VACANT LAND PURCHASE AND SALE CONTRACT 

1. This Vacant Land Purchase and Sale Contract (“Contract”) is made by and between Kathryn E. Graves, as Trustee of the Kathryn E.
Graves Revocable Trust (the “Buyer”) and Fox River Bluffs, L.L.C., an Illinois limited liability company (“Seller) (collectively “Parties”) with respect to the purchase and sale of the real estate and improvements, if any,
located along Fox Road in Kendall County, Illinois (“Property”). 
 Property P.I.N. #: 01-36-400-004, 04-01-200-003 and
01-36-300-003; Acreage: 299.0255 acres.  
 2. Purchase Price. The Purchase price for the Property is Three
Million Eight Hundred Eighty Seven Thousand Three Hundred Thirty One And 50/100 Dollars ($3,887,331.50) [computed at Thirteen Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($13,000.00) per gross surveyed acre on the entire parcel] (“Purchase
Price”). The Purchase Price includes the following personal property: None (“Personal Property”). Determination of acreage must be made on a current basis as to what, if any ownership rights, Seller has in the
island in the Fox River, and whether as disclosed by survey the land area still equals the acreage in the pre-existing 1991 survey. The Contract purchase price will be adjusted on the basis of actual gross acreage shown by current survey. 

3. Earnest Money: Within five (5) business days of Seller’s written acceptance of this Contract, and together with a
Chicago Title Insurance Strict Join Escrow Agreement being signed by the Seller and Buyer, Buyer shall deposit with Chicago title Insurance Company (“Escrowee”), initial earnest money in the amount of $50,000.00, in the form
of cash (“Earnest Money”). The initial Earnest Money shall be returned and this Contract shall be of no force or effect if this Contract is not accepted by Purchaser on or before February 7, 2014. 

4. Disposition of Earnest Money. In the event of default by Buyer, the Earnest Money, less expenses and commission of the listing
broker, shall be paid to Seller. If Seller defaults, the Earnest Money, at the option of Buyer, shall be refunded to Buyer, but such refunding shall not release Seller from the obligations of this Contract. In the event of any default, Escrowee
shall give written notice to Seller and Buyer indicating Escrowee’s intended disposition of the Earnest Money and request Seller’s and Buyer’s written consent to the Escrowee’s intended disposition of the Earnest Money within 30
days after the notice. However, Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that if Escrowee is a licensed real estate broker, Escrowee may not distribute the Earnest Money without the joint written direction of Seller and Buyer or their authorized
agents. If Escrowee is not a licensed real estate broker, Seller and Buyer agree that if neither Party objects, in writing, to the proposed disposition of the Earnest Money within 30 days after the date of the notice, then Escrowee shall proceed to
disperse the Earnest Money as previously noticed by Escrowee. If either Seller or Buyer objects to the intended disposition within the 30 day period, or if Escrowee is a licensed real estate broker and does not receive the joint written direction of
Seller and Buyer authorizing distribution of the Earnest Money, then the Escrowee may deposit the Earnest Money with the Clerk of the Circuit Court by the filing of an action in the nature of an Interpleader. Escrowee may be reimbursed from the
Earnest Money for all costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, related to the filing of the Interpleader and the Parties indemnify and hold Escrowee harmless from any and all claims and demands, including the payment of reasonable
attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses arising out of those claims and demands. 
 Earnest Money shall be deposited and held in a Strict
Joint Money Escrow with Chicago Title Insurance pending closing in this matter. 
 5. Possession. Seller agrees to surrender
possession of the Property on or before the Closing Date (as defined in Paragraph 6 below). Seller warrants that there is no outstanding Farm Lease on the subject real property for the 2014 crop season and will present to Purchaser prior to closing,
either a written termination notice for any 2013 farm tenancy rights, or a surrender of those 2013 farm tenancy rights. 
 6.

any notice of tax assessment change since issuance of the 2012 payable in 2013 bill. If Seller has received notice of an assessment change or the same is disclosed on the public records of the Kendall County Assessor, real estate taxes shall be
prorated at 100% of the total new assessment times the existing tax rate on the 2012 payable in 2013 real estate tax bill.
