Ladies and Gentlemen:

1. Introductory. Camden Property Trust, a Texas real estate investment trust (the “Company”), Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., as sales agent and/or principal (in such capacity, the “Manager”) and/or forward seller (in such capacity, the “Forward Seller”), and The Bank of Nova Scotia (in such capacity, the “Forward Purchaser”) confirm their respective agreements in each case on the terms set forth in this Distribution Agency Agreement (the “Agreement”). For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that, if Forward Hedge Shares (as defined below) are sold through the Forward Seller, then the Forward Seller shall be acting as sales agent for the Forward Purchaser with respect to the offering and sale of such Forward Hedge Shares, and, except in cases where this Agreement expressly refers to the Manager acting as sales agent for the Company or unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to the Manager acting as sales agent shall also be deemed to apply to the Manager when acting as forward seller, mutatis mutandis.

The Manager and the Company each agrees that whenever the Company determines to sell common shares of beneficial interest of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), directly to the Manager, as principal, it will enter into a separate agreement (a “Terms Agreement”) substantially in the form of Schedule A hereto.

The Company may also enter into one or more forward share purchase transactions (each, a “Forward”) with the Forward Purchaser as set forth in separate forward sale confirmations, each substantially in the form of Schedule H hereto (each, a “Confirmation” and collectively, the “Confirmations”). Subject to the terms of the conditions herein and therein, under each Confirmation, the Company will deliver to the Forward Purchaser, or an affiliate thereof (including the Manager), up to the number of Common Shares as may be sold in accordance with this Agreement in connection with such Confirmation. In connection therewith, it is contemplated that, at the Company’s direction, the Forward Purchaser will offer and sell through the Forward Seller on the terms set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement Forward Hedge Shares to be borrowed by the Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate).

The Company has also entered into separate distribution agency agreements, each dated as of even date herewith (the “Alternative Distribution Agreements”), with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Truist Securities, Inc. and Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC (the “Alternative Managers”) and their respective forward purchasers (the “Alternative Forward Purchasers”). The Company may also enter into one or more forward share purchase transactions with any of the Alternative Forward Purchasers as set forth in separate forward sale confirmations, each

substantially in the form of Schedule H hereto (each, an “Alternative Confirmation” and collectively, the “Alternative Confirmations”). Any Common Shares to be delivered by the Company to the Forward Purchaser or any Alternative Forward Purchaser in settlement of all or any portion of the Company’s obligations under any Confirmation or any Alternative Confirmation are hereinafter sometimes called “Confirmation Shares.”

The Company proposes to (i) issue, offer and sell Common Shares from time to time to or through the Manager, acting as sales agent on behalf of the Company and/or acting as principal (any such Common Shares, “Primary Shares”), and (ii) instruct the Forward Seller to offer and sell Common Shares borrowed by the Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) (any such Common Shares, “Forward Hedge Shares,” and together with the Primary Shares, the “Shares”), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, any Confirmation and any Terms Agreement, as applicable. The aggregate offering price of Common Shares that may be sold pursuant to this Agreement and the Alternative Distribution Agreements (including Forward Hedge Shares and Common Shares borrowed by an Alternative Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) pursuant to the Alternative Distribution Agreements, but not including any Confirmation Shares) shall not exceed $500,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Maximum Amount”).

3. Sale and Delivery of the Shares. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company and the Manager agree that the Company may from time to time seek to sell Primary Shares through the Manager, as sales agent, or directly to the Manager, as principal, or to instruct the Forward Seller to sell Forward Hedge Shares as follows:

(a) The Company may submit to the Manager and, if applicable, the Forward Purchaser its instruction to sell Shares on any trading day on the NYSE (a “Trading Day”) through placement instructions substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule D. If such placement instruction relates to Primary Shares, it will specify any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters and conditions. If such placement instruction relates to Forward Hedge Shares, it will specify the last Trading Day on which the Forward Seller may complete the sale of Forward Hedge Shares in a commercially reasonable manner in connection with the relevant Confirmation to establish a commercially reasonable hedge position (the “Forward Hedge Completion Date Deadline”), the maximum number or aggregate gross sales price of Forward Hedge Shares to be sold, the minimum price per share at which Forward Hedge Shares may be sold, the commission the Forward Seller is to receive for selling such Forward Hedge Shares, the Trade Date, the Spread, the initial Stock Loan Fee, the maximum Stock Loan Fee, the Maturity Date, the Forward Price Reduction Dates, the corresponding Forward Price Reduction Amounts (as each such term is defined in the

