All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Pricing Disclosure Package, or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents included therein or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, and shall include any copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”). The Company meets the requirements for the use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and the Registration Statement meets the requirements of, and complies in all material respects with, Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act.

At the time of filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on each Delivery Date, the Prospectus complied and will comply as to form, in all material respects, to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations, and did not and will not, as of its date or as of any Delivery Date, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made. The Pricing Disclosure Package does not, and will not, as of any Applicable Time, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, 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 Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Pricing Disclosure Package based upon written information furnished to the Company by the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in Section 6(b) hereof.

(c) Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conformed or will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations on the date of first use, and the Company has complied with all prospectus delivery and any filing requirements applicable to such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of

the public offer and sale of the Stock or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein and any other prospectus supplement deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified.

The Company has retained in accordance with the Securities Act all Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses that were not required to be filed pursuant to the Securities Act. The Company has taken all actions necessary so that any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) in connection with the offering of the Stock will not be required to be filed pursuant to the Securities Act.

(d) (A) At the respective times the Registration Statement or any amendments thereto were filed with the Commission, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment to the Registration Statement for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (C) at any time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Stock in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 and (D) at the date hereof, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405, including not having been and not being an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 (without taking into account any determination made by the Commission pursuant to paragraph (2) of the definition of such term in Rule 405). The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405 and the Stock, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on such an “automatic shelf registration statement.” The Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form. Any written communication that was an offer relating to the Stock made by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this sentence only, of Rule 163(c)) prior to the filing of the Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 163 and otherwise complied with the requirements of Rule 163, including without limitation the legending requirement, to qualify such offer for the exemption from Section 5(c) of the Securities Act provided by Rule 163.

(e) The Prospectus shall incorporate by reference the most recent Annual Report of the Company and the Operating Partnership on Form 10-K filed with the Commission, each Quarterly Report of the Company and the Operating Partnership on Form 10-Q and each Current Report of the Company and the Operating Partnership on Form 8-K filed with the Commission since the filing of the Annual Report. The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Pricing Disclosure Package, at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Regulations and, when read together with the other information in the Prospectus and the Pricing Disclosure Package, at the time the Registration Statement became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, did not and shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(f) The Registration Statement is not the subject of a pending proceeding or examination under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act, and the Operating Partnership is not the subject of a pending proceeding under Section 8A of the Securities Act in connection with the offering of the Stock.

Upon the delivery of a Forward Placement Notice to the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser’s and the Forward Seller’s acceptance of such Forward Placement Notice by e-mail confirming the terms of such Forward Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Forward Hedge Shares described therein has been suspended or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Master Forward Confirmation, the Forward Purchaser will use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow Forward Hedge Shares up to the amount specified and the Forward Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Forward Hedge Shares, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Forward Placement Notice.

(iv) No later than the opening of the Trading Day next following the last Trading Day of each Forward Hedge Selling Period (or, if earlier, the date on which any Forward Hedge Selling Period is terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Master Forward

Confirmation), the Forward Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the Company, and the Company shall execute and return to the Forward Purchaser, a “Supplemental Confirmation” in respect of the Forward for such Forward Hedge Selling Period, which “Supplemental Confirmation” shall set forth the “Trade Date” for such Forward (which shall, subject to the terms of the Master Forward Confirmation, be the last Trading Day of such Forward Hedge Selling Period), the “Effective Date” for such Forward (which shall, subject to the terms of the Master Forward Confirmation, be the date one Settlement Cycle (as such term is defined in the Master Forward Confirmation) immediately following the last Trading Day of such Forward Hedge Selling Period), the initial “Base Amount” for such Forward (which shall be the Actual Sold Forward Amount for such Forward Hedge Selling Period), the “Maturity Date” for such Forward (which shall, subject to the terms of the applicable Master Forward Confirmation, be the date that follows the last Trading Day of such Forward Hedge Selling Period by the number of months or years set forth opposite the caption “Term” in the Forward Placement Notice for such Forward, which number of days or months shall in no event be less than 3 months nor more than 2 years), the “Forward Price Reduction Dates” for such Forward (which shall be each of the dates set forth below the caption “Forward Price Reduction Dates” in the Forward Placement Notice for such Forward), the “Forward Price Reduction Amounts” corresponding to such Forward Price Reduction Dates (which shall be each amount set forth opposite each “Forward Price Reduction Date” and below the caption “Forward Price Reduction Amounts” in the Forward Placement Notice for such Forward), the “Spread” for such Forward (which shall be the amount set forth opposite the term “Spread” in the Forward Placement Notice), the “Initial Forward Price” for such Forward (which shall be determined as provided in the Master Forward Confirmation), the “Volume-Weighted Hedge Price,” the “Specified Borrow Rate,” the “Maximum Specified Borrow Rate” and the “Forward Shares.”

