIF Bond Proceeds") may be used to pay for the costs of the TIF-Funded Improvements not previously paid for from Available Incremental Taxes (including any such payment made pursuant to any City Note provided to Developer pursuant to this Agreement) or Incremental Taxes], to make payments of principal and interest on the City Note, or in order to reimburse the City for the costs of TIF-Funded Improvements.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

In connection with the development of the Project, certain railroad rules and policies will require construction during off-peak construction times, Developer is incurring substantial cost in order to comply with these rules and policies and thus it is in Developer's best interest to minimize work during these off-peak times. It is acknowledged that for the purposes of Chapter 11 of the City of Chicago Municipal Code and in light of the applicable railroad rules and policies, the Park shall be deemed a public improvement. Developer agrees that it shall use good faith efforts to minimize the duration of the off-peak construction hours during the construction of the Project.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.04, Change Orders resulting in an aggregate modification to the Project Budget of less than five percent (5%) (excluding any Financing Fees and Interest Costs), non-material revisions of the Scope Drawings or the Plans and Specifications, and changes to the Project Budget as a result of the Developer's election to proceed with equity financing in lieu of debt financing do not require HED's prior written approval as set forth in this Section 3.04, but HED shall be notified in writing of all such Change Orders.
  1. HED Approval. Any approval granted by HED of the Scope Drawings, Plans and Specifications and the Change Orders is for the purposes of this Agreement only and does not affect or constitute any approval required by any other City department or pursuant to any City ordinance, code, regulation or any other governmental approval, nor does any approval by HED pursuant to this Agreement constitute approval of the quality, structural soundness or safety of the Property or the Project.

SECTION 10 DEVELOPER'S EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS
10.01      Employment Opportunity.  The 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 the Developer operating on the Park Property (collectively, with the Developer, the "Employers" and individually an "Employer") to agree, that until issuance of the Certificate with respect to Developer and during the period of any other party's provision of services in connection with the construction of the Project:
  1. 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 seg., 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.
  2. To the greatest extent feasible, each Employer is required to present opportunities for training and employment of low- and moderate-income residents of the City and preferably of the Redevelopment Area; and to provide that contracts for work in connection with the construction of the Project be awarded to business concerns that are located in, or owned in substantial part by persons residing in, the City and preferably in the Redevelopment Area.
  3. 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
 
32
 
 
 
EAST\48505452.6
 
 
ILCS 5/1-101 et seg,. (1993), and any subsequent amendments and ^gulations promulgated thereto.
  1. 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.
  2. 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 Park Property, so that each such provision shall be binding upon each contractor, subcontractor or Affiliate, as the case may be.
  3. 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. The Developer agrees for itself and its successors and assigns, and shall contractually obligate its General Contractor and shall cause the General Contractor to contractually obligate its subcontractors, as applicable, to agree, that during the construction of the Project they shall comply with the minimum percentage of total worker hours performed by actual residents of the City as specified in Section 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code of Chicago (at least 50 percent of the total worker hours worked by persons on the site of the Project shall be performed by actual residents of the City); provided, however, that in addition to complying with this percentage, the Developer, its General Contractor and each subcontractor shall be required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified residents of the City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions.
 
The Developer may request a reduction or waiver of this minimum percentage level of Chicagoans as provided for in Section 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code of Chicago in accordance with standards and procedures developed by the Chief Procurement Officer of the City.
"Actual residents of the City" shall mean persons domiciled within the City. The domicile is an individual's one and only true, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment.
 
The Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor shall provide for the maintenance of adequate employee residency records to show that actual Chicago residents are employed on the Project. Each Employer shall maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every Chicago employee's actual record of residence.
Weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) shall be submitted to the Commissioner of HED in triplicate, which shall identify clearly the actual residence of every employee on each submitted certified payroll. The first time that an
 
33
 
 
 
