As Forward Purchasers

Ladies and Gentlemen:

MGM Growth Properties LLC, Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), confirm their agreement with BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., Evercore Group L.L.C., Fifth Third Securities, Inc., Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., each as sales agent and/or principal and/or (except in the case of Evercore Group L.L.C., Fifth Third Securities, Inc. and SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc.) forward seller (in any such capacity, each an “Agent” and together the “Agents”) and BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and The Bank of

Nova Scotia, each as forward purchaser (in such capacity, each a “Forward Purchaser” and together the “Forward Purchasers”), as stated in this agreement (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, this “Agreement”). For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that, if Shares are offered or sold through any Agent acting as forward seller for the applicable Forward Purchaser, then such Agent, as forward seller, shall be acting as sales agent for such Forward Purchaser with respect to the offering and sale of such Shares, and, except in cases where this Agreement expressly refers to an Agent acting as sales agent for the Company or unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to any Agent acting as sales agent shall also be deemed to apply to such Agent when acting as forward seller, mutatis mutandis; provided that each of Evercore Group L.L.C., Fifth Third Securities, Inc. and SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. is not acting as a forward seller.

The Company proposes (i) to issue, offer and sell from time to time to or through any of the Agents, severally and not jointly, the Company’s class A common shares (the “Class A Common Shares”) and (ii) to instruct any of the Agents, severally and not jointly, to offer and sell Class A Common Shares as forward sellers, having, with respect to (i) and (ii) above combined, an aggregate gross sales price (the “Maximum Program Amount”) of up to $300,000,000 (the “Shares”), on the terms and subject to the conditions stated in this Agreement and, if applicable, in any Terms Agreement or Confirmation (as such terms are hereinafter defined).

The Company agrees that if and when it determines to sell Shares directly to one or more of the Agents, acting as principal and not as a sales agent under this Agreement (such sale, a “Principal Transaction”), the Company and the Operating Partnership will enter into a separate agreement in substantially the form of Annex B hereto relating to such sale, with such changes to such form as the parties thereto may agree (each a “Terms Agreement”). Any Shares issued and sold by the Company through any of the Agents, acting as sales agents for the Company, or to any of the Agents, acting as principal, pursuant to this Agreement and, if applicable, any Terms Agreements, are hereinafter sometimes called “Primary Shares.”

The Company may also enter into one or more forward stock purchase transactions with any of the Forward Purchasers as set forth in one or more separate letter agreements executed pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof (each, a “Confirmation” and, collectively, the “Confirmations”). Under each Confirmation, the Company will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such Confirmation, deliver to the applicable Forward Purchaser, or an affiliate thereof (including the Agent affiliated with such Forward Purchaser), up to the maximum number of Class A Common Shares as may be sold in accordance with this Agreement in connection with such Confirmation. In connection with any Confirmation entered into as contemplated by this Agreement, it is contemplated that the applicable Forward Purchaser will attempt to borrow and then offer, through the applicable Agent, acting as forward seller and sales agent on behalf of such Forward Purchaser, such borrowed Shares for sale on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Any Shares borrowed by a Forward Purchaser or its affiliate and offered and sold by the applicable Agent, as forward seller, or its affiliate in connection with any such forward stock purchase transaction that has occurred or may occur pursuant to this Agreement are hereinafter sometimes called “Forward Hedge Shares”.

The aggregate gross sales price of the Shares that may be sold pursuant to this Agreement (including Shares borrowed by any Forward Purchaser and sold through an Agent, as forward seller, in connection with any Confirmation) and any Terms Agreements shall not exceed the Maximum Program Amount.

The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-218090), relating to the Class A Common Shares, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “1933 Act Regulations”), which automatic shelf registration statement became effective under Rule 462(e) under the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 462(e)”).

1. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to each Agent and each Forward Purchaser as follows:

(a) Registration Statement and Prospectuses. The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405) and the Shares have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on such automatic shelf registration statement. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective under the 1933 Act. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been issued under the 1933 Act, no order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus has been issued and no proceedings for any of those purposes have been instituted or are pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, contemplated. The Company has complied with each request (if any) from the Commission for additional information.

The Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time of its effectiveness, on each Effective Date and on each Delivery Date (as defined in Section 2(j) below), complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations. Each preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, at the time each was or hereafter is filed with the Commission and on each Delivery Date, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act Regulations and each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Agents and Forward Purchasers for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, when they became effective or at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.

(b) Accurate Disclosure. Neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment thereto, at its effective time or on any Effective Date contained, contains or will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As of any Applicable Time, neither of (A) the Disclosure Package nor (B) any individual Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the Disclosure Package, included, includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of any Delivery Date, neither the Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto includes, included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits

or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus did not or will not, as the case may be, when they became or become effective or when such documents incorporated by reference were or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, when read together with the other information in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, did not and 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Agent or Forward Purchaser expressly for use therein. For the purposes of this Agreement, the only information so furnished shall consist solely of the names of the Agents and the Forward Purchasers appearing in the Prospectus (the “Agent Information”).

(c) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. No Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein, and any preliminary or other prospectus deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified. Any offer that is a written communication relating to the Shares made prior to the initial filing of the Registration Statement by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this paragraph only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations) has been filed with the Commission in accordance with the exemption provided by Rule 163 under the 1933 Act Regulations (“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 1933 Act provided by Rule 163.

(d) Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (A) At the original effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) under the 1933 Act) made any offer relating to the Shares in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 under the 1933 Act, and (D) as of the Applicable Time, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405).

(e) Company Not Ineligible Issuer. At the time of filing the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the earliest time thereafter that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations) of the Shares and at the date hereof, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405, without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an ineligible issuer.

(f) Independent Accountants. The accountants who certified the financial statements and supporting schedules included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are independent public accountants as required by the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act, the 1934 Act Regulations and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

The pro forma financial statements and the related notes thereto included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, if any, present fairly in all material respects the information shown therein, have been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines with respect to pro forma financial statements and have been properly compiled on the basis described therein, and the assumptions used in the preparation thereof are reasonable and the adjustments used therein are appropriate to give effect to the transactions and circumstances referred to therein. Except as included or incorporated by reference therein or as expressly permitted by the Commission to be excluded therefrom, no historical or pro forma financial statements or supporting schedules are required to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus under the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations. All disclosures contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or incorporated by reference therein, regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the rules and regulations of the Commission) comply with Regulation G of the 1934 Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the 1933 Act, to the extent applicable.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees (i) to issue and sell Shares through the Agents, each acting severally as sales agent, from time to time and, if agreed to by any Agent or Agents, as the case may be, in connection with a Principal Transaction pursuant to a Terms Agreement with the Company and the Operating Partnership, to issue and sell the Shares to be sold pursuant to such Terms Agreement directly to such Agent or Agents, as the case may be, acting severally as principal and, in the case of a sale through an Agent acting as sales agent, such Agent agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell the applicable Shares as sales agent for the Company at such prices and in such amounts as the Company instructs such Agent to sell from time to time in accordance with this Agreement (but subject to the acceptance of such instructions by such Agent), and (ii) to instruct the applicable Agent (which shall be either the same entity as the applicable Forward Purchaser or an affiliate of such Forward Purchaser), acting as forward seller on behalf of such Forward Purchaser, to offer and sell Forward Hedge Shares

as contemplated by a Placement Notice (as defined below) (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance (as defined below)), and such Agent agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell such Shares as forward seller for such Forward Purchaser at such prices and in such amounts as set forth in a Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance), in each case referred to in clause (i) and (ii) above on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and, if applicable, such Terms Agreement or Confirmation, as the case may be. Sales of the Shares, if any, through an Agent acting as sales agent will be made (1) in “at the market” offerings (as defined in Rule 415 under the 1933 Act Regulations) by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, including sales made on the Exchange, sales made to or through market makers and sales made through other securities exchanges or electronic communications networks and (2) in such privately negotiated transactions, which may include block trades, as the Company and such Agent may agree. Sales of Shares, if any, purchased by an Agent as principal in a Principal Transaction will be made as provided in the applicable Terms Agreement and the applicable preliminary pricing supplement and pricing supplement prepared in connection with the offering of those Shares.

(b) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to the obligations of the Agents as set forth in Section 5 hereof, the Shares to be sold by any Agent, acting as sales agent on behalf of the Company, are to be sold on a daily basis or otherwise as shall be agreed to by the Company and such Agent on any trading day (other than a day on which the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time) (each, a “Trading Day”) on which the Company has instructed such Agent to make such sales pursuant to this paragraph. On any Trading Day, the Company may instruct an Agent by telephone (confirmed promptly by facsimile transmission or electronic mail, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged (including, without limitation, by facsimile transmission or electronic mail) by such Agent) as to the minimum price per Share at which such Shares may be sold and the maximum aggregate gross sales price and the maximum aggregate number of Shares to be sold through such Agent, as sales agent on behalf of the Company, on such day (which shall not in any event be in excess of (x) the aggregate gross sales price available for issuance as of such Trading Day under the Prospectus and the Registration Statement or the aggregate number of unissued Shares that have been approved for listing on the Exchange or authorized for issuance by the Company’s board of directors or any duly authorized committee thereof or (y) the maximum aggregate gross sales price which may be sold without exceeding the Maximum Program Amount). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and to the acceptance of such instructions by the applicable Agent, such Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell on any particular Trading Day as sales agent acting on behalf of the Company all of the Shares so designated and instructed by the Company on such day. If an Agent elects to purchase Shares as principal, the sale and purchase of such Shares shall be made pursuant to a Terms Agreement, and the Company and the Operating Partnership agree not to enter into a Terms Agreement with any Agent to sell any Shares in excess of the aggregate gross sales price or number of Shares set forth in clauses (x) or (y) in the second sentence in this paragraph. The Company and the Operating Partnership acknowledge and agree that (i) there can be no assurance that any Agent will be successful in selling Shares as sales agent acting on behalf of the Company, (ii) no Agent shall incur

any liability or obligation to the Company, the Operating Partnership or any other person or entity if it does not sell Shares as sales agent acting on behalf of the Company for any reason other than a failure by such Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell such Shares as sales agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) no Agent shall be under any obligation to purchase Shares as principal except as otherwise specifically agreed by such Agent, the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in, a Terms Agreement signed by such Agent. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Terms Agreement to which an Agent is a party, the terms of such Terms Agreement will control; provided that the Company shall not enter into any Terms Agreement providing for the issuance and sale of any Shares in excess of the aggregate gross sales price or number of Shares set forth in clauses (x) or (y) in the second sentence in this paragraph.

(c) On any Trading Day on which (i) the conditions to the obligations of the Agents and the Forward Purchasers as set forth in Section 5 hereof have been satisfied and (ii) no event described in clause (x) or clause (y) of the proviso set forth in the definition of the Forward Hedge Selling Period shall have occurred, the Company may deliver a notice to the applicable Forward Purchaser and the applicable Agent acting as forward seller on behalf of such Forward Purchaser in the form of an email (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) containing the parameters in accordance with which it desires the Shares to be sold through such Agent, as forward seller, in connection with hedging a forward stock purchase transaction set forth in such notice, which notice shall include the maximum number of Shares to be sold, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of Shares that may be sold in any one day and any minimum price per Share below which sales may not be made or a formula pursuant to which such minimum price shall be determined (a “Placement Notice”), a form of which containing certain necessary minimum sale parameters is attached hereto as Exhibit B hereto. If such Forward Purchaser and such Agent, acting as forward seller, wish to accept such proposed terms included in the Placement Notice (which they may decline to do for any reason in their sole discretion) or, following discussion with the Company, wish to accept amended terms, such Forward Purchaser and such Agent, acting as forward seller, will promptly, and in any event prior to the opening of trading on the Trading Day following the Trading Day on which such Placement Notice was delivered to such Forward Purchaser and such Agent, acting as forward seller, issue to the Company a notice by email (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) setting forth the terms that such Forward Purchaser and such Agent, as forward seller, are willing to accept. Where the terms provided in the Placement Notice are amended as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, such terms will not be binding on the Company or the Forward Purchaser and the Agent, as forward seller, until the Company delivers to such Forward Purchaser and such Agent, as forward seller, an acceptance by email (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) of all the terms of such Placement Notice, as amended (an “Acceptance”). The Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of such Forward Purchaser’s and such Agent’s, as forward seller, acceptance of the terms of the Placement Notice or upon receipt by such Forward Purchaser and such Agent, as forward seller, of the Company’s Acceptance, as the case may be. Immediately upon the effectiveness of the

Placement Notice (and in any event prior to the opening of the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day on which the Placement Notice became effective), the parties shall execute a Confirmation for the respective “Transaction” (as defined therein) substantially in the form of Annex C hereto (subject to the terms of the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if Applicable) and any amendments or modifications therein). No Placement Notice may be delivered if such Placement Notice, together with all prior Placement Notices (as amended by the corresponding Acceptances, if applicable) delivered by the Company hereunder would result in the sum of the number of Shares issued under all Confirmations that have settled, plus the aggregate “Capped Number” (as defined in the Confirmations then outstanding or to be entered into between the Company and the Forward Purchasers) exceeding 19.99% of the number of Shares outstanding as of the day of this Agreement.

(d) (x) Upon the effectiveness of the Placement Notice and the applicable Confirmation and (y) subject to the terms of such Confirmation and satisfaction of the conditions to the obligations of the respective Forward Purchaser and Agent, as forward seller, set forth in Section 5 hereof, the applicable Forward Purchaser will use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow or cause its affiliate to borrow a number of Shares sufficient to have an aggregate sales price as close as reasonably practicable to the target aggregate sales price of the Forward Hedge Shares to be sold by the relevant Agent, as forward seller, specified in the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) (the “Forward Hedge Amount”) and the applicable Agent, as 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 this Agreement and the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable). The Company and the Operating Partnership acknowledge and agree that (i) there can be no assurance that any Forward Purchaser or its affiliate will be successful in borrowing or that any Agent, as forward seller, will be successful in selling any Forward Hedge Shares, (ii) no Agent, as forward seller, will incur any liability or obligation to the Company, the Operating Partnership, any Forward Purchaser, or any other person or entity if it does not sell the Forward Hedge Shares borrowed by such Forward Purchaser or its affiliate for any reason other than a failure by such Agent, as 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(d), (iii) no Agent, as forward seller, or Forward Purchaser shall incur any liability for not borrowing, offering or selling any Forward Hedge Shares as a result of any of the circumstances specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 2(m), and (iv) no Forward Purchaser will incur any liability or obligation to the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Forward Seller, or any other person or entity if it or its affiliate does not borrow Forward Hedge Shares for any reason other than a failure by such Forward Purchaser to use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow or cause its affiliate to borrow such Forward Hedge Shares as required under this Section 2(d). In acting hereunder, the relevant Agent, as forward seller, will be acting as an agent for the applicable Forward Purchaser and not as principal.

(e) The Company agrees that any offer to sell, any solicitation of an offer to buy, or any sales of Shares by or on behalf of the Company or any Forward Purchaser shall be effected by or through only one of the Agents on any given Trading Day (whether acting

as sales agent, forward seller or principal) and the Company shall in no event request that (i) more than one Agent offer or sell Shares (whether acting as sales agent, forward seller or principal) on the same Trading Day and/or (ii) any Agent offer or sell Shares (whether acting as sales agent, forward seller or principal) during any “Unwind Period” (as defined in any Confirmation entered into between the Company and any Forward Purchaser); provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company and the Operating Partnership from entering into a Terms Agreement with two or more Agents providing for such Agents, each acting severally as principal, to offer and sell the Shares set forth in such Terms Agreement or prohibit or limit in any respect the offer or sale of Shares purchased by any Agent, as principal, from the Company pursuant to a Terms Agreement.

(f) As of any Trading Day, the Company shall not authorize the offering, issuance, or sale of any Shares (including, without limitation, sales on behalf of a Forward Purchaser or pursuant to any Terms Agreement), no Agent, acting as sales agent, shall be obligated to offer or sell any Shares, and no Agent, acting as principal in a Principal Transaction, shall be obligated to purchase any Shares pursuant to a Terms Agreement, (i) at a price lower than the minimum price therefor authorized from time to time by the Company’s board of directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, or (ii) with a maximum aggregate gross sales price in excess of the Maximum Program Amount or (iii) in excess of the aggregate gross sales price available for issuance as of such Trading Day under the Prospectus and Registration Statement or the aggregate number of unissued Shares approved for listing on the Exchange or authorized for issuance by the Company’s board of directors or any duly authorized committee thereof. The Company shall advise the Agents in writing from time to time of the minimum price, maximum aggregate number and maximum aggregate gross sales price of Shares referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) and the number of unissued Shares referred to in clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence. In addition, no Agent, acting as sales agent, shall sell any Shares on any Trading Day at a price lower than the minimum sales price or in an amount in excess of the maximum number of Shares or maximum gross sales price of Shares that the Company shall have instructed such Agent in writing to sell as provided in Section 2(b). In addition, the Company or any Agent may, upon notice to the other relevant parties by telephone (confirmed promptly by facsimile transmission or electronic mail, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged (including, without limitation, by facsimile transmission or electronic mail) by such Agent or the Company, as the case may be), suspend the offering of the Shares with respect to which such Agent is acting as sales agent for any reason and at any time (a “Suspension”); provided, however, that such Suspension shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to any Shares that an Agent has agreed to purchase prior to the giving of such notice pursuant to a Terms Agreement, with respect to any offering or resale of any Shares purchased or to be purchased by an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement entered into prior to the giving of such notice, or with respect to any Shares which an investor has agreed to purchase but which have not been delivered to, and paid for by, such investor as contemplated hereby prior to the giving of such notice, nor will any such Suspension affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to any Confirmation executed and delivered by the Company and the applicable Forward Purchaser prior to the giving of such notice. If the Company or an Agent shall give notice of a Suspension as aforesaid, then it may rescind such Suspension by notice to the other parties, which notice shall be given in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence.

(g) If any party hereto has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the 1934 Act are not satisfied with respect to the Company or the Shares, it shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and sales of the Shares under this Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party hereto; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to any Shares that an Agent has agreed to purchase prior to the giving of such notice pursuant to a Terms Agreement, with respect to any offering or resale of any Shares purchased or to be purchased by an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement entered into prior to the giving of such notice, or with respect to any Shares which an investor has agreed to purchase but which have not been delivered to, and paid for by, such investor as contemplated hereby prior to the giving of such notice; and further provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to any Confirmation executed and delivered by the Company and the applicable Forward Purchaser prior to the giving of such notice.

(h) The gross sales price of any Shares sold under this Agreement through any Agent, acting as sales agent, shall be the market price for such Shares prevailing at the time of such sale or the price determined through a privately negotiated transaction. The compensation payable to an Agent for sales of any Shares sold through such Agent, as sales agent, shall be equal to such percentage of the aggregate gross sales price of such Shares as the Company and such Agent may agree by telephone (confirmed promptly by facsimile transmission or electronic mail, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged (including, without limitation, by facsimile transmission or electronic mail) by the other party), which in any event shall not exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company and an Agent agree to sell Shares other than through ordinary brokers’ transactions using sales efforts and methods that may constitute a “distribution” within the meaning of Rule 100 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act, such Agent shall not be obligated to sell such Shares until the Company and such Agent agree to compensation that is customary for such Agent with respect to transactions of such nature and size and that may exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price. The compensation payable to an Agent for sales of any Shares sold to such Agent as principal shall be set forth in the applicable Terms Agreement. The proceeds (after deducting the applicable Agent’s commission as set forth above in this paragraph) from the sale of Shares through an Agent as sales agent or the total price paid to the Company by an Agent in the case of Shares sold to such Agent as principal, as the case may be, in each case 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 or a Forward Purchaser, as applicable, for such Shares (the “Net Proceeds”). The applicable Agent shall notify the Company as promptly as practicable if any deduction (other than the deduction of commissions or discounts payable to such Agent) described in the preceding sentence will be required. In connection with sales pursuant to Section 2(d) of this Agreement, the compensation payable to the Agent for sales of Forward Hedge Shares with respect to which the Agent acts as forward seller shall be reflected in a reduction not to exceed 2.0% from the Initial Forward Price (as such term is defined in the applicable Confirmation).

