Upon the earlier of (a) a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12(b)(i), (b) a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12(c)(ii), and (c) the date that is 42 full calendar months after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Manager, on the date of the relevant termination or other event or as promptly thereafter as practicable, a cash promote payment (the “ Promote ”) if the Company TSR Percentage exceeds 10% during the Measurement Period. The Promote shall be calculated, without duplication, as follows:

(i) to the extent that the Company TSR Percentage exceeds 10% during the Measurement Period, the Promote shall equal the product of:

(x) the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding during the Measurement Period (calculated on a fully-diluted basis in accordance with GAAP), multiplied by

(y) the product of (A) 10%, multiplied by (B) the difference of (I) the Company TSR Amount not to exceed a Hurdle TSR Amount implied by a Company TSR Percentage during the Measurement Period of 12.5%, less (II) a Hurdle TSR Amount implied by a Company TSR Percentage during the Measurement Period of 10%;

(ii) to the extent that the Company TSR Percentage exceeds 12.5% during the Measurement Period, the Promote shall equal the sum of:

(x) the amount under (i) above, plus

(y) the product of:

(A) the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding during the Measurement Period (calculated on a fully-diluted basis in accordance with GAAP), multiplied by

17

(B) the product of (I) 15%, multiplied by (II) the difference of (1) the Company TSR Amount not to exceed a Hurdle TSR Amount implied by a Company TSR Percentage during the Measurement Period of 15%, less (2) a Hurdle TSR Amount implied by a Company TSR Percentage during the Measurement Period of 12.5%; and

(iii) to the extent that the Company TSR Percentage exceeds 15% during the Measurement Period, the Promote shall equal the sum of:

(x) the amount under (ii) above, plus

(y) the product of:

(A) the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding during the Measurement Period (calculated on a fully-diluted basis in accordance with GAAP), multiplied by

(B) the product of (I) 20%, multiplied by (II) the difference of (1) the Company TSR Amount, less (2) a Hurdle TSR Amount implied by a Company TSR Percentage during the Measurement Period of 15%.

For avoidance of doubt, the Promote (including the related definitions of the Company TSR Amount, the Company TSR Percentage and the Hurdle TSR Amount) shall be calculated consistent with the illustrative Promote calculation methodology set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

SECTION 15. ASSIGNMENT.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 15(b), this Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, in whole or in part, by the Manager, unless such assignment is consented to in writing by the Company with the consent of a majority of the Independent Trustees; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required in the case of an assignment by the Manager to an entity whose business and operations are managed or supervised by Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. Any such permitted assignment shall bind the assignee under this Agreement in the same manner as the Manager is bound. The Manager shall continue to be liable to the Company for all errors or omissions of any assignee that is managed or supervised by Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. The Manager shall not be liable for errors or omissions of any other successor manager arising from and after any such assignment. In the case of any assignment, the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Company a counterpart of this Agreement naming such assignee as Manager.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Manager may subcontract and assign any or all of its responsibilities under Section 2 to any of its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Company hereby consents to any such assignment and subcontracting.

SECTION 21. ARBITRATION.

(a) Any disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the provision of services by the Manager pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any disputes, claims or controversies brought by or on behalf of the Company or the Manager or any holder of equity interests (which, for purposes of this Section 21, shall mean any holder of record

20

or any beneficial owner of equity interests or any former holder of record or beneficial owner of equity interests) of the Company or the Manager, either on his, her or its own behalf, on behalf of the Company or the Manager or on behalf of any series or class of equity interests of the Company or Manager or holders of any equity interests of the Company or the Manager against the Company or the Manager or any of their respective trustees, directors, members, officers, managers (including the Manager or its successor), agents or employees, including any disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, including this arbitration agreement or the governing documents of the Company or the Manager (all of which are referred to as “ Disputes ”), or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes shall, on the demand of any party to such Dispute or Disputes, be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “ Rules ”) of the American Arbitration Association (“ AAA ”) then in effect, except as those Rules may be modified in this Section 21. For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are intended to include derivative actions against the trustees, directors, officers or managers of the Company or the Manager and class actions by a holder of equity interests against those individuals or entities and the Company or the Manager. For the avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party. For purposes of this Section 21, the term “equity interest” shall mean, (i) in respect of the Company, shares of beneficial interest of the Company, and (ii) in respect of the Manager, “membership interest” in the Manager as defined in the Delaware Limited Partnership Act.

(b) There shall be three (3) arbitrators. If there are only two (2) parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one (1) arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration. The arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the parties. If there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one (1) arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the demand for arbitration. The arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be. If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail(s) to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request AAA to provide a list of three (3) proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten (10) days from the date AAA provides the list to select one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA. If the party (or parties) fail(s) to select the second (2nd) arbitrator by that time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first (1st) arbitrator shall then have ten (10) days to select one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second (2nd) arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select the second (2nd) arbitrator by such time, AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators it had proposed as the second (2nd) arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third (3rd) and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second (2nd) arbitrator. If the third (3rd) arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

(c) The place of arbitration shall be Dallas, Texas, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

(d) There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that there shall be no depositions and no other discovery other than limited documentary discovery as described in the preceding sentence.

21

(e) In rendering an award or decision (the “ Award ”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of the State of Maryland. Any arbitration proceedings or award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. The Award shall be in writing and shall state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based. Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset. Subject to Section 21(g), each party against which the Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the Award or such other date as the Award may provide.

