Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 The undersigned (the

Company pursuant to this Contribution and Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) and the Company’s Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”). 

The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the Company has not retained counsel to represent the interests of the Subscribers, and that
each Subscriber should consult with its own legal, tax and investment advisors regarding a potential purchase of Units. 
 The Subscriber
acknowledges that the Subscriber is not acting on the basis of any representations or warranties other than those contained herein and understands that the offering of the Units (the “Offering”) is being made pursuant to one or more
exemptions from registration and without registration of the Units under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any securities, “blue sky” or other similar laws of any state (“State Securities
Laws”). 







 The Subscriber understands that the Company has been formed by Wheeler Real Estate Investment
Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“REIT”) which is the general partner of the Company. The Subscriber has been provided a copy of and an opportunity to review the Company’s Private Placement Memorandum dated October 21, 2013
in connection with the Offering. 
 1. Basic Transaction and Consideration. The Company is offering the Units pursuant hereto in
consideration for the contribution by Subscriber to the Company of all of its membership interests (“Membership Interests”) in Fairfield Investors, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Property Owner”). The Property Owner
is the owner of certain real property and improvements located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. 
 2. Contribution and Subscription. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, Subscriber shall contribute, sell, assign and
transfer all of its Membership Interests to the Company in consideration for the issuance by the Company to Subscriber of that number of Units equal to (x) Subscriber’s Sale Percentage (as defined below) in the Property Owner multiplied by
(y) the Property Owner Valuation (as defined below) divided by (z) the per share closing price of the REIT’s common stock as of the date prior to the date of the “Closing” (defined below). “Sale Percentage” means
the percentage of net proceeds that would be distributed to Subscriber as a member of the Property Owner, in accordance with the Property Owner’s operating agreement as in effect immediately prior to Closing, upon the sale of all or
substantially all of the Property Owner’s assets for an amount equal to the Property Owner Valuation. “Property Owner Valuation” means the aggregate purchase price for 100% of the Membership Interests in the Property Owner, which
shall be $726,297 plus or minus such customary credits, pro rations and other adjustments for operating costs and liabilities as may be agreed by the Company and the manager of the Property Owner in connection with Closing (as defined below).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the undersigned has elected Option B pursuant to the Consent and Election in the form attached hereto as Appendix A (“Consent and Election”), the Company shall deliver cash payment to
the undersigned in an amount equal to the undersigned’s Sale Percentage multiplied by the Property Owner Valuation, minus any applicable withholding taxes. The Units issued or cash paid, as applicable, are referred to as the “Transfer
Consideration.” 
 (b) The undersigned agrees that this Subscription Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall survive the death,
dissolution or legal incapacity of the Subscriber. 
 (c) The Company has entered into separate but substantially identical Contribution and
Subscription Agreements in connection with this Offering (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and, together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with other purchasers (the “Other
Purchasers”), providing for the issuance to the 

  
 2 








 
Other Purchasers of the Company’s securities and the admission of the Other Purchasers to the Company as limited partners. This Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements
are separate agreements, and the sales of the Company’s securities to the Subscriber and the Other Purchasers are to be separate sales. 

(d) The Transfer Consideration described in Section 2 shall be issued or paid, as applicable, at Closing to the Property Owner’s
manager or an account designated by the Property Owner’s manager, for further distribution by such manager to the undersigned following Closing. 

3. General Consent and Waiver. 

(a) The undersigned consents to the sale and transfer of its Membership Interests on the terms set forth herein and to the sale and transfer
of the other membership interests in the Property Owner on substantially the terms described herein, and expressly waives any and all consent rights, rights of first refusal, appraisal rights or other similar rights or restrictions on transfer,
including without limitation those set forth in the operating agreement of the Property Owner. The undersigned hereby releases and forever discharges the Company, the Property Owner, and their respective members, partners, directors, officers,
managers, agents, attorneys, and representatives, of and from any and all manner of actions, claims, causes of action, suits, debts, demands, sums of money, controversies, damages, judgments, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities and obligations, of
any nature whatsoever, including but not limited to those arising from any membership interest in the Property Owner, any rights, title or interest therein, or any distribution, compensation, bonus, options or remuneration of any type or nature
whatsoever, whether arising at law, in equity or otherwise, which such person may now or, hereafter can, shall or may have, against any of them, arising on or prior to the date hereof. 

(b) Each Subscriber who has selected Option A pursuant to the attached Consent and Election, upon execution hereof shall be deemed to have
executed and delivered the Partnership Agreement of the Company, and upon acceptance of this Subscription Agreement by the Company and Closing (as defined below), Subscriber shall be bound by the Partnership Agreement and subject to all rights and
obligations thereof. 
 4. Acceptance of Subscription. The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that (a) the Company has the
unconditional right, exercisable in its sole and absolute discretion, to accept (in whole or in part) or reject this Subscription Agreement, (b) this Subscription Agreement shall not be valid or binding unless and until accepted by the Company,
(c) this Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company only when it is signed by an authorized signatory on behalf of the Company, and (d) notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the
Company shall have no obligation to issue any Units under any circumstances that may constitute a violation of the Securities Act or any State Securities Laws or any other statutes, laws, rules or regulations (the “Laws”). The Company will

Virginia with full power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted. 
 (b) The Units have been duly authorized by the

 6.
Representations and Warranties of the Subscriber. 
 (a) Each Subscriber who has selected Option A pursuant to the attached Consent
and Election hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with the Company as follows: 
 (i) Accuracy of Information. All of the
information provided by the Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement is true, correct and complete in all respects, and the Company shall be entitled to rely thereon. Any other information the Subscriber has provided to the Company about
the Subscriber is correct and complete as of the date of this Subscription Agreement. 
 (ii) Disclosure Advice. The Subscriber has
either consulted the Subscriber’s own investment adviser, attorney or accountant about the investment and proposed purchase of any Units and its suitability to the Subscriber or chosen not to do so, despite the recommendation of that course of
action by the Company. To the extent necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at the Subscriber’s own expense, and relied upon, appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits, risks and consequences of this
Subscription Agreement and of purchasing and owning the Units. Any special acknowledgment set forth herein shall not be deemed to limit the generality of this representation and warranty. 

The Subscriber has received a copy of the form of the Partnership Agreement of the Company, and the Subscriber understands the risks of, and
other considerations relating to, a purchase of any Units, including that by its execution hereof, the undersigned shall become a party to, and bound by the Partnership Agreement. The Subscriber has been given access to, and prior to the execution
of this Subscription Agreement the Subscriber was provided with an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company’s officers and directors concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Units, and to obtain any
other information which the Subscriber and the Subscriber’s investment representative and professional advisors requested with respect to the Company and the Subscriber’s investment in the Company in order to evaluate the Subscriber’s
investment and verify the accuracy of all information furnished to the Subscriber regarding the Company. All such questions, if asked, were answered satisfactorily and all information or documents provided were found to be satisfactory.

 (iii) Investment Representation and Warranty. The Subscriber is acquiring the
Subscriber’s Units for the Subscriber’s own account or for one or more separate accounts maintained by the Subscriber or for the account of one or more pension or trust funds of which the Subscriber is trustee as to which the Subscriber is
the sole qualified professional asset manager within the meaning of Prohibited Transaction Exemption 84-14 (a “QPAM”) for the assets being committed hereunder, in each case not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution
of all or any part of such Units. The Subscriber hereby agrees that the Subscriber will not, directly or indirectly, assign, transfer, offer, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Units (or solicit any offers to
buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of all or any part of the Units) except in accordance with the registration provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration provisions, with any applicable state or other
securities laws, and with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. If the Subscriber is purchasing for the account of one or more pension or trust funds, the Subscriber represents that (except to the extent the Subscriber has otherwise advised the
Company in writing prior to the date hereof) the Subscriber is acting as sole trustee or sole QPAM for the assets being committed hereunder and has sole investment discretion with respect to the acquisition of the Units to be purchased by the
Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, and the determination and decision on the Subscriber’s behalf to purchase such Units for such pension or trust funds is being made by the same individual or group of individuals who
customarily pass on such investments, so that the Subscriber’s decision as to purchases for all such funds is the result of such study and conclusion. The Subscriber has not offered or sold any portion of the Units and has no present intention
of dividing such Units with others or of reselling or otherwise disposing of any portion of such Units either currently or after the passage of a fixed or determinable period of time or upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any predetermined event
or circumstance. 
 (iv) Representation of Investment Experience and Ability to Bear Risk. The Subscriber (A) is knowledgeable
and experienced with respect to the financial, tax and business aspects of the ownership of the Units and/or the REIT Shares and of the business contemplated by the Company and the REIT, and is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of
purchasing the Units and, in making a decision to proceed with this investment, has not relied upon any representations, warranties or agreements, other than those set forth in this Subscription Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, if any, and
(B) can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time, and can afford to suffer the complete loss thereof.

 7. Restrictions on Transfer or Sale of the Units. 

(a) The Subscriber is acquiring the Units solely for the Subscriber’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with view
to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Units. The Subscriber understands that the offer and the sale of the Units has not been registered under the Securities Act or any State Securities Laws by reason of specific exemptions
under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of the Subscriber and of the other representations made by the Subscriber in this Subscription Agreement. The Subscriber understands that the Company is relying upon the
representations, covenants and agreements contained in this Subscription Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purposes of determining whether this transaction satisfies the requirements for such exemptions. 

(b) The Subscriber understands that the Units are “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and that the
Securities Act and the rules of the SEC provide in substance that the Subscriber may dispose of the Units only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and the Subscriber understands that
the Company shall have no obligation to register any of the Units purchased by the Subscriber hereunder (or the shares of the REIT’s common stock exchangeable for the Units) or to take action so as to permit sales pursuant to the Securities Act
(including Rule 144 thereunder) except as may be set forth in the Company’s Partnership Agreement. 
 (c) The Subscriber agrees that:
(A) the Subscriber will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Units or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of the Units under the
Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws; and (B) the Company shall not be required to give
effect to any purported transfer of any of the Units except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions. 
 (d) Subscriber acknowledges
that (i) the Units are not redeemable or exchangeable for cash or REIT Shares for a minimum of twelve (12) months after the date of issuance, and (ii) the Units have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, unless
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available, must be held (and the Subscriber must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment in the REIT Shares and/or Units) indefinitely and may not be transferred
or sold. 
 (e) The Units are subject to restrictions on beneficial and constructive ownership and transfer for the purpose of the
REIT’s maintenance of its status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to certain further restrictions and except as expressly provided in the REIT’s charter,
(i) no person may beneficially or constructively own shares of the REIT’s common stock in excess of 9.9% (in value or number of shares) of the outstanding shares of common stock of the REIT unless such person is an excepted holder (in
which case the excepted holder limit shall be applicable); (ii) no person may beneficially or constructively own shares of capital stock of the REIT in excess of 

  
 11 








 
9.9% of the value of the total outstanding shares of capital stock of the REIT, unless such person is an excepted holder (in which case the excepted holder limit shall be applicable);
(iii) no person may beneficially or constructively own capital stock that would result in the REIT being “closely held” under section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the REIT to fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust;
and (iv) no person may transfer shares of capital stock if such transfer would result in the capital stock of the REIT being owned by fewer than 100 persons.

indemnification contained in this Paragraph shall survive (i) the acceptance of the Subscription Agreement by the Company, (ii) changes in any transactions, documents and instruments, including the Partnership Agreement, which are not

the Units. The Subscriber hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, and the directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons of the Company, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs), judgments or amounts paid in settlement of actions arising out of or resulting from the untruth of any representation in this Subscription Agreement or the breach of any warranty or covenant
contained in this Subscription Agreement.

statements. Any forward-looking statements contained in any such informational materials were based on current expectations involving many risks and uncertainties, especially in light of the nature of the
Company and its business. The Company’s actual financial results may differ materially from any results which might be projected, forecast, estimated or budgeted by the Company in forward-looking

 12 








 
the organizational documents of the Property Owner to the extent the terms herein conflict with the terms thereof, including without limitation, terms with respect to allocations, distributions
and the like. In the event the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not occur, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be or construed as an amendment or modification of, or commitment of any kind to amend or modify, the
organizational documents of the Property Owner, which shall remain in full force and effect without modification. 
 11. Conditions to
