 THIS PURCHASE CONTRACT (this “Contract”), is entered into as of
the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) by and among WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“Seller”), and THE PHILLIPS EDISON GROUP LLC, an Ohio limited liability company
(“Purchaser”). 
 Recitals 

Seller is the owner in fee simple of the REO Property (as hereinafter defined). 

Seller desires to sell and Purchaser desires to purchase, Seller’s interest in the REO Property, subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Contract. 
 Agreement 
 For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by Seller and Purchaser, and in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual covenants set forth in this
Contract, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Incorporation of Recitals; Certain Definitions 

 Each of the Recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated herein by this reference. Initially capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in
Exhibit A attached to this Contract and hereby incorporated herein by this reference. 
  

	2.	Sale and Purchase 

  

	 	(a)	Seller agrees to sell, convey, and assign to Purchaser, without recourse and without representation or warranty except as expressly set forth herein, and Purchaser
agrees to purchase and accept from Seller, for the Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Contract, the REO Property. 

 

	 	(b)	It is the intention of the parties hereto that the REO Property shall be sold by Seller and purchased by Purchaser at Closing, pursuant to and in accordance with the
terms and provisions of this Contract. Purchaser hereby agrees and acknowledges that it shall have no right hereunder to purchase less than the entire REO Property. 

 

	3.	Purchase Price, Independent Contract Consideration, and Earnest Money 

 

	 	(a)	The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the REO Property is Thirteen Million Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand and
00/100 Dollars ($13,950,000.00). 

	 	(b)	The Purchase Price shall be payable in cash or via federal funds wire transfer at the Closing (as hereinafter defined). 

 

	 	(c)	Within one (1) Business Day after the execution and delivery of this Contract by the later party to execute and deliver this Contract, Purchaser shall deliver to
Chicago Title Insurance Company, National Business Unit located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (the “Escrow Agent”), to the attention of William Weinheimer, Escrow Officer, a copy of this Contract and the sum of Two Hundred
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) (“Earnest Money”), to be held in escrow subject to the terms of this Contract. Escrow Agent shall deposit the Earnest Money in an account held at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

  

	 	(d)	On or before the end of the Review Period (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent the additional sum of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100
Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Additional Earnest Money”). The Earnest Money shall be increased by the amount of the Additional Earnest Money and, for all purposes hereunder, the term Earnest Money shall refer to the Earnest
Money and Additional Earnest Money (if and to the extent applicable) together, totaling the amount of Three Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($300,000.00). The Earnest Money shall include all interest earned thereon and the Earnest Money shall be
invested by Escrow Agent in money market funds or other funds reasonably acceptable to Seller. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the Earnest Money shall be immediately fully earned by Seller, and non-refundable to Purchaser; provided,
however, that the entirety of the Earnest Money shall be applied as a credit towards payment of the Purchase Price in the event Closing occurs pursuant to and in accordance with the terms hereof. Time is of the essence with respect to
Purchaser’s obligation to deposit the Earnest Money. 

  

	 	(e)	Purchaser shall not use the proceeds of any loan or other credit accommodation from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or any parent company, subsidiary or affiliate of Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A., to pay all or a portion of the Earnest Money, the Purchase Price, or any other amounts payable by Purchaser to Seller under this Contract, without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent Seller shall have the right to
withhold in its sole discretion. 

  

	4.	Documents Delivered to or Obtained by Purchaser; Review Period 

 

	 	(a)	The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller has delivered and Purchaser has received copies of those items listed on Exhibit G attached hereto (collectively
the “Due Diligence Materials”) on or prior to the Effective Date. The furnishing of the Due Diligence Materials is without any representation or warranty by Seller with respect thereto, whether express or implied, or with
respect to the right of Purchaser to rely on the Due Diligence Materials, all of which were prepared by third parties. 

  
 2 

	 	(b)	Commencing on or before the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 PM EST on November 21, 2011 (the “Review Period”), Purchaser shall have the
opportunity to review the Due Diligence Materials, to enter upon the REO Property, to interview the tenants thereof (provided, however, Seller shall be offered the opportunity to have a representative present at all such interviews, provided that,
in the event Seller’s representatives shall be unable to be present at the time scheduled for any such interview, Purchaser may nevertheless proceed with such interview), to obtain tenant estoppels (subject to the applicable terms hereof) and
to perform such other reviews, investigations and inquiries as it deems appropriate in order to determine that the REO Property is acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion (collectively, the “Due Diligence”);
provided, however, Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, in its sole discretion, make any intrusive physical testing (environmental, structural or otherwise) at the REO Property (such as soil borings, water
samplings or the like), except for a certain phase I environmental site assessment that may be ordered by the Purchaser at its sole cost and expense. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be
permitted to perform a phase II environmental site assessment of the REO Property without Seller’s prior written approval, which may be withheld for any reason or no reason. Purchaser shall promptly repair any damage to the REO Property
resulting from any physical testing and replace, refill and regrade any holes made in or excavations of any portion of the REO Property used for such physical testing so that the REO Property shall be in substantially the same condition that existed
prior to such physical testing. Purchaser shall maintain or cause to be maintained, at Purchaser’s expense, a policy of comprehensive general public liability insurance, with a broad form contractual liability endorsement, and with a combined
single limit of not less than $2,000,000.00 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, automobile liability coverage including owned and hired vehicles with a combined single limit of $2,000,000.00 per occurrence for bodily injury and
property damage, and an excess umbrella liability policy for bodily injury and property damage in the amount of $2,000,000.00 insuring Purchaser and its affiliates, and Seller and its affiliates as additional insureds, against any injuries or
damages to persons or property that may result from or are related to (i) Purchaser’s and or Purchaser’s representatives entry upon the REO Property; (ii) any physical testing or other activities conducted on the REO Property;
and/or (iii) any and all other activities undertaken by Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s representatives in connection with the Due Diligence, all of which insurance shall be on an “occurrence form” and with an insurance company
qualified and licensed to do business in the State, and deliver a copy of a certificate evidencing the aforementioned insurance to Seller prior to the first entry on the REO Property. 

