RIGHTS AGREEMENT


 


This Rights Agreement
(this “Agreement”), dated as of May 18, 2020, is made between Healthcare Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation
(the “Company”), and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company (the “Rights
Agent”).


 


The Board of Directors
of the Company intends to (a) authorize and declare a dividend of one common share purchase right (a “Right”)
for and on each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Share”) outstanding
on the Close of Business (as defined below) on a date to be set by the Board of Directors in its discretion (the “Record
Date”) and (b) authorize the issuance of one Right (subject to adjustment) with respect to (A) each additional Common
Share issued by the Company between the Record Date and the earliest of (i) the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, (ii)
the Close of Business on the Redemption Date or (iii) the Close of Business on the Final Expiration Date (as all are defined below),
and (B) additional Common Shares that shall become outstanding after the Distribution Date as provided in Section 22 of this Agreement,
each Right initially representing the right to purchase one Common Share, subject to adjustment, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions below.


 


Accordingly, in consideration
of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:


 


		1.	Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings indicated:



 


1.1             
“Acquiring Person” means any Person (other than an Exempt Person or a Passive Investor) who or which,
together with all Affiliates and Associates of the Person, is or becomes on or after the execution of this Agreement the Beneficial
Owner of 2.0% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding, but shall not include (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary of the
Company, (iii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or the Company’s advisor, Healthcare
Trust Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), (iv) any entity or trustee holding (or acting in a fiduciary capacity in
respect of) Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any employee benefit plan or for the purpose of funding any plan or funding
other employee benefits for employees of the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or the Advisor, (v) any Person who has been
permitted by the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, to Beneficially Own 2.0% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding
by means of a written waiver or agreement, provided, that (x) the Person does not Beneficially Own Common Shares above the
permitted percentage and complies in all material respects with the terms and the conditions of the waiver or agreement, and (y)
the waiver or agreement remains in full force and effect, and (vi) any Person who or which, upon the execution of this Agreement,
is a Beneficial Owner of 2.0% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding, other than a Person who or which is not an Affiliate
or Associate of the Beneficial Owner upon the execution of this Agreement and who or which subsequently becomes an Affiliate or
Associate of the Beneficial Owner without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors (a “Grandfathered Stockholder”);
provided, however, that if a Grandfathered Stockholder becomes, after execution of this Agreement, the Beneficial
Owner of any additional Common Shares (in the case of any Person in clause (v), any additional Common Shares above the percentage
permitted by the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof) (other than Common Shares acquired solely as a result of corporate
action of the Company not caused, directly or indirectly, by the Person) at any time such that the Grandfathered Stockholder is
or thereby becomes the Beneficial Owner of 2.0% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding (or any other percentage as would
otherwise result in the Person becoming an Acquiring Person), then the Grandfathered Stockholder shall be deemed an Acquiring Person;
provided, further, that upon the first decrease of a Grandfathered Stockholder’s Beneficial Ownership below 2.0%,
the Grandfathered Stockholder shall no longer be considered a Grandfathered Stockholder and this clause (vi) shall have no further
force or effect with respect to the Grandfathered Stockholder; and provided, further, that for the purposes of calculating
an Acquiring Person’s Beneficial Ownership percentage, Common Shares that the Acquiring Person, its Affiliate(s) or Associate(s)
acquire(s) or attempt(s) to acquire in violation of Section 5.7 of the Charter, even if transferred to a trust, shall be included
in the numerator for purposes of the calculation and deemed as Beneficially Owned by the Acquiring Person or its Affiliate(s) or
Associate(s).


 






    	 	1	 



     


    

 


Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Person shall become an Acquiring Person as the result of the Company acquiring Common Shares by repurchase, tender
or otherwise which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of Common Shares Beneficially
Owned by the Person to 2.0% or more of the then outstanding Common Shares (or any other percentage as would otherwise result in
the Person becoming an Acquiring Person); provided, however, that if a Person would, but for the provisions of this
paragraph, become an Acquiring Person by reason of an acquisition of Common Shares by the Company and shall, after the share acquisition
by the Company, become the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common Shares at any time such that the Person is or thereby becomes
the Beneficial Owner of 2.0% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding (or any other percentage as would otherwise result in
the Person becoming an Acquiring Person) (other than Common Shares acquired solely as a result of corporate action of the Company
not caused, directly or indirectly, by the Person), then the Person shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person.


 


In the event the Common
Shares are listed on NYSE or NASDAQ, notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs, effective upon the commencement of trading, all
references to the 2.0% threshold set forth in this Section 1.1 shall be deemed thereafter to refer to an increased threshold of
4.9% and the Beneficial Ownership of securities of the Company at the commencement of trading shall be used to determine whether
a Person is a Grandfathered Stockholder under the increased threshold.


 


Notwithstanding the
foregoing paragraphs of this Section 1.1, if the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, determines that a Person who would
otherwise be an Acquiring Person, has become an Acquiring Person inadvertently (including, without limitation, because (A) the
Person establishes that it was unaware that it Beneficially Owned that number of Common Shares that would otherwise cause the Person
to be an “Acquiring Person” or (B) the Person establishes that it was aware of the extent of its Beneficial
Ownership of Common Shares but had no actual knowledge of the consequences of its Beneficial Ownership under this Agreement) and
without any intention of obtaining, changing or influencing control of the Company, and the Person divests as promptly as practicable,
as determined by the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, a sufficient number of Common Shares so that the Person would
no longer be an Acquiring Person, then the Person shall not be deemed to have become an Acquiring Person for any purpose of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a bona fide swaps or derivatives dealer who would otherwise be an “Acquiring
Person” has become an Acquiring Person as a result of its actions in the ordinary course of its business that the Board of
Directors, or a committee thereof, determines, in its sole discretion, were taken without the intent or effect of evading or assisting
any other Person to evade the purposes and intent of this Agreement, or otherwise seeking to control or influence the management
or policies of the Company, then, and unless and until the Board of Directors shall otherwise determine, the Person shall not be
deemed to be an “Acquiring Person” for any purpose of this Agreement.

1.2             
A Person shall be deemed to be “Acting in Concert” with another Person if the Person acts (whether or
not pursuant to an express agreement, arrangement or understanding) in concert or in parallel with another Person, or towards a
common goal with another Person, relating to (i) acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of voting securities of the Company or
(ii) changing or influencing the control of the Company or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that
purpose or effect, where (x) each Person knows of the other Person’s conduct or intent and (y) at least one additional factor
supports a determination by the Board of Directors that the Persons intended to act in concert or in parallel, including, without
limitation, exchanging information, attending meetings, conducting discussions, or making or soliciting invitations to act in concert
or in parallel. A Person who is Acting in Concert with another Person shall also be deemed to be Acting in Concert with any third
Person who is also Acting in Concert with the other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall be deemed to be Acting
in Concert with another Person solely as a result of (i) making or receiving a solicitation of, or granting or receiving, revocable
proxies or consents given in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section
14(a) of the Exchange Act by means of a proxy or solicitation statement filed on Schedule 14A, or (ii) soliciting or being solicited
for, or tendering or receiving tenders of securities in a public tender or exchange offer made pursuant to, and in accordance with,
Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act by means of a tender offer statement filed on Schedule TO.

or is, directly or indirectly, the Beneficial Owner of 5.0% or more of any class of equity securities, (ii) any trust or other
estate in which the Person has a substantial beneficial interest or as to which the Person serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary

the exercise or settlement of the Derivative Interest or as the basis upon which the value or settlement amount of the Derivative
Interest is to be calculated in whole or in part or, if the number of Common Shares is not specified in the applicable documents,

		3.	Issue of Right Certificates.



 


3.1             
Until the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Stock Acquisition Date or, in the event
the Board of Directors determines on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day to effect an exchange in accordance with
Section 24 and determines in accordance with Section 24.6 that a later date is advisable, then the later date determined by the
Board (including any date which is after the date of this Agreement and prior to the issuance of the Rights; the date being herein
referred to as the “Distribution Date,” provided, however, that the Distribution Date shall in
no event be prior to the Record Date; provided, further, that the Board of Directors may determine to delay the occurrence
of the Distribution Date until the Board of Directors determines based on the advice of counsel that the exercise or exercisability
of the Right would not result in the Company failing to qualify as a REIT), (x) the Rights will be represented (subject to the
provisions of Section 3.2) by the certificates for Common Shares (or by Book Entry Common Shares) registered in the names of the
holders thereof (which certificates shall also be deemed to be Right Certificates) and not by separate Right Certificates, and
(y) the Rights Certificates and the right to receive Right Certificates will be transferable only in connection with the transfer
of Common Shares. As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, the Company will prepare and execute, and, at the request
of the Company, the Rights Agent will countersign, and the Company will send or cause to be sent (and the Rights Agent will, if
so requested and provided with all necessary information and documents, will, at the expense of the Company, send) by first-class,
insured, postage-prepaid mail, to each record holder of Common Stock as of the Close of Business on the Distribution Date (other
than any Acquiring Person or any Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person), at the address of each record holder shown on
the records of the Company, a Right Certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, representing one Right for
each Common Share so held, subject to adjustment as provided herein; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the Company may choose to use book entry in lieu of physical certificates, in which case “Rights Certificates”
shall be deemed to mean the uncertificated book entry representing the related Rights. In the event that an adjustment in the number
of Rights per Common Share has been made pursuant to Section 11.9 hereof, at the time of distribution of the Rights Certificates,
the Company shall make the necessary and appropriate rounding adjustments (in accordance with Section 14.1 hereof) so that Rights
Certificates representing only whole numbers of Rights are distributed and cash is paid in lieu of any fractional Rights. As of
and after the Distribution Date, the Rights will be represented solely by the Right Certificates. The Company shall promptly notify
the Rights Agent in writing upon the occurrence of the Distribution Date. Until the written notice is received by the Rights Agent,
the Rights Agent may presume conclusively for all purposes that the Distribution Date has not occurred.


 


3.2             
After the Record Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, and before the Expiration Date, the Company will (directly
or, at the expense of the Company, through the Rights Agent or its transfer agent if the Rights Agent or transfer agent is so directed
by the Company and provided with all necessary information and documents) make available a copy of the Summary of Rights to any
Rights holder who so requests. With respect to certificates representing Common Shares (or Book Entry Common Shares) outstanding
as of the Record Date, until the Distribution Date, the Rights will be represented by these certificates (or such Book Entry Common
Shares) registered in the names of the holders thereof together with the Summary of Rights. Until the Distribution Date (or if
earlier, the Expiration Date), the surrender for transfer of any certificate representing Common Shares (or the transfer of any
Book Entry Common Shares) outstanding on the Record Date, with or without a copy of the Summary of Rights, shall also constitute
the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Shares represented thereby. With respect to Book Entry Common Shares outstanding
as of the Record Date, until the Distribution Date, the Rights shall be represented by the balances indicated in the Book Entry
account system of the transfer agent for the Common Shares.


