This First Amendment to Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated January 3, 2022 (this “Amendment”) amends that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated December 17, 2021 (the “Agreement”) between each entity identified as a Seller on Schedule A attached to this Amendment (each a “Selling Entity” and jointly and severally, “Seller”) and each of American Finance Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AFIN Buyer”), and, solely with respect to the acquisition of (i) the Site known as “Shoppes at Straud”, ARG SSSTRPA001, LLC, (ii) the Site known as “Shippensburg Marketplace”, ARG SMSHPPA001, LLC and (iii) the Site known as “Carlisle Crossing”, ARG CCCARPA001, LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company, as buyer (individually or collectively, as the context may require, “Buyer”), and, solely for purposes of Section 1.2(d) and Article 4 thereof, American Finance Trust, Inc..  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.
Recitals
A.    Buyer issued seventy-nine (79) Buyer’s Title Notices on December 17, 2021 pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of the Agreement. As of December 31, 2021, Buyer had received a response from Title Company as to only 19 of  the 79 Buyer’s Title Notices.  As a result, Buyer is not in position to issues the Buyer’s Critical Title Notice contemplated by Section 2.2(d) of the Agreement.
B.    Seller and Buyer desire to extend the deadline for issuance of the Buyer’s Critical Title Notice and otherwise amend the Agreement as set forth below.


Amendment


1.Section 2.2(d) of the Agreement is hereby omitted in its entirety and the following substituted in lieu thereof:




(d)    If (i) Title Company has not agreed to address the Title Objection Matters raised by Buyer in a manner reasonably acceptable to Buyer, and (ii) Seller has not (or is deemed to have not) elected to cure or attempt to cure the Title Objection Matters raised by Buyer that are not being addressed by Title Company pursuant to clause (i), then Buyer will, by a written notice given to Seller not later than 5:00 p.m. (MST) on January 10, 2022, either (x) elect to waive any such uncured Title Objection Matters and proceed to Closing, or (y) deliver written notice to Seller identifying the Sites affected by such Title Objection Matters (and which matters Buyer does not elect to waive pursuant to the preceding clause (x)), which list will specify in detail such material uncured Title Objection Matters with respect to such Sites and the cure or remedy requested by Buyer to address such Title Objection Matters (“Buyer’s Critical Title Notice”). Seller will, by responsive notice given to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days after receiving Buyer’s Critical Title Notice (“Seller’s Critical Title Response”), elect (as to each Site identified in such Buyer’s Critical Title Notice) to (A) cure or attempt to cure, in whole or in part in such manner as may be detailed in Seller’s Critical Title Response, some or all of the Title Objection Matters in Buyer’s Critical Title Notice pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(c) above or (B) decline to provide any action or remedy for some or all of the Title Objection Matters in Buyer’s Critical Title Notice. By responsive notice given to Seller within five (5) Business Days after receiving Seller’s Critical Title Response (provided, in the event that Seller’s Critical Title Response is given or due to be given 
First Amendment to Agreement of Purchase and Sale






fewer than five (5) Business Days before an applicable Closing, then at Buyer’s election such Closing Date shall be adjourned on a day-for-day basis such that Buyer receives the benefit of the entirety of such five (5) Business Day period), Buyer will elect to either (1) accept Seller’s actions (if any) pursuant clause (A) or (B), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.6, designate one or more Sites for which Seller has elected not to provide any action or remedy pursuant to clause (B) as Supplemental Excluded Sites, waive any other Title Objection Matters not addressed by Seller, and proceed to Closing; or (2) if (but only if) Buyer’s reasonably-estimated aggregate reduction in value of the Sites for which Seller is not willing to cure or attempt to cure the Title Objection Matters set forth in Buyer’s Critical Title Notice (the “Uncured Critical Title Matter Value”) exceeds $65,000,000, terminate this Agreement as to the entirety of the Property, in which event the Deposit will be returned to Buyer and thereafter the Parties will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for Obligations Surviving Termination.  For clarity, if the Uncured Critical Title Matter Value is less than $65,000,000, Buyer’s sole remedy will be to elect clause (1) above, and Buyer will not have the right to elect to terminate this Agreement under clause (2).  Any failure of Buyer to timely provide a notice required under this Section 2.2(d) shall be deemed an election by Buyer to waive the related uncured Title Objection Matters and proceed to Closing.  Any Title Objection Matters waived (or deemed waived) by Buyer for a Site shall be deemed to constitute Permitted Exceptions for such Site.  Any failure of Seller to timely provide a notice required under this Section 2.2(d) shall be deemed an election by Seller to take no action with respect to the related uncured Title Objection Matters.


2.     This Amendment may be executed in counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.


3.    Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect, and is hereby ratified and confirmed.
