SECTION 18. PERFORMANCE AND BREACH.
  1. Time ofthe Essence. Time is of the essence in the Developer's performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
  2. Permitted Delays. The Developer shall not be considered in breach of its obligations under this Agreement in the event of a delay due to unforeseeable causes beyond the Developer's control and without the Developer's fault or negligence, including but not limited to, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of the United States government, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, embargoes, material shortages, and unusually severe weather or delays of contractors or subcontractors due to such causes.

    1. Breach.
  1. Generally. If the Developer defaults in performing its obligations under this Agreement, the City shall deliver written notice of such default, after which the Developer shall have a 45-day cure period to remedy such default. If the default is not capable of being cured within the 45-day period, then provided the Developer has commenced to cure the default and is diligently proceeding to cure the default within the 45-day period, and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure through to completion, then the 45-day period shall be extended for the length of time that is reasonably necessary to cure the default. If the default is not cured in the time period provided for herein, the City may institute such proceedings at law or in equity as may be necessary or desirable to cure and remedy the default, including but not limited to, proceedings to compel specific performance.
 
No notice or cure period shall apply to a failure to close by the respective dates as set forth in Section 3 herein. Unless the failure to close is due to circumstances described in Section 18.2. above or caused by a breach by the City under the terms of this Agreement, such failure shall constitute an immediate "Event of Default". Failure to close by the dates set forth in Section 3 shall entitle the City to terminate this Agreement.
  1. Event of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" after written notice from the City (if required):
 
1. The Developer fails to perform any obligation of the Developer under this Agreement; which default is not cured pursuant to Section 18.3.a.; or
 
 
11
 
  1. The Developer makes or furnishes a warranty, representation, statement or certification to the City (whether in this Agreement, an Economic Disclosure Form, or another document) which is not true and correct, which default is not cured pursuant to Section 18.3.a.: or
  2. A petition is filed by or against the Developer under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar state or federal law, whether now or hereafter existing, which is not vacated, stayed or set aside within thirty (30) days after filing; or
  3. Except as excused by Section 18.2 above, the Developer abandons or substantially suspends the construction work for a period of time greater than 60 days (no notice or cure period shall apply); or
  4. The Developer fails to comply with the operating covenant set forth in Section 13.3 (no notice or cure period shall apply); or
  5. Unless being contested in good faith by the Developer, the Developer fails to timely pay real estate taxes or assessments affecting the Property or suffers or permits any levy or attachment, material suppliers' or mechanics' lien, or any other lien or encumbrance unauthorized by this Agreement to attach to the Property, which default is not cured pursuant to Section 18.3(a); or
  6. The Developer makes an assignment, pledge, unpermitted financing, encumbrance, transfer or other disposition in violation of this Agreement (no notice or cure period shall apply); or
  7. The Developer's financial condition or operations adversely change to such an extent that would materially and adversely affect the Developer's ability to complete the Project, which default is not cured pursuant to Section 18.3.a.; or
  8. The Developer fails to perform, keep or observe any of the other covenants, promises, agreements, or obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to, the covenants set forth in Sections 13 and 17 herein, or any other written agreement entered into with the City with respect to this Project, which default is not cured pursuant to Section 18.3.a.; or
  9. Failure to close by the Outside Closing Date, unless the Department in its sole discretion extends the Outside Closing Date in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement; or
  10. Failure to commence or completion construction in accordance with the timeframes set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement.
 
12
 
 
12. Failure to either (a) timely apply with the Board of Review for Cook County, Illinois, for an exemption from real estate property taxes, or (b) timely pay real estate property taxes, which default is not cured pursuant to Section 18.3.a.
  1. Prior to Conveyance. Prior to Closing, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and the default is not cured in the time period provided herein, the City may terminate this Agreement, and institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity against the Developer.
  2. After Conveyance. If an Event of Default occurs after the Closing but prior to the issuance ofthe Phase II Certificate of Completion, and the default is not cured in the time period provided for in this Section 18.3, the City may terminate this Agreement and exercise any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to re-enter and take possession of the Property, terminate the estate conveyed to the Developer, and direct the Title Company to record the Reconveyance Deed for the purpose of revesting title to the Property in the City (the "Right of Reverter"); provided, however, the City's Right of Reverter shall be limited by, and shall not defeat, render invalid, or limit in any way, the lien of any mortgage authorized by this Agreement. If the Reconveyance Deed is recorded by the Title Company, the Developer shall be responsible for all real estate taxes and assessments which accrued during the period the Property was owned by the Developer, and shall cause the release of all liens or encumbrances placed on the Property during the period of time the Property was owned by the Developer.