 






    	 	10	 



     


    

 


3.3             
If certificates for Common Shares are issued (including, without limitation, Common Shares acquired by the Company as noted
in this Section 3.3) after the Record Date but prior to the earliest of (i) the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, (ii)
the Redemption Date or (iii) the Close of Business on the Final Expiration Date, these certificates shall have impressed on, printed
on, written on or otherwise affixed to them, in addition to any legend required by the MGCL, Charter or Bylaws, a legend in substantially
the following form:


 


This certificate also represents
and entitles the holder hereof to certain Rights as set forth in a Rights Agreement between Healthcare Trust, Inc. and Computershare
Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent (or any successor Rights Agent), dated as of May 18, 2020, as it may from time to time be
amended or supplemented pursuant to its terms (the “Rights Agreement”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated
herein by reference and a copy of which is on file at the principal executive offices of Healthcare Trust, Inc. Under certain circumstances,
as set forth in the Rights Agreement, the Rights will be represented by separate certificates and will no longer be represented
by this certificate. Healthcare Trust, Inc. will mail to the holder of this certificate a copy of the Rights Agreement without
charge after receipt of a written request therefor. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, Rights that
are or were acquired or Beneficially Owned (as defined in the Rights Agreement) by any Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement)
who becomes an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) or an Associate or Affiliate (each as defined in the Rights
Agreement) thereof, among others, become null and void and will no longer be transferable.


 


With respect to any Book Entry Common Shares,
the foregoing legend shall be included in the Ownership Statement in respect of the Common Stock or in a notice to the record holder
of these shares in accordance with applicable law. With respect to certificates containing the foregoing legend, or any Ownership
Statement or notice containing the foregoing legend delivered to holders of Book Entry Common Shares, until the earliest of the
Distribution Date, the Redemption Date or the Final Expiration Date, the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by
the certificates or Book Entry Common Shares shall be represented by the certificates or Book Entry Common Shares (including any
Ownership Statement) alone, and the surrender for transfer of any such certificate or the transfer of any Book Entry Common Shares
shall also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented thereby. If the Company purchases
or acquires any Common Shares after the Record Date but prior to the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, any Rights associated
with these Common Shares shall be deemed canceled and retired so that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise any Rights
associated with the Common Shares which are no longer outstanding.


 






    	 	11	 



     


    

 


Notwithstanding this Section 3.3, neither
the omission of a legend nor the failure to deliver the notice of legend required hereby shall affect the enforceability of any
part of this Agreement or the rights of any holder of the Rights.


 


3.4             
Prior to the Distribution Date, holders (other than the Company) (“Unitholders”) of partnership units
of the Operating Partnership designated as “OP Units” (“Partnership Units”) shall not be deemed
as holding any Rights solely by reason of the Unitholders holding any Partnership Unit. On the Distribution Date, proper provision
shall be made by the Company in order to provide each Unitholder with the number of Rights, represented by Right Certificates,
as would be issued to the applicable Unitholder as if (i) the Unitholder had exercised its Partnership Unit Redemption Rights with
respect to all Partnership Units held by the Unitholder immediately prior to the Distribution Date and (ii) the Company had elected
to satisfy the Partnership Unit Redemption Rights by paying the Unitholder the Share Consideration (rather than the Cash Consideration)
(applying an Exchange Factor unaffected by the issuance, exercise or exchange of any Rights) immediately prior to the Distribution
Date pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement. Each Unitholder shall thereafter have all of the rights,
privileges, benefits and obligations with respect to the Rights as are provided for herein with respect to holders of Common Shares.


 


		4.	Form of Right Certificates.



 


4.1             
The Right Certificates (and the forms of election to purchase Common Shares and of assignment to be printed on the reverse
thereof) shall be substantially the same as set forth on Exhibit A hereto and may have any marks of identification or designation
and any legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with
the provisions of this Agreement (but which do not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or responsibilities of the Rights Agent),
or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any applicable rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with
any applicable rule or regulation of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Rights may from time to time be listed
or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or to conform to usage. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the
Right Certificates, whenever distributed, shall be dated as of the Record Date and shall entitle the holders thereof to purchase
the number of Common Shares as shall be set forth therein at the Purchase Price, but the amount and type of securities issuable
upon exercise and payment of the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein.


 


4.2             
Any Rights Certificate issued pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 22 hereof that represents Rights which are null and void
pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof and any Rights Certificate issued pursuant to Section 6 or Section 11 hereof upon transfer, exchange,
replacement or adjustment of any other Rights Certificate referred to in this sentence, shall contain (to the extent feasible)
the following legend:


 


The Rights represented by this
Rights Certificate are or were beneficially owned by a Person who was or became an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate
of an Acquiring Person (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement). Accordingly, this Rights Certificate and the Rights
represented hereby are null and void in the circumstances specified in Section 7.6 of the Rights Agreement.


 






    	 	12	 



     


    

 


The provisions of Section 7.6 hereof shall
be operative whether or not the foregoing legend is contained on any Rights Certificate.


 


5.          Countersignature
and Registration. The Right Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the chief executive officer or the
chief financial officer of the Company or by any person authorized thereby, either manually or by facsimile signature; and shall
be attested by the secretary or any assistant secretary of the Company or the treasurer or any assistant treasurer of the Company,
either manually or by facsimile signature. The Right Certificates shall be countersigned by the Rights Agent and shall not be
valid for any purpose unless so countersigned, either manually or by facsimile. If any officer of the Company who shall have executed
or attested any of the Right Certificates shall cease to be an officer of the Company before countersignature by the Rights Agent
and issuance and delivery by the Company, the Right Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned by the Rights Agent and issued
and delivered by the Company with the same force and effect as though the Person who signed the Right Certificates had not ceased
to be an officer of the Company. Any Right Certificate may be executed or attested on behalf of the Company by any Person who,
at the actual date of the execution or attestation of the Right Certificate, is a proper officer of the Company to execute or
attest the Right Certificate, even if at the date of the execution of this Agreement the Person was not a proper officer.




 


Following the Distribution
Date, and receipt by the Rights Agent of written notice to that effect and other relevant and necessary information referred to
in Section 3.1, the Rights Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at its principal office, books for registration of the transfer
of the Right Certificates issued hereunder. These books shall show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the Right
Certificates, the number of Rights represented on its face by each of the Right Certificates, and the date of issuance of each
of the Right Certificates.


 


		6.	Transfer, Split-Up, Combination and Exchange of Right Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost
or Stolen Right Certificates.



 


6.1             
Subject to the provisions of Section 14, at any time after the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, and prior to
the earlier of the Redemption Date or the Close of Business on the Final Expiration Date, any Right Certificate (other than a Right
Certificate representing Rights that have become null and void pursuant to Section 7.6 or that have been exchanged pursuant to
Section 24) may be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged for another Right Certificate, entitling the registered holder
to purchase a like number of Common Shares (or, following a Triggering Event, other securities, cash or other assets, as the case
may be) as the Right Certificate surrendered theretofore entitled such holder to purchase. Any registered holder desiring to transfer,
split up, combine or exchange any Right Certificate shall make a request in writing delivered to the Rights Agent, and shall surrender
the Right Certificate to be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged at the office of the Rights Agent designated for such
purpose accompanied by signature guarantee (a “Signature Guarantee”) from an eligible guarantor institution participating
in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association, and any other reasonable evidence of authority
that may be reasonably required by the Rights Agent. Thereupon, the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver to the Person entitled
thereto a Right Certificate or Right Certificates, as the case may be, as so requested. The Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient for any tax or charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, split-up, combination or exchange of Right
Certificates. If and to the extent the Company does require payment of any taxes or charges, the Company shall give the Rights
Agent prompt written notice thereof and the Rights Agent shall not have any duty to deliver any Rights Certificate unless and until
the Rights Agent is satisfied that the required payments have been made, and the Rights Agent shall forward any sum collected by
it to the Company or to a Person or Persons specified by the Company in a written notice. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or
obligation to take any action with respect to a Rights holder under any Section of this Agreement which requires the payment by
the Rights holder of applicable taxes and charges unless and until the Rights Agent is reasonably satisfied that the required taxes
and charges have been paid.


 






    	 	13	 



     


    

 


6.2             
Subject to the provisions of Section 14, at any time after the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, and prior to
the earlier of the Redemption Date or the Close of Business on the Final Expiration Date, upon receipt by the Company and the Rights
Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Right Certificate, and, in
case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to them, and, at the Company’s or Rights
Agent’s request, reimbursement to the Company and the Rights Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and, in
case of mutilation, upon surrender to the Rights Agent and cancellation of the Right Certificate, the Company will make and deliver
a new Right Certificate of like tenor to the Rights Agent for delivery to the registered holder in lieu of the Right Certificate
so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated.


 


6.3             
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company and the Rights Agent may amend this Rights Agreement to provide
for uncertificated Rights in addition to or in place of Rights represented by Rights Certificates, to the extent permitted by applicable
law.


 


		7.	Exercise of Rights; Purchase Price; Expiration Date of Rights.



 


7.1             
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Rights shall become exercisable on the Distribution Date, and thereafter the registered
holder of any Right Certificate (other than a holder whose Rights have become null and void pursuant to Section 7.6 or have been
exchanged pursuant to Section 24) may, subject to Section 11.1.2 and except as otherwise provided herein, exercise the Rights represented
thereby, in whole or in part, at any time after the Distribution Date upon surrender of the Right Certificate, with the form of
election to purchase on the reverse side thereof properly completed and duly executed, to the Rights Agent at the office of the
Rights Agent designated for such purpose, together with payment of the Purchase Price for each Common Share represented by a Right
that is exercised and an amount equal to any applicable tax or charge required to be paid pursuant to Section 9.3, prior to the
time (the “Expiration Date”) that is the earliest of (i) the Close of Business on the Final Expiration Date,
(ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed pursuant to Section 23, (iii) the time at which the Rights are exchanged pursuant
to Section 24 or (iv) the Closing of any merger or other acquisition transaction involving the Company pursuant to an agreement
described in Section 13.3 at which time the Rights are terminated.


 


7.2             
The purchase price to be paid upon the exercise of each Right to purchase one Common Share represented by a Right shall
initially be $31.50 (the “Purchase Price”) and shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America
in accordance with Section 7.3. Each Right shall initially entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share upon exercise of the
Right. The Purchase Price and the number of Common Shares or other securities for which a Right is exercisable shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time as provided in Sections 11 and 13.


 






    	 	14	 



     


    

 


7.3             
Except as otherwise provided herein, upon receipt of a Right Certificate representing exercisable Rights, with the form
of election to purchase properly completed and duly executed, accompanied by a Signature Guarantee and payment of the Purchase
Price for the number of Rights exercised and an amount equal to any applicable tax or charge required to be paid by the holder
of the applicable Right Certificate in accordance with Section 9.3 by cash, certified check, cashier’s check or money order
payable to the order of the Company, the Rights Agent shall thereupon promptly (i)(A) requisition from any transfer agent of the
Common Shares (or make available, if the Rights Agent is the transfer agent for the shares) certificates for the number of Common
Shares to be purchased (or, in the case of Book Entry Common Shares or other uncertificated securities, requisition from a transfer
agent a notice setting forth the number of shares or other securities to be purchased for which registration will be made on the
stock transfer books of the Company), and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes its transfer agent to comply with all such
requests, or (B) requisition from any depositary agent for the Common Shares depositary receipts representing the number of Common
Shares to be purchased (in which case certificates for the Common Shares represented by the depositary receipts shall be deposited
by the transfer agent with the depositary agent), and the Company hereby directs the depositary agent to comply with such request;
(ii) when necessary to comply with this Agreement, requisition from the Company the amount of cash to be paid in lieu of issuance
of fractional Common Shares in accordance with Section 14; (iii) after receipt of the certificates or depositary receipts, cause
the same to be delivered to the registered holder of the applicable Right Certificate or, upon the order of the registered holder,
in the name or names as may be designated by the holder; and (iv) when necessary to comply with this Agreement, after receipt,
deliver cash to the registered holder of the applicable Right Certificate or, upon the order of the registered holder, the Person
or Persons as may be designated by the holder. The Company reserves the right to require that, upon any exercise of Rights, a number
of Rights be exercised so that only whole Common Shares would be issued.


