Ladies and Gentlemen:
W. P. Carey Inc., a Maryland

€600,000,000 principal amount of its 3.700% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be issued pursuant
to an Indenture, dated as of March 14, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company,
National Association, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as
amended by the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture thereto, to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Supplemental

The Company, U.S. Bank Europe

Bank SA/NV, as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”). The Global Note will be issued under the New Safekeeping

policy operations. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company will enter into an international central securities depositaries
agreement, to be dated on or around the Closing Date (the “ICSD Agreement”), with Euroclear and Clearstream. The Notes
will be issued in denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.
The Company hereby confirms its agreement with
the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the Notes, as follows:
1. Registration
Statement. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities
Act”), an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-264613), including a prospectus (the “Base
Prospectus”), relating to the public offering and sale of the Company’s securities, including to the Notes. Such registration
statement, in the form in which it became effective under the Securities Act, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A,
430B or 430C under the Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (“Rule 430
Information”), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; the term “Preliminary Prospectus”
means the preliminary prospectus supplement dated November 12, 2024 relating to the Notes, together with the Base Prospectus; and
the term “Prospectus” means the Base Prospectus and the prospectus supplement relating to the Notes in the form first
used by the Underwriters (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection
with confirmation of sales of the Notes. Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12
of Form S-3 under the Securities Act as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus
or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference to “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement”
with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any
documents filed after such date under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.
At or prior to 5:30 P.M.,
London time on November 12, 2024 which is the time when sales of the Notes were first made (the “Time of Sale”),
the Company has prepared the following information (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”): the Preliminary
Prospectus and each “free-writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) listed in Annex A
hereto.
2. Purchase
of the Notes by the Underwriters.
(a) The
Company agrees to issue and sell the Notes to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and each Underwriter, on the basis
of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally
and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite such Underwriter’s
name in Schedule 1 hereto at a price equal to 98.305% of the principal amount of the Notes. The Company will not be obligated to
deliver any of the Notes except upon payment for all the Notes to be purchased as provided herein.
(b) The
Company understands that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Notes as soon after the effectiveness of this Agreement
as in the judgment of the Representatives is advisable, and initially to offer the Notes on the terms set forth in the Time of Sale Information.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and sell Notes to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter and
that any such affiliate may offer and sell Notes purchased by it to or through any Underwriter.
(c) Payment
for and delivery of the Notes will be made at the offices of Sidley Austin llp at 10:00 A.M.,
London time, on November 19, 2024 or at such other time or place on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business
day thereafter (subject to Section 10 herein), as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon in writing. The time and date
of such payment and delivery is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”
(d) Against
the delivery of the duly executed and authenticated Notes, payment for the Notes shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available
funds to the order of the Company. It is understood that the Representatives have been authorized, for their own account and the accounts
of the several Underwriters, to accept delivery of and receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Notes the Underwriters
have agreed to purchase. Either Barclays Bank PLC, BNP PARIBAS or J.P. Morgan Securities plc, individually and not as the Representative
of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment for the Notes, if any, to be purchased by any Underwriter whose
funds shall not have been received by the Representatives by the Closing Date, for the account of such Underwriter, but any such payment
shall not relieve such Underwriter from any of its obligations under this Agreement.
Barclays Bank PLC or such
other Representative as the Representatives may agree to settle the Notes (the “Settlement Bank”) acknowledges that
the Notes represented by the Global Note will initially be credited to an account (the “Commissionaire Account”) for
the benefit of the Settlement Bank the terms of which include a third-party beneficiary clause (‘stipulation pour autrui’)
with the Company as the third-party beneficiary and provide that such Notes are to be delivered to others only against payment of the
net subscription monies for the Notes ((i.e. less the commissions to be deducted from the subscription monies) with any transfer taxes
payable in connection with the sale of the Notes duly paid, without duplication, by the Company) into the Commissionaire Account on a
delivery against payment basis. The Settlement Bank acknowledges that (i) the Notes represented by the Global Note shall be held
to the order of the Company as set out above and (ii) the net subscription monies for the Notes received in the Commissionaire Account
(i.e. less the commissions deducted from the subscription monies) will be held on behalf of the Company until such time as they are transferred
to the Company’s order. The Settlement Bank undertakes that the net subscription monies for the Notes (i.e. less the commissions
deducted from the subscription monies) will be transferred to the Company’s order promptly following receipt of such monies in
the Commissionaire Account. The Company acknowledges and accepts the benefit of the third-party beneficiary clause (‘stipulation
pour autrui’) pursuant to the Belgium and/or Luxembourg Civil Code, as applicable, in respect of the Commissionaire Account.
The Company shall deliver,
or cause to be delivered, to the Underwriters the Notes at the Closing Date, against the irrevocable release of a wire transfer of immediately
available funds for the amount of the purchase price therefor. The Notes shall be in such denominations and registered in such names
and denominations as the Representatives shall have requested at least two full business days prior to the Closing Date, and shall be
made available for inspection on the business day preceding the Closing Date, at a location in New York City or London, as the Representatives
may designate. The Notes shall be delivered to the CSK unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct. Time shall be of the essence,
and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a further condition to the obligations of the Underwriters.
(e) The
Company acknowledges and agrees that each Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty
to the Company with respect to the offering of the Notes contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of such
offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, neither the
Representatives nor any other Underwriter are advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or
regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible
for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Representatives nor
any other Underwriter shall have any responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Representatives
or any other Underwriter of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be
performed solely for the benefit of the Representatives or such Underwriter and shall not be on behalf of the Company or any other person.

