As Forward Purchasers

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Each of Urban Edge Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), and Urban Edge Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), confirms its agreement with each of Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC, BTIG, LLC, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co. LLC, X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, Xxxxxxxxx LLC, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC and Truist Securities, Inc., each in its capacity as sales agent and/or principal in connection with the offering and sale of any Issuance Shares (as defined below) hereunder (each an “Agent” and together, the “Agents”) and (except in the case of BTIG, LLC) in connection with the offering and sale of any Forward Hedge Shares (as defined below) hereunder, as forward seller (each a “Forward Seller,” and together, the “Forward Sellers”), and each of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co. LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Xxxxxxxxx LLC, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC, The Toronto-Dominion Bank and Truist Bank or an affiliate thereof, each as forward purchaser under any Forward Contract (as defined below) (in such capacity, each a “Forward Purchaser,” and together, the “Forward Purchasers”).

For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that, if Forward Hedge Shares are offered or sold through an Agent acting as forward seller for the applicable Forward Purchaser, then such Agent, as forward seller, shall be acting as sales agent for the applicable Forward Purchaser with respect to the offer and sale of such Forward Hedge Shares, and, except in cases where this Agreement expressly refers to an Agent acting as sales agent for the Company or unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to an Agent acting as sales agent shall also be deemed to apply to such Agent when acting as forward seller, mutatis mutandis.

Section 1.Description of Shares.

Each of the Company and the Operating Partnership agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company may issue and sell through Issuances and/or by way of Forwards, in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, Shares collectively having an aggregate Sales Price of up to $250,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 1 regarding the aggregate sale price of the Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company, and the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The issuance and sale of the Shares through the Agents and the Forward Sellers will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below) that was filed by the Company and became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) (“Rule 462(e)”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (collectively with the rules and regulations thereunder, the “Securities Act”), although nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement to offer and sell the Shares. The Company agrees that whenever it determines to sell Shares directly to an Agent as principal, it will enter into a separate written agreement with such Agent containing the terms and conditions of such sale (such an agreement, a “Terms Agreement”).

The Company has filed, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-266885), including a base prospectus, relating to certain securities, including the Shares to be issued from time to time by the Company, and which incorporates by reference documents that the Company has filed or will file in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”). The Company has prepared a prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Shares (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the base prospectus included as part of such automatic shelf registration statement. The Company shall furnish to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers for use by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers copies of the prospectus included as part of such automatic shelf registration statement, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, relating to the Shares. The “Registration Statement,” as of any time, means such registration statement as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto at such time, including the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and the documents and information otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to Rule 430B of the Securities Act (“Rule 430B”); provided, however, that the “Registration Statement” without reference to a time means such registration statements as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto as of the time of the first contract of sale for the Shares, which time shall be considered the “new effective date” of the Registration Statement with respect to the Shares within the meaning of paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 430B, including the exhibits and schedules thereto at such time, the documents and information incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act

and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to Rule 430B. The Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective is herein called the “Original Registration Statement.” The base prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, included in the Registration Statement, as it may be supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form in which such prospectus and/or Prospectus Supplement have most recently been filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) is herein called the “Prospectus.” Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein, and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing after the execution hereof of any document with the Commission deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX.

Section 2. Placements.

