Each invoice shall set forth a detailed description of the services rendered to the City, the time spent rendering each service, and the fees for each service rendered. To the extent the description of service is protected by the attorney-client privilege, those service entries so protected may be redacted from the invoice supplied to ALERG. Payment by the City of the itemized Consultants’ invoices may be made no less than sixteen (16) days after ALERG’s receipt of the invoice which meets the foregoing criteria unless within the fifteen (15) days from ALERG’s receipt of the invoice it notifies the City of its objection to the invoice. In the event of an objection by ALERG, the Parties shall meet and confer and make best efforts to resolve the objection. In the event the Parties are unable to resolve the objection, either Party may terminate this Amendment by written notice to the other Party and neither Party shall have any further liability to the other Party under this Amendment. 6. Agreement for Reimbursements. a. This Amendment is an interim agreement in contemplation by the Parties of the execution of a final Development Agreement, adoption of appropriate zoning regulations for the Project, and approval of a financial development incentive of some type for the Project (such as tax increment financing –"TIF)). If the Project does not move forward for any reason whatsoever, except for the reason that the City, in its sole discretion, decides not to go forward with the Project approvals, ALERG shall remain obligated to pay all City Expenses incurred to the date of such decision not to go forward, and the City shall be entitled to retain all amounts for City Expenses that were obligated to be reimbursed by ALERG pursuant to this Amendment. b. In the event there is TIF approved for the Project, ALERG shall be reimbursed from the TIF proceeds for all reimbursement payments to the City for the City Expenses and such reimbursement from the TIF proceeds shall be paid to ALERG within one (1) year of the commencement of the TIF. 7. Successors and Assigns.

Amendment and Waiver. The provisions of this Second Amendment may be amended and waived only with the prior written consent of both Parties. 9. Governing Law. This Second Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflicts of law principles. 10. Construction. As both Parties are represented by legal counsel and as both Parties have equal negotiating power, there shall be no construction in favor of any Party due to the fact that counsel for the other Party may not have been responsible for the drafting of this Second Amendment or any part thereof. 11. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Second Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Second Amendment is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such

22994832 _1 4 provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Second Amendment. 12.

The Real Estate. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller hereby agrees to sell and convey to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, certain Real Estate owned by Seller and located on or about 720 Moore Rd., Avon Lake, Ohio 44012, together with all improvements, fixtures, easements and appurtenant rights and privileges (PPN: 04-00-005-000-119), as further described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Real Estate”). 2. Purchase Price; Title Company. As consideration for the purchase of the Real Estate, Buyer shall pay Two Million Four Hundred Thirty-Four Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,434,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”) to Seller, which Purchase Price shall include an earnest money deposit (the “Deposit”) of Thirty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($35,000.00). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the payment of the balance of the Purchase Price in excess of the Deposit shall occur on the Closing Date (as defined below) and payment of the Deposit shall occur on the Effective Date, the payments of which shall be handled through Erie Commercial Title, 868 Corporate Way, Westlake, Ohio 44145 Attn: Jacqueline Shear, (216) 689- 1050 (the “Title Company”), which shall also act as escrow agent for the transactions described herein. The Deposit shall be refundable to Buyer during the Due Diligence Period (hereinafter defined) and nonrefundable to Buyer thereafter. 3. Closing; Closing Date. Subject to terms and conditions of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur no later than ten (10) days after the end of the Due Diligence Period (as defined in Section 4 of this Agreement and as may be extended), or on such earlier or later date as mutually agreed by the Parties in writing (subject to the express extension rights set forth in this Agreement, the “Closing Date”). 4. Due Diligence. (a) Seller Documents. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the following, to the extent in Seller’s possession (collectively, the “Seller Documents”): (i) a copy of any prior title policy for the Real Estate, and (ii) a copy of any existing final and certified survey, appraisal and/or environmental reports or studies for the Real Estate issued to Seller within the ten (10) year period prior to the Effective Date. Seller makes no representation or warranty of any kind or nature, either oral or written, directly or indirectly, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, with respect to the Seller Documents. Seller shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever with respect to, or in any way arising out of, the Seller Documents. 28078865 v11

