prior to the expiration of the First Extension (if Buyer has elected to extend for the First Extension) for one period
of 60 days (the "Second Extension") beginning on the first day after the expiration of the First Extension by (a)
giving notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the First Extension and (b) paying to the Escrow Agent the sum of
$5,000.00, which shall be non-refundable to Buyer (except for a default by Seller or the failure of a condition

C. If any of Buyer's environmental studies reveal that additional environmental testing is
necessary, the Investigation Period shall be extended for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed one hundred
eighty (180) days, during which time Buyer may, at Buyer's expense, perform such additional testing of the
Property as Buyer deems necessary. At the end of such period, or such earlier period as Buyer may elect, Seller
shall either (i) agree to perform environmental remediation on the Property to remove all Hazardous Materials
revealed by the environmental testing; or (ii) notify Buyer that Seller will not perform such environmental

agreed to perform any required remediation.
D. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of all title matters or matters of survey to which Buyer
objects prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period, and Seller shall have fifteen (15) days after delivery of
said notice to cure said title and survey matters, or agree to cure such matters in a manner reasonably acceptable
to Buyer and Buyer's title insurance company prior to Closing. If Seller does not cure any such title or survey
matters or agree to cure such matters in a manner reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Buyer's title insurance
company within fifteen (15) days after notice thereof, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by providing written
notice to Seller, in which case the Earnest Money plus all accrued interest shall be immediately returned to Buyer
(except for a $100.00 inspection fee, which shall be paid to Seller). If Seller does not agree to cure any such title
and survey matters as provided herein, and if Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement as provided
herein, such matters that Seller does not agree to cure shall be deemed waived by Buyer and shall be Permitted
Encumbrances (as defined below). As used herein, "Permitted Encumbrances" shall mean the lien for ad
valorem real estate taxes on the Property for the year in which the Closing occurs and subsequent years and any
other matters that are expressly approved by Buyer in writing or waived by Buyer pursuant to this Paraeraoh

the expiration of the Investigation Period, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate, the Earnest Money plus all
DMS LIBRARYa 1-185320825

accrued interest shall be immediately returned to Buyer (except for a $100.00 inspection fee, which shall be paid to
Seller), and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder. The failure of Buyer to provide
such notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period shall be deemed conclusively a
waiver of Buyer's termination rights under this Paragraph 3.

Subject: Report of Geotechnical Evaluation — Addendum I
Proposed Family Dollar
US Highway 17 Business
Chocowinity, North Carolina
Shield Project No.1120105-01
Dear Mr. Smith:
APR 1 1 2013
U
This letter serves as an addendum to the "Report of Geotechnical Evaluation" for the proposed
Family Dollar to be located in Chocowinity, North Carolina as prepared by Shield Engineering,
Inc., (Shield) and dated September 13, 2012. This addendum addresses the sampling and testing
of the soil encountered in the proposed detention pond locations.
Shield subcontracted with a Soil Scientist, licensed in the State of North Carolina, to evaluate the
saturated hydraulic conductivity and identify the seasonally high water table (SHWA in the
general vicinity of the two (2) proposed detention pond locations (front and rear portions of
property). The report with these findings is attached to this addendum.
We are available to review with you the recommendations we have presented herein and answer
any questions you may have. We have enjoyed working with you and look forward to our
continued association as your geotechnical consultant on the remainder of this project and future
projects. Should you have any questions regarding this report or if we may be of further
assistance, please feel free to contact us at your convenience.
Sincerely,
SHIELD ENGINE4X-

