BACKGROUND:

A.                                   STAG Industrial, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “REIT”), which is the sole member of STAG Industrial GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”), which in turn is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, and the Operating Partnership are engaging in various related transactions, including the initial public offering of the REIT’s common stock (the “IPO”), the net proceeds of which will be contributed to the Operating Partnership, and the Contribution Transaction (defined below), to consolidate the ownership of a portfolio of primarily single tenant real estate assets.

B.                                     On or about the date hereof, the Fund (i) created a new, wholly owned subsidiary, STAG III Properties, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Retained Holdings”), (ii) caused STAG Investments Holdings III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), to create a new, wholly-owned subsidiary, STAG III Mason 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Mason 2”), (iii) through Holdings, caused STAG III Mason, LLC to convey the property described on Exhibit C-1 to Mason 2, and (iv) caused Holdings to transfer 100% of the ownership interests in Mason 2 and each of the special purpose entities listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein (collectively, the “Property Entities” and each, a “Property Entity”) to Retained Holdings.

C.                                     Each Property Entity holds title to the real estate asset listed to the right of its name on Exhibit A (collectively, the “Real Estate Assets” and each, a “Real Estate Asset”), which Real Estate Assets (i) are located on the parcels of land described in Exhibits C-1 through C-3 (such tracts or parcels of land, together with the rights and appurtenances pertaining to each parcel or tract of land, including any right, title and interest in and to adjacent streets, alleys or rights-of-way, the “Land”), (ii) include the buildings, structures, fixtures and other improvements on the Land (the “Improvements”) and the tangible and intangible personal property owned by the Property Entities used or useful in connection with the businesses being carried out on the Land and in the Improvements (the “Personal Property”), and (iii) are affected by each lease and other occupancy agreement for any portion of the Land or the Improvements (the “Leases”), including all deposits and escrows held in connection therewith, and each other contract relating to the operation or use of the Land and Improvements [(other than any property management agreements)] (the “Other Contracts”).  The Land, Improvements, Personal Property, Leases and Other Contracts related to a given Real Estate Asset shall be referred to herein collectively as a “Property”.

D.                                    On or about the date hereof, the Fund will contribute 100% of the membership interests in Holdings to the Operating Partnership (the “Contribution Transaction”) in

exchange for common units of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) pursuant to that certain Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”), dated as of April 4, 2011, by and among the Fund, the Operating Partnership and the REIT.

E.                                      In connection with the transfer of the ownership interests in the Property Entities to Retained Holdings and the Contribution Transaction, Bank of America, N.A., for itself and certain other lenders (collectively, the “Lender”) has made a loan to Retained Holdings and the Property Entities in the principal amount of approximately $22,755,511 (the “Loan”), which is secured by first mortgages on the Properties.  The proceeds of the Loan were used to repay a portion of a loan made by Lender to Holdings, the Property Entities and others that was secured in part by the Properties and to obtain the release of the Properties from mortgages securing said loan.

F.                                      The Fund desires to grant the Operating Partnership (or its designee) an option to acquire 100% of the ownership interests in each of the Property Entities, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

3.                                       Method and Terms of Exercise.

(a)                                  Notice.

(i)                                     Within thirty (30) days of a Property achieving Stabilization, the Fund shall send written notice to the Operating Partnership of such Stabilization (the “Stabilization Notice”), which notice shall include the name of the Proposed Appraiser and a copy of the

4

Purchase and Sale Agreement.  Upon the Operating Partnership’s approval or deemed approval of the Proposed Appraiser, the Fund shall, at its sole cost and expense, engage the Approved Appraiser to prepare an Appraisal for said Property.  The Fund shall, within ten (10) days of receipt of the Appraisal, send a copy of the Appraisal to the Operating Partnership.

(ii)                                  Within ten (10) days of receipt of an Offer, the Fund shall provide written notice to the Operating Partnership of said Offer (the “User Sale Notice”), which notice shall include a copy of the Offer and a copy of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

(iii)                               If the Fund’s member(s) elect to terminate and dissolve the Fund while the Fund still owns any Property that is subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Fund shall provide written notice to the Operating Partnership of its decision to terminate and dissolve (the “Liquidation Notice”), which notice shall include evidence of the termination or liquidation election, a list of the Properties still subject to this Agreement, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for any Property that remains subject to this Agreement and a copy of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

(b)                                 Exercise of Option.  Upon receipt of an Option Notice, the Operating Partnership shall have ninety (90) days from receipt of a Stabilization Notice and thirty (30) days from receipt of a User Sale Notice or a Liquidation Notice to send written notice to the Fund of its intention to exercise the Option with respect to the ownership interests in any Property Entity owning a Property that is the subject to said notice (any such notice sent by the Operating Partnership to the Fund being referred to herein as a “Stabilization Option Exercise Notice”, a “User Sale Option Exercise Notice”, or a “Liquidation Option Exercise Notice”, as applicable and each, an “Option Exercise Notice”), a signed counterpart of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and a non-refundable earnest money deposit equal to five percent (5%) of the Option Price (the “Deposit’).  The Fund shall deliver a signed counterpart of the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Operating Partnership upon confirmation from the escrow agent identified in the Purchase and Sale Agreement that the Deposit has been received.  The parties agree that if the Option Price is not known at the time of delivery of a Liquidation Option Exercise Notice, the purchase price set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be the Operating Partnership’s reasonable estimate of the fair market value of the applicable Property and the Deposit shall be five percent (5%) of said estimated fair market value, provided that once the Appraisals for the applicable Properties are received, the parties shall promptly enter into an amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement that changes the purchase price to an amount equal to the fair market value of the Properties as set forth in the Appraisals.