(i) If acting as sales agent or forward seller hereunder, the applicable Agent shall provide written confirmation (which may be by facsimile transmission or electronic mail) to the Company following the close of trading on the Exchange each Trading Day on which Shares are sold through such Agent, setting forth the number of Shares sold on such day, and their aggregate gross sales price, the aggregate Net Proceeds to the Company or to the applicable Forward Purchaser, as applicable, the compensation payable by the Company to such Agent with respect to such sales and, if applicable, the Initial Forward Price (as defined in the applicable Confirmation) as of such day under any Confirmation pursuant to which the Forward Hedge Shares were sold on such day.

(j) Settlement for sales of Shares through any Agent under this Agreement or under any Terms Agreement to which one or more of the Agents is a party 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, such Agent or Agents, as the case may be, and the applicable Forward Purchaser. On each date of settlement for the sale of Shares through an Agent acting as sales agent for the Company or to an Agent acting as principal (each such day, a “Direct Delivery Date”), or through an Agent acting as forward seller for a Forward Purchaser (each such day, a “Forward Delivery Date,” and together with a Direct Delivery Date, a “Delivery Date”), the Shares sold through such Agent for settlement on such date shall be delivered by the Company or such Forward Purchaser, as the case may be, to such Agent against payment of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Shares to the Company or such Forward Purchaser, as applicable, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, settlement for any Additional Securities (as defined in Annex B hereto) that are to be purchased by an Agent pursuant to any Terms Agreement will occur on the date or dates specified pursuant to such Terms Agreement and the term “Delivery Date,” as used in this Agreement and any Terms Agreement with respect to such Additional Securities, shall be deemed to include any such date on which any such Additional Securities are to be purchased by any Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement. Settlement for all Shares shall be effected by book-entry delivery of the Shares to the applicable Agent’s account at The Depository Trust Company against payment by such Agent of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Shares in same day funds delivered to an account designated by the Company or the applicable Forward Purchaser, as applicable. In the case of any Shares purchased by an Agent as principal, the foregoing settlement procedures may be superseded by any different procedures set forth in the applicable Terms Agreement. If the Company shall default on its obligation to deliver Shares to any Agent on any Direct Delivery Date, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall, jointly and severally, (i) indemnify and hold such Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default, and (ii) pay such Agent any commission (or, in the case of Shares to be sold pursuant to Terms Agreement, the discount), to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default. If any Agent breaches this Agreement by failing to deliver to the Company or the applicable Forward Purchaser, as the case may be, the applicable Net Proceeds on any Delivery Date for Shares delivered by the Company or (unless otherwise agreed by such Forward Purchaser) such Forward Purchaser, as applicable, such Agent will pay the Company or such Forward

Purchaser, as applicable, interest on such Net Proceeds at a rate equal to the effective overnight federal funds rate for the period from and including such Delivery Date to but excluding the date on which such Net Proceeds, together with such interest, have been fully paid.

(k) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not offer or sell, or instruct or request any Agent to offer or sell, any Shares through such Agent as sales agent or forward seller (and, by notice to such Agent given by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email), shall cancel any instructions for any such offer or sale of any Shares prior to the commencement of the periods referenced below), and such Agent shall not be obligated to make any such offer or sale of Shares, and the Company shall not enter into any Terms Agreement with any Agent or any Confirmation with any Forward Purchaser, (i) during any period in which the Company is, or could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information or (ii) except as provided in Section 2(l) hereof, at any time during the period commencing on and including the 10th business day prior to the time the Company issues a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other operating results for a fiscal period or periods (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K (a “Filing Time”) that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same fiscal period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement.

(l) Notwithstanding clause (ii) of Section 2(k) hereof, if the Company wishes to have Shares offered or sold through an Agent, as sales agent or forward seller, or enter into any Terms Agreement with an Agent or any Confirmation with a Forward Purchaser, as the case may be, at any time during the period commencing on and including the 10th business day prior to the time the Company issues an Earnings Announcement through and including the time that is 24 hours after the corresponding Filing Time, the Company shall first (i) prepare and deliver to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers (with a copy to their counsel), a Current Report on Form 8-K that includes substantially the same financial and related information that was included in such Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings projections and similar forward-looking data and officers’ quotations) (each, an “Earnings 8-K”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, and, prior to filing such Earnings 8-K, obtain the written consent of the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, to such filing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (ii) provide the Agents and the Forward Purchasers with the officer’s certificate, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letters specified in Sections 3(a)(xii), 3(a)(xiii) and 3(a)(xiv), respectively, hereof, (iii) afford the Agents and the Forward Purchasers the opportunity to conduct a due diligence review as contemplated by Section 3(a)(xi) hereof prior to filing such Earnings 8-K and (iv) file (and not furnish) such Earnings 8-K with the Commission. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that (A) the delivery of any officer’s certificate, opinion or letter of counsel or accountants’ letter pursuant to this Section 2(l) 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 officer’s certificates, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letters as provided in Sections 3(a)(xii), 3(a)(xiii) and 3(a)(xiv), respectively, hereof, and (B) this Section 2(l) shall in no way affect or limit the operation of clause (i) of Section 2(k) hereof, which shall have independent application.

(m) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that either (i) a Forward Purchaser is unable to borrow and deliver a number of Shares equal to the Forward Hedge Amount for sale under this Agreement, as set forth in the relevant Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance), or (ii) in the commercially reasonable judgment of a Forward Purchaser, it is either impracticable to do so or the Forward Purchaser would incur a stock loan cost that is equal to or greater than 200 basis points per annum to do so, then the applicable Agent, as forward seller, shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell only the aggregate number of Forward Hedge Shares that such Forward Purchaser is able to, and that in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Forward Purchaser it is practicable to, so borrow below such cost. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of any Agent or Forward Purchaser hereunder with respect to the borrowing of or offer or sale of any Forward Hedge Shares in connection with a forward stock purchase transaction shall be subject to the related Confirmation being effective and not having been terminated.

3. Further Agreements of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Agents and Forward Purchasers.

(a) The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, covenant and agree with each Agent and each Forward Purchaser, as follows:

(i) Neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership shall make any further amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement (other than in connection with the offering of securities other than the Shares), any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, except as provided herein; the Company shall (A) advise the Agents and the Forward Purchasers of the time when any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been filed and furnish the Agents and the Forward Purchasers with copies thereof (which may be electronic copies); (B) advise the Agents and the Forward Purchasers of the time that any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective; (C) promptly advise the Agents and the Forward Purchasers if the Company is unable to file any reports, any definitive proxy or information statements or other documents required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15 of the 1934 Act subsequent to the date of this Agreement in the manner and within the time periods required by the 1934 Act, or file any such documents, on a timely basis, with the Exchange; (D) advise the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any order or notice preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or of any proceedings to remove, suspend or terminate

from listing or quotation the Class A Common Shares from any securities exchange upon which it is listed for trading or included or designated for quotation, or of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any exemption relating to) the Shares for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction, or of the threatening or initiation of any proceeding or examination known to the Company for any of the foregoing purposes, 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, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including, without limitation, any document incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing) or for additional or supplemental information or the receipt of any other comments from the Commission (in each case, excluding correspondence relating to comment letters on the Registration Statement from the Commission not directly relating to this Agreement, of which the Company shall promptly advise Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel for the Agents and the Forward Purchasers); and (E) in the event of the issuance of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or suspending any such qualification, registration or exemption, promptly use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the lifting or reversal of such order or notice at the earliest possible moment, or, subject to Section 3(a)(v), file an amendment to the Registration Statement or file a new registration statement and use its reasonable best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.

(ii) If, during any period when the delivery of a prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, a notice pursuant to Rule 173 under the 1933 Act Regulations) is required in connection with the offering or sale of Shares (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the 1933 Act Regulations or where such delivery may be required under Rule 173(d) under the 1933 Act Regulations) (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), any event or development shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Disclosure Package or 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 or advisable to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (including, without limitation, any document incorporated by reference in any of them) or to file under the 1934 Act any document incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or to file a new registration statement containing the Prospectus, in order to comply with the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or other applicable law, including in connection with the delivery of the Prospectus, the Company shall notify the Agents and the Forward Purchasers of any such event or condition, and, promptly prepare and (subject to Section 3(a)(v)) file with the Commission (and use its reasonable best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or any new registration statement be declared effective) and furnish without charge to the

Agents and the Forward Purchasers and to any dealer in securities as many copies (which may be electronic copies) as any Agent or Forward Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request of any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any new registration statement, necessary in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or so that the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented will comply with applicable law.

(iii) The Company will deliver promptly to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers and to their counsel, without charge, a signed copy (which may be an electronic copy) of the Registration Statement and each amendment to the Registration Statement filed with the Commission, including all consents and exhibits filed therewith. The Company will deliver promptly to any Agent or Forward Purchaser, without charge, such number of the following documents as such Agent or Forward Purchaser shall reasonably request (which may be electronic copies): (A) conformed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed with the Commission and each amendment thereto (in each case excluding exhibits other than this Agreement and the computation of per share earnings), (B) each preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto and (C) each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(iv) The Company shall pay the applicable Commission filing fees relating to the Shares within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) of 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.

(v) Prior to filing with the Commission any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (other than (1) an amendment made by the filing of any report or other document under Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, (2) an amendment made with the purpose of adding additional guarantors to the Registration Statement or reflecting reorganizations or other changes in corporate form of any existing registrants, or (3) by a prospectus supplement relating to the offering of securities other than the Shares (including, without limitation, other Class A Common Shares)), the Company shall furnish a copy thereof (which maybe an electronic copy) to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers (or, in the case of any such preliminary prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus relating solely to an offering of Shares pursuant to a Terms Agreement, to the Agent or Agents party to such Terms Agreement) and their counsel, and the Company shall not file or use any such proposed amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to which any Agent or Forward Purchaser reasonably objects (or, in the case of any preliminary prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus relating solely to an offering of Shares pursuant to a Terms Agreement, to which any Agent party to such Terms Agreement reasonably objects).

(vi) The Company represents that it has not made, and agrees not to make, any offer relating to the Shares that constitutes or would constitute an issuer free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 433(h) of the 1933 Act Regulations) or that otherwise constitutes or would constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) or a portion thereof required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 under the 1933 Act, without the prior written consent of each Agent and each Forward Purchaser (except, in the case of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus relating solely to an offering of Shares pursuant to a Terms Agreement, only the prior written consent of the Agent or Agents party to such Terms Agreement shall be required).

(vii) The Company has complied and will comply with all applicable requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the 1933 Act Regulations with respect to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus with respect to the Shares, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping. If, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, any event or development shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in order to comply with the 1933 Act or other applicable law, the Company shall notify the Agents and the Forward Purchasers of any such event or condition, and, promptly prepare and, subject to Section 3(a)(v), file with the Commission and furnish without charge to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, and to any dealer in securities as many copies as any Agent or Forward Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request of an amendment or supplement to such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that will correct such conflict or make the statements in the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as so amended or supplemented, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or so that such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as amended or supplemented will comply with applicable law.

(viii) As soon as practicable after each Effective Date (it being understood that the Company shall have until at least 405 days or, if the fourth quarter following the fiscal quarter that includes the Effective Date is the last fiscal quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, 440 days after the end of the Company’s current fiscal quarter), to make generally available to the Company’s security holders and to deliver to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers an earnings statement of the Company and its subsidiaries (which need not be audited) complying with Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 under the 1933 Act Regulations); provided that the foregoing delivery requirements will be deemed satisfied if the foregoing materials are available on the Commission’s EDGAR system or on the Company’s website within the applicable time period specified above.

(ix) The Company shall promptly, from time to time, take such action as any Agent or Forward Purchaser may reasonably request to qualify the Shares and any Confirmation Shares for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as such Agent or Forward Purchaser, as applicable, may reasonably designate and shall maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required to permit the continuance of the sales and dealings therein in such jurisdictions for as long as may be necessary to complete the sale of the Shares; provided, however, that in connection therewith the Company shall not be obligated to take any action that would subject it to general 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, other than those arising out of the offering of Shares in any jurisdiction in which it is now subject.

(x) At each Applicable Time, each Delivery Date, each Registration Statement Amendment Date (as defined below), each date on which the Company or the Operating Partnership 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”), the date of each Terms Agreement to which any Agent is a party and each time notice of rescission of a Suspension shall have been given as contemplated by Section 2(f), the Company and the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to have jointly and severally affirmed each representation, warranty, covenant and other agreement of the Company and/or the Operating Partnership contained in this Agreement, but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented as of such date.

(xi) Except during any Suspension, the Company will cooperate timely with any reasonable due diligence review conducted by an Agent or a Forward Purchaser or their counsel from time to time in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Confirmation or any Terms Agreement, as applicable, including, without limitation, and upon reasonable notice providing information and making available documents and appropriate officers, during regular business hours and at the Company’s principal offices, as such Agent or Forward Purchaser may reasonably request.

(xii) Prior to or upon the First Offering Date, each Delivery Date of any Shares sold to an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, each time an Agent or a Forward Purchaser shall reasonably request upon reasonable advance notice and, in each case subsequent to the First Offering Date, promptly after each (A) 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, offering or sale of the Shares, (2) in connection with the filing of any

report or other document under Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, or (3) by a prospectus supplement relating to the offering of other securities (including, without limitation, other Class A Common Shares)) or filed pursuant to Section 3(a)(xxviii) (each such date, a “Registration Statement Amendment Date”) and (B) Company Periodic Report Date, and each time notice of rescission of a Suspension shall have been given as contemplated by Section 2(f), the Company and the Operating Partnership will furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers a Certificate dated the date of delivery thereof, in the form set forth as Exhibit A (and including any changes proposed by the Company reasonably satisfactory to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers), but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented, and to the documents incorporated by reference into any preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus, through such date of delivery thereof. As used in this paragraph, to the extent there shall be an Applicable Time on or within one business day following the date referred to in clause (A) or (B) above, promptly shall be deemed to be on or prior to such Applicable Time; provided that this sentence shall not be applicable with respect to deliveries required on the Delivery Date of any Shares sold to an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall not apply during any Suspension.

(xiii) Prior to or upon the First Offering Date, each Delivery Date of any Shares sold to an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, each time an Agent or a Forward Purchaser shall reasonably request upon reasonable advance notice and, in each case subsequent to the First Offering Date, promptly after each (A) Registration Statement Amendment Date and (B) Company Periodic Report Date, and each time notice of rescission of a Suspension shall have been given as contemplated by Section 2(f), the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers and their counsel (x) the written opinions and negative assurance letter of counsel to the Company, dated the date of delivery thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, and (y) the written opinion of special tax counsel to the Company, dated the date of delivery thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented, and to the documents incorporated by reference into any preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus, through the date of such opinions and letter or, in lieu of any such opinion or letter, counsel last furnishing an opinion or letter to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers under this clause (xiii) shall furnish the Agents and the Forward Purchasers with a letter substantially to the effect that the Agents and the Forward Purchasers may rely on the last opinion or letter so delivered by such counsel to the same extent as though each were dated the date of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance (except that such letter authorizing reliance shall state that the statements in such last opinion or letter shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented, and to the

documents incorporated by reference into any preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus, through the date of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance).

(C) (i) there shall not have occurred a downgrading in the rating assigned to any of the Company’s securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the 1934 Act) and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Company’s securities.

(j) The Exchange shall have approved the Shares and any Confirmation Shares for listing, subject only to official notice of issuance, and satisfactory evidence of such action shall have been provided to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers.

Each Agent and each Forward Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Company’s directors, and each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, 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, and the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, Affiliates and agents of the Company, the Operating Partnership 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, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section 6, 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, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any road show in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agent 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 (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) 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 6(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the applicable Agents and any applicable Forward Purchasers, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company, respectively. 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 (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), 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 6 or Section 7 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. 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.

(e) 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 pursuant to Section 6(c), such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by this Section 6 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.

7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 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 applicable Agent and any applicable Forward Purchaser, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares 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 applicable Agent and any applicable Forward Purchaser, 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 applicable Agent and any applicable Forward Purchaser, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds received by the Company from the offering of the Shares sold to or through the applicable Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreements (and, for purposes of the foregoing, the Company shall be deemed to have received net proceeds from the sale of Shares sold through any of the applicable Agent, acting as forward seller on behalf of a Forward Purchaser in connection with a Confirmation entered into

by such Forward Purchaser, in an amount equal to the proceeds that would have been received by the Company upon full physical settlement of the Confirmation Shares under such Confirmation, assuming that the aggregate amount payable by such Forward Purchaser to the Company for such Confirmation Shares is equal to the aggregate amount of net proceeds received by such Forward Purchaser from the sale of such Shares through such Agent) in each case before deducting expenses and before deducting any transaction fees, transfer taxes or other similar fees, taxes or charges of the nature referred to in Section 2(h) hereof), and the total commissions received by the applicable Agent and, in the case of any Shares purchased by any applicable Agent as principal, discounts received by such Agent under this Agreement and any applicable Terms Agreement to which such Agent is a party bear to the aggregate gross sales price of the Shares sold to or through the applicable Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any such Terms Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, the net proceeds received by a Forward Purchaser upon the sale of Shares by an Agent as forward seller shall be calculated as the gross proceeds from such sale minus the commission owed to such Agent, which commission, on a per share basis, shall be deemed to be equal to the percentage discount applied to the Initial Forward Price (as defined in the related Confirmation), and such commission amount shall also be deemed to be the commission received by such Agent for such sales.

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

The Company, the Operating Partnership, the Agents and the Forward Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the applicable Agent and Forward Purchaser 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 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 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 7, neither any Agent nor the affiliated Forward Purchaser, if any, shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the total commissions and discounts received by such Agent in connection with the Shares distributed by it 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 7, each person, if any, who controls any Agent or Forward Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Agent’s or Forward Purchaser’s respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Agent or Forward Purchaser, and each director of the Company and the Operating Partnership, each officer of the Company and the Operating Partnership who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls either the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, Affiliates and selling agents of the Company, Operating Partnership and ach person, if any, who controls either 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, respectively.

The provisions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement shall be in addition to, and shall not limit, any indemnification, contribution or similar provision set forth in any Confirmation.

The Company shall promptly notify the Agents and the Forward Purchasers of any automatic termination pursuant to this Section 8(c).

(d) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Section 8(a), (b) or (c) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided that any such termination by mutual agreement pursuant to this clause (d) shall in all cases be deemed to provide that, except that with respect to any pending instruction for sale through an Agent, as sales agent or as forward seller, and with respect to any pending sale to an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement and any offering or resale of any Shares purchased or to be purchased by an Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the obligations of the Company, including in respect of compensation of the Agents and any applicable Forward Purchasers, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination and the provisions of Section 1, Section 4, Section 6, Section 7, Section 8, Section 9, Section 10, Section 11, Section 12, Section 13, Section 14, Section 15, Section 18 and Section 20 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

Form of Due Diligence Protocol

for Primary Open Market Sales Program

Due Diligence Protocol

Regarding the Sales Agreement dated April 30, 2019 (the “Sales Agreement”)

by and among MGM Growth Properties LLC (the “Company”),

MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP, BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Credit

Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., Evercore Group L.L.C., Fifth Third Securities, Inc., Scotia

Capital (USA) Inc. and SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. (the “Agents”) and the

Forward Purchasers (as defined in the Sales Agreement)

Set forth below are guidelines for use by the Company and the Agents relating to the Agents’ continuous due diligence efforts (both on behalf of themselves and, if applicable, on behalf of the Forward Purchasers affiliated with the respective Agents) in connection with the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement:

In addition to the documents provided pursuant to Sections 5(d), (e), (f) and (h)(ii) of the Sales Agreement, the Agents expect to request that the Company conduct a due diligence call with business, financial and legal representatives to occur promptly following each Company Periodic Report Date and the Company will deliver information necessary to substantiate any market-related demographic or similar data appearing in the document being filed on such Company Periodic Report Date.

