 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, WHEELER REAL
ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC., a Maryland corporation (hereinafter called “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to OPPORTUNITY PARTNERS L.P. (the “Holder”) or its registered assigns or successors in interest or
order, without demand, the sum of $705,000 (“Principal Amount”), on December 15, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”), if not sooner paid in accordance with the terms of this convertible promissory note. 

This Amended Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) has been entered into pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated December 16, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”), and shall be governed by the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Unless otherwise separately defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the
same meaning as is set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The following terms shall apply to this Note: 

  
 2 








 ARTICLE I 

INTEREST 
 1.1.
Interest Rate. Interest on this Note shall compound monthly and shall accrue at the annual rate of nine percent (9%). Interest will be payable monthly in arrears. Upon thirty (30) calendar days’ notice, the Borrower may prepay any
portion of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, without penalty. During such 30 calendar day notice period, the Holder shall have the right to convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding Principal
Amount of this Note, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, into shares of the Borrower’s common stock, as provided in Section 2.1. Any Convertible Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) not then converted shall be subject to
prepayment. 
 ARTICLE II 

CONVERSION RIGHTS 
 2.1.
Borrower’s Conversion Rights. 
 (a) Subject to Section 2.2, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, into shares of the Borrower’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Conversion
Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article II, at the rate of the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 2.1(b) below), as the same may be adjusted pursuant to this Note. The Holder may exercise such right
by delivery to the Borrower of a written Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.3. 
 (b) The Holder may exercise its right to
convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and any accrued but unpaid interest into the Conversion Shares at any time prior to the repayment in full of the Note. The Conversion Price for such conversions shall be
equal to the lesser of (i) the product of (A) the Market Price for the Borrower’s shares of common stock and (B) ninety percent (90%), and (ii) $5.50 per share. For purposes of this section, “Market Price” is
defined (i) in the case for which a public market exists for the Borrower’s shares of common stock at the time of such exercise, at a price per share equal to (A) the average of the means between the closing bid and asked prices of
the shares in the over-the-counter market for 20 consecutive business days commencing 30 business days before the date of Notice of Conversion, (B) if the shares are quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market, at the average of the means of the daily
closing bid and asked prices of the shares for 20 consecutive business days commencing 30 business days before the date of such notice, or (C) if the shares are listed on any other national securities exchange, at the average of the daily
closing prices of the shares for 20 consecutive business days commencing 30 business days before the date of such notice, and (ii) in the case no public market exists at the time of such exercise, at the Appraised Value. For the purposes of
this Note, “Appraised Value” is the value determined in accordance with the following procedures. For a period of five (5) days after the date of an event (a “Valuation Event”) requiring determination of Market
Price at a time when no public market exists for the shares (the “Negotiation Period”), the Holder and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement upon the Appraised Value of the securities or property at issue, as


  
 3 








 
of the date of the Valuation Event, which will be the fair market value of such securities or property, without premium for control or discount for minority interests, illiquidity or restrictions
on transfer. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon the Appraised Value of such securities or other property by the end of the Negotiation Period, then the Appraised Value of such securities or property will be determined for
purposes of this Note by a recognized appraisal or investment banking firm mutually agreeable to the Holder and the Borrower (the “Appraiser”). If the Holder and the Borrower cannot agree on an Appraiser within two (2) business days
after the end of the Negotiation Period, the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Holder, on the other hand, will each select an Appraiser within ten (10) business days after the end of the Negotiation Period and those Appraisers will determine
Appraised Value, without premium for control or discount for minority interests, illiquidity or restrictions on transfer. Such independent Appraiser(s) will be directed to determine the Appraised Value as soon as practicable, but in no event later
than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of its selection. The determination by Appraiser(s) of the Appraised Value will be conclusive and binding on all parties to this Note. If there are two Appraisers, and they do not agree as to the
Appraised Value, then the Appraised Value shall be determined to be the average of the Appraised Values as determined by each Appraiser. Appraised Value of each share at a time when (i) the Borrower is not a reporting company under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (ii) the shares are not traded in the organized securities markets, will, in all cases, be calculated by determining the Appraised Value of the Borrower taken as a whole and dividing that value
by the number of shares then outstanding, without premium for control or discount for minority interests, illiquidity or restrictions on transfer. The costs of the Appraiser(s) will be borne by the Borrower. 

2.2. Conversion Limitation. The maximum number of shares of the Borrower’s common stock that may be issued upon conversion of all
the Convertible Notes shall be 1,417,079. The maximum number of shares of the Borrower’s common stock that may be issued upon conversion of this particular Note shall be 333,013. 

2.3. Mechanics of Conversion. 

(a) In the event that the Holder elects to convert any amounts outstanding under this Note into Conversion Shares, the Holder shall give
notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (a “Notice of Conversion”) to the Borrower, which Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount,
accrued interest and amounts being converted. The original Note is not required to be surrendered until all sums due under the Note have been paid. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the
Borrower shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid interest as entered in its records. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Borrower in accordance with the provisions
hereof shall be deemed a “Conversion Date.” A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A. 

(b) Pursuant to the terms of a Notice of Conversion, the Borrower will issue instructions to its transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of
counsel (if so required by the 

  
 4 








 
Borrower’s transfer agent), and, except as otherwise provided below, shall cause the transfer agent to promptly transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder
(the “Delivery Date”). 
 2.4. Conversion Mechanics. 

(a) The number of shares of common stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note pursuant to this Article II shall be determined by
dividing that portion of the Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid interest to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Conversion Price. 

(b) The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows: 
 A. Merger, Sale of
Assets, etc. If (A) the Borrower effects any merger or consolidation of the Borrower with or into another entity, (B) the Borrower effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions,
(C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Borrower or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of its shares of common stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of common stock for other securities, cash
or property, (D) the Borrower consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more persons or entities
whereby such other persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the Borrower’s outstanding shares of common stock (not including any common stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with
the other persons or entities making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), (E) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act)
is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate shares of common stock of the Borrower, or (F) the Borrower effects any reclassification of its
common stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the common stock are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), this Note, as to the
unpaid Principal Amount thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into such number and kind of shares or other securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of
such Fundamental Transaction, upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions of a similar
nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such Fundamental Transaction. 

B. Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change its common stock into the same
or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid Principal Portion hereof and accrued interest hereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to convert into an adjusted


  
 5 








 
number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the common stock immediately prior to such reclassification or other
change. 
 C. Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the common stock of the Borrower is subdivided or combined into a greater
or smaller number of shares of common stock, or if a dividend is paid on the common stock in additional common stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately
increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of ordinary shares outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of ordinary shares outstanding immediately prior to such
event. 
 (c) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.4(b) above, the Borrower shall promptly mail to the
Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. 

2.5. Reservation. During the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued common stock
not less than one hundred (100%) of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares of common stock will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable. Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary
certificates for common stock upon the conversion of this Note. 
 2.6 Issuance of Replacement Note. Upon any partial conversion of
this Note, a replacement Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the written request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and accrued interest which
shall not have been converted or paid, provided Holder has surrendered an original Note to the Borrower. In the event that the Holder elects not to surrender a Note for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the Holder hereby indemnifies the
Borrower against any and all loss or damage attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual amount then due under the Note, and the Borrower is hereby expressly authorized to offset any such amounts mutually agreed upon by
Borrower and Holder or pursuant to a judgment in Borrower’s favor against amounts then due under the Note. 
 2.7 Registration
Rights. The Holder of this Note shall be entitled to the registration rights with respect to the shares as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated December 16, 2013, to which the Holder and the Borrower are a party.