 


7.4             
Except as otherwise provided herein, if the registered holder of any Right Certificate shall exercise less than all the
Rights represented thereby, a new Right Certificate representing Rights equivalent to the exercisable Rights remaining unexercised
shall be issued by the Rights Agent to the registered holder of the Right Certificate or to the holder’s duly authorized
assigns, subject to the provisions of Section 14.


 


7.5             
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated
to undertake any action with respect to a registered holder of Rights upon the occurrence of any purported transfer or exercise
of Rights as set forth in Section 6 or this Section 7 unless the registered holder shall have (i) properly completed and signed
the certificate contained in the form of assignment or form of election to purchase set forth on the reverse side of the Right
Certificate surrendered for transfer or exercise, (ii) tendered the Purchase Price (and an amount equal to any applicable transfer
tax required to be paid by the holder of such Right Certificate in accordance with Section 9) to the Company in the manner set
forth in Section 7.3 and (iii) provided any additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner)
or Affiliates or Associates thereof as the Company and the Rights Agent shall reasonably request.


 






    	 	15	 



     


    

 


7.6             
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after a Person becomes an Acquiring Person, any Rights
that are or were acquired or Beneficially Owned by (i) an Acquiring Person or an Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person,
(ii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any Associate or Affiliate thereof) who becomes a transferee after the Acquiring
Person became such, or (iii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any Associate or Affiliate thereof) who becomes a transferee
prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring Person’s becoming such and receives such Rights pursuant to either (A) a transfer
(whether or not for consideration) from the Acquiring Person to holders of equity interests in such Acquiring Person or to any
Person with whom the Acquiring Person has any continuing agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding the transferred Rights,
(B) a transfer which the Continuing Directors have determined, within one hundred and eighty (180) days for limiting the power
of future directors to vote in this regard following a Section 23.1 Event, by a majority of the Continuing Directors, or if such
determination is not made until after such period expires, by a majority of the Board, is part of a plan, arrangement or understanding
which has as a primary purpose or effect the avoidance of this Section 7.6 or (C) a transfer pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Charter
to a trust, shall become null and void without any further action and no holder of such Rights shall have any rights whatsoever
with respect to such Rights, whether under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise. The Company shall use all reasonable efforts
to insure that the provisions of this Section 7.6 and Section 4.2 hereof are complied with, but the Company and the Rights Agent
shall have no liability to any holder of Rights Certificates or other Person as a result of the Company’s failure to make
any determinations with respect to an Acquiring Person or its Affiliates, Associates or transferees hereunder. For the avoidance
of any doubt, on and after the Distribution Date, any Right, the exercise or exchange of which would cause a Person to become an
Acquiring Person, shall become null and void without any further action and no holder of such Rights shall have any rights whatsoever
with respect to such Rights, whether under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise.


 


 8.           Cancellation and Destruction of Right Certificates. All Right Certificates surrendered for the purpose of exercise, transfer, split-up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or to any of its agents, be delivered to the Rights Agent for cancellation or in canceled form, or, if surrendered to the Rights Agent, shall be canceled by it, and no Right Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Rights Agent shall so cancel and retire, any other Right Certificate representing Rights purchased or acquired by the Company otherwise than upon the exercise thereof. The Rights Agent shall deliver all canceled Right Certificates to the Company, or shall, at the written request of the Company, destroy the canceled Right Certificates, and in such case shall deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company.




 


		9.	Status and Availability of Common Shares.



 


9.1             
The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be kept available out of its authorized and unissued Common Shares,
the number of Common Shares that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights in accordance with
Section 7.


 






    	 	16	 



     


    

 


9.2             
The Company shall take all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Common Shares (or other securities of
the Company) delivered upon exercise of Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates (or by Book Entry) for the Common
Shares (or other securities of the Company), subject to payment of the Purchase Price, be duly and validly authorized and issued
and fully paid and non-assessable shares.


 


9.3             
The Company shall pay when due and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and charges which may be payable
in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Right Certificates or the issuance and delivery of any certificates or depository
receipts or entries in the Book Entry account system of the transfer agent for the Common Shares (or other securities of the Company)
upon the exercise of Rights. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any transfer tax or charges which may be payable
in respect of any transfer or delivery of Right Certificates to a Person other than, or the issuance or delivery of certificates
or depositary receipts for the Common Shares (or other securities of the Company) in a name other than that of, the registered
holder of the Right Certificate representing Rights surrendered for exercise, and shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificates or depositary receipts for Common Shares (or other securities of the Company) upon the exercise of any Rights until
any required tax or charge shall have been paid (any required tax or charge being payable by the holder of the Right Certificate
at the time of surrender) or until it has been established to the Company’s or Rights Agent’s reasonable satisfaction
that no transfer tax or charge is due.


 


9.4             
If the Common Shares (and, after the occurrence of a Section 11.1.2 Event, any other securities) issuable upon the exercise
of the Rights are listed on any national securities exchange, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause, from and after such
time as the Rights become exercisable, all shares reserved for such issuance to be listed on an exchange upon official notice of
issuance upon exercise of the Rights.


 


9.5             
The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to: (i) file, as soon as practicable following the earliest date after the
first occurrence of a Section 11.1.2 Event in which the consideration to be delivered by the Company upon exercise of the Rights
has been determined in accordance with this Agreement, a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Rights
and the securities issuable upon exercise of the Rights on an appropriate form, (ii) cause the registration statement to become
effective as soon as practicable after filing the registration statement, (iii) cause the registration statement to remain effective
(with a prospectus at all times meeting the requirements of the Securities Act) until the earlier of (A) the date as of which the
Rights are no longer exercisable for securities or (B) the Expiration Date.  The Company will also take any action as may
be appropriate under, or to ensure compliance with, the securities or “blue sky” laws of the various jurisdictions
in connection with the exercise of the Rights.  The Company may, acting by resolution of the Board of Directors, temporarily
suspend, for a period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days after the date set forth in clause (i) of the first sentence of this
Section 9.5, the exercise of the Rights in order to prepare and file the registration statement stating that exercise of the Rights
has been temporarily suspended, as well as a public announcement at the time the suspension is no longer in effect.  In addition,
if the Company shall determine that a registration statement is required in other circumstances following the Distribution Date,
the Company may similarly temporarily suspend exercise of the Rights until such time as a registration statement has been declared
effective.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights shall not be exercised in any jurisdiction
if the requisite qualification in the applicable jurisdiction shall not have been obtained, the exercise thereof shall not otherwise
be permitted under applicable law or a registration statement shall not have been declared effective.


 






    	 	17	 



     


    

 


 10.           Common Shares Record Date. Each Person in whose name any certificate or entry in the Book Entry account system of the transfer agent for the Common Shares is issued upon the exercise of Rights shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Common Shares (or other securities of the Company) represented thereby on, and the certificate (or Book Entry) shall be dated, the date upon which the Right Certificate representing the Rights was duly surrendered and payment of the Purchase Price (and any applicable taxes and charges) was made; provided, however, that, if the date of surrender and payment is a date upon which the Common Shares transfer books of the Company are closed, the Person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of the Common Shares on, and the certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding Business Day on which the Common Shares transfer books of the Company are open. Prior to the exercise of the Rights represented thereby, the holder of a Right Certificate shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Shares for which the Rights shall be exercisable, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions, or to exercise any preemptive rights, and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided herein.




 


		11.	Adjustment of Purchase Price, Number of Shares or Number of Rights.



 


11.1         General. The Purchase Price, the number of Common Shares covered by each Right and the number of Rights outstanding
are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 11.


 


11.1.1   
In the event the Company shall at any time after the date of this Agreement (i) declare a dividend on the Common Shares
payable in Common Shares, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of Common Shares, (iii) combine the
outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification
of the Common Shares (including any reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
or surviving corporation), except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.1 and Section 7.6, the Purchase Price in effect, and
the number and kind of shares of capital stock issuable upon the exercise of each Right, after the record date for the dividend
or the effective date of the subdivision, combination or reclassification, as applicable, shall be proportionately adjusted so
that the holder of any Right exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of
capital stock which, if the Right had been exercised immediately prior to such date and at a time when the Common Shares transfer
books of the Company were open, the holder would have owned upon exercise of the Right and been entitled to receive by virtue of
the dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification, as applicable; provided, however, that in no event shall
the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the shares of capital stock
of the Company issuable upon exercise of one Right. If an event occurs which would require an adjustment under both Section 11.1.1
and Section 11.1.2 hereof, the adjustment provided for in this Section 11.1.1 shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior
to any adjustment required pursuant to Section 11.1.2 hereof.


 






    	 	18	 



     


    

 


11.1.2   
Subject to Section 7.6 and Section 24, in the event any Person becomes an Acquiring Person (other than by means of a Permitted
Offer or a Section 13 Event) and the Board of Directors authorizes the Company to issue Rights Certificates under Section 3.1 (the
 “Section 11.1.2 Event”), then, each holder of a Right (except as provided below and in Section 7.6 hereof) shall
thereafter have a right to receive (subject to the last sentence of Section 23.1 hereof), upon exercise thereof at a price equal
to the then current Purchase Price, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in lieu of the Common Shares issuable under
Section 7.1, a number of Common Shares equal to the result obtained by (x) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the number
of Common Shares for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to the first occurrence of a Section 11.1.2 Event, and (y)
dividing that product (which, following the first occurrence, shall thereafter be referred to as the “Purchase Price”
for each Right and for all purposes of this Agreement) by 50% of the then Current Per Share Market Price of the Common Shares (determined
pursuant to Section 11.4.2) on the date of the first occurrence (the number of shares of stock being referred to as the “Adjustment
Shares”); provided, however, that if the transaction that would otherwise give rise to the foregoing adjustment
is also subject to the provisions of Section 13 hereof, then only the provisions of Section 13 hereof shall apply and no adjustment
shall be made pursuant to this Section 11.1.2.