(c)                                  No Exercise of Option.  If the Fund does not receive a Stabilization Option Exercise Notice or a User Sale Option Exercise Notice, as applicable, within the applicable election period, the Option with respect to the ownership interests in the Property Entity owning the Stabilized Property or the Offer Property, as applicable, shall automatically terminate.  If the Fund does not receive a Liquidation Option Exercise Notice within the thirty (30) day election period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate.  If the Fund receives a Liquidation Option Exercise Notice with respect to some but not all of the Properties that remain subject to this Agreement, the Option with respect to the ownership interests in the Property Entities that are

5

not indentified in the Liquidation Option Exercise Notice shall automatically terminate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Fund does not receive a User Sale Option Exercise Notice within the thirty (30) day election period, the Fund shall have the right, during the period commencing on the expiration of said thirty (30) day election period and ending on the later of: (i) sixty (60) days after the closing date set forth in the Offer or (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of said Offer (the “Offer Property Sale Period”), to sell the Offer Property to the User or any other person on terms that are no more favorable to the buyer than those set forth in the Offer, except the purchase price can be as low as ninety percent (90%) of the purchase price set forth in the Offer; provided that if the Fund is unable to sell the Offer Property during the Offer Property Sale Period on terms no more favorable to the buyer than those set forth in the Offer (other than purchase price), the Option with respect to the ownership interests in the Property Entity owning said Offer Property shall automatically revive and thereafter be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  If the sale of the Offer Property happens as set forth in the Offer, the Operating Partnership or its designee shall receive from the Fund, in cancellation of such Option, twenty-five percent (25%) of the portion of the sale price that exceeds the sum of the Fund’s undepreciated cost of the Property and the sale closing costs (e.g., attorneys’ fees, recording fees, escrow fees and other closing costs incurred by the Fund).

(d)                                 Inspection.  So long as the Operating Partnership has an Option with respect to a Property, the Fund shall permit the Operating Partnership and its agents, on at least forty-eight (48) hours advance notice, to enter upon said Property, subject to the rights of any tenants, during regular business hours, to make such surveys, inspections and tests as may reasonably be reasonably necessary in connection with its examination of the Property.  The Operating Partnership shall repair any damage it or its agents may cause to the Property as a result of any such inspections or tests or any other related damage caused by the Operating Partnership or its agents, and further shall indemnify, defend and hold the Fund, Retained Holdings and the applicable Property Entity and their respective owners, managers, directors, officers, employees, licensees and invitees harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, suffered by the Fund, Retained Holdings, the applicable Property Entity or their respective owners, managers, directors, officers, employees, licensees or invitees (collectively, the “Fund Indemnified Parties”) as a direct result of the entry by the Operating Partnership or its agents upon, or acts upon, any Property in connection with any such inspections or tests or any other related damage to the Property caused by the Operating Partnership or its agents; provided, however, in no event shall the Operating Partnership be liable for punitive damages resulting from its inspections, tests or entry or for any damages solely attributable to the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Fund Indemnified Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the effectiveness of a Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Operating Partnership’s (or its designee’s) right to inspect the applicable Property shall be governed by the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

(e)                                  Information.  So long as the Operating Partnership has an Option with respect to the ownership interests in a Property Entity, the Fund (i) shall permit (and shall cause Retained Holdings and the applicable Property Entity to permit) the Operating Partnership and its agents to review all books, records, leases, service contracts, environmental reports, soil reports,

6

engineering reports, surveys and other documentation with respect to said Property that are in the possession and control of the Fund, Retained Holdings or the applicable Property Entity and reasonably requested by the Operating Partnership, [and (ii) shall provide (or cause to be provided), upon written request from the Operating Partnership, a report regarding the status of said Property, on a quarterly basis, which report shall include unaudited financial statements and such other information and data as the Operating Partnership may reasonably request regarding said Property (to the extent such information and data is in the possession and control of the Fund, Retained Holdings or the applicable Property Entity).  The parties agree that to the extent the Operating Partnership or any of its Affiliates is providing administrative or management services to the Fund, Retained Holdings or a Property Entity with respect to any Property, the Fund shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation under this Section 3(e) to the extent that the information requested under this Section 3(e) is available to the Operating Partnership or its Affiliates in connection with the performance of such administrative or management services, and such information shall be deemed to have been delivered by the Fund to the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Section 3(e).]  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the effectiveness of a Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Operating Partnership’s (or its designee’s) rights to review books, records, leases, service contracts, environmental reports, soil reports, engineering reports, surveys and other documentation with respect to the applicable Property and to receive reports regarding the status of the applicable Property shall be governed by the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

(f)                                    [Revocation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the applicable Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Operating Partnership may decide at any time after delivery of an Option Exercise Notice, but before the Closing Date for the Option Property, not to proceed with the acquisition of said Option Property by delivering written notice to the Fund prior to the Closing Date.  If the Operating Partnership revokes its Option Exercise Notice in accordance with this Section 3(f), the Option with respect to the Option Property specified in such Option Exercise Notice shall terminate and the Fund shall be entitled to retain the Deposit.]

