O. Executive Order 2011-4. NeighborSpace agrees that NeighborSpace, any person or entity who directly or indirectly has an ownership or beneficial interest in NeighborSpace of more than 7.5 percent ("Owners"), spouses and domestic partners of such Owners, NeighborSpace's Subcontractors, any person or entity who directly or

14

indirectly has an ownership or beneficial interest in any Subcontractors of more than 7.5 percent ("Sub-owners") and spouses and domestic partners of such Sub-owners (NeighborSpace and all the other preceding classes of persons and entities are together, the "Identified Parties"), shall not make a contribution of any amount to the Mayor of the City (the "Mayor") or to his political fundraising committee (i) after execution of this bid, proposal or Agreement by NeighborSpace, while this Agreement or any Other Contract is executory, (ii) during the term of this Agreement or any Other Contract between NeighborSpace and the City, and/or (iii) during any period while an extension of this Agreement or any Other Contract is being sought or negotiated.

NeighborSpace represents and warrants that since the date of public advertisement of the specification, request for qualifications, request for proposals or request for information (or any combination of those requests) or, if not competitively procured, from the date the City approached NeighborSpace or the date NeighborSpace approached the City, as applicable, regarding the formulation of this Agreement, no Identified Parties have made a contribution of any amount to the Mayor or to his political fundraising committee.

NeighborSpace agrees that NeighborSpace shall not: (a) coerce, compel or intimidate NeighborSpace's employees to make a contribution of any amount to the Mayor or to the Mayor's political fundraising committee; (b) reimburse NeighborSpace's employees for a contribution of any amount made to the Mayor or to the Mayor's political fundraising committee; or (c) bundle or solicit others to bundle contributions to the Mayor or to his political fundraising committee.

NeighborSpace agrees that a violation of, non-compliance with, misrepresentation with respect to, or breach of any covenant or warranty under this provision or violation of Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4 constitutes a breach and default under this Agreement, and under any Other Contract for which no opportunity to cure will be granted. Such breach and default entitles the City to all remedies (including without limitation termination for default) under this Agreement, under any Other Contract, at law and in equity. This provision amends any Other Contract and supersedes any inconsistent provision contained therein.

If NeighborSpace violates this provision or Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4 prior to award of the Agreement resulting from this specification, the Commissioner may reject NeighborSpace's bid.

For purposes of this provision:

"Other Contract" means any other agreement with the City to which NeighborSpace are a party that is (i) formed under the authority of chapter 2-92 of the Code; (ii) entered into for the purchase or lease of real or personal property; or (iii) for materials, supplies, equipment or services which are approved or authorized by the City Council.

P. FOIA and Local Records Act Compliance.
FOIA. NeighborSpace acknowledges that the City is subject to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5ILCS 140/1 et seg, as amended ("FOIA"). The FOIA requires the City to produce records (very broadly defined in FOIA) in response to a FOIA request in a very short period of time, unless the records requested are exempt under the FOIA. If NeighborSpace receives a request from the City to produce records within the scope of FOIA, then NeighborSpace covenants to comply with such request within 48 hours of the date of such request. Failure by NeighborSpace to timely comply with such request will be a breach of this Agreement.
Exempt Information. Documents that NeighborSpace submits to the City during the term of the Agreement that contain trade secrets and commercial or financial information may be exempt if disclosure would result in competitive harm. However, for documents submitted by NeighborSpace to be treated as a trade secret or information that would cause competitive harm, FOIA requires that NeighborSpace mark any such documents as "proprietary, privileged or confidential." If NeighborSpace marks a document as "proprietary, privileged and confidential", then DPD will evaluate whether such document may be withheld under the FOIA. DPD, in its discretion, will determine whether a document will be exempted from disclosure, and that determination is subject to review by the Illinois Attorney General's Office and/or the courts.
Local Records Act. NeighborSpace acknowledges that the City is subject to the Local Records Act, 50 ILCS 205/1 et. seq, as amended (the "Local Records Act"). The Local Records Act provides that public records may only be disposed of as provided in the Local Records Act. If requested by the City, NeighborSpace covenants to

16

use its best efforts consistently applied to assist the City in its compliance with the Local Records Act concerning records arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated in the Agreement.