(f) Except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the parties thereto, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action, award any portion of the Company’s or the Manager’s, as applicable, award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys. Each party (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third (3rd) appointed arbitrator.

(g) Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Agreement, the Award, including but not limited to, any interim Award, may be appealed pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules (“ Appellate Rules ”). The Award shall not be considered final until after the time for filing the notice of appeal pursuant to the Appellate Rules has expired. Appeals must be initiated within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Award by filing a notice of appeal with any AAA office. Following the appeal process, the decision rendered by the appeal tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, and despite any contrary provision of the Appellate Rules, this Section 21(f) shall apply to any appeal pursuant to this Section and the appeal tribunal shall not render an award that would include shifting of any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any party.

(h) Following the expiration of the time for filing the notice of appeal, or the conclusion of the appeal process set forth in Section 21(g), the Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between those parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators. Judgment upon the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(i) This Section 21 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the Company, the Manager and their respective holders of equity interests, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including the Manager or its successor), agents or employees, and their respective successors and assigns and shall be binding upon the Company, the Manager and their respective holders of equity interests, and be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that such individuals or entities may have by contract or otherwise.

22

SECTION 22. NAME LICENSE.

The Manager hereby grants to the Company and its Affiliates a personal, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable right and license during the License Term (as defined below) and Wind-Down Term (if any, and as defined below) to use, display and reproduce the name “Spirit” (“ Licensed Name ”) in connection with the operation of their respective businesses, including in the corporate names of Company and its Affiliates. The “ License Term ” shall mean the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing until 90 days after the Effective Date of Termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the license grant herein is non-exclusive and accordingly the Manager and its Affiliates hereby retain the right to continue using the Licensed Name and to license or transfer any rights the Manager and its Affiliates may have in the Licensed Name to third parties, and Company and its Affiliates will not take any action to challenge the Manager and its Affiliates rights in the Licensed Name. Company and its Affiliates acknowledge that certain goodwill and reputation may be associated with the Licensed Name and agree to use the Licensed Name only in a manner that maintains and promotes such goodwill and reputation, and any use in contravention of the foregoing shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. Company and its Affiliates shall cooperate with Manager and its Affiliates in facilitating the Manager’s control of the nature and quality of the products, services and other uses of the Licensed Name, including providing Manager, upon Manager’s written request, with samples of any public facing materials produced by or on behalf of the Company and its Affiliates that bear the Licensed Name. Upon the expiration of the License Term, (i) the license grant set forth in this Section 22 will terminate, (ii) Company and its Affiliates will cease all use of the Licensed Name and destroy, or at Manager’s election transfer to Manager, all public facing materials in the Company and its Affiliates’ possession or control containing the Licensed Names, and (iii) Company and its Affiliates will immediately change their corporate names to no longer contain the word “Spirit” or any derivation thereof.

SECTION 23. CONTROLLING LAW.

SECTION 24. INDULGENCES, NOT WAIVERS.

Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

SECTION 27. PROVISIONS SEPARABLE.

If any member of the SRC Group supplies information to a member of the SMTA Group in connection with a Tax liability and an officer of a member of the SMTA Group signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such member of the SMTA Group identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of SRC (or any officer of SRC as designated by the chief financial officer of SRC) shall certify in writing that to his or her knowledge (based upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete.

Section 8. Tax Records .

Section 8.1 Retention of Tax Records . Each of SRC and SMTA shall preserve and keep all Tax Records exclusively relating to the assets and activities of its Group for Pre-Distribution Periods, and SRC shall preserve and keep all other Tax Records relating to Taxes of the SRC and SMTA Groups for Pre-Distribution Periods, for so long as the contents thereof may be or become material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations, or (ii) seven (7) years after the Distribution Date (such later date, the “ Retention Date ”). After the Retention Date, each of SRC and SMTA may dispose of such Tax Records upon sixty (60) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other Party. If, prior to the Retention Date, (a) SRC or

13

SMTA reasonably determines that any Tax Records which it would otherwise be required to preserve and keep under this Section  8 are no longer material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law and the other Party agrees, then such first Party may dispose of such Tax Records upon sixty (60) Business Days’ prior notice to the other Party. Any notice of an intent to dispose given pursuant to this Section  8.1 shall include a list of the Tax Records to be disposed of describing in reasonable detail each file, book, or other record accumulation being disposed. The notified Parties shall have the opportunity, at their cost and expense, to copy or remove, within such sixty (60) Business Day period, all or any part of such Tax Records. If, at any time prior to the Retention Date, a Party or any of its Affiliates determines to decommission or otherwise discontinue any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, then such program or system may be decommissioned or discontinued upon ninety (90) Business Days’ prior notice to the other Party and the other Party shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy, within such ninety (90) Business Day period, all or any part of the underlying data relating to the Tax Records accessed by or stored on such program or system.

Section 8.2 Access to Tax Records . The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall make available to each other for inspection and copying during normal business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any pertinent underlying data accessed or stored on any computer program or information technology system) in their possession pertaining to (i) in the case of any Tax Return of the SRC Group, the portion of such return that relates to Taxes for which the SMTA Group may be liable pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) in the case of any Tax Return of the SMTA Group, the portion of such return that relates to Taxes for which the SRC Group may be liable pursuant to this Agreement, and shall permit the other Party and its Affiliates, authorized agents and representatives and any representative of a Tax Authority or other Tax auditor direct access, at the cost and expense of the requesting Party, during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, in each case to the extent reasonably required by the other Party in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns or financial accounting statements, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items under this Agreement.