(v) The Company shall be obligated to enter into a Forward Contract (in the case of a Forward) with the Forward Purchaser, and the Forward Purchaser shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow, and the Forward Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell, the Forward Hedge Shares pursuant to such Forward only if and when the Company delivers a Forward Placement Notice to the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller have accepted such Forward Placement Notice as provided in Section 2(b)(ii). The Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to amend at any time and from time to time any Forward Placement Notice, and if accepted by the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller, each of the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, modify its offers to sell or borrow, as applicable, consistent with any such amendment notice; provided, however, that (i) the Company may not amend the Forward Hedge Amount if such amended Forward Hedge Amount is less than the Actual Sold Forward Amount as of the date of such amendment and (ii) the Company shall not have the right to amend a Forward Placement Notice after the related “Supplemental Confirmation” has been delivered to the Company.

(vi) Each of the Company, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller acknowledges and agrees that: (x) there can be no assurance that the Forward Purchaser will be successful in borrowing or that the Forward Seller will be successful in selling Forward Hedge Shares; (y) a Forward Seller will incur no liability or obligation to the Company, the Forward Purchaser or any other person if it does not sell Forward Hedge Shares borrowed by the Forward Purchaser for any reason other than a failure by the Forward Seller to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Forward Hedge Shares as required under this Section 2(b); and (z) the Forward Purchaser will incur no liability or obligation to the Company, the Forward Seller or any other person if it does not borrow Forward Hedge Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Forward Purchaser to use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow such Forward Hedge Shares as required under this Section 2. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Forward Purchaser’s obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow or cause its affiliate to borrow all or any portion of the Forward Hedge Shares (and the Forward Seller’s obligation to use its commercially

reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such portion of the Forward Hedge Shares) for any Forward hereunder shall be subject in all respects to clause (vi) of the provisions under the caption “Conditions to Effectiveness” in Section 3 of the Master Forward Confirmation. In acting hereunder, the Forward Seller will be acting as agent for the Forward Purchaser and not as principal.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not authorize the issuance and sale of, and the Agent shall not be obligated to use its reasonable efforts to sell, any Issuance Shares or the Forward Seller shall not be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell any Forward Hedge Shares (i) at a price lower than the minimum price therefor authorized from time to time, or (ii) in a number in excess of (A) together with all sales of Issuance Shares and Forward Hedge Shares under this Agreement and each of the Alternative Sales Agreements, the Maximum Amount and (B) the number of Issuance Shares or Forward Hedge Shares, as the case may be, authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement, in each case of clause (i) and (ii), by the Company’s Board of Trustees, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to the Agent or the Forward Seller in writing. In addition, the Company, on the one hand, or the Agent or the Forward Seller, as the case may be, on the other hand, may, upon notice to the other party hereto by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged (including, without limitation, by telecopy or e-mail) by the Agent or the Forward Seller, as the case may be, suspend the offering of the Issuance Shares or Forward Hedge Shares, as the case may be, for any reason and at any time; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Issuance Shares or Forward Hedge Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice.

(d) Under no circumstances shall the aggregate offering price or number, as the case may be, of Issuance Shares and Forward Hedge Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement exceed the aggregate offering price or number, as the case may be, of Common Shares (i) set forth in the preamble paragraph of this Agreement, (ii) available for issuance under the Prospectus and the then currently effective Registration Statement, or (iii) authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement by the Company’s Board of Trustees, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to the Agent in writing. In addition, under no circumstances shall any Issuance Shares or Forward Hedge Shares be sold at a price lower than the minimum price therefor authorized from time to time by the Company’s Board of Trustees, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to the Agent in writing. Further, under no circumstances shall the aggregate offering price of the Issuance Shares and Forward Hedge Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement and the Alternative Sales Agreements, including any separate underwriting or similar agreement covering principal transactions described in the first paragraph of this Agreement and the Alternative Sales Agreements, exceed the Maximum Amount.

