General

The historical occupancy rate (determined by the total rentable square fee actually occupied at the specified point in time indicated) for each of the Acquired Properties for the last five years is as follows:



	Barclay	Sweetgrass	Doral	Deltona	Parkway	Powder Springs	Kingwood
At December 31, 2013	100%	94.6%	100%	95.5%	95.1%	87.7%	88.1%
At December 31, 2012	100%	90.2%	100%	92.2%	92.5%	85.4%	90.4%

At December 31, 2009	95.6%	95.2%	97.5%	96.1%	92.8%	90.8%	91.9%

The average historical effective net annual rental rate per square foot (determined by taking total rent, including common area maintenance, taxes and insurance, divided by rentable square footage) at each of the Acquired Properties is as follows:



	Barclay	Sweetgrass	Doral	Deltona	Parkway	Powder Springs	Kingwood

We currently plan to make approximately $1.3 million in aggregate capital improvements to the Acquired Properties within the first two years of ownership and intend to put in place a more definitive plan for capital improvements closer to the closing date for the acquisitions. The Company currently anticipates there will be increases to the property taxes for 2014 and future years due to increased assessments that may occur in the future.

We expect that the initial basis in each of the Acquired Properties for federal income tax purposes will be equal to the purchase price allocated to each Acquired Property based on the third party appraisals to be performed prior to completing the acquisitions. We plan to depreciate each of the Acquired Properties for federal income tax purposes on a straight-line basis using an estimated useful life of 27.5 years. Upon our acquisition, we believe that each of the Acquired Properties will be adequately insured.

The material terms of the Purchase Agreements provide for: (i) an examination period that expired on August 1, 2014; (ii) an aggregate earnest money deposit of $1.75 million ($750,000 for the Fund VI Purchase Agreement and $1.0 million for the Fund VII Purchase Agreement) due within one business day of executing the Purchase Agreements (the "Initial Deposit"); (iii) an additional earnest money deposit of an aggregate of $1.75 million ($750,000 for the Fund VI Purchase Agreement and $1.0 million for the Fund VII Purchase Agreement) due within one business day of the expiration of the examination period; and (v) a closing date anticipated to occur on or before September 15, 2014, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions to closing by the parties, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. The Purchase Agreements also contain additional covenants, representations and warranties that are customary of real estate purchase and sale agreements. Although the Company believes these acquisitions are probable, there can be no assurance that the acquisitions will be consummated.

The Company expects to fund the acquisition of the Acquired Properties with planned debt financing for each Acquired Community and a combination of the following: (i) cash on hand; (ii) borrowings under the Company's senior secured credit facility with KeyBank National Association; (iii) bridge-debt financing; (iv) net proceeds from additional issuances of our securities; and (v) net proceeds from refinancing certain of our existing assets.

We currently are seeking quotes and applications from a variety of lenders to provide a non-recourse first mortgage loan on each of the Acquired Properties (the "New Loans") at approximately 65% of the purchase price, or approximately an aggregate of $65 million for all of the Acquired Properties. We expect each of the New Loans will be non-recourse to the borrower, will mature in five to seven years, and will bear interest at a fixed rate of approximately 1.7% over the interest rate on the 5 or 7-Year United States Treasury

security. We expect each of the New Loans will amortize over a 30-year term for the stated term of the New Loans. We expect each New Loan will only be secured by its respective Acquired Property and there will be no loan guaranties by the Company or PAC-OP.

After completing applications and upon our receipt of commitment letters for the New Loans, we will review the final terms and conditions of the New Loans to ensure they meet our needs. Assuming the New Loans meet our needs, we would then enter into rate lock agreements which will determine the final structure and cost of our financing. The terms and conditions we have described for the New Loans are based on the terms and conditions quoted by lenders we have approached and remain our good faith estimate of the expected material terms and conditions of the New Loans until we submit our applications and receive final commitment letters; however, the interest rate indexes contained in the quotes move daily and will impact the cost of our financing.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

9.1 For purposes of the special or limited warranty deeds and other documents to be delivered to Purchaser by Seller at Closing, the legal description of the Property shall be as set forth on Exhibit A. To the extent that a Survey creates a description other than as set forth on Exhibit A, the revised legal description will be conveyed by a quitclaim deed which is to be delivered at Closing with no adjustment to the Purchase Price.

10. CLOSING.

10.1 Closing Date. The closing of the sale and purchase of the Property (the “Closing”) shall take place on or before September 15, 2014 (such date, the “Closing Date”) through an escrow at the offices of the Escrow Agent, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by Seller and Purchaser.

10.3 On the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to or for the benefit of Purchaser the following:

10.3.1 Special or limited warranty deeds (collectively, the “Deed”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3.1(a) or Exhibit 10.3.1(b), as applicable to each Property, in proper form for recording and duly executed and acknowledged by Seller (and quitclaim deeds with legal descriptions of the Property based on the Survey, if requested by Purchaser);

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to make the books and records of the Property for all periods prior to the Closing Date (and if any tax appeal shall be prosecuted for any tax period covering both the period of Seller’s ownership and the period of Purchaser’s ownership, applicable tax appeal information) available to Seller for its tax purposes for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date. This Section 10.5 shall survive Closing and the delivery of the deeds of conveyance hereunder.

10.6 Possession. Seller agrees to give to Purchaser possession of the Property on the Closing Date, subject to the rights of tenants in possession under Tenant Leases in effect as of the Closing Date.

10.7 Risk of Loss. Except as provided in Section 12 hereof, the risk of loss shall be borne by Seller until the deeds of conveyance hereunder are delivered to Purchaser.