 

	 	(c)	 Purchaser shall have the right, on or before the expiration of the Review Period, to notify Seller of its satisfaction (same to be determined in
Purchaser’s sole discretion) with the Due Diligence, in which event, the parties shall proceed to Closing (defined below), subject to and in accordance with the terms and

  
 3 

	 	
conditions hereof. In the event that Purchaser fails to give such notice of satisfaction, this Contract shall, upon expiration of the Review Period, terminate. In addition, at any time prior to
the expiration of the Review Period, Purchaser shall have the right, on notice to Seller, to terminate this Contract in Purchaser’s sole discretion, for any reason or no reason at all. In the event of any deemed termination or affirmative
termination, in accordance with the foregoing, the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser by Escrow Agent and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder (except for any indemnification and other obligations
that may survive any termination hereunder). If Purchaser timely gives such notice of satisfaction, then all of the following shall apply: (i) Purchaser shall no longer have any right to terminate this Contract (except as otherwise provided
herein); (ii) Purchaser shall be bound to proceed to Closing under and subject to the terms hereof; and (iii) Purchaser shall be bound by all of its obligations under this Contract, each of which shall apply without condition or
contingency. 

  

	 	(d)	Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, if Purchaser timely gives such notice of satisfaction (in accordance with Section 4(c) above), Purchaser shall be deemed to
have (i) had sufficient opportunity and access to the Due Diligence Materials and to the REO Property in order to conduct its Due Diligence, (ii) conducted such due diligence activities, inspections, and studies of the REO Property as it
deems necessary or appropriate, and (iii) examined and investigated to its full satisfaction all facts, circumstances, and matters relating to the REO Property (including the physical condition and use, availability and adequacy of utilities,
access, zoning, compliance with applicable laws, environmental conditions, engineering and structural matters of the REO Property), title and survey matters, and any other matters it deems necessary or appropriate for purposes of consummating the
transactions contemplated by this Contract. The Due Diligence shall be conducted at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. 

  

	 	(e)	Purchaser shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller, the members and affiliates of Seller, and the property manager, if any, of the REO Property from and
against all losses, costs, damages, claims, and liabilities (whether arising out of injury or death to persons or damage to any asset or otherwise) including, but not limited to, costs of remediation, restoration and other similar activities,
mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from the Due Diligence or the entry by Purchaser or any agent of Purchaser upon the REO Property, unless any of the same are caused by the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of Seller. The provisions of this Section 4(e) shall survive the Closing or, if the purchase and sale is not consummated, any termination of this Contract. 

 

	5.	Closing 

  

	 	(a)	The closing of the transaction contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur in the offices of Escrow Agent, or such other location as the
parties shall mutually designate, on or before 5:00 PM EST on November 30, 2011 (the “Closing Date”). Time is of the essence with respect to the Closing Date. 

  
 4 

	 	(b)	At the Closing, all of the following shall occur, all of which shall be deemed concurrent conditions: 

(i) Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser or Escrow Agent all of the following:

	 	(4)	A general assignment and assumption substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “General Assignment”);

  

	 	(5)	All original (or a copy thereof in the event Seller does not possess an original) leases, licenses and permits with respect to the REO Property and in the possession or
control of Seller’s Representative; 

  

	 	(6)	A FIRPTA affidavit of an authorized officer of Seller; 

  

	 	(7)	Such reasonable notice of change of ownership of the REO Property to tenants and/or service providers as Purchaser shall reasonably require; 

 

	 	(8)	Applicable releases or satisfactions for any deeds of trust held by Seller encumbering the REO Property; and 

 

	 	(9)	Such other documents as Seller and Purchaser, in their reasonable discretion (consistent with the “as-is”, “where is” nature of this Agreement),
deem necessary or appropriate for the legal transfer of all right, title and interest in and to the REO Property. 

  
 5 

 (ii) Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller or Escrow
Agent all of the following: 
  

	 	(1)	The Purchase Price in cash or immediately available wire transferred funds, subject to the adjustments herein called for and less the amount of the Earnest Money, which
Earnest Money shall be delivered by the Escrow Agent to Seller at and upon Closing;

	 	(5)	Such other documents as Seller and Purchaser, in their reasonable discretion (consistent with the “as-is”, “where is” nature of this Agreement),
deem necessary or appropriate for the assumption of all right, title and interest in and to the REO Property by Purchaser. 

 (c) At the conclusion of Closing, possession of the REO Property shall be delivered to Purchaser subject to the Permitted Exceptions. 

 

	6.	Termination, Default, and Remedies 

  

	 	(a)	If Purchaser breaches any of its obligations under this Contract, including, but not limited to, a failure or refusal of Purchaser to consummate the purchase of the REO
Property, or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Contract at the Closing, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to retain the Earnest Money, as full, fixed and liquidated damages, not as a penalty, the parties hereby acknowledging the
difficulty of ascertaining Seller’s damages in such a circumstance and agreeing that this remedy represents a reasonable and mutual attempt by Seller and Purchaser to anticipate the consequence to Seller of such breach by Purchaser, whereupon
this Contract shall terminate. Thereafter, Purchaser and Seller shall be relieved of further liability hereunder, at law or in equity, it being the agreement of the parties that Purchaser shall have no other liability or obligation for default
hereunder, except for such indemnification and other obligations as may, under the terms hereof, survive termination of this Contract. 

