Ladies and Gentlemen:

Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), proposes to sell to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (the “Underwriter”) 2,750,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). The Company also proposes to sell at the Underwriter’s option an aggregate of up to 412,500 additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Option Shares,” and together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”) as set forth below.

In consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and of the interests of the parties in the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Representations and Warranties of the Company.

The Company represents and warrants to the Underwriter as follows:

(a) The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-198664) covering the registration of the Shares and certain other securities of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Within the time period required by Rule 424 of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”), the Company will prepare and file a prospectus supplement in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B (“Rule 430B”) of the 1933 Act Regulations and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 (“Rule 424(b)”) of the 1933 Act Regulations. Any information included in such prospectus supplement that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of and included in such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B is referred to as “Rule 430B Information.” Each prospectus and prospectus supplement used in connection with the offering of the Shares that omitted Rule 430B Information is herein called a “preliminary prospectus.” Such registration statement, at any given time, together with the amendments thereto at such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act at such time, the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the 1933 Act Regulations at such time and the Rule 430B Information, are herein called, collectively, the “Registration Statement.” Any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations is herein referred to as the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,” and after such filing the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. The final prospectus and prospectus supplement in the form first furnished (electronically or otherwise) to the Underwriter for use in connection with the offering of the Shares (whether to meet the requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the 1933 Act Regulations or otherwise) or, if not furnished to the Underwriter, in the form first filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b), together with the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act at the time of execution of this Agreement is herein called the “Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”).

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be.

(b) The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act. 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 has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with.

(c) At the respective times the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto became or becomes effective, at each deemed effective date of the Registration Statement with respect to the Underwriter pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations and at the Closing Date (as defined below) (and, if any Option Shares are purchased, at the applicable Option Closing Date (as defined below)), the Registration Statement complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(d) The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement was issued and at the Closing Date (and, if any Option Shares are purchased, at the applicable Option Closing Date), complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and did not and will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(e) Each preliminary prospectus (including any prospectus or prospectuses filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective or any amendment thereto), complied when so filed in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriter for use in connection with the offering of the Shares was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(f) As of the Initial Sale Time (as defined below), neither (x) the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus(es) (as defined below) issued at or prior to the Initial Sale Time and the preliminary prospectus, as most recently amended or supplemented immediately prior to the Initial Sale Time (collectively, the “Disclosure Package”), nor (y) any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below), when considered together with the Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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.

Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Shares or until any earlier date that the issuer notified or notifies the Underwriter as described in Section 3(c) hereof, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package 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.

The representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use therein (the “Underwriter’s Information”). The parties acknowledge and agree that the Underwriter’s Information consists solely of the material included in Section 11 hereof.

(i) The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus 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 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations or the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “1934 Act Regulations”), as applicable, and, when read together with the other information in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (a) at the time the Registration Statement became effective, (b) at the earlier of the time any preliminary prospectus was first used and the Initial Sale Time and (c) at the Closing Date (and, if any Option Shares are purchased, at each Option Closing Date), did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(ii) 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 of the 1933 Act Regulations.

(g) Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (as defined below) that is a “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X) has been duly incorporated or formed, as the case may be, and is validly existing as a corporation, limited liability company or partnership in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation and has power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and, in the case of the Company, to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, (a) result in a material adverse change, or any development that would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change, in or to the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business, operations, management or business prospects, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, of the Company and the Subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, (b) adversely affect the issuance, validity or enforceability of the Shares or (c) adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any of (a), (b) or (c), a “Material Adverse Change”). All of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each Subsidiary of the Company that is a corporation have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, claim, restriction or encumbrance. All corporations, partnerships, associations, limited liability companies and other entities owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company are set forth in Schedule II hereto (the “Subsidiaries”). The Company has no “significant subsidiaries” (as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X) other than the significant subsidiaries indicated on Schedule II hereto.