Statement or the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and,
subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representatives
may designate, such amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any document to be filed with the Commission
and incorporated by reference therein) as may be necessary so that the statements in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as
so amended or supplemented (including such documents to be incorporated by reference) will not, in light of the circumstances existing
when it is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus will comply with law.
(g) Blue
Sky Compliance. The Company will furnish such information as may be required and otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cooperate in qualifying the Notes for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives
shall reasonably request and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required
for distribution of the Notes; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or
other entity, or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) file
any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction
if it is not otherwise so subject.
(h) Earnings
Statement. The Company will make generally available to its security holders and the Representatives (including, but not limited
to, via public filing with the Commission) as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement that satisfies the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder covering a period of at least
twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the “effective date” (as defined in
Rule 158) of the Registration Statement.
(i) Clear
Market. During the period from the date hereof through and including the date that is one day after the Closing Date, the Company
will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities
of the Company having a tenor of more than one year or guarantee any debt securities having a tenor of more than one year.
(j) Use
of Proceeds. The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes as described in each of the Registration Statement,
the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under the section “Use of proceeds.” The Company represents and covenants
that, regardless of Sanctions, they will not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the transaction, or lend, contribute or otherwise
make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person, to fund any activities of or business in or involving
Cuba or Iran.
(k) Clearance
and Settlement. The Company will assist the Underwriters in arranging for the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through
the facilities of Clearstream and Euroclear.
(l) Listing.
The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Notes to be listed on the Official List of Euronext Dublin and
admitted to trading on the GEM as of the Closing Date, and, upon such listing, will use its best efforts to maintain such listing and
satisfy the requirements for such continued listing.
(m) Stabilization.
The Company hereby confirms the appointment of Barclays Bank PLC in its role as stabilization manager (the “Stabilizing
Manager”) (or any person acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager) to over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view
to supporting the market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail.
In connection with the issue
of the Notes, the Stabilizing Manager (or any person acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager) may over-allot Notes or effect transactions
with a view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilization
may not necessarily occur. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the final terms
of the offer of the Notes is made, and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the
issue of the Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the Notes. Such stabilization shall be carried out in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations. Any loss or profit sustained as a consequence of any such over-allotment or stabilization shall be for
the account of the Stabilizing Manager. The Stabilizing Manager may conduct these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
If the Stabilizing Manager commences any stabilization action, it may discontinue them at any time. Nothing contained in this paragraph
shall be construed so as to require the Company to issue in excess of €600,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Company
will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would reasonably be expected to cause or result in any stabilization
or manipulation of the price of the Notes.
The Company confirms the
appointment of the Stabilizing Manager as the central point responsible for adequate public disclosure of information, and handling any
request from a competent authority, in accordance with Article 6(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8
March 2016 with regard to regulatory technical standards for the conditions applicable to buy-back programs and stabilization measures,
including as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom.
(n) Record
Retention. The Company will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus that is not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 under the Securities Act.
(o) REIT
Qualification. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue to meet the requirements for qualification as
a REIT under the Code for each of its taxable years, for so long as the Board of Directors of the Company deems it in the best interests
of the Company to remain so qualified.
5. Certain
Agreements of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter, severally and
not jointly, hereby represents and agrees that:
(a) It
has not used, authorized use of, referred to or participated in the planning for use of, and will not use, authorize use of, refer to,

