References herein to “this Agreement” or to matters contained “herein” or “hereunder”, or words of similar import, mean this ATM Equity Offering ^SM Sales Agreement and any applicable Terms Agreement.

On March 31, 2023, the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 10, 2022, by and among the Company (known at that time as iStar Inc.) and Safehold Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Old SAFE”), were consummated.

(the “Merger”), at which time Old SAFE ceased to exist, the Company continued as the surviving corporation, and the Company changed its name to “Safehold Inc.” Additionally, in connection with the Merger, the Operating Company (formerly known as Safehold Operating Partnership LP) converted from a Delaware limited partnership into a Delaware limited liability company and changed its name to “Safehold GL Holdings LLC”, with the Company as its managing member.

The Transaction Entities have prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an “automatic shelf registration statement”, as defined under Rule 405 (“Rule 405”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-271113 and 333-271113-01), covering the public offering and sale of certain securities of the Transaction Entities, including the Shares by the Selling Stockholder, under the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “1933 Act Regulations”), which automatic shelf registration statement became effective under Rule 462(e) of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 462(e)”).

Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus supplement relating to the Selling Stockholder’s offer and sale of the Shares from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 424(b)”).

(xiii)         Money Laundering Laws.

(c)            Officer’s Certificates.

Section 2. Sale and Delivery of Shares.

(a)            Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Selling Stockholder agrees to sell Shares through the applicable Agent(s) acting as sales agent or directly to the applicable Agent(s) acting as principal from time to time. Sales of the Shares, if any, through an Agent acting as sales agent or directly to an Agent acting as principal will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

(b)            The Shares are to be sold through an Agent on an agented basis on any day (other than a day on which the NYSE is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time) (each, a “Trading Day”) on which (i) the Selling Stockholder has instructed such Agent to make such sales and (ii) the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder have satisfied or the Agent has waived the Transaction Entities’ and/or the Selling Stockholder’s respective covenants and conditions specified in Sections 3 and 5 hereof. On any Trading Day, the Selling Stockholder may sell Shares through only one Agent and, if it determines to do so, shall instruct the applicable Agent by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by such Agent) as to the maximum number of Shares to be sold on such Trading Day and the minimum price per Share at which such Shares may be sold. Subject to the terms and conditions specified herein (including, without limitation, the accuracy of the respective representations and warranties of the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder and the performance by the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder of their respective covenants and other obligations, contained herein and the satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 5 hereof), such Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations, to sell all of the Shares so designated by the Selling Stockholder as sales agent in accordance with such instruction. On any Trading Day, the Selling Stockholder shall give at least one business day’s prior written notice by telecopy or email to the Agents as to any change of the Agent through whom sales of Shares as sales agent will be made. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitation shall not apply to sales solely to employees or security holders of the Company or its subsidiaries or to a trustee or other person acquiring Shares for the accounts of such persons in which any of the Agents are acting for the Company in a capacity other than as Agent under this Agreement. Each of the Transaction Entities, the Selling Stockholder and the Agents acknowledge and agree that (A) there can be no assurance that any Agent will be successful in selling any Shares and (B) no Agent will incur any liability or obligation to the Transaction Entities or the Selling Stockholder if they fail to sell Shares for any reason other than a failure to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations, to sell such Shares as required by this Agreement.

(c)            The Transaction Entities, the Selling Stockholder or the Agent through whom the sale of Shares are to be made as sales agent on any Trading Day may, upon notice to the other parties hereto by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by the receiving party), suspend the offering of Shares with respect to which such Agent is acting as sales agent for any reason and at any time; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold, or with respect to Shares that the Selling Stockholder has agreed to sell, hereunder prior to the giving of such notice.

