(4)Purchaser acknowledges that, by the Closing Date, Purchaser will have had sufficient opportunity to inspect the Property fully and completely at its expense in order to ascertain to its satisfaction the extent to which the Property complies with applicable zoning, building, environmental, health and safety and all other laws, codes and regulations.
(5)Purchaser represents that neither Purchaser nor any of its affiliates, nor any of their respective partners, members, shareholders or other equity owners, and none of their respective employees, officers, directors, representatives or agents is, nor will they become, a person or entity with whom United States persons or entities are restricted from doing business under regulations of OFAC of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and is not and will not engage in any dealings or transactions or be otherwise associated with such persons or entities. The foregoing representations shall survive Closing and any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary, Purchaser shall have no duty to investigate or confirm that any shareholders of Gladstone Land Corporation or unit holders of Gladstone Land Limited Partnership are in compliance with the provisions of this Section 11(b)(v), and any violation by any such shareholders or unit holders shall not be a breach or default by Seller hereunder.
The representations and warranties made in Section 11(b) of this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months. Written notification of any claim must be received by Purchaser within six (6) months of the Closing Date or such claim shall be forever barred and Purchaser shall have no liability with respect thereto. In addition, upon Purchaser’s receipt of written notification of any such claim, Purchaser shall first be afforded at least thirty (30) days to cure any breach of Purchaser’s representations and warranties prior to Seller’s filing any claim in connection therewith. The aggregate liability of Purchaser for breach of any representations and warranties shall not exceed one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price; and recovery of actual damages up to that amount is Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy for any such breach; provided, however, Purchaser shall have no liability to Seller for matters disclosed by Purchaser or discovered by Seller

MIA 185428746v5




prior to Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, breaches of any representation or warranty hereunder arising as a result of the fraud of Purchaser shall not be subject to (i) the six (6) month survival limit but shall continue to survive thereafter or (ii) the one percent (1%) cap above. The provisions of this Subparagraph shall survive the Closing.
12.Broker and Broker’s Commission. Purchaser and Seller each represent and warrant to the other that such party has not incurred an obligation to any broker or agent in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby. Purchaser Parties hereby covenant and agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and Seller hereby covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Parties against and from any and all loss, expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees), liability, cost, claim, demand, damage, action, cause of action and suit arising out of or in any manner relating to the alleged employment or use by such party of any real estate broker or agent in connection with this transaction.

In connection with any such surveys or inspections, Purchaser and Purchaser’s agents shall (i) maintain the insurance coverages provided for in Section 5(c) and (ii) provide Seller insurance certificates establishing such coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser is prohibited from conducting any phase II environmental site assessments without obtaining Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that if Purchaser’s phase I environmental site assessment requires or recommends that a phase II environmental site assessment should be conducted, and Seller declines permission to conduct a phase II environmental site assessment or other supplemental environmental testing and Purchaser terminates this Agreement then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in addition to a refund of the Earnest Money to Purchaser, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all Pursuit Costs within three (3) business days after such termination. Purchaser Parties hereby agree to indemnify, defend and to hold Seller, Seller’s agents and employees and the Property harmless from and against any all losses, costs, damages, claims or liabilities including, but not limited to, mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with Purchaser’s access to or entry upon the Property under this Section 13, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller (but not the existence of any condition discovered in the course of Purchaser’s inspections and testing). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the Closing and any cancellation or termination of this Agreement.
14.Eminent Domain. If, after the Effective Date and prior to Closing, Seller shall receive notice of the commencement or threatened commencement of eminent domain or other like proceedings against the Property or any portion thereof, Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser in writing, and Purchaser shall elect within thirty (30) days from and after such notice, by written notice to Seller, one of the following: (a) not to close the transaction contemplated hereby, in which event all Earnest Money shall be refunded to Purchaser and this Agreement shall be void and of no further force and effect; or (b) to close the purchase of the Property contemplated hereby in accordance with its terms but subject to such proceedings, in which event the Purchase Price shall remain the same and Seller shall transfer and assign to Purchaser at Closing all condemnation proceeds and rights to additional condemnation proceeds, if any. If Purchaser elects to purchase after receipt of such a notice, all actions taken by Seller with regard to such eminent domain proceedings, including but not limited to, negotiations, litigation, settlement, appraisals and appeals, shall be subject to the approval of Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Purchaser

MIA 185428746v5




does not make such election within the aforesaid time period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to close the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with clause (b) above.
15.Property Damage. If, after the Effective Date and prior to Closing, Seller learns or becomes aware of damage to the Property (or any Improvements or Irrigation Equipment) as the result of fire or other casualty, Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser in writing.
16.Condition of Property. Subsequent to the Effective Date and prior to Closing, Seller shall use and maintain the Property in accordance with its past practices and ordinary maintenance, but shall not be required to provide any extraordinary maintenance nor any capital expenditures.
17.Operations. After the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall neither enter into any new, nor terminate, modify, extend, amend or renew any existing, lease or service, management, maintenance, repair, employment, union, construction, leasing or other contract or agreement affecting the Property (each, a “New Agreement”) without providing at least five (5) business days prior notice (and opportunity to review and approve the New Agreement) to Purchaser. Purchaser shall have five (5) business days after Purchaser’s actual receipt (notwithstanding the notice provisions in Section 18 below) of a true, correct and complete copy of a New Agreement to approve the same. If Purchaser does not approve any such New Agreement that Seller will enter into prior to expiration of the Inspection Period, then Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy will be to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller no later than five (5) business days after receiving the New Agreement, and in such event Purchaser shall receive a full refund of the Earnest Money. If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement as set forth in the preceding sentence, it shall be deemed to have approved the New Agreement that Seller will enter into prior to expiration of the Inspection Period in the form provided. Seller may not enter into a New Agreement after expiration of the Inspection Period unless Purchaser has approved the same in writing.
18.Notice. Notices provided for in this Agreement must be (i) delivered personally, (ii) sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (iii) sent via a reputable express courier, (iv) sent by facsimile during normal business hours with a confirmation copy delivered by another method permitted by this Section 18 other than electronic mail, or (v) sent by electronic mail during normal business hours with a confirmation copy delivered by another method permitted by this Section 18 other than facsimile, addressed as set forth below.

Notice sent by a reputable express carrier is deemed received on the day receipted for by the express carrier or its agent. Notice sent via facsimile is deemed delivered upon the transmission to the phone number designated as the recipient’s facsimile phone number above. Notice sent via electronic mail is deemed delivered upon the entrance of such electronic mail into the information processing system designated by the recipient’s electronic mail address set forth above. The addresses of the parties to which notices are to be sent shall be Purchaser’s Address or Seller’s Address, as applicable, as set forth in Section 1 above. Any party shall have the right from time to time to change the address to which notices to it shall be sent to another address, and to specify two additional addresses to which copies of notices to it shall be mailed, by giving to the other party at least ten (10) days prior notice of the changed address or additional addresses.
19.Remedies. If this transaction fails to close by reason of Purchaser’s wrongful failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be retained by Seller as liquidated damages the parties hereby acknowledging that Seller’s actual damages in such circumstances would be difficult, if not impossible, to determine. Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that retention of the Earnest Money as provided for herein shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of Purchaser’s wrongful failure to perform its obligations hereunder. If this transaction fails to close for any reason other than Purchaser’s wrongful failure to perform his obligations hereunder, including without limitation the failure of any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations herein, the Earnest Money shall promptly be refunded to Purchaser. If

MIA 185428746v5




this transaction fails to close by reason of Seller’s wrongful failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for Seller’s breach shall be either to (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent and receive a full refund of the Earnest Money by the party in possession thereof and reimbursement from Seller of Purchaser’s Pursuit Costs, all within three (3) business days after Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement, or (ii) obtain specific performance of this Agreement. Seller waives the right to assert the defense of the lack of mutuality in any suit for specific performance instituted by Purchaser. In the event of any litigation between the parties under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs at all trial and appellate levels. The provisions of this Section 19 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement coextensively with other surviving provisions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder to Gladstone or an entity wholly owned by Gladstone, provided that (i) Purchaser gives Seller at least five (5) days prior written notice and (ii) the assignee executes an agreement whereby the assignee assumes the rights and obligations of Purchaser

MIA 185428746v5




hereunder. Upon the occurrence of such an assignment, Purchaser shall be released from any further liability arising from and after the date of such assignment.

The provisions of this Agreement relating to tax prorations after Closing, Purchaser Parties’ indemnification with respect to its entering upon the Property prior to Closing, the “as-is” waiver and releases in Section 5, Seller’s and Purchaser’s representations and warranties in Section 11 subject to the limitations set forth therein, Seller’s agreement to cooperate with a Rule 3-14 audit, the mutual covenants of Seller and Purchaser Parties to indemnify each other, as the case may be, as set forth in Section 12, the remedies of Section 19 and the confidentiality provisions of Section 33 shall not merge into the Deeds but instead shall survive any Closing pursuant to this Agreement. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence or as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no other provision of this Agreement shall survive the Closing of this transaction.
28.Tax Deferred Exchange. Either party may structure the purchase or sale of the Property as a like kind exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031, at such party’s sole cost and expense. The non-exchanging party shall reasonably cooperate therein, provided that the non-exchanging party shall incur no material costs, expenses or liabilities in connection with the any such exchange and the non-exchanging party shall not be required to take title to or contract for purchase or sale of any other property. If the exchanging party uses a qualified intermediary to effectuate the exchange, any assignment of the rights or obligations of the exchanging party hereunder shall not relieve, release or absolve the exchanging party of its obligations to the non-exchanging party hereunder. The exchanging party shall reimburse the non-exchanging party for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any, incurred by the non-exchanging party in effectuating any such exchange.
29.Non-Solicitation. From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall not market the Property for sale, or solicit or accept any back-up offers with respect to the sale of the Property.

31.Calculation of Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks in the location where the Property is located, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. Unless otherwise specified, the last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m. local time in the state in which the Property is located.
32.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, any or all of which may contain signatures of fewer than all of the parties, and delivered by email or facsimile transmission, all of which shall be taken together as a single instrument.
33.Confidentiality. Unless Seller specifically and expressly otherwise agrees in writing, Purchaser agrees that (a) the results of all inspections, analyses, studies and similar reports relating to the Property prepared by or for Purchaser utilizing any information acquired in whole or in part through the exercise of Purchaser’s inspection rights; and (b) all information (the “Proprietary Information”) regarding the Property of whatsoever nature made available to Purchaser by Seller or Seller’s agents or representatives is confidential and shall not be disclosed to any other person except those assisting Purchaser with the transaction, or Purchaser’s lender, if any, and then only upon Purchaser making such persons aware of the confidentiality restriction (in which event Purchaser shall be responsible for such person’s breach of such

MIA 185428746v5




confidentiality restrictions, as if such breach were committed by Purchaser) except where disclosure is required by a court of competent jurisdiction or other similar requirement of a governmental agency or by law. Purchaser agrees not to use or allow to be used any such information for any purpose other than to determine whether to proceed with the contemplated purchase, or if Closing is consummated, in connection with the operation of the Property post-Closing. Further, if the purchase and sale contemplated hereby fails to close for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser agrees to return to Seller, or cause to be returned to Seller, all Proprietary Information. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 33 shall survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
34.Right of First Refusal. As a material inducement for Seller to enter into and consummate this transaction, at Closing, Seller shall reserve and Purchaser shall be deemed to have granted Seller a right of first refusal (“ROFR”) in accordance with the terms of this Section 34. Following Closing, in the event that (i) Purchaser decides to offer to sell all or any portion of the Property or Purchaser’s interest therein (“Offer to Sell”) or (ii) Purchaser receives from a third party a bona fide offer to purchase all or any portion of the Property or Purchaser’s interest therein that Purchaser desires to accept (“Third Party Offer”), Purchaser shall promptly send Seller a notice of such Offer to Sell or Third Party Offer (containing all material terms thereof). In the event that Purchaser transmits an Offer to Sell, Seller shall have the right, within thirty (30) days following the receipt of the Offer to Sell to enter into a contract with Purchaser to purchase Purchaser’s interest in the Property (or portion thereof) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Sell. In the event that Purchaser transmits a Third Party Offer, Seller shall have the right, within thirty (30) days following the receipt of the Third Party Offer, to enter into a contract with Purchaser to purchase Purchaser’s interest in the Property (or portion thereof) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Offer. Any decision by Seller not to exercise its ROFR rights with respect to any Offer to Sell or Third Party Offer shall not preclude Seller from exercising such rights with respect to a future Offer to Sell or Third Party Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, in the event Seller fails to exercise its ROFR rights under this Section 34, and Purchaser consummates the transaction contemplated in the Offer to Sell or Third Party Offer, Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that Seller shall have no further ROFR rights with respect to the portion of or interest in the Property conveyed thereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the ROFR rights under this Section 34 shall not apply to any foreclosure sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure sale by the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Property or to a condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceeding. In addition, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the ROFR and all related rights of Seller shall expire automatically and be of no further force and effect upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. In the event that the Lease expires or is terminated as to only a portion of the Property, the ROFR shall expire automatically and be of no further force and effect as such portion. The provisions of this Section 34 shall expressly survive the Closing.
35.Threshold Sales. In the event Purchaser receives a written Third Party Offer to purchase the Property or any portion thereof for a purchase price that is equal to or greater than $18,730.00 per acre that Purchaser intends to accept (“Threshold Offer”) then the following provisions shall control:
a)Purchaser shall comply with its obligations set forth in Section 34 and Seller, at Seller’s option, may exercise its ROFR in accordance with Section 34. In the event Seller elects to exercise its ROFR with respect to a Threshold Offer, the purchase price Seller shall pay at closing will be the amount of such Threshold Offer, less an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Profit (as hereinafter defined).
b)In the event Seller elects not to exercise its ROFR with respect to a Threshold Offer then upon such closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller fifty percent (50%) of the Profit from the closing proceeds.

MIA 185428746v5




c)Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, (i) Purchaser shall only be permitted to sell portions of the Property a maximum of five (5) times during the entirety of the Lease Term or any extension thereof, (ii) the portions of the Property that are sold must be conveyed in a contiguous fashion and (iii) Purchaser must begin with a sale of the northern portion of the Property and then proceed to sell the southern portion of the Property. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser is prohibited from selling any portion of the southern portion of the Property until it sells the northern portion of the Property.
d)For the purposes of this Section 35, “Profit” shall mean the Threshold Offer gross purchase price, minus the Agreed Value of the Property (or applicable Portion thereof), minus the amount of any Landlord Capital Expenditures made with respect to the portion of the Property being sold, and minus any reasonable and customary third party out of pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by Purchaser directly in connection with the sale of the Property. (i.e. Threshold Offer purchase price - Agreed Value - Landlord Capital Expenditures - costs/expenses = Profit). Notwithstanding the foregoing, when calculating Landlord Capital Expenditures for the purpose of determining Profit, the amount of the capital expenditure shall be divided by the total amount of acres on the Property (as determined by the survey) and then multiplied by the total amount of acres being sold. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall only be entitled to reduce from the Profit a proportionate amount of the particular capital expenditure attributable to the acreage being sold.
e)The provisions of this Section 35 shall expressly survive the Closing or any future termination of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rights of Seller with respect to the ROFR (and Purchasers obligation to provide the ROFR to Seller) shall be limited to the term of the Lease, as more particularly set forth in Section 34 above and shall expire automatically upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease as provided above.
36.Memorandum. The parties agree to record at Closing, in the Public Records of Martin County, a Memorandum (“Memorandum”) evidencing the ROFR and Seller’s profit participation rights provided for in Sections 34 and 35 respectively, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, Seller and Seller’s title company. Purchaser shall obtain the consent and written joinder to the Memorandum of any and all holders of mortgages that will encumber Property at Closing.
