SECTION 3. Agreement to Sell and Purchase.

On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each of the Forward Sellers (with respect to the Borrowed Firm Shares) and the Company (with respect to any Company Top-Up Firm Shares), severally and not jointly, agrees to sell to the Underwriters, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Forward Sellers (with respect to the Borrowed Firm Shares) and the Company (with respect to any Company Top-Up Firm Shares), at a purchase price of $55.24 (the “Purchase Price”) per Firm Share, the number of Shares set forth in Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter. The obligations of the Forward Sellers to sell the Borrowed Firm Shares under this Agreement are several and not joint. Each Forward Seller’s obligations extend solely to the respective number of Borrowed Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Forward Seller in Schedule A under the heading “Number of Borrowed Firm Shares To Be Sold” at the Purchase Price.

In addition, each of the Forward Sellers (with respect to the Borrowed Additional Shares) and the Company (with respect to any Company Top-Up Additional Shares), severally and not jointly, grants the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, the right to purchase ratably in accordance with the number of Firm Shares to be purchased by each of them, all or a portion of the Additional Shares at a purchase price per Additional Share equal to the Purchase Price less an amount per Additional 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 Purchase Price”). Said option may be exercised by the Underwriters at any time on or before the 30th day following the date hereof, by written, electronic or telegraphic notice by the Underwriters to the Company and the Forward Sellers. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Additional Shares as to which the option is being exercised and the date and time when the Additional Shares are to be delivered; provided, however, that the Time of Delivery shall not be (i) earlier than the Closing Time or (ii) unless otherwise agreed to by the Company, the Forward Sellers and the Underwriters, earlier than the second or later than the tenth Business Day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised. As used herein “Business Day” shall mean a day on which the NYSE is open for trading or commercial banks in the City of New York are open for business.

Following delivery of an exercise notice:

(a) The Company agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to, within one Business Day after such notice is given, execute and deliver to the Forward Purchasers additional letter agreements between the Company and each of the Forward Purchasers (the “Additional Forward Sale Agreements”) relating to the forward sale by the Company, subject to the Company’s right to elect Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement (as such terms are defined in the Additional Forward Sale Agreements), of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of Additional Shares being purchased by the Underwriters from the Forward Sellers pursuant to the exercise of such option, on terms substantially similar to the Initial Forward Sale Agreements, mutatis mutandis, as agreed by the parties. Upon the Company’s execution and delivery to the Forward Purchasers of such Additional Forward Sale Agreements, each Forward Seller (or, in the case of any Company Top-Up Additional Shares, the Company), severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to sell to the several Underwriters such number of Additional Shares at the Additional

Shares Purchase Price. The obligations of the Forward Sellers to sell the Borrowed Additional Shares under this Agreement are several and not joint. Each Forward Seller’s obligations extend solely to the number of Borrowed Additional Shares it has agreed to sell, which shall be not more than the number set forth opposite the name of such Forward Seller in Schedule A under the heading “Maximum Number of Borrowed Additional Shares To Be Sold,” at the Additional Shares Purchase Price.

(b) If the Additional Forward Sale Agreements are not executed and delivered pursuant to clause (a) above, then, upon the basis of the warranties and representations and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to the several Underwriters the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which the option is being exercised at the Additional Shares Purchase Price.

If (i) any of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein or any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant hereto are not true and correct as of the Closing Time or any Time of Delivery, as the case may be, as if made as of the Closing Time or such Time of Delivery, (ii) the Company has not performed all of the obligations required to be performed by it under this Agreement or the Forward Sales Agreements on or prior to the Closing Time or such Time of Delivery, (iii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof have not been satisfied on or prior to the Closing Time or such Time of Delivery, (iv) this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof on or prior to the Closing Time or such Time of Delivery or the Closing Time or such Time of Delivery shall not have occurred, (v) any of the conditions set forth in Paragraph 7(a) of the Forward Sale Agreements shall not have been satisfied on or prior to the Closing Time or such Time of Delivery or (vi) any of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Forward Sale Agreements are not true and correct as of the Closing Time or such Time of Delivery as if made as of the Closing Time or such Time of Delivery (clauses (i) through (vi), together, the “Conditions”), then each Forward Seller, in its sole discretion, may elect not to (or in the case of clause (iv), will not) borrow and deliver for sale to the Underwriters the Borrowed Shares otherwise deliverable on such date. In addition, in the event a Forward Seller determines that (A) it or its affiliate is unable through commercially reasonable efforts to borrow and deliver for sale a number of Borrowed Shares equal to the number of Borrowed Shares that it has agreed to sell and deliver in connection with establishing a commercially reasonable hedge position or (B) in its commercially reasonable judgment either it is impracticable to do so or it or its affiliate would incur a stock loan cost of more than a rate equal to 200 basis points per annum to do so, then, in each case, such Forward Seller shall only be required to deliver for sale to the Underwriters at the Closing Time or any Time of Delivery, as the case may be, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Forward Seller or its affiliates is able to so borrow in connection with establishing its commercially reasonable hedge position at or below such cost.

