SECTION 2. GRANT OF RIGHTS

Section 2.1 Grant of Rights. The City hereby grants to Northwind, Inc, as Grantee, the non-exclusive right to construct, install, repair, operate, and maintain a District Cooling System consisting of one or more Approved Plants and associated Distribution Facilities in Chicago on the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that no work on a Plant may commence until it is an Approved Plant and all applicable procedures and permits required under this Agreement and the Code have been met; and provided further that no Additional Distribution Facilities may be constructed or installed in the Public Ways until this Agreement has been amended pursuant to City Council authorization to incorporate such Additional Distribution Facilities as set forth in Section 7.1.2. This Agreement does not contemplate use by Grantee of the Freight Tunnels. Should Grantee wish to use any part of the Freight Tunnels for its District Cooking System, the provisions of Section IX shall govern. This Agreement does not permit the lease of Grantee’s System or any part thereof except as permitted in this Agreement.

Section 2.2 Term and Initial Expiration Date. Subject to the survival of certain rights of the City to be indemnified and to have Grantee’s District Cooling System removed and the Public Ways restored as set forth in this Agreement, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate, unless extended or renewed as provided herein, on December 31, 2015 (the “Initial Expiration Date”).

Section 2.3 Right of Renegotiation of Certain Provisions.

2.3.1 Adjustments to Compensation. The City reserves the right to modify or to renegotiate the amount, nature and terms of General Compensation to be paid by Grantee for use of the Public Ways during the term of this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 2.3.2, any

adjustment to General Compensation (“Adjusted Compensation”) shall become effective on the next succeeding Adjustment Date. In order to renegotiate General Compensation, the City shall give written notice to Grantee at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Adjustment Date for which the Adjusted Compensation will become effective. Said notice shall contain the City’s proposed schedule of Adjusted Compensation. Grantee shall be given a reasonable opportunity to discuss an increase in General Compensation with the Director of the Department of Revenue. The terms of any such Adjusted Compensation shall be reflected in an amendment to this Agreement and shall be fair and reasonable. No such Adjusted Compensation may reduce the rate of General Compensation to be paid by Grantee without the approval of the City Council. No such Adjusted Compensation shall increase the compensation to be paid by Grantee to more than four percent of its Total Gross Billings. No later than sixty (60) days prior to each Adjustment Date, the Director of the Department of Revenue shall notify the Chairman of the Committee of the City Council having jurisdiction over the use of and compensation for the Public Ways regarding the status of any renegotiation and the proposed schedule of Adjusted Compensation.

2.3.2 Dispute Resolution. Except as set forth in Section 2.3.1, Grantee shall not challenge any increase in Adjusted Compensation up to and including three percent (3%) of Grantee’s Total Gross Billings. If the amount of proposed Adjusted Compensation exceeds three percent (3%) of Grantee’s Total Gross Billings, and if Grantee shall in faith maintain that the amount of any Adjusted Compensation in excess of such three percent (3%) proposed by the City pursuant to Section 2.3.1 is excessive or unreasonable, given the value of the privileges granted to Grantee pursuant to this Agreement, Grantee shall enter into negotiations with the City as expeditiously as possible to reach an agreement as to Adjusted Compensation prior to the

applicable Adjustment Date. In the event that an agreement as to proposed Adjusted Compensation over 3% of Total Gross Billings is not reached within 90 days, Grantee shall have the right to make a demand for arbitration in writing to the City within thirty (30) days after such Adjustment Date. If no such demand is timely made, the proposed Adjusted Compensation shall become effective, retroactively from the proposed Adjustment Date. In the event of a timely demand for arbitration, the City and Grantee shall each appoint an arbitrator and a third arbitrator shall be appointed by the arbitrators so appointed. Each arbitrator shall have at least five years of experience in the field of rights-of-way or land valuation Pursuant to the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association, or any successor organization, an arbitration shall be held as expeditiously as possible.

Unless the majority of the arbitrators shall conclude that such Adjusted Compensation is excessive or unreasonable, Grantee shall be bound to pay the Adjusted Compensation, retroactive to the applicable Adjustment Date. If a majority of the arbitrators shall decide such Adjusted Compensation is excessive or unreasonable, then the City shall withdraw the proposed schedule of Adjusted Compensation and Grantee shall pay the greater of 3% of Total Gross Billings or the rate of General Compensation previously in effect; provided that the City may substitute a new rate of Adjusted Compensation, retroactively effective to the applicable Adjustment Date. The notice periods and dispute resolution procedures of this Section 2.3.2 shall be applied to the extent possible to any substituted Adjusted Compensation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3.2, however, Grantee shall be bound by any arbitration decision rendered by a similar panel of arbitrators regarding the same proposed Adjusted Compensation as would be applicable to Grantee for similar privileges; provided that Grantee shall have been given due notice and a full and fair opportunity to

participate in such arbitration proceedings and to give evidence therein. Failure by Grantee to object to the City’s proposed Adjusted Compensation within the time provided in this Section 2.3 shall act as a waiver and Grantee shall be obligated to pay or provide, as the case may be, the Adjusted Compensation from the applicable Adjustment Date.

Section 2.4 Interim Extension in the Absence of Default or Termination. If, on the Initial Expiration Date, Grantee shall not be in default under this Agreement and if neither party has notified the other of its intent to terminate this Agreement on or before the Expiration Date, then the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed extended on an interim basis until terminated, renewed or renegotiated. Said interim extension period shall not extend beyond a date sixty (60) days after the Initial Expiration Date, after which date this Agreement shall be considered terminated and all rights of the Grantee to use the Public Ways to provide the Services shall cease; provided however that the City may extend this Agreement at its sole option for two consecutive one-year periods.

Section 2.5 Renewal. At any time during the last Compensation Year occurring prior to the Initial Expiration Date, Grantee may request the City to enter into negotiations toward renewing or extending this Agreement. The exercise by Grantee of this option shall not bind the City as to acceptance of any particular terms or renewal of the rights granted by this Agreement, if the City determines such terms or the renewal of this Agreement is not in the best interests of the City. Any proposed renewal, extension or modification of this Agreement is subject to City Council approval, modification, or rejection in its sole discretion.

Section 2.6 Acts or Omissions of Affiliates and Other Entities. During the term of this Agreement, Grantee shall be liable to the City for the acts or omissions of any entity used by

Grantee (including an Affiliate) when such entity is involved directly or indirectly in the construction, installation, maintenance, or operations of Grantee’s District Cooling System or the provision of Services as if the acts or omissions of such entity were the acts or omissions of Grantee.

SECTION 3. NATURE OF LIMITATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED

Section 3.1 Rights Not Exclusive. This is a nonexclusive grant to use the Public Ways and is made expressly subject to and subordinate to the right of the City to use the Public Ways for any public purpose.

Section 3.2 Other Permittees. This grant is nonexclusive and the City does not agree to restrict the number of franchises, licenses, use agreements or permits of any kind in all or any part of the City, including, but not limited to, such arrangements made regarding other District Energy Systems or providers of Services. The grant and authority herein granted are not intended to limit or modify any franchise, license or permit previously granted by the City to any other occupant of the Public Ways. Therefore, the Grantee, recognizing the rights of other franchisees, licensees and permittees in the Public Ways, shall exercise the grant and authority herein granted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the rights of other prior or future franchisees, licensees and permittees in the Public Ways and to act so as not to endanger or to impair the facilities of any other such franchisee, licensee, or permittee. Prior and future franchisees, licensees, or permittees shall also, in like manner, be required to respect the rights and not interfere with the rights of the Grantee herein.

Section 3.3 City’s Rights Over Public Way.

3.3.1 City’s Authority is Paramount. Grantee acknowledges and accepts at its own risk that the City may make use in the future of the Public Ways in which Grantee’s District Cooling System or any portion thereof is located in a manner inconsistent with Grantee’s use of thereof.

