CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

THIS CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (including all exhibits and schedules, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 4, 2011, by and among STAG INDUSTRIAL, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), STAG INDUSTRIAL OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and a subsidiary of the Company (the “Operating Partnership”), BSB STAG III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BSB”), STAG III EMPLOYEES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Employees III”), XXXXXXXX X. XXXXXXX, an individual (“Xx. Xxxxxxx”), XXX STAG III RESIDUAL LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“XXX”), XXXXXXX X. XXXXXXXX, an individual (“Xx. Xxxxxxxx”) and ROSEVIEW CAPITAL PARTNERS LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“Roseview”, and together with BSB, Employees III, Xx. Xxxxxxx, XXX and Xx. Xxxxxxxx, the “Contributors” and each a “Contributor”).

RECITALS

A. The Company, which is the sole member of STAG Industrial GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”), which in turn is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, desires to consolidate the ownership and management of a portfolio of primarily single tenant real estate assets through the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Formation Transaction”).

B. The Formation Transaction relates to the proposed initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) of the common stock, par value $0.01, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).

C. The Contributors collectively own 100% of the membership interests in STAG Capital Partners III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SCP III”). SCP III is governed by the terms of that certain Limited Liability Company Agreement among the Contributors dated as of June 1, 2007, as amended by that certain Amendment to Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of May 8, 2008, as further amended by that certain Redemption Agreement, Admission of New Member and Second Amendment to Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of July 29, 2008 (as so amended, the “Operating Agreement”). BSB owns 0.01% of the membership interests in SCP III; Employees III owns 20.00% of the membership interests in SCP III; Xx. Xxxxxxx owns 35.49% of the membership interests in SCP III, XXX owns 28.50% of the membership interests in SCP III, Xx. Xxxxxxxx owns 9.50% of the membership interests in SCP III and Roseview owns 6.50% of the membership interests in SCP III.

D. SCP III is a party to those certain Services Agreements listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the “Services Agreements” and each, a “Services Agreement”) pursuant to which SCP III provides asset management and other services to some of the Other Contributors (as hereinafter defined) or their subsidiaries, among others.

E. Each Contributor desires to, and the Operating Partnership desires that each Contributor, contribute to the Operating Partnership all of such Contributor’s right, title and interest, free and clear of all Encumbrances, as a member of SCP III, including, without limitation, all of its voting rights and interests in the capital, profits and losses of SCP III or any

property distributable therefrom, constituting all of its rights and interests in SCP III (such right, title and interest, the “SCP III Interests”), in exchange for common units of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (the “Units”) in a transaction intended by the parties to qualify as a tax-free contribution to the Operating Partnership pursuant to Section 721(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”).

F. The parties acknowledge that the acquisition of the SCP III Interests by the Operating Partnership is in connection with the consummation of the Public Offering and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein.

G. Simultaneously herewith, STAG Investments III, LLC, STAG Investments IV, LLC, STAG GI Investments, LLC, Net Lease Aggregation Funds, LLC and Innovative Promotions LLC (collectively, together with any additional contributor approved by the foregoing, the “Other Contributors” and each, an “Other Contributor”) have entered into Contribution Agreements (collectively, the “Other Agreements” and each, an “Other Agreement”) pursuant to which such Other Contributors have agreed to contribute their respective assets to the Operating Partnership simultaneously with the Contributors’ contribution hereunder (the “Roll-Up”) in exchange for an aggregate number of Units as set forth in the Other Agreements, which aggregate number of Units shall be determined based on the initial offering price of the Common Stock and which, together with the number of Units received by the Contributor hereunder, shall total 7,590,000 Units (the “Total Units”) (and which number of Units received by each Contributor is subject to adjustment as expressly provided herein and in the Other Agreements).

H. The parties intend this Agreement to be a “Contribution Agreement” pursuant to the terms of the Operating Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership Agreement”).

I. All references in this Agreement to sections, articles, exhibits, schedules, attachments and recitals shall refer to the corresponding sections, articles, exhibits, schedules, attachments and recitals of or to this Agreement. Capitalized terms used and not defined in the body of this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit F attached hereto and incorporated herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, and the mutual undertakings set forth below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the foregoing recitals are incorporated into, and made a part of this Agreement, and the parties hereto further agree as follows:

TERMS OF AGREEMENT

ARTICLE 1

CONTRIBUTION OF SCP III INTERESTS IN EXCHANGE FOR UNITS

Section 1.1 Contribution Transactions.

(a) At the Closing and subject to and on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, each Contributor shall contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to the Company, all of its SCP III Interests (also sometimes referred to as the “Contributed Assets”). The contribution of its SCP III Interests to the Operating Partnership by each Contributor shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of a Contribution and Assumption Agreement by such Contributor in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein.

(b) The parties shall take such additional actions and execute such additional documentation as may be required by the Operating Agreement or as requested in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Company or the Operating Partnership in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 1.2 Consideration for SCP III Interests. In exchange for the SCP III Interests contributed to the Operating Partnership by the Contributors, the Operating Partnership shall issue a certain number of Units to the Contributors based on the initial public offering price of the Common Stock as set forth below, such number of Units being referred to herein as the “Aggregate Consideration” relating to the SCP III Interests contributed hereunder. If the initial public offering price for the Common Stock is between $15.00 per share and $17.00 per share, then the Aggregate Consideration shall be the number of Units set forth in the spreadsheet attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit I in the row corresponding with the initial public offering price of the Common Stock and the column entitled “SCP III Units”. For example, if the initial pubic offering price for the Common Stock were $16.50 per share, the Aggregate Consideration would be 37,630 Units. If the initial public offering price for the Common Stock is less than $15.00 per share or more than $17.00 per share, then the Aggregate Consideration shall be the number of Units determined by multiplying the Non-Venture Units (as hereinafter defined) by the Pro Rata Share. “Pro Rata Share” means (a) the number of Units the Contributors would receive if the initial offering price of the Common Stock was $16.00 per share as set forth on Exhibit I; divided by (b) the Non-Venture Units if the initial public offering price of the Common Stock was $16.00 per share. The “Non-Venture Units” means (y) the Total Units, minus (z) the Venture Contributor’s Consideration. “Venture Contributor’s Consideration” means the number of Units determined by dividing the Venture Contributor’s Value by the initial public offering price for the Common Stock. “Venture Contributors Value” means, if the initial public offering price for the Common Stock is less than $15.00 per share, $74,854,304, and if the initial public offering price for the Common Stock is greater than $17.00 per share, the sum of (A) $74,854,304 plus (B) 64.3% of the excess of (i) the product of the Total Units multiplied by the initial public offering price per share of the Common Stock in the Public Offering over (ii) $121,440,000, consistent with the allocation of Units when the initial public offering price for the Common Stock is between $16.01 per share and $17.00 per share as set forth on Exhibit I attached hereto. Each Contributor shall receive its pro rata share of the Aggregate Consideration based on its percentage interests in SCP III as set forth in Recital C above (as to each Contributor, the “Consideration”). In the event that, subsequent to the date of this Agreement but before the closing of the Formation Transaction, the Common Stock or the units of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership issued and outstanding shall, through a reorganization, recapitalization, stock or unit dividend, stock or unit split or similar change in the capitalization of the Company or the Operating Partnership increase or decrease in number, then an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Consideration.

