Ladies and Gentlemen:

Introductory. Xxxxxx Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule A (the “Underwriters”) an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of its 6.375% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series H Preferred Stock”). The terms of the Shares will be set forth in articles supplementary (the “Articles Supplementary”) to be filed by the Company with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (the “SDAT”). Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC and Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated have agreed to act as representatives of the several Underwriters (in such capacity, the “Representatives”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares.

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

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

The Company will contribute the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares to the Operating Partnership, and in exchange therefor, at the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2(b)), the Operating Partnership will issue to the Company Series H units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (the “Series H Units”) having terms with respect to distribution substantially equivalent to the dividend terms of the Shares. The terms of the Series H Units will be set forth in an amendment or an amendment and restatement (in either such case, the “Partnership Amendment”) to the Partnership Agreement (as defined below).

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

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

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

(a) The Company and the Operating Partnership have prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-172560 and 333-172560-01), and a related base prospectus dated March 1, 2011 (the “Base Prospectus”), to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of the Shares. Such registration statement, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, at each time of effectiveness under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), including any information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), is called the “Registration Statement.” Any preliminary prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus that describes the Shares and the offering thereof and is used prior to filing of the Prospectus (as defined below), including, but not limited to, the preliminary prospectus supplement contained in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus (as defined below), is called, together with the Base Prospectus, a “preliminary prospectus.” The term “Prospectus” shall mean the final prospectus supplement dated August 6, 2012 relating to the Shares (the “Prospectus Supplement”), together with the Base Prospectus, that are first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) after the time that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto (the “Execution Time”). The term “Pre-Pricing Prospectus” shall mean the preliminary prospectus supplement dated August 6, 2012 relating to the Shares (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), together with the Base Prospectus, filed pursuant to Rule 424(b). Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus (including, but not limited to, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus), the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act; any reference to any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus (including, without limitation, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus) or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after the date of such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, or, in the case of the Registration Statement, after the date of this Agreement, under the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in such preliminary

prospectus, the Prospectus or the Registration Statement, as the case may be, and shall also be deemed to refer to and include any annual report of the Company or the Operating Partnership filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the effective date of the Registration Statement that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. As used herein, the term “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act (“Rule 433”) relating to the offering of the Shares that (i) is required to be filed with the Commission by the Company, (ii) is a road show that is a written communication within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i), whether or not required to be filed with the Commission or (iii) is exempt from filing pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) because it contains a description of the Shares or of the offering that does not reflect the final terms, in each case in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form required to be retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g).

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

Each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus when filed complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules thereunder. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at each time of effectiveness (including, without limitation, each “new effective date” with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the Securities Act) and at the date hereof, complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as of its date, at the date hereof, at the time of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and at the Closing Date (as defined herein), did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The representations and warranties set forth in the two immediately preceding sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership in writing by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof. There is no contract or other document required to be described in the Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement that has not been described or filed as required.

(c) Documents Incorporated by Reference. The documents incorporated by reference in each of the Disclosure Package (as defined below) and the Prospectus, when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, complied in all material

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

(d) Disclosure Package. The term “Disclosure Package” shall mean (i) the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, (ii) the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses identified in Schedule C hereto, (iii) any other free writing prospectus that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package and (iv) the information included on Schedule D hereto, if any, including, but not limited to, information regarding the number of Shares being sold and the price at which the Shares will be sold to the public. As of 4:45 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date of this Agreement (the “Applicable Time”), neither (x) the Disclosure Package nor (y) any individual Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not part of the Disclosure Package, when considered together with the Disclosure Package, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not part of the Disclosure Package made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership in writing by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

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

(f) [Intentionally omitted.]

(g) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date did not and, unless superseded by a subsequent Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of the date of this Agreement, does not include any information that conflicted or conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement. If at any time following the date of this Agreement, there occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict. The first two sentences of this paragraph do not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter through the Representatives consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) as set forth in Section 8(b) of this Agreement. The Company and the Operating Partnership hereby acknowledge that the only information the Underwriters have furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership for the uses set forth in the preceding sentence are the statements set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 8(b). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company and the Operating Partnership may otherwise have.

Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership, the general partner of the Operating Partnership (the “General Partner”), each of the Company’s directors, each of the Company’s officers who signed the Registration Statement on behalf of the Company or the General Partner and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company, the Operating Partnership, the General Partner, any such director or officer or any such controlling person may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or arises out of or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, the Operating Partnership, the General Partner, any such director or officer or any such controlling person for any and all documented and reasonably incurred expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Company) as such expenses are incurred by the Company, the Operating Partnership, the General Partner, any such director or officer or any such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. The Company and the Operating Partnership hereby acknowledge that the only information that the Underwriters have furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth (a) in the first full paragraph under the subcaption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Commissions and Discounts” in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus concerning the public offering price, concession and reallowance, (b) under the subcaption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Price Stabilization and Short Positions” in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, but only insofar as concerns the Representatives and the Underwriters, and (c) under the subcaption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Electronic Distribution” in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, but only insofar as concerns the Representatives and the Underwriters. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party under this Agreement other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (other than local counsel), reasonably approved by the Company and the Operating Partnership, in the case of Section 8(a) or by the Representatives, in the case of Section 8(b), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be withheld unreasonably, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have provided the indemnifying party with the proposed terms of settlement and shall have requested an indemnifying party to

reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 8(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

SECTION 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for any reason unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties herein which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the front cover page of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Shares as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.