(h) The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company as of April 30, 2016 is as set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Capitalization” (and any similar section or information contained in the Disclosure Package and Prospectus (other than for subsequent issuances, if any, described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus pursuant to employee benefit plans, pursuant to the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, pursuant to the redemption or exchange of outstanding securities issued by the Company or any Subsidiary or pursuant to the Company’s current dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”)). The capital stock (including the Common Stock) conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and have been issued in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. The Shares have been duly authorized and when issued and paid for as contemplated herein will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. None of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company was issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. There are no authorized or outstanding options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries other than those described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The description of the Company’s stock option, stock bonus and other stock plans or arrangements, and of the options or other rights granted thereunder, set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, fairly and accurately presents the material terms and provisions of such plans, arrangements, options and rights. Neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement gives rights, other than those which have been waived or satisfied, for or relating to the registration of any shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock and common stock of the Company are duly listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

(i) The Company has not, directly or indirectly, distributed and will not distribute any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares other than any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and other materials, if any, permitted under the 1933 Act and Section 3(b) hereof.

(j) The consolidated financial statements of the Company, together with the related notes and schedules, as set forth or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, present fairly the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Company, at the indicated dates and for the indicated periods. Such financial statements and related schedules have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except as disclosed therein, and all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods have been made. The summary and selected consolidated financial and statistical data included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus presents fairly the information shown therein and such data has been compiled on a basis consistent with the financial statements presented therein and the books and records of the Company. The combined statement of revenues and certain expenses of the New Jersey Properties (the “Acquired Properties”) for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, present fairly the revenue and certain expenses of the Acquired Properties and have been prepared in accordance with the applicable requirements of Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X. The pro forma financial information and the related notes thereto included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus present fairly the information shown therein and have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, and the assumptions underlying such pro forma financial information are reasonable and the adjustments used therein are appropriate to give effect to the transactions and circumstances referred to therein. All disclosures contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the 1933 Act Regulations) comply with Regulation G under the 1934 Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the 1933 Act, to the extent applicable. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not have any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent (including any off-balance sheet obligations or any “variable interest entities” within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 810-10), not disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. There are no financial statements (historical or pro forma) that are required to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus that are not included or incorporated by reference as required. The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto.

(k) PKF O’Connor Davies, a division of O’Connor Davies, LLP (“PKF”), who have certified certain of the financial statements filed with the Commission as part of, or incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, is an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company and the Subsidiaries within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the applicable 1933 Act Regulations and the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”).

(l) There are no contracts or documents which are material to the Company, which are not described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The contracts so described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company or one or more of the Subsidiaries, constitute valid and binding agreements of the Company or one or more of the Subsidiaries, and are enforceable against and by the Company or one or more of the Subsidiaries in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity. Neither the Company, the Subsidiaries, nor, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, any other party is in material breach of, or material default under, any such contracts.

(m) Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is aware of any (i) material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting or (ii) change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(n) Solely to the extent that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission and the New York Stock Exchange thereunder (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) has been applicable to the Company, there is and has been no failure on the part of the Company to comply in all material respects with any provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company has taken all necessary actions to ensure that it is in compliance with all provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that are in effect and with which the Company is required to comply.

(o) No material labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, threatened or imminent.

(p) The Company and each of the Subsidiaries owns or leases all such properties as are necessary to its operations as now conducted or as proposed to be conducted as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except where the failure to so own or lease, individually or together with all such other failures, would not result in a Material Adverse Change. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all of the Properties (as defined below) and other assets of the Company, free and clear of all security interests, mortgages, pledges, liens, claims, restrictions or encumbrances of any kind, except such as (a) are described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or (b) do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect the value of such Property or assets and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such Property or assets. All security interests, mortgages, pledges, liens, claims, restrictions and encumbrances of any kind on or affecting the Properties or the other assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries that are required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are disclosed therein. There is no violation by the Company or any Subsidiary of any municipal, state or federal law, rule or regulation (including, but not limited to, those pertaining to environmental matters) concerning the Properties or any part thereof which would result in a Material Adverse Change. Each of the Properties complies in all material respects with all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, regulations and deed restrictions or other covenants and, if and to the extent there is a failure to comply, such failure would not, individually or together with all such other failures, result in a Material Adverse Change or result in a forfeiture or reversion. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has received any written notice from any governmental or regulatory authority or agency of any condemnation of or zoning change materially affecting the Properties or any part thereof, and the Company does not know of any such condemnation or zoning change which is threatened. The leases, agreements to purchase and mortgages to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party, and, to the knowledge of the Company, the guaranties of third parties (a) are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and, to the knowledge of the Company, of all other parties thereto, and the Company knows of no default currently existing with respect thereto which would result in a Material Adverse Change, and (b) conform to the descriptions thereof set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Each mortgage that the Company or any of the Subsidiaries holds on the properties described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus constitutes a valid mortgage lien for the benefit of the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, on such property.

