 ESCROW AGREEMENT 
 UMB Bank, N.A. 
 1010 Grand Blvd., 4th Floor 
 Mail Stop: 1020409 
 Kansas City, MO 64106 

Re:              Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT, Inc. 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 CARTER VALIDUS MISSION CRITICAL REIT, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), will issue in a public offering (the “Offering”) shares of its common stock (the
“Stock”) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. SC Distributors, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Dealer Manager”), will
act as dealer manager for the offering of the Stock. The Company is entering into this agreement to set forth the terms on which UMB Bank, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”), will, except as otherwise provided herein, hold and disburse the
proceeds from subscriptions for the purchase of the Stock in the Offering until such time as: (i) in the case of subscriptions received from all non-affiliates of the Company, the Company has received subscriptions for Stock resulting in a
total of 200,000 shares ($2,000,000) of common stock sold in the Offering (the “Required Capital”); (ii) in the case of subscriptions received from residents of Pennsylvania (“Pennsylvania Subscribers”), the
Company has received subscriptions for Stock from non-affiliates of the Company resulting in total minimum capital raised of $86,875,000 (the “Pennsylvania Required Capital”); and (iii) in the case of subscriptions received
from residents of Tennessee (“Tennessee Subscribers”), the Company has received subscriptions for Stock resulting in a total of 1,000,000 shares ($10,000,000) of Stock sold in the Offering (the “Tennessee Required
Capital”). 
 The Company hereby appoints UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for purposes of holding the proceeds from the
subscriptions for the Stock, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth: 

1.            Until such time as the Company has received subscriptions for
Stock resulting in total minimum capital raised equal to the Required Capital and such funds are disbursed from the Escrow Account (as defined below) in accordance with paragraph 3(a) hereof, persons subscribing to purchase the Stock (the
“Subscribers”) will be instructed by the Dealer Manager or any soliciting dealers to remit the purchase price in the form of checks, drafts, wires, Automated Clearing House (ACH) or money orders (hereinafter
“instruments of payment”) payable to the order of “UMB Bank, N.A., Agent for Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT, Inc.” or a recognizable contractor or abbreviation thereof, including but not limited to, “UMB
Bank, N.A., f/b/o CVREIT.” Completed subscription agreements and payment instruments for the purchase price shall be remitted by the broker dealers or registered investment advisors, as applicable, on behalf of persons subscribing to purchase
Stock directly to the Escrow Agent as provided for in Section 12(c) hereof within the time periods required by Rule 15c2-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as set forth below: 

      (a)        If a Dealer conducts its internal supervisory
procedures at the location where subscription documents and checks are initially received, the Dealer shall conduct its suitability review of the transaction and if the transaction is suitable and the paperwork is in good order forward (i) the
subscription documents to the Dealer Manager and (ii) the checks to the Escrow Agent by the end of the next business day following receipt of the subscription documents and the check, prior to the receipt of the Required Capital. 

      (b)        If a Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures
are to be performed at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), the subscription documents and check must be transmitted to the Final Review Office by noon of the next business day following receipt by the Dealer of the
subscription documents and check. The Final Review Office shall, by the end of the next business day following receipt by the Final Review Office of the subscription documents and check, conduct its suitability review of the transaction and if the
transaction is suitable and the paperwork is in good order forward (i) the subscription documents to the Dealer Manager and (ii) the checks to the Escrow Agent, prior to the receipt of the Required Capital. 

After subscriptions are received resulting in total minimum capital raised equal to the Required Capital and such funds are disbursed
from the Escrow Account in accordance with paragraph 3(a) hereof, subscriptions shall continue to be so submitted unless otherwise instructed by the Dealer Manager; provided, however, that Tennessee Subscribers and Pennsylvania Subscribers shall
continue to make checks payable to the order of “UMB Bank, N.A., Agent for Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT, Inc.” until subscriptions are received resulting in total minimum capital raised equal to the Tennessee Required Capital and
the Pennsylvania Required Capital, as applicable, and such funds are disbursed from the Escrow Account in accordance with paragraph 3(a) hereof. Any checks, drafts or money orders received made payable to a party other than the Escrow Agent (or
after the Required Capital is received, made payable to a party other than the party designated by the Dealer Manager) shall be returned to the soliciting dealer who submitted the check, draft or money order. Within one (1) business

 
day after receipt of instruments of payment from the Offering, the Dealer Manager, the Company or their respective agents will (a) send to the Escrow Agent: each Subscriber’s name,
address, number of shares purchased, and purchase price remitted, and (b) Escrow Agent will deposit the instruments of payment from such Subscribers, into an interest-bearing deposit account entitled “Escrow Account for the Benefit of
Subscribers for Common Stock of Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT, Inc.” (the “Escrow Account”), which deposit shall occur within one (1) business day after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of the instrument of payment,
until such Escrow Account has closed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) hereof. Instruments of payment received from Pennsylvania Subscribers and Tennessee Subscribers (as identified as such by the Company) shall be accounted for separately on the
records of the transfer agent. The Escrow Account will be established and maintained in such a way as to permit the interest income calculations described in paragraph 7. The Company shall, and shall cause its agents to, cooperate with the Escrow
Agent in separately accounting for Tennessee and Pennsylvania subscription proceeds in the Escrow Account, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon information provided by the Company or its agents in this regard. 

