 -21- 

 
to the Cut-Off Time. Without derogating from the first sentence of Section 4.3(c), if SmartStop delivers the Satisfaction Notice pursuant to
Section 4.3 prior to the Due Diligence Date, SmartStop shall be deemed to have accepted for all purposes all matters which have been Disclosed to SmartStop before the Cut-Off Time; provided that, if,
within fifteen (15) days prior to the expiry of the Cut-Off Time, SmartStop receives any such amendment or supplement to the Due Diligence Deliveries, or any other documents or information which Smart has
failed to deliver in accordance with Section 4.1 (collectively, “Additional Information”), and SmartStop determines, acting reasonably, that due to the materiality and/or volume of such Additional Information it requires
additional time to complete its Due Diligence in respect of such Additional Information, then provided that SmartStop delivers the Satisfaction Notice pursuant to Section 4.3 on or prior to the originally scheduled Due Diligence Date, SmartStop
shall have a further right of due diligence (“Additional Due Diligence”) in respect of such Additional Information only by providing Smart with written notice (the “Extension Notice”) of its intention to extend the
Due Diligence Date by a reasonable period of time up to an additional twenty (20) days (the “Extended Due Diligence Date”), and upon delivery of such Extension Notice, the Due Diligence Date with respect to such Additional

Smart on or before the Extended Due Diligence Date a written notice (the “Additional Satisfaction Notice”) stating that it is satisfied in its Sole Discretion with the results of the aforesaid matters; and (iii) if SmartStop
fails to give Smart the Additional Satisfaction Notice by such time, then this Agreement shall terminate automatically at such time and, upon such termination, SmartStop and Smart shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement (except
for those obligations which are expressly stated to survive the termination of this Agreement) and the Deposit then being held and all interest accrued thereon shall be dealt with in accordance with Section 5.2. If: (i) any representation
or warranty of Smart in this Agreement (other than the Fundamental Representations) is incorrect or inaccurate but SmartStop has received written notice from Smart or its representatives before the Cut-Off
Time; and/or (ii) before the Cut-Off Time, SmartStop otherwise becomes aware of the matter which causes such representation or warranty to be incorrect or inaccurate, then, in each case, such
representation and warranty shall be deemed to have been qualified by reference to such matter.

First Deposit, if (and only if) the Agreement has not terminated prior to such time, then not later than 5:00 p.m. on the second Business Day after the Due Diligence Date SmartStop shall pay the amount of Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00)
(the “Second Deposit”) by wire transfer to Smart’s Solicitors, in trust. 
 (c) If SmartStop fails to pay the First
Deposit and/or the Second Deposit to Smart’s Solicitors, in trust, by the time required hereunder, SmartStop shall be in default hereunder and the Smart may terminate this Agreement upon two (2) Business Days written notice given to
SmartStop at any time thereafter (unless SmartStop has cured such default within such two Business Day period).

interest earned thereon, shall be forfeited and paid to Smart as liquidated damages for all loss or damage that may be suffered by Smart as a result of such default (the Parties agreeing such amount constitutes a genuine pre-estimate of the loss and damage Smart would suffer in such circumstances) and such liquidated damages shall constitute Smart’s sole right and remedy, at law or in equity, with respect to such default of

 (e) If the Transaction is completed, the Deposit shall be credited against the Initial
Funding Obligation Amount and shall be paid by Smart’s Solicitors to the Limited Partnership on Closing, and the interest accrued on the Deposit shall be returned to SmartStop on Closing. 

(f) The Deposit will be held by Smart’s Solicitors in trust and will be invested by Smart’s Solicitors in an interest bearing trust
account or term deposit or other similar certificate of deposit with a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank pending Closing of the Transaction or earlier termination of this Agreement. In holding and dealing with the Deposit and any interest earned
thereon pursuant to this Agreement, Smart’s Solicitors are not bound in any way by any agreement other than this Agreement (and the acknowledgement agreement confirming the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated below), and Smart’s
Solicitors shall not be considered to assume any duty, liability or responsibility other than to hold the Deposit and any interest earned thereon in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and to pay the Deposit and any interest earned
thereon to the Person becoming entitled thereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement except in the event of a dispute between the Parties as to entitlement to the Deposit. In the case of such dispute, Smart’s Solicitors may, in their
discretion, or shall, if requested by either SmartStop or Smart, pay the Deposit and all interest earned thereon, into court, whereupon Smart’s Solicitors shall have no further obligations relating to the Deposit and all interest earned
thereon. Smart’s Solicitors will not, under any circumstances, be required to verify or determine the validity of any notice or other document whatsoever delivered to Smart’s Solicitors in connection with the Deposit and Smart’s
Solicitors are hereby relieved of any liability or responsibility for any loss or damage which may arise as the result of the acceptance by Smart’s Solicitors of any such notice or other document in good faith, provided that Smart’s
Solicitors shall not be relieved of any liability or responsibility for any loss or damage which may arise if Smart’s Solicitors release the Deposit and all interest earned thereon to Smart or SmartStop, as the case may be, after having
received prior written notice from the other claiming entitlement to such Deposit and all interest earned thereon or a dispute to such entitlement. Smart’s Solicitors will be entitled to rely upon written instructions received from SmartStop in
respect of the investment of the Deposit and all interest earned thereon. The Parties acknowledge to Smart’s Solicitors that Smart’s Solicitors may rely upon the provisions of this Section notwithstanding that Smart’s Solicitors are
not a party to this Agreement. SmartStop acknowledges that Smart’s Solicitors are acting as counsel to the Smart Parties and are accepting the role as holder of the Deposit (the “Deposit Holder”) solely as a convenience to the
Parties. Smart and SmartStop, equally each as to fifty (50%), severally agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Deposit Holder harmless from and against any and all Claims suffered or incurred by the Deposit Holder as a result of or arising directly
or indirectly out of or in connection with the Deposit Holder acting as holder of the Deposit under this Agreement except where such Claims result from the Deposit Holder’s own wilful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. SmartStop agrees
that Smart’s Solicitors’ role as Deposit Holder, and any actions or proceedings relating thereto, shall not in any way disqualify Smart’s Solicitors from continuing to act for the Smart Parties in respect of the Transaction, this
Agreement, or any actions or proceedings relating thereto, or in respect of any other matter, action or proceeding. Prior to or concurrently with the delivery of the Deposit, Smart, SmartStop and the Deposit Holder agree to enter into an
acknowledgement agreement confirming the provisions of this Section 5.2(f) in the form attached hereto as Schedule I. 
 (g) The
provisions of this Section 5.2 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement regardless of the cause of such termination.

expeditiously and reasonably in settling any disputes arising in respect of the initial and any subsequent draft of the Statement of Adjustments. 

(b) If the final cost or amount of any item which is to be adjusted cannot be determined at Closing, then (unless otherwise provided in this
Section 5.3) an initial adjustment for such item shall be made at Closing, such amount to be estimated by Smart, acting reasonably, as of the Closing Date on the basis of the best evidence available at the Closing as to what the final cost or
amount of such item will be. All amounts which have been estimated because they have not been finally determined by Closing shall be finally adjusted in accordance with this Section 5.3(b) (such final adjustments being the “Post-Closing
Adjustments”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.3, all adjustments and Post-Closing Adjustments to be made pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be completed on or before the date which is no later than thirty
(30) days after the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Final Adjustment Date”) and no Claim for any re-adjustment may
be made by either Party thereafter. 
 (c) Smart and SmartStop hereby acknowledge and agree that in the event that there are any realty or
business tax appeals for the period prior to Closing, Smart may, at its option, continue such appeals and Smart shall be entitled to receive any rebate, refund, credit, reassessment, readjustment, payment and/or the like from time to time (each
being a “Tax Refund”) resulting therefrom; provided that Smart shall pursue such appeals in a commercially reasonable manner and consult with the Limited Partnership with respect to, and the Limited Partnership acting reasonably
shall have the right to approve, any final settlement or disposition of any such appeal. Any Tax Refund for the calendar year in which Closing occurs (after deduction of
out-of-pocket expenses in conducting any such appeal or reassessment, including any commissions payable to agents or consultants) shall be readjusted as of the Closing
Adjustment Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement after the conclusion of any assessment appeal notwithstanding such readjustment occurs after the Final Adjustment Date. Each of the Limited Partnership and Smart shall co-operate with the other with respect to all such appeals or reassessments and shall provide the other with access to any necessary documents or materials required to continue any such appeals or reassessments. To
the extent the Limited Partnership receives any Tax Refund in respect of the period prior to the Closing Adjustment Date, the Limited Partnership shall hold such Tax Refund in trust for Smart and shall endorse in favour of Smart and deliver to Smart
the Tax Refund forthwith 

  
 -32- 

 
upon receipt. Similarly, to the extent Smart receives any Tax Refund for the period following the Closing Adjustment Date, Smart shall hold such Tax Refund in trust for the Limited Partnership
and shall endorse in favour of the Limited Partnership and deliver to the Limited Partnership the Tax Refund forthwith upon receipt. 
 (d)
Notwithstanding the Closing, the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 and any Closing Documents, it is agreed that Smart shall be entitled after Closing to any amounts payable to Smart or the Smart Nominees, pursuant to, or in respect of,
any agreements with Governmental Authorities or any other Person whereby any Person is required to pay, reimburse, credit, refund or otherwise contribute any amount in respect of any improvements, work, services or costs that have been constructed,
installed, performed or paid by Smart or the Smart Nominees (in each case, a “Prepaid Cost Refund”). To the extent that the Limited Partnership receives any Prepaid Cost Refund, the Limited Partnership shall receive such Prepaid
Cost Refund in trust for Smart and shall deliver the amount of such Prepaid Cost Refund to Smart forthwith upon receipt. This obligation survives the Closing and the Final Adjustment Date, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.3
and the provisions of any Closing Documents.

auditors, during normal business hours at any time and from time to time for a period of three (3) years after Closing upon reasonable prior notice, access to its books, files and records relating exclusively to the Contributed Property, for
the purpose of calculating or verifying the amount of any Adjustments and dealing with any tax appeals. 
 (f) The provisions of this
Section 5.3 shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement and any provision of this Section 5.3,
the provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement shall prevail. 
 5.4 HST 

To the extent permitted under subsection 221(2) of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) (the “Act”) and any equivalent or
corresponding provision under any applicable provincial or territorial legislation, the Limited Partnership shall self-assess and remit directly to the appropriate Governmental Authority all harmonized sales tax (“HST”) and any
similar value added or multi-staged tax imposed by any applicable provincial or territorial legislation payable in connection with the transfer of any of the Contributed Property. The Limited Partnership shall make and file a return(s) in accordance

 (c) As part of the Limited Partnership’s agreement
to purchase the Contributed Property and accept the Contributed Property and the Lands “as-is, where-is”, and not as a limitation on such agreement, SmartStop

and rights.

