The sludge transfer main will run along Route 20 from Control Box No. 1 to Control Box No. 2. Attached Figure 1 shows the location of the proposed sludge main. The parties will also enter into an easement for a sanitary sewer and temporary construction which contains an exhibit depicting the location of the easements (the "Easement Agreement"). 3.

The City will utilize this contractor to replace the trees removed within the project site. Upon completion of tree replacement work, the City will submit an invoice to the District for reimbursement. Under this Agreement, the District has provided a not-to-exceed budget of$10,000.00, for the replacement of trees impacted by the Project construction operations. 2 4. Construction Access and Staging Areas. City agrees to permit the District to use the eastern access road extending from the Elgin Sports Complex out to State Street(Route 31)for construction ingress and egress(the"Eastern Access").

Both Contractor's Staging Areas are needed for the Project. Further, District agrees not to use, and that its contractors shall not use, the Elgin Sports Complex access road lying West of the Westerly terminus of the subject sanitary sewer easement and temporary construction easement. Notwithstanding anything the contrary in this Agreement, it is agreed and understood that the City shall at all times continue to have full and unrestricted access to all of the City's property and the facilities located thereon whether during construction activities by FRWRD in the Easement Premises, the temporary construction easement premises and the Previous Easement Premises, or during any subsequent maintenance or repair in the Easement Premises and the Previous Easement Premises.

No Waiver. Failure of the City or the District to insist upon strict and punctual performance of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not be construed to constitute a waiver of, or estoppel against, asserting the rights to require such performance. Neither shall a waiver nor an estoppel in one instance constitute a waiver or an estoppel with respect to a later default, whether similar or dissimilar in nature. 9. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is determined by a court to be in conflict with statute or constitution or to be unlawful for any reason,the parties intend that the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be enforced to the greatest extent provided by law. 10.