2 (b) Due Diligence Period. Buyer shall have a period of forty five (45) days after the Effective Date (the “Due Diligence Period”) within which to examine the Real Estate and perform all non-invasive inspections and audits and obtain all reports with respect thereto, including, structural, environmental, title and survey review, and any other due diligence items which Buyer deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion (collectively, “Inspections”). Upon Seller’s request, Buyer shall deliver a copy of the results of any such Inspections to Seller. Seller shall not in any way be liable for, and Seller does not assume, any risk, liability, or responsibility or duty of care as to Buyer and its employees, agents, representatives or contractors (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) when on the Real Estate to conduct any Inspections. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer Parties enter the Real Estate and conduct the Inspections at their own risk. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer and Seller agree that no invasive testing, including but not limited to borings, asbestos samplings, or any Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (collectively, “Invasive Testing”), shall be performed at the Real Estate without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Closing is expressly contingent upon the results of Buyer’s due diligence being to Buyer’s sole satisfaction, which shall be determined in Buyer’s sole discretion during the Due Diligence Period. If, within the Due Diligence Period, Buyer notifies Seller in writing of Buyer’s election not to proceed with Closing, then Closing shall not take place, this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement. If, within the Due Diligence Period, Buyer fails to notify Seller in writing of Buyer’s election not to proceed with the Closing, then this contingency shall be deemed automatically satisfied without need for any affirmative action or approval by either Party, the Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Buyer and all Parties will proceed forward toward Closing subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. (c) During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable good faith efforts to obtain approval of this Agreement by both the Avon Lake Board of Municipal Utilities and the Avon Lake City Council (collectively, the “Required Approvals”). Buyer shall deliver a copy of such Required Approvals promptly after Buyer’s receipt thereof. If Buyer does not obtain such Required Approvals, then Buyer shall have the right, upon written notice to Seller delivered on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement. If Buyer fails to timely terminate this Agreement in accordance with the preceding sentence, then Buyer shall have be deemed to have obtained such Required Approvals on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and waived Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4(c). (d) From the Effective Date through the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a written lease agreement with the Farmer (hereinafter defined) (the “Farm Lease”), upon terms not inconsistent with the following: (i) an initial term of one (1) year; (ii) annual rent equal to $5,000.00 per annum; and (iii) two (2) extension options of one (1) year each, exercisable by mutual agreement of the Farmer as the tenant under the Farm Lease and the landlord under the Farm Lease no later than December 31 of the calendar year preceding the