Each time that the Company wishes to execute an Issuance or a Forward hereunder, as the case may be (each, a “Placement”), it will, (a) in the case of an Issuance, notify the applicable Agent by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) containing the parameters in accordance with which it desires the Issuance Shares to be sold, which shall, at a minimum, include the maximum number of Issuance Shares to be issued, the Selling Commission Rate, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of Issuance Shares that may be sold in any one day and any minimum price per share below which sales may not be made or a formula pursuant to which such minimum price per share shall be determined (an “Issuance Placement Notice”), a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, or (b) in the case of a Forward, notify the applicable Forward Purchaser and Forward Seller by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) containing the parameters in accordance with which it desires to effect the Forward, which shall at a minimum include the Maximum Forward Hedge Shares, the time period or periods during which offers are to be made, any limitation on the aggregate number of Forward Hedge Shares that may be sold in any one day, any minimum price per share below which sales may not be made or any formula pursuant to which such minimum price shall be determined, the Forward Hedge Selling Commission Rate, the remaining amount available under the Maximum Amount and, as applicable, certain specified terms of the Forward (a “Forward Placement Notice”), a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A-2. The Agent then in receipt of an Issuance Placement Notice is herein referred to as the “Current Agent,” and the Forward Seller then in receipt of a Forward Placement Notice is herein referred to as the “Current Forward Seller.” The Forward Purchaser for whom the Current Forward Seller is acting at any time is herein referred to as the “Current Forward Purchaser.” There may be only one Current Agent per day and no Current Agent during any Forward Hedge Selling Period. In addition, there may only be one Current Forward Purchaser and one Current Forward Seller during any Forward Hedge Selling Period and during any Unwind Period (as defined in the Master Forward Confirmation). The Company further agrees that it will not sell, or instruct any other

party hereto to sell, any Shares under any other sales agency financing agreements or other similar arrangements on such day. The Current Agent or the Current Forward Seller, as the case may be, at any given time is herein referred to as the “Current Seller.” Each Placement Notice sent to an Agent, or to a Forward Seller and a Forward Purchaser, as applicable, shall originate from any of the individuals from the Company set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Company listed on such schedule), and shall be addressed to two or more of the individuals from such Agent (in the case of an Issuance Placement Notice) or such Forward Purchaser and such Forward Seller (in the case of a Forward Placement Notice) set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto, as such Exhibit B attached hereto may be amended from time to time. The Company may amend Exhibit B from time to time by providing written notice to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers in accordance with Section 14 hereof.

If the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser and the Current Forward Seller, as applicable, wishes to accept such proposed terms included in the Placement Notice (which it may decline to do so for any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussion with the Company, wishes to accept amended terms, the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser and the Current Forward Seller, as applicable, will, prior to 4:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the business day following the business day on which such Placement Notice is delivered to the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser and the Current Forward Seller, as applicable, issue to the Company a notice by email (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) addressed to two or more of the individuals from each of the Company and the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser and the Current Forward Seller, as applicable, set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto setting forth the terms that the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser and the Current Forward Seller, as applicable, are willing to accept. Where the terms provided in the Placement Notice are amended as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, such terms will not be binding on the Company or the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser and the Current Forward Seller, as applicable, until the Company delivers to the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser and the Current Forward Seller, as applicable, an acceptance by email (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) of all of the terms of such Placement Notice, as amended (the “Acceptance”), which Acceptance shall be addressed to two or more of the individuals from the Company and the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser and the Current Forward Seller, as applicable, set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. The Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of the acceptance by the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser and the Current Forward Seller, as applicable, of the terms of the Placement Notice or upon receipt by the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser and the Current Forward Seller, as applicable, of the Company’s Acceptance, as the case may be, unless and until (i) the entire amount of the Issuance Amount or the Maximum Forward Hedge Shares, as applicable, has been sold, (ii) the Selling Period specified in the relevant Placement Notice has expired, (iii) by notice delivered in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph, the Company terminates the Placement Notice, (iv) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters superseding those contained in the earlier dated Placement Notice, (v) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 13 or (vi) either party shall have suspended the Issuance or the

Forward, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 4 below. The amount of any discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Company to the Current Agent in connection with an Issuance shall be determined in accordance with the terms set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto. The amount of any discount, commission or other compensation to be reflected in the Forward Price (as defined in the Master Forward Confirmation) in connection with a Forward shall be determined in accordance with the terms set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto.

It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor the Current Agent nor the Current Forward Purchaser and the Current Forward Seller, as applicable, will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to an Issuance or a Forward, as the case may be, unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser and the Current Forward Seller, as applicable, and either (x) the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser and the Current Forward Seller, as applicable, accepts the terms of such Placement Notice or (y) where the terms of such Placement Notice are amended, the Company accepts such amended terms by means of an Acceptance pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified in the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), the applicable Master Forward Confirmation (in the case of a Forward) and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), the terms of the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) will control.