Section 1.3 Adjusted Consideration. At the Closing, all items of income and expense with respect to SCP III shall be prorated between the Contributors, on the one hand, and the Operating Partnership, on the other hand, with all such items attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2.2) to be credited or charged to Contributors, and all such items attributable to the period commencing on the Closing Date shall be credited to the Operating Partnership. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.3, income and expenses shall be prorated on the basis of a 30-day month and on the basis of the accrual method of accounting. The prorations to be performed hereunder shall be completed by the Company based on the parties’ estimates as of the Closing, shall be evidenced by a closing statement prepared by the Company, shall be reconciled based on actual amounts when available, but in all events within ninety (90) days of Closing (the “Reconciliation Period”) and shall be implemented through a cash payment from the Operating Partnership to the Contributors to the extent the prorations result in a net credit to the Contributors and a cash payment from the Contributors to the Operating Partnership to the extent the prorations result in a net charge to the Contributors. In addition, immediately prior to Closing, SCP III shall distribute to the Contributors any cash then held by SCP III (to the extent not being transferred with the Contributed Assets as a proration in accordance with this Section 1.3) and such cash shall not be contributed to the Operating Partnership with the Contributed Assets. The parties hereby agree that the closing statement shall be prepared by the Company based on assumptions that the Closing takes place on the Estimated Closing Date. If the Closing actually takes place on a day other than the Estimated Closing Date, then, during the Reconciliation Period, the prorations shall be recalculated as of the actual Closing Date based on actual amounts and the Company shall prepare a revised closing statement, and to the extent such revised closing statement reveals that the Contributors received more or less cash than they should have received had the prorations included in the original closing statement not been based on estimated amounts and the Closing occurring on the Estimated Closing Date, then the Operating Partnership (if the Contributors received less cash than they should have received) or the Contributor (if the Contributors received more cash than they should have received), as applicable, shall make a cash payment to the other as necessary to make the cash received by the Contributors correct based on the revised closing statement. Finally, if the Allocated Debt is greater than or less than the Estimated Allocated Debt Amount, the difference (as well as any interest accruals or other charges or payments of the Allocated Debt for the period after December 31, 2010 and until the Closing Date) will be a proration item credited (to the extent the Allocated Debt is less than the Estimated Allocated Debt Amount) or charged (to the extent the Allocated Debt is greater than the Estimated Allocated Debt Amount) to the Contributors and adjusted in cash during the proration reconciliation process.

Section 1.4 Tax Treatment of Contribution. The contribution, transfer, conveyance and assignment of the SCP III Interests to the Operating Partnership from the Contributors is intended to be treated as a transaction in “assets-over” form pursuant to Treas. Reg. 1.708-1(c)(3) qualifying under Section 721(a) of the Code.

Section 1.5 Final Year Allocation. To the extent that the Operating Agreement does not provide for final year tax allocations, the Contributors agree to use the “interim closing of the books” method as provided in Section 706 of the Code to allocate income and loss for the year in which the Closing occurs.

Section 1.6 Section 704(c) Method. The Operating Partnership shall use the “traditional method” described in Treas. Reg. § 1.704-3(b) with respect to the assets of SCP III, with no “curative allocation” of income or gain to offset any “shortfall” in depreciation that results by reason of the use of the “traditional method,” following any “Book-Up Event” (i.e., a subsequent issuance of OP Units (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement), an in-kind contribution of property to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units, or a redemption of OP Units).

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AND INDEMNITIES

Section 3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership and the Company, jointly and severally, hereby represent and warrant to, and covenant with, each Contributor that:

The persons and entities executing this Agreement and all agreements contemplated hereby on behalf of the Company and the Operating Partnership have the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and such other contemplated agreements.

(b) No Violation. Assuming the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Contributor in Section 3.2, (i) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company and the Operating Partnership of its obligations under this Agreement and all other agreements contemplated hereby will not contravene any provision of applicable law, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company or the certificate of limited partnership or Operating Partnership Agreement, or any material agreement or other material instrument binding upon the Company or the Operating Partnership, or any applicable law, judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Company or the Operating Partnership, and (ii) no consent, approval, authorization or order of or qualification with any governmental body or agency is required for the performance by the Company or the Operating Partnership of its obligations under this Agreement and all other agreements contemplated hereby, which, if not obtained, would cause a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) No Brokers. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.2(k), neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership has entered into, nor will either of them enter into, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or firm that will result in the obligation of any Contributor or any of the Contributors’ equity holders or beneficiaries (as such) to pay any finder’s fee, brokerage commission or similar payment in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Valid Issuance of Units. The Units, when issued and delivered in compliance with the provisions of the Agreement will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and, except as provided in the Operating Partnership Agreement and except as affected by

Section 17-607 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, non-assessable. The Units will be free of any Encumbrances created by the Company or the Operating Partnership; provided, however, that the Units are subject to restrictions on transfer under U.S. state and/or federal securities laws and as set forth in the Operating Partnership Agreement. The Units will not be issued in violation of any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal granted by the Company or the Operating Partnership.

(e) Tax Status of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership has at all times during its existence been properly treated as either a “disregarded entity” or a partnership and not as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, and each subsidiary of the Operating Partnership has at all times during its existence been properly treated as either a “disregarded entity” or a partnership and not as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, other than STAG Industrial TRS, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership that is taxable as a corporation for federal tax purposes as a taxable REIT subsidiary.

(f) REIT Status.

(i) The Company intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Code, and the Company will be organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and its proposed ownership and method of operation will enable it to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code for the Company’s taxable years ending December 31, 2011 and thereafter.

(ii) The Common Stock will be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended and will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

(g) Litigation.

Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, no outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, government, governmental entity or authority or arbitration naming or specifically identifying the Company or the Operating Partnership that in any such case would impair the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s ability to enter into and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) Investment Company Act of 1940. Neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership is and, after giving effect to the Public Offering, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership will be, an “investment company,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(i) Valid Issuance of Common Stock. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and when issued and duly delivered against payment therefor as contemplated in the applicable underwriting agreement, the shares of Common Stock issued in the Public Offering will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Section 3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Contributors. Each Contributor represents and warrants to the Company and the Operating Partnership as set forth below in this Section 3.2 with respect to such Contributor and SCP III. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Contributor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement to indemnify any Indemnified Company Party (as defined in Section 3.3(b)).

(a) Title. (i) SCP III owns the servicer’s interest under each of the Services Agreements and such interests in the Services Agreements are not subject to any liens, other than any liens related to the Allocated Debt.

(b) Organization; Authority. The Contributor has the full right, authority, power and legal capacity to enter into this Agreement and any other agreement, document or instrument to be executed and delivered by the Contributor pursuant to this Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the conveyance of the SCP III Interests free and clear of all Encumbrances. The Contributor (to the extent that the Contributor is an entity) and SCP III is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent applicable) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, and has all requisite power and authority to own, lease or operate its property and to carry on its business as presently conducted and, to the extent required under applicable law, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the character of its property make such qualification necessary.

(c) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any other agreement, document or instrument to be executed and delivered by the Contributor pursuant to this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action of the Contributor. Each of this Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Contributor pursuant to this Agreement constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Contributor, each enforceable against the Contributor in accordance with its terms, as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, as from time to time in effect, or the application of equitable principles. With respect to any Contributor that is an individual, such Contributor has full legal capacity to enter into and perform his obligations under this Agreement.

(d) Consents and Approvals. No consent, waiver, approval or authorization of any third party, including, without limitation, any governmental authority or agency, is required to be obtained by the Contributor or SCP III in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except any of the foregoing that shall have been satisfied or obtained at or prior to the Closing Date and except for such consents, waivers, approvals and authorizations the failure of which to obtain would not have a Material Adverse Effect or materially and adversely effect the ability of the Contributor to execute and deliver this Agreement and perform its obligations thereunder.

(e) Ownership of the Interests. The Contributor is the sole record owner of the SCP III Interests to be transferred by the Contributor, free and clear of any Encumbrances and has good and valid title to such SCP III Interests.

(f) Interests.

(i) The SCP III Interests to be contributed by the Contributor and the other Contributors to this Agreement constitute all of the issued and outstanding interests in SCP III.

(ii) The SCP III Interests owned by the Contributor were validly issued and are duly authorized and fully paid and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights. The SCP III Interests have been issued in compliance with applicable law and the Operating Agreement. There are no rights, subscriptions, warrants, options, conversion rights, preemptive rights or agreements of any kind outstanding to purchase or to otherwise acquire any of the interests that comprise the SCP III Interests or any securities or obligations of any kind convertible into any of the interests that comprise the SCP III Interests or other equity interests or profit participation of any kind in SCP III. At the Closing, upon its receipt of the Consideration contemplated by this Agreement, the Contributor will have transferred the SCP III Interests to the Operating Partnership free and clear of all Encumbrances.

(g) No Violation. None of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, the documents required pursuant thereto and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, (a) violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of termination or cancellation of (i) the organizational documents of the Contributor, (ii) any material agreement, document or instrument to which the Contributor or SCP III is a party or by which the Contributor, the SCP III Interests or any of its direct or indirect assets or properties are bound or (iii) any applicable law, or term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree of any governmental or regulatory authority, which is binding on the Contributor or SCP III or by which the Contributor or any of its direct or indirect assets or properties are bound or subject or (b) result in the creation of any Encumbrance upon the SCP III Interests. Except as shall have been cured, consented to or waived prior to the Closing, none of the Contributor (if the Contributor is an entity) or SCP III is in violation of its organizational documents.

(h) Non-Foreign Status. The Contributor is not a “disregarded entity” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) and is not a foreign person, foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as defined in the Code), and is, therefore, not subject to the provisions of the Code relating to the withholding of sales proceeds to foreign persons.

(i) Withholding. The Contributor shall execute at Closing such certificates or affidavits reasonably necessary to document the inapplicability of any federal or state withholding provisions, including, without limitation, those referred to in Section 3.2(h) above and any similar provisions under Massachusetts law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company or the Operating Partnership shall be entitled to withhold a portion of any

payments otherwise to be made to the Contributor as required by the Code or any applicable state law, including (without limitation) Massachusetts law.

(j) Investment Purposes. The Contributor acknowledges its understanding that the Units to be acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement and any shares of Common Stock for which the Units may be redeemed are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations in effect thereunder (the “Act”) and may not be transferred except as provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement executed and delivered by the Operating Partnership or pursuant to the Act or any applicable state blue sky laws pursuant to a specific exemption or exemptions therefrom, and the Operating Partnership’s reliance on such exemptions is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of the Contributor, including the following:

(i) Investment. The Contributor is acquiring the Units solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not as a nominee or agent for any other Person and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution of any thereof. The Contributor agrees and acknowledges that it will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (hereinafter, “Transfer”) any of the Units (or shares of Common Stock for which the Units may be redeemed) unless (i) the Transfer is pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and qualification or other compliance under applicable blue sky or state securities laws, (ii) if required by the Company, counsel for the Contributor (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company and may be DLA Piper LLP (US)) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to the effect that no such registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from registration under the Act and qualification or other compliance under applicable blue sky or state securities laws, or (iii) the Transfer is a redemption of the Units in accordance with the Operating Partnership Agreement.

