In consideration of the mutual covenants and undertakings hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Buyer and Seller agree as follows:

1.    Sale of Property. Seller agrees to sell and convey to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase and acquire from Seller, (i) the land located at 3500 – 3750 N. Elston Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, known as Elston Plaza (the “Shopping Center”), legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Land”), with all improvements thereon including two (2) retail buildings containing a total of approximately 92,806 square feet (the “Improvements”), together with all rights, privileges, easements and appurtenances thereto, including any and all mineral rights, development rights, air rights, and the like and all right, title and interest of Seller in and to all strips and gores and any land lying in the bed of any street, road or alley, open or proposed, adjoining the Land, (ii) together with an assignment of Seller’s interest as lessor in the leases (the “Leases”) with the tenants in possession in the Shopping Center (the “Tenants”) described on the rent roll delivered to Buyer in connection with this Agreement and all amendments and modifications thereto and the benefit of any guaranties thereof and all unapplied security deposits and unapplied prepaid rent, if any thereunder, (iii) together with all right, title and interest of Seller in and to all tangible personal property owned by Seller and now or hereafter used in connection with the operation, ownership, maintenance, management or occupancy of the Shopping Center, if any, including, without limitation, the equipment, machinery, furniture, furnishings and supplies, but excluding any items of personal property owned by tenants at or on the Land and further excluding any items of personal property owned by third parties and leased to Seller (the “Personal Property”), warranties relating to the Shopping Center, Service Contracts (as hereinafter defined) which are being assumed by Buyer, governmental permits and licenses relating to the operation of the Property, if any (to the extent assignable and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense), and all easements, rights and privileges appurtenant thereto (collectively, the “Property”).

2.    Purchase Price. The purchase price to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Property (“Purchase Price”) shall be the sum of Twenty Eight Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($28,350,000.00), payable as follows:

two (2) business days of the Effective Date of this Agreement. The Seller shall be the beneficiary of Buyer’s Letter of Credit.

The Buyer’s Letter of Credit and Earnest Money shall be held pursuant to and in accordance with the Earnest Money Escrow Instructions in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I, which shall be executed by Buyer and Seller concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and by Escrowee upon receipt of the Buyer’s Letter of Credit. Upon the expiration or earlier waiver of the Due Diligence Period, the Earnest Money shall become nonrefundable to Buyer, unless Buyer has terminated this Agreement in writing prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or a condition of Buyer’s obligation to close expressly enumerated herein is not satisfied as of the Closing Date pursuant to Sections 4, 5, 7, 8 or 14(a) of this Agreement. On the Closing Date, if the sale closes, the Earnest Money shall be paid to Seller as part payment of the Purchase Price. On the Closing Date, if the sale does not close, the Earnest Money shall be disbursed by the Title Company in the manner provided for elsewhere herein.

3.    Conditions. Buyer’s obligation to close upon the acquisition of the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is subject to the following conditions, to be met or waived by Buyer on or before 6:00 p.m., Chicago, Illinois local time, on December 10, 2018 (the “Due Diligence Period”):

Effective Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall assume Seller’s contract or contracts with Specialty Alarm Engineering Inc. If Seller fails to deliver any of the foregoing within two (2) business days after the Effective Date, the Due Diligence Period shall be extended on a day-for-day basis until the last of such items are delivered to Buyer.

Buyer may notify Seller of its termination of this Agreement for any reason or for no reason, in Buyer’s sole discretion, in writing on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which

event the Buyer’s Letter of Credit (or any cash deposit substituted therefor) shall be returned to Buyer, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be null, void, terminated and of no further force or effect, except as herein to the contrary expressly provided. If such notice is not so given prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period, these conditions shall be deemed waived, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Buyer shall deposit the Earnest Money, and Seller and Buyer shall proceed to Closing in accordance with the Agreement. On or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall notify Seller of those Service Contracts that Buyer elects to assume as of Closing and Seller shall be obligated to terminate any and all other Service Contracts as of the Closing at Seller’s sole cost and expense.

4.    Title. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain a current commitment (“Title Commitment”) for a 2006 ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (“Title Policy”), in the amount of the Purchase Price, covering the Land and the Improvements, from the Title Company, together with a copy of each recorded document referred to in Schedule B of the Title Commitment and as provided by the Title Company. Buyer acknowledges that the Title Commitment will show that the Property is subject to (a) the standard printed exceptions which will appear in the Title Policy (provided however Seller shall deliver such affidavits and indemnities customarily required by the Title Company to delete the general exceptions from the Buyer’s final Title Policy); (b) real estate taxes and special assessments which are not yet delinquent; (c) the Leases; and (d) existing, recorded easements and restrictions (collectively called the “Existing Encumbrances”). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Buyer and the Title Company a currently dated survey prepared to the ALTA standards described on Exhibit C, attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Survey”). Buyer shall have seven (7) business days after receiving the last of the Survey and the Title Commitment (including copies of all underlying documents), to raise, by written notice to Seller, any objections to the exceptions reported in the Title Commitment or matter shown on the Survey that Buyer may have. Other than Mandatory Cure Items (as hereinafter defined), all objections not so raised shall be deemed waived, and Buyer agrees to take title to the Property subject to all encumbrances, restrictions, conditions, reservations, easements, encroachments and other matters (if any) described by the Survey and in the Title Commitment and not so objected to or which are otherwise hereafter approved by Buyer (collectively called “Permitted Encumbrances”). If Buyer so raises any such objections, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure the same on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller shall not have any obligation to take any action or to incur any cost or expense in connection with the cure of any thereof except any (i) financing liens caused by Seller or its agents, (ii) tax liens relating to the Property, (iii) liens resulting solely from acts of Seller or its agents occurring on or after the Effective Date or (iv) other liens or encumbrances which secure other monetary obligations which in the aggregate do not exceed One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (collectively, “Mandatory Cure Items”). Seller hereby obligates itself to remove at its sole cost and expense and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer all Mandatory Cure Items. If Seller is unable or unwilling to remove any Mandatory Cure Items, Buyer may discharge the same at Closing and deduct the cost to do so from the Purchase Price and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in doing so. Within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of written notice of any objections by Buyer, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing whether Seller intends to attempt to cure such objections (“Seller’s Title Cure Notice”). If Seller does cure such objections on or before the Closing Date,

Buyer shall purchase the Property in accordance with the provisions hereof. If Seller elects not to cure or fails to cure such objections that it has elected to cure on or before the Closing Date, Buyer may elect, by written notice to Seller delivered on or before the date that is five (5) business days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s Title Cure Notice, either (i) to purchase the Property notwithstanding such failure to cure, in accordance with the provisions hereof, and without any reduction in or abatement of the Purchase Price, subject to the matters objected to, and without any continuing obligation upon Seller to cure the same, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement as a result of such failure to cure, in which event Buyer’s Letter of Credit shall be returned to Buyer and all Earnest Money shall be paid to Buyer, with this Agreement being deemed null, void, and of no further force or effect, and such event shall not constitute a default by Seller. If Buyer fails to elect either option (i) or (ii) above, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected option (i). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Leases and real estate taxes and special assessments that are not yet delinquent shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances. Buyer shall also have the right to update the effective date of the Title Commitment prior to Closing, and object to any new title exceptions reflected in the updated title commitment, within three (3) business days of receiving such updated title commitment.

5.    Seller’s Representations and Warranties. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

and any other monetary obligations thereunder; and, except as set forth on the Rent Roll or in the Leases, (i) Seller has not delivered or received any notice of default under the Leases, which such default remains uncured as of the date hereof, (ii) there are no commissions or other fees payable with regard to any of the Leases or with regard to any renewals, extensions or expansions (whether due to options previously or hereafter exercised or separately negotiated), (iii) any and all tenant improvement work currently required to be done by the landlord under the provisions of any agreement with any tenant and any contributions or other allowances payable by the landlord to any tenant toward reimbursement of such tenant’s cost of moving or improvements or any similar expense or monetary consideration to the tenant has been fully completed and paid for, and (iv) Seller has completed all tenant reconciliations for the calendar years 2017 and prior.

Each of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 5: (i) is made as of the Effective Date; (ii) will be deemed to be remade by Seller and be true in all material respects, as of Closing; and (iii) will survive for a period of six (6) months after the Closing (the “Survival Period”). Any claim that Buyer may have at any time against Seller for a breach of any such representation or warranty, whether known or unknown, which is not asserted by written notice from Buyer to Seller within the Survival Period will not be valid or effective, and Seller will have no liability with respect thereto. For all purposes, “Seller’s knowledge” shall be deemed to mean only the actual, present knowledge of Teena Lorie Harris, the current property manager, and Laura Sawicki, the director of property management, and shall not include the knowledge, actual, implied, imputed or

constructive, of any partner, member, related entity, agent, attorney, contractor, consultant, or other employee of Seller, or of any other person or entity. The continued accuracy of the aforesaid representations and warranties is a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close. If Buyer discovers that any such statement or representation is untrue or incorrect in any material respect, Buyer shall immediately notify Seller thereof. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such material untruth, incorrectness or breach on or before the Closing Date. If Seller does cure the same on or before the Closing Date, Buyer shall purchase the Property in accordance with the terms hereof. If Seller fails to cure the same on or before the Closing Date, Buyer may elect, by written notice to Seller, either (a) to purchase the Property notwithstanding such failure to cure, without any reduction in the Purchase Price, without any continuing obligation of Seller to cure the same or to pay any damages to Buyer, the same being deemed to be waived by Buyer, or (b) to terminate this Agreement, in which event all Earnest Money shall be paid to Buyer and Buyer may pursue its remedies under this Agreement if a representation or warranty of Seller was breached (provided Buyer is not otherwise in default beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods), and this Agreement shall be deemed to be null, void, terminated and of no further force or effect, except as herein to the contrary expressly provided. If Buyer fails to so elect either said option (a) or said option (b), Buyer shall be deemed to have elected said option (a).

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN OR ANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED BY SELLER AT CLOSING (COLLECTIVELY, THE “SELLER WARRANTIES”), SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY OR ITS LEGAL, PHYSICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL OR ECONOMIC CONDITION. EXCEPT THE SELLER WARRANTIES, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY NOT HEREIN EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED BY SELLER.

Seller shall give Buyer, together with any request for approval of a new Lease or Lease amendment, copies of the proposed Lease or Lease amendments, a description of the proposed tenant and its proposed use of the premises, and whatever financial information on the proposed tenant Seller has received. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Section 6.a, if Buyer fails to disapprove in writing any such new Lease or other action requiring Buyer’s consent under this Section 6.a within five (5) days after Buyer’s receipt of such request and information, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such new Lease or other action.

If Buyer shall fail to give such written notice, then the parties shall proceed to Closing (as hereinafter defined), and Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Seller’s rights to all insurance proceeds related solely to the Property, if any, resulting from such event. If any Tenant exercises or fails to waive a right under its lease to abate rent or terminate its lease due to casualty or eminent domain/condemnation proceedings against the Property or if there is an uninsured casualty or an underinsured casualty Seller shall immediately give notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive back Buyer’s Letter of Credit and all Earnest Money by giving written notice to Seller within five (5) days after Seller’s notice to Buyer of the casualty or eminent domain/condemnation.

proceeds of insurance payable to Seller by reason of such damage or condemnation shall be paid or assigned to Buyer; Seller shall also pay to Buyer the amount of any deductible and/or co-insurance under any such policy. In the event of non‑material damage to the Property, which damage Seller is unwilling or unable to repair prior to Closing, Buyer shall accept the Property in its then condition and in doing so, shall be entitled to a reduction in the Purchase Price to the extent of the cost of repairing such damage, as determined by engineers employed by Buyer as part of its due diligence, up to an amount of $250,000.00.

A.WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer have entered into that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale on or about the date hereof (the “Purchase Contract”), whereby Seller agreed to sell and Buyer agreed to purchase certain real property located in Chicago, Illinois, more particularly described therein (the “Property”);

B.WHEREAS, the Purchase Contract obligates Buyer to deposit a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the sum of $500,000.00 with the Escrow Agent within two (2) business days after the Effective Date of the Purchase Contract to secure its obligations under the Purchase Contract, the Letter of Credit to be replaced by the Cash Deposit (as hereinafter defined), if the Purchase Contract is not terminated in accordance with Section 3 thereof prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (the Letter of Credit and the Cash Deposit, together with any interest earned on the Cash Deposit, shall be referred to herein as the “Deposit”); and

C.WHEREAS, the parties now desire to set forth the terms and conditions of the Escrow.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.    The parties agree that the Cash Deposit will be placed in an interest-bearing escrow account or other interest bearing instrument which Buyer may elect from among those offered by Escrow Agent. Any interest earned on the Cash Deposit, less investment fees, shall be deemed to be part of the Deposit. All checks, money orders or drafts will be processed for collection in the normal course of business. Escrow Agent may initially deposit such funds in its custodial or escrow accounts which may result in the funds being commingled with escrow funds of others for a time; however, as soon as the Cash Deposit has been credited as collected funds to Escrow Agent’s account, then Escrow Agent shall immediately deposit the Cash Deposit into an interest bearing account with any reputable trust company, bank, savings bank, savings association, or other financial services entity approved by Seller and Buyer. Deposits held by Escrow Agent shall be subject to the provisions of applicable state statutes governing unclaimed property. Seller and Buyer will execute the appropriate Internal Revenue Service documentation for the giving of taxpayer identification information relating to this account. Seller and Buyer do hereby certify that each is aware that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverages apply to a maximum legally specified maximum

amount per depositor. Further, Seller and Buyer understand that Escrow Agent assumes no responsibility for, nor will Seller or Buyer hold same liable for any loss occurring which arises from a situation or event under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverages.

All interest will accrue to and be reported to the Internal Revenue Service for the account of Buyer, as set forth below:

Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any penalties, or loss of principal or interest, or any delays in the withdrawal of the funds which may be imposed by the depository institution as a result of the making or redeeming of the investment pursuant to Seller and Buyer instructions.

2.    In the event Buyer terminates the Purchase Contract pursuant to Section 3 thereof on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period, Escrow Agent shall upon the written request of Buyer deliver the Deposit to Buyer and notify Seller of such disbursement. Any request from Buyer received by Escrow Agent to return the Deposit to Buyer on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall constitute Buyer’s election to terminate the Purchase Contract pursuant to Section 3 of the Purchase Contract. Buyer shall send a copy of any such request to Seller simultaneously with delivery of such request to Escrow Agent. If the Purchase Contract is not terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 3 of the Purchase Contract, Buyer shall replace the Letter of Credit with cash in the amount of $1,000,000.00 (the “Cash Deposit”) within one (1) business day of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Cash Deposit, the Letter of Credit shall be returned to Buyer. Escrow Agent shall, no later than two (2) business days prior to the expiry date of the Letter of Credit, draw down the face amount thereof and hold the proceeds as the Deposit in accordance herewith. In the event Buyer fails to replace the Letter of Credit with the Cash Deposit within one (1) business day of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Escrow Agent shall notify the parties of such default by Buyer.

3.    In the event that either party delivers a request for the Deposit to Escrow Agent after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Escrow Agent shall notify the other party of such request and, if Escrow Agent does not receive a notice from the other within seven (7) days after the Escrow Agent’s notice disputing the disbursement, Escrow Agent shall disburse the Deposit in accordance with the request. In the event that any party hereto timely delivers a notice to the other parties hereto disputing a disbursement request (except that Seller shall not have the right to dispute a disbursement request made by Buyer on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period), Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such disputed funds until Escrow Agent shall receive a joint order from Buyer and Seller requesting such disbursement or Escrow Agent shall receive an order, judgment or decree of any court ordering disbursement. In the event that Escrow Agent complies with any orders, judgments or decrees issued or entered by any court, Escrow Agent shall not be

liable to any of the parties hereto by reason of such compliance. In the absence of such a joint order or court order, Escrow Agent may do nothing or may commence an interpleader action as set forth in Section 4 below.

4.    Escrow Agent may pay the Deposit into a court of competent jurisdiction upon commencement by Escrow Agent of an interpleader action in such court. The costs and attorneys’ fees of Escrow Agent for such interpleader action shall be paid one-half by each of the parties.

5.    For purposes of this Agreement, notices sent by facsimile or personal delivery may be addressed as follows:

6.    Escrow Agent shall not charge for its services hereunder. Escrow Agent shall not be required to advance its own funds for any purpose provided that any such advance, made at its option, shall be promptly reimbursed by the party for whom it is advanced, and such optional advance shall not be an admission of liability on the part of Escrow Agent.

7.    Escrow Agent shall have only such duties as are herein specifically provided and shall incur no liability whatsoever, except for willful misconduct or gross negligence so long as Escrow Agent has acted in good faith. Escrow Agent may consult with counsel and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith in accordance with such advice. Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any written instrument given to it hereunder and believed by it to have been signed by any proper party. In case of any suit or proceeding regarding this Escrow, to which the Escrow Agent is or may be at any time a party, it shall have a lien on the contents hereof for any and all costs, attorney’s and solicitor’s fees whether such attorney(s) or solicitor(s) shall be regularly retained or specially employed, and other expenses which it may have incurred or become liable for on account hereof, and it shall be entitled to reimburse itself therefor out of the Deposit, and the undersigned jointly and severally agree to pay to the Escrow Agent upon demand all such costs, fees and expenses so incurred.

8.    Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from the following:

( a )    The effect of the transaction underlying this Agreement including without limitation, any defect in the title to the real estate, any failure or delay in the surrender of possession of the property, the rights or obligations of any party in possession of the property, the financial status or insolvency of any other party, and/or any misrepresentation of fact made by any other party;

( b )    The default, error, act or failure to act by any other party to the escrow;

( c )    Any loss, loss of value or impairment of funds which have been deposited in escrow while those funds are in the course of collection or while those funds are on deposit in a depository institution if such loss or loss of value or impairment results from the failure, insolvency or suspension of a depository institution;

( d )    Any defects or conditions of title to any property that is the subject of this escrow provided, however, that this limitation of liability shall not affect the liability of Chicago Title Insurance Company under any title insurance policy which it has issued or may issue. NOTE:    No title insurance liability is created by this Agreement.

( e )    Escrow Agent’s compliance with any legal process including but not limited to, subpoena, writs, orders, judgments and decrees of any court whether issued with or without jurisdiction and whether or not subsequently vacated, modified, set aside or reversed.

9.    This Agreement shall terminate upon the first to occur of (a) the disbursement by Escrow Agent of all of the Deposit; or (b) the joint written instructions of Buyer and Seller.

10.    Payment of the funds so held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, in accordance with the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, shall fully and completely

discharge and exonerate the Escrow Agent from any and all future liability or obligations of any nature or character at law or equity to the parties hereto or under this Agreement.

11.    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties respective successors and assigns.

12.    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the the laws of the state in which the Property is located.

13.    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

14.    Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement and each and every term and condition hereof.

15.    In the event a dispute arises between Buyer and Seller under this Agreement, the losing party shall pay the attorney’s fees and court costs of the prevailing party.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
