CONDITIONS TO CLOSING 
 4.1
Seller’s Obligations. Seller will deliver to Purchaser (at Seller’s expense), within ten (10) days of the date of this Agreement, true, correct, complete and legible copies of all of the due diligence items listed on
Schedule “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein with respect to the Property (collectively, the “Due Diligence Items”) that were in Seller’s possession or under its control. Purchaser
may request additional information, documentation or materials concerning the Property from Seller at any time prior to the final Closing, and Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such additional information, documentation
or materials to Purchaser, at no cost or expense to Seller, provided it is within Seller’s possession or under its control, and further provided that the delivery or non-delivery of any such item shall in no manner extend the Approval Period,
or be deemed a default by Seller under this Agreement. 
 4.1.1 Expiration of Approval Period. 

(A) During the period commencing on the date hereof and expiring at 5:00 p.m. Central Time on August 4, 2014 (the “Approval
Period”), the following matters shall be conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement: 

(a) Purchaser’s being satisfied in Purchaser’s sole discretion that the Property is suitable for Purchaser’s
intended use; and 
 (b) Purchaser’s being satisfied, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, with all of the Due Diligence
Items. 
 Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to) terminate this Agreement as to all of the self storage facilities comprising the
Property by delivering written notice of such termination to Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the Approval Period, if, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser decides not to consummate the purchase of all of the self
storage facilities comprising the Property. In such event, this Agreement will terminate as of the date of such notice, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, without the consent or joinder of Seller being required and notwithstanding any
contrary instructions which might be provided by Seller, and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations. If any of the self storage facilities comprising the Property are identified by Purchaser to
Seller in writing prior to the expiration of the Approval Period as not being acceptable to Purchaser (the “Purchaser Excluded Properties”), but Purchaser desires to close as to the remainder of the Properties, then subject
to Seller’s written consent prior to the expiration of the Approval Period, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser will be permitted to acquire the remainder of the Properties and the parties shall proceed to
Closing as to the those Properties, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall terminate as to the 







 
Purchaser Excluded Properties, with the Purchase Price being reduced by the amount allocated to the Purchaser Excluded Properties on Schedule “C”. Seller shall
notify Purchaser in writing should Seller determine that, notwithstanding its good faith efforts, Seller is unable to obtain requisite limited partner consent for sale of any of the self storage facilities comprising the Property, whereupon such
self storage facilities shall be excluded from the Closing (“Seller Excluded Properties”), in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount allocated to the Seller Excluded Properties on Schedule
“C”. 
 (B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that the Phase I
Environmental Assessment obtained by Purchaser for any of the Properties indicates the possible existence of an environmental condition that would materially and adversely affect such Property, including without limitation (i) offsite migration
potentially generating contaminants in soils and water table affecting such Property, (ii) matters arising as a result of the previous use of such Property, and (iii) the use of such Property as a self storage facility being classified as
a generator of contamination (herein, an “Environmental Problem Property”), then Purchaser shall have the right, during the Approval Period, to terminate this Agreement as concerns any such Environmental Problem Property,
upon written notice to Seller (“Purchaser’s Environmental Notice”), but proceed to Closing with respect to the remainder of the Properties, whereupon the Purchase Price shall be adjusted in accordance with
Schedule “C” hereto, and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder as concerns any such Environmental Problem Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser elects to terminate as to an
Environmental Problem Property, Seller shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Agreement with respect to all of the other Properties (which, together with the Environmental Problem Property, shall be collectively
referred to as the “Environmental Portfolio Properties”) owned by the entity comprising Seller which also owns the Environmental Problem Property (Property ownership groups being identified on Exhibit
“A” attached hereto under “Owner Code”), upon written notice delivered by Seller to Purchaser within two (2) business days of Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s Environmental Notice (herein
referred to as “Seller’s Environmental Notice”), whereupon the Purchase Price shall be adjusted in accordance with Schedule “C” hereto, and the parties shall have no further obligations
hereunder as concerns any such Environmental Portfolio Properties, except that for a period of one year following Seller’s Environmental Notice, if Seller elects to sell one or more of the Environmental Portfolio Properties, Seller must first
offer, by written notice to Purchaser (the “Environmental Offer Notice”), to sell such property or properties to Purchaser, which sale shall be (i) upon the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for a
period of six (6) months following Seller’s Environmental Notice, and (ii) upon such terms and conditions as Seller hereafter elects to market such properties for the second six (6) month period following Seller’s
Environmental Notice (herein referred to as the “Environmental Right of First Offer”). Purchaser shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of the Environmental Offer Notice within which to accept
Seller’s offer to sell such property or properties by delivering written notice of such acceptance to Seller. If Purchaser does not elect to accept Seller’s offer to purchase such property or properties offered to Purchaser by Seller then
the Environmental Right of First Offer shall expire as to the property or properties offered; provided that the property or properties offered are sold at the price or a higher price stated in the Environmental Offer Notice. Upon the purchase of any
Environmental Portfolio Properties, the Purchaser shall pay Seller the applicable incremental percentage of the Transition Fee. The terms of this Section 4.1.1(B) shall survive Closing. 