(ii) Knowledge. The Contributor is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in business and financial matters and fully understands the limitations on transfer imposed by the federal securities laws and as described in this Agreement. The Contributor is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Units for an indefinite period and is able to afford the complete loss of the Contributor’s investment in the Units. The Contributor has received and reviewed all information and documents about or pertaining to the Company, the Operating Partnership, the business and prospects of the Company and the Operating Partnership, and the issuance of the Units and the Common Stock as the Contributor deems necessary or desirable, and has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to ask questions of the proposed management of the Company and the Operating Partnership and receive answers about such information and documents, the Company, the Operating Partnership, the business and prospects of the Company and the Operating Partnership and the Common Stock that the Contributor deems necessary or desirable to evaluate the merits and risks related to the Contributor’s investment in the Units and to conduct its own independent valuation of the purchase of the Units. The Contributor acknowledges that any such questions posed were answered to the Contributor’s satisfaction. The Contributor understands and has taken cognizance of all risk factors related to the purchase of the Units, including, without limitation, the risk factors set forth in the Registration Statement. The Contributor is a sophisticated real estate investor. The Contributor is relying upon its own independent analysis and assessment

(including with respect to taxes), and the advice of the Contributor’s advisors (including tax advisors), and not upon that of the Company and Operating Partnership, for purposes of evaluating, entering into, and consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iii) Holding Period. The Contributor acknowledges that it has been advised that (i) unless the Units and shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon redemption of the Units are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available, the Units and the shares, as applicable, must be held (and the Contributor must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Units and the shares of Common Stock) indefinitely, (ii) a restrictive legend in the form hereafter set forth shall be placed on any certificates representing the Units or, if applicable, shares of Common Stock and (iii) stop transfer and other notations shall be made in the appropriate records of the Operating Partnership and the Company and the Company’s transfer agent indicating that the Units and the shares of Common Stock are subject to restrictions on transfer.

(iv) Accredited Investor. The Contributor is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 (a) of Regulation D under the Act).

(v) Legend. Each certificate representing the Units or shares of Common Stock for which the Units may be redeemed, may, to the extent applicable, bear the following legend:

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (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, IF REQUIRED BY THE COMPANY, 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, each certificate representing shares of Common Stock will bear a legend regarding restriction on ownership and transfer related to the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust.

(k) No Brokers. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.2(k), neither the Contributor nor any of the Contributor’s respective managers, trustees, members or beneficiaries, as applicable, has employed or made any agreement with any broker, finder or similar agent or any Person that will result in the obligation of the Company or any of its Affiliates to pay any finder’s fee, brokerage fees or commissions or similar payment in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(l) Taxes. The Contributor makes the following representations with respect to SCP III (the “Contributed Entity”), and with respect to itself as to Section 3.2(l)(viii) below:

(i) To the Knowledge of the Contributor, (A) all Tax Returns required to be filed by, on behalf of, or with respect to, the Contributed Entity have been duly and timely filed with the appropriate taxing authorities in all jurisdictions in which such Tax Returns are required to be filed (after giving effect to any valid extensions of time in which to make such filings), and all such Tax Returns were true, complete and correct in all material respects; (B) all Taxes due and payable by, on behalf of, or with respect to the Contributed Entity, either directly or otherwise, have been fully and timely paid, except to the extent adequately reserved for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied on the balance sheet of the Contributed Entity (or other applicable entity), and adequate reserves or accruals for Taxes have been provided in the balance sheet of the Contributed Entity (or other applicable entity) with respect to any period through the date hereof for which Tax Returns have not yet been filed or for which Taxes are not yet due and owing; (C) no agreement, waiver or other document or arrangement extending or having the effect of extending the period for assessment or collection of Taxes (including, but not limited to, any applicable statute of limitations) has been executed or filed with any taxing authority by or on behalf of the Contributed Entity, and (D) the Contributed Entity is, and at all times during its existence has been, a limited liability company that is taxable as a partnership or “disregarded entity” (rather than being taxable as an association or a publicly-traded partnership taxable as a corporation).

(vi) To the Knowledge of the Contributor, neither the Contributed Entity nor any other person on behalf of the Contributed Entity has executed or entered into a closing agreement pursuant to Section 7121 of the Code or any predecessor provision thereof or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law with respect to the Contributed Entity. To the Knowledge of the Contributor, no amount will be required to be included as an item of income in, or excluded as an item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date with respect to the Contributed Entity as a result of any: (A) change in method of accounting for a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date; (B) “closing agreement” as described in Code Section 7121 (or any corresponding or similar provision of applicable state, local or foreign Law) executed on or prior to the Closing Date; (C) election with respect to income from the discharge of indebtedness under Code Section 108(i); (D) prepaid amount received on or prior to the Closing Date; (E) sale reported on the installment method that occurred prior to the Closing Date; or (F) any similar election, action or agreement that would have the effect of deferring any liability for Taxes with respect to the Contributed Entity from any period ending on or before the Closing Date to any period ending after the Closing Date.

(m) Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.2(m) or in the Registration Statement, there is no Action pending against the Contributor, SCP III or any of their assets, and for which service has occurred or, to the Knowledge of the Contributor, threatened in writing that would, in the reasonable judgment of the Contributor, if determined adversely to the Contributor or SCP III, as applicable, have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.2(m), no outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, government, governmental entity or authority or arbitration naming or specifically identifying the Contributor or SCP III or all or any portion of the SCP III Interests that would impair the Contributor’s ability to enter into and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i) The Company and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Contributors and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, representatives, beneficiaries, equity interest holders and Affiliates (each of which is an “Indemnified Contributor Party”) from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of investigation and remediation, costs of investigative, judicial or administrative proceedings or appeals therefrom, and costs of attachment or similar bonds (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or relating to, asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the Indemnified Contributor Party in connection with (A) any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of the Company or the Operating Partnership contained in this Agreement, or (B) any Action brought by a third party in the Public Offering against any Contributor relating to any alleged federal or state securities laws violations in connection with the Public Offering, including, without limitation, untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading, or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the prospectus portion of the Registration Statement or related “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Act) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except in each case in this clause (B) insofar as such Losses arise out of, or are based upon, (1) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Contributor or any of its controlling Affiliates furnished to the Company in writing by such Contributor or a controlling Affiliate expressly for use therein, (2) such Contributor’s breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement, or (3) such Contributor’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(ii) Each Contributor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership and their Affiliates and each of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, representatives, beneficiaries, equity interest holders and Affiliates (each of which is an “Indemnified Company Party”) from and against any and all Losses arising out of or relating to, asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by such Indemnified Company Party in connection with or as a result of (A) any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of such Contributor contained in this Agreement or in any schedule of certificate delivered pursuant thereto, or (B) any Action brought by a third party in the Public Offering against the Company or the Operating Partnership relating to any alleged federal or state securities laws violations in connection with the Public Offering, including, without limitation, untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration

To the extent that more than one Contributor may be liable under this Section 3.3(b)(ii) with respect to any Action, such Contributors shall be jointly and severally liable to the Indemnified Company Party, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.3(d).

