3.2 Escrow Agent Instructions. The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall
constitute both an agreement between Seller and Buyer and instructions for the Escrow Agent. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any separate or additional instructions required by Escrow Agent (Additional
Instructions), this Agreement shall prevail and govern. The Additional Instructions shall not modify or amend the provisions of this Agreement unless otherwise expressly set forth by mutual written instructions or consent of Buyer and Seller.

Section 4. Purchase Price.

4.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price (the Purchase Price) for the Property shall be FIFTY TWO MILLION TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($52,275,000), of which Fifty Two Million
Dollars ($52,000,000) shall be allocated to the Improved Land, the Improvements, the Intangibles and all rights of way or use, licenses, tenements, hereditaments, appurtenances and easements now or hereafter belonging or pertaining to any of the
foregoing and of which Two Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($275,000) shall be allocated to the Franz Property and all improvements located thereon.

The Purchase Price, as adjusted by the prorations provided in Section 4.2 and as reduced by the Earnest Money (which, unless otherwise disbursed hereunder, shall be disbursed by Escrow Agent at the Closing to
Seller as a portion of the Purchase Price), shall be deposited by Buyer with the Escrow Agent at the Closing in United States dollars, by Federal Reserve System wire transfer or other immediately available funds acceptable to Escrow Agent.

4.2 Prorations. The following items shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Proration Date, and prorations favoring
Buyer, to the extent determinable as of the Proration Date, shall reduce the Purchase Price payable by Buyer at the Closing, and such prorations favoring Seller, to the extent determinable as of the Proration Date, shall increase the Purchase Price

4.2.1 Isle of Wight County property taxes and assessments of every nature, including storm
water fees, for the tax period of Closing.

5



---

Buyer and Seller shall promptly pay to the other party any amount due to the other party as a result of any proration
required under this Section 4.2. All amounts due hereunder shall be payable no later than twenty (20) days after demand by the payee. The terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.2 shall expressly survive the Closing hereunder
only for the period of time necessary to achieve final prorations of all amounts due and owing hereunder, but in any event no later than two (2) years after the Closing.

Section 4.3. Intentionally Deleted.

Section 5. Title to the Land and the Improvements. The Land, the Improvements and the Franz Improvements are to be sold and conveyed by Seller to Buyer, and accepted by Buyer from Seller, subject to
(i) those items listed on Exhibit C attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, (ii) nondelinquent general, special and supplemental real property taxes and assessments, and (iii) all other covenants,
conditions, restrictions, easements, licenses, reservations, rights of way and other matters that are either recorded against the Land or which are reflected in the Survey, herein defined, and that are not objected to by Buyer pursuant to this
Section 5 of this Agreement. Seller shall convey good and insurable title to the Land, the Improvements and the Franz Improvements to Buyer in the form of the Deed. Buyer shall have the option of taking title to the Improved Land and the
Improvements by a Deed separate from the Deed to the Franz Property and the Franz Improvements and may also direct Seller to convey title to the Franz Property and the Franz Improvements to a separate entity affiliated with Buyer. Seller shall
obtain a current Urban ALTA/ACSM spotted survey (the Survey) in accordance with the minimum standard detail requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title surveys established and adopted by ALTA and ACSM in 2005 including all Title A Optional
Responsibilities Items 1-4, 6, 7(a), (b)(1), (c), 8, 9, 10, 11(a), 12-16 certified to Buyer, its successors and assigns, lenders and the Title Insurer. Additionally, Seller shall obtain from the Title Insurer through Pioneer Title Co., an agent of
the Title Insurer, an owners title insurance commitment on the current ALTA Extended Coverage form, in the amount of the Purchase Price and naming Buyer as the proposed insured (the Title Commitment), together with copies of all
documents shown in the Title Commitment as exceptions to the title to the Property. Buyer shall have ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the Survey, Title Commitment and copies of all exceptions to give written notice to Seller of any
objections which Buyer may have to the title to the Land. If Buyer fails to give any notice to Seller by such date, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such right to object to any title exceptions or defects except with respect to title exceptions
or defects of which Buyer receives notice following its required time to notify Seller. If Buyer does give Seller timely notice of objection to any other title exceptions or defects, Seller shall then have the right, but not the obligation, for a
period of five (5) calendar days after such notice, to reasonably cure or satisfy such objection. The procurement by Seller, at its sole expense, of an endorsement to the Title Commitment, insuring Buyer against any title exceptions or defects,
shall be deemed a cure by Seller of such exception or defect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall in all events be required to cure, at or before the Closing, monetary liens in a definite and ascertainable amount and all other title
exceptions or defects caused by Sellers intentional and wrongful acts that may be cured by the payment of money. If such objection is not so timely and reasonably cured, then Buyer shall, within five (5) calendar days thereafter, elect,
by written notice given to Seller on or before such fifth (5th) day, either to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case the



6



---

Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer by Escrow Agent, and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which
expressly survive any such termination, or (b) waive its objections hereunder and proceed with the transaction pursuant to the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Buyer fails to give Seller notice of its election by such time,
it shall be deemed to have elected the option contained in subparagraph (b) above. If Seller does so reasonably cure or satisfy such objection, then this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Buyer shall have the right at any time
to waive any objections that it may have made and, thereby, to preserve this Agreement in full force and effect.

|Sellers Initials |  |  |  | Buyers Initials

The provisions of this Section 6.3 shall survive indefinitely any Closing or termination of this Agreement

Property beyond a Phase I environmental site assessment (i.e. no sampling or drilling) without obtaining Sellers prior written consent. Buyer agrees to
give Seller at least twenty-four (24) hours advance written notice of such examinations or surveys and to conduct such examinations or surveys during normal business hours. Unless Seller waives such right in writing, a representative of Seller
must be present with Buyer during all examinations or surveys of the Property conducted by Buyer. Buyer agrees to restore the Property to its condition prior to any such examinations or surveys immediately after conducting the same. Buyer hereby
indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any claims for injury or death to persons, damage to property or other losses, damages or claims, including, in each instance, attorneys fees and litigation costs, to the extent arising
out of any action of any person or firm entering the Property on Buyers behalf as aforesaid, which indemnity shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement without the Closing having occurred.

6.6 Formal Inspection Period. Notwithstanding Buyers right of inspection contained in Section 6.5 above, with respect to the condition
of the Property, Buyers obligation to close under this Agreement is subject to and conditioned upon Buyers investigation and study of and satisfaction with the Property. Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time on the
sixtieth (60th) day following full execution of this Agreement (the Inspection Date), to make any
such investigations and studies with respect to the Property as Buyer deems appropriate, and to terminate this Agreement, by written notice to Seller, to be given on or before the Inspection Date, if Buyer is not, for any reason, satisfied with the
Property. If Buyer fails timely to give notice of such termination, then Buyers rights under this Section 6.6 shall be deemed to have been waived by Buyer and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without any longer being
subject to this Section 6.6. If Buyer does give notice of termination on or before the Inspection Date, the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer by Escrow Agent, and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except
for those which expressly survive any such termination, and, thereafter, Buyer shall promptly provide to Seller, without charge and without warranty, copies of any reports, surveys, drawings, tests or other written documents obtained by Buyer from
third parties with respect to the Property.

Sellers delivery to Buyer of the Deed, Buyer shall obtain and deliver to Seller, or cause to be obtained and delivered to Seller, at the Closing the following documents (collectively, the Buyers Closing Documents, all of
which shall be duly executed and witnessed, which documents Seller agrees to execute where required):

the Improved Land and the Improvements from the conveyance of the Franz Property and the Franz Improvements as determined by Buyer.

11.4
Costs. At the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall pay their own respective costs incurred with respect to the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property as contemplated herein, including, without limitation, attorneys fees.

costs, all Survey costs and the premium to Pioneer Title Co. for an ALTA owners standard policy, or policies if applicable, of title insurance (with all endorsements).

Section 12. Default and Remedies.

12.1 Buyers Default. In the event of a default by Buyer under the terms of this Agreement and continuation of such default for a period of five (5) calendar days after receipt of written notice from
Seller (except that no such notice shall be required for a failure by Buyer to tender the Purchase Price and execute the applicable Closing Documents on the Closing Date in accordance with Section 11.2), Escrow Agent shall disburse the Earnest
Money to Seller, and Seller shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, to retain the Earnest Money as full liquidated damages for such default of Buyer, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall have no
further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such termination. It is hereby agreed that Sellers damages in the event of a default by Buyer hereunder are uncertain and difficult to ascertain, and that
the Earnest Money constitutes a reasonable liquidation of such damages and is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. Buyer covenants not to bring any action or suit challenging the amount of liquidated damages provided hereunder
in the event of such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer interferes with or makes any attempt to interfere with Seller receiving or



14



---

retaining, as the case may be, the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 12.1 (other than on the basis that Buyer, in good faith, disputes
Sellers contention that Buyer is in default hereunder), Seller shall have the right to elect to recover all collection costs necessary to enforce its rights hereunder together with the Earnest Money. This provision shall expressly survive the
termination of this Agreement.

12.2 Sellers Default. In the event of a default by Seller under the terms of this Agreement
which is first discovered by Buyer prior to the Closing and is not cured by Seller within five (5) calendar days after receipt of written notice from Buyer, or as otherwise provided hereunder (except that only one (1) days notice shall be
required for a failure by Seller to execute and tender the Closing Documents on the Closing Date in accordance with Section 11.2), Buyers sole and exclusive remedies hereunder shall be either to (i) terminate this Agreement and
receive a refund of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent (except as provided to the contrary in Section 8) or (ii) subject to compliance by Buyer with Section 12.2.1, seek specific performance of Sellers obligations under this
Agreement, without any reduction in the Purchase Price. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall have no right to seek or recover any damages from Seller in the event of a default by Seller under the terms of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the remedy of specific performance is not available because of Sellers intentional misconduct, Buyer shall be entitled to assert a claim against Seller for damages incurred by Buyer as a result
thereof.

12.2.1 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. BUYER SHALL ONLY BE ENTITLED TO THE REMEDY OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE IF BUYER IS READY, WILLING
AND ABLE TO PERFORM BUYERS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT ANY VARIANCE OR MODIFICATION (EXCEPT VARIANCES AND MODIFICATIONS, IF ANY, WHICH MAY BE SET FORTH IN WRITING AND EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY BOTH SELLER AND BUYER), PROVIDED THAT
BUYER SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO DEPOSIT WITH THE ESCROW AGENT THE PURCHASE PRICE AND ANY OTHER AMOUNTS REQUIRED OF BUYER TO CLOSE HEREUNDER UNTIL ONE DAY BEFORE THE ACTUAL CLOSING. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY EVIDENCE THEIR SPECIFIC CONSENT TO THE TERMS
OF THIS SECTION 12 BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS IN THE PLACE PROVIDED HEREINAFTER.

|Sellers Initials |  |  |  | Buyers Initials

12.3 Sellers Misrepresentation or Breach of Warranty. In the event of a
misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Seller under Section 8 of this Agreement which is first discovered by Buyer after the Closing Date but within one (1) year after the Closing Date, Buyer shall notify Seller, in writing, of the
specifics of such default. Seller shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of Buyers notice in which to cure said default (or such longer time if such default cannot be reasonably cured within said sixty (60) day period, but in no
event later than one hundred eighty (180) days). If Seller is unable to cure said default within said cure period, Buyers sole recourse against Seller shall be to file an action or proceeding against Seller for the actual damages
(excluding any consequential or punitive damages) suffered by Buyer as a direct result of such default. No action or proceeding thereon of any kind whatsoever shall be valid or



15



---

enforceable, at law or in equity, if not commenced in the appropriate jurisdiction within one (1) year after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the total liability of Seller for breach of warranty discovered after the Closing Date will never exceed, in the aggregate, $500,000, except to the extent caused by Sellers intentional misconduct.

Section 13. Condemnation or Destruction.

13.1 Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any material part of the Property is subject to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the power of eminent domain, or is taken by eminent domain
or condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, then Buyer, by written notice to Seller, to be received within twenty (20) calendar days of Buyers receiving Sellers notice of such threat, condemnation or taking, but no later than the
Closing Date, may elect to terminate this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 13.1, a material part of the Property will have been taken by condemnation or be under threat of condemnation if the loss of such part of the
Property would have a material and adverse impact on access to the Property or operation of the Property as contemplated by Buyer.

13.2
Damage or Destruction. If, prior to the Closing, all or any material part of the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Seller agrees to give Buyer immediate written notice of such occurrence and the nature and extent of
such damage and destruction, and Buyer, by written notice to Seller, to be received within twenty (20) calendar days of Buyers receipt of Sellers notice of such damage or destruction, but no later than the Closing Date, may elect to
terminate this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 13.2, a material part of the Property will have been damage or destroyed if Sellers estimate of the cost to repair such damage exceeds $327,500.

13.3 Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as a result of the provisions of either Section 13.1 or Section 13.2 hereof, Buyer
shall be entitled to receive a refund of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent, whereupon the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such termination.

13.4 Awards and Proceeds. If Buyer does not elect (or is not entitled) to terminate this Agreement following any notice of a threat of taking or
taking by condemnation or notice of damage or destruction to the Property, as provided above, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the conveyance of the Property contemplated herein, less any interest taken by eminent domain or
condemnation, or sale in lieu thereof, shall be effected with no further adjustments. At the Closing, Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyer all of Sellers right, title and interest in and to any awards, payments or insurance
proceeds for the actual value of the property lost or destroyed, up to but not in excess of the Purchase Price, that have been or may thereafter be made for any such taking, sale in lieu thereof or damage or destruction, to the extent such awards,
payments or proceeds shall not have theretofore been used for restoration of the Property pursuant to a plan of restoration approved in advance in writing by Buyer. Seller shall also credit Buyer in cash at Closing for any deductible amount with
respect to any insurance proceeds implicated by such damage or destruction.

Section 14. Assignment.

14.1 Assignment by Buyer. Except as herein expressly provided, Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, which Seller may
withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, assign any of Buyers rights hereunder or any part thereof to any person, firm, partnership, corporation or other entity, other than a parent, affiliate or subsidiary, or an affiliate or subsidiary
of a parent, of Buyer or a real estate investment trust sponsored by Buyer. If any assignment requiring Sellers consent is made with the consent of Seller, or if any assignment not requiring Sellers consent is made, then the sale
contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated in the name of, and by and through the authorized officials of, any such assignee, but Buyer shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement.

14.2 Assignment by Seller. From and after the Contract Date, Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent Buyer may
withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, assign, transfer, convey, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its right, title or interest in or to the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the right to assign,
transfer or convey, without Buyers consent, Sellers right, title or interest in or to the Property (or any portion thereof) to any parent, affiliate or subsidiary of Seller, provided that Seller remains responsible for the performance of
its covenants and obligations under this Agreement.

Section 15. Buyers Representation and Warranty. Buyer does
hereby represent and warrant to Seller as of the Contract Date and the Closing Date that it is a validly formed corporation under the laws of the State of Illinois; that it is in good standing in the state of its organization and qualified to do
business in the Commonwealth of Virginia; that it is not subject to any involuntary proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation thereof; that it has all requisite authorizations to enter into this Agreement with Seller and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby; and that the parties executing this Agreement on behalf of Buyer are duly authorized to so do.

Section 16. Broker and Brokers Commission.

16.1 If Closing actually occurs, Seller shall pay to Broker a
commission, out of the Sellers proceeds at Closing, in accordance with a separate agreement between Seller and Broker. Broker shall only be entitled to such commission if and when the transaction contemplated herein actually closes. Buyer
shall have no responsibility for payment of such commission.

16.2 Buyer and Seller each warrant and represent to the other that, with the
exception of the Broker, such party has not employed or otherwise engaged a real estate broker or agent in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from any loss or cost suffered
or incurred by it as a result of the others representation herein being untrue. This Section 16 shall expressly survive the Closing hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

18.1 Governing Law; Headings; Rules of Construction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without reference to the conflicts of laws or choice of law
provisions thereof. The titles of sections and subsections herein have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions herein. All references
herein to the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa. The parties agree that this Agreement is the result of negotiation by the parties, each of whom was represented by counsel, and thus, this Agreement shall not be construed against the
maker thereof.

18.2 No Waiver. Neither the failure of either party to exercise any power given such party hereunder or to insist
upon strict compliance by the other party with its obligations hereunder, nor any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof shall constitute a waiver of either partys right to demand exact compliance with the terms
hereof.

18.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the Property and
the subject matter hereof, and no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein or incorporated herein by reference shall be of any force or effect.

and understandings of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and superseding all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements of such parties. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any
person or circumstance shall for any reason and to any extent be held to be invalid or unenforceable, then such term or provision shall be ignored, and to the maximum extent possible, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, but
