Ladies and Gentlemen:

Tanger Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the “Company”), and Tanger Properties Limited Partnership, a North Carolina limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), confirm their agreement with each of BofA Securities, Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Securities, LLC, BTIG, LLC, Nomura Securities International, Inc., Regions Securities LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., TD Securities (USA) LLC and Truist Securities, Inc., each as sales agent and/or principal (except in the case of Nomura Securities International, Inc.) and/or, in certain cases, forward seller (except in the case of BTIG, LLC) (in any such capacity, each, an “Agent”, and collectively, the “Agents”), and each of Bank of America, N.A., ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association, Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc., Regions Securities LLC, The Bank of Nova Scotia, The Toronto-Dominion Bank and Truist Bank, each as forward purchaser (in such capacity, each a “Forward Purchaser”, and collectively, the “Forward Purchasers”). For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that, if Shares (as defined below) are offered or sold through any Agent or Nomura Securities International, Inc. (acting through BTIG, LLC as agent) acting as forward seller for the applicable Forward Purchaser (each a “Forward Seller”, and collectively, the “Forward Sellers”), then such Agent (or, in the case of BTIG, LLC, Nomura Securities International, Inc.), as Forward Seller, shall be acting solely in its capacity as sales agent for such Forward Purchaser and not as sales agent for the Company with respect to the offering and sale of such Shares, and, except in cases where this Agreement (as defined below) expressly refers to an Agent acting as sales agent for the Company or unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to any Agent acting as sales agent shall also be deemed to apply to such Agent when acting as Forward Seller (or in the case of BTIG, LLC as Agent, to Nomura Securities International, Inc. as Forward

Seller), mutatis mutandis. Only an Agent that is, or is affiliated with, a Forward Purchaser may act as Forward Seller for such Forward Purchaser, except that Nomura Securities International, Inc. may act as Forward Seller for Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc. It is also understood and agreed by the parties hereto that, if Shares are offered or sold through any Agent acting as sales agent for the Company, then such Agent shall be acting solely in its capacity as sales agent for the Company, and not as sales agent for any Forward Purchaser, with respect to the offering and sale of such Shares.

The Company proposes, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this At-the-Market Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the “Agreement”), to (i) issue and sell from time to time to or through the Agents, the Company’s common shares, $0.01 par value (the “Common Shares”), and (ii) instruct the applicable Forward Sellers, severally and not jointly, from time to time to offer and sell Common Shares, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; provided that the aggregate number of Common Shares sold pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above (the “Shares”) (including Common Shares issued and sold by the Company to or through the Agents pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreements (as hereinafter defined) and Common Shares borrowed by any Forward Purchasers or their respective affiliates and sold through any Forward Sellers in connection with any Confirmations (as hereinafter defined)) shall have an aggregate gross sales price of not to exceed $250,000,000. The Company agrees that whenever it determines to sell Shares directly to an Agent as principal it will enter into a separate written Terms Agreement (each, a “Terms Agreement”), in substantially the form of Annex I hereto, relating to such sale in accordance with Section 2(k) hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any references in this Agreement to “Shares” shall not include any “Confirmation Shares” (as defined below).

The Company may also enter into one or more forward stock purchase transactions with any of the Forward Purchasers as set forth in separate forward sale transaction confirmations, each in substantially the form of Annex II hereto (each, a “Confirmation”, and, collectively, the “Confirmations”). Under each Confirmation, the Company will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such Confirmation and in this Agreement, deliver and sell to the applicable Forward Purchaser or an affiliate thereof (including the Forward Seller affiliated with such Forward Purchaser) up to the maximum number of Common Shares as may be sold in accordance with this Agreement in connection with such Confirmation. In connection therewith, the Company and each Forward Purchaser understand that the applicable Forward Purchaser or an affiliate thereof will attempt to borrow and then offer, through the applicable Forward Seller (which shall be either the same entity as the Forward Purchaser or an affiliate of the Forward Purchaser), as sales agent on behalf of such Forward Purchaser, the applicable Shares for sale on the terms set forth under this Agreement.

Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus supplement relating to the Shares in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 424(b)”). Such final prospectus supplement, as amended by the prospectus supplement filed most recently with the Commission in accordance with Section 3(b), 3(c) or 3(n) hereof, as the case may be, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by

reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, is referred to herein as the “Prospectus Supplement”. The Base Prospectus, as amended by the Prospectus Supplement and any applicable pricing supplement thereto, in the form the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement and any such pricing supplement are first furnished to the Agents and Forward Sellers for use in connection with the offering and sale of Shares, are collectively referred to herein as the “Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (or any successor system)(“▇▇▇▇▇”).

“Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus approved by the Agents and the Forward Sellers or, in the case of a specific offer and sale of Shares, the applicable Agents pursuant to Section 3(l) hereof, that is furnished to the applicable Agents, the applicable Forward Sellers and/or the applicable Forward Purchasers, as the case may be, for general distribution to investors, as evidenced by communications between the Company and the applicable Agents, the applicable Forward Sellers and/or the applicable Forward Purchasers, as the case may be.

(b) The Shares are to be sold to or through an Agent or any Forward Seller, as applicable, on any day (other than a day on which the NYSE is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time) (each, a “Trading Day”) on which (i) the Company has instructed such Agent or such Forward Seller to make such sales and (ii) the Company has satisfied its covenants and conditions specified in Sections 4 and 5 hereof. Such instruction shall also specify whether such Shares (i) will be sold through an Agent, as sales agent, in accordance with clause 2(a)(1) above or (ii) borrowed by a Forward Purchaser and sold through the applicable Forward Seller, in connection with hedging a forward stock purchase transaction pursuant to a Confirmation in accordance with clause 2(a)(2) above.

On any Trading Day, the Company may sell Shares through only one Agent or one Forward Seller and, if it determines to do so, shall instruct the applicable Agent or applicable Forward Seller by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by such Agent or such Forward Seller) as to the maximum number of Shares to be sold on such Trading Day and the minimum price per Share at which such Shares may be sold. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitation shall not apply to sales solely to employees or security holders of the Company or its subsidiaries or to a trustee or other person acquiring Shares for the accounts of such persons in which any of the Agents or Forward Sellers is acting for the Company in a capacity other than as Agent or Forward Seller under this Agreement or as principal under any Terms Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions specified herein (including, without limitation, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations, contained herein and the satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 5 hereof), such Agent or such Forward Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations, to sell all of the Shares so designated by the Company as sales agent (whether acting as agent of the Company or as Forward Seller on behalf of any Forward Purchaser) in accordance with such instruction. On any Trading Day, the Company shall give at least one business day’s prior written notice by telecopy or email to the applicable Agents, the applicable Forward Sellers and the applicable Forward Purchasers as to any change of the Agent or the Forward Seller through whom sales of Shares will be made. With respect to any instruction accepted by

a Forward Seller, the applicable Forward Purchaser (or agent thereof) shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulation, to borrow the number of Shares designated by the Company. Any Confirmation to be entered into between the Company and a Forward Purchaser under clause 2(a)(2) in connection with an instruction provided by the Company under clause 2(b)(ii) and accepted by the applicable Forward Seller under this Section 2 shall include each of the Proposed Confirmation Terms when delivered by the Forward Purchaser to the Company for execution unless the Company has agreed otherwise in writing prior to the delivery of such Confirmation for execution. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Confirmation or Terms Agreement, the terms of such Confirmation or Terms Agreement, as applicable, will control. The Company, the Agents and the Forward Sellers each acknowledge and agree that (A) there can be no assurance that any Agent or any Forward Seller will be successful in selling any Shares or that any Forward Purchaser or any of its affiliates will be successful in borrowing, offering and selling Shares through the applicable Forward Seller, and (B) none of the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers will incur any liability or obligation to the Company as sales agent (whether acting as agent of the Company or as Forward Seller) if any Agent or any Forward Seller fails to sell Shares for any reason other than a failure to use such Agent’s or such Forward Seller’s respective commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations, to sell such Shares as required by this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, any instruction provided to Nomura Securities International, Inc., as Forward Seller, is also subject to acceptance by BTIG, LLC, and such instruction shall not be effective against Nomura Securities International, Inc. until accepted by both Nomura Securities International, Inc. and BTIG, LLC. Such instruction, for the avoidance of doubt, may be accepted or rejected by Nomura Securities International, Inc. or BTIG, LLC, in its sole discretion.

(c) The Company or the Agent or the Forward Seller, as applicable, through whom the sale of Shares are to be made on any Trading Day may, upon notice to the other party hereto by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by the receiving party), suspend the offering of Shares with respect to which such Agent or such Forward Seller is acting as sales agent for any reason and at any time; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice, or with respect to Shares that are subject to any Terms Agreement or any outstanding Confirmation entered into prior to the giving of such notice.

(d) The gross sales price of any Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement by the applicable Agent or applicable Forward Seller shall be equal to, in the discretion of such Agent or such Forward Seller but subject to the specific instructions of the Company, the market price prevailing at the time of sale for the Shares sold by such Agent or such Forward Seller on the NYSE or otherwise, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. In connection with Section 2(a)(1) above, the compensation payable to an Agent for sales of Shares with respect to which such Agent acts as sales agent for the Company shall be at a mutually agreed rate, not to exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement. In connection with sales pursuant to Section 2(a)(2) of this Agreement, the compensation payable to such Forward Seller for sales of Shares will not exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price for such Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Confirmation and shall be paid by the Company exclusively through the determination of “Initial Forward Price” under the applicable Confirmation. The Company may sell Shares to an Agent or Agents as principal at a price agreed upon at the relevant Applicable Time and pursuant to a separate Terms Agreement. The remaining proceeds, after further deduction for any transaction fees, transfer taxes or similar taxes or fees imposed by any Governmental Entity or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company or a Forward Purchaser, as applicable, for such sales (the “Net Proceeds”). The applicable Agent or the applicable Forward Seller shall notify the Company as promptly as practicable if any deduction referenced in the preceding sentence will be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company engages an Agent or Forward Seller for the sale of Shares that would constitute a “distribution” within the meaning of Rule 100 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act, the Company and such Agent or such Forward Seller will agree to compensation for such Agent or such Forward Seller that is customary for such sales.

