C. INCENTIVES
In consideration for the Developer purchasing the Property and completing the Project as set
forth herein, the City agrees to extend to the Developer the following incentives to assist the

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,

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 party to waive any right of remedy hereunder or shall be
deemed to constitute a waiver of other rights and remedies provided said party pursuant to this
Agreement.
P. SEVERABILITY
If any section, subsection, term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to
any party or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of said

https://labor.ilhnois.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.
