WHEREAS, the TERRITORY has not been annexed to any municipality; and,
WHEREAS, the TERRITORY constitutes an area that is contiguous to and may be annexed to
the VILLAGE, as provided under the Illinois Municipal Code, 65 ILCS 5/7 -1 -1, et. seq.; and,
WHEREAS, the OWNER/DEVELOPER and VILLAGE agree that they will be bound by the
terms of this Annexation Agreement; and,
WHEREAS, the VILLAGE would extend its zoning, building, health and other municipal
regulations and ordinances over the TERRITORY, thereby protecting the VILLAGE from
possible undesirable or inharmonious use and development of unincorporated areas surrounding
the VILLAGE; and,
WHEREAS, the new boundaries of the VILLAGE OF LEMONT, resulting from this
Annexation shall extend to the far side of every highway and shall include all of every highway
not already annexed; and,
WHEREAS, the parties desire, pursuant to Chapter 65, Article 5, Section 11 -15.1 of the Illinois
Municipal Code, to enter into an Agreement with respect to Annexation of the TERRITORY and
various other matters; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the Statute, the corporate authority of said VILLAGE
has duly fixed a time for and held a hearing upon the Annexation Agreement and has given
notice of said hearing; and,
WHEREAS, the corporate authority of the VILLAGE has considered the Annexation of the
TERRITORY described in the Petition and has determined that the best interest of the VILLAGE
will be met if the TERRITORY is annexed to the VILLAGE and developed in accordance with
the provisions of the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter
contained, the parties agree as follows:
I
ANNEXATION
1. Subject to the provisions of Chapter 65, Article 5 Section 7 of the Illinois Municipal
Code, the parties hereto respectively agree to do all things necessary or appropriate to cause the
TERRITORY to be validly annexed to the VILLAGE as promptly as possible after the execution
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Agreement, the
parties hereto further acknowledge that upon annexation, the OWNER/DEVELOPER shall not
have any obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, all undertakings hereunder being
undertakings and obligations solely of OWNER/DEVELOPER.
2. The Plat of Annexation of said TERRITORY is attached hereto as Exhibit "B ". Said Plat

of annexation attached as Exhibit "B" shall be classified under the existing Zoning Ordinance
No. 0- 25 -99, as amended, as R -4 Single Family Residence District. Prior to the date of this
Agreement, such public hearings as are necessary to enable the VILLAGE lawfully to grant said
zoning classification as to the TERRITORY have been conducted upon proper notice, and no
further action need be taken by the OWNER/DEVELOPER to cause the TERRITORY to be
rezoned as an R -4 District once the parcel is annexed to the VILLAGE. The Village Zoning
Board of Appeals ( "ZBA ") conducted public hearings as necessary to lawfully recommend said
Zoning classification on April 7, 2003; May 5, 2003; and May 20, 2003.
2. Upon annexation of the TERRITORY, the VILLAGE shall adopt a resolution pursuant to
Section III of the VILLAGE'S Subdivision Regulations Ordinance No. 456, as amended,

DEVELOPMENT CODES AND ORDINANCES AND GENERAL MATTERS.
The development of the TERRITORY annexed, and of each lot respectively encompassed
by this Agreement shall be in accordance with the existing building, zoning, subdivision, storm
water retention and other developmental codes and ordinances of the VILLAGE as they exist on
the date each respective permit for development is issued. Planning and engineering designs and
standards, and road construction and dedication of public improvements, shall be in accordance
with the statutes and regulations of other governmental agencies having jurisdiction thereof if
such standards are more stringent than those of the VILLAGE of Lemont at such time.
No occupancy permit shall be issued for any for any building prior to the completion of the
required public improvements, including operating street lights and street signs, except for the
final surface course of the streets. Provided, however, the construction and installation of the
public improvements to be done by OWNER/DEVELOPER may be commenced at any time
after OWNER/DEVELOPER has delivered to VILLAGE an irrevocable letter of credit, in a form
satisfactory to, and from a bank or other financial institution approved by, the VILLAGE in the
amount of one - hundred fifteen percent (115 %) of the OWNER/DEVELOPER Engineer's
estimate of the probable cost of construction and installation of all such public improvements as
approved by the VILLAGE Engineer, including all required lighting, streets and street lights,
sidewalks, landscaping, street trees, sewer and water lines and storm water management
facilities, except to the extent such facilities are to remain private, and after approval of a site
development permit by the VILLAGE. At no time shall the Letter of Credit funds be utilized by
the OWNER/DEVELOPER for the future payment of contractors, materials, salaries and wages
and the like. The VILLAGE makes no guarantees regarding the timely reduction of said Letter of
Credit and therefore should not be used for time - sensitive payment purposes. The VILLAGE
Engineer may, in his/her discretion, recommend the amount of said letter of credit to be reduced,
from time to time, as major public improvements are completed, upon approval of the VILLAGE
Board.