Act (which term includes use of any written information furnished to the Commission by the Company and not incorporated by reference
into the Registration Statement and any press release issued by the Company) other than (i) a free writing prospectus that, solely
as a result of use by such Underwriter, would not trigger an obligation to file such free writing prospectus with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 433, (ii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed in Annex A or prepared pursuant to Section 3(c) or
Section 4(c) above (including any electronic road show), or (iii) any free writing prospectus prepared by such Underwriter

to in Annex A hereto without the consent of the Company.

with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Representatives. The Company shall have paid the required Commission filing fees relating

or preferred stock issued or guaranteed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than an announcement with positive implications
of a possible upgrading.
(d) No
Material Adverse Change. No event or condition of a type described in Section 3(g) hereof shall have occurred or shall
exist, which event or condition is not described in each of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus,

7. Indemnification
and Contribution.
(a) Indemnification
of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and
each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and
other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred),
joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any Rule 430 Information deemed to be a part thereof,
or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information (or any amendment or
supplement thereto), or any road show as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act, or caused by any omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon,
any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information
relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.
(b) Indemnification
of the Company. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and
officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above,
but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission
or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished
to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment
thereto), including any Rule 430 Information deemed to be a part thereof, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or
any Time of Sale Information (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information
consists of the following paragraphs in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus: the information in the sixth and seventh paragraphs
and the third sentence of the eighth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of interest).”
(c) Notice
and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be
brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or
(b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification
may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying
Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above, except to the extent
that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided,
further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified
Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an
Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying
Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying
Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of
such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its
own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Indemnifying
Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable
time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person;
or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the
Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related
proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel)
for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for
any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by
the Representatives and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors and officers who signed the Registration Statement and
any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for
the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of
such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an
Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying
Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered
into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not
have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall,
without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which
any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person,
unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include
any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
(d) Contribution.
If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient
in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in
lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as
a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation
provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters
on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the
other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company
from the sale of the Notes and the total underwriting discounts received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as
set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Notes. The relative fault
of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) Limitation
on Liability. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other
method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount
paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above
shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or other expenses
incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7,
in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts received by such Underwriter
with respect to the Notes underwritten by it and distributed to investors. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion
to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.
(f) Non-Exclusive
Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may
otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.
8. Effectiveness
of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
9. Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice to the Company, if after the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date: (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially
limited on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), Euronext Dublin or the over-the-counter market, or minimum or maximum
prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required by, the NYSE or Euronext Dublin or by order of the
Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or any other governmental authority; (ii) trading of any securities issued
or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended or materially limited by the Commission, the NYSE or Euronext Dublin or in any
over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by United States federal
or New York State authorities; (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial
markets or any other calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is
material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Notes on the terms
and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus; or (v) a material disruption
has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or in Europe.
10. Defaulting
Underwriter.
(a) If,
on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation or, in accordance with the exercise of Bail-in Powers described in Section 18
hereof, is no longer obligated to purchase the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the remaining Underwriters may in their
discretion arrange for the purchase of such Notes by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement.
If, within 36 hours after any such default or, pursuant to an exercise of Bail-in Powers described in Section 18 hereof, failure
to purchase the Notes by any Underwriter, the remaining Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Notes, then the Company
shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the remaining Underwriters to
purchase such Notes on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Notes of a defaulting Underwriter or of
an Underwriter no longer obligated to purchase in accordance with the exercise of Bail-in Powers described in Section 18 hereof,
either the remaining Underwriters, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full
business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary
in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company
agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus
that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this
Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10,
purchases Notes that a defaulting Underwriter, or an Underwriter no longer obligated to purchase in accordance with the exercise of Bail-in
Powers described in Section 18 hereof, agreed but failed to purchase.
(b) If,
after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Underwriter, or of an Underwriter no longer obligated
to purchase in accordance with the exercise of Bail-in Powers described in Section 18 hereof, by the remaining Underwriters by other
persons satisfactory to the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Notes that remains
unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes, then the Company shall have the right to
require each remaining Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Notes that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus
such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Notes that such Underwriter agreed to purchase
hereunder) of the Notes of a defaulting Underwriter, or of an Underwriter no longer obligated to purchase in accordance with the exercise
of Bail-in Powers described in Section 18 hereof, for which such arrangements have not been made.
(c) If,
after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Notes of a defaulting Underwriter, or of an Underwriter no longer obligated
to purchase in accordance with the exercise of Bail-in Powers described in Section 18 hereof, by the remaining Underwriters by other
persons satisfactory to the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Notes that remains
unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described
in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the remaining Underwriters. Any
termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the
Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions
of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.
(d) Nothing
contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter, or an Underwriter no longer obligated to purchase the Notes in accordance with
the exercise of Bail-in Powers described in Section 18 hereof, of any liability it may have to the Company or any remaining Underwriter
for damages caused by its default.
11. Payment
of Expenses.
(a) Whether
or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or
cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation: (i) the
costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Notes and any taxes payable in that connection;
(ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, each Preliminary
Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and
supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents;
(iv) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Notes under the laws of such
jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including
the related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$10,000); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Notes; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the
Paying Agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred
in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, (ix) the approval
of the Notes for book-entry transfer through the facilities of Clearstream and Euroclear; (x) the fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the listing of the Notes on the Official List of Euronext Dublin and admission to trading on the GEM; and (xi) all
expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors. Except as otherwise
stated in this Section 11, the Underwriters shall pay the fees and disbursements of their counsel, and the Company shall have no
liability for such fees and disbursements. Each Underwriter agrees severally to pay the portion of such expenses represented by such
Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the proportion that the principal amount of Notes set forth opposite each Underwriter’s

operations and represent the large majority of the Company’s recent investments.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain of the matters discussed in this
communication constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as
amended), both as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements include, among other
things, statements regarding: expectations of the Company surrounding the impact of the broader macroeconomic environment and the ability
of the Company’s tenants to pay rent; the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, creditworthiness, results of operations,
funds from operations, adjusted funds from operations and prospects; the Company’s future capital expenditure and leverage levels,
debt service obligations, and plans to fund the Company’s liquidity needs; prospective statements regarding the Company’s
access to the capital markets, including its “at-the-market” program; statements that the Company makes regarding its ability
to remain qualified for taxation as a real estate investment trust; the Company’s potential reorganization into an umbrella partnership
real estate investment trust and its impact; and the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements and other regulatory activity.
Forward looking statements are generally identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “project,” “expect,”
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,”
“should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely
result” and similar expressions.
These statements are based on the
current expectations of the Company’s management, and it is important to note that the Company’s actual results could be
materially different from those projected in such forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable risks or
uncertainties, like the risks related to fluctuating interest rates, the impact of inflation on the Company and its tenants, the
effects of pandemics and global outbreaks of contagious diseases, and domestic or geopolitical crises, such as terrorism, military
conflict, war or the perception that hostilities may be imminent, political instability or civil unrest, or other conflict, could
also have material adverse effects on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and
prospects. You should exercise caution in relying on forward-looking statements as they involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, and other factors that may materially affect the Company’s future results, performance, achievements, or
transactions. Information on factors that could impact actual results and cause them to differ from what is anticipated in the
forward-looking statements contained herein is included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended September 30, 2024, as filed with the SEC on October 30, 2024, as well as in the Company’s other filings with the
SEC, including but not limited to those described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 9, 2024. Moreover, because the Company operates in a
very competitive and rapidly changing environment, new risks are likely to emerge from time to time. Given these risks and
uncertainties, potential investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a prediction of
future results, which speak only as of the date of this communication, unless noted otherwise. Except as required by federal
securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company does not undertake to revise or update any forward-looking
statements.
