or City staff, or both (as determined by the City), as reasonably requested, and make

presentations to the corporate authorities once a calendar year if requested by the City Manager

in order to keep the City apprised of the progress of the construction of the Project.

Section 6.6. Developer's Cooperation and Coordination. During the construction of the

Project, the Developer shall provide such notices and attend such community and neighborhood

Developer in consultation, to keep the residents and local businesses in the immediate vicinity of

the Redevelopment Property fully informed of progress on the Project and any reasonable

measures that the City and the Developer believe prudent for the residents to take to minimize

construction-related inconvenience. The Developer shall also stage its construction of the

Project to avoid to the fullest extent possible any such community disruption. During

construction, the Developer shall on a daily basis keep all streets immediately adjacent to the

Project free of any construction-related debris. Within three (3) business hours (i.e., between

7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Saturday) after notice from the City that one or more streets within the Project are not

complaint. In the event that the Developer fails three (3) times to remedy a complaint under this

Section with regard to properly cleaning a street, the Developer, upon the fourth violation, shall

pay the City the sum of $750.00 for each such subsequent violation. In the event the Developer

fails to timely remedy any complaint pursuant to this Section, the City may enter upon the

Redevelopment Property and perform such maintenance and/or may remedy any complaint

concerning an adjacent area and bill the Developer for all costs incurred in connection therewith.

Section 6.7. Additional Representations and Warranties of the Developer

A. The Developer is a Delaware limited liability company duly organized and


existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is authorized
to and has the power to enter into, and by proper action has been duly authorized to
execute, deliver and perform, this Agreement. The Developer is solvent, able to pay its
debts as they mature and financially able to perform all the terms of this Agreement. To
the Developer's knowledge, there are no actions at law or similar proceedings which are
pending or threatened against the Developer which, if determined adversely, would result
in any material and adverse change to the Developer's financial condition and which
would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Developer to proceed with the
construction and development of the Project. The Developer will do or cause to be done
all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and
standing as a Delaware limited liability company, so long as the Developer maintains an
interest in the Redevelopment Property or has any other remaining obligations pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement.

B. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Developer,


the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Developer, nor the
fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement by the
Developer conflicts with or will result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or
provisions of any offerings or disclosure statement made or to be made on behalf of the
Developer (with the Developer's prior written approval), any organizational documents,
any restriction, agreement or instrument to which the Developer or any of its partners or
venturers is now a party or by which the Developer or any of its partners or its venturers
is bound, or constitutes a default under any of the foregoing, or results in the creation or
imposition of any prohibited lien, charge or encumbrance whatsoever upon any of the
assets or rights of the Developer, any related party or any of its venturers under the terms
of any instrument or agreement to which the Developer, any related party or any of its
partners or venturers is now a party or by which the Developer, any related party or any
of its venturers is bound.

C. The Developer has sufficient financial and economic resources to


implement and complete the Developer's obligations contained in this Agreement. Prior
to acquisition of the Redevelopment Property, the Developer will have obtained a firm
commitment from a financial institution or institutional investor(s) or investment group(s)
providing all monies required by the Project Budget or alternatively will provide proof of
access to sufficient funds pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

D. The Project requires economic assistance from the City in order to


commence and complete the Project and, but for the economic assistance to be given by

18
602156.16
the City as heretofore stated, the Project as contemplated would not be economically
viable nor would the funds necessary for its completion be made available.

E. The Developer shall at all times comply with all applicable provisions of
the City Code.

F. Subject to the Developer's right to contest the same and subject to all
applicable cure periods, the Developer shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations of the State of Illinois, the County of DuPage and the United States of
America, and any and all agencies or subdivisions thereof, and all other governmental
bodies and agencies having jurisdiction over the Redevelopment Property.

G. Subject to the Developer's right to contest the same and subject to all
applicable cure periods, the Developer shall comply in all material respects with all
terms, provisions and conditions, and that it shall not default or permit a continuing
default under any document or agreement relating to the Project or the financing and
development of the Project, including but not limited to this Agreement, and all
agreements and documentation executed and delivered in connection with any financing
or loans for the Project, a default under which would have a material adverse effect on
the City.

H. No officer, member, manager, stockholder, employee or agent of the


Developer, or any other Person connected with the Developer, has knowingly made,
offered or given, either directly or indirectly, to any member of the corporate authorities,
or any officer, employee or agent of the City, or any other Person connected with the
City, any money or anything of value as a gift or bribe or other means of influencing his
or her action in his or her capacity with the City, to the extent prohibited under applicable
law.

I. In accordance with Illinois law, 50 ILCS 105/3.1, simultaneously with the


execution of this Agreement by the Parties, the Developer or an authorized managing
member thereof shall submit a sworn affidavit to the City disclosing the identity of the
owners of all membership interests of the Developer. The sworn affidavit shall be
substantially similar to the one described in Exhibit E, attached hereto and made a part of
this Agreement. Said affidavit shall be updated, as necessary.

K. As of the Effective Date, the cost of the Project is anticipated to be at least


Fifty-Three Million Dollars ($53,000,000.00).

