SECTION 10. DEVELOPER'S EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS
10.01 Employment Opportunity. Developer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby agrees, and shall contractually obligate its or their various contractors, subcontractors or any Affiliate of Developer operating on the Property (collectively, with Developer, the "Employers" and individually an "Employer") to agree, that for the Term of this Agreement with respect to Developer and during the period of any other party's provision of services in connection with the construction of the Project or occupation of the Property:
No Employer shall discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment based upon race, religion, color, sex, national origin or ancestry, age, handicap or disability, sexual orientation, military discharge status, marital status, parental status or source of income as defined in the City of Chicago Human Rights Ordinance, Chapter 2-160, Section 2-160-010 et seq., Municipal Code, except as otherwise provided by said ordinance and as amended from time to time (the "Human Rights Ordinance"). Each Employer shall take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are hired and employed without discrimination based upon race, religion, color, sex, national origin or ancestry, age, handicap or disability, sexual orientation, military discharge status, marital status, parental status or source of income 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. Each Employer agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the City setting forth the provisions ofthis nondiscrimination clause. In addition, the Employers, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees, shall state that all qualified applicants shall receive consideration for employment without discrimination based upon race, religion, color, sex, national origin or ancestry, age, handicap or disability, sexual orientation, military discharge status, marital status, parental status or source of income.
To the greatest extent feasible, each Employer is required to present opportunities for training and employment of low- and moderate-income residents ofthe City and preferably ofthe Redevelopment Area; and to provide that contracts for work in connection with the construction of the Project be awarded to business concerns that are located in, or owned in substantial part by persons residing in, the City and preferably in the Redevelopment Area.
Each Employer shall comply with all federal, state and local equal employment and affirmative action statutes, rules and regulations, including but not limited to the City's Human Rights Ordinance and the Illinois Human Rights Act, 775 ILCS 5/1-101 et seg. (1993), and any subsequent amendments and regulations promulgated thereto.
Each Employer, in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this Section, shall cooperate with and promptly and accurately respond to inquiries by the City, which has the responsibility to observe and report compliance with equal employment opportunity regulations of federal, state and municipal agencies.
Each Employer shall include the foregoing provisions of subparagraphs (a) through (d) in every contract entered into in connection with the Project, and shall require inclusion of these provisions in every subcontract entered into by any subcontractors, and every agreement with any
37
Affiliate operating on the Property, so that each such provision shall be binding upon each contractor, subcontractor or Affiliate, as the case may be.
(f) Failure to comply with the employment obligations described in this Section 10.01 shall be a basis for the City to pursue remedies under the provisions of Section 15.02 hereof.
10.02 City Resident Construction Worker Employment Requirement. Developer agrees for itself and its successors and assigns, and shall contractually obligate its General Contractor and shall cause the General Contractor to contractually obligate its subcontractors, as applicable, to agree, that during the construction ofthe Project they shall comply with the minimum percentage of total worker hours performed by actual residents ofthe City as specified in Section 2-92-330 ofthe Municipal Code (at least 50 percent of the total worker hours worked by persons on the site of the Project shall be performed by actual residents of the City); provided, however, that in addition to complying with this percentage, Developer, its General Contractor and each subcontractor shall be required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified residents of the City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions.
Developer may request a reduction or waiver of this minimum percentage level of Chicagoans as provided for in Section 2-92-330 ofthe Municipal Code in accordance with standards and procedures developed by the Chief Procurement Officer ofthe City.
"Actual residents of the City" shall mean persons domiciled within the City. The domicile is an individual's one and only true, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment.
Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor shall provide for the maintenance of adequate employee residency records to show that actual Chicago residents are employed on the Project. Each Employer shall maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every Chicago employee's actual record of residence.
Weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) shall be submitted to the Commissioner of DPD 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 Employer hired'the employee should be written in after the employee's name.
Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor shall provide full access to their employment records to the Chief Procurement Officer, the Commissioner of DPD, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the Inspector General or any duly authorized representative of any of them. Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor shall maintain all relevant personnel data and records for a period of at least three (3) years after final acceptance of the work constituting the Project.
At the direction of DPD, affidavits and other supporting documentation will be required of Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor to verify or clarify an employee's actual address when doubt or lack of clarity has arisen.
Good faith efforts on the part of Developer, the General Contractor and each subcontractor to provide utilization of 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
38
Officer) shall not suffice to replace the actual, verified achievement of the requirements of this Section concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
When work at the Project is completed, in the event that the City has determined that Developer 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 percent (0.0005) ofthe aggregate hard construction costs set forth in the Project budget (the product of .0005 x such aggregate hard construction costs) (as the same shall be evidenced by approved contract value for the actual contracts) shall be surrendered by Developer 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 Developer, the General Contractor and/or the subcontractors to prosecution. Any retainage to cover contract performance that may become due to Developer pursuant to Section 2-92-250 ofthe Municipal Code may be withheld by the City pending the Chief Procurement Officer's determination as to whether Developer must surrender damages as provided in this paragraph.
Nothing herein provided shall be construed to be a limitation upon the ANotice 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 or related documents.
Developer shall cause or require the provisions of this Section 10.02 to be included in all construction contracts and subcontracts related to the Project.
10.03. MBE/WBE Commitment. 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 Project:

to the extent of any actual work performed on the Project by Developer) or by a joint venture with
one or more MBEs or WBEs (but only to the extent of the lesser of (i) the MBE or WBE participation
in such joint venture or (ii) the amount of any actual work performed on the Project by the MBE or
WBE), by Developer utilizing a MBE or a WBE as the General Contractor (but only to the extent of
any actual work performed on the Project by the General Contractor), by subcontracting or causing
the General Contractor to subcontract a portion of the Project to one or more MBEs or WBEs, or by
the purchase of materials or services used in the Project from one or more MBEs or WBEs, or by
any combination of the foregoing. Those entities which constitute both a MBE and a WBE shall not
be credited more than once with regard to Developer's MBE/WBE commitment as described in this
Section 10.03. In accordance with Section 2-92-730, Municipal Code, Developer shall not substitute
any MBE or WBE General Contractor or subcontractor without the prior written approval of DPD.
Developer shall deliver quarterly reports to the City's monitoring staff during the Project describing its efforts to achieve compliance with this MBE/WBE commitment. Such reports shall include, inter alia, the name and business address of each MBE and WBE solicited by Developer or the General Contractor to work on the Project, and the responses received from such solicitation, the name and business address of each MBE or WBE actually involved in the Project, a description of the work performed or products or services supplied, the date and amount of such work, product or service, and such other information as may assist the City's monitoring staff in determining Developer's compliance with this MBE/WBE commitment. Developer shall maintain records of all relevant data with respect to the utilization of MBEs and WBEs in connection with the Project for at least five years after completion of the Project, and the City's monitoring staff shall have access to all such records maintained by Developer, on five Business Days' notice, to allow the City to review Developer's compliance with its commitment to MBE/WBE participation and the status of any MBE or WBE performing any portion of the Project.
Upon the disqualification of any MBE or WBE General Contractor or subcontractor, if such status was misrepresented by the disqualified party, 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 ofthis subsection (e), the disqualification procedures are further described in Sections 2-92-540 and 2-92-730, Municipal Code, as applicable.
Any reduction or waiver of Developer's MBE/WBE commitment as described in this Section 10.03 shall be undertaken in accordance with Sections 2-92-450 and 2-92-730, Municipal Code, as applicable.
Prior to the commencement of the Project, Developer shall be required to meet with the City's monitoring staff with regard to Developer's compliance with its obligations under this Section 10.03. The General Contractor and all major subcontractors shall be required to attend this pre-construction meeting. During said meeting, Developer shall demonstrate to the City's monitoring staff its plan to achieve its obligations under this Section 10.03, the sufficiency of which shall be approved by the City's, monitoring staff.