(c) Notice and Defense of Claims. As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by the Indemnified Company Party or the Indemnified Contributor Party, as applicable (as applicable, an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of any liability or claim incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Party that is subject to indemnification by a Contributor or the Company or the Operating Partnership, as applicable, under this Section 3.3 (as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give notice thereof to each Indemnifying Party, including, without limitation, liabilities or claims to be applied against the indemnification basket established pursuant to Section 3.3(d)(i). The Indemnified Party may at its option demand indemnity under this Section 3.3 from the Indemnifying Party(ies) as soon as a claim has been threatened in writing by a third party, regardless of whether an actual Loss has been suffered, so long as the Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine that such claim is not frivolous and that the Indemnified Party may be liable for, or otherwise incur, a Loss as a result thereof and shall give notice of such determination to the Indemnifying Party(ies). The Indemnified Party shall permit any Indemnifying Party, at its option and expense, to assume the defense of any such claim by counsel selected by such Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to settle or otherwise dispose of the same; provided, that the Indemnified Party may at all times participate (but not control) in such defense at its expense; provided further, that such Indemnifying Party shall not, in defense of any such claim, except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff in question to the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates of a release of all liabilities in respect of such claims, or that does not result only in the payment of money damages; and provided further that in the event of a conflict, the Indemnified Party may choose separate counsel at such Indemnifying Party’s reasonable cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company or the Operating Partnership is required to retain counsel, any such counsel shall be selected by the Company (and may include DLA Piper LLP (US)). If any Indemnifying Party shall fail to undertake such defense within 30 days after such notice, or within such shorter time as may be reasonable under the circumstances, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such liability or claim on behalf of and for the account of the Indemnifying Party(ies).

(d) Limitations on and Threshold for Indemnification.

(i) Threshold for Contributor. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Contributor shall be liable under Section 3.3(b) or this Agreement unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses recoverable by the Indemnified Company Parties under Section 3.3(b) and this Agreement for which such Contributor would, but for this provision, be liable exceeds on an aggregate basis one percent (1%) of the Consideration (valuing each Unit at the per-share initial public offering price of the Common Stock in the Public Offering) paid to such Contributor hereunder and then only to the extent of such excess.

(ii) Indemnification Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Indemnified Company Parties shall look exclusively to each Contributor’s Units for indemnification under this Section 3.3 (valuing each Unit at the initial public offering price of the Common Stock in the Public Offering) and, with respect to any indemnification (other than those claims made with respect to a breach of Sections 3.2(a)(ii)(z), 3.2(b), (c), (e), (f) and (j) (the “Full Value Representations”)), the aggregate recovery that may be sought or obtained under this Agreement or under applicable law for all breaches or claims for indemnification hereunder shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Consideration (valuing each Unit at the initial public offering price of the Common Stock in the Public Offering) paid to such Contributor (the “Maximum Liability”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Contributor acknowledges that its indemnification liability for any breach of the Full Value Representations shall be up to the value of its Units (valuing each Unit at the per-share initial public offering price of the Common Stock in the Public Offering). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Indemnified Party shall have the right to receive or recover incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages against any Indemnifying Party by reason of any breach under or in connection with this Agreement or any schedule, exhibit, certificate or affidavit or any other document delivered by any Contributor or the Company or the Operating Partnership, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement (unless such incidental, special or consequential (but not punitive) damages are incurred by an Indemnified Party as a result of a third party claim for Losses), and each Indemnified Party hereby waives any and all rights to receive such damages.

(e) Limitation Period.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claim for indemnification under Section 3.3(b) must be asserted in writing by the Indemnified Company Party, stating the nature of the Losses and the basis for indemnification therefor. Any claim for indemnification against the Company or the Operating Partnership and any claim against any Contributor with respect to any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any schedule or certificate delivered pursuant hereto must be brought within one (1) year after the Closing. Any such claim for indemnification not so asserted in writing within one year after the Closing shall not thereafter be asserted and shall forever be waived.

(ii) If so asserted in writing within one year after the Closing (or the expiration of such later applicable period described in Section 3.3(e)(i)), such claims for indemnification shall survive until resolved by mutual agreement between the applicable Contributor and the Indemnified Company Party or by judicial determination.

(f) Reservation of Contributor Rights. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 3.3 or this Agreement to the contrary, each Contributor reserves unto itself all rights and remedies (including, without limitation, rights to seek contribution) against any third party indemnitors and prior property owners or occupants for liabilities with respect to which the Company or the Operating Partnership has been indemnified by the Contributors hereunder.

(g) No Effect on Insurance. Nothing contained in this Section 3.3 or this Agreement shall be construed to release or otherwise relieve any insurer of the Contributors, SCP III, Indemnified Company Party or any Affiliate thereof from paying any of its claims or otherwise performing any of its duties and obligations pursuant to the terms and provisions of any policy of insurance which insures the Contributors, SCP III, or any Indemnified Company Party. If any claims as to which an Indemnified Company Party would be entitled to indemnification under Section 3.3(b) are covered by the insurance, the indemnification obligations shall be reduced by, but only by, the amount paid by the insurance company and not by any deductible or other amount reimbursed to the insurance company by an Indemnified Company Party.

Section 3.4 No Reliance, Properties As Is. Each of the Company and the Operating Partnership acknowledge that, except for the Contributor’s representations set forth in Section 3.2, it has not relied upon any statements, representations or warranties by the Contributors or any agent of the Contributors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Company and the Operating Partnership acknowledge and agree that any reports provided or made available to it by the Contributor or the Contributor’s agents are provided or made available without any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of the facts, presumptions, conclusions or other matters contained therein.

Section 4.2 Affirmative Covenants. Each Contributor agrees to comply with the following covenants, as they relate to such Contributor and SCP III, during the term of this Agreement.

Nothing herein shall obligate the Company or the Operating Partnership to pursue or complete the Public Offering, which decision shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion.

(b) Without limiting the obligations of the Contributor set forth in this Agreement, from the date hereof through the Closing, the Contributor shall use its diligent efforts (i) to prevent the breach of any representation or warranty of the Contributor hereunder, (ii) to satisfy all covenants of the Contributor hereunder, provided, however, that subsequent to the Closing each Contributor shall use its diligent efforts to satisfy all covenants of the Contributors hereunder that survive the Closing and (iii) to promptly cure any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of the Contributor hereunder upon its learning of same.

Commencing on or after the date which is one year after the consummation date of the Initial Public Offering, Holders (which may include the GI Entities and the STAG Entities), the GI Entities (so long as they are Holders) or the STAG Entities (so long as they are Holders) may, subject to Section 2.13 and Section 2.14, deliver to the Company a written request that the Company prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, a “Demand Registration Statement”), registering under the Securities Act all or part of its or their Registrable Securities (a “Demand Registration”).