(C) If, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser determines that it desires to consummate the purchase of all the self
storage facilities comprising the Property or, with Seller’s consent, on all of the Property exclusive of the Purchaser Excluded Properties, then Purchaser shall give written notice thereof (the “Closing Notice”) to
Seller, prior to the expiration of the Approval Period, which Closing Notice shall designate the self storage facilities comprising the Property for Closing. This Agreement automatically shall terminate as to all Purchaser Excluded Properties
consented to by Seller, 







 
any Environmental Problem Property, any Environmental Portfolio Properties and any Seller Excluded Properties identified prior to Closing. The parties shall execute an amendment or amendments to
this Agreement, in form attached hereto as Exhibit “H” (the “Removal Amendment”), reflecting any (i) Purchaser Excluded Properties consented to by Seller, (ii) Seller Excluded
Properties, (iii) Environmental Problem Property and/or Environmental Portfolio Properties with respect to which this Agreement has been terminated, (iv) “Title Objection Property” and/or “Title Portfolio Properties”
(as defined in Section 4.1.2 below) with respect to which this Agreement has been terminated, and (v) Dahn Interest Parcels (as defined in Section 4.4(a)(i) below) with respect to which this Agreement has been
terminated. 
 (D) If Purchaser does not give Seller the Closing Notice prior to the expiration of the Approval Period and has not
previously terminated this Agreement by written notice to Seller, then this Agreement automatically shall terminate upon the expiration of the Approval Period, and, in such event, the Title Company shall return all of the Earnest Money to Purchaser,
without the consent or joinder of Seller being required and notwithstanding any contrary instructions which might be provided by Seller, and neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations. 

4.1.2 Title Commitments. Seller shall convey good and marketable title to the Property to Purchaser at Closing, subject only to the
“Permitted Encumbrances” (defined below). Purchaser has ordered a title commitment for each of the self storage facilities comprising the Property (collectively, the “Title Commitments”) for an ALTA Owner’s
Policy of Title Insurance for each such self storage facility (collectively, the “Title Policies”), issued by the Title Company, insuring good and marketable fee simple title to the Property, together with copies of all
exceptions listed therein. Purchaser shall have fifteen (15) business days following its receipt of the Title Commitments, legible copies of all exceptions listed therein and the “Surveys” (as defined in Section 4.1.3),
but in no event later than the last day of the Approval Period, to deliver to Seller a written notice of Purchaser’s objections to title for each parcel described in Section 1.1(a) (the “Parcel”) comprising a portion of
the Property (individually, a “Title Objection Letter”). Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure Purchaser’s objections to title; subject, however, to Seller’s obligation to remove all
“Monetary Liens” (as defined below in this Section 4.1.2) by Closing. Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within five (5) business days following Seller’s receipt of a Title Objection Letter
concerning which title objections, if any, Seller has agreed to cure. In the event that Seller does not undertake to cure all of the objections in each such Title Objection Letter to Purchaser’s sole satisfaction (or does not timely respond to
any such Title Objection Letter), then each self storage facility comprising the Property with respect to which Seller has not agreed to cure all of Purchaser’s title objections shall be herein referred to as a “Title Objection
Property”. Purchaser shall have the right for ten (10) business days after receipt of Seller’s response to each Title Objection Letter relating to a Title Objection Property (or five (5) business days following the
expiration of the period within which Seller was to so respond) to either (i) waive any such title objection in writing (in which event such waived title objection shall be deemed to be a Permitted Encumbrance (as defined below in this
Section 4.1.2), or (ii) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller (“Purchaser’s Title Notice”) with respect to such Title Objection Property (or Title Objection Properties, as the case may
be), whereupon (a) the parties shall proceed to Closing with respect to the remainder of the Property, with the Purchase Price being reduced by the portion of the Purchase Price allocable to such Title Objection Property (or Title Objection
Properties, as the case may be) with respect to which this Agreement is being terminated, as set forth on Schedule “C” attached hereto, and (b) neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder
with respect to such Title Objection Property (or Title Objection Properties, as the case may be) with respect to which this Agreement is being terminated, other than the Surviving Obligations relating thereto. All exceptions set forth in Schedule B
of the Title Commitments which are not objected to by Purchaser (including matters initially objected to by Purchaser which objections are subsequently waived in writing) are herein collectively called the “Permitted
Encumbrances”. In the event that any update to any of the Title Commitments indicates the existence of any liens, encumbrances or other defects or exceptions (the “Unacceptable Encumbrances”) which are