relevant Confirmation) and any other desired terms for the relevant Confirmation. Instructions will be submitted by the Company and received by the Manager and, if applicable, the Forward Purchaser, initially by an authorized officer or person listed in Schedule E, or any substitute or additional officer or person as designated by the Company and notified in writing to the Manager and, if applicable, the Forward Purchaser. The Company shall have the right to amend at any time and from time to time any such prior instruction provided that the Manager and, if applicable, the Forward Purchaser are given reasonable notice of such amendment. If such placement instruction relates to Forward Hedge Shares, the Forward Seller and/or the Forward Purchaser shall promptly, and in any event prior to the opening of trading on the Trading Day following the Trading Day on which such placement instruction was delivered, choose to (A) accept the terms proposed in such placement instruction, (B) decline to participate in the proposed Forward or (C) propose amended terms upon which to participate in the proposed Forward; provided, however, that in the case of clause (C), the Company may accept or reject such amended terms in its sole discretion no later than on the Trading Day following the Trading Day on which the Forward Seller and/or the Forward Purchaser proposed amended terms. Promptly upon the acceptance of such placement instruction relating to Forward Hedge Shares (or its amended terms and in any event prior to the opening of trading on the immediately following Trading Day), the Company and the Forward Purchaser shall enter into a Confirmation substantially in the form of Schedule H hereto and consistent with such placement instruction.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell Shares with respect to which the Manager is acting as sales agent or forward seller. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Manager will be successful in selling Shares, (ii) the Manager will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Manager 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 under this Agreement and (iii) the Manager shall be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically agreed by the Manager and the Company under a Terms Agreement. Sales of Shares, if any, through or to the Manager will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions that meet the definition of an “at the market offering” under Rule 415(a)(4) under the Act or otherwise agreed by the parties in other methods of sale.

(c) The Company shall neither (i) authorize the issuance and sale of, and the Manager shall not sell as sales agent or forward seller, any Share at a price lower than the minimum price therefor designated from time to time by the Company and notified to the Manager and, if applicable, the Forward Purchaser in writing nor (ii) request that the Manager sell Shares on any day that any Alternative Manager is also selling Shares or that the Forward Purchaser, any Alternative Forward Purchaser or any of their respective affiliates are unwinding their respective xxxxxx during any Unwind Period (as defined in the relevant Confirmation or Alternative Confirmation). In addition, the Company or the Manager may, upon notice to the other parties hereto by telephone (confirmed promptly by email or facsimile), suspend an offering of the Shares with respect to which the Manager is acting as sales agent or forward seller; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder or any Confirmation prior to the giving of such notice; and provided, further, that (i) any obligation under Sections 4(k), 4(l), 4(m), 5(a), 5(e), 5(f) and 5(g) and (ii) the notification obligation under Section 4(b), other than during the period in which a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Act (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Act or any similar rule), shall be waived during the period of any such suspension.

(d) If any party has reason to believe 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, it shall promptly notify the other parties and sales of Shares under this Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party.

(e) The compensation to the Manager for sales of Primary Shares on any given day with respect to which the Manager acts as sales agent under this Agreement shall be at a mutually agreed rate, which will not exceed, but may be lower than, 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds of the Primary Shares sold pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof on such day. Any compensation or commission due and payable to the Manager shall be deducted by the Manager from the gross offering proceeds it receives from the sale of the

Primary Shares pursuant to this Agreement. The compensation to the Forward Seller for sales of Forward Hedge Shares on any given day shall be reflected as a reduction at a mutually agreed rate, which will not exceed, but may be lower than, 1.5% from the Initial Forward Price (as defined in the relevant Confirmation). The Company may sell Primary Shares to the Manager as principal at a price agreed upon at the relevant Applicable Time and pursuant to a separate Terms Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company engages the Manager 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 Manager will agree to compensation that is customary for the Manager with respect to such transactions.

(f) Settlement for sales of the Primary Shares pursuant to this Agreement will occur on the second Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each such day, a “Primary Settlement Date”). On each Primary Settlement Date, the Primary Shares sold through or to the Manager for settlement on such date shall be issued and delivered by the Company to the Manager against payment of the gross proceeds (less commissions due to the Manager under (e) above) from the sale of such Primary Shares. Settlement for all such Primary Shares shall be effected by free delivery of the Primary Shares by the Company or its transfer agent to the Manager’s or its designee’s account (provided that the Manager shall have given the Company notice of such designee prior to the Primary Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form, in return for payments in same day funds delivered to the account designated by the Company. If the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) shall default on its obligation to deliver the Primary Shares on any Primary Settlement Date, the Company shall (i) hold the Manager harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and (ii) pay the Manager any commission, discount or other compensation to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default. Settlement for sales of the Forward Hedge Shares pursuant to this Agreement will occur on the second Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice) following the date on which such sales are made (each such day, a “Forward Settlement Date,” and together with any Primary Settlement Date, a “Settlement Date”). On each Forward Settlement Date, the Forward Hedge Shares sold through the Forward Seller for settlement on such date shall be delivered by the Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) to the Forward Seller against payment of the gross proceeds (less compensation due to the Forward Seller under Section 3(e) above) from the sale of such Forward Hedge Shares. Settlement for all such Forward Hedge Shares shall be effected by free delivery of the Forward Hedge Shares by the Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) to the Forward Seller’s or its designee’s account at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form, in return for payments by the Forward Seller of such proceeds in same-day funds delivered to the account designated by the Forward Purchaser.

