Redevelopment Agreement,the Non-defaulting Party shall have such other equity rights and remedies
as are available to them at law or in equity.Any damages payable by the City hereunder shall be limited
to the real estate tax increment payable to the Developer under the terms of this Agreement.

Redevelopment Agreement unless it shall have failed to perform such monetary covenant within thirty
(30) days of its receipt of a notice from a Non-defaulting Party specifying that it has failed to perform
such monetary covenant. In the event a Defaulting Party fails to perform any nonmonetary covenant
as and when it is required to under this Redevelopment Agreement, it shall not be deemed to be in
default if it shall have cured such default within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a notice from a Non-
defaulting Party specifying the nature of the default, provided, however, with respect to those
nonmonetary defaults which are not capable of being cured within such thirty(30) day period,it shall

within six (6) months following the date of execution of this Agreement. Failure to do so shall be

of this Agreement on its part to be performed if the Developer or City fails to timely perform the
same and such failure is due in whole, or in part, to any strike, lock-out, labor trouble (whether legal
or illegal), civil disorder,inability to procure materials,weather conditions wet soil conditions, failure
or interruptions of power, restrictive governmental laws and regulations, condemnation, riots,
insurrections,war, fuel shortages, accidents, casualties,Acts of God, acts caused directly or indirectly
by the City(or the City's agents,employees or invitees)when applicable to Developer or third parties,
or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Developer or the City.

of this Agreement) and obligations (or either of them) of the Developer under this Agreement shall
not be assignable unless by written authorization of the City.
9

Any parry to this Agreement may elect to waive any remedy it may enjoy hereunder,provided
that no such waiver shall be deemed to exist unless the party waiving such right of remedy does so in
writing. No such waiver shall obligate such parry to waive any right of remedy hereunder or shall be
deemed to constitute a waiver of other rights and remedies provided said parry pursuant to this
Agreement.
O. SEVERABILITY
If any section, subsection, term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to
any parry or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of said

V. ILLINOIS PREVAILING WAGE ACT
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 Sales Tax Reimbursements received by private
developers as reimbursement for private redevelopment project costs. This position of the
Department of Labor is stated as an answer to a FAQ on its website at https://labor.illinois.gov/.
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. 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.
