Ladies and Gentlemen:

Alexander & Baldwin, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement (this “Agreement”) with KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, BofA Securities, Inc., Citizens JMP Securities, LLC, Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, Piper Sandler & Co. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, each as sales agent and/or principal and/or forward seller (in any such capacity, each an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”) and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, Bank of America, N.A., Citizens JMP Securities, LLC, Piper Sandler Financial Products II Inc., and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, each as forward purchaser (in such capacity, each a “Forward Purchaser” and together the “Forward Purchasers”), with respect to the issuance and sale from time to time by the Company of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, without par value (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $200,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”) in one or more Agency Transactions, through one or more Forward Transactions or pursuant to one or more Terms Agreements (as such terms are each defined below), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that, if shares of Common Stock are offered or sold through any Agent acting as forward seller for a Forward Purchaser (the “Forward Seller”), then such Agent, as Forward Seller, shall be acting as sales agent for such Forward Purchaser with respect to the offering and sale of such Shares, and, except in cases where this Agreement expressly refers to an Agent acting as sales agent for the Company or unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to any Agent acting as sales agent shall also be deemed to apply to such Agent when acting as Forward Seller, mutatis mutandis. Only an Agent that is, or is affiliated with, a Forward Purchaser may act as Forward Seller for such Forward Purchaser.

The Company may enter into one or more forward stock purchase transactions with any of the Forward Purchasers as set forth in one or more separate letter agreements, each in substantially the form attached as Annex A hereto (including the execution of one or more supplemental confirmations substantially in the form of Annex A thereto) and with such changes therein as the parties thereto may agree (each, a “Master Forward Confirmation” and, collectively, the “Master Forward Confirmations”). Under each Master Forward Confirmation, the Company will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such Master Forward Confirmation and in this Agreement, deliver and sell to the applicable Forward Purchaser or an affiliate thereof (including the Forward Seller affiliated with such Forward Purchaser) up to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as may be sold in accordance with this Agreement in connection with such Master Forward Confirmation. In connection with any Master Forward Confirmation entered into as contemplated by this Agreement, the applicable Forward Purchaser or an affiliate thereof will attempt to borrow and then offer, through the applicable Forward Seller on behalf of such Forward Purchaser, the applicable Shares for sale on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-281506) for the registration of certain securities, including the Shares (the “registration statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Rules and Regulations”). The Registration Statement (as defined below) sets forth the material terms of the offering, sale and plan of distribution of the Shares and contains additional information concerning the Company and its business. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Registration Statement” means the registration statement, as amended, at the time of the registration statement’s effectiveness for purposes of Section 11 of the Act, as such section applies to the Agents or Forward Sellers, including (i) all documents filed as a part thereof or incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference therein and (ii) any information contained or incorporated by reference in a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations, to the extent such information is deemed, pursuant to Rule 430B or Rule 430C of the Rules and Regulations, to be part of the registration statement at the effective time. Except where the context requires, the term “Base Prospectus” means the prospectus dated August 13, 2024, filed as part of the Registration Statement, including the documents incorporated by reference therein as of the date of such prospectus. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Prospectus Supplement” means the most recent prospectus supplement relating to the Shares, to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations on or before the second business day after the date hereof (or such earlier time as may be required under the Act), in the form furnished by the Company to the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers in connection with the offering of the Shares. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Prospectus” means the Prospectus Supplement (and any additional prospectus supplement prepared in accordance with the last sentence of Section ‎3(aa) and filed in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations), together with the Base Prospectus attached to or used with the Prospectus Supplement. “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Section ‎3(g). Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus shall, unless otherwise stated, be deemed to refer to and include the documents, if any, incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”), including, unless the context otherwise requires, the documents, if any, filed as exhibits to such Incorporated Documents. Any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus shall, unless stated otherwise, be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) on or after the initial effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, and deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

The Company confirms its agreement with each Agent, Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser as follows:

1. Sale and Delivery of the Shares.

(a)            Agency and Forward Transactions. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, (i) the Company and the Agents, severally and not jointly, agree that the Company may from time to time issue and sell through an Agent, acting as sales agent for the Company, the Shares (an “Agency Transaction”) and (ii) the Company, the Forward Purchasers and the applicable Forward Sellers, severally and not jointly, agree that the Company may from time to time sell Shares on a forward basis pursuant to a Master Forward Confirmation entered into with the applicable Forward Purchaser in accordance with this Section 1, which shall provide for the forward purchase of such Shares in a number equal to the Forward Hedge Shares (as defined below), and in connection therewith, the Forward Purchaser (or an affiliate thereof) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow and its affiliated Forward Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Forward Hedge Shares pursuant to this Agreement, and the manner in which and other terms upon which such forward sale is to occur (each such transaction being referred to as a “Forward Transaction”). In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, each Agent, each Forward Seller and each Forward Purchaser agrees as follow:

(i)            The Company may, from time to time, propose to a Designated Agent (as defined below), with respect to an Agency Transaction, or a Designated Forward Purchaser (as defined below) and its affiliated Forward Seller, with respect to a Forward Transaction, the terms of an Agency Transaction or a Forward Transaction, as applicable, by means of a telephone call, electronic mail, or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties (confirmed promptly by electronic mail (an “Agency Placement Notice” or a “Forward Placement Notice”, as applicable)) from any of the individuals listed as authorized representatives of the Company on Schedule 1 hereto (each, an “Authorized Company Representative”) (which list may be updated from time to time upon written notice delivered by the Company to the Agents, Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers). Any Agency Placement Notice shall specify the trading day(s) for the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (which may not be a day on which the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time) on which the Shares are to be sold (each, a “Trading Day”); the maximum number of Shares that the Company wishes to sell in the aggregate on each Trading Day, which number may instead be listed as an amount of aggregate gross proceeds; and the minimum price per share at which the Company is willing to sell the Shares (the “Floor Price”). The electronic mail confirming any Forward Placement Notice shall be in the form attached as Annex B. As used herein “Designated Agent” shall mean, with respect to any Agency Placement Notice, the Agent selected by the Company to act as sales agent in accordance with Section ‎1(f) hereof, provided that such Agent selected by the Company has agreed to act as sales agent pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii) below, and “Designated Forward Purchaser” shall mean, with respect to any Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice (as defined below), the Forward Purchaser identified in such Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice; provided that such Agent selected by the Company has agreed to act as Forward Seller pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii) below.

(ii)           If such proposed terms for an Agency Transaction are acceptable to the Designated Agent, it shall confirm and accept the terms by means of electronic mail delivered to an Authorized Company Representative. If such proposed terms for a Forward Transaction are acceptable to the Designated Forward Purchaser and its affiliated Forward Seller (the “Designated Forward Seller”), they shall confirm and accept the terms by means of electronic mail delivered to an Authorized Company Representative. With respect to a Forward Placement Notice delivered by the Company, the Designated Forward Purchaser and the Designated Forward Seller (each acting in its sole discretion) shall promptly, and in any event prior to the opening of trading on the Trading Day following the Trading Day on which such Forward Placement Notice was received, notify the Company that it chooses to (x) accept the terms proposed in such Forward Placement Notice, (y) decline to participate in the proposed Forward Transaction or (z) propose an amended Forward Placement Notice setting forth the terms upon which the Designated Forward Purchaser and the Designated Forward Seller would participate in the proposed Forward Transaction (such amended Forward Placement Notice, an “Amended Forward Placement Notice”); provided, however, that in the case of clause (z), the Company may accept or reject such Amended Forward Placement Notice in its sole discretion no later than on the Trading Day following the Trading Day on which such Amended Forward Placement Notice was delivered.

4

(iii)          (1) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Designated Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell all of the Shares designated in, and subject to the terms of, an applicable Agency Placement Notice on the Trading Day(s) specified therein. The Designated Agent shall not sell any Shares at a price lower than the Floor Price specified in the applicable Agency Placement Notice. With respect to each applicable Agency Placement Notice, the Company acknowledges and agrees with each Agent that (x) there can be no assurance that a Designated Agent will be successful in selling all or any of such Shares, (y) a Designated Agent shall incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell any Shares for any reason other than a failure by such Designated Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Shares as required by this Agreement and (z) an Agent shall be under no obligation to purchase any Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement (except in the case of a Principal Transaction (as defined below) pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Terms Agreement (as defined below)).