3.3.2 Removal and Relocation. The City reserves the right to exercise its police and/or proprietary powers, to modify, vacate, or transfer what is now the Public Way for a public purpose. At Grantee’s own risk, the City has a predominant right to use the Public Ways in the placement, maintenance, and repair of sewers, water mains, telecommunications and other utility facilities or to require that Grantee relocate or remove any part of the District Cooling System where the City determines public convenience would be enhanced or for any other public purpose, including but not limited to the use of the Public Ways for public transportation purposes. The permit referred to in Section 13.1 may be amended or revoked in whole or in part by the Commissioner of the Department of the Environment, in consultation with the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation, should such Commissioner consider it necessary or advisable for a public purpose or that the continued operation of Grantee’s Distribution System in whole or part would be injurious with the public health or safety. Grantee shall make no claims for costs or damages against the City by reason of such removal or relocation. Upon thirty (30) days written notice to Grantee of partial or complete revocation of permit from the Commissioner the Department of the Environment, Grantee shall remove, modify, replace, or relocate its facilities as required at its own expense. In the event that Grantee shall not remove, modify, replace, or relocate its facilities as required by said notice within thirty (30) days as aforesaid, the Commissioner of the Department of the Transportation may cause the same to be done at Grantee’s expense and all expenses incurred or damages paid by the City on

account of such action shall be paid by Grantee on demand. In the event the City exercises its predominant right to use any part of the Public Way for a public purpose, the City shall reasonably cooperate with Grantee in finding an alternate site for any facilities comprising a part of the Distribution Facilities which are removed and in avoiding disruption to Grantee’s District Cooling System or Services to the extent such disruption is not reasonably required. In an emergency, as determined by the City, the City may order Grantee to remove, relocate or deactivate its facilities within forty-eight (48) hours.

3.3.3 Grantee shall, in coordination with the City’s police and fire departments, establish standard operating procedures for emergency situations. Grantee shall maintain adequate local offices to provide repairs and maintenance services and personnel available to address both concerns arising during normal business hours and 24 hour emergency service. The City shall be informed as to the location and telephone number of Grantee’s regular office and of its emergency representative. Wherever, in case of fire or other disaster, it becomes necessary in the judgment of the City to remove or to take action which results in damage to any of Grantee’s District Cooling System, no charge shall be made by Grantee against the City for restoration and repair.

3.3.4 Temporary Removal. At the request of any person holding a valid building permit issued by the City and upon reasonable notice, depending on the circumstances, but not, in any case, exceeding thirty (30) days (unless Grantee shall reasonably demonstrate to the City that more than thirty (30) days shall be required, in which case, such longer period as the City may reasonably determine) Grantee may temporarily raise, lower, or remove its pipes as may be necessary for the performance of the work so permitted, subject to payment in advance to the

Grantee of the direct and indirect expenses of such temporary move by the permit holder, including standby time.

Section 3.4 No Burden on Public Ways. Grantee shall not attempt to construct, or install, its Distribution System in such a fashion as to unduly burden the present or future use of the Public Ways or to exclude other present or future users of the Public Ways, including, but not limited to, other District Energy Systems or providers of Services. In designing its Distribution System, Grantee shall not provide for conduit space in excess of Grantee’s present or reasonably anticipated future needs, based upon Grantee’s business plan which shall be submitted to the City prior to the issuance of any permit pursuant to Section 13.1. Such business plan shall include a list of current and reasonably anticipated customers of the Services, together with copies of all available letters of intent. The Commissioner of the Department of Environment, in consultation with the Department of Transportation, is authorized to regulate the size of the Distribution System to be used by Grantee in the Public Way. In the event that the City shall determine that any portion of Grantee’s District Cooling System, either planned or constructed, unduly burdens any portion of the Public Ways for present or future use, Grantee shall be required either to modify its plans for construction of its Distribution System, or to take such actions as the City shall determine for the sake of public convenience to eliminate the problem within the time provided by the City and the Code.

Section 3.5 Police Power.

(a)The City expressly reserves, and the Grantee expressly recognizes, the City’s right and duty to adopt, from time to time, in addition to the provisions herein contained, such ordinances, rules and regulations as the City may deem necessary in the exercise of its police

power, provided that such ordinances, rules or regulations shall be reasonable and not unconstitutionally in conflict with the rights granted in this Agreement.

(b)The City, by the granting of this Agreement, does not surrender or to any extent lose, waive, impair or lessen the lawful powers and rights now or hereafter vested in the City under the Constitution and statutes of the State of Illinois and under the Code. Grantee, by its acceptance of this Agreement agrees that all lawful regulatory powers and rights, as may be from time to time vested in the City, shall be in full force and effect and subject to the exercise thereof by the City, at any time from time to time. The exercise of these lawful powers and rights shall not unconstitutionally conflict with the rights granted in this Agreement.

Section 3.6 Furnishing of Information. Grantee shall furnish to the City’s Department of Revenue, such information as may be required at such times by such Department (including customer lists, if so required), to effect compliance by Grantee and Grantee’s customers with any ordinances of the City of Chicago which shall be in effect from time to time regulating, taxing or otherwise concerning Grantee’s operation of its District Cooling System pursuant to this Agreement. Grantee also specifically acknowledges its duty and obligation to comply with the ordinances of the City, including any ordinances that require the payment or collection of any City tax, or the obtaining of any City licenses. Breaching the provisions of this section 3.6 shall be a default under this Agreement.

SECTION 4. CHANGE OF CONTROL, ASSIGNMENT, AND SUBLEASE

Section 4.1 Change of Control

4.1.1 Privilege is Personal to Grantee. The rights granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be a privilege to be held in personal trust by Grantee. Except as otherwise provided herein,

Grantee shall not transfer or assign the rights granted in this Agreement or its ownership or operation of its District Cooling System, or any portion thereof through sale, merger, corporate reorganization, consolidation, leaseback or any other manner or transfer or assign in any manner conduit or other space occupied by its District Cooling System, without the prior consent of the City Council expressed by resolution and then only on such conditions as may be therein prescribed. Any sale, transfer or assignment not made according to the procedures set forth in this Section 4 shall void the rights granted by this Agreement. The sale, transfer or assignment in bulk of the major portion of the tangible assets of Grantee shall be considered an assignment subject to the provisions of this Section 4.

4.1.2 Authorization by City Council. Any sale, transfer or assignment described in Section 4.1.1 authorized by City Council shall be made by a bill of sale or similar document, an executed copy of which shall be filed with the Commissioner of the Department of the Environment within thirty (30) days after any such sale, transfer or assignment; provided however, that the assignee must agree to comply with this Agreement and amendments thereto, provide proof of legal, technical, financial, and character qualifications as reasonably determined by the City, and provide disclosure of ownership interests as required by Chapter 2-154 of the Municipal Code of Chicago and provide such other certifications as the City shall determine are required.

4.1.3 Transfer to Subsidiary. Notwithstanding Section 4.1.1, Grantee may form a wholly owned subsidiary and assign its rights under this Agreement to such subsidiary without prior consent the City Council; provided, however, that Grantee shall provide notice of such assignment and full disclosure to the Commissioner of the Department of the Environment and

the Corporation Counsel as to the nature of such subsidiary within thirty (30) days of such assignment.

4.1.4 Transfer of Control of Grantee. Prior approval of City Council, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall be required where ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the control of Grantee is acquired during the term of this Agreement in any transaction or series of transactions by a person or one or more of persons acting in concert, none of whom owned or controlled fifty percent (50%) or more of the right to control Grantee, singly or collectively on the effective date of this Agreement. By its acceptance of this Agreement, Grantee specifically agrees that any such acquisition occurring without prior approval of the City Council shall void the rights granted under this Agreement. This provision shall apply to any limited partnership wherein fifty percent (50%) or more of the control of Grantee is to be transferred to limited partners or to a general partner which is not Grantee.

4.1.5 Pledge of Controlling Interests or Assets. Prior City Council approval shall not be required for a transfer or pledge in trust, mortgage, or hypothecation of Grantee’s partnership interests or common stock, as the case may be, or portions of Grantee’s District Cooling System in whole or in part to secure an indebtedness except where such pledge shall involve hypothecation of more than seventy-five (75%) of the fair market value of Grantee’s District Cooling System. Prior consent of City Council shall be required for such pledge or transfer in trust of more than seventy-five (75%) of the fair market value of Grantee’s District Cooling System, as and said consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. Any such pledge or transfer in trust does not imply any right of the pledgee to assume any rights hereunder without City Council approval.

4.1.6 Disclosure of Ownership. Grantee must submit to the Department of the Environment, the Economic Disclosure Statement required by Chapter 2-154 of the Code. Grantee, or any assignee permitted hereunder, shall, within thirty (30) days of any such transaction, file an amendment to the foregoing statement of ownership interest with the Department of the Environment in the event ownership of ten percent (10%) of control Grantee is acquired during the term of this Agreement by any person or one or more groups of persons acting in concert after the Effective Date.