Section 8.3 Preservation of Privilege . The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall not provide access to, copies of, or otherwise disclose to any Person any documentation relating to Taxes existing prior to the Distribution Date to which Privilege may reasonably be asserted without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 9. Tax Contests .

Section 9.1 Notice . Each Party shall provide prompt notice to the other Party of any written communication from a Tax Authority regarding any pending Tax audit, assessment or proceeding or other Tax Contest of which it becomes aware (i) related to Taxes for Tax Periods for which it is indemnified by the other Party hereunder or for which it may be required to indemnify the other Party hereunder or (ii) otherwise relating to the Intended Tax Treatment or the Transactions (including the resolution of any Tax Contest relating thereto). Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Tax Authority and

14

contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such matters. If an indemnified Party has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it is to be indemnified hereunder and such Party fails to give the indemnifying Party prompt notice of such asserted Tax liability and the indemnifying Party is entitled under this Agreement to contest the asserted Tax liability, then (x) to the extent the indemnifying Party is precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum as a result of the failure to give prompt notice, the indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the indemnified Party for any Taxes arising out of such asserted Tax liability, and (y) to the extent the indemnifying Party is not precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum, but such failure to give prompt notice results in a material monetary detriment to the indemnifying Party, then any amount which the indemnifying Party is otherwise required to pay the indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment.

Section 9.2 Control of Tax Contests .

(a) SRC Control . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, SRC shall have the right to control any Tax Contest with respect to any Tax matters relating to (i) a Joint Return, (ii) an SRC Separate Return and (iii) Transfer Taxes. Subject to Section  9.2(c) and Section  9.2(d) of this Agreement, SRC shall have absolute discretion with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any such Tax Contest.

(b) SMTA Control . Except as otherwise provided in this Section  9.2 , SMTA shall have the right to control any Tax Contest with respect to any Tax matters relating to an SMTA Separate Return. Subject to Section  9.2(c) and Section  9.2(d) of this Agreement, SMTA shall have reasonable discretion, after consultation with SRC, with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any such Tax Contest relating to an SMTA Separate Return for a Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period, and absolute discretion with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any other such Tax Contest.

(c) Settlement Rights . The Controlling Party shall have the sole right to contest, litigate, compromise and settle any Tax Contest without obtaining the prior consent of the Non-Controlling Party; provided , that to the extent any such Tax Contest (i) could give rise to a claim for indemnity by the Controlling Party or its Affiliates against the Non-Controlling Party or its Affiliates under this Agreement, or (ii) is with respect to an SMTA Separate Return for a Pre-Distribution Period or Straddle Period, then the Controlling Party shall not settle any such Tax Contest without the Non-Controlling Party’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and must take into account the reasonable likelihood of success of such Tax Contest on its merits without regard to the ability of SMTA to pay). Subject to Section  9.2(e) of this Agreement, and unless waived by the Parties in writing, in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest as a result of which adjustment the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement: (I) the Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party informed in a timely manner of all actions taken or

15

proposed to be taken by the Controlling Party with respect to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (II) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party copies of any written materials relating to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest received from any Tax Authority; (III) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party with copies of any correspondence or filings submitted to any Tax Authority or judicial authority in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (IV) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Non-Controlling Party and offer the Non-Controlling Party a reasonable opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; and (V) the Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith. The failure of the Controlling Party to take any action specified in the preceding sentence with respect to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Non-Controlling Party was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party. In the case of any Tax Contest described in this Section  9 , “ Controlling Party ” means the Party entitled to control the Tax Contest under such Section and “ Non-Controlling Party ” means (x) SRC if SMTA is the Controlling Party and (y) SMTA if SRC is the Controlling Party.

(d) Tax Contest Participation . Subject to Section  9.2(e) of this Agreement, and unless waived by the Parties in writing, the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party with written notice reasonably in advance of, and the Non-Controlling Party shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with Tax Authorities or hearings or proceedings before any judicial authorities in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest pursuant to which the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement. The failure of the Controlling Party to provide any notice specified in this Section  9.2(d) to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Non-Controlling Party was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party.

(e) Joint Returns . Notwithstanding anything in this Section  9 to the contrary, in the case of a Tax Contest related to a Joint Return, the rights of SMTA and its Affiliates under Section  9.2(c) and Section  9.2(d) of this Agreement shall be limited in scope to the portion of such Tax Contest relating to Taxes for which SMTA may reasonably expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to SRC under this Agreement.

(f) Power of Attorney . Each member of the SMTA Group shall execute and deliver to SRC (or such member of the SRC Group as SRC shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document reasonably requested by SRC (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which SRC is the Controlling Party) described in this Section  9 . Each member of the SRC Group shall execute and deliver to SMTA (or such member of the SMTA Group as SMTA shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document requested by SMTA (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which SMTA is the Controlling Party) described in this Section  9 .

16

Section 10. Survival of Obligations. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall be unconditional and absolute and shall remain in effect without limitation as to time.

Section 11. Tax Treatment of Payments .

Section 11.1 General Rule . Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or as otherwise agreed to by the Parties, any payment (other than interest thereon) made by SRC or any member of the SRC Group to SMTA or any member of the SMTA Group, or by SMTA or any member of the SMTA Group to SRC or any member of the SRC Group, pursuant to this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that relates to Taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Distribution Date shall be treated by the Parties for all Tax purposes as a distribution by SMTA to SRC, or a capital contribution from SRC to SMTA, as the case may be, occurring immediately before the Distribution; provided, however, that any such payment that is made or received by a Person other than SRC or SMTA, as the case may be, shall be treated as if made or received by the payor or the recipient as agent for SRC or SMTA, in each case as appropriate. No Party shall take any position inconsistent with the treatment described in the preceding sentence, and in the event that a Tax Authority asserts that a Party’s treatment of a payment pursuant to this Agreement should be other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, such Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest such challenge.

