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

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.
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
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
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

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

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
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

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
"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
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

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

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

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
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
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
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.
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
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

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