2 SCHEDULE B-I Rev. No. 1 Requirements The following items are that must be completed or satisfied before we can issue our Title Insurance Policy. Some items must be handled before the transaction closes and some can be handled at the closing of the the transaction. In most circumstances, "sooner-is-better" to complete the Requirements. Ranking: Each Requirement is ranked based on the level of difficulty or complexity that will likely be involved in completing them: [*] LOW - Fairly routine and the process to complete them is straight forward. [**] MEDIUM - May require additional time and effort to complete and should be started promptly. [***] HIGH - Represent a significant and substantial issue that must be investigated and handled as soon as possible. These could require additional time and may require specialized services to complete. STANDARD REQUIREMENTS (These apply to every transaction) 1. TRANSACTION PAYMENTS [*]: You m ust pay the applicable costs and fees relating to the transaction, including any property acquisition costs, loan fees, and title insurance premiums (most will be paid at the closing of the transaction). 2. OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES [*]: You must tell us in writing about any person who will get an ownership interest in the Property or who will make a loan or mortgage on the Property. 3.

OWNERS' AFFIDAVIT [*]: We must receive a signed Owners' Affidavit and Closing Agreement from the current owner. The Owners' Affidavit and Closing Agreement is typically signed at the closing of the transaction and includes statements from the owner(s) about their knowledge of the Property, including information relating to their ownership of the Property, details about the transaction, and other provisions necessary for us to conduct the closing and issue our title insurance policy.

3 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS (These are unique to this transaction) 5. PURCHASE AGREEMENT [*]: When a purchase agreement for the property is signed, we must receive a copy of the fully signed purchase agreement and this title commitment will be revised to reflect the transaction details, including the proposed insurance coverage and insured parties (together with any additional requirements that may be necessary after a review of the purchase agreement). 6. LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY - AUTHORIZATION [*]: We must receive a copy of the Operating Agreement of Paul Dost Farms, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, to determine who is authorized to sign transaction documents on behalf of the limited liability company (e.g. managers, members, or other authorized persons). Alternatively, if a copy of the Operating Agreement is not available or there is no Operating Agreement, we can accept a resolution signed by all of the Members that: (i) includes a statement that the individuals signing the resolution represent all of the members of the limited liability company, (ii) authorizes this transaction, and (iii) lists the names of one or more individuals that are authorized to sign the transaction documents on behalf of the limited liability company. Note: If it is not possible to obtain a member resolution signed by all of the members, then we will review the company's Operating Agreement to determine who is authorized to sign on behalf of the limited liability company and whether a resolution is needed. If the Operating Agreement clearly indicates that a majority of members can act on behalf of the company (or a manager or majority of managers can act on behalf of the company), then no resolution will be required if those individuals sign the transaction documents. Upon request, a form of member resolution can be provided. 7. DEED FROM ENTITY OWNER TO BUYER [*]: When the transaction is closed, a Warranty Deed from Paul Dost Farms, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, to Proposed Purchaser, must be signed and recorded.
