THIS REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), is made and entered into as
of the tday of March, 2024 ("Effective Date"), by and between the Village of Elk Grove
Village, an Illinois home rule municipal corporation located in Cook and DuPage Counties, Illinois
("Village"), and AGG Properties, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company ("Developer").
Developer together with the Village, are collectively referred to as the "Parties," and sometimes,
individually, a "Party."
RECITALS
A. Pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-
1, et seq. (the "Act"), the Village adopted the Higgins Corridor Tax Increment Financing
Redevelopment Plan and Project ("Redevelopment Plan"), dated July, 2017, and created the
Higgins Corridor Redevelopment Project Area ("TIF District") in accordance with the Act to
stabilize and expand the Village's tax base.
B. The Village owns the property commonly known as 500-570 E. Higgins Road,
which is legally described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Property"). The Property is located
in the TIF District. Developer has represented to the Village that it desires to construct and lease
two (2) new speculative industrial facilities on the Property.
C. Developer and the Village have agreed to enter into a Purchase and Sale Agreement
(the "PSA"), pursuant to which the Village will sell to Developer, and Developer will purchase
Page 1 of 41
March 22, 2024
from Village, the Property. The Village and Developer desire to enter into this Agreement for the
purpose of redeveloping the Property and revitalizing properties within the TIF District. The new
development consists of constructing two (2) new industrial buildings totaling approximately
37,000 square feet, related infrastructure and appurtenances, and the Utility Work (as defined in
Section 3.01), all as generally depicted on the Development Plans (as defined in Section 3.03)
(collectively, the "Project") all on and around the Property.
D. Developer has represented to the Village that the cost to construct the Project is
prohibitive so the Village has agreed to provide certain assistance to help defray a portion of those
costs as specifically set forth herein (the "Assistance").
E. Developer has represented that but for the Assistance as set forth herein, the Project
will not be financially feasible.
F. The Village is authorized to reimburse Developer for certain redevelopment project
costs, as that term is defined in the Act, as set out in Exhibit B attached hereto (collectively,
"Eligible Costs").
G. The Village desires to see the Developer construct the Project on the Property to
attract additional private investment, new businesses and additional employees in the TIF District,
and to ensure the ongoing stability of the Village's tax base for it and overlapping taxing districts,
all of which will be in the best interests of the Village by furthering the health, safety, and welfare
of its residents and taxpayers.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties do hereby agree as follows:

6.05 Delay.
For the purposes of any of the provisions of this Agreement, neither the Village nor Developer,
nor any successor in interest shall be considered in breach or of its obligations under this
Agreement or to have committed an Event of Default in the event any failure to perform is caused

Party from discharging its respective obligations hereunder and the timeframes for performance of
those obligations shall be extended accordingly ("Unavoidable Delay"). "Unavoidable Delay"
shall include, without limitation, infectious disease pandemics, changes in applicable law,

Page 12 of 41
March 22, 2024
shall not be a permitted reason for delay. Whenever any performance that is required hereunder
shall be delayed at any time pursuant to this Paragraph, then the Party excused from performance
shall be excused from performance: 1) only after delivery of notice to the other Party, which notice
shall identify the nature of the event causing the delay and the anticipated duration of the delay; 2)
only during the duration of the event causing the delay; and 3) only so long as the Party whose
performance is impaired continues to take reasonable steps to mitigate the effect of the delay -
causing event and to substantially perform despite the occurrence of the delay -causing event.

2. Seller. THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE, an Illinois Home Rule Municipal
Corporation, having its principal office located at 901 Wellington Avenue, Elk Grove Village,
Illinois, 60007, (the "Seller"), agrees to sell the Property at the price and terms set forth herein,

Page 26 of 41
March 22, 2024
Paragraph 8 of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser may be referred to collectively herein as the
"Parties" or individually as a "Party."
3. Strict Joint Order Escrow. For each Transaction, Purchaser will deposit Twenty Five
Thousand and No/100 ($25,000.00) Dollars with Chicago Title Insurance Company ("Escrowee")
as "Earnest Money" within two (2) business days after the Parties' full execution of this
Agreement, to be applied toward the Purchase Price. Said Earnest Money shall be deposited in a
Strict Joint Order Escrow with Chicago Title Insurance Company for the mutual benefit of the
Parties and subject to terms the Parties mutually agree to. Any cost of the Strict Joint Order Escrow
shall be divided equally between the Parties.
4. Closing and Due Diligence Period. Closing for both Transactions shall be on March 27,
2024, ("Closing Date"), subsequent to the satisfactory completion of the Due Diligence Period
(defined below), or at such other date as mutually agreed to by the Purchaser and the Seller's
Village Manager in writing, at the Rolling Meadows Office of Chicago Title Insurance Company,
provided title is shown to be good, and provided the contingencies set forth in this Agreement have
been satisfied or resolved as herein set forth. Purchaser shall have until March 25, 2024 ("Due
Diligence Period") to determine the suitability of the Property and complete all tests, studies,
inspections and investigations of the Property. Purchaser shall have the sole right at any time
before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to cancel either or both Transactions and receive
a full refund of all of its Earnest Money deposited with the Escrowee for any terminated
Transaction. Such notice of cancelation must be in writing and delivered pursuant to the notice
provisions of this Agreement. If the Purchaser has not canceled this Agreement by March 25,
2024, or the Due Diligence Period has not been mutually extended by the Parties, then the Earnest
Money shall become non-refundable.
5. Condition of Property.
A. Except as provided in Section 5(B) below, Purchaser agrees to purchase the
Property in its present "as -is condition" and acknowledges that Seller has not made any
representations or warranties as to the Property, subject to the Purchaser's inspection of the
Property. Seller shall not be required to pay or contribute toward any expense for cost of repair to
the Property unless otherwise agreed as a part of the Purchaser's Due Diligence Period
contingency. Seller shall deliver exclusive and complete possession of the entire Property to the
Purchaser at Closing, except as otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties in writing subsequent
to the Parties' full execution of this Agreement.
B. The Seller agrees to demolish the existing building located at 570 E. Higgins Road
and to rough grade the areas impacted by the demolition (collectively "Demolition Work").
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller shall have full and unrestricted access to the
Property and the surrounding area to complete the Demolition Work before and, as necessary, after
the Closing Date, and to the extent Demolition Work continues after the Closing Date, Purchaser
hereby grants Seller a temporary construction and access easement on, over, across, under and
through the Property to undertake the Demolition Work and all activities reasonably incidental
thereto. Purchaser hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases the Seller, its elected and
appointed officials, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from any all causes of action,
Page 27 of 41
March 22, 2024
demands, claims, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued, arising out of or relating in any
manner whatsoever to the Demolition Work. Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold Purchaser
harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, liability, costs, expenses and damages of
every kind and nature, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from Seller's Demolition
Work. The Demolition Work shall be commenced on or before May 1, 2024, and shall be
completed by July 1, 2024. This Section shall survive Closing.
6. Survey. Seller agrees to furnish Purchaser with any existing ALTA survey or otherwise
for each Property within five (5) days of the Parties full execution of this Agreement. Purchaser
shall, at its sole cost, be responsible for additional survey required by the Purchaser, Title
Company, or any lender.
7. Title Commitment. For each Transaction, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
Purchaser or Purchaser's attorney a title commitment for an owner's extended title insurance
policy issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company in the amount of the Purchase Price, covering
title to the Property, showing title in the Seller subject only to (a) the general exceptions contained
in the policy; (b) the title exceptions set forth above in Section 2; and (c) title exceptions pertaining
to liens or encumbrances of a definite or ascertainable amount which may be removed by the
payment of money at the time of Closing and which the Seller may so remove at that time by using
the funds to be paid upon the delivery of the deed (all of which are herein referred to as the
permitted exceptions). The title commitment shall be conclusive evidence of good title as therein
shown as to all matters insured by the policy, subject only to the exceptions as therein stated. Seller
also shall furnish Purchaser an affidavit of title in customary form covering the date of Closing
and showing title in Seller subject only to the permitted exceptions in foregoing items (b) and (c)
and unpermitted exceptions or defects in the title disclosed by the ALTA survey, if any, as to which
the title insurer commits to extend insurance.
8. Title and Survey Exceptions. If the title commitment or survey disclose either matters not
acceptable to Purchaser, unpermitted exceptions or survey matters (herein referred to as
"exceptions"), Purchaser shall have five (5) days from the date of delivery thereof to deliver a
written objection notice to Seller demanding that the exceptions be removed from the commitment
or any survey defects be corrected, or to have the title insurer commit to insure against loss or
damage that may be occasioned by such exceptions, on or before the Closing Date. If Seller fails
to have the exceptions removed or correct any survey defects, or in the alternative, to obtain the
commitment for title insurance specified above as to such exceptions or survey defects within the
specified time, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement or may elect, upon notice to Seller , to
take title as it then is and may propose a deduction from the Purchase Price, liens or encumbrances
of a definite or ascertainable amount. If Seller does not agree to said deduction, Purchaser may
elect to terminate this Agreement, without further actions of the Parties in which event the Earnest
Money shall be refunded to Purchaser.
9. Prorations. For each Transaction, rents, utility charges, premiums under assignable
insurance policies, general real estate taxes, and other similar items, ("Costs"), shall be prorated at
Closing as of the Closing Date. Real Estate tax credits for unpaid 2023 and subsequent year real
estate taxes, at Closing, shall be prorated at 105% of the last ascertainable full year's real estate
tax bill, regardless of any change in real estate tax assessment. Seller shall be responsible for said
Page 28 of 41
March 22, 2024
Costs through the date of Closing, and Seller shall cooperate and furnish any documentation
necessary to comply with all state, county and local laws therewith. All prorations are final unless
otherwise provided herein.
10. Risk of Loss. The provisions of the Uniform Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act of the State
of Illinois shall be applicable to this Agreement. Seller shall be required to provide fire insurance
coverage for any structures located on the Property pending Closing as set forth herein, and the
risk of loss due to fire, other casualty, or condemnation remains with Seller. If, prior to Closing,
any such loss occurs, excluding the Demolition Work, or any condemnation action is filed, then
Purchaser may terminate this Agreement, in which case neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have
any further liability hereunder, unless Seller's acts or omissions related to such loss or action
violate its obligations under this Agreement, including the representations and warranties or the
covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, in which case Purchaser may pursue any
such remedy at law or equity.
11. Closing Escrow. The Transactions shall be closed through an escrow with Chicago Title
Insurance Company, Rolling Meadows office, in accordance with the general provisions of the
usual form of Deed and Money Escrow Agreement then in use by Chicago Title Insurance
Company, with such special provisions inserted in the escrow agreement as may be required to
conform with this Agreement. Upon the creation of such an escrow, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, payment of Purchase Price and delivery of deed shall be made through the escrow
and this Agreement and the Earnest Money shall be deposited in the escrow. Only the cost of the
New York Style Escrow shall be divided equally between Seller and Purchaser. All other escrow
charges are to be paid by Seller. The Parties shall equally divide the cost of the extended coverage
endorsement. All other endorsements, escrow charges, Owner Title Policy Charge, and invoiced
title charges shall be paid by the Seller, with the exception of the cost of recording the Special
Warranty Deed which shall be paid by the Purchaser.
12. FIRPTA. Seller represents that it is not a "foreign person" as defined in Section 1445 of
the Internal Revenue Code and is therefore exempt from the withholding requirements of said
Section. Seller will furnish Purchaser at Closing the Exemption Certification set forth in said
Section.
13. Inspections and Testing. In addition to the Due Diligence Period contingency, Purchaser
shall have reasonable access to the Property, for purposes of soil testing, surveying, engineering,
examination and planning, from and after the execution of this Agreement in order to conduct a
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment ("Phase I") which shall be paid for by the Purchaser.
Purchaser shall promptly share a copy of the Phase I for each Property with the Seller upon the
Purchaser's receipt of the Phase 1. Such Phase I shall be conducted and concluded by March 25,
2024. If the Phase I reveals environmental concerns that necessitate a Phase II assessment,
Purchaser shall share such concerns with Seller. With the expressed consent of the Seller, the
Purchaser may order and pay for said Phase 11, or the Purchaser may then give notice of cancelation
terminating this Agreement for either or both Transactions and, in such event, the Earnest Money
previously deposited into the Strict Joint Order Escrow shall be refunded for any terminated
Transaction. If Purchaser proceeds with the Phase II assessment, Purchaser shall have thirty (30)
days to complete said Phase 11 assessment and Purchaser shall provide a copy the Phase II
Page 29 of 41
March 22, 2024
assessment to the Seller by that date. If the Phase II indicates no environmental concerns, this
contingency shall be satisfied and the Closing Date shall be scheduled by mutual agreement of the
Parties within ten (10) days. If the Phase II raises additional concerns either Party may terminate
this Agreement and, in such event, the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser. With respect
to any and all assessments/inspections, Purchaser shall save and hold harmless Seller from any
costs or liabilities resulting from such access, and Purchaser shall restore the Property to its original
condition after each such inspection. If Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that, as a result
of any environmental inspection of the Property, the Property is not satisfactory for the uses
contemplated by Purchaser, Purchaser may notify Seller, in writing, and terminate the Agreement.
Purchaser acknowledges that time is of the essence and will diligently pursue the completion of
the inspection process and will notify Seller in a timely manner if it elects to terminate this
Agreement.

of this Agreement, and such default is not cured within ten (10) days from the date for Purchaser's

entitled to retain the Earnest Money and any interest earned thereon; it being agreed between
Purchase and Seller that the amount of the Earnest Money shall be liquidated damages for a default

property values, and differences of opinion with respect to damages for breach of a real estate
transaction
B. Seller's Default. If Seller fails to perform in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and such default is not cured within ten (10) days from the date of Purchaser's written
notice to Seller of such default, Purchaser may, at its option: (a) receive a refund of the Earnest

C. In the event either Purchaser or Seller defaults in the performance of any obligation
imposed upon it under the provisions of this Agreement, the defaulting party shall pay all
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of the non -defaulting party incurred in any litigation under
this Agreement, or in any litigation in which the non -defaulting party shall, without its fault,
become involved through or on account of this Agreement.
19. Confirmation of Representations. The Seller shall reconfirm all representations and
warranties set forth in this Agreement as true, accurate, and complete on and as of the Closing
Date.
20. Survival of Representations. Seller's representations and warranties shall survive the
Closing for a period of six (6) months. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its
successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liens, costs, expenses

of whatsoever kind or nature which, directly or indirectly, are caused by, result from, arise out of,
or occur in any manner in connection with any material inaccuracy in the representations or
warranties contained herein. The preceding indemnity and hold harmless shall not apply to matters
attributable to acts or omissions of the Purchaser through third parties.

consistent with this Agreement that are reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions

transaction and that this Agreement may be executed in counterparts and shall be governed by and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois. Jurisdiction for any dispute arising
from or related to this Agreement shall be the Cook County Circuit Court, Cook County, Illinois.
23. Fees. Except as otherwise provided in the event of a default, each Party hereto shall
respectively pay the fees and charges of their attorneys and consultants.
24. Seller Contingency. The Parties acknowledge that the obligations of this Agreement shall
not be binding on the Seller until the Village Board votes to approve this Agreement. Seller is
authorized to enter into this Agreement pursuant to its home rule authority and other applicable
law.

Transactions, Purchaser will be consummating a tax -deferred like kind exchange of property under
