PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, is made as of August 4, 2014 (this "Agreement"), by and between NetREIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and PFP III Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Investor").  Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 6.
In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investor respectively agree, as follows:
1.            Purchase and Sale of the Preferred Stock.
1.1            Sale of Preferred Stock.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor agrees to make an aggregate preferred equity investment in the Company (the "Aggregate Investment") of up to $40,000,000 in a series of capital contributions pursuant to Section 1.2 and Section 1.3 of this Agreement.  Commensurate with the size of the Aggregate Investment, the Company agrees to issue to the Investor a number of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") based on the Preferred Stock's per share purchase price of $1,000.00, with the Preferred Stock having the rights, restrictions, privileges and preferences set forth in the Articles Supplementary attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Articles Supplementary").
1.2            Initial Investment.  The Investor shall pay to the Company an initial investment of $15,000,000 (the "Initial Investment") on the Initial Closing Date (as defined herein).
1.3            Additional Investments.
(a)
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on or before the one-year anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (the "Outside Investment Date") and after any amounts on deposit in the Investment Reserve (as defined herein) from the Initial Investment have been disbursed for Approved Costs (as defined herein), the Company shall have the right to request that the Investor fund one or more additional investments (each, an "Additional Investment", and together with the Initial Investment, each an "Investment") from the Investor in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25,000,000.
(b)
If, on the Outside Investment Date, the Aggregate Investment funded by the Investor to the Company up to and including such date is less than $30,000,000, the Investor shall have the option, but not the obligation, to fund the difference between such Aggregate Investment previously funded and $30,000,000 into the Investment Reserve on the Outside Investment Date.  Contemporaneously with the funding of such difference, the Company shall be obligated to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Investor certificates representing shares of Preferred Stock purchased by the funding of such difference, based on the Preferred Stock's per share purchase price of $1,000.00, such certificates to be free and clear of any Liens.  For the avoidance of doubt, such funding shall constitute an Investment for purposes of this Agreement.
(c)
If, on the Outside Investment Date, the Aggregate Investment funded by the Investor to the Company up to and including such date is greater than $30,000,000 but less than $40,000,000, the Company shall have the option, but not the obligation, to request that the Investor fund the difference between such Aggregate Investment and $40,000,000 into the Investment Reserve on the Outside Investment Date and the Investor shall have the option, but not the obligation to fund such difference into the Investment Reserve on the Outside Investment Date.  Contemporaneously with the funding of such difference, the Company shall be obligated to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Investor certificates representing shares of Preferred Stock purchased by the funding of such difference, based on the Preferred Stock's per share purchase price of $1,000.00, such certificates to be free and clear of any Liens.  For the avoidance of doubt, such funding shall constitute an Investment for purposes of this Agreement.
(d)
Following the Outside Investment Date, the Investor shall have no further obligation to fund any Additional Investment.
(e)
For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the Investor makes any Additional Investments pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall be obligated contemporaneously with such funding to deliver shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.4.
(f)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the funding of any Aggregate Investment amount that is in excess of $30,000,000 shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Investor, irrespective of whether the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 have been satisfied.
1.4            Closing; Payment and Delivery.  The closing of the Initial Investment (the "Initial Closing") and each closing of an Additional Investment (each a "Subsequent Closing" and together with the Initial Closing, each a "Closing") shall take place via electronic exchange of documents.  Payment of each Investment shall be, (i) in the case of Approved Costs agreed upon by the Company and the Investor as of the Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account(s) designated by the Company to the Investor in writing at least ten Business Days prior to the Closing, (ii) in the case of any amounts not applied by the Company to Approved Costs as of the Closing, by deposit into the Investment Reserve in accordance with Section 1.5 of the Agreement, or (iii) in such manner as may otherwise be agreed to by the Company and the Investor.  At each Closing (or at the time of any funding of any Additional Investments, if earlier), the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Investor certificates representing the Preferred Stock purchased by payment of the Investment made at such Closing, based on the Preferred Stock's per share purchase price of $1,000.00, such certificates to be free and clear of any Liens.
1.5            Use of Funds.  The Investments shall be used only to pay (i) acquisition costs relating to the acquisition of additional Properties (as defined herein) approved by the Investor, (ii) fees and expenses relating to the Aggregate Investment approved by the Investor, (iii) any costs incurred by the Company in respect of the 6.3% Redemption (as defined herein) under Section 2.1(i) and (iv) other costs and expenses of the Company approved by the Investor (clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 1.5, collectively, "Approved Costs").  For each Investment, any amounts not applied by the Company to Approved Costs at the time of the Closing shall be deposited by the Investor into a reserve account owned by the Company (the "Investment Reserve"), subject to control of Investor for long as the Investor holds Preferred Stock.  Funds held in such account shall be funds of the Company but shall be disbursed only with consent of the Investor, for so long as the Investor holds Preferred Shares, to pay for future Approved Costs.  In addition, and for the avoidance of doubt, any disbursements from the Investment Reserve with respect to any Approved Costs relating to an additional Property shall also be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Investor in its sole and absolute discretion) of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2.2 with respect to such Property.
2.            Conditions to Closing.

3.2            Authorization; Enforcement.  The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.  The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and no further consent or action is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders.  Each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will be) duly executed by the Company and is, or when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute, the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
3.3            No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not, and will not, (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Articles, the Company's bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any organizational documents of any of the Company's Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default or violation (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default or violation) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, or result in the creation of any Lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the terms or conditions of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound, or affected, except to the extent that such conflict, default, termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation right would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (including, without limitation, the Senior Loans and the related Senior Loan Documents or any JV Agreement), (iii) result in a violation of any permit, license, authorization or similar governmental approval which is applicable to or binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, or (iv) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction (including federal and state securities laws) of any court or Governmental Authority to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected.
3.4            The Preferred Stock.  At each Closing, the Preferred Stock is or will be duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens and will not be subject to preemptive or similar rights of stockholders.  No vote of any class or series of capital stock of or any equity interests in the Company is necessary to approve the issuance of the Preferred Stock by the Company to the Investor.

(b)            Schedule 3.5 of the disclosure letter sets forth a listing of the name of each Subsidiary of the Company, its jurisdiction of incorporation, other jurisdictions in which it is authorized to do business and its capitalization (including the identity of each equityholder and the number and type of equity interests held by each such equityholder).
(c)            Except for the Company's Series 6.3% Preferred Stock (which will rank pari passu with the Preferred Stock with respect to rights in liquidation and priority of dividend until the occurrence of the 6.3% Redemption), no class of equity securities of the Company is senior to the Preferred Stock with respect to rights in liquidation or priority of dividend.