  

	 	(b)	 If Seller fails to consummate the sale of the REO Property pursuant to this Contract at the Closing or fails to perform any of Seller’s other
obligations under this Contract either prior to or at the Closing (which failure remains uncured for ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such default from Purchaser) for any reason other than (i) the termination of this
Contract, or (ii) Purchaser’s failure to perform Purchaser’s obligations under this Contract, on or prior to the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either (A) terminate this
Contract by giving written notice of the termination to Seller prior to or at the Closing, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to Purchaser, free of any claims by Seller, as full, fixed and liquidated damages, not as a
penalty, whereupon this Contract shall terminate, 

  
 6 

	 	
the parties hereby acknowledging the difficulty of ascertaining Purchaser’s damages in such a circumstance and agreeing that this remedy represents a reasonable and mutual attempt by Seller
and Purchaser to anticipate the consequence to Purchaser of Seller’s breach; or (B) pursue an action for specific performance of this Contract against Seller to consummate the sale of this REO Property pursuant to this Contract; provided,
however, that Purchaser shall not be entitled to pursue any action for specific performance in the event that either of the following is applicable: (x) Seller is subject to an order or regulation of any governmental or regulatory authority
having jurisdiction over Seller or any affiliate thereof that prevents such performance, or (y) such performance would result in the levy of a fine, imposition of any reserve requirement or any other action that has a material adverse effect
(apart from the act of specific performance) on Seller or any affiliate by any such governmental or regulatory authority. Purchaser shall be deemed to waive any right to specific performance pursuant to clause (B) above in this
Section 6(b) unless Purchaser commences any such action for specific performance within thirty (30) days following the date of the alleged default by Seller. Thereafter, Purchaser and Seller shall be relieved of further liability hereunder
(except to the extent indemnification and other obligations of Purchaser and Seller survive termination), at law or in equity, it being the agreement of the parties that Seller shall have no liability or obligation for default hereunder except to
the extent of the amounts set forth herein, and in no event shall Seller’s liability or responsibility for any failure, breach or default hereunder exceed the total amounts set forth herein, and in no event shall Purchaser be entitled to any
other equitable remedies except as set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event remedy option (B) above is not an available remedy to Purchaser due to a direct act of Seller (or if either of clauses
(x) or (y) above is applicable), Purchaser shall be deemed to have selected remedy option (A) set forth above as Purchaser’s sole remedy and Seller shall also reimburse Purchaser up to $50,000.00 for actual out-of-pocket costs
and expenses (as evidenced by paid receipts and invoices) incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Contract. 

  

	 	(c)	If either Seller or Purchaser becomes entitled to the Earnest Money upon termination of this Contract in accordance with its terms, Purchaser and Seller covenant and
agree to deliver a letter of instruction to the Escrow Agent directing disbursement of the Earnest Money to the party entitled thereto. If either party fails or refuses to sign or deliver such instruction letter when the other party is entitled to
disbursement of the Earnest Money such party shall pay, upon the final order of a court with appropriate jurisdiction, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and fees and expenses of expert
witnesses and other professionals) incurred by the party so entitled to the Earnest Money in connection with the recovery of the Earnest Money. This obligation shall survive termination of this Contract. 

  
 7 

	7.	Seller’s Covenants, Agreements, Representations, and Warranties 

 

	 	(a)	Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that: 

 (i) Seller has the right, power, legal capacity, and authority to execute and deliver this Contract and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Contract; and 

(ii) The individual or individuals executing this Contract and any and all documents contemplated hereby on behalf of Seller has or have
the legal power, right, and actual authority to bind Seller to the terms and conditions contained in this Contract and in such documents. 
 (iii) Authority. Seller has the right to execute this Contract and to sell the REO Property in accordance herewith without obtaining the consent, approval, release, or signature of any other party.
Neither the execution and delivery of this Contract nor the consummation by Seller of the transaction contemplated hereby will (i) result in a breach of or default under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage,
indenture, license, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Seller is a party or by which it or the REO Property is bound, or (ii) violate any order, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Seller or the REO
Property. 
  

	 	(b)	Seller covenants with Purchaser as follows: 

 (i) Prior to Closing, Seller shall obtain all such written consents and approvals as may be necessary or required to permit Seller to perform its obligations under this Contract; 

(ii) Except as may be required by law or agreed to by Purchaser, Seller agrees that from the Effective Date until Closing, Seller shall
not consent to or enter into any easements, mortgages or other encumbrances upon the REO Property; 
 (iii) Seller shall notify
Purchaser promptly upon receipt by Seller’s Representative prior to Closing of written notice of the institution or pendency of any action, suit, or proceeding against or affecting the REO Property, or relating to or arising out of the
ownership of such REO Property; and 
 (iv) From the Effective Date until Closing or earlier termination of this Contract, Seller
shall not (i) enter into, modify, or terminate any lease, license or other permission to occupy the REO Property, or (ii) permit any lease to terminate or be terminated (to the extent under the control of Seller), without Purchaser’s
consent, which consent, prior to conclusion of the Review Period, shall not be unreasonably withheld by Purchaser and after the conclusion of the Review Period shall be granted or denied in Purchaser’s sole discretion. 

 

	 	(c)	 Each of the representations, warranties and covenants made by Seller in this Section 7 hereof shall not merge into the Deed or other
closing documents but shall survive Closing for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter. On the date that is exactly one hundred twenty (120) days after Closing, all such representations, warranties and covenants of Seller,
including without limitation 

  
 8 

	 	
those in this Contract, shall terminate and expire and shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. If Purchaser fails to provide written notice to Seller of a breach or default with
respect to any of such representations, warranties and covenants of Seller within one hundred twenty (120) days after Closing, any and all remedies of Purchaser with respect to any such breach or default on the part of Seller under any such
representations, warranties or covenants, shall expire, and thereafter Purchaser shall have no other remedy or recourse against Seller whatsoever. 

  

	 	(d)	For purposes of this Contract and any document delivered at Closing, all references to Seller’s knowledge, including, without limitation, whenever the phrase
“to Seller’s actual knowledge,” or the “knowledge” of Seller or words of similar import are used, they shall be deemed to refer to facts within the actual, personal knowledge of Seller’s Representative only, and no
others, only at the times indicated, without investigation or inquiry, or obligation to make investigation or inquiry, and in no event shall the same include any knowledge imputed to Seller by any other person or entity. 

 

	 	(e)	Each of the representations, warranties and covenants made by Seller herein, including, without limitation, in this Section 7 hereof, is made subject to,
and shall be deemed to be modified by, any information to the contrary set forth or referenced in any of the Due Diligence Materials. Purchaser shall be deemed to have knowledge of all information and circumstances set forth, described or otherwise
referenced in any of the Due Diligence Materials. In no event shall Seller be deemed to be in breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Seller herein, including, without limitation, in this Section 7 hereof, on account
of any information or circumstance of which Purchaser has knowledge on or prior to the Closing Date. 

