Ladies and Gentlemen:

Xxxxx Securities, Inc., Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx & Co. Incorporated, Berenberg Capital Markets LLC, Colliers Securities LLC, Compass Point Research & Trading, LLC, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx LLC, Citizens JMP Securities, LLC, X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx & Company, Inc., Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Company, Incorporated, Truist Securities, Inc. and Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC (each, in its capacity as agent and/or principal under any Terms Agreement (as defined below) for the Company in connection with the offering and sale of any Issuance Shares (as defined in Section 1 below), individually an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents,” and except in the case of Berenberg Capital Markets LLC, Colliers Securities LLC, Compass Point Research & Trading, LLC, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx LLC and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx & Company, Inc., in its capacity as agent for its related Forward Purchaser (as defined below), if any, in connection with the offering and sale of any Forward Hedge Shares (as defined below) hereunder, each a “Forward Seller” and, collectively, the “Forward Sellers”) and with Bank of Montreal, X. Xxxxx Securities, Inc., Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx & Co. Incorporated, Citizens JMP Securities, LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Company, Incorporated, Truist Bank and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association (each, in its capacity as purchaser under any Forward Contract (as defined below), a “Forward Purchaser,” and collectively, the “Forward Purchasers”), as follows, it being understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (A) if Shares (as defined below) are offered or sold through any Agent acting as Forward Seller, then such Agent, as Forward Seller, shall be acting solely as sales agent for the applicable Forward Purchaser and not as sales agent for the Company with respect to the offering and sale of such Shares, (B) if Shares are offered or sold through any Agent acting as sales agent for the Company, then such Agent shall be acting solely in its capacity as sales agent for the Company, and not as sales agent for any Forward Purchaser, with respect to the offering and sale of such Shares and (C) any Agent or affiliate of any Agent may become a Forward Purchaser by entering into a Master Forward Confirmation with the Company and entering into a joinder with respect to this Agreement:

1)            Issuance and Sale of Shares. The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell through the Agents, acting as agents and/or principals, and the Forward Purchasers may sell through the Forward Sellers, up to an aggregate of $300,000,000 of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company issue or sell through or to the Agents or the Forward Purchasers sell through the Forward Sellers such number or dollar amount of Shares that would (a) exceed the number or dollar amount of Shares registered on the Registration Statement (defined below) pursuant to which the offering is being made, (b) exceed the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock less any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any outstanding securities of the Company or otherwise reserved from the Company’s authorized share capital or (c) exceed the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock for which the Company has filed a Prospectus Supplement (defined below) (the lesser of (a), (b) and (c), the “Maximum Amount”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitation set forth in this Section 1 on the number of Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company, and the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The offer and sale of Shares through the Agents and Forward Sellers will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below) filed by the Company and automatically deemed effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 22, 2023, although nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement to issue Shares. As used in this Agreement, Xxxxxx sold through the Agents acting as sales agents for the Company shall be referred to as “Issuance Shares” and Shares sold through the Forward Sellers shall be referred to as “Forward Hedge Shares” (as defined in Section 22 below). A sale of Issuance Shares shall be referred to under this Agreement as an “Issuance.” For the avoidance of doubt, references to Shares shall not be deemed to include Forward Settlement Shares (as defined below). The Company may also offer to sell the Shares directly to an Agent, as principal, in which event such parties shall enter into a separate agreement (each, a “Terms Agreement”) in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (with such changes thereto as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Agent to accommodate a transaction involving additional underwriters), relating to such sale in accordance with Section 3(h) of this Agreement (each such transaction being referred to as a “Principal Transaction”). As used herein, the “Term” shall be the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of (x) the date on which the aggregate Gross Sales Price of Shares issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreement equal to the Maximum Amount and (y) any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.

The Company has filed, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-276248), including a base prospectus, relating to certain securities, including the Shares to be issued from time to time by the Company, and which incorporates by reference documents that the Company has filed or will file in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”). The Company has prepared a prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Shares (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the base prospectus included as part of such registration statement. The Company will furnish to the Agents, the Forward Purchasers and the Forward Sellers, for use by the Agents, the Forward Purchasers and the Forward Sellers, copies of the prospectus included as part of such registration statement, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, relating to the Shares. Except where the context otherwise requires, such registration statement, on each date and time that such registration statement and any post-effective amendment thereto became or becomes effective, including all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, and including any information contained in a Prospectus (as defined below) subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or deemed to be a part of such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B or 462(b) of the Securities Act, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” The base prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, included in the Registration Statement, as it may be supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form in which such prospectus and/or Prospectus Supplement have most recently been filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, together with any “issuer free writing prospectus” (a “Free Writing Prospectus”), as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act (“Rule 433”), relating to the Shares that (i) is required to be filed with the Commission by the Company or (ii) is exempt from filing pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) in each case in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g), is herein called the “Prospectus.” The Company may file one or more additional registration statements (which shall be the Registration Statement) from time to time that will contain a base prospectus and related prospectus or prospectus supplement, if applicable (which shall be the Prospectus Supplement), with respect to the Shares. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein, and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing after the execution hereof of any document with the Commission deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (“XXXXX”).

