Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate Asset Management Fee payable to the Advisor in any three-month period pursuant to this Paragraph 8(a) shall not exceed 0.25% of the average Net Asset Value during such three-month period, calculated based on Net Asset Value as of the last day of each preceding month during the three-month period (the “Asset Management Fee Ceiling”). To the extent the sum of the three previous monthly asset management fee payments exceeds the Asset Management Fee Ceiling (such amount the “Ceiling Excess”), each next succeeding monthly payment of the Asset Management Fee will be reduced, with the amount by which the Asset Management Fee is reduced to be applied against the Ceiling Excess until the Ceiling Excess is eliminated. In no event, however, will the Advisor be required to make a cash payment on account of any Ceiling Excess.

(b)Acquisition Fees. The Advisor shall receive, as compensation for services rendered in connection with the investigation, selection and acquisition (by purchase, investment or exchange) of Properties, Acquisition Fees in an amount equal to 1% of the amount actually paid for the purchase of such Property, inclusive of any debt incurred for the purchase of such Property, but exclusive of Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with such acquisition. With respect to the acquisition of a Property through any Joint Venture, the Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor shall equal the product of (x) the Company's percentage equity interest in the Joint Venture and (y) 1% of the amount actually paid by the Joint Venture for the purchase of such Property, inclusive of any debt incurred for the purchase of such Property, but exclusive of Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with such acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of Acquisition Fees payable to the Advisor for the term of this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 8(b) shall not exceed the Acquisition Fee Limit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of Acquisition Fees by the Company shall also be subject to the limitation provided for in Section 8.7 of the Articles of Incorporation. The Acquisition Fee Limit shall be an amount equal to $1,500,000 less all Acquisition Fees payable to Advisor for Properties acquired during 2012 pursuant to the provisions of the Initial Term Advisory Agreement, the April Advisory Agreement or any predecessor advisory agreement or otherwise. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for the purchase of a Property for which an Acquisition Fee is otherwise payable hereunder and any due diligence period in such agreement has expired prior to the termination of this Agreement, but the closing of such purchase occurs after the termination of this Agreement and prior to December 31, 2013, then the Advisor shall be entitled to receive such Acquisition Fee subject to the Acquisition Fee Limit and the other conditions hereof.

(c)Disposition Fee. If the Advisor or an Affiliate provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by the Conflicts Committee) in connection with the Sale of one or more Properties, the Advisor or such Affiliate shall receive at closing a Disposition Fee equal to the lesser of (i) the broker fee actually paid to a third party broker in connection with the sale of such Property or Properties or (ii) 0.30% of the sales price of such Property or Properties; provided, however, that no Disposition Fee shall be payable to the Advisor for Property Sales if such Sales involve the Company selling all or substantially all of its Properties in one or more transactions designed to effectuate a business combination transaction or Bulk Liquidation of the Company (as opposed to a Company liquidation not constituting a Bulk Liquidation, in which case the Disposition Fee would be payable if the Advisor or an Affiliate provides a substantial amount of services as provided above). Any Disposition Fee payable under this section may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total real estate commissions (including such Disposition Fee) paid to all Persons by the Company for each Property shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6.0% of the aggregate Contract Sales Price of each Property, or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission for each Property.

(d)Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds. The Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds shall be payable to the Advisor in an amount equal to 10% of Net Sales Proceeds remaining after the Stockholders have received Distributions equal to the sum of (i) the Stockholders' 8% Return, and (ii) 100% of Invested Capital plus Distributions attributable to Net Sales Proceeds. Following Listing, no Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds will be paid to the Advisor.

(e)Subordinated Incentive Fee. Upon Listing, the Advisor shall be entitled to the Subordinated Incentive Fee in an amount equal to 10.0% of the amount by which (i) the market value of the outstanding stock of the Company, measured by taking the average closing price or average of bid and asked price, as the case may be, over a period of 30 days during which the Shares are traded, with such period beginning 180 days after Listing (the “Market Value”), plus the total of all Distributions paid to Stockholders from the Company's inception until the date that Market Value is determined, exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) 100% of Invested Capital plus Distributions attributable to Net Sales Proceeds, and (B) the total Distributions required to be paid to the Stockholders in order to pay the Stockholders' 8% Return from inception through the date Market Value is determined. The Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, Shares, a promissory note to be negotiated in light of then-existing market conditions or any combination of the foregoing. The Subordinated Incentive Fee will be reduced by the amount of any prior payment to the Advisor of a Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds. In the event the Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid to the Advisor following Listing, no other performance fee or Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds, including the Subordinated Performance Fee Due Upon Termination, will be paid to the Advisor.

(f)Changes to Fee Structure. In the event of Listing, the Company and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee structure appropriate for a perpetual-life entity.

(g)Fee Credit. Within 15 days of the end of each month in which this Agreement is in effect, the Advisor shall credit an amount of $166,667 against all earned but unpaid fees owed to the Advisor under this Agreement, which amount represents a reduction in the monthly fees earned by the Advisor pursuant to this Paragraph 8 during the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is in effect for less than a full month, the amount credited to the Company shall be prorated to account for the percentage of the month in which this Agreement was in effect.

9.Expenses.

(a)Reimbursable Expenses. In addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Paragraph 8 hereof, the Company shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor for all of the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor (to the extent not reimbursable by another party, such as the dealer manager) in connection with the services it provides to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

(i)the Organization and Offering Expenses; provided, however, that within 60 days after the end of the month in which an Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company to the extent (i) Capped O&O Expenses borne by the Company exceed 2.0% of the Gross Proceeds raised in a completed offering and (ii) Organization and Offering Expenses borne by the Company exceed 15% of the Gross Proceeds raised in a completed Offering;

(ii)Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses payable to unaffiliated Persons incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of Properties;

(iii)the actual cost of goods and services used by the Company and obtained from entities not affiliated with the Advisor;

(iv)interest and other costs for borrowed money, including discounts, points and other similar fees;

(v)taxes and assessments on income or Property and taxes as an expense of doing business;

(vi)costs associated with insurance required in connection with the business of the Company or by the Board;

(vii)all expenses in connection with payments to the Board and meetings of the Board;

(viii)expenses associated with Listing or with the issuance and distribution of securities other than the Shares, such as selling commissions and fees, advertising expenses, taxes, legal and accounting fees, listing and registration fees;

(ix)expenses of organizing, redomesticating, merging, liquidating or dissolving the Company or of amending the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws;

(x)expenses of preparing the annual report and proxy statements and other reports required by governmental entities;

(xi)administrative service expenses, including all costs and expenses incurred by Advisor in fulfilling its duties hereunder, such as reasonable wages and salaries (but excluding bonuses) and other employee-related expenses of all employees of Advisor or its Affiliates to the extent engaged in the management, administration, operations, and marketing of the Company, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating to such employees, and legal, travel and other out-of-pocket expenses that are directly related to their services provided hereunder; and

(xii)audit, accounting and legal fees.

No reimbursement shall be made for costs of personnel of the Advisor or its Affiliates to the extent that such personnel perform services in connection with services for which the Advisor receives the Acquisition Fee or the Disposition Fee.

(b)Other Services. Should the Board request that the Advisor or any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company other than set forth in Paragraph 3, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and the Conflicts Committee, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c)Timing of and Limitations on Reimbursements.

(i)Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and payable pursuant to this Paragraph 9 shall be reimbursed no less than monthly to the Advisor. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company during each quarter, and shall deliver such statement to the Company within 45 days after the end of each quarter.

(ii)The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter Operating Expenses that, in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”), exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year unless the Conflicts Committee determines that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which the Conflicts Committee deems sufficient. If the

Conflicts Committee does not approve such excess as being so justified, any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company. If the Conflicts Committee determines such excess was justified, then within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which total reimbursed Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, the Advisor, at the direction of the Conflicts Committee, shall send to the stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of the factors the Conflicts Committee considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified. The Company will ensure that such determination will be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors. All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

(iii)The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates for Portfolio G&A Expenses or Personnel Expenses incurred during the term of this Agreement if such reimbursement would cause total reimbursements during the term of this Agreement to exceed $18,167,000 for Portfolio G&A Expenses or $10,000,000 for Personnel Expenses; provided that these caps assume a term of 12 months and shall be prorated as necessary to the extent the term of this Agreement is less than 12 months; provided further that these caps shall not be applicable for unbudgeted expenses deemed by the Conflicts Committee to be justified.

(d)Occupancy Costs. The Company shall reimburse the Advisor for occupancy costs at a fixed amount of $21,000 per month. Notwithstanding Paragraph 9(c)(i) above, this amount shall be paid to the Advisor on the first business day of each month in which this agreement is in effect. No other amounts related to the Company's occupancy of space at 6200 The Corners Parkway in Norcross Georgia, such as tenant improvement costs, operating expenses, or common area maintenance, shall be due.

10.Fidelity Bond. The Advisor shall maintain a fidelity bond for the benefit of the Company which bond shall insure the Company from losses of up to $10,000,000 and shall be of the type customarily purchased by entities performing services similar to those provided to the Company by the Advisor.

11.Other Activities of the Advisor.

(a)General. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, employee, or stockholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein. The Advisor shall report to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor's obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association.

(b)Policy with Respect to Allocation of Investment Opportunities. Before the Advisor presents an investment opportunity that would in its judgment be suitable for the Company to another Advisor-sponsored program, the Advisor shall determine in its sole discretion that the investment opportunity is more suitable for such other program than for the Company based on factors such as the following: the investment objectives and criteria of each program; the cash requirements and anticipated cash flow of each program; the size of the investment opportunity; the effect of the acquisition on diversification of each program's investments by type of commercial property,

geographic area and tenant base; the estimated income tax effects of the purchase on each entity; the policies of each program relating to leverage; the funds of each entity available for investment and the length of time such funds have been available for investment; the size of the investment; the credit quality of the tenants; and the existence of special factors, such as whether the property is adjacent to another property owned by a program. In the event that an investment opportunity becomes available that is, in the sole discretion of the Advisor, equally suitable for both the Company and another Advisor-sponsored program, then the Advisor may offer the other program the investment opportunity if it has had the longest period of time elapse since it was offered an investment opportunity. The Advisor will use its reasonable efforts to fairly allocate investment opportunities in accordance with such allocation method and will promptly disclose any material deviation from such policy or the establishment of a new policy, which shall be allowed provided (1) the Board is provided with notice of such policy at least 60 days prior to such policy becoming effective and (2) such policy provides for the reasonable allocation of investment opportunities among such programs. The Advisor shall provide the Conflicts Committee with any information reasonably requested so that the Conflicts Committee can ensure that the allocation of investment opportunities is applied fairly. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Advisor or an Affiliate from pursuing an investment opportunity directly rather than offering it to the Company or another Advisor-sponsored program so long as the Advisor is fulfilling its obligation to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company which is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company.

12.Relationship of Advisor and Company. The Company and the Advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.

13.Representations and Warranties.

Advisor warrants that it will use reasonable care to avoid any act or omission that would conflict with the terms of the foregoing in the absence of the express direction of the Conflicts Committee.

(iv)The Advisor will maintain the resources necessary to ensure the proper performance of the services to be provided under this Agreement.

14.Term; Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2013, and continue in force through December 31, 2013. This Agreement may be continued for an unlimited number of successive one-year renewals (with caps and limits stated in this Agreement to be adjusted as appropriate) upon mutual consent of the parties. The Company, acting through the Board, will evaluate the performance of the Advisor annually before renewing the Agreement, and each such renewal shall be for a term of no more than one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the exercise of the WREAS II Assignment Option (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement).

This Agreement may be terminated upon 60 days written notice without cause or penalty, by either party (by majority of the Conflicts Committee or a majority of the Board of Directors of the Advisor, as the case may be). The provisions of Paragraphs 1, 6, 7, and 17 through 30 survive termination of this Agreement.

16.Assignment to an Affiliate. This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate with the approval of a majority of the Conflicts Committee. The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and

obligations of the Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound by this Agreement.

17.Payments to and Duties of Advisor upon Termination. Payments to the Advisor pursuant to this Paragraph 17 shall be subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent applicable.

(i)all unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Advisor prior to termination of this Agreement; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to this Paragraph 18 for any activity which the Advisor shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the Company pursuant to Paragraph 19. Any indemnification of the Indemnitees may be made only out of the net assets of the Company and not from Stockholders.

19.Indemnification by Advisor. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses including attorneys' fees, to the extent that such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Advisor's bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, misconduct, or reckless disregard of its duties.

20.Notices. Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of giving such notice, report or other communication

is required by the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, or accepted by the party to whom it is given, and shall be given by being delivered by hand or by overnight mail or other overnight delivery service to the addresses set forth herein:

Either party may at any time give notice in writing to the other party of a change in its address for the purposes of this Paragraph 20.

21.Modification. This Agreement shall not be changed, modified, terminated, or discharged, in whole or in part, except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto, or their respective successors or assignees.

22.Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and severable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.

23.Construction. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

24.Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof. This Agreement may not be modified or amended other than by an agreement in writing.

25.Indulgences, Not Waivers. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

26.Gender. Words used herein regardless of the number and gender specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, as the context requires.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when the counterparts hereof, taken together, bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories.

29.Name. Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. has a proprietary interest in the name “Wells.” Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain Wells Real Estate Advisory Services II, LLC or an Affiliate thereof to perform the services of Advisor, the Company will, promptly after receipt of written request from Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc., cease to conduct business under or use the name “Wells” or any derivative thereof and the Company shall use its best efforts to change the name of the Company to a name that does not contain the name “Wells” or any other word or words that might, in the sole discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any Affiliate thereof. Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having “Wells” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by the Company or its Board.

30.Parent Guarantee. Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc., a Georgia corporation and the parent company of the Advisor (the “Guarantor”), does hereby in all respects guarantee the due and proper performance of the services to be provided and the full and timely payment of the amounts payable under this Agreement by the Advisor, which guarantee shall extend to include any renewal or amendment to this Agreement, provided Guarantor's obligations are not materially increased by such renewal or amendment without the Guarantor's consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. If the Advisor fails to perform all or any of its obligations, duties, undertakings, and covenants to provide services or make payments (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”) under this Agreement (unless relieved from the performance of any part of this Agreement by statute, by the decision of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction or by written waiver of the Company), upon written notice from the Company, the Guarantor shall perform or cause to be performed such Guaranteed Obligations. The termination of the Advisor shall constitute a termination of this guarantee with respect to the future performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, but no termination of Advisor shall terminate or limit the obligations of the Guarantor under this guarantee arising or accruing prior to such termination of the Advisor. This guarantee will be applicable to and binding upon the successors and assigns of Guarantor. Guarantor joins in this Agreement as a signatory hereto for the purposes set forth in this Paragraph 30.

[Signatures appear on next page.]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Renewal Advisory Agreement as of the 28th day of December, 2012.