11. Apportionments and Adjustments; and Closing Costs.

11.1 Apportionments; In General. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 11, the following shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as of 11:59 p.m. on the day preceding the Closing Date, with Purchaser being deemed the owner of the Property on the Closing Date, and thereafter shall be paid or received, as the case may be, by Purchaser: (i) rents (“Rents”), reimbursement of real estate taxes and operating expenses, other tenant charges under Leases, and rent abatements and concessions under Leases (collectively, “CAM”), to the extent accrued and paid as of the Closing Date; (ii) real property taxes, including any special assessments and business improvement or special taxing area assessment, if any (collectively, “Taxes”), on the basis of the tax year in which Closing occurs; (iii) water charges and sewer rents and charges and other utility charges (collectively, “Utilities”) for the month or period in which Closing occurs; (iv) payments for the month in which Closing occurs under Service Contracts assigned to

Purchaser; and (v) all other items of expense and income in connection with the operation of the Property.

11.2 Rents. Purchaser will receive a credit at Closing for all Rents collected by Seller prior to the Closing Date and allocable to the period from and after the Closing based upon the actual number of days in the month. With respect to any unpaid or delinquent Rents existing as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall remit the same to Seller as, when and only to the extent received, on a tenant‑by‑tenant basis, monthly, no later than the last day of each calendar month, and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all such delinquent rents for the benefit of Seller, provided, that Purchaser shall not be obligated to terminate a Lease, declare a default under a Lease or bring suit against a tenant therefor, or incur any expense over and above its own regular collection expenses, and, provided, further, that Seller shall not be deemed to waive any right to bring suit against a tenant for any delinquent Rents, but Seller shall have no right to sue to evict any tenants or terminate any Leases. Any Rent received by Seller from and after the Closing Date for any period(s) after the Closing Date promptly shall be remitted to Purchaser. For purposes of this Agreement, Rents received by Purchaser or Seller after Closing shall be applied in the following order:

11.2.16 First, to Rents then due and payable to Purchaser for calendar months following the calendar month in which the Closing Date falls, but not, for the avoidance of doubt, to prepay any Rents not due and payable at the time such Rent is received;

11.2.17 Second, to Rents due but unpaid for the calendar month in which the Closing Date falls;

11.2.18 Third, to pay any Rents related to the period prior to the Closing Date which have not been previously paid; and

11.2.19 Fourth, as Purchaser may direct.

11.3 Taxes. If the Closing Date occurs before the tax assessment or rate for such tax year is fixed, an apportionment of Taxes shall be made on the Closing Date upon the basis of the tax assessment and rate for the preceding tax year and final adjustment shall be made within sixty (60) days of the issuance of a final tax bill for the tax year in which Closing occurs. If any proceeding for reduction of the assessed valuation of the Property has been or hereafter is filed for a tax period covering both the period of Seller’s ownership and the period of Purchaser’s ownership, the parties agree that Purchaser, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, will have the right to settle or discontinue any such proceeding. Any tax saving or refund for such period, after deduction for reasonable fees and expenses of third parties incurred in connection therewith, shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date. If, after the Closing Date, Purchaser receives any such tax savings as a credit against taxes payable in a subsequent tax period, rather than as a refund, Purchaser promptly shall pay to Seller its pro rata share of the tax saving. The cost of any such proceeding, including, without limitation,

any contingency or other professional fees, shall be borne in the ratio the parties are entitled to tax credits pursuant hereto.

11.4 Utilities. Excluding any utilities in the name of tenants, in order to prorate charges for water, gas, electricity and any other utility services, representatives of Seller and of Purchaser shall arrange with the appropriate utility companies and governmental agencies to render final bills based upon a reading as of the day before the Closing of the meters monitoring the servicing of the Property. Seller shall pay all charges for utilities accrued to the time of such readings and shall be responsible for the payment of such bills as and when rendered. If, however, final bills for the foregoing charges are not rendered as of the Closing Date or such readings are not possible as of the day before Closing, the proration for utilities will be done as of midnight the day before Closing and will be based on the most current and accurate billing information available. Should such proration be inaccurate by more than One Hundred Dollars ($100) upon receipt of the actual bills for the Property, Purchaser and Seller, promptly upon receipt by either of them of the utility bills, shall make the proper adjustment so that the proration will be accurate, based upon the actual amount of the utility bills, and payment shall be made promptly by Seller or Purchaser, whichever shall be required to make such payment, to the other party for the purpose of making such adjustment. Upon mutual agreement of Seller and Purchaser and with consent of the respective utility companies, utility deposits may be assigned to Purchaser. In such event, the amount of the assigned deposits will be paid by Purchaser to Seller at the Closing in addition to the Purchase Price.

11.5 Tenant Security Deposits. On the Closing Date, (i) the aggregate amount of all cash security deposits held by Seller under the Leases shall be credited against the Purchase Price therefor, and Purchaser shall assume the obligation for such security deposits pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption, and (ii) any non‑cash security deposits and letters of credit held by Seller under any Leases shall be transferred, set over and delivered to Purchaser. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser after Closing in the transfer and assignment of any letters of credit to the extent any such transfer and assignment is not completed at Closing.

11.6 Leasing Commissions. On the Closing Date, the aggregate amount of unpaid leasing commissions, if any, payable to leasing or other agents for the then remaining term of each Tenant Lease in effect as of the date hereof (not including any such commissions which may, in the future, be payable with respect to unexercised termination, expansion, renewal or extension options) shall be credited against the Purchase Price. On the Closing Date and pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption, Purchaser shall assume all leasing commissions due and payable to leasing or other agents with respect to (i) Tenant Leases entered into after the date hereof in accordance with the terms hereof and on those terms approved by Purchaser, and (ii) the exercise of any right of extension, renewal or expansion existing under the Tenant Leases in effect as of the date hereof or entered into after the date hereof in accordance with the terms hereof.

11.7 Tenant Improvements and Allowances. As used in this Agreement, the term “Tenant Costs” means all costs of all tenant construction obligations of the landlord under all Tenant Leases whether such obligations are structured as the obligation of the landlord to deliver improved space or to provide a tenant improvement allowance (excluding, however, any obligation by the landlord to repair, restore or otherwise improve any tenant space not part of initial tenant improvements).