Placements.

Each time that the Company wishes to execute any Issuance or enter into a Forward hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it will notify, in the case of an Issuance, an Agent (the “Designated Agent”) or, in the case of a Forward, a Forward Seller (the “Designated Forward Seller”) and a Forward Purchaser (the “Designated Forward Purchaser”) by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) containing, (a) in the case of an Issuance, the parameters in accordance with which it desires to effect the Issuance, which shall at a minimum include the aggregate dollar amount of the requested Issuance, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, and any limitation on the number of Shares that may be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made, and such email notice may be in the form of the placement notice (a “Placement Notice”), a form of which containing such minimum sales parameters is attached hereto as Schedule 1 and (b) in the case of a Forward, a Forward Placement Notice (as defined below). The Placement Notice or Forward Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals from the Company set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Company listed on such schedule), and shall be addressed to each of the individuals from the Designated Agent or Designated Forward Seller and Designated Forward Purchaser set forth on Schedule 2, as such Schedule 2 may be amended from time to time. The Placement Notice or Forward Placement Notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Designated Agent or Designated Forward Seller and Designated Forward Purchaser, as applicable, unless and until (i) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, the Designated Agent or Designated Forward Seller and Designated Forward Purchaser declines to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion, (ii) the entire amount of the Shares have been sold, (iii) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, the Company suspends or terminates the Placement Notice or Forward Placement Notice, (iv) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice or Forward Placement Notice with parameters superseding those on the earlier dated Placement Notice or Forward Placement Notice, or (v) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 11; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice or their respective obligations under any Terms Agreement. The amount of compensation to be paid by the Company to the Designated Agent in connection with the sale of the Shares shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 3 attached hereto provided, however, that such compensation shall not apply when the Agent acts as principal, in which case such commission or a discount shall be set forth in the applicable Terms Agreement. The amount of any discount, commission or other compensation to be reflected in the Initial Forward Price (as defined in the applicable Master Forward Confirmation) in connection with a Forward shall be determined pursuant to the terms of the applicable Master Forward Confirmation based on the Forward Hedge Selling Commission Rate (as defined below). It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor the Designated Agent, the Designated Forward Seller or the Designated Forward Purchaser will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or a Forward or any Shares unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to the Designated Agent or a Forward Placement Notice to the Designated Forward Purchaser and Designated Forward Seller and the Designated Agent, the Designated Forward Seller or Designated Forward Purchaser, as applicable, does not decline such Placement Notice or accepts such Forward Placement Notice, as applicable, pursuant to the terms set forth above (or, with respect to a Forward Placement Notice where the terms of such Forward Placement Notice are amended by the Designated Forward Seller or Designated Forward Purchaser, the Company accepts such amended terms by means of a Forward Acceptance), and then only upon the terms specified therein and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice or Forward Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice or Forward Placement Notice will control.

No Forward Placement Notice may be delivered hereunder (i) other than on a Trading Day (as defined in Section 3(a) below) during the term of this Agreement, (ii) if the Forward Hedge Selling Period specified therein would overlap in whole or in part with any Forward Hedge Selling Period specified in any other Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance (as defined in Section 3(e) below), if applicable) delivered hereunder unless the Forward Hedge Shares to be sold under all such previously delivered Forward Placement Notices have all been sold, (iii) if any Forward Hedge Selling Period specified therein would overlap in whole or in part with any Unwind Period under (and as defined in) any Forward Contract entered into between the Company and any Forward Purchaser, or (iv) if such Forward Placement Notice, together with all prior Forward Placement Notices delivered by the Company hereunder, would result in the aggregate Capped Number under all Forward Contracts entered into or to be entered into between the Company and the Forward Purchaser exceeding 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this Agreement or as of the date of such Forward Placement Notice.

Sale of Shares by the Designated Agent and the Designated Forward Seller.

Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, upon the Company’s issuance of a Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Shares described therein has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Designated Agent, for the period specified in the Placement Notice, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), to sell such Shares up to the amount specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. The Designated Agent will provide written confirmation to the Company no later than the opening of the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Shares sold on such day, the prices at which such Shares were sold, the gross proceeds from such sales, the compensation payable by the Company to the Designated Agent pursuant to Section 2 with respect to such sales, and the Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to the Company, with an itemization of the deductions made by the Designated Agent (as set forth in Section 5(a)) from the gross proceeds that it receives from such sales. Subject to the terms of the Placement Notice, the Designated Agent may sell Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through the Exchange or any other existing trading market for the shares of Common Stock, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices and/or any other method permitted by law. “Trading Day” means any day on which Common Stock is purchased and sold on the Exchange.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Master Forward Confirmation, a Designated Forward Seller shall act as sales agent for its related Designated Forward Purchaser and agrees with the Company and such Designated Forward Purchaser to use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell the Forward Hedge Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof and of the applicable Forward Placement Notice, as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable (each such transaction, as defined in Section 22 below, being referred to as a “Forward Related Transaction”). None of the Company, the Designated Forward Purchaser nor the Designated Forward Seller shall have any obligation to enter into a Forward Related Transaction.

