and hold harmless the City, and all City elected or appointed officials, officers, employees, agents,

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. 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. Failure to comply with
any of these requirements may cause all benefits hereunder to be terminated by the City.
