Section 1.3             Effect of the Merger.  At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificates of Merger and applicable law.

Section 1.4             Organizational Documents.  At the Effective Time, the declaration of trust of the Company and the bylaws of the Company, each as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the declaration of trust and the bylaws, respectively, of the Surviving Entity until thereafter amended as provided therein or in accordance with applicable law.

Section 1.5             Conversion of Eola Capital Interests.

(a)           At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the parties to this Agreement, the membership interests in Eola Office (the “Eola Membership Interests”) shall be converted automatically into the right to receive the number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares as determined in accordance with Exhibit C (the “Merger Consideration”).   Each holder of Eola Membership Interests shall be entitled to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration equal to such holder’s Allocable Share of the Merger Consideration.  The Common Shares to be received as Merger Consideration by each holder of Eola Membership Interests shall be evidenced by, at the Company’s election, either certificates representing such shares (“Share Certificates”) or by book-entry of uncertificated shares recorded in the Company’s share ledger.  The parties shall take such additional actions and execute such additional documentation as may be required by the relevant organizational documents and/or Articles of Amendment and Restatement of Declaration of Trust of the Company, or as reasonably requested by the Company in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)           Each certificate evidencing Common Shares, if any, issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, unless registered in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws, shall bear the following legend:

The securities evidenced hereby have not been registered under the Act, or the securities laws of any state and may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the absence of such registration, unless, except in limited circumstances, the transferor delivers to the company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the company, to the effect that the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition may be effected without registration under the Act and under applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.

In addition to the foregoing legend, each certificate representing Common Shares shall also bear a legend which generally provides the following:

The Shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on Beneficial Ownership, Constructive Ownership and Transfer.  Subject to certain further restrictions and except as expressly provided in the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, (i) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Common Shares of the Trust in excess of 9.8% (in value or number of Shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding Common Shares of the Trust; (ii) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Preferred Shares of the Trust in excess of 9.8% (in value or number of Shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the total outstanding Preferred Shares of the Trust of such class or series (iii) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares of the Trust that would result in the Trust being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a REIT; (iv) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares of the Trust that would result in the Trust owning (directly or indirectly) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Trust (either directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships or limited liability companies) from such tenant for the taxable year of the Trust during which such determination is being made would reasonably be expected to equal or exceed the lesser of (a) one percent (1%) of the Trust’s gross income (as determined for purposes of Section 856(c) of the Code), or (b) an amount that would cause the Trust to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code; and (v) no Person may Transfer Shares of the Trust if such Transfer would result in Shares of the Trust being owned by fewer than 100 Persons (as determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code). Any Person who Beneficially Owns or Constructively Owns, Transfers or attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares of the Trust which causes or will cause a Person to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares of the Trust in excess or in violation of the above limitations must immediately notify the Trust.  If certain of the restrictions on Transfer or ownership above are violated, the Shares of the Trust represented hereby will be automatically Transferred to a Charitable Trustee of a Charitable Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. In addition, the Trust may take other actions, including redeeming Shares upon the terms and conditions specified by the Board of Trustees in its sole and absolute discretion if the Board of Trustees determines that ownership or a Transfer or other event may violate the restrictions described above. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions described above may be void ab initio.  A Person who attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in violation of the ownership limitations described above shall have no claim, cause of action or any recourse whatsoever against a transferor of such Shares.  All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Declaration of Trust of the Trust, as the same may be amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on Transfer and ownership, will be furnished to each holder of Shares of the Trust on request and

without charge. Requests for such a copy may be directed to the Secretary of the Trust at its Principal Office.

EXHIBIT B
TO
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

MERGER CONSIDERATION

The Merger Consideration to be received by all of the holders of the Eola Membership Interests in exchange for all such Eola Membership Interests shall be determined by reference to the following formula (the “Total Merger Consideration”):

Total Merger Consideration = Specified Interest x AEV

Where:

AEV = TV – TA – AAA

TV = Total Value

TA = Total Adjustments

AAA = Additional Adjustment Amount

The “Merger Consideration” to be received by each holder of Eola Membership Interests in exchange for such Eola Membership Interests pursuant to Section 1.5 of the Agreement shall be the number of Common Shares determined as follows:

Merger Consideration = [Total Merger Consideration x EMI] / IPO Price

Where:

EMI = the percentage of Eola Membership Interests held by such holder, as set forth on Schedule 2.4 of the Agreement

No fractional Common Shares shall be issued in connection with the Merger.  All fractional Common Shares that any holder of Eola Membership Interests would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the Merger shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of Common Shares.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit B shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.

Additional Defined Terms:

“Acquisition Costs” means the aggregate acquisition costs for all new properties acquired by the Partnership or the Company at the IPO Closing, including the purchase price thereof and the amount of any assumed Indebtedness in connection therewith.  “Acquisition Costs” shall be calculated without duplication of amounts.

“Equity Plan” means the Eola Property Trust 2010 Equity Incentive Plan.