Affiliate of any such Person shall be responsible or liable for any misrepresentation, lack of disclosure or incorrect or incomplete disclosure of any nature whatsoever or failure to investigate the Contributed Property on the part of any real
estate broker or sales agent, Smart, any Smart Party, or any Affiliate of any such Person or any other purported or acknowledged agent, representative, contractor, consultant or employee of Smart, any Smart Party, any Affiliate of any such Person,

 -49- 

 8.5 Third Party Claims 

(a) In the case of Claims made by a third party after the Closing (a “Third Party Claim”) against Smart on the one hand or
SmartStop on the other hand (such Party against whom such Third Party Claim is made being referred to in this Section 8.5 as the “Claiming Party” and the other Party being referred to in this Section 8.5 as the
“Responding Party”) with respect to which the Claiming Party seeks to make a Claim against the Responding Party as a result of the breach by the Responding Party of any representation, warranty, certification or 

covenant made by such Responding Party in or pursuant to this Agreement or any Closing Document, the Claiming Party shall give written notice to the
Responding Party of any such Third Party Claim forthwith after receiving notice thereof. If the Claiming Party fails to give such written notice to the Responding Party, such failure shall not preclude the Claiming Party from making such Claim
against the Responding Party, but its right to indemnification may be reduced to the extent that such delay prejudices the defence of the Third Party Claim or increases the amount of liability or the cost of the defence. 

(b) The Responding Party shall have the right, by written notice to the Claiming Party given not later than thirty (30) days after receipt
of the notice referred to in Section 8.5(a), to assume the control of the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim. 

(c) Upon the assumption of control of any Third Party Claim by the Responding Party as contemplated by Section 8.5(b), the Responding
Party shall diligently proceed with the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim at its sole expense, including, if necessary, employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party and, in connection therewith, the
Claiming Party shall co-operate fully (but at the expense of the Responding Party with respect to any reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Claiming Party) to make available to the Responding Party all pertinent information and witnesses under the Claiming Party’s control, make such assignments and take such other steps as in the opinion of counsel for the
Responding Party, acting reasonably, are reasonably necessary to enable the Claiming Party to conduct such defence. The Claiming Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim at its own
expense and no Third Party Claim shall be settled, compromised or otherwise disposed of without the prior written consent of the Claiming Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (such consent shall be deemed to have been given
by the Claiming Party if the Claiming Party has not responded within fifteen (15) Business Days of a request by the Responding Party of such approval). If the Responding Party elects to assume control of the Third Party Claim as contemplated by
Section 8.5(b), the Claiming Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of the Third Party Claim unless the Responding Party consents in writing to such payment or unless the Responding Party, subject to the last sentence of
Section 8.5(d), withdraws from the defence of such Third Party Claim or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Responding Party is entered against the Claiming Party in respect of such Third Party
Claim. 
 (d) If the Responding Party fails to give written notice to the Claiming Party as contemplated by Section 8.5(b), the Claiming
Party shall be entitled to make such settlement of the Third Party Claim, or otherwise deal therewith, as it deems appropriate, acting reasonably, and such settlement or any other final determination of the claim or demand shall be binding upon the
Responding Party. If the Responding Party fails to defend or, if after commencing or undertaking such defence, fails to prosecute or withdraws from such defence, the Claiming Party shall have the right to undertake the defence or settlement thereof.
If the Claiming Party assumes the defence of any Third Party Claim and proposes to settle it prior to a 

  
 -50- 

 
final judgment thereon or to forego any appeal with respect thereto, then the Claiming Party shall give the Responding Party prompt written notice thereof, and the Responding Party shall have the
right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defence of such Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.5. 

(e) In the event that the Responding Party subsequently recovers all or part of a Third Party Claim from any other Person legally obligated to
pay the same, the Responding Party shall forthwith repay to the Claiming Party the amounts so recovered up to any amount not exceeding the amount theretofore paid by the Claiming Party by way of indemnity. 

(f) This Section shall survive the Closing.

notice to Smart and SmartStop of the determination of such Substantial Damage, elect to terminate this Agreement, and upon delivery of such notice this Agreement shall terminate and SmartStop and Smart shall be released from all obligations under
this Agreement (except for those obligations which are expressly stated in Section 10.19 to survive the termination of this Agreement) and the Deposit and interest accrued thereon shall be dealt with in accordance with Section 5.2.

proceeds with respect to such Relevant Damage (including insurance proceeds to cover lost rent and other income from the Lands from and after the Closing Date, if any, but excluding any insurance for loss of income suffered by Smart prior to the
Closing Date) and any claim Smart may have against any Person in connection with such Relevant Damage. 

 After Closing,
the Limited Partnership shall promptly and diligently repair or cause to be repaired such Relevant Damage at its own expense. Each of Smart and SmartStop shall forthwith notify the other upon becoming aware of the existence of any Relevant Damage.

 If the Relevant Damage occurs at such time that there is insufficient time for Smart or SmartStop to make its election hereunder, the
Closing Date shall be postponed to a date which is five Business Days after the earlier of the date such election is made or the period for making such election has expired, or if such date is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day
thereafter.

Event”), Smart shall forthwith thereafter give notice thereof to SmartStop and the following shall apply:

	 	(b)	 If such loss or damage is not Substantial Expropriation, or is Substantial Expropriation but no Party has

	 	(i)	 no Party shall have any right to terminate this Agreement by virtue thereof; 

 

	 	(ii)	 the Parties shall complete the Transaction;

 4. 