11.7.1 With respect to Tenant Costs under Tenant Leases in effect as of the date hereof which are monetary obligations on the Closing Date, Seller shall assign to Purchaser and Purchaser shall assume the outstanding obligations of Seller with respect to all such monetary obligations due and payable after the Closing Date, and the aggregate unpaid amount thereof shall be credited against the Purchase Price, and Purchaser shall pay all such allowances from and after the Closing Date as and when the same shall become due and payable; and

11.7.2 With respect to Tenant Costs under Tenant Leases executed from and after the date hereof or expansions, renewals or extensions of existing Tenant Leases executed from and after the date hereof (which are, to the extent required, approved by Purchaser as set forth in Section 8.4 herein), on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for all such Tenant Costs paid by Seller (and any unpaid but earned construction management fees) as of or prior to the Closing Date, and the aggregate unpaid amount of all such Tenant Costs shall be paid by Purchaser from and after the Closing Date as and when the same shall become due and payable.

11.8 Tenant Free Rent. In connection with the Marco’s Pizza lease at Sweetgrass (the “Marco’s Lease”), at Closing Purchaser and Seller will escrow a portion of the Purchase Price equal to the amount of all Base Rent (as defined in the Marco’s Lease) that would have been payable (prorated per diem) if the Rent Commencement Date (as defined in the Lease) had occurred as of the Closing Date for the period from the Closing Date until October 13, 2014. On the last day of each calendar month following the Closing Date, an amount equal to the Marco’s Lease Base Rent for the preceding month shall be released to Purchaser, with the last disbursement occurring on October 13, 2014. In the event that the Rent Commencement Date occurs prior to October 13, 2014, Seller shall receive a distribution of escrowed funds equal to the amount of Base Rent (prorated per diem) payable pursuant to the Marco’s Lease between the actual Rent Commencement Date and October 13, 2014. Any amount not distributable to Seller as of the Rent Commencement Date shall be released to Purchaser.

In connection with the Cesar Perea Cleaners tenant at Doral, Seller and Purchaser will escrow a portion of the Purchase Price equal to $13,875 at Closing (the “Cleaners Escrow”). On the last day of each calendar month following the Closing Date, in the event that Cesar Perea Cleaners has not paid any portion of its rent for such month, Purchaser will receive a portion of the Cleaners Escrow equal to such deficiency. The

Cleaners Escrow will remain in place until the natural expiration of the Cesar Perea Tenant Lease, at which time the balance remaining, if any, shall be distributed to Seller.

11.9 Final Adjustment After Closing. Prior to Closing, Seller shall complete partial year reconciliation with respect to CAM, Taxes and Insurance charges for the year of Closing as of July 31, 2014 (the “Preliminary CAM Reconciliation”). Subject to the post closing “true up” provided for herein, CAM shall be prorated as of the date of Closing on a lease-by-lease basis with each party being entitled to receive a portion of the CAM payable under each Tenant Lease for the CAM Lease Year in which Closing occurs, which portion shall be equal to the actual CAM incurred during the party’s respective periods of ownership of the Property during the CAM Lease Year and shall be based upon the Preliminary CAM Reconciliation. Five (5) days prior to Closing Seller shall submit to Purchaser an itemization of its actual CAM operating expenses through such date and the amount of CAM received by Seller as of such date, together with an estimate of CAM to be incurred to, but not including, the Closing, all based upon the Preliminary CAM Reconciliation. In the event that Seller has received CAM payments in excess of its actual CAM operating expenses, Seller shall pay to Purchaser (or provide Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price) an amount equal to such excess. In the event that Seller has received CAM payments less than its actual CAM operating expenses, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such deficit following the final operating expense reconciliation for CAM completed by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Thereafter following Closing, Purchaser agrees to perform the final operating expense reconciliation adjustment for CAM for calendar year 2014 on or before March 31, 2015. Purchaser and Seller agree to make adjustments for any CAM after reconciliations have been completed with all tenants on or before June 30, 2015. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of written notice. As used herein, the term “CAM Lease Year” means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual CAM operating expenses are owed under each Tenant Lease. Upon receipt by either party of any CAM true up payment from a tenant, the party receiving the same shall provide to the other party its allocable share of the “true up” payment within five (5) days of the receipt thereof.

11.10 Closing Costs. Seller shall pay for the following: (i) the cost of any documentary stamps and/or transfer taxes associated with the Deed; (ii) the cost of recording any corrective title instruments;(iii) the costs of clearing any title matter Seller elects to cure; and (iv) one half of the charges of the Escrow Agent. Purchaser shall pay for the following: (i) the cost of issuing the Commitment and the owner’s policy of title insurance and any endorsements; (ii) one half of the charges of the Escrow Agent; (iii) any charges associated with Purchaser’s financing, including without limitation taxes on mortgages, deeds of trust or deeds to secure debt; (iv) the cost of the Surveys; and (v) all other costs and expenses of closing. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its respective legal counsel.

11.11 Survival. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive Closing and the delivery of the deeds of conveyance hereunder for one (1) year.

12. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.

12.1 Risk of Loss. Until the purchase of the Property has been consummated on the Closing Date, all risk of loss of, or damage to, or destruction of, the Property (whether by fire, flood, tornado or other casualty, or by the exercise of the power of condemnation or eminent domain, or otherwise) shall belong to and be borne by Seller. Further, in accordance with Section 8.2 hereof, Seller shall maintain in effect its insurance policies through and including the Closing Date.