(q) Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the mortgages and deeds of trust encumbering the Properties and any other assets described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are not convertible into equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary and none of the Company, any of the Subsidiaries, or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other person affiliated therewith holds a participating interest therein, and such mortgages and deeds of trust are not cross-defaulted or cross-collateralized to any property not owned directly or indirectly by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

(r) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is (a) in breach of, or in default under, nor has any event occurred which with notice, lapse of time, or both would constitute a breach of or default under (“Default”), or in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any license, lease, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any of them or their respective properties is bound (each, an “Existing Instrument”), except for such Defaults which would not result in a Material Adverse Change, (b) in violation of its respective articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of limited partnership or partnership agreement, certificate of formation or articles of association, or limited liability company or operating agreement, as the case may be, or (c) in violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, except for such violations which would not result in a Material Adverse Change. The Company’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (a) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and will not result in any violation of the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, or By-Laws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, (b) will not conflict with or constitute a Default (as defined above) or Debt Repayment Triggering Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to, any Existing Instrument, and (c) will not result in any violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets. No consent, approval, authorization designation, declaration or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency, is required for the Company’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except (a) such as have been obtained or made by the Company and are in full force and effect under the 1933 Act, (b) such as may be required under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (c) the filing of a final prospectus supplement relating to the Shares with the Commission, (d) such approvals as may be required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), and (e) the filing of the listing application applicable to the Shares with the New York Stock Exchange.

As used herein, a “Debt Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition which gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would give, the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

(s) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus: (a) there has been no Material Adverse Change; (b) the Company and the Subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, have not incurred any material liability or obligation, indirect, direct or contingent, not in the ordinary course of business, nor entered into any material transaction or agreement not in the ordinary course of business; (c) there has been no material casualty loss or condemnation or other material adverse event with respect to the real properties owned by the Company and the Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Properties”); and (d) there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company or, except for dividends or distributions paid to the Company or the Subsidiaries, any of the Subsidiaries on any class of capital stock or other equity interests, or any repurchase or redemption by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries of any class of capital stock or other equity interests.

(t) The Company and the Subsidiaries own or possess sufficient trademarks, trade names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, licenses, approvals, trade secrets and other similar rights (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”) reasonably necessary to conduct their businesses as now conducted or as proposed to be conducted as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and the expected expiration of any of such Intellectual Property Rights would not result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has knowledge that it has infringed or received any written notice of infringement or conflict with asserted Intellectual Property Rights of others, which, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of any proceeding in which there were an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Change.

(u) Commencing with its taxable year ended October 31, 1970, and through the date hereof, the Company has been and is organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, the “Code”), and its actual and proposed method of operation has enabled and will enable it to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. No transaction or other event has occurred or is contemplated which would cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT for its current taxable year or future taxable years.

(v) With respect to the officer’s certificate issued to Baker & McKenzie LLP in connection with the legal opinion as to Federal income tax matters provided to the Underwriter pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof, where representations in such officer’s certificate involve terms defined in the Code, the Treasury regulations thereunder, published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service or other relevant authority, the Company’s representatives, after discussions with their current and former counsel, understand such terms and are capable of accurately making such factual representations.