(e) If acting as sales agent hereunder, the applicable Agent shall provide written confirmation to the Company following the close of trading on the NYSE on each Trading Day on which Shares are sold under this Agreement. With respect to any sales by an Agent as sales agent for the Company, such Agent shall provide written confirmation setting forth the number of Shares sold on such day, the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the Shares, the aggregate Net Proceeds to the Company and the aggregate compensation payable by the Company to such Agent with respect to such sales. With respect to any sales by a Forward Seller, such Forward Seller shall provide written confirmation setting forth the number of borrowed Shares sold on such day, the aggregate Net Proceeds to the applicable Forward Purchaser and the then-current “Initial Forward Price” under any Confirmation with respect to which Shares have been sold on such day promptly following the close of trading on the NYSE on such day.

(f) Under no circumstances shall the aggregate gross sales price or number, as the case may be, of Shares offered or sold pursuant to this Agreement, any Confirmation and any Terms Agreement, or which are the subject of instructions to an Agent or Forward Seller pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, exceed the aggregate gross sales price or number, as the case may be, of Shares (i) referred to in the preamble paragraph of this Agreement, as reduced by prior sales of Shares under this Agreement, (ii) available for sale under the Registration Statement or (iii) duly authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement or any Terms Agreement by the Company or approved for listing on the NYSE, and, in each case referred to in clause (ii) and (iii), notified to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers in writing (email shall constitute written notice for this Section 2(f)). In addition, under no circumstances shall any Shares to be sold through any Agent or any Forward Seller be offered or sold, or be the subject of instructions to such Agent or such Forward Seller pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, at a price lower than the minimum price therefor duly authorized from time to time by the Company and notified to such Agent or such Forward Seller and any affiliated Forward Purchaser in writing, and the Company shall not enter into any Confirmation with respect to a number of Confirmation Shares in excess of the number of Confirmation Shares duly authorized, reserved and available from time to time for issuance and sale under such Confirmation or listed or approved for listing on the NYSE. None of the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers shall have responsibility for maintaining records with respect to Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement, any Terms Agreement or any Confirmation, Shares available for sale under the Registration Statement or for determining the aggregate gross sales price, number or minimum price of Shares duly authorized by the Company.

(g) If the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the 1934 Act are not satisfied with respect to the Company or the Shares, the Company shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and future offers and sales of Shares through the Agents and the Forward Sellers, in each case on an agented basis under this Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party. If the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the 1934 Act become satisfied with respect to the Company or the Shares, the Company shall promptly notify the other parties hereto.

(h) Settlement for sales of Shares will occur on the second business day that is also a Trading Day following the trade date on which such sales are made, unless another date shall be agreed to in writing by the Company or applicable Forward Purchaser, as applicable, and the applicable Agent, the applicable Agents or the applicable Forward Seller (each such day, a “Settlement Date”). On each date of settlement for the sale of Shares through an Agent acting as sales agent for the Company pursuant to Section 2(a)(1) hereof (each such day, a “Direct Settlement Date”), or through a Forward Seller pursuant to Section 2(a)(2) hereof (each such day, a “Forward Settlement Date” and, together with a Direct Settlement Date, each, a “Settlement Date”), the Shares sold through the applicable Agent or applicable Forward Seller for settlement on such date shall be delivered by the Company or the Forward Purchaser, as the case may be, to the applicable Agent or applicable Forward Seller against payment of (i) the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Shares or (ii) the aggregate gross price from the sale of such Shares (the “Gross Proceeds”) as mutually agreed between the Company or the Forward Purchaser, as applicable, and the applicable Agent or applicable Forward Seller. Settlement for all Shares shall be effected by book-entry delivery of Shares to the applicable Agent’s or applicable Forward Seller’s account at The Depository Trust Company against payment by the applicable Agent or applicable Forward Seller of the Net Proceeds or Gross Proceeds, as applicable, from the sale of such Shares in same day funds delivered to an account designated in writing by the Company or the Forward Purchaser, as applicable. If the Company shall default on its obligation to deliver Shares on any Settlement Date, the Company and the Operating Company, jointly and severally, shall (i) indemnify and hold the applicable Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company and (ii) pay the applicable Agent any commission to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default. In the event the Company or Forward Purchaser and the Agent or the Forward Seller have mutually agreed to the delivery of Gross Proceeds on the Settlement Date, the compensation payable to such Agent or Forward Seller shall be set forth and invoiced in a statement from the Agent or the Forward Seller to the Company or Forward Purchaser and payment shall be made by the Company or Forward Purchaser promptly after its receipt thereof.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not offer or sell, or instruct an Agent or a Forward Seller to offer or sell, any Shares through an Agent or Forward Seller (and, by notice to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers given by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email), shall cancel any instructions for any such offer or sale of any Shares prior to the commencement of the periods referenced below), and the Agents and the Forward Sellers shall not be obligated to make any such offer or

sale of Shares, (i) during any period in which the Company is, or could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information or (ii) except as provided in Section 2(j) hereof, at any time during the period commencing on the business day prior to the time the Company issues a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other operating results for a fiscal period or periods (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K (a “Filing Time”) that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same fiscal period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement.

(j) Notwithstanding clause (ii) of Section 2(i) hereof, if the Company wishes that Shares be offered and sold at any time during the period from and including an Earnings Announcement through and including the corresponding Filing Time, the Company shall first (i) prepare and deliver to the applicable Agent, the applicable Forward Seller and/or the applicable Forward Purchaser (with a copy to counsel for the Agents and Forward Purchasers) a Current Report on Form 8-K that includes substantially the same financial and related information (together with management’s discussion and analysis thereof) that was included in such Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings projections and similar forward-looking data and officers’ quotations) (each, an “Earnings 8-K”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Agent, such Forward Seller and/or such Forward Purchaser and, prior to its filing, obtain the written consent of such Agent, such Forward Seller and/or such Forward Purchaser to such filing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) provide such Agent, such Forward Seller and/or such Forward Purchaser with the officers’ certificate, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letter specified in Section 3(o), (p) and (q), respectively, hereof, (iii) afford such Agent, such Forward Seller and/or such Forward Purchaser the opportunity to conduct a due diligence review in accordance with Section 3(t) hereof prior to filing such Earnings 8-K and (iv) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that (A) the delivery of any officers’ certificate, opinion or letter of counsel or accountants’ letter pursuant to this Section 2(j) shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, including, without limitation, the obligation to deliver officers’ certificates, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letters as provided in Section 3(o), (p) and (q), respectively, hereof, and (B) this Section 2(j) shall in no way affect or limit the operation of clause (i) of Section 2(i) hereof, which shall have independent application.

(k) The Agents shall not have any obligation to purchase Shares as principal, whether from the Company or otherwise, unless the Company and the applicable Agents agree as set forth below. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ purchased from the Company by the applicable Agents, individually or in a syndicate, as principal shall be made in accordance with terms agreed upon between such Agents and the Company as evidenced by a Terms Agreement. The applicable Agents’ commitment to purchase Shares from the Company as principal shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company, and performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations, herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. At the time of each Terms Agreement, the applicable Agents shall specify the requirements, if any, for the officers’ certificate, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letter pursuant to Section 3(o), (p) and (q), respectively, hereof. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement shall control.

(l) In the event that either (i) a Forward Purchaser (or an agent thereof) is unable to borrow and deliver any Shares for sale with respect to an instruction under this Agreement after using commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulation, or (ii) in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Forward Purchaser, such Forward Purchaser (or its agent) would incur a stock loan cost that is equal to or greater than the Initial Stock Loan Rate to do so, then the obligation herein of the applicable Forward Seller with respect to such instruction shall only extend to the aggregate number of Shares that the Forward Purchaser (or its agent) is able to so borrow below such cost. For purposes of this Section 2(l), “Initial Stock Loan Rate” shall mean the number of basis points per annum specified in the text opposite “Additional Adjustment” in the relevant Confirmation.

Section 3. Covenants. Each of the Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, agrees with the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers:

(a) Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests. The Company, subject to Section 3(b) and 3(c) hereof, will comply with the requirements of Rule 430B, and will notify the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers as soon as reasonably practicable, and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any new registration statement relating to the Shares shall

become effective or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus shall have been filed (other than an amendment or supplement providing solely for the determination of the terms of an offering of securities unless related to an offering of Shares, as to which the Company will only be obligated to notify the applicable Agents, Forward Sellers and/or Forward Purchasers, as applicable), (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein, or for additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or any notice of objection to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) or of the issuance of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or of the suspension of the qualification of any Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the 1933 Act concerning the Registration Statement and (v) if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with any offering of Shares. In connection with a Terms Agreement, the Company will prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(c) hereof, a pricing supplement with respect to the offer and sale of Shares covered by such Terms Agreement. The Company will effect all filings required under Rule 424(b), in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus. The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop, prevention or suspension order and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof as soon as reasonably practicable. In the event of any issuance of a notice of objection, by the Commission, the Company shall take all necessary action to permit offers and sales of Shares by or through the Agents and the Forward Sellers, including, without limitation, amending the Registration Statement or filing a new shelf registration statement relating thereto. The Company shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Shares prior to the time the initial Prospectus Supplement is filed with the Commission or the time any subsequent Prospectus Supplement that increases the gross offering price or number of Shares that may offered and sold under this Agreement from that referenced in the immediately preceding Prospectus Supplement filed with the Commission.