(g) If acting as sales agent or forward seller hereunder, the Manager shall provide written confirmation (which may be by facsimile or email) to the Company and the Forward Purchaser following the close of trading on the NYSE each day in which the Shares are sold under this Agreement setting forth (i) the amount of Shares sold on such day and the gross offering proceeds received from such sale and (ii) the commission payable by the Company or the Forward Purchaser to the Manager with respect to such sales.

(h) At each Applicable Time, on each Settlement Date, at each Representation Date and each date on which Primary Shares are delivered to the Manager pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have affirmed each representation, warranty, covenant and other agreement contained in this Agreement. Any obligation of the Manager to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares as sales agent or forward seller shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the continuing satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 5 of this Agreement.

(i) If the Company wishes to issue and sell the Primary Shares other than as set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement (each, a “Placement”), it may notify the Manager of the proposed terms of such Placement. If the Manager, acting as principal, wishes to accept such proposed terms (which it may decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussions with the Company, wishes to accept amended terms, the Manager and the Company will enter into a Terms Agreement setting forth the terms of such Placement.

(j) The terms set forth in a Terms Agreement will not be binding on the Company or the Manager unless and until the Company and the Manager have each executed such Terms Agreement, accepting all of the terms of such Terms Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement will control.

(k) Each sale of the Primary Shares to the Manager shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and a Terms Agreement, which will provide for the sale of such Primary Shares to, and the purchase thereof by, the Manager. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Primary Shares by the Manager. The commitment of the Manager to purchase the Primary Shares pursuant to any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein and therein set forth. Each Terms Agreement shall specify the number of the Primary Shares to be purchased by the Manager pursuant thereto, the price to be paid to the Company for such Primary Shares, any provisions relating to rights of, and default by, underwriters acting together with the Manager in the reoffering of the Primary Shares, and the time and date and place of delivery of and payment for such Primary Shares.

(l) Subject to the limitations set forth herein and as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, sales pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreement may not be requested by the Company and need not be made by the Manager except during the period that begins 24 hours after the filing of a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and within the period required by the Exchange Act and ends, for all periods, two weeks before the filing of the immediately succeeding press release or public announcement containing the Company’s earnings, revenues or other results of operations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no sales of Shares shall take place, and the Company shall not request the sale of any Shares that would be sold, and the Manager shall not be obligated to sell, during any period in which the Company is, or could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information.

(m) Under no circumstances shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any Shares, if after giving effect to the sale of such Shares, the aggregate offering price of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement would exceed, together with all sales of Shares under this Agreement, any Terms Agreement and the Alternative Distribution Agreements, the Maximum Amount. Under no circumstances shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any Shares at a price lower than the minimum price authorized from time to time by the Company and notified to the Manager and, if applicable, the Forward Purchaser in writing.

(n) The Company agrees that any offer to sell, any solicitation of an offer to buy or any sales of Shares shall be effected by or through only one of the Manager or the Alternative Managers on any single given day, but in no event more than one, and the Company shall in no event request that the Manager sell Shares on any day that any Alternative Manager is also selling Shares or that the Forward Purchaser, any Alternative Forward Purchaser or any of their respective affiliates are unwinding their respective xxxxxx during any Unwind Period (as defined in the relevant Confirmation or Alternative Confirmation); provided, however, that (i) the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (A) exercise of any option, warrant, right or any conversion privilege set forth in the instrument governing such security or (B) sales solely to employees or security holders of the Company or the Subsidiaries, or to a trustee or other person acquiring such securities for the accounts of such persons, and (ii) such limitation shall not apply on any day during which no sales are made pursuant to this Agreement.

(o) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that in the good faith commercially reasonable judgment of the Forward Purchaser either (i) it or its affiliate is unable to borrow and deliver a number of Forward Hedge Shares equal to the number or aggregate gross sales price of Forward Hedge Shares specified in the relevant placement instruction for sale under this Agreement, or (ii) a Stock Borrow Event (as defined in the relevant Confirmation) would occur, then the Forward Seller shall be required to sell only the aggregate number of Forward Hedge Shares that the Forward Purchaser or its affiliate is able to so borrow below such cost.

4. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company agrees with the Manager and the Forward Purchaser that:

(a) Filing of Amendments; Response to Commission Requests. The Company will promptly advise the Manager and the Forward Purchaser of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or any Prospectus at any time and will offer the Manager and the Forward Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed amendment or supplement; and the Company will also advise the Manager and the Forward Purchaser promptly of (i) the filing of any such amendment or supplement, (ii) any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment to the Registration Statement, for any supplement to any Prospectus or for any additional information with respect thereto, (iii) the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement or the threatening of any proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Act and (iv) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceedings for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the suspension of any such qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(b) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Act (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Act or any similar rule), any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company will promptly notify the Manager and the Forward Purchaser of such event and promptly notify the Manager to suspend solicitation of purchases of the Shares and forthwith upon receipt of such notice, the Manager shall suspend its solicitation of purchases of the Shares and shall cease using the Prospectus; and if the Company shall decide to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, it will promptly advise the Manager and the Forward Purchaser by telephone (with confirmation in writing), will promptly prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and will advise the Manager and the Forward Purchaser when the Manager is free to resume such solicitation. Neither the consent nor the delivery of either the Manager or the Forward Purchaser to any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof. The Company, during the period when a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Act (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Act or any similar rule), will file promptly all documents required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of the Prospectus and will promptly advise the Manager and the Forward Purchaser if the Company failed to file such reports within the time period prescribed therein.