2.            The Escrow Agent agrees to promptly process for collection the
instruments of payment upon deposit into the Escrow Account. Deposits shall be held in the Escrow Account until such funds are disbursed in accordance with paragraph 3 hereof. Prior to disbursement of the funds deposited in the Escrow Account
such funds shall not be subject to claims by creditors of the Company, the Dealer Manager, any soliciting dealer or any of their respective affiliates. If any of the instruments of payment are returned to the Escrow Agent for nonpayment prior to
receipt of the Required Capital or, in connection with the Tennessee Subscribers, the Tennessee Required Capital or, in connection with subscriptions from Pennsylvania Subscribers, the Pennsylvania Required Capital, the Escrow Agent shall promptly
notify the Dealer Manager and the Company in writing via mail, email or facsimile of such nonpayment, and is authorized to debit the Escrow Account in the amount of such returned payment. 

 3.         (a)         
   (i) Subject to the provisions of subparagraphs 3(b)-3(f) below, once the collected funds in the Escrow Account are an amount equal to or greater than the Required Capital, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company and
instruct the Dealer Manager, or its agent, to deliver an executed IRS Form W-9 for each Subscriber and, upon receiving written instruction from the Company, (A) disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account
representing the gross purchase price for the Stock, and (B) within five business days after the first business day of the succeeding month, disburse to the Subscribers or the Company, as applicable, any interest thereon pursuant to the
provisions of subparagraph 3(f). After such time the Escrow Account shall remain open and the Company shall continue to cause subscriptions for the Stock that are not received from Pennsylvania Subscribers or Tennessee Subscribers to be
deposited therein until the Company informs the Escrow Agent in writing to close the Escrow Account, and thereafter any subscription documents and instruments of payment received by the Escrow Agent from Subscribers other than Pennsylvania
Subscribers shall be forwarded directly to the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “collected funds” shall mean all funds received by the Escrow Agent that have cleared normal banking channels and are in the form of cash.
After the satisfaction of the aforementioned provisions of this paragraph 3(a)(i), in the event the Company receives subscriptions made payable to the Escrow Agent (other than subscriptions that are received from Tennessee Subscribers or
Pennsylvania Subscribers, subscription proceeds may continue to be received in this account generally, but to the extent such proceeds shall not be subject to escrow due to the satisfaction of the aforementioned provisions of this paragraph 3(a)(i),
such proceeds are not subject to this Escrow Agreement and at the instruction of the Company to the Escrow Agent shall be transferred from the Escrow Account or deposited directly into, as the case may be, a commercial deposit account in the name of
the Company with the Escrow Agent (the “Deposit Account”) that has been previously established by the Company, unless otherwise directed by the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it shall do all things necessary in
order to establish the Deposit Account, which shall be 

  
 2 

 
subject to the Escrow Agent’s usual account guidelines and regulations, prior to its use. No provisions of this Escrow Agreement shall apply to the Deposit Account. 

             (ii) regardless of any release of funds
from the Company, the Dealer Manager and soliciting dealers shall continue to forward instruments of payment received from Tennessee Subscribers for deposit into the Escrow Account to the Escrow Agent until such time as the Company notifies the
Escrow Agent in writing that total subscription proceeds equal or exceed the Tennessee Required Capital. Within five days after receipt by the Escrow Agent of such notice, the Escrow Agent shall instruct the Dealer Manager, or its agent, to deliver
an executed IRS Form W-9 for each Tennessee Subscriber and (A) disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds then in the Escrow Account representing the gross purchase price for the Stock, and (B) within five business days
after the first business day of the succeeding month, disburse to the Tennessee Subscribers or the Company, as applicable, any interest thereon pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph 3(f). Following such disbursements, and thereafter any
instruments of payment received by the Escrow Agent from Tennessee Subscribers shall not be subject to this Escrow Agreement and shall be deposited directly into the Escrow Account or the Deposit Account, as instructed in writing by the Company
pursuant to subparagraph 3(a)(i) above. 

             (iii) regardless of any release of funds
from the Escrow Account, the Company, the Dealer Manager and soliciting dealers shall continue to forward instruments of payment received from Pennsylvania Subscribers for deposit into the Escrow Account to the Escrow Agent until such time as the
Company notifies the Escrow Agent in writing that total subscription proceeds equal or exceed the Pennsylvania Required Capital. Within five days after receipt by the Escrow Agent of such notice, the Escrow Agent shall instruct the Dealer Manager,
or its agent, to deliver an executed IRS Form W-9 for each Pennsylvania Subscriber and (A) disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds then in the Escrow Account representing the gross purchase price for the Stock, and
(B) within five business days after the first business day of the succeeding month, disburse to the Pennsylvania Subscribers or the Company, as applicable, any interest thereon pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph 3(f). Following
such disbursements, and thereafter any instruments of payment received by the Escrow Agent from Pennsylvania Subscribers shall not be subject to this Escrow Agreement and shall be deposited directly into the Escrow Account or the Deposit Account, as
instructed in writing by the Company pursuant to subparagraph 3(a)(i) above. 