Subject to the provisions of the applicable Master Forward Confirmation, the Designated Forward Seller will provide written confirmation to the Company and the Designated Forward Purchaser no later than the close of the Trading Day immediately following the date on which it has made any sales of Forward Hedge Shares setting forth the number of Forward Hedge Shares sold on such day and the volume-weighted average of the price per Forward Hedge Share sold on such day. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Master Forward Confirmation, the Designated Forward Purchaser will provide a “Supplemental Confirmation” (as defined in the applicable Master Forward Confirmation) no later than the close of the Trading Day next following the Effective Date under the relevant Forward setting forth the “Trade Date” (which shall, subject to the terms of the applicable Master Forward Confirmation, be the last Trading Day of the applicable Forward Hedge Selling Period), the “Effective Date” (which shall, subject to the terms of the applicable Master Forward Confirmation, be the date one Settlement Cycle (as such term is defined in the applicable Master Forward Confirmation) immediately following the last Trading Day of the applicable Forward Hedge Selling Period), the initial “Number of Shares” (which shall be the Actual Sold Forward Amount for such Forward Hedge Selling Period), the “Maturity Date” (which shall, subject to the terms of the applicable Master Forward Confirmation, be the date set forth opposite the caption “Maturity Date” in the related Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable)), the “Forward Hedge Selling Commission Rate” (as set forth in the related Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable)), the “Initial Forward Price,” the “Spread” (as set forth in the related Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable)), the “Volume-Weighted Hedge Price,” the “Threshold Price,” the “Initial Stock Loan Rate” (as set forth in the related Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable)), the “Maximum Stock Loan Rate” (as set forth in the related Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable)), the “Forward Price Reduction Dates” (which shall be each of the dates set forth below the caption “Forward Price Reduction Dates” in the related Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable)), the “Forward Price Reduction Amounts” corresponding to such Forward Price Reduction Dates (which shall be each amount set forth opposite each “Forward Price Reduction Date” and below the caption “Forward Price Reduction Amounts” in the related Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable)) and “Regular Dividend Amounts” (which shall be each of the amount(s) set forth below the caption “Regular Dividend Amounts per Calendar Quarter” in the related Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable)) for such Forward. Subject to the terms of the related Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable), sales of the Forward Hedge Shares, if any, by the Designated Forward Seller will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Exchange, by means of negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. In the event that either (i) a Designated Forward Purchaser (or an agent thereof) is unable to borrow and deliver any Shares for sale with respect to an instruction under this Agreement after using commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices for similar transactions and applicable law and regulation, or (ii) in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Designated Forward Purchaser, such Designated Forward Purchaser (or its agent) would incur a stock loan cost that is equal to or greater than the “Maximum Stock Loan Rate” (as set forth shall in the related Forward Placement Notice, as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable) to do so, then the obligation herein of the applicable Designated Forward Seller with respect to sales of Shares in connection with such instruction shall only extend to the aggregate number of Shares that the Designated Forward Purchaser (or its agent) is able to so borrow below such cost.

On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the applicable Master Forward Confirmation, upon the Designated Forward Purchaser’s and the Designated Forward Seller’s acceptance of the terms of a Forward Placement Notice or upon receipt by the Designated Forward Purchaser and the Designated Forward Seller of a Forward Acceptance, as the case may be, and unless the sale of the Forward Hedge Shares described therein has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Master Forward Confirmation, the Designated Forward Purchaser will use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow or cause its affiliate to borrow a number of Forward Hedge Shares that the Designated Forward Purchaser expects to have an aggregate Forward Sales Price equal to the Forward Hedge Amount specified in such Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable) and the Designated Forward Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Forward Hedge Shares and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Designated Forward Purchaser’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to borrow (or cause its affiliate to borrow) all or any portion of the Forward Hedge Shares (and the Designated Forward Seller’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such portion of the Forward Hedge Shares) for any Forward Related Transaction hereunder in accordance with the terms of the relevant Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable) hereunder shall be subject in all respects to the applicable Master Forward Confirmation. Each of the Company and the Designated Forward Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Designated Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) will be successful in borrowing, or that the Designated Forward Seller will be successful in selling, Forward Hedge Shares, (ii) the Designated Forward Seller will incur no liability or obligation to the Company, the Designated Forward Purchaser or any other person or entity if it does not sell Forward Hedge Shares borrowed by the Designated Forward Purchaser for any reason other than a failure by the Designated Forward Seller to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Forward Hedge Shares as required under this Section 3(d), and (iii) the Designated Forward Purchaser will incur no liability or obligation to the Company, the Designated Forward Seller or any other person or entity if it (or its affiliate) does not borrow Forward Hedge Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Designated Forward Purchaser to use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow (or cause its affiliate to borrow) such Forward Hedge Shares as required under this Section 3(d). In acting hereunder, the Designated Forward Seller will be acting as agent for the Designated Forward Purchaser and not as principal.