(A) Grantee shall furnish to the City’s Department of Revenue, such information as may be required at such times by such Department (including customer lists, if so required), to effect compliance by Grantee and Grantee’s customers with any ordinances of the City of Chicago which shall be in effect from time to time regulating, taxing or otherwise concerning Grantee’s operation of its District Cooling System pursuant to this Agreement which information is proprietary and shall be held confidential subject to Section 14.1. Grantee also specifically acknowledges its duty and obligation to comply with the ordinances of the City, including any ordinances that require the payment or collection of any City tax, or the obtaining of any City licenses. Breaching the provisions of this subparagraph A shall be a default under this Agreement.

SECTION 5. COMPENSATION

Section 5.1 General Compensation. Grantee agrees to pay the City as General Compensation during each Compensation Year for the use of the Public Ways throughout the duration of this Agreement (subject to the City’s rights of adjustment set forth in Section 2.3 hereof) a sum equal to the General Compensation as set forth below. The General Compensation during the Compensation Year ending December 31, 1995 shall be the greater of $50,000 or two

percent (2%) of Grantee’s Total Gross Billings. The General Compensation during the Compensation Year ending December 31, 1996 shall be the greater of $70,000 or two percent of Grantee’s Total Gross Billings. For each Compensation Year beginning in the 1997 Compensation Year (subject to the City’s rights of adjustment set forth in Section 2.3 hereof and to adjustments made pursuant to Section 7.1.2); the General Compensation fees shall be two percent (2%) of Total Gross Billings; but in no case shall the General Compensation for any Compensation Year beginning in 1997 be less than $70,000 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7.1.2), adjusted for the rate of inflation pursuant to the Consumer Price Index for Urban Areas.

5.1.1 Calculation and Payment on a Monthly Basis. Grantee shall pay to the Director of the Department of Revenue for each month during a Compensation Year an amount equal to the greater of:

(a) a percentage of applicable minimum fixed fee described in Section 5.1, calculated on the basis of the amount of such minimum fee divided by the number of months in such Compensation Year; or

(b) the estimated Annual Gross Billings Based Fee for such month.

The greater of (a) or (b) above shall be referred to as the “Monthly Payment”.

Said letter of credit shall provide that if Grantee fails to pay the City any General Compensation due the City within the time fixed in this Agreement; or fails to repay the City within ten (10) days any reasonable damages, expenses or costs which the City is compelled to pay by reason of Grantee’s act or omission to act in connection with this Agreement; or fails after three (3) days notice of such failure to comply with any provisions of this Agreement which the Commissioner of the Department of the Transportation reasonably determines can be remedied by a draw on the letter of credit, the City can immediately request payment of the amount of the deficiency, with interest and penalties, if any, from the letter of credit.

If amounts are drawn under the letter of credit, Grantee shall take such actions as may be necessary to maintain such letter of credit at full amount within three (3) days of notification by the City of its withdrawal against such letter of credit.

or the issuer of the letter of credit, as the case may be, to provide sixty (60) days advance written notice by registered mail of such surety’s or issuer’s intention to terminate, substantially change, or not to renew such bond or letter of credit to the Corporation Counsel and the Grantee. In the event of any of the foregoing notices being given, Grantee shall obtain, pay premiums for, and file with the City’s Corporation Counsel a replacement bond or letter of credit as the case may be, which shall begin coverage on or prior to the proposed effective date of such termination, substantial change or non-renewal (“Cancellation Date”); provided, however, that no replacement bond or replacement letter of credit, as the case may be, shall meet the requirements of Section 6 unless it has been approved by the Corporation Counsel on or prior to the Cancellation Date of the bond, or letter of credit being replaced. The City shall approve or reject in writing any proposed replacement bond within thirty (30) business days of submission to the Corporation Counsel. In the event Grantee is unable to procure a replacement bond meeting the requirements of Section 6.2 or a replacement letter of credit meeting the requirements of Section 6.3 by the Cancellation Date, then Grantee can satisfy the requirements of Section 6.1 by depositing the sum of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) on or prior to the Cancellation Date into an escrow account for the benefit of the City, which escrow account would be held by a trustee of the City’s choosing pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation Counsel.

Section 6.5 Failure to Comply is Material Breach. Except as permitted by Section 6.1, failure to carry the insurance required by Section 6.1 throughout the period set forth in Section 6.1 shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Except as permitted by Section 6.4, failure to maintain in force a bond meeting the requirements of Section 6.2 or a letter of credit meeting the requirements of Section 6.3 shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

Upon any such material breach, without requirement for any hearing or notice, the permit described in Section 13.1 shall be automatically suspended without further action by the City. Upon such suspension, no further work related to Grantee’s District Cooling System shall be permitted and Grantee shall immediately cease operation of its District Cooling System. Such permit is subject to reinstatement by the City upon compliance by Grantee with the requirements of Section 6.1 and 6.2 and satisfaction by Grantee of such conditions as the City shall determine are necessary for protection of the City. The City further reserves the right to remove or cause the removal of any or all of Grantee’s facilities in the Public Ways subject to this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that a material breach of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 creates irreparable harm against the City for which an injunction is proper.

Section 6.6 Right to Require Replacement of Bond (or Letter of Credit) or Insurance. If the financial condition of any bonding or insurance company (or letter of credit issuer) issuing a performance bond (or letter of credit) or insurance policy pursuant to Section 6 materially and adversely changes, the City may, at any time, require that any such bond (or letter of credit) or insurance policy be replaced with such other bond (or letter of credit) or insurance policy consistent with the requirements set forth in this Section.

Section 6.7 Alteration. Grantee shall not materially change or alter the terms or conditions of the bond (or letter of credit) or insurance policies referred to herein or replace or cancel said bond (or letter of credit) or insurance policies without prior approval of the City Comptroller’s Office of Risk Management (in the case of the insurance policies) or the Corporation Counsel (in the case of the bond or letter of credit).

Section 6.8 City Comptroller’s Right to Increase Minimum Limits. In the event of changed circumstances that would render the limits of the insurance policies set forth in Section 6 hereof inadequate, the City reserves the right to reasonably increase the minimum limits of such insurance policies, at the end of the policy terms, upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Grantee in order to ensure adequate protection to the City. Within sixty (60) days after the date of notice, Grantee shall increase the limits of such insurance policies, as applicable, to an amount equal to or greater than the increased minimum limits.

Grantee shall provide coverage for any Contractor by either obtaining the necessary endorsements to its insurance policies or requiring such contractor or subcontractor to obtain appropriate insurance coverage consistent with Section 6.1 of this Agreement and appropriate to the extent of its involvement in the construction, installation, maintenance or operation of Grantee’s District Cooling System and shall provide evidence of the foregoing as required in Section 6.1.

Section 6.11 Indemnity.

Indemnified expenses shall include, but not be limited to, all out-of-pocket expenses of the City, such as attorney fees, and shall also include the reasonable value of any services rendered by the Corporation Counsel or his assistants or any consultants, employees or agents of the City and all costs and other expenses arising therefrom or incurred in connection therewith.

Section 9.1 In General. Grantee does not presently contemplate using the Chicago Freight Tunnels for its System. Should Grantee desire to use the Chicago Freight Tunnels, Grantee and the City shall negotiate an amendment to this Agreement to encompass the Freight Tunnels. It is acknowledged by Grantee that the Chicago Freight Tunnels are a unique environment and space has become in certain portions thereof a scarce resource. In order to preserve the availability of the Chicago Freight Tunnels for future grantees and permittees and

because of the nature of Grantee’s District Cooling System and Services, the Grantee may be subject to restrictions which limit the size of the conduit or facilities the Grantee constructs or installs therein or limitations as to the locations of such conduits or facilities as to the use of the Tunnels in general. The City reserves the right to increase the amount of compensation payable under this Agreement and to impose additional fees specifically for the use of the Chicago Freight Tunnels not otherwise described in this Agreement, so long as such fees are nondiscriminatory and reasonable, given the nature of Grantee’s District Cooling System and the nature of its Services. Any use of the Freight Tunnels is also subject to the provisions of any City ordinance or regulation governing the use of the Freight Tunnels. Subject to the foregoing conditions and such restrictions on the availability of space as may be established by the City’s Department of Transportation, Grantee may apply to use the Freight Tunnels for its District Cooling System on the same basis and subject to the same conditions as other grantees and permittees authorized to use the Freight Tunnels for Systems of similar size and purpose on the use of the Freight Tunnels established by the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation.