CONDITIONS TO CLOSING 

4.1    Seller’s Obligations. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (at Seller’s expense), within five
(5) business days after the Effective Date, true, correct, complete and legible copies of all of the due diligence items listed on Schedule “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein with respect to the Property
(collectively, the “Due Diligence Items”). Seller shall provide Purchaser with written notice at such time as Seller determines that all Due Diligence Items have been delivered to Purchaser (the “Due Diligence
Delivery Notice”). Within two (2) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Due Diligence Delivery Notice, Purchaser shall confirm in writing to Seller, if such be the case, that all required Due Diligence Items have
been received by Purchaser, in which event the date that Purchaser receives the Due Diligence Delivery Notice shall be deemed to be the “Due Diligence Receipt Date” (herein so called) for all purposes of this Agreement. In
the event, however, that Purchaser determines that it has not been provided with all of the Due Diligence Items, then Purchaser shall provide Seller with written notice thereof (the “Missing Due Diligence Notice”), within two
(2) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Due Diligence Delivery Notice, enumerating with specificity in such notice which Due Diligence Items have not been provided by Seller (the “Missing Due Diligence
Items”). Within two (2) business days following Seller’s receipt of the Missing Due Diligence Notice, Seller shall provide Purchaser with the Missing Due Diligence Items, together with written notice confirming such delivery
(the “Missing Due Diligence Delivery Notice”). Within two (2) business days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Missing Due Diligence Delivery Notice, accompanied by all Missing Due Diligence Items, Purchaser shall
confirm in writing to Seller that Purchaser has received all required Due Diligence Items, in which event the date that Purchaser receives the Missing Due Diligence Delivery Notice, accompanied by all Missing Due Diligence Items, shall be deemed to
be the Due Diligence Receipt Date for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser may request additional information, documentation or materials concerning the
Property from Seller at any time during the Approval Period, and Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such additional information, documentation or materials to Purchaser, at no cost or expense to Seller, provided it is
within Seller’s possession or under its control, and further provided that the delivery or non-delivery of any such item shall in no manner extend the Approval Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4.1, should Seller (i) fail to timely deliver the Due Diligence Delivery Notice to Purchaser, as required above, or (ii) fail to timely deliver the Missing Due Diligence Delivery Notice
and/or the Missing Due Diligence Items to Purchaser, as required above, then the Due Diligence Receipt Date shall not occur until Purchaser so acknowledges in writing the delivery of the Due Diligence Items, and until such time as Purchaser so
acknowledges the occurrence of the Due Diligence Receipt Date, Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller, whereupon this Agreement automatically shall terminate, the Earnest Money shall be returned by the
Escrow Agent to Purchaser, without the consent or joinder of Seller being required and notwithstanding any contrary instructions which might be provided by Seller, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for
the Surviving Obligations. 
 4.1.1     Approval Period. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and
expiring at 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the earlier of (i) the fortieth (40th) day following the Due Diligence Receipt Date or (ii) the sixtieth (60th) day following the Effective Date (the “Approval Period”), the following matters shall be conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement: 

(a)    Purchaser’s being satisfied, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, that the Property is suitable
for Purchaser’s intended use; and 
 (b)    Purchaser’s being satisfied, in Purchaser’s
sole discretion, with all of the Due Diligence Items. 

 Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to) terminate this Agreement by delivering written
notice of such termination to Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the Approval Period, if, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser decides not to consummate the purchase of the Property contemplated hereby. In such
event, this Agreement will terminate as of the date of such notice, the Escrow Agent shall return all of the Earnest Money to Purchaser, without the consent or joinder of Seller being required and notwithstanding any contrary instructions which
might be provided by Seller, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations. If, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser determines that it desires to consummate the
purchase of the Property contemplated hereby, then Purchaser will give written notice thereof (the “Closing Notice”) to Seller, prior to the expiration of the Approval Period. In the event that Purchaser provides Seller with
the Closing Notice, then Purchaser will be deemed to have waived its termination rights under this Section 4.1.1, the Approval Period will be deemed to have expired and the parties will proceed to Closing subject to all of
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not give Seller the Closing Notice prior to the expiration of the Approval Period and has not previously terminated this Agreement by written notice to Seller, then this Agreement
automatically shall terminate upon the expiration of the Approval Period, and, in such event, immediately following written request to the Escrow Agent from Purchaser, the Escrow Agent shall return all of the Earnest Money to Purchaser, without the
consent or joinder of Seller being required and notwithstanding any contrary instructions which might be provided by Seller, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations. 

4.1.2    Title Commitment. Seller shall convey good and marketable fee simple title to the Property to Purchaser at
Closing, subject only to the “Permitted Encumbrances” (defined below). Within five (5) days following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall obtain, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, a title commitment (the “Title
Commitment”) for a standard form ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) in the amount of the Purchase Price, issued by the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Title Company, insuring good and
marketable fee simple title to the Property, together with legible copies of all exceptions listed therein. Purchaser shall have ten (10) days following its receipt of the Title Commitment, legible copies of all exceptions listed therein and
the “Survey” (defined below), to deliver to Seller written notice of Purchaser’s objections to title (the “Title Objection Letter”). Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure Purchaser’s
objections to title; subject, however, to Seller’s obligation to remove all “Monetary Liens” (as defined below) by Closing. Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing within ten (10) days following Seller’s receipt of the
Title Objection Letter concerning which title objections, if any, Seller has agreed to cure. In the event that Seller does not undertake to cure all of the objections in the Title Objection Letter to Purchaser’s sole satisfaction (or does not
timely respond to the Title Objection Letter), then Purchaser shall have the right for five (5) days after receipt of Seller’s response to the Title Objection Letter (or five (5) days following the expiration of the period within
which Seller was to so respond) to either (i) waive any such title objection in writing and proceed to Closing (in which event such waived title objection shall be deemed to be a “Permitted Encumbrance”, as defined below), or
(ii) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller and receive an immediate refund of the Earnest Money, without the consent or joinder of Seller being required and notwithstanding any contrary instructions which might be provided by
Seller, in which event neither party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for the Surviving Obligations. All exceptions set forth in Schedule B of the Title Commitment (excluding preprinted exceptions)
which are not objected to by Purchaser (including matters initially objected to by Purchaser which objections are subsequently waived in writing) are herein collectively called the “Permitted Encumbrances”. In the event that
any update to the Title Commitment or Survey indicates the existence of any liens, encumbrances or other defects or exceptions (the “Unacceptable Encumbrances”) which were not shown in the initial Title Commitment or Survey
and that are unacceptable to Purchaser, in its sole discretion, Purchaser shall within five (5) days after receipt of any such update to the Title Commitment or Survey notify Seller in writing of its objection to any such Unacceptable
Encumbrance (the “Unacceptable Encumbrance Notice”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall have no obligation to take any steps or bring any action or