On or prior to the fifth business day following the date of the filing by the Company of 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, the Agents expect to request that the Company (i) conduct a due diligence call with business, financial and legal representatives to discuss, among other things, the financial position, business operations and results of operations for the month in which the Company Periodic Report Date occurs and (ii) provide a certificate referred to in Section 5(h)(ii) of the Sales Agreement.

During any week the Company intends to sell, or to request any Forward Purchaser to borrow and sell through its affiliated Forward Seller, Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Agents expect to request, and prior to any offering of Shares following a Suspension, the Agents may request, that the Company conduct a due diligence call with business, financial and legal representatives.

If the Company, the Operating Partnership and an Agent enter into a Terms Agreement in connection with a Principal Transaction, such Agent expects to request that the Company conduct a due diligence call prior to the execution of such Terms Agreement and on or prior to each Delivery Date for the applicable Shares.

In the event that an Agent is requested by the Company to sell on any one trading day an amount of Shares that would be equal to or greater than 25% of the average daily trading volume (calculated based on the previous 30 trading days) of the Company’s Class A Common Shares, such Agent expects to request that the Company (i) conduct a due diligence call with business, financial and legal representatives and (ii) provide a certificate in the form referred to in Section 5(h)(ii) of the Sales Agreement.

Annex A-1

An Agent will also require an email exchange each day that the Company intends to sell, or to request any Forward Purchaser to borrow and sell through its affiliated Forward Seller, Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement or Terms Agreement in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto confirming that each of the preliminary prospectus, if any, and the Prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

On or prior to each Delivery Date, the Company shall have furnished an Agent and, if applicable, a Forward Purchaser such documents and information reasonably requested by such Agent or, if applicable, such Forward Purchaser to confirm and verify any information and statistics included, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the preliminary prospectus, if any, and the Prospectus regarding, among other things, the industry, markets, submarkets and sectors in which the Company and the Operating Partnership may operate.

The foregoing is an expression of the Agents’ current intent only, may be changed at any time, does not purport to reflect all of the due diligence procedures that the Agents have performed or expect to perform, and shall not in any manner limit any Agent’s or Forward Purchaser’s rights under the Sales Agreement or any Terms Agreement or Confirmation, including any Agent’s or Forward Purchaser’s right to require such additional due diligence procedures as such Agent or Forward Purchaser may reasonably request pursuant to the Sales Agreement or any Terms Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of the Sales Agreement, each Terms Agreement, if any, and this due diligence protocol, the Agents, the Forward Purchasers, the Company and the Operating Partnership expect that no sales under the Sales Agreement or any Terms Agreement will be requested or made at any time the Company is in possession of material nonpublic information with respect to the Company. The Agents, the Company and the Operating Partnership expect that, subject to the limitations in the foregoing sentence and as may be mutually agreed upon by the Company, the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, offers and sales pursuant to the Sales Agreement or any Terms Agreement may be requested by the Company and made during the period that begins,

•

for the period immediately following execution and delivery of the Sales Agreement, on the first Trading Day after the Prospectus Supplement has been filed as and within the applicable period required by the Securities Act of 1933; and

•

for subsequent periods, 24 hours after the Filing Time of any subsequent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as and within the applicable period required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and

in either case, that ends on but excludes the date which is the 10^th business day prior to an Earnings Announcement.

Terms (whether or not capitalized) used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Sales Agreement.

(the “Agents”) and the Forward Purchasers (as defined in the Sales Agreement), to issue and sell to [•], one of the Agents under the Sales Agreement (“the Agent”), the number of the Company’s class A common shares representing limited liability company interests of the Company (the “Class A Common Shares”), specified in the Schedule 1 hereto (the “[Purchased] Securities”), [and to grant to the Agent the option to purchase all or any of the additional Class A Common Shares specified in the Schedule 1 hereto (the “Additional Securities” and, together with the Purchased Securities,] the “Securities”). Terms, whether or not capitalized, that are used herein but not defined and that are defined in the Sales Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Sales Agreement. [Provisions regarding Additional Securities and the definition of “Securities” to be revised, included or deleted, as applicable.]

[The Agent, shall have the right, at its option, to purchase from the Company all or a portion of the Additional Securities at the same purchase price per share to be paid by the Agent to the Company for the Purchased Securities; provided that the purchase price per share payable by the Agent for any Additional Securities shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and paid or payable on the Purchased Securities but not payable on such Additional Securities. This option may be exercised by the Agent at any time and from time to time and one or more times on or before the 30^th day following the date hereof, by written notice to the Company. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of shares of Additional Securities as to which the option is being exercised, and the date and time when the Additional Securities are to be delivered (each such date and time being herein referred to as an

“Option Closing Date”); provided, however, that an Option Closing Date shall not be earlier than the Delivery Date set forth on the Schedule 1 hereto nor earlier than the second business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised nor later than the fifth business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised unless otherwise agreed by the Company. Payment of the purchase price for the Additional Securities shall be made on the applicable Option Closing Date in the same manner and at the same office as the payment for the Purchased Securities. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that on any Option Closing Date the Company and the Operating Partnership shall be deemed to have jointly and severally reaffirmed, as of such Option Closing Date, mutatis mutandis, each representation, warranty, covenant and other agreement contained in the Sales Agreement.]

The Company and the Operating Partnership shall deliver or cause to be delivered each of the certificates, opinions and letters set forth in Sections 3(a)(xii), 3(a)(xiii) and 3(a)(xiv) of the Sales Agreement that are required to be delivered on the date of this Agreement, the Delivery Date set forth on the Schedule 1 hereto [and on any Option Closing Date] and, without limitation to the foregoing, the obligations of the Agent to purchase the Purchased Securities [and any Additional Securities that the Agent has elected to purchase pursuant to this Terms Agreement] shall be subject to the delivery of such documents, each of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in form and substance, and shall also be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5 of the Sales Agreement [and in the next succeeding paragraph].

[On or prior to the date of this Terms Agreement, the Company shall have furnished to the Agent agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”), each in the form set forth in Schedule 3 hereto, from the individuals listed on Schedule 2 hereto and each such Lock-Up Agreement shall be in full force and effect on the Delivery Date set forth in Schedule 2 hereto [and on any Option Closing Date]].

Each of the provisions of the Sales Agreement not specifically related to (a) the solicitation by the Agents, as agents of the Company, of offers to purchase Shares or (b) the Confirmations, Confirmation Shares and related transactions is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and shall be deemed to be part of this Terms Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein, mutatis mutandis. Each of the representations and warranties set forth in the Sales Agreement shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Terms Agreement, the Applicable Time relating to the offering contemplated by this Terms Agreement, the Delivery Date set forth on the Schedule 1 hereto [and each Option Closing Date], except that each representation, warranty and agreement in Section 1 of the Sales Agreement which makes reference to the preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus shall be deemed to be a representation, warranty and agreement as of the date of this Terms Agreement, the Applicable Time [and] [,] the Delivery Date [and each Option Closing Date] in relation to the preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as applicable, as amended and supplemented to such date.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement which are incorporated herein by reference as described above, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Agent and the latter agrees to purchase from the Company the number of shares of the Purchased Securities at the time and place and at the purchase price set forth in the Schedule 1 hereto [and, if the Agent shall exercise its option to purchase all or any of the Additional Securities as described above, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Agent and the Agent agrees to purchase from the Company such Additional Securities at the time and place specified pursuant to and at the purchase price set forth in this Terms Agreement.]

Annex B-2

[To be revised as needed—] During the period (the “Lock-up Period”) commencing on the date of this Terms Agreement and ending on the ●th day following the date of this Terms Agreement, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, (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 Class A Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Class A Common Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or file any registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to any of the foregoing, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing 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 Class A Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Shares, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Class A Common Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, other than:

(i) the issuance and sale of the Purchased Securities [and any Additional Securities] to the Agent, and the issuance and sale of Confirmation Shares to any Forward Purchasers pursuant to Confirmations entered into prior to the date of this Terms Agreement,

(ii) any Class A Common Shares 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,

(iii) any Class A Common Shares issued or options to purchase Class A Common Shares granted pursuant to employee benefit plans of the Company referred to in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus,

(iv) any Class A Common Shares issued pursuant to any non-employee director stock plan or dividend reinvestment plan referred to in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus,

(v) any direct or indirect offers, negotiations or discussions of transactions contemplating the issuance of Class A Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such Class A Common Shares in connection with the potential acquisition of property or assets, or the potential acquisition of, a joint venture with or a merger with another company,

(vi) the issuance of Operating Partnership Units pursuant to a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or

Annex B-3

(vii) the entry by the Company into a definitive agreement contemplating the issuance of any Class A Common Shares or any securities convertible or exercisable or exchangeable for such Class A Common Shares representing up to 10% of the outstanding Class A Common Shares on a fully diluted basis or, with the prior written consent of a nominee of the Agent, any Class A Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such Class A Common Shares representing greater than 10% of the outstanding Class A Common Shares on a fully diluted basis,

in each case, (1) in connection with the acquisition of property or assets, or the acquisition of, a joint venture with or a merger with another company, or (2) pursuant to any employee benefit plan assumed by the Company in connection with such acquisition, joint venture or merger, and in each such case the filing of a registration statement with respect to, and the making of any public announcement in respect of, or disclosing the intent to engage in, such acquisition, joint venture or merger and related issuance of securities; provided that, in the case of (1) and (2) of this clause (vi), any recipient of such securities representing greater than 10% of the outstanding Class A Common Shares on a fully diluted basis shall execute and deliver to the Agent a lock-up letter substantially to the effect set forth in Schedule 3, and, provided further, that in the case of issuances of securities to MGM or its affiliates pursuant to clause (vi), MGM, or such affiliates, shall further agree not to convert or exchange any of its Operating Partnership Units into Class A Common Shares until the expiration of the period referred to above, subject to the exceptions stated above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may establish or amend a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the 1934 Act for the transfer of the Class A Common Shares, provided that (A) such plan does not provide for the transfer of the Class A Common Shares during the period referred to above and (B) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the 1934 Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the Company regarding the establishment or amendment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Class A Common Shares may be made under such plan during the period referred to above.