(2) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the applicable Master Forward Confirmation, upon the delivery of a Forward Placement Notice and the acceptance thereof by the Designated Forward Purchaser and the Designated Forward Seller or upon the acceptance of an Amended Forward Placement Notice by the Company, the Designated Forward Purchaser (or an affiliate thereof) will use commercially reasonable efforts to borrow, offer and sell shares of Common Stock (such shares, the “Forward Hedge Shares”) through the Designated Forward Seller to hedge the applicable transaction under the applicable Master Forward Confirmation, and the Designated Forward Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Forward Hedge Shares at market prevailing prices in accordance with the terms of such Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice, as applicable; provided, however, that the number of Forward Hedge Shares sold shall not exceed an amount that when multiplied by the Initial Forward Price (as defined in the Master Forward Confirmation) would exceed the remaining notional amount available under the Maximum Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of any Master Forward Confirmation, if in respect of any Forward Transaction (x) on or prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Trading Day during the Forward Hedge Selling Period (as defined below), in connection with establishing its commercially reasonable hedge position in respect of such Forward Transaction, the Designated Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate), in its good faith and commercially reasonable judgment, is unable, after using commercially reasonable efforts, to borrow and deliver for sale the full number of Shares to be borrowed and sold in accordance with the applicable Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice or (y) in such Designated Forward Purchaser’s good faith and commercially reasonable judgment, it (or its affiliate) would incur a stock loan cost of more than a rate equal to the Maximum Specified Borrow Rate specified in the Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice for such Forward Transaction with respect to all or any portion of such full number of Shares, the effectiveness of such Forward Transaction shall be limited to the number of Shares the Designated Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) is so able to borrow in connection with establishing its commercially reasonable hedge position of such Forward Transaction at a cost of not more than a rate equal to the Maximum Specified Borrow Rate for such Transaction, which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be zero. As used herein, “Forward Hedge Selling Period” means the period of consecutive Trading Days (as specified in the applicable Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day on which such Forward Placement Notice is delivered or Amended Forward Placement Notice is accepted; provided, that if, prior to the scheduled end of any Forward Hedge Selling Period, (x) any event occurs that would permit a Forward Purchaser to designate a “Scheduled Trading Day” as a “Termination Settlement Date” (as each such term is defined in the Master Forward Confirmation) under, and pursuant to, the provisions under the heading “Termination Settlement” in the Master Forward Confirmation or (y) an “Insolvency Filing” (as such term is defined in the Master Forward Confirmation) occurs, then the Forward Hedge Selling Period shall immediately terminate as of the first such occurrence (or, if later, when persons at the Forward Seller responsible for executing sales of Forward Hedge Shares become aware of such occurrence). If any Forward Hedge Shares are sold during a Forward Hedge Selling Period, the applicable Forward Seller will confirm in writing to the Company the number of Forward Hedge Shares sold on any Trading Day and the volume-weighted sales price thereof no later than the opening of trading on the immediately following Trading Day.

5

(iv)          The Company, acting through an Authorized Company Representative, or a Designated Agent, a Designated Forward Purchaser or a Designated Forward Seller may, upon notice to the other party hereto by telephone (confirmed promptly by electronic mail), suspend an offering of the Shares specified in an applicable Agency Placement Notice for which a Designated Agent is acting as sales agent or an applicable Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice for which a Designated Forward Seller is acting as sales agent for the Designated Forward Purchaser; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations (including obligations under the applicable Master Forward Confirmation) with respect to the Shares (including any Forward Hedge Shares) sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice. In addition, the Company, acting through an Authorized Company Representative, may, upon notice to the Designated Agent or the Designated Forward Purchaser and its affiliated Designated Forward Seller by telephone (confirmed promptly by electronic mail to the Designated Agent or the Designated Forward Purchaser and its affiliated Designated Forward Seller, as applicable) seek to terminate or amend the terms of an Agency Transaction by the Designated Agent as set forth in an Agency Placement Notice or of a Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice to the extent not completed at the time of the Designated Agent’s or the Designated Forward Purchaser and its affiliated Designated Forward Seller’s receipt of the Company’s notice of its intent to terminate or amend such Agency Transaction or Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice, and the Designated Agent or the Designated Forward Purchaser and its affiliated Designated Forward Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to implement such termination or amendment; provided, however, the Designated Agent or the Designated Forward Purchaser and its affiliated Designated Forward Seller, as applicable may, in its absolute discretion, reject such termination or amendment and the Designated Agent or the Designated Forward Purchaser and its affiliated Designated Forward Seller, as applicable, will not be obligated to take any action that in its reasonable discretion would disrupt a sale in progress but not yet confirmed.