      (b)            Within
four business days of the close of business on the date that is one year following commencement of the Offering (the “Expiration Date”), the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company if it is not in receipt of evidence of
deposits for the purchase of Stock providing for aggregate offering proceeds that equal or exceed the Required Capital (from all sources but exclusive of any funds received from subscriptions for Stock from entities which the Company has notified
the Escrow Agent are affiliated with the Company). Within ten days following the date of such notice, the Escrow Agent shall promptly return directly to each Subscriber the collected funds deposited in the Escrow Account on behalf of such Subscriber
(unless earlier disbursed in accordance with paragraph 3(c)), or shall return the instruments of payment delivered, but not yet processed for collection prior to such time, in either case, together with interest income (which interest shall be paid
within five business days after the first business day of the succeeding month) in the amounts calculated pursuant to paragraph 7 for each Subscriber at the address provided by the Dealer Manager or the Company to the Escrow Agent, which the Escrow
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the Escrow Agent has not received an executed IRS Form W-9 at such time for each Subscriber, the Escrow Agent shall remit an amount to the Subscribers in accordance with
the provisions hereof, withholding the applicable percentage for backup withholding required by the Internal Revenue Code, as then in effect, from any interest income on subscription proceeds (determined in accordance with paragraph 7) attributable
to each Subscriber for whom the Escrow Agent does not possess an executed IRS Form W-9. 

  
 3 

 
However, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to remit any payments until the Escrow Agent has collected funds represented by such payments. 

      (c)            
Notwithstanding subparagraphs 3(a) and 3(b) above, if the Escrow Agent is not in receipt of evidence of subscriptions accepted on or before the close of business on such date that is 120 days after commencement of the Offering (the Company will
notify the Escrow Agent of the commencement date of the Offering) (the “Initial Escrow Period”), and instruments of payment dated not later than that date, for the purchase of Stock providing for total purchase proceeds from all
nonaffiliated sources that equal or exceed the Pennsylvania Required Capital, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company. Thereafter, the Company shall send to each Pennsylvania Subscriber by certified mail within ten (10) calendar days
after the end of the Initial Escrow Period a notification in the form of Exhibit A. If, pursuant to such notification, a Pennsylvania Subscriber requests the return of his or her subscription funds within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of
the notification (the “Request Period”), the Escrow Agent shall promptly refund directly to each Pennsylvania Subscriber the collected funds deposited in the Escrow Account on behalf of such Pennsylvania Subscriber or shall return
the instruments of payment delivered, but not yet processed for collection prior to such time, to the address provided by the Dealer Manager or the Company or their respective agents to the Escrow Agent, which the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon, together with interest income (which interest shall be paid within five business days after the first business day of the succeeding month) in the amounts calculated pursuant to paragraph 7. Notwithstanding the above, if the Escrow Agent
has not received an executed IRS Form W-9 for such Pennsylvania Subscriber, the Escrow Agent shall thereupon remit an amount to such Pennsylvania Subscriber in accordance with the provisions hereof, withholding the applicable percentage for backup
withholding required by the Internal Revenue Code, as then in effect, from any interest income earned on subscription proceeds (determined in accordance with paragraph 7) attributable to such Pennsylvania Subscriber. However, the Escrow Agent shall
not be required to remit such payments until the Escrow Agent has collected funds represented by such payments. 

      (d)            The
subscription funds of Pennsylvania Subscribers who do not request the return of their subscription funds within the Request Period shall remain in the Escrow Account for successive 120-day escrow periods (a “Successive Escrow
Period”), each commencing automatically upon the termination of the prior Successive Escrow Period, and the Company and Escrow Agent shall follow the notification and payment procedure set forth in subparagraph 3(c) above with respect to
the Initial Escrow Period for each Successive Escrow Period until the occurrence of the earliest of (i) the Expiration Date, (ii) the receipt and acceptance by the Company of subscriptions for the purchase of Stock with total purchase
proceeds that equal or exceed the Pennsylvania Required Capital and the disbursement of funds from Pennsylvania Subscribers in the Escrow Account on the terms specified herein, or (iii) all funds held in the Escrow Account from Pennsylvania
Subscribers having been returned to the Pennsylvania Subscribers in accordance with the provisions hereof. 

      (e)            If the
Company rejects any subscription for which the Escrow Agent has collected funds, the Escrow Agent shall, upon the written request of the Company, promptly issue a refund to the rejected Subscriber at the address provided by the Dealer Manager or the
Company, which the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon. If the Company rejects any subscription for which the Escrow Agent has not yet collected funds but has submitted the Subscriber’s check for collection, the Escrow Agent shall
promptly return the funds in the amount of the Subscriber’s check to the rejected Subscriber, at the address provided by the Dealer Manager or the Company or their respective agents, which the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, after
such funds have been collected. If the Escrow Agent has not yet submitted a rejected Subscriber’s check for collection, the Escrow Agent shall promptly remit the Subscriber’s check directly to the Subscriber. 

  
 4 

  

     (f)            At any time after
funds are disbursed upon the Company’s acceptance of subscriptions pursuant to subparagraph 3(a) above on the fifth business day following the first business day of the next succeeding month following the date of such acceptance, the Escrow
Agent shall promptly provide directly to each Subscriber the amount of the interest payable to the Subscribers; provided that the Escrow Agent is in possession of such Subscriber’s executed IRS Form W-9. In the event an executed IRS Form W-9 is
not received for each Subscriber the Escrow Agent shall remit an amount to the Subscribers in accordance with the provisions hereof, withholding the applicable percentage for backup withholding required by the Internal Revenue Code, as then in
effect, from any interest income on subscription proceeds (determined in accordance with paragraph 7) attributable to those Subscribers for whom the Escrow Agent does not possess an executed IRS Form W-9. However, the Escrow Agent shall not be
required to remit any payments until the Escrow Agent has collected funds represented by such payments. 

