In furtherance of the foregoing and except with respect to a Go Shop Bidder and as otherwise permitted by this Section 7.3, CCIT II shall, and shall cause each CCIT II Subsidiary and each Representative of CCIT II and the CCIT II Subsidiaries to, immediately cease any discussions, negotiations or communications with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal and shall immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such Person and use reasonable efforts to cause such Person to return or destroy all information concerning CCIT II and the CCIT II Subsidiaries to the extent permitted pursuant to any confidentiality agreement with such Person and promptly terminate all physical and electronic data room access granted to such Person. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Go Shop Period End Time and until the receipt of Stockholder Approval, CCIT II, the CCIT II Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives may continue to take any of the actions described in Section 7.3(a) with respect to any proposals or offers regarding any Acquisition Proposal submitted by a Go Shop Bidder on or before the Go Shop Period End Time or with respect to any amended or modified proposal or offer with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal submitted by a Go Shop Bidder after the Go Shop Period End Time that, in accordance with Section 7.3(d), CCIT II discloses to CMFT (and provides copies to CMFT of) if the CCIT II Special Committee has determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal (as may be amended or modified) is or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal. The Parties acknowledge that (a) CMFT has entered into or intends to enter into merger agreements with each of Cole Credit Property Trust V, Inc. and Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT III), Inc. pursuant to which Cole Credit Property Trust V, Inc. and Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT III), Inc. shall be merged with and into an affiliate of CMFT (the “Other Merger Agreements”) and (b) nothing in this Section 7.3(b) shall be construed to restrict the ability of CCIT II and its directors, officers, Affiliates and Representatives to participate in discussions with Cole Credit Property Trust V, Inc. and Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT III), Inc. and their respective Representatives relating to the Other Merger Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time after the Go Shop Period End Time and prior to the time, but not after, Stockholder Approval is obtained, CCIT II and its Representatives may, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 7.3, (x) contact such Person to clarify the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and (y)(i) provide information in response to a request therefor by the Person who made such written Acquisition Proposal, provided that (A) such information is provided pursuant to (and only pursuant to) one or more Acceptable NDAs, and (B) CCIT II, prior to or concurrently with the time such information is provided, provides such information to CMFT, and (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with the Person who made such written Acquisition Proposal, if and only to the extent that, in each such case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, the CCIT II Special Committee has either determined that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal.

-65-

(d)    From and after the Go Shop Period End Time, CCIT II will promptly (and in any event no later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt thereof) notify CMFT in writing if (i) any Acquisition Proposal is received by CCIT II or any CCIT II Subsidiary, (ii) any request for information relating to CCIT II or any CCIT II Subsidiary is received by CCIT II or any CCIT II Subsidiary from any Person who informs CCIT II or any CCIT II Subsidiary that it is considering making or has made an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated with CCIT II or any CCIT II Subsidiary regarding any Acquisition Proposal, and shall, in any such notice to CMFT, indicate the identity of the Person making, and the material terms and conditions of, such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry (and shall include with such notice (A) copies of any written Acquisition Proposal, including any proposed transaction agreement and any related transaction documents and financing commitments, if any, and (B) a written summary of the material terms of any related Acquisition Proposal not made in writing (including any material terms proposed orally or supplementally)), and thereafter shall promptly (and in any event no later than twenty-four (24) hours after the occurrence of such developments, discussions or negotiations or receipt of materials) (I) keep CMFT reasonably informed of all material developments, discussions and negotiations concerning any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and (II) provide CMFT with any written supplements or written additions to any written Acquisition Proposal, including any revisions to any proposed transaction agreement and any related transaction documents and financing commitments, if any. Neither CCIT II nor any CCIT II Subsidiary will enter into any agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement that prohibits CCIT II from providing any information to CMFT in accordance with this Section 7.3.

(e)    Except as expressly provided in Section 7.3(f), Section 7.3(g) and Section 9.1(c)(ii), neither the CCIT II Board, nor any committee thereof, nor any group of directors, formally or informally, shall: (i) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify or publicly propose or announce or authorize or resolve to, or announce its intention to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in each case in a manner adverse to CMFT, the CCIT II Board Recommendation, (ii) authorize, approve, endorse, declare advisable, adopt or recommend or propose to publicly authorize, approve, endorse, declare advisable, adopt or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) authorize, cause or permit CCIT II or any CCIT II Subsidiary to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement, or (iv) fail to make the CCIT II Board Recommendation or to include the CCIT II Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement (any event described in clause (i), (ii) or this clause (iv), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”).