If the Designated Forward Seller and the Designated Forward Purchaser wish to accept such proposed terms included in a Forward Placement Notice (which they may decline to do for any reason in their sole discretion) or, following discussion with the Company, wish to accept amended terms, the Designated Forward Seller and the Designated Forward Purchaser will promptly, and in any event prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day on which such Forward Placement Notice was delivered to the Designated Forward Seller and the Designated Forward Purchaser, issue to the Company a notice by email (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) addressed to all of the individuals from the Company and the Designated Forward Seller and the Designated Forward Purchaser set forth on Schedule 2, setting forth the terms that the Designated Forward Seller and the Designated Forward Purchaser are willing to accept. Where the terms provided in a Forward Placement Notice are amended as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, such terms will not be binding on the Company or the Designated Forward Seller and the Designated Forward Purchaser until the Company delivers to the Designated Forward Seller and the Designated Forward Purchaser an acceptance by email (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties), no later than 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Trading Day following the Trading Day on which such Forward Placement Notice was delivered, of all of the terms of such Forward Placement Notice, as amended (a "Forward Acceptance"), which email shall be addressed to all of the individuals from the Company and the Designated Forward Seller and the Designated Forward Purchaser set forth on Schedule 2. A Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable) shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of the Designated Forward Seller's and the Designated Forward Purchaser's acceptance of the terms of such Forward Placement Notice or upon receipt by the Designated Forward Seller and the Designated Forward Purchaser of the Company's Forward Acceptance, as the case may be, unless and until (1) the entire amount of the Forward Hedge Shares has been sold, (2) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth herein, the Company terminates such Forward Placement Notice, (3) the Company issues a subsequent Forward Placement Notice with parameters superseding those on the earlier dated Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable), (4) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 11 or (5) any party shall have suspended the sale of the Forward Hedge Shares in accordance with Section 4. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Company, the Designated Forward Seller and the Designated Forward Purchaser will have no obligation whatsoever with respect to a Forward Placement Notice or any Forward Hedge Shares unless and until the Company delivers a Forward Placement Notice to the Designated Forward Seller and the Designated Forward Purchaser and either (x) the Designated Forward Seller and the Designated Forward Purchaser accept the terms of such Forward Placement Notice or (y) where the terms of such Forward Placement Notice are amended by the Designated Forward Seller or the Designated Forward Purchaser, the Company accepts such amended terms by means of a Forward Acceptance pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified in the Forward Placement Notice as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, this Agreement and the applicable Master Forward Confirmation.

Without the prior written consent of the Designated Agent or the Designated Forward Seller, as applicable, the Company shall not request the sale of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement (whether in an Issuance, a Forward Related Transaction or a Principal Transaction) that would be sold, and the Designated Agent and the Designated Forward Seller need not make any sale of Shares, (i) during any period in which the Company is, or reasonably could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information or (ii) except as provided in Section 3(g) below, at any time from and including the date on which the Company issues a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other operating results for a fiscal period or periods (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) until the opening of trading on the first Business Day after the time that the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same fiscal period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement.

If the Company wishes to execute an Issuance or Forward at any time during the period from and including an Earnings Announcement until the opening of trading on the first Business Day after the time that the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company shall (i) prepare and deliver to the Agents, the Forward Purchasers and the Forward Sellers (with a copy to their counsel) a Current Report on Form 8-K, which shall include substantially the same financial and related information as was set forth in the relevant Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings projections, similar forward-looking data and officers’ quotations) (each, an “Earnings 8-K”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, the Forward Purchasers and the Forward Sellers, (ii) provide the Agents, the Forward Purchasers and the Forward Sellers with the opinions/letters of counsel, accountant's letter and officers' certificate called for by Sections 8(e), (f), (g), and (h); respectively, (iii) afford the Agents, the Forward Purchasers and the Forward Sellers the opportunity to conduct a due diligence review in accordance with Section 8(o) hereof and (iv) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission, then the provisions of clause (ii) of Section 7(f) shall not be applicable for the period from and after the time at which the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied (or, if later, the opening of trading on the first Business Day after the time that the relevant Earnings Announcement was publicly released) until the opening of trading on the first Business Day after the Filing Time of the relevant Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that (A) the delivery of any officers’ certificate, opinions/letters of counsel and accountant’s letter pursuant to this Section 7(g) shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, including, without limitation, the obligation to deliver officers’ certificates, opinions/letters of counsel and accountants’ letters as provided in Section 8 hereof and (B) this Section 7(g) shall in no way affect or limit the operation of the provisions of Section 7(f), which shall have independent application.

	h)	(i) If the Company wishes to issue and sell the Shares pursuant to this Agreement but other than as set forth in Sections 3(a)-(e) of this Agreement, it will notify the Designated Agent of the proposed terms of the Principal Transaction. If the Designated Agent, acting as principal, wishes to accept such proposed terms (which it may decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussions with the Company, wishes to accept amended terms, the Company and the Agent shall enter into a Terms Agreement setting forth the terms of such Principal Transaction.

		(ii) The terms set forth in a Terms Agreement shall not be binding on the Company or the Designated Agent unless and until the Company and the Designated Agent have each executed and delivered such Terms Agreement accepting all of the terms of such Terms Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement shall control.