  

	8.	Purchaser’s Covenants, Agreements, Representations, and Warranties 

 

	 	(a)	Purchaser hereby makes the following representations, warranties and agreements which shall have been deemed to have been made as of the Closing Date:

 (i) Purchaser is acquiring the REO Property for its own account only and not for any other Person. 

(ii) Purchaser has relied and shall continue to rely solely on its own investigation and other than Seller’s express representations
and warranties set forth in Section 7 of this Contract, Purchaser has not relied and shall not rely upon any oral or written statements or representations made by Seller or its personnel or agents and acknowledges that no employee or
representative of Seller has been authorized to make any statements or representations. 
 (iii) Purchaser represents that it is
a knowledgeable, experienced and sophisticated Purchaser of real estate, and that it is relying solely on its own expertise and that of Purchaser’s consultants in purchasing the REO Property.

  
 9 

 
Purchaser acknowledges that all information obtained by Purchaser has been and will be obtained from a variety of sources and Seller will not be deemed to have represented or warranted the
completeness, truth or accuracy of any of the Due Diligence Materials or other such information heretofore or hereafter furnished to Purchaser, except as expressly set forth herein. Upon Closing, Purchaser will assume the risk that adverse matters,
including, but not limited to, adverse physical and environmental conditions, may not have been revealed by Purchaser’s inspections and investigations. 
 (iv) Consistent with Section 12 below, Purchaser has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person, except the Broker (as defined herein), who may be entitled to any
commission or compensation in connection with the sale of the REO Property or any portion thereof. 
 (v) Purchaser acknowledges
and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in this Contract, the REO Property is being sold on an “as is” “where is” and “with all faults” basis on the terms and conditions herein set forth. The Purchase Price
reflects the “as is, where is” nature of this sale and any faults, liabilities, defects or other adverse matters that may be associated with the REO Property. PURCHASER, WITH PURCHASER’S COUNSEL, HAS FULLY REVIEWED THE DISCLAIMERS AND
WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS CONTRACT, AND UNDERSTANDS THE SIGNIFICANCE AND EFFECT THEREOF. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE DISCLAIMERS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH HEREIN ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS CONTRACT, AND THAT SELLER WOULD NOT
HAVE AGREED TO SELL THE REO PROPERTY TO PURCHASER FOR THE PURCHASE PRICE WITHOUT THE DISCLAIMERS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS SET FORTH IN THIS CONTRACT. 
 (vi) Purchaser expressly agrees and acknowledges that Purchaser’s obligations hereunder are not in any way conditional upon, or qualified by, Purchaser’s ability to obtain financing of any type
or nature whatsoever (i.e., whether by way of debt, financing or equity investment or otherwise) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (vii) Purchaser represents that it has full power and authority and has taken all action necessary to authorize it to enter into and perform its obligations under this Contract and all other documents or
instruments contemplated hereby. Purchaser represents and warrants that this Contract has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Purchaser. This Contract constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable in
accordance with its terms. Purchaser represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Contract by Purchaser does not conflict with the organizational documents of Purchaser, or with any law, statute or regulation
applicable to Purchaser, or any mortgage, indenture or other contract or agreement to which Purchaser is a party. Purchaser represents and warrants that no litigation exists against Purchaser that would have a material adverse effect on the
transactions contemplated by this Contract. 

  
 10 

 (viii) Purchaser hereby agrees and acknowledges that Seller shall have no responsibility or
liability to Purchaser arising out of or related to any third parties’ failure to assist or cooperate with Purchaser. In addition, Purchaser is not relying upon the continued actions or efforts of Seller or any third party in connection with
its decision to purchase the REO Property. The risks attendant to the potential failure or refusal of third parties to assist or cooperate with Purchaser and/or Seller in the effective transfer and assignment of the REO Property and/or assigned
rights shall be borne by Purchaser. 
 (ix) Purchaser shall not institute any enforcement or legal action or proceeding in the
name of Seller. Purchaser shall not, except where circumstances reasonably require revealing the purchase of the REO Property from Seller, make reference to Seller or Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in any correspondence to or discussion with any sale,
rental or other disposition of the REO Property. Except as specified above, Purchaser shall not use Seller’s or Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.’s name, or any name derived therefrom or confusingly similar therewith in connection with
Purchaser’s management of the REO Property. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that there may be no adequate remedy at law for a violation of the terms of this Section, and Seller shall have the right to seek the entry of an order by a court of
competent jurisdiction enjoining any violation hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser shall have the right to reveal the name and identity of Seller and to file a copy of this Contract if deemed
necessary by Purchaser, using good faith in making such determination, in connection with any filings Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser shall make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or other
governmental authority. 
 (x) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Purchaser has taken a recent tour and inspection of the REO
Property. 
  

	 	(b)	Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Purchaser 

 Each of the representations, warranties and covenants made by Purchaser in this Contract shall not merge into any Deed or other closing documents but shall survive Closing indefinitely. 

 

	9.	No Recording or Filing 

 Neither this Contract nor a memorandum thereof shall be filed or recorded by Seller or Purchaser. 
  

	10.	Post-Closing Duties / Obligations 

  

	 	(a)	Effective at Closing, Purchaser hereby assumes and shall undertake, comply with and discharge all duties and obligations of Seller under any applicable law, statute,
ordinance, order finding, decree, rule or regulation, with respect to the REO Property. 

  
 11 

	 	(b)	This Section 10 and all other Sections that contain or relate to obligations to be performed or satisfied post-Closing on the part of either Seller or Purchaser
shall survive Closing. 

  

	11.	Title 

  

	 	(a)	Title Objections. Within four (4) calendar days following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall obtain an abstract of title issued by the Title Company,
setting forth the status of title to the REO Property and showing all encumbrances and other matters affecting the REO Property (the “Commitment”); provided, however, in no event shall Seller be obligated to pay any premium
for a new owner’s policy, the cost of obtaining the Commitment, or any other costs related to title insurance. 

  

	 	(b)	Within two (2) Business Days following the receipt by Purchaser of the Commitment, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing as to Purchaser’s disapproval of
any of the title exceptions set forth in such Commitment or any of the maters shown on the survey of the REO Property to be obtained by Purchaser after receipt of the Commitment. Seller shall have three (3) calendar days thereafter
(“Seller Response Period”) to elect whether or not to remove said exceptions at Seller’s expense at or prior to the Closing. In the event Seller does not give written notice to Purchaser and Escrow Agent within the
Seller Response Period that Seller will remove such disapproved exception(s) or matters at or prior to the Closing, then Purchaser may, by delivery of written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent within two (2) Business Days following expiration
of the Seller Response Period, elect to (i) terminate this Contract, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to a return of the Earnest Money, or (ii) approve the previously disapproved title exceptions reflected in the Commitment or
matter set forth on the survey (in which case such exceptions and matters shall become Permitted Exceptions) without any reduction in the Purchase Price and waive Purchaser’s right of cancellation. In the event Purchaser fails to give timely
written notice of its election to terminate this Contract following expiration of the Seller Response Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have expressly approved the Commitment and shall take title to the Property at Closing subject to all
Permitted Exceptions. 

  

	 	(c)	 Title Insurance. Purchaser shall be entitled to request that, at Closing, with respect to the REO Property, the Title Company (i) issue to
Purchaser an ALTA owner’s form title policy (the “New Title Policy”), in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring that fee simple title to the REO Property is vested in Purchaser subject only to the Permitted
Exceptions, and (ii) provide such endorsements (or amendments) to such New Title Policy as Purchaser may reasonably require; provided that, if, for any reason, the Title Company declines to so issue the New Title Policy at Closing, Purchaser
shall be entitled to request that another title company, selected by Purchaser, issue to Purchaser, at Closing, a New Title 

  
 12 

	 	
Policy; provided further that (a) the New Title Policy and any endorsements thereto shall be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability on, Seller, (b) Purchaser’s
obligations under this Contract shall not be conditioned upon Purchaser’s ability to obtain such New Title Policy or any endorsements to the New Title Policy and, if Purchaser is unable to obtain a New Title Policy and/or any such endorsements,

 18 

 To the extent allowed by applicable law, each party to this Contract hereby expressly waives
any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action or cause of action (each, an “Action”) (a) arising out of this Contract, including any present or future amendment thereof or (b) in any way connected with or
related or incidental to the dealings of the parties or any of them with respect to this Contract (as hereafter amended) or any other instrument, document or agreement executed or delivered in connection herewith, or the transactions related hereto
or thereto, in each case whether such Action is now existing or hereafter arising, and whether sounding in contract or tort or otherwise and regardless of which party asserts such Action; and each party hereby agrees and consents that any such
Action shall be decided by court trial without a jury, and that any party to this Contract may file an original counterpart or a copy of this section with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties to the waiver of any right they

	24.	Limited Liability of Seller 

 If Seller breaches this Contract, and the breach is discovered prior to Closing, Purchaser’s sole remedies are those described in Section 6(b) of this Contract. Except as to a breach by Seller
of any warranty, representation or covenant contained in Section 7 of this Contract, if Seller breaches this Contract, and such breach is discovered after Closing, Purchaser shall have no remedy or recourse against Seller. Purchaser has
factored this risk into its decision to purchase. If and only if it is determined within one hundred twenty (120) days after Closing that Seller breached any warranty, representation or covenant contained in Section 7 of this Contract, and
if Purchaser notifies Seller in writing of any such breach within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Closing, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be one of the following: (i) cure of the breach by or on account of Seller; or
(ii) payment of appropriate monetary compensation by Seller to Purchaser for such breach. Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that in no event will the liability of Seller under this Contract (including, without limitation, any liability
of Seller for breach or default under any representation, warranty or covenant made by Seller in Section 7 hereof) exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the entirety of the amount of Earnest Money deposited by Purchaser (i.e., the
original Earnest Money deposit referred to in Section 3(c) above, the Additional Earnest Money referred to in Section 3(d) above and any interest earned thereon). NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS CONTRACT OR
OTHERWISE, IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE UNDER THIS CONTRACT OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT FOR ANY PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES.

parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Contract and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the
interpretation of this Contract or any exhibits or amendments hereto. Accordingly, this Contract shall not be construed as if it had been prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared it. Whenever required by the context
of this Contract, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. When the context so requires, the neuter gender includes the feminine or masculine. 
  

	29.	Termination of Contract 

 It is understood and agreed that if either Purchaser or Seller terminates this Contract pursuant to a right of termination granted hereunder, such termination shall operate to relieve Seller and Purchaser
from all obligations under this Contract, except for such obligations as are specifically stated herein to survive the termination of this Contract including, without limitation, indemnification obligations and other obligations related to the
appropriate distribution of the Earnest Money pursuant to this Contract. 
 Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Contract
to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, upon written request from Seller to Purchaser along with payment to Purchaser reimbursing Purchaser for the actual cost previously expended by

  
 20 

 
Purchaser for the applicable items requested by Seller, Purchaser shall immediately provide Seller all (or a subset of all as determined by Seller) plans, drawings, reports, specifications,
blueprints, designs, title work, work product and similar type due diligence and development documents related to any engineering, architectural, development, environmental, structural, erosion, water, construction, and any other activity conducted
during the Review Period concerning the REO Property. Upon such delivery by Purchaser to Seller, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller (and Seller’s successors and assigns) shall be permitted to utilize any such documents and work
product (at no cost or expense to Seller or any successor or assign of Seller other than the aforesaid payment from Seller to Purchaser to reimburse Purchaser for its actual cost expended to obtain such documents or work product) as such documents
and work product relate to the REO Property. The obligations of Purchaser under this Section shall survive for one (1) year following the date of any termination of this Contract. Time is of the essence with respect to Purchaser’s
obligations set forth herein. 
  