6

(v)           If the terms of any Agency Transaction as set forth in an Agency Placement Notice contemplate that the Shares shall be sold on more than one Trading Day, then the Company and the Designated Agent shall mutually agree to such additional terms and conditions as they deem necessary in respect of such multiple Trading Days, and such additional terms and conditions shall be binding to the same extent as any other terms contained in the relevant Agency Placement Notice.

(vi)          Each Agent, as sales agent in an Agency Transaction, or Forward Seller, as agent in a Forward Transaction, shall not make any sales of the Shares on behalf of the Company or its affiliated Forward Purchaser, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, other than (x) by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Exchange that qualify for delivery of the Prospectus in accordance with Rule 153 of the Rules and Regulations, in negotiated transactions or in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market offerings” under Rule 415(a)(4) of the Rules and Regulations, including without limitation sales made to or through market makers other than on an exchange, in block transactions or by any other method permitted by law, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices and (y) such other sales of the Shares permitted by law on behalf of the Company in its capacity as agent of the Company or as agent of its affiliated Forward Purchaser, as applicable, as shall be agreed by the Company and such Agent or Forward Seller in writing.

(vii)         (1) The compensation to the Designated Agent for sales of the Shares in an Agency Transaction with respect to which the Designated Agent acts as sales agent hereunder shall be in the form of commissions equal to up to 2.0% of the gross offering proceeds of the Shares specified in the Agency Placement Notice, unless otherwise specified and agreed by the Designated Agent and the Company in the Agency Placement Notice, including as such Agency Placement Notice may be amended under Section ‎1(a)(iv) above. The Designated Agent shall provide written confirmation to the Company (which may be provided by email to an Authorized Company Representative) following the close of trading on the Exchange on each Trading Day on which Shares are sold in an Agency Transaction pursuant to an Agency Placement Notice under this Agreement, setting forth (i) the number of Shares sold on such Trading Day, (ii) the gross offering proceeds received from such sales, (iii) the commission payable by the Company to the Designated Agent with respect to such sales and (iv) the net offering proceeds (being the gross offering proceeds for such sales less the commission payable for such sales) (the “Net Offering Proceeds”).

(2) The compensation to the Designated Forward Seller in relation to a Forward Transaction shall be paid in the form of a reduction to the Initial Forward Price (as defined in the Master Forward Confirmation) equal to the product of (x) the Forward Hedge Selling Commission Rate for such Forward Transaction multiplied by (y) the “Volume Weighted Hedge Price” (as defined in the Master Forward Confirmation) for such Forward Transaction. “Forward Hedge Selling Commission Rate” means, for any Forward Transaction, the rate specified in the related Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice, not to exceed 2.0%. The Designated Forward Seller shall provide written confirmation to the Company (which may be provided by email to an Authorized Company Representative) following the close of trading on the Exchange on each Trading Day on which Shares are sold in a Forward Transaction pursuant to a Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice under this Agreement, setting forth (i) the number of Shares sold on such Trading Day and (ii) the gross offering proceeds received from such sales.

7

(viii)       Unless the Designated Agent agrees otherwise in writing, settlement for sales of the Shares in an Agency Transaction pursuant to this Agreement shall occur on the first Trading Day following the date on which such sales are made (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) (each such settlement day, an “Agency Settlement Date”). On each Agency Settlement Date, the Shares sold through the Designated Agent in an Agency Transaction for settlement on such date shall be issued and delivered by the Company to the Designated Agent against payment by the Designated Agent to the Company of the Net Offering Proceeds from the sale of such Shares. Settlement for all such Shares shall be effected by delivery of the Shares by the Company or its transfer agent to the Designated Agent’s or its designee’s account (provided, that the Designated Agent shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the relevant Agency Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form, in return for payment in same-day funds delivered to the account designated by the Company. If the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), shall default on its obligation to deliver the Shares on any Agency Settlement Date, the Company shall (i) hold the Designated Agent harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or as a result from such default by the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) and (ii) pay the Designated Agent any commission, discount or other compensation to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default.

(ix)          No later than the opening of the Trading Day following the last date of the Forward Hedge Selling Period set forth in the applicable Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice (or, if earlier, the date on which the sale of Shares through the Designated Forward Seller are terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Master Forward Confirmation), the Designated Forward Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the Company, and the Company, absent manifest error, shall execute and return to the Designated Forward Purchaser, a “Supplemental Confirmation” substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to the form of Master Forward Confirmation attached as Annex A hereto (each, a “Supplemental Confirmation”). Each Supplemental Confirmation shall set forth the “Trade Date” for such Forward Transaction (which shall, subject to the terms of the Master Forward Confirmation, be the last Trading Day of such Forward Hedge Selling Period), the “Effective Date” for such Forward Transaction (which shall, subject to the terms of the Master Forward Confirmation, be the date one Settlement Cycle (as such term is defined in the Master Forward Confirmation) immediately following the last Trading Day of such Forward Hedge Selling Period), the initial “Base Amount” for such Forward Transaction (which shall, subject to the terms of the Master Forward Confirmation, be the number of Forward Hedge Shares that the Designated Forward Seller has sold during such Forward Hedge Selling Period), the “Maturity Date” for such Forward Transaction (which shall, subject to the terms of the applicable Master Forward Confirmation, be the date that follows the last Trading Day of such Forward Hedge Selling Period by the number of days, months or years set forth opposite the caption “Term” in the Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice for such Forward Transaction, the “Forward Price Reduction Dates” for such Forward Transaction (which shall be each of the dates set forth below the caption “Forward Price Reduction Dates” in the Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice for such Forward), the “Forward Price Reduction Amounts” corresponding to such “Forward Price Reduction Dates” (which shall be each amount set forth opposite each “Forward Price Reduction Date” and below the caption “Forward Price Reduction Amounts” in the Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice for such Forward Transaction), the “Spread” for such Forward (which shall be the amount set forth opposite the term “Spread” in the Forward Placement Notice or Amended Forward Placement Notice), the “Initial Forward Price” for such Forward (which shall be determined as provided in the Master Forward Confirmation), the “Volume-Weighted Hedge Price,” the “Specified Borrow Rate,” the “Maximum Specified Borrow Rate,” the “Forward Shares,” the “Threshold Number of Shares,” the “Threshold Price” and the “Notice Settlement Number.”

8

(x)           Each of the Company, the Designated Forward Purchaser and its affiliated Designated Forward Seller acknowledge and agree that: (i) there can be no assurance that the Designated Forward Purchaser will be successful in borrowing, or that the affiliated Designated Forward Seller will be successful in selling, the Forward Hedge Shares; (ii) the Designated Forward Seller affiliated with such Designated Forward Purchaser will incur no liability or obligation to the Company, the Designated Forward Purchaser or any other person if it does not sell Forward Hedge Shares borrowed by the Designated Forward Purchaser for any reason other than a failure by such Designated Forward Seller to use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Forward Hedge Shares as required under this Section 1; and (iii) the Designated Forward Purchaser will incur no liability or obligation to the Company, its affiliated Designated Forward Seller or any other person if it does not borrow Forward Hedge Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Designated Forward Purchaser to use commercially reasonable efforts to borrow such Forward Hedge Shares as required under this Section 1. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Designated Forward Purchaser’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to borrow all or any portion of the Forward Hedge Shares (and the obligation of its affiliated Designated Forward Seller to use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such portion of the Forward Hedge Shares) for any Forward Transaction hereunder shall be subject in all respects to the provisions under Section 3 in the related Master Forward Confirmation. In acting hereunder, the Agent affiliated with any Forward Purchaser will be acting as agent for its affiliated Forward Purchaser and not as principal.

