Ladies and Gentlemen:

1. Introductory. DDR Corp., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell its senior debt securities (the “Senior Securities”) or its subordinated debt securities (the “Subordinated Securities”), or both, from time to time, in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of sale. The Senior Securities will be issued under an indenture dated as of May 1, 1994, as amended and supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of May 10, 1995, the second supplemental indenture, dated as of July 18, 2003, the third supplemental indenture, dated as of January 23, 2004, the fourth supplemental indenture, dated as of April 22, 2004, the fifth supplemental indenture, dated as of April 28, 2005, the sixth supplemental indenture, dated as of October 7, 2005, the seventh supplemental indenture, dated as of August 28, 2006, the eighth supplemental indenture, dated as of March 13, 2007, the ninth supplemental indenture, dated as of September 30, 2009, the tenth supplemental indenture, dated as of March 19, 2010, the eleventh supplemental indenture, dated as of August 12, 2010, the twelfth supplemental indenture, dated as of November 5, 2010, the thirteenth supplemental indenture, dated as of March 7, 2011, the fourteenth supplemental indenture, dated as of June 22, 2012, the fifteenth supplemental indenture, dated as of November 27, 2012, the sixteenth supplemental indenture, dated as of May 23, 2013, the seventeenth supplemental indenture, dated as of November 26, 2013, the eighteenth supplemental

indenture, dated as of January 22, 2015, the nineteenth supplemental indenture dated as of October 21, 2015, the twentieth supplemental indenture dated as of May 26, 2017 (such indenture, as amended and supplemented, the “Base Indenture”), and the twenty-first supplemental indenture, dated on or prior to the Closing Time (as hereinafter defined) (the “Twenty-first Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Senior Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank Trust National Association (as successor to National City Bank)), as trustee (the “Senior Trustee”), and the Subordinated Securities will be issued under an indenture dated as of May 1, 1994 (the “Subordinated Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New York (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as Chemical Bank)), as trustee (the “Subordinated Trustee”). The term “Trustee” as used herein shall refer to either the Senior Trustee or the Subordinated Trustee, as appropriate, for Senior Securities or Subordinated Securities. The Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture, each as further amended or supplemented from time to time, including the Twenty-first Supplemental Indenture, are each sometimes referred to as the “Indenture.” Each series of Senior Securities or Subordinated Securities may vary, as applicable, as to aggregate principal amount, maturity date, interest rate or formula and timing of payments thereof, redemption and/or repayment provisions, conversion provisions, sinking fund requirements, if any, and any other variable terms which the Senior Indenture or the Subordinated Indenture, as the case may be, contemplates may be set forth in the Senior Securities and the Subordinated Securities as issued from time to time. The Senior Securities or the Subordinated Securities may be offered either together or separately. As used herein, “Securities” shall mean the Senior Securities or the Subordinated Securities or any combination thereof. As used herein, “you” and “your,” unless the context otherwise requires, shall mean the parties to whom this Agreement is addressed together with the other parties, if any, identified in the applicable Terms Agreement (as hereinafter defined) as additional co-managers with respect to Underwritten Securities (as hereinafter defined) purchased pursuant thereto. Securities issued in book-entry form will be issued to Cede & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) pursuant to a blanket letter of representations between the Company and DTC.

Whenever the Company determines to make an offering of Securities through you or through an underwriting syndicate managed by you, the Company will enter into an agreement (the “Terms Agreement”) providing for the sale of such Securities (the “Underwritten Securities”) to, and the purchase and offering thereof by, you and such other underwriters, if any, selected by you as have authorized you to enter into such Terms Agreement on their behalf (the “Underwriters,” which term shall include you whether acting alone in the sale of the Underwritten Securities or as a member of an underwriting syndicate and any Underwriter substituted pursuant to Section 11 hereof). The Terms Agreement relating to the offering of Underwritten Securities shall specify the principal amount of Underwritten Securities to be initially issued (the “Initial Underwritten Securities”), the names of the Underwriters participating in such offering (subject to substitution as provided in Section 11 hereof), the principal amount of Initial Underwritten Securities which each such Underwriter severally agrees to purchase, the names of such of you or such other Underwriters acting as co-managers, if any, in connection with such offering, the price at which the Initial Underwritten Securities are to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Company, the initial public offering price, the time, date and place of delivery and payment, any delayed delivery arrangements and any other variable terms of the Initial Underwritten Securities (including, but not limited to, current ratings, designations, denominations, interest rates or formulas, interest payment dates, maturity dates, conversion provisions, redemption and/or repayment provisions, sinking fund