 


11.1.3   
In the event that the number of Common Shares authorized by the Charter (as the same may be amended and restated from time
to time) but not outstanding or reserved for issuance for purposes other than exercise of the Rights is not sufficient to permit
the exercise in full of the Rights in accordance with the foregoing Section 11.1.2 and the Board of Directors determines not to
amend the Charter to authorize additional Common Shares, the Company, acting by resolution of the Board of Directors, shall, to
the extent permitted by applicable law and any material agreements then in effect to which the Company is a party, (A) determine
the value of the Adjustment Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Right in accordance with the foregoing Section 11.1.2 (the “Current
Value”) and the amount by which it exceeds the Purchase Price attributable to each Right (the excess being referred to
as the “Spread”), and (B) with respect to each Right (other than Rights that have become void pursuant to Section
7.6), make adequate provision to substitute for the Adjustment Shares, upon the exercise of the Right and payment of the applicable
Purchase Price, (1) cash, (2) a reduction in Purchase Price, (3) equity securities of the Company other than Common Shares (including,
without limitation, shares, or units of shares, of preferred stock which the Board of Directors has deemed to have essentially
the same value or economic rights as Common Shares (“Common Stock Equivalents”), (4) debt securities of the
Company, (5) other assets or (6) any combination of any or all of the foregoing which, when added to the value of the Common Shares
issued upon exercise of the Right, have an aggregate value equal to the Current Value (less the amount of any reduction in the
Purchase Price), where the aggregate value has been determined by the Board of Directors; provided, however, if the Company
shall not have made adequate provision to deliver value pursuant to clause (B) above within thirty (30) days following the later
of (x) the first occurrence of a Section 11.1.2 Event and (y) the date on which the Company’s right of redemption pursuant
to Section 23.1 hereof, as the date may be amended by Section 27 hereof, expires, then the Company shall be obligated to deliver,
to the extent permitted by applicable law and any material agreements then in effect to which the Company is a party, upon the
surrender for exercise of a Right and without requiring payment of the Purchase Price, Common Shares (to the extent available)
and then, if necessary, cash, which shares and/or cash have an aggregate value equal to the Spread.


 






    	 	19	 



     


    

 


11.2         
If the Board of Directors fixes a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares
entitling them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) calendar days after the record date) to subscribe for or purchase
Common Shares, or shares having the same rights, privileges and preferences as the Common Shares (“Equivalent Common Shares”),
or securities convertible into Common Shares or Equivalent Common Shares at a price per Common Share or Equivalent Common Share
(or having a conversion price per share, if a security convertible into Common Shares or Equivalent Common Shares) less than the
then Current Per Share Market Price of the Common Shares (as determined pursuant to Section 11.4.2) on the record date, the Purchase
Price to be in effect after the record date shall be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to
the record date by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date
plus (B) the number of Common Shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares or Equivalent Common
Shares to be offered (or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities to be offered) would purchase at
the then Current Per Share Market Price and (ii) the denominator of which shall be (A) the number of Common Shares outstanding
on the record date plus (B) the number of additional Common Shares or Equivalent Common Shares to be offered for subscription or
purchase (or into which the convertible securities to be offered are initially convertible); provided, however, that
in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the shares
of capital stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of one Right. If such subscription price may be paid in a consideration
part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent. Common Shares owned by or held for
the account of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever a record date is fixed. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued,
the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the Purchase Price that would then be in effect if the record date had not been fixed.


 


11.3         
If the Board of Directors fixes a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of the Common Shares (including
any distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation)
of evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than a regular periodic cash dividend, if any, or a dividend payable in Common Shares)
or subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in Section 11.2), the Purchase Price to be in effect after the
record date shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the record date by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the then Current Per Share Market Price of the Common Shares (as determined pursuant to Section
11.4.2) on the record date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described
in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent) of the portion of the assets or evidences
of indebtedness to be distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one Common Share and (ii) the denominator
of which shall be the then Current Per Share Market Price of the Common Shares; provided, however, that in no event
shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the shares of capital
stock of the Company to be issued upon exercise of one Right. These adjustments shall be made successively whenever a record date
is fixed. If a distribution is not so made, the Purchase Price shall again be adjusted to be the Purchase Price that would then
be in effect if the record date had not been fixed.


 






    	 	20	 



     


    

 


11.4         
Current Per Share Market Price.


 


11.4.1   
Except as otherwise provided herein, for the purpose of any computation hereunder, the “Current Per Share Market
Price” of any security (a “Security” for the purpose of this Section 11.4.1) on any date shall be
deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices per share of the Security for the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days immediately
prior to but not including such date; provided, however, that if the Current Per Share Market Price of the Security
is determined during a period (i) following the announcement by the issuer of the Security of (A) a dividend or distribution on
the Security payable in shares of the Security or other securities convertible into shares of the Security, or (B) any subdivision,
combination or reclassification of the Security of other securities convertible into the Security, and (ii) prior to the expiration
of thirty (30) Trading Days after (but not including) the ex-dividend date for a dividend or distribution, or the record date for
a subdivision, combination or reclassification, then, and in each case, the Current Per Share Market Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect the current market price per share equivalent of the Security. The closing
price for each day shall be the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no sale takes place on the applicable day, the average
of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported by the principal consolidated transaction reporting
system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the NYSE or NASDAQ or, if the Security is not listed or admitted
to trading on the NYSE or NASDAQ, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities
listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the Security is listed or admitted to trading or, if the Security
is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the average
of the high and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market as reported by any system then in use, or, if not so quoted, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Security selected
by the Board of Directors. If no market maker is making a market in the Security, the fair value of the Security on the
applicable date as determined by the Board of Directors shall be used.


 


11.4.2   
For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the “Current Per Share Market Price” of the Common Shares,
if the Common Shares are not listed on a national securities exchange, shall be conclusively deemed to be the Company’s estimated
net asset value per share of its Common Stock (the “Estimated Per-Share NAV of Common Stock”) in effect as of
the applicable date, calculated pursuant to the valuation guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors and published by the Company
(appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof and not
otherwise reflected in the Estimated Per-Share NAV of Common Stock as of the applicable date); provided, however, that,
if the Board of Directors believes that the Estimated Per-Share NAV of Common Stock is not representative of the fair value per
Common Share, the “Current Per Share Market Price” of the Common Shares shall be the fair value per share as
determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall
be binding on the Rights Agent. If the Common Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the “Current Per Share
Market Price” of the Common Shares shall be determined in accordance with the method set forth in Section 11.4.1.


 






    	 	21	 



     


    

 


11.5         
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment in the Purchase Price shall be required unless an adjustment
would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that any adjustments
which by reason of this Section 11.5 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one ten-thousandth of any
share or security as the case may be. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 11.5, any adjustment required by this
Section 11 shall be made no later than the earlier of (i) three years from the date of the transaction which requires an adjustment
and (ii) the date of the expiration of the right to exercise any Rights.


 


11.6         
If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 13.1, the holder of any Right thereafter exercised
shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than Common Shares, the Purchase Price and number
of any other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Right shall thereafter be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner
and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Shares contained in Sections 11.1,
11.2, 11.3, 11.5, 11.8, 11.9, 11.10, 11.11, 11.12, 11.13 and the provisions of Sections 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14 with respect to the
Common Shares shall apply on like terms to any other shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable for its inability
to keep available for issuance upon exercise of the Rights pursuant to Section 11.1.2 a number of Common Shares greater than the
number then authorized by the Charter but not outstanding or reserved for any other purpose.


 


11.7         
All Rights originally issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to the Purchase Price hereunder shall evidence
the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, the number of Common Shares purchasable from time to time hereunder upon
exercise of the Rights, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.


 


11.8         
Unless the Company exercises its election as provided in Section 11.9, upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result
of the calculations made in Sections 11.2 and 11.3, each Right outstanding immediately prior to the making of any adjustment shall
thereafter constitute the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of Common Shares (calculated to the nearest
one ten-thousandth of a Common Share) obtained by (i) multiplying the number of Common Shares into which the Right is exercisable
immediately prior to this adjustment by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to adjusting the Purchase Price and (ii)
dividing the product by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after adjusting the Purchase Price.


 


11.9         
The Company may elect on or after the date of any adjustment of the Purchase Price to adjust the number of Rights in substitution
for any adjustment in the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Right. Each of the Rights outstanding after adjusting
the number of Rights shall be exercisable for the number of Common Shares for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to
the adjustment. Each Right held of record prior to adjusting the number of Rights shall become that number of Rights (calculated
to the nearest one one-hundredth) obtained by dividing the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to adjustment of the Purchase
Price by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after adjustment of the Purchase Price. The Company shall make a public announcement
of its election to adjust the number of Rights (with written notice thereof to the Rights Agent), indicating the record date for
the adjustment and, if known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. The record date may be the date on which the
Purchase Price is adjusted or any day thereafter but, if the Right Certificates have been distributed, shall be at least ten (10)
days after the date of the public announcement. If Right Certificates have been distributed, upon each adjustment of the number
of Rights pursuant to this Section 11.9, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be distributed to holders of record
of Rights on the applicable record date Right Certificates representing, subject to Section 14, the additional Rights to which
these holders shall be entitled as a result of the adjustment or, at the option of the Company, shall cause to be distributed to
the holders of record in substitution and replacement for the Right Certificates held by these holders prior to the date of adjustment,
and upon surrender thereof if required by the Company, new Right Certificates representing all the Rights to which these holders
shall be entitled after the adjustment. Right Certificates to be so distributed shall be issued, executed and delivered by the
Company, and countersigned and delivered by the Rights Agent, in the manner provided for herein and shall be registered in the
names of the holders of record of Rights on the record date specified in the public announcement.


 






    	 	22	 



     


    

 


11.10     
Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price or the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise
of the Rights, the Right Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the Purchase Price and the number
of Common Shares which were expressed in the initial Right Certificates issued hereunder.


 


11.11     
Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Purchase Price below the then par value of the fraction
of Common Shares or other shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise of the Rights, the Company shall take any corporate action
which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable
Common Shares or any other shares at the adjusted Purchase Price.


 


11.12     
If this Section 11 requires that an adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified
event, the Company may elect to defer (with notice thereof to the Rights Agent), until the occurrence of the specified event, issuing
to the holder of any Right exercised after the record date of the number of Common Shares and other capital stock or securities
of the Company, if any, issuable upon the exercise over and above the number of Common Shares and other capital stock or securities
of the Company, if any, issuable upon the exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to the adjustment; provided,
however, that the Company shall deliver to the applicable holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing the
holder’s right to receive additional securities upon the occurrence of the event requiring an adjustment.


 


11.13     
Anything in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make any adjustments in the
Purchase Price, in addition to those adjustments expressly required by this Section 11, as and to the extent that the Board of
Directors, in its sole discretion, shall determine to be advisable in order that any (i) combination, consolidation or subdivision
of the Common Shares, (ii) issuance wholly for cash of any Common Shares at less than the Current Per Share Market Price, (iii)
issuance wholly for cash of Common Shares or securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares,
(iv) dividends on Common Shares payable in Common Shares, or (v) issuance of any rights, options or warrants referred to in Section
11.2 made by the Company after the date of this Agreement to holders of its Common Shares shall not be taxable to these stockholders.


