including applicable interest charges, must be repaid in full prior to or
concurrent with any such sale, conveyance or transfer. The repayment in
full of the entire amount of any unpaid balance on the Loan and applicable
interest charges prior to or concurrent with any sale, conveyance or transfer
shall be a condition to the issuance of a City transfer stamp.
vii. The Applicant has the right to make payments of principal of the Loan at any
time before they are due. The Applicant may make a full prepayment or
partial prepayments without paying a prepayment charge. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no partial repayments by the
applicant of the Loan shall constitute or be construed as a waiver by the City
of the right to receive the full repayment of the Loan in the amount of twenty-
one thousand five hundred sixty-two dollars and fifty cents ($21,562.50), plus
any applicable interest charges.
viii. In addition to any other remedies available to the City, if the Applicant does
not pay the full amount of the Loan, including applicable interest charges,
by the Maturity Date, or if the Applicant does not make a Loan Installment
by the date on which it is due, the Applicant will be in default. If the
Applicant is in default, the City may send a written notice telling the
Applicant that if they do not pay the overdue amount by a certain date, the
City may require the Applicant to immediately pay the full amount of the
principal of the Loan which has not been paid and all interest that the
Applicant owes on that amount. That date must be at least thirty (30) days
after the date on which the notice is mailed to the Applicant or delivered by
other means. If the City has required the Applicant to pay immediately in
full the Loan as described in this subparagraph, the City will have the right
to be paid back by the Applicant for all its costs and expenses in enforcing
this Agreement to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Those
expenses shall include, but not be limited to, reasonable attorney's fees.
ix. In addition to any other remedies available to the City, the Applicant agrees
that in the event that the Loan is not repaid in accordance with the
5
provisions set forth in this Agreement, the City may commence legal action
against the Applicant to collect the Loan and/or to enforce its lien on the
Subject Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The
Applicant agrees that the City shall also be entitled to collect from the
Applicant its attorney's fees and costs for commencing any such legal
action.
X. In addition to any other remedies available to the City, the Applicant agrees
that the Applicant's failure to pay the full amount of the Loan and any
applicable interest charges by the Maturity Date, or the Applicant's failure
to make a Loan Installment by the date on which it is due, shall constitute
grounds to shut-off and/or disconnect the Applicant's water and sewer
service, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Chapter 14.04 and
Chapter 14.08 of the Elgin Municipal Code.
xi. The provisions of these paragraphs 8.b.i through 8.b.xi, inclusive, shall

provisions of this Agreement, the available remedies to the City shall include, but not be
limited to, the immediate termination of this Agreement and the forfeiture by the
Applicant of any Program Funds. In the event of such termination and forfeiture, the
Applicant shall repay to City any Program Funds paid by the City to the Applicant, or to
a contractor on the Applicant's behalf, upon thirty (30) days written demand. It is
expressly agreed that the nonpayment or failure to make timely payment of a Loan
Installment shall constitute a breach of this Agreement. In addition, the forfeiture and/or
repayment of such funds by the Applicant shall not be construed so as to constitute a
waiver or relinquishment of any other rights which may be available to City at law or
equity. This provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and shall not be
construed as a limitation on any other of the City's rights under law or equity.

Mr. Don Rage
Garden Quarter I Townhome Association
1450 Plymouth Court,
Elgin, Illinois 60123
Re: Tyler Creek Streambank Stabilization—Garden Quarter I Townhome Association, Elgin, Illinois
Dear Mr. Rage, .
Per your request, BioTechnical Erosion Control Ltd. (BECL) is pleased to submit this amended contract for
the Garden Quarter Townhome Association (GQTA) stream frontage, under which BECL will supply the
materials, equipment, and labor necessary to install the above referenced project in compliance with the
approved project plan set, as prepared by Hey & Associates (dated December 4h, 2015), as well as in
compliance with the associated regulatory permits.
However, due to the fact that the adjoining landowner, Garden Quarters Apartments (GQA), has declined to
participate in what was originally supposed to be a joint GCTA / GQA project, BECL will not be able to
implement task 4 5 as shown below. Due to the steep, wooded topography on the GQTA side of the Tyler
Creek above that work area, the only feasible, cost-effective work access to this stream segment would have
been from the GQA side of the stream, which is no longer possible. In addition, as there was an "economy
of scale" built into the original April 30th, 2016 proposals to GQTA and GQA, the withdrawal of GQA from
the project requires BEC to increase the originally proposed mobilization cost (Task 4 1)by$2,500.
Proposed Budl4et:
BECL proposes to conduct the stated tasks for the lump-sum, not-to-exceed cost of$ 43,125, based on
an approximate cost breakdown presented below:

solely intended to provide reasonable protection from existing streambank erosion problems. No
warranty is provided or implied as to the future structural stability of the treated streambanks or their

those tasks are fully completed.
6. Those tasks identified with "unit price" unit costs (Tasks 3, 4, & 6) will be billed monthly based on the
approximate proportion of the task/quantity completed each month.
7. BECL invoices shall be submitted directly to Kyla Jacobsen of the City of Elgin for processing and
payment, with a duplicate of each invoice submitted to the City of Elgin also provided concurrently to
designated representative of the Garden Quarter I Townhome Association.