in the Property or any portion thereof pursuant to the exercise of remedies under a New Mortgage
(other than a Permitted Mortgage), whether by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, and in
conjunction therewith accepts an assignment of Developer's interest hereunder in accordance with
Section 18.15 hereof, the City may, but shall not be obligated to, attorn to and recognize such party
as the successor in interest to Developer for all purposes under this Agreement and, unless so
recognized by the City as the successor in interest, such party shall be entitled to no rights or
benefits under this Agreement, but such party shall be bound by those provisions of this Agreement
that are covenants expressly running with the land.
(b) In the event that any mortgagee shall succeed to Developer's interest in the Property or
any portion thereof pursuant to the exercise of remedies under an Existing Mortgage or a Permitted
Mortgage, whether by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, and in conjunction therewith
accepts an assignment of Developer's interest hereunder in accordance with Section 18.15 hereof,
the City hereby agrees to attorn to and recognize such party as the successor in interest to
Developer for all purposes under this Agreement so long as such party accepts all ofthe obligations
and liabilities of "Developer" hereunder; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that if such party accepts an
assignment of Developer's interest under this Agreement, such party has no liability under this
Agreement for any Event of Default of Developer which accrued prior to the time such party
succeeded to the interest of Developer under this Agreement, in which case Developer shall be
solely responsible. However, if such mortgagee under a Permitted Mortgage or an Existing
Mortgage does not expressly accept an assignment of Developer's interest hereunder, such party
shall be entitled to no rights and benefits under this Agreement, and such party shall be bound only
by those provisions of this Agreement, if any, which are covenants expressly running with the land.

without the prior written consent of the Commissioner of DPD.

OPINION OF DEVELOPER'S COUNSEL [To be retyped on Developer's Counsel's letterhead]
City of Chicago
121 North LaSalle Street
Chicago, IL 60602
ATTENTION: Corporation Counsel
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Jeffrey Advisors LLC, an Illinois limited liability company ("JAL") and 7131 Jeffrey Development, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company ("Owner"; together with JAL, collectively, the "Developer") in connection with the construction of certain facilities located in the 71st and Stony Island Redevelopment Project Area (the "Project"). In that capacity, we have examined, among other things, the following agreements, instruments and documents of even date herewith, hereinafter referred to as the "Documents":
Jeffery Plaza Redevelopment Agreement (the "Agreement") of even date herewith, executed by Developer and the City of Chicago (the "City");
the Junior Mortgage of even date herewith executed by Developer;
[insert other documents including but not limited to documents related to purchase and financing of the Property and all lender financing related to the Project]; and
all other agreements, instruments and documents executed in connection with the foregoing.
In addition to the foregoing, we have examiped
the original or certified, conformed or photostatic copies of Developer's (i) Articles of Organization, as amended to date, (ii) qualifications to do business and certificates of good standing in all states in which Developer is qualified to do business, (iii) Operating Agreement, as amended to date, and (iv) records of all corporate authorizations relating to the Project; and
such other documents, records and legal matters as we have deemed necessary or relevant for purposes of issuing the opinions hereinafter expressed.
In all such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of Developer), the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals and conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies.
70
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
Each Developer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Illinois, has full power and authority to own and lease its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted, and is in good standing and duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation under the laws of every state in which the conduct of its affairs or the ownership of its assets requires such qualification, except for those states in which its failure to qualify to do business would not have a material adverse effect on it or its business.
Developer has full right, power and authority to execute and deliver the Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. Such execution, delivery and performance will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, Developer's Articles of Organization or Operating Agreement or result in a breach or other violation of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any law or regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, government or regulatory authority, or, to the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, instrument or document to which Developer is a party or by which Developer or its properties is bound. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, such execution, delivery and performance will not constitute grounds for acceleration ofthe maturity of any agreement,, indenture, undertaking or other instrument to which Developer is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien, charge or encumbrance on, or security interest in, any of its property pursuant to the provisions of any of the foregoing, other than liens or security interests in favor ofthe lender providing Lender Financing (as defined in the Agreement).
The execution and delivery of each Document and the performance of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized and approved by all requisite action on the part of Developer.
Each of the Documents to which Developer is a party has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized manager of Developer, and each such Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Developer, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
Exhibit A attached hereto (a) identifies each member of Developer, and (b) states each member's percentage interest and right in the Developer. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, except as set forth on Exhibit A, there are no warrants, options, rights or commitments of purchase, conversion, call or exchange or other rights or restrictions with respect to any ofthe members' rights and or interest in Developer.
To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, no judgments are outstanding against Developer, nor is there now pending or threatened, any litigation, contested claim or governmental proceeding by or against Developer or affecting Developer or its property, or seeking to restrain or enjoin the performance by Developer of the Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, or contesting the validity thereof. To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, Developer is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, government or regulatory authority or in default in any respect under any law, order, regulation or demand of any governmental agency or instrumentality, a default under which would have a material adverse effect on Developer or its business.
71
To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, there is no default by Developer or any other party under any material contract, lease, agreement, instrument or commitment to which Developer is a party or by which the company or its properties is bound.
To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, all of the assets of Developer are free and clear of mortgages, liens, pledges, security interests and encumbrances except for those specifically set forth in the Documents.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Documents by Developer have not and will not require the consent of any person or the giving of notice to, any exemption by, any registration, declaration or filing with or any taking of any other actions in respect of, any person, including without limitation any court, government or regulatory authority.
To the best of our knowledge after diligent inquiry, Developer owns or possesses or is licensed or otherwise has the right to use all licenses, permits and other governmental approvals and authorizations, operating.authorities, certificates of public convenience, goods carriers permits, authorizations and other rights that are necessary for the operation of its business.
A federal or state court sitting in the State of Illinois and applying the choice of law provisions ofthe State of Illinois would enforce the choice of law contained in the Documents and apply the law ofthe State of Illinois to the transactions evidenced thereby.
We are attorneys admitted to practice in the State of Illinois and we express no opinion as to any laws other than federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of Illinois.
This opinion is issued at Developer's request for the benefit of the City and its counsel, and may not be disclosed to or relied upon by any other person.
Very truly yours,
By:_ Name:

78
Property or contest any tax or assessment thereon. All monies paid for any of the purposes herein authorized and all expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith, including attorneys' fees, and any other monies advanced by Mortgagee to protect the Mortgaged Property and the lien hereof, shall be deemed additional indebtedness secured hereby. Inaction of Mortgagee shall never be considered as a waiver of any right accruing to it on account of any default on the part of Mortgagor.
To the extent that Mortgagee, on or after the date hereof, pays any sum under any provision of law or any instrument or document creating any lien or other interest prior or superior to the lien of this Mortgage, or Mortgagor or any other person or entity pays any such sum with the proceeds of the indebtedness secured hereby, Mortgagee shall have and be entitled to a lien or other interest on the Mortgaged Property equal in priority to the lien or other interest discharged and Mortgagee shall be subrogated to, and receive and enjoy all rights and liens possessed, held or enjoyed by, the holder of such lien, which shall remain in existence and benefit Mortgagee in securing the indebtedness secured hereby; provided however Mortgagee shall not be entitled to a lien or other interest in the Mortgaged Property pursuant to any lien created by the Lender Financing documents.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred under the Agreement (with respect to the Covenants) or the Mortgage, and shall have continued for thirty (30) days following the receipt of notice thereof from Mortgagee to Mortgagor, the amount ofthe Reimbursement Obligation for which Mortgagor is then liable (as determined by Section 4.1 above) and secured hereby, at Mortgagee's sole option, shall immediately become due and payable without further notice or demand; provided, however, that in the event such default cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and if Mortgagor has commenced efforts to cure, then, the time to cure shall be extended so long as said party diligently continues to cure such default; provided, further, that no such notice and cure provisions described above shall apply with respect to an Event of Default arising from the failure by Mortgagor to perform the Covenants, as the notice and cure periods, if any, of the Agreement shall apply to such Event of Default.
Except as otherwise permitted by the terms of the Agreement or by Mortgagee's written consent, any sale, partial sale, refinancing, syndication or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Mortgaged Property (other than in the ordinary course of the Mortgagor's business) shall entitle the Mortgagee to declare the Reimbursement Obligation for which Mortgagor is then liable (as determined by Section 4.1 above) and secured hereby immediately due and payable without further notice or demand; provided, however, the replacement or substitution of any machinery, equipment or fixtures, now owned or hereafter acquired by Mortgagor, with machinery or equipment of like kind and value, whether or not such machinery or equipment is deemed a fixture under applicable provisions of the Code, will not be an Event of Default under the Mortgage, provided Mortgagor, if requested to do so by Mortgagee, executes such documents as may be necessary or deemed appropriate to assure Mortgagee of a continuing perfected secured interest in such replacement or substituted machinery, equipment or fixtures.
Remedies. Mortgagee's remedies as provided in this Mortgage and the Agreement shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Mortgagee and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and shall not be exclusive but shall be in addition to every other remedy now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute.

79

No Waiver. Failure of Mortgagee, for any period of time or on more than one occasion, to exercise any such remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same at any time thereafter or in the event of any subsequent Event of Default. No act of omission or commission of Mortgagee, including specifically any failure to exercise any right or remedy, shall be deemed to be a waiver or release of the same; any such waiver or release is to be effected only through a written document executed by Mortgagee and then only to the extent specifically recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to any one event shall not be construed as a waiver or release of any subsequent event or as a bar to any subsequent exercise of Mortgagee's rights or remedies hereunder. Except as otherwise specifically required herein, notice ofthe exercise ofany right or remedy granted to Mortgage is not required to be given.
Right of Possession. To the extent permitted by law, in any case in which, under the provisions of this Mortgage, Mortgagee has a right to institute foreclosure proceedings, whether before or after the institution of such proceedings or before or after sale thereunder, Mortgagor shall, at the option of Mortgagee, surrender to Mortgagee, and Mortgagee shall be entitled to take, actual possession of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property personally or by its agents or attorneys, and Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may enter upon, take and maintain possession of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property.

Foreclosure Sale. The Mortgaged Property or any interest or estate therein sold pursuant to any court order or decree obtained under this Mortgage shall be sold in one parcel, as an entirety, or in such parcels and in such manner or order as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect, to the maximum extent permitted by Illinois law. At any such sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire, as purchaser, all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the indebtedness due the amount of Mortgagee's bid.
Application of Proceeds from Foreclosure Sale. Proceeds of any foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property shall be distributed and applied in the following order of priority: (i) on account of all costs and expenses incident to the foreclosure proceedings, (ii) the amounts owed pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Mortgage, and otherwise due and payable under this Mortgage, with interest thereon at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum (the "Interest Rate"), and (iii) any surplus or remaining funds to Mortgagor, its successors or assigns, as their rights may appear.
Insurance Upon Foreclosure. Wherever provision is made in the Agreement for insurance policies to bear mortgage clauses or other loss payable clauses or endorsements in favor of Mortgagee, or to confer authority upon Mortgagee to settle or participate in the settlement of
80
losses under policies of insurance or to hold and disburse or otherwise control use of insurance proceeds, from and after the entry of judgment of foreclosure all such rights and powers of Mortgagee shall continue in Mortgagee as judgment creditor or mortgagee until confirmation of sale. Upon confirmation of sale, Mortgagee shall be empowered to assign all policies of insurance to the purchaser at the sale. In case of an insured loss after foreclosure proceedings have been instituted, the proceeds of any insurance policy or policies, if not applied in restoring the Mortgaged Property, shall be used to pay the amount due in accordance with any foreclosure decree that may be entered in any such proceedings, and the balance, if any, shall be paid as the court may direct.
Waiver of Statutory Rights. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall not apply for or avail itself of any appraisement, valuation, redemption, reinstatement, stay, extension or exemption laws or any so-called "Moratorium Laws" now existing or hereafter enacted, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of foreclosure of this Mortgage and hereby waives the benefit of such laws. Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim through or under it, waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising the Mortgaged Property marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order the Mortgaged Property sold as an entirety. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption and rein-statement, on its own behalf and on behalf of each and every person having a beneficial interest in Mortgagor, it being the intent hereof that any and all such rights of redemption or rein-statement of Mortgagor and of all other persons are and shall be deemed to be hereby waived. Mortgagor acknowledges that the Mortgaged Property do not constitute agricultural real estate, as said term is defined in Section 5/15-1201 of the Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law, 735 ILCS 5/15-1101, et seq.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Redevelopment Agreement.
Guarantor agrees that until this Guaranty is released pursuant to the terms hereof or the Redevelopment Agreement is terminated by its terms, Guarantor shall not be released by or because of (a) the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceeding affecting Developer or any successor or assign; (b) any modification or amendment of any or all ofthe provisions ofthe Redevelopment Agreement, whether material or otherwise, with or without notice to Guarantor; or (c) any extension of time permitted or required thereby. The foregoing shall be interpreted so as to have Guarantor bound by and benefited by each and every modification or amendment of the Redevelopment Agreement.
This Guaranty shall be deemed to be continuing in nature and shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive the exercise of any remedy by the City under the Redevelopment Agreement. Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Guaranty only upon the ) earlier to occur of (a) repayment of any City Funds due pursuant to the Redevelopment Agreement and, if applicable, the fees and expenses described in the following paragraph (unless this Guaranty is earlier terminated as provided herein) or (b) the termination of the Redevelopment Agreement pursuant to its terms.
Guarantor expressly waives diligence on the part ofthe City in the collection of any sums due as a result of an Event of Default under the Redevelopment Agreement or in the enforcement of any other right, power or remedy provided for in the Redevelopment Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. The City shall be under no obligation to notify Guarantor of its acceptance of this Guaranty or to bring suit to enforce performance of Guarantor's repayment obligations contained in the Redevelopment Agreement or the collection of any sums due under the Redevelopment Agreement or this Guaranty. Guarantor further agrees to pay the City, within thirty (30) days after receipt of demand for same, the City's reasonable attorneys' fees and litigation expenses should this Guaranty be placed in the hands of any attorney for collection or enforcement or should this Guaranty be collected or enforced through any court, but only if the City is the prevailing party, or if an agreement is reached with respect to attorneys' fees and litigation expenses in conjunction with a settlement agreement.
Guarantor hereby agrees that, except as hereinafter provided, its obligations under this Guaranty shall be unconditional, irrespective of (a) the validity or enforceability of Developer's obligations under the Redevelopment Agreement or any part thereof (the "Obligations"), or of any
89
document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (b) the absence of any attempt to collect from Developer or other action to enforce the same, (c) the waiver or consent by the City with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by Developer and delivered to the City, (d) failure by the City to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations, (e) the City's election, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 ofthe United States Code (11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.), as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code"), ofthe application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (f) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by Developer, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (g) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the City's claim(s) for repayment of the Obligations, or (h) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.