;EAST\48505452.6
 
 
employee's name appears on a payroll, the date that the Employer hired the employee should be written in after the employee's name.
The Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor shall provide full access to their employment records to the Chief Procurement Officer, the Commissioner of HED, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the Inspector General or any duly authorized representative of any of them. The Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor shall maintain all relevant personnel data and records for a period of at least three (3) years after final acceptance of the work constituting the Project.
At the direction of HED, affidavits and other supporting documentation will be required of the Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor to verify or clarify an employee's actual address when doubt or lack of clarity has arisen.
Good faith efforts on the part of the Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor to provide utilization of actual Chicago residents (but not sufficient for the granting of a waiver request as provided for in the standards and procedures developed by the Chief Procurement Officer) shall not suffice to replace the actual, verified achievement of the requirements of this Section concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
When work at the Project is completed, in the event that the City has determined that the Developer has failed to ensure the fulfillment of the requirement of this 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 the Developer to the City in payment for each percentage of shortfall toward the stipulated residency requirement. Failure to report the residency of employees entirely and correctly shall result in the surrender of the entire liquidated damages as if no Chicago residents were employed in either of the categories. The willful falsification of statements and the certification of payroll data may subject the Developer, the General Contractor and/or the subcontractors to prosecution. Any retainage to cover contract performance that may become due to the Developer pursuant to Section 2-92-250 of the Municipal Code of Chicago may be withheld by the City pending the Chief Procurement Officer's determination as to whether the Developer must surrender damages as provided in this paragraph.
Nothing herein provided shall be construed to be a limitation upon the "Notice of Requirements for Affirmative Action to Ensure Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246" and "Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246," or other affirmative action required for equal opportunity under the provisions of this Agreement or related documents.
The Developer shall cause or require the provisions of this Section 10.02 to be included in all construction contracts and subcontracts related to the Project.

    2. At least four percent by WBEs.

For purposes of this Section 10.03 only, the Developer (and any party to whom a contract is let by the Developer in connection with the Project) shall be deemed a "contractor" and this Agreement (and any contract let by the Developer in connection with the Project) shall be deemed a "contract" or a "construction contract" as such terms are defined in Sections 2-92-420 and 2-92-670, Municipal Code of Chicago, as applicable.
  2. 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 Project to one or more MBEs or WBEs, or by the purchase of materials or services used in the Project from one or more MBEs or WBEs, or by any combination of the foregoing.

SECTION 16 MORTGAGING OF THE PROJECT
 
All mortgages or deeds of trust in place as of the date hereof with respect to the Park Property and the Office 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) and are referred to herein as the "Existing Mortgages." Any mortgage or deed of trust that the Developer may hereafter elect to execute and record or permit to be recorded
 
44
 
 
EAST\48505452.6
 
 
against the Park Property and the Developer Property or any portion thereof is referred to herein as a "New Mortgage." Any New Mortgage that the Developer may hereafter elect to execute and record or permit to be recorded against the Park Property and the Office Property or any portion thereof that is subordinate to this Agreement, the Park DEM Agreement and the Park Easement, including any mortgage or deed of trust executed in connection with Lender Financing (as may be approved pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), is referred to herein as a "Permitted Mortgage." It is hereby agreed by and between the City and the Developer as follows:
 
(a)      In the event that a mortgagee or any other party shall succeed to the Developer's
interest in the Park Property and the Developer 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, and in conjunction therewith accepts an assignment of
the 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 the
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 shall succeed to the Developer's interest in the Park
Property and the Developer 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, in writing, an assignment of the 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 the Developer for all purposes under this
Agreement so long as such party accepts, in writing, all of the obligations and liabilities of "the
Developer" hereunder from and after the date upon which such Permitted Lender succeeds to the
Developer's interest; 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,
in writing, of the Developer's interest under this Agreement, such party has no liability under this
Agreement for any Event of Default of the Developer which accrued prior to the time such party
succeeded to the interest of the Developer under this Agreement, in which case the Developer
shall be solely responsible. However, if either such mortgagee under a Permitted Mortgage or an
Existing Mortgage does not expressly accept, in writing, an assignment of the 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)      No New Mortgage shall be executed with respect to the Park Property and the
Developer Property or any portion thereof without the prior written consent of the Commissioner
of DPD unless the holder of the New Mortgage executes a Subordination Agreement which
subordinates the lien of the mortgage to covenants that run with the Park Property and the
Developer Property and acknowledges that the Park DEM Agreement (including the Park
Easement) is in existence and is one of the covenants that run with the Park Property and
Developer Property.

No delay or omission on the part of a party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right unless pursuant to the specific terms hereof.

[To be negotiated and retyped on the 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      , an [Illinois]      (the
"Developer"), in connection with the purchase of certain land and the construction of certain
facilities thereon located in the      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":
 
(a)      Redevelopment Agreement (the "Agreement")
of even date herewith, executed by the Developer and the City of Chicago (the "City");
 
[(b) the Escrow Agreement of even date herewith executed by the Developer and the City;]
  1. [insert other documents including but not limited to documents related to purchase and financing of the Property and all lender financing related to the Project]; and
  2. all other agreements, instruments and documents executed in connection with the foregoing.
 
In addition to the foregoing, we have examined
  1. the original or certified, conformed or photostatic copies of the 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 the Developer is qualified to do business, (iii) By-Laws, as amended to date, and (iv) records of all corporate proceedings relating to the Project [revise if the Developer is not a corporation]; and
  2. such other documents, records and legal matters as we have deemed necessary or relevant for purposes of issuing the opinions hereinafter expressed.
 