E-7

For purposes of this Agreement, a Demand Registration requested by the Holders is referred to as a “Holder Demand Registration,” a Demand Registration requested by the GI Entities is referred to a “GI Demand Registration,” and a Demand Registration requested by the STAG Entities is referred to as a “STAG Demand Registration.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than six Demand Registrations in total, one GI Demand Registration in total or one STAG Demand Registration in total or more than one Demand Registration in any twelve month period, except that a GI Demand Registration may occur six months before or after a Holder Demand Registration or a STAG Demand Registration, and (ii) in the case of a Holder Demand Registration, the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Holders making such written request shall have a Market Value of at least $20,000,000. Any request for a Demand Registration will specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and will also specify the intended method of disposition thereof. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request, the Company will give written notice of such registration request to all other Holders and include in such registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) Business Days after the mailing of the Company’s notice to the applicable Holder (the “Notice Period”). Each such request will also specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition thereof (which may include an underwritten offering).

(b) Effective Registration. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until it has become effective. For purposes of this Agreement, an offering on a Demand Registration Statement is deemed to be effected on the effective date thereof and has remained effective and available for at least 180 days.

(c) Selling Holders Become Party to Agreement. Each Holder acknowledges that by asserting or participating in its registration rights pursuant to this Article II, he or she may become a Selling Holder and thereby will be deemed a party to this Agreement and will be bound by each of its terms.

(d) Underwritten Demand Registrations. If the Holders of a majority of shares of the Registrable Securities to be registered in a Demand Registration so elect by written notice to the Company, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. The Company shall select the book-running managing Underwriter in connection with any such Demand Registration; provided that such managing Underwriter must be reasonably satisfactory to (i) in the case of a Holder Demand Registration, the Holders of a majority of the shares of the Registrable Securities to be registered on such Demand Registration and, as long as the GI Entities register on such Demand Registration Registrable Securities with a Market Value of at least $5,000,000, the GI Entities, (ii) in the case of a GI Demand Registration, the GI Entities and (iii) in the case of a STAG Demand Registration, the STAG Entities. The Company may select any additional investment banks and managers to be used in connection with the offering; provided that such additional investment bankers and managers must be reasonably satisfactory to a majority of the Holders of the Registrable Securities initiating such Demand Registration.

Section 3.3 Piggy-Back Registration.

(a) Subject to Section 3.1 hereof, if the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act (or a prospectus supplement to effect a takedown from an effective shelf registration statement) with respect to an underwritten equity offering by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its respective security holders of any class of security (other than (i) any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act relating to an offering of Common Stock for its own account as a result of the exercise of the exchange rights set forth in the Partnership Agreement, (ii) any registration statement filed in connection with a demand registration other than a Demand Registration under this Agreement or (iii) a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission) or filed in connection with an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing security holders), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders as soon as practicable (but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein.

(b) The Company shall select the lead underwriter or underwriters and any co-manager or co-managers to administer any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Piggy-Back Registration. In the event the Company gives the Holders notice of its intention to effect an offering pursuant to a Piggy-Back Registration and subsequently declines to proceed with such offering, the Holders shall have no rights in connection with such offering; provided, however, that, subject to Section 3.13 and Section 3.14, at the request of the Holders, the Company shall proceed with such offering with respect to the Registrable Securities included therein, which offering shall be deemed a Demand Registration for all purposes hereunder. The Holders shall participate in any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Piggy-Back Registration (or deemed Demand Registration, if applicable) in accordance with the same plan of distribution for such Piggy-Back Registration as the Company or the holder or holders of Common Stock that proposed such Piggy-Back Registration, as the case may be.

Section 3.4 Reduction of Offering. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of an offering described in Section 3.2 or Section 2.3 hereof advise the Company and the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such offering that, in their judgment, (i) the size of the offering that the Holders, the Company and such other Persons intend to make or (ii) in the case of a Piggy-Back Registration only, the kind of securities that the Holders, the Company and/or any other Persons intend to include in such offering are such that the marketability of the offering would be adversely affected by inclusion of the Registrable Securities requested to be included, then

(A) if the size of the offering is the basis of such Underwriter’s advice, the amount of securities to be offered for the accounts of Holders shall be reduced pro rata (according to the number of Registrable Securities proposed for registration) to the extent

E-9

necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing Underwriter or Underwriters; provided, that, in the case of a Demand Registration, the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Demand Registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from such underwriting; provided further, that, in the case of a GI Demand Registration, the number of Registrable Securities of the GI Entities to be included in such Demand Registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from such underwriting; provided further, that, in the case of a STAG Demand Registration, the number of Registrable Securities of the STAG Entities to be included in such Demand Registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from such underwriting; provided further, that, in the case of a Piggy-Back Registration, if securities are being offered for the account of other Persons as well as the Company, then the Company shall include in such offering:

(1) first, securities that the Company proposes to offer;

(2) second, securities requested to be included therein by the Holders, pro rata;

(3) third, securities that any other Person proposes to offer pursuant to contractual rights of such holder or holders, pro rata; and

(4) fourth, any other securities; and

(B) if the combination of securities to be offered is the basis of such Underwriter’s advice, (x) the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering shall be reduced as described in clause (A) above (subject to the provisos in clause (A)) or (y) if the actions described in clause (x) would, in the judgment of the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, be insufficient to substantially eliminate the adverse effect that inclusion of the Registrable Securities requested to be included would have on such offering, such Registrable Securities will be excluded from such offering; provided that no Registrable Securities will be excluded from an offering pursuant to this clause (B) in the case of a Demand Registration.

Section 3.5 Registration Procedures; Filings; Information. In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement under Section 3.1 or whenever Holders request that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof (which in the case of a Demand Registration but not in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement may include an underwritten offering) as quickly as practicable, and in connection with any such request:

(a) Subject to Section 3.13, the Company will as expeditiously as possible within the time periods set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 but in any event no later than 30 days after the Notice Period for a Demand Registration, prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such filed registration

E-10

statement to become and remain effective: (i) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, for a period ending when all shares of Common Stock covered by the Shelf Registration Statement are no longer Registrable Securities; and (ii) in the case of a Demand Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, for at least 180 days.

(b) The Company will, if requested, prior to filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish to each Selling Holder and each Underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of such registration statement as proposed to be filed, and thereafter furnish to such Selling Holder and Underwriter, if any, such number of conformed copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such Selling Holder or Underwriter may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder.

(c) After the filing of the registration statement, the Company will promptly notify each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered.

(d) The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States (where an exemption does not apply) as any Selling Holder or managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, reasonably (in light of such Selling Holder’s intended plan of distribution) requests and (ii) cause such Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Selling Holder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided that the Company will not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (d), (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(e) The Company will immediately notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a preliminary prospectus, prospectus or prospectus supplement relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and promptly make available to each Selling Holder any such supplement or amendment.

(f) The Company will enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement, if any, in customary form) and take such other actions as the Selling Holders reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable

E-11

Securities, including, in the case of a GI Demand Registration or a STAG Demand Registration and to the extent reasonably requested by the lead or managing Underwriters, sending appropriate officers of the Company to attend “roadshows” scheduled in reasonable number and at reasonable times.

(g) The Company will make available for inspection by any Selling Holder, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any such Selling Holder or Underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspectors in connection with such registration statement. Records which the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such registration statement or (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Selling Holder agrees that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company unless and until such is made generally available to the public. Each Selling Holder further agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential.

(h) The Company will furnish to each Selling Holder and to each Underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Selling Holder or Underwriter, of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to the Company and (ii) if eligible under applicable accounting standards, a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company’s independent public accountants, each in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such offering or the managing Underwriter or Underwriters therefore reasonably requests.

(i) The Company will otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of 12 months, beginning within three months after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission).

(j) So long as Common Stock is listed or quoted on any United States securities exchange or quotation system, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

E-12

The Company may require each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities to promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding such Selling Holder, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of distribution of the Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required in connection with such registration.

Section 3.6 Registration Expenses. In connection with any registration statement required to be filed hereunder, the Company shall pay the following registration expenses incurred in connection with the registration hereunder (the “Registration Expenses”): (i) all registration and filing fees, (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (iii) printing expenses, (iv) internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities, (vi) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and customary fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses of any legal opinions or comfort letters or costs associated with the delivery by counsel or independent certified public accountants, as applicable, of an opinion or opinions or comfort letter or comfort letters requested pursuant to Section 3.5(h) hereof), and (vii) the reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.2 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn (other than if such withdrawal (i) is the result of any change, or development that would reasonably be expected to have a change, in the financial markets in the United States or in national financial or economic conditions that would adversely affect the marketability of the offering or (ii) is the result of any change, or development that would reasonably be expected to have a change, in the financial condition or results of operations of the Company that would adversely affect the marketability of the offering, and, in either case, such withdrawal is made with reasonable promptness following such change or development) at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration). If such Holders shall fail to reimburse the Company for such expenses, the Company shall not be obligated to file another Demand Registration Statement for a period of 12 months from the date such registration statement was withdrawn. The Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities, any fees and expenses of counsel to the Underwriters attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities, or any out-of-pocket expenses of the Holders (or the agents who manage their accounts) or any transfer taxes relating to the registration or sale of the Registrable Securities.

Section 3.7 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder, its officers, directors and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) (collectively, “Losses”) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any related

E-13

preliminary prospectus, prospectus or prospectus supplement relating to the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such Losses are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission included or omitted in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnitee or on such Indemnitee’s behalf expressly for inclusion therein. The Company also agrees to indemnify any Underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Selling Holders provided in this Section 3.7. The indemnity provided for in this Section 3.7 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Selling Holder.

Section 3.8 Indemnification by Selling Holders. Each Selling Holder agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Selling Holder, but only with respect to Losses caused by any untrue statement or omission included or omitted in conformity with information relating to such Selling Holder furnished in writing by such Selling Holder or on such Selling Holder’s behalf expressly for use in any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any related preliminary prospectus, prospectus or prospectus supplement relating to the Registrable Securities (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto). In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against the Company or its officers, directors or agents or any such controlling person, in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such Selling Holder, such Selling Holder shall have the rights and duties given to the Company, and the Company or its officers, directors or agents or such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to such Selling Holder, by Section 3.7. Each Selling Holder also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Company provided in this Section 3.8. The liability of any Selling Holder pursuant to this Section 3.8 may not, in any event, exceed the net proceeds received by such Selling Holder from sales of Registrable Securities giving rise to the indemnification obligations of such Selling Holder.

Section 3.9 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 3.7 or Section 3.8, such person (an “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the

E-14

Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them and, in all such cases, the Indemnifying Party shall only be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties not having actual or potential differing interests among them, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm shall be designated in writing by (i) in the case of Persons indemnified pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof, the Selling Holders which owned a majority of the Registrable Securities sold under the applicable registration statement and (ii) in the case of Persons indemnified pursuant to Section 3.8, the Company. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any Loss (to the extent stated above) resulting from such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

Section 3.10 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 3.7 or Section 3.8 hereof is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses , claims, damages or liabilities (i) as between the Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the securities, or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations and (ii) between the Company on the one hand and each Selling Holder on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of each Selling Holder in connection with such statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Holders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the prospectus. The relative fault of the

E-15

Company and the Selling Holders on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Selling Holders or by the Underwriters. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of each Selling Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Indemnifying Party shall not be required to contribute pursuant to this Section 3.10 if there has been a settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent.

The Company and the Selling Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Losses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total commissions and discounts received by such Underwriter in connection with the sale of the securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and no Selling Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds from the sale of the securities of such Selling Holder to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Selling Holder’s obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 3.10 are several in proportion to the proceeds of the offering received by such Selling Holder bears to the total proceeds of the offering received by all the Selling Holders and not joint.

Section 3.11 Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, custodian agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and these registration rights provided for in this Article II.

Section 3.12 Rule 144. Until such date as no Holder owns any Registrable Securities, the Company covenants that it will file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably

E-16

request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Section 3.13 Holdback Agreements.

(a) Temporary Suspension of Rights to Sell Based on Confidential Information or Material Transaction. If the Company determines in its good faith judgment that the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement under Section 3.1 or a Demand Registration under Section 2.2 hereof or the use of any related preliminary prospectus, prospectus or prospectus supplement (i) would require the public disclosure of previously non-public material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential that the Company is not otherwise required by applicable securities laws or regulations to disclose (the “Confidential Information”) or (ii) would materially interfere with any good faith proposal or plan by the Company or any of its Affiliates to engage in any material acquisition, merger, consolidation, tender offer, securities offering or other material transaction, and upon written notice of such determination by the Company, the rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or a Demand Registration or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or a Demand Registration shall be suspended until the date upon which the Company notifies the Holders in writing that suspension of such rights for the grounds set forth in this Section 3.13(a) is no longer necessary; provided, however, in no event shall any such suspension be for more than an aggregate of 120 days in any rolling twelve month period or for more than 90 consecutive days. The Company agrees to give such notice as promptly as practicable following the date that such suspension of rights is no longer necessary. Nothing in this Section 3.13(a) shall prevent a Holder from offering, selling or distributing pursuant to Rule 144 at any time.