(f)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.3(f), if CCIT II receives an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not from a Go Shop Bidder), which Acquisition Proposal did not result from a material breach of this Section 7.3 and is not withdrawn, and the CCIT II Special Committee determines that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Superior Proposal or that failure to terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement for such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with the CCIT II directors’ duties or standard of conduct under Maryland Law, then, provided that Stockholder Approval has not yet been obtained, the CCIT II Board (based on the recommendation of the CCIT II Special Committee) may (x) effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or (y) enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement relating to

-66-

or implementing the Superior Proposal and terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1(c)(ii); provided, that, in the case of each of clause (x) and (y), the CCIT II Board may not take action contemplated by this Section 7.3(f) unless:

(i)    CCIT II has notified CMFT in writing that the CCIT II Board intends to take such action at least four (4) Business Days in advance of effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or entering into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the reasons for such action, describe the material terms of the Superior Proposal and attach the most current version of such agreements (including any amendments, supplements or modifications) between CCIT II and the party making such Superior Proposal (a “CCIT II Change Notice”); and

(ii)    during the four (4) Business Day period following CMFT’s receipt of a CCIT II Change Notice, CCIT II shall, and shall direct its outside financial and outside legal advisors to, negotiate in good faith with CMFT (to the extent CMFT wishes to negotiate) to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that the Superior Proposal ceases to constitute (in the good faith determination of the CCIT II Special Committee, after consultation with outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors) a Superior Proposal; provided, that any amendment, supplement or modification to any Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed a new Acquisition Proposal and CCIT II may not enter into any agreement relating to the Superior Proposal pursuant this Section 7.3(f) or make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 7.3(f) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii) unless CCIT II has complied with the requirements of this Section 7.3(f) with respect to such new Acquisition Proposal including sending an additional CCIT II Change Notice (except that the new negotiation period under this Section 7.3(f)(ii) shall be three (3) Business Days instead of four (4) Business Days). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.3(f)(ii), neither CMFT’s acceptance nor rejection of CCIT II’s offer to negotiate pursuant to this Section 7.3(f)(ii) shall have any bearing on CMFT’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(ii) herein.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time after the date of this Agreement and before Stockholder Approval is obtained, the CCIT II Special Committee and the CCIT II Board may, if the CCIT II Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the duties or standard of conduct of the directors under Maryland Law, make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event; provided, that, prior to making such Adverse Recommendation Change, CCIT II shall have complied with clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.3(f).

(h)    Nothing in this Section 7.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent the CCIT II Special Committee, the CCIT II Board or CCIT II, directly or indirectly, from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the CCIT II a position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal as contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any required disclosure to the stockholders of CCIT II under applicable Law, including Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or (iii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of CCIT II if the CCIT II

-67-

Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel (and based on the recommendation of the CCIT II Special Committee) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the duties and standard of conduct of the CCIT II directors under Maryland Law; provided, however, that to the extent any such disclosure addresses the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the CCIT II Special Committee or the CCIT II Board with respect to this Agreement or an Acquisition Proposal, such disclosure shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change if not accompanied by an express public affirmation of the CCIT II Board Recommendation; provided, further, that a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change.

(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of CCIT II, any CCIT II Subsidiary or their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall reimburse or agree to reimburse the fees or expenses of any Person (including any Go Shop Bidder or its Representatives) in connection with an Acquisition Proposal (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with any Acceptable NDA but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with any acquisition agreement or merger with respect to a Superior Proposal entered into pursuant to this Section 7.3 and resulting in termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)).

(j)    CCIT II agrees that in the event any Representative of CCIT II or any CCIT II Subsidiary takes any action that, if taken by CCIT II would constitute a violation of this Section 7.3, and such action was taken at the direction or with the prior consent of the CCIT II Special Committee, then CCIT II shall be deemed to be in violation of this Section 7.3 for all purposes of this Agreement.

(k)    For purposes of this Agreement:

(i)    “Acquisition Proposal” means any bona fide proposal or offer from any Person (other than CMFT or any CMFT Subsidiaries) made after the date of this Agreement, whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions, relating to any (A) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving CCIT II or any CCIT II Subsidiary that would constitute a “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X) representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the consolidated assets of CCIT II, (B) sale or other disposition, by merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or any similar transaction, of any assets of CCIT II or any CCIT II Subsidiaries that are significant subsidiaries representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the consolidated assets of CCIT II, (C) issue, sale or other disposition by CCIT II or any CCIT II Subsidiaries of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, such securities) representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the votes associated with the outstanding shares of CCIT II Common Stock, (D) tender offer or exchange offer in which any Person or “group” (as such term is defined under the Exchange Act) shall acquire beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), or the right to acquire beneficial ownership, of twenty percent (20%) or more of the votes associated with the outstanding shares of CCIT II Common Stock, or

-68-

(E) recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other similar type of transaction with respect to CCIT II in which a third party shall acquire beneficial ownership of twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding shares of CCIT II Common Stock; provided, however, that the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall not include (I) the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (II) any merger, consolidation, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction solely among CCIT II and one or more of the CCIT II Subsidiaries or solely among the CCIT II Subsidiaries.