Section 11.2 Interest . Anything herein or in the Separation Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent one Party makes a payment of interest to the other Party under this Agreement with respect to the period from the date that the Party receiving the interest payment made a payment of Tax to a Tax Authority to the date that the Party making the interest payment reimbursed the Party receiving the interest payment for such Tax payment, the interest payment shall be treated as interest expense to the Party making such payment (deductible to the extent provided by Law) and as interest income by the Party receiving such payment (includible in income to the extent provided by Law). The amount of the payment shall not be adjusted to take into account any associated Tax Benefit to the Party making such payment or increase in Tax to the Party receiving such payment.

Section 12. Indemnification Payment Escrow . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, if one party to this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (the “ Indemnification Payor ”) is required to pay another party to such agreement (the “ Indemnification Payee ”) any indemnification payment that could reasonably result in income to any Protected REIT for U.S. federal income Tax purposes if paid (such payment, an “ Indemnification Payment ”), then, unless the Indemnification Payee shall have received a tax opinion of a Tax Advisor or a ruling from the IRS to the effect that the Indemnification Payee’s receipt of such payment will be treated as qualifying income with respect to any applicable Protected REIT for purposes of Section 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the Code (“ Qualifying Income ”) or shall be excluded from income for such purposes (such opinion or ruling, a “ Positive Tax Opinion or Ruling ”), and notified the Indemnification Payor in writing of its receipt of such Positive Tax Opinion or Ruling and directed that payment be made otherwise than into escrow as provided below, the amounts payable to the Indemnification Payee shall be limited to the maximum amount (“ Allowed

17

Amount ”) that can be paid without causing the Indemnification Payee’s receipt of its share of such funds to cause any applicable Protected REIT to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute Qualifying Income and the Protected REIT has $1,100,000 of income from unknown sources during such year that does not constitute Qualifying Income (in addition to any known or anticipated income that is not Qualifying Income), as determined by independent accountants to the Indemnification Payee, and any excess of the amount of the Indemnification Payment over the Allowed Amount (such excess, the “ Escrowed Amount ”) shall be placed into escrow. Any such Escrowed Amount shall be retained by the escrow agent in a separate interest-bearing, segregated account for the account of the Indemnification Payor. The Indemnification Payee shall pay all costs associated with obtaining any tax opinion of a Tax Advisor or ruling from the IRS described above. The Escrowed Amount shall be fully disbursed (and therefore any unpaid portion of the Indemnification Payment shall be paid to the Indemnification Payee) upon the escrow agent’s receipt of a Positive Tax Opinion or Ruling. To the extent not previously paid, upon any determination by independent accountants to the Indemnification Payee that any additional amount of the Indemnification Payment may be disbursed to the Indemnification Payee without causing any applicable Protected REIT to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the Code, determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute Qualifying Income and the Protected REIT has $1,100,000 of income from unknown sources during such year that does not constitute Qualifying Income (in addition to any known or anticipated income that is not Qualifying Income), the determination of such independent accountants shall be provided to the escrow agent and such additional amount shall be disbursed to the Indemnification Payee. At the end of the second calendar year beginning after the date on which the Indemnification Payor’s obligation to pay the Indemnification Payment arose (or earlier if directed by the Indemnification Payee), any remainder of the Escrowed Amount (together with interest thereon) then being held by the escrow agent shall be disbursed to the Indemnification Payor and, in the event that the Indemnification Payment has not by then been paid in full, such unpaid portion shall never be due. The Indemnification Payee shall bear any and all expenses associated with the escrow of the Escrowed Amount. The Indemnification Payee is hereby granted the power of attorney on behalf of the Indemnification Payor to execute, acknowledge, swear to and deliver all such documents required in connection with the foregoing escrow account, such power to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

Section 13. Dispute Resolution. Any and all Agreement Disputes arising hereunder shall be resolved through the procedures provided in Article X of the Separation Agreement.

INSURANCE SHARING AGREEMENT

THIS PROPERTY INSURANCE SHARING AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) is entered into as of May 31, 2018 by and among SPIRIT REALTY, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ Manager ”), SPIRIT REALTY CAPITAL, INC., a Maryland corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “ Spirit ”), and SPIRIT MTA REIT, a Maryland real estate investment trust (together with its subsidiaries, “ SMTA ”). Spirit and SMTA are each referred to as an “ Insured Entity ” and, collectively, as the “ Insured Entities ”.