4.                                       Option Price; Payment of Option Price; Taxes; Closing Costs; Prorations.

(a)                                  Option Price.  The purchase price (the “Option Price”) for the Option Property shall be: (a) with respect to a Property being purchased under a Stabilization Option Exercise Notice, the fair market value set forth in the Appraisal for the applicable Property; (b) with respect to a Property being purchased under a User Sale Option Exercise Notice, the purchase price set forth in the Offer; and (c) with respect to a Property being purchased under a Liquidation Option Exercise Notice, the fair market value as set forth in the Appraisal for the applicable Property; provided, however, for purposes of this clause (c), if the Appraisal for said Property is more than six (6) months old as of the date the Fund receives the Liquidation Option Exercise Notice, then, within forty-five (45) days of receiving the Liquidation Option Exercise Notice, the Fund shall, at its sole cost and expense, have the fair market value of such Property determined by a Qualified Appraiser and deliver a copy of such Appraisal to the Operating Partnership promptly (but in no event later than three (3) business days) after receiving the same.

7

(b)                                 Payment of Option Price.  On the Closing Date, the Option Price shall be payable by the Operating Partnership (or its designee) in accordance with the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

(c)                                  Taxes.  If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, then the following regarding taxes shall apply:

(i)                                     If the Option Price consists all or in part of OP Units, the transfer, assignment and exchange contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a “Capital Contribution” to the Operating Partnership under the Operating Partnership Agreement and is intended to be governed by Section 721(a) of the Code to the extent the Option Price consists of OP Units, and the Fund and the Operating Partnership shall report this transaction consistent with such treatment.

(ii)                                  The Fund, on the one hand, and the Operating Partnership, on the other hand, shall provide each other with such cooperation and information relating to an Option Property as the parties reasonably may request in (A) filing any tax return, amended tax return or claim for tax refund, (B) determining any liability for taxes or a right to a tax refund, or (C) conducting or defending any proceeding in respect of taxes.  From the date hereof and subsequent to the Closing, the Fund agrees to provide the Operating Partnership with such tax information relating to the Properties and the Property Entities that is in the Fund’s possession or control and that is reasonably requested by the Operating Partnership and to cooperate with the Operating Partnership with respect to the filing of its tax returns, including, without limitation, the depreciation and amortization schedules for Properties, as kept for both book and tax purposes, showing original basis and accumulated depreciation or amortization as of the Closing Date and basis information as of the Closing Date (computed for both book and tax purposes, if different) for all non-depreciable, non amortizable assets held by any of the Property Entities.  The Fund further agrees to notify the Operating Partnership, in writing, of any audits that could affect the amounts shown on the returns of the Operating Partnership for any taxable period.  The provisions of this section shall survive the Closing.  Any time after the Closing Date, the Operating Partnership shall promptly notify the Fund in writing upon receipt by the Operating Partnership or any of its Affiliates of notice of (y) any pending or threatened tax audits or assessments with respect to an Option Property, and (z) any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign tax audits or assessments of the Operating Partnership or any of its Affiliates, in each case which may affect the liabilities for taxes of the Fund with respect to any tax period ending on or before the Closing Date.  The Fund shall promptly notify the Operating Partnership in writing upon receipt by the Fund of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign tax audits or assessments relating to the income, properties or operations of the Fund.  The Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Fund, on the other hand, may participate at its own expense in the prosecution of any claim or audit with respect to taxes attributable to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, provided, that the Fund shall have the right to control the conduct of any such audit or proceeding or portion thereof for which the Fund has acknowledged liability for the payment of additional tax liability, and the Operating Partnership shall have the right to control any other audits and proceedings.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, nor the Fund, on the other hand, may settle or

8

otherwise resolve any such claim, suit or proceeding which could have an adverse tax effect on the other party or its direct or indirect owners without the written consent of the other party, such written consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The Operating Partnership and the Fund shall retain all tax returns, schedules and work papers, and all material records and other documents relating thereto, until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by any party, any extensions thereof) of the taxable years to which such tax returns and other documents relate and until the final determination of any tax in respect of such years.

(iii)                               With respect to an Option Property that is, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly contributed to the Operating Partnership as provided in Section 4(c)(i), the Operating Partnership shall use the “traditional method”, as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b), to make allocations of taxable income and loss among the partners of the Operating Partnership.

(iv)                              The Operating Partnership shall pay the cost of all documentary transfer taxes or other transfer or recording taxes arising from the sale of an Option Property pursuant to the exercise by the Operating Partnership of the Option.

(e)                                  Prorations.  To the extent not paid directly by the tenants of the Properties, real property taxes and all other items customarily apportioned in connection with sales of similar properties similarly located shall be adjusted and apportioned at the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

5.                                     Representations and Warranties.  As a material inducement to the Operating Partnership entering into this Agreement, the Fund hereby makes for the benefit of the Operating Partnership each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5, which representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof, and hereby covenants as follows:

precedent in favor of Seller set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Seller’s obligations under this Agreement are expressly subject to the timely fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section 6.2 on or before the Closing Date, or such earlier date as is set forth below.  Each condition may be waived in whole or part only by written notice of such waiver from Seller to Purchaser.

