Any refund of taxes related to any period before Closing shall be Seller’s property. In the event that accurate prorations and other adjustments cannot be made at Closing because current bills and other material information are not obtainable, Seller and Buyer shall prorate on the best available information, subject to adjustment upon receipt of the final bills and/or material information.

(b) At Closing: (a) Buyer shall pay: (i) the premium and related charges for any owner’s or lender’s title insurance policy to be issued to Buyer or Buyer’s lender; (ii) the recording fees necessary to record the mortgage documents at the register of deeds office where the Property is located; and (iii) one half of any escrow fees charged by the Title Insurer in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transaction”); and (b) Seller shall pay: (i) the recording fees necessary to record the deed at the register of deeds office where the Property is located; (ii) the transfer, excise and/or documentary or recordation taxes in connection with the recording of the deed at the register of deeds office where the Property is located, (iii) the recording fees necessary to record the discharges of any liens of record or other instruments necessary to convey title to the Property to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement; and (iv) one half of any

If following Closing, Buyer shall receive a payment of rent from Tenant applicable to any period prior to Closing, Buyer shall promptly remit such payment to Seller in accordance with account instructions to be furnished by Seller.

Section 3. Sale of Property. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell the Property for the Purchase Price set forth above.

Section 6. Examination of Property. Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows:

(a)

Title Examination. Buyer shall order a title report and commitment (the “Title Report”) from the Title Insurer and an ALTA 2011 survey with regard to the Real Property (the “Survey”) within five (5) business days after the date hereof. Buyer shall furnish to Seller within five (5) business days after receipt of such Title Report and Survey (the “Title Review Period”) a copy of the same, together with a statement specifying any defects in title and/or the Survey (the “Objections”). Seller shall notify Buyer within five (5) days after receipt of the Objections whether Seller will cure one or more of the Objections on or prior to the Closing. If Seller does not respond within said

five (5) day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any of the Objections. If Seller does not agree (or is deemed to not agree) to cure any of the Objections, Buyer shall have the right, by notice given to Seller and Title Insurer within five (5) days after receipt of Seller’s notice (or within five (5) days after the expiration of Seller’s five (5) day response period, if Seller does not respond), either to (a) waive the Objections and close the Transaction without abatement or reduction of the Purchase Price, or (b) terminate this Agreement and obtain a refund of the Earnest Money. If Buyer fails to elect to terminate this Agreement by notice given to Seller within said five (5) day period, then Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have elected to waive the Objections and close the Transaction in accordance with this Agreement. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement by notice given to Seller within such five (5) day period, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, and upon such return all rights and obligations of the respective parties under this Agreement shall be null and void, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. If Buyer fails to deliver the Objections to Seller within the Title Review Period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to any defect set forth in the Title Report and Survey. All items shown on the Title Report and/or the Survey not objected to by Buyer by notice to Seller or deemed waived by Buyer shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be required to provide information and evidence to satisfy Title Company’s standard requirements as to Sellers’ authority and standard title affidavits and to cure on or before the Closing: (i) any monetary liens or monetary encumbrances created by Seller against the Property; and (ii) any encumbrances against title which are created by Seller after the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the title documents are re-issued or updated after the Buyer Objection deadline, Buyer shall have the right to object (each, a “New Buyer Objection”) to any additional matter disclosed or contained (each, a “New Title Document Matter”) in any such update of the title documents (notwithstanding the passage of the Examination Period). If Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any such New Title Document Matter to the sole satisfaction of Buyer (in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion) within the lesser of 5 days following receipt by Seller of a New Buyer Objection or the Closing, Buyer shall have the right either to (i) waive such New Title Document Matter and proceed to Closing without any adjustment in the Purchase Price, or (ii) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Earnest Money (in addition to any other remedies that Buyer may have under this Agreement if the New Title Document Matter

was caused by a breach of a covenant or representation of Seller under this Agreement).

(b)