The OWNER/DEVELOPER shall not be entitled to obtain any building permits, nor sign
permits and shall not be entitled to construct any model units, sales and/or rental offices or any
other appurtenant facilities unless and until the proper letter of credit or cash deposit has been
made to the VILLAGE in accordance with the Subdivision Regulations of the VILLAGE. The
letter of credit or cash deposit shall specifically include an amount to cover the cost of street trees
and sidewalks as required by the Subdivision Regulations and this Agreement.
All public improvements shall be constructed and initiated within two (2) years from the
date of approval of the Plat of Subdivision; however, if the completion date falls after September
30th, the date shall be the following May 30th. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, no construction of public improvements have been approved, the agreement for
construction of the public improvements as herein provided has been executed, the minimum
security has been provided, the requirements of Ordinance No. 456, as amended, have been met,
and until documentation, including a copy of the Permit if applicable, or evidence is received by
-9-
the VILLAGE that OWNER/DEVELOPER is not violating a wetland regulation or a regulation
relating to waters of the United States. Further, no earthwork shall be done in any area
tentatively identified as wetlands until an appropriate permit or permission has been obtained and
such permit or permission is shown to the VILLAGE. The Plat of Subdivision shall contain such
restrictive covenants, public utility and easement provisions as are or were required by the
President and Board of Trustees as a condition to approval of the Plat of Subdivision.
OWNER/DEVELOPER, at OWNER/DEVELOPER'S own cost, agrees to provide the
VILLAGE "as built ", engineering plans and specifications upon substantial completion of the
public improvements or at the request of the VILLAGE Engineer but in no event later than the
time required by Ordinance No.456, as amended.
It is agreed that all of the public improvements contemplated herein shall upon acceptance
thereof by the VILLAGE, become the property of VILLAGE and be integrated with the
municipal facilities now in existence or hereinafter constructed and VILLAGE thereafter agrees
to maintain said public improvements. Acceptance of said public improvements shall be by
resolution of the President and Board of Trustees only after the VILLAGE Engineer or
VILLAGE Engineer Consultant has issued certified that the improvements have been constructed
in accordance with approved Engineering Plans and Specifications. OWNER/DEVELOPER
agrees to convey by appropriate instrument and VILLAGE agrees to promptly accept, subject to
terms hereof, the public improvements constructed in accordance with the Approved Engineering
Plans and Specifications.
VII
APPROVAL OF PLANS
The VILLAGE agrees to expeditiously take action to approve or disapprove all plats, plans
and engineering submitted to VILLAGE by OWNER/DEVELOPER. If the VILLAGE shall
determine that any such submission is not in substantial accordance with this Agreement and
applicable ordinances, the VILLAGE shall promptly notify OWNER/DEVELOPER in writing of
the specific objection to any such submission so that OWNER/DEVELOPER can make any
required corrections or revisions.
VIII
NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS
The VILLAGE will issue no stop orders directing work stoppage on building or parts of the
project without giving notice of the Section of the Code or this Agreement allegedly violated by
OWNER/DEVELOPER, so the OWNER/DEVELOPER may forthwith proceed to correct such
violations as may exist. Moreover, the OWNER/DEVELOPER shall have an opportunity to
correct possible violations. This paragraph shall not restrain the Building Official from issuing a
stop work order in any case where he considers a continuation of the work to constitute a threat
-.10-
to the health or safety of the public or personnel employee on or near the site. VILLAGE shall
provide OWNER/DEVELOPER notice as required by Statute of any matter, such as public
hearing, proposed building code changes and policy changes or other matters which may affect
the TERRITORY of development of it under this Agreement.
IX
MAINTENANCE GUARANTEE
At the time or times of acceptance by VILLAGE of the installation of any part, component
or all of any public improvement in accordance with this Section, or any other section of the
Agreement, OWNER/DEVELOPER shall deposit with the VILLAGE a bank letter of credit or
cash escrow maintenance guarantee in the amount of ten percent (10 %) of the original estimate
of probable cost of the installation of the public improvement accepted by VILLAGE. This
guarantee shall be deposited with the VILLAGE and shall be held by the VILLAGE for a period
of two (2) years after completion and acceptance of all improvements. In the event of a defect in
material and/or workmanship within said period, then said Bond shall not be returned until
correction of said defect and acceptance by VILLAGE of said corrections.

1. Within five (5) days after request by OWNER/DEVELOPER for a final inspection of a
building within the TERRITORY, the VILLAGE shall issue a final certificate of occupancy for
such building or issue a letter of denial of a certificate of occupancy identifying the correction
necessary as a condition of a certificate of occupancy and specifying the section of the Building
Code relied on by the VILLAGE in its request for correction.
2. The VILLAGE, in accordance with the requirements and customary practice of the
VILLAGE Building Department, will grant provisional permits for structures between November
1st and June 1st if weather prevents the OWNER/DEVELOPER from completing grading,
landscaping and exterior concrete or asphalt work for any such structure (it being understood that
if other work remains to be done, no occupancy permit, provisional or otherwise, will be issued).
As a condition of the issuance of any such provisional occupancy permit, the
OWNER/DEVELOPER shall provide the VILLAGE with a timetable (acceptable to the
VILLAGE) for completion of the outstanding work, which timetable shall be deemed a part of
the occupancy permit.

REIMBURSEMENT OF VILLAGE FOR LEGAL AND OTHER FEES AND EXPENSES
1. To Effective Date of Agreement. The OWNER/DEVELOPER, concurrently with
annexation and zoning of the property or so much thereof as required, shall reimburse the Village
for the following expenses incurred in the preparation and review of this Agreement, and any
ordinances, letters of credits, plats, easements or other documents relating to the Territory:
a. the costs incurred by the Village for engineering or planning services;
b. all attorney's fees incurred by the Village; and
c. miscellaneous Village expenses, such as legal publication costs, recording fees and
copying expenses.
2. From and After Effective Date of Agreement. Except as provided in the paragraph
immediately following this paragraph, upon demand by Village made by and through its
President, OWNER/DEVELOPER from time to time shall promptly reimburse Village, for all
enumerated reasonable expenses and costs incurred by VILLAGE in the administration of the
Agreement, including and limited to engineering fees, attorneys' fees and out of pocket expenses
involving various and sundry matters such as, but not limited to, preparation and publication, if
any, of all notices, resolutions, ordinances and other documents required hereunder, and the
negotiation and preparation of letters of credit and escrow agreements to be entered into as
security for the completion of land improvements.
-13-
Such costs and expenses incurred by the VILLAGE in the administration of the
Agreement shall be evidence to the OWNER/DEVELOPER upon its request, by a sworn
statement of the Village; and such costs and expenses may be further confirmed by the
OWNER/DEVELOPER at its option from additional documents relevant to determining such
costs and expenses as designated from time to time by the OWNER/DEVELOPER.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, OWNER/DEVELOPER shall in
no event be required to reimburse VILLAGE or pay for any expenses or costs of VILLAGE as
aforesaid more than once, whether such are reimbursed or paid through special assessment
proceedings, through fees established by VILLAGE ordinances, or otherwise.
In the event that any third party or parties institute any legal proceedings against the
OWNER/DEVELOPER and/or the VILLAGE, which relate to the terms of this Agreement, then,
in that event, the OWNER/DEVELOPER, upon written notice from VILLAGE, shall assume,
fully and vigorously, the entire defense of such lawsuit and the expenses of whatever nature
relating thereto; provided, however:
A. OWNER/DEVELOPER shall not make any settlement or compromise of the
lawsuit, or fail to pursue any available avenue of appeal of any adverse judgment, without the
approval of the VILLAGE, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
B. If the VILLAGE, in its sole discretion, determines there is or may be a conflict of
interest between VILLAGE and OWNER/DEVELOPER on an issue of importance to the
VILLAGE, having a potentially substantial adverse affect on the VILLAGE, then the VILLAGE
shall have the option of being represented by its own legal counsel. In the event the VILLAGE
exercises such option, then OWNER/DEVELOPER shall reimburse the VILLAGE from time to
time on written demand from the President of the VILLAGE and notice of the amount due for
any expenses, including but not limited to court costs, reasonable attorney's fees and witnesses'
fees, and other expenses of litigation incurred by the VILLAGE in connection therewith. The
obligation of OWNER/DEVELOPER to reimburse VILLAGE under the terms of this
subparagraph 2 shall terminate if no such legal proceedings are brought within one (1) year from
the date of the annexation of the TERRITORY and, further, such obligation of reimbursement
shall not apply if such legal proceedings are based upon alleged errors, omissions or unlawful
conduct of VILLAGE and not the OWNER/DEVELOPER.
In the event the VILLAGE institutes legal proceedings against OWNER/DEVELOPER
for violation of this Agreement, and secured a judgement in its favor, the court having
jurisdiction thereof shall determine and include in its judgement all expenses of such legal
proceedings incurred by VILLAGE, including but not limited to the court costs and reasonable
attorney's fees, witnesses' fees, etc., incurred by the VILLAGE in connection therewith.
OWNER/DEVELOPER may, in its sole discretion, appeal any such judgment rendered in favor
of the VILLAGE against OWNER/DEVELOPER.
