listed on Schedule I hereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

InPoint Commercial Real Estate Income, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), which is externally managed and advised by Inland InPoint Advisor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Advisor”), and InPoint REIT Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), propose, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, that the Company will issue and sell to the several Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters”) an aggregate of [•] shares of the Company’s [•]% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The aggregate of [•] shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be purchased from the Company are called the “Firm Shares.” In addition, the Company has granted to the Underwriters, upon the terms and conditions stated herein, an option to purchase up to an additional [•] shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Additional Shares”) to cover over allotments by the Underwriters, if any.

The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Shares.” Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Associates, Inc. is acting as the representative of the several Underwriters and in such capacity is referred to in this Agreement as the “Representative.”

The Company wishes to confirm as follows its agreement with you and the other several Underwriters, on whose behalves you are acting as the Representative, in connection with the several purchases of the Shares from the Company.

1. Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), a registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-258802), including a prospectus relating to the offering of the Shares. Such registration statement, as amended, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to General Instruction H and Item 29 of Form S-11 under the Securities Act at such time and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part

thereof or included therein by the Securities Act at the time when it becomes effective and as thereafter amended by any post-effective amendment, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Registration Statement.” The prospectus in the form included in the Registration Statement (including any documents incorporated therein by reference) or, if the prospectus included in the Registration Statement omits certain information in reliance upon Rule 430A under the Securities Act and such information is thereafter included in a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or as part of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement after the Registration Statement first becomes effective, the prospectus as so filed (including any documents incorporated therein by reference), is referred to in this Agreement as the “Prospectus.” If the Company files another registration statement with the Commission to register a portion of the Shares pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference to “Registration Statement” herein shall be deemed to include the registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-258802) and the Rule 462 Registration Statement, as each such registration statement may be amended pursuant to the Securities Act. The prospectus subject to completion in the form included in the Registration Statement at the time of the initial filing of such Registration Statement with the Commission (including any documents incorporated therein by reference) and as such prospectus is amended from time to time until the date of the Prospectus is referred to in this Agreement as the “Preliminary Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning ascribed to it in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” shall mean each free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Company or used or referred to by the Company in connection with the offering of the Shares. “Time of Sale” shall mean [•], New York, New York time, on [•], 2021. “Time of Sale Information” shall mean the Preliminary Prospectus, as of the Time of Sale, together with the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, each identified in Schedule II-1 hereto. All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Rule 462 Registration Statement, a Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information, or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, shall include any copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”). The copies of each Preliminary Prospectus, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, that have been delivered to the Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Shares (whether to meet the request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173(d) under the Securities Act or otherwise) were identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

2. Agreements to Sell and Purchase. Upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell an aggregate of [•] Firm Shares to the Underwriters. Upon the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor herein contained and subject to all the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company at a purchase price of $[•] per Share (the “Purchase Price per Share”) the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto.

The Company hereby also agrees to sell to the Underwriters, and, upon the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor herein contained and subject to all the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Underwriters shall have the right for 30 days from the date of the Prospectus to purchase from the Company up to the Additional Shares at the Purchase Price per Share, less an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and payable on the Firm Shares but not payable on the Additional Shares. The Additional Shares may be purchased solely for the purpose of covering over allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering of the Firm Shares. If any Additional Shares are to be purchased, each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase the number of Additional Shares (subject to such adjustments as you may determine to avoid fractional shares) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional Shares to be purchased by the Underwriter as the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto bears to the total number of Firm Shares. The option to purchase Additional Shares may be exercised at any time, and from time to time, within 30 days after the date of the Prospectus.

3. Terms of Public Offering. The Company has been advised by you that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Shares as soon after the Registration Statement and this Agreement have become effective as in your judgment is advisable and initially to offer the Shares upon the terms set forth in the Time of Sale Information. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and sell Shares to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter.

Not later than 12:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the second business day following the date the Shares are released by the Underwriters for sale to the public, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered copies of the Prospectus in such quantities and at such places as the Representative shall request.

The Company hereby acknowledges that circumstances under which the Representative may provide notice to postpone the Closing Date as originally scheduled include any determination by the Company or the Representative to recirculate to the public copies of an amended or supplemented Prospectus or a delay as contemplated by the provisions of Section 13 hereof.