(d)            The gross sales price of any Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement by the applicable Agent acting as sales agent of the Selling Stockholder shall be equal to, in the discretion of such Agent but subject to the specific instructions of the Selling Stockholder, the market price prevailing at the time of sale for the Shares sold by such Agent on the NYSE or otherwise, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The compensation payable to an Agent for sales of Shares with respect to which such Agent acts as sales agent shall be at a mutually agreed rate, not to exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price for such Shares. The remaining proceeds, after further deduction for any transaction fees, transfer taxes or similar taxes or fees imposed by any Governmental Entity or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Selling Stockholder for such sales (the “Net Proceeds”). The applicable Agent shall notify the Selling Stockholder as promptly as practicable if any deduction referenced in the preceding sentence will be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Selling Stockholder engages an Agent as sales agent for the sale of Shares that would constitute a “distribution” within the meaning of Rule 100 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act, the Selling Stockholder and such Agent will agree to compensation for such Agent that is customary for such sales.

(e)            If acting as sales agent hereunder, the applicable Agent shall provide written confirmation to the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder following the close of trading on the NYSE on each Trading Day on which Shares are sold under this Agreement setting forth the number of Shares sold on such day, the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the Shares, the aggregate Net Proceeds to the Selling Stockholder and the aggregate compensation payable by the Selling Stockholder to such Agent with respect to such sales.

(f)            Under no circumstances shall the aggregate number of Shares offered or sold pursuant to this Agreement, or which are the subject of instructions to an Agent as sales agent pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, exceed the aggregate number of Shares (i) referred to in the preamble paragraph of this Agreement, as reduced by prior sales of Shares under this Agreement, (ii) available for sale under the Registration Statement or (iii) duly listed on the NYSE. In addition, under no circumstances shall any Shares with respect to which an Agent acts as sales agent be offered or sold, or be the subject of instructions to an Agent as sales agent pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, at a price lower than the minimum price therefor duly authorized from time to time by the Selling Stockholder and notified to the Agents in writing. The Agents shall have no responsibility for maintaining records with respect to Shares available for sale under the Registration Statement or for determining the number or minimum price of Shares duly authorized by the Selling Stockholder.

(g)            If the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the 1934 Act are not satisfied with respect to the Company or the Shares, the Company shall promptly notify the Selling Stockholder and the Agents and future offers and sales of Shares through the Agents on an agented basis under this ATM Equity Offering ^SM Sales Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party.

(h)            Settlement for sales of Shares will occur on the second business day that is also a Trading Day following the trade date on which such sales are made, unless another date shall be agreed to in writing by the Selling Stockholder and the applicable Agent(s) (each such day, a “Settlement Date”). On each Settlement Date for the sale of Shares through an Agent as sales agent, such Shares shall be delivered by the Selling Stockholder to such Agent in book-entry form to such Agent’s account at The Depository Trust Company against payment by such Agent of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Shares in same day funds delivered to an account designated by the Selling Stockholder. If the Selling Stockholder shall default on its obligation to deliver Shares through an Agent as sales agent on any Settlement Date, the Selling Stockholder shall (i) indemnify and hold such Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Selling Stockholder and (ii) pay such Agent any commissions to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default.

(i)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company and the Selling Stockholder agree that no sales of Shares shall take place, and that the Selling Stockholder shall not offer or sell, or instruct an Agent to offer or sell, any Shares through an Agent as sales agent (and, by notice to the Agents given by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email), shall cancel any instructions for any such offer or sale of any Shares prior to the commencement of the periods referenced below), and the Agents shall not be obligated to make any such offer or sale of Shares, (i) during any period in which either the Selling Stockholder or the Company is, or could reasonably be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information or (ii) except as provided in Section 2(j) hereof, at any time during the period commencing on the business day prior to the time the Company issues a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other operating results for a fiscal period or periods (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K (a “Filing Time”) that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same fiscal period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement. The Company shall promptly notify the Selling Stockholder when it is, or could reasonably be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information.

(j)            Notwithstanding clause (ii) of Section 2(i) hereof, if the Selling Stockholder wishes to offer or sell Shares to an Agent as sales agent at any time during the period from and including an Earnings Announcement through and including the corresponding Filing Time, the Selling Stockholder shall notify the Company and request that the Company prepare an Earnings 8-K (as defined below). If the Company agrees, in its sole and absolute discretion, to the preparation of such Earnings 8-K, the Company shall first (i) prepare and deliver to such Agent (with a copy to counsel for the Agents and to the Selling Stockholder) a Current Report on Form 8-K that includes substantially the same financial and related information (together with management’s discussion and analysis thereof) that was included in such Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings projections and similar forward-looking data and officers’ quotations) (each, an “Earnings 8-K”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Agent, and, prior to its filing, obtain the written consent of such Agent to such filing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) provide such Agent with the officers’ certificates, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letters specified in Section 3(q), (r) and (s), respectively, hereof, (iii) afford such Agent the opportunity to conduct a due diligence review in accordance with Section 3(t) hereof prior to filing such Earnings 8-K and (iv) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company declines to prepare such Earnings 8-K, the Selling Stockholder shall be subject to clause (ii) of Section 2(i) hereof. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that (A) the delivery of any officers’ certificates, opinion or letter of counsel or accountants’ letters pursuant to this Section 2(j) shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, including, without limitation, the obligation to deliver officers’ certificates, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letters as provided in Section 3(p), (q) and (r), respectively, hereof, and (B) this Section 2(j) shall in no way affect or limit the operation of clause (i) of Section 2(i) hereof, which shall have independent application.

(k)            The Agents shall not have any obligation to purchase Shares as principal from the Selling Stockholder unless the Selling Stockholder and the applicable Agent(s) agree as set forth below. Shares purchased from the Selling Stockholder by the applicable Agent(s), individually or in a syndicate, as principal shall be made in accordance with terms agreed upon between such Agent(s) and the Selling Stockholder as evidenced by a Terms Agreement. The applicable Agent(s)’ commitment to purchase Shares from the Selling Stockholder as principal shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder, and performance by the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder of their respective covenants and other obligations, herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. At the time of each Terms Agreement, the applicable Agent(s) shall specify the requirements, if any, for the officers’ certificates, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letters pursuant to Section 3(p), (q) and (r), respectively, hereof. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this ATM Equity Offering^SM Sales Agreement and a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement shall control.

Section 3. Covenants of the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder. Each of the Transaction Entities, jointly and severally, and the Selling Stockholder, as applicable, covenants with each Agent as follows:

(a)            Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests. The Company, subject to Section 3(b) and 3(c) hereof, will comply with the requirements of Rule 430B, and will notify the Selling Stockholder and the Agents as soon as reasonably possible, and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any new registration statement relating to the Shares shall become effective or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus shall have been filed (other than an amendment or supplement providing solely for the determination of the terms of an offering of securities unless related to an offering of Shares, as to which the Company will only be obligated to notify the applicable Agent(s)), (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, including any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, or for additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or any notice of objection to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) or of the issuance of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or of the suspension of the qualification of any Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the 1933 Act concerning the Registration Statement and (v) if either of the Transaction Entities becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with any offering of Shares. In connection with a Terms Agreement, the Company will prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(c) hereof, a pricing supplement with respect to the offer and sale of Shares covered by such Terms Agreement. The Company will effect all filings required under Rule 424(b), in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop, prevention or suspension order and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof as soon as reasonably possible. In the event of any issuance of a notice of objection, by the Commission, the Company shall take all necessary action to permit offers and sales of Shares by or through the Agents, including, without limitation, amending the Registration Statement or filing a new shelf registration statement relating thereto. The Company shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Shares prior to the time the initial Prospectus Supplement is filed with the Commission or the time any subsequent Prospectus Supplement that increases the gross offering price or number of Shares that may offered and sold under this Agreement from that referenced in the immediately preceding Prospectus Supplement filed with the Commission.

(b)            Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company will comply with the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of sales of Shares as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. If any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Agents or counsel to the Company, to (i) amend the Registration Statement in order that the Registration Statement will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order that the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser or (iii) amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, including, without limitation, the filing of any document incorporated by reference therein, in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations, the Company will promptly (A) give the Selling Stockholder and the Agents or, in the case of an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agent(s) as principal, such Agent(s) written notice of such event or condition, (B) prepare any amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to comply with such requirements and, a reasonable amount of time prior to any proposed filing or use, furnish the Selling Stockholder and the Agents or such Agent(s), as the case may be, with copies of any such amendment or supplement and (C) file with the Commission any such amendment or supplement and use its best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable if the Company is no longer eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not file or use any such amendment or supplement to which the Selling Stockholder and the Agents or such Agent(s), as the case may be, or counsel for the Agents shall reasonably object.

(c)            Filing or Use of Amendments and Supplements. The Company will give the Selling Stockholder and the Agents or, in the case of an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agent(s) as principal, such Agent(s) written notice of its intention to file or use (i) any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (other than an amendment or supplement thereto relating solely to the offering of securities unless related to an offering of Shares), whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, or (ii) a pricing supplement disclosing the offer and sale of Shares covered by a Terms Agreement, will furnish the Selling Stockholder and the Agents or such Agent(s), as the case may be, with copies of any such document a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which the Selling Stockholder and the Agents or such Agent(s), as the case may be, or counsel for the Agents shall reasonably object.

(d)            Delivery of Registration Statements. Upon request of the Agents, the Company has furnished or will deliver to the Selling Stockholder, the Agents and counsel for the Agents, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts. The signed copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Selling Stockholder, the Agents and counsel for the Agents will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(e)            Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company will furnish to the Agents or, in the case of an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agent(s) as principal, such Agent(s), without charge, upon execution of this Agreement and thereafter during the period in which a prospectus is (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 172”), would be) required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with any offer or sale of Shares, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as the Selling Stockholder and the Agents or such Agent(s), as the case may be, may reasonably request. The Company will also furnish, upon request of the Agents or such Agent(s), as the case may be, copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) to each exchange or market on which sales of Shares were made as may be required by the rules and regulations of such exchange or market. The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished in accordance with this Section will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(f)            Reporting Requirements. The Company, during the period in which a prospectus is (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172, would be) required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with any offer or sale of Shares, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act within the time periods prescribed by, and meeting the requirements of, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.

(g)            Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts, in cooperation with the Agents or, in the case of an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agent(s) as principal, such Agent(s) to qualify the Shares for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and non-U.S. jurisdictions as the Agents or such Agent(s), as the case may be, may, from time to time, designate and to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required to complete the sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(h)            Rule 158. The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide to the Agents the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.

(i)            Listing. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing of the Shares on, and satisfy the requirements of, the NYSE.

(j)            Notice of Certain Actions. During each period commencing on the date on which the Selling Stockholder provides sales instructions to an Agent, as its agent, and ending after the close of business on the Settlement Date for the related transaction, neither the Transaction Entities nor the Selling Stockholder will, without giving such Agent at least three business days’ prior written notice, (i) directly or indirectly offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, LLC Interests) or submit or file any registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to any of the foregoing or publicly announce the intention to do any of the foregoing or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such swap, other agreement or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly announce the intention to do any of the foregoing. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) the Shares to be sold in accordance with such sales instructions, (B) any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion or exchange of a security or exercise of a preemptive right by an existing security holder, in each case outstanding or existing on the date hereof and disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (C) any shares of Common Stock, LLC Interests, LTIP Units, dividend equivalent rights or other equity based awards issued or options to purchase Common Stock granted pursuant to existing employee benefit plans of the Company disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (including the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 relating to such existing employee benefit plans of the Company), (D) LLC Interests, in the aggregate not to exceed 15% of the number of LLC Interests outstanding, issued in connection with the acquisition of property or assets, or (E) any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any non-employee director share plan or distribution reinvestment plan disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Upon receipt of any written notice contemplated above, an Agent may suspend its activity under this Agreement for such period of time as deemed appropriate by such Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any sale of Shares directly to the applicable Agent(s) acting as principal, the Selling Stockholder and such Agent(s) may negotiate a lock up agreement prior to the execution of a Terms Agreement relating to such sale. For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions in the first sentence of this Section 3(j) shall apply to any shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to that certain ATM Equity Offering^SM Sales Agreement, dated as of April 5, 2023, among the Transaction Entities and the agents party thereto, and the Selling Stockholder shall immediately notify the Company upon its delivery of sales instructions to an Agent.