The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the untrue statements or omissions or alleged untrue statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Company and the Operating Partnership to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are joint and several. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 9, each affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, the General Partner and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be.

SECTION 10. Default of One or More of the Several Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the number of Shares set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate number of Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Shares are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party, except that the provisions of Section 4, Section 8 and Section 9 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 10. Any action taken under this Section 10 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

SECTION 11. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the payment for, and delivery to the Underwriters of, the Shares on the Closing Date this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to the Company if at any time (i) trading or quotation in any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the New York Stock Exchange; (ii) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such stock exchanges by the Commission or FINRA; (iii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by federal or New York authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States has occurred; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Representatives is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares in the manner and on the terms described in the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities. Except as provided in Section 6 hereof, any termination pursuant to this Section 11 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company or the Operating Partnership to any Underwriter or (b) any Underwriter to the Company or the Operating Partnership.

SECTION 12. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. The Company and the Operating Partnership acknowledge and agree, jointly and severally, that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Shares and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, and the Company and the Operating Partnership are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary of the Company, the Operating Partnership or their respective affiliates, stockholders, creditors, limited or general partners, or employees or any other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Operating Partnership with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Operating Partnership on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company or the Operating Partnership with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Operating Partnership and that the several Underwriters have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Underwriters have not provided any legal,

accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company and the Operating Partnership have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.

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

SECTION 13. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, of its officers, of the Operating Partnership, of its officers and of the General Partner and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement (i) will remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any (A) investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the officers or employees of any Underwriter, or any person controlling the Underwriter, the Company, the officers or employees of the Company, or any person controlling the Company, the Operating Partnership, the officers or employees of the Operating Partnership, any person controlling the Operating Partnership or the General Partner, as the case may be or (B) acceptance of the Shares and payment for them hereunder and (ii) will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 14. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed, hand delivered or telecopied and confirmed to the parties hereto or to the persons who signed such lock-up agreements, as the case may be, as follows:

PRICING TERM SHEET

6.375% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock

(Liquidation Preference $25.00 Per Share)

Issuer:

Xxxxxx Realty Corporation

Security:

6.375% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series H preferred stock”)

Size:

4,000,000 shares ($100,000,000)

No Overallotment Option:

We will not provide the underwriters with an option to purchase additional shares of Series H preferred stock to cover overallotments. Accordingly and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement referred to below, this offering will be limited to 4,000,000 shares of Series H preferred stock.

Price to Public:

$25.00 per share, plus accrued dividends from August 15, 2012 if settlement occurs after that date

Net Proceeds to the Company:

Approximately $96.25 million after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Use of Proceeds:

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to redeem all outstanding Series A preferred units (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement referred to below) of the operating partnership (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement referred to below) and any remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repaying borrowings under the operating partnership’s revolving credit facility. The aggregate redemption price for the operating partnership’s Series A preferred units is $75.0 million, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

Dividend Rate:

6.375% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share per annum (equivalent to $1.59375 per annum per share), accruing from August 15, 2012

Dividend Payment Dates:

15^th day of February, May, August and November, commencing November 15, 2012

Expected Settlement Date:

August 15, 2012 (T + 7)

Optional Redemption:

The Series H preferred stock is not redeemable by us prior to August 15, 2017, except under circumstances intended to preserve our status as a real estate investment trust for federal and/or state income tax purposes and except as described below under “Special Optional Redemption.” See “Description of

B-1

Series H Preferred Stock – Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer” in our preliminary prospectus supplement dated August 6, 2012 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”).

On and after August 15, 2017, we may, at our option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem shares of the Series H preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus, subject to exceptions described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under “Description Series H Preferred Stock – Redemption – Other,” any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If we elect to redeem any shares of Series H preferred stock as described in this paragraph, we may use any available cash to pay the redemption price, and we will not be required to pay the redemption price only out of the proceeds from the issuance of other classes and series of our stock or any other specific source.

Special Optional Redemption:

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), we may, at our option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem shares of Series H preferred stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus, subject to exceptions described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under “Description of Series H Preferred Stock – Redemption – Other,” any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to but excluding the date fixed for redemption. If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), we have provided or provide notice of our election to redeem some or all of the shares of Series H preferred stock (whether pursuant to our optional redemption right described above under “Optional Redemption” or this special optional redemption right), the holders of Series H preferred stock will not have the Change of Control Conversion Right (as defined below) described below under “Conversion Rights” with respect to the shares called for redemption. If we elect to redeem any shares of the Series H preferred stock as described in this paragraph, we may use any available cash to pay the redemption price, and we will not be required to pay the redemption price only out of the proceeds from the issuance of other classes and series of our stock or any other specific source.

