INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS EXPERIENCED CORPORATE TENANT Southern States is a Richmond, Virginia-based farm supply and service cooperative, established in 1923, which now has more than 200,000 farmer members.

The cooperative serves its members and non-member customers through 1,200 retail outlets in 23 states. 8.58 ACRE LOT LARGE BUILDING As seen in the site plan, the 20,000 square foot building sits on 8.58 acres of land, increasing the investor s residual value.

MARKET OVERVIEW CHARLOTTE, NC 10

MARKET OVERVIEW CHARLOTTE, NC Over 7.1 million people live within a 100-mile radius of Charlotte, with Charlotte being the largest city within the region. As a result, Charlotte has become a financial, distribution, and transportation center for the entire region. Although the metropolitan area itself has a large population base and has experienced strong and diversified growth since the 1970s, it has the potential for further growth that has attracted favorable local and national attention. As Charlotte increasingly fulfills its regional role, it will continue to be one of the most attractive investment areas in the southeastern United States. TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE Charlotte is served by a highly efficient state and federal highway network, including major north-south and east-west interstate arteries, and by a modern international airport terminal. Interstates 77 and 85, which intersect in Charlotte, are integral to the distribution and manufacturing industries. Charlotte s third interstate highway is I-485, a 63-mile circumferential highway that was completed in 2015. The Charlotte Douglas International Airport is the nation s 6th busiest airport and the 11th busiest in the world in terms of total passengers with over 38 million passengers boarded annually. The Charlotte region is also the center of the nation s largest consolidated rail system. Two major rail systems, CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Railway, link 44,800 miles of rail between Charlotte and 23 states east of the Mississippi River. Over 275 trucking firms located in the region provide ground transportation. MAJOR EMPLOYERS Charlotte s largest employers represent a variety of industry sectors, including banking and finance, healthcare, government services, retail, transportation, manufacturing, and telecommunications. The city is home to many corporate headquarters, including Duke Energy, Nucor, Sonic Automotive, SPX, Family Dollar, and Goodrich. Lowe s Home Improvement is also headquartered in the region. Charlotte ranks fifth in the nation in the number of Fortune 500 headquartered companies and is home to operations for 311 Fortune 500 companies. BLUE LINE EXTENSION Currently, the Blue Line is 9.6 miles long and operates from I-485 at South Blvd to uptown Charlotte. The rail service will extend from 9th St in Center City to the UNC Charlotte campus. The line will pass through North Davidson (NoDa) and University City. The extension will provide an additional choice of mobility for the north commuters and further connect Charlotte s economic activity centers (Center Business District and University City). The $1.2B project is expected to open service in 2017 and will bring new business and continue to attract development along its length. REPUBLIC SERVICES TO OPEN CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER February 2016- Republic Services will open a full-service customer service center in Charlotte, creating more than 350 new jobs and investing $6.8 million over the next three years. Currently headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Republic Services is an industry leader in the domestic non-hazardous solid waste industry, as well as a Fortune 500 company, publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: RSG). The company has leased 82,375 square feet at 10815 David Taylor Drive. RED VENTURES TO ADD 500 NEW JOBS IN MECKLENBURG COUNTY December 2015- Red Ventures will expand its Mecklenburg County operations by adding 500 new jobs over the next five years. This announcement will bring the company s employment in Charlotte to more than 1,000 workers. The additional workforce will result in a payroll impact of nearly $24.5 million annually. The company will lease space in Cambridge Corporate Center at 10101 Claude Freeman Drive in the University Research Park to accommodate its growth. It will invest more than $5 million in building improvements and equipment at the new location. COCA-COLA BOTTLING ANNOUNCES NEW CUSTOMER CARE CENTER November 2015- Charlotte-based Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated announced the opening of a new Customer Care Center on West W.T. Harris Boulevard in north Charlotte. The facility will handle all of the company s customer business-to-business sales and customer service calls, emails and fax inquiries. Coke Consolidated currently employs 183 people at the facility. The company expects to have a total of 300 employees at the new facility and is investing $8.1 million in the operation. 11

Neither BCA, the Seller, nor any of their respective officers, employees or agents, has made or does make any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of this package or any of its contents, and no legal commitments or obligations shall arise by reason of this package or its contents. BCA and the Seller expressly reserve the right, at their sole discretion, to alter or amend the terms of this offering, to reject any or all expressions of interest or offers to acquire the subject property and/or to terminate discussions with any entity at any time with or without notice.

Parties seeking to act in a third-party brokerage capacity must register their client(s) with BCA prior to receiving or dispersing any marketing information. BCA will not recognize any third-party brokerage relationships without first receiving and approving such written client registration, nor will BCA or the Seller be obligated for any brokerage claims which may result, regardless of such broker s involvement in procuring a purchaser for the subject property.

The information contained within this package and the offering of the subject property may not be announced, posted or otherwise publicized in any electronic media (such as, by way of example only, any Internet or broadcast facsimile communications).

Likewise, if the terms contained in this Confidentiality & Disclaimer section are not acceptable to you, please immediately return this package to BCA. The terms and conditions stated in this Confidentiality & Disclaimer section apply and relate to all of the sections of this package as if stated independently therein. Prospective purchasers of the subject property are hereby notified that Berkeley Capital Advisors, and its agents, are acting in the capacity of a Seller s Agent during the course of this offering, and as such are solely representing the interests of the Seller. DESCRIPTION OF AGENT DUTIES AND RELATIONSHIPS Before you begin working with any real estate agent, you should know who the agent represents in the transaction. Every listing agreement, buyer agency agreement or other agreement for brokerage services in a real estate sales transaction in North Carolina must contain this Description of Agent Duties and Relationships [N.C. Real Estate Commission Rule 21 NCAC 58A.0104(c), eff. 7/1/95]. Real estate agents should carefully review this information with you prior to entering into any agency agreement. AGENT S DUTIES When you contract with a real estate firm to act as your agent in a real estate transaction, the agent must help you obtain the best price and terms possible, whether you are the buyer or seller. The agent also owes you the duty to: Safeguard and account for any money handled for you Act with reasonable skill, care and diligence Be loyal and follow reasonable and lawful instructions Disclose to you any information which might influence your decision to buy or sell Even if the agent does not represent you, the agent must still be fair and honest and disclose to you all material facts which the agent knows or reasonably should know. A fact is material if it relates to defects or other conditions affecting the property, or if it may influence your decision to buy or sell. This does not require a seller s agent to disclose to the buyer the minimum amount the seller will accept, nor does it require a buyer s agent to disclose to the seller the maximum price the buyer will pay. AGENTS WORKING WITH SELLERS A seller can enter into a listing agreement with a real estate firm authorizing the firm and its agent(s) to represent the seller in finding a buyer for his property. The listing agreement should state what the seller will pay the listing firm for its services, and it may require the seller to pay the firm no matter who finds the buyer. The listing firm may belong to a listing service to expose the seller s property to other agents who are members of the service. Some of those agents may be working with buyers as buyers agents; others will be working with buyers but still representing the sellers interests as an agent or subagent. When the buyer s agents and seller s subagents desire to share in the commission the seller pays to the listing firm, the listing agent may share the commission with the seller s permission. AGENTS WORKING WITH BUYERS A buyer may contract with an agent or firm to represent him (as a buyer s agent), or may work with an agent or firm that represents the seller (as a seller s agent or subagent). All parties in the transaction should find out at the beginning who the agent working with the buyer represents. If a buyer wants a buyer s agent to represent him in purchasing a property, the buyer should enter into a buyer agency agreement with the agent. The buyer agency agreement should state how the buyer s agent will be paid. Unless some other arrangement is made which is satisfactory to the parties, the buyer s agent will be paid by the buyer. Many buyer agency agreements will also obligate the buyer to pay the buyer s agent no matter who finds the property that the buyer purchases. A buyer may decide to work with a firm that is acting as agent for the seller (a seller s agent or subagent). If a buyer does not enter into a buyer agency agreement with the firm that shows him properties, that firm and its agents will show the buyer properties as an agent or subagent working on the seller s behalf. Such a firm represents the seller (not the buyer) and must disclose that fact to the buyer. 14