(a)           Purchaser shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all of the terms of this Agreement to be performed and complied with by Purchaser prior to or at the Closing;

(b)           On the Closing Date, the representations of Purchaser set forth in Section 7.2 shall be true, accurate and complete;

(c)           No action or proceeding by or before any governmental authority (as they relate to the Property subject to the Closing) shall have been instituted that is reasonably expected to restrain, prohibit or invalidate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than an action or proceeding instituted by Purchaser; provided, that the foregoing condition shall be deemed to have been satisfied if Purchaser shall have agreed to fully indemnify Seller from any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arising out of Seller’s proceeding to close under this Agreement in the face of any such action or proceeding; and

Section 6.3.  Risk of Loss.  Unless and until the Closing is completed, the risk of loss to the Property from casualty or condemnation shall be borne by Seller.  If all or a portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing such that: (1) Purchaser’s reasonable estimate of the cost to repair the same exceeds $                   [insert 2% of the Purchase Price]; (2) the Tenant has the right to terminate the Lease or abate or offset rent under the Lease on account of such casualty; or (3) access to or egress from the Property is materially impaired (any such fire or other casualty, a “Material Casualty”), Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole option, elect to either:

(a)           terminate this Agreement and receive back the Deposit; or

(b)           purchase the Membership Interests subject to and in accordance with the terms of

7

this Agreement.

In the event of a fire or other casualty that is not a Material Casualty, and in connection with any Material Casualty as to which Purchaser elects to proceed pursuant to Section 6.3(b), (i) Purchaser shall purchase the Membership Interests in accordance with the terms hereof without reduction in the Purchase Price (except for any applicable deductible that will reduce the insurance proceeds assigned to Purchaser at Closing) and (ii) Seller shall assign or cause the Company to assign to Purchaser at Closing all insurance proceeds paid or payable to the Company on account of such damage, including any rental or business interruption insurance (and the amount of any deductible shall be credited against the Purchase Price).  Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement under Section 6.3(a) unless, within fifteen (15) Business Days from reasonably detailed written notice to Purchaser of such casualty, Purchaser provides Seller with written notice that Purchaser elects to proceed pursuant to Section 6.3(b).  If the Closing Date would otherwise occur sooner, it shall automatically be extended to the date that is twenty (20) Business Days after written notice to Purchaser of the casualty.  If any insurance proceeds paid or payable on account of a fire or other casualty are to be assigned to Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Seller shall cooperate as reasonably requested by Purchaser to effectuate such assignment (including, if necessary, prosecuting claims in Purchaser’s names or for Purchaser’s benefit), and Seller’s obligation to so cooperate shall survive the Closing.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.3, if the Company fails to maintain full replacement cost insurance or rental interruption insurance as required herein, and if there is a fire or other casualty that is not a Material Casualty, or if there is a Material Casualty as to which Purchaser elects to proceed under Section 6.3(b), Purchaser shall have the right, in lieu of an assignment of insurance proceeds, to receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the cost to repair the damage caused by such fire or other casualty as estimated by a third party consultant selected by Purchaser and the amount of any lost rents that would have been covered by insurance if the Company had maintained the rental insurance required above.

Section 6.4.  Condemnation.              If, at any time before completion of the Closing, a taking or condemnation (or proceeding in lieu thereof) is commenced or threatened in writing: (i) of all or substantially all of the Property; or (ii) of less than all or substantially all of the Property that: (1) results in the Tenant having the right to terminate its Lease or abate or offset rent under the Lease; (2) causes the Property to fail to comply with Legal Requirements; (3) materially impairs access to or egress from the Property; (4) causes the loss of any parking that benefits the Property; or (5) otherwise, in Purchaser’s reasonable business judgment, results in a loss of value in excess of $                     [insert 2% of the Purchase Price] (any of the foregoing, a “Material Taking”), Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole option, elect either to:

(a)           terminate this Agreement and receive back the Deposit; or

(b)           purchase the Membership Interests subject to and in accordance with this Agreement.

In the event of condemnation or taking that does not constitute a Material Taking, or if there is a Material Taking but Purchaser elects to proceed under Section 6.4(b), (1) Purchaser shall purchase the Membership Interests in accordance with the terms hereof (without reduction

8

in the Purchase Price), (2) Seller shall assign or cause the Company to assign to Purchaser at Closing all condemnation proceeds and rental interruption insurance paid or payable to the Company as a result of such condemnation, (3) Purchaser shall have the right to be present with Seller at any hearings or negotiations with respect thereto, and (4) Seller shall not settle or compromise any such matter without Purchaser’s prior written consent.  Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement under Section 6.4(a) unless, within fifteen (15) Business Days from written notice to Purchaser of the condemnation, Purchaser provides Seller with written notice that Purchaser elects to proceed pursuant to Section 6.4(b).  If the Closing Date would otherwise occur sooner, it shall automatically be extended to the date that is twenty (20) Business Days after written notice to Purchaser of the Material Taking.

Section 6.5.  Leasing and Other Activities Prior to Closing.

(a)           During the term of this Agreement, Seller shall not permit the Company to enter into any Lease Transaction without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent may be given or withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion.