requirements and whether the issuance of the Underwritten Securities constitutes a reopening of previously-issued Securities (any such previously-issued Securities being referred to herein as the “Previously-Issued Securities”)). In addition, each Terms Agreement shall specify whether the Company has agreed to grant to the Underwriters an option to purchase additional Underwritten Securities to cover over-allotments, if any, and the principal amount of Underwritten Securities subject to such option (the “Option Securities”). As used herein, the term “Underwritten Securities” shall include the Initial Underwritten Securities and all or any portion of the Option Securities agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters as provided herein, if any. The Terms Agreement, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, may take the form of an exchange of any standard form of written telecommunication between you and the Company. Each offering of Underwritten Securities through you or through an underwriting syndicate managed by you will be governed by this Agreement, as supplemented by the applicable Terms Agreement.

2. Representations and Warranties. (a) The Company represents and warrants to you, as of the date hereof, and to you and each other Underwriter named in the applicable Terms Agreement, as of the date thereof (such latter date being referred to herein as a “Representation Date”), as of the Applicable Time referred to in Section 2(a)(iii), as of the Closing Time and, if applicable, as of each Date of Delivery referred to in Section 3(b), that:

(i) The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-205059), including the related preliminary prospectus or prospectuses. Such registration statement registers the issuance and sale by the Company of the Securities (including the Underwritten Securities) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Promptly after execution and delivery of the applicable Terms Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus supplement relating to the offering of Underwritten Securities (the “Prospectus Supplement”) in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B (“Rule 430B”) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”) and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 (“Rule 424(b)”) of the 1933 Act Regulations. Any information included in such Prospectus Supplement that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of and included in such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B is referred to as “Rule 430B Information.” The prospectus that is part of such registration statement and each prospectus supplement used in connection with the offering of Underwritten Securities that omitted Rule 430B Information is herein called a “preliminary prospectus.” Such registration statement, at any given time, including the amendments thereto to such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act at such time and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the 1933 Act Regulations, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” The Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective is herein called the “Original Registration Statement.” The final prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement in the form first furnished to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of Underwritten Securities, including the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act at the time of the execution of the applicable Terms Agreement is herein called the “Prospectus”; provided, however, that a Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to have supplemented the Prospectus only with respect to the offering of the Underwritten Securities to which it relates. Each of the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “1939 Act”).

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, as of any specified date; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include, without limitation, the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, as of any specified date.

(ii) (A) At the time of filing the Original Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations) made any offer relating to the Underwritten Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the 1933 Act Regulations, and (D) at the date hereof, the Company was a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 405”). The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405, that initially became effective within three years of the date hereof, and the Securities (including the Underwritten Securities), and if applicable, the Company’s common shares, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Shares”), issuable upon conversion of any of the Underwritten Securities, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on a Rule 405 “automatic shelf registration statement.” The Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the 1933 Act objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form.

At the time of filing the Original Registration Statement, at the earliest time thereafter that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations) of the Underwritten Securities, at the date hereof and at the applicable Representation Date, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405.

(iii) The Original Registration Statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 462(e)”) on June 18, 2015, and any post-effective amendment thereto also became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e). No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under

the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted, are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, have been threatened, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with.

If applicable, any offer that is a written communication relating to the Underwritten Securities made prior to the filing of the Original Registration Statement by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this paragraph only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations) has been filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 163 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 163”) and otherwise complied with the requirements of Rule 163, including without limitation the legending requirement, to qualify such offer for the exemption from Section 5(c) of the 1933 Act provided by Rule 163.

At the respective times the Original Registration Statement and each amendment thereto (including amendments filed for the purpose of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) became effective, at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations, at the date hereof, at the applicable Representation Date, at the Applicable Time and at the Closing Time and any Date of Delivery, the Registration Statement, as amended as of such date, complied, complies and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations and the 1939 Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1939 Act (the “1939 Act Regulations”), and the Registration Statement, as amended as of such date, did not, does not and 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.