(e) The Company agrees that any offer to sell, any solicitation of an offer to buy or any sales of the Issuance Shares or Forward Hedge Shares, as the case may be, shall only be effected by or through only one of the Agent, the Forward Purchaser, the Forward Seller or an Alternative Agent on any single given day. The Company shall in no event request that more than one of the Agent, the Forward Purchaser, the Forward Seller and one or all of the Alternative Agents sell Issuance Shares or Forward Hedge Shares on the same day.

(f) If either party has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act (applicable to securities with an average daily trading volume of $1,000,000 that are issued by an issuer whose common equity securities have a public float value of at least $150,000,000) are not satisfied with respect to the Company, the Issuance Shares or the Forward Hedge Shares, it shall promptly notify the other party and sales of Issuance Shares and Forward Hedge Shares under this Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party.

(g) The gross sales price of any Issuance Shares under this Agreement shall be the market price for the Common Shares sold by the Agent under this Agreement on the NYSE at the time of such sale. The compensation payable to the Agent for sales of Issuance Shares shall be equal to up to 2.0% of the gross sales price of the Issuance Shares, and the exact amount shall be specified when the Company provides sale instructions to the Agent pursuant to Section 2. The remaining proceeds, after further deduction for any transaction fees, transfer taxes or other similar fees, taxes or charges imposed by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company for such Issuance Shares (the “Net Proceeds”). The Agent shall notify the Company as promptly as practicable if any deduction referenced in the preceding sentence will be required. The amount of any commission, discount or other compensation to be paid by the Company to the Agent, when the Agent is acting as principal, in connection with the sale of Issuance Shares shall be as separately agreed among the parties hereto at the time of any such sales.

(h) The Agent or the Forward Seller, as the case may be, shall provide written confirmation to the Company following the close of trading on the NYSE each day on which Issuance Shares or Forward Hedge Shares are sold under this Agreement setting forth the number of Issuance Shares or the Actual Sold Forward Amount, as the case may be, sold on such day, the gross sales prices of the Issuance Shares or the Forward Hedge Shares, and in the case of Issuance Shares, the Net Proceeds to the Company and the compensation payable by the Company to the Agent with respect to such sales of Issuance Shares.

(i) (x) Settlement for sales of Issuance Shares will occur on the second business day that is also a Trading Day following the trade date on which such sales are made, unless another date shall be agreed to by the Company and the Agent (each such day, a “Issuance Shares Delivery Date”). On each Issuance Shares Delivery Date, the Issuance Shares sold through the Agent for settlement on such date shall be delivered by the Company to the Agent against payment of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Issuance Shares. Settlement for all Issuance Shares shall be effected by book-entry delivery of Issuance Shares to the Agent’s account at The Depository Trust Company against payment by the Agent of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Issuance Shares in same day funds delivered to an account designated by the Company. In the event that the Agent delivers the gross proceeds to the Company at a Issuance Shares Delivery Date, without any deduction referenced in the second and third sentences of Section 2(g), the amounts set forth in the second and third sentences of Section 2(g) shall be set forth and invoiced in a periodic statement from the Agent to the Company and payment of such amounts shall be made promptly by the Company after its receipt thereof. (y) Each sale of Forward Hedge Shares will be settled as between the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller on the applicable Forward Hedge Settlement Date following the relevant Forward Date. On or before each Forward Hedge Settlement Date, the Forward Purchaser will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Forward Hedge Shares being sold by crediting the Forward Seller or its designee’s account at the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian System, or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller and, upon receipt of such Forward Hedge Shares, which in all cases shall be freely tradeable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form, the Forward Seller shall deliver the related portion of the Forward Hedge Price in same day funds delivered to an account designated by the Forward Purchaser prior to the relevant Forward Hedge Settlement Date. (z) If the Company shall default on its obligation to deliver Issuance Shares on any Issuance Shares Delivery Date, the Company shall (i) indemnify and hold the Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company, and (ii) pay the Agent any commission to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default. If the Agent breaches this Agreement by failing to deliver the applicable Net Proceeds on any Issuance Shares Delivery Date, the Agent will pay the Company interest based on the effective overnight federal funds rate until such proceeds, together with such interest, have been fully paid.

