(“Barclays”), BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA Securities”) and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Securities, LLC (“▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Securities”) are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”), with respect to the sale (the “Forward Sale”) by ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Barclays, BofA Securities and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Securities (as such sellers, each, a “Forward Seller” and, collectively, the “Forward Sellers”), acting severally and not jointly, of the respective numbers of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) to be sold by them as set forth opposite their respective names under the column “Number of Forward Underwritten Shares to be Sold” appearing in the second table in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Forward Underwritten Shares”) and the purchase by the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of the respective numbers of Forward Underwritten Shares to be purchased by each of them from the Forward Sellers as set forth opposite the names of the respective Underwriters appearing in the first table in Schedule A hereto. The Forward Underwritten Shares and any Company Top-Up Underwritten Shares (as defined in Section 13 hereof) are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Underwritten Shares.”

In connection with the Forward Sale, each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMorgan Chase”), Barclays Bank PLC (“BBPLC”), Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”) and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association (“▇▇▇▇▇”), in its capacity as a forward purchaser party to a Forward Sale Agreement (as defined herein) (as such, a “Forward Purchaser” and collectively, the “Forward Purchasers”), has entered into a letter agreement dated February 18, 2020 (each, a “Forward Sale Agreement” and, collectively, the “Forward Sale Agreements”) with the Company, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to initially sell, and each Forward Purchaser has agreed to initially purchase, the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Forward Purchaser’s name under the heading “Initial Number of Confirmation Shares to be Purchased” in Schedule A hereto, subject to the terms and conditions of the Forward Sale Agreements, including the Company’s right to elect Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement (each as defined in the Forward Sale Agreements).

In addition, the Forward Sellers have granted to the Underwriters an option to purchase, all or any part of an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Forward Optional Shares”) if and to the extent that you, as Representatives, shall have determined to exercise, on behalf of the Underwriters, the right to purchase all or any part of such Forward Optional Shares pursuant to Section 3 hereof. The Forward Optional Shares and any Company Top-Up Optional Shares (as defined in Section 13 hereof) are herein referred to collectively as the “Optional Shares.”

The Company Top-Up Underwritten Shares and the Company Top-Up Optional Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company Shares.” The Forward Underwritten Shares and the Forward Optional Shares are herein referred to collectively as the “Forward Shares.” The Underwritten Shares and the Optional Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Shares.” The shares of Common Stock that the Company is or may be required to deliver in settlement of the Company’s obligations under the Forward Sale Agreements are hereinafter sometimes called the “Confirmation Shares.” This Agreement and the Forward Sale Agreements are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Transaction Documents.”

If any entity that is acting as a Forward Seller is also acting as a Forward Purchaser, then references to such Forward Seller’s affiliated Forward Purchaser (and similar references) shall mean such entity acting in its capacity as Forward Purchaser.

To the extent there are no additional Underwriters listed on Schedule A other than you, the terms Representatives and Underwriters, respectively, mutatis mutandis, as used herein shall mean you, as Underwriters and Representatives. The terms Representatives and Underwriters shall mean either the singular or the plural as the context requires.

References in this Agreement to “subsidiaries” of the Company shall include, without limitation, the Operating Partnership (as defined below).

The Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), hereby confirm their respective agreements with the several Underwriters and Forward Sellers as follows:

SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Operating Partnership.

The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to, and covenant with, each Underwriter, each Forward Seller and each Forward Purchaser as follows:

(a) The Company and the Operating Partnership have prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-233822 and 333-233822-01), and a related base prospectus dated September 18, 2019 (the “Base Prospectus”), to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of the Shares. Such registration statement, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, at each time of effectiveness under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), including any information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), is called the “Registration Statement.” Any preliminary prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus that describes the Shares and the offering thereof and is used prior to filing of the Prospectus (as defined below), including, but not limited to, the preliminary prospectus supplement contained in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus (as defined below), is called, together with the Base Prospectus, a “preliminary prospectus.” The term “Prospectus” shall mean the final prospectus supplement dated February 18, 2020 relating to the Shares (the “Prospectus Supplement”), together with the Base Prospectus, that are first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) after the time that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto (the “Execution Time”). The term “Pre-Pricing Prospectus” shall mean the preliminary prospectus supplement dated February 18, 2020 relating to the Shares (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), together with the Base Prospectus, filed pursuant to Rule 424(b). Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus (including, but not limited to, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus), the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act; any reference to any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus (including, but not limited to, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus) or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after the date of such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, or, in the case of the Registration Statement, after the date of this Agreement, under the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in such preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or the Registration Statement, as the case may be, and shall also be deemed to refer to and include any annual report of the Company or the Operating Partnership filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the effective date of the Registration Statement that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. As used herein, the term “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act (“Rule 433”) relating to the offering of the Shares that (i) is required to be filed with the Commission by the Company, (ii) is a road show that is a written communication within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i), whether or not required to be filed with the Commission or (iii) is exempt from filing pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) because it contains a description of the Shares or of the offering that does not reflect the final terms, in each case in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form required to be retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g).

(b) Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act and there are no outstanding requests of the Commission for additional or supplemental information. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect, the Commission has not issued any order or notice preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or the Operating Partnership, are contemplated or threatened by the Commission.

Each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus when filed complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules thereunder. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at each time of effectiveness (including, without limitation, each “new effective date” with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the Securities Act) and at the date hereof, complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as of its date, at the date hereof, at the time of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b), at the Closing Date (as defined herein) and at any Subsequent Closing Date (as defined herein), did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The representations and warranties set forth in the two immediately preceding sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership in writing by any Underwriter, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser through the Representatives consists of the information described as such in Section 9(b) hereof. There is no contract or other document required to be described in the Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement that has not been described or filed as required.

(c) Documents Incorporated by Reference. The documents incorporated by reference in each of the Disclosure Package (as defined below) and the Prospectus, when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Any documents to be filed and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement to any documents previously filed and incorporated by reference, when such documents become effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. None of such documents did or will, as the case may be, as of its respective filing or effective date, as the case may be, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d) Disclosure Package. The term “Disclosure Package” shall mean (i) the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, (ii) the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, identified in Schedule C hereto, (iii) any other free writing prospectus that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package and (iv) the information included on Schedule D hereto including, but not limited to, information regarding the number of Shares being sold and the price at which the Shares will be sold to the public. As of 6:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on February 18, 2020 (the “Applicable Time”), neither (x) the Disclosure Package nor (y) any individual Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not part of the Disclosure Package, when considered together with the Disclosure Package, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not part of the Disclosure Package made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership in writing by any Underwriter, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser through the Representatives consists of the information described as such in Section 9(b) hereof.

(e) Company is Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (iii) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the Securities Act) made any offer relating to the Shares in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the Securities Act, and (iv) at the Execution Time of this Agreement (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (iv)), the Company was and is a “well known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and the Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Securities Act objecting to use of the automatic shelf registration statement form.

(f) [Intentionally omitted.]

(g) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date, did not and, unless superseded by a subsequent Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of the date of this Agreement, does not include any information that conflicted or conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement. If at any time following the date of this Agreement, there occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives and will promptly amend or supplement, at its

own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict. The first two sentences of this paragraph do not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter through the Representatives consists of the information described as such in Section 9(b) hereof.

(h) Accuracy of Statements in Prospectus. The statements in:

(i) the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Capital Stock,” “Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of the Company’s Charter and Bylaws,” “Description of Material Provisions of the Partnership Agreement of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Realty, L.P.,” and “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)”,

(ii) the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations, and

(iii) the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 under the captions (a) “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure – Our common limited partners have limited approval rights, which may prevent us from completing a change of control transaction that may be in the best interests of all our security holders,” (b) “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure – In certain circumstances, our limited partners must approve our dissolution and the disposition of properties contributed by the limited partners,” (c) ”Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure – There are restrictions on the ownership of the Company’s capital stock that limit the opportunities for a change of control at a premium to existing security holders” and (d) “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure – The Company’s charter contains provisions that may delay, deter or prevent a change of control transaction,”

insofar as such statements summarize the Forward Sale Agreements or other agreements or documents, or summarize legal matters or proceedings discussed therein, are accurate and fair summaries of the Forward Sale Agreements and such agreements, documents, legal matters and proceedings in all material respects.

(i) Distribution of Offering Material By the Company. The Company has not distributed and will not distribute, prior to the later of the last Subsequent Closing Date (as defined below) and the completion of the Underwriters’ distribution of the Shares, any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares other than the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus reviewed and consented to by the Representatives or identified in Schedule C hereto or the Registration Statement.

(j) The Underwriting Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Operating Partnership.

(k) Forward Sale Agreements. Each Forward Sale Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the applicable Forward Purchaser, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability

The issuance, sale and delivery by the Company of Confirmation Shares to any Forward Purchaser in settlement of all or a portion of the Company’s obligations under the applicable Forward Sale Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof and delivery by such Forward Purchaser of such Confirmation Shares, during the term of and at any settlement of such Forward Sale Agreement, to close out open borrowings of Common Stock created in the course of hedging activities by such Forward Purchaser or any of its affiliates relating to such Forward Purchaser’s exposure under such Forward Sale Agreement, do not and will not require registration under the Securities Act.

Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Disclosure Package: (i) there has been no material adverse change, or any development that could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business, properties or operations, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one entity (any such change is called a “Material Adverse Change”); (ii) the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one entity, have not incurred any material liability or obligation, indirect, direct or contingent, nor entered into any material transaction or agreement (other than debt incurred in the ordinary course of business); and (iii) except for regular quarterly dividends on the Common Stock in amounts consistent with past practice, there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company or, except for dividends paid to the Company or other subsidiaries, any of its subsidiaries on any class of capital stock or repurchase or redemption by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any class of capital stock.

No other financial statements or supporting schedules are required to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus.

(r) [Intentionally omitted.]

(s) Incorporation and Good Standing of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has power and authority as a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, to own or lease, as the case may be, and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and, in the case of the Company and the Operating Partnership, to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or on the earnings, business, properties or operations, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one entity (a “Material Adverse Effect”). All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each subsidiary of the Company that is a corporation, all of the issued and outstanding limited and general partnership interests of each subsidiary of the Company that is a limited partnership and all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests (or other similar interests) of each subsidiary of the Company that is a limited liability company have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and (except for general partnership and limited liability company membership interests) nonassessable and, to the extent such shares or interests are owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, such shares and interests are owned free and clear of any Lien (as defined herein). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company is, and, as of the Closing Date and at any Subsequent Closing Date, the Company will be, the sole general partner (the “General Partner”) of the Operating Partnership, and as of the date of this Agreement, the Company does, and, as of the Closing Date and at any Subsequent Closing Date, the Company will own at least a majority of the common units of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership (the “Common Units”).

(t) Capitalization and Other Capital Stock Matters. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company as of December 31, 2019 was as set forth in the line items appearing under the caption “Stockholders’ Equity” in the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 appearing in the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and, since December 31, 2019, the Company has not issued, repurchased or cancelled any capital stock (other than subsequent issuances or share repurchases or cancellations, if any, (i) described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (ii) pursuant to any underwritten public offerings, at-the-market offering programs, or any employee benefit plans or dividend reinvestment plans described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (iii) upon exercise of outstanding options issued pursuant to employee benefit plans described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or (iv) upon the redemption of Common Units pursuant to the Seventh Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership and any amendments or supplements thereto whether before or after the date of this Agreement (as so amended and supplemented, if applicable, the “Partnership Agreement”)). The Common Stock (including the Shares, the Forward Shares and the Confirmation Shares), the authorized Preferred Stock (as defined below) and any class or series of outstanding Preferred Stock conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and have been issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws. None of the outstanding shares of Common Stock were issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. The Company has duly reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exchange of the common units of partnership interest of the Operating Partnership. If any preferred units of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership are outstanding, the Company has duly reserved a sufficient number of shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), for issuance upon exchange of such preferred units of partnership interest. All of the Company’s outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, if any, have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and have been issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws. None of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, if any, was issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. There are no authorized or outstanding options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than such as may have been issued under employee benefit plans that are accurately described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or otherwise as accurately described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The description of the Company’s stock option, stock bonus and other stock plans or arrangements, and the options or other rights granted thereunder, incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus accurately and fairly presents the terms and conditions of such plans, arrangements, options and rights in all material respects.

(u) [Intentionally omitted.]

(v) Non-Contravention of Existing Instruments; No Further Authorizations or Approvals Required. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is (i) in violation or in default (or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, would be in default) (“Default”) under its charter or bylaws, limited partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or similar organizational documents, as the case may be, (ii) in Default under any indenture, mortgage, loan or credit agreement, deed of trust, note, contract, franchise, lease or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which the Company or any such subsidiary is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject (each, an “Existing Instrument”) or (iii) in violation of any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any such subsidiary or any of its properties, as applicable, except with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) only, for such Defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, by the Disclosure Package and by the Prospectus (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and partnership action and will not result in any Default under the charter or bylaws or other organizational documents (including, without limitation, the Partnership Agreement) of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, (ii) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or Default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property or assets of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their respective subsidiaries pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to, any Existing Instrument, and (iii) will not result in any violation of any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree applicable to the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their respective subsidiaries of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their respective subsidiaries or any of its or their properties, except with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) only, for such conflicts, breaches, Defaults, Liens, consents or violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect or adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency is required for the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except such as have been obtained or made by the Company or the Operating Partnership and are in full force and effect under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and such as may be required under applicable state securities or blue sky laws and from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

SECTION 3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Shares.

(a) The Forward Shares.

(i) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, each Forward Seller (with respect to the number of Forward Underwritten Shares to be sold by such Forward Seller as set forth opposite its name under the caption “Number of Forward Underwritten Shares to be Sold” in the second table on Schedule A hereto) and the Company (with respect to any Company Top-Up Underwritten Shares), severally and not jointly, agree to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from each Forward Seller (with respect to the Forward Underwritten Shares set forth opposite the name of such Forward Seller under the caption “Number of Forward Underwritten Shares to be Sold” in the second table on Schedule A hereto) and the Company (with respect to any Company Top-Up Underwritten Shares) the respective number of Underwritten Shares set forth in Schedule A hereto set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule A hereto at a purchase price of $82.56 per share (the “Purchase Price”). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Forward Sellers to sell Forward Shares under this Agreement are several and not joint. Each Forward Seller’s obligations extend solely to the number of Forward Underwritten Shares and the maximum number of Forward Optional Shares set forth opposite its name in the second table on Schedule A hereto.

(ii) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, each Forward Seller (with respect to any Forward Optional Shares to be sold by such Forward Seller) and the Company (with respect to any Company Top-Up Optional Shares), severally and

not jointly, hereby grants an option to the several Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to the number of Forward Optional Shares set forth opposite the name of such Forward Seller under the caption “Maximum Number of Forward Optional Shares to be Sold” in the second table on Schedule A hereto at the Purchase Price less an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared, paid or payable by the Company on the Underwritten Shares but not payable on any Optional Shares (the “Option Purchase Price”). The option granted hereunder may be exercised in whole or in part at any time from time to time and one or more times upon written notice by the Representatives to the Forward Sellers and the Company (an “exercise notice”), which notice may be given at any time within 30 days after the date of this Agreement and which shall set forth (i) the aggregate number of Optional Shares as to which the Underwriters are exercising the option, and (ii) the time, date and place at which and to whom such Optional Shares will be delivered, which shall not be earlier than two nor later than five full business days after delivery of such exercise notice, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, the Representatives, and the Forwards Sellers (each such time and date of delivery of Optional Shares, a “Subsequent Closing Date,” and which time and date may be simultaneous with, but not earlier than, the Closing Date; and in the case of any such simultaneous closing of Underwritten Shares and Optional Shares, the term “Closing Date” shall also refer to the time and date of delivery of the Underwritten Shares and such Optional Shares). On each Subsequent Closing Date, if any, (A) each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, to purchase, at the Option Purchase Price, the number of Optional Shares that bears the same proportion to the aggregate number of Optional Shares being purchased on such Subsequent Closing Date as the number of Underwritten Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule A hereto bears to the aggregate number of Underwritten Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representatives may determine), and (B) each Forward Seller (with respect to any Forward Optional Shares) and the Company (with respect to any Company Top-Up Optional Shares), severally and not jointly, agrees, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein set forth, to sell, at the Option Purchase Price, (i) in the case of such Forward Seller, the number of Optional Shares that bears the same proportion to the aggregate number of Optional Shares being purchased by the Underwriters on such Subsequent Closing Date as the number of Optional Shares set forth opposite the name of such Forward Seller under the caption “Maximum Number of Forward Optional Shares to be Sold” in the second table on Schedule A hereto bears to the aggregate maximum number of Optional Shares that may be sold by the Forward Sellers as reflected in such table and (ii) in the case of the Company, the applicable number of Company Top-Up Optional Shares, if any (in each case subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representatives may determine).

(b) The Closing Date. Payment of the Purchase Price for, and delivery of, the Underwritten Shares shall be made at the offices of Sidley Austin LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (or such other place as may be agreed to by the Company and the Representatives) at 9:00 a.m. New York time, on February 21, 2020, or such other time and date not later than 1:30 p.m. New York time, on February 28, 2020, as the Representatives shall designate by notice to the Company (the time and date of such closing is called the “Closing Date”).

(c) Conditions to Borrow. If with respect to the Forward Shares (i) any of the conditions to effectiveness of a Forward Sale Agreement set forth therein have not been satisfied at the Closing Date or the applicable Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be; (ii) the Company and the Operating Partnership have not performed all of their respective obligations required to be performed by them under this Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be; or (iii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof have not been satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be (clauses (i) through (iii), together, the “Conditions”), each Forward Seller, in its sole discretion, may elect not to borrow and deliver for sale to the Underwriters the Forward Shares otherwise deliverable on such date by such Forward Seller hereunder. In addition, in the event that a Forward Purchaser determines in good faith, after using commercially reasonable efforts, that (A) it or its affiliate, as Forward Seller, is unable to borrow and deliver, on the Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, for sale under this Agreement a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Forward Shares otherwise deliverable on such date by such Forward Seller hereunder or (B) such Forward Seller would incur a stock loan cost of more than a rate equal to 200 basis points per annum to do so, then, in each case, such Forward Seller shall only be required to deliver for sale to the Underwriters on such date the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Forward Seller is able to so borrow at or below such cost. If a Forward Seller elects pursuant to this paragraph not to borrow and deliver for sale to the Underwriters at the Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date any or all of the Forward Shares otherwise deliverable on such date by it hereunder, then such Forward Seller shall notify the Company and the Operating Partnership no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date or such Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be.

(d) Public Offering of the Shares. The Representatives hereby advise the Company and each Forward Seller that the Underwriters propose to offer for sale to the public, as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, their respective portions of the Shares as soon after the Transaction Documents have been executed as the Representatives, in their sole judgment, have determined is advisable and practicable.

(e) Payment for the Shares. Payment for the Shares to be purchased and sold on the Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date shall be made to the applicable Forward Seller (with respect to the applicable Forward Shares) and, if applicable, to the Company (with respect to any Company Shares) by wire transfer of Federal (same day) funds to the account specified by the applicable Forward Seller or the Company, as applicable, to the Representatives at least forty-eight hours in advance against delivery to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the Underwriters of certificates (or book-entry credits) for the Shares to be purchased by them on such date. Certificates (or book-entry credits) for the Shares shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Representatives may request upon at least forty-eight hours prior notice to the Company and the Forward Sellers. It is understood that each Underwriter has authorized the Representatives, for their own and such Underwriter’s account, to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Shares which such Underwriter has agreed to purchase on such Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date. Barclays Capital

Inc., individually and not as a Representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment for any Shares to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds shall not have been received by the Representatives by the Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, for the account of such Underwriter, but any such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(f) Delivery of the Shares. Delivery of the Shares shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct. Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a further condition to the obligations of the Underwriters.

(g) Delivery of Prospectus to the Underwriters. Not later than 10:00 a.m. on the second business day following the date Shares are first released by the Underwriters for sale to the public, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered, copies of the Prospectus in such quantities and at such places as the Representatives shall request.

During the period beginning at the Applicable Time and ending on the later of the Closing Date or such date as, in the opinion of the Underwriters, the Prospectus is no longer required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), prior to amending or supplementing the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (including any amendment or supplement through incorporation by reference of any report or amendments to any report filed under the Exchange Act), the Company shall furnish to the Representatives for review a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement, and the Company shall not file or use any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Representatives reasonably object.

(b) Securities Act Compliance. After the date of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly advise the Representatives in writing (i) when the Registration Statement, if not effective at the Execution Time, shall have become effective, (ii) of the receipt of any comments of, or requests for additional or supplemental information from, the Commission, (iii) of the time and date of any filing of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, (iv) of the time and date that any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective and (v) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any order or notice preventing, suspending or terminating the use of the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, or of any proceedings to remove, suspend or terminate from listing or quotation the Common Stock from any securities exchange upon which it is listed for trading or included or designated for quotation, or of the threatening or initiation of any proceedings for any of such purposes. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or notice of prevention or suspension of such use. If the Commission shall enter any such stop order or issue any such notice at any

time, the Company will use its best efforts to obtain the lifting or reversal of such order or notice at the earliest possible moment, or, subject to Section 4(a), will file an amendment to the Registration Statement or will file a new registration statement and use its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable. Additionally, the Company agrees that it shall comply with the provisions of Rules 424(b) and 430B, as applicable, under the Securities Act, including with respect to the timely filing of documents thereunder, and will use its reasonable efforts to confirm that any filings made by the Company under such Rule 424(b) were received in a timely manner by the Commission.

(e) Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents that it has not made, and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representatives, it will not make, any offer relating to the Shares that constitutes or would constitute an issuer free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 433(h) of the Securities Act) or that otherwise constitutes or would constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) or a portion thereof required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 of the Securities Act; provided that the prior written consent of the Representatives hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, identified in Schedule C hereto.

The Company will advise the Representatives promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Shares for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.

The Company and the Operating Partnership hereby acknowledge that the only information the Underwriters, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers have furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership for the uses set forth in the preceding sentence are the statements set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 9(b). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company and the Operating Partnership may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the Company, the Operating Partnership, and its General Partner. Each Underwriter and each Forward Seller, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership, the general partner of the Operating Partnership (the “General Partner”), each of the Company’s directors, each of the Company’s officers who signed the Registration Statement on behalf of the Company or the General Partner and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company, the Operating Partnership, the General Partner, any such director or officer or any such controlling person may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or arises out of or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership by such Underwriter or such Forward Seller (or such Forward Seller’s affiliated Forward Purchaser)

through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, the Operating Partnership, the General Partner, any such director or officer or any such controlling person for any and all documented and reasonably incurred expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Company) as such expenses are incurred by the Company, the Operating Partnership, the General Partner, any such director or officer or any such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. The Company and the Operating Partnership hereby acknowledge that the only information that the Underwriters, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers have furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth (a) in the first full paragraph under the subcaption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Commissions and Discounts” in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus concerning the public offering price and concession, (b) under the subcaption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Price Stabilization and Short Positions” in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, but only insofar as concerns the Representatives and the Underwriters, regarding stabilization, overallotments and short positions, and (c) under the subcaption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Electronic Distribution” in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, but only insofar as concerns the Representatives and the Underwriters. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party under this Agreement other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not

be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel), reasonably approved by the Company and the Operating Partnership, in the case of Section 9(a), or by the Representatives, in the case of Section 9(b), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 9 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be withheld unreasonably, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have provided the indemnifying party with the proposed terms of settlement and shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 9(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (y) 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 10. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 9 is for any reason unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (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 Underwriters, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties herein which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities 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 Underwriters, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as (x) in the case of the Company and the Operating Partnership, the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company (which total net proceeds shall include the total proceeds that would be received by the Company pursuant to the Forward Sale Agreements assuming full Physical Settlement (as such term is defined in the Forward Sale Agreements) of the Forward Sale Agreements at the Initial Forward Price (as such term is defined in the Forward Sale Agreements)), (y) in the case of the Underwriters, the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters from the offering of the Shares as set forth on the front cover page of the Prospectus and (z) in the case of the Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers, the aggregate Spread (as defined in the Forward Sale Agreements) retained by the Forward Purchasers under the Forward Sale Agreements, net of any costs associated therewith, as reasonably determined by the Forward Purchasers, bear to an amount equal to the sum of the amounts set forth in (x), (y) and (z) above. The relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers, 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, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, Forward Sellers or Forward Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.

The Company, the Operating Partnership, the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purposes) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 10.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Shares exceeds the aggregate amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the untrue statements or omissions or alleged untrue statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, and (ii) no Forward Seller shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the aggregate Spread (as defined in the applicable Forward Sale Agreement) retained by its affiliated Forward Purchaser under the applicable Forward Sale Agreement, net of any costs associated therewith, as reasonably determined by such Forward Seller, exceeds the aggregate amount of any damages that such Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser have otherwise been required to pay by reason of the untrue statements or omissions or alleged untrue statements or omissions which resulted in

such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Company and the Operating Partnership to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are joint and several. The obligations of the Underwriters to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. The obligations of the Forward Sellers to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective selling commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 10, each affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser, as the case may be, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, the General Partner and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be.

SECTION 11. Default of One or More of the Several Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date or a Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the number of Underwritten Shares set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate number of Underwritten Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date or a Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Shares are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party, except that the provisions of Section 5, Section 9 and Section 10 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or a Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 11. Any action taken under this Section 11 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

SECTION 12. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the payment for, and delivery to the Underwriters of, the Shares on the Closing Date this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to the Company if at any time (i) trading or quotation in any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the Exchange; (ii) trading in securities generally on the Exchange shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such stock exchanges by the Commission or FINRA; (iii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by federal or New York authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States has occurred; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Representatives is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares in the manner and on the terms described in the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities. Except as provided in Section 7 hereof, any termination pursuant to this Section 12 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company or the Operating Partnership to any Underwriter or (b) any Underwriter to the Company or the Operating Partnership.

SECTION 13. Issuance and Sale by the Company.

(a) In the event that (i) a Forward Seller elects not to borrow Shares pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3(c) hereof, or (ii) a Forward Purchaser determines in good faith, after using commercially reasonable efforts, that (A) it or its affiliate, as Forward Seller, is unable to borrow and deliver, on the Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, for sale under this Agreement a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Forward Shares otherwise deliverable on such date by such Forward Seller hereunder or (B) such Forward Seller would incur a stock loan cost of more than a rate equal to 200 basis points per annum to do so, then, in each case, upon notice by such Forward Seller to the Company and the Operating Partnership (which notice shall be delivered no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date or such Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be), the Company shall issue and sell to the Underwriters, pursuant to Section 3 hereof, on the Closing Date or such Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Forward Shares otherwise deliverable on such date by the applicable Forward Seller hereunder that such Forward Seller is not required to so deliver and sell to the Underwriters. In connection with any such issuance and sale by the Company, the Company or the Representatives shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, for one business day in order to effect any required changes in any documents or arrangements. Any shares of Common Stock sold by the Company to the Underwriters pursuant to this Section 13(a) in lieu of any Forward Underwritten Shares are referred to herein as the “Company Top-Up Underwritten Shares,” and (ii) any shares of Common Stock sold by the Company to the Underwriters pursuant to this Section 13(a) in lieu of Forward Optional Shares are referred to herein as the “Company Top-Up Optional Shares.”

(b) A Forward Seller shall not have any liability whatsoever for any Forward Shares that the Forward Seller does not deliver and sell to the Underwriters or any other party if (i) all of the relevant Conditions are not satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, and such Forward Seller validly elects pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3(c) hereof not to deliver and sell to the Underwriters the Forward Shares otherwise deliverable on such date by such Forward Seller hereunder, or (ii) the relevant Forward Purchaser determines in good faith, after using commercially reasonable efforts, that (A) it or its affiliate, as Forward Seller, is unable to borrow and deliver, on the Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, for sale under this Agreement a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Forward Shares otherwise deliverable on such date by such Forward Seller hereunder or (B) such Forward Seller would incur a stock loan cost of more than a rate equal to 200 basis points per annum to do so (it being understood that the foregoing exclusion of liability shall not apply in the case of fraud and/or any intentional misconduct).

SECTION 14. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. The Company and the Operating Partnership acknowledge and agree, jointly and severally, that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the issuance, sale and delivery of Confirmation Shares pursuant to the Forward Sale Agreements, including the determination of the public offering price of the Shares and any related discounts and commissions and the price to be paid for any Confirmation Shares, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers, on the other hand, and the Company and the Operating Partnership are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter, Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary of the Company, the Operating Partnership or their respective affiliates, stockholders, creditors, limited or general partners, or employees or any other party; (iii) no Underwriter, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Operating Partnership with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Operating Partnership on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company or the Operating Partnership with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Underwriters, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Operating Partnership and that the several Underwriters, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the several Underwriters, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company and the Operating Partnership have consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Operating Partnership and the several Underwriters, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Company and the Operating Partnership hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company and the Operating Partnership may have against the several Underwriters, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

SECTION 15. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, of its officers, of the Operating Partnership, of its officers and of the General Partner and of the several Underwriters, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement (i) will remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any (A) investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, Forward Seller, or Forward Purchaser, or the officers or employees of any Underwriter, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser, or any person controlling any Underwriter, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser, the Company, the officers or employees of the Company, or any person controlling the Company, the Operating Partnership, the officers or employees of the Operating Partnership, any person controlling the Operating Partnership or the General Partner, as the case may be or (B) acceptance of the Shares and payment for them hereunder and (ii) will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 16. Notices. All communications hereunder or under the lock-up agreements referred to in Section 6(h) hereof shall be in writing and shall be mailed, hand delivered or telecopied and confirmed to the parties hereto or to the persons who signed such lock-up agreements, as the case may be, as follows:

In the event that any Underwriter or Forward Seller that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

2. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, to act as general partner of the Operating Partnership, to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents on its own behalf and, in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership, on behalf of the Operating Partnership, to perform its obligations and, in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership, those of the Operating Partnership under the Transaction Documents, to issue Company Shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and Confirmation Shares pursuant to the Forward Sale Agreements and to consummate, on its own behalf and, in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership, on behalf of the Operating Partnership, the transactions described in the Transaction Documents.

4. The Company Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and sale pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, when Company Shares are issued and delivered in exchange for payment of the consideration therefor, as provided in and in accordance with, the Underwriting Agreement, such Company Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the issuance and sale of such Company Shares to the Underwriters are not and will not be subject to any pre-emptive or similar rights arising by operation of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) or under the Charter or Bylaws of the Company.

A-1

7. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company on its own behalf and, in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership (in the case of the Underwriting Agreement), on behalf of the Operating Partnership have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action required under the Charter and Bylaws of the Company and the MGCL, each Transaction Document has been duly executed and delivered by the Company on its own behalf and, in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership (in the case of the Underwriting Agreement), on behalf of the Operating Partnership.

8. The execution, delivery and performance of, compliance with the terms of, and consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Transaction Documents by the Company on its own behalf and in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership (in the case of the Underwriting Agreement), on behalf of the Operating Partnership, and the issuance and sale of Company Shares by the Company as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the issuance, sale and delivery of Confirmation Shares by the Company as contemplated by the Forward Sale Agreements, do not and will not (a) contravene any provision of the MGCL, (b) conflict with, or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under (or constitute an event which with notice, lapse of time, or both would constitute a breach of or default under) any provisions of the Charter or Bylaws of the Company or (c) to our knowledge, result in any violation of any order, rule, regulation or decree of any court or governmental agency or authority of the State of Maryland issued under or pursuant to the MGCL and applicable to the properties, assets or business owned or proposed to be owned by the Company or the Operating Partnership.

A-2

12. No consent, approval, authorization, order of or qualification with any court or governmental agency or authority of the State of Maryland (other than as may be required under Maryland securities, blue sky or real estate syndication laws, as to which no opinion is expressed) is required to be obtained by the Company under the MGCL in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company on its own behalf or, in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership (in the case of the Underwriting Agreement), on behalf of the Operating Partnership, the offering, issuance or sale of Company Shares under the Underwriting Agreement or the issuance, sale and delivery of the Confirmation Shares pursuant to the Forward Sale Agreements, except for such as have been obtained or waived.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel shall state that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, in rendering its opinions pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, may rely upon such opinion of special Maryland counsel as if it were addressed to them as to all matters arising under or governed by the laws of the State of Maryland. In addition, in rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely, insofar as such opinion involves factual matters, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials. In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, in rendering the Tax Opinions (as defined in Exhibit B to the Underwriting Agreement), assumes the accuracy of the conclusions reached in a separate opinion (the “Separate Opinion”) of such special Maryland counsel, such Separate Opinion of special Maryland counsel shall also be addressed to the Representatives and the Underwriters or shall contain a statement to the effect the Representatives and the Underwriters may rely upon such opinion as if it were addressed to them and shall also comply with the other applicable requirements set forth in the last paragraph of Exhibit B to the Underwriting Agreement. Such opinion shall state that all references to the “Charter” of the Company include, without limitation, all articles supplementary with respect to any class or series of preferred stock.

Such opinions may assume that upon issuance of any Confirmation Shares deliverable to any Forward Purchasers pursuant to the applicable Forward Sale Agreements, the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding, after giving effect to such issuance of such Confirmation Shares to the such Forward Purchasers pursuant to such Forward Sale Agreements, will not exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue under its Charter at such time.

EXHIBIT B

Form of Opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP

1. Each of the Operating Partnership and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Realty Finance Partnership (the “Finance Partnership”) is a limited partnership organized under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “DRULPA”), with limited partnership power and authority to own and lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and, with respect to the Operating Partnership, to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and perform its obligations thereunder. With your consent based solely on certificates from public officials, we confirm that each of the Operating Partnership and the Finance Partnership is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, is in good standing under the laws of the State of California and is qualified to do business in the State of California.

2. With your consent based solely on certificates from public officials, we confirm that the Company is in good standing under the laws of the State of California and is qualified to do business in the State of California.

3. Assuming the due authorization of the Underwriting Agreement by the Company by all necessary corporate action required under the charter and bylaws of the Company and the Maryland General Corporation Law to act in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary limited partnership action of the Operating Partnership and has been duly executed and delivered by the Operating Partnership.

4. Assuming the due authorization of each Forward Sale Agreement by the Company by all necessary corporate action required under the charter and bylaws of the Company and the Maryland General Corporation Law, each Forward Sale Agreement is the legally valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

5. The Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto have become effective under the Securities Act. With your consent, based solely on our review of the list of stop orders contained on the Commission’s website at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇ on the date hereof, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings therefor have been initiated by the Commission. The Pre-Pricing Prospectus has been filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8) under the Securities Act) and the Prospectus has been filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)) and Rule 430B under the Securities Act.

6. The Registration Statement, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, including the information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, and the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, 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 Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the

B-1

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.

7. Each document filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (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 and Form 8-K, registration statements on Form 8-A or proxy statements under Regulation 14A, as the case may be, under the Exchange 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 Incorporated Documents. For purposes of this paragraph, we have assumed that the statements made in the Incorporated Documents are correct and complete.

8. With your consent, based solely on a certificate of an officer of the Company as to factual matters, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership is, and immediately after giving effect to the sale of Top-Up Shares by the Company in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement and the sale and delivery of the Confirmation Shares in accordance with the Forward Sale Agreements, and the application of the proceeds therefrom as described in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Use of Proceeds” neither will be, required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

9. The statements in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Material Provisions of the Partnership Agreement of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Realty, L.P.” and “Plan Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” insofar as they purport to describe or summarize certain provisions of the Forward Sale Agreements, the other documents or the DRULPA referred to therein, are accurate descriptions or summaries in all material respects.

10. The execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement by the Company and the Operating Partnership and the Forward Sale Agreements by the Company, the issuance and sale of the Company Shares by the Company to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, and the issuance and delivery of the Confirmation Shares to the Forward Purchasers pursuant to the Forward Sale Agreements, do not on the date hereof:

(i) violate the Partnership Agreement;

(ii) violate the DRULPA, or any federal, New York or California statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the Operating Partnership; or

(iii) result in the breach of, or a default under, any indentures, notes, loan or credit agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements or other written agreements or instruments creating, evidencing or securing indebtedness of the Company or the Operating Partnership for borrowed money, or any other agreements identified to us by an officer of the Company or the Operating Partnership, in each case, as material to the Company or the Operating Partnership and listed in Exhibit A to this opinion (the “Specified Agreements”); or

B-2

(iv) require any consents, approvals, 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 the DRULPA or any New York, California or federal statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the Operating Partnership that have not been obtained or made.

In rendering such opinions, such counsel may limit its opinions to the DRULPA, the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the States of California and New York and matters specifically governed thereby. In rendering such opinions, such counsel may also rely, as to matters of fact (but not as to legal conclusions), to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and the Operating Partnership and public officials. A separate letter dated the same date as such opinion to the following effect shall also be delivered:

The primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial or quantitative information. Therefore, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in, or incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the information set forth on Schedule D to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Pricing Information Annex”), or the Prospectus (or the Incorporated Documents) (except to the extent expressly set forth in the numbered paragraph 8 in our letter to you of even date (regarding the content of paragraph 8 above) and in the numbered paragraph 2 in our letter to you of even date with respect to certain tax matters (regarding the content of the second bullet below of the Tax Opinions)), and have not made an independent check or verification thereof (except as aforesaid). However, in the course of acting as special counsel to the Company and the Operating Partnership in connection with the preparation by the Company and the Operating Partnership of the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Information Annex, and the Prospectus, we reviewed the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Information Annex, the Prospectus and the Incorporated Documents, and participated in conferences and telephone conversations with officers and other representatives of the Company, counsel for the Company, the independent public accountants for the Company and the Operating Partnership, your representatives and your counsel, during which conferences and conversations the contents of the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Information Annex, and the Prospectus (and portions of the Incorporated Documents) and related matters were discussed. We also reviewed and relied upon certain corporate and partnership records and documents, letters from counsel and accountants, and oral and written statements of officers and other representatives of the Company and Operating Partnership and others as to the existence and consequence of certain factual and other matters.

B-3

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 February 18, 2020, including the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act (together with the Incorporated Documents at that time), 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;

•

the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, as of 6:30 p.m. New York City Time on February 18, 2020 (together with the Incorporated Documents at that time), when taken together with the Pricing Information Annex, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or

•

the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement or as of the date hereof (together with the Incorporated Documents as of those respective dates), contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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;

it being understood that we express no belief with respect to the financial statements, schedules or other financial data included or incorporated by reference in, or omitted from, the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Information Annex, the Prospectus or the Incorporated Documents.

In addition, a separate letter to the following effect shall be delivered (collectively, the “Tax Opinions”):

•

Commencing with the Company’s taxable year ending December 31, 1997, the Company has been organized and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and its proposed method of operation will enable the Company to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code; and

•

The statements in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar such statements purport to constitute summaries of United States federal income tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects.

The Tax Opinions may be subject to such assumptions, limitations and qualifications as shall be satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters. In particular, the Tax Opinions may be conditioned upon certain representations made by the Company as to factual matters through a certificate of an officer of the Company (the “Officer’s Certificate”). In rendering the Tax Opinions, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP may assume the accuracy of an opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, special Maryland counsel to the Company, with respect to the enforceability of the stock

ownership limits set forth in the Company’s charter, so long as such opinion of special Maryland counsel (i) is dated the same date as such opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, (ii) is addressed to the Representatives and the Underwriters or contains a statement to the effect that the Representatives and the Underwriters may rely upon such opinion as if it were addressed to them and (iii) is otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters, and a copy of such opinion of special Maryland counsel is delivered to the Representatives together with such opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP. In addition, the Tax Opinions may be based upon the factual representations of the Company concerning its business and properties as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus. The Tax Opinions may state that they relate only to the federal income tax laws of the United States and such counsel need not express any opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of other federal laws, the laws of any state or other jurisdiction or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any other local agencies within any state. The Tax Opinions may state that they are based on various statutory provisions, regulations promulgated thereunder and interpretations thereof by the Internal Revenue Service and the courts having jurisdiction over such matters, all of which are subject to change either prospectively or retroactively, that any such change may affect the conclusions stated therein, and that any variation or difference in the facts from those set forth in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or the Officer’s Certificate may affect the conclusions stated therein. Moreover, the Tax Opinions may state that the Company’s qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon the Company’s ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, including through actual annual operating results, asset composition, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership, the results of which have not been and will not be reviewed by such counsel, and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of the Company’s operation for any particular taxable year will satisfy such requirements. In addition, the Tax Opinions may state that the opinion set forth therein does not foreclose the possibility that the Company may have to pay a deficiency dividend, or an excise or penalty tax, which could be significant in amount, in order to maintain its REIT qualification. Such opinion shall state that references therein to “subsidiaries” of the Company shall include, without limitation, the Operating Partnership.