L. The Developer has not engaged the services of any finder or broker with
respect to the purchase of any of the Redevelopment Property and the Developer is not
liable for any real estate commissions, broker's fees, or finder's fees which may accrue by
means of the acquisitions of any portion of the Redevelopment Property, other than
Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, and the Developer agrees to hold the City harmless from
such commissions or fees as are found to be due from the Developer.

7. UNDERTAKINGS OF THE DEVELOPER AND CITY.

Section 7.1. Developer Undertaking for Payment of Real Estate Taxes.

A. Covenant. The Parties acknowledge that certain assumptions have been


made relative to the future market value and assessed valuation of the Redevelopment
Property, as improved pursuant to this Agreement under the Act, and further
acknowledge that attaining and maintaining such assessed valuation will have a material
impact on the revenues available to support and amortize the Redevelopment Project
Costs for this Project in the Redevelopment Area in accordance with the Redevelopment
Plan. Accordingly, the Developer hereby covenants to develop and, during the term of
this Agreement, as set forth in Section 17.17 of this Agreement, use the Redevelopment
Property as provided herein.

B. Restrictions. Following finalization of the initial assessment of the


Redevelopment Property following substantial completion of the Project, the Developer,
its successors and assigns, agrees that it will not protest, object to or otherwise (i) petition
for a reduction to any real estate tax assessment attributable to the Redevelopment
Property and/or Project in any manner that would reduce the assessed value of the
Redevelopment Property and/or Project for real estate tax years through and including
2021 or (ii) seek a refund of the general ad valorem real estate taxes attributable to the
Redevelopment Property and/or Project for real estate tax years through and including
2021. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the assessed valuation of the
Redevelopment Property and/or Project is materially inconsistent with similarly situated
property, the Developer may, upon prior notice to and written consent from the City,
protest the assessed value of the Redevelopment Property and/or Project.

the City as follows:

A. Pursuant to the Project Schedule and any revisions thereto, the Developer
shall use reasonable efforts to timely obtain all final zoning and subdivision entitlement
approvals and building permits relating to the Project, it being understood and agreed that
the City has the discretion established by law to approve, amend or deny all such
approvals and permits and the City shall not be deemed to have caused a default
hereunder or have any liability for its failure to approve such entitlements and/or work;
provided, however, the City agrees to use good faith and reasonable efforts to assist the
Developer in obtaining such permits.

B. Pursuant to the Project Schedule and any permitted revisions thereto, the
Developer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain any other final approvals necessary from
any governmental unit or agency other than the City which has jurisdiction or authority
over any portion of the Project.

20
602156.16
C. The Developer will comply with all of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement, and the Developer has not received any notice of any violation of the City
Code, or of any applicable laws of the State of Illinois or the United States of America,
and/or any agency or subdivision thereof, as well as any ordinances and resolutions of the
City pertaining to the Project which by their respective terms are to have been complied
with prior to the completion of the Project. The Developer shall provide the City with
any notices received throughout the term of this Agreement relating to the
Redevelopment Property which may have a material and adverse impact on the Project,
specifically including any notices regarding any tax delinquencies.

D. If a land trust or limited partnership shall become the owner of the


Redevelopment Property, the Developer will require the sole beneficiaries of the trust or
the partners in the limited partnership shall have delivered to the land trustee or general
partners, as the case may be, an irrevocable letter of direction indicating that any notice
received by the land trustee or limited partnership which adversely impacts the
Developer's title to or interest in the Redevelopment Property, including but not limited
to any notice of failure to pay real estate taxes, notice of foreclosure or notice of
mechanic's lien(s) on the Redevelopment Property, will be sent to the City within three
(3) business days following receipt thereof. Such letter of direction shall be irrevocable
for so long as the City is required to make payments under this Agreement. The
Developer also agrees to send to the City any such notice received by either of them
within three (3) days of receipt.

E. If (i) Developer acquires the Redevelopment Property and commences


construction of the Project, (ii) the City reimburses Developer for the environmental
remediation Redevelopment Project Costs pursuant to subsection 5.1(C)(i)(a), (iii)
Developer fails to timely complete the Project, and (iv) the environmental remediation
Redevelopment Project Costs reimbursed by the City as aforesaid exceeds the real estate
tax increment generated by the Project, then Developer shall pay any such excess to the
City.

F. The Developer shall promptly pay when due all real estate taxes and other
taxes and charges assessed, levied or imposed against the Redevelopment Property.

Section 7.3. Undertakings on the Part of the Developer.

A. If the Developer acquires the Redevelopment Property and elects to


commence construction of the Project, then the Developer will construct the Project in
accordance with the Project Schedule and any revisions thereto, and shall not cause or
permit the existence of any violation of the City Code. The Developer shall use
reasonable efforts to substantially complete the entire Project in accordance with the
Project Schedule and any revisions thereto, or by such later time as may be agreed by and
between the City and the Developer, with such substantial completion to be evidenced by
(i) copies of all paid invoices for the portions of the Project to be financed by the City,
(ii) a certificate of substantial completion signed by the Developer's architect or project
manager, and (iii) all such inspections and approvals as may be required by City Code. If

21
602156.16
requested by the Developer, the City shall provide to the Developer a written statement
confirming such substantial completion for the purposes of this Agreement.

B. The Developer shall require the title holder of record (if at any time
different from the Developer) of the Redevelopment Property to give the City notice
within ten (10) days of receipt of same regarding any forfeiture on the financing
documents by the Developer for the financing of the Project or its subsequent purchase,
and any tax and/or "scavenger" sale of the Redevelopment Property, or any portion
thereof.

C. The Developer covenants that it shall use reasonable efforts to furnish or


cause the tenants of any retail business to submit to the City copies of the tenants'
monthly and annual sales tax reports as filed with the Illinois Department of Revenue.
The terms of this Section shall, to the extent possible, be incorporated in the leases for
such retail businesses and shall survive the issuance of the Certificate of Completion. To
the extent the documents submitted to the City pursuant to this paragraph are not
considered public documents pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act or other
laws, they shall be deemed confidential and proprietary. This covenant shall survive the
issuance of the Certificate of Completion, but shall not apply to a commercial unit sold
by Developer.

D. The Developer and the City each represent to the other that it has not
engaged the services of any finder or broker with respect to the purchase of any land
related to the Project and that it is not liable for any real estate commissions, broker's
fees, or finder's fees which may accrue by means of the acquisitions of any portion of the
Redevelopment Property, and each agrees to hold the other harmless from such
commissions or fees as are found to be due from the Party making such representations.

Section 7.4. Undertakings on the Part of the City.

A. The City shall, at its cost and expense, use commercially reasonable
efforts to relocate the electrical power lines, gas lines and telecommunication lines as
described on Exhibit F attached hereto and made a part hereof. If the City fails to so
relocate the electrical power lines, gas lines and telecommunication lines in sufficient
time to permit the Developer to proceed with the construction and development of the
Project, then such failure shall be an Uncontrollable Circumstance and the Project
Schedule shall be automatically extended for the period of delay in construction of the
Project attributable to such failure.

B. The City shall, within sixty (60) days following the preparation of the
necessary legal description, commence an action in the DuPage County Circuit Court
seeking to remove the residential portion of the Project from City of Elmhurst Special
Service Area No. Six (SSA No. 6), and the City shall diligently prosecute the same to
completion and apprise the Developer of the status of such removal efforts from time to
time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided the City has complied with the foregoing,
the Citys inability or failure to remove the Redevelopment Property from SSA No. 6

22
602156.16
shall not be deemed a default of this Agreement and the City shall not be liable for any
additional taxes paid by the Developer as a result of the Redevelopment Property
remaining in SSA No. 6.

8. ADHERENCE TO CITY CODES AND ORDINANCES. The Developer shall

comply with all applicable provisions in the City Code and all other applicable codes and

during the course of construction of the Project. The Developer is familiar with all of the

covenants, conditions, restrictions, building regulations, zoning ordinances, property

maintenance regulations, environmental laws (including any law relating to public health, safety

the Developer shall reimburse the City from time to time on written demand from the City

Manager and notice of the amount due for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and

expenses, including but not limited to court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, witnesses' fees

and/or other litigation expenses incurred by the City in connect therewith.

Section 12.5. No Waiver by Delay or Otherwise. Any delay by either Party in instituting

or prosecuting any actions or proceedings or otherwise asserting its rights under this Agreement

shall not operate to act as a waiver of such rights or to deprive it of or limit such rights in any

way (it being the intent of this provision that neither Party should be deprived of or limited in the

exercise of the remedies provided in this Agreement because of concepts of waiver, laches or

otherwise); nor shall any waiver in fact made with respect to any specific event of default be

considered or treated as a waiver of the rights by the waiving Party of any future event of default

hereunder, except to the extent specifically waived in writing. No waiver made with respect to

the performance, nor the manner or time thereof, of any obligation or any condition under the

Agreement shall be considered a waiver of any rights except if expressly waived in writing.

Section 12.6. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as may be specifically provided

for in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties to this Agreement, whether provided

by law or by this Agreement, shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of such

remedies shall not preclude the exercise by such Party, at that time or different times, of any

other such remedies for the same event of default.

13. COSTS OF THE PROJECT.

Section 13.1. Budget. Attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit G is the

Developer's good faith estimate of the overall costs of the Project (the "Budget") as of the

Effective Date.

Section 13.2. Developer's Cost. Subject to reimbursement of the City Incentives, as

provided herein, the Developer shall be responsible for the entire cost of constructing the Project.

Section 13.3. Developer's Budget Management. Should the actual cost or expense of the

Project be greater than the amount set forth in the Budget, the Developer shall be required to pay

such excess costs.

14. PROJECT AUDIT. Upon reasonable notice, the City and its representatives and

consultants shall have access to all portions of the Project during reasonable times for the term of

this Agreement. Upon reasonable notice, during business hours and at the office of the

Developer, the City and its representatives and consultants (which consultants shall not be

compensated on a contingency fee or other similar basis) shall make available for review the

books and records relating to the Developer's costs with respect to the Project to enable the City

to verify the Redevelopment Project Costs with respect thereto, including, but not limited to, the

Developer's, general contractor's and contractor's sworn statements, general contracts,

subcontracts, purchase orders, waivers of lien, paid receipts and invoices. These records shall be

available for inspection, audit and examination. The City agrees to keep all financial information

of the Developer confidential, except to the extent required for compliance with any applicable

law, rule or regulation.

32
602156.16
15. CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT.

Section 15.1. Delivery of Building and Engineering Plans. The Developer shall,

pursuant to the Project Schedule, cause to be delivered to the City for review and approval the

building and final engineering plans for the Project. The Developer shall also file at appropriate

times and diligently pursue all required applications and supporting documentation as may be

necessary to secure any permit required to be issued by any other unit of government whose

approval is a necessary precondition to the Developer's right to construct the Project.

Section 15.2. Plan Review Cooperation. The City agrees to meet with the Developer and

its authorized agents as frequently as may reasonably be necessary to coordinate the preparation

of, submission to and review and approval by the City of the Project building permit

applications. Any errors or omissions of the City in the review of and comments provided in

response to the submittals shall not constitute a waiver of the application of the City's ordinances

and regulations related to the Project.

Section 15.3. Corrected Documents. Should the City reject any submitted building

permit applications for failure to comply with the Final Plans, the City shall identify such

failure(s) with specificity and the Developer shall, within twenty-one (21) business days, or such

other reasonable time, after receiving written notice thereof, cause revised documents to be

prepared and submitted to the City. This process, within the time frames herein stipulated, shall

be repeated as often as may be necessary until the documents are in compliance with the Final

Plans and applicable laws and ordinances, except that all submittals after the initial submittal

shall be reviewed by the City within such shorter period as may be reasonably practical.

16. FINAL PROJECT COSTS RECAPTURE; EXCESS PROFIT.

Section 16.1. Final Certification of Project Budget; Recapture.

33
602156.16
A. The Developer acknowledges that the level of financial assistance provided by the

City herein is based upon the Budget, attached hereto as Exhibit G. Within sixty (60) days after

issuance of a final certificate of occupancy for the Project, the Developer shall submit to the City

a certification (Cost Certificate) of actual costs incurred in connection with the Project

described in the estimates set forth in each of the categories as shown on Exhibit G, and shall

provide the City and the Financial Consultant (as herein defined) electronic access to all sworn

contractors statements, construction contracts and such other documents evidencing the actual

costs incurred in connection with the Project described in the estimates set forth in each of the

categories as shown on Exhibit G, as may be reasonably requested by the City (Final Project

Cost). The City and the Financial Consultant shall have ninety (90) days following receipt of

the foregoing materials to review the Cost Certificate and the documentation evidencing the

actual costs incurred in connection with the Project and shall notify the Developer in writing if

the Cost Certificate and submitted documentation are reasonably acceptable to the City within

such ninety (90) day time period; provided, however, if the City reasonably requires additional

time and gives Developer written notice thereof prior to the end of such 90-day period, then such

90-day period may be extended for an additional sixty (60) days. If the Cost Certificate and

submitted documentation are not reasonably acceptable to the City, then the Parties shall

cooperate in good faith to resolve the Citys objections, and if, within thirty (30) days, the Parties

are not able to mutually resolve the same and agree upon the Final Project Cost, then the Final

Project Cost shall be determined by binding arbitration, in accordance with the Project Cost

Arbitration Methodology set forth in Section 16.1(B). In the event the Final Project Cost

(whether determined upon agreement by the Parties or resulting from the decision under

arbitration) is less than the estimated cost of the Project set forth in the Budget, fifty (50%)

34
602156.16
percent of such amount ("Recapture Payment") shall be paid to the City within thirty (30) days

after determination of the Final Project Cost. The Recapture Payment shall in no event exceed

the amount of the City Incentive. In the event the Recapture Payment is greater than

$400,000.00, the amount by which the Recapture Payment exceeds $400,000.00 shall not be paid

by the Developer to the City, it being understood that the amount of such excess shall be credited

against any future amount due to the Developer pursuant to Section 5.1(C)(i)(b) of this

Agreement.

B. "Project Cost Arbitration Methodology" shall mean the methodology set forth

below to determine the Final Project Cost, in accordance with this Section 16.1(B) in the event

the Parties are not otherwise able to reach agreement as to the Final Project Cost within the time

period prescribed in this Agreement. Following any inability of the Parties to reach agreement

with respect to the Final Project Cost within the time period prescribed in this Agreement, either

party (the "Arbitration Requesting Party") may notify the other party (the "Arbitration Non-

Requesting Party"), in writing ("Arbitration Project Cost Notice"), of the Arbitration

Requesting Party's desire to have the Final Project Cost determined by binding arbitration in

accordance with the provisions set forth herein. The Arbitration Project Cost Notice shall

include the name, address and professional qualifications of the person designated to act as

arbitrator on its behalf. Within ten (10) days after service of the Arbitration Project Cost Notice,

the Arbitration Non-Requesting Party shall give written notice to the Arbitration Requesting

Party specifying the name, address and professional qualifications of the person designated to act

as arbitrator on behalf of the Arbitration Non-Requesting Party. The two (2) arbitrators so

appointed shall each determine the Final Project Cost by reviewing and analyzing the

certification of actual costs incurred by the Developer, together with any such other documents