(c) Rule 158. As soon as practicable, but not later than 16 months, after the date of this Agreement, the Company will make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the date of this Agreement and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.

(d) Furnishing of Prospectuses. The Company will furnish to the Manager and the Forward Purchaser copies of the Registration Statement, including all exhibits, and the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Manager and the Forward Purchaser reasonably requests. The Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Manager and the Forward Purchaser all such documents.

(e) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will arrange for the qualification of the Shares for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Manager designates and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to consent to the service of process under the laws of any such jurisdiction (except service of process with respect to the offering and sale of the Shares).

(f) Payment of Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and any Confirmation, including but not limited to any filing fees and other expenses incurred in connection with qualification of the Shares under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Manager designates and the preparation and printing of memoranda relating thereto (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Manager and the Forward Purchaser relating to such qualification), fees and expenses incident to listing the Shares and any Confirmation Shares on the NYSE, fees and expenses in connection with the registration of the Shares and any Confirmation Shares under the Exchange Act, and expenses incurred in distributing preliminary prospectuses and the Prospectus (including any amendments and supplements thereto) to the Manager and the Forward Purchaser and for expenses incurred for preparing, printing and distributing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses to investors or prospective investors.

(g) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds received in connection with this offering and any Confirmation in the manner described in the “Use of Proceeds” section of the General Disclosure Package.

(h) Absence of Manipulation. The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.

(i) Listing and Reservation of Common Shares. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shares and any Confirmation Shares to be listed for trading on the NYSE and to maintain such listing. The Company will reserve out of authorized but unissued Common Shares and keep available at all times, free of pre-emptive rights, the full number of Shares and Confirmation Shares to be issued and sold or delivered hereunder or pursuant to any Confirmation or any Alternative Confirmation.

(j) Disclosure of Sales. The Company will disclose in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K the number of Common Shares sold through the Manager and the Alternative Managers pursuant to this Agreement and the Alternative Distribution Agreements and the net proceeds received by the Company with respect to sales of Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the Alternative Distribution Agreements, together with any other information that the Company reasonably believes is required to comply with the Act or the Rules and Regulations thereunder. The Company may also file a prospectus supplement to the Prospectus included as part of the Registration Statement with the Commission under the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) of the Act, which prospectus supplement will set forth such information, in which event the Company will deliver such number of copies of each such prospectus supplement to the NYSE as required by such exchange (which may be satisfied by filing with the Commission on its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system if permitted by the rules of the NYSE).

(m) Comfort Letters. On the date of this Agreement, at each Representation Date and each date on which Primary Shares are delivered to the Manager pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the Company will cause Deloitte & Touche LLP, or other independent accountants reasonably satisfactory to the Manager, to furnish to the Manager a letter, as of such date, in the form reasonably satisfactory to the Manager and its counsel, of the same tenor as the letter referred to in Section 5(a) hereof, but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented, or to the documents incorporated by reference into the Prospectus, to the date of such letter.

(p) Failure to Timely File under Rule 424. If to the knowledge of the Company, all filings required by Rule 424 in connection with this offering shall not have been made or the representation in Section 2(b) shall not be true and correct on the applicable Settlement Date, the Company will offer to any person who has agreed to purchase Shares as the result of an offer to purchase solicited by the Manager the right to refuse to purchase and pay for such Shares.

(r) Restriction on Sale of Securities. At any time that sales of Shares under this Agreement have been made but not yet settled, or at any time that the Company has outstanding with the Manager instructions to sell Shares under this Agreement, but such instructions have not been fulfilled or cancelled, the Company will not offer, sell, issue, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of Common Shares, in each case without giving the Manager and the Forward Purchaser at least three business days’ prior written notice specifying the nature of the proposed sale and the date of such proposed sale; provided, however, that such restriction will not be required in connection with the Company’s issuance or sale of (i) any securities issued or to be issued pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive or award plans, including securities of the Company issued upon the exercise or vesting thereof, or upon conversion of operating partnership units, (ii) Common Shares to be issued as partial or full payment for properties or other assets directly or indirectly

(b) Indemnification of Company. The Manager will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its trust managers and each of its officers who signs a Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, a “Manager Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Manager Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of the Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Manager specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Manager Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Manager Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Manager consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of the Manager: the name of the Manager contained in the first paragraph under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus Supplement.

(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Manager and the Forward Purchaser on the other 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 on the one hand and the Manager and the Forward Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Manager and the Forward Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (which shall be deemed to include the proceeds that would be received by the Company upon physical settlement of any Confirmation assuming that the aggregate amount payable by the Forward Purchaser under such Confirmation is equal to the aggregate amount of the net proceeds realized upon the sale of the Forward Hedge Shares and before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total commissions received by the Manager and the aggregate Spread (net of related hedging and other costs) received by the Forward Purchaser under any applicable Confirmation. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Manager and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Manager shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares sold by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Manager 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 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Company and the Manager agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 6(d).

7. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Manager set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Manager, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers, trust managers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares. If any Shares have been sold hereunder, the representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under Section 4 shall also remain in effect.

Dear Sirs:

Camden Property Trust, a Texas real estate investment trust (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and in the Distribution Agency Agreement, dated May 22, 2023 (the “Distribution Agreement”), between the Company, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. (the “Manager”) and the Forward Purchaser, to issue and sell to the Manager the securities specified in the Schedule hereto (the “Purchased Securities”) [, and solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, to grant to the Manager the option to purchase the additional securities specified in the Schedule hereto (the “Additional Securities”)]. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Distribution Agreement.

[The Manager shall have the right to purchase from the Company all or a portion of the Additional Securities as may be necessary to cover over-allotments made in connection with the offering of the Purchased Securities, at the same purchase price per share to be paid by the Manager to the Company for the Purchased Securities; provided that the purchase price payable by the Manager for any Additional Securities shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions paid or declared by the Company on the Purchased Securities but not payable on such Additional Securities. This option may be exercised by the Manager at any time (but not more than once) on or before the 30^th day following the date hereof, by written notice to the Company. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of shares of Additional Securities as to which the option is being exercised, and the date and time when the Additional Securities are to be delivered (such date and time being herein referred to as the “Option Settlement Date”); provided, however, that the Option Settlement Date shall not be earlier than the Settlement Date (as set forth in the Schedule hereto) nor earlier than the second business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised nor later than the fifth business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised. Payment of the purchase price for the Additional Securities shall be made at the Option Settlement Date in the same manner and at the same office as the payment for the Purchased Securities.]

Each of the provisions of the Distribution Agreement not specifically related to the solicitation by the Manager, as sales agent or forward seller, of offers to purchase securities 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 provisions had been set forth in full herein. Each of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made as of the date of this Terms Agreement and the Settlement Date [and any Option Settlement Date], except that each representation and warranty in Section 2 of the Distribution Agreement which makes reference to the Prospectus (as defined therein) shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty as of the date of the Distribution Agreement in relation to the Prospectus, and also a representation and warranty as of the date of this Terms Agreement and the Settlement Date [and any Option Settlement Date] in relation to the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to relate to the Purchased Securities.

An amendment to the Registration Statement, or a supplement to the Prospectus, as the case may be, relating to the Purchased Securities [and the Additional Securities], in the form heretofore delivered to the Manager is now proposed to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Distribution Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Manager and the latter agrees to purchase from the Company the Purchased Securities at the time and place and at the purchase price set forth in the Schedule hereto.

A-1

Notwithstanding any provision of this Terms Agreement or any terms agreement to the contrary, the Company consents to the Manager trading in the Common Shares for the Manager’s own account and for the account of its clients at the same time as sales of the Shares occur pursuant to this Terms Agreement.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us a counterpart hereof, whereupon this Terms Agreement, including those provisions of the Distribution Agreement incorporated herein by reference, shall constitute a binding agreement between the Manager and the Company.

The Manager shall have received letters, dated, respectively, the date hereof and the date of the Agreement, of Deloitte & Touche LLP, or other independent accountants reasonably satisfactory to the Manager and the Forward Purchaser, confirming that they are an independent registered public accounting firm within the meaning of the Securities Laws to the effect that:

(i) in their opinion the audited consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules audited by them and included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statements and the General Disclosure Package comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Laws;

(ii) they have read the minutes of the meetings of the shareholders, Board of Trust Managers and committees of the Board of Trust Managers of the Company;

(iii) they have performed the procedures specified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for a review of interim financial information as described in PCAOB AU 722, Interim Financial Information, on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the General Disclosure Package; and,

(iv) they have made inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as to whether the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the related rules and regulations of the SEC; and on the basis thereof, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that:

(a) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statements and the General Disclosure Package, do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the related rules and regulations adopted by the SEC; and,

(b) any material modifications should be made to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statements and the General Disclosure Package, for them to be in conformity with GAAP;

F-1

(vi) they have compared dollar amounts (or percentages derived from such dollar amounts) and other financial and statistical information contained in the Registration Statement, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (other than any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is an “electronic road show,” as defined in Rule 433(h)) and the General Disclosure Package, as specified by the Manager (in each case to the extent that such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial and statistical information are derived from the general accounting records of the Company and the Subsidiaries or are derived directly from such records by analysis or computation), with the results obtained from inquiries, a reading of such general accounting records and other procedures specified in such letter and have found such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial and statistical information to be in agreement with such results.

All financial statements and schedules included in material incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the General Disclosure Package shall be deemed included in the Registration Statement or the General Disclosure Package for purposes of this Schedule.