 
not shown in the initial Title Commitments and that are unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall within ten (10) business days after receipt of any such update to such Title Commitment
notify Seller in writing of its objection to any such Unacceptable Encumbrance (the “Unacceptable Encumbrance Notice”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall have no obligation to take any
steps or bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any expense whatsoever to eliminate or modify any of the Unacceptable Encumbrances; provided, however, that Seller shall, prior to Closing, eliminate by paying, bonding around or
otherwise discharging in a manner satisfactory to Purchaser (i) any Unacceptable Encumbrances that arise by, through or under Seller, and (ii) any mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, mechanics’ liens or monetary judgments
that appear on any of the Title Commitments (collectively, “Monetary Liens”). In the event Seller is unable, unwilling or for any reason fails to eliminate or modify all of the Unacceptable Encumbrances to the sole
satisfaction of Purchaser (other than the Unacceptable Encumbrances and Monetary Liens required to be removed by Seller in accordance with the preceding sentence), Purchaser may terminate this Agreement as to the Title Objection Property in question
by delivering notice thereof in writing to Seller by the earliest to occur of (i) the applicable Closing Date, (ii) ten (10) business days after Seller’s written notice to Purchaser of Seller’s intent to not cure one or more
of such Unacceptable Encumbrances, or (iii) ten (10) business days after the Unacceptable Encumbrance Notice, in the event Seller does not timely respond thereto. Upon a termination of this Agreement with respect to a Title Objection
Property (or Title Objection Properties, as the case may be) pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, (y) the parties shall proceed to Closing with respect to the remainder of the Property, with the Purchase Price being reduced by the
portion of the Purchase Price allocable to the applicable Title Objection Property (or Title Objection Properties, as the case may be) with respect to which this Agreement is being terminated, as set forth on Schedule
“C” attached hereto, and (z) neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder with respect to the applicable Title Objection Property (or Title Objection Properties, as the case may be) with respect to
which this Agreement is being terminated, other than the Surviving Obligations relating thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as to a Title Objection Property, Seller shall have the right, in its
sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Agreement with respect to all of the other Properties (which, together with the Title Objection Property, shall be collectively referred to as the “Title Portfolio Properties”)
owned by the entity comprising Seller which also owns the Title Objection Property, upon written notice delivered by Seller to Purchaser within two (2) business days of Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s Title Notice (herein referred to
as “Seller’s Title Notice”), whereupon the Purchase Price shall be adjusted in accordance with Schedule “C” hereto, and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder as concerns
any such Title Portfolio Properties, except that for a period of one year following Seller’s Notice, if Seller elects to sell one or more of the Title Portfolio Properties, Seller must first offer, by written notice to Purchaser (the
“Title Offer Notice”), to sell such property or properties to Purchaser, which sale shall be (i) upon the same terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for a period of six (6) months following Seller’s
Title Notice, and (ii) upon such terms and conditions as Seller hereafter elects to market such properties for the second six (6) month period following Seller’s Title Notice (herein referred to as the “Title Right of First
Offer”). Purchaser shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of the Title Offer Notice within which to accept Seller’s offer to sell such property or properties by delivering written notice of such acceptance to
Seller. If Purchaser does not elect to accept Seller’s offer to purchase such property or properties offered to Purchaser by Seller then the Title Right of First Offer shall expire as to the property or properties offered; provided that the
property or properties offered are sold at the price or a higher price stated in the Title Offer Notice. Upon the purchase of any Title Portfolio Properties, the Purchaser shall pay Seller the applicable incremental percentage of the Transition Fee.
The terms of this Section 4.1.2 shall survive Closing. 
 4.1.3 Surveys. During the Approval Period Purchaser, at its
sole cost and expense, shall order a current, as-built survey prepared by a registered surveyor acceptable to Purchaser for each Parcel comprising the Property (collectively, the “Surveys”), which may be an update of the
existing surveys delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.1. 







