 ARTICLE III. 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE INVESTORS 

Each Investor, severally, and not jointly or jointly and severally, represents and warrants to the Company as set forth below in this
Article 3, which representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof and will (except to the extent expressly relating to a specified date) be true and correct as of the date of Closing (provided, that Coleman only makes the
below representations and warranties to the extent applicable to an individual and not an entity): 
 Section 3.1
Organization; Authority; Qualification. Such Investor has been duly formed, and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. Such Investor has all requisite power and authority to enter into
this Agreement, and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby. 
  

 3 








 Section 3.2 Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Agreement by such Investor have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action of such Investor and its members or partners. The Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against such
Investor in accordance with its terms, as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or the application of equitable principles. 

Section 3.3 Consents and Approvals. Except as shall have been satisfied prior to the Closing Date, no consent, waiver,
approval or authorization of any third party or governmental authority or agency is required to be obtained by such Investor in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except
for those consents, waivers, approvals or authorizations, the failure of which to obtain would not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations (a “Material Adverse Effect”) of such
Investor. 
 Section 3.4 No Violation. None of the execution, delivery or performance of the Agreement, and the
transactions contemplated hereby does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of termination, acceleration,
cancellation or other right adverse to the Company of (A) the organizational documents, including the operating agreement, if any, of such Investor, (B) any agreement, document or instrument to which such Investor is a party or by which
such Investor is bound, or (C) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree, or require any approval, consent or waiver of, or make any filing with, any person or governmental or regulatory authority or foreign,
federal, state, local or other law binding on such Investor or by which such Investor or its assets are bound or subject; provided in the case of (B) and (C) above, unless any such violation, conflict, breach, default or right would not
have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.5 Investment Purposes. Such Investor acknowledges its understanding
that the offering and issuance of Common Stock to be acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the
accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of such Investor contained herein. In furtherance thereof, such Investor, severally, and not jointly or jointly and severally, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 Section 3.5.1 Investment. Such Investor is acquiring Common Stock hereunder solely for its own account and not
with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Such Investor agrees and acknowledges that it will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of
(hereinafter, “Transfer”) any of the Common Stock acquired hereunder, unless (i) the Transfer is pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and qualification or other compliance under applicable
blue sky or state securities laws, or (ii) counsel for such Investor (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, it being agreed that Richards Kibbe & Orbe LLP 

 

 4 








 
is acceptable to the Company) shall have furnished the Company with an opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to the effect that no such registration is required
because of the availability of an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. 
 Section 3.5.2 Knowledge.
Such Investor is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in business and financial matters and fully understands the limitations on transfer imposed by the Federal securities laws and as described in the Agreement. Such Investor is able to bear
the economic risk of holding the Common Stock for an indefinite period and is able to afford the complete loss of its investment in the Common Stock; such Investor has received and reviewed all information and documents about or pertaining to the
Company, the business and prospects of the Company and the issuance of the Common Stock, as such Investor deems necessary or desirable, and has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to ask questions and
receive answers about such information and documents, the Company, the business and prospects of the Company and the Common Stock, which such Investor deems necessary or desirable to evaluate the merits and risks related to its investment in the
Common Stock. Such Investor has reviewed with its legal counsel and tax advisors the forms of Articles of Amendment and Restatement and Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company and the partnership agreement of the Company’s operating
partnership subsidiary. 
 Section 3.5.3 Holding Period. Such Investor acknowledges that it has been advised that
(i) the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement are “restricted securities” (unless registered in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws) under applicable federal securities laws and may be disposed of only
pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption therefrom and such Investor understands that the Company has no obligation to register such Investor’s Common Stock, except to the extent set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement; accordingly, such Investor may have to bear indefinitely the economic risks of an investment in such Common Stock, (ii) a restrictive legend in the form hereafter set forth shall be placed on the Share Certificates, and (iii) a
notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Company indicating that the shares of Common Stock issued hereunder are subject to restrictions on transfer. 

Section 3.5.4 Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501
(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act). Such Investor has previously provided the Company with a duly executed Accredited Investor Questionnaire. No event or circumstance has occurred since delivery of such Investor’s Questionnaire
to make the statements contained therein false or misleading. 
 Section 3.5.5 Legend. Each Share Certificate issued
pursuant to this Agreement, unless registered in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws, shall bear the following legend: 

The securities evidenced hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or
the securities laws of any state and may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the absence of such registration, unless the transferor delivers to the company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the company, to the effect that the
proposed sale, transfer or other disposition may be effected without registration under the Act and under applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws; 
  


 5 








 In addition to the foregoing legend, each Share Certificate shall bear a legend which generally provides the
following: 
 The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on Beneficial and Constructive Ownership and
Transfer for the purpose, among others, of the Corporation’s maintenance of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to certain further restrictions
and except as expressly provided in the Corporation’s Charter, (i) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock in excess of 9.8% (in value or number of shares) of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (ii) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation in excess
of 9.8% of the value of the total outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation, unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (iii) no Person may Beneficially or Constructively
Own Capital Stock that would result in the Corporation being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT; and (iv) no Person may Transfer shares of Capital Stock
if such Transfer would result in the Capital Stock of the Corporation being owned by fewer than 100 Persons. Any Person who Beneficially or Constructively Owns or attempts to Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock which causes or
will cause a Person to Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock in excess or in violation of the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation. If any of the restrictions on transfer or ownership set forth in
(i) through (iii) above are violated, the shares of Capital Stock represented hereby will be automatically transferred to a Trustee of a Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. In addition, the Corporation may take
other actions, including redeeming shares upon the terms and conditions specified by the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion if the Board of Directors determines that ownership or a Transfer or other event may violate the
restrictions described above. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions described above may be void ab initio. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in
the Charter of the Corporation, as the same may be amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer and ownership, will be furnished to each holder of Capital Stock of the Corporation on request and without charge.
Requests for such a copy may be directed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its Principal Office. 
 Section 3.6 No
Brokers. Neither such Investor nor any of its officers, directors or employees, to the extent applicable, has employed or made any agreement with any broker, finder or similar agent or any person or firm which will result in the obligation of
the Company or any of its affiliates to pay any finder’s fee, brokerage fees or commissions or similar payment in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. 

Except as set forth in this Article III, no Investor makes any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, and the Company acknowledges
that it has not relied upon any other such representation or warranty.

 ARTICLE IV. 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY 

The Company represents and warrants to the Investors as set forth below in this Article 4, which representations and warranties are true
and correct as of the date hereof and will (except to the extent expressly relating to a specified date) be true and correct as of the date of Closing: 

Section 4.1 Organization; Authority. The Company has been duly formed and is validly existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its formation, and has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and, to the extent required under applicable law, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of
its business or the character of its property make such qualification necessary. 
 Section 4.2 Due Authorization.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action of the Company. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms, as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or the application of equitable principles. 

Section 4.3 Consents and Approvals. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investors made
hereunder and except in connection with the IPO, no consent, waiver, approval or authorization of any third party or governmental authority or agency is required to be obtained by the Company in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except any of the foregoing that shall have been satisfied prior to the Closing Date or the IPO Closing, as applicable, and except for those consents, waivers and approvals or
authorizations, the failure of which to obtain would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 4.4
Non-Contravention. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investors made hereunder, none of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the subscription
transactions contemplated hereby will (A) result in a default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) or give to any third party any right of termination, cancellation, amendment or acceleration under, or
result in any loss of any material benefit, pursuant to any material agreement, document or instrument to which the Company or any of its properties or assets may be bound or (B) violate or conflict with any judgment, order, decree, or law
applicable to the Company or any of its properties or assets; provided in the case of (A) and (B), unless any such default, violation or conflict would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 4.5 REIT Status. At the effective time of the IPO and Closing, the Company shall be organized in a manner so as to
qualify as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust within the meaning of Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a “REIT”). As described in the prospectus relating to the IPO, the
Company intends to elect to be taxed and to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2010. 

 

 7 








 Section 4.6 Common Stock. The Common Stock issuable at the Closing in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive or similar rights created by statute or any agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

 Section 4.7 No Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Company’s knowledge,
threatened against the Company that, if adversely determined, would have a Material Adverse Effect on the ability of the Company to execute or deliver, or perform its obligations under, this Agreement and the documents executed by it pursuant to
this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 Section 4.8 No Prior Business.
Since the date of its formation, the Company has not conducted any business, nor has it incurred any liabilities or obligations (direct or indirect, present or contingent), in each case except in connection with the formation transactions and the
IPO and as contemplated under this Agreement. 
 Section 4.9 No Broker. Neither Company nor any of its officers,
directors or employees, to the extent applicable, has employed or made any agreement with any broker, finder or similar agent or any person or firm which will result in the obligation of any Investor or any of its respective affiliates to pay any
finder’s fee, brokerage fees or commissions or similar payment in connection with transactions contemplated by the Agreement. 
 Except as
set forth in this Article 4, the Company does not make any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, and each Investor acknowledges that it has not relied upon any other such representation or warranty. 

