The Company will provide a full and unconditional guarantee (the “Guarantee”) with respect to the Securities. The Securities are to be issued under an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of August 18, 2016, among the Operating Partnership and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture relating to the Securities, to be dated June 27, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), among the Operating Partnership, the Company and the Trustee (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).

For purposes of this Agreement, “freewriting prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. “Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses” means any free writing prospectus identified as such on Schedule II, and “broadly available road show” means a “bona fide electronic road show” as defined in Rule 433(h)(5) under the Securities Act that has been made available without restriction to any person.

(ss) The Company maintains an effective system of “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule13a-15 and Rule15d-15 of the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as

appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company has carried out evaluations of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule13a-15 and Rule15d-15 of the Exchange Act, and such disclosure controls and procedures were effective in all material respects as of the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter.

All statements regarding the Company’s qualification and taxation as a REIT and descriptions of the Company’s organization and proposed method of operation (inasmuch as they relate to the Company’s qualification and taxation as a REIT) set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus are true, complete and correct summaries of the legal or tax matters described therein in all materials respects.

(uu) The Company and each of the Subsidiaries have filed all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns required to be filed through the date of this Agreement or have requested extensions thereof (except where the failure to file would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect) and have paid all taxes required to be paid thereon (except for cases in which the failure to file or pay would not have a material adverse effect, or, except as currently being contested in good faith and for which reserves required by U.S. GAAP have been created in the financial statements of the Company), and no tax deficiency has been determined adversely to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries which has had (nor does the Company or any of the Subsidiaries have any notice or knowledge of any tax deficiency which could reasonably be expected to be determined adversely to the Company or the Subsidiaries and which could reasonably be expected to have) a material adverse effect.

(vv) The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto in all material respects.

(ww) Each of the Transaction Entities is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (“ERISA”). No “reportable event” (as defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to any “pension plan” (as defined in ERISA) for which either of the Transaction Entities would have any material liability.

Each “pension plan” for which either of the Transaction Entities would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified in all material respects and nothing has occurred thereunder, whether by action or by failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(xx) Any statistical and market-related data included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus are based on or derived from sources that the Transaction Entities believe to be reliable and accurate in all material respects and, to the extent required, the Transaction Entities have obtained the written consent to the use of such data from such sources.

(zz) To the knowledge of the Transaction Entities, there has been no security breach or incident, unauthorized access or disclosure, or other compromise of the Transaction Entities’ or the Subsidiaries’ information technology and computer systems, networks, hardware, software, data and databases (including the data and information of their respective tenants, customers, employees, suppliers, vendors and any third party data maintained, processed or stored by the Transaction Entities and the Subsidiaries, and any such data processed or stored by third parties on behalf of the Transaction Entities and the Subsidiaries), equipment or technology (collectively, “IT Systems and Data”); (B) neither the Transaction Entities nor the Subsidiaries have been notified of, and have no knowledge of any event or condition that would result in, any security breach or incident, unauthorized access or disclosure or other compromise to their IT Systems and Data; and (C) the Transaction Entities and the Subsidiaries have implemented controls, policies, procedures, and technological safeguards to maintain and protect, in all material respects, the integrity, continuous operation, redundancy and security of their IT Systems and Data reasonably consistent with industry standards and practices, except with respect to clauses (A) and (B), for any such security breach or incident, unauthorized access or disclosure, or other compromises, as would not have a material adverse effect on the Transaction Entities and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Except as would not have a material adverse effect on the Transaction Entities and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, the Transaction Entities and the Subsidiaries are presently in compliance with all applicable laws or statutes and all judgments, orders, rules and regulations of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, internal policies and contractual obligations relating to the privacy and security of IT Systems and Data and to the protection of such IT Systems and Data from unauthorized use, access, misappropriation or modification.

It is understood, however, that except as provided in this Section 5, Section 7 and the last paragraph of Section 9, each Underwriter will pay all of its costs and expenses, including any advertising expenses connected with any offers such Underwriter may make.

(m) During the period from the date hereof through and including the Closing Date, no Transaction Entity will, without your prior written consent, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities issued or guaranteed by it and having a tenor of more than one year.

(n) The Operating Partnership will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described in each of the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds.”

(o) The Transaction Entities will use their commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all of their agreements set forth in their representation letters relating to the approval of debt securities of the Transaction Entities by DTC for “book entry” transfer.

(p) If by the third anniversary (the “Renewal Deadline”) of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, any of the Securities remain unsold by the Underwriters, the Transaction Entities will file, if they have not already done so and are eligible to do so, a new automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Securities and the Guarantee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to you. If at the Renewal Deadline the Transaction Entities are no longer eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement, the Transaction Entities will, if they have not already done so, file a new shelf registration statement relating to the Securities and the Guarantee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to you and will use their best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days after the Renewal Deadline. The

Transaction Entities will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Securities to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to the Securities. References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new automatic shelf registration statement or such new shelf registration statement, as the case may be.

(q) The Transaction Entities agree to comply with all agreements set forth in the representation letters of the Transaction Entities to DTC relating to the approval of the Exchange Securities by DTC for “book entry” transfer.

6. Covenants of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, covenants with the Transaction Entities not to take any action that would result in the Transaction Entities being required to file with the Commission a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Transaction Entities thereunder, but for the action of such Underwriter.

7. Indemnity and Contribution.

(a) Each of the Transaction Entities, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, their respective directors, their officers, each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate thereof within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Transaction Entity information that the Transaction Entities have filed, or are required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any “road show” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”), the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon the Counterparty Information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Transaction Entities in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.

(b) Each Underwriter severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Transaction Entities, their directors, their officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls a Transaction Entity within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Transaction Entities to the Underwriters, but only with reference to the Counterparty Information relating to an Underwriter furnished to the Transaction Entities in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus that the Transaction Entities have filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or any amendment or supplement thereto.”

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing, and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense

of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such separate firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a), and by the applicable Transaction Entity, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or Section 7(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Transaction Entities, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by Section 7(d)(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in Section 7(d)(i) but also the relative fault of the Transaction Entities, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Transaction Entities, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Transaction Entities and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Transaction Entities, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Transaction Entities or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) The Transaction Entities and each Underwriter agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined bypro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purposes) or by any other method of allocation

that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 7(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, each Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities sold by it were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. The obligations of each Underwriter to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several and not joint.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 7 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Transaction Entities contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of an Underwriter, any person controlling an Underwriter or any director, officer or affiliate of an Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Transaction Entities, their officers or directors or any person controlling a Transaction Entity and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

8. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by the Representatives to the Operating Partnership, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market, (ii) trading of any securities of a Transaction Entity shall have been suspended on any exchange or in anyover-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

9. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more thanone-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all suchnon-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date;provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 9 by an amount in excess ofone-ninth of such principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more thanone-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Operating Partnership for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of anynon-defaulting Underwriter or the Transaction Entities. In any such case either you or the Operating

Partnership shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Transaction Entities to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement (which, for the purposes of this Section 9, shall not include termination by the Underwriters under items (i), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 8), or if for any reason the Transaction Entities shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Operating Partnership will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for allout-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

10. Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Transaction Entities and the Underwriters with respect to the Registration Statement, the preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Securities.

(b) The Transaction Entities acknowledge that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Transaction Entities or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Transaction Entities only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Transaction Entities. The Transaction Entities waive to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims they may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.

11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

12. Applicable Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of New York, or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York to be applied.

13. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

14. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and: if to J.P. Morgan shall be delivered, mailed or sent to Wells Fargo shall be delivered, mailed or sent to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, 550 South Tryon Street, 5th Floor, Charlotte, North Carolina 28202, attention: Transaction Management (facsimile: (704)410-0326); if to J.P.

Kleindorfer, Esq.

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

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