(k)            Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Each of the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder agrees that, unless they obtain the prior written consent of the applicable Agent(s), it will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” or a portion thereof, required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433. Each of the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder represents that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each such free writing prospectus consented to by the applicable Agent(s) as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and that the Company has complied and will comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 433 with respect thereto, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. If at any time following the issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus or other prospectus deemed to be part thereof that has not been superseded or modified, or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the applicable Agent(s) and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

(l)            No Stabilization or Manipulation. None of the Transaction Entities, any of their respective subsidiaries or other affiliates or the Selling Stockholder will take, directly or indirectly, any action which is designed, or would reasonably be expected, to cause or result in, or which constitutes, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Transaction Entities to facilitate the sale or resale of any Shares or a violation of Regulation M under the 1934 Act.

(m)            REIT Qualification. The Company will use its best efforts to continue to meet the requirements to qualify as a REIT under the Code until the Board of Directors of the Company determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to qualify as a REIT.

(n)            Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Each of the Transaction Entities will comply in all material respects with all applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that are in effect.

(o)            Certification Regarding Beneficial Owners.

No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(e)            Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(f)            Other Agreements With Respect to Indemnification. The provisions of this Section shall not affect any agreement between the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder in effect on the date hereof or made hereafter.

Section 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the applicable Agent(s), on the other hand, from the applicable offering of Shares pursuant to this Agreement 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) above but also the relative fault of the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and of the applicable Agent(s), on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the applicable Agent(s), on the other hand, in connection with the applicable offering of Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of Shares pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, bear to the total commissions or underwriting discounts received by the applicable Agent(s), on the other hand.

The relative fault of the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the applicable Agent(s), on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such 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 Transaction Entities or the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, or by the applicable Agent(s), on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Transaction Entities, the Selling Stockholder and the Agents 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 applicable Agent(s) were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total commissions or underwriting discounts received by such Agent in connection with Shares placed or underwritten by it for sale to the public.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and an Agent’s Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Agent, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls either of the Transaction Entities or the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Transaction Entities or the Selling Stockholder. The Agents’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the number of Shares placed or underwritten by it in the applicable offering.

Section 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of either of the Transaction Entities, any of their respective subsidiaries or the Selling Stockholder submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent or its affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling any Agent, or its officers or directors, or any person controlling either of the Transaction Entities or the Selling Stockholder and (ii) delivery of and payment for the applicable offering of Shares.

Section 9. Termination.

(a)            This ATM Equity Offering ^SM Sales Agreement may be terminated for any reason, at any time, by the Selling Stockholder or an Agent, as to itself, upon the giving of prior written notice to the other parties hereto.

(b)            The applicable Agent(s) may terminate a Terms Agreement to which they are a party, at any time at or prior to the Settlement Date, (i) if there has been, in such judgment of such Agent(s), since the time of execution of such Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any material adverse change in or affecting the Properties taken as a whole or in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs, management or business prospects of the Transaction Entities and their respective subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of such Agent(s), impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering of Shares contemplated by such Terms Agreement or to enforce contracts for the sale of such Shares, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company or the Operating Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the NYSE, or (iv) if trading generally on the NYSE or the NYSE American or in the Nasdaq Global Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other Governmental Entity, or (v) if a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or with respect to the systems of Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, or Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V., in Europe, or (vi) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either U.S. federal or New York authorities.

(c)                  If the Selling Stockholder and two or more Agents enter into a Terms Agreement pursuant to which such Agents agree to purchase Shares from the Selling Stockholder as principal and one or more of such Agents shall fail at the Settlement Date to purchase the Shares which it or they are obligated to purchase (the “Defaulted Shares”), then the nondefaulting Agent(s) shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one of them or one or more other Agents or underwriters to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Shares in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; provided, however, that if such arrangements shall not have been completed within such 24-hour period, then:

(i)                  if the number of Defaulted Shares does not exceed 10% of the number of Shares to be so purchased by all of such Agents on the Settlement Date, the nondefaulting Agent(s) shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective initial purchase obligation bears to the purchase obligations of all nondefaulting Agents; or