Examination. Upon execution of this Agreement, Seller shall provide to Buyer: copies of the following documents and materials pertaining to the Property to the extent within Seller’s possession or readily obtainable by Seller without cost or expense: title commitment/policy, title exceptions, a copy of the ALTA survey, site plans and specifications, architectural plans, environmental/hazardous material reports, soils reports, governmental permits/approvals, zoning information, tax information and utility letters, a copy of the Lease and all amendments, copy of service contracts, any REA, certificate of occupancy, warranties and guaranties, commission agreements and copies of all correspondence related to the Lease and any other documents relating to the Property reasonably requested by Buyer. Additionally, during the term of this Agreement, Buyer, its agents and designees, shall have the right to enter the Property for the purposes of inspecting the Property, conducting soil tests, and making surveys, mechanical and structural engineering studies, inspecting construction, and conducting any other investigations and inspections as Buyer may reasonably require to assess the condition and suitability of the Property; provided, however, that such activities by or on behalf of Buyer on the Property shall not damage the Property nor interfere with construction on the Property or the conduct of business by Tenant. Any entry by Buyer shall be in compliance with the terms of the Lease. Buyer shall have the right to interview the Tenant before Closing upon first providing at least two (2) business days’ prior notice to Seller so that Seller shall have an opportunity to arrange such interview and to have a representative of Seller present at any such interview. Any Phase II environmental assessment or other testing that requires a physical or other intrusive invasion of the Property shall require Seller's consent, unless such Phase II is recommended by the Phase I obtained by Buyer (it being agreed that the standard testing and gathering of samples for a customary Phase I environmental study, and for any Phase II recommended by such Phase I, shall be permitted without Seller’s consent). Seller’s consent with respect to any Phase II proposed by Buyer which is not recommended by Buyer’s Phase I may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. Buyer agrees that it will not disclose to any third party not approved by Seller (except as legally required to report) the results of its inspections or tests. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller, its members, partners, principals, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all claims and liability arising due to any

activities of Buyer or its authorized representatives on the Property, and Buyer shall restore any portion of the Property disturbed by any such inspections, studies and tests to the condition existing immediately before inspection, study or test. The foregoing indemnification obligation of Buyer shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement. Buyer shall give Seller reasonable written notice (which in any event shall not be less than two (2) business days, or such other period of time as required under the Lease) before entering the Property, and Seller may have a representative present during any and all examinations, inspections and/or studies on the Property. Buyer shall have the unconditional right, for any reason or no reason, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to the expiration of the Examination Period, in which event: (a) Buyer shall receive a refund of the Earnest Money promptly after giving notice of termination; (b) this Agreement shall become null and void; and (c) all rights, liabilities and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall expire, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. If Buyer does not so terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Examination Period, Buyer conclusively shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6(b). Seller acknowledges that it shall have no right to challenge the release of the Earnest Money to Buyer in the event Buyer terminates this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Examination Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, amendments to this Agreement to extend the Examination Period may be agreed in writing or email by each party or each party’s respective attorney and notices to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Examination Period may be given, by Buyer as provided in this Agreement or by Buyer or Buyer’s attorney by fax or by email to Seller and/or Seller’s attorney.


(c)	Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnity, Buyer shall maintain or cause its contractors to maintain commercial general liability insurance in amounts not less than $2,000,000.00 per occurrence during all periods when Buyer is conducting inspections of the Property.

Section 7. Risk of Loss/Condemnation. Upon an occurrence of a casualty, condemnation or taking, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of same. Until Closing, the risk of loss or damage to the Property, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be borne by Seller; provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to repair such loss or damage. In the event all or any portion of the Property is damaged in any casualty or condemned or taken (or notice of any

condemnation or taking is issued), then, Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to Seller within five (5) business days after Buyer’s receipt of notice of such condemnation, taking or damage (and the Closing shall be extended until the two (2) business days after the expiration of such termination election period, if applicable), upon which termination the Earnest Money shall be returned to the Buyer and neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. With respect to any condemnation or taking (of any notice thereof), if Buyer does not elect to cancel this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing the rights of Seller to the awards, if any, for the condemnation or taking, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep all such awards. With respect to a casualty, if Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing the rights of Seller to the proceeds under Seller’s insurance policies covering such Property with respect to such damage or destruction (or pay to Buyer any such proceeds received prior to Closing) and pay to Buyer the amount of any deductible with respect thereto, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep any monies received from such insurance policies.

Section 8. Earnest Money Disbursement. The Earnest Money shall be held by the Title Insurer, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:


(a)	The Title Insurer shall invest the Earnest Money in an FDIC insured bank account reasonably satisfactory to both Buyer and Seller, shall not commingle the Earnest Money with any funds of the Title Insurer or others, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with confirmation of the investments made.

(b)

If the Closing occurs, the Title Insurer shall deliver the Earnest Money upon the instructions of Seller and Buyer on the Closing Date. If for any reason the Closing does not occur, the Title Insurer shall deliver the Earnest Money to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this clause (b). Subject to the last sentence of this clause (b), if for any reason the Closing has not occurred and either party makes a written demand (the “Demand”) upon the Title Insurer for payment of the Earnest Money, the Title Insurer shall give written notice to the other party of the Demand within two (2) business days after receipt of the Demand. If the Title Insurer does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice by Title Insurer, the Title Insurer is hereby authorized to make the payment set forth in the Demand. If the Title Insurer does receive such written objection within such period, the Title Insurer shall

continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator’s decision. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (b), if Buyer delivers a notice to Title Insurer on or prior to the expiration of the Examination Period that Buyer has terminated this Agreement, then Title Insurer shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Buyer without the necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from, Seller.

