The Grantee agrees to accept the property in its "AS
|1010|
IS," "WHERE IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS" condition at closing, with all faults and defects, latent or otherwise, and the City has not made and does not make any covenant, representation or warranty, express or implied, of any kind, or give any indemnification of any kind to the Grantee, with respect to the structural, physical or environmental condition of the value of the property, its compliance with any statute, ordinance or regulation, or its habitability, suitability, merchantability or fitness for any purpose whatsoever.

Furthermore, the Grantee shall indemnify, defend (through an attorney reasonably acceptable to the City) and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses which may be made or asserted by any third parties (including, without limitation, any of the Grantee 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.

It is expressly agreed and understood by and between the Grantee and the City that, should any future obligation of the Grantee or Grantee Parties arise or be alleged to arise in connection with any environmental, soil or other condition of the Property, the Grantee and any of the Grantee Parties shall not assert that those obligations must be satisfied in whole or in part by the City, because Section 3 contains a full, complete and final release of all such claims, except as provided in such section forthe City's gross negligence or willful misconduct prior to or following the Closing Date.

Grantee acknowledges that City is not liable for, or bound in any manner by, any express or implied warranties, guarantees, promises, statements, inducements, representations or information pertaining to the Property made or furnished by any real estate agent, broker, employee, or other person representing or purporting to represent the City, including, without limitation, with respect to the physical condition, size, zoning, income potential, expenses or operation thereof, the uses that can be made of the same or in any manner or thing with respect thereof.

Prior to renovation of the building, the Grantee must obtain a hazardous materials survey and develop an abatement plan, if deemed necessary by the City, and its final Working Drawings and Specifications must be consistent with such abatement plan. Lead-based paint and asbestos abatement must be completed in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations and, as required by the City, the Grantee must develop and either implement or cause to be implemented an operations and maintenance plans for any regulated materials to be left in place.
The Grantee provided the City with a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) compliant with ASTM E-1527 for the Property prior to the conveyance of the Property. The Phase I ESA is dated May 11, 2021 and must be within 180 days prior to Closing or an updated report will be required.
The Phase I ESA for the Property, dated May 11, 2021, identified a Recognized Environmental Condition ("REC"). Additionally, AIS concluded that a de minimis condition identified in the report to be an additional REC. Therefore, the Grantee
|1010|
performed a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment ("Phase II ESA") to ascertain the presence of any environmental impacts that may be associated with the RECs.
The Grantee shall cooperate and consult with the City at all relevant times (and in all cases upon the City's request) with respect to environmental matters. AIS shall have the right to review and approve the sufficiency of the Phase I and Phase II ESAs. The City must be named in a reliance letter for all environmental assessment reports produced concerning the Property.
The City reviewed and approved the scope of work prior to the Phase II ESA being conducted. The Phase II ESA, dated July 8, 2021, was approved by the City. The results of the Phase II ESA indicated that none of the targeted parameters were detected at concentrations exceeding TACO Tier I soil or groundwater remediation objectives as determined by Title 35 ofthe Illinois Administrative Code ("IAC") Part 742. The City has determined that it is not necessary to enroll the Property in the SRP.
The Grantee shall remove any soil or soil gas not meeting the requirements of 35 IAC Section 742.305. Any additional discovered underground storage tanks ("USTs") identified must be removed and closed in accordance with applicable regulations including Title 41 of IAC Part 175 and any identified leaking USTs must be properly addressed in accordance with 35 IAC Part 734.
|1010|
EXHIBIT C
City Resident Employment Requirement
Grantee agrees, and shall contractually obligate each of its various contractors, subcontractors and any affiliate of Grantee operating on the Property (collectively, the "Employers" and individually, an "Employer") to agree, that during the Project, Grantee and each Employer shall comply with the minimum percentage of total worker hours performed by actual residents of the City of Chicago as specified in Section 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code (at least fifty percent); provided, however, that doing so does not violate a collective bargaining agreement of Grantee or an Employer and that in addition to complying with this percentage, Grantee and each Employer shall be required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified residents ofthe City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions.
Grantee and the Employers 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 of the City of Chicago.
"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.
Grantee and the Employers shall provide for the maintenance of adequate employee residency records to ensure that actual Chicago residents are employed on the Project. Grantee and the Employers shall maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every Chicago employee's actual record of residence.
Grantee and the Employers shall submit weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) to 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 Grantee or Employer hired the employee should be written in after the employee's name.
Grantee and the Employers shall provide full access to their employment records to the chief procurement officer, DPD, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the inspector general, or any duly authorized representative thereof. Grantee and the Employers shall maintain all relevant personnel data and records for a period of at least three (3) years after the issuance of the Certificate of Completion.
At the direction of DPD, Grantee and the Employers shall provide affidavits and other supporting documentation to verify or clarify an employee's actual address when doubt or lack of clarity has arisen.
Good faith efforts on the part of Grantee and the Employers 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 Exhibit C concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
|10 10|
(i) If the City determines that Grantee or an Employer failed to ensure the fulfillment ofthe requirements of this Exhibit C 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 Exhibit C. If such non-compliance is not remedied, 1/20 of 1 percent (.05%) ofthe aggregate hard construction costs set forth in the Project budget shall be surrendered by Grantee 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 ofthe categories. The willful falsification of statements and the certification of payroll data may subject Grantee and/or the other Employers or employees to prosecution.
(j) 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.
(k) Grantee shall cause or require the provisions of this Exhibit C to be included in all construction contracts and subcontracts related to the Project.

Grantee 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 of the Project, and the City's monitoring staff shall have access to all such records maintained by GRANTEE, on prior notice of at least five (5) business days, to allow the City to review GRANTEE'S compliance with its commitment to MBEAA/BE participation and the status of any MBE or WBE performing any portion ofthe Project.
Upon the disqualification of any MBE or WBE general contractor or subcontractor, if the disqualified party misrepresented such status, Grantee 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, as applicable.
Any reduction or waiver of Grantee's MBEAA/BE commitment as described in this Exhibit D shall be undertaken in accordance with Sections 2-92-450 and 2-92-730, Municipal Code, as applicable.