12.2 Casualty or Condemnation. In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof which is reasonably estimated by Seller and Purchaser to cost Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or less per Property to replace or repair, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall nonetheless be obligated to consummate the purchase of the Property. In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Property or any portion thereof which is reasonably estimated by Seller and Purchaser to cost in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) per Property to replace or repair, or in the event of any taking or written threat of taking by eminent domain or condemnation (or any conveyance in lieu thereof) of the Property or any portion thereof by anyone having the power of eminent domain or condemnation where such taking involves a part of the vertical improvements located on the Property or a material portion of the parking located at the Property, or which permits an Anchor Tenant to exercise its right to terminate its lease, Purchaser shall, by notice to Seller provided within ten (10) business days of receiving notice from Seller of such event, elect to: (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money, together with all interest accrued thereon (less and except the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100) which shall be paid to Seller as consideration for entering into this Agreement), shall be returned to Purchaser, in which event neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein; or (ii) consummate the purchase of the Property with no reduction in Purchase Price, subject to the following provisions of this Section 12.2. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 12.2 (or if the cost to replace or repair the damage or destruction is estimated to be Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or less), then Seller shall on the Closing Date pay to Purchaser all insurance proceeds then received by Seller in connection with such casualty, together with any deductible amounts under Seller’s insurance policies (except for (i) Seller’s allocable share of business interruption or rental loss insurance proceeds, and (ii) such proceeds which have been paid by Seller to unaffiliated independent contractors for the repair or restoration of the Property occasioned by the damage or destruction; provided, however, Seller shall have no duty to undertake any such repair or restoration) and all condemnation awards and compensation then received by Seller which are not paid to tenants pursuant to the

Tenant Leases. In addition, Seller shall transfer and assign to Purchaser, in form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, all rights and claims of Seller and all unpaid insurance proceeds (and all rights and claims relating thereto) with respect to the damage or destruction (except for (i) Seller’s allocable share of business interruption or rental loss insurance proceeds, and (ii) sums which have been paid by Seller to unaffiliated independent contractors for the repair or restoration of the Property occasioned by the damage or destruction; provided, however, Seller shall have no duty to undertake any such repairs or restorations) and all compensation and awards on account of such taking. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall consult with Purchaser with respect to any eminent domain or condemnation proceedings affecting the Property or any portion thereof. From and after the Examination Date, Seller authorizes Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, to participate in such condemnation proceedings to further and protect Purchaser’s interest in said proceedings and to prosecute any appeal and contest any compensation and award that Purchaser reasonably determines does not constitute the fair market value of the Property or any portion thereof taken or threatened to be taken.

13. TAX-DEFERRED EXCHANGE

Purchaser or Seller may consummate the purchase or sale, as applicable, of the Property as part of a so called like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to §1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provided that: (1) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to either party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) Purchaser and/or Seller, as applicable, shall effect the Exchange through an assignment of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a qualified intermediary, but no such assignment shall release or relieve Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, of its obligations hereunder; (iii) no party hereto shall incur any costs or expenses in connection with the other party’s Exchange; (iv) no party hereto shall be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating such Exchange; and (v) performance by the qualified intermediary hereunder shall be deemed performance by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, hereunder. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall by this Article 13 or by its acquiescence to the Exchange (1) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (2) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the other party hereto that the Exchange in fact complies with §1031 of the Code. Purchaser and Seller each shall indemnify the other party hereto against any additional liabilities and costs and fees incurred solely as a result of such party’s participation in the Exchange. The indemnities in this Article 13 shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, as applicable.

14. DEFAULT.

14.1 Seller’s Default. If the sale and purchase of the Property contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated on account of Seller’s breach or default hereunder,

notwithstanding the satisfaction of all Purchaser’s Conditions set forth in Section 15.1 herein, Purchaser shall elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money, together with all interest earned thereon (less and except the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100) which shall be paid to Seller as consideration for entering into this Agreement), shall be refunded to Purchaser on demand in accordance with the provisions hereof and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for its actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction described in this Agreement, including, without limitation, expenses paid (A) to Purchaser’s attorneys in connection with negotiation of this Agreement and matters related thereto, (B) to any prospective lender as an application or commitment fee, rate lock or other non-refundable fee, and (C) to unrelated and unaffiliated third party consultants in connection with the performance of examinations, inspections and/or investigations pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) bring a suit for specific performance.

14.2 Purchaser’s Default. If the sale and purchase of the Property contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated because of Purchaser’s default, failure or refusal to perform hereunder, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder or otherwise, to payment of the Earnest Money, with interest thereon, as full and complete liquidated damages for such default of Purchaser, the parties hereto acknowledging that it is difficult or impossible to estimate more precisely or accurately the damages which might be suffered by Seller upon Purchaser’s default. Seller’s receipt of the Earnest Money, with interest thereon, is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages. The right to retain such sums as full liquidated damages is Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of default hereunder by Purchaser, and Seller hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) sue Purchaser: (i) for specific performance of this Agreement, or (ii) to recover actual damages in excess of such sums. Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenants that it shall not) sue Seller to seek or claim a refund of such sums (or any part thereof) on the grounds that such amount is unreasonable in amount and exceeds Seller’s actual damages or that the retention of such sums by Seller constitutes a penalty and not agreed upon and reasonable liquidated damages. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provided herein is a reasonable pre-estimate of Seller’s probable loss resulting from Purchaser’s default. The foregoing provisions shall not limit, modify, impair, diminish or abrogate the obligations and indemnities of Purchaser under Sections 8.1 and 17.2 hereof in the event of the Closing.

15. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

15.1 Purchaser’s Conditions. Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the purchase of the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is subject to and conditioned upon the satisfaction (or waiver in writing by Purchaser) of the following conditions precedent:

15.1.2 Purchaser’s determination on or before 6:00 p.m., Atlanta, Georgia time, on the Examination Date, that the condition of the Property is satisfactory.

15.1.3 Seller shall have performed and complied with in all material respects the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement required to be performed and complied with by it on or prior to the Closing Date.

15.1.4 Each of the representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement shall be accurate, true and correct in all material respects on and as of the applicable Closing Date, except those made as of a specified date, in which case such representations and warranties of Seller shall have been accurate, true and correct in all material respects as of such date, subject to Section 8.11.

15.1.5 There shall not be in effect any statute, regulation, order, decree, judgment or injunction (whether temporary, permanent or preliminary) of any governmental authority that challenges, prohibits, makes illegal, enjoins or prevents the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

15.1.6 There shall not be any action taken by any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority that makes it illegal or enjoins, restrains or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. There shall not be instituted any action or proceeding by any governmental authority that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the consequences referred to in the previous sentence.

15.1.7 Seller shall have made all deliveries required to be made at or prior to the applicable Closing pursuant to this Agreement, including those set forth in Section 10.3 herein.

15.1.8 Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Purchaser a duly executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate (as hereinafter defined) from the Anchor Tenants, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the balance of tenants at each Property (such tenants being herein referred to as individually as the “Other Tenant” and collectively as the “Other Tenants”, and such certificates being the “Tenant Estoppel Certificates” and each a “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”), and guarantor estoppel certificates (the “Guarantor Estoppel Certificates”) from the guarantors of the Leases, if any, in substantially the form attached hereto and made a part hereof as Schedule 5.1.8 or otherwise in a form sufficient for the applicable tenant to fulfill its obligation to deliver a Tenant Estoppel Certificate under its lease, and dated not more than forty five (45) days prior to the Closing Date. Receipt of Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the Anchors and seventy-five percent (75%) (the “Required Percentage”) of the Other Tenants (excluding the Anchor Tenants) at each Property shall be a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close the transactions contemplated hereby. With respect to Tenant Estoppel Certificates from up to fifty percent (50%) of the Required Percentage of the Other Tenants, but not for any Anchor Tenant, in lieu of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate, Seller may deliver a Seller estoppel certificate (the "Seller Estoppel") certifying all of the information in the Tenant Estoppel Certificate form to its knowledge in lieu of a

Tenant Estoppel Certificate from up to fifty percent (50%) of the Required Percentage of any such Other Tenants; and provided further, that upon receipt by Purchaser of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate in the form required hereunder which does not disclose any material adverse matters, or is otherwise acceptable to Purchaser and for which Seller previously delivered a Seller Estoppel, such estoppel shall immediately replace the Seller Estoppel as to such Other Tenants, the Seller Estoppel shall immediately become void and Seller shall have no liability in connection therewith. In the event that Purchaser’s lender, if any, requires subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements (“SNDAs”) from any tenants at the Property, Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in requesting SNDAs from any such tenants in substantially the form attached hereto and made a part hereof as Schedule 5.1.8, provided that receipt of SNDA’s or Guarantor Estoppel Certificates shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close under this Agreement. If Seller is unsuccessful in obtaining Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the Anchor Tenants and the Required Percentage of the Other Tenants (excluding the Anchor Tenants) as set forth above, or if the Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the Anchor Tenants or the Other Tenants comprising the Required Percentage contains or discloses information which is materially different (and less favorable to the landlord) as to the status or terms of the Anchor Tenant leases or the leases of the Other Tenants comprising the Required Percentage from the applicable information set forth in the Rent Roll, then, in either such event, Purchaser’s sole option shall be to either (a) waive the delivery of the Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the Anchor Tenants and the Required Percentage of the Other Tenants (excluding the Anchor Tenants) and proceed with the Closing, without any abatement or other adjustment in the Purchase Price, or (b) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded by Escrow Agent to Purchaser without any further consent required from Seller and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except for those provisions that survive the termination of this Agreement. Such election shall be made on or before the Closing Date, and if Purchaser fails to make such an election by such time, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 15.1.7. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s inability to obtain any of the certificates described herein shall not constitute a Seller default hereunder.

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), made this ______ day of _______________, ______, between _____________________________, (hereinafter called "Mortgagee"), and _____________________________, a ________________ [name of state] [corporation] [limited partnership] [limited liability company] (hereinafter called "Tenant").

W I T N E S S E T H:

Recitals

A. Tenant is the tenant under a lease dated ______________, ____, by and between

Tenant and _________________, a ___________________ (said Landlord and its successors and assigns occupying the position of landlord under the Lease hereinafter called "Landlord"), covering a portion of the Mortgaged Property (hereinafter called the "Demised Premises"), wherein Landlord leased to Tenant certain premises known as the “Demised Premises” located on the property legally described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Mortgaged Property”).

B. Mortgagee intends to make or is making a loan (the “Loan”) to __________________, a _____________ limited liability company (“Borrower”), in connection with its acquisition of the Mortgaged Property from Landlord, which will be evidenced by a Promissory Note (the “Note”) from Borrower to Mortgagee and secured in part by a first deed of trust, mortgage, or deed to secure debt (which is herein called the “Mortgage”). The Mortgage, the Note and all other documents and instruments evidencing and/or securing the Note or now or hereafter executed by Borrower or others in connection with or related to the Loan including any assignments of leases and rents, other assignments, security agreements, financing statements, guaranties, indemnity agreements (including environmental indemnity agreements), letters of credit, or escrow/holdback arrangements, together with all amendments, modifications, substitutions or replacements thereof, are sometimes herein collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”.

C. Tenant has been requested to, and is willing to, enter into this agreement as part of the transaction for the Loan from Lender to Borrower, which will be of benefit to Tenant by preserving and maintaining the financial standing of Borrower with regard to the Mortgaged Property and the Demised Premises.

Agreements

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, Mortgagee and Tenant hereby agree and covenant as follows:

1. The Lease now is, and shall at all times continue to be, subject and subordinate in each and every respect, to the Mortgage and to any and all liens, interests and rights created thereby and to any and all increases, renewals, modifications, extensions, substitutions, replacements and/or consolidations of the Mortgage, provided that any and all such increases, renewals, modifications, extensions, substitutions, replacements and/or consolidations shall nevertheless be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

2. So long as Tenant is not in default (beyond any period given Tenant to cure such default) in the payment of rent or additional rent or in the performance of any term, covenant or condition of the Lease or this Agreement on Tenant's part to be performed, (a) Tenant's possession of the Demised Premises and Tenant's rights and privileges under the Lease, shall not be disturbed or interfered with by Mortgagee in the exercise of its rights under the Mortgage to foreclose said Mortgage and/or to have the Mortgaged Property sold at trustee’s sale, and (b) Mortgagee will not join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding for the purposes of terminating Tenant's interest and estate under the Lease because of any default under the Mortgage, however Mortgagee may join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding to enforce the Mortgage or any other instrument given as security for the loan to Landlord, if such is done only for purposes of procedure and required completeness and not for the purposes of canceling the Lease or Tenant's rights under such Lease. The term “Mortgagee” shall include all persons deriving title to the Mortgaged Property by, through or under Mortgagee.

3. In the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of the Mortgage, or if the Mortgaged Property be sold pursuant to a trustee's sale under the Mortgage or if the Mortgagee becomes owner of the Mortgaged Property by acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser or Mortgagee, as the case may be, upon any such foreclosure sale or trustee's sale or acceptance by Mortgagee of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure and Tenant shall recognize such purchaser or Mortgagee, as the case may be, as the Landlord under the Lease. Such attornment shall be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument on the part of any of the parties hereto. Tenant agrees, however, to execute and deliver at any time and from time to time, upon the request of Landlord or of any holder(s) of any of the indebtedness or other obligations secured by the Mortgage or any such purchaser, any instrument or certificate which, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord or of such holder(s) or such purchaser, may be necessary or appropriate in any such foreclosure proceeding or otherwise to evidence such attornment.

4. If Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under the Lease in any manner, or if any purchaser acquires the Demised Premises upon any foreclosure of the Mortgage or any trustee's sale under the Mortgage, Mortgagee or such purchaser, as the case may be, shall have the same remedies by entry, action or otherwise in the event of any default by Tenant (beyond any period given Tenant to cure such default) in the payment of rent or additional rent or in the performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease on Tenant's part to be performed that Landlord had or would have had if Mortgagee or such purchaser had not succeeded

to the interest of Landlord. From and after any such attornment, Mortgagee or such purchaser shall be bound to Tenant under all the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Lease, and Tenant shall, from and after the succession to the interest of Landlord under the Lease by Mortgagee or such purchaser, have the same remedies against Mortgagee or such purchaser for the breach of an agreement contained in the Lease that Tenant might have had under the Lease against Landlord if Mortgagee or such purchaser had not succeeded to the interest of Landlord; provided, however, the Mortgagee or such purchaser shall not be:

(a) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord); or

(b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord); or

(c) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or

(d) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without Mortgagee’s prior written consent; or

(e) liable for any security deposit, rental deposit or similar deposit given by Tenant to a prior landlord (including Landlord) unless such deposit was actually paid over to Mortgagee or such purchaser by the prior landlord; or

(f) liable for any moving, relocation or refurbishment allowance or any construction of or payment of allowance for tenant improvements to the Demised Premises or the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof for the benefit of Tenant; or

(g) liable for any repairs or replacements to the Mortgaged Property or the Demised Premises arising prior to the date Mortgagee takes possession of the Mortgaged Property.

5. Nothing herein contained is intended, nor shall it be construed, to abridge or adversely affect any right or remedy of Landlord under the Lease in the event of any default by Tenant (beyond any period given Tenant to cure such default) in the payment of rent or additional rent or in the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant's part to be performed.

6. This Agreement and the Lease may not be amended or modified orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their successors and assigns, and any purchaser or purchasers at foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

7. Tenant represents that it has no right or option of any nature to purchase the Mortgaged Property or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any interest in the Borrower. To the extent Tenant has or acquires any such right or option, these rights or options are

acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and are waived and released as to Mortgagee and any purchaser of the Mortgaged Property under and/or following a trustee’s sale.

8. To the extent that the Lease shall entitle the Tenant to notice of any mortgage, and/or the address of the Mortgagee, this Agreement shall constitute such notice to the Tenant with respect to the Mortgage and to the address of the Mortgagee. So long as the Mortgage on the premises remains outstanding, Tenant will deliver to Mortgagee a copy of all notices permitted or required to be given to Landlord by Tenant pursuant to which Tenant proposes to abate or reduce the rental payable under the Lease or to terminate or cancel the Lease, and that no such notices to Landlord shall be effective, unless a copy of such notice is also delivered to Mortgagee. At any time before the rights of Landlord shall have been forfeited or adversely affected because of any default or failure of performance under the Lease as therein provided, Mortgagee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure such default or failure of performance within thirty (30) days from Mortgagee’s receipt of such written notice from Tenant stating the nature of such default or failure of performance, or such longer time as may be reasonably required, provided that Mortgagee commences to cure within such thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues such cure to completion.

9. Tenant agrees to pay all rents directly to Mortgagee immediately upon notice that Mortgagee is exercising its rights to such rents under the Mortgage or any other loan document executed in connection with the Mortgage, including but not limited to, any assignment of leases and rents, following a default by Landlord or other applicable party beyond any applicable cure period.

10. All notices to be sent hereunder shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, by a nationally recognized overnight courier, or shall be personally delivered to the respective parties at the following addresses:

If to Mortgagee: _______________________________________

_______________________________________

If to Tenant: ________________________________________

Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given and received either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of delivery service or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein.

11. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

12. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument with the same signature as if all parties to this Agreement had signed the same signature page.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have hereunto caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

5.1 Title Documents. Seller has provided to Purchaser copies of existing title policies and any existing surveys applicable to the Property, to the extent in Seller’s possession or control.

On or before the Examination Date, Purchaser shall review the Commitment, documents and information pertaining to the exceptions to title listed in the Commitment and the Survey.

5.3 Notice of Objection. Purchaser may advise Seller in writing and in reasonable detail, not later than the Examination Date, as to what exceptions or other matters shown on the Commitment and/or Survey, if any, are not acceptable to Purchaser (collectively, the “Title Objections”). Prior to, or concurrently with, notifying Seller of any Title Objections, Purchaser shall endeavor in good faith to cause the Title Company to modify and update the Commitment to reflect its requested corrections and revisions. All title exceptions and survey matters not mentioned as part of Purchaser’s Title Objections shall be deemed approved by Purchaser. In the event Purchaser fails to deliver any notice of Purchaser’s Title Objections prior to the Examination Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved all exceptions or other matters shown on the Commitment and the Survey. Seller shall have five (5) business days after receipt of Purchaser’s Title Objections to give Purchaser notice that (a) Seller will remove any Title Objections from title (or afford the Title Company the necessary information or certifications to permit it to insure over such exceptions), at Seller’s cost (provided that Seller shall have no obligation to cure any title objections except as expressly provided in Section 5.2), or (b) Seller elects not to cause such exceptions to be removed or insured over. Seller’s failure to provide notice to Purchaser as to any Title Objection shall be deemed an election by Seller not to remove the Title Objection. If Seller so notifies or is deemed to have notified that Seller will not remove or insure over any or all of the Title Objections, Purchaser shall have five (5) business days to determine whether (i) to proceed with the purchase and take the Property subject to such exceptions (in which event such exception shall be deemed approved by Purchaser) or (ii) to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, and if so terminated, the Earnest Money shall be refunded by Escrow Agent to Purchaser without any further consent required from Seller and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except for those provisions that survive the termination of this Agreement. Purchaser’s failure to give Seller notice shall be deemed to be an election by Purchaser under clause (ii) above. In the event that any update to the Commitment indicates the existence of any liens, encumbrances or other defects or exceptions (the “Additional Objections”) which are not shown in the initial Commitment and that are unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall within five (5) business days after receipt of any such update to the Commitment notify Seller in writing of its objection to any such Additional Objection (the “Additional Objections Notice”). Within five (5) business days after receipt of an Additional Objections Notice, Seller shall have the option in its sole discretion to either: (a) elect to remove such Additional Objections, or, where applicable, agree that Seller will cause such items to be discharged at or before Closing; or (b) notify Purchaser that Seller is unwilling to remove such Additional Objections. If Seller fails or elects not to remove such Additional Objections within said five (5) business day time period, then Purchaser shall have the option of (i) waiving its title objections and accepting the title as it then exists (in which event such additional exceptions shall be deemed approved by Purchaser); or (ii) terminating this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded by Escrow Agent to Purchaser without any further consent required from Seller and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except for those provisions that survive the termination of this Agreement.

6. SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Based upon the foregoing, Seller represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Purchaser as follows:

If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 12.2 (or if the cost to replace or repair the damage or destruction is estimated to be Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or less), then Seller shall on the Closing Date pay to Purchaser all insurance proceeds then received by Seller in connection with such casualty, together with any deductible amounts under Seller’s insurance policies (except for (i) Seller’s allocable share of business interruption or rental loss insurance proceeds, and (ii) such proceeds which have been paid by Seller to unaffiliated independent contractors for the repair or restoration of the Property occasioned by the damage or destruction; provided, however, Seller shall have no duty to undertake any such repair or restoration) and all condemnation awards and compensation then received by Seller which are not paid to tenants pursuant to the Tenant Leases.

From and after the Examination Date, Seller authorizes Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, to participate in such condemnation proceedings to further and protect Purchaser’s interest in said proceedings and to prosecute any appeal and contest any compensation and award that Purchaser reasonably determines does not constitute the fair market value of the Property or any portion thereof taken or threatened to be taken.

Purchaser and Seller each shall indemnify the other party hereto against any additional liabilities and costs and fees incurred solely as a result of such party’s participation in the Exchange.

The foregoing provisions shall not limit, modify, impair, diminish or abrogate the obligations and indemnities of Purchaser under Sections 8.1 and 17.2 hereof in the event of the Closing.

15. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

15.1.2 Purchaser’s determination on or before 6:00 p.m., Atlanta, Georgia time, on the Examination Date, that the condition of the Property is satisfactory.

15.1.7 Seller shall have made all deliveries required to be made at or prior to the applicable Closing pursuant to this Agreement, including those set forth in Section 10.3 herein.

Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the balance of tenants at each Property (such tenants being herein referred to as individually as the “Other Tenant” and collectively as the “Other Tenants”, and such certificates being the “Tenant Estoppel Certificates” and each a “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”), and guarantor estoppel certificates (the “Guarantor Estoppel Certificates”) from the guarantors of the Leases, if any, in substantially the form attached hereto and made a part hereof as Schedule 5.1.8 or otherwise in a form sufficient for the applicable tenant to fulfill its obligation to deliver a Tenant Estoppel Certificate under its lease, and dated not more than forty five (45) days prior to the Closing Date. Receipt of Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the Anchors and seventy-five percent (75%) (the “Required Percentage”) of the Other Tenants (excluding the Anchor Tenants) at each Property shall be a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close the transactions contemplated hereby. With respect to Tenant Estoppel Certificates from up to fifty percent (50%) of the Required Percentage of the Other Tenants, but not for any Anchor Tenant, in lieu of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate, Seller may deliver a Seller estoppel certificate (the "Seller Estoppel") certifying all of the information in the Tenant Estoppel Certificate form to its knowledge in lieu of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from up to fifty percent (50%) of the Required Percentage of any such Other Tenants; and provided further, that upon receipt by Purchaser of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate in the form required hereunder which does not disclose any material adverse matters, or is otherwise acceptable to Purchaser and for which Seller previously delivered a Seller Estoppel, such estoppel shall immediately replace the Seller Estoppel as to such Other Tenants, the Seller Estoppel shall immediately become void and Seller shall have no liability in connection therewith. In the event that Purchaser’s lender, if any, requires subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements (“SNDAs”) from any tenants at the Property, Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in requesting SNDAs from any such tenants in substantially the form attached hereto and made a part hereof as Schedule 5.1.8, provided that receipt of SNDA’s or Guarantor Estoppel Certificates shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close under this Agreement. If Seller is unsuccessful in obtaining Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the Anchor Tenants and the Required Percentage of the Other Tenants (excluding the Anchor Tenants) as set forth above, or if the Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the Anchor Tenants or the Other Tenants comprising the Required Percentage contains or discloses information which is materially different (and less favorable to the landlord) as to the status or terms of the Anchor Tenant leases or the leases of the Other Tenants comprising the Required Percentage from the applicable information set forth in the Rent Roll, then, in either such event, Purchaser’s sole option shall be to either (a) waive the delivery of the Tenant Estoppel Certificates from the Anchor Tenants and the Required Percentage of the Other Tenants (excluding the Anchor Tenants) and proceed with the Closing, without any abatement or other adjustment in the Purchase Price, or (b) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be refunded by Escrow Agent to Purchaser without any further consent required from Seller and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder

except for those provisions that survive the termination of this Agreement. Such election shall be made on or before the Closing Date, and if Purchaser fails to make such an election by such time, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 15.1.7. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s inability to obtain any of the certificates described herein shall not constitute a Seller default hereunder.

15.1.9 Purchaser shall not have any obligation to purchase the Property from Seller unless Seller simultaneously closes on the sale of the Barclay Crossing, Doral Isles, and Sweetgrass Corner Shopping Centers pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement between Purchaser and U.S. Retail Income Fund VI, Limited Partnership dated July 31, 2014, (the “RIF VI Agreement”).

15.2 Satisfaction or Waiver of Condition. If the Purchaser does not provide notice to Seller that the condition precedent in Section 15.1.1 is not satisfied on or prior to 6:00 p.m., Atlanta, Georgia time on the Examination Date, then the condition precedent shall be deemed waived and satisfied and Purchaser shall make the Additional Earnest Money deposit. If Purchaser does not elect in writing prior to 6:00 p.m., Atlanta, Georgia time on the Examination Date to terminate this Agreement, then it shall be determined that Purchaser’s findings upon inspection of the Property and examination of related documents and records furnished or made available by Seller are satisfactory and acceptable to it and that Purchaser intends to close.

15.3.3 Purchaser shall have tendered performance on the Closing Date as required hereunder.

any event, Purchaser’s consent to the close of escrow pursuant to this Agreement shall waive any remaining unfulfilled conditions, and any liability on the part of Seller for breaches of representations and warranties of which Purchaser had knowledge as of the Closing.

Seller and Purchaser warrant and represent that, except for the fee payable to Broker, there are and will be no brokers’ or intermediaries’ commissions or fees payable as a consequence of the sale and purchase of the Property as contemplated by and provided for in this Agreement.

18.3 In addition to and without limiting any other indemnity and hold harmless provision contained herein or in the Assignment and Assumption, Purchaser shall and does hereby indemnify and save and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, demands, actions, judgments, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs of litigation) of any kind or nature, (i) arising out of or relating to Purchaser’s failure to assume and discharge the Assumed Liabilities, (ii) arising out of or relating to Purchaser’s failure to perform any duty or obligation assumed by Purchaser under the Tenant Leases from and after the date of Closing, or (iii) arising out of or relating to Purchaser’s failure to make payments agreed to and required of Purchaser as a result of the adjustments set forth in Article 11 hereof; provided, however, the foregoing indemnity and hold harmless provision shall not (i) extend to liabilities and obligations and matters for which Seller has indemnified and held harmless Purchaser under any of the provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) limit or impair the other rights and remedies of Seller hereunder or at law or in equity.

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. Announces Agreements to Acquire Nine Grocery-Anchored Necessity Retail Shopping Centers

Atlanta, GA, August 4, 2014

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (NYSE MKT: APTS) ("PAC" or the "Company") today announced that Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P. ("PAC-OP"), PAC's operating partnership, and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries entered into agreements to acquire an aggregate of nine grocery-anchored necessity retail shopping centers located in the Miami, Orlando and Tampa, FL, Atlanta and Columbus, GA, Charleston, SC, Nashville, TN and Houston, TX areas. "We're thrilled to have the opportunity to add these assets to our Class A multifamily portfolio as part of our overall strategy to have a limited portion of the Company's assets allocated to non-multifamily assets, said John A. Williams, PAC's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Williams added, "We believe this strategy will position the Company to significantly enhance stockholder value. We were able to generate these opportunities by working over the last several months with Joel Murphy, an experienced retail industry veteran with a long, established track record of success in the retail sector. In contemplation of entering the necessity retail shopping center space, we formed New Market Properties, LLC, a subsidiary wholly owned by PAC-OP. We are pleased to announce that Joel has agreed to join our management team as President and CEO of New Market Properties. In addition, we expect our Board of Directors will appoint Joel as a member of the board."

The nine grocery-anchored necessity retail shopping centers are represented by two portfolios. One portfolio consists of seven assets, representing an aggregate of 513,723 square feet. Of these seven assets, Publix is the anchor tenant at five centers located in each of Atlanta and Columbus, GA, and Miami, Orlando and Tampa, FL. Kroger and Bi-Lo are the anchor tenants at the shopping centers located in Houston, TX and Charleston, SC, respectively. The second portfolio consists of two Publix anchored shopping centers located in Nashville, TN representing an aggregate of 127,157 square feet. The total purchase price for these two portfolios is approximately $125.2 million. The purchase price indicated is exclusive of acquisition and financing-related transaction costs. Although the Company believes that the acquisition of these properties is probable, there are customary closing conditions that must first be satisfied.

In connection with these acquisitions, the board of directors of the Company is expected to increase our non-multifamily asset allocation from 10% to up to 20% of the Company's assets. Going forward, the Company will include in this calculation the incremental difference between the value of our mezzanine loan investments and the total development project cost of the assets underlying these investments that have been fully funded by PAC and on which PAC has purchase options. The Company's strategy is to aggregate a critical mass of necessity retail shopping center assets, including the two acquisition portfolios noted above, within New Market Properties and then spin off New Market Properties into an independent, publicly traded REIT as soon as the Company believes it has reached scale, with Mr. Murphy remaining as President and CEO of New Market Properties. Moreover, there is an expectation that PAC will continue to own an investment in New Market Properties following the spin off.

The Company expects to fund the acquisition of these grocery-anchored necessity retail shopping centers with planned debt financing for each shopping center and a combination of the following: (i) cash on hand; (ii) borrowings under the Company's senior secured credit facility with Key Bank National Association; (iii) bridge-debt financing; (iv) net proceeds from additional issuances of our securities; and (v) net proceeds from refinancing certain of our existing assets. We anticipate paying down any bridge debt financing from subsequent sales of our Series A Preferred Stock and Warrant offering.