 






    	 	23	 



     


    

 


11.14     
If, at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Distribution Date, the Company (i) declares or pays any
dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares or (ii) effects a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the Common
Shares (by reclassification or otherwise other than by payment of dividends in Common Shares) into a greater or lesser number of
Common Shares, then (i) the number of Common Shares purchasable after the applicable event upon exercise of each Right shall be
determined by multiplying the number of Common Shares so purchasable immediately prior to the applicable event by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately before the applicable event and the denominator of which
is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the applicable event, and (ii) each Common Share outstanding immediately
after the applicable event shall have issued with respect to it that number of Rights which each Common Share outstanding immediately
prior to the applicable event had issued with respect to it. The adjustments provided for in this Section 11.14 shall be made successively
whenever a dividend is declared or paid or a subdivision, combination or consolidation is effected. If an event occurs that would
require an adjustment under Section 11.1.2 and this Section 11.14, the adjustment provided in this Section 11.14 shall be in addition
and prior to any adjustment required pursuant to Section 11.1.2.


 


 12.           Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever an adjustment is made as provided in Section 11 or Section 13, the Company shall promptly (i) prepare a certificate setting forth the adjustment and a brief statement of the facts accounting for the adjustment in reasonable detail, (ii) file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Shares a copy of the certificate, and (iii) if the adjustment occurs following a Distribution Date, mail a brief summary thereof to each holder of a Right Certificate in accordance with Section 25 (if so required under Section 25) and Section 26. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure of the Company to make a certification or give notice shall not affect the validity of an adjustment or the force or effect of the requirement for an adjustment. The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any certificate of adjustment and on any adjustment therein contained and shall not be obligated or responsible for calculating any adjustment, nor shall the Rights Agent be deemed to have any liability therefor or knowledge of any adjustment, unless and until it shall have received the certificate.




 


		13.	Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Transfer of Assets or Earning Power.



 


13.1         
If, at any time after a Stock Acquisition Date, (i) the Company consolidates with, or merges with and into, any other Person;
(ii) any Person consolidates with the Company, or merges with and into the Company, and the Company is the continuing or surviving
corporation of the transaction and, in connection with the transaction, all or part of the Common Shares are or will be changed
into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person (or the Company) or cash or any other property; or (iii) the
Company sells or otherwise transfers (or one or more of its Subsidiaries sell or otherwise transfer), in one or more transactions,
assets or Earning Power aggregating 50% or more of the assets or Earning Power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a
whole) to any other Person other than the Company or one or more of its wholly owned Subsidiaries (each of the foregoing events,
a “Section 13 Event”), then, upon the first occurrence of any Section 13 Events, proper provision shall be made
so that (A) each holder of a Right (except for Rights which have become null and void pursuant to Section 7.6) shall thereafter
have the right to receive, upon the exercise of a Right, at a price equal to the then current Purchase Price, in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and in lieu of the Common Shares issuable under Section 7.1, the number of shares of Common Stock of
such other Person (including the Company as successor thereto or as the surviving corporation) equal to the result obtained by
(1) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the number of Common Shares for which a Right is exercisable immediately prior
to the first occurrence of a Section 13 Event (or, if a Section 11.1.2 Event has occurred prior to the first occurrence of a Section
13 Event, multiplying the number of Common Shares for which a Right was exercisable prior to the occurrence of a Section 11.1.2
Event by the Purchase Price in effect prior to the occurrence of a Section 11.1.2 Event), and (2) dividing that product (which,
following the occurrence of a Section 13 Event, shall be referred to as the “Purchase Price” for each Right
and for all purposes of this Agreement) by fifty percent (50%) of the then Current Per Share Market Price of the shares of Common
Stock of the other Person (determined pursuant to Section 11.4.1 hereof) on the date of consummation of such Section 13 Event;
(B) the issuer of the shares of Common Stock shall thereafter be liable for, and shall assume, by virtue of the Section 13 Event,
all the obligations and duties of the Company pursuant to this Agreement; (C) the term “Company” shall thereafter be
deemed to refer to the issuer of the shares of Common Stock; and (D) the issuer shall take steps in connection with the consummation
of the applicable transaction as may be necessary to ensure that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly
as reasonably may be, in relation to the Common Stock thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Rights; provided that, upon
the subsequent occurrence of any consolidation, merger, sale or transfer of assets or other extraordinary transaction in respect
of the issuer, each holder of a Right shall thereupon be entitled to receive, upon exercise of a Right and payment of the Purchase
Price as provided in this Section 13.1, cash, shares, rights, warrants and other property which the holder would have been entitled
to receive had the holder, at the time of the applicable transaction, owned shares of Common Stock of the issuer receivable upon
the exercise of a Right pursuant to this Section 13.1, and the issuer shall take all steps (including, but not limited to, reservation
of shares of stock) necessary to permit the subsequent exercise of the Rights in accordance with the terms hereof for cash, shares,
rights, warrants and other property.


 






    	 	24	 



     


    

 


13.2         
The Company shall not consummate any consolidation, merger, sale or transfer unless prior thereto the Company and the issuer
of the shares of Common Stock shall have executed and delivered to the Rights Agent a supplemental agreement providing for the
issuer’s compliance with this Section 13. The Company shall not enter into any transaction of the kind referred to in this
Section 13 if, at the time of the applicable transaction, there are any rights, warrants, instruments or securities outstanding
or any agreements or arrangements which, as a result of the consummation of the applicable transaction, would eliminate or substantially
diminish the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights. The provisions of this Section 13 shall apply to successive mergers,
consolidations or sales or other transfers. In the event that a Section 13 Event shall occur at any time after the occurrence of
a Section 11.1.2 Event, the Rights that have not theretofore been exercised shall thereafter become exercisable in the manner described
in Section 13.1.


 


13.3         
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event of any merger or other acquisition transaction involving
the Company pursuant to a merger or other acquisition agreement between the Company and any Person (or one or more of the Person’s
Affiliates or Associates) which agreement has been approved by the Board of Directors prior to any Person becoming an Acquiring
Person, this Agreement and the rights of holders of Rights hereunder shall be terminated in accordance with Section 7.1.


 






    	 	25	 



     


    

 


13.4         
For purposes hereof, the “Earning Power” of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors on the basis of the operating earnings of each business operated by the Company and its Subsidiaries
during the three fiscal years preceding the date of determination (or, in the case of any business not operated by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries during three full fiscal years preceding the date of determination, during the period the applicable
business was operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries).


 


		14.	Fractional Rights and Fractional Shares.



 


14.1         
The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights or to distribute Right Certificates which represent fractional
Rights. In lieu of issuing fractional Rights, the Company has the option to pay to each registered holder of the Right Certificates
with regard to which the fractional Rights would otherwise be issuable an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current
market value of a whole Right. For the purposes of this Section 14.1, the current market value of a whole Right shall be the closing
price (as determined in accordance with Section 11.4.1) of the Rights for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which
the fractional Rights would have been otherwise issuable.


 


14.2         
The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of its stock upon the exercise of the Rights or to distribute
certificates which represent fractional shares. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company has the option to pay to each registered
holder of Right Certificates at the time the Rights are exercised or exchanged as herein provided an amount in cash equal to the
same fraction of the current market value of a whole share of its stock. For the purposes of this Section 14.2, the current market
value of a whole share of stock shall be the closing price (as determined in accordance with the second sentence of Section 11.4.1)
of the applicable share of stock for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of exercise or exchange; provided, however,
that, with respect to the current market value of a Common Share, if the Common Shares are not listed on a national securities
exchange, the current market value shall be the Current Per Share Market Price of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with
the first sentence of Section 11.4.2) for the Business Day immediately prior to the date of exercise or exchange. 


 


14.3         
[Reserved]


 


14.4         
The holder of a Right by the acceptance of the Right expressly waives any right to receive fractional Rights or fractional
shares upon exercise of a Right (except as provided in this Section 14).


 


14.5         
Whenever a payment for fractional Rights or fractional shares is to be made by the Rights Agent, the Company shall (i) promptly
prepare and deliver to the Rights Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the facts related to the payments and
the prices or formulas utilized in calculating the payments, and (ii) provide sufficient monies to the Rights Agent in the form
of fully collected funds to make the payments. The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon the Company’s certificate
and shall have no duty with respect to, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any payment for fractional Rights or fractional
shares under any Section of this Agreement relating to the payment of fractional Rights or fractional shares unless and until the
Rights Agent shall have received the certificate and sufficient monies.


 






    	 	26	 



     


    

 


 15.           Rights of Action. All rights of action in respect of this Agreement, excepting the rights of action given to the Rights Agent under Section 18, are vested in the respective registered holders of the Rights. Any holder of Right may, without the consent of the Rights Agent or of the holder of any other Right, on the holder’s own behalf and for the holder’s own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company to enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, the holder’s right to exercise the Rights represented by the Right Certificate in the manner provided in the Right Certificate and in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing or any remedies available to the holders of Rights, it is specifically acknowledged that holders of Rights would not have an adequate remedy at law for any breach by the Company of this Agreement and will be entitled to specific performance of the obligations under, and injunctive relief against any actual or threatened violation by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement.




 


 16.           Agreement of Right Holders. Every holder of a Right, by accepting the same, consents and agrees with the Company and the Rights Agent and with every other holder of a Right that:




 


16.1         
prior to the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of the Common Shares;


 


16.2         
after the Distribution Date, the Rights are transferable only on the registry books maintained by the Rights Agent if the
Rights Certificate representing the Rights is surrendered at office of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose accompanied
by a Signature Guarantee, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer; and


 


16.3         
the Company and the Rights Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution
Date, the associated Common Stock certificate or Book Entry shares in respect of Common Stock) is registered as the absolute owner
thereof and of the Rights represented thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing on the Right Certificates
or the associated Common Stock certificate (or Ownership Statements or notices provided to holders of Book Entry Common Shares)
made by anyone other than the Company or the Rights Agent) for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company nor the Rights
Agent, subject to Section 7.5 hereof, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


16.4         
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall have any liability
to any holder of a Right or other Person as a result of the inability of the Company or the Rights Agent to perform any of its
or their obligations under this Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree, judgment
or ruling issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission,
or any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted by any governmental authority prohibiting or otherwise
restraining performance of an obligation; provided, however, that the Company must use its best efforts to have any order,
decree, judgment or ruling lifted or otherwise overturned as soon as practicable.

 17.           Right Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. No holder, as such, of any Right shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends, or be deemed for any purpose the holder of the Common Shares or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise or exchange of the Rights represented thereby, nor shall anything contained herein or in any Right Certificate be construed to confer upon the holder of any Right, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting stockholders (except as provided in Section 25), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Rights represented by the Right Certificate shall have been exercised or exchanged in accordance with the provisions hereof.




 


 18.           Concerning the Rights Agent. The Company shall pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in accordance with a mutually agreed upon fee schedule and, from time to time, on demand of the Rights Agent, reimburse the Rights Agent for its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements incurred in the preparation, delivery, amendment, administration and execution of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder. The Company shall also indemnify the Rights Agent for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, judgment, fine, penalty, claim, demand, settlement, cost or expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) that may be paid, incurred or suffered by it, or which it may become subject, without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent (which gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by the Rights Agent in connection with the execution, acceptance, administration, exercise and performance of its duties under this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim or liability arising therefrom, directly or indirectly, or enforcing its rights hereunder; provided, however, that the Rights Agent shall not settle or dispose of any claims in a manner that affects the Company’s rights or interests without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.