ARTICLE V.  

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 5.1 Information. The Company may request from the Investor such additional information as the Company may deem
necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Common Stock, and may request from time to time such information as the Company may deem necessary to determine the eligibility of the Investor to hold the Common Stock or to
enable the Company to determine the Company’s compliance with applicable regulatory requirements or tax status, and the Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested. 

Section 5.2 Further Assurances. The Investors and the Company shall take such other actions and execute such additional
documents following the Closing as the other may reasonably request in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby.

 8

Section 5.14 Equitable Remedies. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the
provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the 

 

 10 








 
parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any federal or state court located
in California (as to which the parties agree to submit to jurisdiction for the purpose of such action), this being in addition to any other remedy to which the parties are entitled under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to permit the Investors to enforce consummation of the IPO. 
 Section 5.15 Dispute
Resolution. The parties hereby agree that, in order to obtain prompt and expeditious resolution of any disputes under this Agreement, each claim, dispute or controversy of whatever nature, arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to
the interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement (or any other agreement contemplated by or related to this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties), including without limitation any claim based on contract, tort or statute,
or the arbitrability of any claim hereunder (an “Arbitrable Claim”), shall, subject to Section 5.13 above, be settled by final and binding arbitration conducted in Los Angeles, California. The arbitrability of any Arbitrable
Claims under this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with a two-step dispute resolution process administered by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) involving, first, mediation before a retired
judge from the JAMS panel, followed, if necessary, by final and binding arbitration before the same, or if requested by either party, another JAMS panelist. Such dispute resolution process shall be confidential and shall be conducted in accordance
with California Evidence Code Section 1119. 
 Section 5.16 Mediation. In the event any Arbitrable Claim is not
resolved by an informal negotiation between the parties within fifteen (15) days after either party receives written notice that a Arbitrable Claim exists, the matter shall be referred to the Los Angeles, California office of JAMS, or any other
office agreed to by the parties, for an informal, non-binding mediation consisting of one or more conferences between the parties in which a retired judge will seek to guide the parties to a resolution of the Arbitrable Claims. The parties shall
select a mutually acceptable neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of mediators. In the event the parties cannot agree on a mediator, the Administrator of JAMS will appoint a mediator. The mediation process shall continue until the earliest
to occur of the following: (i) the Arbitrable Claims are resolved, (ii) the mediator makes a finding that there is no possibility of resolution through mediation, or (iii) thirty (30) days have elapsed since the Arbitrable Claim
was first scheduled for mediation. 
 Section 5.17 Arbitration. Should any Arbitrable Claims remain after the
completion of the mediation process described above, the parties agree to submit all remaining Arbitrable Claims to final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the then existing JAMS Arbitration Rules. Neither party nor the
arbitrator shall disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties. Except as provided herein, the California Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement and
all proceedings pursuant to this subparagraph. The arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any substantive law other than the laws selected or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The arbitrator shall render an award and a written,
reasoned opinion in support thereof. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 
  

 11 








 Section 5.18 Survivability. This dispute resolution process shall survive the
termination of this Agreement. The parties expressly acknowledge that by signing this Agreement, they are giving up their respective right to a jury trial. 

Section 5.19 Enforcement Costs. Should any party institute any action or proceeding under Section 5.15 above (or, with
respect to the Company, Sections 5.16 or 5.17 above), the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by such prevailing party in connection with such action or
proceeding. A party entitled to recover costs and expenses under this Section shall also be entitled to recover all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in the enforcement of any judgment or settlement obtained in
such action or proceeding and provision (and in any such judgment provision shall be made for the recovery of such post-judgment costs and expenses). 

Section 5.20 Several Liability. It is understood and acknowledged that to the extent any Investor makes a representation,
warranty or covenant hereunder, or assumes liability for indemnification or otherwise hereunder, the same is made or assumed by such Investor severally, and not jointly or jointly and severally with any other Investor.
