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; and (d) the termination of existing water or other services.

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, 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.

10.5   Survival. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the Closing.
 
SECTION 11.  LIMITED APPLICABILITY.
 
DHED's approval of the Drawings are for the purposes of this Agreement only and do not constitute the approval required by the City's Department of Buildings ("DOB") or any other City department; nor does the approval by DHED pursuant to this Agreement constitute an approval of the quality, structural soundness or the safety of any improvements located or to be located on the Property. The approval given by DHED shall be only for the benefit of the Developer and any lienholder authorized by this Agreement.
 
SECTION 12.  COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION OF PROJECT.
 
The Developer shall commence construction of the Project no later than April 1, 2013, and shall complete the Project (as evidenced by the issuance of a Certificate of Completion) no later than October 1, 2013. The Developer shall give written notice to the City within five (5) days after it commences construction. The Developer shall construct the Project in accordance with the Working Drawings and Specifications, and all Laws and covenants and restrictions of record.
 
SECTION 13.  CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION.
 
The Developer shall request from the City a certificate of completion ("Certificate of Completion") upon the completion of the Project in accordance with this Agreement. Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a written request by the Developer for a Certificate of Completion, 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 conformity with this Agreement, or is otherwise in default, and what measures or acts will be 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. Upon 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.
 
 
8
 
  1. 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.
  2. Shall use and operate Property solely as parking in perpetuity.
  3. Shall in no instance use the Property for any inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization.
 
SECTION 15.  PROHIBITION AGAINST SALE OR TRANSFER OF PROPERTY.
 
Prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion for the Project, 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. The Developer acknowledges and agrees that DHED may withhold its consent under (a) or (b) above 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. If the Developer is a business entity, no principal party of the Developer (e.g., a general partner, member, manager or shareholder) may sell, transfer or assign any of its interest in the entity prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion to anyone other than another principal party, without the prior written consent of DHED, which consent shall be in DHED's sole discretion. The Developer must disclose the identity of all limited partners to the City at the time such limited partners 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.
 
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 any mortgage approved pursuant to Section 9.2.
 
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, execute and record a Subordination Agreement (as defined in Section 9.8). 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
9
 
 
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 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) and Section 16 (Limitation Upon Encumbrance of Property) 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 covenant contained in Section 14 shall run in perpetuity.
SECTION 19.  PERFORMANCE AND BREACH.
  1. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the Developer's performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
  2. 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 requests an extension in writing within twenty (20) days after the beginning of any such delay.
 
19.3. 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).
 
19.4 Event of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement:
  1. The Developer makes or furnishes a warranty, representation, statement or certification to the City (whether in this Agreement, an Economic Disclosure Statement, or another document) that is not true and correct.
  2. 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.
10
 
  1. 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.
  2. The Developer fails to pay real estate taxes or assessments affecting the Property or any part thereof 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.
  3. The Developer makes an assignment, pledge, unpermitted financing, encumbrance, transfer or other disposition in violation of this Agreement.
  4. There is a material and adverse change in the Developer's financial condition or operations.
  5. The Developer fails to close by the Outside Closing Date, unless DHED, in its sole discretion, extends the Outside Closing Date.
  6. The Developer fails to perform, keep or observe any of the other covenants, conditions, promises, agreements or obligations under this Agreement or any other written agreement entered into with the City with respect to the Project.
  1. Prior to Closing. If an Event of Default occurs prior to the Closing, and the default is not cured in the time period provided for in Section 19.3 above, the City may terminate this Agreement, institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity against the Developer, and retain the Earnest Money and Performance Deposit as liquidated damages.
  2. After Closing. If an Event of Default occurs after the Closing but prior to the issuance of the 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 and exercise any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the 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 (the "Right of Reverter"); provided, however, the City's Right of Reverter shall be limited by, and shall not defeat, render invalid, or limit in any way, the lien of any mortgage authorized by this Agreement.
  3. 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 first mortgage lien, to a qualified and financially responsible party reasonably acceptable to the first mortgagee, 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.
  4. 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
 
 
11
 
 
mortgage liens authorized by this Agreement in order of lien priority, shall be utilized to reimburse the City for:
  1. 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
  2. all unpaid taxes, assessments, and water and sewer charges assessed against the Property; and
  3. 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
  4. any expenditures made or obligations incurred with respect to construction or maintenance of the Project; and
  5. any other amounts owed to the City by the Developer.
 
The Developer shall be entitled to receive any remaining proceeds up to the amount of the Developer's equity investment in the Property.

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.

management of the Project; (c) any misrepresentation or omission made by the Developer or any Agent; (d) the failure of the Developer to redress any misrepresentations or omissions in this Agreement or any other agreement relating hereto; and (e) any activity undertaken by the Developer or any Agent on the Property prior to or after the Closing. This indemnification shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement (regardless of the reason for such termination).
 
SECTION 22.  INSPECTION; CONDITION OF PROPERTY AT CLOSING.
  1. "As Is" Sale. The City makes no covenant, representation or warranty, express or implied, of any kind, as to the structural, physical or environmental condition of the Property or the suitability of the Property for any purpose whatsoever, and the Developer agrees to accept the property in its "as is," "where is" and "with all faults" condition.
  2. Right of Entry.
    1. The Developer's obligations hereunder are conditioned upon the Developer being satisfied with the condition of the Property for the construction, development and operation of the Project. Upon the Developer's request, the City shall grant the Developer the right, at its sole cost and expense, to enter the Property for a period of thirty (30) days (the "Inspection Period") pursuant to a Right of Entry Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the City to inspect the same, perform surveys, environmental assessments, soil and any other due diligence it deems necessary or desirable to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Property.
    2. If the Developer determines that it is not satisfied, in its sole discretion, with the condition of the Property, the Developer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the City within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Inspection Period, whereupon the City shall return the Earnest Money and Performance Deposit to the Developer and this Agreement shall be null and void and, except as otherwise specifically provided, neither party shall have any further right, duty or obligation hereunder. If the Developer elects not to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 22.2, the Developer shall be deemed satisfied with the condition of the Property.
  1. Indemnity. The Developer hereby waives and releases, and indemnifies the City from and against, any claims and liabilities relating to or arising from the structural, physical or environmental condition of the Property, including, without limitation, claims arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"), and shall undertake and discharge all liabilities of the City arising from any structural, physical or environmental condition that existed on the Property prior to the Closing, including, without limitation, liabilities arising under CERCLA. The Developer hereby acknowledges that, in purchasing the Property, the Developer is relying solely upon its own inspection and other due diligence activities and not upon any information (including, without limitation, environmental studies or reports of any kind) provided by or on behalf of the City or its agents or employees with respect thereto. The Developer shall perform such studies and investigations, conduct such tests and surveys, and engage such specialists as the Developer deems appropriate to evaluate fairly the structural, physical and environmental condition and risks of the Property. If, after the Closing, the structural, physical and environmental condition
13
 
 
of the Property is not in all respects entirely suitable for its intended use, it shall be the Developer's sole responsibility and obligation to take such action as is necessary to put the Property in a condition which is suitable for its intended use. The provisions of this Section 22.3 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 or occupation of the Property:
  1. 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 seq. 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 solicitations or advertisements for employees, shall state that all qualified applicants shall receive consideration for employment without discrimination based upon the foregoing grounds.
  2. 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 substantial part by persons residing in, the City.
  3. 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.
  4. The Developer, in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this Section 23.1, 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.
14
 
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. "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.
  4. 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.
  5. The Developer and the Employers shall submit weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) to the City's Department of Housing ("DOH") 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.
  6. The Developer and the Employers shall provide full access to their employment records to the chief procurement officer, DOH, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the inspector general, or any duly authorized representative
15
 
 
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.
  1. At the direction of DOH, 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.
  2. 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 Budget 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. 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:
 
(a) Consistent with the findings which support, as applicable, (i) the Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program, Section 2-92-420 et s_r_., Municipal Code of Chicago (the "Procurement Program"), and (ii) the
16
 
 
Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Construction Program, Section 2-92-650 et s_r_., 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 24% of the aggregate hard construction costs shall be expended for contract participation by minority-owned businesses and at least 4% of the aggregate hard construction costs shall be expended for contract participation by women-owned businesses.
  1. For purposes of this Section 23.3 only:
    1. 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. 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.
    3. 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.
  1. 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,
 
17
 
 
Municipal Code of Chicago, the Developer shall not substitute any MBE or WBE general contractor or subcontractor without the prior written approval of DOH.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
 
23.4 Pre-Construction Conference and Post-Closing Compliance Requirements. Not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the Closing Date, the Developer and the Developer's general contractor and all major subcontractors shall meet with DOH monitoring staff regarding compliance with all Section 23 requirements.

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
18
 
 
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 to the Developer or the general contractor, or (z) seek any other remedies against the Developer available at law or in equity.

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.
 
SECTION 38. WASTE ORDINANCE PROVISIONS.
 
In accordance with Section 11-4-1600(e) of the Municipal Code of Chicago, Developer warrants and represents that it, and to the best of its knowledge, its contractors and subcontractors, have not violated and are not in violation of any provisions of Section 7-28 or Section 11-4 of the Municipal Code (the "Waste Sections"). During the period while this Amendment is executory, Developer's, any general contractor's or any subcontractor's violation of the Waste Sections, whether or not relating to the performance of this Agreement, constitutes a breach of and an event of default under this Agreement, for which the opportunity to cure, if curable, will be granted only at the sole designation of the Chief Procurement Officer.

and executive orders, in effect now or later, and whether or not they appear in this Amendment. Non-compliance with these terms and conditions may be used by the City as grounds for the termination of this Amendment, and may further affect Developer's eligibility for future contract awards.
 
SECTION 39.      SHAKMAN ACCORD
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  1. 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.
  2. In the event of any communication to Developer by a City employee or City official in violation of Section 39(ii) above, or advocating a violation of Section 39(iii) above, Developer will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, report such communication to the Hiring Oversight Section of the City's Office of the Inspector General ("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.