     In the event that instruments of payment are returned for nonpayment, the Escrow Agent is
authorized to debit the Escrow Account in accordance with paragraph 2 hereof. 

4.          The Escrow Agent shall provide to the Company monthly statements (or more
frequently as reasonably requested by the Company, which includes, without limitation, if such amounts are not available to the Company at least daily via UMB’s “Web Exchange” program) on the account balance in the Escrow Account, and
the activity in the account since the last report, including without limitation as specifically relates to Tennessee Subscribers and Pennsylvania Subscribers. The Escrow Agent will provide access to its Web Exchange program to allow the Company to
view account balances for the Escrow Account at any time, including without limitation as specifically relates to Tennessee Subscribers and Pennsylvania Subscribers. 
 5.          Prior to the disbursement of funds deposited in the Escrow Account in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 3 hereof, the Escrow Agent
shall invest all of the funds deposited as well as earnings and interest derived therefrom in the Escrow Account, in a bank money-market account unless the costs to the Company for the making of such investment are reasonably expected to exceed the
anticipated interest earnings from such investment in which case the funds and interest thereon shall remain in the respective escrow account until the balance in the respective escrow account reaches the minimum amount necessary for the anticipated
interest earnings from such investment to exceed the costs to the Company for the making of such investment, as determined by the Company based upon applicable interest rates. 
 The following securities are not permissible investments: 
  

	 	(a)	money market funds; 

	 	(b)	corporate equity or debt securities; 

	 	(c)	repurchase agreements; 

	 	(d)	bankers’ acceptances; 

	 	(e)	commercial paper; and 

	 	(f)	municipal securities. 

 It is
hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the parties hereto that the Escrow Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility and, accordingly, shall have no duty to, or
liability for its failure to, provide investment recommendations or investment advice to the parties hereto. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Escrow Agent shall never be required to use, advance or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights and powers hereunder. 

  
 5 

  

6.            The Escrow Agent is entitled to rely upon written instructions
received from the Company or the Dealer Manager or their respective agents, unless the Escrow Agent has actual knowledge that such instructions are not valid or genuine; provided that, if in the Escrow Agent’s opinion, any instructions from the
Company or the Dealer Manager or their respective agents are unclear, the Escrow Agent may request clarification from the Company or the Dealer Manager or their respective agents, as applicable, prior to taking any action, and if such instructions
continue to be unclear, the Escrow Agent may rely upon written instructions from the Company’s legal counsel in distributing or continuing to hold any funds. However, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to disburse any funds attributable to
instruments of payment that have not been processed for collection, until such funds are collected and then shall disburse such funds in compliance with the disbursement instructions from the Company or the Dealer Manager or their respective agents.

 7.            If the Offering terminates prior to receipt of the
Required Capital, or, with respect to the Tennessee Subscribers or Pennsylvania Subscribers or one or more Pennsylvania Subscribers elects to have his or her subscription returned in accordance with paragraph 3, interest income earned on
subscription proceeds deposited in the Escrow Account (the “Escrow Income) shall be remitted to Subscribers to the address provided by the Dealer Manager or the Company to the Escrow Agent, which the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon, in accordance with paragraph 3 and without any deductions for escrow expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Escrow Agent for all escrow expenses. If the Escrow Agent remits interest income pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agent
shall be responsible for any necessary federal tax reporting associated with such income; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any other tax reporting associated with this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall remit all
such Escrow Income in accordance with paragraph 3. If the Company chooses to leave the Escrow Account open after receiving the Required Capital then it shall make regular acceptances of subscriptions therein, but no less frequently than monthly.

 8.            The Escrow Agent shall receive compensation from
the Company as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto, which such Exhibit B is hereby incorporated by reference. 

9.            In performing any of its duties hereunder, the Escrow Agent
shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses, or expenses, except for willful misconduct, breach of trust, or gross negligence. Accordingly, the Escrow Agent shall not incur any such liability with respect to any action taken or
omitted (a) in good faith upon advice of the Escrow Agent’s counsel given with respect to any questions relating to the Escrow Agent duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, or (b) in reliance upon any instrument, including
any written instrument or instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and validity and effectiveness of its provisions but also as to the truth and accuracy of information contained therein, which the Escrow Agent
shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons and to conform to the provisions of this Agreement. 
 10.            The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that may be imposed on or incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with acceptance of appointment as the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the performance of the
duties hereunder, including any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving the subject matter hereof, except where such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses result from willful misconduct, breach of trust, or gross negligence.

 11.            In the event of a dispute between the parties
hereto sufficient in the Escrow Agent’s discretion to justify doing so, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to tender into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction all money or property in its hands under this Agreement,
together with such legal 

  
 6 

 
pleadings as deemed appropriate, and thereupon be discharged from all further duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In the event of any uncertainty as to the duties hereunder, the Escrow
Agent may refuse to act under the provisions of this Agreement pending order of a court of competent jurisdiction and shall have no liability to the Company or to any other person as a result of such action. Any such legal action may be brought in
such court, as the Escrow Agent shall determine to have jurisdiction thereof. The filing of any such legal proceedings shall not deprive the Escrow Agent of its compensation earned prior to such filing. 

