CO\C!'SS!0\ I i •>! A(.Ri lYii \ I AIRPOR'I PI A/A
permitted to charge the public for, with the exception of fuel. Any changes to Exhibit 5 are subject to the Commissioner's and Tenant's prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon such mutual approval, Exhibit 5 may be amended without need for formal amendment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.3.
4.4 General Requirements for Operation of Concessions. Tenant has the authority to manage and administer the Concession in the Leased Space, subject to the rights ofthe City under the law, in equity, and under this Agreement to direct Tenant in order to ensure that the Airport operates in the most effective and efficient way possible and to surpervise Tenant's performance. Tenant covenants to take all commercially reasonable measures to maintain, develop, facilitate and increase the business of the Concession so as to maximize Gross Revenues. Tenant further covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate of Tenant will divert or cause or allow to be diverted any business from the Leased Space to other locations not at the Airport that are operated by Tenant or any Affiliate of Tenant. A material condition of this Agreement is that Tenant must operate the Concession operations in accordance with the following general requirements:
  1. Unless otherwise approved by the Commissioner in writing, Tenant must conduct business only in the Tenant's trade name.
  2. Tenant must conduct its Concession operations in a first-class, businesslike, efficient, courteous, and accommodating manner. The Commissioner has the right to make reasonable objections to the appearance and condition of the Leased Space. Tenant must discontinue or remedy any non-compliant practice, appearance or condition within ten days following receipt of a written notice by the Commissioner (or immediately upon receipt of such a notice if the Commissioner deems non-compliance hazardous or illegal). Tenant's failure to timely cure the non-compliance as required by the Commissioner would cause the City damages including, among other things, loss of goodwill that would be difficult or impossible to prove or quantify. Accordingly, if Tenant fails to timely cure non-compliance, then, in addition to all other remedies the City may have at law, in equity or under this Agreement, and beginning on the first day after expiry ofthe ten-day cure period, Tenant must pay the City, as liquidated damages in connection with the loss of good will among visitors to the Leased Space, and not as a penalty, the amount of $200 per day for each day in which there is a non-compliant practice, appearance or condition specified in the notice that remains uncured after the cure period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to pay liquidated damages if Tenant is unable to cure the noncompliance due to an act or omission of the City.
  1. Tenant must neither commit nor allow any nuisance, noise or waste in the Leased Space or annoy, disturb or be offensive to other Airport users.
  2. Tenant must at all times accept as suitable payment any of at least three nationally recognized credit cards, such as but not limited to American Express, Visa, MasterCard and Discover. Tenant must offer a receipt with each purchase.
F.      Tenant must not place or install any racks, stands, or trade fixtures directly on or over
15
 
 
CONCESSION I i AM AORI'i Mi \ I AIRPOR'I PI A/A
the boundaries of its Leased Space. Tenant must not use any space outside the Leased Space for sale, storage or any other undertaking.
G. In its capacity as Tenant under this Agreement, and not as an agent of the City, Tenant must manage the Concession operations and the Leased Space in accordance with this Agreement, in furtherance of which Tenant must, among other things:
  1. use reasonable efforts to remedy problems and issues raised by Airport patrons with respect to the operation ofthe Leased Space;
  2. answer in writing all written customer complaints within 5 calendar days after receipt, furnishing a copy of the complaint and the answer to the Commissioner within that period; and,
  3. furnish the Commissioner within 5 calendar days after their receipt copies of all written notices received by Tenant from any governmental authority or any subtenant with respect to any part of the Leased Space or any Subcontract.
If Tenant fails to timely respond to customer correspondence or governmental notices and furnish the requisite copies to the Commissioner, it is an Event of Default. Tenant acknowledges that the City may suffer loss of goodwill and other harm the value of which is difficult to determine, and thus, in addition to any remedies for the Event of Default , the Commissioner will assess as liquidated damages against Tenant, and not as a penalty: (A) an amount of $200 per day (up to a maximum of 90 days) for each day after the initial 5 calendar ;days until Tenant responds to the customer complaint or governmental notice and (B) if Tenant fails to provide the requisite copies to the Commissioner, $100 per day (up to a maximum-of 60 days) until the Tenant provides the Commissioner with the copies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to pay liquidated damages if Tenant is unable to respond to customer correspondence or governmental notices and furnish the requisite copies to the Commissioner in a timely manner due to an act or omission of the City.
4.5     Hours of Operation.
  1. Except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, Tenant must begin conducting its Concession operations on the Date of Beneficial Occupancy and continue them uninterrupted after that date during all hours of operation set forth in the approved Development Plan; provided that if Tenant decides it would be prudent to change the hours of operation. Tenant may request approval of a change in operating hours and the City will not unreasonably refuse to grant such approval.
  2. Except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, if Tenant fails to operate its Concession during all times that Tenant is required to do so under this Agreement (apart from temporary closings in connection with maintenance, repair, renovation, inventories, or other temporary closings in the normal course of business) and the failure continues for more than five days after the City gives Tenant notice, it is an Event of Default. In addition, Tenant acknowledges that failure to provide Concession services to the public would cause the City damages, a portion of
16
 
 
CO\(TSSIO\ l.i \M AGRi'l Ml \i A1RPOR I PLAZA
which may be ascertainable but another portion of which, related to loss of goodwill due to the public's inability to fuel their vehicles, the provision of which is one of the key purposes of this Agreement, might be difficult or impossible to prove or quantify. Accordingly, in addition to other remedies available to the City for an Event of Default, Tenant must pay the City as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) in connection with such loss of goodwill the lesser of $50 per hour or $500 per day, beginning as of the time that the City first notifies Tenant in writing that it is not operating the Concession in accordance with the time requirements of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to pay liquidated damages due to loss of goodwill as specified in this Section 4.5 if such loss of goodwill is caused by an act or omission of the City. The obligation to make payments of liquidated damages will continue until the earliest of: (i) the time that the Concession rc-opens for business; (ii) the date that this Agreement expires or is terminated; and (iii) the date that the Commissioner receives possession of the Leased Space.

In such an event:
  1. The Commissioner will notify Tenant in writing within a reasonable period of time prior to the relocation of all or part of the Leased Space. Such notice will be not less than 180 days in advance of the relocation but, in any event, notice is not required more than 270 days in advance.

For each portion ofthe Leased Space, within 60 days after the latest of occur of: 1) the Delivery Date of said portion ofthe Leased Space, 2) the date Tenant has obtained applicable building permits for said portion of the Leased Space, and 3) the date of commencement of construction set forth in the Development Plan, Tenant must begin construction of the Improvements under and consistent with the approved Construction Documents, in a diligent, first-class and workmanlike manner. Commissioner may require Tenant and its Subcontractors to meet with the Department's construction manager and Concessions Management Representative prior to starting construction. Among other requirements as are imposed under applicable law or otherwise in this Agreement, the Improvements:
  1. Must conform with all architectural, fire, safety, zoning and electrical codes and all federal, State, City and other local laws, regulations and ordinances pertaining to them, including the ADA, and all Airport standards, procedures and regulations.
  2. Except as provided in Section 5.4.L of this Agreement be free and clear of any mechanics' or materialmen's liens or similar liens or encumbrances.
  3. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, must be completed entirely at Tenant's cost and expense and in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement including, but not limited to, the requirements and procedures set forth in the TDCPM. ;
  4. Upon the request of the Commissioner, Tenant must purchase and install a security camera and connect the camera feed into a junction box at a location to be determined by the Commissioner. Tenant will permit the Commissioner to connect the security camera to the Airport security system.
Approval of the Construction Documents by the Commissioner does not constitute her or the City's representation or warranty as to their conformity with any architectural, fire, safety, zoning, electrical or building code, and responsibility therefore at all times remains with Tenant. Tenant must not permit its design and construction Subcontractors to make any substantial modifications to base building systems without prior written consent of the Commissioner which consent will not unreasonably be withheld.
  1. Change Order Review. Tenant must cause all Work to be performed in a first class, good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with the Construction Documents, and shall not
26
 
 
COMTSSIOX l.l'AM ACRi l Xii XI •MRPORT PI A/A
deviate from the Construction Documents in any way that would substantially change look, feel, operation, or functionality except upon an approved change order. Tenant may request in writing that change orders relating to the Work be responded to by the City, and the City will so respond within 10 days, unless a response within 10 days is unreasonable in the circumstances, in which case the response period will be as reasonably determined by the City but in no event longer than 20 days. The City will not unreasonably refuse to approve change orders. At all times during the Work, Tenant must have on file with the Commissioner and on the construction site for inspection by the Commissioner, a copy of the approved Construction Documents. Tenant must promptly begin to reconstruct or replace and diligently pursue to completion, at its sole cost and expense, before or after completion of the Work, any Work that is not performed in substantial accordance with the Construction Documents as approved by the Commissioner.
H.      Inspection of Improvements in Progress. The Department has the right to enter upon
the Leased Space for the purposes of inspecting and recording the Improvements in progress,
ensuring that Tenant's construction complies with the Construction Documents, and rejecting any
such construction that does not so conform
I.      Notice of Substantial Completion and Inspection. At least 14 days prior to anticipated
substantial completion of the construction of a Leased Space, Tenant must deliver to the
Commissioner a "notice of substantial completion". On the date specified in the notice of
substantial completion, the Department will perform a final inspection of the Improvements for
= - compliance with the Construction Documents for the Improvements, and-will, not later than 10 days : after inspection, provide a punchlist to Tenant describing in sufficient detail any discrepancies <i between the Improvements and the Construction Documents. Tenant must cause all discrepancies (other than those approved by the Commissioner as variances, which consent will not unreasonably be withheld) to be reconstructed, replaced or repaired in substantial accordance with the Construction - Documents. Within 10 days after the date of substantial completion and prior to commencing Concession operations in Leased Space, Tenant must provide, as evidence of the substantial completion of the Work, copies of any and all Certificates of Occupancy and other approvals, if any, necessary for Tenant to occupy the portion ofthe Leased Space for its intended use. Tenant shall not commence Concession operations in the Leased Space until such documents have been received by the Commissioner and until authorized to do so by the Commissioner such authorization not to be unreasonably be withheld.
J. Timeliness - Punch Lists; Opening for Business. Tenant acknowledges that if it fails to comply with Construction Document requirements (including all tasks necessary to satisfy them, such as, but not limited to, applying at the earliest possible time for and diligently pursuing all necessary building permits), the delay may cause the City to suffer damages, including loss of goodwill, that might be difficult to ascertain or prove. For that reason, but subject to extensions that may be approved by the Commissioner (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), if Tenant has not caused the Improvements to be substantially completed in accordance with the Construction