Re: Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity, Soil Site Description, and Identification of the
Seasonally High Water Table for a Proposed Family Dollar Store in Chocowinity, NC
This evaluation was performed as per your request and terms agreed upon by Carolina
Environmental Consultants, Inc., PA and Shield Engineering, Inc. by the executed proposal
dated August 1, 2012
SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work was to perform saturated hydraulic conductivity testing (Ksat) and
identification of the seasonally high water table (SHWT) for a Storm Water BMP to be located to
the front and rear of a proposed Family Dollar store in Chocowinity, NC
Carolina Environmental Consultants (CEC) visited the site on August 5 and September 29, 2012.
CEC performed several soil borings with hand augers in the location of the proposed BMP's to
describe and classify soil. Four locations were chosen to perform Ksat testing in the vicinity of
the proposed BMP device. Ksat's were taken using an Aardvark Constant Head Penneameter.
FINDINGS
The subject property is located in Beaufort County, Northwest of the intersection of NC Hwy 17
and Bragaw Ln. CEC performed six soil borings to a depth needed to identify the seasonal high
water table. Borings I through 6 had evidence of seasonal high water at 28", 27", 23", 23", 25",
and 25" respectively. Please see attached soil descriptions. The result of Ksat location #1 was
0.2706 inches per hour (0.6873 cm/hr). The result of Ksat location #2 was 0 inches per hour (0
cm/hr) ( it was assumed this boring was at a depth influenced by the water table). The result of
Ksat location #3 was 0.0768 inches per hour (0.1951 cm/hr). The result of Ksat location #4 was
0.2646 inches per hour (0.6720 cm/hr). Please see attached spreadsheet for times and readings as
steady state was achieved. All soil borings contained a expansive (NRCS/USDA field method)
clay lens that restricted the movement of water through the soil profile. Additionally, please see
the attached map depicting locations of soil borings and Ksat's.

CEC is glad to be of service in this matter. Please feel free to contact us with questions or
comments.

Shield Project No. 1120105-01
Dear Mr: Smith:
Shield Engineering, Inc., (Shield) has completed the gcotechnical evaluation for the proposed Family
Dollar site in Chocowinity, North Carolina. Authorization to proceed with this study was provided by Mr:
Bryan. E. Smith, PR of Aston FD Development, LLC. This report contains a brief description of the
project: information provided to us, general subsurface soil conditions revealed during our gcotechnical
study; and our recommendations for the proposed building construction.
Based on our investigation, it is our opinion the site is suitable for the construction of the proposed project
from a geotechnical standpoint. Soft and loose soils were found during investigation that should be
mitigated prior to construction. Site mitigation options include:
Modify the site by undercutting the site 2 feet from its current grade; Inning the bottom with a
geoconnpositc (fencate PEC 35/35, or equivalent); and backfilling with 2 feet of ABC stone back'
to the current elevation: Additional fill can be placed above the current elevation to the required
elevation grade and [lie fill can include suitable onsite soil. The recommended foundation system
Would consist of conventional shallow foundations including continuous and isolated footings
with slab -on -grade.
Modifying the foundation to a low bearing thickened mat slab or a waffle slab. Eitherof these
foundation types (thickened m:dslab and waffle slab) will spread the building load out across the
building pad and act as single load on the soil, decreasing both total settlement and minimizing
differential settlement. The subsurface soil would not require removal and recompaction.
We are available to review with you the recommendations we have presented herein and answer any
questions you may have. We have enjoyed working with you and look forward to our continued
association as your gcotechnical consultant oil the remainder of this project and any future projecis.you
may have. Should you have any questions regard ingIli is report 6r if Nye may be.ofTurther assistance,
please feel free to contact us at your coivenicnce.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose of Study
The purpose of this study was to obtain information regarding the subsurface conditions within
the proposed building and parking areas. Additionally, this study was undertaken to conduct
pertinent field tests to assess the engineering characteristics of the subsurface materials, and to
provide recommendations regarding the geotechnical aspects of site preparation and foundation
design. This report contains the following items:
• Site Location Plan;
• Boring Location Plan;
• Boring Logs;
• A review of the encountered existing subsurface conditions with comments on the
aerial geology;
• A general evaluation of the site considering the proposed building construction and
encountered subsurface conditions;
• Laboratory testing data and analysis;
• General recommendations for the design and construction of a foundation system;
• Recommendations regarding estimated foundation settlements; and
• Recommendations for site preparation and construction of compacted fills.
1.2 Project Location
The site is located along US Highway 17
Business, southwest of the intersection of US
Highway 17 Business and Bragaw Lane in
Chocowinity, North Carolina, as shown on Figure
1, "Site Location Plan" in Appendix A. The
layout of the proposed structure and the borings is
shown on Figure 2, "Boring Location Plan" in
Appendix A.
1.3 Proposed Construction
The proposed project site is approximately 1.31 acres, and plans are to construct a single -story
Family Dollar retail structure and associated parking areas on the parcel. The Family Dollar
building will front on US Highway 17, and will have a masonry/brick, load bearing front wall,
with the remainder of the structure being steel framed. The proposed structure will utilize a slab -
on -grade foundation system. Based on conversations with representatives of Aston FD
Development, LLC, Shield understands that there is a detention/retention pond proposed for the
site. Based on Shield's understanding of the project, it is anticipated that site grading will be
minimal.