No failure by the City to insist upon the strict performance of any provision hereof or of the Redevelopment Agreement or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach ofthe Redevelopment Agreement or performance during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such provision. No waiver by the City of either any breach of the Redevelopment Agreement by Developer or any breach of this Guaranty by Guarantor shall affect or alter this Guaranty or the rights of the City with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.

No delay on the part of the City in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the City of any right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof; nor shall any modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty be binding upon the City, except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by the City.
This Guaranty shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable by the City or by the Guarantor.

Payments by Guarantor shall be applied solely to the repayment obligations set forth in the Redevelopment Agreement and no others.
In the event any provision of this Guaranty is, after completion of all available appeals, found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed severed from this Guaranty ab initio, and the rest of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect as the binding obligation of Guarantor.
Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois.
Guarantor consents and agrees that the City shall not be under any obligation to marshall any assets, as contemplated by the equitable rule of marshalling assets, in favor of Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent that Developer makes a payment or payments of the Obligations to the City, or the City receives any proceeds of collateral in payment therefor, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to Developer, its successors, receiver or any other party, including without limitation Guarantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Obligations or the part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.
This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its heirs, successor legal representatives and successors and shall inure to the benefit ofthe City's successors; all references herein to Developer shall be deemed to include Developer's successors. Developer's successors shall include, without limitation, a receiver, trustee or debtor in possession of or for Developer. All references to the singular shall be deemed to include the plural where the context so requires.
THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED AND ENTERED INTO IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AND SHALL BE INTERPRETED, AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, AND GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AGREES AND SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE CITY OF CHICAGO OR STATE OF ILLINOIS, AND WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON GUARANTOR, AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS BE MADE BY REGISTERED MAIL DIRECTED TO GUARANTOR AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER TO OCCUR OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR TWO BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN DEPOSITED IN THE U.S. MAILS, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO GUARANTOR'S ADDRESS. GUARANTOR WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY, ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY THE COURT.
91
Guarantor agrees that if this Guaranty would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any successor section of that Code) or a fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any state fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law, as in effect from time to time (a "Fraudulent Conveyance"), this Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent which would not have caused this Guaranty to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Guaranty shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times.
Guarantor represents and warrants to the City that Guarantor benefits materially by the execution of the Redevelopment Agreement which it is acknowledged that the City would not enter into without the execution and delivery of this Guaranty.
