available for review by the Seller and its agents the books and records relating to (i) the
Development's costs to enable the Seller to verify those costs, including, but not limited to, the
Purchaser's, general contractor's and contractor's sworn statements, general contracts,
subcontracts, purchase orders, waivers of lien, paid receipts, invoices, (ii) information concerning

March 13, 2025
the Development necessary for the Seller to satisfy TIF District reporting requirements, and (iii)
and all other information reasonably requested by the Seller. These records shall be available for
inspection, audit and examination. The Seller agrees to keep all financial information obtained
pursuant to this Section confidential, except to the extent required for compliance with any
applicable law, rule or regulation.
25. Liability, Indemnity of Seller, and Insurance.
(a) Seller Review. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller is not, and
shall not be, in any way liable for any damages or injuries to Purchaser that may be sustained as
the result of the Seller's review and approval of any plans for the Property, or the issuance of any
approvals, permits, certificates, or acceptances for the Development or use of the Property, and
that the Seller's review and approval of those plans and issuance of those approvals, permits,
certificates, or acceptances does not, and shall not, in any way, be deemed to insure Purchaser, or
any of its heirs, successors, assigns, tenants, and licensees, or any other person, against damage or
injury of any kind at any time.
(b) Seller Procedure. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that notices, meetings,
and hearings have been properly given and held by the Seller with respect to the approval of this
Agreement and agrees not to challenge the Seller's approval of this Agreement on the grounds of
any procedural infirmity or of any denial of any procedural right.
(c) Indemnity. Purchaser agrees to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify the Seller
and the Seller's elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents, representatives,
engineers, and attorneys, from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, and costs that
may be asserted at any time against any of them, or awarded against them, in connection with
(i) the Seller's review and approval of any plans for the Property; (ii) the Incentive;
(iii) Purchaser's construction of the Development; or (iv) this Agreement.
(d) Defense Expense. Seller shall provide Purchaser written notice of any claim
for which the Seller may seek indemnification or to be held harmless within thirty (30) days of
obtaining notice of a claim. Failure of the Seller to tender timely notice or defense of a claim in
accordance with this Section shall waive any obligation of Purchaser to indemnify, defend, and
hold harmless the Seller. Purchaser shall have the right to hire counsel of its choosing, with
consent of the Seller, and to control defense of any claim or to settle any claim provided that the
Seller shall have the right to participate in the defense and settlement of the claim. In the event
that the Seller retains defense of any claim Purchaser shall, and does hereby agree to, pay all
expenses, including without limitation all reasonable legal fees, incurred by the Seller in defending
itself with regard to any and all of the claims referenced in Section 25(C) of this Agreement,
provided that Purchaser shall have the right to participate in said defense and approval of any
settlement of a claim.
(e) Insurance.
1. Liability Insurance Prior to Completion. Prior to issuance of a
building permit for the Development, Purchaser shall procure and deliver evidence of such policies
12
March 13, 2025
to the Seller, at Purchaser's cost and expense, and shall maintain in full force and effect through
completion of construction of the Development, a policy or policies naming the Village of Elk
Grove Village, together with its officers, agents, employees, contractors, attorneys, and engineers
as Additional Insureds. All such policies shall be in such form and issued by such companies as
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Seller, and any insurance carried by the Seller for like risks
shall be secondary and in excess of the insurance required hereby. All policies shall be written on
a "per occurrence" basis. Purchaser shall procure and maintain insurance for protection from
claims under worker's compensation acts, claims for damages because of bodily injury including
personal injury, sickness or disease or death of any and all employees or of any person other than
such employees, and from claims or damages because of injury to or destruction of property
including loss of use resulting therefrom, alleged to arise from Purchaser's negligence in the
performance of services under this Agreement. Purchaser's certificate of insurance shall contain
a provision that the coverage afforded under the policy(s) will not be canceled or reduced without
thirty (30) days prior written notice (hand delivered or registered mail) to the Seller. Purchaser
shall promptly forward new certificate(s) of insurance evidencing the coverage(s) required herein
upon annual renewal of the subject policies. Failure of Purchaser to supply a valid certificate of
insurance, or if a previously valid certificate of insurance has expired and is not replaced, is
grounds for issuance of a stop work order, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in
equity, until such time as a valid certificate of insurance is provided. Failure of the Seller to collect
or demand a certificate of insurance shall not be deemed a waiver of the requirement to provide
one. The limits of liability for the insurance required by this Subsection shall not be less than the
following:
Workmen's Compensation Insurance:
All Liability imposed by Workmen's Compensation statute
Employer's Liability Insurance $1,000,000
Contractual Liability Insurance $1,000,000
Completed Operations Insurance $ 500,000
Owned, Hired, and Non -Ownership Vehicle, Bodily Injury and Property Damage to the
following Limits:
Commercial General Liability
Bodily Injury
Property Damage
Automobile Liability
Umbrella Liability
$2,000,000 (each occurrence)
$2,000,000 (each person) $2,000,000 (each accident)
$2,000,000 (each accident)
$1,000,000 combined single limit (each accident)
$4,000,000 (each occurrence)
$4,000,000 (aggregate)
2. Purchaser's Risk Prior to Completion. Prior to the issuance of a
Certificate for the Development, Purchaser shall keep in force at all times builders risk insurance
on a completed value basis, in non -reporting form, against all risks of physical loss, including
collapse, covering the total value of work performed and equipment, supplies and materials
furnished for the Development (including on -site stored materials), all as to work by Purchaser.
Such insurance policies shall be issued by companies satisfactory to the Seller. Such policies shall
13
March 13, 2025
contain a provision that the same will not be canceled or materially amended without prior written
notice to the Seller.
26. Remedies After Closing. For claims arising after Closing, each Party may, in law
or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus, or any other proceeding, including without limitation
specific performance, enforce or compel the performance of this Agreement. Purchaser agrees
that it will not seek, and does not have the right to seek, to recover a judgment for monetary
damages against the Seller, or any of its elected or appointed officials, officers, employees, agents,
representatives, engineers, or attorneys, on account of the negotiation, execution, or breach of this
Agreement. In addition to every other remedy permitted at law or in equity for the enforcement
of the terms of this Agreement, the Seller will be entitled to revoke or withhold the issuance of
building permits, the Certificate, and licenses for any and building, structure, improvement, or use
within the Property and receive a full and immediate refund of the Incentive at any time Purchaser
has failed or refused to meet fully any of its obligations under this Agreement.
27. Survival. Excluding Section 24(b) regarding TIF District reporting, the provisions
set forth in Agreement Part II shall survive Closing and remain in full force and effect until the
one (1) year anniversary of the Seller's issuance of a Certificate for the Development. Section
24(b) regarding TIF District reporting shall remain in force and effect until the TIF District's
termination.