SECTION 10. REVOCATION OR TERMINATION OF PRIVILEGES

Section 10.1 Basis for Revocation. Subject to the provisions of Sections 10.2 and 10.3 of this Agreement, the permission and authority granted by the City to Grantee to use the Public Ways for its District Cooling System pursuant to the Ordinance may be revoked by the City whenever any of the following occur:

(A) Grantee fails to comply with the conditions of occupancy of the Public Ways set forth herein or in the Municipal Code of Chicago;

(B) Grantee violates other material terms of this Agreement;

(C) Grantee practices fraud or deceit upon the City or its customers, including the intentional or reckless installation of Trespassing Facilities, or fails in any material respect to proceed with due diligence in constructing Grantee’s District Cooling System;

(D) Grantee fails to provide or pay any material portion of the General Compensation or any other Compensation owed the City when due;

(E) Grantee fails to furnish an audit when due or fails to cooperate with the reasonable requests by City officials for information or for inspection;

(F) Grantee becomes insolvent, or unable or unwilling to pay its uncontested debts, or is adjudged bankrupt or seeks relief under the bankruptcy laws.

Section 10.2 Corrective Period. In the event that the City believes that grounds for revocation exist or have existed, the City shall notify the Grantee in writing, setting forth the nature and facts of such noncompliance. If, within thirty (30) days following such written notification, the Grantee has not furnished reasonably satisfactory evidence that corrective action has been taken or is being actively and expeditiously pursued, or that the alleged violations did not occur, or that the alleged violations were beyond Grantee’s control pursuant to Section 15.12 hereof, the Agreement may be terminated by the Commissioner of the Department of the Environment. Upon good cause, the thirty (30) day correction period shall be extended for such reasonable time as said Commissioner shall determine. Such good cause must be detailed in

writing to said Commissioner at least five days prior to the lapse of the thirty (30) day correction period.

Section 10.3 Prior Notice and Hearing. After expiration of such thirty (30) day period (as it may be extended), the Commissioner of the Department of Environment may terminate the Agreement provided that (1) notice has been given to the Grantee that the Commissioner of the Department of Environment proposes to take such action and the grounds therefor and (2) the Grantee has had a reasonable opportunity to be heard by said Commissioner.

Section 10.4 Early Termination by Grantee. Grantee may request early termination of its privilege to use the Public Ways granted pursuant to this Agreement (“Early Termination”). In order for Grantee to be released pursuant to Early Termination from its obligation to pay General Compensation pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof and to meet the requirements of Section 5.1.5, Grantee must satisfy the following prior conditions:

(1) Grantee must provide to the Commissioner of the Department of the Environment, the Director of Revenue and the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation written notice of its request to exercise Early Termination and must propose a date, which can be no earlier than six (6) months after the date of said written notice (the “Proposed Early Termination Date”) on which such obligation to pay General Compensation shall cease;

(2) Grantee shall be obligated to continue to pay, and shall pay General Compensation as required by Section 5.1 hereof for the period up to the Proposed Early Termination Date;

(3) Grantee shall have fully complied with Section 10.5 hereof; and

In the event that Grantee satisfies all of the foregoing conditions, Grantee shall be entitled to cease paying General Compensation and meeting the requirements of Section 5.1.5 on and after the Proposed Early Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of Grantee as to a performance bond shall extend until satisfaction of Section 10.5.1 by Grantee and the obligations of Grantee with respect to indemnification of the City set forth in Section 6.10 shall survive any such release.

Section 10.5 Removal or Abandonment of Grantee’s District Cooling System.

10.5.1 Removal by Grantee. Upon revocation or termination of the privilege herein granted the Grantee, without cost or expense to the City of Chicago, shall promptly remove or abandon in place, at the option of the City, its District Cooling System and restore the Public Ways where disturbed by removal of said structures or appliances to a proper condition under the supervision and to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation and in accordance with this Agreement and the Code. Buildings, plants or structures not on the Public Ways constituting a part of Grantees’ District Cooling System shall be demolished by the Grantee at no cost to the City at the City’s option. In all cases, such facilities which are not removed within one (1) year of such date of termination or revocation shall become the property of the City.

10.5.2 Removal by the City. In the event of the failure or refusal of the Grantee to remove facilities or restore the Public Ways where facilities are removed, as required by Section 10.5.1, the City may remove or cause the removal of Grantee’s Facilities provided, however, that

the City shall be reimbursed for the total costs of such removal to the extent that such costs exceed the amount of the bond set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement.

SECTION 11. SANCTIONS

Section 11.1 Material Underpayment or Nonpayment. In the event the independent audit provided for in Section 5.5 determines that Grantee made underpayments in any month which exceeded ten percent (10%) of the amount due in said month, or in the event Grantee fails to make any payment on the date due, Grantee shall pay, in addition to the amount due the City, interest thereon compounded daily at the rate of one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the corporate base rate as computed daily by the First National Bank of Chicago. Interest on the entire sum originally due shall accrue from the date on which the original payment should have been made.

Section 11.2 Liquidated Damages. The parties agree that the events set forth below will result in damages that will be impracticable or difficult to ascertain. Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.4 and 11.5, Grantee therefore agrees to pay the City the sum of six thousand dollars ($6,000) a day until the violation is corrected, which shall not be considered in the nature of a penalty. Such events are as follows:

Section 11.3 Notice of Violation. If the City has reason to believe that Grantee is in violation of this Agreement, Grantee shall be notified in writing of the violation setting forth the nature of such violation. Within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such notice, Grantee shall respond in writing regarding such notice of violation with supporting documentation that such violation did not occur or was beyond Grantee’s control and requesting an opportunity to be heard or shall remedy the violation within such thirty (30) day period; provided, however, that the City may determine that the violation is of such a serious nature that a lesser period for remedying the violation is warranted. Grantee shall remedy the problem or respond within that period. If Grantee cannot reasonably remedy the violation within the time period specified and so informs the City, the City may extend the time permitted for remedying the violation provided Grantee informs the City on a regular basis of the steps being taken to remedy the violation.

Section 11.4 Notice of Assessment. If within thirty (30) days (or such lesser period specified in the notice) of its receipt of notice of the violation pursuant to Section 11.3 of this Agreement, Grantee fails to submit a written response contesting the notice of violation or, if after requesting an opportunity to be heard, Grantee fails to prove in said hearing that such

violation did not occur or was beyond its control or if Grantee fails to remedy the violation within any cure period under this Agreement or any extensions thereto, the City, after considering all relevant factors, may impose upon Grantee, liquidated damages or other monetary sanctions from the date of notice of violation in accordance with Sections 11.1 and 11.2 of this Agreement and shall provide Grantee with prior written notice of such assessment. Such notice of assessment shall state the amount to be assessed and provide a date at least fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice upon which payment for the violation is due.

Section 11.5 Act or Omission Beyond Grantee’s Control. Grantee shall not be subject to the imposition of liquidated damages referred to herein for any act or omission if such act or omission was beyond Grantee’s control, including but not limited to, events described in Section 15.11 hereof. An act or omission shall not be deemed to be beyond Grantee’s control solely because it was committed, omitted or caused by an Affiliate involved in constructing, installing, maintaining or operating Grantee’s Distribution Facilities within the City of Chicago. The inability of Grantee to obtain financing and the misfeasance or malfeasance of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall not be deemed an act or omission beyond Grantee’s control.

Section 11.6 Other Rights of City. The right of the City to impose upon Grantee liquidated damages pursuant to Section 11.1 and 11.2 hereof shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies the City has under this Agreement, the Code or other applicable laws including the right of termination pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement.

Section 11.7 No Waiver of Rights. The decision by the City to forego the imposition upon Grantee of liquidated damages in a particular instance shall in no way act to waive the City’s rights regarding subsequent violations of this Agreement.

SECTION 12. MOST FAVORED NATIONS

The City Council may authorize another person to construct, install, operate and maintain a District Cooling System in the Public Ways of the City in order to offer Services for profit to more than a single customer pursuant to an ordinance or agreement authorized by ordinance, including any modifications of an existing ordinance or agreement, containing compensation terms which would, if applicable to Grantee’s situation and if applied to Grantee, result in Grantee paying less total annual compensation than the compensation to be paid by Grantee pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement (said ordinance and/or agreement shall be referred to collectively as an “Alternative Agreement”). In such event, Grantee shall have the option, exercisable in writing within ninety (90) days Grantee of after notice of adoption of the Alternative Agreement, to replace the compensation terms stated in Section 5 of this Agreement with the compensation terms set forth in the Alternative Agreement which are applicable to Grantee’s situation. Grantee shall notify the Commissioner of the Department of the Environment in writing of Grantee’s election to accept such substitute compensation terms pursuant to an agreement amending or replacing this Agreement (the “Amending Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Grantee’s option to elect to substitute compensation pursuant to this Section 12 shall not provide any retroactive credit for compensation already paid to the City pursuant hereto and shall be conditioned on the acceptance by Grantee in the Amending Agreement of such other provisions of the Alternative Agreement as the Commissioner of the Department of the Environment shall reasonably require in the interest of fairness and uniformity.

