Upon such completion and recordation, the Purchase Price and any accrued interest shall be deemed waived in full, and no payment shall be due from Buyer for the purchase price of the Property, except as may otherwise expressly be set forth herein. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Development Agreement between Buyer’s affiliate and Seller, dated December 20, 2024 (as amended). 3. DUE DILIGENCE AND PROPERTY INSPECTION: Buyer acknowledges that it has had substantial opportunity to conduct due diligence concerning the Property pursuant to the Development Agreement between the parties ( Buyer as assignee to the Development Agreement), including, without limitation, access for environmental assessments, geotechnical studies, and other physical inspections. Accordingly, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Seller, Buyer shall not be entitled to any additional due diligence period or rights under this Agreement.

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING; CONVEYANCE; AND CLOSING: Seller’s obligation to close hereunder shall be conditioned on Seller’ s receipt of evidence that Buyer has obtained adequate construction financing for the Project (“ Construction Financing”).

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent expressly set forth herein, the closing of the transaction contemplated hereby ( the “ Closing”) shall occur simultaneously with the closing of the Construction Financing, unless extended or accelerated with the mutual consent of both Seller and Buyer. At Closing, Buyer shall pay all conveyance and/ or transfer fees, and Seller shall convey title to the Property to Buyer by Limited Warranty Deed. Buyer shall pay for all recording fees and all other Closing costs, including any escrow fees owed to the Title Company. 8. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS: All real estate taxes, assessments, and any payments in lieu thereof pursuant to state laws applicable to the Property ( collectively, “ Taxes”) for the calendar year of Closing shall be apportioned and prorated on a per- diem basis between the parties as of the date of Closing, regardless of the collection date therefore. Seller’ s share of such proration shall be based upon the number of days in such calendar year which precede ( but do not include) the date of Closing and Buyer’ s share shall be based on the number of days in such year that include and follow the date of Closing. Seller shall also pay or credit against the Purchase Price at Closing all other unpaid Taxes that are a lien for years prior to Closing. To the extent the Property was exempt from real estate taxation during the Seller’s ownership, the parties agree to calculate prorations as if tax liability arose as of the Closing Date, solely for the purpose of allocating responsibility for any Taxes assessed or payable following Closing. 9.

These policies amount to a cruel attempt to erase the identities and silence the voices of members of the transgender community, resulting in many of our friends and neighbors feeling unsafe and uncertain. The following resolution seeks to provide reassurance and protection to our transgender neighbors and their families by proposing an administrative policy to be enacted city-wide. The policy articulates that City resources, including funds and employee time shall not be utilized for the purpose of investigating individuals pursuing gender- affirming health care for themselves or a family member; nor will resources be used to pursue medical providers who may provide this care, or to follow up on any reports of such. The policy further makes explicit that any and all information the City receives about the healthcare of individualsis subject to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and that benefits- eligible City of Lakewood employees will continue to receive gender- affirming care through the City’s insurance provider, if needed. Additionally, anticipating the potential return of anti-drag bills at the State level, the policy addresses freedom of gender expression and performance. It is our firm belief that this policy reflects the current attitude and practice of our City administration, which has expressed no desire to carry out the misguided priorities of our state and federal governments in this regard. Each year during budget season, the City reflects on its long-term and short-term priorities, which are many and require the focused time, attention and dedication of staff, plus the support of taxpayers. There is simply not room in the City’ s budget or staff capacity to indulge these unconscionable policies which do nothing but distract us from our primary goals of building a strong, sustainable, and welcoming community.