 4.1.4 Contracts. Purchaser shall notify Seller prior to the expiration of the Approval
Period which of the Contracts (as defined in Section 4.4(a)(vi) below) Purchaser will require Seller to cancel at Closing (the “Rejected Contracts”), and Seller hereby agrees to cancel same not later than the date
of each applicable Closing, at Seller’s sole cost and expense. Any Contracts which are not assignable shall be the sole responsibility of Seller, shall be cancelled by Seller on or before the applicable Closing, and Seller shall and hereby
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless from any and all liability relating thereto, which indemnification obligation expressly shall survive Closing. Any Contracts assigned to Purchaser shall be the sole responsibility of Purchaser
following the applicable Closing, and Purchaser shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any and all liability relating thereto accruing from and after Closing, which indemnification obligation expressly shall
survive the Closings. 
 4.2 Inspection. During the Approval Period, at any time and from time to time during normal business hours
(and thereafter through the Closing Date), upon forty eight (48) hours prior notice to Seller, which may be verbal, Purchaser may inspect, test, and survey: (a) the Property and any and all portions thereof, including physical and
mechanical inspections, (b) all financial and other records pertaining to the operation of the Property, including, but not limited to, all books, records, documents, accounting and management reports of Seller, and (c) originals of all
Leases and Contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser must obtain Seller’s prior written approval of the scope and method of any environmental testing or investigation (other than a Phase I environmental site assessment, which shall
require no consent or approval of any kind), prior to Purchaser’s commencement of such inspections or testing. Seller shall cooperate in good faith with Purchaser, Purchaser’s agents and independent contractors in connection with all such
inspections, tests and surveys, including obtaining all necessary tenant consents and/or providing adequate notice to tenants regarding Purchaser’s entry into leased areas on the Property, and making available during normal business hours all
relevant personnel to answer any questions which Purchaser may have regarding the Property. Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole expense, shall repair any and all damage resulting from any of the tests, studies, inspections and investigations
performed by or on behalf of Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.2, and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against all claims for bodily injury or property damage which may be asserted against Seller
arising out of the tests, studies, inspections and investigations performed by Purchaser hereunder, which obligation of indemnification shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement. Prior to any entry onto the Property by Purchaser or
any of its agents, Purchaser shall furnish Seller with evidence that Purchaser maintains a policy of general liability insurance providing premises/operations coverage included under the per occurrence/general aggregate coverage, having a combined

Date or final Closing. 
 Seller and Purchaser agree that the Closing shall be consummated through an escrow closing with the Title Company
acting as escrow agent, and neither party need be present at Closing. Wherever used in this Agreement, (i) the “Closing Date” shall be deemed to mean the First Closing Date, the Second Closing Date or the Third Closing

attributable to the period from and after Closing. In the event the proration of rentals is being made pursuant to Section 6.3(a)(ii) above, then for a period of thirty (30) days
following Closing, if any rents which are delinquent as of Closing are actually received by Purchaser, in good funds, all such amounts shall first be applied to post-closing rents and other amounts due to
Purchaser for the period from and after Closing, and the balance shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller within thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof, to the extent, and only to the extent of any rental delinquencies owed by

rentals that are received by Purchaser following Closing shall be retained by Purchaser, and Seller shall have no rights with respect thereto, and (z) in the event that rentals are prorated pursuant to Section 6.3(a)(ii) above, then

the apportionment of taxes shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the preceding year, including all matters appearing on the tax bill for such year, whether ad valorem or non-ad valorem, applied to the latest assessed valuation. The proration
shall allow for any available discount. Subsequent to the Closing, when the tax rate and the assessed valuation of the Property are fixed for the year in which the Closing occurs, the parties agree to adjust the proration of taxes and, if necessary,
to refund or repay such sums as shall be necessary to effect such adjustment, which obligation expressly shall survive Closing.

which this Agreement has been terminated, other than the Surviving Obligations, (ii) pursue the remedy of specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) receive a refund of the Earnest Money in the case

DAMAGES (AND NOT AS A PENALTY). SELLER AND PURCHASER HAVE MADE THIS PROVISION FOR LIQUIDATED DAMAGES BECAUSE IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE TO CALCULATE, ON THE DATE HEREOF, THE AMOUNT OF ACTUAL DAMAGES FOR SUCH BREACH, AND SELLER
AND PURCHASER AGREE THAT THE EARNEST MONEY REPRESENTS A REASONABLE FORECAST OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN PLACING THEIR INITIALS AT THE PLACES PROVIDED, EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMS THE ACCURACY OF THE STATEMENTS MADE ABOVE AND THE FACT THAT EACH PARTY
WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS MADE. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF
CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369 (OR ANY SIMILAR LAW(S) APPLICABLE TO ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED IN STATES OTHER THAN CALIFORNIA), BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE
SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677 (OR ANY SIMILAR LAW(S) APPLICABLE TO ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED IN STATES OTHER THAN CALIFORNIA).

 8.3 Notice and Cure. In the event of a default by Seller or Purchaser under this Agreement, the
non-defaulting party shall provide the defaulting party with notice and ten (10) days to cure such default, prior to pursuing any remedies available with respect to such default; provided, however, that (i) no such notice and cure period
shall be provided with respect to a party’s default in failing to timely close, or with respect to any party’s anticipatory breach of this Agreement, and (ii) in no event shall any such notice and cure period result in an extension of
the Closing Date.

 9.2 Real Estate Fees. Pursuant to a separate written agreement, Seller has agreed to pay
Bancap Self Storage Group, Inc. (“Bancap”), a real estate commission and/or advisor fee upon consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Except for Seller’s agreement with Bancap, Seller and Purchaser hereby
represent and warrant to each other that neither such party has authorized any broker or finder to act on such party’s behalf in connection with the sale and purchase hereunder and neither Seller nor Purchaser has dealt with any broker or
finder purporting to act on behalf of any other party. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses of any kind or character arising out of or resulting from
any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to have been made by Purchaser or on Purchaser’s behalf with any broker or finder in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby. Seller agrees to indemnify, defend
and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses of any kind or character arising out of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to have been made by Seller or on
Seller’s behalf with any broker or finder in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby, including Bancap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 9.2 shall survive the
Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement. 
 9.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between
the parties relative to the subject matter hereof, and there are no oral or written agreements between the parties, nor any representations made by either party relative to the subject matter hereof, which are not expressly set forth herein. 

9.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. 

9.5 Headings and References. The captions and headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not in any way limit,
amplify, or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement. References to any “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” are with regard to those such items set forth in this Agreement. 

9.6 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement; however, if the final date of any period which is set out in any
provision of this Agreement falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the United States or any of the States in which the Property is located, then, in such event, the time of such period shall be extended to the next day which
is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. 
 9.7 Governing Law and Venue. 

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, and the transfer of title to the Property shall be governed by
the applicable laws of the States of California, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, and Washington, as concerns the Property located in each such state, and by the laws of the United States pertaining to real property transactions
in such States. 
 (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts in Orange County, California, and any appellate court thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each party hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all 







 
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agree that a
final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 9.7(b) above. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

9.8 Successors and Assigns; Assignment. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser and their respective
heirs, executors, administrators, personal and legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall be entitled to assign this Agreement, without Seller’s
consent, to (i) an affiliate of Purchaser, (ii) an entity in which Strategic Storage Operating Partnership II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Strategic Storage Trust II, Inc., a Maryland corporation, SS Growth Operating Partnership,

external advisor, or (iv) a Delaware statutory trust of which Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser is the signatory trustee (any such party being herein called a “Permitted Assignee”); provided, however, that, until
the consummation of the Closing, no such assignment shall release or relieve Purchaser of any liability hereunder. Additionally, Purchaser further shall have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement to acquire any or all of the self
storage facilities comprising the Property to separate Permitted Assignees. 
 9.9 Invalid Provision. If any provision of this
Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never
comprised a part of this Agreement; and, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. 