(b)           During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not permit the Company to enter into any new Contracts or material modifications, renewals or terminations of any existing Contracts that would impose any obligations on Purchaser or on the Property after Closing, without the written consent of Purchaser, which consent may be granted or denied in Purchaser’s sole discretion.  In its request for Purchaser’s approval under this Section 6.5(b), Seller shall include the following notice: “NOTE: FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.5(b) WILL RESULT IN A DEEMED APPROVAL”.  If Seller so requests Purchaser’s approval and Purchaser does not notify Seller in writing of its consent or disapproval within ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof from Seller, Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to such requested action.  Without limiting the foregoing approval rights, Seller shall provide Purchaser with prompt notice of any new Contracts or material modifications, renewals or terminations of any such contracts, together with complete copies of the documents relating thereto.

(c)           During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not permit the Company, without Purchaser’s prior written approval, (i) to make any material alterations or additions to the Property, except as may be required by law or the Lease or as may reasonably be required for the prudent repair and maintenance of the Property, (ii) to change or attempt to change (or consent to any change in) the zoning or other Legal Requirements applicable to the Property, or (iii) to cancel, amend or modify in any material respect any Permit.

(d)           At all times prior to Closing, Seller shall, or shall cause the Company to, (i) maintain the Property in good condition and repair; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain its relations with the Tenant and otherwise conduct business with respect to the Property in a commercially reasonable manner; (iii) perform its obligations under the Lease, the Contracts and the Permitted Exceptions (and, as applicable, enforce the obligations of any other parties to such documents); (iv) insure the Improvements at 100% of replacement cost, maintain at least one year’s worth of rental interruption insurance, and maintain liability and other insurance in accordance with generally prevailing industry standards or as otherwise required by the Lease; (v) not sell or further encumber the Property or any direct or indirect interest therein

9

or sell, pledge or otherwise encumber the Membership Interests or enter into any agreement relating thereto, and (vi) promptly give Purchaser a reasonably detailed written notice of: (1) any fire, flood or other material adverse change with respect to the Property of which Seller or the Company obtains actual knowledge; (2) any actual or proposed condemnation (or proceeding in lieu thereof) of which Seller or the Company obtains actual knowledge; (3) any written notice received by Seller or the Company claiming that the Property or the use and operation thereof fails to comply with any Legal Requirements; (4) any written notice given or received by Seller or the Company claiming that the Company or the Tenant is in default under the Lease; and (5) any written notice received by Seller or the Company concerning any pending or threatened litigation or administrative proceeding affecting the Property.  If Seller becomes aware during the term of this Agreement of any matters that render any of its representations or warranties untrue, Seller shall promptly disclose such matters to Purchaser in writing.

ARTICLE 8

Closing

Section 8.1.  Closing Date.  The Closing shall take place at 1:00 p.m. on the Closing Date.  Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, the Closing shall be conducted at the principal office of the Seller at such time and, on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the documents listed in Section 8.2 and Purchaser shall deliver to Seller the documents and funds described in Section 8.3.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, on the Closing Date, Purchaser is unable to bind property and casualty insurance for the Real Property solely because of the existence of a named hurricane threatening the area in which the Real Property is located, Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller, adjourn the Closing until the date that is three (3) Business Days after the date that such condition no longer exists.

(a)           (i) An Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, (ii) the Representation Update Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, (iii) the Closing Statement, and (iv) a non-foreign person affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I, all duly executed (and, when required, acknowledged) by Seller;

(b)           Customary affidavits and certificates as to facts within the knowledge of Seller or the Company relevant to the determination by the Title Company as to the condition of

20

title (including, without limitation, a gap indemnity affidavit);

(c)           At least two original Tenant estoppel certificates;

(d)           At least two original SNDAs;

(e)           All instruments necessary to dissolve the                                  effective as of the Closing Date;

(f)            such other documents and certificates as the Purchaser may reasonably request to establish the authority of the parties executing any documents in connection with the Closing; and

(g)           Such other documents as are consistent with the terms of this Agreement and reasonably required to close the transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 8.3.  Purchaser’s Deliveries.  At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver the following items:

(a)           Immediately available federal funds sufficient to pay the Purchase Price (less the Deposit) and Purchaser’s share of all escrow costs and closing expenses;

(c)           Such evidence or documents as may reasonably be required by Seller or the Title Company evidencing the status and capacity of Purchaser and the authority of the Person or Persons who are executing the various documents on behalf of Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Membership Interests and ownership of the Property; and

(d)           Such other documents as are consistent with the terms of this Agreement and reasonably required to close the transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 8.4.  Costs and Prorations.

(a)           General.  To the extent not paid directly by Tenant in accordance with the terms of the Lease, real estate taxes and assessments allocable to the payment period that includes the Closing Date, personal property taxes, if any, rental income and all other items of income and expense with respect to the Property shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 8.4.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.4, income and expenses shall be prorated on the basis of a 30-day month and on the basis of the accrual method of accounting.  All such items attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be credited or charged to Seller, and all such items attributable to the period commencing on the Closing Date shall be credited to Purchaser.

