THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is hereby made and entered into as of the Effective Date (as defined below) by and between HOME DEPOT HOLDINGS INC. (hereinafter referred to as the “Seller”), and SST II Acquisitions, LLC (hereinafter referred to as the “Purchaser”).

RECITALS

A. Seller is the owner of that certain parcel of land containing approximately 12.25 acres located at 1983 Kipling Avenue, in the City of Toronto, as more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, together with all rights, easements and appurtenances pertaining thereto (collectively, the “Original HD Parcel”) and as shown on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit B and made a part hereof.

B. The Original HD Parcel is subject to certain covenants, conditions, easement and restrictions (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”) .

C. Seller desires to sell and Purchaser desires to purchase, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, a portion of the Original HD Parcel, which portion consists of approximately 1.25 acres as shown on the preliminary site plan attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 and made a part hereof, together with all improvements thereon, if any, and all rights, easements and appurtenances pertaining thereto (the “Property”). The conveyance of the Property to Purchaser will be subject to the Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below). The Original HD Parcel, less and except the Property, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “HD Property”.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are all hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Purchase Price. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall sell and transfer the Property to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase the Property from Seller and pay to Seller, by wire transfer, the sum of TWO MILLION ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SEVEN THOUSAND AND FIVE HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,187,500.00) (hereinafter referred to as the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment as provided herein. If the Acreage (as defined below) of the Property is different than 1.25 acres, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted, either up or down, to the sum calculated by multiplying the Acreage by One Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand and Nil/100 Dollars ($1,750,000). For purposes of example only, if the Acreage is 1.20 acres, the Purchase Price would be Two Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,100,000) (which is calculated by multiplying $1,750,000 by 1.20). “Acreage” means the total acreage of the Property (to three decimal places), as determined by the Survey (as defined below). The Survey and the Acreage set forth on the Survey shall be approved by Seller and Purchaser as provided in Section 7(e) below).

2. Deposits.

(a) Within three (3) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser agrees to pay by wire transfer to Miller Thomson LLP (“Seller’s Solicitors”), in trust, a deposit in the amount of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($100,000.00) (the “Initial Deposit”).

The Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit, together with any additional deposits made pursuant to this Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Deposits”.

(c) Except to the extent otherwise set forth herein, all Deposits shall be non-refundable and shall be applied for Purchaser’s benefit against the Purchase Price at Closing (as defined below). All interest which has accrued on the Deposits shall, under all circumstances, belong to the party which is ultimately entitled to receive the Deposits. Purchaser waives any statutory or common right to contest or challenge the enforceability of this Agreement based upon a lack of adequate consideration, the refundability or non-refundability of any Deposits and/or the exercise of any discretion afforded to Seller under this Agreement.

(d) In performing its duties as Seller’s Solicitors holding the Deposits as provided in this Agreement, Seller’s Solicitors shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses or expenses, except for gross negligence, willful default or breach of trust, and it shall accordingly not incur any such liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice of its counsel, or (ii) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including written notice or instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Seller’s Solicitors shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons, and to conform with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event of a dispute between the parties hereto sufficient in the discretion of Seller’s Solicitors to justify it doing so, Seller’s Solicitors shall be entitled to tender into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction, all Deposits held pursuant to this Agreement, together with such legal pleadings as it deems appropriate, and thereupon be discharged from all further duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any such legal action may be brought in such court as Seller’s Solicitors shall determine to have jurisdiction thereof.

(h) The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement, regardless of the reason for such termination.

7. Conditions Precedent.

(a) Inspection Period. It is agreed that Purchaser’s obligations hereunder are conditioned upon Purchaser being satisfied, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, prior to the expiry of the period commencing on the Effective Date and expiring sixty (60) days following the later of: (i) the Effective Date, and (ii) the lifting of the Ontario provincial and applicable municipal (within the jurisdiction where the Property is located) legislated declarations of emergency and related emergency orders imposed in respect of the COVID-19 pandemic (the “Inspection Period”), with the condition of the Property for the construction, development and operation of Purchaser’s intended improvements. Should Purchaser fail to be satisfied with the condition of the Property, Purchaser may elect, by delivery of written notice to Seller on or before the expiration of the Initial Inspection Period, to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Initial Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser (after deducting the Review Fee) and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect with Purchaser and Seller having no further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except as otherwise set forth herein. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7(a), Purchaser shall immediately deliver to Seller all Confidential Information (such obligation to survive the termination of this Agreement). If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7(a) prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed satisfied with the condition of the Property and the Initial Deposit shall be non-refundable to Purchaser except upon a termination of this Agreement due to a default by Seller or as otherwise specifically provided herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (a) above, in the event the Ontario provincial and relevant municipal legislated declarations of emergency and related emergency orders imposed in respect of the COVID-19 pandemic have not been lifted within nine (9) months from the Effective Date, unless each of Seller and Purchaser agree otherwise in writing, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, whereupon the Initial Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser (without deducting any Review Fee) and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect with Purchaser and Seller having no further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except as otherwise set forth herein.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, until the Ontario provincial and relevant municipal legislated declarations of emergency and related emergency orders imposed in respect of the COVID-19 pandemic have been lifted, Seller and Seller’s Solicitors shall have no obligation to review or approve any plans, surveys, applications or any other documents or submissions whatsoever or respond to any Title Objection Notice (hereinafter defined), and the periods provided herein for any such reviews, approvals, responses or related notifications by Seller shall not commence.

(b) Title. Purchaser shall have until the expiry of the Inspection Period (the “Title Review Period”) to examine the title to and Survey of the Property and satisfy itself that the title to the Property is good and free from all registered restrictions, charges, liens, and encumbrances except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement and subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, and to give written notice to Seller (the “Title Objection Notice”) of any objectionable matter or defect which affects the marketability or insurability of the title to the Property (the “Title Objections”). If Purchaser fails to deliver the Title Objection Notice prior to the expiration of the Title Review Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its

right to make Title Objections. If Purchaser does give Seller timely notice of any Title Objections, Seller agrees to notify Purchaser within ten (10) days following Seller’s receipt of the Title Objection Notice as to whether Seller will attempt to cure such Title Objections by the Closing Date (it being specifically acknowledged and understood that Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to cure, remedy or otherwise cause any Title Objections to be removed or insured over). If Seller fails to notify Purchaser within said ten (10) day period or Seller notifies Purchaser within said ten (10) day period that Seller does not intend to attempt to cure any or all of the Title Objections by the Closing Date, then Purchaser may as its sole and exclusive remedy either (i) waive its Title Objections and take title to the Property subject thereto pursuant to the remaining terms of this Agreement, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of such ten (10) day period following receipt by the Seller of such Title Objection Notice. Further, if Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller intends to attempt to cure the Title Objections by the Closing Date but Seller fails to cure such Title Objections by such date, then Purchaser shall be entitled to exercise its option under subsection 7(b)(i) or (ii) above, provided that the option under subsection 7(b)(ii) above shall be exercised prior to the Closing Date. Upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7(b), all Deposits shall be refunded to Purchaser (after deducting the Review Fee), Purchaser shall deliver the Confidential Information to Seller, and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect with Purchaser and Seller having no further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except as otherwise set forth herein.

(c) Approval Period. Purchaser shall obtain all necessary or required Subdivision Approvals for the Property and all permits from governmental authorities having jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, all planning and zoning permits, variances and other regulatory approvals for Purchaser’s development and use of the Property (the “Approvals”), during the Approval Period. The “Approval Period” shall consist of the Initial Approval Period and, if applicable, the Extended Approval Period (each as defined herein). The “Initial Approval Period” shall be the period commencing on the first day after the expiration of the Inspection Period, and ending on the date that is five hundred and forty (540) days after the expiration of the Inspection Period. In pursuing the Approvals, in no event shall Purchaser cause (by requesting a parking variance or otherwise) the number of parking spaces on the HD Property to be less than the sum of (A) the minimum number of parking spaces on the HD Property under applicable governmental rules, regulations and ordinances (without variance), plus (B) twenty-five (25) parking spaces. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to making any submittals to any governmental authorities, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a copy of the proposed submittal and any other documents required by Seller for Seller’s review and prior written approval, as more particularly provided in Section 8 below.

Purchaser shall pursue the Approvals in good faith and with all due diligence. To that end, subject to the provisions of Section 8 below, Purchaser shall make all necessary applications and submittals to all applicable governmental authorities in sufficient time to obtain all Approvals within the Initial Approval Period. At the expiration of the Initial Approval Period, regardless of any extensions that may be exercised or granted hereunder, the Deposits shall be nonrefundable to Purchaser, except upon a termination of this Agreement due to a default by Seller or as otherwise specifically provided herein. In the event Purchaser has made diligent efforts but is unable to obtain the Approvals prior to the end of the Initial Approval Period,

Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser’s election, to extend the Initial Approval Period (the “Extended Approval Period”) for three (3) successive periods of thirty (30) days each (each, an “Extension Option”). If Purchaser elects to exercise an Extension Option as provided herein, Purchaser shall notify Seller of such election in writing prior to the end of the Initial Approval Period or the then current Extended Approval Period, as the case may be, and shall in each instance simultaneously deliver to Seller’s Solicitors, as an additional deposit, the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) (collectively, the “Extension Deposits”, and each individually, an “Extension Deposit”). The Extension Deposits shall be credited against the Purchase Price, if Closing occurs, but upon deposit shall be nonrefundable to Purchaser, unless this Agreement is terminated due to a default by Seller and may be released to Seller at any time upon Seller’s request. Further, from and after the expiration of the Initial Approval Period, the Deposits may be released to Seller at any time, upon Seller’s written request to Seller’s Solicitors.    If Purchaser is unable to obtain the Approvals prior to the end of the Approval Period, Purchaser shall either (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller on or before the end of the Approval Period, whereupon (x) if such termination occurs prior to the expiration of the Initial Approval Period, the Initial Deposit shall be paid to Seller and the Additional Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser (after deducting the Review Fee), or (y) if such termination occurs after the expiration of the Initial Approval Period, all Deposits, including any Extension Deposit, shall be paid to or retained by Seller, as the case may be, and Purchaser shall pay Seller the Review Fee, or (ii) unless Purchaser has failed to obtain the Subdivision Approvals or any necessary HD Property Approvals as provided in Section 8(d) below (in which case the provisions of such Section 8(d) shall apply in respect of the termination of this Agreement), consummate the purchase of the Property as set forth herein. Upon a termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7(c), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller the Confidential Information and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect with Purchaser and Seller having no further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except as otherwise set forth herein.

(d) Restrictive Covenants and Easement Agreement. At Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall enter into a Restrictive Covenants and Easement Agreement (the “RCEA”). The RCEA shall be in form acceptable to Seller, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that if Seller and Purchaser fail to agree on (i) the form of the RCEA, excluding the Remaining RCEA Approval Items (as defined below), on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, or (ii) the Remaining RCEA Approval Items on or before the expiration of the Approval Period, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other party hereto, whereupon (x) if such termination occurs prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period for failure to agree upon the form of the RCEA, the Initial Deposit shall be refunded by Seller’s Solicitors to Purchaser (after deducting the Review Fee), or (y) if such termination occurs during the Approval Period for failure to agree upon the Remaining RCEA Approval Items, then (1) if such termination occurs prior to the expiration of the Initial Approval Period, the Initial Deposit shall be paid to Seller and the Additional Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser (after deducting the Review Fee), or (2) if such termination occurs after the expiration of the Initial Approval Period, all Deposits, including any Extension Deposit, shall be paid to or retained by Seller, as the case may be, and Purchaser shall pay Seller the Review Fee. Upon a termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7(d), Purchaser shall deliver the Confidential Information to Seller and this Agreement shall be deemed null and void and of no further force or effect with Purchaser and Seller having no further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except as otherwise set forth herein. As used herein, “Remaining RCEA Approval Items” shall mean, collectively, the description and depiction of any site specific utility easements based upon the Plans (as defined below) and the final RCEA exhibits.

The RCEA shall provide, inter alia, that Seller shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the maintenance, repair and/or replacement of the access drives on the HD Property; and Purchaser shall be entitled to install signage on the Pylon Sign and shall be granted such access rights over the HD Property (or part thereof) as it may reasonably require to install and maintain such signage.

The RCEA shall include, among other things, the following restrictions and other matters, which will run with the title to the Property and be binding upon the owner and all tenants and occupants of the Property (collectively, the “Restrictions”):

(i) No more than one (1) building or other structure (excluding a dumpster enclosure) shall be located on the Property at any time. No building or other structure shall exceed five (5) storeys and sixty five (65) feet in height (from the building’s approved finished floor elevation, inclusive of parapet walls and other projections), or contain more than one hundred and forty thousand (140,000) square feet in the aggregate.

(ii) No more than one (1) business shall be permitted to operate on the Property at any time. Subject to Section 6(a), the Seller confirms and acknowledges that the Property shall initially be used for the operation of a self-storage facility, it being acknowledged by the Purchaser that Seller makes no representation whether or not the use of the Property as a self-storage facility is permitted under applicable laws.

(iii) Any building or structure on the Property shall, where reasonably possible, orient its main entrance away from the parking areas located on the HD Property.

(iv) No building or other structure shall be permitted within the Property if such building or other structure would reduce the number of parking spaces within the Property to fewer than (i) fifteen (15) parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of improvements (including outdoor dining and seating areas), or the number of parking spaces required under applicable governmental rules, regulations and ordinances without variance, whichever is greater, with respect to any restaurant use, and (ii) five (5) parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of improvements located on the Property, or the number of parking spaces required under applicable governmental rules, regulations and ordinances without variance, whichever is greater, for any other use. If a business on the Property contains a drive-up or drive-thru unit (such as a remote banking teller or a permissible restaurant), then there shall also be created space for stacking not less than ten (10) automobiles (exclusive of any drive aisle) for each drive-up or drive-thru unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Property is used solely for a self-storage facility, the number of parking spaces required on the Property in order to satisfy this paragraph (iv) is the greater of (A) ten (10) parking spaces, (B) the number of parking spaces required under applicable governmental rules, regulations and ordinances without variance, and (c) the number of parking spaces required under the terms of the Existing Restrictions.

(v) No portion of the Property shall be used for a business or use which creates strong, unusual or offensive odors, fumes, dust or vapors; is a public or private nuisance; emits noise or sounds which are objectionable due to intermittence, beat, frequency, shrillness or loudness; or creates unusual fire, explosive or other hazards.

(vi) No portion of the Property may be leased, used or occupied as or for: a non-retail use; flea market or a business selling so called “second hand” goods (the term “second-hand” shall mean stores which sell goods primarily as a service to the public rather than to a retail customer for a profit); skating rink, bowling alley, billiard parlor, game room, video or amusement arcade or other place of amusement or recreation; any restaurant deriving more than twenty percent (20%) of its annual gross sales from the sale of alcohol; bar or tavern (a bar or tavern being defined for purposes of this Agreement as an establishment offering the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises where such sales are not incidental to the sale of food for on-premises consumption in a restaurant otherwise permitted hereunder); night club or discotheque, dance hall, comedy club, night club or adult entertainment facility; theater (including a movie theater), auditorium, sports or other entertainment viewing facility (whether live, film, audio/visual or video); barbeque or gas grill retail store; industrial, manufacturing or warehouse use, distribution center or facility; truck stop; adult bookstore or establishment selling, exhibiting or distributing pornographic or obscene materials; massage parlor; drug treatment or rehabilitation center; so-called “head shop” or any business or facility selling, supplying, dispensing (which shall be deemed to include vending machines or other self-service facilities) or distributing marijuana or products or by-products derived therefrom, whether by prescription, medical recommendation or otherwise; automobile (or other motor vehicle or boat) dealership and/or repair shop (including lubrication and/or service center); body and fender shop; laundromat or dry-cleaning facility (but this shall not be deemed to prohibit an on-site service provided solely for pick-up and delivery by the ultimate consumer); gaming, wagering or betting parlor or facility or equipment of any kind; junk yard; recycling facility or stockyard; tattoo parlor or body piercing establishment; funeral parlor, cemetery, mortuary or any business selling caskets and other funerary products; beauty school, barber college, reading room, place of instruction or any other operation catering primarily to students or trainees and not to customers; office usage other than incidental in connection with non-prohibited uses; residential or hotel uses; any place of religious worship; pawn shop or any business offering cash for gold, silver and other valuables; payday loan or check cashing provider; surplus store; gun range; the sale of guns as a primary use; animal kennel; fitness center, workout facility, gym, health spa or studio; any state, local or federal governmental facility, including, without limitation, department of motor vehicles and military recruiting facilities; any store selling electronic cigarettes or similar devices as its primary business; or any business or space within the Property, including, without limitation, any facilities such as lockers, outposts, pods, dedicated floor or parking spaces or similar drop off/pick up locations or facilities, whose primary purpose is to display goods and merchandise that may be purchased via catalogue or an internet website or other electronic means and/or to fulfill, store, deliver, transfer, convey or otherwise distribute or receive goods and merchandise that have been purchased via catalogue or an internet website or other electronic means. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, and for greater certainty, the Seller confirms and acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall place any restrictions on Purchaser from operating a self-storage business or leasing self-storage units to tenants for any purpose, including the storage and distribution of goods.

(vii) No portion of the Property shall be used in violation of the Existing Restrictions, including, without limitation, any building or use restrictions contained therein.

(viii) No portion of the Property shall be used as a home improvement center or hardware store or for any business which sells, displays, leases, rents or distributes the following items or materials, individually or in any combination: lumber, hardware, tools, roofing materials, plumbing supplies, pool supplies, electrical supplies, paint, wallpaper and other wallcoverings, window treatments (including, without limitation, draperies, curtains and blinds), kitchens or bathrooms or components thereof (including, without limitation, tubs, sinks, faucets, mirrors, cabinets, showers, vanities, countertops and related hardware), doors, windows, hard and soft flooring (including, without limitation, tile, wood flooring, rugs and carpeting), siding, ceiling fans, lawn and gardening and garden nursery supplies, natural plants, equipment (including, without limitation, lawnmowers) and products, outdoor cooking equipment and accessories, patio furniture and patio accessories, Christmas trees (both live and artificial), holiday décor and accessories, home automation systems and smart home devices, indoor and outdoor lighting systems and light fixtures, cabinets, kitchen and other household appliances, cleaning supplies, closet organizing systems, interior design services, automotive parts, products and accessories, or other products generally sold in a retail home improvement center.

(ix) No construction shall be performed on the Property except in compliance with the plans approved by Seller and all laws, rules, regulations, orders and ordinances of applicable governmental authorities, any applicable Existing Restrictions, the RCEA and, if any construction will be performed on the HD Property, the Home Depot Site Specification References for Carve Outs (the “HD Site Specifications”) attached hereto as Exhibit D and made a part hereof. Purchaser shall give Seller at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (the “Work Notice”) of any construction, reconstruction, repair, maintenance or remodeling of any building or other improvements. The Work Notice shall include the name and contact information of the construction manager or other accountable construction person for Purchaser or its general contractor, proposed dates for a pre-construction meeting with Purchaser’s general contractor which representatives of Seller shall have the right to attend (and Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller to agree upon a mutually convenient date and time for such pre-construction meeting if Seller elects to attend), a construction schedule for the work to be performed and a site plan designating an area on the Property to be used as a staging and storage area. For clarity, the pre-construction meeting with Seller (or its designated representative) is mandatory and a condition precedent to any construction on the Property. Any portion of the construction schedule pertaining to work to be performed on the HD Property and the staging and storage area on the Property shall be subject to Seller’s prior written approval. Seller shall have the right to hire an independent contractor or testing company to observe all work to be performed on the HD Property and, in such event, Purchaser shall give such contractor or testing company at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice before performing any such work. During the course of construction, Seller or its independent contractor or testing company shall have the right to conduct tests and inspections of any work performed on the HD Property.

Upon completion of all work to be performed on the HD Property, Purchaser’s construction representatives and contractor and Seller’s representatives shall meet and examine the same and any deficiencies shall be promptly corrected to Seller’s satisfaction at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. All work performed on the HD Property shall again be examined eleven (11) months after completion of construction and any deficiencies shall be promptly corrected to Seller’s satisfaction at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.

(x) All exterior signage on the Property shall be subject to Seller’s prior written approval and shall comply with local codes and ordinances.

(xi) Purchaser will self-maintain and repair the Property.

(e) Survey. Purchaser covenants and agrees that it shall deliver to Seller, prior to the expiry of the Inspection Period, a current reference plan of survey of the Property prepared by a licensed professional surveyor reasonably acceptable to Seller (the “Survey”). Seller and Purchaser agree that: (i) the Survey shall depict the number of acres contained within the boundaries of the Property to the nearest one-thousandth (1/1000th) of an acre, (ii) the Survey shall be certified to Purchaser, Seller and Seller’s Solicitors, (iii) the Property shall be substantially in the location and configuration as shown on Exhibit B-1 hereto, and (iv) the Survey shall contain a legal description of the Property. Within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Survey, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing if the Survey is acceptable to Seller; provided, however, that Seller shall be deemed to have disapproved the Survey if Seller fails to notify Purchaser of its approval or disapproval of the Survey within such fifteen (15) business day period. In the event Seller does not approve the Survey, Purchaser and Seller shall attempt to agree upon the configuration and size of the Property and any other matters objected to by Seller, failing which either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other party hereto prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, whereupon the Initial Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser by Seller’s Solicitors (after deducting the Review Fee), Purchaser shall deliver the Confidential Information to Seller and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect with Purchaser and Seller having no further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except as otherwise set forth herein. If Closing occurs, the legal description attached to the Deed (as defined below) shall be based on the Survey.

8. Seller’s Approval Rights.

(a) Site Plan and Elevations. Purchaser covenants and agrees that it shall deliver to Seller, within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, a preliminary site plan for the Property showing in detail all of Purchaser’s intended improvements, ingress and egress plans, parking configuration, proposed landscaping, locations of all utilities and building footprint of each structure Purchaser intends to construct on the Property (the “Site Plan”), together with (i) the proposed exterior elevations indicating colors and materials of each building or structure Purchaser intends to construct on the Property (the “Elevations”), (ii) the proposed construction and staging areas for the improvements Purchaser intends to construct on the Property, and (iii) the proposed construction access route to the Property. The Site Plan shall be superimposed over the Survey. The Site Plan and Elevations, and any subsequent revisions thereto (the parties

acknowledge that the Site Plan and Elevations may be subject to revision in connection with Purchaser’s efforts to obtain the Approvals), shall be subject to Seller’s approval, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. The Site Plan must in all events conform to the Survey approved by Seller and Purchaser shall provide Seller with such certifications from Purchaser’s engineer and other confirmatory documentation as Seller shall require confirming that the Site Plan conforms to the approved Survey. In the event Seller fails to approve the Site Plan and Elevations, including, without limitation, any subsequent revisions thereto, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party hereto, which termination shall be governed by the provisions of subsection (g) below.

(b) Initial Outlot Feasibility Report. Purchaser covenants and agrees that Purchaser shall retain a site development consultant, at Purchaser’s expense, to complete an Initial Outlot Feasibility Report in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C within ninety (90) days after the expiry of the Inspection Period (including, without limitation, a conceptual site plan and a conceptual utility plan as required by the Initial Outlot Feasibility Report), copies of which shall be promptly delivered to Seller for its approval. If anything revealed by the Initial Outlot Feasibility Report is unacceptable to Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, any matter related to the HD Property, Seller shall have the right to terminate the Agreement by notice to Purchaser given within twenty (20) business days following receipt of the Initial Outlot Feasibility Report, which termination shall be governed by the provisions of subsection (g) below.

(c) Plans. Purchaser covenants and agrees that within ninety (90) days after the expiry of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller for Seller’s review and approval (i) plans and specifications for Purchaser’s intended improvements, including, without limitation, civil drawings (including landscaping, utilities and signage plans), civil site work plans and architectural plans and specifications, and (ii) an estimated construction schedule (collectively, the “Plans”). If any work is to be performed on the HD Property, the Plans for such work shall incorporate the HD Site Specifications. In addition to the foregoing, Purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause to be delivered to Seller a written report (the “Supplemental Report”) which shall, among other things, include an impact analysis with respect to the HD Property, including, without limitation, all utility lines and facilities and other improvements located therein to verify no adverse impacts on the HD Property (including, without limitation, with respect to capacity, function or operation of any of the foregoing). Such impact analysis shall contain all necessary hydrology information and calculations to allow Seller to confirm that any existing detention pond and related storm water sewer improvements and facilities have adequate capacity to accommodate storm water discharge from the Property after the construction of Purchaser’s intended improvements thereon. If any improvements to Seller’s storm water management system (including, without limitation, any existing detention pond) are required as a result of Purchaser’s intended development and use of the Property, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the cost of the same. The Plans and Supplemental Report shall be peer reviewed by a civil engineer and architect designated by Seller. If Seller or its designated civil engineer or architect requests any modifications to the Plans, Purchaser shall either (A) make such modifications and deliver revised Plans to Seller and its designated civil engineer and/or architect, or (B) notify Seller that Purchaser does not wish to incorporate some or all of Seller’s requested modifications to the Plans, whereupon Seller and Purchaser and their

respective civil engineers and architects shall consult with each other to attempt to reach agreement on the Plans. If the parties are unable to reach agreement by the earlier to occur of (x) the thirtieth (30th) day after Purchaser notifies Seller that Purchaser does not wish to incorporate some or all of Seller’s requested modifications, or (y) the Closing Date, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, which termination shall be governed by the provisions of subsection (g) below. Any modifications to the Plans made after Seller’s initial approval thereof shall be subject to Seller’s prior written approval, which approval may be withheld, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any utility placement on the Property is “as is where is” and shall be Purchaser’s responsibility to verify during the Inspection Period.

(d) Subdivision and Other Approvals. Purchaser covenants and agrees as follows: (i) Purchaser shall not make any submittals to governmental or quasi-governmental authorities with respect to Subdivision Approvals or any zoning, land use or other Approvals without first submitting a copy of any proposed submittal and any related documentation to Seller for Seller’s review and prior written approval (the provisions hereof shall apply to initial as well as all subsequent submittals to governmental and quasi-governmental authorities); (ii) Purchaser shall obtain, prior to Closing, any and all Subdivision Approvals for the Property; and (iii) Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, for Seller’s review and prior written approval, copies of all draft conditions of the Approvals prior to final action by the applicable governmental authority, which approval may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. If any Subdivision Approvals, or other Approvals approved by Seller as provided herein require amendments or modifications to any existing permits or approvals affecting the HD Property, Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining the same at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense upon terms and conditions satisfactory to Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion (the “HD Property Approvals”). In the event Purchaser fails to obtain all Subdivision Approvals and any necessary HD Property Approvals prior to Closing upon terms and conditions acceptable to Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, or in the event Seller does not approve or consent to (which approval or consent may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion), any other matter which is subject to Seller’s consent or approval pursuant to this subsection (d), either party at any time shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party hereto, which termination shall be governed by the provisions of subsection (g) below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Subdivision Approvals shall not be deemed obtained for purposes of this Agreement until any survey or other instrument (collectively, the “Required Plat”) required to be executed and registered prior to Seller’s delivery of the Deed hereunder is (1) in final form consistent with the Subdivision Approvals and as approved by Seller, (2) executed by Seller and all applicable governmental authorities, and (3) otherwise in proper recordable form and ready to be registered.

(e) Compliance Letter from Governmental Authorities. Purchaser covenants and agrees that at least ten (10) days prior to Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a letter from all applicable governmental or quasi-governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Property confirming (i) that Purchaser’s proposed development does not violate, or otherwise result in a violation of, any zoning, land use, development laws, codes, ordinances, permits and/or approvals in effect with respect to the HD Property or the improvements thereon, including, without limitation, any conditional or special use permits or approvals related thereto;

(ii) that Purchaser’s proposed development will not cause Seller’s use of, and existing development on the HD Property to become illegal or non-conforming in any respects or impose any additional requirements or obligations on Seller (other than as may be required pursuant to the RCEA. In the event that after using diligent efforts Purchaser cannot obtain the aforesaid letters, Purchaser shall provide a letter addressing such matters from its independent third party planning consultant. In the event such letter form the Purchaser’s planning consultant is not satisfactory to Seller, in its sole an absolute discretion, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser, which termination shall be governed by the provisions of subsection (g) below.

(f) Amendments to Existing Agreements and Other Third Party Consents. Prior to the expiration of the Approval Period, Purchaser shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for obtaining all amendments, approvals, consents or estoppels to or with respect to any Existing Restrictions or other Permitted Encumbrances from third parties that are required as a condition to Purchaser’s acquisition, development or operation of the Property (which for purposes hereof shall specifically include such amendments, approvals and consents that Seller determines are necessary to ensure that Seller and the HD Property shall not violate any Existing Restrictions or other Permitted Encumbrances after the conveyance and development of the Property) (collectively, the “Third Party Approvals”). All Third Party Approvals shall be subject to Seller’s approval in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Purchaser shall not submit any amendments or other materials or documentation to third parties without first obtaining Seller’s prior written approval. The execution and delivery of Third Party Approvals by all necessary parties (other than Seller), including, without limitation, any mortgagees, shall be a condition to Closing. If Seller does not approve any required Third Party Approvals or any Third Party Approvals are not obtained prior to Closing, either party hereto shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, which termination shall be governed by the provisions of subsection (g) below. For greater certainty, but without limitation, the Third Party Approvals shall include a partial surrender (in registrable form) of the Solar Generation Lease Agreement dated as of April 1, 2010 between Seller and Sky Ozz International Inc., as amended and assigned, notice of which is registered as Instrument No. AT2648240 registered March 23, 2011 being a Notice of Lease by MOM Solar Limited Partnership and its general partner, MOM solar GP Inc. (collectively, the “Solar Rooftop Lease”) from the Property by the tenant thereunder, a partial discharge of any leasehold mortgage in respect of the Solar Rooftop Lease from the Property, and such amendments to the Solar Rooftop Lease that Seller determines are necessary to ensure that Seller and the HD Property shall not violate the Solar Rooftop Lease after the conveyance and development of the Property.

(g) Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, Purchaser shall deliver the Confidential Information to Seller, and (i) if such termination occurs prior to the end of the Inspection Period, the Initial Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser (after deducting the Review Fee), (ii) if such termination occurs after the expiration of the Inspection Period but prior to the end of the Initial Approval Period, the Initial Deposit shall be paid to or retained by Seller and the Additional Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser (after deducting the Review Fee), or (iii) if such termination occurs after the expiration of the Initial Approval Period, all Deposits, including any Extension Deposits shall be paid to or retained by Seller, and Purchaser shall pay Seller the Review Fee. Upon a termination pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect with Purchaser and Seller having no further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except as otherwise set forth herein.

(h) Method of Plan Delivery. With respect to any plans, drawings or like submissions required to be made by Purchaser to Seller for Seller’s approval in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees that it will, absent Seller’s consent to the contrary, cause such plans, drawings and submissions to be delivered to Seller by virtue of electronic transmittal of a .pdf file containing the plans, drawings and/or submissions at issue or, if reasonably requested by Seller, by electronic transmittal of CAD files containing such materials. Further, any plans, drawings or other submissions made by Purchaser shall be accompanied by the Surplus Property/Carve Out Review Checklist in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and made a part hereof, completed to reflect the current and all prior submittals.

9. Seller’s Conditions to Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for the benefit of Seller, the Closing shall be expressly conditioned upon the occurrence and/or satisfaction of each of the following conditions (or Seller’s written waiver thereof, it being agreed that Seller may, other than in respect of clause (d) below, waive any, all or none of such conditions at its sole discretion):

15. Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, amended, modified, waived or discharged orally or by any course of dealing, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, amendment, modification, waiver or discharge is sought.

16. Legal Fees. In the event legal action is instituted by any of the parties to enforce the terms of this Agreement or arising out of the execution of this Agreement, each party shall be responsible for its own solicitors’ legal fees and costs, regardless of the outcome of such legal action.

17. Brokers. Purchaser and Seller hereby represent each to the other that, except for CBRE Limited (“Broker”) who has been retained solely by the Seller, they have not discussed this Agreement or the subject matter hereof with, and have not engaged in any fashion or any connection with this transaction the services of, any real estate broker, agent, or salesman, so as to create any legal right in any such broker, agent, or salesman to claim a real estate commission or similar fee with respect to the conveyance of the Property or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. At Closing, Seller shall pay to Broker the commission payable by Seller to Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Broker.

The terms of this Section 17 shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deed and will not be merged therein.

18. Default.

(a) In the event the purchase and sale is not consummated because of the inability, failure or refusal, for whatever reason whatsoever, by Seller to convey the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions provided herein, and such inability, failure or refusal is not cured within ten (10) days following Seller’s receipt of written notice thereof from Purchaser, then Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall be entitled to either (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller, in which event Purchaser shall receive a full refund of the Deposits, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller the Confidential Materials and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such termination, or (ii) seek specific performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder. If Purchaser fails to commence an action for specific performance against Seller within ninety (90) days following the date Purchaser becomes aware of Seller’s default, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived its right to seek specific performance hereunder. Purchaser’s remedies shall be limited to those specifically set forth herein and Purchaser hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights to pursue any other remedy available at law or in equity.

(b) In the event of a default by Purchaser hereunder which is not cured within ten (10) days following Purchaser’s receipt of written notice thereof from Seller, Seller’s Solicitors shall deliver the Deposits to Seller, and Seller shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy (other than with respect to Purchaser’s indemnification obligations hereunder and Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Review Fee as set forth in Section 3 above), to retain the Deposits as full liquidated damages for such default of Purchaser, whereupon Purchaser shall

deliver to Seller the Confidential Information and this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive any such termination. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that Seller’s damages in the event of a default by Purchaser hereunder would be difficult to ascertain and that the Deposits represent a fair estimate of such damages, and is not intended as a penalty.

The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) each party hereto is of equal bargaining strength, (b) each such party has actively participated in the drafting, preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, (c) each such party has consulted with its own independent counsel, and such other professional advisors as it has deemed appropriate, relating to any and all matters contemplated under this Agreement, (d) each such party and its counsel and advisors have reviewed this Agreement, (e) each such party has agreed to enter into this Agreement following such review and the rendering of such advice and (f) any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting parties shall not apply in the interpretation of this Agreement, or any portions hereof, or any amendments hereto.

27. Date for Performance. If the time period by which any right, option or election provided under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required hereunder must be performed, or by which the Closing must be held, expires on a Saturday, Sunday or legal or bank holiday, then such time period shall be automatically extended through the close of business on the next regularly scheduled business day.

28. Date of Agreement. The submission of this Agreement to Purchaser for examination or consideration does not constitute an offer to sell the Property, and this Agreement shall become effective, if at all, only upon the full execution and delivery thereof by Purchaser and Seller. The “Effective Date” of this Agreement shall be the date upon which this Agreement has been executed by both Purchaser and Seller.

29. No Registration. Purchaser may not register this Agreement or any notice or memorandum thereof against title to the Original HD Parcel or any part thereof. Any such registration shall constitute a default by Purchaser hereunder.

30. Subdivision Control. This Agreement shall be effective to create an interest in the Property only if the subdivision control provisions of the Planning Act RSO 1990 are complied with.

31. Closing Arrangements. Closing will occur on the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of the DRA (as hereinafter defined). In the event that the Teraview electronic registration system is operative and a transfer of the Property is capable of being registered electronically,

Seller and Purchaser covenant and agree to cause their respective solicitors to enter into a document registration agreement in the form adopted by the Joint LSUC-CBAO Committee on Electronic Registration of Title Documents on March 29, 2004, or any successor version thereto (the “DRA”) to govern the electronic submission of the transfer for the Property to the applicable Land Registry Office. The DRA shall outline or establish the procedures and timing for completing all registrations electronically and provide for all closing documents and closing funds to be held in escrow pending the submission of the Deed and any other instruments contemplated under this Agreement to the Land Registry Office and their acceptance by virtue of each registration document being assigned a registration number. The DRA shall also provide that if there is a problem with the Teraview electronic registration system which does not allow the parties to electronically register all registration documents on Closing, the Closing Date shall be deemed to be extended until the next day when the said system is accessible and operating for the Land Registry Office applicable to the Property.

32. Tender. Any tender of documents and notices of money hereunder may be made upon Seller or Purchaser or upon the solicitor acting for the party on whom tender is desired. The tender of documents and notices of money hereunder may be made by the solicitor acting for the party tendering (upon appropriate authorization by such party to its solicitor) to the other party and/or the other party’s solicitor. If electronic registration is mandatory in the Land Titles Office in which the Property is registered, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that an effective tender shall be deemed to have been made by either party (the “Tendering Party”) upon the other party (the “Receiving Party”) when the solicitor for the Tendering Party has completed, in addition to all other requirements to effect a valid tender in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the DRA, all steps required by electronic registration in order to complete this transaction that can be performed or undertaken by the Tendering Party’s solicitor without the cooperation or participation of the Receiving Party’s solicitor, and specifically when the Tendering Party’s solicitor has electronically “signed” the Deed and all other instruments to be registered against title to the Property at the time of the Closing for completeness and granted “access” to the Receiving Party’s solicitor.

33. FCPA. The following provisions shall apply to Purchaser to the extent Purchaser, on behalf of Seller, engages in, or engages subcontractors to assist Purchaser.

(a) Purchaser shall comply with all applicable anti-bribery laws of Canada and the Province of Ontario, as well as the applicable and substantive provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 15 USC §78dd-1 et. seq. (“FCPA”), and any amendments thereto.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser, in exercising its rights or rendering services or performing its covenants and obligations hereunder, has not and will not pay, offer, or promise to pay, or authorize the payment, directly or indirectly, through third persons or otherwise, of any monies or anything of value to any “government official” (as defined in the FCPA) in a manner that is prohibited under the FCPA. For clarification, but without limiting the foregoing, prohibited payments include any payments for the purpose of corruptly influencing a decision or action of a foreign governmental official to do or omit to do an act in violation of the lawful duty of such official.

(c) Purchaser shall not offer or make any payment, loan or transfer of value to any director, officer, employee, subcontractor or agent of Seller or of its actual or potential customers or suppliers, or offer to make any payment, loan or transfer of value on behalf of Seller in connection with this Agreement that is prohibited by the FCPA or any other applicable law, including, without limitation any payment, loan or transfer of value which is determined to be a legal violation of laws pertaining to bribery, extortion, kickbacks or other unlawful or improper means of obtaining or retaining business. Purchaser will ensure that no commission or fee is paid by Purchaser to any third party in connection with this Agreement in violation of applicable laws.

(d) All expenses that pertain to the exercise by Purchaser of its rights, or Purchaser rendering services or performing its covenants and obligations hereunder, shall be reported fully and accurately in the books and records of Purchaser in sufficient detail to explain the nature of any expenses and the recipients of those expenses and shall be maintained by Purchaser as required by applicable law.

(e) To confirm compliance with the provisions of this Section, Purchaser shall, upon reasonable request, confirm in writing as to compliance, answer in reasonable detail any questionnaires or other written or oral communications relating thereto from Seller, and make copies of its records related to any payment, loan or transfer of value made to a third party which is directly attributable to the exercise by Purchaser of its rights, or Purchaser rendering services or performing its covenants and obligations hereunder.

(f) In the event that there has been a breach of this Section, Seller may immediately terminate this Agreement without any obligation to provide prior notice, and seek to recover any damages to which Seller may be entitled, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser agrees that Seller shall be under no obligation to reimburse any payment, loan or transfer of value which was made in breach of this Section, nor any other fees or expenses which Purchaser may have incurred in connection with such a payment, loan or transfer of value.

(g) Purchaser agrees that it shall be bound by, and shall use best efforts to ensure that the consultants, contractors and other third parties engaged by Purchaser to assist Purchaser in the exercise by Purchaser of its rights, or rendering services or performance by Purchaser of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement, agree to the covenants, agreements and undertakings set forth in this Section 33.

34. Irrevocability. This Agreement shall be irrevocable by the Purchaser until 4:00 PM on the eighth (^8th) business day following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser, after which time, if not accepted, this offer shall be null and void.
