Ladies and Gentlemen:

Each of Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), IAS Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and Invesco Advisers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Manager”), confirms its agreement (this “Agreement”) with JMP Securities LLC and JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (together, the “Placement Agents”), as follows:

Section 1. Description of Securities.

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 Placement Agents, acting as agents and/or principals, up to 75,000,000 shares (the “Securities”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company issue or sell through the Placement Agents such number or dollar amount of Securities that would (i) exceed the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock registered on the effective Registration Statement (as defined below) pursuant to which the offering is being made, (ii) exceed the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock under the Company’s charter, (iii) exceed the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock permitted to be sold under Form S-3 (including General Instruction I.B.6 thereof, if applicable) or (iv) exceed the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock for which the Company has filed a Prospectus Supplement (as defined below). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as set forth in a Placement Notice (as defined below) the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 1 on the number of the Securities issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company, and the Placement Agents shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The issuance and sale of the Securities through the Placement Agents will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), although nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement to offer, sell or issue the Securities.

Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “OP Agreement”) of the Operating Partnership, upon receipt of the net proceeds of the sale of any and all Securities on each Settlement Date (as defined below), the Company will contribute such net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a number of common units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (the “OP Units”) that is equivalent to the number of Securities sold hereunder (the “Company OP Units”).

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 an automatic shelf registration statement of well-known seasoned issuers on Form S-3 (File No. 333-229917), including a base prospectus, relating to, among other securities of the Company, the Common Stock, including the Securities 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 Registration Statement became automatically

1

effective upon filing with the Commission on February 27, 2019. The Company has prepared a prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the base prospectus included as part of such registration statement. The Company will furnish to each Placement Agent, for use by such Placement Agent, copies of the base prospectus included as part of such registration statement, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, relating to the Securities. Except where the context otherwise requires, such registration statement, as amended when it became 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, or any substitute registration statement that may be filed to continue the registration of the Securities when it becomes effective, 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 is herein called the “Prospectus.” 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. Any reference herein to financial statements and schedules and other information that is “contained,” “included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement 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 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“▇▇▇▇▇”); all references in this Agreement to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below) (other than any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses that, pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act, are not required to be filed with the Commission) shall be deemed to include the copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇.

Unless otherwise specified, a reference to a “rule” in this Agreement is to the indicated rule under the Securities Act.

Section 2. Placements.

Each time that the Company wishes to issue and sell the Securities hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it will notify the Placement Agents by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) containing the parameters in accordance with which it desires the Securities to be sold, which shall at a minimum include the maximum number of Securities to be issued (the “Placement Securities”), the time period during which sales are requested to be made by the applicable Placement Agent and any minimum price below which sales may not be made (a “Placement Notice”), a form of which containing such minimum sales parameters necessary is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals from the Company set forth on Exhibit B (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 Placement Agents set forth on Exhibit B, as such Exhibit B may be amended from time to time. If a Placement Agent wishes to accept such proposed terms included in the Placement Notice (which such Placement Agent may decline to do so for any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussion with the Company, wishes to accept amended terms, such Placement Agent will, prior to 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time, on the Business Day (as defined below) following the Business Day on which such Placement Notice is delivered to such Placement Agent, 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 Placement Agents set forth on Exhibit B setting forth such acceptance or, in the alternative, such other terms that such Placement Agent is willing to accept. Where the terms provided in the Placement Notice are amended as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, such terms will not be binding on the Company or any Placement Agent until the Company delivers to the applicable Placement Agent an acceptance by email (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) of all of the terms of such Placement Notice, as amended (the “Acceptance”), which email shall be addressed to all of the individuals from the Company and the Placement Agents set forth on Exhibit B. The Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) shall be effective upon receipt by the

2

Company of each Placement Agent’s acceptance of the terms of the Placement Notice or upon receipt by the Placement Agents of the Company’s Acceptance, as the case may be, unless and until (i) the entire amount of the Placement Securities have been sold, (ii) the Company terminates the Placement Notice in writing (including via email) at any time and in its sole discretion, (iii) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters expressly superseding those on the earlier dated Placement Notice, (iv) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 12 or (v) either party shall have suspended the sale of the Placement Securities in accordance with Section 4 below. The amount of any discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Company to each Placement Agent in connection with the sale of the Placement Securities shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Exhibit D. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor any Placement Agent will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Securities unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to the Placement Agents and either (i) the applicable Placement Agent accepts the terms of such Placement Notice or (ii) where the terms of such Placement Notice are amended, the Company accepts such amended terms by means of an Acceptance pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified in the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), the terms of the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) will control. The term “Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York are generally authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

Section 3. Sale of Placement Securities by the Placement Agents.