Recitals

WHEREAS, in connection with the proposed spin-off by Spirit of certain assets and liabilities to Spirit’s common stockholders, Manager, Spirit and SMTA will engage in certain restructuring transactions (“ Restructuring Transactions ”) resulting in each of Spirit and SMTA, directly or indirectly, owning or leasing certain land and improvements (collectively, the “ Projects ”) upon the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions,; and

WHEREAS, subject to, and upon the consummation of, the Restructuring Transactions, the Insured Entities desire to appoint Manager as their agent and representative in connection with the matters set forth in this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Manager and Insured Entities hereby agree as follows:

1. Insurance Procurement .

1.1 Duty of Manager . Subject to, and upon the consummation of, the Restructuring Transactions, the Insured Entities hereby appoint Manager as their agent and representative to procure and continue in force on behalf of the Insured Entities such policies of insurance on the Projects as Manager shall determine to be necessary or appropriate from time to time; provided , however , that such policies of insurance shall at all times materially comply with any requirements by lenders or lessors of the Insured Entities as set forth in any deeds of trust, mortgages and other secured loan documents or instruments, security agreements, ground or other leases and other loan, lease or guaranty agreements, documents or instruments as the Insured Entities may enter into with respect to the Projects from time to time, and which will be provided by the Insured Entities to Manager in accordance with Section 1.3 hereof. The Insured Entities agree that such policies of insurance may include, without limitation, general liability, automobile liability, umbrella liability, property and environmental liability policies.

1.2      Policy Type . Manager has the authority to procure and maintain on behalf of the Insured Entities or an Insured Entity, as the case may be, (i) separate policies of insurance (“ Separate Insurance ”) with respect to (A) one or any group of Projects owned or leased, directly or indirectly, solely by Spirit or SMTA, respectively, and (B) director and officer liability, and (ii) blanket policies of insurance (“ Common Benefit Insurance ”) with respect to any group of Projects owned or leased, directly or indirectly, by Spirit and SMTA, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. All insurance policies procured and maintained by Manager hereunder shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies and shall insure both the owner or the lessor of the insured Project and Manager, as the case may be.

1

1.3 Considerations . S ubject to Section  1.6 below, any determination to be made by Manager pursuant to Sections 1.1 and 1.2 above shall be based upon, in addition to such other factors and considerations as Manager may deem to be appropriate, (i) the nature and amount of insurance coverage maintained with respect to similar properties and industries located in the areas in which the Projects are located, (ii) insurance requirements set forth in third-party agreements, including, but not limited to, leases and loan agreements, documents and instruments entered into with respect to the respective Projects and (iii) the condition of, and limitations imposed by, the insurance underwriting market with respect to the availability of insurance coverage. In connection with the foregoing, each Insured Entity agrees that it shall provide to Manager promptly upon request a true and complete copy of each mortgage, loan, lease, security agreement and/or other third party agreement, document and instrument to which such Insured Entity is a party and which contains any insurance requirement with respect to the Projects owned or leased by such Insured Entity.

1.4 Binding Effect . The exercise in good faith of all discretion conferred upon Manager pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon each of the Insured Entities.

1.5 Reliance Upon Broker . Each Insured Entity authorizes and directs Manager to employ one or more nationally recognized insurance brokerage firms to assist in the performance of its duties hereunder, and Manager shall be entitled to rely in good faith upon any advice given by such brokerage firms with respect to availability of coverages, rates, policy terms, allocations of premiums and coverages, the insurable value of each of the Projects and other similar matters.

1.6 Presentation of Claims . The Insured Entity owning or leasing an affected Project shall inform Manager in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after an event giving rise to a claim for payment of insured losses. Manager shall then promptly present such claim for payment of insured losses to insurance carriers, pursue such claim until final resolution and take other similar actions as Manager determines are reasonably necessary. Each Insured Entity authorizes Manager to employ independent insurance adjusters and other independent contractors as may be reasonably necessary or required by the terms of the applicable insurance policy to effect loss recovery. To the extent the cost thereof is not paid by the insurers, such cost shall be borne as set forth in Section  3.1 below.

2. Existing Policies; Reimbursement .

2.1 Existing Policies . Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to add SMTA as a named insured under Spirit’s existing general liability, automobile liability, umbrella liability, property liability and premise environmental liability policies (each, an “ Existing Policy ”), effective upon the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions, until the expiration of the current term of each such Existing Policy. The remittance of insurance proceeds to the Insured Entities under an Existing Policy shall be made at the times and in the manner set forth in Section 3.4 below.

2.2 Reimbursement . SMTA will reimburse Spirit for (i) SMTA’s pro rata share of the premiums and other costs for each Existing Policy to which SMTA is added as a named insured in accordance with the methodology shown on Schedule 1 attached hereto, and (ii) the premiums paid by Spirit on behalf of SMTA under the existing director and officer liability insurance policy for SMTA, in each case, within 60 days of the Effective Date (as defined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of May 21, 2018, by and between Spirit and SMTA).

SCHEDULE 1

Premium Allocation – Interim Period

General Liability

Total unamortized premium balance, including all surcharges, taxes, policy fees and broker commissions, multiplied by the percentage that represents SMTA’s square footage to total square footage.

Example : Assuming an effective date for the spin-off related to the Restructuring Transactions referred to in the preamble to this Agreement (“ Spin-off Effective Date ”) of 5/31/18, total unamortized premium balance is $83,739. SMTA’s square footage is 42.44% of total square footage, therefore, the allocation is $35,539.

Automobile Liability

Neither SMTA nor SRC has any owned autos. The policy premium, including all surcharges, fees, taxes, policy fees and broker commissions, is for Hired and Non-Owned Liability, which is primarily for autos rented for business by employees and for employees using their own autos for business purposes. Since SMTA has no employees, no allocation is needed.

Umbrella Liability

Total unamortized premium balance, including all surcharges, taxes, policy fees and broker commissions, multiplied by the percentage that represents SMTA’s square footage to total square footage.

Example : Assuming a Spin-off Effective Date of 5/31/18, total unamortized premium balance is $24,154. SMTA’s square footage is 42.44% of total square footage, therefore, the allocation is $10,251.

