Exhibit 10.1 

 

SEVERANCE AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

 

This SEVERANCE AND
RELEASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is hereby made and entered into this 6th day of December, 2019,
by and between ITERIS, INC. (the “Company”) and ANDREW SCHMIDT (“Executive”) (the Company
and Executive, together, the “Parties”).

 

1.       Termination
Executive’s employment with the Company pursuant to the Employment Agreement dated March 9, 2015, as amended by Amendment
1 to Employment Agreement dated June 12, 2017 (the “Employment Agreement”) will terminate effective as of December
6th, 2019 (the “Termination Date”). Executive will be paid his base salary through the Termination
Date and any accrued but unused vacation earned through the Termination Date, and will also be reimbursed for any approved business
expenses that Executive has timely submitted for reimbursement in accordance with the Company’s business expense reimbursement
policy or practice. Except as set out in this Agreement, as provided by the specific terms of a benefit plan or as required by
law, all employee benefits will end on the Termination Date. Executive hereby acknowledges that upon receipt of his final paycheck,
he will have been paid all compensation due and owing to him through the Termination Date for labor and services performed for
the Company’s benefit. Executive agrees that as of the Termination Date, he will no longer hold a position within the Company
and/or its subsidiaries, including any signature authority or power of attorney with respect to the Company, its subsidiaries and
officers and directors.

 

2.       Severance
Benefits. If Executive signs and does not revoke this Agreement as provided in Section 19 below, the Company will provide Executive
with the following payments and benefits collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Severance Benefits”:

 

(a)              
Severance Pay. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the Company will provide Executive an amount in the aggregate
equal to Executive’s annual Base Salary in effect as of the Termination Date (the “Severance Pay”). The
Severance Pay will be paid (less applicable federal, state and local payroll taxes, and other withholdings required by law or authorized
by Executive) in equal installments on the Company’s normal payroll dates for the twelve (12) month period following the
Effective Date (as defined in Section 19 below) in accordance with the usual payroll practices of the Company. Each payment of
the Severance Pay shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended
(the “Code”), and the regulations issued thereunder (“Section 409A”).

 

(b)               COBRA
Reimbursement. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, provided that Executive properly and timely elects to continue his
health insurance benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ( “COBRA”) after the
Termination Date, and the Company receives from Executive a copy of such election and proof of Executive’s
timely payment of each COBRA premium, the Company will promptly reimburse Executive for the amount of each such premium paid
by Executive for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date or until Executive becomes eligible for
insurance benefits from another employer, whichever is earlier. Executive agrees to notify the Company immediately if he
becomes covered by another group health plan. Executive may thereafter have the right to continue his health insurance
coverage under COBRA entirely at his own expense for the remaining part of the legally-required continuation period, if any.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has the right to discontinue the payment of reimbursements for premiums and to pay
Executive a lump sum amount equal to the current COBRA premium times the number of months remaining in the reimbursement
period if the Company determines that continued reimbursement of the COBRA premiums is discriminatory under Sections 105(h)
and 9815(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(c)              
Continued Vesting. For up to the twelve (12) month period following the Termination Date, provided that Executive
makes himself available for reasonable consulting as requested by the Company during such period, Executive will be entitled to
continued vesting of all outstanding equity awards in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of any equity agreements
and governing plan documents applicable to Executive. This continued vesting will be in lieu of the payment and reimbursement provided
for in Section 7.4 of the Employment Agreement.

 

If Executive does not sign this Agreement
and return it to the Company within twenty-one (21) days of the date it was provided to Executive, or if Executive revokes this
Agreement pursuant to Section 19, Executive will not be entitled to the Severance Benefits as described above. Executive hereby
acknowledges and agrees that but for his execution of this Agreement, he would not be entitled to the Severance Benefits as set
out herein. 

 

3.        Payment
in Full. Executive agrees and acknowledges the Severance Benefits are specific and sufficient consideration for the releases
and covenants contained in this Agreement. Executive further represents and affirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement,
he has been paid and/or received all leave (paid or unpaid), compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions, severance, and/or benefits
to which he may be entitled for any and all work performed for the benefit of the Company, including but not limited to his work
as an employee and that no other leave (paid or unpaid), compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions, severance and/or benefits are
due, except as provided for in this Agreement. Executive specifically agrees and acknowledges that he is not an Eligible Employee
as defined by the Amended and Restated Executive Severance Plan established by Iteris, Inc. on February 5, 2018 and amended and
restated effective June 4, 2019 (the “Severance Plan”), and that the Severance Benefits described in this Agreement
are in lieu of any Severance or Benefit Continuation provided for in the Severance Plan.

 

4.       Release
of Claims. In consideration for the promises set forth in this Agreement, Executive, for himself and for his spouse,
family, heirs, and anyone acting for him, including representatives, attorneys, executors, administrators, successors,
insurers, and assigns, hereby releases, acquits, and forever discharges the Company, its past, present and future directors,
officers, partners, representatives, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates,
successors, predecessors and assigns, (the “Company Releasees”) or any of them, from any and all actions,
causes of action, grievances, obligations, costs, expenses, damages, punitive damages, losses, claims, liabilities, suits,
debts, demands, agreements, orders, benefits (including attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred), or liabilities of
whatever character, in law or in equity, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, matured or unmatured, asserted or not
asserted, based on any act, omission, event, occurrence, or non-occurrence from the beginning of time through the Effective
Date of this Agreement, including but not limited to any claims or causes of action arising out of or in any way relating to
Executive’s employment, the termination of his employment with the Company, and/or any other occurrence arising before
the Effective Date of this Agreement.