Conversion Rights:

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of Series H preferred stock will have the right (unless, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, we have provided or provide notice of our election to redeem some or all of the shares of Series H preferred stock held by such holder as described above under “Optional Redemption” or “Special Optional Redemption,” in which case such holder will have the right only with respect to shares of Series H preferred stock that are not called for redemption) to convert some or all of the Series H preferred stock held by such holder (referred to as the “Change of Control Conversion Right”) on the Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of shares of our common stock per share of Series H preferred stock (referred to as the “Common Stock Conversion Consideration”) equal to the lesser of:

•

the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of Series H preferred stock plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to but excluding the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a record date for a Series H preferred stock dividend payment and prior to the corresponding dividend payment date for the Series H preferred stock, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid dividends will be included in this sum) by (ii) the Common Stock Price (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement); and

B-2

•

1.0469 (referred to as the “Share Cap”),

subject, in each case, to provisions for the receipt of Alternative Conversion Consideration (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) under specified circumstances as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.

Anything in the Articles Supplementary (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) to the contrary notwithstanding and except as otherwise required by law, the persons who are the holders of record of shares of Series H preferred stock at the close of business on a record date for the payment of dividends will be entitled to receive the dividend payable on the corresponding dividend payment date notwithstanding the conversion of those shares after such record date and on or prior to such dividend payment date and, in such case, the full amount of such dividend shall be paid on such dividend payment date to the persons who were the holders of record at the close of business on such record date.

The Share Cap is subject to pro rata adjustments for any share splits (including those effected pursuant to a distribution of our common stock), subdivisions or combinations (in each case referred to as a “Share Split”) with respect to our common stock as follows: the adjusted Share Cap as the result of a Share Split will be the number of shares of our common stock that is equivalent to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Share Cap in effect immediately prior to such Share Split by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Share Split and the denominator of which is the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to such Share Split.

For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock (or equivalent Alternative Conversion Consideration, as applicable) issuable or deliverable, as applicable, in connection with the exercise of the Change of Control Conversion Right will not exceed 4,187,600 shares of common stock (or equivalent Alternative Conversion Consideration, as applicable) (referred to as the “Exchange Cap”). The Exchange Cap is subject to pro rata adjustments for any Share Splits on the same basis as the corresponding adjustment to the Share Cap, and shall be increased on a pro rata basis with respect to any additional shares of Series H preferred stock designated and authorized for issuance pursuant to any subsequent articles supplementary.

If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, we have provided or provide notice of our election to redeem some or all of the shares of Series H preferred stock, as described above under “Optional Redemption” or “Special Optional Redemption,” holders of Series H preferred stock will not have the right to convert the shares of Series H preferred stock called for redemption and any shares of Series H preferred stock called for redemption that have been tendered for conversion will be redeemed on the applicable redemption date instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date.

For definitions, additional terms and provisions (including a description of certain adjustments and provisions for the receipt of Alternative Conversion Consideration that may be applicable to the conversion of Series H preferred stock in the event of a Change of Control) and other important information relating to the foregoing, you should review the information appearing in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under “Description of Series H Preferred Stock— Conversion Rights.”

B-3


Supplemental Risk Factor Associated with the Change of Control Feature of the Series H preferred stock:		The Change of Control conversion feature may not adequately compensate you and may make it more difficult for a party to take over the Company or discourage a party from taking over the Company.
		Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of the Series H preferred stock will have the right (unless, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, we have provided or provide notice of our election to redeem some or all of the shares of Series H preferred stock held by such holder as described above under “Optional Redemption” or “Special Optional Redemption,” in which case such holder will have the right only with respect to shares of Series H preferred stock that are not called for redemption) to convert some or all of their Series H preferred stock into shares of our common stock (or under specified circumstances certain alternative consideration). See “Conversion Rights.” Upon such a conversion, the holders will be limited to a maximum number of shares of our common stock (or, if applicable, specified alternative consideration) equal to the Share Cap multiplied by the number of shares of Series H preferred stock converted. If the Common Stock Price (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) is less than $23.88 (which is 50% of the per share closing sale price of our common stock reported on the New York Stock Exchange on August 3, 2012), subject to possible adjustment, the holders will receive a maximum of 1.0469 shares of our common stock per share of Series H preferred stock, which may result in a holder receiving shares of common stock (or alternative consideration, as applicable) with a value that is less than the liquidation preference of the Series H preferred stock plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. In addition, the Change of Control conversion feature of the Series H preferred stock may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for the Company or of delaying, deferring or preventing certain Change of Control transactions of the Company under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of our common stock and Series H preferred stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-current market price or that stockholders may otherwise believe is in their best interests.
