WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, Wyndham is the owner of the territory comprising what has been designated as Units 1, 2, and 4 in the Tall Oaks Subdivision in the City of Elgin (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Subject Property"); and WHEREAS, Wyndham has commenced certain development activities in relation to the Subject Property; and WHEREAS, Wyndham has requested that the City accept certain public improvements constructed in the Subject Property including the public streets, street lighting and the public utilities; and WHEREAS, the parties have identified other matters in issue between them in regard to the Subject Property; and WHEREAS, Wyndham may not be the builder of dwelling units in the Subject Property, but typically sells, transfers, and assigns the right to build homes, and the concurrent obligations related to home building, to another entity or entities; and WHEREAS, the City has certain concerns about accepting the streets in an area where so few dwelling units have actually been constructed, and where the future home builder will have the obligation of constructing sidewalk and of planting parkway trees; and WHEREAS, the parties have discussed the concerns of the City, and the matters in issue between them, and have come to certain understandings regarding same, and desire to reduce said understandings to writing to memorialize their agreement regarding them. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the City shall by appropriate Resolution of the City Council accept the public streets, street lighting, street signage, storm sewers, water main, and sanitary sewers, and related appurtenances (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Public Improvements") in the Subject Property within 60 days of (1) Wyndham having completed installation of the final surface course on the streets in the Subject Property to the satisfaction of the City's Engineer; (2) Wyndham having completed and corrected all outstanding punch list items for the Public Improvements in Units 1, 2 and 3 to the satisfaction of the City's Engineer; (3) Wyndham having posted the Letters of Credit specified in paragraph 4 hereof; and (4) Wyndham having provided to the City an easement for the public improvements located in Unit 3 which serve or benefit Units 1, 2 or 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else to the contrary in this agreement, the City's acceptance of such Public Improvements shall not include acceptance of sidewalks or required parkway improvements including trees, mulch, black dirt, and sod (collectively the "Parkway Improvements"). For the purpose of clarification, it is also agreed and understood that the detention facilities and any bike paths within the Subject Property are private improvements and will not be accepted by the City. 2. Upon said acceptance, but subject to the provisions of Paragraph 4 below, the City shall release the Letters of Credit previously posted by Wyndham to secure satisfactory completion of such Public Improvements in the Subject Property. 3. Despite said acceptance, and as an express condition thereof, Wyndham shall have the following obligations: a. Wyndham shall be responsible to repair any damage caused to said Public Improvements, including but not limited to the pavement and curbs and gutters, caused by any and all persons involved in, or resulting from, construction of dwelling units on any of the lots in the Subject Property (hereinafter "Construction Damage") up to and including such time as seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the dwellings to be constructed in each unit of subdivision (i.e., Units 1, 2 or 4) have been issued temporary or permanent occupancy permits. The repair of any Construction Damage shall be limited to the areas reasonably requiring such repair as determined by the City's Engineer and shall be performed in a manner consistent with, and so as to blend into the original, non-damaged Public Improvements as determined by the City's Engineer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Construction Damage caused by City vehicles or individuals not involved with the construction of dwelling units within the Subject Property shall not be considered to be Construction Damage and shall not be the responsibility of Wyndham to repair. There shall exist a rebuttable presumption that any damage to the Public Improvements shall be considered to be Construction Damage and shall be the responsibility of Wyndham to repair at its cost. In the event Wyndham wishes to contend that certain damage to the Public Improvements is not Construction Damage and not the responsibility of Wyndham to repair, Wyndham shall submit documentation of same to the City Engineer for the City Engineer's consideration. The determination of whether any damage to the Public Improvements constitutes Construction Damage shall be made by the City Engineer which determination shall be binding. At such time 75% of the dwellings to be constructed in Unit 1, 2 or 4 of the subdivision have been issued temporary or permanent occupancy permits, Wyndham shall provide the City Engineer written notice thereof. The City shall then cause the Public Improvements within the applicable unit of subdivision to be inspected and the City shall create a punch list of Construction Damage to the Public Improvements to be repaired by Wyndham at its cost. Wyndham shall repair any Construction Damage identified in such punch list by the City as soon as is reasonably practicable. 2 b. If Wyndham fails to make such repairs to the Public Improvements suffering Construction Damage to the satisfaction of the City's Engineer and to pay the repair costs associated therewith, then the City shall have the right to perform such repairs and to recover the cost thereof from Wyndham. Additionally, if Wyndham fails to make such repairs to the Public Improvements suffering Construction Damage to the satisfaction of the City's Engineer and to pay the costs associated therewith, the City shall have the right to withhold further permits or other approvals for the Subject Property including, but not limited to, building permits and/or occupancy permits until such time as Wyndham makes the repairs to the Public Improvements.

Wyndham shall also be responsible for the installation of the planting and live growth of parkway trees, together with appropriate Parkway Improvements on the Subject Property as required by the terms and provisions of the City Code and/or the Annexation Agreement pertaining to the Tall Oaks as originally enacted and thereafter amended, or shall cause the installation of the Parkway Improvements to be completed by others.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else to the contrary in this agreement, upon the occurrence of 90% or more of the dwelling units to be constructed within a unit of subdivision on the Subject Property having been issued temporary or permanent occupancy permits, Wyndham shall complete the installation of all required sidewalks in such unit of subdivision. Additionally, and notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else to the contrary in this agreement, upon the occurrence of the 10th anniversary of this Agreement and in the event any required sidewalks have not yet been installed in the Subject Property, Wyndham shall complete the installation of all required sidewalks in the Subject Property. 4. a.

The portion of each Letter of Credit for the sidewalk and Parkway Improvements shall remain in effect until such sidewalks and Parkway Improvements have been completed and have been accepted by the City.

Developer is requesting an agreement with the City whereby the City would accept the public improvements despite the typical policy of not accepting public streets for maintenance until such time as 75% of the developable lots in a subdivision have been developed.

Within 60 days of(1) Developer having completed installation of the final surface course on the streets in the subject property to the satisfaction of the City's Engineer; (2) Developer having completed and corrected all outstanding punch list items for the public improvements in Units 1, 2 and 3 to the satisfaction of the City's Engineer; (3) Developer having posted the letters of credit specified in Section 4 of the agreement; and (4) the Developer having provided to the City an easement for the public improvements located in Unit 3, which serves Units 1, 2 or 4, the City would accept the public improvements within Units 1, 2 and 4 but not including sidewalks or required parkway improvements.