(b)           Principal Transactions. If the Company wishes to issue and sell the Shares other than as set forth in subsection ‎(a) of this Section ‎1 (each, a “Principal Transaction”), the Company will notify one or more of the Designated Agents of the proposed terms of such Principal Transaction. If the Designated Agent(s), acting as principal, wishes to accept such proposed terms (which it or they may decline to do for any reason in its or their sole discretion) or, following discussions with the Company, wishes to accept amended terms, the Designated Agent(s) and the Company will enter into an agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Terms Agreement”) that sets forth the terms of such Principal Transaction, including, without limitation, the time, date and place of delivery of and payment for the Shares to be sold pursuant to such Principal Transaction (each of such date and each Agency Settlement Date, a “Settlement Date”). The terms set forth in a Terms Agreement shall not be binding on the Company or the Designated Agent(s) unless and until each of the Company and the Designated Agent(s) has executed such Terms Agreement accepting all of such terms. The commitment of the Designated Agent(s) to purchase the Shares pursuant to any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement shall control.

Under no circumstances shall the Company propose to the Agents, Forwards Sellers or Forward Purchasers, or the Agents or the Forward Sellers effect, a sale of Shares in an Agency Transaction, a Forward Transaction or a Principal Transaction pursuant to this Agreement if such sale would (i) cause the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement to exceed the Maximum Amount, (ii) cause the number of Shares sold to exceed the number of shares of Common Stock available for offer and sale under the then effective Registration Statement or (iii) cause the number of Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement to exceed the number of Shares authorized from time to time to be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement by the Company’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers in writing.

(f)            Use of Sales Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers. The Company agrees that any offer to sell, any solicitation of an offer to buy, or any sales of the Shares by the Company or any Forward Purchaser shall only be effected by or through only one of the Agents or Forward Sellers, which the Company shall select in its sole discretion in the case of an Agent, on any single given day, but in no event by more than one Agent or Forward Seller, and the Company shall in no event request that more than one Agent or Forward Seller sell Shares on the same day; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall apply only with respect to Agency Transactions and Forward Transactions.

10

(g)           Continuing Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. Any obligation of (i) the Designated Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on behalf of the Company as sales agent or (ii) the Designated Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) to use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow Shares and its affiliated Designated Forward Seller to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Shares shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the continuing satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section ‎4 of this Agreement.

2.             Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and covenants with, each Agent, Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser as follows:

(a)           Effectiveness of Registration. The Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto have become effective. The Company has responded to all requests, if any, of the Commission for additional or supplemental information. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, are contemplated or threatened by the Commission.

This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have.

35

(b)           Indemnification of the Company. The Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each director of the Company and each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, but only insofar as losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers furnished in Schedule 2 hereof to the Company by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability that the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers might otherwise have.

(c)           Indemnification Procedures. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section ‎5 shall, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section ‎5, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section ‎5 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iv) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges shall be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section ‎5 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section ‎5(c), the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 90 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 60 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

36

(d)           Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section ‎5 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable or insufficient from the Company, the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers, the Company, the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers shall contribute, severally, to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including, without limitation, any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company from persons other than the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, such as persons who control the Company within the meaning of the Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the Company, who also may be liable for contribution) to which the Company, the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers on the other hand. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company (including the proceeds under any Master Forward Confirmation assuming Physical Settlement (as such term is defined in the Master Forward Confirmation) on the Maturity Date (as such term is defined in the Master Forward Confirmation)) bear to the sum of (x) in the case of the Agents, (i) the total compensation to the Agents pursuant to Section ‎1(a)(vii) (in the case of one or more Agency Transactions) and (ii) the discounts and commissions received by the Agents as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus (in the case of one or more Principal Transactions pursuant to Terms Agreements), (y) in the case of the Forward Sellers, the total compensation to the Forward Sellers pursuant to Section ‎1(a)(vii) (in the case of one or more Forward Transactions) and (z) in the case of the Forward Purchasers, the aggregate Spread (as such term is defined in the Master Forward Confirmation) received by such Forward Purchaser under the applicable Master Forward Confirmation (net of any related stock borrow costs or other costs or expenses actually incurred). If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this subsection ‎(d) shall be deemed to include, for purpose of this subsection ‎(d), 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), no Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the sum of (i) the total compensation to such Agent pursuant to Section ‎1(a)(vii) (in the case of one or more Agency Transactions hereunder) and (ii) the discounts and commissions received by such Agent as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus (in the case of one or more Principal Transactions pursuant to Terms Agreements), no Forward Seller shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the aggregate compensation to the Forward Sellers pursuant to Section ‎1(a)(vii) (in the case of one or more Forward Transactions), no Forward Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the aggregate Spread (as such term is defined in the Master Forward Confirmation) received by such Forward Purchaser under the applicable Master Forward Confirmation net of any related stock borrow costs or other costs or expenses actually incurred and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this subsection ‎(d), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this subsection ‎(d), will notify any such party from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify will not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it may have under this subsection ‎(d). No party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