RESOLUTION 2025-45 BY: KEPPLE, STREBIG A RESOLUTION to take effect immediately provided it receives the affirmative vote of at least two thirds of the members of Council, or otherwise to take effect and be in force after the earliest period allowed by law, adopting the City of Lakewood Gender Freedom Policy in response to attacks on transgender rights at the state and national levels. WHEREAS, the transgender, nonbinary, and LGBTQIA+ ( Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual) community in Lakewood and nationally are being attacked by the Trump Administration's recent actions, including: x The Trump Administration’s executive order on January 20, 2025 stating that the U.S. government will now recognize only two sexes--male and female--and define sex as “ an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female,” and erasing gender as a meaningful identifier in official policies and documents; x The Trump Administration’s executive order on January 28, 2025, rescinding funding for seeking to end gender-affirming medical treatments for children and teenagers under the age of 19 and discrediting relevant scientific literature on gender-affirming care; x The US Office of Personnel Management’s memo dated January 29th, 2025 to all federal agencies ending legal recognition of transgender people by removing references to gender on all forms that previously requested this information; WHEREAS, in January 2024, the Ohio General Assembly voted to override Governor Mike DeWine’s veto against Ohio House Bill 68 (“ H.B. 68”), a bill that bans transgender, non- binary, and gender-expansive minors from receiving gender-affirming health care; and WHEREAS, transgender immigrants, refugees, and asylees face additional gender-based persecution due to their immigration status; and WHEREAS, the Human Rights Campaign reported in 2023 that, 85% of all victims of fatal violence against transgender and gender diverse people identified since 2013 are members of the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities with almost two-thirds (61.8%) of victims have been black trans women; and WHEREAS, a survey by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force reveals that transgender people experience unemployment at twice the rate as the general population, with transgender people of color impacted at a scale four times the national rate. The survey also revealed that transgender individuals are four times more likely to have a household income of less than $ 10,000/year compared to the general population. Transgender survey respondents further reported that they experienced extensive discrimination as both renters and homeowners, 19% said that they had been denied a home or apartment because of their gender identity, and their homeownership rates were reported at only half the national rate; and WHEREAS, gender-affirming health care is evidence-based and broadly supported by major medical associations, including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American 049

Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Counseling Association, the Endocrine Society, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Urological Association, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, and the Children’s Hospital Association; and WHEREAS, as set forth in Section 2.12 of the Third Amended Charter of the City of Lakewood, this Council by a vote of at least two thirds of its members determines that this resolution is an emergency measure and that it shall take effect immediately, and that it is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public property, health, and safety and to provide for the usual daily operation of municipal departments, in that the lives and wellbeing of transgender individuals is at stake; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF LAKEWOOD, OHIO: Section 1. The City of Lakewood hereby makes a commitment to enshrining and upholding transgender rights, equal protections and safety for transgender and gender diverse community members. Section 2. The City of Lakewood recognizes the importance of gender-affirming healthcare as a matter of health, privacy, and equality and to ensure, to the greatest extent permitted by law, that those rights are upheld for all residents and visitors within the City of Lakewood and therefore adopts the City of Lakewood Gender Freedom Policy (“Policy”) attached as Exhibit “A”. Section 3. The Policy shall not be amended or rescinded without separate action of Council. Section 4. The City will distribute the Policy to all employees upon enactment of this Resolution and will distribute the Policy to new employees within 30 days of their start date. Section 5. This resolution is hereby declared to be an emergency measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, property, health, safety, and welfare in the City and for the usual daily operation of the City for the reasons set forth and defined in the preamble to this resolution, and provided it receives the affirmative vote of at least two thirds of the members of Council, this resolution shall take effect and be in force immediately upon its adoption by the Council and approval by the Mayor, or otherwise it shall take effect and be in force after the earliest period allowed by law.

City of Lakewood City Council Council At Large Sarah Kepple, President Thomas R. Bullock III Angelina Hamilton Steiner Ward Council Kyle Baker, Ward 1, Vice President Bryan Evans, Ward 2 Cindy Strebig, Ward 3 Cindy Marx, Ward 4 City of Lakewood Administrative Policy regarding Gender Freedom In light of the numerous federal and state attempts to target and restrict the rights and dignity of transgender people, and due to the threat of criminalizing certain forms of gender related expression, the City of Lakewood (“ City) finds it necessary to establish a policy regarding the use of public funds or resources in the investigation and the prosecution of individuals for their personal choices regarding health care and expression. Under Ohio’s Home Rule Authority, the City has the authority to prioritize the utilization of resources and exercise prosecutorial discretion. Lakewood is the most densely populated municipality in Ohio and experiences crime like any other densely populated inner ring suburbs. Therefore, it is the City’s policy that no city resources, including, but not limited to, time spent by employees, officers, contractors, or subcontractors while on duty, or the use of city property, shall be utilized for detaining or investigating persons for solely seeking or providing gender-affirming care, including gender affirmation surgery or gender hormone therapy and legal guardians seeking gender-affirming care on behalf of dependents. Further, no city resources shall be utilized for cooperating with or providing information to any individual, in or out-of-state agency or department regarding the provision of gender-affirming healthcare or gender-affirming mental healthcare performed in Lakewood and the State of Ohio. Further, the City recognizes that legislation that has previously been introduced in the Ohio General Assembly would restrict and criminalize “performers or entertainers who exhibit a gender identity that is different from the performer’ s or entertainer’s gender assigned at birth.” Therefore, it is the City’s policy that investigations of individuals, organizations, and businesses performing or hosting drag performances or entertainment which would not otherwise fall under Ohio’s Obscenity law, ORC 2907.32, were gender identity or expression not explicitly targeted; and, investigations of individuals, organizations, and healthcare providers in Lakewood facilitating gender-affirming care as supported by major medical associationsi and facilitation of other policies and laws aimed to harm transgender and gender diverse people to be the lowest possible priority, and ensure transgender and gender diverse people have access to healthcare, housing, education, employment, and self-expression without fear of discrimination. Any report or other record created and held by the City, which contains medical information regarding gender-affirming healthcare will be considered confidential health information and not subject to release, except with the consent of the individual as required by the health insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). Employees who may regularly gather such information from the public will be trained to protect confidential health information and to not collect unnecessary health information related to gender-affirming care. Finally, Lakewood also has the authority to determine the types of employee benefits that it currently offers employees to ensure their health and wellness, respecting their private healthcare decisions. As a result, Lakewood will continue to provide medical coverage for employees and covered family members who seek gender-affirming care even if such care must legally be provided outside the State of Ohio. i the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Counseling Association, the Endocrine Society, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Urological Association, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, and the Children’ s Hospital Association 051