(b) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company will comply with the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of sales of Shares as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. If any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers or counsel to the Company, to (i) amend the Registration Statement in order that the Registration Statement will not include 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, (ii) amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order that the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser or (iii) amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, including, without limitation, the filing of any document incorporated by reference therein, in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations, the Company will promptly (A) give the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of a an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agents as principal, such Agents written notice of such event or condition, (B) prepare any amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to comply with such requirements and, a reasonable amount of time prior to any proposed filing or use, furnish the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, with copies of any such amendment or supplement and (C) file with the Commission any such amendment or supplement and use its reasonable best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable if the Company is no longer eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not file or use any such amendment or supplement to which the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, or counsel for the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers shall reasonably object.

(c) Filing or Use of Amendments and Supplements. The Company will give the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of a an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agents as principal, such Agents written notice of its intention to file or use (i) any amendment to the Registration Statement or any

amendment or supplement to the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (other than an amendment or supplement thereto relating solely to the offering of securities unless related to an offering of Shares), whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, (ii) any new Prospectus Supplement that includes information in addition to the information referred to in Section 3(n) hereof or (iii) a pricing supplement disclosing the offer and sale of Shares covered by a Terms Agreement, will furnish the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, with copies of any such document a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, or counsel for the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers shall reasonably object.

(d) Delivery of Registration Statements. The Company has furnished or will deliver to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers and counsel for the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts. The signed copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers and counsel for the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(e) Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company will furnish to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agents as principal, such Agents, without charge, upon execution of this Agreement and thereafter during the period in which a prospectus is (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 172”), would be) required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with any offer or sale of Shares, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as the Agents, the Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, may reasonably request. The Company will also furnish, upon request of the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) to each exchange or market on which sales of Shares were made as may be required by the rules and regulations of such exchange or market. The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished in accordance with this Section 3(e) will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(f) Reporting Requirements. The Company, during the period in which a prospectus is (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172, would be) required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with any offer or sale of Shares, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act within the time periods prescribed by, and meeting the requirements of, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations. Additionally, the Company shall report the use of the net proceeds from the sale of any Shares as may be required under the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, including, if applicable, Rule 463 of the 1933 Act Regulations.

(g) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts, in cooperation with the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agents as principal, such Agents to qualify the Shares for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and non-U.S. jurisdictions as the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, may, from time to time, designate and to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required to complete the sale of the Shares contemplated by 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 foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(h) Earnings Statement. The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.

(i) Use of Proceeds. The Company and the Operating Partnership will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement, or under any Confirmation, in the manner specified in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

(j) Listing. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect and maintain the listing of the Shares and Confirmation Shares on, and satisfy the requirements of, the NYSE.

(k) Notice of Certain Actions. During each period commencing on the date on which the Company provides sales instructions to an Agent or a Forward Seller and ending after the close of business on the Settlement Date for the related transaction, the Company will not, without giving the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers at least three business days’ prior written notice, (i) directly or indirectly offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares or file any registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to any of the foregoing or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Common Shares, whether any such swap, agreement or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) the Shares to be sold hereunder, (B) any Common Shares issued by the Company upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof and referred to in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (C) any Common Shares issued or options to purchase Common Shares granted pursuant to existing employee benefit plans of the Company referred to in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or (D) any Common Shares issued pursuant to any non-employee director stock plan or dividend reinvestment plan referred to in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Upon receipt of any written notice contemplated above, an Agent or Forward Seller may suspend its activity under this Agreement for such period of time as deemed appropriate by such Agent or such Forward Seller.

(l) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the applicable Agents, the applicable Forward Sellers and/or the applicable Forward Purchasers, it will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” or a portion thereof, required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433. The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each such free writing prospectus consented to by the applicable Agents, the applicable Forward Sellers and/or the applicable Forward Purchasers as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and that it will comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 433 with respect thereto, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the 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 existing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the applicable Agents, the applicable Forward Sellers and/or the applicable Forward Purchasers and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

(m) No Stabilization or Manipulation. The Company agrees that neither it nor any affiliate of the Company has taken or will take, directly or indirectly, any action which is designed, or would reasonably be expected, to cause or result in, or which constitutes, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any Shares or to result in a violation of Regulation M under the 1934 Act.

(n) Update of Activity under this Agreement. The Company shall disclose (i) in each Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Company in respect of any fiscal quarterly period (which, in the case of an Annual Report on Form 10-K, would mean the last quarterly period of the fiscal year) in which sales of Shares were made by or through an Agent under this Agreement or any Terms Agreement (each date on which any such document or amendment thereto is filed, a “Company Periodic Report Date”), or (ii) to the extent required by applicable law and/or interpretations of the Commission, in Prospectus Supplements for each such fiscal quarterly period, (1) the number of Shares sold by or through the Agents under this Agreement or any Terms Agreement during such fiscal quarterly period, (2) the number of borrowed Shares sold by the Forward Sellers, in connection with any Confirmation and (3) the net proceeds received by the Company and the applicable Forward Purchasers and the aggregate compensation paid by the Company to the Agents and Forward Sellers in connection with the transactions described in clauses (1) and (2).

(o) Delivery of Future Officers’ Certificates. Upon commencement of the offering of Shares under this Agreement, (A) each time Shares are delivered to the applicable Agents as principal on a Settlement Date, (B) promptly after each (i) date on which the Registration Statement shall be amended or a new registration statement relating to the Shares shall become effective or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented (other than (1) by an amendment or supplement providing solely for the determination of the terms of securities, including the Shares, (2) in connection with the filing of a Prospectus Supplement that contains solely the information referred to in Section 3(n) hereof, or (3) in connection with the filing of any Current Report on Form 8-K (other than an Earnings 8-K and any other Current Report on Form 8-K which contains financial statements, supporting schedules or other financial data, including any Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 2.02 of such form that is considered “filed” under the 1934 Act) (each such date, a “Registration Statement Amendment Date”)), (ii) date on which an Earnings 8-K shall be filed with the Commission as contemplated by Section 2(j) hereof (a “Company Earnings Report Date”) and (iii) Company Periodic Report Date, and (C) promptly after each reasonable request by the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers (each date of any such request by the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers, a “Request Date”), the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, the applicable Agents an officers’ certificate, dated such Settlement Date, such Registration Statement Amendment Date, such Company Earnings Report Date, such Company Periodic Report Date or such Request Date, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be, to the effect that the statements contained in the officers’ certificate referred to in Section 5(f) hereof that was last furnished to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be, are true and correct as of the date of such certificate as though made at and as of the date of such certificate (except that such statements shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented at the date of such certificate) or, in lieu of such certificate, a certificate of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in Section 5(f) hereof that, but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented at the date of such certificate. As used in this Section 3(o), to the extent there shall be a sale of Shares on or following any Registration Statement Amendment Date, Company Earnings Report Date, Company Periodic Report Date or Request Date, “promptly” shall be deemed to be at or prior to the Applicable Time for such sale.

The requirement to cause to be furnished officers’ certificates pursuant to this Section 3(o) shall be waived for any Registration Statement Amendment Date or Company Periodic Report Date occurring at a time at which the Company has not instructed any Agent or any Forward Seller to sell Shares as provided in Section 2(b), which waiver shall continue until the date on which the Company delivers such an instruction as provided in Section 2(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following any Registration Statement Amendment Date or Company Periodic Report Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers officers’ certificates pursuant to this Section 3(o), then no Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser shall be required or requested to make offers or sales of, or borrow, Shares until such time as it has received the officers’ certificate contemplated by this Section 3(o) dated as of the date of delivery thereof.

(p) Delivery of Future Opinions and Letters of Counsel. Upon commencement of the offering of Shares under this Agreement, (A) each time Shares are delivered to the applicable Agents as principal on a Settlement Date and (B) promptly after each Registration Statement Amendment Date, Company Earnings Report Date, Company Periodic Report Date or Request Date, the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, the applicable Agents the written opinions and letters of each of counsel to the Company (who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers) or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be,) and counsel to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, dated such Settlement Date, such Registration Statement Amendment Date, such Company Earnings Report Date, such Company Periodic Report Date or such Request Date, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be, of the same tenor as the respective opinions and letters referred to in Section 5(b) and 5(c), as applicable, hereof but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the date of such opinion and letter or, in lieu of any such opinion and letter, counsel last furnishing such opinion and letter to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be, shall furnish the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be, with a letter substantially to the effect that the Agents, the Forward Sellers

and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be, may rely on such counsel’s last opinion and letter to the same extent as though each were dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last opinion and letter shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter authorizing reliance). As used in this Section 3(p), to the extent there shall be a sale of Shares on or following any Registration Statement Amendment Date, Company Earnings Report Date, Company Periodic Report Date or Request Date, “promptly” shall be deemed to be at or prior to the Applicable Time for such sale.

The requirement to cause to be furnished the opinions and letters pursuant to this Section 3(p) shall be waived for any Registration Statement Amendment Date or Company Periodic Report Date occurring at a time at which the Company has not instructed any Agent or any Forward Seller to sell Shares as provided in Section 2(b), which waiver shall continue until the date on which the Company delivers such an instruction as provided in Section 2(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following any Registration Statement Amendment Date or Company Periodic Report Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and/or the Forward Purchasers the opinions and letters pursuant to this Section 3(p), then before the Company instructs any Agent or any Forward Seller to sell any Shares or enters into any Terms Agreement with any Agent or Agents or any Confirmations with any Forward Purchaser or Forward Purchasers, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers (or the applicable Agent(s)) the opinions and letters pursuant to this Section 3(p) dated as of the date of delivery thereof.

(q) Delivery of Future Accountants’ Letters. Upon commencement of the offering of Shares under this Agreement, (A) each time Shares are delivered to the applicable Agents as principal on a Settlement Date and (B) promptly after each Registration Statement Amendment Date, Company Earnings Report Date, Company Periodic Report Date or Request Date, the Company will cause its independent accountants to furnish to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, the applicable Agents a letter, dated such Settlement Date, such Registration Statement Amendment Date, such Company Earnings Report Date, such Company Periodic Report Date or such Request Date, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be, of the same tenor as the letter referred to in Section 5(d) hereof but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter. As used in this paragraph, to the extent there shall be a sale of Shares on or following any Registration Statement Amendment Date, Company Earnings Report Date, Company Periodic Report Date or Request Date, “promptly” shall be deemed to be at or prior to the Applicable Time for such sale.

The requirement to cause to be furnished accountant letter(s) pursuant to this Section 3(q) shall be waived for any Registration Statement Amendment Date or Company Periodic Report Date occurring at a time at which the Company has not instructed any Agent or any Forward Seller to sell Shares as provided in Section 2(b), which waiver shall continue until the date on which the Company delivers such an instruction as provided in Section 2(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following any Registration Statement Amendment Date or Company Periodic Report Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and/or the Forward Purchasers accountant letter(s) pursuant to this Section 3(q), then before the Company instructs any Agent or any Forward Seller to sell any Shares or enters into any Terms Agreement with any Agent or Agents or any Confirmations with any Forward Purchaser or Forward Purchasers, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers (or the applicable Agent(s)) accountant letter(s) pursuant to this Section 3(q) dated as of the date of delivery thereof.

(r) Trading in the Common Shares. The Company consents to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers trading in the Common Shares for the Agents’, the Forward Sellers’ and the Forward Purchasers’ respective accounts and for the accounts of their respective clients at the same time as sales of Shares occur pursuant to this Agreement, any Confirmation or any Terms Agreement.

(s) Due Diligence Review. The Company will cooperate with any due diligence review reasonably requested by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or counsel for the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, fully and in a timely manner, in connections with offers and sales of Shares from time to time, including, without limitation, and upon reasonable notice, providing information and making available documents and appropriate corporate officers, during regular business hours and at the Company’s principal offices.

(t) Renewal Deadline. If, immediately prior to the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Renewal Deadline”), this Agreement is still in effect or any Shares purchased by an Agent as principal remain unsold, the Company will, prior to the Renewal Deadline, (i) promptly notify the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers and (ii) promptly file, if it is eligible to do so, a new automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Shares, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers. If, at the time the Company intends to file such a new automatic shelf registration statement, it is not eligible to do so, the Company will, prior to the Renewal Deadline, (i) promptly notify the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, (ii) promptly file a new shelf registration statement on the proper form relating to the Shares, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such new shelf registration statement to be declared effective within 60 days after the Renewal Deadline and (iv) promptly notify the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers of such effectiveness. The Company will take all other action reasonably necessary or appropriate to permit the offering and sale of the Shares to continue as contemplated in the expired Registration Statement. References herein to the “Registration Statement” shall include such new automatic shelf registration statement or such new shelf registration statement, as the case may be.

(u) Ceasing Eligibility For Use of Automatic Shelf Registration Statement Form. If, at any time, during the term of this Agreement or otherwise when Shares purchased by an Agent as principal remain unsold, the Company receives a notice from the Commission pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) or otherwise ceases to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration statement form, the Company will (i) promptly notify the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, (ii) promptly file a new shelf registration statement or post-effective amendment on the proper form relating to such Shares, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such new shelf registration statement or post-effective amendment to be declared effective as soon as practicable and (iv) promptly notify the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers of such effectiveness. The Company will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the offering and sale of the Shares to continue as contemplated in the Registration Statement that was the subject of the Rule 401(g)(2) notice or for which the Company has otherwise become ineligible. References herein to the “Registration Statement” shall include such new shelf registration statement or post-effective amendment, as the case may be.

(v) Long Positions in Common Shares. In connection with entering into any Confirmation, neither the Company, the Operating Partnership nor any of their respective affiliates will acquire any long position (either directly or indirectly, including through a derivative transaction) with respect to the Common Shares.

Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except the provisions of Sections 1, 3(h), 4, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15 and 16 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

Section 6. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers. The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, their respective affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations (each, an “Affiliate”)), selling agents, officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls an Agent, a Forward Seller or a Forward Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included (A) in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (B) in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company or the Operating Partnership in connection with the marketing of any offering of Shares (“Marketing Materials”), including any roadshow or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically), or the omission or alleged omission in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any Marketing Materials of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company or the Operating Partnership;

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, or in the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agent Information.

(b) Indemnification of Company, Directors and Officers. Each Agent, each Forward Seller and each Forward Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership, each of their directors, each of their officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 6(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, or in the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agent Information.

(c) Actions Against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company or the Operating Partnership. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the prior written consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the

indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim 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.

Section 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (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 the applicable Agent, Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser, on the other hand, from the applicable offering of Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) 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 applicable Agent(s), Forward Seller(s) and Forward Purchaser(s), on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the applicable Agent(s), Forward Seller(s) and Forward Purchaser(s), on the other hand, in connection with the applicable offering of Shares pursuant to this Agreement, any Confirmation and any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Operating Partnership (which shall be deemed to include the proceeds that would be received by the Company upon physical settlement of any Confirmation Shares sold under any Confirmation assuming that the aggregate amount payable by the applicable Forward Purchaser under such Confirmation is equal to the aggregate amount of the net proceeds realized upon the sales of the Shares), on the one hand, bear to the total commissions or underwriting discounts received by the applicable Agent(s), Forward Seller(s) and Forward Purchaser(s), on the other hand. For the avoidance of doubt, the net proceeds received by a Forward Purchaser upon the sale of Shares by a Forward Seller shall be calculated based on the aggregate value of the Spread (as defined in the related Confirmation) retained by such Forward Purchaser in respect of the forward stock purchase transaction related to such Shares (net of any hedging and other costs associated with such transaction and the related Confirmation).

The relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the applicable Agent(s), Forward Seller(s) or Forward Purchaser(s), on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Operating Partnership or by the applicable Agent(s), Forward Seller(s) or Forward Purchaser(s) and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Operating Partnership and the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the applicable Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Agent and no Forward Seller shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total commissions or underwriting discounts received by such Agent or such Forward Seller or its related Forward Purchaser in connection with Shares placed or underwritten by it for sale to the public.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Agent, a Forward Seller or a Forward Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and an Agent’s, a Forward Seller’s or a Forward Purchaser’s Affiliates, selling agents, officers and directors shall have the same rights to contribution as such Agent, such Forward Seller or such Forward Purchaser, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Agents’, the Forward Sellers’ and the Forward Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the number of Shares placed or underwritten by it in the applicable offering.

Section 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of its subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of an Agent, a Forward Seller, a Forward Purchaser or its Affiliates, selling agents, officers or directors or any person controlling such Agent, such Forward Seller or such Forward Purchaser, or the Company, the Operating Partnership or its officers or directors, or any person controlling the Company or the Operating Partnership and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Shares.

Section 9. Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated for any reason, at any time, by either the Company or an Agent, a Forward Seller or a Forward Purchaser, as to itself, upon the giving of written notice to the other parties hereto.

(b) The applicable Agent may terminate a Terms Agreement to which they are a party, at any time at or prior to the Settlement Date, (i) if there has been, in such judgment of such Agent, since the time of execution of such 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 Change, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of such Agent, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering of Shares contemplated by such Terms Agreement or to enforce contracts for the sale of such Shares, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the NYSE, or (iv) if trading generally on the NYSE, the NYSE Amex or Nasdaq has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other Governmental Entity, or (v) if a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or with respect to the systems of Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, or Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V., in Europe, or (vi) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

(c) If the Company, the Operating Partnership and two or more Agents enter into a Terms Agreement pursuant to which such Agents agree to purchase Shares from the Company as principal and one or more of such Agents shall fail at the Settlement Date to purchase the Shares which it or they are obligated to purchase (the “Defaulted Shares”), then the non-defaulting Agents shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one of them or one or more other Agents or underwriters to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Shares in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; provided, however, that if such arrangements shall not have been completed within such 24-hour period, then:

(i) if the number of Defaulted Shares does not exceed 10% of the number of Shares to be so purchased by all of such Agents on the Settlement Date, the nondefaulting Agents shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective initial purchase obligation bears to the purchase obligations of all nondefaulting Agents; or

(ii) if the number of Defaulted Shares exceeds 10% of the number of Shares to be so purchased by all of such Agents on the Settlement Date, such Terms Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Agent.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 9(c) shall relieve any defaulting Agent from liability in respect of its default. In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of such Terms Agreement, either the nondefaulting Agents or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Settlement Date 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.

(d) In the event of any termination under this Section 9, neither party will have any liability to the other party hereto, except that (i) the Agents and the Forward Sellers shall be entitled to any commissions earned in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, (ii) if at the time of termination (a) an Agent shall own any Shares purchased by it as principal or (b) an offer to purchase any Shares has been accepted by the Company but the Settlement Date has not occurred, the covenants set forth in Section 3 hereof shall remain in effect until such Shares are resold or so delivered, as the case may be, and (iii) the covenant set forth in Section 3(h) hereof, the provisions of Section 4 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreements set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, and the provisions of Sections 8, 13, 14, 15 and 16 hereof shall remain in effect.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no termination of this Agreement shall effect the validity, effectiveness or enforceability of any executed Confirmation or any executed Terms Agreement and any such executed Confirmation and executed Terms Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination (subject to the terms and conditions of such Confirmation and such Terms Agreement).

Exhibit A

FORM OF OPINION OF COMPANY’S COUNSEL

TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(c)

The execution and delivery of the Sales Agreement by the Company and the Operating Partnership, the execution and delivery of any Forward Confirmation by the Company, assuming such Forward Confirmation was executed and delivered on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement and such Forward Confirmation, and the issuance and sale of the Primary Shares by the Company through or to you pursuant to the Sales Agreement and the issuance and delivery of Confirmation Shares by the Company to the applicable Forward Purchaser pursuant to any Forward Confirmation, assuming such Confirmation Shares were issued, sold and/or delivered to the applicable Forward Purchaser on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Forward Confirmation, do not on the date hereof:

result in the breach of, or a default under, any of the Specified Agreements;

ii.

violate any federal or New York statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the Operating Partnership; or

iii.

require any consents, approvals, permits or authorizations to be obtained by the Company or the Operating Partnership from, or any registrations, declarations or filings to be made by the Company or the Operating Partnership with, any governmental authority under any federal or New York statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the Operating Partnership on or prior to the date hereof that have not been obtained or made.

The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act. With your consent, based solely on a review of a list of stop orders on the Commission’s website at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇ on the date hereof, we confirm that no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Act and no proceedings therefor have been initiated by the Commission. The Prospectus has been filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and 430B under the Act.

The Registration Statement, at December 6, 2023, including the information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act, and the Prospectus, as of its date, each appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable form requirements for registration statements on Form S-3 under the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; it being understood, however, that we express no view with respect to Regulation S T or the financial statements, schedules or other financial data included or incorporated by reference in, or omitted from, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. For purposes of this paragraph, we have assumed that the statements made in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus are correct and complete.

Each of the Incorporated Documents, as of its respective filing date, appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable form requirements for reports on Form 10-K, 10-Q and Form 8-K, registration statements on Form 8-A or proxy statements under Regulation 14A, as the case may be, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; it being understood, however, that we express no view with respect to Regulation S-T or the financial statements, schedules or other financial data included or incorporated by reference in, or omitted from, the Incorporated Documents. For purposes of this paragraph, we have assumed that the statements made in the Incorporated Documents are correct and complete.

Exhibit A-1

The Company and the Operating Partnership are not, and immediately after giving effect to the sale by the Company of Primary Shares and/or sale by the applicable Forward Purchasers through the related Forward Sellers of Forward Hedge Shares with an aggregate gross sales price up to the Maximum Program Amount, in each case in accordance with the Sales Agreement, and the issuance and delivery by the Company of the Confirmation Shares to the applicable Forward Purchasers in full physical settlement of the Company’s obligations under the applicable Forward Confirmations, assuming such Confirmation Shares were issued and delivered to such Forward Purchasers on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Forward Confirmations, and the application of the proceeds from the sale of such Shares as described in the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds,” the Company and the Operating Partnership will be not, required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Based on our participation, review and reliance as described above, we advise you that no facts came to our attention that caused us to believe that:

•

the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective on December 6, 2023, including the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act (together with the Incorporated Documents at that date), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or

•

the Prospectus, as of the date hereof (together with the Incorporated Documents at that date), contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

Exhibit A-2

Exhibit B

FORM OF OPINION OF COMPANY’S TAX COUNSEL

TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(c)

Commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1993, the Company has been organized and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and its proposed method of operation will enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code.

2.	The statements set forth in the Base Prospectus under the caption “Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they purport to describe or summarize certain provisions of the statutes or regulations referred to therein, are accurate descriptions or summaries in all material respects.

Exhibit B-1

Exhibit C

FORM OF OPINION OF COMPANY’S NORTH CAROLINA COUNSEL

TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(c)

1.	The Company is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina.

2.	The Operating Partnership is a limited partnership validly existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina.

3.	The Operating Partnership is qualified to transact business as a foreign limited partnership in each jurisdiction listed on Schedule II to this opinion.

4.	The Company has the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Sales Agreement and to carry on its business as now conducted as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

The Operating Partnership has the power under the Certificate of Limited Partnership, the Agreement of Limited Partnership and the North Carolina Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Sales Agreement and to carry on its business as now conducted as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

6.	The Company has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement of Limited Partnership by all necessary action under its Bylaws. The Agreement of Limited Partnership is valid, binding and enforceable against the Company.

7.	All of the partnership interests of the Operating Partnership have been issued in accordance with the Agreement of Limited Partnership.

8.	The Company has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of the Sales Agreement by all necessary corporate action. The Company has duly executed and delivered the Sales Agreement.

The Operating Partnership has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of the Sales Agreement by all necessary action under the Certificate of Limited Partnership, the Agreement of Limited Partnership and the North Carolina Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Operating Partnership has duly executed and delivered the Sales Agreement.

10.

The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and is entitled to all rights, benefits, interests and preferences as a general partner of a North Carolina limited partnership under the laws of the State of North Carolina and the Agreement of Limited Partnership (including, without limitation, those rights, benefits, interests and preferences afforded to the Company as a holder of the partnership units under the Agreement of Limited Partnership).

11.

We are not representing the Company or the Operating Partnership in any pending litigation in which either the Company or the Operating Partnership is a named defendant, or in any litigation that is overtly threatened in writing against either the Company or the Operating Partnership by a potential claimant, that challenges the validity or enforceability of, or seeks to enjoin the performance of, the Sales Agreement.

12.	The execution and delivery of the Sales Agreement by the Company and the Operating Partnership and the consummation by the Company and the Operating Partnership of the transactions provided for in the Sales Agreement do not:

(a)

violate any provision of the Amended Articles or Bylaws of the Company or the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership;

Exhibit C-1

(b)

to our knowledge, violate any applicable law of the state of North Carolina or any order of any court or governmental authority that is binding on the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their respective assets; or

(c)

violate or constitute a breach of or default under any of the Credit Agreements (no opinion, however, is given as to whether the execution and delivery of the Sales Agreement would cause any financial covenants in any Credit Agreement to be violated).

13.

Except for (a) the right to exchange units of the Operating Partnership for common stock of the Company, (b) rights with respect to share options and restricted shares granted pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Incentive Award Plan, amended and restated effective May 19, 2023, as amended to date, and (c) as provided in Section 4.5 and Section 11.3 of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, no shareholder of the Company or holder of units of the Operating Partnership or any other person has any preemptive right, right of first refusal or other similar right to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company or the Operating Partnership arising by operation of the Amended Articles or Bylaws of the Company or the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership or the North Carolina Business Corporation Act.

14.

The Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company for issuance and sale by the Company pursuant to the Sales Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to the Sales Agreement against payment of the consideration set forth in the Sales Agreement, will be validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable. The Confirmation Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company for issuance pursuant to the Sales Agreement and, when and to the extent (i) the applicable Confirmation has been duly executed and delivered, and (ii) such Confirmation Shares have been issued and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms of the applicable Confirmation against payment therefor (or net share settlement thereof) in accordance with such Confirmation, will be validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable. The issuance of the Shares and the Confirmation Shares is not subject to the preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company or any other person or entity. No holder of the Shares or the Confirmation Shares will be subject to personal liability by reason of being such a holder.

15.

The issued and outstanding capital shares of the Company are as stated in the Prospectus under the headings “Description of Common Shares” and “Description of Preferred Shares” as of the date set forth therein and in the General Disclosure Package under the heading “Description of Common Shares” as of the date hereof; and such shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable and to the best of our knowledge and information, are not subject to preemptive or other similar rights.

[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 number of Option Securities then being purchased which the number of Initial Securities set forth in Schedule A hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Initial Securities, subject, in each case, to such adjustments as [•] in its sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that the officers’ certificate, opinions and letter of counsel and accountants’ letter referred to in Section 3(o), (p) and (q), respectively, of the Sales Agreement are required to be delivered by or on behalf of the Company on the Settlement Date.]*

Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates for, the Initial Securities shall be made at the offices of [insert name and address of counsel to the Underwriter[s]], or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Underwriter[s] and the Company, at 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second (or third, if the pricing occurs after 4:30 P.M. (New York City time) on any given day) business day after the date hereof (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 9(c) of the Sales Agreement), or such other time not later than ten business days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Underwriter[s] and the Company (such time and date of payment and delivery being herein called “Settlement Date”).

Annex I-1

In addition, in the event that any or all of the Option Securities are purchased by the Underwriter[s], payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates for, such Option Securities shall be made at the above-mentioned offices, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Underwriter[s] and the Company, on each Date of Delivery as specified in the notice from the Underwriter[s] to the Company.

Payment shall be made to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company against delivery to the Underwriter[s for their respective accounts for the Securities to be purchased by them]. [It is understood that each Underwriter has authorized [•] as representative of the Underwriters, for its account, to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Initial Securities and the Option Securities, if any, which it has agreed to purchase. [•], individually and not as representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Initial Securities or the Option Securities, if any, to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds have not been received by the Settlement Date or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, but such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder.]

Each of the provisions of the Sales Agreement not related solely to (a) the Agent, as agent of the Company or (b) the Forward Sellers, the Forward Purchasers, the Confirmations, Confirmation Shares and related transactions, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be part of this Terms Agreement to the same extent as if each such provision had been set forth in full herein. Each of the representations and warranties set forth in the Sales Agreement shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Terms Agreement [and] [,] the Applicable Time [and any Date of Delivery].

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the Company a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement between the Underwriter[s], the Company and the Operating Partnership in accordance with its terms.

Re:		Registered Forward Transaction

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the transaction entered into between us on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This Confirmation constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “2002 Definitions”) and the 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “2006 Definitions” and, together with the 2002 Definitions, the “Definitions”), each as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.

Each party further agrees that this Confirmation, the pricing supplement substantially in the form of Annex B hereto (the “Pricing Supplement”) delivered hereunder and the Agreement (as defined below) together evidence a complete binding agreement between Party A and Party B as to the subject matter and terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications with respect thereto. This Confirmation, together with any other Confirmations for registered forward transactions entered into between Party A and Party B in connection with the Sales Agreement (as defined below) (each, an “Additional Confirmation”) shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if Party A and Party B had executed an agreement in such form on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency with the Agreement, this Confirmation, the Pricing Supplement, the 2006 Definitions and the 2002 Definitions, the following will prevail for purposes of the Transaction in the order of precedence indicated: (i) the Pricing Supplement, (ii) this Confirmation, (iii) the 2002 Definitions, (iv) the 2006 Definitions and (v) the Agreement. The parties hereby agree that no Transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates and the Transactions to which the Additional Confirmations, if any, relate (each, an “Additional Transaction”) shall be governed by the Agreement. For purposes of the 2002 Definitions, the Transaction is a Share Forward Transaction.

Each of Party A and Party B represents to the other that it has entered into the Transaction in reliance upon such tax, accounting, regulatory, legal, and financial advice as it deems necessary and not upon any view expressed by the other.

Whenever the Calculation Agent is required or permitted to act or to exercise judgment in any way with respect to the Transaction, including, without limitation, with respect to calculations, adjustments and determinations that are made in its sole discretion or otherwise, the Calculation Agent shall do so in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

Settlement Terms:

	Settlement Date:	Any Scheduled Trading Day following the Effective Date and up to and including the Maturity Date, as designated by (a) Party A pursuant to “Termination Settlement” below or (b) Party B in a written notice (a “Settlement Notice”) that satisfies the Settlement Notice Requirements and is delivered to Party A at least (i) two Scheduled Trading Days prior to such Settlement Date, which may be the Maturity Date, if Physical Settlement applies, and (ii) 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to such Settlement Date, which may be the Maturity Date, if Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies; provided that (i) the Maturity Date shall be a Settlement Date if on such date the Base Amount is greater than zero and (ii) if Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies and Party A shall have fully unwound its hedge during an Unwind Period by a date that is more than two Scheduled Trading Days prior to a Settlement Date specified above, Party A may, by written notice to Party B, specify any Scheduled Trading Day prior to such originally specified Settlement Date as the Settlement Date.



						Settlement Shares:		With respect to any Settlement Date, a number of Shares, not to exceed the Base Amount, designated as such by Party B in the related Settlement Notice or by Party A pursuant to “Termination Settlement” below; provided that on the Maturity Date the number of Settlement Shares shall be equal to the Base Amount on such date.

						Settlement:		Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement, at the election of Party B as set forth in a Settlement Notice delivered on or after the Effective Date (if applicable) that satisfies the Settlement Notice Requirements; provided that Physical Settlement shall apply (i) if no Settlement Method is validly selected, (ii) with respect to any Settlement Shares in respect of which Party A is unable, in its good faith and commercially reasonable judgment, to unwind its hedge by the end of the Unwind Period in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of Party A, based on the advice of counsel, is consistent with the requirements for qualifying for the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act (as if such requirements were applicable to purchases by Party A in connection with its unwind activity hereunder and under any Additional Transaction) or, in its commercially reasonable judgment, due to the occurrence of Disrupted Days or to the lack of sufficient liquidity in the Shares on any Exchange Business Day during the Unwind Period relative to the liquidity on the Effective Date, (iii) to any Termination Settlement Date (as defined below under “Termination Settlement”) or (iv) if the Maturity Date is a Settlement Date other than as the result of a valid Settlement Notice in respect of such Settlement Date.

						Settlement Notice Requirements:		Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, a Settlement Notice delivered by Party B that specifies Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement will not require Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement unless Party B delivers to Party A with such Settlement Notice a representation signed by Party B substantially in the form set forth in clause (a) under the heading “Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Party B”.


		Unwind Period:		The period from and including the first Exchange Business Day following the date Party B provides Settlement Notice for a valid election of Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement in respect of a Settlement Date through the second Scheduled Trading Day preceding such Settlement Date (or the immediately preceding Exchange Business Day if such Scheduled Trading Day is not an Exchange Business Day); subject to “Termination Settlement” below. If any Scheduled Trading Day during an Unwind Period is a Disrupted Day, the Calculation Agent shall make commercially reasonable adjustments to the terms of the Transaction (including, without limitation, the Cash Settlement Amount, the number of Net Share Settlement Shares and the 10b-18 VWAP) to account for the occurrence of such Disrupted Day.

		Market Disruption Event:		Section 6.3(a) of the 2002 Definitions is hereby amended by replacing the first sentence in its entirety with the following: “‘Market Disruption Event’ means in respect of a Share or an Index, the occurrence or existence of (i) a Trading Disruption, (ii) an Exchange Disruption, (iii) an Early Closure or (iv) a Regulatory Disruption, in each case, that the Calculation Agent determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, is material.”

		Early Closure:		Section 6.3(d) of the 2002 Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.

		Regulatory Disruption:		Any event that Party A, in its reasonable discretion, based on advice of counsel, determines makes it appropriate with regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (that generally apply to transactions of a nature and kind similar to the Transaction and have been adopted in good faith by Party A) for Party A to refrain from or decrease any market activity in connection with the Transaction. Subject to applicable legal requirements and Party A’s internal policies and guidelines, Party A shall promptly notify Party B upon the occurrence of a Regulatory Disruption and shall subsequently promptly notify Party B on the day Party A believes that the circumstances giving rise to such Regulatory Disruption have changed. Party A shall make its determination of a Regulatory Disruption in a manner consistent with the determinations made with respect to other issuers under similar facts and circumstances.


		Exchange Act:		The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time.

		Securities Act:		The Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time.

		Physical Settlement:		On any Settlement Date in respect of which Physical Settlement applies, Party B shall deliver to Party A through the Clearance System the Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date, and Party A shall deliver to Party B, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Party B, an amount in cash equal to the Physical Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date, on a delivery versus payment basis. If, on any Settlement Date, the Shares to be delivered by Party B to Party A hereunder are not so delivered (the “Deferred Shares”), and a Forward Price Reduction Date occurs during the period from, and including, such Settlement Date to, but excluding, the date such Shares are actually delivered to Party A, then the portion of the Physical Settlement Amount payable by Party A to Party B in respect of the Deferred Shares shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Forward Price Reduction Amount for such Forward Price Reduction Date, multiplied by the number of Deferred Shares.

		Physical Settlement Amount:		For any Settlement Date in respect of which Physical Settlement applies, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Forward Price on such Settlement Date and (ii) the number of Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date.

		Cash Settlement:		On any Settlement Date in respect of which Cash Settlement applies, if the Cash Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date is a positive number, Party A will pay such Cash Settlement Amount to Party B. If the Cash Settlement Amount is a negative number, Party B will pay the absolute value of such Cash Settlement Amount to Party A. Such amounts shall be paid on the Settlement Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds.


		Cash Settlement Amount:		For any Settlement Date in respect of which Cash Settlement applies, an amount determined by the Calculation Agent equal to the difference between (1) the product of (i) the difference between (A) the average Forward Price over the period beginning on, and including, the date that is one Settlement Cycle following the first day of the applicable Unwind Period and ending on, and including, such Settlement Date (calculated assuming no reduction to the Forward Price for any Forward Price Reduction Date that occurs during the Unwind Period), minus USD 0.__, and (B) the average of the 10b-18 VWAP prices per Share on each Exchange Business Day during such Unwind Period, and (ii) the number of Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date, and (2) the product of (i) the Forward Price Reduction Amount for any Forward Price Reduction Date that occurs during such Unwind Period, and (ii) the number of Settlement Shares with respect to which Party A has not unwound its hedge as of such Forward Price Reduction Date.

		Net Share Settlement:		On any Settlement Date in respect of which Net Share Settlement applies, if the number of Net Share Settlement Shares is a (i) negative number, Party A shall deliver a number of Shares to Party B equal to the absolute value of the Net Share Settlement Shares, or (ii) positive number, Party B shall deliver to Party A the Net Share Settlement Shares; provided that if Party A determines in its good faith judgment and in a commercially reasonable manner that it would be required to deliver Net Share Settlement Shares to Party B, Party A may elect to deliver a portion of such Net Share Settlement Shares on one or more dates prior to the applicable Settlement Date. If, on any Settlement Date, the Net Share Settlement Shares to be delivered by Party B to Party A hereunder are not so delivered (the “Deferred Net Shares”), and a Forward Price Reduction Date occurs during the period from, and including, such Settlement Date to, but excluding, the date such Net Share Settlement Shares are actually delivered to Party A, then the portion of the Net Share Settlement Shares payable by Party A to Party B in respect of the Deferred Net Shares shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Forward Price Reduction Amount for such Forward Price Reduction Date, multiplied by the number of Deferred Net Shares.


		Net Share Settlement Shares:		For any Settlement Date in respect of which Net Share Settlement applies, a number of Shares equal to (a) the number of Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date, minus (b) the quotient of (A) the Cash Settlement Amount that would have been payable if Cash Settlement were applicable to such Settlement Date and (B) the average of the 10b-18 VWAP prices per Share on each Exchange Business Day during such Unwind Period.

		10b-18 VWAP:		For any Exchange Business Day during the Unwind Period which is not a Disrupted Day, the volume-weighted average price reported on the Bloomberg Page “SKT <Equity> AQR SEC” (or any successor thereto) for such Exchange Business Day (without regard to preopen or after hours trading outside of such regular trading session for such Exchange Business Day) as reported at 4:15 p.m. New York time (or 15 minutes following the end of any extension of the regular trading session); provided, however, that if such price is unavailable for an Exchange Business Day or the Calculation Agent determines, in its good faith judgment and in a commercially reasonable manner, that such price does not correctly reflect the volume-weighted average price at which the Shares trade as reported in the composite transactions for the Exchange on such Exchange Business Day, excluding (i) trades that do not settle regular way, (ii) opening (regular way) reported trades on the Exchange on such Exchange Business Day, (iii) trades that occur in the last ten minutes before the scheduled close of trading on the Exchange on such Exchange Business Day and ten minutes before the scheduled close of the primary trading session in the market where the trade is effected, and (iv) trades on such Exchange Business Day that do not satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b-18(b)(3), the Calculation Agent shall, in a good faith, commercially reasonable manner, determine the 10b-18 VWAP for such Exchange Business Day based on the criteria specified above in this proviso.


		Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement Valuation Disruption:		If Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement is applicable with respect to the Transaction and any Exchange Business Day during the related Unwind Period is a Disrupted Day, then the Calculation Agent shall determine whether (i) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day in full, in which case the 10b-18 VWAP for such Disrupted Day shall not be included in the calculation of the Cash Settlement Amount, or (ii) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the 10b-18 VWAP for such Disrupted Day shall be determined by the Calculation Agent based on the conditions of Rule 10b-18 in the Shares on such Disrupted Day, taking into account the nature and duration of the relevant Market Disruption Event, and the weightings of the 10b-18 VWAP for each Exchange Business Day during such Unwind Period shall be adjusted by the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining the Cash Settlement Amount to account for the occurrence of such partially Disrupted Day, with such adjustments based on, among other factors, the duration of any Market Disruption Event and the volume, historical trading patterns and price of the Shares.

		Settlement Currency:		USD.

		Failure to Deliver:		Inapplicable.

		Adjustments:

		Method of Adjustment:		Calculation Agent Adjustment.

		Additional Adjustment:		If, in Party A’s commercially reasonable judgment, the stock loan fee incurred by Party A (or an affiliate thereof), excluding the federal funds or other interest rate component payable by the relevant stock lender to Party A or such affiliate (the “Stock Loan Fee”), over any one-month period, of borrowing a number of Shares equal to the Base Amount to hedge its exposure to the Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner exceeds a weighted average rate equal to [•]⁵ basis points per annum, the Calculation Agent shall reduce the Forward Price in order to compensate Party A for the amount by which the Stock Loan Fee exceeds a weighted average rate equal to [•]⁶ basis points per annum during such period. The Calculation Agent shall notify Party B prior to making any such adjustment to the Forward Price and, upon the request of Party B, Party A shall provide an itemized list of the Stock Loan Fees for the applicable one-month period.

⁵	Insert Initial Stock Loan Rate specified by Party B in instruction under the Sales Agreement.

Conditions to Effectiveness:

The Transaction shall be effective if and only if Shares are sold by the Forward Seller acting as forward seller for Party A on or after the Trade Date and on or before the Hedge Completion Date pursuant to the Sales Agreement. If the Sales Agreement is terminated prior to any such sale of Shares thereunder, the parties shall have no further obligations in connection with the Transaction, other than in respect of breaches of representations or covenants on or prior to such date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Sales Agreement is terminated prior to the Hedge Completion Date, this Confirmation shall remain in effect with respect to any Shares that had been sold by the Forward Seller acting as forward seller for Party A on or after the Trade Date and prior to such termination.

Interpretive Letter:

Party B agrees and acknowledges that the Transaction is being entered into in accordance with the October 9, 2003 interpretive letter from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission to Goldman, Sachs & Co. (the “Interpretive Letter”). Party B represents that it is eligible to conduct a primary offering of Shares on Form S-3 and that the offering contemplated by the Sales Agreement complies with Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Party B: Party B hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof to, and agrees with, Party A that:

(n)

Party B is not, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(o)

No federal, state or local (including non-U.S. jurisdictions) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Party A or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares, other than Sections 13 and 16 under the Exchange Act.

(p)

(s)

Ownership positions of Party B’s common stock held by Party A or any of its affiliates solely in its capacity as a nominee or fiduciary do not constitute “beneficial ownership” by Party A for the purposes of Article II of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Party B, as may be amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Articles”), including without limitation Section 6(b) thereof.

Certain Acknowledgments and Agreements of Party B: Party B hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

(iv)

any market activities of Party A and its Affiliates with respect to the Shares may affect the market price and volatility of the Shares, as well as the Forward Price and 10b-18 VWAP, each in a manner that may be adverse to Party B; and

Covenants of Party B:

Subject to the circumstances described under “Private Placement Procedures”, the parties acknowledge and agree that any Shares delivered by Party B to Party A on any Settlement Date will be newly issued Shares and when delivered by Party A (or an affiliate of Party A) to securities lenders from whom Party A (or an affiliate of Party A) borrowed Shares in connection with hedging its exposure to the Transaction will be freely saleable without further registration or other restrictions under the Securities Act, in the hands of those securities lenders, irrespective of whether such stock loan is effected by Party A or an affiliate of Party A. Accordingly, Party B agrees that the Shares that it delivers to Party A on each Settlement Date will not bear a restrictive legend and that such Shares will be deposited in, and the delivery thereof shall be effected through the facilities of, the Clearance System.

Covenants of Party A:

(a)

Unless the provisions set forth below under “Private Placement Procedures” shall be applicable, Party A shall use any Shares delivered by Party B to Party A on any Settlement Date to return to securities lenders to close out open Share loans created by Party A or an affiliate of Party A in the course of Party A’s or such affiliate’s hedging activities related to Party A’s exposure under this Confirmation.

(b)

In connection with bids and purchases of Shares in connection with any Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement of the Transaction, Party A shall use good faith efforts to conduct its activities, or cause its affiliates to conduct their activities, in a manner consistent with the requirements of the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, as if such provisions were applicable to such purchases aggregated with any analogous purchases occurring on the same day under any Additional Transaction.

Deadline for Designating an Early Termination Date and Payment Suspension:

If either party provides notice to the other party that there has occurred (1) an Event of Default as to which Party B is the Defaulting Party; (2) a Potential Event of Default with respect to Party B or (3) a Termination Event as to which Party B is the sole Affected Party, then, notwithstanding Section 9(f) of the Agreement and unless Party A and Party B otherwise agree in writing, after 30 calendar days have elapsed following such notice, (i) Party A shall have no further right to designate an Early Termination Date by reason of the aforementioned Event of Default or Termination Event and (ii) the aforementioned Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall be deemed to cease to be continuing for the purposes of Section 2(a)(iii)(1) of the Agreement. Party A hereby agrees to provide any notice referred to in the preceding sentence as promptly as practicable after it determines, acting in good faith, that the aforementioned Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event has occurred.

Insolvency Filing:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Agreement or the Definitions, upon any Insolvency Filing in respect of the Issuer, the Transaction shall automatically terminate on the date thereof without further liability of either party to this Confirmation to the other party (except for any liability in respect of any breach of representation or covenant by a party under this Confirmation prior to the date of such Insolvency Filing).

Extraordinary Dividends:

If an ex-dividend date for an Extraordinary Dividend occurs on or after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Maturity Date (or, if later, the last date on which Shares are delivered by Party B to Party A in settlement of the Transaction), Party B shall pay an amount in cash equal to the product of such Extraordinary Dividend and the Base Amount to Party A on the earlier of (i) the date on which such Extraordinary Dividend is paid by the Issuer to holders of record of the Shares or (ii) the Maturity Date. “Extraordinary Dividend” means the per Share amount of any cash dividend or distribution declared by the Issuer with respect to the Shares that is specified by the board of directors of the Issuer as an “extraordinary” dividend.

Acceleration Events: The following events shall each constitute an “Acceleration Event”:

(a)

Stock Borrow Events. In the commercially reasonable judgment of Party A (i) Party A (or its affiliate) is unable to hedge Party A’s exposure to the Transaction because of the lack of sufficient Shares being made available for Share borrowing by lenders, or (ii) Party A (or its affiliate) would incur a Stock Loan Fee to borrow a number of Shares equal to the Base Amount of more than a rate of [•]⁸ basis points per annum (each, a “Stock Borrow Event”);

(b)

Dividends and Other Distributions. On any day occurring after the Trade Date Party B declares a distribution, issue or dividend to existing holders of the Shares of (i) any cash dividend (other than an Extraordinary Dividend) to the extent all cash dividends having an ex-dividend date during the period from and including any Forward Price

⁸	Insert Maximum Stock Loan Rate specified by Party B in instruction under the Sales Agreement.

Reduction Date (with the Trade Date being a Forward Price Reduction Date for purposes of this clause (b) only) to but excluding the next subsequent Forward Price Reduction Date exceeds, on a per Share basis, the Forward Price Reduction Amount set forth opposite the first date of any such period on Schedule I, (ii) share capital or securities of another issuer acquired or owned (directly or indirectly) by Party B as a result of a spin-off or other similar transaction or (iii) any other type of securities (other than Shares), rights or warrants or other assets, for payment (cash or other consideration) at less than the prevailing market price as determined by Party A in a commercially reasonable manner;

(c)

ISDA Early Termination Date. Party A has the right to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement;

(d)

Other ISDA Events. The announcement by Issuer of any event that if consummated, would result in an Extraordinary Event or the occurrence of any Change in Law or a Delisting or the occurrence of any Hedging Disruption (with Party A as the Hedging Party); provided that in case of a Delisting, in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the 2002 Definitions, it will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market (or their respective successors); and provided further that the definition of “Change in Law” provided in Section 12.9(a)(ii) of the 2002 Definitions is hereby amended by (i) replacing the phrase “the interpretation” in the third line thereof with the phrase “, or public announcement of, the formal or informal interpretation” and (ii) replacing the parenthetical beginning after the word “regulation” in the second line thereof the words “(including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, (x) any tax law or (y) adoption, effectiveness or promulgation of new regulations authorized or mandated by existing statute)”; or

(e)

Ownership Event. In the reasonable judgment of Party A, on any day, the Share Amount for such day exceeds the Applicable Share Limit for such day (if any applies).

For purposes of clause (e) above, the “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Party A and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Party A (Party A or any such person, a “Party A Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Party B (including without limitation Article V of the Articles) that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Party A in good faith and in its reasonable discretion. The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) other than pursuant to the Exchange Act of a Party A Person, or could reasonably be expected to result in an adverse effect on a Party A Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Party A in good faith and in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

Termination Settlement:

Upon the occurrence of any Acceleration Event, Party A shall have the right to designate, upon at least two Scheduled Trading Days’ notice, any Scheduled Trading Day following such occurrence to be a Settlement Date hereunder (a “Termination Settlement Date”) to which Physical Settlement shall apply, and to select the number of Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date; provided that (i) in the case of an Acceleration Event arising out of an Ownership Event, the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Party A shall not exceed the number of Shares necessary to reduce the Share Amount to the Applicable Share Limit and (ii) in the case of an Acceleration Event arising out of a Stock Borrow Event the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Party A shall not exceed the number of Shares as to which such Stock Borrow Event exists. If, upon designation of a Termination Settlement Date by Party A pursuant to the preceding sentence, Party B fails to deliver the Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date when due or otherwise fails to perform obligations within its control in respect of the Transaction, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Party B and Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply. If an Acceleration Event occurs during an Unwind Period relating to a number of Settlement Shares to which Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies, then on the Termination Settlement Date relating to such Acceleration Event, notwithstanding any election to the contrary by Party B, Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement shall apply to the portion of the Settlement Shares relating to such Unwind Period as to which Party A has unwound its hedge and Physical Settlement shall apply in respect of (x) the remainder (if any) of such Settlement Shares and (y) the Settlement Shares designated by Party A in respect of such Termination Settlement Date. If an Acceleration Event occurs after Party B has designated a Settlement Date to which Physical Settlement applies but before the relevant Settlement Shares have been delivered to Party A, then Party A shall have the right to cancel such Settlement Date and designate a Termination Settlement Date in respect of such Shares pursuant to the first sentence hereof. If an event or circumstance is an Acceleration Event under both this Confirmation and any Additional Confirmation and the designation of a Termination Settlement Date under one such confirmation would cure the Acceleration Event under the other such confirmation, then Party A shall first designate a Termination Settlement Date under the confirmation with the first occurring Maturity Date before designating a Termination Settlement Date under the other confirmation.

Private Placement Procedures:

If Party B is unable to comply with the provisions of “Covenants of Party B” above because of a change in law or a change in the policy of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff, or Party A otherwise reasonably determines, based on advice of counsel, that any Settlement Shares to be delivered to Party A by Party B may not be freely returned by Party A or its affiliates to securities lenders as described under “Covenants of Party B” above, then delivery of any such Settlement Shares (the “Restricted Shares”) shall be effected pursuant to Annex A hereto, unless waived by Party A.

Rule 10b5-1:

It is the intent of Party A and Party B that following any election of Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement by Party B, the purchase of Shares by Party A during any Unwind Period comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act and that this Confirmation shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).

Party B acknowledges that (i) during any Unwind Period Party B shall not attempt to exercise any influence over how, when or whether to effect purchases of Shares by Party A (or its agent or affiliate) in connection with this Confirmation and (ii) Party B is entering into the Agreement and this Confirmation in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with federal securities laws including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Party B further agrees to act in good faith with respect to the Agreement and this Confirmation.

Party B hereby agrees with Party A that during any Unwind Period Party B shall not communicate, directly or indirectly, any Material Non-Public Information (as defined herein) to any Derivatives Personnel (as defined below). For purposes of the Transaction, “Material Non-Public Information” means information relating to Party B or the Shares that (a) has not been widely disseminated by wire service, in one or more newspapers of general circulation, by communication from Party B to its shareholders or in a press release, or contained in a public filing made by Party B with the Securities and Exchange Commission and (b) a reasonable investor might consider to be of importance in making an investment decision to buy, sell or hold Shares. For the avoidance of doubt and solely by way of illustration, information should be presumed “material” if it relates to such matters as dividend increases or decreases, earnings estimates, changes in previously released earnings estimates, significant expansion or curtailment of operations, a significant increase or decline of orders, significant merger or acquisition proposals or agreements, significant new products or discoveries, extraordinary borrowing, major litigation, liquidity problems, extraordinary management developments, purchase or sale of substantial assets, or other similar information For purposes of the Transaction, “Derivatives Personnel” means any employee on the trading side of Party A (or its affiliate) and any other person or persons designated from time to time by Party A.

Maximum Share Delivery:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, in no event will Party B be required to deliver on any Settlement Date, whether pursuant to Physical Settlement, Net Share Settlement, Termination Settlement or any Private Placement Settlement, more than a number of Shares equal to 1.5 times the Initial Base Amount, subject to reduction by the number of any Shares delivered by Party B on any prior Settlement Date and subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Confirmation and the 2002 Definitions.

Transfer and Assignment:

Party A may assign or transfer all, but not less than all, of its rights and duties hereunder to any affiliate of Party A; provided that, under the applicable law effective on the date of such transfer or assignment, Party B will not be required, as a result of such transfer or assignment, to pay to the transferee an amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax greater than the amount, if any, that Party B would have been required to pay Party A in the absence of such transfer or assignment; and Party B will not receive a payment from which an amount has been withheld or deducted, on account of a Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount, unless Party B would not have been entitled to receive any additional amount in respect of such payment in the absence of such transfer or assignment; provided further that (A) the affiliate’s obligations hereunder are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by [Party A] or (B) the affiliate’s long-term issuer rating is equal to or better than the credit rating of [Party A] at the time of such assignment

or transfer. Notwithstanding the above or any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Party A to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Party B, Party A may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Party A’s obligations in respect of the Transaction, and any such designee may assume such obligations. Party A shall be discharged of its obligations to Party B to the extent of any such performance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary (including anything in this Paragraph), at all times, Party A and its transferee or assignees shall be entitled to provide a US Tax Form W-9, W-8ECI or W-8IMY (certifying to its status as “qualified derivatives dealer” and hereby representing that it is not subject to US withholding tax with respect to adjustment or payments in respect of any dividends or distributions), with respect to any payments or deliveries under this Confirmation or the Agreement.

4.	The Agreement is further supplemented by the following provisions:

No Collateral or Setoff:

Notwithstanding Section 6(f) or any other provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Party B hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and no other obligations of the parties shall be set off against obligations under the Transaction, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of setoff. In calculating any amounts under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (a) separate amounts shall be calculated as set forth in such Section 6(e) with respect to (i) the Transaction and (ii) all other Transactions, and (b) such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement.

Status of Claims in Bankruptcy:

Party A acknowledges and agrees that this confirmation is not intended to convey to Party A rights with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby that are senior to the claims of common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Party B; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Party A’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Party B of its obligations and agreements with respect to this Confirmation and the Agreement; and provided further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Party A’s rights in respect of any transaction other than the Transaction.

Limit on Beneficial Ownership:

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Party A shall not have the “right to acquire” (within the meaning of NYSE Rule 312.04(g)) Shares hereunder and Party A shall not be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder (in each case, whether in connection with the purchase of Shares on any Settlement Date or any Termination Settlement Date, any Private Placement Settlement or otherwise) to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares hereunder, (i) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit, (ii) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 4.9% or (iii) Party A and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Party A under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder (the “Party A Group”) would directly or indirectly beneficially own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding Shares as of the Trade Date (the “Threshold Number of Shares”). Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, (i) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit, (ii) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 4.9% or (iii) Party A Group would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares. If any delivery owed to Party A hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Party B’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Party B shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Exchange Business Day after, Party A gives notice to Party B that, after such delivery, (i) the Share Amount would not exceed the Applicable Share Limit, (ii) the Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 4.9% and (iii) Party A Group would not directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares. The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Party A and any of its affiliates or any other person subject to aggregation with Party A for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, or any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) of which Party A is or may be deemed to be a part beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act), without duplication, on such day (or, to the extent that for any reason the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder results in a higher number, such higher number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any delivery owed to Party A hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the immediately preceding paragraph, Party A shall be permitted to make any payment due in respect of such Shares to Party B in two or more tranches that correspond in amount to the number of Shares delivered by Party B to Party A pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph.

Delivery of Cash:

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring Party B to deliver cash in respect of the settlement of the Transaction, except in circumstances where the required cash settlement thereof is permitted for classification of the contract as equity by ASC 815-40 (formerly EITF 00-19) as in effect on the Trade Date (including, without limitation, where Party B so elects to deliver cash or fails timely to elect to deliver Shares in respect of such settlement).

Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act:

In connection with Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (the “WSTAA”), the parties hereby agree that neither the enactment of the WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, nor any requirement under the WSTAA or an amendment made by the WSTAA, shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s otherwise applicable rights to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased costs, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the 2002 Definitions incorporated herein, or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, rights arising from any Acceleration Event or Illegality (as defined in the Agreement)).

ANNEX A

PRIVATE PLACEMENT PROCEDURES

(i)

If Party B delivers the Restricted Shares pursuant to this clause (i) (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Party B shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Party A; provided that if, on or before the date that a Private Placement Settlement would occur, Party B has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Party B to Party A (or any affiliate designated by Party A) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Party A (or any such affiliate of Party A) or Party B fails to deliver the Restricted Shares when due or otherwise fails to perform obligations within its control necessary to effect a Private Placement Settlement, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Party B and Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply. The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Party A, due diligence rights (for Party A or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Party A), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Party A. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Party A shall, in its good faith discretion, adjust the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered to Party A hereunder and/or the Forward Price in a commercially reasonable manner to reflect the fact that such Restricted Shares may not be freely returned to securities lenders by Party A and may only be saleable by Party A at a discount to reflect the lack of liquidity in Restricted Shares. Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Clearance System Business Day following notice by Party A to Party B of the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Settlement Date or Termination Settlement Date that would otherwise be applicable.

(ii)

If Party B delivers any Restricted Shares in respect of the Transaction, Party B agrees that (i) such Shares may be transferred by and among Party A and its affiliates and (ii) after the minimum “holding period” within the meaning of Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act has elapsed after the applicable Settlement Date, Party B shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for the Shares to remove, any legends referring to any transfer restrictions from such Shares upon delivery by Party A (or such affiliate of Party A) to Party B or such transfer agent of seller’s and broker’s representation letters customarily delivered by Party A or its affiliates in connection with resales of restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, each without any further requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Party A (or such affiliate of Party A).