Neither the Prospectus nor any amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement was issued, at the applicable Representation Date, at the Applicable Time, at the time of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations and at the Closing Time and any Date of Delivery, included, includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Any preliminary prospectus (including the prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto) complied when so filed in all material respects with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and any such preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered or made available to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of Underwritten Securities was and will be, at the time of such delivery, identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“▇▇▇▇▇”), except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

As of the Applicable Time, neither (i) the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus(es) (as defined below) (including the Final Term Sheet (as defined in Section 4(c))) issued at or prior to the Applicable Time and the Statutory Prospectus (as defined below), all considered together (collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), nor (ii) any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below), when

considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The representations and warranties in this Section 2(a)(iii) shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, or the General Disclosure Package made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by any Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, or the General Disclosure Package, or to that part of the Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility under the 1939 Act (Form T-1) (the “Statement of Eligibility”) of the Senior Trustee and the Subordinated Trustee under the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture, respectively.

Rule 433(d)(8)(i), whether or not required to be filed with the Commission, or (iii) is exempt from filing pursuant to

The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the applicable Terms Agreement and the Indenture, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action prior to the execution of the applicable Terms Agreement, and compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder and thereunder will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to, any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is a party or by which it may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of (i) the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or any Significant Subsidiary’s certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or other organizational documents, as the case may be, or Code of Regulations or any Significant Subsidiary’s bylaws, operating agreement or partnership agreement, as the case may be, or, (ii) to the Company’s knowledge, any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court order or decree except, in the case of clause (ii) hereof, for such conflicts, breaches, defaults, liens, charges, encumbrances or violations that would not have a Material Adverse Effect or materially and adversely affect the consummation of this Agreement, the applicable Terms Agreement, or the Indenture, or the transactions contemplated herein and therein; and no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental authority or agency is required for the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or the applicable Terms Agreement or the Indenture, except such as has been obtained or as may be required under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the 1939 Act, state securities or blue sky laws or real estate syndication laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Underwritten Securities by the Underwriters.

(C) For the past five years, the Company has not knowingly engaged in and is not now knowingly engaged in any dealings or transactions with any Person, or in any country or territory, that at the time of the dealing or transaction is or was the subject of Sanctions.

3. Purchase by, and Sale and Delivery to, Underwriters. (a) The several commitments of the Underwriters to purchase the Underwritten Securities pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth.

(b) In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company may grant, if so provided in the applicable Terms Agreement relating to the Initial Underwritten Securities, an option to the

Underwriters named in such Terms Agreement, severally and not jointly, to purchase up to the aggregate principal amount of Option Securities set forth therein at the same price per Option Security as is applicable to the Initial Underwritten Securities less an amount equal to any interest paid or payable on the Initial Underwritten Securities and not payable on the Option Securities. Such option, if granted, will expire 30 days (or such lesser number of days as may be specified in the applicable Terms Agreement) after the Representation Date relating to the Initial Underwritten Securities, and may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time only for the purpose of covering over-allotments which may be made in connection with the offering and distribution of the Initial Underwritten Securities upon notice by you to the Company setting forth the aggregate principal amount of Option Securities as to which the several Underwriters are then exercising the option and the time and date of payment and delivery for such Option Securities. Any such time, date and place of delivery (a “Date of Delivery”) shall be determined by you, but shall not be later than ten full business days after the exercise of such option and not be earlier than two full business days after the exercise of said option, nor in any event prior to the Closing Time, unless otherwise agreed upon by you and the Company. If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Securities, each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, will purchase that proportion of the total aggregate principal amount of Option Securities then being purchased which the aggregate principal amount of Initial Underwritten Securities each such Underwriter has severally agreed to purchase as set forth in the applicable Terms Agreement bears to the total aggregate principal amount of Initial Underwritten Securities (except as otherwise provided in the applicable Terms Agreement).

(c) Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Underwritten Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters shall be made at the office of Sidley Austin LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ by wire transfer in same-day funds, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by you and the Company, at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date specified in the Terms Agreement (such time and date of payment and delivery being referred to herein as the “Closing Time”). In addition, in the event that any or all of the Option Securities are purchased by the Underwriters, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates representing, such Option Securities, shall be made at the above-mentioned offices of Sidley Austin LLP, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by you and the Company on each Date of Delivery as specified in the notice from you to the Company. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Terms Agreement, payment shall be made to the Company by wire transfer in same-day funds payable against delivery to you for the respective accounts of the Underwriters for the Underwritten Securities to be purchased by them. The Underwritten Securities shall be in such authorized denominations and registered in such names as you may request in writing at least one business day prior to the Closing Time or Date of Delivery, as the case may be. The Underwritten Securities, which may be in temporary form, will be made available for examination and packaging by you on or before the first business day prior to the Closing Time or the Date of Delivery, as the case may be.