(j) Except as may be mutually agreed upon by the Company, the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller in writing, sales pursuant to this Agreement may not be requested by the Company (and, by notice to the Agent given by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email), shall cancel any instructions for any sale of any Issuance Shares or Forward Hedge Shares prior to the commencement of the period referenced below) and need not be made by the Agent, except as provided in Section 2(k), during the period that begins on the 10th business day prior to the date (each, an “Announcement Date”) on which the Company issues a press release containing, or otherwise publicly announces, its earnings, revenues or other results of operations (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the Company Periodic Report Date (as defined at Section 3(a)(xiii)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of each of the Company, the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller, no sales of Issuance Shares or Forward Hedge Shares shall take place, and the Company shall not request the sale of any Issuance Shares or Forward Hedge Shares that would be sold, and the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller shall not be obligated to sell, during any period in which the Company is or could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information.

(k) If the Company wishes to offer, sell or deliver Issuance Shares at any time during the period from and including an Announcement Date through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company and the Operating Partnership file (a “Filing Time”) a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement, the Company shall (i) prepare and deliver to the Agent (with a copy to its counsel) a Current Report on Form 8-K which shall include substantially the same financial and related information as was set forth in the relevant Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings projections, similar forward-looking data and officers’ quotations) (each, an “Earnings 8-K”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller, and obtain the consent of the Agent to the filing thereof (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (ii) provide the Agent with the officers’ certificates, opinions/letters of counsel and accountants’ letter called for by Sections 5(d), (e), (f), (g) and (h)(b), respectively, (iii) afford the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller the opportunity to conduct a due diligence review in accordance with Section 3(xii) and (iv) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission, then the provisions of Section 2(j) shall not be applicable for the period from and after the time at which the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied (or, if later, the time that is 24 hours after the time that the relevant Earnings Announcement was first publicly released) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the Filing Time of the relevant Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act, as the case may be. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that (A) the delivery of any officers’ certificates, opinions/letters of counsel and accountants’ letter pursuant to this Section 2(k) shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, including, without limitation, the obligation to deliver officers’ certificates, opinions/letters of counsel and accountants’ letters as provided in Section 5, and (B) this Section 2(k) shall in no way affect or limit the operation of the provisions of clause (x) and the last sentence of Section 2(j), which shall have independent application.

the time when any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been filed and, if not publicly available, to furnish the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller with copies thereof; to file all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of this Agreement within the time periods required by the Exchange Act; to advise the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, of the suspension of the qualification of the Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding or examination for any such purpose, of any notice from the Commission objecting to the use of the form of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including, without limitation, any document incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing) or for additional information; and, in the event of the issuance of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or suspending any such qualification, to use its best efforts to obtain as soon as possible its withdrawal.

(ii) During any period when the delivery of a prospectus is required in connection with the offering or sale of Stock, and if at such time any events shall have occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary 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 the Prospectus (including, without limitation, any document incorporated by reference therein) in order to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to promptly notify the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller and to promptly file such document and to prepare and furnish without charge to the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller and to any dealer in securities as many copies as the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller may from time to time reasonably request of an amended or supplemented Prospectus (or incorporated document, as the case may be) that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

(iii) To file promptly with the Commission any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that may, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller be required by the Securities Act or requested by the Commission.

(iv) (A) To furnish, without charge, to the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller copies of the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement, and, so long as a prospectus relating to the Stock is (or but for the exemption in Rule 172 of the Securities Act would be) required to be delivered under the Securities Act in connection with sales through the Agent or dealer or the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller, the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto (in each case including exhibits thereto), in each case in such quantities as the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller requests. All other documents shall be so furnished as soon as available. The Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the

(x) To arrange for the registration or qualification of the shares of Stock for offering and sale under the applicable state securities or blue sky laws and real estate syndication laws of such jurisdictions as the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller designates and will continue such registration or qualifications in effect for as long as may be necessary to complete the distribution of the shares of Stock and to file such consents to service of process or other documents as may be necessary in order to effect such registration or qualification; provided, however, that in connection therewith the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

(xi) At each Applicable Time, each Delivery Date, each Registration Statement Amendment Date (as defined below), each Company Periodic Report Date (as defined below) and each Request Date (as defined below), the Company and the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to have affirmed each representation, warranty, covenant and other agreement contained in this Agreement.

(xii) The Company and the Operating Partnership will cooperate timely with any reasonable due diligence review conducted by the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller or their respective counsel from time to time in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, and upon reasonable notice providing information and making available documents and appropriate corporate officers, during regular business hours and at the Company’s principal offices, as the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller may reasonably request.

(xiii) Upon commencement of the offering of Stock under this Agreement and promptly after each (A) (x) date the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented (other than (1) by an amendment or supplement providing solely for the determination of the terms of the Stock, or (2) by a prospectus supplement relating to the offering of other securities (including, without limitation, other Common Shares)), and (y) date there is filed with the Commission any document incorporated by reference into the Prospectus (other than a Current Report on Form 8-K, unless the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller shall reasonably request) (each such date referred to in clause (x) and (y), a “Registration Statement Amendment Date”), (B) date on which the Company shall file an Annual Report on form 10-K or Quarterly Report on form 10-Q, including any date on which an amendment to any such document is filed (each such date, a “Company Periodic Report Date”), and (C) reasonable request by the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller (each date of any such request by the Agent, a “Request Date”), the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller a certificate dated the date of effectiveness of such amendment or the date of filing with the Commission of such supplement or other document, as the case may be, in a form reasonably satisfactory to

the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller to the effect that the statements contained in the certificate referred to in Section 5(h) of this Agreement which were last furnished to the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller are true and correct at the time of such amendment, supplement or filing, as the case may be, as though made at and as of such time (except that such statements shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Pricing Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented to such time) or, in lieu of such certificate, a certificate of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in Section 5(h), but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Pricing Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented, or to the documents incorporated by reference into the Prospectus, to the time of delivery of such certificate. As used in this paragraph, to the extent there shall be an Applicable Time on or following the date referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) above, promptly shall be deemed to be on or prior to the next succeeding Applicable Time. The requirement to provide a certificate under this Section 3(a)(xiii) shall be waived for any Request Date occurring at a time at which no sales instructions are pending, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Company provides sale instructions to the Agent, or a Forward Placement Notice to the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller pursuant to Section 2(b) herein and the next occurring date referred to in clause (A) or (B) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Stock following a Request Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not provide Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller with a certificate under this Section 3(a)(xiii), then before the Company provides sale instructions to the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller or the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller sells any Stock, the Company shall provide Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller with a certificate, in the form required under this Section 3(a)(xiii), dated the date of the sale instructions.

(xiv) Upon commencement of the offering of Stock under this Agreement, and promptly after each (A) Registration Statement Amendment Date, (B) Company Periodic Report Date, and (C) Request Date, the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller and their respective counsel the written opinion and letter of each counsel to the Company, dated the date of effectiveness of such amendment or the date of filing with the Commission of such supplement or other document, as the case may be, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller and their respective counsel, of the same tenor as the opinions and letters referred to in Section 5(d) and (e) of this Agreement, but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Pricing Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented, or to the documents incorporated by reference into the Prospectus, to the time of delivery of such opinion and letter or, in lieu of such opinion and letter, counsel last furnishing such letter to the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller shall furnish the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller with a letter substantially to the effect that the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller may rely on such last opinion and letter to the same extent as though each were dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last letter shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Pricing Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance). As used in this paragraph, to the extent there shall be an Applicable Time on or following the date referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) above, promptly shall be deemed to be on or prior to the next succeeding Applicable Time. The requirement to provide opinions and letters

under this Section 3(a)(xiv) shall be waived for any Request Date occurring at a time at which no sales instructions are pending, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Company provides sale instructions to the Agent or a Forward Placement Notice to the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller pursuant to Section 2(b) herein and the next occurring date referred to in clause (A) or (B) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Stock following a Request Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not provide Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller with opinions and letters under this Section 3(a)(xiv), then before the Company provides sale instructions to the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller or the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller sells any Stock, the Company shall provide Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller with opinions and letters, in the form required under this Section 3(a)(xiv), dated the date of the sale instructions.