CONiT SSIO\ I.I'ASt Av.Ri ! \;i Ni AIRPOR'I PLA/ A
Documents and Concession to be open to the public for business not later than 60 days after the Date of Beneficial Occupancy, as defined herein:
  1. Tenant must pay the City liquidated damages at the rate of $750.00 per day for each day from and after the Date of Beneficial Occupancy, until the date on which the Concession actually opens to the public for business (for clarity, it is acknowledged that this shall not apply just because food service is not yet operational, so long as fuel and convenience retail have opened); and
  2. if Tenant fails to substantially complete the Improvements in accordance with the approved Construction Documents relating to them and open the Concession to the public for business within 120 days after the Date of Beneficial Occupancy, the failure is an Event of Default and the City has the right to exercise any and all remedies under this Agreement, at law or in equity; and further,
(iv) if Tenant is permitted to open for business in accordance with the schedule in the Construction Documents but any punchlist items are not completed within 30 days following the date on which Tenant opens to the public for business, the Commissioner will assess liquidated damages against Tenant at the rate of $200 per day for each day on which there is any one or more punchlist items not timely completed; and
(v) if Tenant is permitted to open for business but any punchlist items are not completed within 60 days following the date on which Tenant opens to the public for business, the City reserves the right, at the Commissioner's reasonable discretion, to complete the punchlist Work at the City's cost and bill the Tenant for this Work, in which case the charges are considered Additional Rent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to pay liquidated damages due to loss of goodwill as specified in this Section 5.4 if such loss of goodwill is caused by an act or omission of the City.
K. Post-construction Documentation. Tenant must submit a complete set of "as-built" drawings and documentation as outlined in the TDCPM to the Commissioner within 30 days after the date the Commissioner authorizes Tenant to begin Concession operations in the Leased Space.
L. No Mechanics' Liens. Tenant must not permit any mechanics' lien for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to it to attach to any portion of the Leased Space, the Airport, Tenant's leasehold interest, or this Agreement in any way relating to any work performed by or at the direction of Tenant. Upon making payments to Subcontractors, Tenant must obtain from each Subcontractor a waiver of mechanics' liens against any portion of the Leased Space, The Airport, Tenant's leasehold interest, or this Agreement arising out of any Work done by the Subcontractor and each and every of the Subcontractor's materialmen and workmen. If,
28
 
 
( <}'  TS-!:.'•• I ; \s! ACiRI'l \if \ i AIRPORT i'T A/A
nonetheless, any such mechanics' lien is filed upon any portion of the Leased Space, the Airport, Tenant's leasehold interest, or this Agreement, Tenant must indemnify, protect, defend and save harmless the City against any loss, liability or expense whatsoever by reason of it and must promptly and diligently proceed with or defend, at its own expense, the action or proceedings as may be necessary to remove the lien. Tenant must deliver notice to the Commissioner of any such lien or claim within 15 days after Tenant has knowledge of it. Tenant may permit the mechanics' lien to remain undischarged and unsatisfied during the period ofthe contest and appeal; provided that Tenant must post a bond with the City equal to 150% ofthe amount of the lien. If by nonpayment of any lien any portion of the Leased Space, the Airport, Tenant's leasehold interest, or this Agreement will be, or is claimed to be, subject to loss or forfeiture, then Tenant must immediately pay and cause to be satisfied and discharged the lien or contest such lien in court in order to block such loss or forfeiture. If Tenant fails to do so, the Commissioner may, in her sole discretion, draw on the bond and make such payment. If the Commissioner has not requested a bond, then the Commissioner may, in her sole discretion, make such payment out of legally available Airport funds and, in such event, the amount paid shall immediately be payable by Tenant as Additional Rent. Failure to post a bond when requested in writing by the Commissioner or pay such Additional Rent when invoiced for it shall be an Event of Default.
5.5     Damage or Destruction of Improvements.
  1. Non-Major Damage. If Improvements to any Leased Space are damaged, in whole or
in part, by fire or casualty, and there is no Major Damage (as defined below) to the portion ofthe ^ Leased Space served by the damaged Improvements, then Tenant must repair the damage to the Improvements as soon as reasonably possible at Tenant's expense; or, provided that if there is less than three years left on the Term, Tenant may, upon written notice to the City within 60 days of the damage, elect not to repair the damage and terminate the lease.
  1. Major Damage.
(i) "Major Damage" means any damage or destruction that, based on ; reasonable estimates made by the Department within 30 days after the occurrence of the damage or destruction, in order to be repaired to the condition existing before the damage or destruction would cost in excess of 50% of the replacement cost of the Improvements, or would require, in the sole judgment of the Commissioner more than nine months to complete.
(ii) If any part of the Leased Space suffers Major Damage by fire or other casualty, Tenant has the right, for a period of 90 days starting on the date of the occurrence, to elect not to repair the Major Damage as otherwise required under this section, by giving written notice ofthe election to the Commissioner. If Tenant does not make such election, Tenant must repair the damage to the Improvements as soon as reasonably possible at Tenant's expense, and equitable changes will be made to the
 
29
 
 
CONCTSSKA I.! AM A' ,;<i IVj ■-. I
AiRPOR'l P[ A/A
Rent, Minimum Annual Guarantee, and/or otherwise as may be appropriate starting as of the date of the damage through the date ofthe repair completion. .
(iii) The repair costs incurred by Tenant, exclusive ofany insurance benefits or proceeds received, will be included in Improvement Costs, and the amortization period specified in Section 5.3(D) will begin with respect to such repair costs as of the repair completion date.(v) Before beginning to replace, repair, rebuild or restore Improvements, Tenant must deliver to the Commissioner a report of an independent consultant acceptable to the Commissioner setting forth:
  1. an estimate ofthe total cost of the Work; and
  2. the estimated date upon which the Work will be substantially completed; and
  3. a statement to the effect that insurance proceeds will or will not be sufficient to pay the costs of the Work.
(vi) The Commissioner will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide suitable temporary Relocation Space during the period of restoration subject to the reasonable written approval of Tenant. Tenant may, by written notice to the City, elect to relocate the Concession operations to the temporary Relocation Space, and, if the Tenant makes such election, the costs associated with any such relocation, including moving expenses and the cost of reconstructing any Improvements in the temporary Relocation Space, must be borne by Tenant. The relocation costs incurred by Tenant, exclusive of any insurance^ benefits or proceeds received, will be included in Improvement Costs, and the amortization period specified in Section 5.3(D) will begin with respect to such relocation costs as of the relocation date.
5.6     City Resident Construction Worker Employment Requirement.
A. Use of Residents. In connection with and during the construction of the Work, Tenant and its Subcontractors must comply with the provisions of § 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code of the City of Chicago ("Municipal Code"),' as amended from time to time concerning the minimum percentage of total construction worker hours performed by actual residents of the City. (At least 50% of the total construction worker hours worked by persons on the site of the Work must be performed by actual residents of the City. Tenant may request a reduction or waiver of this minimum percentage level of Chicagoans in accordance with standards and procedures developed by the Chief Procurement Officer of the City.) In addition to complying with this percentage, Tenant and its Subcontractors are required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified residents of the City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions. "Actual residents of the City" means persons domiciled within the City. The domicile is an individual's one and only true, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment. Tenant and each Subcontractor (for purposes of this subsection, "Employer") must provide for the maintenance of adequate employee residency records to ensure
30
 
 
CO\Ci SSIO\ I.i \SI Af.i:' ! N!
AIRPOR'I PI A/A
that actual Chicago residents are employed. Each Employer will maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every Chicago employee's actual record of residence.
  1. Certified Payroll Reports. Monthly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) must be submitted to the Commissioner in triplicate and must identify clearly the actual residence of every employee on each submitted certified payroll. The first time that an employee's name appears on a payroll, the date that the Employer hired the employee should be written in after the employee's name.
  2. Inspection of Records. Each Employer must provide full access to its employment records to the Chief Procurement Officer, the Commissioner, the Superintendent ofthe Chicago Police Department, the Inspector General or any duly authorized representative ofany of them. Each Employer must maintain all relevant personnel data and records for a period of at least 3 years after final acceptance of the Work. At the direction of the Commissioner, affidavits and other supporting documentation may be required of each Employer to verify or clarify an employee's actual address when doubt or lack of clarity has arisen.
  3. Level of Effort. Efforts on the part of each Employer to provide utilization of actual Chicago residents that are not sufficient for the granting of a waiver request as provided for in the standards and procedures developed by the Chief Procurement Officer will not suffice to replace the actual, verified achievement of the requirements of this section concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
  4. Shortfalls; Liquidated Damages. When the Work is completed, in the event that the City has determined that Tenant 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 % of the aggregate hard construction costs of the Improvement Costs (the product of .0005 x such aggregate hard construction costs) (as evidenced by approved contract value for the actual contracts) must be surrendered by Tenant to the City as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, in payment for each percentage of shortfall toward the stipulated residency requirement. Failure to report the residency of employees entirely and correctly will result in the surrender of the entire liquidated damages as if no Chicago residents were employed in either ofthe categories. The willful falsification of statements and the certification of payroll data may subject Tenant and/or the Subcontractors to prosecution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to pay liquidated damages if Tenant's failure to ensure the fulfillment of the requirement of this section concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents or failure to report in the manner as indicated above due to an act or omission of the City.
  5. Nothing set forth in this section acts as 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
31

action required for equal opportunity under the provisions of this Agreement or related documents, as applicable.
G. Inclusion in Subcontracts. Tenant must cause or require the provisions of this section to be included in all construction Subcontracts related to the Work.
  1. Licensing of General Contractor. This Agreement is subject to Chapter 4-36 of the Municipal Code which requires all persons acting as a general contractor (as defined in Chapter 4-36) to be licensed as a general contractor by the City. Tenant's failure to ensure that any general contractor working on Improvements complies with Chapter 4-36 will be an Event of Default.
  2. Prevailing Wages. In connection with the construction, repair, and maintenance of Improvements, Tenant must comply with the applicable provisions of 820 ILCS 130/0.01 et seq. regarding the payment of prevailing wages, and the most recent Illinois Department of Labor schedule of prevailing wages, and any successors to them. Tenant must insert appropriate provisions in all Subcontracts covering construction work under this Agreement to ensure compliance of all construction Subcontractors with the foregoing wage statutes and regulations.
  3. Subcontractor Certifications. Tenant must require all Subcontractors performing Work in connection with this Agreement to be bound by the following provision and Tenant must cooperate fully with the City in exercising the rights and remedies described below or otherwise available at law or in equity:
"Subcontractor certifies and represents that Subcontractor and any entity or individual that owns or controls, or is controlled or owned by, or is under common control or ownership with Subcontractor is not currently indebted'to the City and will not at any time during the Term be indebted to the City, for or on account of any delinquent taxes, liens, judgments, fees or other debts for which no written agreement or payment plan satisfactory to the City has been established. In addition to any other rights or remedies available to the City at law or in equity, Subcontractor acknowledges that any breach or failure to conform'to this certification may, at the option and direction ofthe City, result in the withholding of payments otherwise due to Subcontractor for services rendered in connection with the Agreement and, if the breach or failure is not resolved to the City's satisfaction within a reasonable time frame specified by the City in writing, may result in the offset of any such indebtedness against the payments otherwise due to Subcontractor and/or the termination of Subcontractor for default (in which case Subcontractor will be liable for all excess costs and other damages resulting from the termination.)"
 