If authorized by the applicable Terms Agreement, the Underwriters named therein may solicit offers to purchase Underwritten Securities from the Company pursuant to delayed delivery contracts (“Delayed Delivery Contracts”) substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto with such changes therein as the Company may approve. As compensation for arranging Delayed Delivery Contracts, the Company will pay to you at the Closing Time, for the respective accounts of the Underwriters, a fee specified in the applicable Terms Agreement for each of the Underwritten

Securities for which Delayed Delivery Contracts are made at the Closing Time as is specified in the applicable Terms Agreement. Any Delayed Delivery Contracts are to be with institutional investors of the types described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. At the Closing Time, the Company will enter into Delayed Delivery Contracts (for not less than the minimum principal amount of Underwritten Securities per Delayed Delivery Contract specified in the applicable Terms Agreement) with all purchasers proposed by the Underwriters and previously approved by the Company as provided below, but not for an aggregate principal amount of Underwritten Securities in excess of that specified in the applicable Terms Agreement. The Underwriters will not have any responsibility for the validity or performance of Delayed Delivery Contracts.

You shall submit to the Company, at least two business days prior to the Closing Time, the names of any institutional investors with which it is proposed that the Company will enter into Delayed Delivery Contracts and the principal amount of Underwritten Securities to be purchased by each of them, and the Company will advise you, at least one business day prior to the Closing Time, of the names of the institutions with which the making of Delayed Delivery Contracts is approved by the Company and the principal amount of Underwritten Securities to be covered by each such Delayed Delivery Contract.

The principal amount of Underwritten Securities agreed to be purchased by the several Underwriters pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement shall be reduced by the principal amount of Underwritten Securities covered by Delayed Delivery Contracts, as to each Underwriter as set forth in a written notice delivered by you to the Company; provided, however, that the total principal amount of Underwritten Securities to be purchased by all Underwriters shall be the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten Securities covered by the applicable Terms Agreement, less the principal amount of Underwritten Securities covered by Delayed Delivery Contracts.

4. Covenants and Agreements of the Company. The Company covenants with the several Underwriters participating in the offering of Underwritten Securities that:

(a) Immediately following the execution of the applicable Terms Agreement, the Company, subject to Section 4(c) hereof, will prepare a Prospectus Supplement containing the Rule 430B Information, and the Company will effect the filings required under Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations, in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)). The Company shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Underwritten Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act Regulations without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the 1933 Act Regulations (including, if applicable, by updating the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in accordance with Rule 456(b)(1)(ii) either in a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or on the cover page of the Prospectus Supplement filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)).

(b) The Company will advise you promptly (i) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the institution of any proceedings for that purpose or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the 1933 Act concerning the Registration Statement and (ii) if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Securities or

if the Company receives from the Commission a notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order and to obtain as soon as possible the lifting thereof, if issued. The Company will advise you promptly of any request by the Commission for any amendment of or supplement to the Registration Statement, the filing of a new registration statement relating to the Underwritten Securities, any amendment of or supplement to the Prospectus or for additional information.

(c) At any time when the Prospectus relating to the Underwritten Securities is required to be delivered (or but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations would be required to be delivered) under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with sales of the Underwritten Securities (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), the Company will give you notice of its intention to file any amendment to the Registration Statement, a new registration statement relating to the Underwritten Securities or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, and will furnish you with copies of any such amendment or supplement or such new registration statement a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing, and will not file any such amendment or supplement or such new registration statement or other documents in a form to which you or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably object in writing or which is not in material compliance with the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations, as applicable; provided, however, that with respect to any proposed amendment or supplement resulting solely from the incorporation by reference of any report to be filed under the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations, the Company will only be required to furnish you with copies of such report a reasonable amount of time prior to the proposed filing thereof. The Company has given you notice of any filings made pursuant to the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations within 48 hours prior to the Applicable Time; the Company will give you notice of its intention to make any such filing from the Applicable Time to the Closing Time and will furnish you with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which you or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably object. The Company will prepare a final term sheet (the “Final Term Sheet”) reflecting the final terms of the Underwritten Securities, in form and substance satisfactory to you and substantially in the form attached on Schedule I-A to the applicable Terms Agreement, and shall file such Final Term Sheet as an “issuer free writing prospectus” pursuant to Rule 433 as soon as possible after execution of such Terms Agreement; provided that the Company shall furnish you with copies of any such Final Term Sheet a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing and will not use or file any such document to which you or counsel to the Underwriters shall object. The Final Term Sheet is a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (as defined herein) for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) At the request of an Underwriter, the Company will deliver to such Underwriter a conformed copy of the Original Registration Statement and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith and documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act or otherwise deemed to be a part thereof).

