will not be integrated successfully with Public Storage&#8217;s or that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly
than expected; (iv) significant transaction costs and/or unknown or inestimable liabilities; (v)&#160;potential litigation relating to
the proposed transaction that could be instituted against NSA or its trustees, managers or officers, including resulting expense or delay
and the effects of any outcomes related thereto; (vi)&#160;the risk that disruptions from the proposed transaction, including diverting
the attention of NSA and Public Storage management from ongoing business operations, will harm NSA&#8217;s and Public Storage&#8217;s
businesses during the pendency of the proposed transaction or otherwise; (vii)&#160;certain restrictions during the pendency of the business
combination that may impact NSA&#8217;s and Public Storage&#8217;s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions;
(viii)&#160;the possibility that the business combination may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of
unexpected factors or events; (ix) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of
the merger agreement, including in circumstances requiring NSA to pay a termination fee; (x)&#160;the effect of the announcement of the
proposed transaction on the ability of NSA and Public Storage to operate their respective businesses and retain and hire key personnel,
and to maintain favorable business relationships; (xi) risks related to the market value of Public Storage common stock to be issued in
the proposed transaction; (xii) other risks related to the completion of the proposed transaction and actions related thereto; (xiii)&#160;potential
business uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships, during the pendency of the business combination or otherwise

severity of local, regional, national and international economic, political and catastrophic climates, conditions and events, including
but not limited to acts of terrorism, outbreaks of war or hostilities or pandemics, as well as management&#8217;s response to any of the
aforementioned factors; (xvii) changes in global financial markets, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; (xviii) increased
or unanticipated competition affecting NSA&#8217;s or Public Storage&#8217;s properties; (xix) risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions
and development of properties, including increased development costs due to additional regulatory requirements related to climate change;
(xx) maintenance of Real Estate Investment Trust status, tax structuring and changes in income tax laws and rates; (xxi) risks related
to NSA&#8217;s and Public Storage&#8217;s investments in ventures, including NSA&#8217;s and Public Storage&#8217;s respective abilities
to establish new ventures; (xxii) environmental uncertainties, including risks of natural disasters; (xxiii) those risks and uncertainties
set forth in NSA&#8217;s and Public Storage&#8217;s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 under the headings
&#8220;Forward-Looking Statements&#8221; and &#8220;Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,&#8221; respectively, and
&#8220;Risk Factors,&#8221; as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports filed by
NSA or Public Storage, as the case may be, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;) from time to time, which
are available via the SEC&#8217;s website at www.sec.gov; and (xxiv) those risks that will be described in the Registration Statement
and Proxy Statement/Prospectus that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction and available from the sources
indicated below. There can be no assurance that the proposed transaction will be completed, or if it is completed, that it will close
within the anticipated time period. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. Neither
NSA nor Public Storage undertakes any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement except as required by law,
whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize,
or if NSA&#8217;s and Public Storage&#8217;s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, NSA&#8217;s, Public Storage&#8217;s and the
combined company&#8217;s actual results may vary materially from what NSA or Public Storage may have expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. NSA and Public Storage caution not to place undue reliance on any of NSA&#8217;s or Public Storage&#8217;s forward-looking
statements. Furthermore, new risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict those events or how
they may affect NSA or Public Storage.</p>

and describing the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal or Intervening Event that is the basis of such action, as applicable,
including, if applicable, copies of any written proposals or offers and any proposed written agreements related to a Superior Proposal
(it being agreed that the delivery of the Notice of Change of Recommendation by the Company shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation
Change); (ii)&nbsp;during the four (4)&nbsp;Business Day period following Parent&rsquo;s receipt of the Notice of Change of Recommendation
and ending at 11:59 p.m.&nbsp;(New York City time) on such fourth (4th) Business Day (a &ldquo;<U>Notice of Change Period</U>&rdquo;),
the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate)
to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, so that, in the case of a Superior Proposal, such Superior Proposal
ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, or, in the case of an Intervening Event, the need to make such Adverse Recommendation Change
is obviated; and (iii)&nbsp;following the end of the Notice of Change Period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, taking
into account any changes to this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent in response to the Notice of Change of Recommendation or otherwise,
(A)&nbsp;that, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Notice of
Change of Recommendation continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the failure
to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the duties of the trustees of the Company under applicable Law,
or (B)&nbsp;in the case of an Intervening Event, that, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the failure of the Company Board
to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the duties of the trustees of the Company
under applicable Law. Any amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such Superior Proposal shall require a new
Notice of Change of Recommendation, and the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this&nbsp;Section&nbsp;5.7(e);&nbsp;<U>provided</U>,&nbsp;<U>however</U>,
that the Notice of Change Period shall be reduced to three (3)&nbsp;Business Days following receipt by Parent of any such new Notice of
Change of Recommendation and ending at 11:59 p.m.&nbsp;(New York City time) on such third (3rd) Business Day.</P>

any such action that could adversely affect the classification of the Company, or any Company Subsidiary that is classified as a REIT,
as a REIT or could subject the Company or any such Subsidiary to any &ldquo;prohibited transactions&rdquo; Taxes or other material Taxes
under Code Sections 857(b), 860(c)&nbsp;or 4981 (or other material entity-level Taxes), (v)&nbsp;neither the Company nor any Company

Parent Parties in accordance with this Section&nbsp;5.20 or (D)&nbsp;take any action that would materially delay the Closing, including
any adverse effect on the ability of the Company Parties and the Parent Parties to satisfy all conditions precedent to their respective
obligations under this Agreement and to otherwise consummate the Mergers, or cause a breach of this Agreement. Such actions or transactions

out-of-pocket costs or security deposits incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries at Parent&rsquo;s direction in connection with
any actions taken by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries in accordance with this Section&nbsp;5.20; <U>provided</U> that the Company
shall promptly return to Parent any such amounts that are refunded to the Company or any Company Subsidiary. The consummation of any
Parent-Approved Transaction shall not constitute consummation of a Company Acquisition Proposal for purposes of Section&nbsp;7.3(b)(iii),
nor shall any acquisition proposal made in respect of a Parent-Approved Transaction constitute a Company Acquisition Proposal for purposes
of Section&nbsp;7.3(b)(iii). Parent shall indemnify the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for any and all Losses suffered or incurred
by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to the extent arising from a Parent-Approved Transaction (and in the event the Mergers
and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, Parent shall promptly reimburse the Company for any reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in connection with any Parent-Approved Transaction
not previously reimbursed), other than any such Losses that result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or bad faith
by the Company or any Company Subsidiary (or, in each case, their respective Representatives) or from their failure to comply with any
instructions of Parent with respect to any such actions.</FONT></P>