9.10 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event it becomes necessary for either party hereto to file suit to enforce this Agreement or any
provision contained herein, the party prevailing in such suit shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other remedies or damages, as provided herein, its reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in such suit.

9.13 No Recordation. Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or affidavit thereof shall
be recorded in the public records of any county. 
 9.14. Tax-Deferred Exchange. Each party will, upon request by the other party,
cooperate as reasonably required to assist the other party in facilitating a tax-deferred exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party will be required to undertake or incur any liabilities or obligations or expend any sums of money in
connection with a proposed tax-free exchange for the benefit of the other party. 
 9.15 Confidentiality. Seller and Purchaser hereby
covenant and agree that, at all times after the date of this Agreement and continuing after the Closing, unless consented to in writing by the other party (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the party whose consent is
being requested), no press release or other public disclosure concerning this transaction shall be made by or on behalf of Seller or Purchaser, and each party agrees to use best efforts to prevent disclosure of this transaction by any third party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each party shall be entitled to make disclosures concerning this Agreement and materials provided hereunder to its lenders, attorneys, accountants, employees, agents and other service professionals as may be
reasonably necessary in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) Purchaser shall be entitled to make disclosures concerning this transaction and materials provided hereunder to its potential debt and equity sources, and
(iii) each party shall be entitled to make such disclosures concerning this Agreement and materials provided hereunder as may be 







 
necessary to comply with any court order or directive of any applicable governmental authority, or as may be required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any federal or state law. The
provisions of this Section 9.15 shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement. 
 9.16 As-Is.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and in the documents to be executed by Seller at Closing, Purchaser shall acquire the
Property from Seller at Closing in its then “as-is, where is” condition, without any other representations or warranties from Seller, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, habitability or fitness for a particular
purpose. 
 9.17 Non-Competition. Seller shall deliver a non-compete agreement (the
“Non-Compete Agreement”) to Purchaser at Closing in form and content satisfactory to Purchaser. The Non-Compete Agreement shall provide that neither Seller nor any of its General Partners or their Affiliates may directly or
indirectly develop, own, lease, manage or operate a self storage facility for a period of three (3) years subsequent to the Closing within a two and one half (2-1/2) mile radius of any of the self storage facilities comprising the Property. The
Non-Compete Agreement shall exclude any self storage facilities presently being owned or operated by Seller within the above two and one half (2-1/2) mile radius, which shall be specifically identified in the Non-Compete Agreement. 

9.18 Cooperation with Purchaser’s Auditors and SEC Filing Requirements. 

A. From the date of this Agreement through and including seventy five (75) days after the last Closing Date, Seller shall provide to
Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser access to, the books and records with respect to the ownership, management, maintenance and operation of the Property and shall furnish Purchaser with such additional
information concerning the same as Purchaser shall reasonably request and which is in the possession or control of Seller, or any of its affiliates, agents, or accountants, to enable Purchaser (or Strategic Storage Trust II,
Inc., a Maryland corporation and/or Strategic Storage Growth Trust, Inc, a Maryland corporation or their respective affiliates), to file its or their Form 8-K, if, as and when such filing may be required by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). At Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, Seller shall allow Purchaser’s auditor (CohnReznick LLP or any successor auditor selected by Purchaser) to conduct an audit of the income statements of the Property for the
calendar year prior to Closing (or to the date of Closing) and the two (2) prior years, and shall cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of such audit. In addition, Seller agrees to provide to
Purchaser’s auditor a letter of representation substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “I”, and, if requested by such auditor, historical financial statements for the Property, including income and
balance sheet data for the Property, whether required before or after Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Purchaser or its auditor may audit Seller’s operating statements of the Property, at Purchaser’s expense, and Seller
shall provide such documentation as Purchaser or its auditor may reasonably request in order to complete such audit, (ii) Seller shall furnish to Purchaser such financial and other information as may be reasonably required by Purchaser to make
any required filings with the SEC or other governmental authority; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations of Seller shall be limited to providing such information or documentation as may be in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable
by, Seller, or its agents and accountants, at no cost to Seller, and in the format that Seller (or its affiliates, agents or accountants) have maintained such information, and (iii) Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that
the letter of representation to be delivered by Seller to Purchaser substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “I” is not intended to expand, extend, supplement or increase the representations and warranties
made by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to expose Seller to any risk of liability to third parties. The provisions of this Section 9.18 shall survive Closing. 