Separation and Release Agreement

Excluded from this
release are any claims which cannot be waived by law, including but not limited to the right to file a charge with or participate
in an investigation conducted by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the California Department of Fair Employment
and Housing, the National Labor Relations Board or any other federal, state or local governmental agency charged with investigating
complaints, whether based in employment discrimination, violations of laws governing the payment of wages, labor law violations
or otherwise (collectively, “Governmental Agencies”), provided that Executive is waiving, however, his right
to any monetary compensation, or other relief should Governmental Agencies pursue any claims on his behalf. Also excluded from
this release are any claims for a breach of this Agreement.

 

Executive expressly
agrees and understands that this release and waiver of claims is a GENERAL RELEASE, and that any reference to specific claims
arising out of or in connection with his employment is not intended to limit the release and waiver of claims. Executive, his heirs,
executors, beneficiaries, legal representatives and assigns, individually and/or in their beneficial capacity, further agree never
to institute against the Company or any of the Company Releasees any lawsuit with respect to any claim or cause of action of any
type which may have existed at any time prior to the Effective Date, provided that Executive may file a charge or complaint with
or participate in an investigation conducted by a Governmental Agency as provided above. By signing this Agreement, Executive will
waive any right he had to bring a lawsuit against any of the Company Releasees based upon any actions taken by any of the Company
Releasees prior to the Effective Date, and he will have released the Company Releasees of any and all claims of any nature arising
up to the Effective Date.

 

Executive acknowledges
that Executive is aware that Executive may hereafter discover facts in addition to, or different from, those which Executive now
knows or believes to be true, but it is Executive’s intention here, fully and finally and forever, to settle and to release
any and all matters, disputes and differences, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that do now exist, may exist or heretofore
have existed with respect to those matters described above. Executive hereby acknowledges that this release applies both to known
and unknown claims that may exist between Executive and the Company and the Company Releasees. Executive hereby expressly waives
and relinquishes all rights and benefits that Executive may have under any state or federal statute or common law principle that
would otherwise limit the effect of this Agreement to claims known or suspected prior to the date Executive executes this Agreement,
and does so understanding and acknowledging the significance and consequences of such specific waiver. In addition, Executive hereby
expressly understands and acknowledges that it is possible that unknown losses or claims exist or that present losses may have
been underestimated in amount or severity, and Executive explicitly took that into account in giving this release.

 

Executive hereby waives any and all rights
under Calif. Civil Code § 1542, which provides that:

 

A general release does not
extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of
executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor
or released party.

5.       No
Filings. Executive represents and warrants that he has not filed or otherwise initiated any action, claim, charge, complaint
or lawsuit against the Company or any of the Company Releasees, with any agency, court or Governmental Agency. By signing this
Agreement, Executive agrees and acknowledges that he has no cause to believe that any violation of any local, state or federal
law has occurred with respect to his employment or separation of employment from the Company, including but not limited to any
violation of any federal, state municipal, foreign or international whistleblower or fraud law, statute or regulation. In addition,
Executive further agrees and acknowledges that he is not aware of any conduct that would be unlawful under the False Claims Act,
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, or any other compliance obligation.

 

6.       Confidentiality.
Executive hereby represents and agrees that he will not (except as required by law) disclose information regarding the specific
terms of this Agreement to anyone except his immediate family, his attorney and accountant or financial advisor as reasonably necessary.

 

7.       Covenants.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the Employment Agreement, he is and remains bound by certain covenants
set forth in Section 7 of the Employment Agreement (the “Covenants”). Executive acknowledges that the
Covenants survive the termination of his employment and the termination of his service pursuant to the Employment Agreement
and this Agreement. The Parties agree that the Covenants are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein and a
breach of those provisions will also constitute a breach of this present Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or in the
Employment Agreement is intended to or will prohibit Employee from communicating with any Governmental Agency, or making a
report in good faith and with a reasonable belief of any violations of law or regulation to a Governmental Agency, or from
filing, testifying or participating in a legal proceeding relating to such violations, including making disclosures protected
or required by any whistleblower law or regulation to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Labor, or any
other appropriate government authority charged with the enforcement of any applicable laws. In the event Executive is
required by law to disclose any Confidential Information as defined in the Employment Agreement, Executive will not be in
violation of this Section of the Employment Agreement, provided that he (i) notifies the Company of the existence and terms
of such obligation, (ii) gives the Company a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective or similar order to prevent or limit
such disclosure, and (iii) only discloses that information actually required to be disclosed. Pursuant to the Federal Defend
Trade Secrets Act of 2016, an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade
secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state or local government
official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a
suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such
filing is made under seal.  An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected
violation of law may disclose the trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court
proceeding, if the individual (a) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (b) does not disclose the
trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

8.       Post-Employment
Cooperation. Executive agrees to fully cooperate with the Company in all matters relating to the winding up of his work, including
but not limited to, any current or future litigation in which the Company is or becomes involved; provided that, any such requested
cooperation will be reasonable and with due regard for Executive’s other commitments, and provided further that Executive
will be entitled to reimbursement of necessary and approved expenses in rendering such cooperation. In addition, Executive will
immediately return to the Company all personal property belonging to the Company that is in Executive’s possession or control,
including, without limitation, all records, papers, files, drawings, notes, specifications, marketing materials, software, reports,
proposals, equipment, or any other device, material, document or possession, however obtained. The return of Company property as
described in this Section is an express requirement under this Agreement and a condition to Executive’s receipt of the Severance
Benefits.

 

9.       No
Admissions/No Representations. Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set out in Section 4 of this
Agreement is a final compromise of any potential claims by Executive against the Company and the Company Releases. Executive further
understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set out in Section 4 of this Agreement in connection with his employment
by and service to the Company is not an admission by the Company or the Company Releases that any such claims exist or that the
Company or any of the Company Releases are liable for any such claims. The Parties each individually and independently acknowledge
that, except as expressly set forth herein, no representation of any kind or character has been made to induce the execution of
this Agreement. The Parties individually warrant for themselves that each is competent to execute this Agreement and accepts full
responsibility therefore. The Parties further agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to have been prepared by the Parties jointly,
and no ambiguity shall be resolved against any Party on the premise that it was responsible for drafting this Agreement, in whole
or in part.

 

10.       Non-Disparagement.
Executive agrees not to publicly or privately criticize, denigrate, or disparage or make any statements or remarks that have the
intended or foreseeable effect of harming the reputation of the Company and/or any of its present and former directors, officers,
partners, representatives, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, insurers, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors,
predecessors and assigns through any means of communication, including, but not limited to, print or broadcast media or any Internet
communication outlet; provided, however, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Executive from providing truthful information and/or
testimony in connection with any investigation or proceeding conducted by Governmental Agencies.

 

11.       Relief
and Enforcement. Executive understands and agrees that any breach of this Agreement by him will relieve the Company of
its obligation to provide the Severance Benefits. Executive also understands and agrees that if he violates the terms of
Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 10 of this Agreement, he will cause injury to the Company (and/or one or more of the Company
Releasees) that will be difficult to quantify or repair, so that the Company (and/or the Company Releasees) will have no
adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Executive agrees that if he violates Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 10 of this Agreement, the
Company (or the Company Releasees) will be entitled as a matter of right to obtain an injunction from a court of law,
restraining him from any further violation of this Agreement. The right to an injunction is in addition to and not in lieu of
any other remedies that the Company (or the Company Releasees) has at law or in equity.

12.       Voluntary
Execution. By signing below, Executive acknowledges that he has read the foregoing Agreement, that he understands its contents
and that he has relied upon or had the opportunity to seek the legal advice of his attorney, who is the attorney of his own choosing.

 

13.       Reservation
of Rights/Waiver. Both Parties reserve the right to sue for breach of contract in the event that there is a breach of the covenants
and/or obligations set forth herein. The failure of either Party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement
on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver thereof or deprive that Party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence
to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

 

14.       Choice
of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of California without regard for any
conflict of law principle that would dictate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

 

15.       Entire
Agreement/Severability. This Agreement (inclusive of the surviving provisions of the Employment Agreement) contains the entire,
final expression of the agreement and understanding by and between the Parties with respect to the matters herein referred to,
and it is a complete and exclusive statement of the terms thereof. This Agreement shall supersede all prior understandings, oral
and written, hereto before had between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No amendments, representations, promises,
agreements, or understandings, written or oral, not herein contained shall be valid or binding unless the same is in writing and
signed by both Parties. Should any provision of this Agreement be declared or be determined by any agency or court to be illegal
or invalid, the validity of the remaining parts, terms or provisions shall not be affected thereby and said illegal or invalid
part, term or provision shall be deemed not a part of this Agreement.

 

16.       Binding
Nature of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Executive, his heirs, administrators,
representatives, executors, successors and assigns and upon the successors and assigns of the Company.

 

17.       Headings.
The headings of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and are not binding on any interpretation of this Agreement.

 

18.       Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.

carefully read and/or had read to him and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement;

 

2.        knowingly

Agreement is neither effective nor enforceable and neither Party is obligated to perform the promises contained herein in the event
that the Agreement is revoked or until expiration of the seven (7) day revocation period, the “Effective Date”
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of the Executive’s
execution of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, result in the Executive designating the calendar year of payment of an amount
that is subject to Section 409A, and if a payment that is subject to execution of this Agreement and is subject to Section 409A
could be made in more than one taxable year, payment will be made in the later taxable year to the extent required to comply with

 Exhibit 10.1 

GLADSTONE LAND CORPORATION 

UP TO $30,000,000 OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK 

EQUITY DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT 

December 27, 2019 
 Virtu Americas LLC 

One Liberty Plaza 
 165 Broadway 

New York, NY 10006 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

GLADSTONE LAND CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and GLADSTONE LAND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware
limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), confirm their agreement (this “Agreement”) with Virtu Americas LLC (“Virtu”), as follows: 

1. Issuance and Sale of Shares. The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell through or to Virtu, acting as agent and/or principal, and pursuant to the Alternative Sales Agreements (as defined below), up to an aggregate of $30,000,000 of shares
(“Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company issue or sell through or to Virtu or pursuant to
the Alternative Sales Agreements such number or dollar amount of Shares that would (a) exceed the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock registered on the Registration Statement (defined below) pursuant to which the offering is being
made or (b) exceed the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (the “Maximum Amount”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the
limitation set forth in this Section 1 on the number of Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company, and Virtu shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The
issuance and sale of Shares through Virtu will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), although nothing in
this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement to issue Shares. The Company agrees that whenever it determines to sell Shares directly to Virtu as principal it will enter into a separate written
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to both the Company and Virtu containing the terms and conditions of such sale. Reference is made to the Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement
among the Company, the Operating Partnership and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (“Ladenburg”) and the Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement among the
Company, the Operating Partnership and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor” and, collectively with Ladenburg, the “Alternative Sales Agents”), each dated as August 7, 2015, as amended on
April 13, 2017 (collectively, the “Alternative Sales Agreements”). For the avoidance of doubt, the combined aggregate amount of Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement and Alterative Sales Agreements
shall not exceed $30,000,000. 
 The Company has filed, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (File
No. 333- 217042), which was declared effective by the Commission on April 12, 2017, including a base prospectus, relating to certain securities, including the shares of Common Stock to be issued from
time to time by the Company, and which incorporates by reference documents that the Company has filed or will file in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder
(collectively, the “Exchange Act”). The Company has prepared a prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Shares to the base prospectus included as part of such registration statement. “Prospectus
Supplement” shall refer to the most recent prospectus supplement relating to the Shares, filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in the form first furnished by the Company to Virtu for
use in connection with the offering of the Shares, including the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act at the Applicable Time. The Company will
furnish to Virtu, for use by Virtu, copies of the prospectus included as part of such registration statement, as supplemented 

 
by the Prospectus Supplement, relating to the Shares. Except where the context otherwise requires, such registration statement, on each date and time that such registration statement and any
post-effective amendment thereto became or becomes effective, including all schedules and documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, and including any information contained in a Prospectus (as defined below) subsequently
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or deemed to be a part of such registration statement pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 or Rule 430B of the Securities Act, is herein
called the “Registration Statement,” provided, however, that the “Registration Statement” without reference to a time means such registration statement as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto as of the
“new effective date” of the Registration Statement with respect to the Shares within the meaning of paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 430B, including the exhibits and schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference therein at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and the documents and information otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to Rule
430B. The base prospectus, including all documents incorporated herein by reference, included in the Registration Statement, as it may be supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form in which such prospectus and/or Prospectus Supplement
have most recently been filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, is herein called the “Prospectus.” The Company may file one or more additional registration statements,
including pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act (which shall be the Registration Statement) from time to time that will contain a base prospectus and related prospectus or prospectus supplement, if applicable (which shall be the Prospectus
Supplement), with respect to the Shares. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein, and any
reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing after the execution hereof of any
document with the Commission deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy

Placements. Each time that the Company wishes to issue and sell Shares hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it will notify Virtu by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) containing the
parameters in accordance with which it desires the Shares to be sold, which shall at a minimum include the number of Shares to be issued (the “Placement Shares”), the time period during which sales are requested to be made,
any limitation on the number of Shares that may be sold in any one day and the minimum price below which sales may not be made (a “Placement Notice”), a form of which containing such minimum sales parameters necessary is
attached hereto as Schedule 1. The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals from the Company set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Company
listed on such schedule), and shall be addressed to each of the individuals from Virtu set forth on Schedule 2, as such Schedule 2 may be amended from time to time. The Placement Notice shall be effective upon receipt by
Virtu unless and until (i) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, Virtu declines in writing by 9:30 a.m. (New York City Time) on the Business Day following (x) the Business Day on which
such Placement Notice is delivered, if such Placement Notice is delivered on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on such Business Day or the (y) the Business Day following the Business Day on which such Placement Notice is delivered, if
such Placement Notice is delivered after 5:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on such Business Day, to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion, (ii) the entire amount of the Placement Shares have been sold,
(iii) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, the Company suspends or terminates the Placement Notice, (iv) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters superseding
those on the earlier dated Placement Notice, or (v) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 11. The amount of any discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Company to Virtu
in connection with the sale of the Placement Shares shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 3. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor Virtu will have any obligation
whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Shares unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to Virtu and Virtu does not decline such Placement Notice pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms
specified therein and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice will control.

 3. Sale of Placement Shares by Virtu. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set
forth, upon the Company’s issuance of a Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Placement Shares described therein has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Virtu, for the period
specified in the Placement Notice, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market (the
“Exchange”), to sell such Placement Shares up to the amount specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. Virtu will provide written confirmation to the Company (including by email
correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 2, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) no later
than the opening of the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Placement Shares sold on such day, the prices at which such Placement
Shares were sold, the gross proceeds from such sales, the compensation payable by the Company to Virtu pursuant to Section 2 with respect to such sales, and the Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to the Company, with
an itemization of the deductions made by Virtu (as set forth in Section 5(a)) from the gross proceeds that it receives from such sales. With prior consent of the Company and subject to the terms of the Placement Notice,
Virtu may sell Placement Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, including without limitation sales made directly on the Exchange, on any other existing
trading market for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker. With prior consent of the Company and subject to the terms of the Placement Notice, Virtu may also sell Placement Shares by any other method permitted by law, including, but not
limited to, in privately negotiated transactions. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that Virtu will be successful in selling Placement Shares, and (ii) Virtu will incur no liability or obligation to the
Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure by Virtu to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Placement Shares
as required under this Section 3. For the purposes hereof, “Trading Day” means any day on which shares of Common Stock is purchased and sold on the principal market on which the Common Stock is
listed or quoted. 
 4. Suspension of Sales. The Company or Virtu may, upon notice to the other party in writing (including by email
correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 2, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) or by
telephone (confirmed immediately by verifiable facsimile transmission or email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 2), suspend any sale of Placement Shares; provided however, that such
suspension shall not affect or impair either party’s obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. Each of the parties agrees that no such notice under this
Section 4 shall be effective against the other unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Schedule 2, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time. 

5. Settlement. 
 (a)
Settlement of Placement Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Placement Shares will occur on the second (2nd) Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each, a “Settlement Date”). The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Company on a Settlement Date against receipt of
the Placement Shares sold (the “Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate sales price tendered to Virtu for the sale of Placement Shares, after deduction for (i) Virtu’s compensation for such sales payable by
the Company pursuant to Section 2 hereof, (ii) any other amounts due and payable by the Company to Virtu hereunder pursuant to Section 7(h) (Expenses) hereof, and (iii) any transaction
fees imposed in respect of such sales by any federal, state, local or foreign governmental or regulatory commission, board, authority, agency, court, administrative or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company (each, a
“Governmental Entity” and collectively, the “Governmental Entities”). 
 (b) Delivery of
Placement Shares. On or before each Settlement Date, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Placement Shares being sold by crediting Virtu’s or its designee’s account (provided Virtu shall
have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the
parties hereto which in all cases shall be freely 

  
 - 3 - 

 
tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form. On each Settlement Date, Virtu will deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated by the Company
on, or prior to, the Settlement Date. The Company agrees that if the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), defaults in its obligation to deliver Placement Shares on a Settlement Date, in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and
obligations set forth in Section 9(a) (Indemnification and Contribution) below, it will hold Virtu harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising
out of or in connection with such default by the Company; provided that under no circumstances will Virtu be entitled to any commission, discount, or other compensation to which it would otherwise have been entitled absent such default. 

(c) Limitations on Offering Size. Under no circumstances shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any Shares if, after
giving effect to the sale of such Placement Shares, the aggregate offering price of Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement and the Alternative Sales Agreements would exceed the lesser of (A) together with all sales of Shares under this
Agreement and the Alternative Sales Agreements, the Maximum Amount, (B) the amount available for offer and sale under the currently effective Registration Statement and (C) the amount authorized from time to time to be issued and sold
under this Agreement and the Alternative Sales Agreements by the Company’s board of directors, a duly authorized committee thereof or a duly authorized executive committee, and notified to Virtu in writing. Under no circumstances shall the
Company cause or request the offer or sale of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement at a price lower than the minimum price authorized from time to time by the Company’s board of directors, a duly authorized committee thereof or a duly
authorized executive committee, and notified to Virtu in writing. Under no circumstances shall the Company cause or permit the aggregate offering amount of Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement, the Alternative Sales Agreements or any separate
underwriting or similar agreement covering principal transactions described in Section 1 of this Agreement, to exceed the Maximum Amount. Further, under no circumstances shall the Company cause or permit the aggregate offering amount of Shares
sold pursuant to this Agreement and the Alternative Sales Agreements to exceed any applicable volume limitations set forth in the General Instructions to Form S-3.

and agree with Virtu that: 
 (a) Registration Statement Amendments; Payment of Fees. After the date of this Agreement and during any
period in which a Prospectus relating to any Placement Shares is required to be delivered by Virtu under the Securities Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act), (i) the
Company will notify Virtu promptly of the time when any subsequent amendment to the Registration Statement, other than documents incorporated by reference, has been filed with the Commission and/or has become effective or any subsequent supplement
to the Prospectus has been filed and of any comment letter from the Commission or any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) the Company will
prepare and file with the Commission, promptly upon Virtu’s request, any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that, in Virtu’s reasonable opinion, may be necessary or advisable in connection with the
distribution of the Placement Shares by Virtu (provided however, that the failure of Virtu to make such request shall not relieve the Company of any obligation or liability hereunder, or affect Virtu’s right to rely on the representations and
warranties made by the Company in this Agreement); (iii) the Company will not file any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, other than documents incorporated by reference, relating to the Placement Shares or a
security convertible into the Placement Shares unless a copy thereof has been submitted to Virtu within a reasonable period of time before the filing and Virtu has not reasonably objected in writing thereto (provided however, that (i) the
failure of Virtu to make such objection shall not relieve the Company of any obligation or liability hereunder, or affect Virtu’s right to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement, and (ii) the
Company has no obligation to provide Virtu any advance copy of such filing or to provide Virtu an opportunity to object to such filing if such filing does not name Virtu or specifically discuss the Placement Shares as contemplated hereby) and the

 (b) Notice of Commission Stop Orders. Promptly after it receives notice or obtains
knowledge thereof, the Company will advise Virtu of the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any other order preventing or suspending the use of the
Prospectus, of the suspension of the qualification of the Placement Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose or any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the
Securities Act, or if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the Securities Act in connection with the offering of the Shares; and it will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of
any stop or other order or to obtain its withdrawal if such a stop or other order should be issued.

Subsequent Changes. During any period in which a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by Virtu under the Securities Act with respect to a pending sale of the Placement Shares, (including in circumstances where
such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act), the Company will comply in all material respects with the requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act, as from time to time in force, and to file on or before
their respective due dates all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, 15(d) or any other provision of or under the Exchange Act. If
during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Company will promptly notify Virtu to suspend the
offering of Placement Shares during such period and the Company will promptly amend or supplement, or file a free writing prospectus applicable to, the Registration Statement or Prospectus (at the expense of the Company) so as to correct such
statement or omission or effect such compliance. 
 (d) Listing of Placement Shares. During any period in which the Prospectus
relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by Virtu under the Securities Act with respect to a pending sale of the Placement Shares (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the
Securities Act), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Placement Shares to be listed on the Exchange and will cooperate with Virtu to qualify the Placement Shares for sale under the securities laws of such
jurisdictions in the United States as Virtu reasonably designates and to continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Placement Shares; provided however, that the Company shall not be required in connection
therewith to qualify as a foreign entity or dealer in securities or file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

period in which a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (including all documents filed with the Commission during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), in
each case as soon as reasonably practicable and in such quantities as Virtu may from time to time reasonably request and, at Virtu’s request, will also furnish copies of the Prospectus to each exchange or market on which sales of the Placement
Shares may be made; provided however, that the Company shall not be required to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus) to Virtu to the extent such document is available to Virtu or the public on EDGAR.

sell any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, whether through any agent or otherwise. If notice of a proposed transaction is provided by the Company, Virtu may suspend
activity of the transactions contemplated by any Placement Notice for such period of time as may be requested by the Company or as may be deemed appropriate by Virtu. This provision shall not apply to (i) the Shares of Common Stock to be

 (k) Change of Circumstances. The Company
will, at any time during a fiscal quarter in which the Company tenders a Placement Notice, or sells Placement Shares, advise Virtu as promptly as reasonably practicable prior to the delivery of such Placement Notice, of any information or fact that
would alter or affect in any material respect any opinion, certificate, letter or other document provided to Virtu pursuant to this Agreement.

of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144) under the Exchange Act (each date of filing of one or more of the documents referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) shall be a “Representation Date”); the Company and the
Operating Partnership shall furnish Virtu with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(n) within three (3) Trading Days of any Representation Date if reasonably requested by Virtu. The requirement to provide a certificate
under this Section 7(n) is hereby waived for any Representation Date occurring at a time at which no Placement Notice is pending, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Company delivers a
Placement Notice hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date) and the next occurring Representation Date; provided however, that such waiver shall not apply for any Representation Date on which the Company
files its annual report on Form 10-K. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Placement Shares following a Representation Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did
not provide Virtu with a certificate under this Section 7(n), then before the Company delivers the Placement Notice or Virtu sells any Placement Shares, the Company and the Operating Partnership shall provide Virtu with a
certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(n), dated the date of the Placement Notice. 
 (o) Legal Opinion. On or
prior to the date that the first Shares are sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and within three (3) Trading Days of each Representation Date with respect to which the Company and the Operating Partnership are obligated to deliver a
certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(n) for which no waiver is applicable, the Company shall cause to be furnished to Virtu written opinions of Bass, Berry & Sims PLC and Venable LLP (“Company
Counsel”), or other counsel satisfactory to Virtu, in form and substance satisfactory to Virtu and its counsel, dated the date that the opinion is required to be delivered; provided however, that in lieu of such opinions for subsequent
Representation Dates, counsel may furnish Virtu with a letter (a “Reliance Letter”) to the effect that Virtu may rely on a prior opinion delivered under this Section 7(o) to the same extent as if it
were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented at such Representation Date). 

(p) Comfort Letter. On or prior to the date that the first Shares are sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and within three
(3) Trading Days of each Representation Date with respect to which the Company and the Operating Partnership are obligated to deliver a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(n) for which no waiver is applicable, the
Company shall cause its independent accountants (and any other independent accountants whose report is included in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus) to furnish Virtu letters (the “Comfort Letters”), dated the date

(ii) stating, as of such date, the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters in connection with
registered public offerings (the first such letter, the “Initial Comfort Letter”) and (iii) updating the Initial Comfort Letter with any information that would have been included in the Initial Comfort Letter had it been
given on such date and modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter.

in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. 

  
 - 15 - 

 (r) Insurance. The Company and the subsidiaries shall maintain, or caused to be
maintained, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as is commercially reasonable and customary for companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries, including but not limited to, policies covering real and personal property
owned or leased by the Company and its subsidiaries against theft, damage, destruction, acts of vandalism and earthquakes. The Company has no reason to believe that it or any or its subsidiaries will not be able (i) to renew its existing
insurance coverage as and when policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 (s) Compliance with Laws. The Company and each of its subsidiaries shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, all material
environmental permits, licenses and other authorizations required by federal, state and local law in order to conduct their businesses as described in the Prospectus, and the Company and each of its subsidiaries shall conduct their businesses, or
cause their businesses to be conducted, in substantial compliance with such permits, licenses and authorizations and with applicable environmental laws, except where the failure to maintain or be in compliance with such permits, licenses and
authorizations could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

that include any portion of the term of this Agreement. 
 (u) Investment Company Act. The Company is familiar with the 1940 Act and
will in the future use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Company and the Operating Partnership will not be an “investment company” within the meaning of the 1940 Act.

by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of, or dealings in, the Placement Shares as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus. 

(w) No Offer to Sell. Other than a free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) approved in advance in
writing by the Company and Virtu in its capacity as principal or agent hereunder, neither Virtu nor the Company (including its agents and representatives, other than Virtu in its capacity as such) will, directly or indirectly, make, use, prepare,
authorize, approve or refer to any free writing prospectus relating to the Shares to be sold by Virtu as principal or agent hereunder. 

(x) Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company and the subsidiaries will use their best efforts to comply with all effective applicable provisions
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

hereunder, to the completion by Virtu of a due diligence review satisfactory to Virtu in its reasonable judgment, and to the continuing satisfaction (or waiver by Virtu in its sole discretion) of the following additional conditions: 

(a) Registration Statement Effective. The Registration Statement shall be effective and shall be available for (i) all sales of
Placement Shares issued pursuant to all prior Placement Notices and (ii) the sale of all Placement Shares contemplated to be issued by any Placement Notice. 

  
 - 16 - 

 (b) No Material Notices. None of the following events shall have occurred and be
continuing: (i) receipt by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any request for additional information from the Commission or any other Governmental Entity during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the response to
which would require any post-effective amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other Governmental Entity of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Placement Shares
for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any material statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any material document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related Prospectus or such documents so that, in the case of the Registration
Statement, it will not contain any materially untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, that in the case of the Prospectus, it
will not contain any materially untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. 
 (c) No Misstatement or Material Omission. The Registration Statement and Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement
thereto, shall not contain any material untrue statement of fact, or omit to state a material fact that is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

to result in a Material Adverse Change, or any downgrading in or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any of the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s securities (other than asset backed securities) by any rating organization or a
public announcement by any rating organization that it has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s securities (other than asset backed securities), the effect of which, in the case of
any such action by a rating organization described above, in the reasonable judgment of Virtu (without relieving the Company or the Operating Partnership of any obligation or liability it may otherwise have), is so material as to make it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Placement Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus. 

(e) Company Counsel Legal Opinion. Virtu shall have received the opinions of Company Counsel required to be delivered pursuant
Section 7(o) on or before the date on which such delivery of such opinion is required pursuant to Section 7(o).

(a) Company and Operating Partnership Indemnification. The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, agree to
indemnify and hold harmless Virtu, the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of Virtu and each person, if any, who (i) controls Virtu within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act, or (ii) is controlled by or is under common control with Virtu (a “Virtu Affiliate”) from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including, but not limited to, any and all
reasonable investigative expenses by any Governmental Entity, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any and all amounts paid in settlement (in accordance with Section 9(c)) of, any action, suit or
proceeding between any of the indemnified parties and any indemnifying parties or between any indemnified party and any third party, or otherwise, or any claim asserted), as and when incurred, to which Virtu, or any such person, may become subject
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based, directly or indirectly, on
(x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any Free Writing Prospectus
approved by the Company in accordance with Section 7(w) hereof, or in any application or other document executed by or on behalf of the Company or the Operating Partnership or based on written information furnished by or on
behalf of the Company or the Operating Partnership filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Shares under the securities laws thereof or filed with the Commission or (y) the omission or alleged omission to state in any such document a
material fact required to be stated in it or necessary to make the statements in it not misleading; provided however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to the extent that such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage arises from the
sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and is caused directly or indirectly by an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to Virtu furnished to the Company in writing by Virtu
expressly for inclusion therein, which information initially consists solely of the information specified in Section 9(e) hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company or the
Operating Partnership might otherwise have. 
 (b) Virtu Indemnification. Virtu agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
its directors, each officer of the Company that signed the Registration Statement, the Operating Partnership and each person, if any, who (i) controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or (ii) is controlled by or is under common control with the 

  
 - 18 - 

 
Company or the Operating Partnership (a “Company Affiliate”) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in
Section 9(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendments thereto) or the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to Virtu furnished to the Company in writing by Virtu expressly for inclusion therein, which information initially is limited to the information
specified in Section 9(e) hereof, or with respect to statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in any Free Writing Prospectus used by Virtu and not previously approved by the Company in
accordance with Section 7(w) hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that Virtu might otherwise have. 

(c) Procedure. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 9 will,
promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 9, notify each such indemnifying party
of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission to so notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from (i) any liability that it might have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 9 and (ii) any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provision of this Section 9 unless, and only to the extent that, such
omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the
defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by
the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that
are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in
which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iv) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a
reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the
indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in
such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. An indemnifying party will not, in any event, be
liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any
pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 9 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an
unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding. 
 (d)
Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 9 is applicable in accordance with its
terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable from the Company, the Operating Partnership or Virtu, the Company and Virtu will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and
other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company or the Operating Partnership from persons
other than Virtu, such as persons who control the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the Company, who also may be liable for
contribution) to which the 

  
 - 19 - 

 
Company, the Operating Partnership and Virtu may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on
the one hand, and Virtu, on the other. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand and Virtu on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of
the Placement Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total compensation received by Virtu from the sale of Placement Shares on behalf of the Company. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence
is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company and the
Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and Virtu, on the other, with respect to the statements or omission that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company or the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, or Virtu, on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement
or omission. The Company and the Operating Partnership and Virtu agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 9(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other
method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage, or action in respect thereof,
referred to above in this Section 9(d) shall be deemed to include, for the purpose of this Section 9(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with Section 9(c) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(d), Virtu shall not be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the commissions received by it under this Agreement and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9(d), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any officers, directors,
partners, employees or agents of Virtu, will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to
the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 9(d),
will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this
Section 9(d) except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution is sought. Except for a settlement entered into
pursuant to the last sentence of Section 9(c) hereof, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to
Section 9(c) hereof. 
 (e) The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information that Virtu has furnished to
the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) as of the date hereof is Virtu’s name and the information in paragraphs nine and ten under the
caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus, which information may be updated from time to time in the future. 
 10.
Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 9 of this Agreement and all representations and warranties of the Company and the Operating
Partnership of Section 6 herein shall survive, as of their respective dates, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of Virtu, any controlling persons, or the Company or the Operating Partnership (or
any of their respective officers, directors or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement. 