 


The Rights Agent shall
be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in connection
with its administration of this Agreement in reliance upon any Right Certificate or certificate for the Common Shares or any other
securities of the Company, instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction,
consent, certificate, statement, or other paper or document believed in the absence of bad faith by it to be genuine and to be
signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged by the proper Person or Persons, or otherwise upon the advice of
counsel as set forth in Section 20 hereof. The Rights Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event of which it was
supposed to receive written notice thereof hereunder, but for which it has not received a written notice, and the Rights Agent
shall be fully protected and shall incur no liability for failing to take action in connection therewith unless and until it has
received a written notice.


 






    	 	28	 



     


    

 


 19.           Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent. Any entity into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the shareholder service business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that such entity would be eligible for appointment as a successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 21. If, at the time the successor Rights Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement, any of the Right Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any successor Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Right Certificates so countersigned. If, at that time, any of the Right Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor Rights Agent may countersign the Right Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Rights Agent or in the name of the successor Rights Agent. In all such cases such Right Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Right Certificates and in this Agreement.




 


If, at any time, the
name of the Rights Agent changes and any of the Right Certificates have been countersigned but not delivered, the Rights Agent
may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Right Certificates so countersigned. If, at that time, any of the
Right Certificates have not been countersigned, the Rights Agent may countersign such Right Certificates either in its prior name
or in its changed name. In all such cases such Right Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Right Certificates
and in this Agreement.


 


The provisions of Section
18, this Section 19 and Section 20 below shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the resignation, replacement or removal
of the Rights Agent and the exercise, termination and the expiration of the Rights. In no event shall the Rights Agent be liable
for special, punitive, incidental, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to
lost profits), even if the Rights Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of
the action; and the Company shall indemnify the Rights Agent and hold it harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law against
any loss, liability or expense incurred as a result of third party claims for special, punitive, incidental, indirect or consequential
loss or damages of any kind whatsoever.


 


 20.           Duties of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent undertakes the duties and obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement (and no implied duties or obligations). The Rights Agent shall perform those duties and obligations upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of Right Certificates, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound:




 


20.1         
The Rights Agent may consult with legal counsel selected by it (who may be outside legal counsel for the Rights Agent or
the Company), and the advice or opinion of legal counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights
Agent and the Rights Agent will have no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it
in the absence of bad faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of legal counsel.


 






    	 	29	 



     


    

 


20.2         
Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Rights Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that
any fact or matter (including the identity of any Acquiring Person and the determination of Current Per Share Market Price) be
proved or established by the Company prior to taking, suffering, or omitting to take any action hereunder, such fact or matter
(unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established
by a certificate signed by the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Company or by any person authorized
thereby and delivered to the Rights Agent, and the certificate shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights
Agent and the Rights Agent shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it,
in the absence of bad faith, under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon the certificate.


 


20.3         
The Rights Agent shall be liable to the Company and any other Person hereunder only for its own gross negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct (which gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct must be determined by a final judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction). Any liability of the Rights Agent under this Agreement shall be limited to the amount of annual fees
(not including reimbursed expenses) paid by the Company to the Rights Agent during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding
the event for which recovery from the Rights Agent is being sought.


 


20.4         
The Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement
or in the Right Certificates (except as to its countersignature thereof) or be required to verify the same. All such statements
and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only.


 


20.5         
The Rights Agent shall not have any liability for nor be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement
or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution and delivery hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the validity
or execution of any Right Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be liable or responsible for any breach
by the Company of any covenant or failure by the Company to satisfy any condition contained in this Agreement or in any Right Certificate;
nor shall it be responsible for any adjustment required under the provisions of Sections 11 or 13 or for the manner, method or
amount of any adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any adjustment (except with respect to
the exercise of Rights represented by Right Certificates after receipt of a certificate furnished pursuant to Section 12 describing
the adjustment); nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or
reservation of any shares of Common Shares or other securities to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Right Certificate
or as to whether any Common Shares or other securities will, when so issued, be validly authorized and issued, fully paid, and
non-assessable.


 


20.6         
The Company shall perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered,
all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying
out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement.


 


20.7         
The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties
hereunder and certificates delivered pursuant to any provision hereof from the chief executive officer or chief financial officer,
and to apply to these officers for advice or instructions in connection with its duties. The Rights Agent shall not be liable for
any action taken or suffered to be taken by it, in the absence of bad faith, in accordance with instructions of any such officer
and such advice or instruction shall be full authorization and protection to the Rights Agent and the Rights Agent shall incur
no liability for or in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted to be taken by it, in the absence of bad faith, in accordance
with advice or instructions of any such officer or for any delay in acting while waiting for those instructions.


 






    	 	30	 



     


    

 


20.8         
Subject to applicable law, rules and regulations, the Rights Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of
the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Rights or other securities of the Company, or become pecuniarily interested
in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company, or otherwise act as fully
and freely as though it were not the Rights Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting
in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.


 


20.9         
The Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder
either itself (through its directors, officers and employees) or by or through its attorneys or agents. The Rights Agent shall
not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect, or misconduct of any of its attorneys or agents or for any loss
to the Company resulting from any act, default, neglect or misconduct, absent gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith
(each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) in the selection and continued employment of its
attorneys or agents.


 


20.10     
No provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if there shall be reasonable grounds
for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to it.


 


20.11     
The Rights Agent shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any fact, event or determination (including,
without limitation, any dates or events defined in this Agreement or the designation of any Person as an Acquiring Person, Affiliate
or Associate) under this Agreement unless and until the Rights Agent shall be specifically notified in writing by the Company of
such fact, event or determination.


 


20.12     
The Rights Agent shall have no responsibility to the Company, any holders of Rights, any holders of Common Shares or any
other Person for interest or earnings on any moneys held by the Rights Agent pursuant to this Agreement.


 


20.13     
In the event the Rights Agent believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder or in any notice, instruction, direction,
request or other communication, paper or document received by the Rights Agent hereunder, the Rights Agent shall promptly notify
the Company thereof, and the Rights Agent, may, in its sole discretion, refrain from taking any action, and shall be fully protected
and shall not be liable in any way to Company, the holder of any Rights Certificate or Book-Entry shares or any other Person for
refraining from taking such action, unless the Rights Agent receives written instructions signed by the Company which eliminates
such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of Rights Agent.


 






    	 	31	 



     


    

 


20.14     
The Rights Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent for the Company. The Rights Agent shall not assume any obligations
or relationship of agency or trust with any of the owners or holders of the Rights or Common Stock.


 


20.15     
The Rights Agent may rely on and be fully authorized and protected in acting or failing to act upon (a) any guaranty of
signature by an "eligible guarantor institution" that is a member or participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion
Program or other comparable "signature guarantee program" or insurance program in addition to, or in substitution for,
the foregoing; or (b) any related law, act, regulation or any interpretation of the same even though such law, act, or regulation
may thereafter have been altered, changed, amended or repealed.


 


 21.          Change of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice in writing mailed to the Company and, in the event that the Rights Agent or one of its Affiliates is not also the transfer agent for the Company, to the transfer agent of Common Shares by registered or certified mail. In the event the transfer agency relationship in effect between the Company and the Rights Agent terminates, the Rights Agent will be deemed to have resigned automatically and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement as of the effective date of termination, and the Company shall be responsible for sending any required notice. The Company may remove the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice in writing, mailed to the Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent, as the case may be, and to the transfer agent of Common Shares by registered or certified mail, and, after the Distribution Date, to the holders of the Right Certificates by first class mail. If the Rights Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If the Company shall fail to appoint a successor within a period of thirty (30) days after giving notice of removal or after it has been notified in writing of the Rights Agent’s resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent, then the registered holder of any Right Certificate (who shall, with the notice, submit the holder’s Right Certificate for inspection by the Company) may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by a court, shall be a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state of the United States, in good standing, which is authorized under the applicable laws to exercise corporate trust or stock transfer powers, is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, and has, along with its Affiliates, at the time of its appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million. After appointment, the successor Rights Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent without further act or deed, and the predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and shall execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose, but such predecessor Rights Agent shall not be required to make any additional expenditure or assume any additional liability in connection with the foregoing. Not later than the effective date of any appointment, the Company shall file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent and the transfer agent of Common Shares, and, after the Distribution Date, mail a notice in writing to the registered holders of the Rights. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 21, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.




 






    	 	32	 



     


    

 


22.           Issuance of New Right Certificates. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Right Certificates
to the contrary, the Company may, at its option, issue new Right Certificates representing Rights in such form as may be approved
by its Board of Directors to reflect any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price and the number or kind or class of shares or
other securities or property purchasable under the Right Certificates made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
In addition, in connection with the issuance or sale of Common Shares following the Distribution Date and prior to the earlier
of the Redemption Date and the Close of Business on the Final Expiration Date, the Company may, with respect to Common Shares so
issued or sold (i) pursuant to the exercise of stock options; (ii) under any employee plan or arrangement; (iii) upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of securities, notes or debentures issued by the Company, or (iv) pursuant to a contractual obligation of
the Company, in each case existing prior to the Distribution Date, issue Right Certificates representing the appropriate number
of Rights in connection with such issuance or sale; provided, however, that (i) no Right Certificate shall be issued if,
and to the extent that, the Company shall be advised by counsel that the issuance would create a significant risk of material adverse
tax consequences to the Company or the Person to whom the Right Certificate would be issued or would create a significant risk
of or result in such options’ or employee plans’ or arrangements’ failing to qualify for otherwise available
special tax treatment, (ii) no Right Certificate shall be issued if, and to the extent that, appropriate adjustment shall otherwise
have been made in lieu of the issuance thereof and (iii) no Right Certificate shall be issued to an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate
or Associate of an Acquiring Person.


 


		23.	Redemption.



 


23.1         
The Board of Directors may, at its option, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Close of Business on the fifth (5th)
Business Day following the Distribution Date, or (ii) the Final Expiration Date, redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding
Rights at a redemption price of $0.000001 per Right, as appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar
transaction occurring after the date hereof (the “Redemption Price”). The redemption of the Rights by the Company
may be made effective at any time, on any basis and subject to any conditions as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion
may establish. The Company may, at its option, pay the Redemption Price in cash, Common Shares (based on the Current Per Share
Market Price at the time of redemption as determined pursuant to Section 11.4.2 hereof) or any other form of consideration deemed
appropriate by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights shall not
be exercisable after the first occurrence of a Section 11.1.2 Event until such time as the Company's right of redemption set forth
in the first sentence of this Section 23.1 has expired.