(c)

The parties acknowledge that the Title Insurer is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Title Insurer shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Title Insurer shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from the Title Insurer’s mistake of law respecting the Title Insurer scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Title Insurer harmless from and against all liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of the Title Insurer’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Title Insurer in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of the Title Insurer. The Title Insurer has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that the Title Insurer has received and shall hold the Earnest Money in escrow, and shall disburse the Earnest Money pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.


Section 9.	Default.

(a)

In the event that Seller is ready, willing and able to close in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and Buyer defaults in any of its obligations undertaken in this Agreement, as its sole and exclusive remedy, Seller shall be entitled to either: (i) if Buyer is willing to proceed to Closing, waive such default and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; or (ii) declare this Agreement to be terminated and, if Seller exercises its right to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, Seller shall be entitled to immediately receive all of the Earnest Money, as liquidated damages as and for Seller’s sole remedy.

(o)	To the best of Seller's knowledge, there are no capital replacements or improvements at the Property (as defined by generally accepted accounting principles) currently in process;

(p)

To the best of Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the environmental reports previously delivered by Seller to Buyer if provided, no hazardous substances have been generated, stored, released, or disposed of on or about the Property in violation of any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Property which regulates or controls matters relating to the environment or public health or safety (collectively, “Environmental Laws”). Seller has not received any written notice from (nor delivered any notice to) any federal, state, county, municipal or other governmental department, agency or authority concerning any petroleum product or other hazardous substance discharge or seepage. For purposes of this Section 11(p), “hazardous substances” shall mean any substance or material which is defined or deemed to be hazardous or toxic pursuant to any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Property which regulates or controls matters relating to the environment or public health or safety (collectively, “Environmental Laws”).

The representations and warranties of Seller shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year. Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust hereby unconditionally guarantees the obligations of Seller pursuant to this Section 11 which guaranty shall survive Closing and shall be reconfirmed at Closing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller's liability for breaches of the foregoing covenants, representations and warranties discovered by Buyer after Closing is subject to the following limitations: (i) any claim by Buyer against Seller for a breach of a covenant, representation or warranty must be brought within twelve (12) months following the Closing; (ii) if Buyer proceeds with Closing despite having the right to terminate this Agreement on account of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by Seller as to which Buyer has actual knowledge of before Closing, Buyer shall have no claim for any such breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, and, by proceeding with Closing as aforesaid, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all claims based on or resulting from the breach of any such representations, warranties or covenants; (iii) Buyer shall have no recourse against Seller until the aggregate claims for breach of any of Seller's covenants, representations or warranties under this Agreement exceed $17,500.00 (the “Threshold Amount”). Once the Threshold Amount has been reached as to any one or more matters in the aggregate, Buyer shall be entitled to recourse against the Seller for the dollar value of all aggregate claims in excess of the Threshold Amount, subject to the remainder of this paragraph; (iv) Seller's aggregate liability to Buyer under this Agreement after Closing shall in no event exceed $300,000.00 except as provided in Section 9(b) above; and (v) except as provided in Section 9(b) above, Seller shall never be liable to the Buyer under this Agreement for special, incidental or

consequential damages or for punitive or exemplary damages except where Seller’s acts or omissions constitute fraud or willful misconduct, provided that in no event shall Seller’s liability exceed the amount set forth in this paragraph.

(b)	No petition has been filed by or against Buyer under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar State or Federal Law.


(c)	Buyer is not prohibited from consummating the transactions contemplated in this Agreement by any law, regulation, agreement, instrument, restriction, order or judgment.

(f)	If applicable, Seller shall have delivered to Buyer a written waiver by Tenant of its right of first refusal under the Lease with respect to the acquisition of the Property by Buyer.

If any of the conditions set forth in this Section 13 are not met at the time of Closing (as the same may be extended in accordance with this Agreement), then Buyer shall have the option (to be exercised in its sole discretion, but not later than the time scheduled for Closing, as so extended) either to (i) waive the requirement for satisfaction of the unsatisfied conditions and proceed to Closing without adjustment of the Purchase Price, or (ii) declare this Agreement terminated in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, and thereafter neither party shall have any further liability hereunder, except for any obligations which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, or (iii) exercise its remedies under Section 9(b) above in the event the failure of the condition(s) precedent to be satisfied is due to Seller’s default of covenants or agreements required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by Seller prior to or at the Closing.