(e) The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, upon written request, as many copies of each preliminary prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Underwriter reasonably requests (which copies may be delivered via email), and the Company hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the 1933 Act. The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, from time to time during the Prospectus Delivery Period, such number of copies

of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as such Underwriter may reasonably request for the purposes contemplated by the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations.

(f) If, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, any event relating to or affecting the Company occurs as a result of which the Prospectus or any other prospectus as then in effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Registration Statement or to file a new registration statement relating to the Underwritten Securities or amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, the Company will promptly notify you thereof and, subject to Section 4(c) hereof, will amend the Registration Statement, file such new registration statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus, as applicable, to correct such statement or omission whether by filing documents pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, as may be necessary to correct such untrue statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement and Prospectus comply with such requirements; the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to have such amendment or such new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable (if it is not an automatic shelf registration statement with respect to the Underwritten Securities) and the Company will furnish to the Underwriters a reasonable number of copies of such amendment or supplement or such new registration statement. If at any time after the date of the applicable Terms Agreement, an event or development occurs as a result of which the General Disclosure Package contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the Applicable Time or at the time it is delivered or conveyed to a purchaser, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify you and, subject to Section 4(c) hereof, will promptly amend or supplement in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters at its own expense, the General Disclosure Package to eliminate or correct such untrue statement or omission. If, prior to the completion of the public offer and sale of the Underwritten Securities, at any time following the issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement (or any other registration statement relating to the Underwritten Securities) or the Statutory Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify you and, subject to Section 4(c) hereof, will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission. The Underwriters’ delivery of any such amendment or supplement shall not constitute a waiver of any of the conditions in Section 8 hereof.

(g) If immediately prior to the third anniversary of June 18, 2015 (such third anniversary, the “Renewal Deadline”) any of the Underwritten Securities remain unsold by the Underwriters, the Company will, prior to the Renewal Deadline, promptly notify you and file, if it has not already done so and is eligible to do so, an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations) relating to such Underwritten Securities, in a form satisfactory to you. If at the Renewal Deadline any of the Underwritten Securities remain unsold by the Underwriters and the Company is not eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement,

the Company will, if it has not already done so, promptly notify you and file a new shelf registration statement or post-effective amendment on the proper form relating to such Underwritten Securities in a form satisfactory to you, and will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement or post-effective amendment to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the Renewal Deadline and promptly notify you of such effectiveness. The Company will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Underwritten Securities to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating thereto. References herein to the “Registration Statement” shall include such automatic shelf registration statement or such new shelf registration statement or post-effective amendment, as the case may be.

(h) The Company will cooperate with the Underwriters to enable the Underwritten Securities and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Underwritten Securities, if any, to be qualified for sale under the securities laws and real estate syndication laws of such jurisdictions as you may reasonably designate and at the reasonable request of the Underwriters will make such applications and furnish such information as may be required of it as the issuer of the Underwritten Securities and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Underwritten Securities, if any, for that purpose; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process or to become subject to taxation as a foreign business in any such jurisdiction. The Company will, from time to time, prepare and file such statements and reports as are or may be required of it as the issuer of the Underwritten Securities and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Underwritten Securities, if any, to continue such qualifications in effect for so long a period as the Underwriters may reasonably request for the distribution of the Underwritten Securities; and in each jurisdiction in which the Underwritten Securities and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Underwritten Securities, if any, have been so qualified, the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification in effect for so long as may be required for the distribution of the Underwritten Securities and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Underwritten Securities, if any; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or where it would be subject to taxation as a foreign business.