ARTICLE 6 TERM OF AGREEMENT
 
 
32
 
 
CO.VTSSHA 1.1 \S! AGIil'i-'vli'N I ■MKPOU1 PI A/A
  1. Term. The term of this Agreement is the "Term" as defined in Article 3, unless this Agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. The Agreement will become effective and binding on the date of its counter-signature by the Mayor ("Effective Date").
Subject to approval by the Federal Aviation Administration, the Term will commence on the Effective Date and will expire on the 15th anniversary ofthe Date of Beneficial Occupancy of the final portion of the Leased Space to be delivered to the Tenant, except as may be extended in accordance with the Agreement. The City reserves, at its sole discretion, the right to extend the Term with (2) two five year extensions.
  1. Holding Over.
  1. Without consent. If Tenant continues to occupy all or a portion ofthe Leased Space without the written consent of the Commissioner after expiration or termination of this Agreement in its entirety, or as to any such portion of the Leased Space where the Lease under this Agreement has expired or terminated, the holding over constitutes a month-to-month lease on the same terms and conditions as this Agreement, except that Tenant must pay Rent for the entire holdover period for the Leased Space where the Lease has expired or been terminated at 150% of the Base Rent payable for that Leased Space during the immediately preceding Lease Year, plus the applicable Percentage Rent. No occupancy of Leased Space by Tenant after the expiration or other termination of the Lease under this Agreement with respect to such Leased Space extends the Term of this Agreement or the Lease, except as a holdover tenancy. Also, in the event of such holdover tenancy, Tenant shall indemnify the City against all damages arising out of the Tenant's retention of occupancy, and all insurance policies and letters of credit required to be obtained and maintained by Tenant as set forth in this Agreement shall continue in effect.
  2. With consent. Any holding over with the written consent of the Commissioner constitutes a month-to-month lease on the same terms and conditions as this Agreement, including payment of the'Rent attributable to the portion or portions of the Leased Space that Tenant continues to occupy. Thereafter, Tenant must surrender and vacate the Leased Space no later than the 30th day following notice from the Commissioner that the month-to-month holdover is terminated; Tenant's failure to do so shall be deemed a holding over without consent under (A).
  3. Return of the Leased Space and Removal of Improvements.
  1. At the termination or expiration for any reason of this Agreement or the Lease as to any portion of the Leased Space, Tenant must promptly, peaceably, quietly and in good order quit, deliver up and return the Leased Space (or that portion as to which the Lease has terminated, in the case of a partial termination) in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted.
  2. Tenant must remove all Tenant personal property and trade fixtures from the Leased Space or the portions of the Leased Space before the date of termination or expiration. Subject to Section 7.7, any personal property or trade fixtures remaining in the Leased Space 30 days after the
33
 
 
C(AiTSSIO\ l.l'ASr A(-.Ri I Vil.N I A1RPORI IM A/A
date of termination or expiration shall be deemed abandoned, and the City may dispose of such personal property or trade fixtures in the Commissioner's sole discretion, and Tenant shall have no claim to the proceeds, if any, from such disposition.
  1. Further, at the Commissioner's request (which request will be given in writing at least 30 days before the termination or expiration ofthe Term), Tenant must, within a reasonable time after termination, remove all Improvements, including any underground storage tanks or fuel systems installed by or for Tenant, or Tenant's agents, employees or Subcontractors, except for Improvements that the Commissioner may elect to require Tenant to leave in place. As provided in Section 5.2, all Improvements are City property and, if not requested to be removed by the Commissioner, may be used by the City or a replacement tenant; provided, however, that all of Tenant's trade dress, service marks, trademarks and trade names shall be removed, obliterated or painted out in a commercially reasonable manner at Tenant's cost. If directed by the Commissioner to remove Improvements, Tenant must also cap off any plumbing or drains and remove, obliterate or paint out any and all of its signs, advertising and displays as the Commissioner or his designated representative may direct, and repair any holes or other damage left or caused by Tenant.
  2. Tenant must repair any damage to the Leased Space caused by Tenant's removal of Tenant personal property, trade fixtures and Improvements (unless Tenant removes the Improvements pursuant to the City's election described above), ordinary wear and tear excepted. All the removal and repair required of Tenant under this section are at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
  3. If Tenant fails to perform any of its foregoing obligations, then the Commissioner may cause the obligations to be performed by Department personnel or City contractors, and Tenant must pay the cost of the performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from and after the date the costs were incurred until receipt of full payment therefor.
  1. Termination or Adjustment Due to Change. If any action by the FAA, the TSA or any other governmental entity or the issuance of an order by any court of competent jurisdiction or any law or any agreement with any airline using the Airport renders performance of a party's obligation under this Agreement impossible, then such party shall be relieved of that obligation until such time, if any, when the governmental action or court order is stayed, vacated, or reversed, so long as the action or order is not the result of such party's breach of this Agreement. If any governmental action or court order or any law or any agreement with any airline using the Airport impacts Tenant's use and enjoyment ofthe Leased Space, as described above, equitable changes will be made to the Rent, Minimum Annual Guarantee, and/or otherwise (including termination of this Agreement) as may be appropriate.
  2. Eminent Domain.
A. If the entirety of the Leased Space is taken by eminent domain by an authority other than the City, the Term of this Agreement will end upon the earlier of the date when possession is required by the condemning authority or the effective date ofthe taking.

COMVNSKA I.KAM AORi I.Vii '. I AIRPORT PI.A/A
  1. If any eminent domain proceeding is instituted by an authority other than the City in which it is sought to take any part of the Airport or the Leased Space, the taking of which would, in the reasonable discretion ofthe Commissioner or Tenant, render it impractical or undesirable to conduct Concession operations on the remaining portion of the Leased Space for the intended purposes, the Commissioner and Tenant will each have the right to terminate this Agreement upon not less than 90 days' written notice to the other. If this Agreement is not so terminated, then equitable changes will be made to the Rent, Minimum Annual Guarantee, and/or otherwise as may be appropriate.
  2. In the event of termination of this Agreement under either (A) or (B), all Rent accrued for the Leased Space in question prior to the termination date is payable to the City. However, the City shall have no obligation to pay Tenant any unamortized Improvement Costs for such Leased Space, and Tenant shall look solely to the condemning authority for any award of damages.
 
ARTICLE 7 RENT AND FEES
7.1     Rent Payable.
A. In consideration of Tenant's Lease to the Leased Space and the License to operate its Concession in the Leased Space and the associated rights and privileges granted in this Agreement, Tenant must pay the following, without notice or demand, as rent and fees the Base Rent, License Fee and Additional Rent (collectively, "Rent") as follows:
  1. Base Rent. The "Base Rent^" which, from DBO for the first Leased Space through the end of the initial Lease Year, is an amount equal to the product of the annual per square foot rental rate set forth in Exhibit 2 (the "Base Rent Rate") multiplied by the number of square feet of Leased Space as set forth in Exhibit 1 that has reached its DBO (and prorated as needed for partial year occupancy of Leased Space). Once DBO has been reached with respect to all Leased Spaces, the Base Rent for each Lease Year will be payable in^equal monthly installments. At all times, Base Rent Rate is applicable to the actual square footage of the Leased Space for which DBO has been reached and is therefore subject to adjustment to reflect Additional Space, Relocation Space and any Leased Space that has been vacated by Tenant in compliance with this Agreement. Every three Lease Years following the initial Lease Year (i.e., for years 4, 7, 10, and so forth) the Base Rent Rate applicable to the Leased Space will increase by the lesser of 3% or the average CPI throughout the prior 3 years.
  2. License Fee. Beginning as of the first Date of Beneficial Occupancy, an amount equal to the greater of a. or b.:
a.       Percentage Fee. The "Percentage Fee" is an amount equal to the percentage rental rates set forth in Exhibit 2 as applied to Gross Revenues.
 
35
 
 
COVTSSiOV 1.1 AS! AdRl'J X'l \ 1 AIRPOR ( PLAZA
b. Minimum Annual Guarantee. The "Minimum Annual Guarantee" or "MAG" for the second Lease Year is the MAG dollar amount set forth in Exhibit 2. Beginning with the third Lease Year, and for each Lease Year thereafter, the Minimum Annual Guarantee will equal the greater of: 1) eighty-five percent (85%) of the total Percentage Fee payable for the preceding Lease Year and 2) the Minimum Annual Guarantee dollar amount set forth in Exhibit 2 for the second Lease Year. The Minimum Annual Guarantee applicable to the last Lease Year will be pro-rated if less than 12 months.
Additional Rent. Any other charges payable to the City under this Agreement that are identified as Additional Rent.
Escalation upon Term Extension.
The Base Rent payable to the City pursuant to Exhibit B shall increase upon the commencement of an extension pursuant to Section 6.1. The amount of such increase shall be determined by the appraised fair market rent for the Leased Space, and each Improvement upon the Leased Space, respectively; fair market rent to be initially determined by City's independent appraiser as the rent that would be paid by an unrelated, willing tenant under the otherwise same terms and conditions as this Agreement, and City shall set forth such determination in a written notice to Tenant, which determination shall be provided to Tenant no later than 120 days prior to the expiration of the initial term. [
In the event that Tenant disputes the fair market rent as determined by City, then at any time on or before the date occurring thirty (30) days after Tenant has been notified by City of the fair market rent, Tenant may give written notice of such dispute to the City, supported by the report of its own independent appraiser as to the fair market rent. If City and Tenant are thereafter unable to reach agreement upon the fair market rent, then the parties shall select a mutually acceptable independent MAI appraiser with at least ten (10) years experience in commercial real estate appraisal of similar properties. The third appraiser shall, within forty-five (45) days of his or her appointment, select one of the two estimates of fair market rent submitted by City and Tenant as the one closer to the fair market rent as determined by the third appraiser. The value so selected shall be the fair market rent. The party whose estimate is not chosen by the third appraiser shall pay all costs and expenses of the third appraiser and any experts retained by the third appraiser. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by or for such party. The time periods in this provision are intended to be approximate guidelines only, and failure of the parties to strictly comply shall not invalidate the process.

(iii) Within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the final determination of the fair market rent pursuant to the foregoing. Tenant, by written notice to the City, may elect to rescind its extension ofthe Term and terminate the Agreement, in which case this Agreement shall expire on the date it would have expired had the City not provided the Tenant notice of its intent to extend the Term.
  1. Impositions. Tenant must timely pay, as and when due, any and all taxes, assessments, fees, and charges levied, assessed or imposed by a governmental unit upon this Agreement, the Leased Space, Tenant's leasehold, Tenant's Concession business or upon Tenant's personal property, including but not limited to all permit fees and charges of a similar nature for Tenant's conduct of any business or undertaking in the Leased Space (collectively, "Impositions"). Tenant must provide the Concession Management Representative with copies of any business licenses or permits required for the Tenant to operate the Concession. Tenant must provide Commissioner a copy of all notices relating to leasehold taxes on the Leased Space within 30 days after receipt and must provide the Commissioner with a receipt indicating payment of leasehold taxes on the Leased Space when due. Nothing in this Agreement precludes Tenant from contesting the amount of an Imposition, including those taxes or charges enacted or promulgated by City, but unless otherwise allowed by the applicable law or the entity imposing the tax or charge, Tenant must pay the tax or charge pending the judicial or administrative decision on the Tenant's contest. Failure of Tenant to pay any Imposition more than 10 days beyond when due, except to the extent that Tenant is allowed to withhold payment while contesting the amount ofthe Imposition/will constitute an Event of Default. As provided in Section 4.1, Tenant acknowledges that the leasehold created under this Agreement is taxable, and while Tenant may contest the amount ofthe leasehold tax, Tenant shall not contest its applicability.
  2. Rent under this Agreement is not considered to be a tax and is independent of any Imposition levied by the City on the Tenant's business. Further, the payment of the Rent under this Agreement is independent of each and every other covenant and agreement contained in this Agreement, and Tenant must pay all Rent without any set off, abatement, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. If Tenant is directed to move its Concession operations to a Relocation Space, and the City determines that the Leased Space is to be closed before completion of the Improvements in the Relocation Space, then adjustments will be made to the Minimum Annual Guarantee until Tenant begins Concession operations in the Relocation Space.
7.2     Time of Payments.
A. On or before the first day of each calendar month, prorated for any partial calendar month, beginning on the Delivery Date of the first Leased Space and continuing throughout the Term, Tenant must pay to the City:

  1. the amount, if any, by which the actual Percentage Fee for the preceding month pursuant to Section 7. l(A)(ii)(a) exceeds the Minimum Annual Guarantee payment that was made on the first day of the month;
  2. the Marketing Fee if any, based on the Gross Revenues of the preceding month; and
 
 
C.      If the annual statement of Gross Revenues indicates that the Percentage Fee
attributable to the preceding Lease Year exceeds the amount of all payments made by Tenant to the
City for the Lease Year in question, then Tenant must pay the amount of the underpaid Percentage
Fee to the City upon the submission of the annual statement of Gross Revenues. If the annual
statement of Gross Revenues indicates that the Percentage Fee attributable to the preceding Lease
Year is less than the amount of all License Fee payments made by Tenant to the City for the period in
question, but the Percentage Fee still exceeds the MAG for that Lease Year, then Tenant will receive
a credit against the next License Fee payment due under this Agreement for the amount by which the
License Fee actually paid by Tenant exceeded the Percentage Fee attributable to the period.

  1. Tenant underpaid Rent due in any calendar year by more than 5%, or v
  2. Tenant failed to make any Rent payments within 5 days ofthe date due, then Tenant must pay, in addition to the amount due the City as Rent, interest on the amount of underpayment or late payment at the Default Rate. Interest on the amount underpaid accrues from the date on which the original payment was due until paid in full and shall be considered Additional Rent. The provision for the payment of interest does not constitute an authorization by the City of underpayment or late payment":

D. All such reports and statements must be prepared in a form approved by the Commissioner and must, among other things, provide a breakdown of the Gross Revenues by category of Merchandise and ah analysis of all Percentage Fees due and payable to the City with respect to the period in question. If Tenant fails to timely furnish to the Commissioner any monthly or annual statement required under this Agreement or if the independent certified public accountants' or CEO or CFO's opinion is qualified or conditioned in any manner, the Commissioner has the right (but is not obligated), upon reasonable written notice, to conduct an audit of Tenant's books and records in order to prepare the statements at Tenant's expense. Tenant must also provide the Commissioner with such other financial or statistical reports and information concerning the Leased Space or any part thereof, in the form as may be reasonably required from time to time by the Commissioner, as may be appropriate to confirm Tenant's compliance with this Agreement.

The books, records and accounts relating to the Leased Space, including any sales tax reports that Tenant may be required to furnish to any government or governmental agency, must, upon at least 7 days prior written notice, be open to the inspection (including the making of copies or extracts) of the Commissioner, the Commissioner's auditor or other authorized representative or agent at Tenant's offices for a period of at least 3 years after the expiration of each calendar year falling wholly or in part within the Term

records relating to the Leased Space for the period covered by any statement issued by Tenant as above set forth within the 3 calendar years prior to the date of such audit. If the audit discloses that Tenant's statement of Gross Revenues is understated to the extent of:
  1. 3% or more, Tenant must promptly pay the City the cost of the audit in addition to the deficiency (and any interest on the deficiency at the Default Rate), which deficiency is payable in any event; and if
  2. 7% or more, an Event of Default is considered to have occurred, and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement, at law, or in equity, the Commissioner has the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon giving notice to Tenant, without any opportunity for Tenant to cure.
In addition to the foregoing, and in addition to all other remedies available to the City, if Tenant or the City's auditor schedules a date for an audit of Tenant's records and Tenant fails to be available or otherwise fails to comply with the reasonable requirements for the audit, Tenant must pay all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the scheduled audit.
  1. Revenue Control. Upon the request of the Commissioner Tenant must make available monthly sales data ("Point of Sale Data"), reflecting the amount of each sales transaction, items sold per transaction, time and date of the transaction, and specifying the sales category applicable to each item sold. At such time, if any, as computerized Point of Sale Data systems ("POS Systems") have been developed to a point where the Commissioner deems it necessary or desirable to install such a POS System, then Tenant must upon request and at its ovyn expense, install a compatible POS System or, if it already uses such a system, must use reasonable efforts to promptly cause the system to be compatible with the City's POS System. Tenant shall be given a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed one year, to accomplish the foregoing.

ARTICLE 8 INSURANCE, INDEMNITY AND SECURITY
8.1 Insurance. Tenant must, at its sole expense, procure and maintain at all times during the Term of this Agreement, and during any time period following expiration or termination of this
41
 
 
CON<,TSSIO\ I.i'AM- AGRT1 Ml Nl AIRPOR'I Pi. A/A
Agreement during which Tenant is holding over or Tenant is required to return to the Leased Space for any reason whatsoever, the types of insurance specified in Exhibit 8 covering all operations under this Agreement, with insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Illinois.
  1. Indemnification.
  1. Tenant must defend, indemnify, keep and hold harmless the City, its officers, representatives, elected and appointed officials, agents and employees, from and against any and all Losses, except to the extent Losses are caused by the negligence, willful misconduct, breach of contract, or violation of law by the City, its officers, representatives, elected and appointed officials, agents or employees.
  2. "Losses" means, individually and collectively, liabilities of every kind, including losses, damages, and reasonable costs, payments and expenses (such as, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements), claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, judgments or settlements, any or all of which in any way arise out of or relate to the acts or omissions of Tenant, its employees, agents, subtenants, and Subcontractors.
  3. Tenant must defend all suits brought upon all such Losses and must pay all costs and expenses incidental to them, but the City has the right, at its option, to participate, at its own cost, in the defense of any suit, without relieving Tenant of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Tenant shall have the right to settle but must not make any settlement without the prior written consent to it by the City Corporation Counsel if the settlement requires any action on the part of the City or in any way involving the Airport, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
} D. To the extent permissible by law, Tenant waives any limits to the amount of its obligations to indemnify, defend or contribute to any sums due under any Losses, including any limits applicable to a claim by any employee of Tenant that may be subject to the Workers' Compensation Act, 820 ILCS 305/1 et seq or any other related law or judicial decision (such as, Kotecki v. Cyclops Welding Corporation, 146 111. 2d 155 (1991)). The waiver, however, does not require Tenant to indemnify the City for the City's own negligence, willful misconduct, breach of contract, or violation of law. The City, however, does not waive any limitations it may have on its liability under the Worker's Compensation Act or under the Illinois Pension Code. For clarity, it is acknowledged that Tenant's waiver hereunder is not in favor ofany employee of Tenant or in favor of any other third party not expressly indemnified by Tenant hereunder.
E. The indemnities contained in this section survive expiration or termination of this Agreement, for matters occurring or arising during the Term of this Agreement or as the result of or during the holding over of Tenant beyond the Term. Tenant acknowledges that the requirements set forth in this section to indemnify, keep and save harmless and defend the City are apart from and not limited by the Tenant's duties under this Agreement, including the insurance and Security requirements.
  1. Security

AlKI'OR 1 PI.A/A
A.      Form of Security.
  1. Tenant must deliver to the City no later than the earlier to occur of: a) 30 days after the Effective Date or b) 30 days after the Delivery Date for the first Leased Space, an irrevocable, unconditional sight draft Letter of Credit in favor ofthe City. The face amount of the Letter of Credit and any replacements or renewals of it must be maintained by Tenant, through and including the date that is 180 days after the expiration of the Term or termination of this Agreement, as follows: the face amount of the Letter of Credit must at all times equal thirty thousand dollars ($30,000). The Letter of Credit must be in such form as Tenant may request, subject to approvals by the Corporation Counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
  2. In lieu or replacement of the Letter of Credit, Tenant may provide cash or a cashier's check, in the same amount for immediate deposit in the City's accounts. The Letter of Credit, cash or cashier's check, as applicable, is referred to in this Agreement as the "Security." The original Letter of Credit, and all replacements of it, must be issued with an expiry date of at least one year after their respective dates of issuance. The Security secures the faithful performance by Tenant of all of Tenant's obligations under this Agreement. The Commissioner is entitled to draw on any such Letter of Credit unless proof of renewal of the Letter of Credit or a replacement Letter of Credit in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Comptroller has been furnished to the Commissioner at least 30 days before its expiration date. The City will hold the proceeds as a cash Security to secure the full and faithful performance of Tenant's obligations under this Agreement. The Commissioner is not obligated to pay or credit Tenant with interest on any Security. ;
  3. The Commissioner also is entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit in whole or in part upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in which event the Commissioner shall apply the proceeds of it or any cash or other Security deposited by Tenant and held by the City for the payment ofany obligation of Tenant arising before or after the Event of Default. Any amounts drawn that are not applied shall be held as cash Security. Tenant may replace any cash Security with a Letter of Credit at any time.
  4. The Letter of Credit must provide that the Commissioner may draw upon the Letter of Credit in whole or in part upon the delivery by the Commissioner to the issuer of the Letter of Credit of a demand for payment, purportedly signed by the Commissioner, together with a written statement that the Commissioner is entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit under the terms of this Agreement, and a copy ofthe demand and written statement to be simultaneously sent to Tenant. If amounts are properly drawn upon the Letter of Credit and applied or amounts of a cash Security are properly applied by the Commissioner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Tenant must reinstate the Letter of Credit or cash Security to its full

C(V.Ci'NSI<)\ I f AM Ai     | v:\ \ I AIRPOR'I RI A/A
amount required in this Agreement within 10 days following notification by the Commissioner of the City's draw upon the Letter of Credit or use of the cash Security. The rights reserved to the Commissioner or the City under the Letter of Credit or any cash Security are in addition to any rights they may have under this Agreement or under law.
  1. 180 days after the expiration ofthe Term or termination of this Agreement, the City will return to Tenant any unapplied Security.
  2. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 8.3, if there is no Tenant Event of Default prior to the date that is one year after the DBO, the Tenant will no longer be required to maintain the Security and the City will return to Tenant any cash Security.
  1. Qualified Issuers. The Letter of Credit called for in this Agreement must be issued by companies or financial institutions having a rating of "A" or better as determined by Standard and Poor's or by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or a net worth of at least $500,000,000, and must have an office in Chicago where the Commissioner may draw on the Letter of Credit. The Commissioner also reserves the right to order Tenant to immediately close some or all ofthe Leased Space until the Letter of Credit is in place and effective.
  2. Right to Require Replacement of Letter of Credit. If the financial condition of any Letter of Credit issuer issuing the Letter of Credit materially and adversely changes such that it is no longer qualified hereunder, the Commissioner may, at any time, reasonably require that the Letter of Credit be replaced with a Letter of Credit from another institution and in accordance with the requirements set forth in this section.
  3. No Excuse from Performance. None of the provisions contained in this Agreement nor in the Letter of Credit required under this Agreement excuse Tenant from faithfully performing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or limit the liability of Tenant under this Agreement for any and all damages in excess ofthe amounts of the Letter of Credit.
  4. Non-Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the failure of the Commissioner to draw upon the Letter of Credit required under this Agreement or to require Tenant to replace the Letter of Credit at any time or times when the Commissioner has the right to do so under this Agreement does not waive or modify the Commissioner's rights to draw upon the Letter of Credit and to require Tenant to maintain or, as the case may be, replace the Letter of Credit, all as provided in this Section.
ARTICLE 9 DEFAULT, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION
9.1 Events of Default. The following (A) through (N) constitute Events of Default by Tenant under this Agreement.

