including not only the land but also the several dozen 
existing structures, the existing utility facilities and other

and to the Combined Campuses for $1 and such other terms and 
conditions in the quitclaim deed, the quitclaim bill of sale, 
and ancillary documents that the Director deems appropriate, 
with such sale occurring pursuant to a Purchase and Sale 
Agreement prepared by the Department. The conveyance of the 
Property authorized by this Act shall be made subject to

agreements, and restrictions of record.
    (c) Each of the documents of transfer shall state on its 
face and be subject to the conditions that the Property (i) 
shall be used for public purposes only, including recreation 
and conservation, and (ii) shall not be used for the purpose of 
gambling authorized by the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975 
or the Illinois Gambling Act, and the documents of transfer 
shall each contain a reverter clause providing, in language 
prepared by and acceptable to the Department, that title to 
the Property shall revert, without further action, to the 
State of Illinois if:

    public purpose;

sale, without any representation by the State of Illinois to 
TPPD, or any persons and entities whatsoever, as to Property's 
condition or fitness for any purpose. Both the deed and bill of 
sale shall be executed by TPPD as grantee in order to confirm

Act and TPPD's agreement to timely and fully perform its 
obligations as set forth in this Act. All documents of