SECTION 13. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

Section 13.1 Permit. The permission and authority herein granted for installation of Grantee’s Distribution System shall be exercised through the permit application process.

In the event that a third party (not under the control of either Grantee or the City), shall request disclosure of any such confidential information from the City in accordance with the Mayoral Executive 89-1 or the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, the City shall confer with Grantee as to whether Grantee authorizes release of such information. In the event that Grantee wishes to continue to preserve the confidential nature of such information, and the City has no reason to believe that such information is not protected from disclosure pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act or Mayoral Executive Order 89-1, then the City shall not release such confidential information in the absence of a court order; provided that Grantee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless

the Indemnified Parties against all claims, damages (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) which the City may sustain or become liable for which arise from any action to require disclosure of information designated by Grantee to be confidential. In the event that the City is presented with a subpoena duces tecum regarding any documents or information properly designated confidential by Grantee which may be in the City’s possession by reason of this Agreement, the City shall give notice to Grantee (unless subpoena duces tecum prevents the City from providing such notice) with the understanding that Grantee shall have the opportunity to contest such process by any means available to it before such documents or information required to be submitted by the City to a court or other third party.

In the event that the Grantee shall not elect to undertake appropriate legal proceedings to prevent disclosure of information designated as “confidential”, Grantee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties against all claims, damages (including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) which such Indemnified Parties may sustain or become liable for which arises from any action to require disclosure of such information or resulting from any such disclosure.

5. 65 ILCS 5/11 - 42.1-1 provides that a municipality may not enter into a contract or agreement with an individual or other entity that is delinquent in the payment of any tax administered by the Illinois Department of Revenue unless the contracting party is contesting, in accordance with the procedures established by the appropriate Revenue Act its liability for the tax or the amount of the tax or unless the contracting party has entered into an agreement to pay the tax and is in compliance with the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the municipality may enter into the contract if the contracting authority for the municipality determines that:

(1) the contract is for good or services vital to the public health, safety, or welfare; and

(2) the municipality is unable to acquire the goods or services at a comparable price and of comparable quality from other sources.

Section 6. As of the Effective Date of this Seventh Amendment, the Title to Section 9 to the Current Agreement is changed from “Chicago Freight Tunnels” to “Chicago Freight Tunnels and the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel.”

Section 7. As of the Effective Date of this Seventh Amendment, a new Section 9.2 is added to the Current Agreement which reads in its entirety as follows:

“Section 9.2

(A) LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel. It is acknowledged that the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel is City-owned property and is a unique environment. Grantee desires to use portions of the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel to

install Distribution Facilities. Nevertheless, for purposes of this Agreement, to the extent any portions of the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel are included as Additional Distribution Facilities pursuant to this Agreement, all provisions of the Agreement relating to the Public Ways shall be applied to the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel. Space in the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel may in the future become a scarce resource. In order to preserve the availability of the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel for future grantees and permittees, the Grantee may be required to restrict the size or sizes or be limited in the approved location of the conduit or facilities the Grantee constructs or installs therein in accordance with permits issued by the Department of Transportation. The City reserves the right to impose additional fees specifically for the use of the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel not otherwise described in this Agreement based on the dimensions and nature of Grantee’s facilities, so long as such fees will be applied in a nondiscriminatory and reasonable fashion to other similar users.

(B) Tunnel Agreement Required. Prior to the issuance of permits, Grantee shall enter into such additional agreements with the City as may be required by the Department of Transportation regarding construction, installation, maintenance, inspection, insurance and other related aspects of use of the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel encompassing one of the Authorized Routes. Any disputes relating to use of the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel with present or future users of the LaSalle Street Trolley

Tunnel shall be resolved to the satisfactory of Commissioner of the Department of Environment, the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation and other concerned City departments.

(C) No City Obligation. The City will not be obligated to pay any amounts to Grantee for any cost of preparation, maintenance or improvement to the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel and Grantee expressly waives any right to any such contributions. Any use of the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel shall be solely at Grantee’s risk and the City shall not he liable in any way therefore.

(D) Maintenance. Grantee further agrees to maintain in conjunction with other users those portions of the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel through which Grantee’s system is placed or operates, or which is affected directly or indirectly by such operations, and will keep such portions free of hazards to the satisfaction of the City and will keep such portions of the Trolley Tunnel passable for purposes of inspection by City personnel or its designated agents. Grantee shall provide reasonable cooperation to the City, its designated agents and other users of the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel for installation, construction, inspection and maintenance and shall not interfere with such activities. The privilege granted herein shall be maintained and used in accordance with this Agreement, any other tunnel agreement to which Grantee is a party, and any restrictions on the use of the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel established by the Commissioner of the

Department of Transportation and the Commissioner of the Department of Environment.”

Section 8. As of the Effective Date of this Seventh Amendment, pursuant to Section 7.1.2(b) of the Current Agreement, Section 5.1 of the Current Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Section 5.1 General Compensation.

(A) Grantee agrees to pay the City as General Compensation during each Compensation Year for the use of the Public Ways throughout the duration of this Agreement (subject to the City’s rights of adjustment set forth in Section 2.3 hereof) a sum equal to the General Compensation as set forth below. The General Compensation during the Compensation Year ending December 31, 1995 shall be the greater of $50,000 or two percent (2%) of Grantee’s Total Gross Billings. The General Compensation during the Compensation Year ending December 31, 1996 shall be the greater of $140,000 or two percent (2%) of Grantee’s Total Gross Billings. The General Compensation during the Compensation Year ending December 31, 1997 shall be the greater of $320,000 or 2% of Grantee’s Total Gross Billings (including for 1997 and all future Compensation Years amounts generated by the Third Plant). For the 1998 Compensation Year (subject to adjustments made pursuant to Section 7.1.2), the General Compensation fees shall be the greater of $320,000, or 2% of Total Gross Billings (subject to adjustments made pursuant to Section 7.1.2). For each Compensation Year beginning with the 1999

Compensation Year the General Compensation fee shall be two percent (2%) of Total Gross Billings; but in no case shall the General Compensation for any Compensation Year beginning with 1999 be less $320,000 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7.1.2 hereof), adjusted for the rate of inflation during the preceding Compensation Year pursuant to the Consumer Price Index for Urban Affairs. All rates of compensation set forth in this paragraph are subject to the City’s right of adjustment set forth in Section 2.3 hereof, as applicable.”

(B) In addition to clause (A), Grantee shall pay a surcharge for use of the portion of the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel authorized by the City to be used for Additional Distribution Facilities sufficient for cost recovery by the City of pro rata costs of inspecting, maintaining, improving and operating the LaSalle Street Tunnel, such surcharge to be determined in a nondiscriminatory and reasonable fashion among similar users by the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation and the Commissioner of the Department of the Environment. Such surcharge rate or rates shall be published by said departments on an annual basis and provided to Grantee and other users of the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel on an annual basis. It is estimated that the initial surcharge for Grantee for use of the LaSalle Street Tunnel for its Additional Distribution Facilities as set forth herein in 1997 shall be $30,000 and shall be paid prior to the issuance of any permits for work in the LaSalle Street Trolley Tunnel. In subsequent years, such surcharge shall be paid within thirty (30) days after notice of

the amount thereof has been furnished to Grantee by the City; provided that in the absence of any such notice by January 30 of any Compensation Year, Grantee shall pay the amount equal to that paid for the preceding Compensation Year on or before February 15 of such Compensation Year, subject to retroactive adjustment based on actual notice of such surcharge amount for such Compensation Year.

Section 9. Pursuant to Section 2 of the Ordinance, Section 15.10 in the Current Agreement is designated as subsection “(A)” “In General” and new subsections (B) through (G) are added to Section 15.10 of the Current Agreement to read in their entirety as follows:

Copies of all permits that require periodic renewal must be forwarded to such Commissioner throughout the duration of this Agreement. Non-compliance with this requirement may be cause termination of this Agreement.

e. Permit documentation and all other documentation and transactions pertaining to all Environmental Laws.