Delivery to the Underwriters of and payment for any Additional Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters shall be made at the offices of Hunton Xxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, XX, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX, at 10:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on such date or dates (the “Additional Closing Date”) (which may be the same as the Closing Date, but shall in no event be earlier than the Closing Date nor earlier than two nor later than ten business days after the giving of the notice hereinafter referred to) as shall be specified in a written notice, from the

Representative on behalf of the Underwriters to the Company, of the Underwriters’ determination to purchase a number, specified in such notice, of Additional Shares. Such notice may be given at any time within 30 days after the date of the Prospectus and must set forth (i) the aggregate number of Additional Shares as to which the Underwriters are exercising the option and (ii) the names and denominations in which the Additional Shares are to be registered. The place of closing for the Additional Shares and the Additional Closing Date may be varied by agreement between the Representative and the Company.

Payment for the Shares sold by the Company hereunder shall be delivered by the Representative to the Company.

It is understood that the Representative has been authorized, for its own account and for the accounts of the several Underwriters, to accept delivery of and receipt for, and make payment of the Purchase Price per Share for the Firm Shares and the Additional Shares, if any, that the Underwriters have agreed to purchase. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Associates, Inc., individually and not as the representative of the Underwriters, may, but shall not be obligated to, make payment for any Shares to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds shall not have been received by the Representative by the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, for the account of such Underwriter, but any such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from any of its obligations under this Agreement.

5. Covenants and Agreements of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters as follows:

(a) The Company will advise you promptly and, if requested by you, will confirm such advice in writing (i) when the Registration Statement has become effective and the time and date of any filing of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus and the time and date that any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective, (ii) if Rule 430A under the Securities Act is employed, when the Prospectus has been timely filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, (iii) of the receipt of any comments of the Commission, or any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or for additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the suspension of qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purposes and (v) within the period of time referred to in Section 5(h) hereof, of any change in the condition (financial or otherwise), business, prospects, properties, assets, net worth or results of operations of the Company or any subsidiaries thereof, taken as a whole, or of any event that comes to the attention of the Company that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any additions thereto or changes therein in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under

which they were made) not misleading in any material respect, or of the necessity to amend or supplement the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) to comply with the Securities Act or any other law. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company will make every commercially reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time. The Company will provide the Underwriters with copies of the form of Prospectus, in such number as the Underwriters may reasonably request, and file with the Commission such Prospectus in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430A and in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)) and any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 433. As used in this Agreement, “subsidiaries” shall mean all of the wholly-owned and partially-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company.

(b) The Company will furnish to you upon request, without charge, a photocopy of the signed original of the Registration Statement as originally filed with the Commission and of each amendment thereto, including financial statements and all exhibits thereto, and will also furnish to you, without charge, such number of conformed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto as you may reasonably request.

(c) The Company will promptly file with the Commission any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that may, in the judgment of the Company or the Representative, be required by the Securities Act or requested by the Commission.

(d) The Company will furnish a copy of any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or to the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to you and counsel for Underwriters and will not file with the Commission or use any of such documents to which you or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably object.

(e) The Company will not make any offer relating to the Series A Preferred Stock that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus without the Representative’s prior consent.

(f) The Company will retain in accordance with the Securities Act all Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses not required to be filed pursuant to the Securities Act; and if at any time after the date hereof any events shall have occurred as a result of which any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the most recent Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, to notify the Representative and, upon their request, file such document and to prepare and furnish without charge to each Underwriter as many copies as they may from time to time reasonably request of an amended or supplemented Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that will correct such conflict, statement or omission or effect such compliance.

(g) Prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company has delivered or will deliver to the Representative, without charge, in such quantities as they have requested or may hereafter reasonably request, copies of each form of the Preliminary Prospectus.