12.          All communications and notices required or permitted by this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally or by messenger or by overnight delivery service or when received via telecopy or other electronic transmission, in all cases addressed to the person for whom it is
intended at such person’s address set forth below or to such other address as a party shall have designated by notice in writing to the other party in the manner provided by this paragraph:

 EXHIBIT A

 [Form of Notice to Pennsylvania Subscribers] 
 You have tendered a subscription to purchase shares of common stock of Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT, Inc. (the “Company”). Your subscription is currently being held in escrow. The
guidelines of the Pennsylvania Securities Commission do not permit the Company to accept subscriptions from Pennsylvania residents until an aggregate of $86,875,000 of gross offering proceeds have been received by the Company. The Pennsylvania
guidelines provide that until this minimum amount of offering proceeds is received by the Company, every 120 days during the offering period Pennsylvania Subscribers may request that their subscription be returned. 

If you wish to continue your subscription in escrow until the Pennsylvania minimum subscription amount is received, nothing further is
required. 
 If you wish to terminate your subscription for the Company’s common stock and have your subscription returned

Accounts.    The Advisor may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in its own name for the account of the Company and the Partnership or in the name of the Company or in the name of the Partnership and may
collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on behalf of the Company, under such terms and conditions as the Board may approve, provided that no funds of the Company or the
Partnership shall be commingled with the funds of the Advisor; and the Advisor shall from time to time, upon request by the Board, its Audit Committee or the auditors of the Company, render appropriate accountings of such collections and payments to
the Board, its Audit Committee and the auditors of the Company. 
 2.05      Records;
Access.    The Advisor shall maintain appropriate records of all its activities hereunder and make such records available for inspection by the Board and by counsel, auditors and authorized agents of the Company, at any
time or from time to time, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours. The Advisor shall at all reasonable times have access to the books and records of the Company and the Partnership. 

2.06      Limitations on Activities.    Anything else in this Agreement
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action which, in its sole judgment made in good faith, would (a) adversely affect the status of the Company as a REIT, (b) subject the Company to regulation under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (c) violate any law, rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company or the Partnership, the Shares or its other securities, or
(d) not be permitted by the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, except if such action shall be ordered by the Board, in which case the Advisor shall notify promptly the Board of the Advisor’s judgment of the potential impact of such
action and shall refrain from taking such action until it receives further clarification or instructions from the Board. In such event the Advisor shall have no liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Board so
given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor, its directors, officers, employees and stockholders, and the directors, officers, employees and stockholders of the Advisor’s Affiliates shall not be liable to the Company or to the Board
or Stockholders for any act or omission by the Advisor, its directors, officers, employees or stockholders, or for any act or omission of any Affiliate of the Advisor, its directors, officers, employees or stockholders, except as provided in
Section 5.02 of this Agreement. 

  
 10 

  

2.07      Other Activities of the Advisor.    Nothing herein contained
shall prevent the Advisor or its Affiliates from engaging in other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by
the Advisor or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, employee, or stockholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other
Person. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company or the Partnership are participants, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein. The Advisor shall report to the Board the
existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor’s obligations to the Company or the Partnership and its obligations to or
its interest in any other Person. The Advisor or its Affiliates shall promptly disclose to the Board knowledge of such condition or circumstance. The Advisor shall inform the Board at least quarterly of the investment opportunities that
were offered to other programs sponsored by the Sponsor, Advisor or any Director or their Affiliates with similar investment objectives as the Company’s. If the Sponsor, Advisor, any Director or Affiliates thereof have sponsored other
investment programs with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the same time as the Company, it shall be the duty of the Board (including the Independent Directors) to adopt the method set forth in the Company’s
most recent Prospectus for its Shares or another reasonable method by which investments are to be allocated to the competing investment entities and to use their best efforts to apply such method fairly to the Company. 

ARTICLE III 
 COMPENSATION 
 3.01      Fees.

      (a)        Asset
Management Fee.  The Company shall pay to the Advisor an Asset Management Fee equal to 1/12th of 1.00% of the sum of the Contract Purchase Price, the Acquisition Expenses, Construction Fee and other customarily capitalized costs but excluding Acquisition Fees, monthly in arrears based on Assets
held by the Company on the last day of such month; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to pay such fee shall be deferred when the Company’s Distribution Payout Ratio is less than 100%. The amount of Asset Management Fees
deferred in a particular period will be equal to that amount which, if paid, would cause the Company’s then-current Distribution Payout Ratio to be 100% or less. If the Company’s Distribution Payout Ratio is greater than 100%, the excess
MFFO will be used to repay any previously Deferred Asset Management Fees. 

    (b)        Acquisition and Advisory
Fees.  The Company shall pay the Advisor, or an Affiliate of the Advisor, a fee in the amount of 2.0% of the Contract Purchase Price of each Asset as Acquisition and Advisory Fees. The total of all Acquisition Fees and any
Acquisition Expenses shall be limited in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and shall not exceed six percent (6%) of the Contract Purchase Price. Acquisition and Advisory Fees shall be paid as follows: (1) for real property
(including properties where development/redevelopment is expected), at the time of acquisition, (2) for development/redevelopment projects (other than the initial acquisition of the real property), at the time a final budget is approved, and
(3) for loans and similar assets (including without limitation mezzanine loans), quarterly based on the value of loans made or acquired. In the case of a development/redevelopment project subject to clause (2) above, upon completion
of the development/redevelopment project, the Advisor shall determine the actual amounts paid. To the extent the amounts actually paid vary from the budgeted amounts on which the Acquisition and Advisory Fee was initially based, the Advisor
will pay or invoice the Company for 2.0% of the budget variance such that the Acquisition and Advisory Fee is ultimately 2.0% of amounts expended on such development/redevelopment project. 

