Tenant acknowledges that it 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 Landlord or its agents or employees with respect thereto. Tenant agrees that it is Tenant's sole responsibility and obligation to perform any environmental remediation work and take such other action as is necessary to put the Premises in a condition which is suitable for its intended use.

5.03 Alterations. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall have the right to make alterations to the Premises during the Term, provided such alterations comply with the TIF RDA and all applicable Laws pertaining to such alterations. To the extent Tenant's proposed alterations are structural alterations, Landlord shall have the right to approve the final renderings of such proposed structural alterations, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall indicate its approval of such proposed structural alterations, or its specific objections thereto, in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, failing which, such proposed structural alterations shall be deemed approved as so submitted. If Landlord provides specific objections to the proposed structural alterations, Tenant shall resubmit the alterations within thirty (30) days after Landlord's response, and Landlord shall indicate its approval of such proposed structural alterations, or its specific objections thereto, in writing within fifteen (15) days thereafter, failing which such proposed structural alterations shall be deemed approved as so submitted. This process shall continue until the proposed structural alterations are finally approved or deemed approved.

Tenant is and shall be in exclusive control and possession of the Premises as provided herein, and agrees to assume all risk of damage or loss to property and injury or death to persons by reason of or incident to the possession and/or use of the Premises, or the activities conducted by any Tenant Parties under this Lease. The Tenant Parties expressly waive all claims against the Landlord Parties (except claims arising from Landlord's gross negligence or intentional misconduct or a breach of Landlord's obligations under this Lease) for any such loss, damage, personal injury or death caused by or occurring as a consequence of such possession and/or use of the Premises or the conduct of activities under this Lease.

  5. which may be incurred by Landlord in enforcing any of the covenants, agreements, terms and conditions of this Lease (provided Landlord prevails in the enforcement proceeding).

SECTION 9. Utilities.
Tenant shall be responsible for all tap-in or hook-up fees for utility services to the Premises. Tenant shall pay when due all charges of every nature, kind or description for all utility services provided exclusively to the Premises, including, without limitation, all charges for water, gas, electricity, telephone, garbage and sewage services, directly to the utility service provider. Landlord shall not be liable for any interruption or failure in the supply or character of any such utility services.
SECTION 10. Use.
  1. Permitted Use. The Premises shall be used for the construction of the Project and the recreational benefit of the general public; provided that after a default under the Initial Approved Mortgage, the Tenant and any subtenants of the Tenant shall be able to charge individuals and/or organizations a fee for use of the Premises to be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of Tenant and/or its subtenants. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit in any respect the rent that may be charged at any time by the Tenant or any subtenants of the Tenant. [Further restrictions may be added to satisfy HUD and NMTC financing requirements.]

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may sublease the Premises to the Park District for operation of the Project. The Park District (and any other approved assignee, subtenant or licensee) shall comply with all of the terms of this Lease, including, but not limited to the use provisions set forth in Section 10. Any attempt by Tenant to transfer an interest in this Lease or the Premises, by document or other agreement or by operation of law in violation of the terms of this Lease, shall be void and confer no rights on any third party and shall, at the Landlord's option, constitute a default under this Lease. If the Landlord permits any assignment hereunder, the assignee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.  No assignment or sublease shall relieve Tenant of any of its obligations hereunder.