(h) As soon as is practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and thereafter from time to time for such period as in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Underwriters a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales by any Underwriter or a dealer (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), and for so long a period as you may request for the distribution of Shares, the Company will deliver to each Underwriter and each dealer, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Information (and of any amendment or supplement thereto) as they may reasonably request. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Information (and of any amendment or supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the Shares are offered by the several Underwriters and by all dealers to whom Shares may be sold, both in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer. If at any time prior to the completion of the distribution of the Shares pursuant to the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement, any event shall occur that in the judgment of the Company or in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters is required to be set forth in the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) or should be set forth therein in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary to supplement or amend the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other law, the Company will forthwith prepare and, subject to Section 5(a) hereof, file with the Commission and use its best efforts to cause to become effective as promptly as possible an appropriate supplement or amendment thereto, and will furnish to each Underwriter who has previously requested Prospectuses, without charge, a reasonable number of copies thereof.

(j) The Company will make generally available to its security holders and the Representative as soon as practicable a consolidated earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158) covering a period of at least 12 months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the effective date of the Registration Statement and the Rule 462 Registration Statement, if any, and ending not later than 15 months thereafter, as soon as practicable after the end of such period, which consolidated earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(k) If this Agreement shall terminate or shall be terminated after execution pursuant to Section 11 or Section 14(ii) or (v), the Company agrees to reimburse you and the other Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including travel expenses and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters, but excluding wages and salaries paid by you) reasonably incurred by you in connection herewith.

(l) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares to be sold by it hereunder in accordance in all material respects with the statements under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus.

(m) For a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the 60^th day after the date of the Prospectus (the “Lock-Up Period”), the Company will not, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, 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, lend or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time during the Lock-Up Period) any shares of Series A Preferred Stock or any shares of preferred stock ranking on parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Series A Preferred Stock or shares of preferred stock ranking on parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) enter into any swap or other transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Series A Preferred Stock or such other parity or senior preferred stock; (iii) publicly file or cause to be publicly filed any registration statement with the Commission, including any amendments, with respect to the registration of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock or any shares of preferred stock ranking on parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Series A Preferred Stock or shares of preferred stock ranking on parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock; or (iv) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, in each case without the prior written consent of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Associates, Inc.

(n) Neither the Company nor any affiliate of the Company has taken, nor will the Company or any affiliate of the Company take, directly or indirectly, any action which is designed to or which has constituted or which would reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.

(o) The Company will comply with all provisions of any undertakings contained in the Registration Statement.

(q) The Company shall engage and maintain, at its expense, a transfer agent and, if necessary under the jurisdiction of its incorporation or the rules of the NYSE, a registrar (which, if permitted by applicable laws and rules may be the same entity as the transfer agent) for the Series A Preferred Stock.

(r) The Company will file within applicable deadlines, all material required to be filed by it with the Commission pursuant to Section 12(b), 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, subsequent to the date of the Prospectus and during the Prospectus Delivery Period, that is required in connection with the offering of the Shares.

(s) The Company will use its best efforts to continue to qualify for taxation as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) unless the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company to so qualify.

(t) The Company has not distributed and will not distribute, directly or indirectly (other than through the Underwriters), any “written communication” (as defined Rule 405 under the Securities Act) or other offering materials in connection with the offering or sale of the Shares, other than the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

(u) The Company will promptly notify the Representative if the Company ceases to be an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act (an “Emerging Growth Company”) at any time prior to the completion of the distribution of the Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act.

(v) The Company shall prepare a pricing term sheet reflecting the final terms of the Shares, in substantially the form attached hereto as Schedule II-2 and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative (the “Pricing Term Sheet”), and to file such Pricing Term Sheet as an “issuer free writing prospectus” pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act prior to the close of business on the business day following the date hereof; provided that the Company shall furnish the Representative with copies of any such Pricing Term Sheet a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing and will not use or file any such document to which the Representative or counsel to the Underwriters shall object.

(w) The Company shall authorize, execute, deliver and file Articles Supplementary to the Company’s charter setting forth the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Articles Supplementary”) with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland (the “SDAT”) prior to the Closing Date.

6. Covenants of the Advisor.

(a) The Advisor covenants with each Underwriter and with the Company that, during the period when a prospectus is required (or but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 under the Securities Act would be required) to be delivered under the Securities Act, it shall notify the Representative and the Company of the occurrence of any material events respecting the Advisor’s activities, affairs or condition, financial or otherwise, and the Advisor will forthwith supply such information to the Company as shall be necessary in the opinion of counsel to the Company and the Underwriters for the Company to prepare any necessary amendment or supplement to the Prospectus so that, as so amended or supplemented, the Prospectus will not 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 existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading.