 
proceeding or otherwise to incur any expense whatsoever to eliminate or modify any of the Unacceptable Encumbrances; provided, however, that Seller shall, on or prior to Closing, eliminate by
paying, bonding around or otherwise discharging in a manner satisfactory to Purchaser (i) any Unacceptable Encumbrances that arise by, through or under Seller, and (ii) any mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, mechanics’
liens or monetary judgments that appear on the Title Commitment, and (iii) any liens or notices of violation issued by a governmental entity which, if not cured, could reasonably be expected to become a lien on the Property
(“Monetary Liens”). In the event Seller is unable, unwilling or for any reason fails to eliminate or modify all of the Unacceptable Encumbrances to the sole satisfaction of Purchaser (other than the Unacceptable Encumbrances
and Monetary Liens required to be removed by Seller in accordance with the preceding sentence), Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by delivering notice thereof in writing to Seller by the earliest to occur of (i) the Closing Date,
(ii) five (5) days after Seller’s written notice to Purchaser of Seller’s intent to not cure one or more of such Unacceptable Encumbrances, or (iii) ten (10) days after the Unacceptable Encumbrance Notice, in the event
Seller does not timely respond thereto. Upon a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, without the consent or joinder of Seller being required and
notwithstanding any contrary instructions which might be provided by Seller, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations. 

4.1.3    Survey. Purchaser shall obtain within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, at its sole cost and
expense, a current, as-built survey of the Property prepared by a registered surveyor acceptable to Purchaser (the “Survey”), which may be an update of the existing survey delivered by
Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.1 above. Purchaser may also obtain, at its sole cost and expense, a current, as-built survey of the North Side Tract (hereinafter defined)
prepared by a registered surveyor acceptable to Purchaser, which may be an update of the existing survey of the North Side Tract delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.1 above, and Seller agrees to cause its affiliate, Joyland
(as hereinafter defined), to provide Purchaser with access to the North Side Tract for said purposes. 

4.1.4    Contracts. Purchaser shall notify Seller prior to the expiration of the Approval Period which of the
“Contracts” (as defined below) Purchaser will require Seller to cancel at Closing (the “Rejected Contracts”), and Seller hereby agrees to cancel same not later than Closing, at Seller’s sole cost and expense or
if such Rejected Contracts are not cancellable prior to Closing, Seller shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify Purchaser from any and all liability relating thereto. Additionally, any Contracts which are not assignable shall be the sole
responsibility of Seller, if cancellable, shall be cancelled by Seller on or before Closing, and Seller shall and hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser from any and all liability relating thereto. Seller’s indemnification obligations under this
Section 4.1.4 expressly shall survive Closing. 
 4.2    Inspection. During the Approval Period, at any time
and from time to time during normal business hours (and thereafter through the Closing Date), Purchaser may inspect, test, and survey: (a) the Property and any and all portions thereof, including physical and mechanical inspections,
(b) all financial and other records pertaining to the operation of the Property, including, but not limited to, all books, records, documents, accounting and management reports of Seller, and (c) originals of all Leases and Contracts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser must obtain Seller’s prior written approval of the scope and method of any environmental testing or investigation (other than a Phase I environmental site assessment, which shall require no consent or
approval of any kind), prior to Purchaser’s commencement of such inspections or testing. Seller shall cooperate in good faith with Purchaser, Purchaser’s agents and independent contractors in connection with all such inspections, tests and
surveys, including obtaining all necessary tenant consents and/or providing adequate notice to tenants regarding Purchaser’s entry into leased areas on the Property, and making available during normal business hours all relevant personnel to
answer any questions which Purchaser may have regarding the Property. Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole expense, shall repair any and all damage resulting from any of the tests, studies, inspections and investigations performed by or on behalf of
Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.2, and Purchaser shall 

 
indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against all claims for bodily injury or property damage which may be asserted against Seller arising out of the tests, studies, inspections and
investigations performed by or on behalf of Purchaser hereunder, which obligation of indemnification shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no liability with respect to matters
relating to any pre-existing conditions on the Property. Prior to any entry onto the Property by Purchaser or any of its agents, Purchaser shall furnish Seller with evidence that Purchaser or such agent
maintains a policy of general liability insurance providing premises/operations coverage included under the per occurrence/general aggregate coverage, having a combined single limit liability of not less than $1,000,000, naming Seller as an