Page 4 of 15
The scope of service included Geld testing, as well as evaluating the existing subsurface
conditions with regard to the proposed construction. Recommendations are presented herein for
the development and construction considerations of the site. This report also contains a brief
description of the field testing procedures perfonned for this study and a discussion of the soil
conditions encountered at the project site.
Our approved scope of service did not include an environmental site assessment of the property.
Consequently, this report does not contain information regarding the presence or absence of toxic
or hazardous wastes or the presence of pollutants in the soils, rock or groundwater of the site.
2.0 GEOTECHNICAL BACKGROUND
2.1 Site Description and Toriogra0v
Based on our site reconnaissance, the site is located in a suburban and/or light commercial area.
The site is relatively flat with a slight downward slope extending from southwest to northeast.
Heavy vegetation consisting of mature trees is located in the northwest comer of the site. An
existing business (Tigercat Forestry Equipment) is located immediately adjacent to the northern
boundary and First South Bank is located directly across the street from the project site.
2.2 Regional Geologv
The referenced site is located in Approximate Site Location
the Coastal Plain of North
Carolina. The Coastal Plain is a
wedge of mostly marine }
sedimentary rocks that
gradually thickens to the east.
The Coastal Plain is the largest
belt in the State of North
Carolina covering &.Wq` .0,
approximately 45 percent of
■ sr..arwe ❑ uaw
the land area. The most
common sediment types are sand and clay, although a significant amount of limestone occurs in
the southern part of the Coastal Plain.
According to the Geologic Map of North Carolina (1985), the site is underlain by Yorktown
Formation described as fossiliferous clay with varying amounts of fine-grained sand, bluish gray,
shell material commonly concentrated in lenses.
2.3 Soil Survey
Based on the Soil Survey of Beaufort County, North Carolina, issued in September 1995 by the
United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, the proposed Family Dollar