(b) The Advisor will not at any time, directly or indirectly, take any action designed, or which might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, or which will constitute, stabilization or manipulation of the price of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Series A Preferred Stock.

(k) The Company has full right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder (including the issuance and sale of the Shares and the use of proceeds from the sale of the Shares as described in the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds” and any issuance of the shares of Class I Common Stock upon conversion of the Shares), and all action required to be taken for the due and proper authorization, execution and delivery by it of this Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly taken.

(yy) Nothing has come to the attention of the Company or the Operating Partnership that has caused the Company or the Operating Partnership to believe that the statistical and market-related data included in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus are not based on or derived from sources that are reliable and accurate in all material respects and, to the extent required, the Company has obtained the written consent to the use of such data from such sources.

(zz) No forward-looking statement (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than in good faith.

(aaa) Commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2017, the Company has been organized and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation of the Company as a REIT under the Code, and the present and proposed method of operation of the Company (as described in the Prospectus) will enable the Company to continue to so qualify.

(fff) From the time of the initial confidential submission of the Registration Statement with the Commission (or, if earlier, the first date on which the Company engaged, directly or through any person authorized to act on its behalf, in any Testing-the-Waters Communication) through the date of this Agreement, the Company has been and is an Emerging Growth Company. “Testing-the-Waters Communication” means any oral or written communication with potential investors undertaken in reliance on Section 5(d) of the Securities Act.

Any individual Written Testing-the-Waters Communication does not conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act, and when taken together with the Time of Sale Information as of the Time of Sale, did not, and as of the Closing Date and as of each Option Closing Date, as the case may be, 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.

(hhh) The Company has filed publicly on XXXXX, at least 48 hours prior to effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement, any confidentially submitted registration statements and any registration amendments relating to the offer and sale of the Shares.

(iii) Neither the issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares nor the application of the proceeds thereof by the Company as described in each of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus will violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board of Governors.

(jjj) There are (and prior to the Closing Date, will be) no debt securities or preferred stock issued or guaranteed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries that are rated by a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as such term is defined under Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act.

(kkk) The Company and its subsidiaries’ information technology assets and equipment, computers, systems, networks, hardware, software, websites, applications, and databases (collectively, “IT Systems”) are reasonably believed by the Company to be adequate in all material respects for, and operate and perform as required in connection with, the operation of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries as currently conducted and, to the Company’s knowledge, are free and clear of all material bugs, errors, defects, Trojan horses, time bombs, malware and other corruptants, except as would not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiaries, through the Advisor and vendors, have implemented and maintained commercially reasonable controls, policies, procedures, and safeguards to maintain and protect their material confidential information and the integrity, continuous operation, redundancy and security of all IT Systems and data (including all personal, personally identifiable, sensitive, confidential or regulated data (“Personal Data”)) used in connection with the business of the Company and its subsidiaries as currently conducted, and, to the knowledge of the Company, there have been no breaches, violations, outages or unauthorized uses of or accesses to same, except for those that have been remedied without material cost or liability or the duty to notify any other person, nor any incidents under internal review or investigations relating to the same, except for such failures as would not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiaries are presently in compliance with all applicable laws or statutes and all judgments, orders, rules and regulations of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, internal policies and contractual obligations relating to the privacy and security of IT Systems and Personal Data and to the protection of such IT Systems and Personal Data from unauthorized use, access, misappropriation or modification, except for such failures as would not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(lll) Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership has sold, issued or distributed any shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Units.

Any certificate signed by any officer or any authorized representative of the Company or the Operating Partnership and delivered to the Underwriters or to counsel for the Underwriters shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be, to the Underwriters as to the matters covered thereby as of the date or dates indicated on such certificate.

8. Representations and Warranties of the Advisor. The Advisor hereby represents and warrants to each Underwriter on the date hereof, and shall be deemed to represent and warrant to each Underwriter on the Closing Date and the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, that:

(a) The information regarding the Advisor, set forth under the headings “Prospectus Summary” and “Investment Policies, Policies with Respect to Certain Activities and Market Risk” in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (collectively, the “Advisor Disclosures”) is true and correct in all material respects.