Property

Total unamortized premium balance, including all surcharges, taxes, policy fees and broker commissions, multiplied by the percentage that represents SMTA’s insured property values to total insured property values.

Example : Assuming a Spin-off Effective Date of 5/31/18, total unamortized premium balance is $211,875. SMTA’s insured property values are 13.53% of total insured property values, therefore, the allocation is $28,666.

Premises Environmental Liability

Total unamortized premium balance, including all surcharges, taxes, policy fees and broker commissions, multiplied by the percentage that represents SMTA’s proportionate share of the balance, based on a premium by category/industry type, which is multiplied by the number of locations in each category.

Example : Assuming a Spin-off Effective Date of 5/31/18, total unamortized premium balance is $277,891. SMTA’s proportionate share is 33.6% of the balance, based on the sum of the individual premiums by category.

Using this methodology, total SMTA premium for the term would be $459,000, or 33.6% of the total premium of $1,366,070 paid by Spirit for the full term. Therefore, SMTA will be allocated $93,414 for the interim period.

SCHEDULE 2

Premium Allocation – General Liability Policy

Total annual policy premium, including all surcharges, taxes, policy fees and broker commissions, multiplied by the percentage that represents the SMTA square footage to total square footage, based on the schedule provided to carriers in the renewal submission. The remainder is allocated to Spirit.

Example : Total premium is $335,000. Total square feet insured at time of renewal submission is 44,000,000. SMTA owns 19,800,000 square feet, or 45% of the total. Total premium of $335,000 multiplied by 45% equals $150,750. The remainder is allocated to Spirit.

SCHEDULE 3

Premium Allocation – Automobile Liability

Neither SMTA nor Spirit has any owned autos. The policy premium, including all surcharges, fees, taxes, policy fees and broker commissions, is for Hired and Non-Owned Liability, which is primarily for autos rented for business by employees and for employees using their own autos for business purposes. Since SMTA has no employees, the full annual premium will be allocated to Spirit.

SCHEDULE 4

Premium Allocation – Umbrella Liability

Total annual policy premium, including all surcharges, taxes, policy fees and broker commissions, multiplied by the percentage that represents the SMTA square feet to total square feet, based on the schedule provided to carriers in the renewal submission. The remainder is allocated to Spirit.

Example : Total premium is $97,000. Total square feet insured at time of renewal submission is 44,000,000. SMTA owns 19,800,000 square feet, or 45% of the total. Total premium of $97,000 multiplied by 45% equals $43,650. The remainder is allocated to Spirit.

SCHEDULE 5

Premium Allocation – Property

Total annual policy premium, including all surcharges, taxes, policy fees and broker commissions, multiplied by the percentage that represents the SMTA property values insured to total property values insured, based on the schedule provided to carriers in the renewal submission. The remainder is allocated to Spirit.

Example : Total premium is $600,000. Total property values insured at time of renewal submission are $30,000,000. SMTA property values insured are $10,000,000 or 33.3% of total property values insured. Total premium of $600,000 multiplied by 33.3% equals $199,800. The remainder is allocated to Spirit.

SCHEDULE 6

Premium Allocation – Environmental Liability

Total annual policy premium, including all surcharges, taxes, policy fees and broker commissions, is based on a premium per occupancy type multiplied by the number of properties that fall within each occupancy category. The SMTA allocation will be the sum of each premium for each property, based on the premium per occupancy. The remainder is allocated to Spirit.

Example : Total premium is $900,000. The premiums by occupancy type are shown below.

SMTA has 400 single-tenant retail properties with no historical uses of concern, 300 restaurants with no historical uses of concern, 100 grocery stores with no historical uses of concern and 100 medical offices.

The premiums by category are $160,000 (400 X $400); $120,000 (300 X $400); $40,000 (100 X $400); and $50,000 (100 X $500) for a total of $370,000.

(g) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States (where an exemption does not apply) as any Holder or managing underwriter(s), if any, reasonably (in light of such Holder’s intended plan of distribution) requests, (ii) keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such registration statement is required to be kept effective, (iii) cooperate with the Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and (iv) cause such Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company; provided that the Company will not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (g), (B) subject itself to any material tax obligation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction to which it is not then so subject. The Company will promptly notify each Selling Holder of (x) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order or suspension and, if issued, will use its reasonable best efforts to remove any such order or suspension and (y) the removal of any such order or suspension.

(h) The Company will immediately notify each Holder of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such registration statement or prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such registration statement or prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and promptly prepare and file, and furnish to each Selling Holder a reasonable number of copies of, any such supplement or amendment.

(i) The Company will cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely delivery, preparation and delivery of certificates, with requisite CUSIP numbers, representing Registrable Securities to be sold.

(j) The Company will otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its securityholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months, beginning after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission).

(k) Subject to Section  2.3(a) , in the case of a Qualified Offering hereunder, the Company will enter into and perform its obligations under customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement, if any, in customary form and including provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution in customary form and consistent with the provisions relating to indemnification and contribution contained herein) and take such other actions as are reasonably required and at such times as customarily occur in similar registered offerings in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities subject to such Qualified Offering, including:

(i) making such representations and warranties to the Selling Holders and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers in similar offerings;

6

(ii) using its reasonable best efforts to obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof addressed to the underwriters, if any, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in similar offerings;

(iii) using its reasonable best efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the Company’s independent certified public accountants addressed to the underwriters, if any, which letters shall be customary in form and shall cover matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters to underwriters in connection with similar offerings; and

(iv) to the extent reasonably requested by the lead or managing underwriters, making the Company’s executive officers available for customary presentations to investors to discuss the affairs of the Company at times that may be mutually and reasonably agreed upon (including, to the extent customary, senior management participation in due diligence calls with the underwriters and their counsel and, in the case of any marketed Qualified Offering, sending appropriate officers of the Company to attend “road shows” scheduled in reasonable number and at reasonable times in connection with any such Qualified Offering).