City of Lakewood City Council Council At Large Sarah Kepple, President Thomas R. Bullock III Angelina Hamilton Steiner Ward Council Kyle Baker, Ward 1, Vice President Bryan Evans, Ward 2 Cindy Strebig, Ward 3 Cindy Marx, Ward 4 September 15, 2025 Lakewood City Council 12650 Detroit Avenue Lakewood, Ohio 44107 Re: Responding to high housing costs in Lakewood by urging state government to provide new tools to local governments to implement targeted property tax relief programs via residential stability zones Dear Mayor and Members of Council: Over at least the last six years, the high price of housing has been affecting Lakewood residents, renters and property owners alike. Many have expressed concern about the pressure that high prices impose upon both our longtime neighbors—people who have lived in their homes for decades and may own them outright—and newer neighbors who are tenants in one of Lakewood’ s wonderful homes or apartment buildings. Both are feeling pressure from inflation in the general economy (the cost of groceries, utility bills, gasoline, and other basics are rising faster than our incomes) and from the housing market, which is putting pressure on Lakewood’ s longtime identity as a socio-economically diverse community. Housing prices have risen regionally, yet Lakewood’ s have risen more steeply (more than 40 percent higher than the region). Citywide, our total property value has doubled in the last six years to approximately 1.8 billion. Strong property values bring with them some important benefits, but the annual carrying costs of property ownership—i.e. property taxes— present difficulties to many. These difficulties have been magnified in the last six years given the sudden and large increase in valuation without a commensurate adjustment to how property taxes are assessed for inside mills—the first 10 mills on our property tax bills—which adjust automatically up or down with property values. Combine this with long-term State of Ohio policy to shift government revenues away from income taxes and to cut in half the share of state revenues allocated to local governments via the Local Government Fund, and the effect is that local property taxes have taken on a larger and larger role in funding essential services from cities, libraries, school districts, park districts, and more. Notably, the most recent state budget delivered to high net worth individuals very significant tax relief while delivering zero to working class homeowners. It is a false choice for state government to in effect tell property owners to strain their family finances to the point of breaking or to harm their quality of life by closing or greatly reducing community services from police, fire, libraries, parks, and schools— the loss of which would harm properties values as well. Both are unacceptable. State government needs to reform its approach to taxes and public revenue to rebalance cost sharing and to remove the distortionary effects on our communities of high reliance on property taxes. (An example is Ohio’s public school funding system, which relies greatly on local property taxes; the Ohio Supreme Court found this system of financing public education to be unconstitutional in the 1997 landmark case DeRolph v. State.) The Governor and General Assembly have many proposals before them. Local government powers do not traditionally provide the tools needed to address these matters: outside of levies, local governments have no tools to control local property taxes. More targeted and effective solutions are available at the state government level. Tonight, I invite us to express support for one such proposal, Senate Bill 42, a bipartisan proposal by Senators Michelle Reynolds and Hershel Craig to authorize residential stability zones in which homeowners may qualify for partial property tax exemption. This would create new tools for a local government to, optionally, implement targeted reduction of property taxes by criteria that it would define. The legislation would: 052