  
 11 

  

    (c)        Disposition Fee.  If the
Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by a majority of the Independent Directors) in connection with the Sale of one or more Properties, the Advisor or such Affiliate shall receive a
Disposition Fee up to the lesser of 2.0% of the Contract Sales Price and one-half of the brokerage commission paid if a third party broker is involved. The Disposition Fee may be paid in addition to Disposition Fee paid to non-Affiliates,
provided that the total Disposition Fee paid to all Persons by the Company (including the Disposition Fee) shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Competitive Disposition Fee or (ii) 6.0% of the Contract Sales Price
of a Property. 

    (d)        Subordinated Share of Net Sales
Proceeds.  The Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds shall be payable to the Advisor in an amount equal to 15.0% of Net Sales Proceeds remaining after the Stockholders have received Distributions equal to the sum of the
Stockholders’ 8.0% Return and 100% of Invested Capital. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a promissory note, or any combination of the foregoing. In no event will the Company pay a
Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds, including any interest payable in connection with any promissory note issued by the Company in payment of the Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds, in excess of the amount that would be presumptively
reasonable under Section 9.7 of the Articles of Incorporation. 

    (e)        Subordinated Incentive Listing
Fee.  Upon Listing, the Advisor shall be entitled to the Subordinated Incentive Listing Fee in an amount equal to 15.0% of the amount by which (i) the Market Value of the Company’s outstanding Shares plus distributions paid
by the Company prior to Listing, exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) 100% of Invested Capital and (B) the total Distributions required to be paid to the Stockholders in order to pay the Stockholders’ 8.0% Return from inception through
the date that Market Value is determined. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a promissory note, or any combination of the foregoing. If the Company pays such fee with a promissory note, payment
in full shall be made from the Net Sales Proceeds of the first Sale completed by the Company after Listing, and interest will accrue at a rate deemed fair and reasonable by the Board from and after the date of Listing. If the Net Sales Proceeds
from the first Sale after Listing are insufficient to pay the promissory note in full, including accrued interest, then the promissory note shall be paid in part with such Net Sales Proceeds, and in part from the Net Sales Proceeds from the next
successive Sales until the amount owing pursuant to such promissory note is paid in full. If the promissory note has not been paid in full within five years from the date of Listing, then the Advisor, or its successors or assigns, may elect to
convert the unpaid balance, including accrued but unpaid interest, into Shares at a price per Share equal to the average closing price of the Shares over the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of such election. If the Shares are no
longer Listed at such time as the promissory note becomes convertible into Shares as provided by this paragraph, then the price per Share, for purposes of conversion, shall equal the fair market value for the Shares as determined by the Board based
upon the Appraised Value of the Assets as of the date of election. 

  
 12 

  

    (f)        Changes to Fee Structure.  In
the event of Listing, the Company and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee structure appropriate for a perpetual-life entity. 
      (g)        Sourcing Fee.  If the Advisor sources a property that the Company acquires, and if the Property, net of all fees
and expenses, will have a yield that is reasonably expected to generate MFFO sufficient to fully cover an 8.0% distribution, then the Company will pay to the Advisor a Sourcing Fee of up to 1% of the Contract Purchase Price of each such Property
acquired. The Sourcing Fee will be reduced by any amounts received by the Advisor or its Affiliates from the seller of the Property in excess of 1% of the Contract Purchase Price of the Property and by any amount necessary to support the
8.0% distribution threshold. The Company will not pay a Sourcing Fee for any Properties that the Advisor identifies for the Company that includes a third-party broker commission, unless the Company’s board of directors otherwise
determines. 
  3.02      Expenses. 

    (a)        In addition to the compensation paid to the
Advisor pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, the Company or the Partnership shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor, as applicable, for all of the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor in connection with the services it provides to the
Company and the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to: 

(i)        Organization and Offering Expenses; provided, however, that within 60
days after the end of the month in which an Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company for any Organization and Offering Expenses reimbursed by the Company to the Advisor to the extent that such reimbursements exceed 1.25% of the
Gross Proceeds raised in the completed Offering. The Advisor shall be responsible for the payment of Organization and Offering Expenses in excess of 1.25% of the Gross Proceeds. In the event the Company does not raise the minimum amount of
the Offering as set forth in the Prospectus, the Advisor shall not be reimbursed for any Organization and Offering Expenses; 
 (ii)        Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of Assets in an amount estimated to be up to 0.5% of the Contract
Purchase Price, subject, however, to the aggregate six percent (6%) cap on Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses set forth in Section 3.01(b); 
 (iii)        the actual cost of goods, services and materials used by the Company and obtained from Persons not affiliated with the Advisor, other than Acquisition
Expenses, including brokerage fees paid in connection with the purchase and sale of Shares; 

(iv)        interest and other costs for borrowed money, including discounts,
points and other similar fees; 
 (v)        taxes and assessments on
income or property and taxes as an expense of doing business; 

(vi)        costs associated with insurance required in connection with the
business of the Company or by the Board; 
 (vii)        expenses of
managing and operating Assets owned by the Company, whether payable to an Affiliate of the Company or a non-affiliated Person; 

  
 13 

  

(viii)        all expenses in connection with payments to the Board for
attendance at meetings of the Board and Stockholders; 