Landlord's approval pursuant to this Section 12.01 shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
12.02 Mortgage Liens. Tenant shall have the right to mortgage or otherwise encumber this Lease or the Improvements in connection with Tenant's financing of the Improvements as described below, and only as described below.
  1. Right to Encumber. Tenant shall have the right to encumber all of Tenant's right, title and interest in the Premises subject to the provisions of this Lease, pursuant to (i) that certain [Leasehold Mortgage With Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing] of even date herewith (the "Initial Approved Mortgage") entered into by Tenant for the benefit of TCB SUB-CDE VII, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company, IFF Capital VIII, LLC, an Illinois limited liability
company and CNMC Sub-CDE [      ], LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and their
respective successors, participants and assigns (collectively, the "Initial Approved Mortgagees", and each, an "Initial Approved Mortgagee"); and (ii) any subsequent mortgages granted by Tenant to subsequent lenders thereto , provided such mortgages are permitted under the terms of the TIF RDA (each such lender and each of the Initial Approved Mortgagees being an "Approved Mortgagee") to secure any refinancing or replacement of all or a portion of the Initial Approved Mortgage or other financing of Tenant (collectively with such Initial Approved Mortgage, "Approved Mortgages"). No Approved Mortgage shall extend to or affect any portion of Landlord's fee title interest. Except as provided in this Lease, any Approved Mortgage shall by its terms be made expressly subject and subordinate to all Landlord's rights under this Lease, and Landlord shall not be required to mortgage its fee estate in connection therewith, nor shall Landlord be required to join in the Approved Mortgage. Landlord shall not be bound to recognize any Approved Mortgagee unless such Approved Mortgagee or Tenant shall have notified Landlord of the existence of such Approved Mortgage and of the name and address of such Approved Mortgagee as further provided in this Section. It shall be a condition of Landlord's obligations under this Section 12.02 that the Approved Mortgagee agree to give Landlord a notice of any event of default by Tenant under the Approved Mortgage.
  1. Approved Mortgages. The documentation evidencing the Initial Approved Mortgage and the loans secured thereby is in a form acceptable to Landlord and Tenant. Landlord acknowledges that Initial Approved Mortgagees and Tenant may amend such documentation in the future and that no such amendment shall in any way diminish the effectiveness of the provisions of this Section 12.02. As used in this Section 12.02, the term "Leasehold Interest" means Tenant's interest in the Premises pursuant to this Lease. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to subject its interest in the Premises to an Approved Mortgage, and any Approved Mortgage shall be subject to the terms of this Lease. Each Approved Mortgage and Approved Mortgagee shall be subject to and shall have the benefit of this Lease. Promptly after granting an Approved Mortgage, Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord a written notice setting forth the name and address of the Approved Mortgagee, together with a true and complete copy of the Approved Mortgage. No Approved Mortgage shall be binding upon the Landlord in the enforcement of its rights and remedies under this Lease and by law, unless and until a copy thereof shall have been delivered to the Landlord.
  2. Approved Mortgage Not an Assignment. The making of an Approved Mortgage shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment or transfer of this Lease or of
 
 
9
 
 
the Leasehold Interest, nor shall an Approved Mortgagee be deemed to be an assignee or transferee of this Lease or of the Leasehold Interest so as to require the Approved Mortgagee to assume the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder, but the purchaser at any foreclosure of any Approved Mortgage, or the assignee or transferee under any assignment or transfer in lieu of the foreclosure, or purchaser or transferee following exercise of a power of sale shall be deemed to be an assignee or transferee within the meaning of this Section, and shall be deemed to have agreed (unless expressly set forth to the contrary in this Lease) to perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder from and after the date of such purchase and assignment or transfer, but only for so long as such purchaser or assignee or transferee is the owner of the Leasehold Interest.
 
(D) Rights of Approved Mortgagee. In connection with each Approved Mortgage, Landlord agrees with and for the benefit of each Approved Mortgagee as follows:
 
(i) When delivering any notice, demand, election or other communication (any of the same being referred to in this Section as a "Default Notice") to Tenant with respect to any default under this Lease or any exercise of any right to terminate this Lease, the Landlord will also deliver a copy of any such Default Notice by registered or certified mail, or commercial courier service, to each Initial Approved Mortgagee and to any other Approved Mortgagee at the addresses furnished to Landlord. No such notice to Tenant shall be deemed to affect any rights of the Approved Mortgagee or to commence the running, as against the Approved Mortgagee, of any time period to cure unless and until such notice is given in said manner to the Approved Mortgagee. Landlord acknowledges that it has notice of the Initial Approved Mortgagees and that their addresses for notices are set forth below:

Should Tenant default in respect of any of the provisions of this Lease, an Approved Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such default, and Landlord shall accept performance by or on behalf of the Approved Mortgagee as though, and with the same effect as if, it had been done or performed by Tenant. For such purpose, Landlord and Tenant hereby authorize Approved Mortgagees to enter upon the Premises and to exercise any of Tenant's rights and powers under this Lease, and subject to the provisions of this Lease, under the applicable Approved Mortgage. Upon compliance with the foregoing, any Default Notice shall be deemed rescinded and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
 
The Approved Mortgagee will have a period of time after the service upon it of any Default Notice within which to cure the default specified in such notice, or cause it to be cured, which is the same period for cure allowed to Tenant under Section 18.02 hereof, plus an additional period of 30 days ("Approved Mortgagee's Cure Period"). If the default cannot reasonably be cured by the Approved Mortgagee within that period because of Tenant's ownership of the Leasehold Interest or possession of the Premises, Landlord shall forebear from exercising its rights to terminate the Lease as against the Approved Mortgagee (while reserving all rights against Tenant) on account of such default, provided that the
 
 
11
 
 
Approved Mortgagee (1) has cured all payment defaults and all other defaults which can reasonably be cured by the Approved Mortgagee without obtaining ownership of the Leasehold Interest or possession of the Premises, as the case may be, within the period of time allotted for cure, (2) within Approved Mortgagee's Cure Period has given written notice to Landlord of its intent to cure all other defaults, which notice shall specify the proceedings (including, but not limited to, foreclosure sale, receivership, or other actions) by which the Approved Mortgagee or any assignee, successor or designee thereof intends to secure possession of the Premises or ownership of the Leasehold Interest, and shall contain an assumption by the Approved Mortgagee or such assignee, successor or designee thereof of all of Tenant's obligations hereunder during the period of Landlord's forbearance, including, without limitation, the payment of all charges which then become due, (3) has begun proceedings to secure such possession or ownership within the Approved Mortgagee's Cure Period, and (4) thereafter prosecutes such proceedings with reasonable diligence.
 
Provided the Approved Mortgagee has complied with subsection (iii) of this Section 12.02(D), any default by Tenant under any provision of this Lease which is not reasonably susceptible of being cured by the Approved Mortgagee during the cure period specified in subsection (ii) of this Section 12.02(D) shall be cured by the Approved Mortgagee (or its designee or nominee) or by any other purchasers or transferees of Tenant's interest under this Lease, whether at judicial foreclosure, trustee's sale or by an assignment of the Lease in lieu of foreclosure, within 10 days after acquisition for payment defaults, and within 30 days (or such longer period of time as is reasonably required under the circumstances) after acquisition for all non-payment defaults. It is agreed that payment of rent and other charges to be paid pursuant to this Lease are reasonably susceptible of being cured by the Approved Mortgagee.
 
Provided the Approved Mortgagee has complied with subsection (iii) of this Section 12.02(D), Landlord's consent shall not be required for an Approved Mortgagee or any nominee, assignee or other party designated by an Approved Mortgagee to become the owner of the Leasehold Interest upon the exercise of any remedy provided for in an Approved Mortgage (or upon the assignment of the Leasehold Interest in lieu of the exercise of any such remedy). If an Approved Mortgagee or any party designated by an Approved Mortgagee shall become the owner of the Leasehold Interest upon the exercise of any remedy provided for in an Approved Mortgage, then the Approved Mortgagee or such person or other entity (A) shall be liable for all obligations under the Lease accruing thereafter to the same extent as Tenant would have been, subject to subsection (ix) below, and shall cure all continuing defaults of Tenant as set forth in subsection (iii) above, but subject to subsection (iv) above, (B) shall have the right to assign to any other person the Leasehold Interest without Landlord's consent at any time thereafter, provided such assignee expressly assumes the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and (C) shall have the right to sublet all or a portion of the Premises, without Landlord's
 