12650 Detroit Ave. Lakewood, OH 44107 216) 529-6055 | www.lakewoodoh. gov x authorize limited home rule townships, counties, and municipalities to establish temporary zones where certain homeowners may apply for a partial property tax exemption equal to a percentage of the increase in assessed valuation of their homes; x require receipt of an exemption to be limited based on household income, asset ownership, and length of ownership and occupancy; x limit the authorization of such zones to periods of no more than ten years, subject to renewal; x authorize exemptions to be for an indefinite period for homeowners aged 60 and over or for six years for all other homeowners; and x authorize a recoupment charge for any exemptions claimed while the homestead or owner did not qualify for the exemption. The merits of this proposal are that it equips local government to be a part of the solution by choosing what percentage is going to be abated, for how long, and to select other eligibility criteria. This would allow municipalities to make policy choices such as (for example) targeted relief to low- and intermediate- income property owners. Most importantly, without such new tools, it is difficult for the City of Lakewood or any other local government to provide effective targeted assistance or relief. Additional steps likely are called for. I propose that City of Lakewood leaders understand the problem and identify solutions around which we may engage with state government leaders to begin providing a response to our Lakewood neighbors who are experiencing financial difficulties more and more. Please join me in prioritizing this important issue by passing this resolution tonight or by referring it to a committee of Council’ s choosing. Sincerely, Tom Bullock Councilmember At-Large 053

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-47 BY: BULLOCK A RESOLUTION to respond to high housing costs in Lakewood by urging state government to provide new tools to local governments to implement targeted property tax relief programs via residential stability zones. WHEREAS, Lakewood has long prided itself on being a socioeconomically diverse community that welcomes all; and WHEREAS, many Lakewood residents are experiencing significant affordability problems due to inflation in the general economy and due to steep property valuation increases in the last six years, which affects housing prices for both tenants and property owners; and WHEREAS, state government has primary control over public revenues and tax collection in Ohio for income, sales, property, and other taxes, and, by contrast, the ability of local governments to allocate tax collections to achieve a more equitable cost share and to reduce problems is more limited; and WHEREAS, local governments currently lack tools for targeted property tax adjustments that could be more effective in addressing difficulties; and WHEREAS, given that it is a false choice for state government to leave property owners in the dilemma of continued strain to their family finances or of closing or greatly reducing community services from police, fire, libraries, parks, and schools—the loss of which would harm properties values and quality of life; and WHEREAS, Council desires to be equipped with more tools to be a part of the solution; and now, therefore BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF LAKEWOOD, OHIO: Section 1. That this Council does hereby express support for Senate Bill 42 in the 136th General Assembly and urges the Ohio General Assembly to adopt, and the Governor of Ohio to sign, the same. Section 2. That the Clerk of Council is hereby authorized and directed to present a copy of this resolution to the Governor of Ohio, the Speaker of the Ohio House, and the President of the Ohio Senate as an expression of the City of Lakewood’s support. Section 3. It is found and determined that all formal actions of this council concerning and relating to the passage of this resolution were adopted in an open meeting of this Council, and that all such deliberations of this Council and of any of its committees that resulted in such formal action were in meetings open to the public in compliance with all legal requirements. 054

Dear Mayor and Members of Council: Please consider the attached resolution to continue enhancing consideration of public input as part of City infrastructure projects, including Active Transportation Plan Projects such as the Bunts Road Rehabilitation Project. City Council has heard a significant amount of public input from residents affected by the Bunts Road Rehabilitation Project, yet the input we have received at Council meetings has fallen outside of the formal public input process that informs the development of project plans for at least two reasons: first, the timing of the input came after a date the City set as a cut-off point for public input; or, the input is before the wrong body (i.e. City Council rather than a Department, Board, or Commission). To the degree that public input is not being incorporated into our plan development, this is unsatisfactory— to the residents, and, I argue, to City Council. Many residents affected by the Bunts Road Rehabilitation Project have worked to communicate features of the plan they would like to change to mitigate their concerns about potential negative impacts on safety, neighborhood character, and other considerations. They have made certain requests and would like to propose alternatives. Under our current process, the City’s work to consider their input appears to be incomplete. The proposed resolution seeks to enhance City Council’s role so that we continue improving our consideration of public input on this and similar infrastructure projects.