	30.	Information and Confidentiality 

 If Purchaser and Seller have previously executed one or more confidentiality agreements related to the REO Property, Purchaser’s evaluation of the REO Property or the transfer thereof under this
Contract, then each such agreement shall remain in full force and effect under the terms therein, survive the Effective Date and, to the extent of inconsistency with the terms and conditions set forth herein, supersede the language in this
Section 30. To the extent no such agreement has been executed as of the Effective Date by Purchaser and Seller with respect to the REO Property, or, to the extent any such agreement has been executed but does not cover the agreements set
forth in this Section 30 or has since expired, then this Section 30 shall apply. 
 Except as permitted
by this Contract, Purchaser agrees that neither Purchaser nor Purchaser’s Representatives (as hereinafter defined) shall, at any time or in any manner, either directly or indirectly, divulge, disclose or communicate to any person, entity or
association, other than any Purchaser’s Representatives and/or Purchaser’s Loan Parties (as hereinafter defined), the Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined). Without Seller’s prior written consent, Purchaser shall not
disclose, and Purchaser shall direct Purchaser’s Representatives and Purchaser’s Loan Parties not to disclose, to any person, entity or association (other than among themselves) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to
this Contract, including, without limitation, the status hereof, that are not part of the public domain. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may disclose such of the Confidential Information and its other reports, studies, documents and other
matters generated by it and the terms of this Contract (i) as Purchaser deems necessary or desirable to Purchaser’s Representatives and/or Purchaser’s Loan Parties in connection with Purchaser’s investigation of the REO Property
and the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that those to whom such Confidential Information is disclosed are informed of the confidential nature thereof and agree to keep the same confidential in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof, (ii) if compelled to do so by the United States, any State of the United States or any subdivision, agency, department, commission, bureau or instrumentality of any of the foregoing having jurisdiction over the REO Property (each, a
“Governmental Authority”), pursuant to law, or otherwise by 

  
 21 

 
legal proceedings, (iii) in connection with any litigation involving this Contract or the transactions contemplated hereby, or (iv) in connection with any filings made in good faith
with the SEC. 
 As used in this Contract, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean any of the
following to the extent supplied by Seller or on behalf of Seller or otherwise made available by or at the direction of Seller to Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representatives: (i) all written information and documents relating to the
REO Property, any portion thereof or the sale thereof, furnished to, or otherwise available for review by, Purchaser or its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, current or prospective partners, current or prospective members, current or
prospective shareholders, brokers, agents or other representatives of Purchaser or such parties, including without limitation, attorneys, accountants, contractors, consultants, engineers or financial advisors (collectively,
“Purchaser’s Representatives”), and (ii) all written analyses, compilations, data, studies, reports or other information or documents prepared or obtained by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, but only
to the extent containing the information or documents described in the preceding clause (i), or otherwise reflecting their review or investigation of the REO Property. As used in this Contract, “Purchaser’s Loan
Parties” shall mean (A) any lender who contemplates providing or provides financing to Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Contract, together with the officers, employees, agents, representatives,
consultants and attorneys of such lender or prospective lender, and (B) any broker who is engaged by Purchaser to identify a lender or investor or prospective lender or investor for Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by

	31.	Release 

 EXCEPT AS
OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS CONTRACT, PURCHASER SHALL RELEASE, SELLER, ANY MANAGER OF THE REO PROPERTY, EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE PREDECESSORS IN INTEREST AND SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, TOGETHER WITH THE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, PARTNERS,
EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AFFILIATES, MEMBERS, INVESTORS, CERTIFICATE HOLDERS AND AGENTS OF EACH OF THE FOREGOING (THE “SELLER PARTIES”) FROM ALL CLAIMS, ABSOLUTE OR CONTINGENT, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHICH PURCHASER OR ANY
AGENT, REPRESENTATIVE, AFFILIATE, EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR, OFFICER, PARTNER, MEMBER, SERVANT, SHAREHOLDER, TRUSTEE OR OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY ACTING ON PURCHASER’S BEHALF OR OTHERWISE RELATED TO OR AFFILIATED WITH PURCHASER HAS OR MAY HAVE ARISING
FROM OR RELATED TO ANY MATTER OR THING RELATED TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE REO PROPERTY, AND ANY PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, AND PURCHASER SHALL NOT LOOK TO THE SELLER PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING FOR ANY REDRESS OR RELIEF.
THIS RELEASE SHALL BE GIVEN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT ACCORDING TO EACH OF ITS EXPRESSED TERMS AND PROVISIONS, INCLUDING THOSE RELATING TO UNKNOWN AND UNSUSPECTED CLAIMS, DAMAGES AND CAUSES OF ACTION. THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL
SURVIVE CLOSING AND ANY TERMINATION OF THIS CONTRACT. 

  
 22 

	32.	Indemnification of Seller Parties by Purchaser 

 Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller Parties from and against all losses, causes of action, liabilities, claims, demands, obligations, damages, costs and expenses, including without
limitation attorneys’ fees and costs, to which Seller Parties may become subject on account of any breach by Purchaser of its warranties and representations set forth in Section 8 of this Contract. The obligations in this
Section 32 shall survive Closing and any termination of the Contract. 
  

	33.	Risk Of Loss 

Prior to Closing, the risk of loss shall remain with Seller. If, prior to Closing, the REO Property or any part thereof shall be
condemned, destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser. If the REO Property or any part thereof shall be condemned such that damages are in excess of an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the
Purchase Price or if the REO Property or any part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty the repair of which would cost in excess of $500,000, then, at the option of Purchaser, which option shall be exercisable, if at all,
by written notice thereof to Seller within three (3) Business Days after Purchaser receives written notice of such fire, earthquake or other casualty or condemnation, this Contract may be terminated. If Purchaser elects to terminate this
Contract, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, in which event this Contract shall, without further action of the parties, become null and void, and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Contract, except those
which expressly survive termination. In the event that Purchaser does not exercise the option to terminate the Contract set forth above, or if the condemnation or casualty is below the thresholds described above or if the casualty involves an
uninsured loss, then (i) Purchaser’s obligations hereunder to purchase the REO Property for the full Purchase Price shall apply without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage to the REO Property or destruction of any improvements
on the REO Property or condemnation of any portion of the REO Property, (ii) Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Contract or reduce the Purchase Price in the event of any damage to the REO Property or destruction of any improvements
on the REO Property or condemnation of any portion of the REO Property, (iii) Purchaser hereby waives any right Purchaser may have at law or in equity to terminate this Contract or seek reduction of the Purchase Price on account of any damage
to the REO Property or destruction of any improvements on the REO Property or condemnation of any portion of the REO Property, and (iv) the Closing shall take place on the Closing Date, provided, however that Seller hereby agrees that upon the
Closing, there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards collected by Seller, if any, as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation, plus the
amount of any insurance deductible, less any sums expended by Seller toward the restoration or repair of the REO Property or in collecting such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards. If the proceeds or awards have not

  
 23 

 
been collected as of the Closing, then such proceeds or awards shall be assigned to Purchaser, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended prior to the Closing to repair or
restore the REO Property or to collect any such proceeds or awards. 
  

	34.	Prorations 

  

	 	(a)	General Prorations. All amounts set forth in the following numbered paragraphs shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section 34, be
prorated to 11:59 p.m. local time on the day before the Closing Date with Purchaser receiving the benefits and burdens of ownership on and after the Closing Date. 

(i) Seller shall be entitled to all net cash flow received from or produced by the REO Property prior to the Closing Date. From and after
the occurrence of the Closing, Purchaser shall be entitled to all net cash flow received from or produced by the REO Property after the Closing Date. All gross rents (and other amounts due and payable by tenants under Leases and all other income
from the REO Property including, but not limited to minimum rent, percentage rent and common area maintenance, tax and insurance reimbursements to be made by the tenants) actually received, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, based on the
actual days in the month of the Closing. If the Closing shall occur before rents and all other amounts due and payable by the tenants under the Leases and all other income from the REO Property have actually been paid for the month in which the
Closing occurs, the apportionment of such rents and other amounts and other income shall be upon the basis of such rents and other amounts and other income actually received by Seller. Subsequent to Closing, if any such rents and other income are
actually received by Purchaser or Seller, all such amounts shall first be applied to current rents due and payable for the month in which the same are received, second, to post-Closing past due rents, third, to past-due rents due and payable for
pre-Closing periods, and fourth, the balance shall immediately paid by Purchaser to Seller or Seller to Purchaser, as applicable. Purchaser shall use diligent, good-faith efforts and in the ordinary course of business to collect any such rents and
other amounts and other income not apportioned at the Closing for the benefit of Seller and shall continue to collect any such rents for the benefit of Seller for a six (6) month period commencing on Closing. 

(ii) General real estate taxes and assessments against the REO Property not directly paid by tenants under any Leases and not included in
any reimbursable common area maintenance expenses paid by tenants under any Leases shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, based on a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year. If the Closing shall occur before the tax rate or the assessed
valuation of the REO Property is fixed for the then-current year, the apportionment of taxes shall be upon the basis of the tax rate for the preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation. Subsequent to the Closing, when the tax rate and
the assessed valuation of the REO Property is 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,
provided, however, the same shall be determined no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the tax bill/assessed valuation/tax rate for the current year. 

  
 24 

 (iii) Any cash security deposit provided for under any Lease shall be credited to Purchaser
on the Closing Date and Purchaser shall assume Seller’s obligations related to such security deposits. 
 (iv) Seller shall
be entitled to a credit for all security deposits held by any of the utility companies providing service to the REO Property for the benefit of Purchaser where such deposits are transferred by the utility to Purchaser’s account. Seller shall
endeavor to obtain meter readings on the day before the Closing Date, and if such readings are obtained, there shall be no proration of such items and Seller shall pay at Closing the bills therefor for the period to the day preceding the Closing,
and Purchaser shall pay the bills therefor for the period subsequent thereto. If any utility company will not issue separate bills, Purchaser will receive a credit against the Purchase Price for Seller’s portion and will pay the entire bill
prior to delinquency after Closing. Purchaser shall be responsible for making any security deposits required by utility companies providing service to the REO Property. 
 (v) Payments with respect to any service contracts for the REO Property, if any, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, based on the actual number of days in the billing period for such respective
service contracts. 
 (vi) Any other operating expenses of the REO Property not directly paid by tenants under any Leases and not
included in any reimbursable common area maintenance expenses paid by tenants under any Leases, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, based on a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year. If the Closing shall occur before the actual amount of
all other operating expenses with respect to the REO Property for the month in which the Closing occurs are determined, the apportionment of such other operating expenses shall be upon the basis of the prior month’s actual amount of such other
operating expenses. Subsequent to the Closing, when the actual amount of such other operating expenses for the month in which the Closing occurs are determined, the parties agree to adjust the proration of such other operating expenses and, if

Closing, and in any event not later than the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after Closing. If either party receives any funds which belong to the other party under this Section 34, such receiving party shall pay over
and/or deliver such funds to the other party (without interest thereon) within 15 Business Days after receipt. 

  
 25 

	 	(c)	Special Tax Prorations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Seller shall retain the right to receive all refunds for overpayments of real
property taxes and assessments to the extent paid by and attributable to the period of time on or prior to the Closing Date, and Seller shall have the sole right to prosecute an appeal or claim with respect to such amounts, provided that, to the
extent any tenants of the REO Property are owed a refund pursuant to their Leases for any such taxes paid by such tenants, Seller shall promptly deliver such pro rata amount owing to such tenants with a reasonably detailed breakdown of the taxes
paid, the tenants’ share thereof and the costs involved in obtaining such refund, all for delivery to such tenants. 

  

	 	(d)	Closing Costs. At Closing, Purchaser shall pay (a) the Escrow Agent’s escrow fee, (b) the premium for the New Title Policy, the costs of any

reasonably efforts to cooperate with Purchaser and its representatives and agents in the preparation of the Financial Information; provided, however, Seller shall not be required to incur any out
of pocket expenses or costs. Seller shall maintain and allow access to, during normal business hours, such books and records of Seller and Seller’s manager of the REO Property reasonably related to the REO Property. Further, so long as

between the date Purchaser notified Seller of its satisfaction with the Due Diligence and the date of Closing, Purchaser shall have the right, upon notice thereof to Seller on or prior to Closing, to terminate this Agreement and thereupon to receive
an immediate refund of the Earnest Money and neither party shall thereafter have any further liability or obligation hereunder except for such liabilities and obligations that are expressly stated herein to survive termination of this Agreement.