  1. Tenant's failure to make any payment in full when due under this Agreement and failure to cure the default within five days after the City gives written notice of the non-payment to Tenant. In addition, Tenant's failure to make any such payment within five days after the written notice more than three times in any Lease Year constitutes an Event of Default without the necessity ofthe City giving notice ofthe fourth failure to Tenant or allowing Tenant any opportunity to cure it.
  2. Tenant's failure to promptly and fully keep, fulfill, comply with, observe, or perform any promise, covenant, term, condition or other non-monetary obligation or duty of Tenant contained in this Agreement.

46
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I
 
CONO'SSIOV I.rAv A(iR; I V;i N : •URi'OR I PI.A/A
  1. Terminate this Agreement with respect to all or a portion of the Leased Space and exclude Tenant from that part ofthe Leased Space affected by the termination. If the City elects to terminate this Agreement, the Commissioner shall serve written notice upon Tenant that this Agreement is terminated effective immediately upon receipt of notice.
  2. Recover all Rent, including Additional Rent and any other amounts due that have accrued and are then due and payable and also all damages available at law or under this Agreement. If the Agreement is terminated, whether in its entirety or with respect to a part ofthe Leased Space, the damages will include damages for the balance ofthe scheduled Term (net of any rents collected by the City from another tenant to which the City may re-lease the space), based upon any and all amounts that Tenant would have been obligated to pay for the balance of the Term with respect to the Leased Space, or if this Agreement is terminated with respect to a portion ofthe Leased Space, that portion of the Leased Space affected by the termination, calculated as provided in this Agreement or, if not fixed, as reasonably estimated and prorated among the various portions ofthe Leased Space. In determining the amount of damages for the period after termination, the Commissioner may make the determination based upon the sum ofany future payments that would have been due to the City for the full Lease Year immediately before the Event of Default. All amounts that would have been due and payable after termination for the balance ofthe Term with respect to all or a portion of the Leased Space must be discounted to present value at the Default Rate existing as of the date of termination. The Commissioner may declare such amount to be immediately due and payable.
  3. Upon written notice, whether or not this Agreement has been terminated, reenter and repossess the Leased Space and/or any part of it with or without process of law; so long as no undue force is used, and the City has the option, but not the obligation, to re-lease all or any part of the Leased Space. The City, however, is not required to accept any Tenant proposed by Tenant or to observe any instruction given the City about such a re-lease. The failure of the City to re-lease the Leased Space or any part or parts of it does not relieve or affect Tenant's:liability under this Agreement nor is the City liable for failure to re-lease, Reentry or taking possession ofthe Leased Space does not constitute an election on the City's part to terminate this Agreement unless a written notice of the election by the Commissioner is given to Tenant. Even if the City re-leases without termination, the Commissioner may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Agreement for any previous uncured Event of Default. For the purpose of re-leasing, the Commissioner may decorate or make repairs, changes, alterations or additions in or to the Leased Space to the extent deemed by the Commissioner to be desirable or convenient, and the cost of the decoration, repairs, changes, alterations or additions will be charged to and payable by Tenant as Additional Rent under this Agreement. Any sums collected by the City from any new Tenant obtained on account of Tenant will be credited against the balance of the Rent due under this Agreement. Tenant must pay the City monthly, on the days when payments of Rent would have been payable under this Agreement, the amount due under this Agreement less the amount obtained by the City from the new Tenant, if any.

J. require Tenant to terminate a Subcontractor that is causing breaches of this Agreement.
9.3     Commissioner's Right to Perform Tenant's Obligations. 'T
  1. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that Tenant has failed to cure in the;time provided, the Commissioner may, but is not obligated to, make any payment or perform any act required to be performed by Tenant under this Agreement in any manner reasonably deemed expedient by the Commissioner for the purpose of correcting the condition that gave rise to the Event of Default ("Self-help"). The Commissioner's inaction never constitutes a waiver of any right accruing to the City under this Agreement nor do the provisions of this section or any exercise by the Commissioner of Self-help under this Agreement cure any Event of Default. Any exercise of Self-help does not limit the right of any other City department or agency to enforce applicable .City ordinances or regulations.
  2. The Commissioner, in making any payment that Tenant has failed to pay:
  1. relating to taxes, may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate, without inquiry into the validity ofany tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim;
  2. for the discharge, compromise or settlement of any lien, may do so without inquiry as to the validity or amount ofany claim for lien that may be asserted; and

(iii)    in connection with the completion of construction, furnishing or equipping of the Leased Space or the licensing, operation or management ofthe Leased Space or the payment of any of its operating costs, may do so in such amounts and to such persons as the Commissioner may reasonably deem appropriate.
Nothing contained in this Agreement requires the Commissioner to advance monies for any purpose.
  1. If Tenant fails to perform its obligations under this Agreement to maintain and operate the Leased Space in accordance with this Agreement within 10 days following written notice from the Commissioner, or in the event of a serious health or safety concern or in an emergency (in which case Commissioner will give advance notice to the extent practical) the Commissioner may, but is not obligated to, direct the Department to perform or cause the performance of any such obligation in any manner deemed expedient by the Commissioner for the purpose of correcting the condition in question.
  2. All sums paid by the City under the provisions of this Section and all necessary and incidental costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees in connection with the performance ofany such act by the Commissioner, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the date of the City's payment until the date paid by Tenant, are deemed Additional Rent under this Agreement and are payable to the City within 10 days after demand therefor, or at the option ofthe Commissioner, may be added to any Rent then due or later becoming due under this Agreement, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums with interest at the Default Rate.
9.4     Effect of Default and Remedies
  1. Tenant, for itself and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under it (including creditors of all kinds), waives and surrenders all right and privilege that they or any of them might have under or by reason of any present or future law, to redeem the Leased Space or to have a continuance of this Agreement for the Term, as it may have been extended, after having been dispossessed or ejected by process of law or under the terms of this Agreement or after the termination of this Agreement as provided in this Agreement.
  2. Either party's waiver of any one right or remedy provided in this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy then or later available under this Agreement or otherwise. A failure by either party to take any action with respect to any Event of Default or violation ofany of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement by the other party will not in any respect limit, prejudice, diminish or constitute a waiver ofany rights of the either party to act with respect to any prior, contemporaneous or later violation or Event of Default or with respect to any continuation or repetition ofthe original violation or Event of Default. The acceptance by the City of payment for any period or periods after an Event of Default or violation ofany ofthe terms, conditions and covenants of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver or diminution of, nor create any limitation upon any right of the City under this Agreement to terminate this Agreement for subsequent violation or Event of Default, or for continuation or repetition of the original violation or

Event of Default. Neither party has any claim ofany kind against the other parry by reason of the other party's exercise of any of its rights as set forth in this Agreement or by reason of any act incidental or related to the exercise of rights.

The City may contest the process by any means available to it before the records or documents are submitted to a court or other third party.

  1. If Tenant (or, if Tenant is a joint venture or other entity comprised of other entities, any of the entities comprising Tenant) is a corporation whose shares are traded at arms-length on a public exchange, any Change in Ownership through a transaction or a series of related transactions in which such corporation is a party (e.g., a merger or stock issuance) and which involves 5% or more of the shares of Tenant's (or if Tenant is a joint venture or other entity comprised of other entities, of any of the entities comprising Tenant) stock is subject to the City's consent as set forth above. In that event, Tenant must provide the City with such prior notice of a Change in Ownership as is not prohibited by law or by a confidentiality agreement executed in connection with the proposed Change in Ownership. If such prior notice is not permitted, then Tenant must notify the City as soon as possible after the Change in Ownership to obtain the City's consent to the Change in Ownership, which consent the City may grant or deny in its sole discretion. If Tenant (or if Tenant is a joint venture or other entity comprised of other entities, of any of the entities comprising Tenant) is a publicly traded corporation, a Change in Ownership of less than 5% does not require consent as set forth in (ii) above unless a series of such transactions results in a cumulative Change in Ownership of 5% or more.
  2. Consent by the City to any Change in Ownership or Transfer does not relieve Tenant (or if Tenant is a joint venture, any of the entities comprising Tenant) from the requirement of obtaining consent from the City for any subsequent Change in Ownership or Transfer.
  3. Any Transfer or Change in Ownership made without the City's required prior consent is an Event of Default and does not relieve Tenant ofany of its obligations under this Agreement for the balance of the Term. This section applies to prohibit a Transfer, such as an assignment by a receiver or trustee in any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings or by operation of law. Under no circumstances will any failure by the Commissioner to act on any request by Tenant or to take any other action as provided in this Agreement be deemed or construed to constitute consent to the Tenant's request by the Commissioner or by the City Council.
  4. Any or all of the requests by Tenant for consents under this Section must be made in writing and provided to the Commissioner (a) at least 60 days prior to the proposed Transfer or Change in Ownership if the Commissioner's consent is required; and (b) at least 120 days prior to a proposed Transfer or Change in Ownership if the City Council's consent is required. All requests for consent must include copies ofthe proposed documents of Transfer or Change in Ownership, evidence ofthe financial condition, reputation and business experience ofthe proposed transferee, completed Economic Disclosure Statements and Affidavits for all involved parties in the form then required by the City, and such other documents as the City may reasonably require to evaluate the proposed Transfer or Change in Ownership.

