This audit committee charter was adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Silver Star Properties REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) on April 21, 2009 and amended on October 25, 2011.

I.PURPOSES

The audit committee (the “committee”) shall assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee management regarding: (a) the conduct and integrity of the company’s financial reporting to any governmental or regulatory body, the public or other users thereof; (b) the company’s systems of internal accounting and financial and disclosure controls; (c) the qualifications, engagement, compensation, independence and performance of the company’s independent auditors, their conduct of the annual audit, and their engagement for any other services; (d) the company’s legal and regulatory compliance; (e) the company’s codes of ethics as established by management and the board; and (f) the preparation of the audit committee report required by SEC rules to be included in the company’s annual proxy statement.

In discharging its role, the committee is empowered to inquire into any matter it considers appropriate to carry out its responsibilities, with access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of the company. The committee has the power to retain outside counsel, independent auditors or other advisors to assist it in carrying out its activities. The company shall provide adequate resources to support the committee’s activities, including compensation of the committee’s counsel, independent auditors and other advisors. The committee shall have the sole authority to retain, compensate, direct, oversee and terminate counsel, independent auditors, and other advisors hired to assist the committee, who shall be accountable ultimately to the committee.

II.COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP

The committee shall consist of two or more members of the board, each of whom the board has selected and determined to be “independent” in accordance with applicable rules of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange. All members of the committee shall meet the financial literacy requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and at least one member shall be an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined under applicable SEC rules. A member of the committee may serve on the audit committee of other public companies, including the company, provided however that committee requires that its members disclose such membership to the chairman of the committee who shall determine that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such member to effectively serve on the committee. Such determinations shall be disclosed in the annual proxy statement.

Committee members shall continue to be members until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Any member may be removed by the board, with or without cause, at any time. The chair of the committee shall be appointed from among the committee members by, and serve at the pleasure of, the committee to convene and chair meetings of the committee, set agendas for meetings, and determine the committee’s information needs. In the absence of the chair at a duly convened meeting, the committee shall select a temporary substitute from among its members.

III. COMMITTEE MEETINGS

The committee shall meet on a regularly scheduled basis at least four times per year or more frequently as circumstances dictate. The committee shall meet at least quarterly with the independent auditor in separate executive sessions to provide the opportunity for full and frank discussion without members of senior management present.

The committee shall establish its own schedule and rules of procedure. Meetings of the committee may be held telephonically. A majority of the members of the committee shall constitute a quorum sufficient for the taking of any action by the committee.

IV. KEY REPONSIBILITIES

The committee’s role is one of oversight. The company’s management is responsible for preparing the company’s financial statements and the independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The committee recognizes that company management and the independent auditors have more time, knowledge, and detailed information about the company than do committee members. Consequently, in carrying out its oversight responsibilities, the committee is not providing any expert or special assurance as to the company’s financial statements or any professional certification as to the independent auditor’s work.

The following responsibilities are set forth as a guide for fulfilling the committee’s purposes, with the understanding that the committee’s activities may diverge as appropriate given the circumstances. The committee is authorized to carry out these activities and other actions reasonably related to the committee’s purposes or assigned by the board from time to time.

The committee may form, and delegate any of its responsibilities to, a subcommittee so long as such subcommittee is solely comprised of one or more members of the committee.

To fulfill its purposes, the committee shall:
