The
Holder agrees solely with the Company that from the date that the undersigned executes the Settlement Agreement (the “Effective

the Restricted Period (any such date, a “Date of Determination”), an amount of the Securities more than 5%
of the trading volume of Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP for the applicable Date of Determination (“Leak-Out
Percentage”).

 

Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, during the Restricted Period, the Holder may, directly or indirectly, sell or transfer all, or
any part, of the Shares or the Conversion Shares (the “Restricted Securities”) to any Person (an “Assignee”)
in a transaction which does not need to be reported on the Nasdaq consolidated tape, without complying with (or otherwise limited
by) the restrictions set forth in this Leak-Out Agreement; provided, that as a condition to any such sale or transfer an authorized
signatory of the Company and such Assignee duly execute and deliver a leak-out agreement in the form of this Leak-Out Agreement
(an “Assignee Agreement”, and each such transfer a “Permitted Transfer”), provided that
the Leak-Out Percentage as to such Assignee and the Leak-Out Percentage of the assignor shall be proportionally adjusted based
on the original leak-Out Percentage of the Holder.

 

The
Holder further agrees (x) not to transfer any Preferred Stock to any Person without the prior written consent of the Company and
(y) to forbear from taking any actions, directly or indirectly, to request, effect or otherwise require the redemption, in whole
or in part, for cash of any of the Preferred Stock, to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations,
until the six month anniversary of the date hereof.

The
terms of this Leak-Out Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their

average price is unavailable, the market value of one of the Common Shares on the fifth business day after the Spin-Off Date determined, using a volume-weighted average method, by a nationally recognized
independent investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the Corporation). 
 Section 2.    Ranking.
The Series A Preferred Shares rank, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, senior in preference and priority to the Common Shares of the Corporation and any securities into which

Section 3.    Dividend Rights. The holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Shares shall be
entitled to receive dividends, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) in a separate declaration, out of any assets that are legally available therefor, and the Corporation shall not
declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation unless the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding shall first have received dividends in an aggregate amount equal

Preferred Shares remain outstanding, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of, any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation or the commencement of any proceedings for bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or similar action of the Corporation (each of such events, a “Liquidation Event”), the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for
distribution to its stockholders before and in preference to any payments on a Liquidation Event to any Junior Securities, an aggregate amount equal to the then-remaining Series A Maximum Dividend (the “Liquidation Amount”) payable
on a pro rata basis to each holder of Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding on or prior to the occurrence of any Liquidation Event. After payment of the Liquidation Amount to the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares, the holders of the
Series A Preferred Shares shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the holders of outstanding Common Shares shall be entitled to receive any payments on a Liquidation Event to the extent that such payments are necessary to enable the Corporation to qualify, or maintain its status, as a REIT. 

Section 5.    Voting and Consent Rights. Except as provided in this Section or as required by law, the holders
of the Series A Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to vote on any matter presented to the holders of Common Shares for their action or consideration.

or repeal (including, without limitation, as a result of a merger, consolidation, or other extraordinary transaction) of any provisions of these Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation (this “Charter”) or
the Amended and Restated Code of Regulations (the “Code of Regulations”) of the Corporation that amends, modifies or adversely affects the rights, preferences, powers, privileges, conditions or voting powers of the Series A Preferred
Shares; 
 (c)    unless in connection with an election of directors as required by the Series A
Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 7 of this Division A of this Article FOURTH, increase or decrease the number of directors on the Board of Directors to greater than nine or less than five; or 

(d)     issue any additional shares of Series A Preferred Shares.

 Section 6.    Restrictions on Payments.

not permit any Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

any other payment or distribution in any form on account of the Corporation’s capital stock (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries) or to
the direct or indirect holders of the Corporation’s capital stock unless otherwise permitted by Section 3 of this Division A of this Article FOURTH;

without limitation, performing tenant build-out work), (ii) maintaining a property or otherwise making capital expenditures with respect to a property in the ordinary course of business, or
(iii) restoring a property to substantially its pre-casualty condition following a casualty event); or 

(vi)    make loans or advances to a Person that is not the Corporation or a Subsidiary other than loans or

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon an affirmative vote or written consent of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, the restrictions contained in this Section 6 in this Division A in this Article FOURTH may be waived in regards to one or more transactions. 

Section 7.    Election of Directors. References in this Section 7 of this Division A of this Article
FOURTH to “special meetings of shareholders” refer to special meetings of the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares. Either (i) prior to the repayment in full or refinancing of Indebtedness outstanding under, and the termination
of, the Loan Agreement, dated February 14, 2018, by and among certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of DDR Corp. and Column Financial, Inc. (an affiliate of Credit Suisse AG), JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association (the “Mortgage Loan”), or (ii) upon the Corporation having a duty to conduct a redemption pursuant to Section 8 of this Division A of this Article FOURTH but not being able to carry out such redemption due to it being
prohibited by Ohio law governing distributions to stockholders, the record holders of at least 10% of the Series A Preferred Shares, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled, after providing at least 10 days’ advance written
notice to the Corporation, to call, or the Secretary of the Corporation shall call, upon receiving at least 10 days’ advance written notice from the record holders of at least 10% of the Series A Preferred Shares, a special meeting of
shareholders. In the event that a special meeting of shareholders is called by the Secretary of the Corporation pursuant to this Section 7 of this Division A of this Article FOURTH, notice thereof shall be given by the Corporation in the same
manner as required for an annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation. Such special meeting of shareholders may only be called for the purpose of the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares electing, by a plurality vote, voting exclusively

fewer following their installment, or (ii) three directors nominated by the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares in the written notice to the Corporation regarding such meeting, if the number of directors on the Board of Directors will be

transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that (i) the Corporation sells, assigns, transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or
more related transactions, to any Person, or (ii) any Person, directly or indirectly, becomes the beneficial owner of 40% or more of the Common Shares, measured by voting power rather than number of Common Shares; or 

  
 - 7 - 

 (c)    any failure of the Corporation to comply with its
duties and obligations under this Division A in this Article FOURTH that is current and continuing. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
failure of the Corporation to comply with its duties and obligations under Section 6 of this Division A of this Article FOURTH must be continuing for a period of not less than five business days for the right of the holders of the Series A
Preferred Shares to nominate and elect directors under this Section 7 of this Division A of this Article FOURTH to arise. 
 In the
event the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares shall have the right to call or cause to be called a special meeting of shareholders for the election of directors to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 7 of this Division A of
this Article FOURTH, in lieu of holding such special meeting of shareholders to elect such directors, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares may elect such directors by unanimous written consent. 

Notwithstanding any provision of these Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the directors who may be elected to the Board of
Directors by the holders of Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 7 of this Division A of this Article FOURTH shall serve in addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected otherwise than pursuant to this
Subsection. Furthermore, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of directors that the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall be eligible to nominate and elect pursuant to this Section 7 of this Division A of this Article FOURTH will
be reduced by the number of directors, if any, previously recommended or nominated by the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares sitting on the Board of Directors at the time their right to nominate and elect directors under this Section 7 of
this Division A of this Article FOURTH arises. Any directors elected to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 7 of this Division A of this Article FOURTH shall be elected for an initial term expiring at the Corporation’s next
annual meeting of shareholders. In the event the conditions for the election of directors to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 7 of this Division A of this Article FOURTH continue to be satisfied at the end of such directors’
terms, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to elect by a plurality vote, voting exclusively and as a separate class, the applicable number of directors for terms expiring at the Corporation’s next annual meeting of
shareholders. 
 Immediately upon such time as the conditions for the election of directors to the Board of Directors pursuant to this
Section 7 of this Division A of this Article Fourth are no longer satisfied, the terms of office of the directors then in office who were elected to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 7 of this Division A of this Article
FOURTH shall terminate immediately. If the office of any such director elected becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, removal from office or otherwise, the remaining director or directors elected pursuant to this Section 7 of this
Division A of this Article FOURTH shall elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. 

Section 8.    Mandatory Redemption. Following the repayment in full or refinancing of the Mortgage Loan,
unless prohibited by Ohio law governing distributions to stockholders, (i) the Series A Preferred Shares shall be redeemed within ten days of the occurrence of: 

(a)    the Corporation failing to qualify, or maintain its status, as a REIT; or 

  
 - 8 - 

 (b)    any failure of the Corporation to comply with its
duties and obligations under this Division A in this Article FOURTH, and 
 (ii) the Series A Preferred Shares shall be redeemed immediately upon the
occurrence of: 
 (a)    the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger
or consolidation) the result of which is that (i) the Corporation sells, assigns, transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person, or
(ii) any Person, directly or indirectly, becomes the beneficial owner of 40% or more of the Common Shares, measured by voting power rather than number of Common Shares; or 

(b)    the payment by the Corporation to the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares of dividends in an
aggregate amount equal to $200,000,000. 
 The date of any such redemption described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 8 of
this Division A of this Article FOURTH shall be referred to as the “Mandatory Redemption Date.” 
 The redemption price payable
per share to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall be (i) calculated by dividing the number of Series A Preferred Shares outstanding on the applicable Mandatory Redemption Date into the difference of (x) $200,000,000 minus
(y) the aggregate amount of dividends previously distributed to the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares in the event of a mandatory redemption due to the occurrence of any of clauses (i)(a), (i)(b) or (ii)(a) above, or (ii) $1 in the event
of a mandatory redemption due to the occurrence of clause (ii)(b) above (both redemption prices as used in this Section 8 of this Division A of this Article FOURTH, the “Mandatory Redemption Price”). 

The Corporation shall mail, postage prepaid, written notice of redemption (the “Mandatory Redemption Notice”) to each holder of
record of the Series A Preferred Shares not less than two days prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date. The Mandatory Redemption Notice shall state: 

(a)    the Mandatory Redemption Date; 

(b)    the Mandatory Redemption Price; 

(c)    that on the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Mandatory Redemption Price will become due and payable
upon each of the Series A Preferred Shares; 
 (d)    if certificated, that the Series A Preferred Shares
called for redemption must be surrendered to collect the Mandatory Redemption Price and instructions for the such surrender; 

(e)    the section of this Charter pursuant to which the Series A Preferred Shares are being redeemed; and

 (f)    the CUSIP number, if any, assigned to the Series A Preferred Shares. 

  
 - 9 - 

 A Mandatory Redemption Notice that has been mailed in the manner provided herein shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder of the Series A Preferred Shares received the Mandatory Redemption Notice. If the Mandatory Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the
applicable Mandatory Redemption Date, the Mandatory Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed on such Mandatory Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment
agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner, then all rights, preferences, power and privileges with respect to such Series A Preferred Shares shall forthwith after the Mandatory Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the
holders to receive the Mandatory Redemption Price without interest. 
 Section 9.    Optional Redemption.
The Corporation may redeem the Series A Preferred Shares, or any part thereof, at any time. If less than all of the Series A Preferred Shares are to be redeemed, then the Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or by other
similar method ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares. 
 The date of such redemption shall be referred to as the
“Optional Redemption Date.” 
 The redemption price payable per share to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall be
calculated by dividing the number of Series A Preferred Shares outstanding on the applicable Optional Redemption Date into the difference of (x) $200,000,000 minus (y) the aggregate amount of dividends previously distributed to the
holders of the Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed (the “Optional Redemption Price”). 
 The Corporation shall mail, postage
prepaid, written notice of redemption (the “Optional Redemption Notice”) to each holder of record of the Series A Preferred Shares not less than two days prior to the Optional Redemption Date. The Optional Redemption Notice shall state:

 (a)    the Optional Redemption Date;

(c)    that on the Optional Redemption Date, the Optional Redemption Price will become due and payable upon
each of the Series A Preferred Shares;

called for redemption must be surrendered to collect the Optional Redemption Price and instructions for the such surrender; 

(e)    the section of this Charter pursuant to which the Series A Preferred Shares are being redeemed; and

An Optional Redemption Notice that has been mailed in the manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the
date mailed whether or not the holder of the Series A Preferred Shares received the Optional Redemption Notice. If the Optional Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the applicable Optional Redemption

Date, the Optional Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed on such Optional Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an

has attempted to acquire beneficial ownership (determined without reference to any rules of attribution), Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any Series A Preferred Shares of the

Person (including the shareholder of record) who is holding Series A Preferred Shares for a Beneficial or Constructive Owner shall provide to the Corporation such information as the Corporation may require, in good faith, in order to determine the
Trust’s status as a REIT or a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity” (within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4)(B) of the Code) and to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or to determine such
compliance. 
 (g)    Remedies Not Limited. Nothing contained in this Division A of this Article
FOURTH shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation and the interests of its shareholders by preservation of the Corporation’s status as a REIT. 

  
 - 15 - 

 (h)    Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the
application of any of the provisions of Section 12 of this Division A of this Article FOURTH, including any definition contained in Section 12(a), the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions
of this Section 12 with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it.

(j)    Modification of Ownership Limit. Subject to the limitations provided in Section 12(k) of
this Division A of this Article FOURTH, the Board of Directors may from time to time increase the Ownership Limit. 

(k)    Limitations on Modifications. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Division A of this
Article FOURTH:

(l)    Exceptions. 

(i)    The Board of Directors, with a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or advice from counsel, may
exempt a Person from the Ownership Limit if the Board of Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain that no individual’s (for purposes of Section 542(a)(2) of the Code)
Beneficial Ownership of such Series A Preferred Shares would cause the Corporation to be “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code and agrees that any violation or attempted violation will result in such Series A
Preferred Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit being transferred to a Trust in accordance with Section 12(c) of this Division A of this Article FOURTH. 

(ii)    The Board of Directors, with a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or advice from counsel,

application of Section 318 of the Code, as modified by Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), more than a 9.9% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in a tenant of any real property owned or leased by the Corporation,
and the Corporation obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain this fact and agrees that any violation or attempted violation will result in such Series A Preferred Shares in excess of
9.8% being transferred to a Trust in accordance with Section 12(c) of this Division A of this Article FOURTH.

 Section 13.    Shares-in-Trust. 
 (a)    Trust. Any Series A
Preferred Shares transferred to a Trust and designated Shares-in-Trust pursuant to Section 12(c) of Division A of this Article FOURTH shall be held for the
exclusive benefit of the Beneficiary. The Corporation shall name a beneficiary of each Trust within five days after discovery of the existence of such Shares-in-Trust.
Any transfer to a Trust, and subsequent designation of Series A Preferred Shares as Shares-in-Trust, pursuant to Section 12(c) of Division A of this Article FOURTH
shall be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the Transfer or Non-Transfer Event that results in the transfer to the Trust. Shares-in-Trust shall remain issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Shares and shall be entitled to the same rights and privileges on identical terms and conditions as are all other issued and outstanding
Series A Preferred Shares. When transferred to the Permitted Transferee in accordance with the provisions of Section 13(e) of Division A of this Article FOURTH, such
Shares-in-Trust shall cease to be designated as Shares-in-Trust. 

(b)    Dividend Rights. The Trustee, as record holder of Shares-in-Trust, shall be entitled to receive all dividends and distributions as may be declared by the Board of Directors on such Series A Preferred Shares and shall hold such dividends or distributions in
trust for the benefit of the Beneficiary. The Prohibited Owner with respect to Shares-in-Trust shall repay to the Trustee the amount of any dividends or distributions
received by it that (i) are attributable to any Series A Preferred Shares designated as Shares-in-Trust and (ii) the record date of which was on or after the
date that such Series A Preferred Shares became Shares-in-Trust. The Corporation shall take all measures that it determines reasonably necessary to recover the amount of
any such dividend or distribution paid to a Prohibited Owner, including, if necessary, withholding any portion of future dividends or distributions payable on Series A Preferred Shares Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned by the Person who,
but for the provisions of Section 12(c) of Division A of this Article FOURTH, would Beneficially Own or Constructively Own the Shares-in-Trust; and, as soon as
reasonably practicable following the Corporation’s receipt or withholding thereof, shall pay over to the Trustee for the benefit of the Beneficiary the dividends so received or withheld, as the case may be. 

(c)    Rights Upon Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of, or any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation, each holder of Shares-in-Trust shall be entitled to receive, ratably with each other
holder of Series A Preferred Shares, that portion of the assets of the Corporation which is available for distribution to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares. The Trustee shall distribute to the Prohibited Owner the amounts received upon such
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, or distribution; provided, however, that the Prohibited Owner shall not be entitled to receive amounts pursuant to this Section 13(c) of Division A of this Article FOURTH in excess of, in the case of a
purported Transfer in which the Prohibited Owner gave value for Series A Preferred Shares and which Transfer 

  
 - 17 - 

 
resulted in the transfer of the shares to the Trust, the price per share, if any, such Prohibited Owner paid for the Series A Preferred Shares and, in the case of a
Non-Transfer Event or Transfer in which the Prohibited Owner did not give value for such shares (e.g., if the shares were received through a gift or devise) and which
Non-Transfer Event or Transfer, as the case may be, resulted in the transfer of shares to the Trust, the price per share equal to the Market Price on the date of such
Non-Transfer Event or Transfer. Any remaining amount in such Trust shall be distributed to the Beneficiary. 

(d)    Voting Rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to vote all Shares-in-Trust. Any vote by a Prohibited Owner as a holder of Series A Preferred Shares prior to the discovery by the Corporation that Series A Preferred Shares are Shares-in-Trust shall, subject to applicable law, be rescinded and shall be void ab initio with respect to such
Shares-in-Trust, and the Prohibited Owner shall be deemed to have given, as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the purported Transfer or Non-Transfer Event that results in the transfer to the Trust of the Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 12(c) of Division A of this Article FOURTH, an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the Shares-in-Trust in the manner in which the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, desires. 

(e)    Designation of Permitted Transferee. The Trustee shall have the exclusive and absolute right
to designate a Permitted Transferee of any and all Shares-in-Trust. As reasonably practicable as possible, in an orderly fashion so as not to materially adversely affect
the Market Price of the Shares-in-Trust, the Trustee shall designate any Person as Permitted Transferee, provided, however, that (i) the Permitted Transferee so
designated purchases for valuable consideration (whether in a public or private sale) the Shares-in-Trust and (ii) the Permitted Transferee so designated may
acquire such Shares-in-Trust without such acquisition resulting in a transfer to a Trust and the redesignation of such Series A Preferred Shares so acquired as Shares-in-Trust under Section 12(c) of Division A of this Article FOURTH. Upon the designation by the Trustee of a Permitted Transferee in accordance with the provisions
of this subparagraph, the Trustee of a Trust shall (i) cause to be transferred to the Permitted Transferee that number of Shares-in-Trust acquired by the Permitted
Transferee, (ii) cause to be recorded on the books of the Corporation that the Permitted Transferee is the holder of record of such number of Series A Preferred Shares, and (iii) distribute to the Beneficiary any and all amounts held with
respect to the Shares-in-Trust after making that payment to the Prohibited Owner pursuant to Section 13(f) of Division A of this Article FOURTH. 

(f)    Compensation to Record Holder of Series A Preferred Shares that Become Shares-In-Trust. Any Prohibited Owner shall be entitled (following discovery of the
Shares-In-Trust and subsequent designation of the Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 12(e) of Division A of this Article FOURTH) to receive from the
Trustee the lesser of (i) in the case of (A) a purported Transfer in which the Prohibited Owner gave value for Series A Preferred Shares and which Transfer resulted in the transfer of the Series A Preferred Shares to the Trust, the price
per share, if any, such Prohibited Owner paid for the Series A Preferred Shares, or (B) a Non-Transfer Event or Transfer in which the Prohibited Owner did not give value for such Series A Preferred Shares
(e.g., if the shares were received through a gift or devise) and which Non-Transfer Event or 

  
 - 18 - 

 
Transfer, as the case may be, resulted in the transfer of Series A Preferred Shares to the Trust, the price per share equal to the Market Price on the date of such
Non-Transfer Event or Transfer, and (ii) the price per share received by the Trustee of the Trust from the sale or other disposition of such
Shares-in-Trust in accordance with Section 13(e) of Division A of this Article FOURTH. Any amounts received by the Trustee in respect of such Shares-in-Trust and in excess of such amounts to be paid the Prohibited Owner pursuant to this Section 13(f) of Division A of this Article FOURTH shall be distributed to
the Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of Section 13(e) of Division A of this Article FOURTH. Each Beneficiary and Prohibited Owner waive any and all claims that they may have against the Trustee and the Corporation arising out of
the disposition of Shares-in-Trust, except for claims arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or any failure to make payments in accordance with
this Section 13 of Division A of this Article FOURTH by, such Trustee or the Corporation. 

(g)    Purchase Right in
Shares-in-Trust. Shares-in-Trust shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the
Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that created such Shares-in-Trust (or, in the
case of devise, gift or Non-Transfer Event, the Market Price at the time of such devise, gift or Non-Transfer Event) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the
Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of ninety days after the later of (i) the date of the Non-Transfer Event or
purported Transfer which resulted in such Shares-in-Trust and (ii) the date the Corporation determines in good faith that a Transfer or Non-Transfer Event resulting in Shares-in-Trust has occurred, if the Corporation does not receive a notice of such Transfer or Non-Transfer Event pursuant to Section 12(e) of Division A of this Article FOURTH. Prompt payment of the purchase price shall be made in such reasonable manner as may be determined by the Corporation. 

Section 14.    Legend. Any certificate for Series A Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:

 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. 

The Series A Preferred Shares represented by this certificate are also subject to restrictions on transfer for the purpose of the Corporation’s
maintenance of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Subject to certain provisions of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, no Person may Beneficially Own Series A Preferred
Shares in excess of 5.75% of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares of the Corporation (other than the Exempt Holder), no Person may Constructively Own Series A Preferred Shares in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares of
the Corporation and no Person may acquire Beneficial Ownership of any Series A Preferred Shares after the Spin-off Date if, as a result of such acquisition, the fair market value of the Series A 

  
 - 19 - 

 
Preferred Shares owned directly and indirectly by Non-U.S. Persons would comprise more than 49% of the fair market value of the issued and outstanding
Series A Preferred Shares. Any Person who attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Series A Preferred Shares in excess of the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation. All capitalized items in this legend have the meanings
defined in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer, will be sent without charge to each shareholder who so requests. If the restrictions on transfer are violated, certain of the
Series A Preferred Shares represented hereby will be transferred automatically and by operation of law to a Trust and shall be designated Shares-in-Trust.” 

Section 15.    Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of
this Division A of this Article FOURTH, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions of this Section with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it and the original intent of the relevant
provisions.

 - 24 -

ownership (determined without reference to any rules of attribution), Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any Common Shares of the Corporation in violation of Section 4(b) of this Division C of this Article FOURTH, or that any

or to prevent such Transfer, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the Corporation or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer.

 - 26 - 

 (g)    Remedies Not Limited. Nothing contained in this

this Section 4 with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it. 

(i)    Modification of Exempt Holder Limit. Subject to the limitations provided in Section 4(k)
of this Division C of this Article FOURTH, the Board of Directors may reduce the Exempt Holder Limit if: (A) based on the annual written notice delivered to the Corporation pursuant to Section 4(f)(i) of this Division C of this Article
FOURTH, the Beneficial Ownership of the Exempt Holder is less than 17.5% of the outstanding Common Shares, then the Board of Directors may reduce the Exempt Holder Limit to 17.5%; (B) based on the annual written notice delivered to the Corporation
pursuant to Section 4(f)(i) of this Division C of this Article FOURTH, the Beneficial Ownership of the Exempt Holder is 7.5% or less of the outstanding Common Shares, then the Board of Directors may reduce the Exempt Holder Limit to 7.5%; or

(ii)    Prior to the modification of any Exempt Holder Limit or Ownership Limit pursuant to
Section 4(i) or Section 4(j) of this Division C of this Article FOURTH, the Board of Directors may require such opinions of counsel, affidavits, undertakings or agreements as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or
ensure the Corporation’s status as a REIT. 
 (iii)    The Exempt Holder Limit shall not be reduced
to a percentage which is less than the Ownership Limit. 

  
 - 27 - 

 (iv)    The Related Party Limit may not be increased to a
percentage which is greater than 9.8%. 
 (l)    Exceptions. 

(i)    The Board of Directors, with a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel,
may exempt a Person from the Ownership Limit or the Exempt Holder Limit, as the case may be, if such Person is not an individual for purposes of Section 542(a)(2) of the Code and the Board of Directors obtains such representations and
undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain that no individual’s Beneficial Ownership of such Common Shares will violate the Ownership Limit or the Exempt Holder Limit, as the case may be, and agrees that any
violation or attempted violation will result in such Common Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit or the Exempt Holder Limit, as applicable, being transferred to a Trust in accordance with Section 4(c) of this Division C of this Article
FOURTH. 
 (ii)    The Board of Directors, with a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion
of counsel, may exempt a Person from the limitation on such Person Constructively Owning Common Shares in excess of the Related Party Limit if such Person does not own and represents that it will not own, directly or constructively (by virtue of the
application of Section 318 of the Code, as modified by Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), more than a 9.9% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in a tenant of any real property owned or leased by the Corporation,
and the Corporation obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain this fact and agrees that any violation or attempted violation will result in such Common Shares in excess of 9.8% being
transferred to a Trust in accordance with Section 4(c) of this Division C of this Article FOURTH. 

(iii)    The Board of Directors may exempt the Exempt Holder, and any Person who would Constructively Own
Common Shares Constructively Owned by the Exempt Holder, from the limitation on the Exempt Holder (or such other Person who would Constructively Own Common Shares Constructively Owned by the Exempt Holder) Constructively Owning Common Shares in
excess of the Related Party Limit in its sole discretion based on the facts and circumstances existing at the time of such proposed exemption and the information provided by the Exempt Holder, including, without limitation, information regarding a
tenant of any real property owned or leased by the Corporation, of which tenant the Exempt Holder (or such other Person who would Constructively Own Common Shares Constructively Owned by the Exempt Holder) owns, directly or constructively (by virtue
of the application of Section 318 of the Code, as modified by Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), more than a 9.9% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code). As a condition to the granting of any such exemption, the
Corporation may require that the Exempt Holder provide representations and undertakings as are reasonably necessary to ascertain information regarding the ownership by the Exempt Holder (or such other Person who would Constructively Own Common
Shares Constructively Owned by the Exempt Holder) of any interest in a tenant of any real property owned or leased by the Corporation and may impose conditions upon any such exemption as the Board of Directors deems necessary or advisable in order
to 

  
 - 28 - 

 
determine or ensure the Corporation’s status as a REIT, including that any exemption may terminate upon any violation or attempted violation of any such representations, undertakings,
conditions or other terms of any agreement between the Corporation and the Exempt Holder. If, upon any termination of an exemption granted under this Section 4(l)(iii) of this Division C of this Article FOURTH, the Exempt Holder (or such other
Person who would Constructively Own Common Shares Constructively Owned by the Exempt Holder) would Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of the Related Party Limit, then the number of Common Shares actually owned by the Exempt Holder (and such
other Person who would Constructively Own Common Shares Constructively Owned by the Exempt Holder) in excess of the Related Party Limit will be transferred to a Trust in accordance with Section 4(c) of this Division C of this Article FOURTH
such that the Exempt Holder (and such other Person who would Constructively Own Common Shares Constructively Owned by the Exempt Holder) will not Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of the Related Party Limit. 

(iv)    The Board of Directors may exempt the Exempt Holder from the Exempt Holder Limit should it
determine that the Beneficial Ownership of the Exempt Holder does not result in the Corporation being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, this
paragraph (iv) shall not be interpreted as a waiver of, or exemption from, the restriction in Section 4(b)(vi). 

Section 5.    Legend. Each certificate for Common Shares shall bear the following legend: 

“The Common Shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer for the purpose of the Corporation’s
maintenance of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Subject to certain provisions of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, no Person may Beneficially Own Common Shares in
excess of 5.0% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation (other than the Exempt Holder), no Person may Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation and no Person may acquire
Beneficial Ownership of any Common Shares after the Spin-off Date if, as a result of such acquisition, the fair market value of the Shares owned directly and indirectly by Non-U.S. Persons would comprise more
than 49% of the fair market value of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Any Person who attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation. All
capitalized items in this legend have the meanings defined in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer, will be sent without charge to each shareholder who so requests. If the
restrictions on transfer are violated, certain of the Common Shares represented hereby will be transferred automatically and by operation of law to a Trust and shall be designated
Shares-in-Trust.” 

  
 - 29 - 

 Section 6.    Shares-in-Trust. 
 (a)    Trust. Any Common Shares
transferred to a Trust and designated Shares-in-Trust pursuant to Section 4(c) of Division C of this Article FOURTH shall be held for the exclusive benefit of the
Beneficiary. The Corporation shall name a beneficiary of each Trust within five days after discovery of the existence of such Shares-in-Trust. Any transfer to a Trust,
and subsequent designation of Common Shares as Shares-in-Trust, pursuant to Section 4(c) of Division C of this Article FOURTH shall be effective as of the close of
business on the business day prior to the date of the Transfer or Non-Transfer Event that results in the transfer to the Trust.
Shares-in-Trust shall remain issued and outstanding Common Shares and shall be entitled to the same rights and privileges on identical terms and conditions as are all
other issued and outstanding Common Shares. When transferred to the Permitted Transferee in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(e) of Division C of this Article FOURTH, such Shares-in-Trust shall cease to be designated as Shares-in-Trust. 

(b)    Dividend Rights. The Trustee, as record holder of Shares-in-Trust, shall be entitled to receive all dividends and distributions as may be declared by the Board of Directors on such Common Shares and shall hold such dividends or distributions in trust for the
benefit of the Beneficiary. The Prohibited Owner with respect to Shares-in-Trust shall repay to the Trustee the amount of any dividends or distributions received by it
that (i) are attributable to any Common Shares designated as Shares-in-Trust and (ii) the record date of which was on or after the date that such Common Shares
became Shares-in-Trust. The Corporation shall take all measures that it determines reasonably necessary to recover the amount of any such dividend or distribution paid
to a Prohibited Owner, including, if necessary, withholding any portion of future dividends or distributions payable on Common Shares Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned by the Person who, but for the provisions of Section 4(c) of
Division C of this Article FOURTH, would Beneficially Own or Constructively Own the Shares-in-Trust; and, as soon as reasonably practicable following the
Corporation’s receipt or withholding thereof, shall pay over to the Trustee for the benefit of the Beneficiary the dividends so received or withheld, as the case may be. 

(c)    Rights Upon Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of, or any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation, each holder of Shares-in-Trust shall be entitled to receive, ratably with each other
holder of Common Shares, that portion of the assets of the Corporation which is available for distribution to the holders of Common Shares. The Trustee shall distribute to the Prohibited Owner the amounts received upon such liquidation, dissolution,
or winding up, or distribution; provided, however, that the Prohibited Owner shall not be entitled to receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6(c) of Division C of this Article FOURTH in excess of, in the case of a purported Transfer in which
the Prohibited Owner gave value for Common Shares and which Transfer resulted in the transfer of the shares to the Trust, the price per share, if any, such Prohibited Owner paid for the Common Shares and, in the case of a Non-Transfer Event or Transfer in which the Prohibited Owner did not give value for such shares (e.g., if the shares were received through a gift or devise) and which
Non-Transfer Event or Transfer, as the case may be, resulted in the transfer of shares to the Trust, the price per share equal to the Market Price on the date of such
Non-Transfer Event or Transfer. Any remaining amount in such Trust shall be distributed to the Beneficiary. 

  
 - 30 - 

 (d)    Voting Rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to
vote all Shares-in-Trust. Any vote by a Prohibited Owner as a holder of Common Shares prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the Common Shares are Shares-in-Trust shall, subject to applicable law, be rescinded and shall be void ab initio with respect to such Shares-in-Trust, and the Prohibited Owner shall be deemed to have given, as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the purported Transfer or
Non-Transfer Event that results in the transfer to the Trust of the Common Shares pursuant to Section 4(c) of Division C of this Article FOURTH, an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the Shares-in-Trust in the manner in which the Trustee, in its sole and absolute discretion, desires. 

(e)    Designation of Permitted Transferee. The Trustee shall have the exclusive and absolute right
to designate a Permitted Transferee of any and all Shares-in-Trust. As reasonably practicable as possible, in an orderly fashion so as not to materially adversely affect
the Market Price of the Shares-in-Trust, the Trustee shall designate any Person as Permitted Transferee, provided, however, that (i) the Permitted Transferee so
designated purchases for valuable consideration (whether in a public or private sale) the Shares-in-Trust and (ii) the Permitted Transferee so designated may
acquire such Shares-in-Trust without such acquisition resulting in a transfer to a Trust and the redesignation of such Common Shares so acquired as Shares-in-Trust under Section 4(c) of Division C of this Article FOURTH. Upon the designation by the Trustee of a Permitted Transferee in accordance with the provisions
of this subparagraph, the Trustee of a Trust shall (i) cause to be transferred to the Permitted Transferee that number of Shares-in-Trust acquired by the Permitted
Transferee, (ii) cause to be recorded on the books of the Corporation that the Permitted Transferee is the holder of record of such number of Common Shares, and (iii) distribute to the Beneficiary any and all amounts held with respect to
the Shares-in-Trust after making that payment to the Prohibited Owner pursuant to Section 6(f) of Division C of this Article FOURTH. 

(f)    Compensation to Record Holder of Common Shares that Become Shares-In-Trust. Any Prohibited Owner shall be entitled (following discovery of the Shares-In-Trust and subsequent
designation of the Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 4(e) of Division C of this Article FOURTH) to receive from the Trustee the lesser of (i) in the case of (A) a purported Transfer in which the Prohibited Owner gave
value for Common Shares and which Transfer resulted in the transfer of the Common Shares to the Trust, the price per share, if any, such Prohibited Owner paid for the Common Shares, or (B) a Non-Transfer
Event or Transfer in which the Prohibited Owner did not give value for such Common Shares (e.g., if the shares were received through a gift or devise) and which Non-Transfer Event or Transfer, as the case may
be, resulted in the transfer of Common Shares to the Trust, the price per share equal to the Market Price on the date of such Non-Transfer Event or Transfer, and (ii) the price per share received by the
Trustee of the Trust from the sale or other disposition of such Shares-in-Trust in accordance with Section 6(e) of Division C of this Article FOURTH. Any amounts
received by the Trustee in respect of such Shares-in-Trust and in excess of such amounts to be paid the Prohibited Owner pursuant to this Section 6(f) of Division C
of this Article FOURTH shall be distributed to the Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(e) of Division C of this Article FOURTH. Each Beneficiary and Prohibited Owner waive any and all claims that they may have against the
Trustee and the Corporation arising out of

the disposition of Shares-in-Trust, except for claims arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of,
or any failure to make payments in accordance with this Section 6 of Division C of this Article FOURTH by, such Trustee or the Corporation. 

(g)    Purchase Right in
Shares-in-Trust. Shares-in-Trust shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the
Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that created such Shares-in-Trust (or, in the
case of devise, gift or Non-Transfer Event, the Market Price at the time of such devise, gift or Non-Transfer Event) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the
Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of ninety days after the later of (i) the date of the Non-Transfer Event or
purported Transfer which resulted in such Shares-in-Trust and (ii) the date the Corporation determines in good faith that a Transfer or Non-Transfer Event resulting in Shares-in-Trust has occurred, if the Corporation does not receive a notice of such Transfer or Non-Transfer Event pursuant to Section 4(e) of Division C of this Article FOURTH. Prompt payment of the purchase price shall be made in such reasonable manner as may be determined by the Corporation. 

FIFTH: No holder of shares of capital stock of the Corporation of any class shall be entitled as such, as a matter of right, to subscribe for
or purchase shares of any class of capital stock, now or hereafter authorized, or to subscribe for or purchase securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Corporation or to which shall be attached or any warrants
or rights entitling the holder thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of capital stock, except such rights of subscription or purchase, if any, for such considerations and upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors from time to
time may determine. 
 SIXTH: Notwithstanding any provision of Section 1701.01, et seq., of the Ohio Revised Code, or any
successor statutes now or hereafter in force, requiring for the authorization or taking of any action the vote or consent of the holders of shares of capital stock entitling them to exercise two-thirds or any
other proportion of the voting power of the Corporation or of any class or classes of such shares thereof, such action, unless otherwise expressly required by law, this Charter or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation, may be authorized or
taken by the vote or consent of the holders of shares entitling them to exercise a majority of the voting power of the Corporation or of such class or classes of shares thereof. 

Except as provided in the Code of Regulations with respect to the election of a director to fill a vacancy in the Board of Directors, each
director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to the director at any shareholder meeting held for the election of directors at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that if as of the date that is ten
days in advance of the date the Corporation files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of whether or not thereafter revised or supplemented) with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to a shareholder meeting, the number of
nominees for election as a director is greater than the number of directors to be elected, then the directors shall be elected at the meeting by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at that meeting and entitled to
vote on the election of directors. For purposes of this Section, a majority of the votes cast means the number of shares voted “for” a director exceeds the number of votes cast “against” the director. Broker non-votes and abstentions will not be considered votes cast at the shareholder meeting and will be excluded in determining the number of votes cast at the shareholder meeting.

 SEVENTH: To the extent permitted by law and except as set forth in Section 6 of Division A
of Article Fourth, the Corporation, by action of its Board of Directors, may purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any class issued by it at such times, for such consideration and upon such terms and conditions as its Board of Directors may
determine. 
 EIGHTH: Except as may otherwise be set forth in the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for the
issue of one or more series of Preferred Shares or in the related amendment hereto as contemplated by Division A and Division B of Article FOURTH, and then only with respect to such series of Preferred Shares (including the Series A Preferred
Shares), cumulative voting in the election of directors is specifically denied. 
 NINTH: The provisions of Chapter 1701.831 of the Ohio
Revised Code shall not apply to the Corporation. 
 TENTH: The provisions of Chapter 1704 of the Ohio Revised Code shall not apply to the
Corporation. 
 ELEVENTH: The provisions of Chapter 1707.043 of the Ohio Revised Code shall not apply to the Corporation. 

TWELFTH: If any provision (or portion thereof) of this Charter shall be found to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, the
remaining provisions (or portions thereof) of this Charter shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect, and shall be construed as if such invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable provision had been stricken herefrom or otherwise rendered
inapplicable, it being the intent of the Corporation and its shareholders that each such remaining provision (or portion thereof) of this Charter remain, to the fullest extent permitted by law, applicable and enforceable as to all shareholders,
notwithstanding any such finding. 
 THIRTEENTH: This Charter may be amended, altered, changed or repealed by the shareholders of the
Corporation by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Division
A of Article FOURTH may only be amended, altered, changed or repealed by a majority vote of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Shares. 

FOURTEENTH: This Charter shall amend and restate and supersede the Corporation’s existing Articles of Incorporation.