(ii)    “Intervening Event” means, with respect to CCIT II, a change in circumstances or development that materially affects the business, assets or operations of CCIT II and the CCIT II Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that was not known to or reasonably foreseeable by the CCIT II Board prior to the execution of this Agreement, which change in circumstances or development becomes known to the CCIT II Board prior to Stockholder Approval being obtained; provided, however, that in no event shall the following events, circumstances or changes in circumstances constitute an Intervening Event: (i) the receipt, existence or terms of an Acquisition Proposal or any matter relating thereto or consequence thereof, (ii) any effect arising out of or related to the COVID-19 pandemic or COVID-19 Measures and (iii) any effect arising out of the announcement or pendency of, or any actions required to be taken pursuant to, this Agreement.

(iii)    “Superior Proposal” means a written Acquisition Proposal (except for purposes of this definition, the references in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” to “twenty percent (20%)” shall be replaced with “fifty percent (50%)”) that the CCIT II Board (based on the recommendation of the CCIT II Special Committee) determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, and after taking into account (A) all of the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal and this Agreement (as it may be proposed to be amended by CMFT) and (B) the feasibility and certainty of consummation of such Acquisition Proposal on the terms proposed (taking into account such legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal and conditions to consummation thereof as the CCIT II Special Committee determines in good faith to be material to such analysis)), to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the stockholders of CCIT II (in their capacities as stockholders) than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (as it may be proposed to be amended by CMFT) pursuant to Section 7.3(f)(ii).

Section 7.4     Public Announcements. Except with respect to any Adverse Recommendation Change or any action taken pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 7.1 or Section 7.3, so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements or filings with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and none of the Parties shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement or filing prior to obtaining the other Parties’ consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided, that a Party may, without obtaining the other Parties’ consent, issue such press release or make such public statement or filing as may be required by

-69-

Law if it is not possible to consult with the other Party before doing so. The Parties have agreed upon the form of a joint press release announcing the Merger and the execution of this Agreement, and shall make such joint press release no later than one (1) Business Day following the date on which this Agreement is executed.

-70-

(b)    In connection with and without limiting the foregoing Section 7.5(a), each of the Parties shall give (or shall cause their respective Affiliates to give) any notices to third parties, and each of the Parties shall use, and cause each of their respective Affiliates to use, its reasonable best efforts to obtain any third party consents that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Parties will, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, furnish to the other Parties such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other Parties may request in connection with the preparation of any required applications, notices, registrations and requests as may be required or advisable to be filed with any Governmental Authority and will cooperate in responding to any inquiry from a Governmental Authority, including promptly informing the other Party of such inquiry, consulting in advance before making any presentations or submissions to a Governmental Authority, and supplying each other with copies of all material correspondence, filings or communications between such Party and any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement. CMFT shall have the right to direct all matters with any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement in a manner consistent with its obligations hereunder; provided that, to the extent reasonably practicable, the Parties or their Representatives shall have the right to review in advance and each of the Parties will consult the other Parties on, all the information relating to the other Parties and each of their Affiliates that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that confidential competitively sensitive business information may be redacted from such exchanges. To the extent reasonably practicable, no Party shall, nor shall any Party permit its respective Representatives to, participate independently in any meeting or engage in any substantive conversation with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry without giving the other Parties prior notice of such meeting or conversation and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, without giving the other Parties the opportunity to attend or participate (whether by telephone or in person) in any such meeting with such Governmental Authority.

-71-

(b)    CMFT, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives shall give prompt notice to CCIT II, and CCIT II and its Representatives shall give prompt notice to CMFT and Merger Sub, if (i) any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becomes untrue or inaccurate such that it would be reasonable to expect that the applicable closing conditions would be incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date or (ii) it fails to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the failure by CMFT, Merger Sub, CCIT II or their respective Representatives to provide such prompt notice under this Section 7.6(b) shall not constitute a breach of covenant for purposes of Section 8.2(b), Section 8.3(a), Section 9.1(c)(i), or Section 9.1(d)(i).

(c)    CMFT, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives shall give prompt notice to CCIT II, and CCIT II and its Representatives shall give prompt notice to CMFT and Merger Sub, of any Action commenced or, to such Party’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving such Party or any CMFT Subsidiary or CCIT II Subsidiary, respectively, or any of their respective directors, officers or partners that relates to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.7    Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a)    From the Merger Effective Time until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Merger Effective Time, CMFT shall (and shall cause the Surviving Entity to), to the fullest extent CCIT II would be permitted to do so under applicable Law and the CCIT II Governing Documents, (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless each current and former manager, director, officer, partner, member, trustee, employee and agent of CCIT II or any of the CCIT II Subsidiaries or other individuals with rights to indemnification or exculpation pursuant to the CCIT II Governing Documents or any indemnification agreements of CCIT II or CCIT II Subsidiaries (such agreements, the “Additional Indemnification Agreements”) (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against and from any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any Action to the extent such Action arises out of or pertains to (A) any action

-72-

or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Party’s capacity as a manager, director, officer, partner, member, trustee, employee or agent of CCIT II or any of the CCIT II Subsidiaries (whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Merger Effective Time) or (B) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger (whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Merger Effective Time), and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such Action the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees that are subject to indemnification hereunder), without the requirement of any bond or other security, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Law, but subject to CMFT’s or the Surviving Entity’s receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, CMFT or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, (x) shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any Action against or of any Indemnified Party for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 7.7 without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Action that is subject to indemnification by CMFT and the Surviving Entity under this Section 7.7, (y) shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (z) shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine in a final and non-appealable order that such indemnification is prohibited by applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each of CMFT and the Surviving Entity agree that during the period commencing as of the Merger Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Merger Effective Time, all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Merger Effective Time, and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided in the CCIT II Governing Documents and Additional Indemnification Agreements shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(b)    Prior to the Merger Effective Time, CMFT shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, obtain and fully pay the premium for “tail” insurance policies for the extension of (or the substantial equivalent of) the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies of CCIT II for a claims reporting or discovery period of six (6) years from and after the Merger Effective Time, on prepaid and non-cancellable terms, for an aggregate cost not in excess of three times the current annual premiums for such insurance. CMFT and the Surviving Entity shall not take any action to terminate or modify the terms of the extended reporting period coverage.

(c)    For a period of six (6) years following the Merger Effective Time, the organizational documents of CMFT and any applicable CMFT Subsidiary shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto existing in favor of any Indemnified Party than those included in the CCIT II Governing Documents or any similar organizational documents or agreements of any CMFT Subsidiary. No such provision shall be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years following the Merger

-73-

Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Merger Effective Time, were Indemnified Parties, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law and then only to the minimum extent required by applicable Law.

(d)    If CMFT or the Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation, partnership or other entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) liquidates, dissolves or winds-up, or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of CMFT or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.7.

(e)    The provisions of this Section 7.7 are intended to be for the express benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her personal representatives, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of CMFT, CCIT II and the Surviving Entity and shall not be amended in a manner that is adverse to the Indemnified Party (including his or her successors, assigns and heirs) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (including such successors, assigns and heirs) affected thereby. The exculpation and indemnification provided for by this Section 7.7 shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to applicable Law, Contract or otherwise. CMFT shall cause the Surviving Entity to pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the obligations provided in this Section 7.7.

Section 7.8    Dividends.

(a)    In the event that a distribution with respect to the shares of CCIT II Common Stock permitted under the terms of this Agreement has a record date prior to the Merger Effective Time and has not been paid prior to the Closing Date, such distribution shall be paid to the holders of such shares of CCIT II Common Stock on the Closing Date immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time. In the event that a distribution with respect to the shares of CMFT Common Stock permitted under the terms of this Agreement has a record date prior to the Merger Effective Time and has not been paid prior to the Closing Date, such distribution shall be paid to the holders of such shares of CMFT Common Stock on the Closing Date immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time.

Further, if one Party to this Agreement (the “Termination Payor”) fails to timely pay any amount due to the other Party (the “Termination Payee”) pursuant to Section 9.3(b) and, in order to obtain the payment, the Termination Payee commences an Action that results in a judgment against the Termination Payor for the payment set forth in this Section 9.3, the Termination Payor shall pay to the Termination Payee its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Action, together with interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment.

(f)    If the Termination Payor becomes obligated to pay a fee under this Section 9.3, then, if requested by the Termination Payee, the Termination Payor shall deposit into escrow an amount in cash equal to the applicable Termination Payment with an escrow agent selected by the Termination Payee, after reasonable consultation with the Termination Payor, and pursuant to a written escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) reflecting the terms set forth in this Section 9.3(f) and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Termination Payor and the escrow agent. The payment or deposit into escrow of the applicable Termination Payment shall be made by CCIT II in accordance with the timing set forth in Section 9.3(c) or, at the Termination Payee’s reasonable request, promptly after receipt of notice from the Termination Payee that the Escrow Agreement has been executed by the parties thereto. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that the Termination Payment in escrow or the applicable portion thereof shall be released to the Termination Payee on an annual basis based upon the delivery by the Termination Payee to the escrow agent of any one (or a combination) of the following:

(i)    a letter from the Termination Payee’s independent certified public accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to the Termination Payee without causing the Termination Payee to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code for the applicable taxable year of the Termination Payee determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income described in Sections 856(c)(2)(A)-(I) or 856(c)(3)(A)-(I) of the Code (such income, “Qualifying REIT Income”), in which case the escrow agent shall release to the Termination Payee such maximum amount stated in the accountant’s letter;

(ii)    a letter from the Termination Payee’s counsel indicating that the Termination Payee received a private letter ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by the Termination Payee of the applicable Termination Payment would either constitute Qualifying REIT Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, in which case the escrow agent shall release to the Termination Payee the remainder of the applicable Termination Payment; or

(iii)    a letter from the Termination Payee’s counsel indicating that the Termination Payee has received a tax opinion from the Termination Payee’s outside counsel or accountant, respectively, to the effect that the receipt by the Termination

-85-

Payee of the applicable Termination Payment should either constitute Qualifying REIT Income or should be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Section 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, in which case the escrow agent shall release to the Termination Payee the remainder of the applicable Termination Payment.

If the Termination Payee is CCIT II, the Escrow Agreement shall further provide that, at the end of the third calendar year beginning after the date on which the Termination Payor’s obligation to pay the Termination Payment arose (or earlier if directed by the Termination Payee), any remaining amount then being held in escrow by the escrow agent shall be disbursed to the Termination Payor and, in the event the Termination Payment has not by then been paid in full, such unpaid portion shall never be due. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to amend this Section 9.3(f) at the reasonable request of the Termination Payee in order to (A) maximize the portion of the applicable Termination Payment that may be distributed to the Termination Payee hereunder without causing the Termination Payee to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, (B) improve the Termination Payee’s chances of securing the favorable private letter ruling from the IRS described in this Section 9.3(f) or (C) assist the Termination Payee in obtaining the favorable tax opinion from its outside counsel or accountant described in this Section 9.3(f). The Escrow Agreement shall provide that the Termination Payee shall bear all costs and expenses under the Escrow Agreement. The Termination Payor shall not be a party to the Escrow Agreement and shall not bear any liability, cost or expense resulting directly or indirectly from the Escrow Agreement (other than any Taxes imposed on the Termination Payor in connection therewith).

Section 10.5    Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the Exhibit, Schedules, the CMFT Disclosure Letter and the CCIT II Disclosure Letter) and the Confidentiality Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and (b) except for the provisions of Section 7.7 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance), which, from and after the Merger Effective Time, shall be for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties hereto any rights or remedies. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties in accordance with Section 10.6 without notice or liability to any other Person.

(b)    All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Maryland state or federal court. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such Maryland state or federal court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party, (ii) agrees not to commence any such Action except in such courts, (iii) agrees that any claim in respect of any Action may be heard and determined in any such Maryland state or federal court, (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Action, (v) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such dispute and (vi) agrees, with respect to any Action filed in a Maryland state court, to jointly request an assignment to the Maryland Business and Technology Case Management Program. Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such dispute shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.2. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

Section 10.8    Assignment. Except as may be required to satisfy the obligations contemplated by Section 7.7 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance), neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 10.8 shall be null and void.

Section 10.9    Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that, prior to the effective time of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 9, each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at Law or in equity. In the event that any Action should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law. To the extent any Party brings an Action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than an Action to specifically enforce any provision that survives termination of this Agreement) when expressly available to such Party pursuant to the terms of

-89-

this Agreement, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended to (a) the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the resolution of such Action, or (b) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.

Section 10.10    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY and UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY INSTRUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY (a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER AND THAT IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (c) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.10.

Section 10.11    Authorship. The Parties agree that the terms and language of this Agreement are the result of negotiations between the Parties and their respective advisors and, as a result, there shall be no presumption that any ambiguities in this Agreement shall be resolved against any Party. Any controversy over construction of this Agreement shall be decided without regard to events of authorship or negotiation.