(w) To the knowledge of the Company, after inquiry of its officers and directors, there are no affiliations or associations with FINRA among the Company’s officers, directors, or 5% or greater stockholders, except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or as otherwise disclosed in writing to the Underwriter.

(x) Neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its affiliates has taken or will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might be reasonably expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares. None of the purchases and issuances of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the DRIP was made by the administrator of the DRIP at the request of the Company with the purpose or intent of stabilizing or manipulating the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares. The Company acknowledges that the Underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Company’s Common Stock, including stabilizing bids, syndicate covering transactions and the imposition of penalty bids and understands that any such transactions will be conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

(y) The Company and each of the Subsidiaries is insured by recognized, financially sound and reputable institutions with policies in such amounts and with such deductibles and covering such risks as are generally deemed in the Company’s industry to be adequate and customary for their businesses, including, but not limited to, policies covering real and personal property owned or leased by the Company and the Subsidiaries against theft, damage, destruction and acts of vandalism and, with respect to the Properties, defects in title. The Company has no reason to believe that it or any of the Subsidiaries will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted or as proposed to be conducted as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and at a cost that would not result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied where such denial would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

(z) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change, (a) the Company and the Subsidiaries have been and are in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws (as defined below), (b) none of the Company, any of the Subsidiaries, or, to the Company’s knowledge, any other owners of any of the Properties at any time or any other party, has at any time released (as such term is defined in CERCLA (as defined below)) or otherwise disposed of Hazardous Materials (as defined below) on, to, in, under or from the Properties or any other real properties previously owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, (c) neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries intends to use the Properties or any subsequently acquired properties other than in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, (d) neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has received any written notice of, or has any knowledge of any occurrence or circumstance which, with notice or passage of time or both, would give rise to a claim under or pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties, any other real properties previously owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or the assets described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or arising out of the conduct of the Company or the Subsidiaries, (e) none of the Properties are included or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, proposed for inclusion on the National Priorities List issued pursuant to CERCLA by the United States Environmental Protection Agency or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, proposed for inclusion on any similar list or inventory issued pursuant to any other Environmental Law or issued by any other Governmental Authority (as defined below), (f) none of the Company, any of the Subsidiaries or, to the Company’s knowledge, any other person or entity for whose conduct any of them is or may be held responsible, has generated, manufactured, refined, transported, treated, stored, handled, disposed, transferred, produced or processed any Hazardous Material at any of the Properties, except in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, and has not transported or arranged for the transport of any Hazardous Material from the Properties or any other real properties previously owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to another property, except in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, (g) no lien has been imposed on the Properties by any Governmental Authority in connection with the presence on or off such Property of any Hazardous Material, and (h) none of the Company, any of the Subsidiaries or any other person or entity for whose conduct any of them is or may be held responsible, has entered into or been subject to any consent decree, compliance order, or administrative order with respect to the Properties or any facilities or improvements or any operations or activities thereon.

As used herein, “Hazardous Material” shall include, without limitation, any flammable materials, explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous materials, hazardous substances, hazardous wastes, toxic substances or related materials, asbestos, mold, petroleum, oil, petroleum products and any hazardous material as defined by any federal, state or local environmental law, statute, bylaw, ordinance, rule or regulation, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. (S)(S) 9601-9675 (“CERCLA”), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended, 49 U.S.C. (S)(S) 1801-1819, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. (S)(S) 6901-K, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, 42 U.S.C. (S)(S) 1101-11050, the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. (S)(S) 2601-2671, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, 7 U.S.C. (S)(S) 136-136y, the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. (S)(S) 7401-7642, the Clean Water Act (Federal Water Pollution Control Act), 33 U.S.C. (S)(S) 1251-1387, the Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. (S)(S) 300f-300j-26, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act, 29 U.S.C. (S)(S) 651-678, and any analogous state laws, as any of the above may be amended from time to time and in the regulations promulgated pursuant to each of the foregoing (including environmental statutes and laws not specifically defined herein) (individually, an “Environmental Law” and collectively, the “Environmental Laws”) or by any federal, state or local governmental authority having or claiming jurisdiction over the properties and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (a “Governmental Authority”).