(i) With respect to each sale of Underwritten Securities, the Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 of the 1933 Act Regulations for the purposes of, and to provide to the Underwriters the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.

(j) During the period of five years from the date hereof, to the extent not otherwise available on ▇▇▇▇▇ or on the Company’s website, the Company will deliver to you and, upon request, to each of the other Underwriters, (i) copies of each annual report of the Company and each other report furnished by the Company to its shareholders; and will deliver to you, (ii) as soon as they are available, copies of any other reports (financial or other) which the Company shall publish or otherwise make available to any of its security holders as such, and (iii) as soon as they are available, copies of any reports and financial statements furnished to or filed with the Commission or any national securities exchange.

(k) The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of Underwritten Securities in the manner specified in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

(l) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to continue to meet the requirements to qualify as a REIT under the Code for the taxable year in which sales of the Underwritten Securities are to occur, unless otherwise specified in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(m) The Company, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, will file promptly all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15 of the 1934 Act within the time periods prescribed by the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.

(n) The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains your prior written consent, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company and you, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Underwritten Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405; provided, however, that the prior written consent of the Company and you shall be deemed to have been given in respect of any non-IFWP road show (as defined below) and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus(es) included on Schedule I to the applicable Terms Agreement; and provided, further, that prior to the preparation of the Final Term Sheet in accordance with Section 4(c) hereof, the Underwriters are authorized to use any free writing prospectus that contains substantially only information specified in the Final Term Sheet. Any such free writing prospectus consented to in writing by the Company and you is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated or 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.

(o) The Company will not, between the date of the applicable Terms Agreement and the Closing Time, without your prior written consent, offer or sell, grant any option for the sale of, or enter into any agreement to sell, any debt securities of the Company with a maturity of more than one year (other than the Underwritten Securities which are to be sold pursuant to such Terms Agreement), or if such Terms Agreement relates to Senior Securities or Subordinated Securities that are convertible into Common Shares, any Common Shares or any security convertible into Common Shares (except for Common Shares issued pursuant to reservations, agreements, employee benefit plans, dividend reinvestment plans, or employee stock option plans), except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Terms Agreement.

(p) If applicable, the Company will reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights or other similar rights, a sufficient number of Common Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to satisfy any obligations to issue such shares upon conversion of the Securities.

(q) If applicable, the Company will use its best efforts to list the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Underwritten Securities on the NYSE or such other national exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed.

5. Payment of Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement, including: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel and the Company’s registered public accounting firm in connection with the registration and delivery of the Underwritten Securities under the 1933 Act and all other fees or expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus and amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing, including all printing costs associated therewith, and the mailing and delivery of copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers, in the quantities hereinabove specified, and any costs associated with electronic delivery of any of the foregoing by the Underwriters to investors, (ii) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Underwritten Securities to the Underwriters, including any transfer or other taxes payable thereon, (iii) the cost of printing or producing any blue sky or legal investment memorandum in connection with the offer and sale of the Underwritten Securities under state securities laws and all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Underwritten Securities for offer and sale under state securities laws and real estate syndication laws as provided in Section 4(h) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with such qualification and in connection with the blue sky or legal investment memorandum (provided that the amount for such memorandum shall not exceed $5,000), (iv) all filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters incurred in connection with the review and qualification of the offering of the Underwritten Securities by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (provided that any fees of such counsel shall not exceed $5,000), (v) all fees and expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the registration statement on Form 8-A relating to the Underwritten Securities and all costs and expenses incident to listing the Underwritten Securities on the NYSE, (vi) the cost of printing certificates representing the Underwritten Securities, (vii) the costs and charges of any transfer agent, registrar or depositary, (viii) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Underwritten Securities including, without limitation, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the road show presentations with the prior approval of the Company, travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants, and the cost of any aircraft chartered in connection with the road show and (ix) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section. It is understood, however, that except as provided in this Section, Section 6 hereof and Section 10 hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Underwritten Securities by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make.

6. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter (including, for this purpose, any affiliated broker-dealer of an

Underwriter participating as an initial seller in the offering of the Underwritten Securities) and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, including the Rule 430B Information, or in the General Disclosure Package, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any written or graphic road show materials or investor presentation materials used by the Company in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Securities not otherwise constituting an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (a “non-IFWP road show”), or the Prospectus (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 (with respect to any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus only, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.