 B. Although the Representation Letter is premised upon Seller utilizing generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”), Seller has informed Purchaser that Seller’s books and records are not kept in accordance with GAAP, but rather use the modified cash and accrual basis method of accounting. Inasmuch as the
Representation Letter requires that Seller’s books and records be kept in accordance with GAAP, Purchaser has agreed, at its expense, to have its auditors convert Seller’s books and records to GAAP, prior to Seller executing the
Representation Letter, and Seller agrees to so execute the Representation Letter following the conversion of its books and records to GAAP by Purchaser’s auditors. 

9.19 Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be liable in damages to Seller and Seller
shall not have a right to terminate this Agreement for delay or default in performing hereunder by Purchaser if such delay or default is caused by conditions beyond Purchaser’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God,
government restriction, wars, insurrections and/or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Purchaser (including mechanical, electronic, or communication failure). 

9.20 California Broker Disclosures Regarding The Nature of a Real Estate Agency Relationship. 

The “Broker” for the Properties in California is Bancap Self Storage Group, Inc., who with respect to this transaction represents
the Seller only. 
 The Parties and Broker agree that their relationship(s) shall be governed by the principles set forth in California
Civil Code, Section 2375, as summarized below: 
 A. When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate
transaction, a Purchaser or Seller should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation it has with the agent or agents in the transaction. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge being advised by the Broker in this
transaction as follows: 
 (a) Seller’s Agent. A Seller’s agent under a listing agreement with the Seller acts as the agent
for the Seller only. A Seller’s agent or subagent has the following affirmative obligations: (1) To the Seller: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Seller. (2) To the Purchaser and the
Seller: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent’s duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or
desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not
involve the affirmative duties set forth above. 
 (b) Purchaser’s Agent. A selling agent can, with a Purchaser’s consent,
agree to act as agent for the Purchaser only. In these situations, the agent is not the Seller’s agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller. An agent acting
only for a Purchaser has the following affirmative obligations: (1) To the Purchaser: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Purchaser. (2) To the Purchaser and the Seller: a. Diligent exercise
of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent’s duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are
not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth
above. 