This Confirmation, together with any other Confirmations for registered forward transactions entered into between Party A and Party B in connection with the Sales Agreement (as defined below) (each, an “Additional Confirmation”) shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA Master Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if Party A and Party B had executed an agreement in such form on the Trade Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the Agreement, this Confirmation, the Pricing Supplement, the 2006 Definitions and the 2002 Definitions, the following will prevail for purposes of the Transaction in the order of precedence indicated: (i) the Pricing Supplement, (ii) this Confirmation, (iii) the 2002 Definitions, (iv) the 2006 Definitions and (v) the Agreement. The parties hereby agree that no Transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates and the Transactions to which the Additional Confirmations, if any, relate (each, an “Additional Transaction”) shall be governed by the Agreement. For purposes of the 2002 Definitions, the Transaction is a Share Forward Transaction.

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

Settlement:		Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement, at the election of Party B as set forth in a Settlement Notice delivered on or after the Effective Date (if applicable) that satisfies the Settlement Notice Requirements; provided that Physical Settlement shall apply (i) if no Settlement Method is validly selected, (ii) with respect to any Settlement Shares in respect of which Party A is unable to unwind its hedge by the end of the Unwind Period (a) in a manner that, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of Party A, based on the advice of counsel, is consistent with the requirements for qualifying for

H-4


		the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act (as if such requirements were applicable to purchases by Party A in connection with its unwind activity hereunder and under any Additional Transaction) or (b) in the good faith and commercially reasonable judgment of Party A due to the occurrence of Disrupted Days or to the lack of sufficient liquidity in the Shares on any Exchange Business Day during the Unwind Period relative to the liquidity on the Effective Date, (iii) to any Termination Settlement Date (as defined below under “Termination Settlement”) or (iv) if the Maturity Date is a Settlement Date other than as the result of a valid Settlement Notice in respect of such Settlement Date.

Settlement Notice
Requirements:		Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, a Settlement Notice delivered by Party B that specifies Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement will neither be effective to establish a Settlement Date nor require Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement unless Party B delivers to Party A with such Settlement Notice representations signed by Party B (i) substantially in the form set forth in clause (a) under the heading “Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Party B” and (ii) that such settlement method election, and settlement in accordance therewith, does not and will not violate or conflict with any law, regulation or supervisory guidance applicable to Party B, or any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets, and any governmental consents that are required to have been obtained by Party B with respect to such election or settlement have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with.

Unwind Period:		Each Exchange Business Day that is not a Disrupted Day in full during the period from and including the first Exchange Business Day following the date Party B validly elects Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement in respect of a Settlement Date through the second Scheduled Trading Day preceding such Settlement Date (or the immediately preceding Exchange Business Day if such Scheduled Trading Day is not an Exchange Business Day); subject to “Termination Settlement” below.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cash Settlement:		On any Settlement Date in respect of which Cash Settlement applies, if the Cash Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date is a positive number, Party A will pay such Cash Settlement Amount to Party B.

		(a) (i)(A) the weighted average (weighted on the same basis as clause (B)) of the Forward Prices on each day during the applicable Unwind Period (calculated assuming no reduction to the Forward Price for any Forward Price Reduction Date that occurs during such Unwind Period, which is accounted for in clause (b) below), minus an amount which shall not exceed, but may be lower than, USD 0.015, minus (B) the weighted average price (the “Unwind Purchase Price”) at which Party A purchases Shares in a commercially reasonable manner at prevailing purchase prices during the Unwind Period to unwind its commercially reasonable hedge with respect to the portion of the Base Amount to be settled during the Unwind Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, purchases on any Disrupted Day in part), taking into account Shares anticipated to be delivered or received if Net Share Settlement applies, and the restrictions of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act agreed to hereunder, multiplied by (ii) the Settlement Shares for the relevant Settlement Date; minus

		(b) the product of (i) the Forward Price Reduction Amount for any Forward Price Reduction Date that occurs during such Unwind Period, and (ii) the number of Settlement Shares with respect to which Party A has not unwound its commercially reasonable hedge for the Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner, as of such Forward Price Reduction Date.

Net Share Settlement:		On any Settlement Date in respect of which Net Share Settlement applies, if the Cash Settlement Amount is a (i) positive number, Party A shall deliver a number of Shares to Party B equal to the Net Share Settlement Shares, or (ii) negative number, Party B shall deliver a number of Shares to Party A equal to the Net Share Settlement Shares; provided that, if Party A determines in its good faith and commercially reasonable judgment that it would be required to deliver Net Share Settlement Shares to Party B, Party A may elect to deliver a portion of such Net Share Settlement Shares on one or more dates prior to the applicable Settlement Date.

Net Share Settlement Shares:		With respect to a Settlement Date, the absolute value of the Cash Settlement Amount divided by the Unwind Purchase Price, with the number of Shares rounded up in the event such calculation results in a fractional number.

Settlement Currency:		USD.

Failure to Deliver:		Applicable if Party A is required to deliver Shares hereunder; otherwise, Inapplicable.

Additional Adjustment:		If, in Party A’s commercially reasonable judgment, the stock loan fee to Party A (or an affiliate thereof), excluding the federal funds or other interest rate component payable by the relevant stock lender to Party A or such affiliate (the “Stock Loan Fee”), over any one-month period, of borrowing a number of Shares equal to the Base Amount to hedge its exposure to the Transaction in a commercially reasonable manner exceeds a weighted average rate equal to [•]¹¹ basis points per annum, the Calculation Agent shall reduce the Forward Price to compensate Party A for the amount by which the Stock Loan Fee exceeded a weighted average rate equal to [•]¹² basis points per annum during such period. The Calculation Agent shall notify Party B prior to making any such adjustment to the Forward Price and, upon the request of Party B, Party A shall provide an itemized list of the Stock Loan Fees for the applicable one-month period.

Acceleration Events:

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

(c)

H-13

(e)

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

For purposes of clause (e) above, the “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Party A and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Party A including any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) of which Party A is or may be deemed to be a part (Party A or any such person or group, a “Party A Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Party B (including without limitation Article XIX of the Declaration of Trust) that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Party A in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion. The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or registration requirements (other than pursuant to the Exchange Act) or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Party A Person, or could reasonably be expected to result in an adverse effect on a Party A Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Party A in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion (it being understood that reporting obligations under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, in each case, as in effect on the Trade Date, will not be deemed to have such an adverse effect), minus (B) 1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

Termination Settlement:

Upon the occurrence of any Acceleration Event, Party A shall have the right to designate, upon at least two Scheduled Trading Days’ notice, any Scheduled Trading Day following such occurrence to be a Settlement Date hereunder (a “Termination Settlement Date”) to which Physical Settlement shall apply, and to select the number of Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date; provided that (i) in the case of an Acceleration Event arising out of an Ownership Event, the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Party A shall not exceed the number of Shares necessary to reduce the Share Amount to the Applicable Share Limit, and (ii) in the case of an Acceleration Event arising out of a Stock Borrow Event the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Party A shall not exceed the number of Shares as to which such Stock Borrow Event exists. If, upon designation of a Termination Settlement Date by Party A pursuant to the preceding sentence, Party B fails to deliver the Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date when due or otherwise fails to perform obligations within its control in respect of the Transaction, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Party B and Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply. If an Acceleration Event occurs during an Unwind Period relating to a number of Settlement Shares to which Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies, then on the Termination Settlement Date relating to such Acceleration Event, notwithstanding any election to the contrary by Party B, Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement shall apply to the portion of the Settlement Shares relating to such Unwind Period as to which Party A has unwound its hedge and Physical Settlement shall apply in respect of (x) the remainder (if any) of such Settlement Shares and (y) the Settlement Shares designated by Party A in respect of such Termination Settlement Date. If an Acceleration Event occurs after Party B has designated a Settlement Date to which Physical Settlement applies but before the relevant Settlement Shares have been delivered to Party A, then Party A shall have the right to cancel such Settlement Date and designate a Termination Settlement Date in respect of such Shares pursuant to the first sentence hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, if Party A designates a Termination Settlement Date as a result of an Acceleration Event caused by an Excess Dividend or Extraordinary Dividend of the type described in clause “(b) Dividends and Other Distributions” under the heading “Acceleration Events,” no adjustment(s) shall be made to account for the amount of such Excess Dividend or Extraordinary Dividend.

Party B agrees to indemnify Party A and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and controlling parties (Party A and each such affiliate or person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint and several, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party arising out of, in connection with, or relating to any breach of any covenant or representation made by Party B in this Confirmation or the Agreement and will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto, but only to the extent that the relevant loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final and nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such breach. Party B will not be liable under this Indemnity paragraph to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final and nonappealable judgment by a court to have resulted from Party A’s breach of any covenant or representation made by Party A in this Confirmation or the Agreement or any willful misconduct, fraud, gross negligence or bad faith of any Indemnified Party. For the avoidance of doubt, any payments due as a result of this provision may not be used to set off any obligation of Party A upon settlement of the Transaction.

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

No Collateral or Setoff:

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

Status of Claims in Bankruptcy:

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

Limit on Beneficial Ownership:

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

H-17

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

Delivery of Cash:

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

Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act:

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

For the purpose of Section 3(e) of the Agreement, each of Party A and Party B makes the following representation: It is not required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, of any Relevant Jurisdiction to make any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax from any payment (other than interest under Section 9(h) of the Agreement or amounts payable hereunder that may be considered to be interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to be made by it to the other party under the Agreement. In making this representation, it may rely on (i) the accuracy of any representations made by the other party pursuant to Section 3(f) of the Agreement, (ii) the satisfaction of the agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i) or Section 4(a)(iii) of the Agreement and the accuracy and effectiveness of any document provided by the other party pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) or Section 4(a)(iii) of the Agreement and (iii) the satisfaction of the agreement of the other party contained in Section 4(d) of the Agreement, except that it will not be a breach of this representation where reliance is placed on clause (ii) above and the other party does not deliver a form or document under Section 4(a)(iii) of the Agreement by reason of material prejudice to its legal or commercial position.