(b)           Rents.  The fixed and minimum rents and all additional rents, escalation

21

charges, common area maintenance charges, imposition charges, heating and cooling charges, insurance charges, charges for utilities, percentage rent, and all other rents, charges and commissions (collectively, the “Rents”) payable by the Tenant, to the extent collected by Seller or the Company on or prior to the Closing Date and which represent payments of Rents applicable to a period of time on or subsequent to the Closing Date, shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser at Closing.  The Company shall retain at Closing (i) all security or other deposits paid by the Tenant with respect to the Property; (ii) rent prepaid beyond the Closing Date; and (iii) any interest on rental agreement or security deposits or prepaid rent held by or on behalf of the Company and refundable to the Tenant, all of which shall continue to be in the operating account of the Company and shall not be removed by Seller.

(c)           Arrears.  Any of the Rents which are due and payable by the Tenant with respect to the period prior to the Closing Date, but which have not been collected by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date, or payment of which has been deferred until after the Closing Date (the “Arrearage Rents”) shall not be prorated at Closing.  Any Arrearage Rents that are paid after the Closing Date shall, subject to the terms below, be paid to Seller, and if the Arrearage Rents are received by the Company or Purchaser, Purchaser shall pay or shall cause the Company to pay the Arrearage Rents to Seller promptly after collection by Purchaser or the Company, as applicable.  After Closing, neither Purchaser nor the Company shall have any obligation to collect any Arrearage Rents or to commence any action to enforce the obligation of Tenant to pay the Arrearage Rents.  In the event Purchaser elects to commence, or to cause the Company to commence any action or proceeding against Tenant and as a result thereof collects any Arrearage Rents which Purchaser is required to remit to Seller, Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and retain a portion of the amount collected which is equal to the Pro Rata Share (as hereinafter defined) of the reasonable, third party expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the collection of the Arrearage Rents.

(d)           Unknown Rents.  As used herein, the term “Unknown Rents” means any Rents that have accrued as of the Closing but are not due and payable on the Closing Date: (i) because the lease year or other fiscal period for which such Rents are to be computed has not yet expired (including, by way of example only, escalation charges and percentage rents), or (ii) because for any other reason the amount of such Rents cannot be calculated on the Closing Date.  Unknown Rents shall not be prorated at Closing but shall be apportioned promptly after expiration of the applicable lease year or other fiscal period and collection of the Unknown Rents.  Purchaser shall make reasonable efforts or shall cause the Company to make reasonable efforts to ascertain the amount of the Unknown Rents (but shall not be obligated to commence any action or proceeding to collect Unknown Rents), and when the amounts of the Unknown Rents are ascertained and collected by Purchaser or the Company, Purchaser shall promptly pay (or cause the Company to pay) to Seller a portion (the “Pro Rata Share”) of the Unknown Rents determined by multiplying the Unknown Rents collected by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the applicable lease year or other fiscal period up to but excluding the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the lease year or other fiscal period, less any monies Seller has previously received on account of the Unknown Rents and Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the third party expenses incurred by Purchaser in the collection of the Unknown Rents.  In the event it is determined after Closing that the amount of the Unknown Rents received by Seller exceeds the Seller’s Pro Rata Share, Seller shall promptly pay such excess to Purchaser upon demand.

22

(e)           Taxes.  To the extent not paid directly by Tenant in accordance with the terms of the Lease, all real estate taxes assessed against the Property shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser on an accrual basis based upon the actual current tax bill.  If the most recent tax bill received by the Company before the Closing Date is not the actual current tax bill, then Seller and Purchaser shall initially prorate the taxes at the Closing by applying 100% of the tax rate for the period covered by the most current available tax bill to the latest assessed valuation, and shall reprorate the taxes retroactively when the actual current tax bill is then available.  All real estate taxes accruing before the Closing Date shall be the obligation of Seller and all such taxes accruing on and after the Closing Date shall be the obligation of Purchaser.

(f)            Assessment Installments.  If as of the Closing Date the Property is encumbered or otherwise affected by any assessment (whether or not a lien) which is or may become payable in installments (which the Tenant is not required to pay under the provisions of the Lease), then for the purposes of this Agreement, all unpaid installments of such assessments shall be deemed to have become due and payable prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to all unpaid installments of such assessments, and in such event Purchaser shall take title to the Membership Interests (and indirectly, the Property) subject to the unpaid installments not yet due and payable.

(g)           Utilities.  To the extent not payable directly by the Tenant in accordance with the terms of the Lease, the actual or estimated charges for utilities accrued and payable by the Company shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser.  Deposits for utilities (the “Utility Deposits”), plus any interest on the Utility Deposits to which the Company has paid to the utility company, shall be credited to Seller for the full amount thereof at Closing.  With respect to water, sewer, electric and gas charges, to the extent not paid by the Tenant under the Lease, Seller shall cause the Company to make reasonable efforts to obtain a reading of the meter or other consumption measuring device as of the Closing Date.  If the Company is unable to obtain such a reading, Seller shall furnish a reading as of a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date and the unknown charges shall be apportioned on the basis of an estimate computed by utilizing such reading and the most recent bill from the utility provider.

(h)           Continuing Contracts.  Prepaid charges, payments and accrued charges under any Continuing Contracts shall be prorated at Closing in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser.