If a Forward Seller elects not to, or is otherwise not required to, borrow and deliver any Borrowed Shares for sale to the Underwriters pursuant to the preceding paragraph at the Closing Time or any Time of Delivery, as the case may be, the total number of Borrowed Shares to be sold by it hereunder, such Forward Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Closing Time or such Time of Delivery. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will the Company be required to issue or deliver any Company Shares prior to the Business Day following notice to the Company of the relevant number of Securities so deliverable in accordance with this paragraph.

SECTION 4. Covenants of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, covenant with each Underwriter, each Forward Seller and each Forward Purchaser as follows:

(a) Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests. The Company, subject to Section 4(b), will comply with the requirements of Rule 430B, and will notify the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers immediately, and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement shall become effective or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein or for additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the 1933 Act concerning the Registration Statement and (v) if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with the offering of the Securities. The Company will effect all filings required under Rule 424(b), in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus. The Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order, prevention or suspension and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment. The Company shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) under the 1933 Act Regulations without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under the 1933 Act Regulations.

(b) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company will comply with the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. If at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 172”), would be) required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities, any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or for the Company, to (i) amend the Registration Statement in order that the Registration Statement will 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 not misleading, (ii) amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order that the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at

the time it is delivered to a purchaser or (iii) amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company will (A) promptly give the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers notice of such event, (B) furnish the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers with copies of any such documents prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, (C) promptly prepare any amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus comply with such requirements and, a reasonable amount of time prior to any proposed filing or use, furnish the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers with copies of any such amendment or supplement and (D) promptly file with the Commission any such amendment or supplement; provided that the Company shall not file or use any such amendment or supplement to which the Underwriters or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably object. The Company will furnish to the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers may request. The Company has given the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers notice of any filings made pursuant to the 1934 Act or 1934 Act Regulations within 24 hours prior to the Applicable Time; the Company will give the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers notice of its intention to make any such filing from the Applicable Time to the Closing Time and will furnish the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which the Underwriters or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably object.

(c) Delivery of Registration Statements. The Company has furnished or will deliver to the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers and their respective counsel, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith), and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts, and will also deliver to the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, without charge, a conformed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto (without exhibits) for each of the Underwriters. The copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(d) Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company has delivered to each Underwriter, each Forward Seller and each Forward Purchaser, without charge, as many copies of each preliminary prospectus as such Underwriter, such Forward Seller or such Forward Purchaser reasonably requested, and the Company hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the 1933 Act. The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, each Forward Seller and each Forward Purchaser, without charge, during the period when a prospectus relating to the Securities is (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172, would be) required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as such Underwriter, such Forward Seller or such Forward Purchaser may reasonably request. The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(e) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will use its best efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers may designate and to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required to complete the distribution of the Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(f) Rule 158. The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide to the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.

(g) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities and the Confirmation Shares in the manner specified in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

(h) Listing. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect and maintain the listing of the Securities and the Confirmation Shares on the NYSE.