CLOSING 

6.1    Closing. Assuming that all conditions to closing have been satisfied and this Agreement has not otherwise
been terminated, the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of the Escrow Agent, located at the address set forth in Section 9.1 hereof, on
December 30, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) Seller and Purchaser agree that the Closing shall be consummated through an escrow closing with the Escrow Agent acting as escrow agent, and neither party need be present at
Closing. 
 6.2    Possession. Possession of the Property shall be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing, subject
only to tenants in possession under the Leases. 
 6.3    Proration. All rents, other amounts payable by the
tenants under the Leases and the Tower Leases and Billboard Leases, if any, and all other income with respect to the Property for the month in which the Closing occurs, to the extent collected by Seller on or before the Closing Date, and real estate
and personal property taxes and other assessments with respect to the Property for the year in which the Closing occurs, shall be prorated to the Closing Date, with Purchaser receiving the benefits and burdens of ownership as of the close of
business on the Closing Date. To the extent any such rents, real estate taxes, personal property taxes and other assessments with respect to the Property are unknown or otherwise not accounted for at Closing Seller’s obligation to pay its
prorata share of said amounts (as calculated in accordance with the previous sentence) to Purchaser shall survive Closing. Should any rollback or similar taxes be due and payable on or after Closing with respect to the transaction contemplated
hereby, such taxes shall be the sole responsibility of Seller, and Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless therefrom, which obligations of Seller expressly shall survive Closing. Utilities shall be canceled by Seller and
reestablished in Purchaser’s name on the Closing Date, if possible; otherwise utilities shall be prorated at Closing. Any amounts unpaid under the Contracts which Purchaser elects to assume at Closing shall be prorated between Seller and
Purchaser at Closing. 
 (a)    If the Closing shall occur before rents and all other amounts payable by the tenants
under the Leases and all other income from the Property have actually been paid for the month in which the Closing occurs, the apportionment of such rents and other amounts and other income at Closing shall be upon the basis of such rents, other
amounts and other income actually received by Seller as of Closing, with Purchaser receiving the portion of all such rentals and other amounts attributable to the period from and after Closing, with the parties agreeing to true-up such proration, to the extent necessary to cause an accurate proration of such income, within ten (10) business days following Closing. For a period of thirty (30) days following Closing, if any
rents which are delinquent as of Closing are actually received by Purchaser, in good funds, all such amounts shall first be applied to post-closing rents and other amounts due to Purchaser for the period from
and after Closing, and the balance shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller within thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof, to the extent, and only to the extent of any rental delinquencies owed by any such tenant to Seller for
the period prior to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3(a), all rentals that are received by Purchaser more than thirty (30) days following Closing shall be retained by Purchaser, and
Seller shall have no rights with respect thereto. If, subsequent to the Closing, any rents or other income are actually received by Seller, Seller shall immediately remit the same, or Purchaser’s prorata share thereof calculated as aforesaid,
to Purchaser. Seller agrees that, after the Closing, it shall not file any eviction action in an effort to collect any outstanding rents that remain owing to Seller after the Closing. 

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

incorrect, the parties agree to promptly correct such error. 
 The terms and provisions of this Section 6.3 shall
expressly survive Closing.

months following the month in which Closing occurs. Additionally, on the Closing Date, Seller shall leave petty cash in the amount of Three Hundred and no/100 Dollars ($300.00) on site at the Property, which amount shall be reimbursed by Purchaser
to Seller at Closing as a credit in favor of Seller on the closing statement.

Purchaser (collectively referred to herein as “Cancellation Notices”), signed by Seller, and, if applicable, such third party, notifying such tenants that their Seller Policy has been cancelled. Alternatively, Purchaser may,
at its option, deliver such Cancellation Notices on behalf of Seller, or such third party, to each tenant of the Property who purchased a Seller Policy, and Seller does hereby authorize Purchaser to do so. Seller agrees to cooperate with, and
otherwise assist, Purchaser in implementing Purchaser’s tenant protection plan, including providing information reasonably necessary or advisable for Purchaser to implement same. This Section 6.5(l) shall survive Closing.

(i) provide such other proof of payment of all sales and use taxes from all activity undertaken for or on behalf of Seller on the Property, and (ii) escrow such funds at Closing as Purchaser determines are reasonably required to cover the
amount of any unpaid taxes, pursuant to an escrow agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, which escrowed funds shall be released to Seller upon delivery of a statement from the Florida Department of Revenue that all sales
and use taxes due with respect to the Property are current. 
 6.6    Purchaser’s Obligations at the
Closing. At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent the following:

 7. 

RISK OF LOSS 

7.1    Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, action is initiated to take all or any portion of the Property, by
eminent domain proceedings or by deed in lieu thereof, Purchaser may either at or prior to Closing (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser, without the consent or joinder of Seller being
required and notwithstanding any contrary instructions which might be provided by Seller, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than the Surviving Obligations, or (b) consummate the Closing, in which
latter event all of Seller’s assignable right, title and interest in and to the award of the condemning authority shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price. 

7.2    Casualty. Seller assumes all risks and liability for damage to or injury occurring to the Property by fire,
storm, accident, or any other casualty or cause until the Closing has been consummated. If the Property suffers any damage equal to or in excess of Seventy Five Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($75,000.00) prior to the Closing from fire or other
casualty, Purchaser may either at or prior to Closing (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser, without the consent or joinder of Seller being required and notwithstanding any contrary
instructions which might be provided by Seller, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, other than the Surviving Obligations, or (b) consummate the Closing, in which latter event all of Seller’s right,
title and interest in and to the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage, and including any and all rent loss insurance proceeds relating to the period from and after the Closing Date, shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing and
Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in an amount equal to the sum of (i) Seller’s deductible under its insurance policy, and (ii) the amount of any uninsured or underinsured loss. If the Property
suffers any damage less than Seventy Five Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($75,000.00) prior to the Closing, Purchaser will consummate the Closing and accept the assignment of the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage, including any and all
rent loss insurance proceeds relating to the period from and after the Closing Date, plus receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the sum of (i) Seller’s deductible under its insurance policy, , and (ii) the
amount of any uninsured or underinsured loss, and there shall be no other reduction in the Purchase Price. 
 8. 

DEFAULT 

8.1    Breach by Seller. Subject to Section 8.3 below, in the event that Seller breaches any of its covenants,
representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, including failure by Seller to consummate this Agreement for any reason, except Purchaser’s default or a termination of this Agreement by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to a right to do
so under the provisions hereof, Purchaser shall be entitled to either (i) pursue the remedy of specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event specific performance for any reason is
not available, then Purchaser shall be entitled to recover damages from Seller as described in Section 8.1(ii) below, or (ii) terminate this Agreement, receive a refund of the Earnest Money, and pursue an action against Seller to recover
any and all actual third party costs or expenses incurred directly or indirectly by Purchaser and/or any affiliate of Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00. 

8.2    Breach by Purchaser. Subject to Section 8.3 below, in the event that Purchaser breaches any of its
covenants, representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, including failure by Purchaser to consummate this Agreement for any reason, except Seller’s default or a termination of this Agreement by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to a
right to do so under the provisions hereof, Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may terminate this Agreement and thereupon shall be entitled to receive the Earnest 

 
Money as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty). Seller and Purchaser have made this provision for liquidated damages because it would be difficult to calculate, on the date hereof, the amount
of actual damages for such breach, and Seller and Purchaser agree that the Earnest Money represents a reasonable forecast of such damages. 

8.3    Notice and Cure. In the event Seller or Purchaser fails to perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement, the non-defaulting party shall provide the defaulting party with notice and ten (10) days to cure such default, prior to pursuing any remedies available with respect to such default; provided,
however, that (i) no such notice and cure shall be provided with respect to a party’s default in failing to timely close, or with respect to any party’s anticipatory breach of this Agreement, and (ii) in no event shall any such
notice and cure period result in an extension of the Closing Date. 
 9.

9.1    Notices. All notices, demands and requests which may be given or which are required to be given by either

 9.2    Real Estate Commissions. Pursuant to a separate written agreement, Seller
has agreed to pay Marcus & Millichap (“Broker”) a real estate commission upon consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Except for Seller’s agreement with Broker, neither Seller nor Purchaser has
authorized any broker or finder to act on any party’s behalf in connection with the sale and purchase hereunder and neither Seller nor Purchaser has dealt with any broker or finder purporting to act on behalf of any other party. Purchaser
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses of any kind or character arising out of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to have been
made by Purchaser or on Purchaser’s behalf with any broker or finder in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby. Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all claims,
losses, damages, costs or expenses of any kind or character arising out of or resulting from any agreement, 

 
arrangement or understanding alleged to have been made by Seller or on Seller’s behalf with any broker or finder in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby,
including Broker. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 9.2 shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement. 

9.3    Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties relative to the subject
matter hereof, and there are no oral or written agreements between the parties, nor any representations made by either party relative to the subject matter hereof, which are not expressly set forth herein. 

9.4    Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed by the party or parties to be
bound thereby. 
 9.5    Headings. The captions and headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and
do not in any way limit, amplify, or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement. 
 9.6    Time of
Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement; however, if the final date of any period which is set out in any provision of this Agreement falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the United States or the State of
Florida, then, in such event, the final date of such period shall be extended to the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. 

9.7    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida and the laws of the
United States pertaining to transactions in such State. 
 9.8    Successors and Assigns; Assignment. This
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal and legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement
to the contrary, Purchaser shall be entitled to assign this Agreement, without Seller’s consent but with written notice to Seller, one or more times, to (i) an affiliate of Purchaser, (ii) an entity in which SmartStop OP, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership, SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, SS Growth Operating Partnership II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Strategic Storage Growth Trust II, Inc., a Maryland corporation, Strategic Storage

affiliate of Purchaser is the external advisor, (iv) a Delaware statutory trust of which Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser is the signatory trustee, or (v) a partnership or joint venture in which the Purchaser, or any entity described
in paragraphs (i) through (iv) above, has an interest; provided, however, that, until the consummation of the Closing, no such assignment shall release or relieve Purchaser of any liability hereunder. Additionally, Seller shall be prohibited
from assigning all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including its rights in and to all or any portion of the Earnest Money. 

9.9    Invalid Provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under
present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement; and, the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. 

9.10    Attorneys’ Fees. In the event it becomes necessary for either party hereto to file suit to enforce

Electronic Transactions Act, and the parties hereby waive any objection to the contrary.

obligations or expend any sums of money in connection with a proposed tax-free exchange for the benefit of the other party. 

9.15    Confidentiality. Seller and Purchaser hereby covenant and agree that, at all times after the Effective Date
and continuing after the Closing, unless consented to in writing by the other party (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the party whose consent is being requested), no press release or other public disclosure
concerning this transaction shall be made by or on behalf of Seller or Purchaser which discloses the Purchase Price or any other economic terms of this transaction, and each party agrees to use best efforts to prevent disclosure of any such
restricted information by any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each party shall be entitled to make disclosures concerning this Agreement and materials provided hereunder to its lenders, attorneys, accountants, employees, agents
and other service professionals as may be reasonably necessary in furtherance of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) Purchaser shall be entitled to make disclosures concerning this transaction and materials provided hereunder to its
potential debt and equity sources, and (iii) each party shall be entitled to make such disclosures concerning this Agreement and materials provided hereunder as may be necessary to comply with (a) any court order, (b) the directive of
any applicable governmental authority, or (c) any applicable securities law, rule and/or regulation. The provisions of this Section 9.15 shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement. 

9.16    Independent Consideration. Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller
the sum of One Hundred and no/100 Dollars ($100.00), representing independent consideration for the Approval Period and Purchaser’s right to terminate this Contract during the Approval Period. 

9.17    As-Is. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, but subject to Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and in the documents to be executed by Seller at Closing, Purchaser shall acquire the Property from Seller at Closing in its then “as-is, where is” condition, without any other representations or warranties from Seller, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, habitability or fitness for a particular purpose.

 9.18    Non-Competition. Seller shall deliver a non-compete agreement (the “Non-Compete Agreement”) to Purchaser at Closing in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “J” executed by
Seller and James W. O’Neill, Robert P. Ufer and Preka Ljuljdjuraj (collectively, the “Restricted Parties”). The Non-Compete Agreement shall provide that neither the Restricted
Parties nor any of their respective principals, partners, members, managers, directors, officers, shareholders and/or affiliates may directly or indirectly develop, own, lease, manage or operate a self storage facility for a period of three
(3) years subsequent to the Closing within a three (3) mile radius of the Property (excluding a facility for the storage of RV’s and boats on the North Side Tract (hereinafter defined)). 