J-1
 
 
 
 
EAST\48505452.6
 
 
In all such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of the Developer), the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals and conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies.
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
  1. The 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] under the laws of every state in which the conduct of its affairs or the ownership of its assets requires such qualification, except for those states in which its failure to qualify to do business would not have a material adverse effect on it or its business.
  2. The Developer has full right, power and authority to execute and deliver the Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. Such execution, delivery and performance will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the Developer's [Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws] [describe any formation documents if the 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 the Developer is a party or by which the Developer or its properties is bound. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, such execution, delivery and performance will not constitute grounds for acceleration of the maturity of any agreement, indenture, undertaking or other instrument to which the Developer is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien, charge or encumbrance on, or security interest in, any of its property pursuant to the provisions of any of the foregoing, other than liens or security interests in favor of the lender providing Lender Financing (as defined in the Agreement).
  3. The execution and delivery of each Document and the performance of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized and approved by all requisite action on the part of the Developer.
  4. Each of the Documents to which the Developer is a party has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the Developer, and each such Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Developer, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
  5. Exhibit A attached hereto (a) identifies each class of capital stock of the Developer, (b) sets forth the number of issued and authorized shares of each such class, and © identifies the record owners of shares of each class of capital stock of the 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
 
J-2
 
 
EAST\48505452.6
 
 
of purchase, conversion, call or exchange or other rights or restrictions with respect to any of the capital stock of the Developer. Each outstanding share of the capital stock of the Developer is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
  1. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, no judgments are outstanding against the Developer, nor is there now pending or threatened, any litigation, contested claim or governmental proceeding by or against the Developer or affecting the Developer or its property, or seeking to restrain or enjoin the performance by the Developer of the Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, or contesting the validity thereof. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, the Developer is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, government or regulatory authority or in default in any respect under any law, order, regulation or demand of any governmental agency or instrumentality, a default under which would have a material adverse effect on the Developer or its business.
  2. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, there is no default by the Developer or any other party under any material contract, lease, agreement, instrument or commitment to which the Developer is a party or by which the company or its properties is bound.
  3. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, all of the assets of the Developer are free and clear of mortgages, liens, pledges, security interests and encumbrances except for those specifically set forth in the Documents.
  4. The execution, delivery and performance of the Documents by the Developer have not and will not require the consent of any person or the giving of notice to, any exemption by, any registration, declaration or filing with or any taking of any other actions in respect of, any person, including without limitation any court, government or regulatory authority.
  5. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, the Developer owns or possesses or is licensed or otherwise has the right to use all licenses, permits and other governmental approvals and authorizations, operating authorities, certificates of public convenience, goods carriers permits, authorizations and other rights that are necessary for the operation of its. business.
  6. A federal or state court sitting in the State of Illinois and applying the choice of law provisions of the State of Illinois would enforce the choice of law contained in the Documents and apply the law of the State of Illinois to the transactions evidenced thereby.
 
We are attorneys admitted to practice in the State of Illinois and we express no opinion as to any laws other than federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of Illinois. [Note: include a reference to the laws of the state of incorporation/organization of the Developer, if other than Illinois.]

SECTION 3 GRANTS OF EASEMENTS
Developer hereby grants and conveys to the City an easement in perpetuity in and over the Park Parcel for public open space and public park purposes, as more fully described herein (the "Easement"), to have and to hold unto the City and the City's permitted successors and permitted assigns under Section 22 below. Such Easement shall be an exclusive easement, subject to Developer's reservations of rights in Section 4 hereof. If for a reason other than a default by Developer under the RDA or this Agreement, the City refuses to issue the RDA Certificate when all conditions to the issuance of such RDA Certificate have been satisfied, or fails to issue the City Note (as defined in the RDA) when the conditions to such issuance have been satisfied, or fails to make the first required payment on the City Note (and does not cure such first required payment within ninety (90) days of the required payment date), then the Easement shall be promptly fully and unconditionally released by the City without further City Council action and become null and void. Upon release, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, and the parties shall have no further obligations under this Agreement and the Developer shall have no further claim or remedy against the City under this Agreement If (a) the Developer or its permitted assignee under the RDA abandons the construction of the Park Improvements or is otherwise unable to complete the Park Improvements, and if (b) the City has not paid the Developer (or any other party entitled to payment) any City Funds, then the City and Developer shall mutually agree whether an amendment to, or release of, this Agreement and the Easement granted hereby, is appropriate. Such consideration, and any City approval to an amendment or release (if any), shall take into account the reasons for such abandonment or inability to complete construction, the likelihood of another party completing the Park Improvements, the extent to which such Park Improvements have been completed, the City's goal of providing the public with permanent and continued access to the riverfront, the status of work on the In-Fill Parcel and other relevant facts and circumstances at the time such consideration is given.
The City hereby grants and conveys to the Developer an encroachment easement during the term of this Agreement (i.e., in perpetuity, unless this Agreement is terminated) on and over the Overbuild Encroachment Area to allow the Developer to construct, maintain, operate and, if necessary, rebuild, the Encroaching Park Improvements as part of the overall Park Improvements (the "Encroachment Easement"), to have and to hold unto the Developer and the Developer's permitted successors and permitted assigns under Section 22 below. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, then the Encroachment Easement shall, at the City's election and direction to the Developer, be promptly fully and unconditionally released by the Developer and become null and void. In connection with such grant of the Encroachment Easement, no fees, grants of privilege or similar public way use charges shall be assessed against the Developer for such encroachment into the public way!

Such programmed activity shall not unreasonably interfere with the use, enjoyment or the operation of the improvements located on the Developer Parcel.
The Developer shall be permitted to use a portion of the Park Parcel on an Occasional Limited Basis (as defined in the next paragraph) for special functions and special programmed events as detailed herein; provided, however, such events: (a) shall not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of properties adjacent to the Park Parcel; (b) are related to activities of the owner(s) of the Developer Property, tenants or occupants of the Developer Property; and (c) are non-revenue generating for the such owner, tenants or occupants (unless such event is a fund-raising event, the funds of which are contributed to a not-for-profit corporation, tax-exempt entity, charitable foundation or similar entity or organization organized for charitable, educational or philanthropic purposes (such a permissible private event, "Permitted Special Event").

SECTION 7
CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS OF DEVELOPER
After the City's issuance of the RDA Certificate, the Developer shall comply with the covenants set forth in this Section 8, and the other provisions of this Agreement applicable to the continuing use of the Park and the maintenance, repair and replacement of the Park Improvements, all of which shall run with the Developer Parcel and the Park Parcel and shall be binding upon the Developer and the Developer's Successors and Assigns. Any such assignee or successor shall, at the time of such assignment or succession, execute a written acknowledgment in favor of the City acknowledging such party's obligations under this Agreement. The Developer, and Developer's Successors and Assigns, shall not be obligated under this Agreement to provide private security service or police protection in the Park.
A.      Maintenance of the Park
(1) On-Going Maintenance of the Park Improvements. Developer, at its sole cost and expense, shall: (a) maintain, repair and, if required, replace, the trees, plants, and vegetation (including annual and seasonal flower beds), the brick pavers, sidewalks, paving, fixtures, benches, fencing, furnishings, improvements and the sprinkler systems (including draining the sprinkler lines when and as appropriate) and all other Park Improvements, whether above ground or below ground; (b) provide light bulb replacement for all light fixtures located at the Park and pay for all utility costs associated with the Park; (c) provide trash pickup and disposal services for the daily use of the park and programming reasonably contemplated by this Agreement; and (d) remove snow and arrange for the removal of leaves, litter, debris and other waste materials (collectively "Ordinary Maintenance Obligations").