All documents of Transfer or Change in Ownership must completely disclose any and all monetary considerations payable to Tenant in connection with the Transfer or Change in Ownership.
As a condition of the consent, the City may require a written acknowledgment from Tenant that, notwithstanding the proposed Transfer or Change in Ownership, transferor remains fully and completely liable for all obligations of Tenant under this Agreement; however, transferor shall remain so liable regardless of whether or not the City requests a written acknowledgement, except to the extent the City consents in writing to transferor not remaining liable and provided that an approved Transfer of all of transferor's interest in this Agreement will relieve transferor of all its obligations under this Agreement.
  1. If any Transfer or Change in Ownership under this Agreement occurs, whether or not prohibited by this section, the Commissioner may collect the Rent payable under this Agreement from any transferee of Tenant and in that event will apply the net amount collected to the amounts payable by Tenant under this Agreement without, by doing so, releasing Tenant from this Agreement or any of its obligations under this Agreement. If any Transfer or Change in Ownership occurs without the consent of the City and the City collects compensation from any transferee of Tenant and applies the net amount collected in the manner described in the preceding sentence, the actions by the City are not deemed to be waiver o f the covenant contained in this section and do not constitute acceptance ofthe transferee by the City.
  2. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the City in connection with any prohibited or permitted Transfer or Change in Ownership must be borne by Tenant and are payable to the City as Additional Rent.
  1. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent applicable, are deemed a part of any sublease or contract between Tenant and a subtenant or Subcontractor.
  2. Assignment of Subleases, Sublicenses and Subcontracts.
(i) Tenant shall assign to the City all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to each and every permitted sublease and sublicense and each and every Subcontract with a design and construction Subcontractor, now or later executed by Tenant in connection with the License or the Leased Space or any part of it. In connection with the assignment, Tenant must deliver all originally executed subleases, sublicenses and Subcontracts to the Commissioner. Any such assignment will become operative and effective only when and if the City accepts the assignment by giving written notice to Tenant and either this Agreement and the Term of this Agreement or Tenant's right to possession under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Article 9.

(ii) At the time, if any, that the assignment becomes effective as provided above, the subtenants or Subcontractors will be deemed to have waived all claims, suits, and causes of action against the City arising out of or relating to the period before the effective date of the assignment. Further, in no instance will the City be responsible for any claims by a subtenant or Subcontractor arising from or related to any fraud, misrepresentation, negligence or willful or intentionally tortious conduct by Tenant, its officials, employees, or agents.
E.      Leasehold Mortgage.
  1. Right to Mortgage. Tenant may secure financing or refinancing for the Improvements and in connection therewith may encumber its interest in this Agreement by a security instrument and/or pledge ("Leasehold Mortgage") in favor of a secured lender ("Leasehold Mortgagee").
  2. Notice & Cure. If the City sends to Tenant any default notice, whether or not such default is an Event of Default, the City will also send a copy thereof to Leasehold Mortgagee by prepaid registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by pre-paid nationally recognized overnight delivery service. It will be Tenant's and Leasehold Mortgagee's obligation to provide the City with written notice of Leasehold Mortgagee's name and address and written notice of any change thereof. No default notice to Tenant will be effective unless it is also sent to Leasehold Mortgagee as required herein. Leasehold Mortgagee may cure any default, but has no obligation to do so. The City will accept Leasehold Mortgagee's performance as if Tenant had performed. The City may exercise any remedies it may have by reason of the default only if the default is not cured within the longer of any cure period provided to Tenant or within thirty (30) days of the default notice sent to Leasehold Mortgagee, or such longer period as may reasonably be required, provided that Leasehold Mortgagee or Tenant diligently pursues such cure to completion within such reasonable period of time. Any action by Leasehold Mortgagee to cure any Tenant default or otherwise to exercise Tenant's rights under this Agreement will not be deemed to be an assumption by Leasehold Mortgagee of Tenant's obligations unless Leasehold Mortgagee ^forecloses and succeeds to Tenant's interest in this Agreement or expressly assumes such obligations in writing. The City will also send Leasehold Mortgagee a copy of any notice of termination, reentry, repossession, distrain, or the like that it sends to Tenant.
  3. Succession & Assignment. If Leasehold Mortgagee forecloses and succeeds to Tenant's interest in this Agreement, the City will thereafter accept Leasehold Mortgagee as the Tenant under this Agreement, and this Agreement will continue in full force and effect, provided that there is no existing default under this Agreement or the Leasehold Mortgagee undertakes to cure any such default as provided above. The City will not unreasonably refuse to allow Leasehold Mortgagee to assign its interest in this Agreement, such that the assignee will become Tenant hereunder in substitution of Leasehold Mortgagee.
  4. Changes. This Agreement will not be amended, terminated, surrendered, or waived, in whole or in part, by any exercise ofany option or election by Tenant, or by the giving of any notice

CONCESSION Tj'AM Ai i<! I Ml Nl AIRPORT PLAZA
by Tenant, or by Tenant signing any amendment, termination, surrender, or waiver, unless such amendment, termination, surrender, or waiver is assented to in writing by Leasehold Mortgagee. Any such attempted amendment, termination, surrender, or waiver without such assent is void.
  1. Limitation of Liability. Leasehold Mortgagee will be liable to perform only the obligations imposed on Tenant in this Agreement during any period when Leasehold Mortgagee is in possession or ownership of the leasehold estate created by this Agreement.
  2. Subordination. The City hereby subordinates its statutory and any other landlord's lien to the lien of Leasehold Mortgagee, as well as any lien on any subtenant rents that may be assigned to Leasehold Mortgagee.
  3. Insurance. Leasehold Mortgagee may be the loss payee under Tenant's policies on condition that the insurance proceeds are to be applied as required under this Agreement.
  4. Reliance. Leasehold Mortgagee may rely on Section 10.5(E) as third party beneficiary.
10.6 Compliance with Laws. Tenant must at all times observe and comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, court orders and executive or administrative orders and directives of the federal, state and local government, now existing or later in effect (whether or not the law also requires compliance by other parties), including the Americans with Disabilities Act and Environmental Laws, that may in any manner affect the performance of this Agreement (collectively, "Laws"), and must not use the Leased Space, or allow the Leased Space to be used, in violation ofany Laws or in any manner that would impose liability on the City or Tenant under any Laws. Tenant must notify the City within seven days of receiving notice from a competent governmental authority that Tenant or any of its Subcontractors may have violated any Laws. Subject to Section 6.4 hereof, provisions required by any Law to be inserted in this Agreement are deemed inserted in this Agreement whether or not they appear in this Agreement or, upon application by either party, this Agreement will be amended to make the insertion; however, in no event will the failure to insert the provisions before or after this Agreement is signed prevent its enforcement: Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant covenants that it will comply with all Laws, including but not limited to the following:
A. In connection with Section 2-92-320 ofthe Municipal Code, Tenant has executed an Economic Disclosure Statement and Affidavit which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 10 and which contains a certification as required under the Illinois Criminal Code, 720 ILCS 5/33E, and under the Illinois Municipal Code, 65 ILCS 5/8-10-1 et seq.

Tenant understands and will abide by all provisions of Chapters 2-55 and 2-56 of the Municipal Code. Tenant must inform all Subcontractors of this provision and require under each Subcontract compliance herewith by each Subcontractor as to each such Subcontractor and all of its officers, directors, agents, partners and employees.

During the period while this Agreement is executory, Tenant's or any Subcontractor's violation of the Waste Sections with respect to the Leased Space, constitutes an Event of Default. Such breach and Event of Default entitles the City to all remedies under the Agreement, at law or in equity. This section does not limit the Tenant's and its Subcontractors' duty to comply with all Environmental Laws, in effect now or later, and whether or not they appear in this Agreement. Non-compliance with these terms and conditions will be an Event of Default and may further affect the Tenant's eligibility for future City agreements.

If the title review or survey reveals any encroachments, overlaps, boundary disputes or other defects which render title unmarketable or which Tenant reasonably determines would interfere with Tenant's intended development or use, or if the title insurance commitment shows any exceptions which render title unmarketable or which Tenant reasonably determines would interfere with Tenant's intended development or use, Tenant shall notify the City in writing thereof before expiration of the 30 day period. The City shall have the right, but not the obligation, within sixty (60) days of the notice, to cure such defects and exceptions (or to make arrangements with the title insurer for the removal of such exceptions). If the defects are not cured or if the exceptions are not cured (or removed) by the end ofthe sixty day period, Tenant may elect to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the City within fifteen (15) days after expiration of the sixty day period.

ACDBE SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND RELATED FORMS
 
SPECIAL CONDITIONS REGARDING AIRPORT CONCESSIONS DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (ACDBE)
COMMITMENT
 
 
I.       POLICY AND PROGRAM
It is the policy of the City of Chicago ("City") not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex or national origin in the award or performance of airport concession agreements. Because the City is a recipient of Airport Improvement Program funds from the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"), the concessions at the City's airports are subject to 49 CFR Part 23, Participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise in Airport Concessions ("Part 23"). The City will not, directly or indirectly, through contractual or other arrangements, use criteria or methods of administration that have the effect of defeating or impeding the accomplishment of the objectives of Part 23. Compliance with Part 23 requirements will not diminish or supplant the Tenant's obligations to comply with nondiscrimination laws as required elsewhere in the Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of these Special Conditions and the requirements of Part 23, the requirements of Part 23 shall prevail. Part 23 is available on-line at www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_06/49cfr23_06.html.
 
It is further the policy of the City, in accordance with the requirements of Part 23, that Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprises ("ACDBEs") have the maximum opportunity to participate fully in the City's airport concession program. As used throughout these Special Conditions, the term "ACDBE" means an entity that has been certified as such under the Illinois Unified Certification Program ("UCP"). If a firm is not certified by the Illinois UCP as an ACDBE in accordance with the standards in Part 23, the firm's participation is not counted for Part 23 purposes. ACDBEs certified by other jurisdictions are not considered certified ACDBEs for purposes of this Agreement and will not be counted as such unless they have also been certified by the Illinois UCP, unless the requirements of Part 23 are amended to permit such counting.
 
In accordance with Part 23, Subparts B and D, the City submitted an ACDBE Program and ACDBE Goal for approval by the FAA. The FAA-approved ACDBE Program and ACDBE Goal are available upon request. In the event of any amendments or revisions to Part 23 (or any related or superseding regulations), these Special Conditions shall be subject to such revised regulations and any City-promulgated program, regulations, or goals established thereunder. Upon request by the City, this Agreement shall be amended to replace these Special Conditions with revised Special Conditions that reflect the then-current federal regulations, if necessary.
 
The following assurances are required to be included in the Agreement by 49 CFR §23.9(c). Tenant is deemed to be the "concessionaire or contractor" referenced.
 
1.       This agreement is subject to the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation's regulations, 49 CFR Part 23. The concessionaire or contractor
 
1
 
 
Rev 2011 04 01
 
 
SPECIAL CONDITIONS REGARDING AIRPORT CONCESSIONS DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (ACDBE)
COMMITMENT
 
agrees that it will not discriminate against any business owner because of the owner's race, color, national origin or sex in connection with the award or performance of any concession agreement, management contract, or subcontract, purchase order or other agreement covered by 49 CFR Part 23.
 
2. The concessionaire or contractor agrees to include the above statements in any subsequent concession agreement or contract covered by 49 CFR Part 23, that it enters and cause those businesses to similarly include the statements in further agreements.
 
II. GOALS
The City has established, and the Federal Aviation Administration has approved, aspirational goals for ACDBE participation in its airport concessions program as required by Part 23, Subpart D. Generally, ACDBE participation in airport concessions is measured as a percentage of annual gross receipts earned by the concessions. Details on counting ACDBE participation are found in 49 CFR §§23.53 (rental car concessions) and 23.55 (non-rental car concessions) and described further below:
 
Rental Car Concessions. Due to the lack of ACDBE rental car companies, the national or regional nature of rental car industry procurement practices and a general lack of reliable historical data, the City has determined that the aspirational goal for ACDBE participation in rental car concessions is 0%. Nevertheless, rental car concessionaires are encouraged to use all reasonable efforts to maximize procurement of goods and services from ACDBEs that may be certified in the Illinois UCP or the UCPs of other states.
 
Non-Rental Car Concessions. The City has determined that the appropriate aspirational goal for ACDBE participation in non-rental car concessions is 40%. Historical data regarding ACDBE participation at the City's airports indicates that this aspirational goal should consist of a race-neutral goal of 15% and a race-conscious goal of 25%.
 
The foregoing aspirational goals are for the City's concessions program as a whole. With respect to this Agreement, the City may or may not have established a contract-specific ACDBE aspirational goal at the time that the City issued the Request for Proposals for the concession ("RFP"). If the RFP included a contract-specific goal, Tenant's proposal either included participation by ACDBE(s) that met or exceeded the contract-specific goal or Tenant demonstrated "good faith efforts" to meet that contract-specific goal but was unable to do so. Guidance on "good faith efforts" can be found in Appendix A to 49 C.F.R. Part 26. Appendix A as it appears on the date of the Agreement is incorporated in Section VI. A. of these Special Conditions, but Tenant is responsible for compliance with federal regulations as they may be amended from time to time.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS REGARDING AIRPORT CONCESSIONS DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (ACDBE)
COMMITMENT
 
III.     TENANT'S ACDBE COMMITMENT
  1. INITIAL ACDBE COMMITMENT
  1. Rental Cars. As provided in II above, there is no ACDBE participation goal for rental car concession agreements. Consequently, rental car concessions are not required to commit to a percentage participation by ACDBEs in the concession, but rental car companies are strongly encouraged to utilize ACDBEs to the maximum extent possible in the procurement of goods and services.
  2. Non-Rental Cars. The extent and nature of the ACDBE participation commitment by Tenant is documented in Schedules B, C and/or D attached to these Special Conditions ("ACDBE Commitment"). As used these Special Conditions and in Schedules B, C and D, "Tenant" means the entity with whom the City has entered into a concession agreement, whether that entity is referred to in that agreement as "Tenant", "Licensee" or other term.
 
If there is ACDBE participation in the form of a joint venture member, the attached Schedule B sets forth the essential terms of that joint venture participation, including a \   representation as to the value of the ACDBE's activities in operating the concession as a
      -r   percentage of gross revenues, and a copy of the joint venture agreement is attached to
Schedule B. If there is ACDBE participation is in the form of ACDBE(s) acting as sublicensee(s) or subcontractor(s), it is documented in Schedules C and D. Schedule(s) C is the commitment by the ACDBE(s) to participate by providing the goods or services indicated, and Schedule D is the commitment by the non-ACDBE to such participation by the ACDBE(s).
  1. CHANGES IN ACDBE PARTICIPATION
Arbitrary changes by the Tenant in its ACDBE Commitment are prohibited; however, the foregoing is not intended to preclude Tenant from exceeding its ACDBE commitment. Further, after entering into a joint venture agreement, sublicense or subcontract (collectively, "ACDBE agreement") with each approved ACDBE, Tenant and each ACDBE must thereafter neither terminate the ACDBE agreement, reduce the scope of the ACDBE's participation in the concession, nor decrease the compensation to the ACDBE, as applicable, without in each instance receiving the prior written approval of the City. Tenant must promptly notify the Commissioner of any proposed change in an ACDBE agreement and submit a copy of the proposed amendment to the ACDBE agreement. In any event, the collective participation of the previously approved ACDBE(s) must either continue to contribute to the concession at least the value ofthe ACDBE Commitment, as stated in terms

Rev 2011 04 01
 
 
SPECIAL CONDITIONS REGARDING AIRPORT CONCESSIONS DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (ACDBE)
COMMITMENT
 
of a percentage of gross revenues., or Tenant must use good faith efforts to increase ACDBE participation or to obtain substitute or additional ACDBE(s) pursuant to (D) below to maintain the ACDBE Commitment, except as provided in (C) below. Failure to comply with the ACDBE Commitment is an event of default under the Agreement. If the proposed change in ACDBE participation is approved by the City, Tenant and ACDBE(s) must complete revised Schedules B, C or D, as applicable.
 
 
C.      INVOLUNTARY CHANGES IN ACDBE PARTICIPATION
  1. In the event that it appears that Tenant will not comply with its ACDBE Commitment because: (i) an ACDBE has defaulted in its performance under the ACDBE agreement through no fault of Tenant, (ii) an ACDBE is decertified by the Illinois UCP through no fault of Tenant and the ACDBE's participation can no longer be counted, (iii) the ACDBE's certified area of specialty has been changed through no fault of Tenant and the ACDBE's participation can no longer be counted, or (iv) an ACDBE is otherwise unable or unwilling to perform its obligations through no fault of Tenant, then Tenant must promptly notify the City, specifying one or more of the foregoing reasons as the cause for potential non-compliance with the ACDBE Commitment. If the City concurs with the specified reason. Tenant shall use good faith efforts as described in Section VI below to replace the ACDBE's participation with-participation by another ACDBE. As provided in Section VI, Tenant must demonstrate those good faith efforts to the satisfaction ofthe Commissioner. In the event that Tenant wishes to replace an ACDBE or reduce an ACDBE's participation for reasons other than the foregoing, Tenant must us good faith efforts to replace the ACDBE's participation with participation by an ACDBE that is acceptable to the City so that total ACDBE participation meets or exceeds the ACDBE Commitment, and Tenant's good faith efforts to do so are not sufficient. Failure to comply with the foregoing shall be an event of default under the Agreement.
  2. Tenant's reasons for termination of an ACDBE's participation must be fully explained and supported with adequate documentation. Stated reasons which will NOT be acceptable include: Replacement firm has been recruited to perform the same function under terms more advantageous to the Tenant; issues about performance by the committed ACDBE were disputed and no reasonable effort has been taken to have the issues resolved or mediated satisfactorily; and an ACDBE has requested reasonable price escalation which may be justified due to unforeseen circumstances.

COMMITMENT
  1. ACDBE SUBSTITUTION AND ADDITIONAL ACDBEs
If Tenant identifies a substitute, replacement or additional ACDBE for the City's approval, Tenant's request for approval shall include the name, address, and principal official of the proposed ACDBE; the nature and essential terms of the ACDBE agreement under which the ACDBE will participate; and a letter of intent signed by Tenant and the ACDBE to enter into such an ACDBE agreement upon approval by the City. Tenant must provide such other affidavits and documents as the City may request to evaluate the request. The City will evaluate and respond to the submitted documentation within a reasonable time after the submittal of a complete request. The response may be in the form of approving the request, requiring more information, or requiring an interview.
 
Actual use of a substitute, replacement or additional ACDBE should not be made by Tenant before City approval is given. An ACDBE agreement between Tenant and the ACDBE must be executed within the time specified by the City, and a fully executed copy of the ACDBE agreement must be submitted immediately to the City.
  1. AGREEMENT EXTENSIONS, ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBLEASES
If the Agreement contains .a term extension or if the Tenant proposes an assignment or sublease ofthe Agreement, as a condition precedent to the City's consent to such extension, assignment or sublease, the City and Tenant will revisit and possibly adjust the Tenant's ACDBE Commitment to reflect any possible change in ACDBE availability and to ensure compliance with Part 23 as it may have been amended in the interim. Tenant will be required to provide amended Schedules D, B, or C, along with amended ACDBE agreements, to reflect any required changes to the ACDBE Commitment or provide documentation of good faith efforts to achieve increased ACDBE participation.
 
 
IV.     COUNTING ACDBE PARTICIPATION
 
A.      NON-RENTAL CAR CONCESSIONS
In order for their participation in the concession to be counted and reported to the FAA, ACDBEs must perform a commercially useful function, as defined in 49 CFR §23.55(a). The work performed or gross receipts earned by a firm after its ACDBE eligibility has been removed are not counted, except as provided in 49 CFR §23.55(j). Costs incurred in connection with the renovation, repair, or construction of a concession facility (sometimes referred to as the "buildout") are not counted. Otherwise, ACDBE participation in non-rental car concessions is counted as follows:

  1. The entire amount of fees or commissions charged by an ACDBE firm for a bona fide service, provided that the City determines this amount to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily paid for similar services.

  2. If a rental car company has a national or regional contract with an ACDBE, it may count a pro-rated share ofthe amount of that contract toward the goals of each airport covered by the contract as provided in §23.55(f).
 
Rental car companies may also count ACDBE direct participation through direct ownership arrangements, but such arrangements are not required.
 
 
V.      CERTIFICATION, RECORDS, REPORTS AND MONITORING
  1. CERTIFICATION
Copies of letters of certification from a member of the Illinois UCP for each ACDBE that is part of Tenant's ACDBE Commitment must be attached to their respective Schedule C or - Schedule B. All letters of certification issued by the City of Chicago include a statement of the ACDBE firm's area of specialization.
 
Each ACDBE must promptly notify Tenant if there is any change in the ACDBE's certification status. Tenant, in turn, must notify Commissioner of any change in an ACDBE's certification status and provide a copy of any correspondence from the certifying agency regarding the status of an ACDBE's certification.
 