No Forward Placement Notice may be delivered if either (x) an ex-dividend date or ex-date, as applicable, for any dividend or distribution payable by the Company on the Common Shares is scheduled to occur during the period from, and including, the first scheduled Trading Day of the related Forward Hedge Selling Period under the Forward to, and including, the last scheduled Trading Day of the Forward Hedge Selling Period under such Forward or (y) such Forward Placement Notice, together with all prior Forward Placement Notices delivered by the Company hereunder, would result in the aggregate Capped Number under all Forward Contracts entered into or to be entered into between the Company and the Forward Purchasers exceeding 19.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding as of the date of this Agreement.

Section 3. Execution of Placements by the Agents and the Forward Sellers.

(a) Execution of Issuances by the Agents. In the case of an Issuance Placement Notice, subject to the provisions of Section 2, the Current Agent, for the Issuance Selling Period specified in such Issuance Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell the Issuance Shares up to the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Issuance Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable). The Current Agent will provide written confirmation to the Company no later than the opening of the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Issuance Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Issuance Shares sold on such day, the Selling Commission payable by the Company to the Current Agent on Issuance Shares sold during the preceding Trading Day, and the Net Proceeds (as defined

below) payable to the Company, with an itemization of the deductions made by the Current Agent (as set forth in Section 6(a)) from the gross proceeds that it receives from such sales. Subject to the terms of the Issuance Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), the Current Agent may sell Issuance Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, including without limitation sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), on any other existing trading market for the Common Shares or to or through a market maker. Subject to the terms of the Issuance Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), the Current Agent may also sell Issuance Shares by any other method permitted by law, including but not limited to, privately negotiated transactions, which may include block trades. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Current Agent will be successful in selling Issuance Shares, (ii) the Current Agent will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Issuance Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Current Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Issuance Shares as required under this Section 3 and (iii) the Current Agent shall be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise agreed by the Current Agent in a Terms Agreement. In the case of clause (i) and (ii), the Current Agent will be acting as agent for the Company and not as principal.

(b)Execution of Forwards by the Forward Sellers. In the case of a Forward Placement Notice, subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof and of the Master Forward Confirmation, in order to enable the buyer of the relevant Forward to establish a commercially reasonable hedge position, (i) the Current Forward Purchaser, during the Forward Hedge Selling Period, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to borrow or cause its affiliates to borrow a number of Forward Hedge Shares as close as reasonably practicable to the Maximum Forward Hedge Shares specified in the Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), and (ii) the Current Forward Seller (or its agent or affiliate), during the Forward Hedge Selling Period, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell the Forward Hedge Shares up to the Maximum Forward Hedge Shares specified in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable); provided, however, that the number of Forward Hedge Shares sold shall not exceed an amount that when multiplied by the Initial Forward Price would exceed the remaining notional amount available under the Maximum Amount. Subject to the provisions of the Master Forward Confirmation, the Current Forward Seller will provide written confirmation to the Company and the Current Forward Purchaser no later than the opening of the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Forward Hedge Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Forward Hedge Shares sold on such day, the aggregate Forward Hedge Selling Commission in respect of such Forward Hedge Shares, and the volume-weighted average of the price per Forward Hedge Share sold on such day. Subject to the provisions of the Master Forward Confirmation, either of the Current Forward Seller or Current Forward Purchaser will also deliver a “Supplemental Confirmation” (as defined in the Master Forward Confirmation) no later than the opening of the Trading Day next following the end of the Forward Hedge Selling Period under the relevant Forward setting forth the “Trade Date,” “Effective Date,” “Number of Shares,” “Maturity Date,” “Initial Forward Price,” “Spread,” “Volume-Weighted Hedge Price,” “Initial Stock Loan Rate,” “Maximum Stock Loan Rate,” “Forward Price Reduction Dates,” “Forward Price Reduction Amounts” and “Regular Dividend