(i) Restriction on Sale of Securities. During a period of 30 days from the date of the Prospectus, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters (i) directly or indirectly, 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 or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or file any registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to any of the foregoing (except for a registration statement on Form S-8 relating to the Company’s equity incentive plan) or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) the Securities to be sold hereunder, (B) any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof and referred to in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (C) Common Stock, options to purchase Common Stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units or long-term incentive units in the Operating Partnership (“LTIP Units”) issued or granted to employees, consultants or directors, in each case pursuant to existing employee benefit plans of the Company referred to in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (D) issuances of shares of Common Stock or Operating Partnership units, as applicable, pursuant to (x) the exercise, vesting, settlement, conversion or redemption, as applicable, of such options, restricted stock units and LTIP Units and (y) the redemption of units outstanding on the date of the Prospectus, including Common OP Units issued upon conversion of LTIP Units outstanding on the date of the

(j) Reporting Requirements. The Company, during the period when a Prospectus relating to the Securities is (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172, would be) required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act within the time periods required by the 1934 Act and 1934 Act Regulations.

(k) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, it will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” or a portion thereof, required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433; provided that the Underwriters will be deemed to have consented to the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses listed on Schedule B-2 hereto and any “road show that is a written communication” within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i) that has been reviewed by the Underwriters. The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each such free writing prospectus consented to, or deemed consented to, by the Underwriters as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and that it has complied and will comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 433 with respect thereto, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission; provided, however, that any statements in or omissions from any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information shall be at the expense of the Underwriters.

(l) Absence of Manipulation. Except as contemplated herein or in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, each of the Company and the Operating Partnership will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

(m) Qualification and Taxation as a REIT. The Company will use its best efforts to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for its taxable year ending December 31, 2023, and the Company will use its best efforts to continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code for all subsequent taxable years and will not take any action to revoke or otherwise terminate the Company’s REIT election, unless the Company’s board of directors determines in good faith that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company to be so qualified.

(n) Sarbanes-Oxley. The Company will comply in all material respects with all applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that are in effect.

SECTION 7. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers. The Company and the Operating Partnership agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each Forward Seller, each Forward Purchaser and their affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act (each, an “Affiliate”)), directors, officers, its selling agents and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter, any Forward Seller or any Forward Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included (A) in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (B) in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Securities (“Marketing Materials”), including any road show or investor presentation made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically), or the omission or alleged omission in any preliminary prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or in Marketing Materials of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 7(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

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

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.

(b) Indemnification of the Company, its Directors and its Officers. Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and the Forward Purchasers and the Forward Sellers, their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents and any person who controls the Forward Purchasers or the Forward Sellers within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.

(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Underwriters, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers, as applicable. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 7 or Section 8 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 7(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

SECTION 8. Contribution.

If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as (x) in the case of the Company and the Operating Partnership, the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (including the proceeds to be received by the Company pursuant to the Forward Sale Agreements, assuming Physical Settlement (as defined in the Forward Sale Agreements) of the Forward Sale Agreement) (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, (y) in the case of the Underwriters, the total compensation received by the Underwriters from the sale of Securities and (z) in the case of the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser, the Spread (as defined in the Forward Sale Agreements) retained by the Forward Purchasers under the Forward Sale Agreements, net of any costs associated therewith, as reasonably determined by the Forward Purchasers, as set forth in the Forward Sale Agreements.

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

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 8, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter, a Forward Seller or a Forward Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Underwriter’s, each Forward Seller’s or each Forward Purchaser’s Affiliates, directors, officers and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, such Forward Seller or such Forward Purchaser, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or the Operating Partnership. The respective obligations of the Underwriters and the Forward Sellers to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the number of Securities (including without limitation any Additional Shares) each Underwriter has agreed to purchase (in the case of the Underwriters) and the number of Borrowed Shares each Forward Seller has agreed to sell (in the case of the Forward Sellers) and not joint.

The provisions of this Section shall not affect any agreement among the Company and the Operating Partnership with respect to contribution.

SECTION 9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any Forward Seller or any Forward Purchaser or their Affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling any Underwriter, any Forward Seller or any Forward Purchaser, its officers or directors, any person controlling the Company or the Operating Partnership and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Securities.

SECTION 10. Termination of Agreement.

(a) Termination. The Underwriters, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, in the judgment of the Underwriters, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Underwriters, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the NYSE, or (iv) if trading generally on the NYSE American or the NYSE or in the Nasdaq Global Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or (v) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or with respect to Clearstream or Euroclear systems in Europe, or (vi) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

(b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 5 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19 and 22 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 11. Issuance and Sale by the Company.