(aa) The Company reasonably believes that with respect to the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.

(bb) The Company, the Subsidiaries and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”)) established or maintained by the Company or its ERISA Affiliates (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Company, any member of any group of organizations described in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code of which the Company is a member. No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates. No “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (a) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (b) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

(cc) The execution and delivery of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

(dd) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is or, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares contemplated hereunder and the application of the net proceeds from such sale as described in the Registration Statement, Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, will be an “investment company” required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(ee) The Company and each of the Subsidiaries maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences; and (v) interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and is prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto.

(ff) The Company has established and maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act); the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” are reasonably designed to ensure that all information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the 1934 Act, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company required under the 1934 Act with respect to such reports.

(gg) The statistical, industry-related and market-related data included in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are based on or derived from sources which the Company reasonably and in good faith believes are reliable and accurate, and such data agree with the sources from which they are derived.

(hh) The operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements, including those of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the applicable money laundering statutes of all jurisdictions where the Company or any of the Subsidiaries conducts business, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”) and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of the Subsidiaries with respect to the Anti-Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened.

(ii) Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries, directors, officers or employees, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any agent, affiliate or other person associated with or acting on behalf of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is currently the subject or the target of any sanctions administered or enforced by the U.S. government (including, without limitation, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) or the U.S. Department of State and including, without limitation, the designation as a “specially designated national” or “blocked person”), the United Nations Security Council (“UNSC”), the European Union, Her Majesty’s Treasury (“HMT”), or other relevant sanctions authority (collectively, “Sanctions”), nor is the Company or any of the Subsidiaries located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is the subject or target of Sanctions, including, without limitation, Cuba, Burma (Myanmar), Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria (each, a “Sanctioned Country”); and the Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering of the Shares hereunder, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity (i) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business with any person who, at the time of such funding or facilitation, is the subject or target of Sanctions, (ii) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business in any Sanctioned Country or (iii) in any other manner that will result in a violation by any person (including any person participating in the transaction, whether as underwriter, initial purchaser, advisor, investor or otherwise) of Sanctions. For the past five years, the Company and the Subsidiaries have not knowingly engaged in, are not now knowingly engaged in and will not engage in any dealings or transactions with any person that at the time of the dealing or transaction is or was the subject or the target of Sanctions or with any Sanctioned Country.

(jj) The Shares have been approved for listing subject to notice of issuance on the New York Stock Exchange.

(kk) There are no relationships or related-party transactions involving the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any other person required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus which have not been described as required.

(ll) Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has made any contribution or other payment to any official of, or candidate for, any federal, state or foreign office in violation of any law which violation is required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(mm) As of the date of the initial filing of the Registration Statement, there were no outstanding personal loans made, directly or indirectly, by the Company to any director or executive officer of the Company.

(nn) None of the information on (or hyperlinked from) the Company’s website at www.ubproperties.com includes or constitutes a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act and the Company does not maintain or support any website other than www.ubproperties.com.

(oo) No Subsidiary is currently prohibited, directly or indirectly, from paying any dividends to the Company, from making any other distribution on such Subsidiary’s capital stock, from repaying to the Company any loans or advances to such Subsidiary from the Company or from transferring any of such Subsidiary’s property or assets to the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company where such prohibition has had or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

(pp) Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer or employee of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any agent, affiliate or other person associated with or acting on behalf of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries has (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to political activity; (ii) made or taken an act in furtherance of an offer, promise or authorization of any direct or indirect unlawful payment or benefit to any foreign or domestic government official or employee, including of any government-owned or controlled entity or of a public international organization, or any person acting in an official capacity for or on behalf of any of the foregoing, or any political party or party official or candidate for political office; (iii) violated or is in violation of any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or any applicable law or regulation implementing the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions, or committed an offence under the Bribery Act 2010 of the United Kingdom, or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law; or (iv) made, offered, agreed, requested or taken an act in furtherance of any unlawful bribe or other unlawful benefit, including, without limitation, any rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful or improper payment or benefit. The Company and its Subsidiaries have instituted, maintained and enforced, and will continue to maintain and enforce, policies and procedures designed to promote and ensure compliance with all applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws.