Family Dollar — US Highway 17 Business September 13, 2012
Shield Project No. 1 120105-01 Page 5 of 15
site is primarily underlain by Craven fine sandy loam (CrA) soils in the front two thirds of the lot
and Lenoir loam (Le) soils in the rear one third of the lot. These soils are typically found in flats
on marine terraces and flats on broad interstream divides, contain nearly level to strong slopes
and are somewhat poorly drained to moderately well -drained. The depth to water table ranges
from 12 to 36 inches below ground surface and has predominately clayey subsoil. Liquid Limits
for these soils range from 0-70 and Plasticity Indices (PI) range from non -plastic (NP) to 43.
3.0 FIELD EXPLORATION
3.1 Subsurface Exploration Procedures
A total of ten (10) soil test borings (B-1 through B-10) were performed at the approximate
locations shown on the attached Figure 2, "Boring Location Plan", in Appendix A. The locations
of the borings were determined by personnel from our office based on the proposed building (B-
1 through B-5), parking lot (B-6 through B-8) and possible detention pond (B-9 through B-10)
on the preliminary site layout provided to us by the client. Shield personnel recorded the boring
locations in the field by use of a Gannin hand-held global positioning system and physical
features on the property. A trailer mounted, CME-45 drill rig was used by Shield's
subcontractor, Carolina Drilling, to advance the borings into the ground and obtain samples for
an engineering evaluation.
The soil test borings were extended to depths ranging from approximately 10 to 15 feet below
the existing ground surface, with the exception of boring B-5 which was extended to 50 feet. The
soil test borings were performed using rotary wash drilling techniques in general accordance
with ASTM Practice D-5783. Soil samples were obtained at the soil test borings during our field
exploration in general accordance with ASTM Test Method D-1586.
Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were performed at designated intervals in the soil test borings
as the augers were advanced. The SPT (N-value) represents the number of blows required to
drive a split -barrel sampler 12 inches with a 140-pound, rope and cathead hammer falling from a
height of 30 inches. The N-value provides a general indication of in -situ soil conditions and has
been correlated with certain published engineering properties of soils. The results of these tests
are depicted graphically on each individual "Geotechnical Boring Log" at the respective test
depths in Appendix B. A "Key to Soil Classification" and "Soil Classification Chart" are also
included in Appendix B.
The split -spoon soil samples collected during the field testing operations were visually examined
and classified by a member of our geotechnical staff in general accordance with ASTM Practice
D-2488 using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). The "Soil Classification Chart",
included in Appendix B, illustrates the USCS classification symbols depicted on the
"Geotechnical Boring Logs".

4.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.1 Soil Profile
General subsurface conditions encountered during our subsurface exploration are described
herein. For more detailed soil descriptions and stratifications at a particular boring location, the
respective "Geotechnical Boring Log" in Appendix B should be reviewed. The geotechnical
boring logs represent our interpretation of the field logs based on engineering observations of the
sampled soils and selective laboratory testing. The horizontal stratification lines designating the
interface between various strata represent approximate boundaries. Transition between different
strata in the field may be gradual in both the horizontal and vertical directions.
Topsoil: Topsoil was encountered at the surface in each soil test boring ranging in depths
from 8 to 16 inches below ground surface.
Residuum: Residual soils were encountered beneath the topsoil in each soil lest boring.
The residual soils generally consist of Sandy CLAY (CL) and Clayey SAND (SC).
Standard Penetration Resistances (N-values) in the residuum ranged from weight of
hammer (WOH) to 26 blows per foot (bpf) at approximate depths of 0 to 15 feet below
the existing ground surface with the majority ranging from 4 to 8 bpf. Each of the borings
with the exception of B-5 was terminated in the residuum at depths of approximately 10
to 15 feet below the existing ground surface.
Yorktown Formation: Soil of the Yorktown Formation was encountered beneath the
residual soil in boring B-5 at a depth of 29 feet. The Yorktown Formation generally
consisted of gray Clayey SAND with shell fragments. N-values in the Yorktown
Fonnation ranged from 10 to 31 bpf. Boring B-5 was terminated in the Yorktown
Formation at an approximate depth of 50 feet below the existing ground surface.
4.2 Groundwater Observations
Drilling was performed with a rotary wash drill rig. In rotary wash drilling operations, water is
introduced into the boreholes as part of the procedure, making groundwater readings during
drilling unobtainable. Due to safety concerns, the borings were backfilled after the completion of
drilling operations, making subsequent water level readings unobtainable.
It should be noted that water levels tend to Fluctuate with seasonal and climatic variations, as
well as with some types of construction operations. Therefore, water may be encountered during
construction at depths not indicated during this study.
4.3 Detention Pond
Shield subcontracted with a Soil Scientist, licensed in the State of North Carolina, to evaluate the
saturated hydraulic conductivity and identify the seasonally high water table (SHWT) in the
general vicinity of the two (2) proposed detention pond locations (borings B-9 and B-10). The
report of these findings will be submitted at a later date as an addendum to this report.
