Agreements or, if it does in the future, as to the price or amount of Shares that it sells or the dates when such sales will take place,
except as otherwise provided in the Sales Agreements. The timing and amount of any sales in the future will be determined by a variety
of factors considered by the Company.</p>

Company (if acting as the Company&#8217;s sales agents) and the Shares borrowed by the relevant Forward Purchasers pursuant to the
relevant Sales Agreements (if acting as Forward Sellers). Sales, if any, of the Shares made through the Sales Agents, as the

transactions (as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline">Securities Act</span>&#8221;)),

also may sell Shares to any Sales Agent as principal for its own account. If the Company sells Shares to any Sales Agent as principal,
it will enter into a separate terms agreement (each, a &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline">Terms Agreement</span>&#8221;, and collectively, the &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline">Terms Agreements</span>&#8221;)

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Sales Agreements contemplate that, in addition
to the issuance and sale by the Company of Shares to or through the Sales Agents as the Company&#8217;s sales agents or as principals,
the Company may enter into separate forward sale agreements (each, together with any related pricing supplement, a &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline">Forward Sale
Agreement</span>&#8221; and collectively, the &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline">Forward Sale Agreements</span>&#8221;), with any of Barclays Bank PLC, Royal Bank of

and collectively, the &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline">Forward Purchasers</span>&#8221;). If the Company enters into a Forward Sale Agreement with any Forward Purchaser,
the Company expects that such Forward Purchaser, acting in accordance with the mutually accepted instructions related to such Forward
Sale Agreement, will attempt to borrow and sell, through the relevant Sales Agent, acting as sales agent for such Forward Purchaser, Shares
to hedge such Forward Purchaser&#8217;s exposure under such Forward Sale Agreement. In this Current Report, a Sales Agent, when acting
as sales agent for the relevant Forward Purchaser, is referred to as, individually, a &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline">Forward Seller</span>&#8221; and collectively,
the &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline">Forward Sellers</span>&#8221;. Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, references herein to the

that is acting as Forward Purchaser or, if applicable, such Sales Agent acting in its capacity as Forward Purchaser.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 36.2pt">The net proceeds the Company will receive from the
sale of Shares through a Sales Agent on its behalf pursuant to one or more of the separate Sales Agreements or to a Sales Agent acting
as a principal will be the gross proceeds received from such sales less the compensation paid to the Sales Agents and any other costs
the Company may incur in issuing and/or selling the Shares; <i>provided</i>, <i>however</i>, that the Company will not initially receive
any proceeds from any sale of Shares borrowed by a Forward Purchaser and sold through a Forward Seller. The Company expects to fully physically
settle each Forward Sale Agreement, if any, with the relevant Forward Purchaser on one or more dates specified by the Company on or prior
to the maturity date of such Forward Sale Agreement, in which case the Company expects to receive, subject to certain adjustments, aggregate
net cash proceeds at settlement equal to the number of shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock underlying such Forward Sale Agreement
multiplied by the then-applicable forward price per share. If the Company elects to cash settle any Forward Sale Agreement, the Company
may not receive any proceeds and the Company may owe cash (in the case of cash settlement) or shares of its common stock (in the case
of net share settlement) to the relevant Forward Purchaser. If the Company elects to net share settle any Forward Sale Agreement, the
Company will not receive any cash proceeds, and the Company may owe Shares to the relevant Forward Purchaser.</p>

indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then the Company shall