9.19    Cooperation with Purchaser’s Auditors and SEC Filing Requirements. From and after the Closing, Seller
shall provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s expense, including reimbursement of Seller’s time providing such information at commercially reasonable rates) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser access

 
to, the books and records with respect to the ownership, management, maintenance and operation of the Property and shall furnish Purchaser with such additional information concerning the same as
Purchaser shall reasonably request and which is in the possession or control of Seller, or any of its affiliates, agents, or accountants, to enable Purchaser or its assignee, to file its or their Form
8-K, if, as and when such filing may be required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). At Purchaser’s sole cost and expense (including reimbursement of Seller’s time at
commercially reasonable rates), Seller shall allow Purchaser’s auditor (BDO USA, LLP or any successor auditor selected by Purchaser) to conduct an audit of the income statements of the Property for the calendar year prior to Closing (or to
the date of Closing) and the one (1) prior year, and shall cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Purchaser’s auditor in the conduct of such audit. In addition, Seller agrees to provide to Purchaser’s auditor a letter of representation
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “H” (the “Representation Letter”), and, if requested by such auditor, historical financial statements for the Property, including income and balance
sheet data for the Property, whether required before or after Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Purchaser or its auditor may audit Seller’s operating statements of the Property, at Purchaser’s expense, and Seller shall
provide such documentation as Purchaser or its auditor may reasonably request in order to complete such audit, (ii) Seller shall furnish to Purchaser such financial and other information as may be reasonably required by Purchaser to make any
required filings with the SEC or other governmental authority; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations of Seller shall be limited to providing such information or documentation as may be in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable by,
Seller, or its agents and accountants, at no cost to Seller, and in the format that Seller (or its affiliates, agents or accountants) have maintained such information, and (iii) Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the
Representation Letter is not intended to expand, extend, supplement or increase the representations and warranties made by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to expose Seller to any risk of liability to
third parties. 
 The provisions of this Section 9.19 shall survive Closing. 

9.20    Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be in default
under this Agreement and Seller shall not have a right to terminate this Agreement for delay in performing hereunder by Purchaser if such delay is caused by conditions beyond Purchaser’s control, including, but not limited to, acts of God,
government restriction, wars, insurrections and/or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Purchaser, and any period for Purchaser’s performance hereunder shall be extended by one day for each day of delay caused by events described
above in this Section 9.20. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser’s performance hereunder shall not be extended more than thirty (30) days. 

9.21    Environmental. In the event that Purchaser determines, prior to Closing, that, as a result of events
occurring following the Approval Period, (i) there are conditions on, at or relating to the Property which are in non-compliance with Environmental Requirements, or (ii) Hazardous Materials may exist
on or under the Property that will require remediation under any applicable federal or state laws, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement on or before the Closing Date upon written
notice to Seller, in which event, the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Purchaser, without the consent or joinder of Seller being required and notwithstanding any instructions to the contrary which might be provided by Seller, and
thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for the Surviving Obligations. 

9.22    Seller Holdback. At the Closing, Seller shall deposit the sum of $75,000.00 (the “Escrow
Proceeds”) into escrow with the Title Company, pursuant to an escrow agreement in form attached hereto as Exhibit “I” and incorporated herein, to provide a source of recovery for any post-closing claims that
Purchaser may have against Seller either under this Agreement or under the documents executed by Seller 

 
at Closing. To the extent a claim is made by Purchaser against Seller following Closing, Purchaser shall be entitled to a disbursement of a portion of the Escrow Proceeds equal to the amount of
such claim, without limitation of Purchaser’s right to recover the entire amount of any claim against Seller should the then balance of the Escrow Proceeds be insufficient. The Escrow Proceeds shall be held in escrow until the first anniversary
of the Closing Date, at which time any undisbursed Escrow Proceeds shall be released to Seller; provided, however, that in the event a claim is then pending against Seller by Purchaser, there shall be withheld from such disbursement an amount equal
to the amount of such claim; provided further, however, that in the event that such pending claim exceeds the then balance of the Escrow Proceeds then there shall be no disbursement to Seller at such time. 

9.23    Ingress/Egress Easement. As a condition to the sale by Seller, Purchaser at Closing will grant to Joyland
Development, LLC (“Joyland”), Seller’s affiliate that owns a tract of land contiguous to the northern boundary of the Property (herein referred to as the “North Side Tract”), a perpetual non-exclusive easement over and across a to be agreed upon portion of the Property for purposes of ingress and egress to and from the North Side Tract (the “Ingress/Egress Easement”),
provided that in exchange for the Ingress/Egress Easement, the North Side Tract shall be encumbered by a use restriction prohibiting self-storage that directly competes with operations on the Property, excluding the storage of RV’s and boats
(the “Use Restriction”), and Joyland shall secure and deliver at Closing a subordination of any existing liens on the North Side Tract to the Use Restriction. The Ingress/Egress Easement shall provide that Joyland will be
responsible to promptly repair any damage to the Property arising out of the use of the Ingress/Egress Easement by Joyland and/or its invitees. Seller and Purchaser agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the location of the
Ingress/Egress Easement during the Approval Period. The forms of the Ingress/Egress Easement and the Use Restriction are attached hereto as
Exhibit “K” and
Exhibit “L”, respectively. 

9.24    North Side Tract. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser is interested in purchasing the North Side Tract from
Joyland and Seller agrees to cause Joyland to enter into good faith negotiations with Seller as to the sale of the North Side Tract to Purchaser or its affiliate. Seller further agrees that commencing on the Effective Date through the earlier to
occur of (i) termination of this Agreement, or (ii) the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date, Seller will cause Joyland to not list, verbally or in writing, the North Side
Tract with any broker or otherwise solicit or make or accept any offers to sell the North Side Tract or enter into any contracts or agreements regarding any disposition of the North Side Tract, except with Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser.