(b) Temporary Suspension of Rights to Sell Based on Exchange Act Reports Not Yet Filed or Regulation S-X. (i) If all reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act have not been filed by the required date without regard to any extension, (ii) if the consummation of any business combination by the Company has occurred or is probable for purposes of Rule 3-05 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Act, or (iii) if the Company has acquired or proposes to acquire one or more properties which in the aggregate are significant for purposes of Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, upon written notice thereof by the Company to the Holders, the rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or a Demand Registration or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or a Demand Registration shall be suspended (to the extent required under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) until the date on which the Company has filed such reports or obtained and filed the financial information required by Rule 3-05, Rule 3-14 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X to be included or incorporated by reference, as applicable, in the Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, and the Company shall notify the Holders as promptly as practicable when such suspension is no

E-17

longer required. The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file such reports or obtain and file the financial information required by Rule 3-05, Rule 3-14 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X to be included or incorporated by reference, as applicable, in the Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement as promptly as practicable. Nothing in this Section 3.13(b) shall prevent a Holder from offering, selling or distributing pursuant to Rule 144 at any time.

(c) Restrictions on Public Sale by Holder of Registrable Securities. With respect to underwritten offerings prior to the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement, for so long as the Holder beneficially owns one percent or more of the outstanding Common Stock (assuming conversion of such Holder’s OP Units or other convertible securities but not any other OP Units or convertible securities), each Holder agrees not to sell, offer for sale or otherwise transfer any Registrable Securities during any of the following periods:

(i) unless the lead Underwriter administering the offering otherwise agrees, the period commencing five days prior to the anticipated effective date of a registration statement for any underwritten public offering of Common Stock (or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for the Common Stock) and ending 90 days after such effectiveness; and

(ii) in the case of a Rule 415 registration statement, unless the lead Underwriter administering the offering otherwise agrees, the period commencing five days prior to the anticipated date of the Company’s notice of commencement of distribution in connection with such offering and ending 90 days after the commencement of such distribution.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.13(c):

(i) any applicable period shall terminate on such earlier date as the Company gives notice to the Holders that the Company declines to proceed with any such offering set forth in Section 3.13(c);

(ii) all executive officers and directors of the Company then holding shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock of the Company shall enter into similar agreements for not less than the entire time period required of the Holders hereunder; and

RECITALS

A. WHEREAS, on , 2011, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into several contribution agreements (the “Contribution Agreements”) with the Contributors, which provide for the contribution of various portfolios of primarily single-tenant real estate assets (the “Contributions”) in connection with a proposed initial public offering (the “Public Offering” and together with the Contributions, the “Formation Transactions”) of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”);

B. WHEREAS, each Contributor is the record owner or beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of, and has the right to direct the voting or disposition of, the number of shares of Common Stock, or common units of limited partnership in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”), indicated on the signature page of this Agreement (such shares of common stock and shares of Common Stock issuable upon redemption of the OP Units, the “Shares”); and

C. WHEREAS, as an inducement for (i) XXXX to enter into the limited liability company agreement (the “JV Agreement”) of STAG GI INVESTMENTS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“STAG GI”), and (ii) each of the Contributors to enter into such Contributor’s Contribution Agreement with the Company and the Operating Partnership, and as part of the conditions to the consummation of the Formation Transactions, the Company desires to agree to provide XXXX the right to select up to two individuals to be nominated to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), and each Contributor desires to agree to vote the Shares over which the Contributor has voting power as described below;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Initial Board of Directors.

(a) If XXXX, through its interest in STAG GI, receives beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 10% or more of the total OP Units issued by the Operating Partnership in the Contributions, then immediately following the Public Offering, the Board shall consist of seven directors, at least five of whom will be Independent Directors (as defined below), each of whom will serve a one-year term and two of whom shall have been selected by XXXX. Of the two directors to be selected by XXXX, both must be Qualified Nominees (as defined below) and at least one must qualify as an Independent Director and qualify to serve as chairperson

G-2

of at least one of the compensation, audit, nominating and investment committees of the Board and will be required to serve as chairperson of one of the aforesaid committees; provided, however, the composition of the Board and each committee thereof shall satisfy all listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. XXXX agrees to notify the Company of its proposed appointments for the initial Board at least one week in advance of the expected filing of the first amendment to the registration statement for the Public Offering, together with any information regarding such appointees as the Company reasonably requests.

(b) “Independent Director” means an individual who qualifies as an “independent director” under the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.

(c) “Qualified Nominee” means an individual (i) who is not a competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or an affiliate of a competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as reasonably determined by the Board, (ii) who does not have a material conflict of interest in serving as a member of the Board or would be unable to comply with the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics and corporate governance guidelines, as reasonably determined by the Board, (iii) with respect to whom none of the events described in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any successor regulation), has occurred in the prior 10 years and (iv) whose nomination and recommendation by the Board, in the good faith determination of the Board, would not be inconsistent with the Board’s duties to the Company and its stockholders. For purposes of this definition, a managing director or director of GI Partners shall not be deemed to be a competitor or an affiliate of a competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or to have a material conflict of interest in serving as a member of the Board by reason of such position or any ownership interest in GI Partners or its subsidiaries.

2. Agreement to Nominate Directors.

(a) If XXXX, through its interest in STAG GI, receives beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 10% or more of the total OP Units issued by the Operating Partnership in the Contributions, then from the date hereof until the Expiration Date (defined below) and subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, at every annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company relating to the election of members of the Board, the Company shall cause two individuals selected by XXXX (both of whom must be Qualified Nominees and at least one of whom must be an Independent Director and qualify to serve as chairperson of at least one of the compensation, audit, nominating and investment committees of the Board and will be required to serve as chairperson of one of the aforesaid committees) to be nominated for election to the Board; provided, however, the composition of the Board and each committee thereof shall satisfy all listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.

(b) If at any time while the Company’s obligations under this Section 2 are in effect, the Board shall be classified with the result that directors serve for terms of greater than one year, the Company shall not be required to make any nominations otherwise required under this Section 2, except at an annual meeting at which the term of an individual nominated pursuant to this Section 2 and elected to the Board in connection with such nomination (a “GI Director”), is scheduled to expire; provided that if the Board shall be classified, the GI Directors shall be placed in different classes.