(a) In the event that any Forward Seller elects not to, or is otherwise not required to, borrow and deliver any Borrowed Shares for sale to the Underwriters pursuant to Section 3 hereof at the Closing Time or the Time of Delivery, as applicable, then such Forward Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, at the Closing Time or such Time of Delivery, as the case may be, and the Company shall issue and sell to the Underwriters, in whole but not in part, an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Borrowed Shares deliverable by such Forward Seller hereunder that such Forward Seller does not so deliver and sell to the Underwriters. The shares of Common Stock sold by the Company to the Underwriters pursuant to this Section 11(a): (i) in lieu of any Borrowed Firm Shares are herein referred to collectively as the “Company Top-Up Firm Shares” and (ii) in lieu of any Borrowed Additional Shares are herein referred to collectively as the “Company Top-Up Additional Shares.” In connection with any such issuance and sale by the Company, the Company and the Underwriters shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time or the Time of Delivery, as applicable, for one Business Day in order to effect any required changes in any documents or arrangements.

(b) Neither any of the Forward Purchasers nor any of the Forward Sellers shall have any liability whatsoever for any Borrowed Shares that such Forward Seller does not deliver and sell to the Underwriters or any other party if such Forward Seller elects not to, or is otherwise not required to, borrow and deliver for sale to the Underwriters pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

SECTION 12. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at Closing Time or a Time of Delivery to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Underwriters shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Underwriters shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

(i) if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

(ii) if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, this Agreement or, with respect to any Time of Delivery which occurs after the Closing Time, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase, and the Forward Sellers and the Company to sell, the Additional Shares to be purchased and sold on such Time of Delivery shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of a Time of Delivery which is after the Closing Time, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and the Forward Sellers and Company to sell the relevant Additional Shares, as the case may be, either the (i) Underwriters or (ii) the Forward Sellers or the Company shall have the right to postpone Closing Time or the relevant Time of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 12.

SECTION 15. Parties.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned, an [officer /director]¹ of Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), understands that [•] and [•] (together with [•], the “Underwriters”) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Company and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) and the other parties thereto providing for the public offering of shares (the “Securities”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). In recognition of the benefit that such an offering will confer upon the undersigned as an [officer/director] of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with each underwriter to be named in the Underwriting Agreement that, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that is 30 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, 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 for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of the Company’s Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of the Lock-up Securities, or file or cause to be filed any registration statement in connection therewith, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, provided that other than with respect to transfers pursuant to clauses (i), (v), (ix) and (x) below (1) the Underwriters receive a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the lockup period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) except for transfers pursuant to clause (ii) below, such transfers are not required to be reported with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 4 in accordance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (4) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers:

(i) to the Company pursuant to the exercise and issuance of options; provided that the undersigned does not voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers;

E-1

(ii) as a bona fide gift or gifts or other dispositions by will or intestacy;

(iii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein;

(iv) to an immediate family member, a partnership or limited liability company solely for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family member for the undersigned, provided that such immediate family member, partnership or limited liability company agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein;

(v) to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent pursuant to a domestic relations order or an order of competent jurisdiction; provided that the undersigned does not voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers;

(vii) to the undersigned’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned;

(viii) any transfer required under any benefit plans of the Company or the bylaws of the Company;

(ix) to the Company or the Operating Partnership, as required by participants in the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Award Plan in order to reimburse or pay federal income tax and withholding obligations in connection with vesting of restricted stock grants or long-term incentive units or performance units; provided that the undersigned does not voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers;

(x) in connection with the exercise of any right of redemption with respect to outstanding common units, long-term incentive units or performance units; provided, however, that any shares of Common Stock issued upon such redemption shall be Lock-Up Securities for purposes of this agreement and shall not be further transferred except in accordance with this agreement; or

(xi) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (i) through (x) above.

For purposes of this agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.

Furthermore, the undersigned may sell shares of Common Stock of the Company purchased by the undersigned on the open market following the Public Offering if and only if (i) such sales are not required to be reported in any public report or filing with the Securities Exchange Commission, or otherwise and (ii) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such sales.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that, although the Underwriters may be required or choose to provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures to you in connection with the Public Offering, the Underwriters are not making a recommendation to you to enter into this lockup agreement, and nothing set forth in such disclosures is intended to suggest that any Underwriter is making such a recommendation.