The Agent shall have the right, by giving written notice as specified in the Sales Agreement, to terminate this Terms Agreement if at any time prior to the payment for, and delivery to the Agent of, the Securities on the Delivery Date specified on the Schedule 1 hereto [or, if Additional Securities are to be purchased on an Option Closing Date, to terminate the Agent’s obligation to purchase such Additional Securities on such Option Closing Date if at any time prior to the payment for, and delivery to the Agent of, such Additional Shares on such Option Closing Date] (i) there has been, since the date of this Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus or Disclosure Package, any Material Adverse Change, (i) trading or quotation in any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the Exchange; (ii) trading in securities generally on the Exchange shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such stock exchange by the Commission or FINRA; (iii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by federal or New York authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States has occurred; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Agent is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares in the manner and on the terms described

Annex B-4

in the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities. Except as otherwise provided in the Sales Agreement, any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company or the Operating Partnership to the Agent or (b) the Agent to the Company or the Operating Partnership.

If any condition specified in Section 5 of the Sales Agreement that is applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any condition specified in this Agreement is not satisfied when and as required to be satisfied, this Agreement may be terminated by the Agent by notice to the Company at any time on or prior to the payment for, and delivery to the Agent of, the Securities on the Delivery Date set forth on the Schedule 1 attached hereto [or, with respect to any Additional Securities that the Agent has elected to purchase, the Agent may, at any time prior to the payment for, and delivery to the Agent of, such Additional Shares on to the applicable Option Closing Date, terminate its obligation to purchase such Additional Securities], which termination shall be without liability on the part of any party to any other party, except as otherwise provided in the Sales Agreement or in this Agreement.

This Agreement and the Sales Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the Company and the Operating Partnership a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement between the Agent, the Company and the Operating Partnership in accordance with its terms.

THIS TERMS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE RELATING TO OR ARISING UNDER THIS TERMS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

New York, New York [•]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that [•] (“the Agent”) proposes to enter into a Terms Agreement (the “Terms Agreement”) with MGM Growth Properties LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), pursuant to which the Company will issue and sell to the Agent class A common shares representing limited liability company interests of the Company (the “Class A Common Shares”) on the terms and subject to the conditions stated therein and in the Sales Agreement dated April 30, 2019 (the “Sales Agreement”) between the Company, MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., Evercore Group L.L.C., Fifth Third Securities, Inc., Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. (the “Agents”) and the Forward Purchasers (as defined in the Sales Agreement). Terms, whether or not capitalized, that are used herein but not defined and that are defined in the Terms Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Terms Agreement.

In consideration of the agreement by the Agent to offer and sell the Securities, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with the Agent that, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that is • days from the date of the Terms Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, (i) except as permitted by the following paragraph, 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 of the Company’s Class A Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Company’s Class A Common Shares, including, without limitation, partnership units in the Operating Partnership (such partnership units therein, the “Operating Partnership Units”) 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 make any demand for, 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 publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition[; provided that this clause (i) shall not prohibit (a) any communications that MGM Resorts International (including its consolidated subsidiaries, with the exception of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, “MGM”) may have with third parties about potential real estate and other third party transactions, some or all of the consideration for which may consist of Lock-Up Securities, which communications shall not be considered “offers” for purposes of this clause (i), or (b) public disclosure by MGM of its intentions with respect to such Lock-Up Securities to the extent such public disclosure is consistent with prior public disclosure by MGM or considered appropriately responsive investor relations activity, in each case, as determined in good faith by MGM]³, 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, regardless of whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Class A Common Shares or such 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 Agent:

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

(ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); or

(iii) as a distribution to limited partners, members or stockholders of or other holders of equity interests in the undersigned or the estate of any of the foregoing; or

(iv) to a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity that controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the undersigned, or is wholly-owned by the undersigned and/or members of the undersigned’s immediate family; or

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

(vi) to a nominee or custodian or a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (i) through (v) above; or

(vii) with respect to Operating Partnership Units, as an exchange of Operating Partnership Units for Class A Common Shares as permitted or required by the limited liability company agreement of the Company in the manner set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; or

(viii) pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of Class A Common Shares involving a “change of control” (as defined below) of the Company occurring after the consummation of the Public Offering, that has been approved by the board of directors of the Company; provided that in the event that the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such

transaction is not completed, the undersigned’s Class A Common Shares shall remain subject to the terms of this agreement. For purposes of this clause (viii), “change of control” means the consummation of any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction the result of which is that any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or group of persons, other than the Company, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of 50% of total voting power of the voting stock of the Company[; or

(ix) to the Company or the Operating Partnership (or any of their respective subsidiaries), to the extent such Lock-Up Securities are held by MGM (or any of its subsidiaries)]⁴,

provided that in the case of any transfer, donation, exchange or distribution pursuant to clauses (i) through (vii) above, (1) the Agent 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) such transfers are not required to be reported with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 4 in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act (except with regards to a disposition by will or intestacy), and (4) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may establish or amend a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of the Class A Common Shares, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of the Class A Common Shares during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment or amendment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Class A Common Shares may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period.

Furthermore, during the Restricted Period, the undersigned may sell Class A Common Shares of the Company purchased by the undersigned on the open market following the date of the Terms Agreement if and only if (i) such sales are not required to be reported in any public report or filing with the Securities and 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.

This Confirmation, together with the Pricing Supplement, shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement (the “Agreement”) in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement as if we had executed an agreement in such form on the date of this Confirmation (but without any Schedule except for the elections that (i) the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement shall apply to both parties, with a “Threshold Amount” for Dealer equal to 3% of stockholders’ equity of [Dealer / Dealer’s Parent] and a “Threshold Amount” for Counterparty equal to USD 75,000,000, provided that (x) the words “, or becoming capable at such time of being declared,” shall be deleted from clause (1) thereof, (y) “Specified Indebtedness” has the meaning specified in Section 14 of the Agreement, except that such term shall not include obligations in respect of deposits received in the ordinary course of Dealer’s banking business and (z) the following language shall be added to the end of such Section 5(a)(vi): “Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under subsection (2) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default if (X) the default was caused solely by error or omission of an administrative or operational nature; (Y) funds were available to enable the party to make the payment when due; and (Z) the payment is made within two Local Business Days of such party’s receipt of written notice of its failure to pay;” (ii) the Credit Event Upon Merger provisions will apply to both parties, and (iii) Automatic Early Termination will not apply to either party, and with the other modifications and elections provided herein).

THIS CONFIRMATION (INCLUDING, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT) AND THE AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CHOICE OF LAW DOCTRINE. THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, AND ANY CLAIM OF INCONVENIENT FORUM WITH RESPECT TO, THESE COURTS. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT, THIS CONFIRMATION OR THIS TRANSACTION.

The parties hereby agree that, other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates and any other registered forward transactions entered into between Dealer and Counterparty (each, an “Additional Transaction”), no Transaction shall be governed by the Agreement.

If, in relation to this Transaction, there is any inconsistency between the Agreement, this Confirmation, the Pricing Supplement and the Equity Definitions, the following will prevail for purposes of such Transaction in the order of precedence indicated: (i) the Pricing Supplement; (ii) this Confirmation; (iii) the Equity Definitions; and (iv) the Agreement.

Forward Price:		(a) On the Hedge Completion Date, the Initial Forward Price; and

		(b) on each calendar day thereafter, (i) the Forward Price as of the immediately preceding calendar day multiplied by (ii) the sum of 1 and the Daily Rate for such day; provided that the Forward Price on each Forward Price Reduction Date shall be the Forward Price as determined in accordance with the foregoing for such date, minus the Forward Price Reduction Amount for such Forward Price Reduction Date.

		Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Counterparty delivers Shares hereunder on or after a Forward Price Reduction Date and at or before the record date for an ordinary cash dividend with an ex-dividend date corresponding to such Forward Price Reduction Date, the Calculation Agent shall adjust the Forward Price to the extent it determines, in good faith and its commercially reasonable discretion, that such an adjustment is practicable and appropriate to preserve the economic intent of the parties (taking into account Dealer’s commercially reasonable hedge positions in respect of this Transaction).

		Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term “Scheduled Closing Time” in the fourth line thereof.

Regulatory Disruption:		Any event that Dealer determines makes it reasonably necessary or appropriate with regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer) for Dealer to refrain from or decrease any market activity in connection with this Transaction.

		(a) designated by Counterparty as a “Settlement Date” by a written notice (a “Settlement Notice”) that satisfies the Settlement Notice Requirements and is delivered to Dealer no less than (i) two Scheduled Trading Days prior to such Settlement Date, if Physical Settlement applies, and (ii) [ ] Scheduled Trading Days prior to such Settlement Date, which may be the Maturity Date, if Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies; provided that, if Dealer (or its affiliate) shall fully unwind Dealer’s hedge with respect to the portion of the Number of Shares to be settled during an Unwind Period by a date that is more than one Settlement Cycle prior to a Settlement Date specified above, Dealer may, by written notice to Counterparty, specify any Scheduled Trading Day prior to such original Settlement Date as the Settlement Date; or


		(b) designated by Dealer as a Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8(b) below;

		provided that in each case the Maturity Date will be a Settlement Date if on such date the Number of Shares for which a Settlement Date has not already been designated is greater than zero; and provided further that, following the occurrence of at least three consecutive Disrupted Days during an Unwind Period and while such Disrupted Days are continuing, Dealer may designate any subsequent Scheduled Trading Day as the Settlement Date with respect to the portion of the Settlement Shares, if any, for which Dealer has determined an Unwind Purchase Price during such Unwind Period, it being understood that the Unwind Period with respect to the remainder of such Settlement Shares shall, subject to clause (ii) in “Settlement Method Election” below, recommence on the next succeeding Exchange Business Day that is not a Disrupted Day in whole.