37

(e)           Survival. The obligations of the Company under this Section ‎5 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to any affiliate of the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers and each person, if any, who controls the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers or any such affiliate within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers under this Section ‎5 shall be in addition to any liability which it may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section ‎5 and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers, (ii) acceptance of any of the Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

6.             Termination.

(a)           The Company may terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time upon giving prior written notice to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to the other party, except that (i) with respect to any pending sale, the obligations of the Company, including, without limitation, in respect of compensation of the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; (ii) the provisions of Sections ‎2, ‎3 (except that if no Shares have been previously sold hereunder or under any Terms Agreement, only Section ‎3(l)), ‎5, ‎7(c), ‎7(e) and ‎7(h) of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (iii) the provisions of any Master Forward Confirmation then in effect shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

38

(b)           Each Agent, Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser may terminate its own obligations under this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time upon giving prior written notice to the Company. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to the other party, except that (i) with respect to any pending sale, the obligations of the Company, including, without limitation, in respect of compensation of the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; (ii) the provisions of Sections ‎2, ‎3 (except that if no Shares have been previously sold hereunder or under any Terms Agreement, only Section ‎3(l)), ‎5, ‎7(c), ‎7(e) and ‎7(h) of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (iii) the provisions of any Master Forward Confirmation then in effect shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. In the case of any purchase by the Agents pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the Agents may, by written notice to the Company, terminate its obligations pursuant to such Terms Agreement at any time prior to or on the Settlement Date only if, since the time of execution of the Terms Agreement or the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus:

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Equity Distribution Agreement.

[The Agent[s] shall have the right to purchase from the Company all or a portion of the Additional Shares as may be necessary to cover over-allotments made in connection with the offering of the Purchased Shares at the same purchase price per share to be paid by the Agent[s] to the Company for the Purchased Shares. This option may be exercised by the Agent[s] at any time (but not more than once) on or before the thirtieth day following the date of this Terms Agreement, by written notice to the Company. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Additional Shares as to which the option is being exercised, and the date and time when the Additional Shares are to be delivered (such date, the “Option Settlement Date”); provided, however, that the Option Settlement Date shall not be earlier than the Settlement Date (as set forth in the Schedule hereto) nor earlier than the second business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised nor later than the fifth business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised. Payment of the purchase price for the Additional Shares shall be made at the Option Settlement Date in the same manner and at the same office as the payment for the Purchased Shares.]

Each of the provisions of the Equity Distribution Agreement not specifically related to the solicitation by the Agent[s], as sales agent of the Company, of offers to purchase Shares in Agency Transactions is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be part of this Terms Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein.

Exhibit A–1

An amendment to the Registration Statement, or a supplement to the Prospectus, as the case may be, relating to the Purchased Shares [and the Additional Shares], in the form heretofore delivered to the Agent[s] is now proposed to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Schedule hereto and subject the terms and conditions of the Equity Distribution Agreement incorporated herein as provided in the second immediately preceding paragraph, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Agent[s], and the Agent[s] agree to purchase from the Company, the Purchased Shares at the time and place and at the purchase price set forth in the Schedule hereto.