Subject to the provisions of Section 6(a), the Placement Agents, for the period specified in the Placement Notice, will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their respective normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) to sell the Placement Securities up to the amount specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable). Each Placement 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 such Placement Agent has made sales of Placement Securities hereunder setting forth the number of Placement Securities sold on such day, the compensation payable by the Company to such Placement 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 such Placement Agent (as set forth in Section 6(b)) from the gross proceeds that it receives from such sales. Subject to the terms of the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), the Placement Agents may sell Placement Securities by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including without limitation sales made directly on the NYSE, on any other existing trading market for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker. If specified in a Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), the Placement Agents may also sell Placement Securities by any other method permitted by law, including but not limited to in privately negotiated transactions or block trades. For the purposes hereof, “Trading Day” means any day on which Common Stock is purchased and sold on the principal market on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted and during which there has been no market disruption of, unscheduled closing of or suspension of trading on such principal market.

Section 4. Suspension of Sales.

The Company or the Placement Agents may, upon notice to the other parties in writing (including by email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other parties set forth on Exhibit B, 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 parties set forth on Exhibit B), suspend any sale of Placement Securities; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair the other parties’ obligations with respect to any Placement Securities sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. The parties agree that no such notice under this Section 4 shall be effective against the other parties unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Exhibit B hereto, as such Exhibit may be amended from time to time.

(1) Compliance with Securities Act Requirements. The Securities have been duly registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act, or, with respect to any registration statement to be filed to register the offer and sale of the Securities pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act, including the documents incorporated by reference therein and including any information contained in a Prospectus 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, (a “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement”), will be filed with the Commission and become effective under the Securities Act no later than 10:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date of determination of the public offering price for the Securities, and no stop order preventing or suspending the use of any base prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below), or the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information with respect to such Registration Statement has been complied with.

At the respective times the Registration Statement became or becomes effective and as of the date hereof, the Registration Statement complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, and the conditions for the use of Form S-3, as set forth in the General Instructions thereto, have been complied with and the Registration Statement meets, and the offering and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereby complies with, the requirements of Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act (including without limitation, Rule 415(a)(5)). The Registration Statement, as of the date hereof and each effective date with respect thereto, and as of each Representation Date, did 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, as of their respective dates, and at each Applicable Time and each Settlement Date, as the case may be, included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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. The Prospectus, at the time the Prospectus was issued and at each Settlement Date, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act.

The representations and warranties set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by the Placement Agents expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in Section 10(a) hereof.

The copies of the Registration Statement and any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and any amendments thereto, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto delivered and to be delivered to each Placement Agent (electronically or otherwise) in connection with the offering of the Securities were and will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act, relating to the Securities that (i) is required to be filed with the Commission by the Company, (ii) is a “road show” that is a “written communication” within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i) under the Securities Act whether or not required to be filed with the Commission, or (iii) is exempt from filing pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) under the Securities Act because it contains a description of the Securities or of the offering that does not reflect the final terms, and all free writing prospectuses that are listed in Exhibit C hereto, in each case, in the form furnished (electronically or otherwise) to the Placement Agents for use in connection with the offering of the Securities.

The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any issuer free writing prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agents specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in Section 10(a) hereof.

The Company will advise the Placement Agents, promptly after it receives notice or obtains knowledge thereof, of the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any other order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, of the suspension of the qualification of the Placement Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the loss or suspension of any exemption from any such qualification, of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes, or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Securities Act concerning the Registration Statement or if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the Securities Act in connection with the offering of the Securities. The Company will use its commercially reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of any qualification of the Securities for offering or sale and any loss or suspension of any exemption from any such qualification, and if any such stop order is issued or any such suspension or loss occurs, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

(3) Delivery of Registration Statement and Prospectus. Except to the extent such documents have been publicly filed with the Commission pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇, the Company will furnish to the Placement Agents and their counsel (at the expense of the Company) copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference therein) and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, that are filed with the Commission during any period in which a Prospectus relating to the Placement Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (including all documents filed with the Commission during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), in each case, as soon as reasonably practicable and in such quantities and at such locations as any Placement Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

If 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, conflicts or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Securities that was not superseded or modified or included, includes or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or together with the Prospectus omitted, omits or would 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, the Company will promptly notify the Placement Agents to suspend the offering of Placement Securities during such period and the Company will, subject to Section 7(a) hereof, promptly amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

(5) Blue Sky and Other Qualifications. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts, in cooperation with the Placement Agents, to qualify the Placement Securities for offering and sale, or to obtain an exemption for the Securities to be offered and sold, under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as any Placement Agent may designate and to maintain such qualifications and exemptions in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Securities (but in no event for less than one year from the date of this Agreement); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a

16

In each jurisdiction in which the Placement Securities have been so qualified or exempt, the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification or exemption, as the case may be, in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Placement Securities (but in no event for less than one year from the date of this Agreement).

Each of the Company and the Operating Partnership agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Placement Agent and any person who controls such Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, expense, liability, damage or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, such Placement Agent or any controlling person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, expense, liability, damage or claim arises out of or is based upon (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereof), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that the Company has filed or was required to file with the Commission or the Prospectus (the term Prospectus for the purpose of this Section 10 being deemed to include the Prospectus as of its date and as amended or supplemented by the Company), (2) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in any such Registration Statement, or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, or (3) any omission or alleged omission from any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Prospectus of a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; except, in the case of each of clauses (1), (2) and (3), insofar as any such loss, expense, liability, damage or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each such case, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such Placement Agent and furnished in writing by such Placement Agent to the Company expressly stating that such information is intended for inclusion in any document described in clause (a)(1) above. The statements set forth in the first sentence of the eighth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus Supplement (to the extent such statements relate to such Placement Agent) constitute the only information furnished by or on behalf of such Placement Agent to the Company for the purposes of Sections 5(a)(1) and 5(a)(4) and this Section 10. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 10(a) shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Operating Partnership may otherwise have. If any action is brought against such Placement Agent or any controlling person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company or the Operating Partnership pursuant to the foregoing paragraph of this Section 10(a), such Placement Agent shall promptly notify the Company, as the case may be, in writing of the institution of such action (enclosing a copy of all papers served), and the Company, as the case may be, shall if it so elects, assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel and payment of expenses; provided, however, that any failure or delay to so notify the Company, as the case may be, will not relieve the Company or the

23

Operating Partnership of any obligation hereunder, except to the extent that their ability to defend is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. Such Placement Agent or such controlling person shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Placement Agent or such controlling person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Company or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be, in connection with the defense of such action, or the Company and the Operating Partnership shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Placement Agent or such controlling person, as the case maybe, to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Company or the Operating Partnership (in which case the Company and the Operating Partnership shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company and the Operating Partnership and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that the Company shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for such Placement Agent or such controlling persons in any one action or series of related actions in the same jurisdiction (other than local counsel in any such jurisdiction) representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action). Anything in this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership shall be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected without its consent.

(b) Indemnification by the Placement Agents. Each Placement Agent, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Company’s directors, the Company’s officers that signed the Registration Statement, any person 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, from and against any loss, expense, liability, damage or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Company, the Operating Partnership or any such person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, expense, liability, damage or claim arises out of or is based upon (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereof), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that the Company has filed or was required to file with the Commission, or the Prospectus, (2) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in any such Registration Statement, or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, or (3) any omission or alleged omission from any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus of a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but in each case only insofar as such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such Registration Statement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such Placement Agent furnished in writing by such Placement Agent to the Company expressly stating that such information is intended for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 10(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that such Placement Agent may otherwise have.

If any action is brought against the Company, the Operating Partnership or any such person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such Placement Agent pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Company, the Operating Partnership or such person shall promptly notify such Placement Agent in writing of the institution of such action (enclosing a copy of all papers served) and such Placement Agent shall if it so elects assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel and payment of expenses; provided, however, that any failure or delay to so notify such Placement Agent will not relieve such Placement Agent of any obligation hereunder, except to the extent that their ability to defend is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. The Company, the Operating Partnership or such person shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company, the Operating Partnership or such person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by such Placement Agent in connection with the defense of such action or such Placement Agent shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Operating Partnership or such person, as the case may be, to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to (in which case such Placement Agent shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be

24

borne by such Placement Agent and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such Placement Agent shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys in any one action or series of related actions in the same jurisdiction (other than local counsel in any such jurisdiction) representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action). Anything in this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, such Placement Agent shall not be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected without its written consent.

(c) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 10 in respect of any losses, expenses, liabilities, damages or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, expenses, liabilities, damages or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and by the Placement Agents, on the other hand, each from the offering of the Securities, or (ii) if (but only if) the allocation provided by clause (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 (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Placement Agents, on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, expenses, liabilities, damages or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (after underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting the expenses described in Section 8) received by each of them and benefits received by each Placement Agent shall be deemed to be equal to the underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Placement Agent. The relative fault of the Company, of the Operating Partnership and of the Placement Agents shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company, by the Operating Partnership or by the Placement Agents and the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 10(a) and 10(b) hereof, the amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any claim or action.

(d) The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Placement Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in clause (i) and, if applicable, clause (ii) of subsection (c) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, each Placement Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the Securities purchased by such Placement Agent and the liability of the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Section 10 shall not exceed the total net proceeds (after underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting the expenses described in Section 8) received by the Company and the Operating Partnership in the offering. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) The provisions of this Section shall not affect any agreement among the Company and the Placement Agents with respect to indemnification.

Section 11. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Manager or any of their respective subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Placement Agents or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Manager, and shall survive delivery of the Securities to the Placement Agents.

(g) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 8 hereof, and except that, in the case of any termination of this Agreement, Section 5, Section 8, Section 10, Section 11, Section 16 and Section 19 hereof shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

To our knowledge, (i) the OP Units (other than the New Units) have been duly authorized and validly issued, and (ii) the OP Units are owned by the Company, directly or indirectly, free from liens, encumbrances and defects.

9. Neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership is and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership will be, an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act.

The execution and delivery of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company’s sale of the Securities thereunder, and the Operating Partnership’s related sale of the New Units to the Company pursuant to the OP Agreement do not, and if the Company and the Operating Partnership were now to perform their other respective obligations under the Equity Distribution Agreement, such performance would not, result in any:

a. violation of the Operating Partnership’s certificate of limited partnership or the OP Agreement or the similar governing instruments of the Significant Subsidiaries;

b. violation of any existing federal or state constitution, statute, regulation, rule, order, or law which, based upon our experience, we know to be applicable to the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Significant Subsidiaries or their respective assets (except for state or foreign securities laws, as to which we express no opinion);

3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.

4. The Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

5. The issuance of the Securities has been duly authorized and, when and if issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the Resolutions, the Corporate Proceedings and the Agreement, the Securities will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will conform, in all material respects, to the descriptions thereof contained in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock.” No holder of the Securities to be delivered on the Settlement Date (as defined in the Agreement) is or will be subject to personal liability for any debt or obligation of the Company solely by reason of being such a holder.

6. The Company has an authorized capitalization as set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock”. The sale and issuance of the Securities are not subject to any preemptive or similar rights arising under the Charter, the Bylaws or the Maryland General Corporation Law.

7. None of the issuance and sale of the Securities, the purchase by the Company of the Company OP Units (as defined in the Agreement), or the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of the Agreement will conflict with or result in a breach or violation of (a) the Charter or Bylaws, (b) any Maryland statute, rule or regulation, or (c) based solely on the Officer’s Certificate, any order of any governmental agency or body of the State of Maryland having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties.

8. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any Maryland court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company is required for (a) the execution of the Agreement or consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement in connection with the offering, issuance and sale of the Securities by the Company and (b) the purchase by the Company of the Company OP Units, except such as have been obtained or made, if any (other than any consent, approval, authorization, order or filing in connection with the securities laws of the State of Maryland, as to which no opinion is expressed hereby).

9. The information in the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Capital Stock” and “Certain Provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law and Our Charter and Bylaws,” as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and the date hereof, in each case as modified by the disclosure in Exhibit 4.6 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, insofar as such information purports to summarize the Charter, the Bylaws or Maryland law, is accurate in all material respects.

EXHIBIT E-3

Form of Tax Opinion of Company Counsel

1. Commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2009, the Company has been organized, and has operated, in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation of the Company as a REIT under the Code, and the present and proposed method of operation (as described in the Registration Statement and the Officer’s Certificate) of the Company will permit the Company to continue to so qualify.

2. Although it does not purport to discuss all possible U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Common Stock, the discussion set forth in the Registration Statement under the captions “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” as supplemented by the discussion set forth in the Prospectus Supplement under the heading “Supplement to U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” though general in nature, constitutes, in all material respects, a fair and accurate summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Common Stock, subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth therein.

E-3-1

EXHIBIT F

2. To our knowledge, the Manager is not in violation of any term or provision of its organizational documents, and is not in breach of, or in default under (nor has any event occurred which with notice, lapse of time, or both would constitute a breach of, or default under or give the holder of any indebtedness or a person acting on such holder’s behalf the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or any part of such indebtedness under) any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any material contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other material agreement or instrument, except such violations, breaches or defaults that individually or in the aggregate could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3. The execution and delivery of the Equity Distribution Agreement and the performance of the obligations set forth therein by the Manager does not, and if the Manager was now to perform its obligations under such agreement would not, result in any:

(a) violation of the Manager’s articles of incorporation or bylaws;

(b) breach of or default under (i) the Management Agreement, or (ii) any material written agreement to which the Manager is a party or by which the Manager is bound, as set forth in Schedule B hereto, and which we have been advised by the Manager are all of the material agreements to which the Manager is a party;

(c) creation or imposition of a contractual lien or security interest in, on or against the Manager’s or its subsidiaries’ assets under any material written agreement specified in clause (b) above;