35
602156.16
evidencing the cost of the Project, along with other documents deemed relevant by the

arbitrators, and each shall submit a copy of the arbitrators determination of the Final Project

Cost, along with supporting documentation to the Parties in writing, within thirty (30) days after

appointment. If the lesser of such determinations when multiplied by 105% exceeds the higher

of such determination, then the Final Project Cost shall be the average of the two determined

amounts. If the lesser of such determination when multiplied by 105% does not exceed the

higher of such determinations, then the two (2) arbitrators shall, within ten (10) days after

delivery of the second determination, select a third arbitrator who shall determinate the Final

Project Cost based upon the arbitrators determinations and supporting documentation, and such

additional documentation and/or information the third arbitrator shall deem relevant. The

determination of the third arbitrator shall be given within a period of twenty (20) days after the

appointment of such third arbitrator.

All arbitrators appointed by or on behalf of either Party or appointed pursuant to the

provisions hereof, shall be a real estate professional with not less than ten (10) years of

experience in multi-family real estate, and devoting substantially all of their time to professional

construction work at the time of appointment and be in all respects impartial and disinterested. If

the Arbitration Non-Requesting Party fails to appoint its arbitrator within the time specified

above, or if the two (2) arbitrators so selected cannot agree on the selection of the third arbitrator

within the time above specified, then either party, on behalf of both parties, may request the

appointment of such second or third arbitrator, as the case may be, by application to any Judge of

the Circuit Court of the County of DuPage, State of Illinois, upon ten (10) days' prior written

notice to the other party of such intent. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the

36
602156.16
arbitrator appointed by or on behalf of such party and the fees and expenses of the third arbitrator

shall be borne equally by the parties, and shall not be considered a Project Cost.

Section 16.2. Excess Profit Calculation and Documentation.

A. Upon the occurrence of the Capital Event, the Developer shall pay to the City an

amount ("Excess Profit") which is a portion of the amount (Profit) by which the total revenue

from the Project exceeds the total costs of the Project in accordance with the schedule in Section

16.3 below. Calculation of Excess Profit will be performed based on a standard unlevered

Internal Rate of Return financial model calculating a return on the Project's total costs, net

operating income, and net proceeds, if any, from the Capital Event (the "IRR"). The IRR will be

calculated via numerical iteration from the sum of: "total project expenditures" + "total project

revenues" + "total TIF contribution", it being understood that the phrases total project revenue,

total costs, total project expenditures and similar phrases shall mean all revenues received,

costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project, including, without limitation, all

acquisition, development, construction, leasing, management, financing, closing, capital

transaction, operating expenses and related costs. Utilizing the equation below, a solution will

be derived for "r" = the unleveraged IRR for the Project; where "N" = the total number of years

in the life of the Project (defined as the number of years starting with the year in which

predevelopment expenditures began (i.e., 2015) through to the date of the Capital Event); "C" =

total net cash flows (total development revenues, including TIF proceeds, received less total

costs incurred) for each year; and "t" = each year in the life of the Project up to the date of the

Capital Event.

N
NPV = Ct____ = 0
t-0 (1 / r)t

37
602156.16
The IRR analysis for payment of Excess Profit will be performed one time only upon the

occurrence of the Capital Event. To illustrate the intent of the Parties, attached as Exhibit I is an

example of the calculation of Excess Profit using the above formula and the allocations below.

For the calculation of IRR, actual costs and revenues will be used to the extent determined as of

the date of the Capital Event. For values not yet determined, reasonable assumptions will be

made by the City and Developer.

Within thirty (30) days following the Capital Event, the Developer shall provide to the

City the Developer's initial calculation of the IRR and the Excess Profit, if any, and shall provide

the City and the Financial Consultant electronic access to all documents and information

supporting the Developers initial calculation which are reasonably requested by a professional

financial services firm selected by the City ("Financial Consultant") in order to review the

Developer's initial calculation of the IRR and the Excess Profit (Developers IRR Analysis),

and Developer shall continue to provide the City electronic access to all documents and

information supporting the Developers initial calculation throughout the Term. Within thirty

(30) days of receipt of the Developers IRR Analysis, the Financial Consultant shall review the

Developers IRR Analysis, and perform its own, independent calculation of the IRR and the

Excess Profit on behalf of the City and provide same to the Developer ("City IRR Analysis"). If

the Developer disagrees with the City IRR Analysis, then the Developer shall so notify the City

thereof in writing within fifteen (15) days, which notice shall include the name, address and

professional qualifications of the person designated to act as appraiser on its behalf. Within ten

(10) days thereafter, the City shall give written notice to the Developer specifying the name,

address and professional qualifications of the person designated to act as appraiser on behalf of

the City. The two (2) appraisers shall, within ten (10) days after selection of the second

38
602156.16
appraiser, select an arbitrator. All appraisers and the arbitrator appointed hereunder shall be MAI

members of the Appraisal Institute with not less than ten (10) years of experience in the financial

analysis of multi-family real estate in the greater Chicago, Illinois metropolitan area, and be

devoting substantially all of their time to professional financial analysis work at the time of

appointment, and be in all respects impartial and disinterested. The IRR calculation and

computation of the Excess Profit determined by each appraiser shall be given within a period of

thirty (30) days after the appointment of the arbitrator. Each Party shall pay the fees and

expenses of the appraiser appointed by or on behalf of such Party and the fees and expenses of

the arbitrator shall be borne equally by both parties. If the Party receiving a request for

arbitration fails to appoint its appraiser within the time above specified, or if the two (2)

appraisers so selected cannot agree on the selection of the arbitrator within the time above

specified, then either party, on behalf of both parties, may request such appointment of such

second appraiser or the arbitrator, as the case may be, by application to any Judge of the Circuit

Court of DuPage County, Illinois, upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to the other party of

such intent. If the appraisers do not agree as to the IRR calculation and computation of the

Excess Profit, then the arbitrator shall determine the IRR calculation and computation of the

Excess Profit by selecting the IRR calculation and computation of the Excess Profit proposed by

one of the two appraisers. Any determination by the arbitrator shall be made no later than thirty

(30) days following delivery of each appraisal and notice thereof shall be given to the Parties.

Such determination shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties and shall constitute

the IRR. The cost of the Financial Consultant for the IRR analysis shall be split equally between

the Developer and the City; provided, however, the Financial Consultant shall not be

compensated in whole or in part on a contingency fee basis.

39
602156.16
B. If, as of December 31, 2021, a Capital Event has not occurred, then the Parties

shall determine the fair market value of the Project in accordance with this Section 16.2(B). If

the Parties are not able to reach agreement as to the fair market value of the Project by January

31, 2022, then the fair market value of the Project shall be determined by binding arbitration in

accordance with the FMV Arbitration Methodology.

"FMV Arbitration Methodology" shall mean the methodology set forth below to

determine the fair market value of the Project in accordance with this Section 16.2(B) in the

event the Parties are not otherwise able to reach agreement as to the fair market value of the

Project within the time period prescribed in this Agreement. Following any inability of the

Parties to reach agreement with respect to the fair market value of the Project within the time

period prescribed in this Agreement, either party (the "Arbitration Requesting Party") may

notify the other party (the "Arbitration Non-Requesting Party"), in writing ("Arbitration FMV

Notice"), of the Arbitration Requesting Party's desire to have the fair market value of the Project

determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. The

Arbitration FMV Notice shall include the name, address and professional qualifications of the

person designated to act as arbitrator on its behalf. Within ten (10) days after service of the

Arbitration FMV Notice, the Arbitration Non-Requesting Party shall give written notice to the

Arbitration Requesting Party specifying the name, address and professional qualifications of the

person designated to act as arbitrator on behalf of the Arbitration Non-Requesting Party. The

two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall determine fair market value of the Project, considering,

with respect to the Project, along with other factors deemed relevant by the arbitrators, the size,

location, area and nature of the improvements in the Project, and the parking provided to the

Project, and each shall submit a copy of its appraisal determining such fair market value, along

40
602156.16
with supporting documentation to the Parties in writing, within thirty (30) days after

appointment. If the lesser of such appraisals when multiplied by 105% exceeds the higher of

such appraisals, then the fair market value of the Project shall be the average of the two

appraised values. If the lesser of such appraisals when multiplied by 105% does not exceed the

higher of such appraisals, then the two (2) arbitrators shall, within ten (10) days after delivery of

the second appraisal, select a third arbitrator. The decision of the third arbitrator shall be given

within a period of twenty (20) days after the appointment of such third arbitrator. Under said

circumstances, the fair market value of the Project shall be the average of the three appraised

values; provided, however, if the lowest or the highest of the three appraised values, or both,

varies by more than ten percent (10%) from the median appraised value, the appraised value or

values so varying shall be disregarded. The fair market value of the Project as determined by the

Arbitration Methodology is hereinafter referred to as the Appraised FMV of the Project.

All arbitrators appointed by or on behalf of either Party or appointed pursuant to the

provisions hereof, shall be certified MAI members of the Appraisal Institute with not less than

ten (10) years of experience in the appraisal of like property in DuPage County, Illinois, and be

devoting substantially all of their time to professional appraisal work at the time of appointment

and be in all respects impartial and disinterested. If the Arbitration Non-Requesting Party fails to

appoint its arbitrator within the time specified above, or if the two (2) arbitrators so selected

cannot agree on the selection of the third arbitrator within the time above specified, then either

party, on behalf of both parties, may request the appointment of such second or third arbitrator,

as the case may be, by application to any Judge of the Circuit Court of the County of DuPage,

State of Illinois, upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to the other party of such intent. Each

party shall pay the fees and expenses of the arbitrator appointed by or on behalf of such party and

41
602156.16
the fees and expenses of the third arbitrator shall be borne equally by the parties, and shall not be

considered a Project Cost.

Section 16.3. Excess Profit Sharing Analysis. If the IRR is equal to or greater than

thirteen percent (13%), the proceeds from the Capital Event, after deduction of all costs incurred

by the Developer in connection with the Capital Event will be distributed as follows:

Tranche 1 To Developer 100% to Developer until a 13% IRR is achieved by


the Project.

Tranche 2 Profit Sharing Payment to the City After a 13% IRR is achieved by
the Project and until a 14% IRR is achieved by the Project, the distribution will be 15% to
the City and 85% to the Developer.

Tranche 3 Profit Sharing Payment to the City After a 14% IRR is achieved by
the Project and until a 15% IRR is achieved by the Project, the distribution will be 25% to
the City and 75% to the Developer.

Tranche 4 Profit Sharing Payment to the City After a 15% IRR is achieved by
the Project and until a 16% IRR is achieved by the Project, the distribution will be 35% to
the City and 65% to the Developer.

Tranche 5 Profit Sharing Payment to the City After a 16% IRR is achieved by
the Project, the distribution will be 45% to the City and 55% to the Developer.

The IRR analysis for payment of Excess Profit will be performed one time only and will

be triggered upon the Capital Event. The refinancing of the construction debt for the Project will

not constitute a Capital Event.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Appraised FMV of the Project is determined in

accordance with Section 16.2(B), then, within thirty (30) days after the Appraised FMV of the

Project is so determined, the Developer shall deliver written notice (FMV Determination

Notice) to the City and the Financial Consultant of the determination of the Appraised FMV of

the Project and the Developers reasonable good faith estimate of (a) actual closing costs which

would have been incurred had an arms-length sale of the Project had been consummated at a

42
602156.16
purchase price equal to the Appraised FMV of the Project, and (b) the total costs of the Project

incurred by the Developer. The Financial Consultant, in cooperation with the City and the

Developer, shall determine the IRR and Excess Profit, calculated pursuant to Section 16.2(A), as

though Profit were equal to the amount, if any, by which the Appraised FMV of the Project

exceeds the sum of (a) a reasonable good faith estimate of actual closing costs which would have

been incurred had an arms-length sale of the Project been consummated at a purchase price equal

to the Appraised FMV of the Project, and (b) the total costs of the Project incurred by the

Developer, and provide a copy of its determination to the Developer and the City within ninety

(90) days after receipt of the FMV Determination Notice.

Section 16.4. Excess Profit Payment. The Excess Profit (i.e., the amount of any recovery

by the City of any Profit under the provisions of Section 16.3 above) shall be paid to the City

within ten (10) days after such amount is determined in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 16.5. Recapture Payment Excess Profit Cap. Anything herein to the contrary

notwithstanding, the total amount of Recapture Payment and Excess Profit, if any, pursuant to

this Section 16 paid to the City will not exceed One Million Five Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars

($1,510,000).

17. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

Section 17.1. Severability. If any covenant, condition, provision, term or agreement of

602156.16
connection with the Project, shall be declared invalid or unconstitutional, in whole or in part, by

the entry of a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, and, in either

case, such order or decision materially and adversely affects the Redevelopment Plan or this

Agreement or rights and privileges of the Developer or the City hereunder, then, and in any such

consent of the City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed

and shall be deemed given if the City fails to grant or deny such consent within twenty-five (25)

business days following request; provided, however, the City hereby consents to any conveyance

mortgage, deed of trust or similar financing instrument in consequence of any foreclosure or

deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar transaction, and to any subsequent transferee thereof. The

covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the covenant or

agreement of the corporate authorities, City Manager, any elected official, officer, partner,

its successors under this Agreement shall not be binding upon, nor inure to the benefit of, any

mortgagee, ground lessor, sale-leaseback lessor and/or trust deed holders (collectively,

Mortgagee) that acquire title to all or any portion of the Redevelopment Property by trustees

sale, foreclosure, or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, provided, however, in the event that

any Mortgagee succeeds to the Developers or assignees interest in the Redevelopment

Property, or any portion thereof, pursuant to a collateral assignment and, in conjunction with

such succession, accepts an assignment of the Developers interest in this Agreement, the City

shall recognize such party as the successor in interest to the Developer with respect to the

Redevelopment Property or the portion acquired by such Mortgagee, on the condition that if the

Mortgagee accepts an assignment of the Developers interest under this Agreement, then it

automatically accepts not only the Developers rights hereunder but also all of the Developers

50
602156.16
obligations hereunder. However, if such Mortgagee does not expressly accept an assignment of

the Developers interest hereunder, such Mortgagee shall be entitled to no rights and benefits

under this Agreement. The foregoing (Mortgagees lack of expressly accepting an assignment)

shall apply whether the succession is by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or any other

remedy. Under all such circumstances, the Redevelopment Property may only be developed in

accordance with this Agreement and any such Mortgagee shall not be entitled to proceed with

development of the Redevelopment Property or portion thereof unless and until such Mortgagee

has consented in writing to be bound by all the terms, covenants and conditions of this

Agreement. The City agrees to give any mortgagees, ground lessors, sale-leaseback lessors

and/or trust deed holders, by registered or certified mail, a copy of any notice of default served

upon the Developer, provided that prior to such notice the City has been notified, in writing (by

way of notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases or otherwise) of the address of such

mortgagees, ground lessors, sale-leaseback lessors, and/or trust deed holders. The City further

agrees that, except in instances where there is an imminent likelihood that public health or safety

would be materially and adversely affected by such default, if the Developer shall fail to cure

such default within the time provided in this Agreement, then the Mortgagee shall have an

additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured

within such 30-day time period, then such additional time as may be necessary if within such 30-

day period, the Mortgagee has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to

cure such default (including, without limitation, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if

necessary to effect such cure) in which event this Agreement shall not be terminated nor shall the

City exercise any rights or remedies hereunder while such remedies are being so diligently

51
602156.16
pursued. The Developer may collaterally assign its interest in this Agreement in connection with

any financing transaction.