 


23.2         
Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors (with, if required, the concurrence of a majority of the Continuing
Directors) ordering the redemption of the Rights pursuant to Section 23.1 (or at a later time as the Board of Directors may establish
for the effectiveness of the redemption) (the “Redemption Date”), evidence of which shall have been filed with
the Rights Agent, and without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the
only right thereafter of the holders of Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price for each Right so held. Promptly after
the action of the Board ordering the redemption of the Rights, the Company shall give notice of redemption to the Rights Agent
and the holders of the then outstanding Rights by mailing such notice to all such holders at each holder’s last address as
it appears upon the registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, the registry books for the Common Stock;
provided, however, that failure to give, or any defect in, any notice shall not affect the validity of the redemption. Any
notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each
such notice of redemption will state the method by which the payment of the Redemption Price will be made. With respect to each
holder of Rights, the Redemption Price shall be rounded to the nearest cent for the aggregate Rights held by the holder.


 






    	 	33	 



     


    

 


23.3         
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 23.1 hereof, in the event that a majority of the Board of Directors does not consist
of Continuing Directors (the first occurrence of such an event referred to herein as a “Section 23.1 Event”),
then for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days following the Section 23.1 Event, the Rights shall not be redeemed unless
there are Continuing Directors and a majority of the Continuing Directors concur with the Board’s decision to redeem the
Rights.


 


		24.	Exchange.



 


24.1         
The Company may, at its option, upon authorization of the Board of Directors, at any time after a Person becomes an Acquiring
Person, exchange all or part of the then outstanding and exercisable Rights (excluding Rights that have become null and void pursuant
to Section 7.6) for Common Shares at an exchange ratio of one Common Share per Right, appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock
split, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof (the “Exchange Ratio”). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent prohibited by Maryland law, the Board of Directors shall not be empowered to authorize an exchange
at any time after an Acquiring Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of a majority of the Common Shares then outstanding. From and
after the occurrence of a Section 13 Event, any Rights that theretofore have not been exchanged pursuant to this Section 24 shall
thereafter be exercisable only in accordance with Section 13 and may not be exchanged pursuant to this Section 24. The Board of
Directors may provide that the exchange of the Rights by the Company may be made effective at a time, on any basis and with any
terms and conditions as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may establish.


 


24.2         
Immediately upon effectiveness of the action of the Board of Directors authorizing the exchange of any Rights pursuant to
Section 24.1, and without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise the Rights so exchanged shall terminate
and the only right thereafter of a holder shall be to receive a number of Common Shares equal to the number of the Rights held
by the holder which are exchanged multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. The Company shall promptly give public notice of any exchange
(as well as prompt written notice thereof to the Rights Agent); provided, however, that the failure to give, or any
defect in, an exchange notice shall not affect the validity of the exchange. The Company promptly shall mail a notice of any exchange
to all of the holders of the Rights so exchanged at their last addresses as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent.
Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice.
Each notice of exchange will state the method by which the exchange of the Common Shares for Rights will be effected and, in the
event of any partial exchange, the number of Rights which will be exchanged. Any partial exchange shall be effected pro rata
based on the number of Rights (other than Rights which have become null and void pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.6) held
by each holder of Rights.


 






    	 	34	 



     


    

 


24.3         
In any exchange pursuant to this Section 24, the Board of Directors may provide, at its option, that the Company may substitute
Common Stock Equivalents for Common Shares exchangeable for Rights.


 


24.4         
If there shall not be sufficient Common Shares or Common Stock Equivalents authorized but unissued to permit any exchange
of Rights as contemplated in accordance with this Section 24, the Company shall take all action as may be necessary to authorize
additional Common Shares or Common Stock Equivalents for issuance upon exchange of the Rights.


 


24.5         
[Reserved] 


 


24.6         
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 24 to the contrary, the exchange of the Rights may be made effective at a time,
on any basis and with any terms and conditions as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may establish. Without limiting
the preceding sentence, the Board of Directors may (i) in lieu of issuing Common Shares or any other securities contemplated by
this Section 24 to the Persons entitled thereto in connection with the exchange (the Persons, the “Exchange Recipients,”
and the Common Shares and other securities, together with any dividends or distributions made on the Common Shares or other securities,
the “Exchange Property”) issue, transfer or deposit the Exchange Property to or into a trust or other entity
that may hold the Exchange Property for the benefit of the Exchange Recipients (provided that the trust or other entity may not
be controlled by the Company or any of its Affiliates or Associates and provided further that the trustee or similar fiduciary
of the trust or other entity will attempt to distribute the Exchange Property to the Exchange Recipients as promptly as practicable),
(ii) permit the trust or other entity to exercise all of the rights that a stockholder of record would possess with respect to
any shares deposited in the trust or other entity and (iii) impose any procedures necessary to verify that the Exchange Recipients
are not Acquiring Persons or Affiliates or Associates of Acquiring Persons as of any time periods established by the Board of Directors
or the trust or other entity. In the event the Board of Directors determines to issue, transfer or deposit the Exchange Property
to or into a trust or other entity, all stockholders entitled to receive shares pursuant to the exchange shall be entitled to receive
such shares (and any dividends or other distributions made thereon after the date on which such shares are deposited in the trust
or other entity) only from the trust or other entity and solely upon compliance with the relevant terms and provisions of any agreement
between the Company and the trust or other entity. In the event the Board of Directors determines, before the Distribution Date,
to effect an exchange, the Board of Directors may delay the occurrence of the Distribution Date to a time as the Board of Directors
deems advisable.


 


		25.	Notice of Certain Events.



 






    	 	35	 



     


    

 


25.1         
If the Company shall after the Distribution Date propose (i) to pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders
of its Common Shares or to make any other distribution to the holders of its Common Shares (other than a regular periodic cash
dividend, if any); (ii) to offer to the holders of its Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase any additional
Common Shares or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options; (iii) to effect any reclassification
of its Common Shares (other than a reclassification involving only the subdivision of outstanding Common Shares); (iv) to effect
any consolidation or merger into or with any other Person, or to effect any sale or other transfer (or to permit one or more of
its Subsidiaries to effect any sale or other transfer), in one or more transactions, of 50% or more of the assets or Earning Power
of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any other Person; (v) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Company; or (vi) to declare or pay any dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares, or to effect a subdivision,
combination or consolidation of the Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of dividends in Common Shares),
then, in each case, the Company shall give to the Rights Agent and to each holder of a Right, in accordance with Section 26, a
notice of the proposed action, which shall specify the record date for the purposes of a stock dividend, or distribution of rights
or warrants, or the date on which a reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding
up is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Shares, if any date is to be fixed, and the
notice shall be so given, in the case of any action covered by clause (i) or (ii) above, at least ten (10) days prior to the record
date for determining holders of the Common Shares and, in the case of any action covered by clauses (iii) to (vi) above, at least
ten (10) days prior to the date of the taking of the proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of the
Common Shares, whichever shall be the earlier. The failure to give notice required by this Section 25.1 or any defect therein shall
not affect the legality or validity of the action taken by the Company or the vote upon any such action.

        Rights



 


NOT EXERCISABLE AFTER THE FINAL EXPIRATION
DATE (AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT) OR EARLIER IF REDEMPTION, EXCHANGE OR TERMINATION OCCURS. THE RIGHTS ARE
SUBJECT TO REDEMPTION AT $0.000001 PER RIGHT AND TO EXCHANGE ON THE TERMS SET FORTH IN THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT. UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES,
AS SET FORTH IN THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT, RIGHTS THAT ARE OR WERE ACQUIRED OR BENEFICIALLY OWNED BY AN ACQUIRING PERSON OR ANY ASSOCIATE
OR AFFILIATE THEREOF (AS SUCH TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT) OR ANY SUBSEQUENT HOLDER OF SUCH RIGHTS MAY BECOME NULL
AND VOID AND WILL NO LONGER BE TRANSFERABLE.


 


Right Certificate


 


Healthcare Trust, Inc.,


 


a Maryland corporation


 


This certifies that ,
or registered assigns, is the registered owner of the number of Rights set forth above, each of which entitles the owner thereof,
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Rights Agreement dated as of May 18, 2020, as may be amended from time to
time (the “Rights Agreement”), between Healthcare Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”),
and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company (and any successor rights agent thereto, the “Rights
Agent”), to purchase from the Company at any time after the Distribution Date (as such term is defined in the Rights
Agreement) and prior to the Final Expiration Date (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement) or earlier under certain circumstances
set forth in the Rights Agreement, at the office of the Rights Agent designated for such purposes, or at the office of its successor
as Rights Agent, one fully paid non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Share”),
of the Company, at a purchase price of $31.50 per Common Share (the “Purchase Price”), upon presentation and
surrender of this Right Certificate with the Form of Election to Purchase duly executed. The number of Rights represented by this
Right Certificate (and the number of Common Shares which may be purchased upon exercise hereof) set forth above, and the Purchase
Price set forth above, are the number and Purchase Price as of May 18, 2020, based on the Common Shares as constituted at such
date. As provided in the Rights Agreement, the Purchase Price and the number of Common Shares (or other securities or property)
which may be purchased upon the exercise of the Rights represented by this Right Certificate are subject to modification and adjustment
upon the happening of certain events.


 


From and after a person
or entity becomes an Acquiring Person (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement), if the Rights evidenced by this Rights
Certificate are beneficially owned by (i) an Acquiring Person or an Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person (as such terms
are defined in the Rights Agreement), (ii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any Associate or Affiliate thereof) who becomes
a transferee after the Acquiring Person became such or (iii) under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement, a transferee
of an Acquiring Person (or of any Associate or Affiliate thereof) who becomes a transferee prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring
Person’s becoming such, these Rights shall become null and void and no holder hereof shall have any right with respect to
such Rights. On and after the Distribution Date, any Right, the exercise or exchange of which would cause a Person to become an
Acquiring Person, shall become null and void.

This Right Certificate
is subject to all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Rights Agreement, which terms, provisions and conditions are incorporated
herein by this reference and made a part hereof, and to which Rights Agreement reference is made for a full description of the
rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities hereunder of the Rights Agent, the Company and the holders of
the Right Certificates. Copies of the Rights Agreement are on file at the principal executive offices of the Company and the offices
of the Rights Agent. The Company will mail to the holder(s) of this Rights Certificate a copy of the Rights Agreement without charge
after receipt of a written request therefor.


 


This Right Certificate,
with or without other Right Certificates, upon surrender at the office of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, may be
exchanged for another Right Certificate or Right Certificates of like tenor and date representing Rights entitling the holder to
purchase a like aggregate number of Common Shares as the Rights represented by the Right Certificate or Right Certificates surrendered
shall have entitled such holder to purchase. If this Right Certificate shall be exercised in part, the holder shall be entitled
to receive upon surrender hereof another Right Certificate or Right Certificates for the number Rights not exercised, subject to
the Section 14 of the Rights Agreement relating to fractional shares.


 


Subject to the provisions
of the Rights Agreement, at the Company’s option, the Rights represented by this Certificate may be redeemed or exchanged
in accordance with Section 23 and Section 24, respectively, of the Rights Agreement.


 


The Company is not required
to issue fractional Common Shares upon the exercise of any Right or Rights represented hereby, and in lieu thereof a cash payment
will be made, as provided in the Rights Agreement.


 


No holder of this Right
Certificate, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of the Common Shares
or of any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise or exchange hereof, nor shall anything
contained in the Rights Agreement or herein be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder
of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof,
or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting stockholders
(except as provided in the Rights Agreement), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Right or
Rights represented by this Right Certificate shall have been exercised or exchanged as provided in the Rights Agreement.


 


This Right Certificate
shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been countersigned by the Rights Agent.

UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, AS SET FORTH

RIGHTS AGREEMENT) AND CERTAIN TRANSFEREES THEREOF, AMONG OTHERS, WILL BECOME NULL AND VOID AND WILL NO LONGER BE TRANSFERABLE.


 


SUMMARY OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE


 


COMMON SHARES


 


On _________, Healthcare
Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), declared a dividend of one common share purchase right
(a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”),
of the Company outstanding on _________ (the “Record Date”) to the holders of record of Common Stock on that
date. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one share of Common Stock of the Company (the “Common
Share”), at a price of $31.50 per Common Share represented by a Right (the “Purchase Price”), subject
to adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”),
dated as of May 18, 2020, as the same may be amended from time to time, between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A.,
a federally chartered trust company, as Rights Agent.


 


DETACHMENT AND TRANSFER OF RIGHTS


 


Until the close of
business on the 10th business day following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons has
become an “Acquiring Person” (as defined in the Rights Agreement) or when a majority of the Board of Directors
becomes aware of the existence of an Acquiring Person (the earlier of such dates, the “Stock Acquisition Date”),
or, in the event the Board of Directors determines on or before the 10th business day to effect an exchange in accordance
with Section 24 of the Rights Agreement and determines that a later date is advisable, then the later date determined by the Board
of Directors (the “Distribution Date,” provided, however, that the Distribution Date will in no event
be prior to the Record Date; provided, further, that the Board of Directors may determine to delay the occurrence of the
Distribution Date until the Board of Directors determines based on the advice of counsel that the exercise or exercisability of
the Right would not result in the Company failing to qualify as a REIT), the Rights will be represented, with respect to any of
the Common Stock certificates outstanding as of the Record Date, by the Common Stock certificate (or book-entry Common Shares)
with a copy of this Summary of Rights attached thereto. In general, an “Acquiring Person” is a person, the affiliates
or associates of the person, or a group, that has acquired beneficial ownership of 2.0% or more of the outstanding Common Shares,
subject to certain exceptions, including, among other things, that certain “Exempt Persons” and “Passive
Investors,” each as defined in the Rights Agreement, may have greater beneficial ownership without becoming an “Acquiring
Person.” In addition, certain inadvertent acquisitions will not trigger the occurrence of the Distribution Date. In the
event the Common Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, the 2.0% threshold will
increase to a threshold of 4.9% effective upon the commencement of trading.


 






    	 	B-1	 



     


    

 


Securities “Beneficial
Owned” by a person, together with its affiliates and associates, include (i) any securities beneficially owned, directly
or indirectly, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) except under limited circumstances,
securities with respect to which the person, or any of its affiliates or associates, has the right or obligation to acquire or
the right to vote pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, (iii) any securities which are beneficially owned, directly
or indirectly, by any other person (or any affiliate or associate of the other person) with which the person, or any of its affiliates
or associates, is Acting in Concert (as defined in the Rights Agreement) with or has any agreement, arrangement or understanding,
whether or not in writing, for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (subject to certain limited exceptions) or disposing of
any voting securities of the Company, and (iv) any securities which are the subject of, or the reference securities for, or that
underlie, any derivative securities (as defined under Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) that increase in value as the value of
the underlying equity increases.


 


The Rights Agreement
provides that, until the Distribution Date (or earlier expiration of the Rights), the Rights will be transferred with and only
with the Common Shares. Until the Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), any new Common Stock certificates
issued after the Record Date will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference. Until the Distribution Date
(or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), the surrender for transfer of any Common Shares outstanding as of the Record
Date, even without any notation or a copy of this Summary of Rights being attached thereto, will also constitute the transfer of
the Rights associated with the Common Stock. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, unless the Company chooses
to use book entry in lieu of physical certificates, separate certificates representing the Rights (“Right Certificates”)
will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Shares as of the close of business on the Distribution Date, and the separate
Right Certificates alone will represent the Rights. If the Company uses book entry in lieu of physical certificates, “Rights
Certificates” will be deemed to mean the uncertificated book entry representing the related Rights.


 


On the Distribution
Date, proper provision will be made by the Company in order to provide each holder (other than the Company) of partnership units
designated as “OP Units” of Healthcare Trust Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”),
with the number of Rights, represented by Right Certificates, as would be issued to the applicable holder as if the Company had
redeemed all of the holder’s partnership units for Common Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreement of
limited partnership of the Partnership immediately prior to the Distribution Date.


 


EXERCISABILITY OF RIGHTS


 


The Rights are not
exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire, unless the Rights are previously redeemed, exchanged or terminated,
on the earlier of May 18, 2023 or, if the Common Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or The NASDAQ Stock Market
LLC, 364 days from the commencement of trading.


 


The Purchase Price
payable, and the number of Common Shares or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights is subject to adjustment
from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event the Company declares a dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares
or effects a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the Common Shares; (ii) in the event the Board of Directors fixes
a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of the Common Shares entitling them (for a period
expiring within forty-five (45) calendar days after the record date) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, or shares having
the same rights, privileges and preferences as the Common Shares (“Equivalent Common Shares”), at a price, or
securities convertible into Common Shares or Equivalent Common Shares with a conversion price, less than the then current market
price of the Common Shares on the record date; or (iii) in the event the Board of Directors fixes a record date for the making
of a distribution to all holders of the Common Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than a regular periodic cash
dividends, if any, or dividends payable in Common Shares) or subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above).


 






    	 	B-2	 



     


    

 


The number of outstanding
Rights and the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of each Right are also subject to adjustment in the event of a stock
split of Common Stock or a stock dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Shares or subdivisions, consolidations or combinations
of the Common Shares occurring, in any such case, prior to the Distribution Date.


 


TRIGGER OF SECTION 11.1.2 AND SECTION 13 EVENTS


 


In the event that any
person becomes an Acquiring Person, unless the event causing the 2.0% threshold to be crossed is a Permitted Offer (as defined
in the Rights Agreement) or a Section 13 Event described below, and the Board of Directors authorizes the Company to issue Rights
Certificates under Section 3.1 of the Rights Agreement (a “Section 11.1.2 Event”), then, each holder of a Right
(except for Rights which have become null and void pursuant to Section 7.6 of the Rights Agreement) shall thereafter have the right
to receive, upon exercise thereof and in lieu of the Common Shares issuable under Section 7.1 of the Rights Agreement, a number
of Common Shares (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) equal to the exercise price
of the Right divided by fifty percent (50%) of the Current Per Share Market Price (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of the Common
Shares at the date of the first occurrence of a Section 11.1.2 Event. However, these Rights will not be exercisable until the Rights
are no longer redeemable by the Company and are also subject to the Company’s exchange right described below. Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing, from and after a Person becomes an Acquiring Person, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances
specified in the Rights Agreement) were, Beneficially Owned by any Acquiring Person (or by certain related parties) will be null
and void. On and after the Distribution Date, any Right, the exercise or exchange of which would cause a Person to become an Acquiring
Person, shall become null and void.


 


For example, at an
exercise price of $31.50 per Right, each Right not owned by an Acquiring Person (or by certain related parties) following a Section
11.1.2 Event would entitle its holder to purchase for $31.50 a number of Common Shares (or other consideration, as noted above)
equal to $31.50 divided by one-half of the Current Per Share Market Price (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of the Common Shares.
Assuming that the Current Per Share Market Price of Common Stock is $15.75 at the applicable time, the holder of each valid Right
would be entitled to purchase 4 Common Shares, having an estimated market value of 4 x $15.75, or $63.00, for $31.50.


 






    	 	B-3	 



     


    

 


If, at any time after
the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) the Company consolidates with, or merges with and into, any other person; (ii) any person consolidates
with the Company, or merges with and into the Company, and the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation of the transaction
and, in connection with the transaction, all or part of the Common Shares are or will be changed into or exchanged for stock or
other securities of any other person (or the Company) or cash or any other property; or (iii) the Company sells or otherwise transfers
(or one or more of its subsidiaries sell or otherwise transfer), in one or more transactions, assets or Earning Power aggregating
50% or more of the assets or Earning Power (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of the Company and its subsidiaries (taken as a
whole) to any other person other than the Company or one or more of its wholly owned subsidiaries (each of the foregoing events,
a “Section 13 Event”), then upon the first occurrence of any Section 13 Events, proper provision will be made
so that each holder of a Right (except for Rights which have become null and void pursuant to Section 7.6 of the Rights Agreement)
will thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise of a Right and in lieu of the Common Shares issuable under Section
7.1 of the Rights Agreement, the number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company (including the Company as successor
thereto or as the surviving corporation) which equals the exercise price of the Right divided by fifty percent (50%) of the Current
Per Share Market Price (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of the shares of common stock of the acquiring company at the date
of the consummation of the Section 13 Event.


 


EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION OF RIGHTS


 


At any time after any
person becomes an Acquiring Person, the Board of Directors may authorize the Company to exchange the Rights (except for Rights
which have become null and void pursuant to Section 7.6 of the Rights Agreement), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of
one Common Share per Right, subject to adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent prohibited by Maryland law, the
Board of Directors shall not be empowered to authorize an exchange at any time after an Acquiring Person becomes the Beneficial
Owner of a majority of the Common Shares then outstanding.


 


With certain exceptions,
no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required unless an adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1%
in such Purchase Price. The Company is not required to issue fractional shares of its stock upon the exercise of Rights, and in
lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be made based on the market value of the applicable stock as determined pursuant to Section
14 of the Rights Agreement.


 


At any time prior to
the earlier of (i) the close of business on the fifth (5th) business day following the Distribution Date, or (ii) the Final Expiration
Date, the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.000001 per Right, subject to adjustment (payable
in cash, Common Shares or other consideration deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors). In the event that Continuing Directors
no longer comprise a majority of the Board (a “Section 23.1 Event”), then for a period of 180 days following
the first occurrence of a Section 23.1 Event, the Rights cannot be redeemed unless there are Continuing Directors and a majority
of the Continuing Directors concur with the Board of Directors’ decision to redeem the Rights. Immediately upon the action
of the Company’s Board of Directors ordering redemption of the Rights (with, if required, the concurrence of a majority of
the Continuing Directors), or at a later time as the Board of Directors may establish for the effectiveness of the redemption,
the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the $0.000001 per Right redemption price.
The term “Continuing Directors” means any member of the Board of Directors who was a member of the Board of
Directors immediately prior to the date of the Rights Agreement, and any person who is subsequently elected to the Board of Directors
if the person is recommended or approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors, but shall not include an Acquiring Person,
or an affiliate or associate of an Acquiring Person, or any representative or nominee of the foregoing entities.

Until a Right is exercised
or exchanged, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a holder of the Common Stock for which the Right is exercisable
or exchangeable, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.


 


AMENDMENT OF RIGHTS


 


The terms of the Rights
Agreement may be amended by the Board of Directors without the consent of the holders of the Rights provided that, from and after
the Distribution Date, the Rights Agreement may not be amended or supplemented in any manner which would adversely affect the interests
of the holders of Rights (other than an Acquiring Person and its affiliates and associates).