		In addition to any other requirement set forth herein, Counterparty agrees not to designate, or to appropriately rescind or modify a prior designation of, any Settlement Date if it is notified by Dealer that, in the reasonable determination of Dealer, such settlement or Dealer’s related market activity in respect of such date would result, or is reasonably likely to result, in a violation of any applicable federal or state law or regulation, including the U.S. federal securities laws.

Settlement Shares:		(a) With respect to any Settlement Date other than the Maturity Date, the number of Shares designated as such by Counterparty in the relevant Settlement Notice or designated by Dealer pursuant Section 8(b) below, as applicable; provided that the Settlement Shares so designated shall (i) not exceed the Number of Shares at that time and (ii) in the case of a designation by Counterparty, be at least equal to the lesser of 300,000 and the Number of Shares at that time; and

		(b) with respect to the Settlement Date on the Maturity Date, a number of Shares equal to the Number of Shares at that time;

		in each case with the Number of Shares determined taking into account pending Settlement Shares.

Settlement Method Election:		Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement, or Net Share Settlement, at the election of Counterparty, as set forth in a Settlement Notice that satisfies the Settlement Notice Requirements; provided that Physical Settlement shall apply (i) if no Settlement Method is validly selected, (ii) with respect to any Settlement Shares in respect of which Dealer is unable, in good faith and in its commercially reasonable discretion, to unwind its hedge by the end of the Unwind Period (taking into account any Additional Transactions with overlapping “Unwind Periods” (as defined in the applicable Additional Confirmation)) (A) in a manner that, in the reasonable discretion of Dealer, is consistent with the requirements for qualifying for the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and would not raise material risks under applicable securities laws or (B) due to the occurrence of three Disrupted Days or to the lack of sufficient liquidity in the Shares on any Exchange Business Day during the Unwind Period, (iii) to any Termination Settlement Date (as defined under “Termination Settlement” in Section 8(b) below) and (iv) if the Maturity Date is a Settlement Date other than as the result of a valid Settlement Notice, in respect of such Settlement Date.



Settlement Notice Requirements:		Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, a Settlement Notice delivered by Counterparty that specifies Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement will not be effective to establish a Settlement Date or require Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement unless Counterparty delivers to Dealer with such Settlement Notice a representation, dated as of the date of such Settlement Notice and signed by Counterparty in the form set forth in paragraphs (c), (e) and (l) in Section 7 below.

Physical Settlement:		If Physical Settlement is applicable, then Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer through the Clearance System a number of Shares equal to the Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date, and Dealer shall pay to Counterparty, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Counterparty, an amount equal to the Physical Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date, on a delivery versus payment basis. If, on any Settlement Date, the Shares to be delivered by Counterparty to Dealer hereunder are not so delivered (the “Deferred Shares”), and a Forward Price Reduction Date occurs during the period from, and including, such Settlement Date to, but excluding, the date such Shares are actually delivered to Dealer, then the portion of the Physical Settlement Amount payable by Dealer to Counterparty in respect of the Deferred Shares shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Forward Price Reduction Amount for such Forward Price Reduction Date, multiplied by the number of Deferred Shares.

Physical Settlement Amount:		For any Settlement Date for which Physical Settlement is applicable, an amount equal to the product of (a) the Forward Price in effect on the relevant Settlement Date multiplied by (b) the Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date.

Cash Settlement:		On any Settlement Date in respect of which Cash Settlement applies, if the Cash Settlement Amount is a positive number, Dealer will pay the Cash Settlement Amount to Counterparty. If the Cash Settlement Amount is a negative number, Counterparty will pay the absolute value of the Cash Settlement Amount to Dealer. Such amounts shall be paid on such Settlement Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Cash Settlement Amount:		An amount determined by the Calculation Agent equal to:

		(a) (i)(A) the weighted average (weighted on the same basis as clause (B)) of the Forward Prices on each day during the applicable Unwind Period (calculated assuming no reduction to the Forward Price for any Forward Price Reduction Date that occurs during such Unwind Period, which is accounted for in clause (b) below), minus USD 0.03, minus (B) the weighted average price (the “Unwind Purchase Price”) at which Dealer (or its affiliate) purchases Shares during the Unwind Period to unwind Dealer’s hedge (or, if Net Share Settlement applies, to unwind all or a portion of Dealer’s hedge, including any purchases of Shares for delivery to Counterparty, in each case as determined by Dealer), in each case with respect to the portion of the Number of Shares to be settled during the Unwind Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, purchases on any Disrupted Day in part), taking into account the restrictions of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act agreed to hereunder, multiplied by (ii) the Settlement Shares for the relevant Settlement Date; minus



		(b) the product of (i) the Forward Price Reduction Amount for any Forward Price Reduction Date that occurs during such Unwind Period, and (ii) the number of Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date with respect to which Dealer has not unwound its hedge, including the settlement of such unwinds, as of such Forward Price Reduction Date.

Net Share Settlement:		On any Settlement Date in respect of which Net Share Settlement applies, if the Cash Settlement Amount is a (i) positive number, Dealer shall deliver a number of Shares to Counterparty equal to the Net Share Settlement Shares, or (ii) negative number, Counterparty shall deliver a number of Shares to Dealer equal to the Net Share Settlement Shares; provided that, if Dealer determines in its good faith judgment that it would be required to deliver Net Share Settlement Shares to Counterparty, Dealer may elect to deliver a portion of such Net Share Settlement Shares on one or more dates prior to the applicable Settlement Date.

Net Share Settlement Shares:		With respect to a Settlement Date, the absolute value of the Cash Settlement Amount divided by the applicable Unwind Purchase Price, with the number of Shares rounded up in the event such calculation results in a fractional number.

Unwind Period:		The period from and including the first Exchange Business Day following the date Counterparty validly elects Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement in respect of a Settlement Date for such Transaction through the date that is one Settlement Cycle preceding such Settlement Date, subject to “Termination Settlement” as described in Section 8(b) below.

Share Cap:		Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation, in no event will Counterparty be required to deliver to Dealer on any Settlement Date, whether pursuant to Physical Settlement, Net Share Settlement or any Private Placement Settlement, a number of Shares in excess of (i) 1.75 times the Initial Number of Shares, subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Confirmation or the Equity Definitions, minus (ii) the aggregate number of Shares delivered by Counterparty to Dealer hereunder prior to such Settlement Date.

Share Adjustments:

Method of Adjustment:		Calculation Agent Adjustment.

Potential Adjustment Event:		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.2(e) of the Equity Definitions, the declaration or payment of a cash dividend other than an Early Ordinary Dividend shall not constitute a Potential Adjustment Event.

Extraordinary Events:

Extraordinary Events:		In lieu of the applicable provisions contained in Article 12 of the Equity Definitions, the consequences of any Extraordinary Event, except any Extraordinary Event that also constitutes a Bankruptcy Termination Event (as defined below) and expressly excluding Failure to Deliver, Hedging Disruption, Increased Cost of Hedging and Increased Cost of Stock Borrow, shall be as specified below under the headings “Acceleration Events” in Section 8(a) and “Termination Settlement” in Section 8(b).

Tender Offer:		The definition of “Tender Offer” in Section 12.1(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by adding “, or of the outstanding Shares,” before “of the Issuer” in the fourth line thereof.

(o)

Reporting Requirements. To Counterparty’s knowledge, no federal, state or local (including non-U.S. jurisdictions) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares, other than Sections 13 and 16 under the Exchange Act or Article VIII of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of MGM Growth Properties LLC (the “LLC Operating Agreement”).

8. Other Provisions

(a)

Acceleration Events. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Acceleration Event”:

(i)

Stock Borrow Event. In the commercially reasonable judgment of Dealer, (A) Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer) is not able to hedge in a commercially reasonable manner its exposure under this Transaction because insufficient Shares are made available for borrowing by securities lenders or (B) Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer) would incur a cost to borrow (or to maintain a borrow of) Shares to hedge in a commercially reasonable manner its exposure under this Transaction that is greater than a rate equal to 200 basis points per annum (each, a “Stock Borrow Event”);

(ii)

Dividends and Other Distributions. On any day occurring after the Trade Date, Counterparty declares a distribution, issue or dividend to existing holders of the Shares of (A) any cash dividend (other than an Extraordinary Dividend) to the extent all cash dividends having an ex-dividend date during the period from, and including, any Forward Price Reduction Date (with the Trade Date being a Forward Price Reduction Date for purposes of this paragraph (ii) only) to, but excluding, the next subsequent Forward Price

Reduction Date exceed, on a per Share basis, the Forward Price Reduction Amount set forth opposite the first date of any such period on Schedule I (such cash dividend, an “Excess Dividend”), (B) any Extraordinary Dividend, (C) any share capital or other securities of another issuer acquired or owned (directly or indirectly) by Counterparty as a result of a spin-off or other similar transaction or (D) any other type of securities (other than Shares), rights or warrants or other assets, in any case for payment (cash or other consideration) at less than the prevailing market price, as determined in a commercially reasonable manner by Dealer; “Extraordinary Dividend” means any dividend or distribution (that is not an ordinary cash dividend) declared by the Issuer that, in the determination of Dealer, is (1) a dividend or distribution declared on the Shares at a time at which the Issuer has not previously declared or paid dividends or distributions on such Shares for the prior four quarterly periods, (2) a payment or distribution by the Issuer to holders of Shares that the Issuer announces will be an “extraordinary” or “special” dividend or distribution, (3) a payment by the Issuer to holders of Shares out of the Issuer’s capital and surplus or (4) any other “special” dividend or distribution that is, by its terms or declared intent, outside the normal course of operations or normal dividend policies or practices of the Issuer;

(iii)

ISDA Termination. Either Dealer or Counterparty has the right to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, in which case (except as otherwise specified herein and except as a result of an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) of the Agreement) the provisions of Section 8(b) below shall apply in lieu of the consequences specified in Section 6 of the Agreement;

(iv)

Stock Price Event. If any time after the Trade Date the traded price per Share on the Exchange is less than or equal to 50% of the Initial Forward Price;

(v)

Ownership Event. In the good faith judgment of Dealer, on any day, the Share Amount for such day exceeds the Post-Effective Limit for such day (if any applies) (each, an “Ownership Event”). The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or stock exchange rules (other than any obligations under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case, as in effect on the Trade Date) or Counterparty constituent document that for any reason is, or after the Trade Date becomes, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Provisions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership of under the Applicable Provisions, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “Post-Effective Limit” means (x) the minimum number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or would result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under the Applicable Provisions, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (y) 1.0% of the number of Shares outstanding; or

(vi)

Other ISDA Events. The occurrence of an Announcement Date in respect of any Merger Event, Tender Offer, Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting, or the occurrence of any Change in Law.