 (c) Agent Representing Both Seller and Purchaser. A real estate agent, either acting
directly or through one or more associate licenses, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Purchaser in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Purchaser. (1) In a dual agency situation,
the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the Seller and the Purchaser: a. A fiduciary duty of utmost care integrity honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Seller or the Purchaser. b. Other duties to the Seller and the
Purchaser as stated above in their respective sections (a) or (b). (2) In representing both Seller and Purchaser, the agent may not without the express permission of the respective Party, disclose to the other Party that the Seller will
accept a price less than the listing price or that the Purchaser will pay a price greater than the price offered. (3) The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Seller or Purchaser from the responsibility to
protect their own interests. Purchaser and Seller should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express their understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or
tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional. 
 (d) Further Disclosures. Throughout a transaction Purchaser and Seller
may receive more than one disclosure, depending upon the number of agents assisting in the transaction. Purchaser and Seller should each read its contents each time it is presented, considering the relationship between them and the real estate agent
in the transaction and that disclosure. 
 B. PURCHASER AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AND ARE NOW ADVISED BY THE BROKER
TO CONSULT AND RETAIN THEIR OWN EXPERTS TO ADVISE AND REPRESENT THEM CONCERNING THE LEGAL AND INCOME TAX EFFECTS OF ALL DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, AS WELL AS THE CONDITION AND/OR LEGALITY OF THE PROPERTY, THE IMPROVEMENTS AND
EQUIPMENT THEREIN, THE SOIL THEREOF, THE CONDITION OF TITLE THERETO, THE SURVEY THEREOF, THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS THEREOF, THE INTENDED AND/OR PERMITTED USAGE THEREOF, THE EXISTENCE AND NATURE OF TENANCIES THEREIN, THE OUTSTANDING OTHER AGREEMENTS,
IF ANY, WITH RESPECT THERETO, AND THE EXISTING OR CONTEMPLATED FINANCING THEREOF, AND THAT THE BROKER IS NOT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PURSUING THE INVESTIGATION OF ANY SUCH MATTERS UNLESS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE AGREED TO IN WRITING BY BROKER AND PURCHASER
OR SELLER. 
 9.21 New Jersey Bulk Sales Matters. Within ten (10) days following written request by Purchaser, Seller shall
provide Purchaser with all information and documentation necessary for Purchaser to complete the New Jersey Division of Tax Form C-9600, Notification of Sale, Transfer or Assignment in Bulk and any other documents required by the State of New Jersey
related thereto. Thereafter, Purchaser will promptly file the C-9600. Issuance by the State of New Jersey of a letter setting or waiving the escrow requirement shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close on the Property located in
the State of New Jersey. Should the State of New Jersey require an escrow, Seller agrees to fund an escrow in the amount required from the proceeds of sale, said escrow to be held by the Title Company, pursuant to an escrow agreement in form
reasonably acceptable to the parties. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any of the Seller’s tax liability, which obligation shall survive Closing. 

9.22 Michigan Specific Provisions. 

A. Escrow Fund; Holdback Agreement. At the Closing, a reserve fund shall be deposited by Seller with the Title Company (“Escrow
Agent”) in an amount equal to the Seller’s known or estimated Michigan tax liability as disclosed by the Michigan Department of Treasury, and Seller’s known Michigan unemployment insurance liability as disclosed by a certificate from
the Michigan 







 
Unemployment Insurance Agency (“MUIA”). Such amount shall be withheld at Closing from that part of the Purchase Price allocable to the self storage facilities located in Michigan.
Escrow Agent shall hold such amount until Seller delivers to Purchaser and Escrow Agent (a) a certificate of conditional tax clearance from the Revenue Commissioner of the State of Michigan showing that Seller has filed all Michigan tax returns
and reports required to be filed before the Closing Date and that Seller has paid all Michigan taxes due; and (b) written confirmation from the MUIA to the effect that all contributions, penalties and accrued interest due from Seller to the
MUIA as of the Closing Date have been paid in full. Upon execution of this Agreement, Seller shall execute a Limited Power of Attorney Form 3840, authorizing Purchaser to submit to the Michigan Department of Treasury a Tax Status Letter Request for
purposes of determining Seller’s known or estimated Michigan tax liability as provided for herein and Seller shall provide such information as is necessary for Purchaser to complete the Tax Status Letter Request. 

B. MUIA Disclosure. Seller shall comply with the disclosure requirements concerning its Michigan unemployment experience rate and
contributions by completing and delivering to Purchaser a Form MUIA 1027 Business Transferor’s Notice to Transferee of Unemployment Tax Liability and Rate. Further, Seller shall, at its expense at or prior to Closing, deliver to Purchaser a
Clearance of Account Form 1395 from the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency showing that all reports have been submitted and taxes paid in full as of the end of the calendar quarter immediately prior to Closing. 

C. Tax Clearance. Seller shall, at its expense at or prior to Closing, deliver to Purchaser a Notice of Tax Status from the
Michigan Department of Treasury indicating that all tax returns due have been filed and all taxes disclosed have been paid. Seller agrees to furnish to Purchaser a Conditional Tax Clearance Certificate from the Michigan Department of Treasury as
soon as commercially reasonable following Closing. 
 9.23 Independent Consideration. Contemporaneously with the execution hereof,
Purchaser shall deliver to Seller the sum of One Hundred and no/100 Dollars ($100.00), representing independent consideration for the Approval Period and Purchaser’s right to terminate this Contract during the Approval Period pursuant to the
provisions hereof.