(b)

Each payment received or to be received by it in connection with this Confirmation will be effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

(ii)

Party B makes the following representations:

H-20

(A)

For the avoidance of doubt, a FATCA Withholding Tax is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable law for the purposes of Section 2(d) of the Agreement.

(d)

871(m) Protocol. To the extent that either party to this Confirmation or the Agreement with respect to the Transaction is not an adhering party to the ISDA 2015 Section 871(m) Protocol published by ISDA on November 2, 2015 and available at xxx.xxxx.xxx, as may be amended, supplemented, replaced or superseded from time to time (the “871(m) Protocol”), the parties agree that the provisions and amendments contained in the Attachment to the 871(m) Protocol are incorporated into and apply to the Agreement with respect to the Transaction as if set forth in full herein. The parties further agree that, solely for purposes of applying such provisions and amendments to the Agreement with respect to the Transaction, references to “each Covered Master Agreement” in the 871(m) Protocol will be deemed to be references to the Agreement with respect to the Transaction, and references to the “Implementation Date” in the 871(m) Protocol will be deemed to be references to the Trade Date of the Transaction. For greater certainty, if there is any inconsistency between this provision and the provisions contained in any other agreement between the parties with respect to the Transaction, this provision shall prevail unless such other agreement expressly overrides the provisions of the Attachment to the 871(m) Protocol.

(c)

Tax documentation. For the purposes of Sections 4(a)(i) and 4(a)(ii) of the Agreement, each of Party A and Party B shall provide to the other party a valid and duly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or, in the case of Party A, Form W-8ECI, or any successor thereto, (i) on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation, (ii) promptly upon reasonable demand by the other party and (iii) promptly upon learning that any such tax form previously provided by Party A or Party B, respectively, has become invalid, obsolete, or incorrect.

Party A and Party B agree that if Party B designates a “Settlement Date” with respect to one or more Other Forwards for which “Cash Settlement” or “Net Share Settlement” is applicable, and the resulting “Unwind Period” for such Other Forwards coincides for any period of time with an Unwind Period for the Transaction (the “Overlap Unwind Period”), Party B shall notify Party A at least one Scheduled Trading Day prior to the commencement of such Overlap Unwind Period of the first Scheduled Trading Day and length of such Overlap Unwind

H-21

Period, and Party A shall be permitted to purchase Shares to unwind its hedge in respect of the Transaction only on alternating Scheduled Trading Days during such Overlap Unwind Period, commencing on the first, second, third or later Scheduled Trading Day of such Overlap Unwind Period, as notified to Party A by Party B at least one Scheduled Trading Day prior to such Overlap Unwind Period (which alternating Scheduled Trading Days, for the avoidance of doubt, may be every other Scheduled Trading Day if there is only one Other Dealer, every third Scheduled Trading Day if there are two Other Dealers, etc.).

[U.S. Resolutions Stay Protocol:]

The parties agree that (i) to the extent that prior to the date hereof all parties have adhered to the 2018 ISDA U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol (the “Protocol”), the terms of the Protocol are incorporated into and form a part of this Confirmation, and for such purposes this Confirmation shall be deemed a Protocol Covered Agreement and each party shall be deemed to have the same status as Regulated Entity and/or Adhering Party as applicable to it under the Protocol; (ii) to the extent that prior to the date hereof the parties have executed a separate agreement the effect of which is to amend the qualified financial contracts between them to conform with the requirements of the QFC Stay Rules (the “Bilateral Agreement”), the terms of the Bilateral Agreement are incorporated into and form a part of this Confirmation and each party shall be deemed to have the status of “Covered Entity” or “Counterparty Entity” (or other similar term) as applicable to it under the Bilateral Agreement; or (iii) if clause (i) and clause (ii) do not apply, the terms of Section 1 and Section 2 and the related defined terms (together, the “Bilateral Terms”) of the form of bilateral template entitled “Full-Length Omnibus (for use between U.S. G-SIBs and Corporate Groups)” published by ISDA on November 2, 2018 (currently available on the 2018 ISDA U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol page at xxx.xxxx.xxx and a copy of which is available upon request), the effect of which is to amend the qualified financial contracts between the parties thereto to conform with the requirements of the QFC Stay Rules, are hereby incorporated into and form a part of this Confirmation, and for such purposes this Confirmation shall be deemed a “Covered Agreement,” Party A shall be deemed a “Covered Entity,” and Party B shall be deemed a “Counterparty Entity.” In the event that, after the date of this Confirmation, all parties hereto become adhering parties to the Protocol, the terms of the Protocol will replace the terms of this paragraph. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Confirmation and the terms of the Protocol, the Bilateral Agreement or the Bilateral Terms (each, the “QFC Stay Terms”), as applicable, the QFC Stay Terms will govern. Terms used in this paragraph without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them under the QFC Stay Rules. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “this Confirmation” include any related credit enhancements entered into between the parties or provided by one to the other.

ANNEX A

PRIVATE PLACEMENT PROCEDURES

(i)

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

(ii)

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