 
 
12
 
 
consent, for use consistent with the permitted use provisions of this Lease.
Provided the Approved Mortgagee has complied with subsection (iii) of this Section 12.02(D), if this Lease shall terminate for any reason including, but not limited to, a default under the Lease, or be rejected or disaffirmed pursuant to any bankruptcy law or any other law affecting creditors' rights, any Approved Mortgagee or its nominee or assignee shall have the right, and Landlord the corresponding obligation, exercisable by written notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days after such Approved Mortgagee receives notice of the effective date of such termination, to enter into a new lease of the Premises with Landlord subject, however, to the rights of subtenants under any applicable non-disturbance agreements. The term of said new lease shall begin on the date of the termination of this Lease and shall continue for the remainder of the full term of this Lease. Such new lease executed by the Approved Mortgagee or its nominee or assignee shall otherwise contain the same terms and conditions as those set forth herein, except for requirements that have already expired or been performed, and except for prior obligations of Tenant which are not curable as provided herein and which remain unperformed or unsatisfied; provided, however, the new Tenant thereunder shall cure within the applicable cure periods set forth above in this Section any existing defaults, or defaults which existed as of the termination of the Lease with Tenant, which are capable of being cured. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such new lease shall have the same priority relative to other rights or interests to or in the fee estate in the land covered by the new lease as this Lease. The provisions of this Subsection (vi) shall survive the termination (but not the expiration) of this Lease and shall continue in full force and effect thereunder to the same extent as if this Subsection (vi) were a separate and independent contract among Landlord, Tenant and each Approved Mortgagee. From the date on which any Approved Mortgagee shall serve upon Landlord the aforesaid notice of the exercise of its right to a new lease, and subject to the obligation to cure defaults as provided above, a new lease shall be deemed to have been entered into effective as of the date of termination of this Lease and such Approved Mortgagee or its nominee or assignee may use and enjoy the Premises as permitted under this Lease without hindrance or interference by Landlord. At Landlord's or the Approved Mortgagee's request, the parties shall enter into an additional agreement with Landlord confirmatory of the provision of this Subsection (vi).
 
Landlord shall not, in the event of any action, whether voluntary or otherwise, pending against Tenant or Landlord under the bankruptcy laws of the United States or any state thereof, (x) surrender its estate, or any portion thereof, nor terminate, cancel or acquiesce in the rejection of this Lease; or (y) modify, change, supplement, alter or amend this Lease in any respect, either orally or in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that in the event of the rejection of this Lease by Landlord's trustee in bankruptcy or otherwise pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other similar laws, Tenant's right to remain in
 
13
 
 
possession of the Premises pursuant to Section 365 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code (or similar provisions of such other similar laws) shall be fully transferable pursuant to the terms of any Approved Mortgage.
  1. No surrender (except a surrender upon the expiration of the term of this Lease) by Tenant to Landlord of this Lease, or of the Premises or any part thereof, or of any interest therein, may occur except as with the consent of each Approved Mortgagee.
  2. In the event that an Approved Mortgagee or its nominee succeeds to Tenant's interest in this Lease, Landlord agrees to look solely to such interest in the Lease and to the improvements upon the Premises and to the profits and proceeds thereof for the performance of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and shall never seek to recover against any other assets of the Approved Mortgagee or such nominee, and following the Approved Mortgagee's or nominee's assignment of any interest in the Lease, the Approved Mortgagee (or such nominee, as applicable) shall have no further liability to Landlord or any other party in connection with the Lease or the Premises.
  3. For the avoidance of doubt, each Approved Mortgagee is an express third party beneficiary of this Section 12.02 of the Lease and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions hereof against Tenant and Landlord and their respective successors and assigns.
  1. Requirements for Notice. Any notice or other communication which Landlord shall desire or is required to give to or serve upon an Approved Mortgagee shall be in writing and shall be served by registered or certified mail, or commercial courier service, addressed to such Approved Mortgagee at its address as referenced in Section 12.02(D)(i) of this Lease, or at such other address as shall be designated from time to time by the Approved Mortgagee by notice given to Landlord in the manner required hereunder. Any notice or other communication which an Approved Mortgagee shall desire or is required to give to or serve upon Landlord shall be in writing and shall be served by registered or certified mail, or commercial courier service, addressed to Landlord at Landlord's address as set forth in Section 22 of this Lease, or at such other address as shall be designated from time to time by Landlord by notice given to such Approved Mortgagee in the manner required hereunder. Any such notice or communication shall be effective on the date such notice or communication is delivered to the party to whom it is given.
  2. No Modification without Approved Mortgagee's Consent. Except as otherwise expressly permitted herein, Landlord will not modify or amend or, except upon default (after affording each Approved Mortgagee the notice of and opportunity to cure such default as provided in this Section), cancel, surrender or terminate this Lease without the consent of each Approved Mortgagee. Any such modification, amendment, cancellation, surrender, or termination without the consent of each Approved Mortgagee (if such consent shall be required) shall be void and of no force or effect.
  3. Approved Mortgagee's Consent or Approval. Whenever any Approved Mortgagee's consent or approval is required hereunder, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be given or withheld (with the reasons for
 
14
 
 
withholding the same specified in writing) within ten (10) business days after such Approved Mortgagee receives the written request for such consent or approval.
 
(H) Rights As Among Approved Mortgagees. In any case in which there shall be more than one Approved Mortgage, each Approved Mortgagee shall be entitled to the benefit of the provisions of this Section; provided, that (a) any actions or elections permitted to be taken or made hereunder shall be determined and exercised by the Approved Mortgagee whose Approved Mortgage is most senior in priority (unless otherwise directed in writing by such senior Approved Mortgagee), and (b) the time periods in this Section for any action or response by an Approved Mortgagee shall run concurrently for all Approved Mortgagees.

  5. the appointment of a receiver or trustee for Tenant, for any substantial part of Tenant's assets or the institution of any proceedings for the dissolution, or the full or partial liquidation, or the merger or consolidation, of Tenant; provided, however, that if such appointment or commencement of proceedings is involuntary, such action shall not constitute an Event of Default unless such appointment is not revoked or such proceedings are not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the commencement thereof;

  2. Remedies. Subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of Section 12.02 of this Lease, if an Event of Default occurs, and is not cured in the time period provided for in Section 18.02 above, the Landlord, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it at law or in equity, shall have the right to terminate this Lease.

No waiver by the Landlord of any default of any of the covenants of this Lease shall be construed, taken or held to be a waiver of any other default, or as a waiver, acquiescence in or consent to any further or succeeding default of the same covenant. The acceptance by the Landlord of any payment of Rent or other sums due hereunder after the termination by the Landlord of this Lease, or of Tenant's right to possession hereunder, shall not, in the absence of agreement in writing to the contrary by the Landlord, be deemed to restore this Lease or Tenant's rights hereunder, as the case may be, but shall be construed as a payment on account, and not in satisfaction of damages due from Tenant to the Landlord.
  3. Landlord's Right to Cure. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, cure at any time, with prior written notice of at least thirty (30) days (except in an emergency), any failure by Tenant to perform under this Lease and whenever Landlord so elects, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in curing such failure, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand.

Nothing herein shall imply any duty upon the part of Landlord to do any such work, and performance thereof by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default in failing to perform the same.
SECTION 19. Default by Landlord.
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Landlord: (i) Landlord's failure to do, observe, keep and perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements or provisions of this Lease required to be done, observed, kept or performed by Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord of said failure (except when the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed in default if it commences performance within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion); or (ii) the failure of any representation or warranty to be true when deemed given hereunder which adversely affects Tenant's rights hereunder.
 
20
 
 
SECTION 20. Estoppel Certificates.
Upon the request of Landlord or Tenant (as applicable, the "Requesting Party"), the other party (the "Certifying Party") shall acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party, within thirty (30) days after written request by the Requesting Party, a certificate certifying (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and stating the modifications), (b) the dates, if any, to which Rent and other sums payable hereunder have been paid, (c) that no notice has been received by the Certifying Party of any default by the Requesting Party which has not been cured, except as to defaults specified in said certificate, and (d) such other information as the Requesting Party may reasonably request and as reasonably agreed to by the Certifying Party, which in any event may contain knowledge qualifiers and other caveats as the Certifying Party may deem appropriate. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and intend that any such estoppel certificate requested or provided hereunder may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, mortgagee, assignee, or sublessee or the Requesting Party.
SECTION 21. Quiet Enjoyment.
So long as Tenant is not in default beyond the applicable cure period, Landlord covenants that Tenant shall at all times during the Term have the peaceable and quiet enjoyment of the Premises.
SECTION 22. Notices.
Whenever a provision is made under this Lease for any demand, notice or declaration of any kind, or where it is deemed desirable or necessary by either party to give or serve any such notice, demand or declaration to the other party, it shall be in writing and either served personally or sent by United States mail, certified, postage prepaid, or by pre-paid nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the addresses set forth below or to such address as either party may advise the other from time to time.

Tenant represent and warrant that no agent, official or employee of the City shall have any personal interest, direct or indirect, in Tenant, its Affiliates, this Lease, the Premises or the Project, nor shall any such agent, official or employee participate in any decision relating to this Lease which affects his or her personal interests or the interests of any corporation, partnership, association or other entity in which he or she is directly or indirectly interested. No agent, official or employee of the City shall be personally liable to Tenant, its Affiliates, 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 Tenant, its Affiliates, or any successor in interest or with respect to any commitment or obligation of the City under the terms of this Lease.
  1. DEVELOPER'S EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS.
 
2.1 Employment Opportunity. Tenant agrees, and shall contractually obligate its various contractors, subcontractors and any Affiliate of Tenant operating on the Premises (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:
  1. Neither Tenant nor any 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, Section 2-160-010 et seq of the Municipal Code, as amended from time to time (the "Human Rights Ordinance"). Tenant 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. Tenant 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, Tenant 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, Tenant and each Employer shall (i) present opportunities for training and employment of low and moderate income residents of the City, and (ii) 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. Tenant 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
 
 
 
34
 
 
ILCS 5/1-101 et seq. (1993), both as amended from time to time, and any regulations promulgated thereunder.
  1. Tenant, in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this Section 2.1, 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.
  2. Tenant 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 Premises, 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 2.1 shall be a basis for the City to pursue remedies against Tenant under the provisions of Section 18 of the Lease.
 
2.2     City Resident Employment Requirement.
  1. Tenant agrees, and shall contractually obligate each Employer to agree, that during the construction of the Project, Tenant 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 (at least fifty percent); provided, however, that in addition to complying with this percentage, Tenant 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. Tenant 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 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. Tenant 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. Tenant and the Employers shall maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every Chicago employee's actual record of residence.

35
 
  1. Tenant and the Employers shall provide full access to their employment records to the chief procurement officer, DPD, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the inspector general, or any duly authorized representative thereof.

  2. At the direction of DPD, Tenant 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.
  3. Good faith efforts on the part of Tenant 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 2.2 concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
 
(i)      If the City determines that Tenant or an Employer failed to ensure the
fulfillment of the requirements of this Section 2.2 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 2.2. If such
non-compliance is not remedied in accordance with the breach and cure provisions of
Section 18 of the Lease, the parties agree that 1/20 of 1 percent (.05%) of the aggregate
hard construction costs set forth in the approved budget for the Project shall be
surrendered by Tenant 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 Tenant 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 Lease.

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