Q. INDEMNIFICATION OF CITY
It is the understanding of the Parties that the position of the Illinois Department of Labor is
that the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act does not apply to TIF increment received by developers as

stated as an answer to a FAQ on its web site at:
https://www.illinois.gov/idol/FAQs/Pages/prevailing-wage-faq.aspx. The Developer shall
indemnify and hold harmless the City, and all City elected or appointed officials, officers, employees,
agents, representatives, engineers, consultants and attorneys (collectively, the Indemnified Parties),
from any and all claims that may be asserted against the Indemnified Parties or one or more of them,
in connection with the applicability, determination, and/or payments made under the Illinois
Prevailing Wage Act (820 ILCS 130/0.01 et. seq.), the Illinois Procurement Code, and/or any similar
State or Federal law or regulation. In addition, the Developer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the City for any claim asserted against the City arising from the Developer's Project and/or this
Agreement or any challenge to the eligibility of project costs reimbursed to the Developer hereunder.
This obligation to indemnify and hold harmless obligates Developer to defend any such claim and/or
action, pay any liabilities and/or penalties imposed, and pay all defense costs of City, including but
not limited to the reasonable attorney fees of City.
R. TITLES OF PARAGRAPHS
Titles of the several parts,paragraphs, sections or articles of this Agreement are inserted for
convenience of reference only and shall be disregarded in construing or interpreting any provisions
hereof.
S. WARRANTY OF SIGNATORIES
The signatories of Developer warrant full authority to both execute this Agreement and to
bind the entity in which they are signing on behalf of.
T. TERM OF THE AGREEMENT
This Agreement shall expire on the date that is three (3) years from the date the loan funds
provided for in Section C above are disbursed to the Developer. The Agreement shall expire sooner
if the Developer files for bankruptcy or otherwise becomes insolvent, the Property becomes subject
of foreclosure proceedings or up on any other default by the Developer of the Agreement.