(ix)        expenses associated with Listing or with the issuance and
distribution of Shares and other securities of the Company, such as Selling Commissions and fees, advertising expenses, taxes, legal and accounting fees, and Listing and registration fees; 

(x)        expenses connected with payments of Distributions in cash or otherwise
made or caused to be made by the Company to the Stockholders; 

(xi)        expenses of organizing, reorganizing, liquidating or dissolving the
Company or amending the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws; 

(xii)        expenses of any third party transfer agent for the Shares and of
maintaining communications with Stockholders, including the cost of preparation, printing, and mailing annual reports and other Stockholder reports, proxy statements and other reports required by governmental entities; 

(xiii)        administrative service expenses, including all costs and expenses
incurred by Advisor in fulfilling its duties hereunder. Such costs and expenses may include reasonable wages and salaries and other employee-related expenses of all employees of Advisor who are engage in the management, administration,
operations, and marketing of the Company, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating to such employees, and legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses which are directly related to their services provided hereunder; and 

(xiv)        audit, accounting and legal fees. 

    No reimbursement shall be made for costs of personnel of the Advisor or its Affiliates to the
extent that such personnel perform services in connection with services for which the Advisor receives the Acquisition and Advisory Fee or the Disposition Fee. 
     (b)        Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and the Partnership and payable pursuant to this Section 3.02
shall be reimbursed no less than quarterly to the Advisor within 60 days after the end of each quarter. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company and the Partnership during each quarter, and shall deliver
such statement to the Company and the Partnership within 45 days after the end of each quarter. 

3.03      Other Services.    Should the Board request that the Advisor or
any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company and the Partnership other than set forth in Section 2.02, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and
the Board, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
  3.04      Reimbursement to the Advisor.    The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor, at the end of any fiscal quarter, for any Operating
Expenses to the extent that, in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) the Operating Expenses exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of (i) 2% of Average Invested Assets or (ii) 25% of
Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for that period of four consecutive quarters unless the Independent Directors determine that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which the Independent Directors deem
sufficient. If the Independent Directors do not approve such excess as being so justified, any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company.

 ARTICLE IV

 TERM AND TERMINATION 
  4.01      Term; Renewal.    Subject to Section 4.02 hereof, this Agreement has a one-year term and shall continue in force until the
first anniversary of the date hereof. Thereafter, this Agreement may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms upon mutual consent of the parties. It is the Board’s duty to evaluate the performance of the Advisor
annually before renewing the Agreement, and each such renewal shall be for a term of no more than one year. 

4.02      Termination.    This Agreement will automatically
terminate upon Listing. This Agreement also may be terminated at the option of either party (i) immediately upon a Change of Control or (ii) upon 60 days written notice without cause or penalty (in either case, if termination is by
the Company, then such termination shall be upon the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement which provide for payment to the Advisor of expenses, fees or other
compensation following the date of termination ( i.e. , Sections 3.01(e) and 4.03) shall continue in full force and effect until all amounts payable thereunder to the Advisor are paid in full. The provisions of Sections 2.05, 2.06
and 4.03 through 6.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

4.03      Payments to and Duties of Advisor upon Termination. 

    (a)        After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall
not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder except it shall be entitled to and receive from the Company within 30 days after the effective date of such termination all unpaid reimbursements of expenses, subject to the provisions
of Section 3.04 hereof, and all contingent liabilities related to fees payable to the Advisor prior to termination of this Agreement, provided that the Subordinated Incentive Listing Fee, if any, shall be paid in accordance with the provisions
of Section 3.01(e). 
     (b)        Upon
termination, unless such termination is by the Company because of a material breach of this Agreement by the Advisor or occurs upon a Change of Control, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive a payment of the Performance Fee equal to 15.0% of the
amount, if any, by which (i) the Appraised Value of the Assets on the Termination Date, less the amount of all indebtedness secured by the Assets, plus the total Distributions paid to Stockholders from the Company’s inception through the
Termination Date less any amounts distributable as of the termination date to limited partners of the Partnership who receive operating partnership units, exceeds (ii) Invested Capital plus an amount equal to the Stockholders’ 8.0% Return
from inception through the Termination Date. The Company shall pay such Performance Fee, with interest, at such time as the Company completes the first Sale after the Termination Date provided, however, the Advisor may elect to defer its right
to receive the Performance Fee until either a Listing or other liquidity event for the Company. Payment shall be made from the Net Sales Proceeds of such Sale. Interest will accrue beginning on the Termination Date at a rate deemed fair
and reasonable by the Board on the Termination Date. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a promissory note, or any combination of the foregoing. If the Net Sales Proceeds from the first Sale after
the Termination Date are insufficient to pay the Performance Fee in full, plus accrued interest, then the Performance Fee shall be paid in part with such Net Sales Proceeds, and in part from the Net Sales Proceeds from the next successive Sales
until the Performance Fee is paid in full, with interest. If the Performance Fee has not been paid in full within five years from the Termination Date, then the Advisor, its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the balance of the fee,
including accrued but unpaid interest, into Shares at a price per Share equal to the average closing price of the Shares over the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of such election if the Shares are Listed at such time. If the
Shares are not Listed at such time, the Advisor, its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the balance of the fee, including accrued but unpaid interest, into Shares at a price per Share equal to the fair market value for the Shares as
determined by the Board based upon the Appraised Value of the Assets on the date of election. 

  
 15 

  

(c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if termination occurs upon a Change of
Control, the Advisor shall be entitled to payment of the Performance Fee equal to 15.0% of the amount, if any, by which (i) the value of the Assets on the Termination Date as determined in good faith by the Board, including a majority of the
Independent Directors, based upon such factors as the consideration paid in connection with the Change of Control and the most recent Appraised Value, less the amount of all indebtedness secured by the Assets, plus the total Distributions paid to
Stockholders from the Company’s inception through the Termination Date, exceeds (ii) Invested Capital plus an amount equal to the Stockholders’ 8.0% Return from inception through the Termination Date. No deferral of payment of
the Performance Fee may be made under this Section 4.03(c). 

(d)        In the event that the Advisor disagrees with the valuation of Shares
pursuant to Section 4.03(b) where the Shares are not Listed for purposes of determining the number of Shares to be issued to the Advisor following the Advisor’s election to convert the balance of the Performance Fee owed to the Advisor,
then the fair market value of such Shares shall be determined by an Independent Appraiser of equity value selected by the Advisor. 
 (e)        Notwithstanding sections 4.03 (b) and (c), in the event the Subordinated Incentive Listing Fee is paid to the Advisor following Listing, no
Performance Fee will be paid to the Advisor. 
 (f)        The Advisor
shall promptly upon termination: 
  (i)        pay over to the
Company all money collected and held for the account of the Company or the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled; 

(ii)       deliver to the Board a full accounting, including a statement showing all
payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board; 
 (iii)      deliver to the Board all assets, including the Assets, and documents of the Company then in the custody of the Advisor; and 

(iv)      cooperate with, and take all reasonable actions requested by, the Company or the
Partnership to provide an orderly management transition. 
  ARTICLE V 

INDEMNIFICATION 
 5.01    (a)        The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors,
partners and employees, from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and
related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance, subject to any limitations imposed by the laws of the State of Maryland, the Articles of Incorporation and the NASAA Guidelines under the Articles of Incorporation. The Company shall not
indemnify or hold harmless the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, for any liability or loss suffered by the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors,
partners and employees, nor shall it provide that the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company, unless all of the following
conditions are met: (i) the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best
interests of the Company; (ii) the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, were acting on behalf of or performing services of the Company; (iii) such liability or loss was not the
result of negligence or misconduct by the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees; and (iv) such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of the
Company’s net assets and not from Stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, shall not be indemnified by the Company for any losses,
liability or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count
involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; and (iii) a court of
competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been
advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities
laws. 

  
 16 

  

(b)        The Articles of Incorporation provide that the advancement of Company
funds to the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought is permissible only
if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company; (ii) the legal action is initiated by a third-party who is
not a Stockholder or the legal action is initiated by a Stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; (iii) the advisor or its Affiliates provides the Company
with a written affirmation of their good faith belief that they have met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification; and (iv) the Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees,
undertake to repay the advanced funds to the Company together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such Advisor or its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, are found not
to be entitled to indemnification. 
 (c)        Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 5.01, the Advisor shall not be entitled to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any activity which the Advisor shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the Company pursuant
to Section 5.02. 
 5.02      Indemnification by
Advisor.    The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses including attorneys’ fees, to the extent that
(i) such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and (ii) are incurred by reason of the Advisor’s bad faith, fraud, misfeasance, misconduct, negligence or reckless
disregard of its duties. The Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Advisor.

 ARTICLE VI

 MISCELLANEOUS 
  6.01      Assignment to an Affiliate.    This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate of the Advisor with the approval of a
majority of the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors). The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board. This Agreement shall not be
assigned by the Company or the Partnership without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company or the Partnership to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and
obligations of the Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company and the Partnership are bound by this Agreement. This Agreement shall be
binding on successors to the Company and the Partnership resulting from a Change of Control or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company or the Partnership, and shall likewise be binding upon any successor to the Advisor.

 6.02      Relationship of Advisor and Company.    The
Company, the Partnership and the Advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them. The
Advisor and its Affiliates have or may have a proprietary interest in the name “Carter Validus.” The Advisor hereby grants to the Company, to the extent of any proprietary interest the Advisor may have in the name “Carter
Validus,” a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the name “Carter Validus” during the term of this Agreement. The Company agrees that the Advisor and its Affiliates will have the right
to approve of any use by the Company of the name “Carter Validus,” such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain the Advisor or one of
its Affiliates to perform advisory services for the Company, the Company will, promptly after receipt of written request from the Advisor, cease to conduct business under or use the name “Carter Validus” or any derivative thereof and the
Company shall change its name and the names of any of its subsidiaries to a name that does not contain the name “Carter Validus” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of
indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any its Affiliates. At such time, the Company will also make any changes to any trademarks, service marks or other marks necessary to remove any references to the word
“Carter Validus.” Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles
(including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having “Carter Validus” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by the Company.
Neither the Advisor nor any of its Affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the name “Carter Validus” licensed hereunder or the use thereof (including without limitation as to whether the use of
the name “Carter Validus” will be free from infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Advisor represents and warrants that it is not aware of any pending claims or litigation or
of any claims threatened in writing regarding the use or ownership of the name “Carter Validus.” 

6.03      Notices.    Any notice, report or other communication required
or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of giving such notice, report or other communication is required by the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, or accepted by the party to whom it is given, and shall be
given by being delivered by hand or by overnight mail or other overnight delivery service to the addresses set forth herein:
