CB RICHARD ELLIS   |   MASTER AGREEMENT FOR COLE REAL ESTATE INCOME TRUST, INC.
MASTER AGREEMENT
     
MASTER AGREEMENT
   
 
   
Engaging Party:
  Cole Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“Cole” or the “REIT”)
 
   
Service Provider:
  CB Richard Ellis, Inc. (“CBRE”) Valuation and Advisory Services (“VAS”)
 
   
Purpose:
  CBRE will estimate the market value of properties and real estate related debt that may be acquired or incurred by Cole or any subsidiary of Cole from time to time, as more fully described in Addendum B.
 
   
Premise:
  The premise of each appraisal will be identified by Cole.
 
   
Rights Appraised:
  The property rights to be appraised (i.e. fee simple, leased fee or leasehold) will be identified by Cole.
 
   
Notes Valued:
  Mortgage notes receivable to be valued will be identified by Cole.
 
   
Reporting:
  CBRE will initially complete an appraisal presented in a self-contained narrative report (“Initial Appraisal”) either in the course of Cole’s acquisition of a portfolio property or for the first required reporting period following Cole’s acquisition (where CBRE did not provide an appraisal in the course of Cole’s acquisition). Additionally, Cole may request that CBRE conduct an “Initial Appraisal” of real estate related liabilities when incurred or assumed by Cole. In such case, the “Initial Appraisal” bid will reflect and incorporate the appraisal of real estate related liabilities.
 
   
 
  Subsequently, CBRE will provide an appraisal presented in a restricted narrative report (“Update Appraisal”) for each property and real estate related debt on an ongoing basis. The first “Update Appraisal” will be delivered in the first quarter following the first complete quarter after the “Initial Appraisal”, In addition, CBRE or Cole will request an “Update Appraisal" if there is a material change known to the requesting party.
 
   
Intended Use:
  The Intended Use of the “Initial Appraisal” and the “Update Appraisal” is to estimate the market value of the property, asset, or liability for use by Cole’s fund accountant to assist in the calculation of the daily Net Asset Value (NAV) per share of Cole.

CB RICHARD ELLIS   |   MASTER AGREEMENT FOR COLE REAL ESTATE INCOME TRUST, INC.   PAGE 2
MASTER AGREEMENT
     
Intended User:
  The Intended Users of the appraisals are Cole; the REIT’s Advisor; the REIT’s fund accountant; as well as its auditors, intermediaries and investors.
 
   
Scope of Work:
  Refer to Addendum B for procedural detail with respect to Scope of Work as well as for a description of how material changes to properties will be monitored. A dedicated hand selected valuation team will be assembled. Their scope of work for each assignment will include the following steps:
 
   
 
  Extent to Which the Property is Identified
 
   
 
 
     CBRE will collect the relevant physical characteristics about the subject via physical identification and an inspection of both the interior and exterior of the subject property.
 
   
 
 
     The property will be further legally identified physically through its postal address, assessor’s records, the provided legal description and the provided title report.
 
   
 
 
     Economic characteristics of the subject will be identified via an analysis of leases and/or lease briefs between the lessor and lessee, recent rent roll and historical operating statements.
 
   
 
  Extent to Which the Property is Inspected
 
   
 
 
     A CBRE appraiser who is a designated member of the Appraisal Institute (MAI) will conduct a physical inspection of both the interior and exterior of the subject property, as well as its surrounding environs on the effective date of appraisal as part of the course of the “Initial Appraisal”.
 
   
 
 
     Subsequently, once within the course of the three years following acquisition, CBRE will conduct a physical inspection (“Re-inspection”) of the subject property. An inspection form will be completed by CBRE and delivered via iChannel. The dates of re-inspection will be at CBRE’s discretion.
 
   
 
  Type and Extent of the Data Researched
 
   
 
 
     CBRE will physically inspect the micro and macro market environments with respect to physical and economic factors relevant to the valuation process.
 
   
 
 
     This knowledge will be expanded through interviews with regional and local market participants, available published data and other various resources.
(CBRE LOGO)

 


 

     
CB RICHARD ELLIS   |   MASTER AGREEMENT FOR COLE REAL ESTATE INCOME TRUST, INC.   PAGE 3
MASTER AGREEMENT
     
 
 
     CBRE will also conduct regional and local research with respect to applicable tax data, zoning requirements, flood zone status, demographics, income and expense data, and comparable listing, sale and rental information.
 
   
 
  Type and Extent of Analysis Applied
 
   
 
 
     For the “Initial Appraisal”, CBRE will analyze the data gathered through the use of appropriate and accepted appraisal methodology to arrive at a probable value indication via each approach to value. All approaches to value will be considered and utilized, including the Cost Approach, Sales Comparison Approach, and Income Capitalization Approach. Within the Income Capitalization Approach to value, both a direct capitalization and discounted cash flow will be completed. The discounted cash flow analysis will be completed utilizing the Argus cash flow program. Additionally an estimate of Land Value, Replacement Cost, and Insurable Value will be provided. For single tenant properties, ago dark valuation will also be provided. CBRE will then correlate and reconcile the results into a reasonable and defensible value conclusion, and estimate a reasonable exposure time and marketing time associated with the value estimate presented.
 
   
 
 
     For the “Update Appraisal”, CBRE will analyze the data gathered through the use of appropriate and accepted appraisal methodology to arrive at a probable value indication. The Income Capitalization Approach to value is anticipated to be the primary approach to value unless this approach is not deemed reasonable by CBRE. Primary emphasis will be considered for the discounted cash flow analysis, unless this approach is otherwise deemed to be inappropriate. CBRE will then correlate and reconcile the results into a reasonable and defensible value conclusion, and estimate a reasonable exposure time and marketing time associated with the value estimate presented.
 
   
 
 
     For the valuation of real estate debt, CBRE will estimate the market value of real estate related debt by using industry accepted methodologies specific to each type of liability. Typically, mortgage loans collateralized by real estate will be valued by comparing the differences between the contractual loan terms and current market loan terms.

      This comparison would generally involve the present value of the remaining contractual payments and maturity amount at a market based interest rate. The market interest rate would reflect the risks associated with the loan, such as loan-to-value ratio, remaining loan term, the quality of the underlying collateral or other security, and credit risk, among other factors.
 
   
 
  Reporting
 
   
 
 
     For the “Initial Appraisal”, CBRE will complete a Self-Contained Appraisal Report including the following:
 
   
 
 
      i. state the identity of the client and any intended users, by name or type;
 
 
 
      ii. state the intended use of the appraisal;

      iv. state the property interest appraised;
 
 
 
      v. state the type and definition of value and cite the source of the definition;
 
 
 
      vi. state the effective date of the appraisal and the date of the report;
 
 
 
      vii. describe the scope of work used to develop the appraisal;
 
 
 
      viii. describe the information analyzed, the appraisal methods and techniques employed, and the reasoning that supports the analyses, opinions, and conclusions.
 
 
 
      ix. state the use of the property, existing as of the date of value and the use of the real estate reflected in the appraisal; and, when an opinion of the highest and best use was developed by the appraiser, describe the support and rationale for that opinion;
 
 
 
      x. clearly and conspicuously state all extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions; and that their use might have affected the assignment results; and
 
 
 
      xi. include a signed certification in accordance with Standards Rule 2-3.
 
   
 
 
     For the “Update Appraisal”, CBRE will complete a Restricted Use Appraisal Report including the following:
 
   
 
 
      i. state the identity of the client by name or type;

Part of the dedicated Cole valuation team will be comprised of individuals from the Financial Reporting Group within CBRE. These individuals are highly experienced in mortgage valuations and have completed one off and quarterly valuation assignments for REITS, private firms, public companies as well as major property funds.
 
   
Timing:
  Appraisals will be provided in accordance with the following schedule:
 
   
 
 
     “Initial Appraisal”, draft due from CBRE according to the terms outlined within the signed “Task Order Authorization Form”.
 
   
 
     The first “Update Appraisal” will be provided no later than 10 days prior to the end of the first quarter following the

      first complete quarter after the acquisition appraisal is delivered (e.g., for a property acquired in February and provided an “initial Appraisal” in February, the first “Update Appraisal” will be delivered no later than 10 days prior to September 30). The subsequent “Update Appraisals” will be delivered 10 days prior to the end of the following quarters (December 31st, March 31st, June 30th and September 30th).

Due Diligence Material:
  CBRE will provide Cole with access to CBRE’s iChannel to deliver standard due diligence material requested to complete each appraisal assignment. iChannel is a secure, web-based document management site, available on a 24-hour basis. The CBRE VAS Technology director will work with Cole to provide instruction and to customize access that is appropriate for Cole personnel to provide due diligence material.
 
   
Assignment Tracking
  CBRE will utilize JobCenter, a proprietary web based assignment management software. This software will allow CBRE to manage the initial and quarterly valuations of the entire portfolio to ensure timely delivery and accurate invoicing.

The CBRE VAS Technology director will work with Cole to customize access that is appropriate for Cole to provide restricted delivery of appraisal reports to the REIT’s fund accountant.
 
   
 
  Additionally, CBRE will provide a master spreadsheet updated with the most recent valuation conclusions as well as the assumptions utilized in the valuation. CBRE will work with the REIT’s fund accountant to create a streamlined delivery process of the property values.