As used in this paragraph, to the extent there shall be an Applicable Time on or following the date referred to in clause (A) or (B) above, promptly shall be deemed to be on or prior to the next succeeding Applicable Time.

(xvi) The Company consents to the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller trading in the Common Shares for the Agent’s, the Forward Purchaser’s and the Forward Seller’s own accounts, respectively, and for the accounts of their clients at the same time as sales of Stock occur pursuant to this Agreement.

6. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company and the Operating Partnership will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller, each of their respective affiliates, partners, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or any other prospectus relating to the Stock, or any amendment or supplement thereto (including the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 434 under the Securities Act, if applicable), or arise out of or are 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, and will reimburse the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented or any other prospectus relating to the Stock or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller for use therein.

(b) The Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its trustees and officers and each person, if any who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or any other prospectus relating to the Stock, or any amendment or supplement thereto (including the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 434 under the Securities Act, if applicable), or arise out of or are 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, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or any other prospectus relating to the Stock or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as to which the Company shall be entitled to indemnification under this subsection (b) as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller consists of the following information in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Pricing Disclosure Package furnished by the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller: the legal name of the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller in the Prospectus Supplement dated the date hereof.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above, except to the extent such omission so to notify the indemnifying party materially prejudices the indemnifying party. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel (unless separate counsel is required due to conflict of interest) or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromises or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any

losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller on the other from the offering of the Stock to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by each of the Company, the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller shall be equal to the sum of (a) in the case of the Company, (x) the Actual Sold Forward Amount for each Forward under this Agreement, multiplied by the Forward Hedge Price for such Forward, and (y) the aggregate market price for the Issuance Shares sold by the Agent under this Agreement, (b) in the case of the Agent, the total commissions received from the sale of Issuance Shares under this Agreement, (c) in the case of a Forward Seller, the Actual Sold Forward Amount for each Forward under this Agreement, multiplied by the Forward Hedge Selling Commission for such Forward, and (d) in the case of a Forward Purchaser, the net Spread (as such term is defined in the relevant Forward Contract and net of any related stock borrow costs or other costs or expenses actually incurred) multiplied by the Forward Hedge Amount for each Forward Contract executed in connection with this Agreement. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Agent, the Forward Purchasers and the Forward Sellers, 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 each such party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Agent, the Forward Purchaser and the Forward Seller agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), (i) the Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of (x) the amount by which the total price at which the Issuance Shares sold by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, (ii) the Forward Seller shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the aggregate Forward Hedge Selling Commissions received by it under this Agreement and (iii) a Forward Purchaser shall in no event be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net Spread (as such term is defined in the relevant Forward Contract and net of any related stock borrow costs or other costs or expenses actually incurred) multiplied by the Forward Hedge Amount for all Forward Contracts executed in connection with this Agreement. 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.

(e) The obligations of the Company and the Operating Partnership under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Operating Partnership may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the

obligations of the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, trustee of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

7. Termination.

(a) The Company shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that with respect to any pending sale through the Agent or the Forward Seller for the Company, the obligations of the Company, including in respect of compensation of the Agent or the Forward Seller, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination and the provisions of Sections 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13 and 14 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(c) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Section 7(a) or (b) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided that any such termination by mutual agreement or pursuant to this clause (c) shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Sections 1, 4, 6 and 12 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

(d) Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Agent, the Forward Purchaser, the Forward Seller or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Delivery Date for any sale of Stock, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(i) hereof.

8. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company acknowledges and agrees that in connection with this offering, sale of the Stock or any other services the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller: (a) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Company and any other person, on the one hand, and the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller on the other, exists; (b) none of the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller is not acting as an advisor, expert or otherwise, to the Company, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the terms of the offering of the Stock, and such relationship between the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (c) any duties and obligations that the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller may have to the Company shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Agent, the Forward Purchaser, the Forward Seller and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company hereby waives any claims that the Company may have against the Agent, the Forward Purchaser or the Forward Seller with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with this offering.