(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, including the Rule 430B Information, or in the General Disclosure Package, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any non-IFWP road show, the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto.

(c) 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 6(a) or 6(b) hereof, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party shall be entitled to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. 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 indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party does not promptly retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party reasonably concludes that the representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and

expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by Citigroup Global Markets Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) 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 (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement; provided that an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any such settlement effected without its consent if such indemnifying party (x) reimburses such indemnified party in accordance with such request to the extent that the indemnifying party in its judgment considers such request to be reasonable and (y) provides written notice to the indemnified party stating the reason it deems the unpaid balance unreasonable, in each case no later than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request from the indemnified party. 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 (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) 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.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Underwritten Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 6(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 6(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Underwritten Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the

aggregate public offering price of the Underwritten Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand 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 or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the respective number of Underwritten Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 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 that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 6(d) hereof. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities 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 6, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Underwritten Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter 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 ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Underwritten Securities.

7. Survival of Indemnities, Representation, Warranties, etc. The respective indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement or made by them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of their officers or directors or any controlling person, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Securities.

8. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations. The respective obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase Underwritten Securities pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement are subject to the accuracy, at and (except as otherwise stated herein) as of the date hereof, the Applicable Time, the applicable Representation Date, the Closing Time and at each Date of Delivery, of the representations and warranties made herein by the Company, to the accuracy of the

statements of the Company’s officers or directors in any certificate furnished pursuant to the provisions hereof, to compliance at and as of the Closing Time and at each Date of Delivery by the Company, with its covenants and agreements herein contained and other provisions hereof to be satisfied at or prior to the Closing Time, or Date of Delivery, as the case may be, and to the following additional conditions:

(b) At the time of execution of the applicable Terms Agreement, you shall have received from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP a letter, dated the date of such execution, in form and substance satisfactory to you, containing statements and information of the type customarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters.

(c) At the Closing Time, you shall have received from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP a letter, dated the Closing Time, to the effect that such accountants reaffirm, as of the Closing Time, and as though made on the Closing Time, the statements made in the letter furnished by such accountants pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 8, except that the specified date will be a date not more than three business days prior to the Closing Time.

(d) At the Closing Time, you shall have received from ▇▇▇▇▇ Day, counsel for the Company, an opinion, dated as of the Closing Time, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto and to such further effect as counsel to the Underwriters may reasonably request.

(e) At the Closing Time, you shall have received from Sidley Austin LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, their opinion or opinions dated the Closing Time in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they may request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

In giving their opinion, Sidley Austin LLP may rely as to matters involving the laws of the State of Ohio upon the opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇ Day. ▇▇▇▇▇ Day and Sidley Austin LLP may rely (i) as to the qualification of the Company or its subsidiaries to do business in any state or jurisdiction, upon certificates of appropriate government officials, telephonic confirmation by representatives of such states or confirmation from information contained on the websites of such states and (ii) as to matters of fact, upon certificates and written statements of officers and employees of and accountants for the Company or its subsidiaries.

(f) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Terms Agreement and prior to the Closing Time or any Date of Delivery:

(i) there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that either (x) does not indicate the direction of the possible change or (y) indicates a negative change, in the rating accorded any of the Company’s securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the 1934 Act; and

(ii) there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement) that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and that makes it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the Underwritten Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(g) At the Closing Time (i) there shall not have been, since the date of the applicable Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, any Material Adverse Effect, other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (ii) the Company has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Time, (iii) the Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to

Issued Securities has occurred and is continuing and (vi) you shall have received at the Closing Time a certificate of (A) the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or any Executive Vice President of the Company and (B) the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or any Executive Vice President of the Company (in each case, only if such officer had not executed the certificate pursuant to clause (vi)(A) above), dated as of the Closing Time, evidencing compliance with the provisions of this Section 8(g).

(h) You shall have received a certificate, dated the Closing Time, of (i) the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or any Executive Vice President of the Company and (ii) the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or any Executive Vice President of the Company (in each case, only if such officer had not executed the certificate pursuant to clause (i) above), to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 2(a) hereof are true and correct with the same force and effect as though expressly made at and as of the Closing Time.