(b) The Advisor has been duly formed and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the limited liability company power and authority to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Advisory Agreement; and the Advisor is duly qualified as a foreign limited liability company to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, except where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the condition, business, properties, assets, net worth, results of operations or prospects of the Advisor, taken as a whole (financial or otherwise) (an “Advisor Material Adverse Effect”).

(d) The Advisory Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Advisor and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Advisor in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding may be brought.

(e) The limited liability company interests of the Advisor are indirectly owned by Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation free and clear of any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, restriction on voting or transfer or any other claim of any third party.

(f) The Advisor is not (i) in violation of its organizational documents or (ii) in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any agreements to which it is bound, or which any of its property or assets is subject, except, in the case of (ii) above, for such defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in an Advisor Material Adverse Effect; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Advisory Agreement, as applicable, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein and in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and compliance by the Advisor with its obligations hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action and do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or an Advisor Debt Repayment Triggering Event under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Advisor pursuant to any agreement to which it is bound or to which any of its property or assets is subject (except for such conflicts, breaches, defaults or Debt Repayment Triggering Event or liens, charges or encumbrances that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in an Advisor Material Adverse Effect), nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the limited partnership

agreement or other organizational documents of the Advisor or any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Advisor or any of its assets, properties or operations. As used herein, an “Advisor Debt Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition that gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would give, the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Advisor.

(g) Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus, (i) there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Advisor, threatened, against or affecting the Advisor that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in an Advisor Material Adverse Effect, or that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the Advisory Agreement, as applicable, or the performance by the Advisor of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; and (ii) the aggregate of all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Advisor is a party or of which any of its property or assets is the subject, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in an Advisor Material Adverse Effect.

(h) Neither the Advisor nor any member, officer, or employee of the Advisor nor, to the knowledge of the Advisor, any agent or affiliate or other person acting on behalf of the Advisor has taken any action directly or indirectly that would result in a violation of the Anti-Corruption Laws. The Advisor, through its agents and vendors, has instituted, maintains and enforces, and will continue to maintain and enforce, policies and procedures designed to promote and ensure compliance with the Anti-Corruption Laws.

(i) The operations of the Advisor are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

(j) No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency is necessary or required for the performance by the Advisor of its obligations hereunder, in connection with the offering or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except such as have been already obtained or as may be required under the Securities Act or state securities laws or as are described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus.

(k) The Advisor has not been notified that any executive officer of the Company or the Advisor plans to terminate his, her or their employment with his, her or their current employer. Neither the Advisor nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any executive officer or key employee of the Company or the Advisor, is subject to any noncompete, nondisclosure, confidentiality, employment, consulting or similar agreement that would be violated by the present or proposed business activities of the Company or the Advisor as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, unless a waiver in writing has been obtained.

(l) The Advisor operates a system of internal controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (A) transactions that may be effectuated by it on behalf of the Company or the Operating Partnership pursuant to its duties set forth in the Advisory Agreement will be executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (B) access to the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization.

(m) The Advisor has, with respect to the Advisory Agreement, the financial and other resources available to it necessary for the performance of its services and obligations as contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and under this Agreement.

(n) The duties of the Advisor set forth in the Advisory Agreement and disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus are not prohibited by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or the rules and regulations thereunder.

(o) The Advisor has not taken, and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action that constituted, or any action designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in or constitute, under the Securities Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company or the Operating Partnership to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares or for any other purpose.

Any certificate signed by any officer or any authorized representative of the Advisor and delivered to the Underwriters or to counsel for the Underwriters shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Advisor to the Underwriters as to the matters covered thereby as of the date or dates indicated on such certificate.

9. Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated or this Agreement becomes effective or is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s and the Advisor’s counsel and accountants in connection with the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act and all other expenses in connection with the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement as originally filed and the Prospectus and amendments and supplements thereto and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof and of the Preliminary Prospectus to the Underwriters and dealers; (ii) the printing and delivery (including postage, air freight charges and charges for counting and packaging) of such copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, each Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information, the Blue Sky memoranda, this Agreement and all amendments or supplements to any of them as may be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares; (iii) consistent with the provisions of Section 5(i), all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Shares for offering and sale under federal and state securities laws or Blue Sky laws, including any filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Underwriters’ counsel relating thereto in an amount not to exceed $10,000 in the aggregate; (iv) the filing fees incident to securing any required review by FINRA of the fairness of the terms of the sale of the Shares (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Underwriters’ counsel relating thereto in an amount not to exceed $10,000 in the aggregate); (v) the fees and expenses associated with listing the Shares on the NYSE; (vi) the cost of preparing stock certificates, if any; (vii) the costs and charges of any transfer agent or

registrar; (viii) the cost of the tax stamps, if any, in connection with the issuance and delivery of the Shares to the respective Underwriters or their affiliates; (ix) all other fees, costs and expenses referred to in Item 14 of the Registration Statement; and (x) the transportation and lodging expenses of management of the Company in connection with the “roadshow” for the offering contemplated hereby. Except as provided in this Section 9 and in Section 10 hereof, the Underwriters shall pay their own expenses, including the fees and disbursements of their counsel. In addition, in the event that the proposed offering is terminated for the reasons set forth in Section 5(k) hereof, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters as provided in Section 5(k).

10. Indemnification and Contribution. Subject to the limitations in this paragraph below, the Company and the Operating Partnership jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Representative and each other Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each Underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation and attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively, “Damages”) arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, any road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. This indemnification shall be in addition to any liability that the Company or the Operating Partnership may otherwise have.

If any action or claim shall be brought against any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter in respect of which indemnity may be sought jointly or severally against the Company and the Operating Partnership, such Underwriter or such controlling person shall promptly notify in writing the party(s) against whom indemnification is being sought (the “indemnifying party” or “indemnifying parties”), and such indemnifying party or parties shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably acceptable to such Underwriter or such controlling person and the payment of all reasonable fees of and expenses incurred by such counsel. Such Underwriter or any such controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter or such controlling person, unless (i) the indemnifying party(s) has (have) agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party(s) has (have) failed to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Underwriter or such controlling person or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Underwriter or such controlling person and the indemnifying party(s), and such Underwriter or such controlling person shall have been advised by its counsel that one or more legal defenses may be available to the Underwriter that may not be available to the Company or the Operating Partnership, or that representation of such indemnified party and any indemnifying party(s) by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) due to actual or potential differing interests

between them (in which case the indemnifying party(s) shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Underwriter or such controlling person (but the Company and the Operating Partnership shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for the Underwriters and such controlling persons)). The indemnifying party(s) shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its (their several) written consent, but if settled with such written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party(s) agree(s) to indemnify and hold harmless any Underwriter and any such controlling person from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment, but in the case of a judgment only to the extent stated in the first paragraph of this Section 10.

Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership, their respective directors and their respective officers who sign the Registration Statement and any person 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, to the same extent as the foregoing several indemnity from the Company and the Operating Partnership to each Underwriter, but only with respect to information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Preliminary Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, which is specified in Section 15. If any action or claim shall be brought or asserted against the Company or the Operating Partnership, any of their respective directors, any of their respective officers or any such controlling person based on the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information or the Preliminary Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against any Underwriter pursuant to this paragraph, such Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Company and the Operating Partnership by the immediately preceding paragraph (except that if the Company and the Operating Partnership shall have assumed the defense thereof such Underwriter shall not be required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such Underwriter’s expense), and the Company and the Operating Partnership, their respective directors, their respective officers and any such controlling persons, shall have the rights and duties given to the Underwriters by the immediately preceding paragraph.

In any event, (i) the Company or the Operating Partnership will not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any proceeding or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which the indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Representative or any person who controls the Representative within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of all Underwriters and such controlling persons from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) the Underwriters will not, without the prior written consent of the Company or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any proceeding or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which the indemnification may be sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Company or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be, from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

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 by this Section 10, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by this Section 10 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.

If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable or insufficient for any reason whatsoever to an indemnified party in respect of any Damages referred to herein, then an indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Damages (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 and sale of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative and several 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 that resulted in such Damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative and several benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus; provided that, in the event that the Underwriters shall have purchased any Additional Shares hereunder, any determination of the relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership or the Underwriters from the offering of the Shares shall include the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, from the sale of such Additional Shares, in each case computed on the basis of the respective amounts set forth in in the table in the Underwriting section of the Prospectus. 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 the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand, or by 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 Company and the Operating Partnership and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 was determined by a 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 into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Damages referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include,

subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the underwriting commissions received by such underwriter in connection with the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public. 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 Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to the respective numbers of Firm Shares set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto (or such numbers of Firm Shares increased as set forth in Section 2 hereof) and not joint.

Any Damages for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 10 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as Damages are incurred after receipt of reasonably itemized invoices therefor. The indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 10 and the representations and warranties of the Company and the Operating Partnership set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter, the Company and the Operating Partnership and their respective directors, their respective officers or any person controlling the Company and the Operating Partnership, (ii) acceptance of any Shares and payment therefor hereunder and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter, or to the Company, the Operating Partnership, their respective directors, their respective officers or any person controlling the Company or the Operating Partnership, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 10.

11. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations. The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Firm Shares hereunder are subject to the following conditions:

(a) The Prospectus, including any supplement thereto, and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall have been timely filed with the Commission under the Securities Act (in the case of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Securities Act); and all requests by the Commission for additional information shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Representative.

(b) No event or condition of a type described in Section 14(ii) hereof shall have occurred or shall exist, which event or condition is not described in the Time of Sale Information (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto) and the Prospectus (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto) and the effect of which, in the judgment of the Representative, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or purchase of the Shares as contemplated hereby.

(c) You shall have received on the Closing Date (and the Additional Closing Date, if any) the opinion of (1) Xxxxxx & Bird LLP, counsel to the Company, substantially to the effect set forth in Schedule IV-1 hereto, (2) Xxxxxx & Bird LLP, tax counsel to the Company, substantially to the effect set forth in Schedule IV-2 hereto and (3) Xxxxxxx LLP, Maryland corporate counsel to the Company, substantially to the effect set forth in Schedule IV-3 hereto.

Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any such default of any such Underwriter under this Agreement.

14. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the Representative’s absolute discretion, without liability on the part of any Underwriter by notice to the Company, if prior to the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date (if different from the Closing Date and then only as to the Additional Shares), as the case may be, in the Representative’s sole judgment: (i) trading in securities generally on the NYSE, NYSE American LLC or the Nasdaq Global Market has been suspended, materially limited (including an automatic halt in trading pursuant to market-decline triggers other than those in which solely program trading is temporarily halted), or limitations on or minimum prices for trading (other than limitations on hours or numbers of days of trading) shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by such exchange or FINRA or Nasdaq or by order of the Commission or any court or any other governmental authority; (ii) there has been since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus (in each case exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement), any Material Adverse Effect, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the Representative’s sole judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by either federal or New York authorities or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other international or domestic calamity, crisis or change in political, financial or economic conditions or other material event the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in the Representative’s sole judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares; (v) there shall have occurred any downgrading, or any notice or announcement shall have been given or made of (a) any intended or potential downgrading or (b) any review or possible change that does not indicate an improvement, in the rating accorded any securities of or guaranteed by the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as that term is defined under Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, if applicable; (vi) any federal or state statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other governmental authority has been enacted, published, decreed or otherwise promulgated, which, in the Representative’s sole judgment, has or will have a Material Adverse Effect on the business or operations of the Company; or (vii) any action has been taken by any federal, state or local government or agency in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs which, in the Representative’s sole judgment, has or will have a Material Adverse Effect on the securities markets in the United States. Notice of such cancellation shall be promptly given to the Company and its counsel by email or telephone and shall be subsequently confirmed by letter.

15. Information Furnished by the Underwriters. Each of the Company and the Operating Partnership acknowledges that (i) the paragraph on the cover page regarding the delivery of the Shares, (ii) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Shares under the caption “Underwriting,” (iii) the first paragraph under the caption “Underwriting—Underwriting Discounts and Expenses,” and (iv) the second, third and fourth paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting—Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids” in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished by or on behalf of the Underwriters through the Representative or on their behalf as such information is referred to in Sections 7 and 10 hereof.

The Company and the Operating Partnership hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by the Underwriters’ independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company and the Operating Partnership by any Underwriter’s investment banking division. The Company and the Operating Partnership acknowledge that each of the Underwriters is a full-service securities firm and as such, from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that are the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

20. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

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