(l) In the case of a Qualified Offering, the Company will make available for inspection by any Selling Holder of Registrable Securities subject to such Qualified Offering, any underwriter participating in any disposition of such Registrable Securities and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any such Selling Holder or underwriter (the “ Inspectors ”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “ Records ”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspector in connection with such registration statement, subject to entry by each such Inspector of a customary confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company.

(m) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.1 or 2.2 to be listed on the securities exchange or national quotation system on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted, subject to the listing standards of such securities exchange or national quotation system.

(n) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate the registration and thereafter to complete the distribution of the Registrable Securities so registered.

(o) The Company may require each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities to promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding such Selling Holder, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of distribution of the Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required in connection with such registration. No Holder may include Registrable Securities in any registration statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder has furnished to the Company such information. Each Holder further agrees to furnish as soon as reasonably practicable to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading.

(p) Each Selling Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Sections 2.4(f) or 2.4(h) or upon receipt of a Suspension Notice, such Selling Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Selling Holder’s receipt of written notice from the Company that such disposition may be made and, in the case of Section  2.4(h) copies of any supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section  2.4(h) and, if so directed by the Company, such Selling Holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. Each Selling Holder of

7

Registrable Securities agrees that it will immediately notify the Company at any time when a prospectus relating to the registration of such Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of an event as a result of which information previously furnished by such Selling Holder to the Company in writing for inclusion in such prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made.

Section 2.5. Registration Expenses . In connection with the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement and the Company’s performance of its other obligations hereunder, the Company shall pay any and all third party (except with respect to clause (iv) below) registration expenses incurred in connection therewith (the “ Registration Expenses ”), regardless whether a registration statement is declared effective by the Commission, including: (i) all registration and filing fees; (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii) all printing expenses; (iv) all of the Company’s internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties); (v) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities; (vi) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and customary fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses of any comfort letters or costs associated with the delivery by independent certified public accountants of a comfort letter or comfort letters); (vii) all fees and disbursements of the Company’s auditors, including in connection with the preparation of comfort letters, and any transfer agent and registrar fees; (viii) all fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration and (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Initial Holder; provided , however , that the Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities or any transfer taxes relating to the registration or sale of the Registrable Securities.

Section 2.6. Indemnification by the Company . The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each Holder’s officers, directors, agents, partners, members, employees, managers, advisors, sub-advisors, attorneys, representatives and Affiliates, each underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act), and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, a “ Holder Indemnitee ”) from and against, as incurred, any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals) that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, preliminary prospectus, prospectus, or free writing prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities (in each case, as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or that arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein 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, except to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission included in such registration statement or in any such prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information regarding such Holder Indemnitee which was furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder Indemnitee or on such Holder Indemnitee’s behalf expressly for inclusion therein.

Section 2.7. Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities . Each Selling Holder agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, trustees, agents, employees, attorneys, representatives and Affiliates, each underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act), and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Selling Holder, but only with respect to information relating to such Selling Holder that was included in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by such Selling Holder or on such Selling Holder’s behalf expressly for use in any registration statement, preliminary prospectus, prospectus or free writing prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto; provided , however , that the total obligations of such Selling Holder under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, obligations arising under

8

Section  2.9 herein) will be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such Selling Holder (after deducting any discounts and commissions) from the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

Section 2.8. Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section  2.6 or 2.7 , such person (an “ Indemnified Party ”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (an “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing of the commencement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses ( provided , however , that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice will not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any obligations hereunder, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided , however , that (i) if the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the action or proceeding within twenty (20) Business Days after receiving notice from such Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party believes it has failed to do so, or (ii) if such Indemnified Party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding which is also brought against the Indemnifying Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnifying Party, then, in any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the expenses therefor subject to the remainder of this Section  2.8 . It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate firm of attorneys in each jurisdiction at any time for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred upon written request and presentation of invoices. In the case of any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm shall be designated in writing by (i) in the case of Persons indemnified pursuant to Section  2.6 hereof, the Selling Holders which owned a majority of the Registrable Securities sold under the applicable registration statement and (ii) in the case of Persons indemnified pursuant to Section  2.7 , the Company. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or (to the knowledge of the Indemnifying Party) threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnity or contribution could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim), unless such settlement, compromise or judgment includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim without any admission of fault, culpability, failure to act or liability by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Party.

Section 2.9. Contribution . If the indemnification provided for in Section  2.6 or 2.7 hereof is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses that otherwise would have been covered by Section  2.6 or 2.7 hereof, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of each Selling Holder, on the other hand, in connection with such statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of each Selling Holder, on the other, 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 such party.

The Company and the Selling Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant

9

to this Section  2.9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section  2.9 , no Selling Holder shall be required to contribute any amount which in the aggregate exceeds the amount that such Selling Holder would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if indemnification as provided for under Section  2.7 had been available under the circumstances. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Selling Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section  2.9 , if any, are several in proportion to amount that the proceeds of the offering actually received by such Selling Holder bears to the total proceeds of the offering received by all the Selling Holders, and not joint.

Section 2.10. Rule 144 . The Company covenants that it will use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable requirements under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder so as to enable any Holder to sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including to (a) make and keep public information regarding the Company available, as those terms are defined in Rule 144(c)(1), (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner any reports and documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (c) furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested by a Holder so as to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the exemptions provided by Rule 144, and (d) take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 (including reasonably cooperating with the Holders to cause the transfer agent to remove any restrictive legend on certificates evidencing Registrable Securities). This Section  2.10 shall survive the termination of the Agreement so long as any Holder continues to hold Registrable Securities.

Section 2.11. Participation in Qualified Offerings .

(a) No Person may participate in any underwritten offerings hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (provided that any underwriting agreements shall be in customary form, and including provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution in customary form) and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and these registration rights provided for in this Article II .

(b) The Company agrees that, if requested by the managing underwriter(s) in any Qualified Offering contemplated by this Agreement, (i) it will enter into a customary “lock-up” agreement providing that it will not, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of any securities that are the same or similar to the Registrable Securities being offered (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities) (subject to customary exceptions) and will not enter into derivative transactions with similar economic effect, and (ii) it will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain agreements from its directors and executive officers regarding the same, in each case, for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days from the effective date of the registration statement pertaining to such Registrable Securities or from such other date as may be requested by the underwriter(s).

Section 2.12. Suspension of Use of Registration Statement . If the Board of Trustees of the Company determines in its good faith judgment that the filing of a registration statement or the use of any related prospectus (I) would be

10

materially detrimental to the Company because (x) such action would require the disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or the disclosure of which would materially impede the Company’s ability to consummate a significant transaction, and that the Company is not otherwise required by applicable securities laws or regulations to disclose or (y) the Company is actively undertaking an underwritten offering of its equity securities or is in active discussions with underwriters regarding an underwritten offering of its equity securities and it is reasonably likely that such an underwritten offering will be promptly initiated by the Company, or (II) is prohibited because all reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act have not been filed by the required date without regard to any extension, or if the consummation of any business combination or acquisition or investment by the Company has occurred or is probable for purposes of Rule 3-05, Rule 3-14 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act or any similar successor rule, upon written notice thereof by the Company to the Holders, then upon the delivery of written notice (a “ Suspension Notice ”) of such determination by the Company to the Holders which shall be signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company certifying thereto, the rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement shall be suspended (a “ Suspension Period ”) until the earliest of (i) the date upon which the Company notifies the Holders in writing that suspension of such rights for the grounds set forth in this Section  2.12 is no longer necessary, (ii) the date upon which copies of any applicable supplemented or amended prospectus is distributed to the Holders (in the case of a suspension pursuant to clause (I)(x) above), (iii) in the case of clause (II), the date upon which the Company has filed such reports or obtained and filed the financial information required by Rule 3-05, Rule 3-14 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X to be included or incorporated by reference, as applicable, in a Shelf Registration Statement, and (iv) the ninetieth (90th) day after delivery of the Suspension Notice; provided , that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise any such right more than one (1) time in any twelve (12) month period or less than thirty (30) days from the termination of the prior such Suspension Period, as applicable; and provided further , that in no event shall the number of days covered by one or more Suspension Periods exceed one hundred and fifty-five (155) days in any three hundred and sixty-five (365)-day period. During any Suspension Period, the Company shall also delay the filing or effectiveness of, and shall not sell or permit a sale under, any registration statement with respect to any equity securities of the Company to be sold by the Company or by any other shareholders of the Company, other than (x) sales pursuant to a Company Offering for the account of the Company, (y) sales under a Company-sponsored dividend reinvestment plan or pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or any substitute forms that may be adopted by the Commission) or filed in connection with an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing securityholders, or (z) in the case of a suspension pursuant to clause (I)(y) above, sales by shareholders of the Company not involving an offering pursuant to an effective registration statement sold to an underwriter on a firm commitment basis for reoffering and resale to the public and not involving an offering that is a “bought deal” with one or more investment banks and, in each case of this clause (z), not requiring the Company to undertake any of the types of actions contemplated by clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section  2.4(k) (as described in this clause (z), a “ Permitted Offering ”). The Company agrees to give the notice under (i) above as promptly as practicable following the date that such suspension of rights is no longer necessary. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a suspension pursuant to clause (I)(y) above, the Holders shall be permitted to make a Permitted Offering if other shareholders of the Company are being allowed by the Company to make Permitted Offerings.

Section 2.13. Additional Shares . The Company, at its option, may register under a Shelf Registration Statement and any filings with any state securities commissions filed pursuant to this Agreement, any number of unissued Series A Preferred Shares (and the maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the series A Preferred Shares based on the share cap set forth in the Articles Supplementary), or any Series A Preferred Shares (and the maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the series A Preferred Shares based on the share cap set forth in the Articles Supplementary) owned by any other shareholder or shareholders of the Company; provided that in no event shall the inclusion of such shares on a registration statement reduce the amount offered for the account of the Holders in any offering at the request of the Holders pursuant to Section  2.3 . From and after the date hereof, the Company shall not enter into any agreement granting registration rights to any party with respect to the Company’s securities that would cause a violation of the rights granted to the Holders hereunder. The Company represents and warrants to each Holder that, as of the date of this Agreement, no Person has any registration rights with respect to any securities of the Company.