(qq) All United States federal income tax returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries required by law to be filed have been filed and all taxes due pursuant to such returns or otherwise assessed, which are due and payable, have been paid, except assessments against which appeals have been or will be promptly taken and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all other tax returns that are required to have been filed by them pursuant to applicable foreign, state, local or other law except insofar as the failure to file such returns would not result in a Material Adverse Change, and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company and its Subsidiaries, except for such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been established by the Company.

The option granted hereby may be exercised in whole or in part, in no more than two installments, by giving written notice (i) at any time before the Closing Date and (ii) thereafter within 30 days after the date of this Agreement by the Underwriter, to the Company setting forth the number of Option Shares as to which the Underwriter is exercising the option and the time and date at which Option Shares are to be delivered. The time and date at which Option Shares are to be delivered shall be determined by the Underwriter but shall not be earlier than three nor later than 10 full business days after the exercise of such option, nor in any event prior to the Closing Date (each such time and date being herein referred to as the “Option Closing Date”).

3. Covenants of the Company.

The Company covenants and agrees with the Underwriter that:

(a) The Company will (A) prepare and timely file with the Commission under Rule 424(b) a Prospectus in a form approved by the Underwriter containing information previously omitted at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement in reliance on Rules 430B under the 1933 Act, and (B) not file any amendment to the Registration Statement with respect to the Common Stock or distribute an amendment or supplement to the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or document incorporated by reference therein of which the Underwriter shall not previously have been advised and furnished with a copy or to which the Underwriter shall have reasonably objected in writing or which is not in compliance with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and (C) file on a timely basis all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission subsequent to the date of the Prospectus and prior to the termination of the offering of the Shares by the Underwriter.

(b) The Company will (i) not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission under Rule 433 unless the Underwriter approves its use in writing prior to first use (each, a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”); provided that the prior written consent of the Underwriter hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus(es) included in Schedule I hereto, (ii) treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (iii) comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the 1933 Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including the requirements relating to timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping and (iv) not take any action that would result in the Underwriter or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriter that the Underwriter otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder. The Company will satisfy the conditions in Rule 433 to avoid a requirement to file with the Commission any electronic road show.

The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order and to obtain as soon as possible the lifting thereof, if issued.

(d) The Company will cooperate with the Underwriter in endeavoring to qualify the Shares for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriter may reasonably have designated in writing and will make such applications, file such documents, and furnish such information as may be reasonably required for that purpose, provided the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or required to file such a consent.

The Company will deliver to the Underwriter at or before the Closing Date, four conformed copies of the Registration Statement and all amendments thereto including all exhibits filed therewith, and will deliver to the Underwriter such number of copies of the Registration Statement (including such number of copies of the exhibits filed therewith that may reasonably be requested), including documents incorporated by reference therein, and of all amendments thereto, as the Underwriter may reasonably request.

If during the period in which a prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to under Rule 173(a) under the 1933 Act) is required by law to be delivered by the Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company or in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriter, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or, if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with any law, the Company promptly will either (i) prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus or (ii) prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate filing under the 1934 Act which shall be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus so that the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when it is so delivered, be misleading, or so that the Prospectus will comply with the law.

(g) If the Disclosure Package is being used to solicit offers to buy the Shares at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company or in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriter, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Disclosure Package in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or to make the statements therein not conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to comply with any law, the Company promptly will either (i) prepare, file with the Commission (if required) and furnish to the Underwriter and any dealers an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Disclosure Package or (ii) prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate filing under the 1934 Act which shall be incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package so that the Disclosure Package as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances, be misleading or conflict with the Registration Statement then on file, or so that the Disclosure Package will comply with law.

(h) The Company will make generally available to its security holders, as soon as it is practicable to do so, but in any event not later than 15 months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) in reasonable detail, covering a period of at least 12 consecutive months beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the requirements of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 under the 1933 Act and will advise the Underwriter in writing when such statement has been so made available.

(i) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will furnish to the Underwriter, as soon as they have been prepared by or are available to the Company, a copy of any unaudited interim financial statements of the Company for any period subsequent to the period covered by the most recent financial statements appearing in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(j) Other than pursuant to the DRIP and other compensation and stock plans identified in the Registration Statement, Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, no offering, sale, short sale or other disposition of any shares of the Common Stock (which such term, for purposes of this Section 3(j), shall consist of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and the Common Stock) or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or derivative of the Common Stock (or agreement for such) will be made for a period of 60 days after the date of the Prospectus, directly or indirectly, by the Company otherwise than hereunder or with the prior written consent of the Underwriter.

(k) The Company will use its best efforts to maintain the listing of the Shares on the NYSE.

(l) The Company has caused each officer and director of the Company other than Willing L. Biddle, Charles J. Urstadt and Catherine U. Biddle to furnish to the Underwriter, on or prior to the date of this agreement, a letter or letters, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, and the Company has further caused Willing L. Biddle, Charles J. Urstadt and Catherine U. Biddle to furnish to the Underwriter, on or prior to the date of this agreement, a letter or letters, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 (collectively, the “Lockup Agreements”).

(n) The Company shall not invest, or otherwise use the proceeds received by the Company from its sale of the Shares in such a manner as would require the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

(o) The Company will maintain a transfer agent and, if necessary under the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, a registrar for the Common Stock.

(p) The Company will use its best efforts to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code unless the board of directors of the Company determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to be so qualified.

(q) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company.

7. Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees:

(i) to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, the directors and officers of the Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Underwriter or any such controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) with respect to the Registration Statement, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or through the Underwriter specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 11 herein; and

(ii) to reimburse the Underwriter, the Underwriter’s directors and officers, and each such controlling person upon demand for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Underwriter or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability, action or proceeding or in responding to a subpoena or governmental inquiry related to the offering of the Shares, whether or not the Underwriter or controlling person is a party to any action or proceeding. In the event that it is finally judicially determined that the Underwriter was not entitled to receive payments for legal and other expenses pursuant to this subparagraph, the Underwriter will promptly return all sums that had been advanced pursuant hereto.

(b) The Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer, or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Underwriter will be liable in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission has been made in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or through the Underwriter specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 11 herein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 7, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing. No indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or (b) shall be available to any party who shall fail to give notice as provided in this Section 7(c) if the party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding to which such notice would have related and was materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice, but the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party or parties from any liability which it or they may have to the indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than on account of the provisions of Section 7(a) or (b). In case any such proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party and shall pay as incurred the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall pay as incurred (or within 30 days of presentation) the fees and expenses of the counsel retained by the indemnified party in the event (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel acceptable to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of commencement of the action. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriter in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party in accordance with the terms of this Section 7 from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, the indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriter on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), (i) the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the Shares purchased by the Underwriter and (ii) 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.

(e) In any proceeding relating to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any supplement or amendment thereto, each party against whom contribution may be sought under this Section 7 hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any court having jurisdiction over any other contributing party, agrees that process issuing from such court may be served upon it by any other contributing party and consents to the service of such process and agrees that any other contributing party may join it as an additional defendant in any such proceeding in which such other contributing party is a party.

(f) Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 7 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Underwriter, the Company, its directors or officers or any persons controlling the Company, (ii) acceptance of any Shares and payment therefor hereunder, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to the Underwriter, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Underwriter, or to the Company, its directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 7.

10. Successors.

The Company and the Underwriter acknowledge and agree that the only information furnished or to be furnished by the Underwriter to the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus consists of the information set forth in the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting” in the preliminary prospectus included in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

The Underwriter, on the one hand, and the Company (on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted by law, on behalf of its stockholders), on the other hand, waive any right to trial by jury in any action, claim, suit or proceeding with respect to the Underwriter’s engagement as underwriter or the Underwriter’s role in connection herewith.