“Existing Indebtedness” means all outstanding Indebtedness relating to the properties or assets to be contributed directly or indirectly to the Operating Partnership, the Company, or any of their subsidiaries as part of the IPO, determined as of the Effective Date (including, without limitation, the Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of consolidated and unconsolidated joint venture Indebtedness); provided, however, that in the event that on or prior to the Effective Date the borrower and the lender with respect to any Indebtedness have agreed in writing to a reduced principal or payoff amount, then such reduced principal or payoff amount shall be taken into account when determining the “Existing Indebtedness” as of the Effective Date with respect to such Indebtedness.

“Formation Transaction Participants” shall mean the Persons who are parties to the Other Formation Transactions and who are entitled to receive cash, Common Shares or OP Units in the Other Formation Transactions other than in such Person’s capacity as a lender with respect to Existing Indebtedness.

“Incentive Equity” shall mean the product of (i) the aggregate number of Common Shares actually awarded to employees and directors of the Company under the Equity Plan as of the date of the IPO Closing, whether vested or unvested; times (ii) the IPO Price.

“Indebtedness” means, as to any person, any indebtedness, whether or not contingent, secured, senior, mezzanine or subordinated, (i) in respect of borrowed money (including, without limitation, permanent indebtedness, construction indebtedness, bridge financing, secured debt, mortgage debt, lines of credit and indebtedness secured by pledges of equity interests), (ii) evidenced by bonds, notes, debentures or similar instruments, or (iii) representing capital lease obligations.

“Other Formation Transaction Consideration” shall mean the aggregate dollar value of (i) the cash, (ii) the Common Shares and (iii) the OP Units that is paid or that are issued or issuable to all Formation Transaction Participants in the Other Formation Transactions at the IPO Closing.  For purposes of this Exhibit C, the “Other Formation Transaction Consideration” shall be calculated before giving effect to the Additional Adjustment Amount.

[(a)     [                  ] is a disregarded entity within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) and [                      ] is wholly owned by the Transferor.]

(b)      The Transferor is not a foreign person, foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as such terms are defined in the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder).

(c)       The Transferor is a corporation for federal income tax purposes and is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii).

Re:          Proposed Public Offering by Eola Property Trust

Dear Sirs:

The undersigned, a shareholder of Eola Property Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), and/or a holder of units of partnership interest (“OP Units”) in Eola Property Trust, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) as of the closing of the Public Offering (as defined below), understands that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇”), Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Securities, LLC (“▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo,” and together with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and Barclays, the “Representatives”) propose to enter into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Company and the Operating Partnership, providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) of common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Shares”), of the Company.  In recognition of the benefit that the Public Offering would confer upon the undersigned as a shareholder of the Company and/or as a holder of OP Units, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with each underwriter to be named in the Purchase Agreement that, during a period of 180 days (the “Lock-Up Period”) from the date of the Purchase Agreement, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or lend or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with Common Shares (including OP Units), whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of the Lock-Up Securities, or file, or cause to be filed, any registration statement in connection therewith, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction

Exhibit E-1

that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Representatives, provided that (1) the Representatives receive a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up Period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) such transfers are not required to be reported with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 4 in accordance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and (4) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers:

1.                                       if the undersigned is a trustee or executive officer of the Company, pursuant to the establishment by the undersigned of a written trading plan designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act, provided that (x) no filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the establishment of such written trading plan (including, without limitation, via a current report on Form 8-K) shall be required in connection with such establishment and the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing, or make any public announcement, with respect to such establishment until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period and (y) no sales or other dispositions may occur under such plans until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period; or

2.                                       as a bona fide gift or gifts; or

3.                                       to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); or

4.                                       as a distribution to limited partners or stockholders of the undersigned; or

5.                                       to the undersigned’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned.

Furthermore, the undersigned or its affiliates may engage in transactions relating to Common Shares of the Company acquired by the undersigned, or with respect to which the undersigned otherwise acquired the power of disposition, on the open market following the Public Offering if and only if (i) such sales are not required to be reported in any public report or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or otherwise, and (ii) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such sales.

In addition, the restrictions in the first paragraph hereof shall not apply to pledges of the undersigned’s Common Shares and/or OP Units to the Company and/or the Operating Partnership pursuant to any pledge arrangements relating to the undersigned’s indemnification obligations under the applicable contribution agreement and dispositions or transfers in connection with the operation of such pledge arrangements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if:

Exhibit E-2

(1)           during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or

(2)           prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results or becomes aware that material news or a material event will occur during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period,

the restrictions imposed by this lock-up agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless the Representatives waive, in writing, such extension.

The undersigned agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this lock-up agreement during the period from the date of the Purchase Agreement to and including the 34th day following the expiration of the initial Lock-Up Period, it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period (as may have been extended pursuant to the previous paragraph) has expired.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

If for any reason the contribution agreement pursuant to which the undersigned acquires Common Shares or OP Units, or the Purchase Agreement (once executed), shall be terminated prior to the closing of the Public Offering, this lock-up agreement shall likewise be terminated.
