QUITCLAIM DEED
(The Above Space for Recorder's Use Only)
The CITY OF CHICAGO, an Illinois municipal corporation and home rule unit of local government, having its principal offices at 121 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60602 ("Grantor"), for and in consideration of Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($900,000) (the "Purchase Price"), conveys and quitclaims to 1501 West School Acquisition, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, whose principal place of business is located at 1724 W. Belmont Street, Chicago, Illinois 60657 ("Grantee"), all interest and title of Grantor in the real property legally described and identified on Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Property"), pursuant to an
ordinance adopted by the City Council on June , 2018, and published at pages [ ]
through [ ] in the Journal of the Proceedings of the City Council of such date.
Without limiting the quitclaim nature of this deed, this conveyance is subject to: (a) the standard exceptions in an ALTA title insurance policy; (b) general real estate taxes and any special assessments or other taxes; (c) all easements, encroachments, covenants and restrictions of record and not shown of record; (d) such other title defects that may exist; and (e) any and all exceptions caused by the acts of Grantee or its agents. In addition, this conveyance is subject to the following express conditions and covenants which are a part of the consideration for the Property and which are to be taken and construed as running with the land and binding on Grantee and Grantee's successors and assigns:
FIRST. Grantee shall commence redevelopment of the shuttered, two-story, masonry-constructed firehouse on the Property (the "Former Firehouse") within one year of the date hereof, provided that the Department of Planning and Development (the "DPD"), in its sole discretion, may extend the construction commencement date.
SECOND. If Grantee sells the Property prior to the completion of the redevelopment of the Firehouse, Grantee must share with the City fifty percent (50%) of the net profits of the sale, calculated pursuant to a formula to be determined in DPD's sole discretion.
Exhibit B -
THIRD. Grantee shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, gender identity, age, religion, disability, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, military discharge status, or source of income in the sale, lease, rental, use or occupancy of the Property or any part thereof. This covenant shall have no limitation as to time.
FOURTH. Except for a known underground fuel storage tank on the Property and associated contaminated soils, which the City is removing, Grantee agrees that it is solely responsible for all aspects of any environmental investigation, remedial, removal or restoration work necessary to put the Property and the Former Firehouse in a suitable condition for their intended use, including, without limitation, remediation and removal of lead-based paint, polychlorinated biphenyl-containing light fixtures and asbestos-containing building materials. Without limiting the foregoing, Grantee agrees that, at the request of the City's Department of Fleet and Facilities Management ("DFFM"), it shall perform any environmental assessments, studies or tests deemed necessary by DFFM to determine whether any environmental or health risks would be associated with the redevelopment of the Property and occupancy of the Former Firehouse. DFFM shall have the right to review and approve the sufficiency of any such environmental assessments, studies and tests, and, if the results disclose the presence of contaminants exceeding residential remediation objectives, may require Grantee to enroll the Property (or the applicable portion thereof) in the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's Site Remediation Program ("SRP") and complete the remediation of the Property in accordance with SRP requirements.
FIFTH. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Property is being conveyed, and Grantee accepts the Property, including the Former Firehouse, in its "as is," "where is" and "with all faults" condition 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 Firehouse or the suitability of the Property or the Firehouse for any purpose whatsoever. Grantee, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, shall release, relinquish and forever discharge Grantor and its officers, employees, agencies, departments and officials, from and against any and all claims, causes of action, demands, legal or administrative proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, interest, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses and court costs) based upon, arising out of or in any way connected with, directly or indirectly, the structural, physical or environmental condition of the Property or the Former Firehouse. This covenant shall have no limitation as to time.
If Grantee violates, breaches or fails to comply with any of the foregoing covenants and conditions, Grantee shall have thirty (30) days after written notice of default from Grantor to cure the default, or such longer period as shall be reasonably necessary to cure such default provided Grantee promptly commences such cure and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion (so long as continuation of the default does not create material risk to the Former Firehouse or to persons using the Former Firehouse or Property). If the default is not cured in the time period provided for herein, Grantor may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity, including but not limited to, the right to reenter and take possession of the Property, terminate the estate conveyed to Grantee, and revest title to the Property in Grantor
Exhibit B - Page 2
(the "Right of Reverter"); provided, however, Grantor'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 the Department. Grantee, at Grantor's request, covenants to execute and deliver to the City a reconveyance deed to the Property to further evidence such revesting of title, and Grantee shall be responsible for all real estate taxes and assessments which accrued during the period the Property was owned by Grantee and shall cause the release of all liens and encumbrances placed on the Property (except those permitted by the Department) during the period of time the Property was owned by Grantee. Grantee shall pay Grantor's legal fees incurred in enforcing Grantee's obligations under these covenants.