  
 - 20 - 

 11. Termination. 

(a) Virtu shall have the right by giving notice as hereinafter specified at any time to terminate this Agreement if (i) any Material
Adverse Change, or any development that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change has occurred, that, in the reasonable judgment of Virtu, may materially impair the ability of Virtu to sell the Placement Shares hereunder;
(ii) the Company or the Operating Partnership shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform any agreement on its part to be performed hereunder; provided however, in the case of any failure of the Company to deliver (or cause another
person to deliver) any certification, opinion, or letter required under Sections 7(n), 7(o), or 7(p), Virtu’s right to terminate shall not arise unless such failure to deliver (or cause to be delivered) continues for more
than thirty (30) days from the date such delivery was required; or (iii) any other condition of Virtu’s obligations hereunder is not fulfilled; or (iv), any suspension or limitation of trading in the Placement Shares or in securities
generally on the Exchange shall have occurred. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(h) (Expenses), Section 9
(Indemnification and Contribution), Section 10 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery), Section 16 (Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction) and Section 17
(Waiver of Jury Trial) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. 
 (b) The Company and the Operating
Partnership shall have the right, by giving ten (10) days’ notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in their sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability
of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(h), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and
Section 17 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. 
 (c) Virtu shall have
the right, by giving ten (10) days’ notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other
party except that the provisions of Section 7(h), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 17 hereof shall remain
in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. 
 (d) Unless earlier terminated pursuant to this
Section 11, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the issuance and sale of all of the Placement Shares through Virtu on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. 

(e) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 11(a), (b), (c), or
(d) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided however, that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 7(h),
Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 17 shall remain in full force and effect. 

(f) Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided however, that such
termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by Virtu or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such
Placement Shares shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 
 12. Notices. All notices or other
communications required or permitted to be given by any party to any other party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, and if sent to Virtu, shall be delivered to Virtu Capital

 13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Company, the Operating Partnership and Virtu and their respective successors and the affiliates, controlling persons, officers and directors referred to in Section 9 hereof. References to any of the parties
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective
successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without
the prior written consent of the other party; provided however, that Virtu may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to an affiliate of Virtu without obtaining the Company’s consent. 

14. Adjustments for Share Splits. The parties acknowledge and agree that all share-related numbers contained in this Agreement shall be
adjusted to take into account any share split, share dividend or similar event effected with respect to the Shares. 
 15. Entire
Agreement; Amendment; Severability. This Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits attached hereto and Placement Notices issued pursuant hereto) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements
and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Company and Virtu. In the
event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable as written by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision shall be given full force
and effect to the fullest possible extent that it is valid, legal and enforceable, and the remainder of the terms and provisions herein shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision was not contained herein, but
only to the extent that giving effect to such provision and the remainder of the terms and provisions hereof shall be in accordance with the intent of the parties as reflected in this Agreement. 

16. Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws
of the State of New York (except Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law) without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws. Each party
hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in
connection with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action
or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of
process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. 

17. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company, the Operating Partnership and Virtu each hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to a
trial by jury in respect of any claim based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. 
 18. Absence
of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company and the Operating Partnership jointly and severally acknowledge and agree that: 
 (a) Virtu is
acting solely as agent in connection with the public offering of the Shares and in connection with each transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the process leading to such transactions, and no fiduciary or advisory relationship between the
Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their respective affiliates, shareholders (or other equity holders), creditors or employees or any other party, on the one hand, and Virtu, on the other hand, has been or will be created in respect of any
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether Virtu has advised or is advising the Company or the Operating Partnership on other matters, and Virtu has no obligation to the Company or the Operating Partnership with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; 

  
 - 22 - 

 (b) each of the Company and the Operating Partnership is capable of evaluating and
understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; 
 (c) neither
Virtu nor any of its affiliates has provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and it has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it
has deemed appropriate;

in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company or the Operating Partnership and that Virtu has no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company or the Operating Partnership
by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and 
 (e) each of the Company and the Operating Partnership waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against Virtu or its affiliates, for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that Virtu and its affiliates shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect)
to the Company or the Operating Partnership in respect of such a fiduciary claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company or the Operating Partnership, including shareholders, partners, employees or
creditors of the Company or the Operating Partnership. 
 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed Agreement by one party to the other may be made by facsimile or electronic transmission.

 [NAME], the duly
qualified and elected                 , of GLADSTONE LAND CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation (“Company”), does hereby certify in such
capacity and on behalf of the Company and of GLADSTONE LAND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership and the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), as applicable, pursuant to
Section 7(n) of the Equity Distribution Agreement dated December 27, 2019 (the “Sales Agreement”) among the Company, the Operating Partnership and Virtu Americas LLC
(“Virtu”), that to the best of his or her knowledge:
