(rr) [Intentionally Omitted]

(ss) Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, (i) the Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act), (ii) such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company and the Subsidiaries in the reports they file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management of the Company and the Subsidiaries, including their respective principal executive officers and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure to be made; and (iii) such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in all material respects to perform the functions for which they were established.

(tt) The Company is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or implementing provisions thereof that are then in effect and with which the Company is required to comply as of the date hereof.

(uu) None of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is in default, and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of the principal of or interest on any material indebtedness of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries and no event or condition exists with respect to any indebtedness of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries that would permit (or that with notice, lapse of time or both, would permit) any person to cause such indebtedness to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.

(vv) Commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2013, the Company has been organized and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and its proposed method of operation will enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. All statements regarding the Company’s qualification and taxation as a REIT and descriptions of the Company’s organization and

proposed method of operation (inasmuch as they relate to the Company’s qualification and taxation as a REIT) set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus are true, complete and correct summaries of the legal or tax matters described therein in all materials respects.

(ww) Each of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries has timely filed all federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax returns and notices required to be filed by Applicable Law, except where the failure to file such tax returns could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and all such tax returns were in all material respects true, correct and complete. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, no audit, administrative proceedings or court proceedings are presently pending with regard to any material potential federal, state, local or foreign tax of any nature, and the Company has no knowledge of any tax deficiencies which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries has paid (within the time and in the manner prescribed by law) all federal, state and local taxes of any nature which are due (whether or not shown on any tax returns), in each case except for those not yet delinquent, those being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted for which the Company and/or each of the Subsidiaries has established on its books and records adequate reserves to pay all outstanding tax liabilities in accordance with GAAP and where the failure to pay such taxes could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries has requested any extension of time within which to file any material tax return, which return has not since been filed within the time period permitted by such extension, except for where the failure to file such return within the time period permitted by such extension could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The amounts currently set up as provisions for taxes or otherwise by the Company and the Subsidiaries on their books and records are reasonably expected to be sufficient for the payment of all their unpaid federal, state and local taxes accrued through the dates as of which they speak, and for which each of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries may be liable in their own right, or as a transferee of, or as successor to any other corporation, association, partnership, joint venture or other entity.

(xx) Each of the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder

(“ERISA”), except for noncompliance that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no “reportable event” (as defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to any “pension plan” (as defined in ERISA) for which either the Company, the General Partner or the Operating Partnership would have any material liability. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company, the General Partner nor the Operating Partnership has incurred or expects to incur material liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “pension plan.”

(yy) Except as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, the Company has not sold, issued or distributed any shares of Common Stock and the Operating Partnership has not sold, issued or distributed any OP Units during the six-month period preceding the date hereof, including any sales pursuant to Rule 144A under, or Regulation D or S of, the Securities Act, other than shares issued pursuant to employee benefit plans, qualified stock option plans or other employee compensation plans or pursuant to outstanding options, rights or warrants.

(zz) The Shares to be issued hereunder have been approved for listing, subject to official notice of issuance and evidence of satisfactory distribution, on NASDAQ. The Common Stock has been registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or the listing of the Common Stock (including the Shares) on NASDAQ, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission or NASDAQ is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.

(aaa) The Common Stock is an “actively-traded security” exempted from the requirements of Rule 101 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act by subsection (c)(1) of such rule.

(bbb) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries are a party to any contract, agreement or understanding with any person (other than as contemplated by this Agreement, the Alternative Sales Agreements, any Terms Agreements, any Alternative Terms Agreements or any Confirmations) that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Agent for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the offering and sale of any Shares.

2. Agreements to Sell and Purchase.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to issue and sell Shares through the Agent acting as sales agent or, if agreed to by the Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, directly to the Agent acting as principal from time to time, and the Agent agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares when acting as sales agent for the Company at such prices and in such amounts as the Company instructs such Agent to sell from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and, if applicable, such Terms Agreement. Sales of the Shares, if any, through the Agent acting as sales agent will be made (A) in “at the market” offerings (as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act) by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, including sales made on the NASDAQ, sales made to or through market makers or sales made through other securities exchanges or electronic communications networks and (B) in privately negotiated transactions, which may include block trades, as the Company and the Agent may agree.

(b) The Shares are to be sold on an agented basis, on any trading day (other than a day on which NASDAQ is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time) (each, a “Trading Day”) on which the Company has instructed the Agent to make such sales pursuant to the Instruction Notice, and the Company has satisfied or the Agent has waived the obligations specified in Sections 5 and 6(j) hereof. On any Trading Day, the Company may instruct the Agent by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by the Agent) as to the maximum number and maximum aggregate gross sales price of Shares to be sold by the Agent on such Trading Day and the minimum price per Share at which such Shares may be sold (an “Instruction Notice”). The Company and the Agent each agree that no such notice under this Section 2(b) shall be effective against the other party unless it is made by one of the individuals on Schedule II of such party to one of the individuals of the other party named on Schedule II, as such Schedule II may be amended from time to time by the Company and the Agent upon delivery to the other party of an amended Schedule II updating the individuals from such delivering party set forth on Schedule II.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions specified herein, the Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations, to sell as sales agent all of the Shares so designated by the Company in accordance with each Instruction Notice. The Company, the General Partner, the Operating Partnership and the Agent each acknowledge and agree that (1) there can be no assurance that the Agent will be successful in selling any Shares, (2) the Agent will incur no liability or obligation to the Company, the Operating Partnership, the General Partner or any other person or entity if it fails to sell Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations, to sell such Shares as required by this Agreement and (3) the Agent shall be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis, except as otherwise specifically agreed by the Agent, the General Partner, the Operating Partnership and the Company pursuant to a Terms Agreement. Only the Agent or one Alternative Agent will be instructed to sell Shares on

a given day (whether acting as sales agent, forward seller or principal). The Company shall not instruct the Agent to offer and sell Shares (whether acting as sales agent or principal) during any “Unwind Period” (as defined in and pursuant to any Confirmation). In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and those of a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement shall control.

(d) The Company or the Agent may, upon notice to the other party by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by the receiving party), suspend any sale of Shares hereunder for any reason and at any time; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold, or with respect to Shares that the Company has instructed the Agent to sell, hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. The Company and the Agent each agree that no such notice under this Section 2(d) shall be effective against the other party unless it is made by one of the individuals on Schedule II of such party to one of the individuals of the other party named on Schedule II, as such Schedule II may be amended from time to time by the Company and the Agent upon delivery to the other party of an amended Schedule II updating the individuals from such delivering party set forth on Schedule II.

(e) Under no circumstances shall the aggregate gross sales price or number, as the case may be, of Shares offered, issued or sold (including offers and sales of Forward Hedge Shares on behalf of a Forward Purchaser but excluding Confirmation Shares) pursuant to this Agreement, all Alternative Sales Agreements, all Terms Agreements, all Alternative Terms Agreements and all Confirmations, exceed the lower of (A) the Maximum Amount and (B) the aggregate gross sales price or number, as the case may be, of Shares (1) available for issuance under the Prospectus and the then currently effective Registration Statement, (2) authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement, all Alternative Sales Agreements, all Terms Agreements, all Alternative Terms Agreements and all Confirmations by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) or an authorized committee thereof or (3) approved for listing on NASDAQ, and, in each case referred to in this clause (B), notified to the Agent in writing. In addition, under no circumstances shall any Shares with respect to which the Agent acts as sales agent or principal be sold at a price lower than the minimum price therefor, if any, authorized from time to time by the Board or an authorized committee thereof and notified to the Agent in writing. The Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining records with respect to Shares available for sale under the Registration Statement or for determining the aggregate gross sales price, number or minimum price of Shares duly authorized by the Company. In addition, the Agent shall not sell any Shares in contravention of the instructions set forth in the applicable Instruction Notice.

(f) If the Company or the Agent believes that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are not satisfied with respect to the Company or the Shares, such party shall promptly notify the other party, and sales of Shares under this Agreement and any Terms Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective

obligations with respect to any Shares that an Agent has agreed to purchase prior to the giving of such notice pursuant to a Terms Agreement, with respect to any offering or resale of any Shares purchased or to be purchased by an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement entered into prior to the giving of such notice, or with respect to any Shares which an investor has agreed to purchase but which have not been delivered to, and paid for by, such investor as contemplated hereby prior to the giving of such notice.

(g)

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not offer or sell, or request the offer or sale of, any Shares through the Agent as sales agent, and, by notice to the Agent, given by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email), shall cancel any instructions for any such offer or sale of any Shares, and the Agent shall not be obligated to offer or sell any Shares, (A) during any period in which the Company is, in its reasonable opinion, in possession of material non-public information or (B) except as provided in Section 2(g)(ii) hereof, at any time during the period commencing on the 5th business day prior to the date (each, an “Announcement Date”) on which the Company shall issue a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or similar results of operations (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period or periods (each date of such a filing, a “Company Periodic Report Date”), as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement (each time that any such document is filed, a “Filing Time,” and each such period, an “Earnings Period”).

(ii) Subject to the limitations set forth herein and as otherwise may be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Agent, and notwithstanding clause (B) of Section 2(g)(i) hereof, if the Company wishes to offer or sell Shares through the Agent (as sales agent) at any time during an Earnings Period, the Company shall (i) prepare and deliver to the Agent (with a copy to counsel to the Agent), a Current Report on Form 8-K that shall include substantially the same financial and related information as was set forth in the relevant Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings projections, similar forward-looking data and officers’ quotations) (each, an “Earnings 8-K”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, (ii) provide the Agent with the officers’ certificates, opinions of counsel and accountants’ letters called for by Sections 6(m), (n) and (o), respectively, hereof, (iii) afford the Agent the opportunity to conduct a reasonable due diligence review in accordance with Section 6(r) hereof prior to filing such Earnings 8-K and (iv) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission, then the provisions of Section 2(g)(i)(B) hereof shall not apply for the period from and after the time that the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 2(g)(ii), as such conditions may be waived by the Agent, or modified by mutual agreement of the Company and the Agent, have

been satisfied (or, if later, the time that is 24 hours after the time that the relevant Earnings Announcement was first publicly released) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the corresponding Filing Time. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that (A) the delivery of any officers’ certificates, opinions of counsel and accountants’ letters pursuant to this Section 2(g)(ii) shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, including the obligation to deliver officers’ certificates, opinions of counsel and accountants’ letters as provided in Sections 6(m), (n) and (o), respectively, hereof and (B) this Section 2(g)(ii) shall in no way affect or limit the operation of clause (A) of Section 2(g)(i) hereof, which shall have independent application.

(h) Any obligation of the Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares (on behalf of the Company as sales agent) shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein, to the performance in all material respects by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the continuing satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 5 of this Agreement.

3. Terms of Public Offering.

(a) The gross sales price of any Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement by the Agent acting as sales agent shall be the market price prevailing at the time of sale for shares of the Company’s Common Stock or the price determined through a privately negotiated transaction. The compensation payable to the Agent, acting as sales agent on behalf of the Company, for sales of Shares shall be at a mutually agreed rate, not to exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price of the Shares sold by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing rate of compensation shall not apply when the Agent acts as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement, in which case the Company may sell Shares to the Agent as principal at a price set forth in such Terms Agreement. The remaining proceeds after deducting the Agent’s commission and after further deduction for any transaction fees, transfer taxes or similar taxes or fees imposed by any Governmental Authority in respect of such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company for such Shares (“Net Proceeds”). The Agent shall notify the Company as promptly as practicable if any deduction (other than the deduction of commission or discounts payable to the Agent) referenced in the preceding sentence will be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company engages the Agent as sales agent for a sale of Shares that would constitute a “distribution” within the meaning of Rule 100 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, the Company and the Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to agree to compensation that is customary for the Agent with respect to such transactions, which may exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price.

(b) The Agent shall provide written confirmation to the Company following the close of trading on NASDAQ on each Trading Day on which Shares are sold by the Agent. Such confirmation shall set forth (i) the number of Shares sold on such day, (ii)

the aggregate gross sales proceeds of such Shares, (iii) the aggregate Net Proceeds and (iv) and the aggregate compensation payable by the Company to the Agent with respect to such sales.

4. Payment and Delivery. Settlement for sales of the Shares through the Agent as sales agent for the Company or to an Agent acting as principal pursuant to Section 2 will occur on the second business day that is also a Trading Day following the trade date on which such sales are made, unless another date shall be agreed to by the Company and the Agent (each such day, a “Settlement Date”). On each Settlement Date, such Shares shall be delivered by the Company to the Agent in book-entry form to the Agent’s account at The Depository Trust Company against payment by the Agent of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Shares in immediately available funds by wire transfer delivered to an account designated by the Company. If the Company shall default on its obligation to deliver Shares to the Agent on any Settlement Date, the Company shall (i) indemnify and hold the Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company and (ii) pay the Agent any commission to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default. The applicable Net Proceeds on any Settlement Date shall always be delivered substantially simultaneously with the Shares delivered by the Company.

5. Conditions to the Agent’s Obligations. The obligations of (i) the Agent hereunder with respect to any Shares that the Company has instructed the Agent to sell as sales agent on behalf of the Company and (ii) the Agent hereunder and under any Terms Agreement with respect to any Shares that the Agent has agreed to purchase or has the option to purchase as principal pursuant to any Terms Agreement are subject to (A) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership contained herein (1) as of each Representation Date, (2) as of each Recommencement Date, (3) as of each Applicable Time, (4) as of each Settlement Date and (5) as of the date such instructions are given to the Agent or the date of such Terms Agreement, as the case may be, (B) the performance in all material respects by the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership of their covenants and other obligations hereunder and, if applicable, under such Terms Agreement, as the case may be, and (C) the following further conditions:

(a) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement:

(i) There shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible downgrading, in the rating accorded any of the securities of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act; and

disbursements of its counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Shares by it and any advertising expenses connected with any offers it may make.

(k) The Company shall promptly notify the Agent (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any new registration statement relating to the Shares shall become effective or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus shall have been filed (other than an amendment or supplement providing solely for the determination of the terms of an offering of securities unrelated to the Shares), (ii) after it receives notice thereof, of comments or any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, or for additional information and (iii) after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or any notice of objection to the use of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Securities Act or of the issuance of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any other prospectus in respect of the Shares (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or of the suspension of the qualification of any Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the institution or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act concerning the Registration Statement or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act. If the Commission should issue a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements

of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (A) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (B) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, including different defenses. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Agent, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), by the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder or under any Terms Agreement by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and of the Agent, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, in connection with the applicable offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as (A) (1) the Net Proceeds (before deducting expenses) for the Shares sold to or through the Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreement received by the Company, the General Partner or the Operating Partnership and (2) the total commissions received by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement and, in the case of any

Shares purchased by the Agent as principal, discounts received by the Agent under this Agreement and any applicable Terms Agreement bear to (B) the aggregate gross sales price of the Shares sold to or through the Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any such Terms Agreements. The relative fault of the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership or by the Agent and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) The Company, the General Partner, the Operating Partnership and the Agent agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, the Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total gross sale price at which the Shares placed or underwritten by it for sale to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that the Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership contained in this Agreement or any Terms Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement or any Terms Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent, any person controlling the Agent or any affiliate of the Agent or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors, the General Partner, the Operating Partnership or any person controlling the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

9. Amendment; Severability. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not be amended or modified unless in writing by all of the parties hereto, and no condition herein (express or implied) may be waived unless waived in writing by each party whom the condition is meant to benefit. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable as written by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision shall be given full force and effect to the fullest possible extent that it is valid, legal and enforceable, and the remainder of the terms and provisions herein shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision

was not contained herein, but only to the extent that giving effect to such provision and the remainder of the terms and provisions hereof shall be in accordance with the intent of the parties as reflected in this Agreement.

10. Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated for any reason, at any time, by either the Company or the Agent, upon prior written notice to the other party hereto. Any termination shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Agent or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of the Shares, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 hereof.

(b) The Agent may terminate a Terms Agreement to which it is a party at any time at or prior to the applicable Settlement Date if (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in the Agent’s judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares subject to such Terms Agreement on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

(c) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until such time as Shares having an aggregate gross sales price equal to the Maximum Amount shall have been sold, in the aggregate, under this Agreement, any Alternative Sales Agreement, any Terms Agreement, any Alternative Terms Agreement, and any Confirmation, at which time this Agreement shall automatically terminate, unless this Agreement is terminated prior thereto pursuant to this Section 10 or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties. The Company shall promptly notify the Agent of any automatic termination pursuant to this Section 10(c).

(d) In the event of any termination under this Section 10, neither party will have any liability to the other party hereto, except that (i) the Agent shall be entitled to any commissions earned in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, (ii) if at the time of termination (A) the Agent shall own any Shares purchased by it as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement or (B) the Company has instructed the Agent to offer and sell any Shares but the Settlement Date with respect to such Shares has not occurred, the covenants set forth in Section 6 hereof shall remain in effect until such Shares are resold or so delivered, as the case may be, and (iii) the covenant set forth in Section 6(h) hereof, the provisions of Section 6(j), 8, 13, 15 and 17 hereof and this Section 10 shall remain in effect.

11. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

12. Research Analyst Independence. Each of the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership acknowledges that the research analysts and research departments of the Agent are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that the Agent’s research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. Each of the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership acknowledges that the Agent is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Terms Agreement.

13. Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement, together with any Terms Agreement, represents the entire agreement between the Company, the General Partner, the Operating Partnership and the Agent with respect to the preparation of the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering and the sale of the Shares.

(b) Each of the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Agent has acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership or any other person, (ii) the Agent owes the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership only those duties and obligations that are expressly set forth as owed to such person in this Agreement and any Terms Agreement and (iii) the Agent may have interests that differ from those of the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership. Each of the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Agent arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares.

14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

15. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of New York, or of any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York to be applied.

16. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

17. Trial by Jury. Each of the Company (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its stockholders and affiliates), the General Partner (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its sole trustee and affiliates) and the Operating Partnership (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its limited partners and affiliates) and the Agent hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any Terms Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

MATTERS TO BE COVERED BY OPINION AND 10B-5 LETTER OF OUTSIDE COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY(2)

1. Based solely on certificates from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, each of CyrusOne TRS Inc. and Warhol TRS LLC is a corporation or a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with all necessary corporate or limited liability company power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

2. No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to, consent of, order of, or filing with, any United States Federal, New York State or, to the extent required under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, Delaware governmental authority is required to be made or obtained by the Company, the General Partner or the Operating Partnership for the execution and delivery of the Sales Agreements, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Sales Agreements and the performance by the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership of their respective obligations under the Sales Agreements, other than (i) those that have been obtained or made, (ii) those that may be required under the Securities Act in connection with the use of a “free writing prospectus,” (iii) those that may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Shares by the Agents or (iv) those as to which the failure to be obtained or made would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3. The execution and delivery of the Sales Agreements, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Sales Agreements and the performance by the Company, the General Partner and the Operating Partnership of their respective obligations under the Sales Agreements, (i) will not result in a breach of or constitute a default under the express terms and conditions of any Specified Agreement and (ii) will not violate any law, rule or regulation of the United States of America, the State of New York or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware applicable to the Company, the General Partner or the Operating Partnership, except, in the case of clause (ii), such violations that, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Our opinion in clause (i) of the preceding sentence relating to the Specified Agreements does not extend to compliance with any financial ratio or limitation in any contractual restriction expressed as a dollar amount (or an amount expressed in another currency).

4. Based solely on the certificate dated the date hereof, from an officer of the Company, attached as Exhibit A hereto, the Company is not required to register as an

“investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

5. The Registration Statement initially became effective under the Securities Act on May 4, 2016, and, assuming prior payment by the Company of the pay-as-you-go registration fee for the offering of Shares, upon filing of the Prospectus with the Commission the offering of the Shares as contemplated by the Prospectus became registered under the Securities Act; to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Securities Act.

6. The Shares have been duly authorized for listing, subject to official notice of issuance, on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

In addition to furnishing the opinions set forth above, such counsel shall also deliver a letter stating that, subject to certain limitations and qualifications and on the basis of information gained in the course of the performance of the services rendered, that each of the Registration Statement, at the time it was last amended or deemed to be amended, and the Prospectus, as of the date of such letter, appeared or appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, except that such counsel does not express any view as to the financial statements and other information of an accounting or financial nature included therein. Furthermore, such counsel shall also advise you that such counsel’s work in connection with this matter did not disclose any information that gave such counsel reason to believe that: (i) the Registration Statement (insofar as relevant to the offering contemplated by the Prospectus), at [·](3), 2018 (the “Applicable Date”), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) the Prospectus, as of its date or as of the date of such letter, included or includes, an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits 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, except that, in each case, such counsel does not express any view as to the financial statements and other information of an accounting or financial nature included therein.

MATTERS TO BE ADDRESSED IN TAX OPINION OF SPECIAL TAX COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY

1. Commencing with its taxable year ended on December 31, 2013, CyrusOne has been organized and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Code, and its proposed method of operation will enable it to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code.

Although the discussion set forth in the Prospectus under the heading “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” as supplemented by the discussion set forth in the Prospectus under the heading “Supplement to U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” does not purport to discuss all possible U.S. Federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of shares of Common Stock, such discussion, though general in nature, constitutes, in all material respects, a fair and accurate summary under current law of the material U.S. Federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of shares of Common Stock, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. The U.S. Federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of shares of Common Stock by a holder will depend upon that holder’s particular situation, and we express no opinion as to the completeness of the discussion set forth in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Supplement to U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” as applied to any particular holder.

TERMS AGREEMENT

	[·], 20[·]

[NAME OF AGENT]
[ADDRESS OF AGENT]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

CyrusOne Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), proposes, on the basis of the representations and warranties, and subject to the terms and conditions, stated herein and in that certain Sales Agreement, dated November 19, 2018 (“Sales Agreement”), between the Company, CyrusOne GP, a Maryland statutory trust (the “General Partner”), which is a subsidiary of the Company and the sole general partner of CyrusOne LP, a Maryland limited partnership and subsidiary of the Company (the “Operating Partnership”), and the Operating Partnership and [·] (the “Agent”), to issue and sell to the Agent as principal for resale the shares of its Common Stock specified in Schedule I hereto (“Purchased Shares”). The Company also proposes to issue and sell to the Agent the additional shares of Common Stock specified in the Schedule I hereto (“Additional Shares”), if and to the extent that the Agent shall have determined to exercise its right to purchase such Additional Shares.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Sales Agreement which are incorporated herein by reference, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Agent and the latter agrees to purchase from the Company the number of the Purchased Shares on the Settlement Date, at the time and place and at the purchase price (“Purchase Price”) set forth in the Schedule I hereto.

In addition, the Company agrees to sell to the Agent the Additional Shares, and the Agent shall have the right to purchase up to [·] Additional Shares at the Purchase Price, provided, however, that the amount paid by the Agent for any Additional Shares shall be reduced by an amount per Share equal to any dividends declared by the Company and payable on the Purchased Shares but not payable on such Additional Shares. The Agent may exercise this right in whole or from time to time in part by giving written notice not later than 30 days after the date of this Agreement. Any exercise notice shall specify the number of Additional Shares to be purchased by the Agent and the date on which such Additional Shares are to be purchased (such date and time being herein referred to as the “Option Settlement Date”). Each Option Settlement Date must be at least one business day after the written notice is given and may not be earlier than the Settlement Date for the Purchased Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto, nor later than ten business days after the date of such notice.

Payment of the Purchase Price for any Additional Shares shall be made to the Company in federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of

such Additional Shares for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Option Settlement Date or at such other time on the same or on such other date, in any event not later than the tenth business day thereafter, as shall be designated in writing by you. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing, any Option Settlement Date shall be a Settlement Date requiring compliance with the provisions of Sections 6(m), (n) and (o) of the Sales Agreement.

The Purchased Shares and any Additional Shares shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Agent shall request in writing not later than one full business day prior to the Settlement Date or the applicable Option Settlement Date, as the case may be. The Purchased Shares and any Additional Shares shall be delivered to the Agent on the Settlement Date or an Option Settlement Date, as the case may be, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Shares to the Agent duly paid, against payment of the Purchase Price therefor.

Each of the provisions of the Sales Agreement not specifically related to the solicitation by the Agent, as sales agent of the Company, of offers to purchase Shares is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be part of this Terms Agreement to the same extent as if such provision had been set forth in full herein, mutatis mutandis. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Sales Agreement. Each reference to the Prospectus (including any covenants or representations and warranties relating thereto) shall be deemed to refer to the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to relate to the Purchased Shares and the Additional Shares, and each of the representations and warranties set forth in the Sales Agreement shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Terms Agreement, the Settlement Date and any Option Settlement Date.

THIS TERMS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTING PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO BE APPLIED.
