of Illinois constitutional or statutory provision and shall not constitute or give rise to a pecuniary
liability of the City or a charge or lien against any City fund nor obligate the City to utilize its taxing
authority to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.

H. DEFAULT; CURE; REMEDIES
In the event of a default under this Agreement by any Party hereto (the "Defaulting Party' ,
which default is not cured within the cure period provided for below,then the other Party (the"Non-
defaulting Party") shall have an action for damages, or in the event damages would not fairly
compensate the Non-defaulting Parry's for the Defaulting Party's breach of this 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 Municipal Sales Tax
Revenues payable under the terms of this Agreement.
In the event a Defaulting Party shall fail to perform a monetary covenant which it is required
to perform under this Agreement,it shall not be deemed to be in default under this 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 non-monetary covenant as and when it is required to
under this 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 Parry specifying the nature of the
default, provided, however, with respect to those non-monetary defaults which are not capable of
being cured within such thirty (30) day period,it shall not be deemed to be in default if it commences
curing within such thirty (30) day period, and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes the
8
i
cure of such default until the same has been cured.
I. TIME; FORCE MAJEURE
For this Agreement, time is of the essence. The Developer agrees to complete the Project on
or before April 30, 2026, subject to extension due to Force Majeure (defined below). Failure to do
so shall be cause for the City to declare the Developer in default and unilaterally terminate the
Agreement after notice and the opportunity to cure as provided in Section `TI." However, the
Developer and the City shall not be deemed in default with respect to any obligations of this
Agreement on its part to be performed if the Developer or the 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 or any other cause beyond the
reasonable control of the Developer or the City.
J. ASSIGNMENT
The rights (including,but not limited to, the right to payments contemplated by Section "B"
of this Agreement) and obligations (or either of them) of the Developer under this Agreement may
only be assignable upon the express written permission of the City in its sole discretion,and provided
that any assignee has the financial capability of undertaking the Project.
K PREPAYMENTS
Should the annual BDD Revenue generated by the Project be sufficient to pay all the
Developer's BDD Eligible Project Costs prior to the expiration of the term of this Agreement, City
may,in its sole discretion,elect to pay all or a portion of the then remaining future reimbursements in
a single lump sum payment.
L. WAIVER
Any Party 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 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.
M. 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
section, subsection, term or provision of this Agreement or the application of same to parties or
circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected
thereby.

under the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act (820 ILCS 130/0.01 et. seg.), 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.