Each sale of the Shares to the Designated Agent in a Principal Transaction shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and a Terms Agreement, which shall provide for the sale of such Shares to, and the purchase thereof by, the Designated Agent. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Shares by the Designated Agent.

Any such Terms Agreement shall specify the number of the Shares to be purchased by the Designated Agent pursuant thereto, the price to be paid to the Company for such Shares, any provisions relating to rights of, and default by, underwriters, if any, acting together with the Designated Agent in the reoffering of the Shares, and the time and date (each such time and date being referred to herein as a “Principal Settlement Date”) and place of delivery of and payment for such Shares.

Suspension of Sales. The Company, the Designated Agent or the Designated Forward Seller may, upon notice to the other party in writing (including by email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 2, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) or by telephone (confirmed immediately by verifiable facsimile transmission or email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 2), suspend any Issuance or, with respect to a Forward, suspend any sale of Shares and thereby immediately terminate the applicable Forward Hedge Selling Period; provided however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair either party’s obligations with respect to any Issuance Shares or Forward Hedge Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice (including, with respect to any Forward, the obligation to enter into the resulting Forward Contract). Each of the parties agrees that no such notice under this Section 4 shall be effective against any other party unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Schedule 2, as such Schedule 2 may be amended from time to time.

Settlement.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Issuance Shares will occur on the second (2^nd) Trading Day (or such earlier day as is required by Rule 15c6-1(a) of the Exchange Act or as required by industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each, an “Agency Settlement Date”; and any Agency Settlement Date and Principal Settlement Date shall be referred to as a “Settlement Date”). The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Company on an Agency Settlement Date against receipt of the Issuance Shares sold (the “Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate sales price tendered to the Designated Agent for the sale of Issuance Shares, after deduction for (i) the Designated Agent’s compensation for such sales payable by the Company pursuant to Section 2 hereof, (ii) any other amounts due and payable by the Company to the Designated Agent hereunder pursuant to Section 7(h) (Expenses) hereof, and (iii) any transaction fees imposed in respect of such sales by any Governmental Authority.

Delivery of Issuance Shares. On or before each Settlement Date, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Issuance Shares being sold by crediting the Designated Agent’s or its designee’s account (provided the Designated Agent shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto which in all cases shall be freely tradeable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form. On each Settlement Date, the Designated Agent will deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated by the Company on, or prior to, the Settlement Date. The Company agrees that if the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), defaults in its obligation to deliver Issuance Shares on a Settlement Date, in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 9 (Indemnification and Contribution) below, it will (i) hold the Designated Agent harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) and (ii) pay to the Designated Agent any commission, discount, or other compensation to which it would otherwise have been entitled absent such default.

Delivery of Forward Hedge Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Forward Acceptance, if applicable), settlement for sales of Forward Hedge Shares will occur on the second (2nd) Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each such settlement date, a “Forward Hedge Settlement Date”). On or before each Forward Hedge Settlement Date, the Designated Forward Purchaser will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Forward Hedge Shares being sold by crediting the Designated Forward Seller or its designee’s account (provided that the Designated Forward Seller shall have given the Designated Forward Purchaser written notice of such designee prior to the relevant Forward Hedge Settlement Date) at DTC through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form. On each Forward Hedge Settlement Date, the Designated Forward Seller will deliver to the Designated Forward Purchaser an amount equal to the product of (x) the Actual Sold Forward Amount during such period, (y) an amount equal to one (1) minus the Forward Hedge Selling Commission Rate for the applicable Forward Contract and (z) the Volume-Weighted Hedge Price for such period (such product, the “Aggregate Forward Hedge Price”) in same day funds to an account designated by the Designated Forward Purchaser prior to the relevant Forward Hedge Settlement Date, or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the Designated Forward Seller and the Designated Forward Purchaser.

Sales Through Agents and Forward Sellers. The Company agrees that any offer to sell Shares, any solicitation of an offer to buy Shares, or any sales of Shares shall only be effected by or through a Designated Agent or a Designated Forward Seller, and only a single Designated Agent or Designated Forward Seller, on any single given day, and the Company shall in no event request that more than one Agent or Forward Seller sell Shares on the same day.

Representation Dates; Certificate. On or prior to the date that the first Shares are sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and each time the Company (i) files the Prospectus relating to the Shares or amends or supplements (other than by means of a prospectus supplement relating solely to an offering of securities other than the Shares) the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Shares by means of a post-effective amendment, sticker, or supplement but not by means of incorporation of documents by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Shares; (ii) files an Annual Report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act; (iii) files its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act; (iv) files a Current Report on Form 8-K containing amended financial information (other than information furnished pursuant to Items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K or to provide disclosure pursuant to Item 8.01 of Form 8-K relating to the reclassifications of certain properties as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144) under the Exchange Act; or (v) has been reasonably requested by the Agents (each date of an event referred to in clauses (i) through (vi) shall be a “Representation Date”); the Company and the Operating Partnership shall furnish the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers (but in the case of clause (iv) above only if an Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser reasonably determines that the information contained in such Form 8-K is material) with a certificate, in the form and substance satisfactory to the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers and their counsel, substantially similar to the form previously provided to the Agents, Forward Sellers or Forward Purchasers and their counsel within five Trading Days of any Representation Date or, in the case of a Representation Date resulting from a Principal Settlement Date, delivered on such Principal Settlement Date, if requested by the Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser. The requirement to provide a certificate under this Section 7(n) is hereby waived for any Representation Date occurring at a time at which no Placement Notice is pending, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Company delivers a Placement Notice hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date) and the next occurring Representation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares or enter into a Forward following a Representation Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not provide the Agents, Forward Sellers or Forward Purchasers with a certificate under this Section 7(n), then before the Company delivers the Placement Notice or the Agents, Forward Sellers or Forward Purchasers sell any Shares, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall provide the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers with a certificate substantially similar to the form previously provided to the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers and their counsel, dated the date of the Placement Notice.