3 expiration of the then-current term of the Farm Lease, with annual rent equal to $5,000.00 per annum for each year of any extension term. If Seller and the Farmer execute the Farm Lease during the Due Diligence Period, then Seller shall provide a copy of such Farm Lease to Buyer promptly after the full execution thereof. Buyer’s waiver or deemed waiver of Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement under Section 4(b) above shall be deemed Buyer’s acceptance of the Farm Lease in all respects, and at Closing, Buyer shall assume the Farm Lease pursuant to the Assignment of Lease (hereinafter defined). If Seller and the Farmer are unable to agree on or execute the Farm Lease prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then the same shall not be deemed a default or failure of a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to proceed to Closing, and Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period as set forth in Section 4(b) above. 5. Deed; Title; Survey. (a) Deed. At Closing, Seller shall convey marketable fee simple title to the Real Estate to Buyer by limited warranty deed substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Deed”), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except matters of record not objected to or otherwise deemed accepted by Buyer, survey matters, zoning and building ordinances, and real property taxes and assessments, both general and special, which are a lien on the Real Estate but not yet due and payable (“Taxes”) (collectively, the “Permitted Exceptions”). (b) Title. Promptly following the Effective Date, Seller shall order a commitment for a fee owner’s policy of title insurance from the Title Company (“Title Commitment”) for delivery to Seller and Buyer during the Due Diligence Period. At the Closing, Buyer shall be entitled to receive an ALTA Owner’s Fee Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) issued by the Title Company insuring title to the Real Estate vested in Buyer as of the filing of the Deed for record, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. By no later than five (5) business days before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall raise written objections to the Title Commitment and/or any survey as to any matter which is unacceptable to Buyer (“Buyer’s Objections”). Seller shall have three (3) business days after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Objections (“Seller’s Response Period”) to deliver written notice to Buyer electing to either: (i) remedy Buyer’s Objections; or (ii) not remedy Buyer’s Objections (“Seller’s Notice”), provided that if Seller fails to provide Seller’s Notice within Seller’s Response Period, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remedy Buyer’s Objections. If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to remedy Buyer’s Objections, then Buyer may elect, by written notice to the Seller on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, to cancel this Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement. A failure by Buyer to deliver any such written cancellation notice to Seller on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall be a conclusive presumption that Buyer has approved the Title Commitment and any survey, including Buyer’s Objections that Seller has not expressly agreed to remedy, and that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If Seller elects to remedy Buyer’s Objections and Seller does not remedy Buyer’s Objections before the Closing, then Buyer may elect, by written notice to the Seller on or before the Closing Date, to cancel this

4 Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement. (c) Seller and Buyer each hereby acknowledge that, as of the Effective Date, the Real Estate is subject to an oral license agreement with Brad Knoble (the “Farmer”) to use a portion of the Property for agricultural purposes (the “Farm License”). At or prior to Closing, Seller shall terminate the Farm License by written notice to the Farmer, which may be via email (the “Farm License Termination”). (d) With respect to the Tax Litigation (hereinafter defined), Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller, at no out of pocket cost to Buyer, to obtain the settlement or other resolution of the Tax Litigation such that any lien filed in connection therewith shall have been released or will be released at Closing. Such cooperation shall not be deemed a violation of Section 29 of this Agreement. Any such settlement or other resolution shall be subject to Seller’s approval in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. 6. Closing Deliveries. (a) On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Title Company: (i) the Deed; (ii) a “Non-Foreign Seller Affidavit” as required by Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (iii) a title affidavit substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof; (iv) two (2) counterparts of an Assignment and Assumption of Lease substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof, assigning the Farm Lease to Buyer (the “Assignment of Lease”), executed by Seller; and (v) such other funds, documents and instruments, in recordable form or otherwise, as may be reasonably required by the Title Company or Buyer as a condition of the closing of the escrow. (b) On or before the Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit with the Title Company: (i) the Purchase Price; (ii) a Form DTE-100EX; (iii) two (2) counterparts of the Assignment of Lease, executed by Buyer; and (iv) such other funds, documents and instruments, in recordable form or otherwise, as may be reasonably required by the Title Company as a condition of the closing of the escrow. 7. Prorations and Expenses. At Closing, Taxes for the year of Closing shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, upon the basis of a calendar year using the amount shown on the last available tax duplicate. Any Taxes for years prior to the year of Closing and interest and penalties associated therewith, including in connection with the Tax Litigation, if any, shall be paid or otherwise resolved by Seller at or before Closing, which may be effectuated using proceeds of the sale of the Property to Buyer. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to arrange for utilities to the Real Estate, if any, to be transferred to Buyer at Closing. Other normally pro-rated items shall be pro-rated as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall be solely responsible for any and all agricultural recoupments relating or attributable to the Real Estate due to a change in the use thereof, whether or not due or payable on the Closing Date or thereafter and whether attributable to the period before Closing or the period after Closing (collectively, “CAUV Recoupments”), which CAUV Recoupments are estimated to be $98,033.64. Within ten (10) business days after such time as any CAUV Recoupments become

5 known based upon written notice from the applicable governmental authority (the “CAUV Notice”), Buyer shall provide Seller with a copy of such CAUV Notice. Buyer shall pay all such CAUV Recoupments by no later than the earlier of thirty (30) days after the date of the CAUV Notice or when due.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Tax Litigation has not been settled or otherwise resolved and/or any lien filed in connection therewith has not been released as of the then-scheduled Closing Date, then Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for up to forty-five (45) days in order to obtain the settlement and resolution of the Tax Litigation and release of any lien filed in connection therewith. If Seller fails to settle or otherwise resolve the Tax Litigation and/or any lien filed in connection therewith before the Closing Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to this Agreement), then Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as more particularly set forth in Section 10(a) above. 14. No Liabilities Assumed. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that, except as set forth in this Agreement or any of the documents executed in connection with Closing, Buyer shall assume no liabilities of Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 15. Remedies Upon a Default. (a) If Seller shall fail to consummate the sale contemplated herein for any reason other than Buyer’s breach or default or termination as permitted herein, then Buyer shall be entitled, upon five (5) days prior written notice to Seller and the Title Company, in lieu of all other rights and remedies available to Buyer elsewhere in this Agreement and at law or in equity, (i) to sue for specific performance, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement, in which case any funds and documents deposited by the parties with each other or in escrow shall be returned forthwith to the party who so deposited same and the parties shall thereupon be released from any further obligations each to the other; provided, however, that any action for specific performance must be commenced within sixty (60) days after the date of the applicable written notice from Buyer. Seller would also be responsible to pay for all costs that may be owing with respect to the title examination. (b) If Buyer shall fail to consummate the purchase contemplated herein for any reason other than Seller’s breach or default or termination as permitted herein, then Seller shall be entitled, upon five (5) days prior written notice to Buyer and the Title Company, to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be released to Seller as liquidated damages and otherwise any funds and documents deposited by the parties with each other or in escrow shall be returned forthwith to the party who so deposited same and the parties shall thereupon be released from any further obligations each to the other. Buyer would also be responsible to pay for all costs that may be owing with respect to the title examination. (c) BUYER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (i) THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF AND BEARS A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP TO THE DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE

9 SUFFERED AND COSTS INCURRED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF HAVING WITHDRAWN THE REAL ESTATE FROM SALE AND THE FAILURE OF CLOSING TO HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO A DEFAULT OF BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; (ii) THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED AND COSTS INCURRED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF SUCH WITHDRAWAL AND FAILURE TO CLOSE DUE TO A DEFAULT OF BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICAL TO DETERMINE; (iii) BUYER SEEKS TO LIMIT ITS LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED AND THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT CLOSE DUE TO A DEFAULT OF BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; AND (iv) THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE AND CONSTITUTE VALID LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. 16. Risk of Loss. If the Real Estate is damaged or destroyed by fire or other cause after the Effective Date and prior to Closing and the cost of remediating such damage or destruction (as reasonably estimated by Seller) is equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Purchase Price, then Buyer may elect, by written notice to Seller within fifteen (15) days after the date that Buyer receives notice of such damage or destruction, to (a) terminate this Agreement and receive the return of all money Buyer previously deposited in escrow hereunder (and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligations or liability hereunder), or (b) complete the purchase of the Real Estate and, to the extent the same exist and are assignable by Seller to Buyer, receive any proceeds from any insurance carried by Seller covering such damage or destruction, up to the amount of the Purchase Price, with a credit to Buyer for any deductible under such insurance. The failure of Buyer to elect to terminate this Agreement in the manner provided in this Section 16 shall be deemed an election by Buyer to complete the purchase as set forth herein. Except as expressly provided by the foregoing, Buyer shall not have any right to terminate this Agreement due to any damage or destruction, and Buyer shall complete the purchase of the Real Estate in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent the same exist and are assignable by Seller to Buyer, Buyer shall receive any proceeds from any insurance carried by Seller covering such damage or destruction, up to the amount of the Purchase Price, with a credit to the Buyer for any deductible under such insurance. 17. Further Assistance; Cooperation. Seller and Buyer agree, at any time and from time to time, to execute any and all documents reasonably requested by the other party or the Title Company to carry out the intent of this Agreement, provided that the same do not materially increase any obligations or decrease any rights of the party executing the same. 18. Assignment; Binding Agreement. This Agreement may not be assigned without the other party’s prior written consent. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not survive Closing but, subject to the foregoing, shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including electronic signatures included in a pdf file or via DocuSign or similar service, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when counterparts have been signed

10 by each party and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. Copies of this Agreement bearing the signatures of Buyer and Seller shall be as binding as originals. 20. Brokers. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that Buyer has not dealt with a real estate broker in connection with this transaction. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that Seller has not dealt with any real estate broker in connection with the sale of the Property, except for Kevin Kelly of Cushman and Wakefield (“Seller’s Broker”). If Closing occurs, then at Closing, Seller shall pay a commission to Seller’s Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Seller’s Broker (the “Brokerage Agreement”) and shall defend, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless with respect thereto. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, claims and/or obligations for brokerage fees or commissions in connection with the sale of the Real Estate payable to or claimed by any broker (other than Seller’s Broker) claiming to have dealt solely with Buyer and not with Seller (if any). The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement. 21. Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall be deemed to contain all of the terms and conditions agreed upon, it being understood that there are no outside representations or oral agreements. 22. Escrow Conditions. This Agreement shall serve as escrow instructions for the Title Company, and may be supplemented by additional escrow instructions from the parties prior to the Closing, so long as such additional instructions do not conflict with this Agreement. 23. Notices. Any notice request, information, or other communication to be given hereunder to either of the parties by the other shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been delivered on the next business day after being deposited with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or upon first attempted delivery after being deposited in the first class U.S. mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, as follows: If to Buyer: Avon Lake Regional Water 201 Miller Road Avon Lake, Ohio 44012 If to Seller: Moore Road, LLC P.O.

Guttman, Esq. or such other addresses as Buyer or Seller may advise each other in writing.

11 24. Access to Real Estate. From and after the Effective Date and until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller agrees to permit Buyer and Buyer’s designees reasonable access to the Real Estate, upon at least two (2) business days’ prior notice, for the purpose of making Inspections as contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against any liability, loss, damage, claim, fee, cost or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees which may have resulted or may result from any such entry upon or inspection of the Real Estate and Buyer shall restore the Real Estate to its condition existing prior to such entry or inspection. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 25. Section Headings. All section headings and other titles and captions herein are for convenience only, do not form a substantive part of this Agreement, and shall not restrict or enlarge any substantive provisions of this Agreement. 26. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. Each party hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the State of Ohio for the enforcement of this Agreement and hereby waives any claim or right under the laws of any other state or of the United States to object to such jurisdiction.

As used in this Agreement, the term “business day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, national legal holiday or other holiday on which federally-chartered banks are required or permitted to be closed for business in Cleveland, Ohio or in the State of Ohio. 28. AS-IS PROVISION. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that the Real Estate is being conveyed AS-IS, WHERE-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS, and that, except as expressly set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement, Seller has not made any representations or warranties, either express or implied, regarding the physical condition, zoning, suitability for any use or purpose, subsoil conditions, existence of minerals or rights thereto, or otherwise concerning the Real Estate. Buyer acknowledges that it will have sufficient access to the Real Estate during the Due Diligence Period to fully inspect the Real Estate and is relying solely on such inspection(s) regarding the condition of the Real Estate. 29. Survival. If any provision herein contained which by its nature and effect is required to be observed, kept or performed after the Closing and is expressly stated in this Agreement to survive Closing, it shall survive the Closing and remains binding upon and for the benefit of the parties hereto until fully observed, kept or performed. 30.