Disposal of all materials, construction debris, soil, and other wastes shall be at a disposal site that is properly licensed and permitted to accept the particular materials, construction debris, soil and other wastes delivered to it in accordance with all Environmental Laws. Failure to identify disposal site(s) for materials, construction debris, soil and other wastes or to submit such information when requested by the City’s Commissioner of the Department of the Environment may be cause to terminate the Agreement.

2. At the request of the City’s Commissioner of the Department of the Environment, the Grantee shall provide said Commissioner or his/her designated representative with copies of all load tickets, manifests, bills of lading, scale tickets and other pertinent documents. When requested by said Commissioner, Grantee shall provide copies of all permits and/or licenses for the proposed transfer station and/or landfill. In the event that the transfer station and/or landfill proposed for use by the Grantee does not possess the necessary permits and/or licenses to accept the materials, construction debris, soil or other wastes, Grantee will replace the transfer station and/or landfill. If the Grantee disposes of materials, construction debris, soil or other wastes at a site which is not properly permitted, the Grantee shall be responsible for all costs associated with the removal of the waste to a properly licensed/permitted landfill or disposal site.

3. The Grantee shall accept full responsibility for compliance with all Environmental Laws.

4. The Grantee shall notify the City’s Commissioner of he Department of the Environment within 24 hours of receipt of any environmental complaints, fines, citations, violations or notices of violation (“Claim”) by any governmental body or regulatory agency against the Grantee by any third party relating to the loading, hauling or disposal of materials, construction debris, soil or other wastes in connection with its District Cooling System. The Grantee will provide evidence to the Commissioner that any such Claim has been addressed to the satisfaction of the issuer or initiator of any such Claim.

5. Grantee shall provide the City with reasonable prior written notice of any community meetings, media involvement or media coverage related to the loading, hauling or disposal of materials, construction debris, soil and other wastes related to its District Cooling System in which Grantee is asked to participate.

6. Non-compliance with these terms and conditions may be used by the City as grounds for termination of this Agreement.

(D) Equipment and Environmental Control During Transport. Grantee shall haul materials, construction debris, soil and other wastes in vehicles and/or containers complying with all applicable Environmental Laws. All equipment used to transfer materials, construction debris, soil and other wastes shall be designed to prevent spillage during the hauling operation. Grantee’s equipment shall fully comply with all City, state and federal regulations, laws and ordinances pertaining to size, load weight, safety and any Environmental Laws.”

(E) Indemnification. Grantee acknowledges that 6.11 of this Agreement applies to any violation of Environmental Laws by Grantee or its contractors.

(F) Environmental Controls. Contractor shall comply with all Environmental Laws with respect to the elimination of excessive noise and pollution of air and water due to its construction and other operations. Grantee shall minimize the noise of heavy construction equipment and control the dust,

(G) Hazardous Materials

(a) In the event that Grantee while working within the Authorized Routes encounters asbestos or toxic or hazardous materials not caused by or introduced by Grantee or its Contractor or subcontractor, Contractor shall, before disturbing such materials, immediately notify the Commissioner of the Department of the Environment of the location and apparent location thereof, and as to whether it is feasible to re-route wiring or other work so as to avoid such materials. If such re-routing is feasible Grantee shall do so at no cost to the City. To the extent that Grantee exacerbates any existing environmental condition. Grantee shall be liable for any additional cost of abatement so caused by Grantee’s activities.

(b) If such re-routing or avoidance is not feasible in the judgment of said Commissioner, and such material must be disturbed or relocated to complete such work, then Grantee shall perform or cause one or more of its Contractors or subcontractors (including, if necessary, a new, specialized subcontractor then retained with the consent and approval of the City for such purpose) to perform such abatement, containment, treatment or removal and disposal of such materials as may be required by law, subject to the provisions of paragraph (C) of this Section.

(c) In the undertaking of such abatement, treatment, containment, removal or disposition, Grantee, or such person employed by Grantee:

ARTICLE I. OPENINGS, CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR IN PUBLIC WAYS

10-20-100 License.

a. No person shall make an opening in, or construct or repair any pavement in, any public way or other public place pursuant to this chapter unless that person holds a public way work license as required by this article. The public way work permit required by this article to make an opening in, or construct or repair any pavement in, any public way or other public place shall only be issued to a person holding such a license. Before the department of transportation issues any such permit, the department of transportation shall first require proof that the permit applicant holds such a license. Such a license shall be effective for one calendar year, and the fee for such a license shall be $125.00. Such a license may be issued at any time during a calendar year, but shall be effective only for the calendar year in which it is issued. The commissioner of transportation is hereby authorized to issue such a license and is authorized to promulgate regulations relating to such a license, including but not limited to terms and conditions for the issuance, maintenance and renewal of the license, the scope of work that may be performed under the license, and terms and conditions applicable to the insurance and letter of credit required by this article.

b. The public way work license specified in this section shall not be required for the placement, planting, cultivation, maintenance or removal of any tree, shrub, flower, sod or other plant material in the public way.

c. The public way work license specified in this section shall not be required of a government agency.

10-20-105 License application.

a. The application for the public way work license required by this article shall be made in writing to the commissioner of transportation on a form provided for that purpose and shall require the signature of the license applicant. The commissioner of transportation shall be the custodian of all such applications.

b. Every application for such a license shall contain, in addition to such other information as the commissioner of transportation may require, the name of the person desiring the license and the place of business of such applicant, as well as the names, residence (or, if not a natural person, business) addresses, social security numbers (or tax identification numbers or other government identification numbers acceptable to the commissioner of transportation), and percentages of ownership interest of all substantial owners of the applicant.

c. Every application for such a license shall provide that, as a condition for receiving the license, the applicant shall indemnify, save and keep harmless the city from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense or liability of any kind whatsoever which the city may suffer, or which the city may be put to, or which may be recovered from the city, from or on account of the issuance of such license, or from or on account of any act or thing done by virtue of the authority given in such license, or for any damage, loss or expense to any person caused by the tearing up, constructing, repairing or removing of such public way or part thereof, whether or not performed pursuant to a valid license.

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL VERSION OF CHAPTER 10-20 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF CHICAGO. SEE CITY COUNCIL JOURNAL OF JANUARY 14, 1997 FOR OFFICIAL VERSION OF CHAPTER 10-20.

d. The willful misstatement or omission of any material information required by the license application process shall be grounds for revocation of the license for a period of up to three years.

10-20-110 License renewal.

a. The commissioner of transportation may renew the public way work license required by this article at the beginning of a new license period upon proper application and payment of a renewal fee of $125.00. Prior to renewal, all licensees and substantial owners shall provide the commissioner of transportation with the following information: the names, addresses, government identification numbers and percentages of interest required in the initial license application by this article or, where such information already has been provided in a license application, any new information necessary to make such information current and accurate.

b. The willful misstatement or omission of any material information required by the license renewal process shall be grounds for revocation of the license for a period of up to three years.

10-20-115 Insurance required for license.

No public way work license shall be issued pursuant to this article until the applicant for such license shall first have presented to the commissioner of transportation proof of insurance against any liability, loss or claim arising out of the issuance of the license, or out of work performed pursuant to the license. Such insurance shall be issued by an insurer authorized to do business in Illinois, shall be in an amount no less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and shall name the city of Chicago, its officers, employees and agents as additional insured. The insurance policy shall provide for 30 days’ written notice to the commissioner of transportation prior to any lapse, cancellation or change in coverage. The insurance shall be maintained in effect at all times during the term of the license. The commissioner of transportation in his or her discretion may require, instead of such insurance, any alternative form of indemnity, protection or security that he or she deems necessary to accomplish the above-described purposes.

10-20-120 Letter of credit required for license.

The public way work license required by this article shall be issued only after the prospective licensee shows proof to the commissioner of transportation of having established an irrevocable letter of credit for the benefit of the city of Chicago, in an amount and for a duration to be established in regulations promulgated by the commissioner of transportation, such letter of credit to be maintained in conjunction with the license and any renewals. A licensee shall bear the costs of establishing, maintaining and renewing such letter of credit, and shall bear any costs associated with a draw upon the letter of credit.

10-20-125 Letter of credit — Conditions for draw.

a. Upon the happening of all three of the following numbered subparagraphs:

(1) the amount of any restoration fee assessed pursuant to this article is insufficient to cover the cost of restoring the bituminous surface, or a licensee fails to restore the pavement or other materials in accordance with the standards and requirements of this article and other applicable provisions of this code, or any damage is done to

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL VERSION OF CHAPTER 10-20 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF CHICAGO. SEE CITY COUNCIL JOURNAL OF JANUARY 14, 1997 FOR OFFICIAL VERSION OF CHAPTER 10-20.

any underground work or connections, or otherwise, any of which will require the city of Chicago to make expenditures to correct the problem or problems; and

(2) the commissioner of transportation provides notice of the problem or problems described in subsection (a) (1) of this section to that licensee by certified mail; and

(3) after receiving notice, the licensee does not remit funds sufficient to cover the deficiency in restoration fee or the city of Chicago’s required expenditures within 45 days of receipt of the notice, or does not correct the problem or problems within a time period specified by the commissioner of transportation;

then the commissioner of transportation may draw upon that licensee’s letter of credit in such amounts as are sufficient to cover the deficiency, or cover the city of Chicago’s cost of correcting the problem or problems, in accordance with the standards and requirements of this article and other applicable provisions of this code. In the event such a draw results in insufficient funds, the director of revenue shall collect the amount of the shortfall from that licensee.

b. Upon the happening of all four of the following numbered subparagraphs:

(1) the commissioner of transportation determines that a licensee has failed to restore the pavement or other materials in accordance with the standards and requirements of this article and other applicable provisions of this code, and that such failure to restore or improper restoration has resulted in a dangerous condition that poses an imminent threat to the safety of pedestrians, motorists, or others on or near the public way; and

(2) after determining that the licensee is unable to immediately eliminate the dangerous condition, the commissioner of transportation eliminates the dangerous condition; and

(3) the commissioner of transportation notifies the licensee, by certified mail, of the problem or problems described in subsection (b) (1) of this section, and of the action taken by or on behalf of the department of transportation, and in the notification demands that the licensee reimburse the department of transportation for the funds expended to eliminate the dangerous condition; and

(4) after receiving notice, that licensee does not remit the demanded funds within 45 days of receipt of the notice;

then the commissioner of transportation may draw upon that licensee’s letter of credit in such amounts as are sufficient to cover the city of Chicago’s cost of correcting the problem or problems in accordance with the standards and requirements of this article and other applicable provisions of this code. In the event such a draw results in insufficient funds, the director of revenue shall collect the amount of the shortfall from that licensee.

c. The commissioner of transportation may in his or her discretion apply the procedures set forth in this section, either simultaneously or sequentially, to any one or more licensees either holding, or performing work pursuant to, a permit issued pursuant to this article.

d. The city of Chicago shall have the right, but not the obligation, to arrange for or carry out any restoration, repairs or other work pursuant to this section or other applicable provision of this chapter, and any action taken by the city of Chicago in arranging for or carrying out any such restoration, repairs or other work shall not relieve a licensee of liability for, or diminish a licensee’s liability for, any condition created by, or created as a result of the acts or omissions of, the licensee.

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL VERSION OF CHAPTER 10-20 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF CHICAGO. SEE CITY COUNCIL JOURNAL OF JANUARY 14, 1997 FOR OFFICIAL VERSION OF CHAPTER 10-20.

10-20-130 License suspension.

In addition to any other penalties that may be imposed under applicable law, a public way work license issued pursuant to this article may be suspended for a period of up to six months if:

(1) a licensee’s insurance or letter of credit required by this article is cancelled or is allowed to expire or otherwise lapse and such cancellation, expiration or lapse is not promptly remedied upon written notice sent by certified mail to that licensee; or

(2) the commissioner of transportation is required to draw upon a licensee’s letter of credit pursuant to this article; or

(3) the commissioner of transportation receives notification from any city board, commission, department or other city agency that another city-issued license held by the licensee has been suspended or revoked; or

(4) a licensee is repeatedly issued either a notice provided for in section 10-20-125 of this article, or a citation pursuant to this article, or any combination of notices and citations, within a license period. The number of notices and/or citations necessary for this subsection to apply shall be set forth in regulations promulgated by the commissioner of transportation. If any one or more of a licensee’s substantial owners was a substantial owner of another licensee during the license period and that other licensee received a notice provided for in section 10-20-125, or a citation pursuant to this article, during that license period, such prior notice or citation shall be included in determining the number of notices or citations received by the current licensee

10-20-135 License revocation.

In addition to any other penalties that may be imposed under applicable law, a public way work license issued pursuant to this article may be revoked for a period of up to three years if a licensee has their license suspended pursuant to this article three times within a three-year period. If any one or more of a licensee’s substantial owners was a substantial owner of another licensee during the three-year period and that other licensee had their license suspended pursuant to this article during that three-year period, such prior suspension or suspensions shall be included in determining the number of suspensions received by the current licensee.

10-20-140 Suspension or revocation — Procedure and scope.

a. Proceedings for the suspension or revocation of the public way work license required by this article shall be conducted pursuant to section 4-4-280 of this code, upon referral by the commissioner of transportation.

b. When a license suspension or license revocation is imposed on a licensee pursuant to any provision of this article, such suspension or revocation shall apply to all substantial owners of that licensee, and no such substantial owner may apply for or be issued, or be an officer, director, member, partner, shareholder, or owner in an entity that applies for or is issued, a public way work license under this article for the duration of such suspension or revocation.

10-20-145 License violations—Penalty.

a. In addition to any other penalties that may be imposed under applicable law, any person who makes an opening in, or who constructs or repairs any pavement in, any public way or other public place without first obtaining the public way work license required by this article,

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL VERSION OF CHAPTER 10-20 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF CHICAGO. SEE CITY COUNCIL JOURNAL OF JANUARY 14, 1997 FOR OFFICIAL VERSION OF CHAPTER 10-20.

or who falsifies information in order to obtain such a license, shall be subject to a fine of $500.00 for each day that the opening exists or that the construction or repair is conducted, and shall also be liable to the city of Chicago for any costs incurred by the city in arranging for or carrying out any restoration, repairs or other work necessitated by the acts or omissions of such person. The city of Chicago shall have the right, but not the obligation, to arrange for or carry out any restoration, repairs or other work pursuant to this section or other applicable provision of this chapter, and any action taken by the city of Chicago in arranging for or carrying out any such restoration, repairs or other work shall not relieve such person of liability for, or diminish that person’s liability for, any condition created by, or created as a result of the acts or omissions of, that person.

b. If a person holding the public way work license required by this article allows the insurance or letter of credit required in conjunction with such license to be cancelled or to expire or otherwise lapse for more than 30 days during the period that such insurance or letter of credit is required to be in full effect, the license will be rendered void and the person must reapply for a new license and pay a new license fee in order to be considered for a valid license.

10-20-150 Permit — Fees — Issuance.

a. It shall be unlawful for any person to make an opening in, or to construct or repair any pavement in, any public way or other public place without first obtaining a public way work permit from the commissioner of transportation; provided, however, that any such opening, construction or repair may be performed by a person holding the public way work license required by this article, who is not a permittee under this section but who is acting as subcontractor for, or otherwise acting under instructions from, as agent for, on behalf of, or in concert with, a permittee under this section. A permit fee shall be required for creating any opening in, or for constructing or repairing any pavement in, the public way. The permit fee for creating a pavement opening and for pavement construction or repair shall be $110.00 for each such opening to be created or each such construction or repair project prior to January 1, 1994. The permit fee for creating an opening, or for construction or repair, in any parkway or unimproved portion of the public way shall be $30.00 for each such opening to be created, or each such construction or repair project conducted, prior to January 1, 1994. All permit fees required under this section shall be increased by five percent per annum beginning January 1, 1994. The fee for any permit issued during the time periods specified in subsection (b) of this section shall be twice the normal fee.

The foregoing fees, however, shall not be required of any person who has been granted the right to use the public way pursuant to a franchise ordinance approved by the city council and which franchise ordinance specifically prohibits the imposition of such fees in addition to the compensation to be received by the city pursuant to the franchise ordinance.

b. No permit shall be issued for opening or repairing any pavement that has been newly constructed or reconstructed after January 1, 1994, for a period of seven years after completion of the construction or reconstruction, unless the commissioner of transportation determines that circumstances warrant opening or repair of such pavement. No permit shall be issued for the opening or repair of pavement that has been resurfaced after January 1, 1994, within three years after completion of the repaving, unless the commissioner of transportation determines that circumstances warrant opening or repair of such pavement. Any person who opens or repairs a newly constructed, reconstructed or resurfaced pavement without a permit within the time period specified herein, or who falsifies information in order to obtain a permit

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL VERSION OF CHAPTER 10-20 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF CHICAGO. SEE CITY COUNCIL JOURNAL OF JANUARY 14, 1997 FOR OFFICIAL VERSION OF CHAPTER 10-20.

for such work, shall be subject to a fine of $500.00 for each day that the opening exists or that the repair is conducted.

c. It shall be a condition of any permit for the opening of, or the construction or repair of, any public way or other public place that the permit applicant shall agree to restore the pavement or other materials in accordance with public way restoration standards. These standards shall be in the form of regulations promulgated by the commissioner of transportation.

d. In addition to the other limitations on the issuance of permits described in this chapter, the commissioner of transportation shall not issue any permit for the opening of, or the construction or repair of, any public way or public place until he or she shall have been fully advised of the time, place and character of such opening, construction or repair and the purpose thereof. The commissioner of transportation may require that applications for permits be accompanied by a plat or pencil tracing or sketch showing the location, character and dimensions of any proposed openings for the installation of new work, or the location and character of any alterations involving changes in the location of pipes, conduits, wires or other conductors, or proof of compliance with the insurance, letter of credit, or other license requirements of this article.

e. Before a permit that contemplates the breaking or other disturbance of a bituminous surface shall be granted to open, or conduct construction or repair on, any public way or public place for any purpose, the permit applicant shall as part of the application either (1) commit to restoring the bituminous surface after completion of the work and restoration of the pavement, or (2) request that the city of Chicago restore the bituminous surface after completion of the work and restoration of the pavement. If the applicant selects option (2), the commissioner of transportation shall assess the applicant a restoration fee sufficient to cover the city of Chicago’s cost to restore the bituminous surface. This restoration fee shall be calculated on a per-square-yard basis, based on current construction costs established through average bid prices in the city of Chicago. In the event that the city of Chicago’s cost to restore the bituminous surface is less than the restoration fee, the amount of the surplus shall be returned to the permittee.

f. In order for a permit to be issued, the director of revenue shall collect the amount of both the permit fee and any applicable restoration fee. Where the opening, construction or repair is required to perform underground work to facilitate a city or state project or the repair of damage caused by city forces, the payment of permit fees shall be waived.

g. The permit specified in this section shall not be required for the placement, planting, cultivation, maintenance or removal of any tree, shrub, flower, sod or other plant material in the public way

10-20-155 Pavement restoration.

a. All work done under authority of the permit required by this article shall be inspected by a field service specialist designated by the commissioner of transportation.

b. Immediately after the completion of the work done pursuant to the permit, the permittee shall forthwith restore any pavement or other materials displaced by reason of the work, and shall restore the surface of any public way or other public place which may be opened or otherwise disturbed; provided, however, that a permittee shall only be obliged to restore a bituminous surface if the permittee has not remitted to the director of revenue the restoration fee assessed pursuant to this article. All of this work shall be done to the satisfaction of the

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL VERSION OF CHAPTER 10-20 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF CHICAGO. SEE CITY COUNCIL JOURNAL OF JANUARY 14, 1997 FOR OFFICIAL VERSION OF CHAPTER 10-20.

commissioner of transportation, in accordance with public way restoration standards. These standards shall be in the form of regulations promulgated by the commissioner of transportation.

c. Any permittee who fails to restore the pavement or other materials and the non-bituminous surface and, if applicable, the bituminous surface, of any public way or other public place, as required in subsection (b), by the time established by the commissioner of transportation shall be subject to a fine of $500.00 for each day that such failure continues, and shall also be liable to the city of Chicago for any costs incurred by the city in arranging for or carrying out any such restoration upon expiration of the relevant deadline. The city of Chicago shall have the right, but not the obligation, to arrange for or carry out any such restoration upon expiration of the relevant deadline, and any action taken by the city of Chicago in arranging for or carrying out any such restoration pursuant to this section or other applicable provision of this chapter shall not relieve a permittee of liability for, or diminish a permittee’s liability for, any condition created by, or created as a result of the acts or omissions of, the permittee.

d. The insurance and letter of credit protections of this article shall apply to any amounts levied or incurred by the city of Chicago pursuant to this section.

10-20-160 Tearing up public ways.

Unless a specific penalty is otherwise provided, any person who shall injure or tear up any pavement, side or crosswalk, or any part thereof, dig any hole, ditch or drain in, or dig or remove any sod, stone, earth, sand or gravel from any public way or public ground in the city without having first obtained the necessary permit from the commissioner of transportation, or who violates the terms or conditions of a permit for such work, shall be subject to a penalty for each offense of not less than $200.00 nor more than $500.00.

10-20-165 Definitions.

For purposes of this article, the following definitions shall apply:

A “person” or “persons” who apply for or hold the public way work license or the public way work permit required by this article shall include individuals, sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited partnerships, firms, limited liability companies and corporations.

The term “restore” shall mean restoration or replacement of the pavement, components of pavement, or other materials to at least the condition that the pavement, components of pavement, or other materials were in before the work contemplated by this article was commenced.

A “substantial owner” means any person or entity holding a twenty-five percent (25%) or greater ownership interest in any firm, partnership, limited partnership, corporation or limited liability company; provided, however, that where no person or entity holds such an ownership interest, substantial owner shall mean each of the four persons or entities with the largest ownership interests; provided further, that with regard to an individual or sole proprietorship, substantial owner means that individual or sole proprietorship.

ARTICLE II. UNDERGROUND TRANSMITTING DEVICES

by trees or other underground work, between the lot and curb lines, is less than four feet in width.

e. The prompt and complete compliance on the part of the various transportation and street railway companies with the obligations and conditions imposed upon such several companies by the terms of the ordinances under and by virtue of which each of them claims the right of operating cars within the city, and nothing herein contained shall be construed as a waiver, restriction or granting of any right or as applying to the right-of-way of such several companies, as defined in said ordinances, so long as each right-of-way is paved, maintained and kept in good repair, as in said ordinances provided.

A standard form of construction shall be adopted and approved by the commissioner of transportation and such standard construction shall be followed wherever conditions will permit.

10-20-220 Materials and cost of conduit system.

Conduits shall be constructed of some approved form of clay sections which will admit of varying the number of ducts as conditions may require and maintain a uniform construction on all streets.

sketch showing the proposed location and dimensions of such driveway, the location of adjacent streets and alleys, and any other driveways connected with the property. An application shall be approved and a permit issued only upon a determination of the director of revenue, upon consultation with the following departments, that the driveway will not (1) create undue safety hazards in the use of the street, parkway or sidewalk by vehicular or pedestrian traffic, nor (2) impede the safe and efficient flow of traffic upon the streets and sidewalks adjoining the property for which the driveway is proposed, and upon his or her determination that the existing and proposed use of the property to be connected by said driveway is in all respects in conformity with existing traffic, zoning, and building ordinances. The director of revenue shall refer applications (1) to the department of transportation for investigation and report on the traffic aspects incident to such determination, (2) to the zoning administrator for review and advice as to the zoning and building aspects incident to such determination, (3) to the commissioner of sewers for review and advice as to the drainage structure, manhole and sewer aspects incident to such determination, (4) to the bureau of electricity in the department of streets and sanitation for review and advice with regard to the underground equipment and street lighting aspects incident to such determination, and (5) to the commissioner of water for review and advice with regard to the hydrant and water control valve aspects incident to such determination.

10-20-520 Sidewalk line.

All walks, except full-width walks, shall be laid on a line one foot from the parallel with the lot line, unless otherwise ordered by special ordinance; provided however, that no ordinance for special sidewalk line shall be passed that does not cause uniform alignment of sidewalks on both sides of the street for a distance of not less than 1,200 lineal feet; provided, further, that where a definite sidewalk line is established in a block by cement sidewalks laid prior to the twenty-third day of March, 1904, such line established by the walks already laid shall be followed for the remainder of the block.

Every day that he shall fail to remove or reconstruct any sidewalk which does not conform to established grade after notice by the commissioner of transportation shall constitute a separate offense.

All sidewalks heretofore constructed that do not conform to the grade established by ordinance shall be relaid to the proper grade by the owner of the abutting property. Each day he shall fail to relay or reconstruct such sidewalk after notice by the commissioner of transportation shall constitute a separate offense.

No part or portion of any sidewalk, where the grade has been established, shall be laid or relaid at any different grade or any other level than the adjacent portions of such sidewalk, except as provided in the provisions of this chapter relating to driveways and sidewalk ramps. The person violating this provision shall alter said sidewalk so as to make the same conform to the established grade, and in case he neglects and refuses so to do within a reasonable time it shall be lawful for the department of transportation to alter the same, and the cost and expense of the same shall be paid by such owner and may be recovered from him in an action in the name of the city.