Comfort Letter. On or prior to the date that the first Shares are sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and within three (3) Trading Days of each Representation Date or, in the case of a Representation Date resulting from a Principal Settlement Date, delivered on such Principal Settlement Date, with respect to which the Company and the Operating Partnership are obligated to deliver a certificate pursuant to Section 7(n) for which no waiver is applicable, the Company shall cause its independent accountants (and any other independent accountants whose report is included in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus) to furnish the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers letters (the “Comfort Letters”), dated the date of the Comfort Letter is delivered, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers, (i) confirming that they are an independent registered public accounting firm within the meaning of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the PCAOB, (ii) stating, as of such date, the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters in connection with registered public offerings (the first such letter, the “Initial Comfort Letter”) and (iii) updating the Initial Comfort Letter with any information that would have been included in the Initial Comfort Letter had it been given on such date and modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter.

Market Activities. The Company will not, directly or indirectly, violate the provisions of Regulation M of the Securities Act that are applicable to it. If either party has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are not satisfied with respect to the Shares, it shall promptly notify the other party and sales of the Shares under this Agreement, any acceptance of a Placement Notice or any Terms Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party. On or prior to the delivery of a prospectus that is required (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Act or any similar rule) in connection with the offering or sale of the Shares, the Company shall calculate the average daily trading volume (as defined under “ADTV” by Rule 100 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock based on market data provided by Bloomberg L.P. or such other sources as agreed upon by the Company and the Agents.

Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries shall maintain, or caused to be maintained, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as is commercially reasonable and customary for companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries, except where the failure to maintain such insurance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Compliance with Laws. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, all material environmental permits, licenses and other authorizations required by federal, state and local law in order to conduct their businesses as described in the Prospectus, and the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall conduct their businesses, or cause their businesses to be conducted, in substantial compliance with such permits, licenses and authorizations and with applicable Environmental Laws, except where the failure to maintain or be in compliance with such permits, licenses and authorizations would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

REIT Treatment. The Company currently intends to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code and will use commercially reasonable efforts to enable the Company to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for subsequent tax years that include any portion of the term of this Agreement or any Terms Agreement.

Securities Act and Exchange Act. The Company will use its best efforts to comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of, or dealings in, the Shares as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus.

No Offer to Sell. Other than a free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) approved in advance in writing by the Company and the Agents and Forward Sellers in their capacity as principals or agents hereunder, neither the Agents nor the Company (including its agents and representatives, other than the Agents in their capacity as such) will, directly or indirectly, make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to any free writing prospectus relating to the Shares to be sold by the Agents or Forward Seller as principals or agents hereunder unless such free writing prospectus is used by the Agents or Forward Sellers and is not required to be filed with the Commission.

Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. The Company and the Subsidiaries will maintain and keep accurate books and records reflecting their assets and maintain internal accounting controls in a manner designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US GAAP and including those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, (iii) that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with management’s and the Company’s directors’ authorization, and (iv) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements. The Company and the Subsidiaries will maintain such controls and other procedures, including, without limitation, those required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, and the applicable regulations thereunder that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to ensure that material information relating to the Company or the Subsidiaries is made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which such periodic reports are being prepared.

Transfer Agent. The Company shall maintain, at its expense, a registrar and transfer agent for the Common Stock.

Reservation and Listing of Shares. In respect to any Forward, a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Capped Number shall be reserved for issuance by the Board of Directors. During any Forward Hedge Selling Period or period in which the Prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered by any Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser under the Act with respect to a pending sale of the Shares (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Act), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the relevant Shares to be listed on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance.

Registration Statement Effective. The Registration Statement shall be effective and shall be available for the sale of all Shares contemplated to be issued by any Placement Notice.

No Material Notices. None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) receipt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any request for additional information from the Commission or any other Governmental Authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the response to which would require any post-effective amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other Governmental Authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act; (iii) receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related Prospectus or such documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

ii)

against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided, that (subject to Section 9(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld; and

iii)

against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission (whether or not a party), to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above, provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made solely in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agents’, Forward Sellers’ or Forward Purchasers’ Information (as defined below).

Indemnification by the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers. Each Agent, Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser, severally but not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership and their respective directors and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 9(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendments thereto), the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser and furnished to the Company in writing by the Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser expressly for use therein. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Agent, the Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser has furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in the ninth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” and first paragraph under the subheading “Other Relationships” under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus (the “Agents’, Forward Sellers’ and Forward Purchasers’ Information”).

Procedure. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 9 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 9, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from (i) any liability that it might have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9 and (ii) any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provision of this Section 9 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any other legal expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the engagement of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that prohibits counsel from representing both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action or counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in each case, within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action; in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm (plus local counsel). All such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. An indemnifying party will not, in any event, be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 9 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (1) includes an express and unconditional release of each indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (2) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 9(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (1) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (2) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (3) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 9 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable or insufficient from the Company, the Operating Partnership or an Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser, the Company, the Operating Partnership and such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted) to which the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand and the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers on the other hand. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand and the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company (which shall be deemed to include the proceeds that would be received by the Company upon physical settlement of any Forward Settlement Shares sold under any Forward Contract assuming that the aggregate amount payable by the applicable Forward Purchaser under such Forward Contract is equal to the aggregate amount of the net proceeds realized upon the sales of the Forward Hedge Shares) bear to the total compensation received by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers from the sale of the Shares. For purposes of the foregoing, the relative benefits for the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to (1) in the case of any Agent, the total amount of compensation to be paid by the Company to such Agent in connection with the sale of such Issuance Shares, (2) in the case of any Forward Seller, the number of Forward Hedge Shares sold by such Forward Seller in respect of each Forward under this Agreement, multiplied by the Forward Hedge Selling Commission Rate for such Forward Contract, and (3) in the case of any Forward Purchaser, the number of Forward Hedge Shares sold to hedge each Forward Contract executed by it in connection with this Agreement multiplied by the net Spread (as such term is defined in the relevant Forward Contract and net of any related stock borrow costs or other costs or expenses actually incurred) multiplied by the Aggregate Forward Hedge Price for such Forward Hedge Shares. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing but also the relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and such Agent, Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omission that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Operating Partnership or such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Operating Partnership and each Agent, Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 9(e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 9(e) shall be deemed to include, for the purpose of this Section 9(e), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with Section 9(c) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(e), the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the commissions received by it under this Agreement or, in the case of a Principal Transaction, any Terms Agreement and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9(e), any person who controls a party to this Agreement or, in the case of a Principal Transaction, any Terms Agreement within the meaning of the Securities Act, any affiliates of an Agent, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers and any officers, directors, partners, employees or agents of an Agents, Forward Sellers or Forward Purchasers or any of their affiliates, will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each director of the Company and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 9(e), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 9(e) except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution is sought. Except for a settlement entered into pursuant to the last sentence of Section 9(c) hereof, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 9(c) hereof. The Agents’, Forward Sellers’ and Forward Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9(e) are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have sold hereunder, and not joint.

10)

Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 9 of this Agreement and all representations and warranties of the Company and the Operating Partnership herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive, as of their respective dates, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents, Forward Sellers or Forward Purchasers (or any of their directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, controlling persons or affiliates), or the Company or the Operating Partnership (or any of their respective officers, directors or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Shares and payment therefor, (iii) a Principal Settlement under a Terms Agreement, (iv) the settlement of any Forward Contracts or (v) any termination of this Agreement.

11)

Termination.

An Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, as hereinafter specified at any time (1) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the date as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the business, properties, earnings, results of operations or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, which individually or in the aggregate, in the sole judgment of such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to market the Shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares, (2) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares, (3) if trading in the Common Stock has been suspended or limited by the Commission or the Exchange, or if trading generally on the Exchange has been suspended or limited, or minimum prices for trading have been fixed on the Exchange, (4) if any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall have occurred and be continuing, (5) if a major disruption of securities settlements or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred and be continuing, or (6) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either U.S. Federal or New York authorities. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(h) (Expenses), Section 9 (Indemnification and Contribution), Section 10 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery), Section 16 (Governing Law and Time; Waiver of Jury Trial) and Section 17 (Consent to Jurisdiction) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

The Company and the Operating Partnership shall have the right, by giving three (3) days’ notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in their sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(h), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 17 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. In the case of any sale by the Company pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the obligations of the Company pursuant to such Terms Agreement and this Agreement may not be terminated by the Company without the prior written consent of the Agents or as otherwise set forth in the Terms Agreement.

Each of the Agents, Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser shall have the right, by giving three (3) days’ notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(h), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 17 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

In the case of any purchase by an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the obligations of such Agent pursuant to such Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination by such Agent at any time prior to or at the Principal Settlement Date if since the time of execution of the Terms Agreement or the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by any of the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York state authorities, (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, solely in the case of events and conditions described in this clause or (iv), in such Agent’s judgment, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus or such Terms Agreement. If an Agent elects to terminate its obligations pursuant to this Section 11(d), the Company shall be notified promptly in writing.

This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date on which all of the Shares have been sold pursuant to this Agreement except that the provisions of Section 7(h), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 17 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 11(a), (b), (c) or (e) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided however, that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 7(h), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 17 shall remain in full force and effect.

Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided however, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by an Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Shares, such Shares shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a “Supplemental Confirmation” required to be executed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement has not been executed on or prior to the date of any termination of this Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement as they relate to the Forward Contract for the relevant Forward Hedge Selling Period shall survive such termination until such “Supplemental Confirmation” has been executed or deemed effective pursuant to such Forward Contract.

12)

Each party to this Agreement may change such address for notices by sending to the parties to this Agreement written notice of a new address for such purpose. Each such notice or other communication shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally or by verifiable facsimile transmission (with an original to follow) on or before 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day, (ii) on the next Business Day after timely delivery to a nationally-recognized overnight courier and (iii) on the Business Day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid). For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any day on which the Exchange and commercial banks in the City of New York are open for business.

13)           Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and any Terms Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company, the Operating Partnership and each Agent, Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser and their respective successors and the affiliates, controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, employees and agents referred to in Section 9 hereof. References to any of the parties contained in this Agreement or any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party. Nothing in this Agreement or any Terms Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, any Terms Agreement or any Forward Contract, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, such Terms Agreement or such Forward Contract. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Terms Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided however, that each Agent, Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to an affiliate of such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser without obtaining the Company’s consent.

14)           Adjustments for Stock Splits. The parties acknowledge and agree that all stock-related numbers contained in this Agreement, any Terms Agreement, any Placement Notice, any Forward Placement Notice or any Forward Acceptance shall be adjusted to take into account any stock split, stock dividend or similar event effected with respect to the Shares.

15)           Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability; Waiver. This Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits attached hereto and Placement Notices issued pursuant hereto), together with any Terms Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. The relevant parties hereto agree that the Sales Agreement, dated March 28, 2022, by and among the parties thereto is hereby terminated. Neither this Agreement, nor any Terms Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Company and each of the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable as written by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision shall be given full force and effect to the fullest possible extent that it is valid, legal and enforceable, and the remainder of the terms and provisions herein shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision was not contained herein, but only to the extent that giving effect to such provision and the remainder of the terms and provisions hereof shall be in accordance with the intent of the parties as reflected in this Agreement and any Terms Agreement. No implied waiver by a party shall arise in the absence of a waiver in writing signed by such party. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder.

16)           GOVERNING LAW AND TIME; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS AGREEMENT, ANY TERMS AGREEMENT, ANY MASTER FORWARD CONFIRMATION AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY TERMS AGREEMENT OR, ANY MASTER FORWARD CONFIRMATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY REFER TO NEW YORK CITY TIME. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY TERMS AGREEMENT, ANY MASTER FORWARD CONFIRMATION OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

17)           CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR THAT THE VENUE OF SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF (CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TERMS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

18)           Counterparts. This Agreement, any Terms Agreement and any Forward Contract may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed Agreement by one party to the other may be made by facsimile or by electronic delivery of a portable document format (PDF) file (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx).

19)           Construction. The section and exhibit headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. References herein to any law, statute, ordinance, code, regulation, rule or other requirement of any Governmental Authority shall be deemed to refer to such law, statute, ordinance, code, regulation, rule or other requirement of any Governmental Authority as amended, reenacted, supplemented or superseded in whole or in part and in effect from time to time and also to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

20)           Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents, warrants and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of each of the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and each of the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers represents, warrants and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Agents, Forward Seller or Forward Purchasers or by the Company, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents and warrants that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. For the purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that all free writing prospectuses, if any, listed in Exhibit 2 hereto are Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses.

21)           Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:

(a)

each Agent, Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser is acting solely as agent in connection with the public offering of the Shares and in connection with each transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any Terms Agreement and the process leading to such transactions, and no fiduciary or advisory relationship between the Company or any of its affiliates, stockholders (or other equity holders), creditors or employees or any other party, on the one hand, and the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers, on the other hand, has been or will be created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Terms Agreement or any Master Forward Confirmation, irrespective of whether or not such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser has advised or is advising the Company on other matters, and no Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser has any obligation to the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Term Agreement or any Master Forward Confirmation except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Terms Agreement;

(b)

it is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Terms Agreement and any Master Forward Confirmation;

(c)

none of the Agents, Forward Seller, Forward Purchasers nor their respective affiliates have provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any Terms Agreement or any Master Forward Confirmation and it has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate;

(d)

it is aware that each Agent, Forward Seller, Forward Purchaser and their respective affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and such Agent and its affiliates have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship or otherwise; and

(e)

it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against an Agent, Forward Seller, Forward Purchaser or its affiliates for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the sale of Shares under this Agreement, under any Terms Agreement or under any Master Forward Confirmation or in connection with entry into any Master Forward Confirmation (and any Forward Contract) and agrees that such Agent, Forward Seller, Forward Purchaser and its affiliates shall not have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to it in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on its behalf or in right of it or the Company, employees or creditors of the Company.

22)           Additional Definitions. As used in this Agreement or any Terms Agreement, the following terms have the respective meanings set forth below:

(a)

(e)

“Forward Contract” means for each Forward, the contract evidencing such Forward between the Company and the applicable Forward Purchaser, which shall be comprised of the applicable Master Forward Confirmation and the related “Supplemental Confirmation” (as defined in the applicable Master Forward Confirmation) for such Forward.