(i) The Company shall have furnished to you such additional certificates as specified in the applicable Terms Agreement as you may have reasonably requested as to the accuracy, at and as of the Closing Time, of the representations and warranties made herein by them, as to compliance, at and as of the Closing Time, by them with their covenants and agreements herein contained and other provisions hereof to be satisfied at or prior to the Closing Time, and as to other conditions to the obligations of the Underwriters hereunder.

(j) In the event the Underwriters exercise their option provided in a Terms Agreement as set forth in Section 3 hereof to purchase all or any portion of the Option Securities, the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the statements in any certificates furnished by the Company hereunder shall be true and correct as of each Date of Delivery, and you shall have received:

(iv) A certificate, dated such Date of Delivery, of (A) the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or any

Executive Vice President of the Company and (B) the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer or any Executive Vice President of the Company (in each case, only if such officer had not executed the certificate pursuant to clause (A) above) confirming that the certificate or certificates delivered at the Closing Time pursuant to Section 8(g)(vi) and 8(h) remains or remain true as of such Date of Delivery.

(v) Such additional certificates, dated such Date of Delivery, as you may have reasonably requested pursuant to Section 8(i).

If any of the conditions hereinabove provided for in this Section shall not have been satisfied when and as required to be satisfied, the applicable Terms Agreement may be terminated by you by notifying the Company of such termination in writing or by telegram at or prior to the Closing Time, but you shall be entitled to waive any of such conditions.

9. Termination.

(a) This Agreement (excluding the applicable Terms Agreement) may be terminated for any reason at any time by the Company or by you upon the giving of 30 days’ written notice of such termination to the other party hereto.

(b) This Agreement and the Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Terms Agreement and prior to the Closing Time and any Date of Delivery (as to the Option Securities) (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, the NYSE or the Nasdaq Global Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services has occurred in the United States, (iv) the rating assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization to any securities of the Company as of the date of the applicable Terms Agreement shall have been lowered since such date or if any such rating organization shall have publicly announced that it has placed any securities of the Company on what is commonly termed a “watch list” for possible downgrading, (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis or any change in national or international political, financial or economic condition, the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in your sole judgment, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Underwritten Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto subsequent to the date of the applicable Terms Agreement), or (vi) there has been, since the date of the applicable Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any Material Adverse Effect.

(c) In the event of any such termination, the covenants set forth in Section 4 hereof with respect to any offering of Underwritten Securities shall remain in effect so long as any Underwriter owns any such Underwritten Securities purchased from the Company pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement.

10. Reimbursement of Underwriters. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, if this Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement shall be terminated by you under Section 8 hereof, Section 9(b) hereof or Section 12 hereof, the Company will bear and pay the expenses specified in Section 5 hereof and, in addition to their obligations pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Company will reimburse the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the several Underwriters (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Underwritten Securities, and promptly upon demand, the Company will pay such amounts to you for and on behalf of such Underwriter. In addition, the provisions of Section 6 hereof shall survive any such termination.

11. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, to purchase the Underwritten Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under the applicable Terms Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), then you shall have the right, within 36 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, you shall not have completed such arrangements within such 36-hour period, then:

(a)

if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten Securities to be purchased on such date pursuant to such Terms Agreement, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations under such Terms Agreement bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

(b)

if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten Securities to be purchased on such date pursuant to such Terms Agreement, such Terms Agreement (or, with respect to the Underwriters’ exercise of any applicable over-allotment option for the purchase of Option Securities on a Date of Delivery after the Closing Time, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase, and the Company to sell, such Option Securities on such Date of Delivery) shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 11 shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in (i) a termination of the applicable Terms Agreement or (ii) in the case of a Date of Delivery after the Closing Time, a termination of the obligations of the Underwriters and the Company with respect to the related Option Securities, as the case may be, either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

12. Default by the Company. If the Company shall fail at the Closing Time to sell and deliver the principal amount of Underwritten Securities which it is obligated to sell pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement, then such agreement shall terminate without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting party, other than obligations under Sections 6 and 10 hereof. No action taken pursuant to this Section 12 shall relieve the Company from liability, if any, in respect of such default.

13. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of Underwritten Securities contemplated hereby and in the applicable Terms Agreement (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, no Underwriter is advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Underwriter shall have any responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by an Underwriter of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of such Underwriter and shall not be on behalf of the Company.

14. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, if sent to the Underwriters shall be mailed or delivered and confirmed to you, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attn: General Counsel, Fax: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co.

15. Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.