If title to the Property revests in the City pursuant to the Right of Reverter, the Developer shall be responsible for all real estate taxes and assessments which accrued during the period the Property was owned by the Developer, and shall cause the release of all liens or encumbrances placed on the Property during the period of time the Property was owned by the Developer. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, prior to its exercise of its Right of Reverter, the City shall provide written notice to the Developer of its intent to exercise its Right of Reverter, and the Developer shall have an additional ninety (90) days to cure the applicable Event of Default.
 
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the City's Right of Reverter shall terminate on the date that is ten (10) years after the date on which the City issues the Phase II Certificate of Completion.
  1. Waiver and Estoppel. Any delay by the City in instituting or prosecuting any actions or proceedings or otherwise asserting its rights shall not operate as a waiver of such rights or operate to deprive the City of or limit such rights in any way. No waiver made by the City with respect to any specific default by the Developer shall be construed,
 
13
 
 
considered or treated as a waiver of the rights of the City with respect to any other defaults of the Developer.
SECTION 19.    CONFLICT OF INTEREST; CITY'S AND DEVELOPER'S REPRESENTATIVES NOT INDIVIDUALLY LIABLE.
 
The Developer warrants that no agent, official, or employee of the City shall have any personal interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement or the Property, nor shall any such agent, official or employee participate in any decision relating to this Agreement which affects his or her personal interests or the interests of any entity or association in which he or she is directly or indirectly interested. No agent, official, or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Developer or any successor in interest in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Developer or successor or on any obligation under the terms of this Agreement.

This indemnification shall survive any termination of this Agreement (regardless of the reason for such termination).
SECTION 21. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
 
21.1 "AS IS" SALE. THE CITY MAKES NO COVENANT, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND, AS TO THE STRUCTURAL, PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY OR THE SUITABILITY OF THE PROPERTY FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER. THE DEVELOPER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS HAD ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT AND EVALUATE THE STRUCTURAL, PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION AND RISKS OF THE PROPERTY AND ACCEPTS THE RISK THAT ANY INSPECTION MAY NOT DISCLOSE ALL MATERIAL MATTERS AFFECTING THE PROPERTY. THE DEVELOPER AGREES TO ACCEPT THE PROPERTY IN ITS "AS IS,"
 
14
 
 
"WHERE IS" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" CONDITION AT CLOSING WITHOUT ANY COVENANT, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND, AS TO THE STRUCTURAL, PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY OR THE SUITABILITY OF THE PROPERTY FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER. THE DEVELOPER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS RELYING SOLELY UPON ITS OWN INSPECTION AND OTHER DUE DILIGENCE ACTIVITIES AND NOT UPON ANY INFORMATION (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES OR REPORTS OF ANY KIND) PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OR ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES WITH RESPECT THERETO. THE DEVELOPER AGREES THAT IT IS ITS SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND OBLIGATION TO PERFORM AT ITS EXPENSE ANY ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) AND TAKE SUCH OTHER ACTION AS IS NECESSARY TO PUT THE PROPERTY IN A CONDITION WHICH IS SUITABLE FOR ITS INTENDED USE. "Environmental Remediation Work" shall mean all investigation, sampling, monitoring, testing, reporting, removal (including, excavation, transportation and disposal), response, storage, remediation, treatment and other activities necessary for the performance of the Project, all in accordance with all requirements of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, and all applicable Laws, including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws.
  1. Right of Entry. Pursuant to the Developer's request, the City previously granted the Developer the right, at its sole cost and expense, to enter the Property pursuant one or more right of entry agreements to inspect the same, perform surveys, environmental assessments, soil and any other due diligence it deems necessary or desirable to satisfy itself as to the condition of the Property. The Developer acknowledges that it is satisfied with the condition of the Property. The Developer agrees to deliver to the City a copy of each report prepared by or for the Developer regarding the environmental condition of the Property.
  2. Materials. The Developer acknowledges that any materials brought to the Property for use under the parking lot or in the utility trenches must be certified "clean" by the supplying quarry. The Developer further acknowledges that any soil that is brought to the Property for use under the outdoor play area must be tested and must not exceed the Tier 1 Residential Soil Remediation Objectives.
 
21.4      Release and Indemnification. The Developer, on behalf of itself and its officers,
directors, employees, successors, assigns and anyone claiming by, through or under them
(collectively, the "Developer Parties"), hereby releases, relinquishes and forever discharges the
City, its officers, agents and employees, from and against any and all Losses which the
Developer ever had, now have, or hereafter may have, whether grounded in tort or contract or
otherwise, in any and all courts or other forums, of whatever kind or nature, whether known or
unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, now existing or occurring after the Closing Date, based upon,
arising out of or in any way connected with, directly or indirectly (i) any environmental
contamination, pollution or hazards associated with the Property or any improvements, facilities
or operations located or formerly located thereon, including, without limitation, any release,
emission, discharge, generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of Hazardous
Materials, or threatened release, emission or discharge of Hazardous Materials; (ii) the structural,
physical or environmental condition ofthe Property, including, without limitation, the presence
or suspected presence of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Property or the
15
 