Amounts” for such Forward. Subject to the terms of the Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), the Current Forward Seller may sell Forward Hedge Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act (provided that such method shall be commercially reasonable), including, without limitation, sales made directly on the NYSE, on any other existing trading market for the Common Shares or to or through a market maker. Subject to the terms of the Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), the Current Forward Seller may also sell Forward Hedge Shares by any other commercially reasonable method permitted by law, including, without limitation, privately negotiated transactions, which may include block trades. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Current Forward Purchaser’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to borrow all or any portion of the Forward Hedge Shares (and the Current Forward Seller’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such portion of the Forward Hedge Shares) for any Forward hereunder shall be subject in all respects to the last paragraph of Section 3 of the Master Forward Confirmation. Each of the Company and the Current Forward Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (a) there can be no assurance that the Current Forward Purchaser will be successful in borrowing or causing its affiliates to borrow, or that the Current Forward Seller will be successful in selling, Forward Hedge Shares, (b) the Current Forward Seller will incur no liability or obligation to the Company, the Current Forward Purchaser or any other person or entity if it does not sell Forward Hedge Shares borrowed by the Current Forward Purchaser or its affiliates for any reason other than a failure by the Current Forward Seller to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Forward Hedge Shares as required under this Section 3, and (c) the Current Forward Purchaser will incur no liability or obligation to the Company, the Current Forward Seller or any other person or entity if it does not borrow or cause its affiliates to borrow Forward Hedge Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Current Forward Purchaser to use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow or cause its affiliates to borrow such Forward Hedge Shares as required under this Section 3. In acting hereunder, the Current Forward Seller will be acting as agent for the Current Forward Purchaser and not as principal.

Section 4. Suspension of Offerings.

The Company or the Current Seller may, upon notice to the other party in writing to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto (including by email correspondence, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) or by telephone to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto (confirmed immediately by email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto), suspend any Issuance or Forward, as the case may be, under this Agreement; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair either party’s obligations with respect to Issuance Shares or Forward Hedge Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. Each of the parties agrees that no such notice under this Section 4 shall be effective against the other unless it is made in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 4.

Section 5. Representations and Warranties.

(a)Representations and Warranties by the Company and the Operating Partnership. Each of the Company and the Operating Partnership jointly and severally represents and warrants

to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers as of the date hereof and as of each Representation Date (as defined below) on which a certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7(o) of this Agreement, as of each Applicable Time (as defined below) and as of each Settlement Date (as defined below), and agrees with the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers as follows:

(1)Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3ASR under the Securities Act. The Original Registration Statement meets, and the offering and sale of the Shares as contemplated hereby complies with the requirements of, Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Original Registration Statement was filed by the Company with the Commission during the three year period prior to the date hereof. The Original Registration Statement became effective under the Securities Act upon filing with the Commission. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405, and the Shares have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on an automatic shelf registration statement. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act has been received by the Company. No order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened or contemplated by the Commission or any securities authority of any jurisdiction. Any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with.

At the respective times the Original Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto became effective, at each deemed effective date with respect to the Agents and the Forward Sellers and the Shares pursuant to Rule 430B and at each Settlement Date, the Original Registration Statement and any amendments and supplements thereto complied, complies and will comply in all material respects with the requirements under the Securities Act, and did not, does not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Neither the Prospectus nor any amendments or supplements thereto, as of their respective dates, and at each Applicable Time and Settlement Date, as the case may be, included, includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The copies of the Registration Statement and any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and any amendments thereto, any other preliminary prospectus, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below) that is required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 411 and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto delivered or made available to the Agents and the Forward Sellers for use in connection with the offering of any Shares were and will be, at the time of such

delivery, identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and as of the relevant Applicable Time and Settlement Date, or until any earlier date that the issuer notifies any Agent or Forward Seller, as described in Section 7(d) hereof, did not, does not and will not (i) include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified or (ii) when taken together with the Prospectus, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The representations and warranties in this Section 5(a)(1) shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Original Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agent Information (as hereinafter defined).

The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, at the respective times when they became or hereafter become effective or at the respective times they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied, comply and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable.