The ACDBE's scope of work, as detailed by Schedule B, C or D, must conform to its stated area of specialization. If, during the course of this Agreement, Tenant proposes to amend Schedules B, C or D so that an ACDBE performs additional work or supplies additional goods, materials or services not covered by its area of certification, the ACDBE must request an expansion of its certification scope for such work, goods, materials or services in order to count toward the ACDBE's participation in the concession. The request to expand the scope of the ACDBE's certification, together with all documentation required by the City to process that request, must be received by the City at least 60 days in advance of the proposed date to perform such additional work or supply such additional goods, materials or services.
  1. RECORDKEEPING
The Tenant must maintain records of all relevant data with respect to the utilization of ACDBEs, retaining these records for a period of at least three years after termination or expiration of the Agreement. Tenant grants full access to these records to the City of

SPECIAL CONDITIONS REGARDING AIRPORT CONCESSIONS DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (ACDBE)
COMMITMENT
 
Chicago, Federal or State authorities, the US Department of Justice, or their duly authorized representatives.
  1. REPORTING
Tenant must file ACDBE utilization reports (monthly if non-rental car and quarterly if rental car), together with its concession license fee payment, delineating for the month or quarter, as applicable, and cumulatively for the year-to-date: (i) contribution by ACDBE joint venture member(s) or sublicensee(s) to Tenant's gross receipts and (ii) payments to ACDBE subcontractor(s). Each ACDBE utilization report must be signed by an authorized officer or representative ofthe Tenant.
  1. MONITORING
The City will, from time to time during the term of the Agreement, conduct investigations and interviews to monitor and verify that ACDBE participation in the concession meets or exceeds the ACDBE Commitment. Tenant must give, upon request, earnest and prompt cooperation to the City in submitting to inspections and interviews, in allowing entry-to places of business, in providing further documentation, and in requiring the cooperation of its ACDBEs. [,
 
If the City determines that an ACDBE's actual role or responsibilities do not comply with the representations made by Tenant and the ACDBE in Schedules B, C or D, or that Tenant and/or ACDBE have misrepresented to the City either the payments to the ACDBE or the value of the ACDBE's participation in a joint venture, it shall be an event of default under the Agreement."
  1. JOINT VENTURES.
 
When Tenant is a joint venture, additional reporting is required. Tenant must submit a copy of the joint venture agreement, and must submit within ten business days of execution, copies of any updates, changes, or amendments to the joint venture agreement. The joint venture agreement must clearly define the participation of each party in the contribution of property, capital, efforts, skills and knowledge.
 
In addition to providing information about the joint venture agreement itself, information Tenant must submit to the City on an ongoing basis includes but is not limited to:

  3. Minutes, agendas, and attendance rosters of meetings of the joint venture partners, to be provided for review by the City no less than once per year.
  4. Detailed valuation of the distinct portion of the work performed by the ACDBE participant(s).
 
The City may require Tenant to submit additional documentation as the City deems necessary to comply with FAA regulations or guidance, or otherwise as evidence to substantiate the value of the ACDBE's contribution or the amount of the ACDBE's participation. If the Tenant fails to submit satisfactory documentation, it is an event of default under the Agreement.
 
 
 
VI.     GOOD FAITH EFFORTS
 
 
A. EXAMPLES
Examples of "good faith efforts" are described below and in 49 CFR §23.25,49 CFR §26.53, and Appendix A to 49 CFR Part 26. As provided in §23.25, §26.53 and Appendix A to 49 C.F.R. Part 26, the following are examples of documented actions that the City may take into consideration in determining whether Tenant made good faith efforts:
  1. Soliciting through all reasonable and available means (e.g., advertising and/or written notices) the interest of all certified ACDBEs who have the capability to perform work or services or to supply goods relevant to the concession. Tenant must solicit this interest within sufficient time to allow the ACDBEs to respond to the solicitation. Tenant must determine with certainty if the ACDBEs are interested by taking appropriate steps to follow up initial solicitations.
  2. Soliciting the work, services or goods in portions that increase the likelihood that an ACDBE can perform the work or services or provide the goods. This includes, when appropriate, breaking out contract items into economically feasible units to facilitate ACDBE participation, even when the concessionaire might otherwise prefer to perform these work items with its own forces.
 
10
 
 
 
 
 
 
Rev 2011 04 01
 
 
SPECIAL CONDITIONS REGARDING AIRPORT CONCESSIONS DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (ACDBE)
COMMITMENT
  1. Providing interested ACDBEs with adequate information about the operations, management and requirements ofthe concession in a timely manner to assist them in responding to a solicitation.
  2. Negotiating in good faith with interested ACDBEs. Evidence of such negotiation includes the names, addresses and telephone numbers of ACDBEs that were considered; a description of the information provided regarding the opportunities selected for possible ACDBE participation; and evidence as to why agreement could not be reached for ACDBEs to perform the work.
 
NOTE: A concessionaire using good business judgment would consider a number of factors in negotiating with potential business partners or subcontractors, including ACDBEs, and would take a firm's price and capabilities as well as contract goals into consideration. However, the fact that there may be some additional costs involved in finding and using ACDBEs is not in itself sufficient reason for a failure to meet the ACDBE Commitment, as long as such costs are reasonable. Concessionaires are not, however, required to accept higher quotes from ACDBEs if the price difference in comparison to non-ACDBEs is excessive or unreasonable.
  1. Not rejecting ACDBEs as being unqualified without sound reasons based on a thorough investigation of their capabilities. The ACDBE's standing within its industry, membership in specific groups, organization or associations and political or social affiliation (for example union vs. non-union employee status) are not legitimate causes for rejection.
  2. Making efforts to assist interested ACDBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit or insurance as required by the City or Tenant.
  3. Making efforts to assist interested ACDBEs in obtaining necessary equipment, supplies, materials, or related assistance or services.
  4. Effectively using the services of available minority/women community organizations and contractors' groups; local, state and federal minority/women business assistance offices; and other organizations as allowed on a case-by-case basis to provide assistance in the recruitment and placement of ACDBEs.
 
 
B. DOCUMENTATION
Whenever Tenant is required to demonstrate good faith efforts by Part 23 or these Special Conditions, Tenant must provide supporting documentation to the satisfaction of the Commissioner. This means documentation to show that Tenant took all necessary and
 
11
 
 
Rev 2011 04 01
 
 
SPECIAL CONDITIONS REGARDING AIRPORT CONCESSIONS DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (ACDBE)
COMMITMENT
 
reasonable steps which by their scope, intensity and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to obtain compliance, even if not fully successful. The following types of documentation, as applicable to the situation, will be considered by the City in determining whether Tenant has made good faith efforts:
  1. A listing of all ACDBE firms that were contacted that includes:
    1. names, address and telephone numbers of ACDBE firms contacted;
    2. date and time of contact;
      1. method of contact (written, telephone, transmittal of facsimile documents, etc.);
    3. name of the person contacted.
  1. Copies of letters or any other evidence of mailing that substantiates outreach to ACDBE vendors that include:
    1. concession identification and location;
    2. descriptions/classification/commodity of work, services or goods for which quotations were sought; and
    3. date, time and location for submittal of bids or proposals.
  1. Detailed statement which summarizes direct negotiations with appropriate ACDBE firms and indicates why negotiations were unsuccessful.
  2. Affirmation that good faith efforts have been demonstrated by choosing opportunities likely to be performed by ACDBEs by not imposing any limiting conditions which were not mandatory for all potential bidders\proposers; or denying the benefits ordinarily conferred for the type of opportunity that was solicited.
  3. Copies of proposed portions of the work, services or goods to be performed or provided by ACDBEs in order to increase the likelihood of ACDBE participation.
  4. Evidence that Tenant negotiated in good faith with interested ACDBEs.
  5. Evidence that Tenant did not reject ACDBEs as being unqualified without sound reasons based on a thorough investigation of their capabilities.
 
12
 
 
 
Rev 2011 04 01
 
 
SPECIAL CONDITIONS REGARDING AIRPORT CONCESSIONS DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (ACDBE)
COMMITMENT
  1. Evidence that Tenant made efforts to assist interested ACDBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit or insurance, as required by the City or the concessionaire.
  2. Evidence that Tenant made efforts to assist interested ACDBEs in obtaining necessary equipment, supplies, materials or related assistance or services.
  3. Evidence that Tenant has provided timely notice of the opportunity to at least 50 percent of the applicable ACDBEs listed in the Illinois UCP Directory. The City may contact the ACDBEs identified by Tenant for verification of such notification.
  4. Evidence that ACDBE participation is excessively costly. ACDBE participation will be deemed excessively costly when the ACDBE bid or proposal exceeds the average price quoted by others by more than 15 percent. In order to establish that an ACDBE's quote is excessively costly, Tenant must provide the following information:
  1. A detailed statement of the opportunity identified for ACDBE participation for which Tenant asserts the ACDBE quote(s) were excessively costly (in excess of 15 percent higher).
  2. A listing of all potential business partners or subcontractors, contacted for a quotation on that opportunity.
  3. Prices quoted by all such potential business partners or subcontractors for that opportunity.
  4. Other documentation that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the City that the ACDBE quotes are excessively costly, even though not in excess of 15 percent higher than the average price quoted.
 
 
C.      ADMINISTRATIVE RECONSIDERATION
1. For the purposes of this Agreement, the City has delegated the responsibility for making the determination regarding a Tenant's good faith efforts to the Department of Aviation. The determination shall be based upon the Department's review of the documentation that the Tenant has timely submitted. Within five days of being informed by the Department that Tenant has not documented sufficient good faith efforts, Tenant may request administrative reconsideration. The request must be made in writing to the following official:

Department of Aviation 10510 West ZemkeRoad Chicago. Illinois 60666 Attention: Commissioner
 
NOTE: The Commissioner may not have played any role in the original determination that the Tenant did not make or timely document sufficient good faith efforts. The Commissioner may appoint a reconsideration officer, who did not play any role in the original determination, to act in his or her stead.
 
with copies to:

2. As part of this reconsideration, the Tenant will have the opportunity to provide written documentation or argument concerning the issue of whether it made adequate good faith efforts. The Tenant will have the opportunity to meet in person with the reconsideration officer to discuss whether it did so. The Department will send the Tenant a written decision on reconsideration, explaining the basis for finding that the Tenant did or did not make adequate good faith efforts.

VII.    NON-COMPLIANCE AND DAMAGES
  1. NON-COMPLIANCE GENERALLY
Tenant's failure to comply with these Special Conditions constitutes a material breach of the Agreement and entitles the City to declare an event of default. If Tenant fails to cure the default within the time allowed under the default provisions of the Agreement, the City may exercise those remedies provided for in the Agreement, at law or in equity, including termination of the Agreement. In addition to any remedies specified in the Agreement, at the City's option the term of this Agreement will become month-to-month until the City locates a new Tenant. At the City's option, any improvements added by Tenant must remain for the new tenant at no cost to the City or the new tenant.
  1. NON-COMPLIANCE WITH ACDBE AGREEMENT
If Tenant has not complied with the requirements of an ACDBE agreement, the affected ACDBE may seek to recover from Tenant damages suffered by the ACDBEs as a result of such non-compliance. Such disputes may impact the quality of concessions at the City's airports and/or the ability of other airport tenants to solicit ACDBE participation. Therefore, Tenant consents to have any disputes between Tenant and affected ACDBEs resolved by binding arbitration before an independent arbitrator other than the City, with reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, being recoverable by the prevailing party in accordance with any applicable regulations. This provision is intended for the benefit of all ACDBEs affected by Tenant's failure to comply with ACDBE agreements and grants ACDBEs specific third party beneficiary rights. In cases deemed appropriate by the City, a dispute may lead to the withholding of sums that the City may owe Tenant until the City receives a copy of the final arbitration decision, but in no event will Tenant be excused from making any payments due to the City during the pendency of a dispute. Noncompliance or non-cooperation with the City may affect continued eligibility to enter into future contracting arrangements with the City.
