The Park District and the City are sometimes referred to herein as the "Parties."
RECITALS

The Park District is a unit of local government under Article VII, Section 1 of the 1970 Constitution of the State of Illinois, and as such, has the authority to exercise control over and supervise the operation of parks within the corporate limits of the City.
The Park District seeks payment or reimbursement of funds it intends to expend or has expended for the construction of a new five-station automated batting cage at the south end of Humboldt Park (the "Project"), an approximately 206 acre park located at 1400 North Sacramento Avenue and legally described in Exhibit A (the "Property").
The Park District owns the Property and the Property lies wholly within the boundaries of the Division/Homan Redevelopment Project Area (as hereinafter defined).
The City is authorized under the provisions of the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1 et seq., as amended from time to time (the "Act"), to finance projects that eradicate blight conditions and conservation factors that could lead to blight through the use of tax increment allocation financing for redevelopment projects.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, pursuant to ordinances adopted on June 27, 2001, and published in the Journal of Proceedings of the City Council of the City of Chicago, Illinois (the "Journal") for such date at pages 61712 through 61834, the City Council of the City: (i) approved a redevelopment plan and project (the "Division/Homan Plan") for a portion of the City known as the "Division/Homan Redevelopment Project Area", (ii) designated the Division/Homan Redevelopment Project Area as a redevelopment project area under the Act and, (iii) adopted tax increment financing for the Division/Homan Redevelopment Project Area.
Under 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-3(q)(7), such incremental ad valorem taxes which pursuant to the Act have been collected and are allocated to pay redevelopment project costs and obligations incurred in the payment thereof ("Increment") may be used to pay all or a portion of a taxing district's capital costs resulting from a redevelopment project necessarily incurred or to be incurred in furtherance of the objectives of the redevelopment plan and project,
to the extent the municipality by written agreement accepts and approves such costs. (Increment collected from the Division/Homan Redevelopment Project Area shall be known as the "Division/Homan Redevelopment Project Area Increment").
H. The Park District is a taxing district under the Act.
I. DPD wishes to make available to the Park District a portion of the
Division/Homan Redevelopment Project Area Increment in an amount not to exceed a total of
$325,000 (the "TIF Assistance"), subject to Section 2.6, for the purpose of funding the Project
(the "TIF-Funded Improvements") in the Division/Homan Redevelopment Project Area to the
extent and in the manner provided in the Agreement (as hereinafter defined).
J. The Division/Homan Plan contemplates that tax increment financing assistance would be provided for public improvements, such as the Project, within the boundaries of the Division/Homan Redevelopment Project Area.
K. [intentionally omitted]
L.

M. The City and the Park District wish to enter into this Agreement whereby the Park District shall undertake the Project and the City shall reimburse the Park District for the TIF-Funded Improvements made pursuant to the Project.

|1010|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS

SECTION 2. FUNDING

The City shall establish a special account within Division/Homan Redevelopment Project Area Special Tax Allocation Fund; such special account shall be known as the "Humboldt Park - Batting Cage Account." Disbursement of TIF Assistance funds will be subject to the availability of Division/Homan Increment in the Humboldt Park Account, subject to all restrictions on and obligations of the City contained in all Division/Homan Ordinances, or relating to the Division/Homan Redevelopment Project Area Increment and all agreements and other documents entered into by the City pursuant thereto.
Within 15 days after the Closing Date or such longer period of time as may be agreed to by the Commissioner, but in no event later than 90 days after the execution of this Agreement (the "Satisfaction Period"), the Park District must satisfy to the reasonable satisfaction of the Commissioner, the following conditions precedent for City's disbursement of the TIF Assistance to the Park District:
|1010|
the Park District has satisfactory title to the Property, which may be evidenced by an acceptable title insurance policy, subject only to those title exceptions acceptable to the City and the Park District; and
the Park District has satisfied the conditions stated in this Section 2.3 within the Satisfaction Period. If the Park District is unable to satisfy said conditions, either Party may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the other Party.
2.3.4. The Park District may request payment from the City by submitting a Request for Reimbursement in the form of Exhibit D hereto ("Request for Reimbursement") be processed and executed periodically, but in no event more frequently than quarterly. The City shall not execute and approve Requests for Reimbursement in the aggregate in excess of the actual costs of the Project that are TIF-Funded Improvements, and in no event in an amount greater than the TIF Assistance. Prior to each execution of a Request for Reimbursement by the City, the Park District shall submit documentation regarding the applicable expenditures to HED. Delivery by the Park District to the City of any request for execution by the City of a Request for Reimbursement hereunder shall, in addition to the items therein expressly set forth, constitute a certification to the City, as of the date of such request for execution of a Request for Reimbursement, that:
the total amount of the request for the Request for Reimbursement represents the actual amount payable to (or paid to) the general contractor, subcontractors, and other parties who have performed work on or otherwise provided goods or services in connection with the Project, and/or their payees;
all amounts shown as previous payments on the current request for a Request for Reimbursement have been paid to the parties entitled to such payment;
2.4.3 the Park District has approved all work and materials for the current request for a Request for Reimbursement, and such work and materials conform to the Plans and Specifications; and
2.4.4. the Park District is in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, codes and executive orders, ail as may be in effect from time to time, pertaining to or affecting the Project or the Park District as related thereto.
The City shall have the right, in its discretion, to require the Park District to submit further documentation as the City may require in order to verify that the matters certified to in Section 2.4 are true and correct, and any execution and approval of a Request for Reimbursement by the City shall be subject to the City's review and approval of such documentation and its satisfaction that such certifications are true and correct; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to prevent the City from relying on such certifications by the Park District.
The current estimated cost of the entire Project is $656,360, with $325,000 in TIF Assistance. The Park District has delivered to the Commissioner a budget for the Project attached as Exhibit C. The Park District certifies that it has identified sources of funds, including the TIF Assistance, sufficient to complete its budgeted portion of the Project. The Park District agrees that the City will reimburse the Park District with the TIF Assistance for the
|1010|
costs of the Project and that all costs of completing the Project over the TIF Assistance shall be the sole responsibility of the Park District. If the Park District at any point learns upon reasonable duty of inquiry that it does not have sufficient funds to complete the Project, the Park District shall so notify the City immediately in writing and cease all work on the Project until the City and the Park District agree on how to proceed; the Park District may narrow the scope of the Project (the "Revised Project") as agreed to by the City prior to the restart of any work in order to complete the Revised Project with the approved funds or TIF Assistance. The City has the right, at its election, to withhold and refuse all reimbursement in the event that the Park District fails to so notify the City and/or the Park District and the City fail to reach agreement on a Revised Project as described above.
Exhibit C contains a preliminary list of capital improvements, equipment costs, general construction costs, and other costs, if any, recognized by the City as being eligible redevelopment project costs under the Act with respect to the Project, to be paid for out of the TIF Assistance. To the extent the TIF-Funded Improvements are included as taxing district capital costs under the Act, the Park District acknowledges that the TIF-Funded Improvements are costs for capital improvements and the City acknowledges it has determined that these TIF-Funded Improvements are necessary and directly result from the Division/Homan Plan. Prior to the expenditure of TIF Assistance funds on the Project, the Commissioner, based upon the Project budget, may make such modifications to Exhibit C as he or she wishes in his or her discretion to account for all of the TIF Assistance funds to be expended under this Agreement; provided, however, that all TIF-Funded Improvements shall (i) qualify as redevelopment project costs under the Act, (ii) qualify as eligible costs under the Plan; and (iii) be improvements that the Commissioner has agreed to pay for out of TIF Assistance funds, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
The Park District hereby acknowledges and agrees that the City's obligations hereunder with respect to the TIF Assistance are subject in every respect to the availability of funds as described in and limited by this Section 2.