  

	40.	 Estoppel Condition (a) For purposes hereof, the “Estoppel Condition” shall be deemed to mean the following: Seller providing to
Purchaser acceptable estoppel letters from (i) tenants under Leases of 70% of the leased square foot area of the REO Property (excluding the square footage leased by Harris Teeter, Sun Trust Bank, and Fifth Third Bank) and (ii) Harris
Teeter, Sun Trust Bank, and Fifth Third Bank, with each such requested estoppel letter to be either on the form attached hereto as Exhibit H and incorporated herein by reference or the form otherwise required under the applicable tenant
Lease, and to be dated no earlier than 30 days prior to Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, an “acceptable estoppel letter” for purposes of satisfying the Estoppel Condition shall be an estoppel letter that
does not allege any material defaults by the landlord under the applicable Lease and confirms, in all material aspects, the information shown on the Rent Roll noted as item 9 on Exhibit G attached hereto. Seller shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to satisfy the Estoppel Condition as set forth herein. At the request of Purchaser, Seller shall also request subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements from each tenant under the Leases (provided, such
subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements are prepared by Purchaser and delivered to Seller within three (3) days following the Effective Date). In the event Seller shall have not have satisfied the Estoppel Condition on or
before the date 5 days prior to Closing, thereafter, until such time as the Estoppel 

  
 28 

	 	
Condition is satisfied, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Contract as Purchaser’s sole remedy by providing notice of such termination to Seller prior to the scheduled date of
Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right but not the obligation to seek to satisfy the Estoppel Condition for and on behalf of Seller and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in connection therewith. In the event that
Purchaser so chooses but is unable to satisfy the Estoppel Condition on or before the date set for Closing, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Contract as Purchaser’s sole remedy by providing notice of such termination to
Seller prior to the scheduled date of Closing. If Purchaser terminates the Contract pursuant to this paragraph, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder, other than
any of such liabilities or obligations expressly provided hereunder to survive such termination. 

  

	(b)	On or before Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser estoppel certificates, in the form of the same provided
heretofore to Seller’s counsel, from all parties to that certain Declaration of Easements, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Cureton Town Center dated November 3, 2006, recorded at Book 4356, Page 530, Union County Register of
Deeds, as amended by First Amendment to Declaration dated April 11, 2007 recorded at Book 4521, Page 198, Union County Register of Deeds (as may be or may have been amended or supplemented from time to time, the
“Declaration”). In the event such estoppel certificates are not executed and delivered to Purchaser on or before Closing or, in the event the estoppel certificates are so executed and delivered but have been modified to
contain matters that are unacceptable to Purchaser in its reasonable discretion, then, Purchaser shall have the right, upon notice thereof to Seller, as its sole remedy to terminate this Contract (such termination right to be exercised at all on or
before Closing), in which event, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder, other than any of such liabilities or obligations expressly provided hereunder to survive
such termination. 

  

	41.	Declaration Prior to Closing, either party shall have the right to submit to the other a proposed amendment to the Declaration (“Declaration
Amendment”) which is to address issues with respect to certain rights and obligations under the Declaration. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another with regard to the issues to be addressed in the Declaration Amendment.
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller makes no representations or warranties that Seller holds any rights or obligations under the Declaration as of the Effective Date. Within two business days after receipt of the Declaration Amendment, the
receiving party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to review and approve such Declaration Amendment or furnish to the proposing party in writing a detailed description of any aspects of the Declaration Amendment which are not acceptable, the
reasons the matters so described are not acceptable and the changes which will be required to make the Declaration Amendment acceptable to the receiving party. If, on or before Closing, the parties, despite their respective good faith efforts (each
agreeing that it shall act in a commercially reasonable manner), have not reached agreement regarding the Declaration Amendment, then either party shall be entitled to terminate this Contract. Upon any such termination, the Earnest Money shall be
returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder, other than any of such liabilities or obligations expressly provided hereunder to survive such termination. 

  
 29 

 If the parties reach agreement on the form and substance of the Declaration Amendment, and
the same requires signatures of third parties as may be provided for in the Declaration or any Lease, then Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure such signatures prior to Closing. If, as of the scheduled date of
Closing, the parties, despite their respective good faith efforts (each agreeing that it shall act in a commercially reasonable manner), have not procured the requisite signatures for the Declaration Amendment, then either party shall be entitled to
terminate this Contract (upon written notice thereof to the non-terminating party). Upon any such termination, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder, other than
any of such liabilities or obligations expressly provided hereunder to survive such termination. 
  

	42.	Off-site Improvements The parties acknowledge that the Declaration was created at the time it was contemplated that one developer would own, control and
develop each of the parcels subject to the Declaration. At this juncture, it is now contemplated that separate owners shall be developing the different parcels within the larger parcel of property governed by the Declaration. It is further
acknowledged that there are development obligations initially undertaken but which have not been completed or not undertaken at all by the original developer of the Property and such larger parcel (those obligations being generally described as
follows: installation of right turn/deceleration lane from Providence Road southbound into the REO Property between the CVS parcel and the Fifth Third parcel; upgrades to the traffic signal at the intersection of Providence Road and Kensington
Drive; and, completion of repairs to Kensington Drive required for acceptance of dedication of Kensington Drive by the Village of Waxhaw as a public right of way). Purchaser and Seller have agreed, in principle, that they shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to agree prior to Closing and memorialize in a written instrument to be executed and delivered at Closing, as to which party shall bear the responsibility for which of such obligations, under what time frame such obligations shall
be completed and what remedies shall be afforded to the other party in the event such obligations shall remain incomplete beyond the agreed upon time frame for completion. It is expressly understood, however, that Seller shall be responsible for the
cost of such obligations. In the event no such agreement is reached as of Closing, then, either party shall have the right to terminate this Contract upon notice to the other, in which event, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and
neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder, other than any of such liabilities or obligations expressly provided hereunder to survive such termination.