Any offer that is a written communication relating to the Shares made prior to the filing of the Original Registration Statement by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this paragraph only, of Rule 163(c)) has been filed with the Commission in accordance with the exemption provided by Rule 163 and otherwise complied with the requirements of Rule 163, including without limitation the legending requirement.

(2)Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (A) At the effectiveness of the Original Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Shares in reliance on the exemption provided by Rule 163, and (D) as of the execution of this Agreement, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer,” as defined in Rule 405.

(3)Eligibility. (A) At the effectiveness of the Original Registration Statement, (B) at the earliest time after the effectiveness of the Original Registration Statement that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Securities Act) of the Shares and (C) as of the execution of this Agreement (with such time of execution being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (C)), the Company was not and is not an

“ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405, without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an ineligible issuer.

(4)Independent Accountants. Deloitte & Touche LLP, who audited the consolidated financial statements and supporting schedules included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and will deliver the initial letter referred to in Section 7(r) hereof, is an independent public accounting firm as required by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”).

(5)Financial Statements. The financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, together with the related schedules and notes, present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their respective consolidated subsidiaries at the dates indicated and the results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their respective consolidated subsidiaries for the periods specified. Such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved and comply in all material respects with all applicable accounting requirements under the Securities Act. The supporting schedules included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus present fairly in all material respects in accordance with GAAP, the information required to be stated therein.

The Company or any Affiliate thereof will not acquire any Common Shares from, or enter into a long derivative position with respect to the Common Shares, with a third party during any Forward Hedge Selling Period or Unwind Period (as defined in the Master Forward Confirmation).

Section 6. Delivery to the Agents and the Forward Sellers; Settlement.

(a)Settlement of Issuance Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Issuance Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), settlement for sales of Shares in an Issuance will occur on the second Trading Day following the date on which such sales are made (each, a “Settlement Date”). The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Company on a Settlement Date against receipt of the Shares sold in an Issuance (the “Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate offering price received by the Current Agent at which such Shares were sold, after deduction for (i) the Current Agent’s Selling Commission, (ii) any other amounts due and payable by the Company to the Current Agent hereunder pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof, and (iii) any transaction fees imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales.

(b)Delivery of Issuance Shares. On or before each Settlement Date, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Shares being sold in an Issuance by crediting the Current Agent’s or its designee’s account (provided the Current Agent shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the 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 Company and the Current Agent which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form. On each Settlement Date, the Current Agent will deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated by the Company prior to the Settlement Date. The Company agrees that if the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), defaults in its obligation to deliver Issuance Shares on a Settlement Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 10(a) and Section 10(d) hereof, it will (i) hold the Current Agent harmless against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense whatsoever (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) and (ii) pay to the Current Agent any commission, discount, or other compensation to which it would otherwise have been entitled absent such default.

(c)Delivery of Forward Hedge Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Forward Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) or the Current Forward Purchaser and Current Forward Seller agree otherwise, settlement for sales of Forward Hedge Shares will occur on the second Trading Day following the date on which such sales are made (each, a “Forward Hedge Settlement Date”). Unless the Current Forward Purchaser and Current Forward Seller agree otherwise, on or before each Forward Hedge Settlement Date, the Current Forward Purchaser will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Forward Hedge Shares being sold by crediting the Current Forward Seller’s or its designee’s account (provided that the Current Forward Seller shall have given the Current Forward Purchaser written notice of such designee prior to the relevant Forward Hedge 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. Unless the Current Forward Purchaser and Current Forward Seller agree otherwise, on each Forward Hedge Settlement Date, the Current Forward Seller will deliver to the Current Forward Purchaser an amount equal to the “Forward Price” (as defined in the Master Forward Confirmation but with the Volume-Weighted Hedge Price being determined based

solely on the sales of the Forward Hedge Shares subject to the related Forward Hedge Settlement Date) for such Forward multiplied by the number of Forward Hedge Shares being sold in same day funds to an account designated by the Current Forward Purchaser prior to the relevant Forward Hedge Settlement Date, or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the Current Forward Seller and the Current Forward Purchaser. The amount of any discount, commission, or other compensation to be reflected in the Forward Price (as defined in the Master Forward Confirmation) in connection with a Forward shall not exceed the Forward Hedge Selling Commission.

(d)Denominations; Registration. The Company shall deliver the Shares through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company unless the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser shall otherwise instruct. If the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser instructs the Company that any Shares are to be issued in certificated form, certificates for such Shares shall be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Current Agent or the Current Forward Purchaser may request in writing at least one full business day before the Settlement Date. Any such certificates for the Shares will be made available for examination and packaging by such Agent in The City of New York not later than noon (New York time) on the business day prior to the Settlement Date.

(e)Limitations on Offering Size. Under no circumstances shall the Company deliver a Placement Notice if, after giving effect to the sale of the Shares to be sold pursuant to such Placement Notice, the aggregate offering price of Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement would exceed the lesser of (A) the Maximum Amount, a. the amount available for offer and sale under the Registration Statement, and b. the amount authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement by the Company and notified to the Agents and the Forward Sellers in writing. Under no circumstances shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement at a price lower than the minimum price authorized from time to time by the Board of Trustees of the Company, or any duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to the Agents and the Forward Sellers in writing.

(f)Limitation on Agents. The Company agrees that any offer to sell, any solicitation of an offer to buy or any sales of Shares under this Agreement shall only be effected by or through only one of the Agents or Forward Sellers at a time, but in no event more than one, and the Company shall in no event issue an Issuance Placement Notice and/or a Forward Placement Notice that could result in the relevant Agents or Forward Sellers selling Shares on the same day; provided, however, that (1) the foregoing limitation shall not apply to the (i) exercise of any option, warrant, right or any conversion privilege set forth in the instrument governing such security or (ii) sales under this Agreement solely to employees or security holders of the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Subsidiaries, or to a trustee or other person acquiring such securities for the accounts of such persons, and (2) such limitation shall not apply on any day during which no sales are made pursuant to this Agreement.

(g)Black-out Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company and the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers agree that the Company shall not request the Agents or the Forward Sellers to sell and the Agents and the Forward Sellers shall not be obligated to sell and the Forward Purchasers shall not be obligated to borrow, any Shares that would be sold (i) during any period in which the Company is in possession of material non-public information, (ii) during the 14 calendar days prior to the first

date (each, a “Start Date”) on which the Company shall issue an Earnings Announcement, or (iii) except as provided in Section 6(h) below, at any time from and including a Start Date through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K (a “Filing Time”) that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same fiscal period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement.

(h)Filings of Earnings 8-K. If the Company wishes to execute an Issuance or a Forward at any time during the period from and including a Start Date through and including the time that is 24 hours after the corresponding Filing Time, the Company shall first (i) prepare and deliver to the Agents and the Forward Sellers (with a copy to their counsel) a Current Report on Form 8-K that includes substantially the same financial and related information (together with management’s discussion and analysis thereof) that was included in such Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings projections and similar forward-looking data and officers’ quotations) (each, an “Earnings 8-K”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents and the Forward Sellers, and, prior to its filing, obtain the written consent of the Agents and the Forward Sellers to such filing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) provide the Agents and the Forward Sellers with the officers’ certificate, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letter specified in Section 7(o), (p), (q) and (r), respectively, hereof, (iii) afford the Agents and the Forward Sellers the opportunity to conduct a due diligence review in accordance with Section 7(m) hereof prior to filing such Earnings 8-K and (iv) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission, then the provision of clause (ii) of Section 6(g) shall not be applicable for the period from and after the time at which the foregoing conditions shall 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 Filing Time of the relevant Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act, as the case may be. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that (A) the delivery of any officers’ certificate, opinion or letter of counsel or accountants’ letter pursuant to this Section 6(h) shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, including, without limitation, the obligation to deliver officers’ certificates, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letter as provided in Section 7(o), (p), (q) and (r), respectively, hereof, and (B) this Section 6(h) shall in no way affect or limit the operation of clause (i) of Section 6(g) hereof, which shall have independent application.

Section 7. Covenants of the Company and the Operating Partnership.

Each of the Company and the Operating Partnership covenants with the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers as follows:

(a)Registration Statement Amendments. After the date of this Agreement and during any period in which a Prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered by the Agents or the Forward Sellers under the Securities Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), (i) the Company will notify the Agents and the Forward Sellers promptly of the time when any subsequent amendment to the Registration Statement, other than documents incorporated by reference, has been filed with the Commission and/or has become effective or any subsequent supplement to the Prospectus has been filed and

of any comment letter from the Commission or any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) the Company will prepare and file with the Commission, promptly upon the request of an Agent or a Forward Seller, any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that, in the Agent’s or the Forward Seller’s, as applicable, reasonable opinion, may be necessary or advisable in connection with the distribution of the Shares (provided, however, that the failure of an Agent or a Forward Seller to make such request shall not relieve the Company of any obligation or liability hereunder, or affect an Agent’s or a Forward Seller’s right to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement); (iii) the Company will not file any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, other than documents incorporated by reference, relating to the Shares or a security convertible into the Shares unless a copy thereof has been submitted to the Agents and the Forward Sellers within a reasonable period of time before the filing and the Agents and the Forward Sellers have not reasonably objected thereto (provided, however, that the failure of the Agents or the Forward Sellers to make such objection shall not relieve the Company of any obligation or liability hereunder, or affect the Agents’ or the Forward Sellers’ right to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement) and the Company will furnish to the Agents and the Forward Sellers at the time of filing thereof a copy of any document that upon filing is deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or Prospectus, except for those documents available via XXXXX; and (iv) the Company will cause each amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, other than documents incorporated by reference, to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8) under the Securities Act).

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

(c)Delivery of Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company will furnish to the Agents and the Forward Sellers and their counsel (at the expense of the Company) copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto), the Prospectus (including all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, that are filed with the Commission during any period in which a Prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 172) under the Securities Act (including all documents filed with the Commission during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), in each case as soon as

reasonably practicable and in such quantities and at such locations as the Agents and the Forward Sellers may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus) to the Agents and the Forward Sellers to the extent such document is available on XXXXX. The copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus furnished to the Agents and the Forward Sellers will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(d)Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. If at any time when a Prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with a pending sale of the Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 172), any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Agents, the Forward Sellers or for the Company, to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of such counsel, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Company will promptly notify the Agents and the Forward Sellers to suspend the offering of Shares during such period until the Company has prepared and filed with the Commission such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement or the Prospectus comply with such requirements, and the Company will furnish to the Agents and the Forward Sellers such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Agents and the Forward Sellers may reasonably request. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted, conflicts or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or included, includes or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Agents and the Forward Sellers to suspend the offering of Shares during such period and the Company will, subject to Section 7(a) hereof, promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

(e)Blue Sky and Other Qualifications. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts, in cooperation with the Agents and the Forward Sellers, to qualify the Shares for offering and sale, or to obtain an exemption for the Shares to be offered and sold, under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Agents and the Forward Sellers may designate and to maintain such qualifications and exemptions in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. In each jurisdiction in which the Shares have been so qualified or exempt, the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of

such jurisdiction to continue such qualification or exemption, as the case may be, in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Shares.

(f)Rule 158. The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the Exchange Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide to the Agents and the Forward Sellers the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(g)Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the Net Proceeds received by it from the sale of the Shares in the manner specified in the Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

(h)Listing. During any period in which the Prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered by the Agents or the Forward Sellers under the Securities Act with respect to a pending sale of the Shares (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shares to be listed on the NYSE.

(i)Filings with the NYSE. The Company will timely file with the NYSE all material documents and notices required by the NYSE of companies that have or will issue securities that are traded on the NYSE.

(j)Reporting Requirements. The Company, during any period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act.

(k)Notice of Other Sales. During the pendency of any Placement Notice, the Company will not, without (i) giving the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers at least two (2) business days’ prior written notice specifying the nature of the proposed sale and the date of such proposed sale and (ii) the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers suspending activity under this Agreement for such period of time as requested by the Company or as deemed appropriate by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers in light of the proposed sale, (A) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with Common Shares, (B) enter into any swap or other agreement or any transaction that transfers in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequence of ownership of the Common Shares, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with Common Shares, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (A) or (B) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (C) file any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any of the foregoing (other than a shelf registration statement under Rule 415, a registration statement on Form S-8 or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement). The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (v) the Common Shares to be offered and sold through the Agents and the Forward Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, (w) Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan or the

Company’s employee share purchase plan, as these plans may be amended or replaced from time to time and (x) Common Shares issued upon redemptions of units of the Operating Partnership, (y) equity incentive awards approved by the Board of Trustees of the Company or the compensation committee thereof or the issuance of Common Shares upon exercise thereof and (z) any Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares in connection with acquisitions of real property or real property companies.

(l)Change of Circumstances. The Company will, at any time during a fiscal quarter in which the Company intends to tender a Placement Notice, advise the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers promptly after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of any information or fact that would alter or affect in any material respect any opinion, certificate, letter or other document provided to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement.

(m)Due Diligence Cooperation. The Company will cooperate with any reasonable due diligence review conducted by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or their agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, providing information and making available documents and senior officers, during regular business hours and at the Company’s principal offices, as the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers may reasonably request.

(n)Disclosure of Sales. The Company will disclose in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and in its annual report on Form 10-K the number of Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement and the net proceeds received by the Company with respect to such sales of Shares pursuant to this Agreement, together with any other information that the Company reasonably believes is required to comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Each of the Company and the Operating Partnership agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, their agents, officers, directors, employees, affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the Securities Act) and each person, if any, who controls the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:

(i)against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or in any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) not constituting an “Issuer Free

Writing Prospectus,” or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii)against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement (including without limitation, by means of a consent to judgment) of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 10(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

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

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agent Information.

(b)Indemnification by the Agents. The Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers agree to indemnify, severally and not jointly, and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership, their trustees, each of their respective officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section 10, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agent Information.

(c)Actions against Parties; Notification. In case any action, investigation or proceeding (including any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body) shall be commenced involving any party or parties in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 10, such party or parties (the “indemnified party” or the “indemnified parties”) shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to the party or parties against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party” or the “indemnifying parties”) of such action, investigation or proceeding, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected as follows: counsel to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward

Purchasers and each person, if any, who controls the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall be selected by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers; and counsel to the Company, the Operating Partnership, their trustees, each of their respective officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers and each person, if any, who controls the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Company, the Operating Partnership, their trustees, each of their respective officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, in each case in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 10 or Section 11 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated in this Section 10, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 10(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

Section 11. Contribution.

If the indemnification provided for in Section 10 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and each

applicable Agent, each Forward Seller and if relevant, each applicable Forward Purchaser, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and of each Agent, each Forward Seller and each Forward Purchaser, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand and the applicable Agent and/or Forward Purchaser on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Operating Partnership (which shall be deemed to include the proceeds that would be received by the Company upon physical settlement of the Master Forward Confirmations assuming that the aggregate amount payable by the applicable Forward Purchaser under the Master Forward Confirmations is equal to the aggregate amount of the net proceeds realized upon the sale of the Shares) bear to the total commissions or discounts received by the applicable Agent and/or the aggregate net spread (net of any related hedging and other costs) received by the Forward Purchaser, on the other hand.

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

The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 11. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 11 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, each Agent, each Forward Seller and each Forward Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser with respect to the offering of the Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Further, in no event shall the liability of any indemnifying party under this Section 11 be greater

in amount than such person would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for in this Section 11 had been available under the circumstances.

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.

For purposes of this Section 11, each person, if any, who controls any Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser and each trustee of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

Section 12. Representations, Warranties, Indemnities and Agreements to Survive Delivery.

The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of the Subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or its affiliates or selling agents or any person controlling the Agent, or by or on behalf of the Company, the Operating Partnership, their officers, trustees, employees, agents or any person controlling the Company or the Operating Partnership and (ii) delivery of, and payment for, the Shares.

Section 13. Termination of Agreement.

(a)Termination; General.