Section 17.20. Termination. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the

contrary, and subject to rights and remedies of the parties under Section 12.3 above, in the event

this Agreement is terminated for failure by the Developer to acquire the Redevelopment Property

on or before December 31, 2017, as provided in Section 17.22, each Party shall be solely

responsible, and each Party hereby waives any claims against the other, for any and all costs and

expenses incurred as a result of negotiating and entering into this Agreement and the

undertakings associated therewith, including but not limited to the zoning entitlements resulting

in the Final Plans.

Section 17.21. Tender of Defense. With respect to any claim which is subject to

indemnification and defense by the Developer under this Agreement, the indemnified party or

parties agree to tender defense of any such indemnified claim to the Developer in sufficient time

to avoid prejudice to the Developer for handling by counsel selected by the Developer and

reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party or parties and, in no event, shall the Developer be

liable for any special, incidental, punitive, consequential or similar type damages.

Section 17.22. Acquisition Contingency. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary

notwithstanding, if the Developer has not acquired the Redevelopment Property on or before

December 31, 2017, then the Developer shall notify the City and, at any time thereafter and prior

to the date the Developer acquires the Redevelopment Property, either the Developer or the City

may terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall be null and void and of no

further force and effect and neither the Developer nor the City shall have any liability under this

Agreement. Wherever in this Agreement any duty, obligation, requirement or other act or

52
602156.16
responsibility is imposed upon the Developer, any such duty, obligation, requirement or other act

or responsibility shall be binding upon the Developer if and only if (i) the Developer acquires the

Redevelopment Property, and (ii) the Developer elects to proceed with the construction and

development of the Project.

Section 17.23. Third Party Rights. Opus Development Company, L.L.C., a Delaware

limited liability company ("Opus"), is an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement and

shall have the independent right to enforce this Agreement directly against the City, including,

without limitation, an action for specific performance, without the joinder or consent of any other

entity, person or party, and the City shall have the independent right to enforce this Agreement

directly against Opus, including, without limitation, an action for specific performance, without

TO: Mayor Morley and Members of the City Council


RE: 100 N Addison LLC Redevelopment Agreement (OPUS)

The Development, Planning and Zoning Committee has met on several occasions, most
recently on February 27, 2017, to discuss the Redevelopment Agreement (RDA)
between the City of Elmhurst and 100 N. Addison LLC (OPUS) for the development of
the parcels located 100 N Addison Ave.

The project includes up to 165 unit luxury apartment complex, at least 7600 sq. ft. (and
up to 11,000 sq. ft.) of retail space, and improvement to the City owned property at
Larch and First into a public gathering space. The conditional use and associated zoning
variances for this project were approved by the City Council on May 16, 2016.

The Opus design emphasizes the elements and characteristics of Transit-Oriented


Development, which is a sound planning model in creating vibrant, livable communities.
It is the creation of compact, walkable communities centered around high quality train
systems that makes it possible to live a higher quality life without complete dependence
on a car for mobility and survival. As the City of Elmhurst continues to work on
increasing the vitality and vibrancy of the Central Business District (CBD), the Opus
project will enhance those efforts by adding population to the CBD. This development
includes walkability to the Metra Station, and easy access to shopping, dining, and
entertainment. The introduction of a public gathering space will add a pedestrian and
bicycle friendly gathering place to the CBD.

The RDA identifies and documents City of Elmhurst involvement in and business terms
of this redevelopment project. The City incentives for this project include assistance in
environmental remediation, building demolition, site preparation, construction of the
public gathering space, and streetscaping. The City is also responsible for underground
relocation of all applicable utilities. Lastly, the RDA addresses the opportunity for the
City to recapture incentive dollars based on final construction costs and profit upon a
project capital event, such as a sale or refinance. Any construction cost savings (based
on total construction cost and projected budget) will be shared 50/50 between the City
and Developer, and upon a capital event (sale or refinance of the project) the City will
receive a proportionate share of any internal rate of return over 13%.

After review, the Committee feels the Redevelopment Agreement appropriately


addresses the business terms of the partnership between the City of Elmhurst and 100
Page 2

Addison LLC (OPUS) to construct a luxury apartment complex with enhanced public
amenities.

Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Development, Planning and Zoning


Committee that the City Council authorize the City Attorney to prepare the proper
documents for the approval of the Redevelopment Agreement with 100 Addison LLC for
the construction of up to 165 unit luxury apartment complex, which includes up to
11,000 sq. ft. of retail space and a public gathering space.

Respectfully submitted,