 
migration of Hazardous Materials from or to other Property; (iii) any violation of, compliance with, enforcement of or liability under any Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, any governmental or regulatory body response costs, natural resource damages or Losses arising under CERCLA; and (iv) any investigation, cleanup, monitoring, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision or other third party in connection or associated with the Property or any improvements, facilities or operations located or formerly located thereon (collectively, "Released Claims"); provided, however, the foregoing release shall not apply to the extent such Losses are proximately caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the City following the Closing Date. Furthermore, the Developer shall indemnify, defend (through an attorney reasonably acceptable to the City) and hold the City and its officers, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all Losses which may be made or asserted by any third parties (including, without limitation, any of the Developer Parties) arising out of or in any way connected with, directly or indirectly, any of the Released Claims, except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence for the City's gross negligence or willful misconduct following the Closing Date.
21.5 Release Runs with the Property. The covenant of release in Section 21.4 above shall run with the Property, and shall be binding upon all successors and assigns of the Developer with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, each and every person, firm, corporation, limited liability company, trust or other entity owning, leasing, occupying, using or possessing any portion of the Property under or through the Developer following the date of the Deed. The Developer acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing covenant of release constitutes a material inducement to the City to enter into this Agreement, and that, but for such release, the City would not have agreed to convey the Property to the Developer. It is expressly agreed and understood by and between the Developer and the City that, should any future obligation of the Developer or Developer Parties arise or be alleged to arise in connection with any environmental, soil or other condition of the Property, the Developer and any of the Developer Parties shall not assert that those obligations must be satisfied in whole or in part by the City, because Section 21.4 contains a full, complete and final release of all such claims, except as provided in such section for the City's gross negligence or willful misconduct following the Closing Date.
21.5 Survival. This Section 21 shall survive the Closing Date or any termination of this Agreement (regardless of the reason for such termination).

22.1 Employment Opportunity. The Developer agrees, and shall contractually obligate its various contractors, subcontractors and any affiliate of the Developer operating on the Property (collectively, the "Contractors" and individually, a "Contractor") to agree, that with respect to the provision of services in connection with the construction of the Project:
(a) Neither the Developer nor any Contractor shall discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment based upon race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, national origin or ancestry, age, handicap or disability, sexual orientation, military discharge status, marital status, parental status or source of income as defined in
 
16
 
 
the City of Chicago Human Rights Ordinance, Section 2-160-010 et sea,, ofthe Municipal Code of Chicago, as amended from time to time (the "Human Rights Ordinance"). The Developer and each Contractor shall take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are hired and employed without discrimination based upon the foregoing grounds, and are treated in a non-discriminatory manner with regard to all job-related matters, including, without limitation: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The Developer and each Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the City setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause. In addition, the Developer and each Contractor, in all print solicitations or advertisements for employees, shall state that all qualified applicants shall receive consideration for employment without discrimination based upon the foregoing grounds.
  1. To the greatest extent feasible, the Developer and each Contractor shall present opportunities for training and employment of low and moderate income residents ofthe City, and provide that contracts for work in connection with the construction of the Project be awarded to business concerns which are located in or owned in substantial part by persons residing in, the City.
  2. The Developer and each Contractor shall comply with all federal, state and local equal employment and affirmative action statutes, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Human Rights Ordinance, and the Illinois Human Rights Act, 775 ILCS 5/1-101 et seq. (1993), and any subsequent amendments and regulations promulgated thereto.
  3. The Developer, in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this Section 22.1. shall cooperate with and promptly and accurately respond to reasonable inquiries by the City, which has the responsibility to observe and report compliance with equal employment opportunity regulations of federal, state and municipal agencies.
  4. The Developer and each Contractor shall include the foregoing provisions of subparagraphs (a) through (d) in every contract entered into in connection with the construction of the Project, and shall require inclusion of these provisions in every subcontract entered into by any subcontractors, and every agreement with any affiliate operating on the Property, so that each such provision shall be binding upon each contractor, subcontractor or affiliate, as the case may be.
  5. Failure to comply with the employment obligations described in this Section 22.1 shall be a basis for the City to pursue remedies under the provisions of Section 18.
 
22.2 City Resident Employment Requirement. The Developer agrees, and shall contractually obligate each Contractor to agree, that during the construction of the Project, the Developer and each Contractor shall comply with the minimum percentage of total worker hours
 
17
 
 
performed by actual residents of the City of Chicago as specified in Section 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code of Chicago (at least fifty percent); provided, however, that doing so does not violate a collective bargaining agreement of Developer or an Contractor and that in addition to complying with this percentage, the Developer and each Contractor shall be required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified residents of the City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions.
  1. The Developer and the Contractors may request a reduction or waiver of this minimum percentage level of Chicagoans as provided for in Section 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code of Chicago in accordance with standards and procedures developed by the chief procurement officer of the City of Chicago.
  2. "Actual residents of the City of Chicago" shall mean persons domiciled within the City of Chicago. The domicile is an individual's one and only true, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment.
  3. The Developer and the Contractors shall provide for the maintenance of adequate employee residency records to ensure that actual Chicago residents are employed on the construction of Project. The Developer and the Contractors shall maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every Chicago employee's actual record of residence.
  4. The Developer and the Contractors shall submit weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) to the Department in triplicate, which shall identify clearly the actual residence of every employee on each submitted certified payroll. The first time that an employee's name appears on a payroll, the date that the Developer or Contractor hired the employee should be written in after the employee's name.
  5. The Developer and the Contractors shall provide full access to their employment records to the chief procurement officer, the Department, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the inspector general, or any duly authorized representative thereof. The Developer and the Contractors shall maintain all relevant personnel data and records for a period of at least three (3) years after the issuance of the Phase II Certificate of Completion.
  6. At the direction of the Department, the Developer and the Contractors shall provide affidavits and other supporting documentation to verify or clarify an employee's actual address when doubt or lack of clarity has arisen.
  7. Good faith efforts on the part of the Developer and the Contractors to provide work for actual Chicago residents (but not sufficient for the granting of a waiver request as provided for in the standards and procedures developed by the chief procurement officer) shall not suffice to replace the actual, verified achievement of the requirements of this Section 22.2 concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
 
18
 
 
(h)      If the City determines that the Developer or an Contractor failed to ensure
the fulfillment of the requirements of this Section 22.2 concerning the worker hours
performed by actual Chicago residents or failed to report in the manner as indicated
above, the City will thereby be damaged in the failure to provide the benefit of
demonstrable employment to Chicagoans to the degree stipulated in this Section 22.2. If
such non-compliance is not remedied in accordance with the breach and cure provisions
of Section 18.3. the parties agree that 1/20 of 1 percent (.05%) of the aggregate hard
construction costs set forth in the Final Phase I Budget and Final Phase II Budget (if the
Final Phase II Budget has not been approved by the Department, then the Preliminary
Phase II Budget shall be used, instead of the Final Phase II Budget) shall be surrendered
by the Developer and for the Contractors to the City in payment for each percentage of
shortfall toward the stipulated residency requirement. Failure to report the residency of
employees entirely and correctly shall result in the surrender of the entire liquidated
damages as if no Chicago residents were employed in either of the categories. The
willful falsification of statements and the certification of payroll data may subject the
Developer and/or the other Contractors or employees to prosecution.
 
(i)      Nothing herein provided shall be construed to be a limitation upon the
"Notice of Requirements for Affirmative Action to Ensure Equal Employment
Opportunity, Executive Order 11246" and "Standard Federal Equal Employment
Opportunity, Executive Order 11246," or other affirmative action required for equal
opportunity under the provisions of this Agreement.
 
(j) The Developer shall cause or require the provisions of this Section 22.2 to be included in all construction contracts and subcontracts related to the construction of the Project.
 
22.3 Developer's MBE/WBE Commitment. Developer's MBE/WBE Commitment. The Developer agrees for itself and its successors and assigns, and, if necessary to meet the requirements set forth herein, shall contractually obligate the general contractor to agree, that during the construction ofthe Project:

Those entities which constitute both a MBE and a WBE shall not be credited more than once with regard to the Developer's MBE/WBE commitment as described in this Section 23.3. In accordance with Section 2-92-730, Municipal Code of Chicago, the Developer shall not substitute any MBE or WBE general contractor or subcontractor without the prior written approval ofthe Department.

The Developer shall maintain records of all relevant data with respect to the utilization of MBEs and WBEs in connection with the construction of the Project for at least five (5) years after completion ofthe Project, and the City's monitoring staff shall have access to all such records maintained by the Developer, on prior notice of at least five (5) business days, to allow the City to review the Developer's compliance with its commitment to MBE/WBE participation and the status of any MBE or WBE performing any portion of the construction of the Project.
  1. Upon the disqualification of any MBE or WBE general contractor or subcontractor, if the disqualified party misrepresented such status, the Developer shall be obligated to discharge or cause to be discharged the disqualified general contractor or subcontractor, and, if possible, identify and engage a qualified MBE or WBE as a replacement. For purposes of this subsection (e), the disqualification procedures are further described in Sections 2-92-540 and 2-92-730, Municipal Code of Chicago, as applicable.
  2. Any reduction or waiver of the Developer's MBE/WBE commitment as described in this Section 22.3 shall be undertaken in accordance with Sections 2-92-450 and 2-92-730, Municipal Code of Chicago, as applicable.