EAST\49089728.5
 
  1. Maintenance Reserve for the Park. At the time of the City's issuance of the RDA Certificate, the Developer shall fund an initial maintenance reserve in the amount of $250,000 to fund the performance of the Developer's obligations under this Agreement (together with any interest earned thereon, the "Maintenance Reserve"). Such account shall be named or otherwise identified as the "Park Maintenance Reserve Trust Account" or words of similar effect to identify the custodial nature of such account, but shall be under the Developer's control. No other funds shall be deposited into such account, nor shall any funds be withdrawn from such account except to pay for costs incurred pursuant to this Agreement. On or before January 15th and July 15th of each calendar year, the Developer shall submit to the City account statements reflecting the current balance of such trust account. This Agreement shall be recorded as an encumbrance against the Developer Parcel to secure the (a) establishment of the Maintenance Reserve, (b) replenishment of such Maintenance Reserve from time to time, and (c) performance of the maintenance obligations of the Developer under this Agreement, which, if not performed, and if instead performed by the City, shall give rise to a lien against the Developer Parcel, which lien may be enforced by the City and shall be in the amount of the cost of curing such default.
  2. Inspection Requirements. Every two years after the issuance of the RDA Certificate (or such other interval as may be agreed upon by the parties), Developer shall cause a licensed structural engineer to inspect the structural elements of the Park Improvements and prepare a written report summarizing the physical condition of such structural elements and, if applicable, setting forth any recommended maintenance, repair and/or replacement work. Developer shall also permit any applicable City departments charged with making structural inspections to inspect such structural elements. If City inspectors make findings that (A) the structural elements do not comply with applicable code requirements, or that (B) the condition of such structural elements otherwise poses a direct and immediate threat to public health and safety, the Developer shall remedy such code deficiencies and undertake such maintenance, repair and replacement work as may be necessary or appropriate to address the conditions that pose such a direct and immediate threat. Developer retains the right to challenge or dispute alleged code deficiencies, to the same extent as any other property owner.
  3. Notice to the Citv. Developer agrees to notify the City in writing of any injury to persons or property relating to the Park within seven (7) days of the date that the Developer becomes aware of such injury, and in the instance of an emergency, to notify the City immediately by telephone and email notice by contacting Mr. Robert Wolf, Department of Housing and Economic Development, City of Chicago, Room 1000, City Hall, Chicago, Illinois 60602 (Email: Robert.Wolf@cityofchicago.org), or such other person as the City shall designate to Developer in writing. Furthermore, Developer agrees to notify the City immediately in the method described in this paragraph in the event that it learns that the Park is being utilized by any of the public in violation of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, this Section 7.A.(4) shall not be construed to obligate the Developer to provide any private security for the use of the Park. Failure to notify the City (as provided for herein) shall not give rise to a claim for damages by the City against Developer.

SECTION 8 INSURANCE
  1. During the construction of the Park Improvements and term of the RDA and until issuance of the RDA Certificate, the Developer, its general contractor and any other required parties shall at all times satisfy the insurance requirements set forth in Section 12 of the RDA.
  2. After the issuance of the RDA Certificate, the Developer shall at all times thereafter continue to maintain (i) All Risk Property Insurance at replacement value of the Park Improvements to protect against loss of, damage to, or destruction, of the Park Improvements, with the City named as additional loss payee on such policy and including a railroad operations endorsement, and (ii) comprehensive general liability insurance (including any liability insurance carried under so called excess or "umbrella" policies) with respect to the Park Parcel in such amount as the Developer shall thereafter from time to time be required to carry with respect to the Office Project under the Permitted Mortgage(s) and the related security documents, and (iii) all such other insurance coverage(s) as the Developer is required to maintain under the Permitted Mortgage(s) and the related security documents. The Developer shall, on or before January 15th of each calendar year, provide the City with evidence of the then applicable insurance requirements of such Permitted Mortgage(s) and security documents and evidence of compliance with the foregoing requirements. All insurance proceeds shall be the property of Developer (subject to the rights of any mortgagee(s) under Permitted Mortgage(s)) and shall be applied for restoration of the Park to the extent such proceeds are necessary to repair any damage to or destruction of the Park Improvements.

The foregoing indemnity, defense and hold harmless obligation shall not be construed to require the Developer to indemnify such indemnitees where the Indemnified Costs arise out of the sole negligence and/or sole willful and wanton misconduct of one or more indemnitees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Indemnified Costs shall include any amounts payable by reason of the environmental condition of the Park Parcel. This indemnification shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

The individual or entity relying on this section with respect to any such delay shall, upon the occurrence of the event causing such delay, immediately give written notice to the other parties to this Agreement. The individual or entity relying on this section with respect to any such delay may rely on this section only to the extent of the actual number of days of delay effected by any such events described above.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event of a default by the Developer in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Developer, upon written notice from the City, shall cure or remedy the default not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice. If the default is not capable of being cured within the sixty (60) day period but the Developer has commenced action to cure the default and is diligently proceeding to cure the default within the sixty (60) day period, then the sixty (60) day period shall be extended for the length of time that is reasonably necessary to cure the default. If the default is not cured in the time period provided for herein, the City may institute such proceedings at law or in equity as may be necessary or desirable in its sole discretion to cure and remedy the default, including but not limited to, proceedings to compel specific performance.

  5. Developer suffers or permits any lien or encumbrance that is not a Permitted Encumbrance to attach to or encumber the Park Parcel; or
  6. Developer fails to comply with the terms of the RDA and such failure to comply is not cured in accordance with the RDA.

Such Permitted Lender shall have the same opportunities to cure any such default(s) as are afforded to Developer as afforded to Developer herein.
' E. Waiver and Estoppel. Any delay by the City in instituting or prosecuting any actions or proceedings or otherwise asserting its rights shall not operate as a waiver of such rights or operate to deprive the City of or limit such rights in any way.