(i)            Closing Costs.  Purchaser and Seller shall each pay their own legal fees related to the preparation of this Agreement and all documents required to settle the transaction contemplated hereby.  Purchaser shall pay all costs associated with its due diligence, including, without limitation the cost of any surveys, zoning reports and title policies and all assumption costs, including legal fees, for or in connection with the assumption of any loan or any properties or costs arising out of the prepayment of any loan.  Any recording fees, escrow fees and other closing costs (except documentary transfer taxes or other transfer or recording taxes) shall be all allocated according to the custom and practice of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located.  To the extent any recording taxes, transfer taxes or documentary stamps are due or become due in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, such costs shall be paid by Purchaser.

23

(j)            Closing Statement.  Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate to produce prior to the Closing Date a schedule of prorations to be made as of the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Closing Statement”).  Any adjustments to estimated figures on the Closing Statement shall be made by the parties with due diligence and cooperation within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, or such later time as may be required to obtain necessary information for proration, by prompt cash payment to the party yielding a net credit from such prorations from the other party.

Section 8.5.  Possession.  Possession of the Property shall be retained by the Company at the Closing, subject only to the Lease, rights arising under any Contracts, and the Permitted Exceptions.

ARTICLE 9

Real Estate Commission

Section 9.1.  Commissions.

(a)           Seller represents, warrants and covenants to Purchaser that Seller has not dealt with any real estate agent or broker in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.  Seller shall indemnify Purchaser against all claims, costs and liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to any claims by any other broker or other Person claiming any commission or similar compensation by, through or under Seller.

Termination and Default

Section 10.1.  Termination without Default. If the sale of the Membership Interests is not consummated because of the failure of any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason except a default by Purchaser in its

24

obligation to purchase the Membership Interests in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (which shall be governed by Section 10.2) or any default by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement (which shall be governed by Section 10.3), the Deposit shall promptly be returned to Purchaser and neither Party shall have any further obligations hereunder.

Section 10.2.  Purchaser’s Default. If the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Purchaser in its obligation to purchase the Membership Interests in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and if such default is not cured within ten (10) days from written notice thereof from Seller to Purchaser, then: (a) this Agreement shall terminate; (b) the Deposit shall be paid to and retained by Seller as liquidated damages; and (c) Seller and Purchaser shall have no further obligations to each other. PURCHASER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DAMAGES TO SELLER IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PURCHASER WOULD BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS THE PARTIES’ BEST AND MOST ACCURATE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IF THE TRANSACTION SHOULD FAIL TO CLOSE AND THAT SUCH ESTIMATE IS REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SELLER AND PURCHASER REASONABLY ANTICIPATE WOULD EXIST AT THE TIME OF SUCH BREACH. PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE THAT SELLER’S RIGHT TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE REMEDY, AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, FOR PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO PURCHASE THE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 10.3.  Seller’s Default.  If Seller defaults in its obligation to sell the Membership Interests to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and if such default is not cured within ten (10) days from written notice thereof from Purchaser to Seller, then Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity: (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller, in which event the Deposit will promptly be returned to Purchaser, and the parties shall have no further obligation to each other; (b) waive such default and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or (c) specifically enforce this Agreement. Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any other right or remedy for such default.  If Purchaser brings an action for specific performance, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser pending the outcome of such action.

Section 10.4.  Breach of Representations. The representations and warranties of Seller and Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or in any document or certificate delivered by Seller or Purchaser in connection herewith shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Survival Period”), and no action or proceeding thereon shall be valid or enforceable, at law or in equity, unless within such time, written notice thereof is given to the other party; provided, however, that following the closing: (i) the total liability of Seller for all breaches shall not, in the aggregate, exceed [                ] [2% of the Purchase Price] (the “Claim Cap”); and (ii) the total liability of Purchaser for all such breaches shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the Claim Cap.  Purchaser further agrees that no claim may or shall be made for any alleged breach of any representations or warranties made by Seller under this Agreement and any document delivered in connection with this Agreement unless the amount of such claim or claims, individually or in

25

the aggregate, exceeds [                   ] (at which point, subject to the above provisions, Seller shall be responsible for all such damages caused thereby relating back to the first dollar of loss).

Section 10.5.  Mutual Indemnifications.

(a)           From and after the Closing until expiration of the Survival Period, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and defend and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, expenses, penalties, damages and losses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Seller in this Agreement or in any document, certificate, or exhibit given or delivered by Seller pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement; provided however, that Seller’s liability following the Closing for any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Seller in this Agreement or in any document, certificate, or exhibit given or delivered by Seller pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall not exceed the Claim Cap; provided, further, that in no event shall Seller have any liability for any such breach regarding which Purchaser had actual knowledge prior to the Closing).

(b)           From and after the Closing until expiration of the Survival Period, Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, expenses, penalties, damages and losses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any misrepresentation or breach of warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement or in any document, certificate, or exhibit given or delivered by Purchaser pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser’s liability following the Closing for any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Purchaser in this Agreement or in any document, certificate, or exhibit given or delivered by Purchaser pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall not exceed the Claim Cap.

(c)           Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and defend and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, expenses, penalties, damages and losses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, asserted against, incurred or suffered by Purchaser and related to its ownership of the Membership Interests (including, without limitation, those resulting from any personal injury or property damage occurring in, on or about the Property or relating thereto) and occurring during any period in which Seller or its affiliates owned the Company, from any cause whatsoever other than as a consequence of the acts or omissions of Purchaser, its agents, employees or contractors; provided, however, that any claim against Seller under this Section 10.5(c) must be made in writing before the end of the Survival Period.

26

(e)           In the event either party hereto receives notice of a claim or demand which results or may result in indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.5, such party shall promptly give notice thereof to the other party to this Agreement.  The party receiving such notice shall promptly take such measures as may be reasonably required to properly and effectively defend such claim, and may defend same with counsel of its own choosing.  In the event the party receiving such notice fails to properly and effectively defend such claim, and in the event such party is liable therefor, then the party so giving such notice may defend such claim at the expense of the party receiving such notice. The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive the Closing until the end of the Survival Period (and thereafter with respect to any written claims made before the end of the Survival Period).

(f)            In no event shall a party be liable to the other for consequential or punitive damages resulting from any breach of its representations or warranties and/or covenants contained in this Agreement or any agreement delivered in connection with this Agreement (unless such incidental, special or consequential (but not punitive) damages are incurred by as a result of a third party claim for losses).

Deposit Escrow Provisions

[Attached to and a Part of Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement]

(a)        Title Company shall hold the Deposit in separate, segregated, interest bearing account(s) approved by Purchaser and Seller.  If the Closing occurs, the Deposit shall be credited against the Purchase Price.  The Deposit shall be held and disbursed by Title Company in the following manner:

(i)            to Seller upon consummation of the Closing [or the exercise of Purchaser’s revocation right under Section 5.5]; or

(ii)           to Seller upon receipt of written demand therefor, stating that Purchaser has defaulted in the performance of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and the facts and circumstances underlying such default; provided, however, that Title Company shall not honor such demand until at least ten (10) Business Days after it has sent a copy of such demand to Purchaser, nor thereafter if Title Company shall have received written notice of objection from Purchaser in accordance with paragraph (b) below; or

(iii)          to Purchaser upon receipt of written demand therefor, stating that either (x) this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to a provision hereof [(other than Section 5.5)] and certifying the basis for such termination, or (y) Seller has defaulted in performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and the facts and circumstances underlying such default or that Purchaser is otherwise entitled to the Deposit under the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Title Company shall not honor such demand until at least ten (10) Business Days after it has sent a copy of such demand to Seller, nor thereafter if Title Company shall have received written notice of objection from Seller in accordance with paragraph (b) below.

(b)           Upon receipt of written demand for the Deposit by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to clause (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above, Title Company shall promptly send a copy thereof to the other party.  The other party shall have the right to object to the delivery of the Deposit by sending written notice of such objection to Title Company within ten (10) Business Days after Title Company sends a copy of the written demand to the objecting party.  Upon receipt of such notice, Title Company shall promptly send a copy thereof to the party who made the written demand.

(c)           In the event of any dispute between the parties, Title Company shall disregard all instructions received and may hold the Deposit until the dispute is mutually resolved and Title Company is advised of this fact in writing by both Seller and Purchaser, or Title Company is otherwise instructed by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d)           In the event Title Company shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive conflicting instructions, claims or demands from the parties hereto, or instructions which conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, Title Company shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action other than to keep safely the Deposit until Title Company shall be instructed otherwise in writing signed by both Seller and Purchaser, or by final judgment of

a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e)                                   Title Company may rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, provided that any modification of this Schedule 3.1 shall be signed by Title Company, Purchaser and Seller.

(f)                                     Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally hold Title Company harmless against any loss, damage, liability or expense incurred by Title Company not caused by its willful misconduct, gross negligence or breach of these escrow provisions, arising out of or in connection with its entering into this Agreement and the carrying out of its duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability or participating in any legal proceeding.

(g)                                       Title Company may receive certain benefits from the financial institution where the funds are deposited.  Based upon the deposit of escrow funds in demand deposit accounts and other relationships with the financial institution, Title Company is eligible to participate in a program whereby it may (i) receive favorable loan terms and earn income from the investment of loan proceeds and (ii) receive other benefits offered by the financial institution, but any such benefits derived by Title Company shall in no way limit the rights of Seller or Purchaser to the Deposit as set forth herein.

(h)                                             The Title Company may at its sole discretion resign from its duties as escrow agent by giving thirty (30) days written notice thereof to the parties hereto.  The parties shall furnish to the Title Company written instructions for the release of the Deposit and escrow documents.  If the Title Company shall not have received such written instructions within the thirty (30) days, the Title Company may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent and upon such appointment deliver the Deposit and escrow documents to such successor.  Costs and fees incurred by the Title Company may, at the option of the Title Company, be deducted from any funds held pursuant hereto.

Seller and Purchaser do hereby certify that they are aware that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverages apply only to a cumulative maximum amount of $100,000 for each individual deposit for all of the depositor’s accounts at the same or related institution.  The parties hereto further understand that certain banking instruments such as, but not limited to, repurchase agreements and letters of credit are not covered at all by FDIC insurance.

Further the parties hereto understand that Title Company assumes no responsibility for, nor will the parties hereto hold Title Company liable for, a loss occurring which arises from the fact that the amount of the above account may cause the aggregate amount of any individual depositor’s accounts to exceed $100,000 and that the excess amount is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or that FDIC insurance is not available on certain types of bank instruments.

JOINDER BY THE TITLE COMPANY

By its execution hereof, the Title Company hereby (i) covenants and agrees to hold the Deposit in accordance with the above provisions, and (ii) acknowledges receipt of a copy of the