(b)

Termination Settlement. Upon the occurrence of any Acceleration Event, Dealer shall have the right to designate, upon at least one Scheduled Trading Day’s notice, any Scheduled Trading Day following such occurrence to be a Settlement Date hereunder (a “Termination Settlement Date”) to which Physical Settlement shall apply, and to select the number of Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date; provided that (i) in the case of an Acceleration Event arising out of an Ownership Event, the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Dealer shall not exceed the number of Shares necessary to reduce the Share Amount to reasonably below the Post-Effective

Limit and (ii) in the case of an Acceleration Event arising out of a Stock Borrow Event, the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Dealer shall not exceed the number of Shares as to which such Stock Borrow Event exists. If, upon designation of a Termination Settlement Date by Dealer pursuant to the preceding sentence, Counterparty fails to deliver the Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date when due or otherwise fails to perform obligations within its control in respect of this Transaction, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty and Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply. If an Acceleration Event occurs during an Unwind Period relating to a number of Settlement Shares to which Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies, then on the Termination Settlement Date relating to such Acceleration Event, notwithstanding any election to the contrary by Counterparty, Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement shall apply to the portion of the Settlement Shares relating to such Unwind Period as to which Dealer has unwound its hedge and Physical Settlement shall apply in respect of (x) the remainder (if any) of such Settlement Shares and (y) the Settlement Shares designated by Dealer in respect of such Termination Settlement Date. If an Acceleration Event occurs after Counterparty has designated a Settlement Date to which Physical Settlement applies but before the relevant Settlement Shares have been delivered to Dealer, then Dealer shall have the right to cancel such Settlement Date and designate a Termination Settlement Date in respect of such Shares pursuant to the first sentence hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Nationalization or Merger Event, if at the time of the relevant Settlement Date the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property, the Calculation Agent shall adjust the nature of the Shares as it determines appropriate to account for such change such that the nature of the Shares is consistent with what shareholders receive in such event.

(c)

Private Placement Procedures. If Counterparty is unable to comply with the provisions of Section 6(c) above because of a change in law or a change in the policy of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff, or Dealer otherwise determines that in its reasonable opinion any Shares to be delivered to Dealer (or its affiliate) by Counterparty may not be freely returned by Dealer (or its affiliate) to securities lenders as described under such Section 6(c), or otherwise constitute “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then delivery of any such Shares (the “Restricted Shares”) shall be effected as provided below, unless waived by Dealer.

(i)

If Counterparty delivers the Restricted Shares pursuant to this clause (i) (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Counterparty shall be effected in accordance with private placement procedures customary for private placements of equity securities of substantially similar size with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Counterparty may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Counterparty to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer), and if Counterparty fails to deliver the Restricted Shares when due or otherwise fails to perform obligations within its control in respect of a Private Placement Settlement, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty and Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply. The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements of equity securities of a substantially similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall, in its good faith discretion, adjust the amount of Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder in a commercially reasonable manner to reflect the fact that such Restricted Shares may not be freely returned to securities lenders by Dealer and may only be saleable by Dealer at a discount to reflect the lack of liquidity in Restricted Shares. Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Clearance System Business Day following notice by Dealer to Counterparty of the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the date that would otherwise be applicable.

(ii)

If Counterparty delivers any Restricted Shares in respect of this Transaction, Counterparty agrees that (A) such Shares may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and (B) after the minimum “holding period” within the meaning of Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act has elapsed, Counterparty shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for the Shares to remove, any legends referring to any transfer restrictions from such Shares upon delivery by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Counterparty or such transfer agent of any seller’s and broker’s representation letters customarily delivered by Dealer or its affiliates in connection with resales of restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, each without any further requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer).

(d)

Indemnity. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Dealer and each such affiliate or person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint and several, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party arising out of, in connection with, or relating to, the execution or delivery of this Confirmation, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations under this Transaction, any breach or alleged breach of any covenant or representation made by Counterparty in this Confirmation or the Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. Counterparty also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability to Counterparty or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Counterparty in connection with or as a result of any matter referred to in this Confirmation except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by Counterparty are determined in a final and nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Dealer’s negligence, fraud, bad faith and/or willful misconduct or from a breach of any representation or covenant of Dealer contained in this Confirmation or the Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8(d) shall survive any termination or completion of this Transaction and any assignment, transfer and/or delegation of this Transaction made pursuant to the Agreement or this Confirmation shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee or transferee of Dealer.

(e)

Designation by Dealer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing Dealer to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, Dealer may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Dealer obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty only to the extent of any such performance.

(f)

Insolvency Filing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Agreement or in the Equity Definitions, upon any Insolvency Filing or other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Issuer (a “Bankruptcy Termination Event”), this Transaction shall automatically terminate on the date thereof without further liability of either party to this Confirmation to the other party (except for any liability in respect of any breach of representation or covenant by a party under this Confirmation or the Agreement prior to the date of such Insolvency Filing or other proceeding), it being understood that this Transaction is a contract for the issuance of Shares by the Issuer.

(g)

Right to Extend. Dealer may postpone any Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery, with respect to some or all of the relevant Settlement Shares, if Dealer determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

(h)

Counterparty Share Repurchases. Counterparty agrees not to repurchase, directly or indirectly, any Shares if, immediately following such purchase, the Outstanding Share Percentage would be equal to or greater than 8% of the number of then-outstanding Shares or such lower number of Shares as Dealer notifies Counterparty would, in its reasonable judgment of Dealer’s counsel, present legal or regulatory issues for Dealer or its affiliates. The “Outstanding Share Percentage” as of any day is the fraction (a) the numerator of which is the aggregate of (i) the Number of Shares for this Transaction, (ii) the “Number of Shares” (as defined in the applicable Additional Confirmation) under any outstanding Additional Transactions, and (iii) the “Number of Shares” (however defined) under all other Forward Contracts (as defined in the Sales Agreement) and (b) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

(i)

Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer shall not have the right to acquire Shares hereunder and Dealer shall not be entitled to take delivery of any Shares hereunder (in each case, whether in connection with the purchase of Shares on any Settlement Date or any Termination Settlement Date, any Private Placement Settlement or otherwise) to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares hereunder, (i) the Share Amount would exceed the Post-Effective Limit, (ii) Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, including any “group” of which Dealer or its affiliates is a part, (the “Dealer Group”) would directly or indirectly beneficially own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 8% of the then outstanding Shares (the “Threshold Number of Shares”), (iii) Dealer would hold 5% or more of the number of Shares or 5% or more of Counterparty’s outstanding voting power as of the Trade Date (the “Exchange Limit”), or (iv) such acquisition would result in a violation of any restriction on ownership and transfers set forth in Article VIII of the LLC Operating Agreement (the “Counterparty Stock Ownership Restriction”). Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, (i) the Share Amount would exceed the Post-Effective Limit, (ii) the Dealer Group would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares, (iii) Dealer would directly or indirectly hold in excess of the Exchange Limit, or (iv) such delivery would result in a violation of the Counterparty Stock Ownership Restriction. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterparty’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Scheduled Trading Day after, Dealer gives notice to Counterparty that, after such delivery, (i) the Share Amount would not exceed the Post-Effective Limit, (ii) the Dealer Group would not directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares, (iii) Dealer would not directly or indirectly hold in excess of the Exchange Limit, or (iv) such delivery would not result in a violation of the Counterparty Stock Ownership Restriction, as applicable.

In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the immediately preceding paragraph, Dealer shall be permitted to make any payment due in respect of such Shares to Counterparty in two or more tranches that correspond in amount to the number of Shares delivered by Counterparty to Dealer pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph.

Counterparty represents and warrants to, and agrees with Dealer that, ownership positions of Counterparty’s common stock held by Dealer or any of its affiliates solely in its capacity as a nominee or fiduciary (where Dealer and such affiliates have no economic interest in such positions) do not constitute “ownership” by Dealer, and Dealer shall not be deemed or treated as the beneficial or constructive “owner” of such positions, in each case, for purposes of Article VIII of the LLC Operating Agreement, except for purposes of Section 8.1(d) thereof, and Counterparty shall interpret the LLC Operating Agreement in accordance with the foregoing.

Dealer represents and warrants that, as of the Trade Date, if Dealer received the maximum number of Shares hereunder assuming both (i) Physical Settlement applies and (ii) no restrictions on the delivery of Shares hereunder were applicable, then the Counterparty Stock Ownership Restriction would not apply so as to limit the number of Shares that Dealer could receive hereunder.

(j)

Other Forward(s). Counterparty agrees that (x) it shall not cause to occur, or permit to exist, any Forward Hedge Selling Period at any time there is (1) a “Forward Hedge Selling Period” (or equivalent concept) relating to any other issuer forward sale or similar transaction (including, without limitation, any “Transaction” under (as and defined under) any substantially identical confirmation) with any financial institution other than Dealer (an “Other Forward Transaction”), (2) any “Unwind Period” (or equivalent concept) hereunder or under any Other Forward Transaction or (3) any other period in which Counterparty directly or indirectly issues and sells Shares pursuant to an underwriting agreement (or similar agreement including, without limitation, any equity distribution or sales agreement) (such period, a “Selling Period”) that Counterparty enters into with any financial institution other than Dealer, and (y) Counterparty shall not cause to occur, or permit to exist, an Unwind Period at any time there is an “Unwind Period” (or equivalent concept) under any Other Forward Transaction, a “Forward Hedge Selling Period” (or equivalent concept) relating to any Other Forward Transaction, or any Selling Period.