(ii)                  if the number of Defaulted Shares exceeds 10% of the number of Shares to be so purchased by all of such Agent(s) on the Settlement Date, such Terms Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Agent.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 9(c) shall relieve any defaulting Agent from liability in respect of its default. In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of such Terms Agreement, either the nondefaulting Agent(s) or the Selling Stockholder shall have the right to postpone the Settlement Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements with the consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(d)                  In the event of any termination under this Section 9, no party will have any liability to any other party hereto, except that (i) the Agents shall be entitled to any commissions earned in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, (ii) if at the time of termination (a) an Agent shall own any Shares purchased by it as principal or (b) an offer to purchase any Shares has been accepted by the Selling Stockholder but the Settlement Date has not occurred, the covenants set forth in Section 3 hereof shall remain in effect until such Shares are resold or so delivered, as the case may be, and (iii) the covenant set forth in Section 3(h) hereof, the provisions of Section 4 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreements set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, and the provisions of Sections 8, 9, 13, 14, 15 and 16 hereof shall remain in effect.

Section 11. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. Each of the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that (a) each purchase and sale of Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the respective initial public offering prices of Shares, if any, and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the applicable Agent(s), on the other hand, (b) the Agents have not assumed and will not assume any advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Transaction Entities or the Selling Stockholder or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates with respect to any offering of Shares or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the applicable Agent(s) have advised or are currently advising either of the Transaction Entities or the Selling Stockholder or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Transaction Entities or the Selling Stockholder except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (c) the Agents and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of either of the Transaction Entities or the Selling Stockholder, (d) the Agents have not provided any legal, accounting, financial, regulatory or tax advice to the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder or any other person or entity with respect to any offering of Shares and each of the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder has consulted its own respective legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate, (e) none of the activities of the Agents in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice or solicitation of any action by the Agents with respect to any entity or natural person and (f) each of the Transaction Entities and the Selling Stockholder waives, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, any claims it may have against the Agents and/or their respective affiliates arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with any offering of the Shares.

Section 12. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a)                  In the event that any Agent that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Agent of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)                  In the event that any Agent that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Agent becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Agent are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States

TERMS AGREEMENT

[ADDRESS OF AGENT[S]]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Star Investment Holdings SPV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Selling Stockholder”) and subsidiary of Star Holdings, a Maryland statutory trust, confirms its respective agreements with [•] [and [•]] ([collectively,] the “Underwriter[s]”), on the basis of the representations and warranties, and subject to the terms and conditions, stated herein and in the ATM Equity Offering^SM Sales Agreement, dated April 5, 2023 (the “Sales Agreement”), among Safehold Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), Safehold GL Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Operating Company,” and together with the Company, the “Transaction Entities”), the Selling Stockholder and the agents party thereto, with respect to the sale by the Selling Stockholder to the Underwriter[s] as principal for resale, and the Underwriter[s] [severally] agree[s] to purchase from the Selling Stockholder, the shares of Common Stock specified in the Schedule A hereto (the “[Initial] Securities”) [, and to grant to the Underwriter[s] the option to purchase the additional shares of Common Stock specified in the Schedule A hereto (the “Option Securities”, and together with the Initial Securities, the “Securities”)]*,[in each case] * on the terms specified in Schedule A hereto. Capitalized terms but and not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Sales Agreement.

[The Selling Stockholder grants an option to the Underwriter[s, severally and not jointly, ]to purchase up to an additional [●] Option Securities at the price per share set forth in Schedule A hereto. The option hereby granted may be exercised for 30 days after the date hereof and may be exercised in whole or in part at any time from time to time upon notice by the Underwriter[s] to the Company and the Selling Stockholder setting forth the number of Option Securities as to which the [several] Underwriter[s] [is][are] then exercising the option and the time and date of payment and delivery for such Option Securities. Any such time and date of delivery (a “Date of Delivery”) shall be determined by the Underwriter[s], but shall not be later than seven full business days after the exercise of said option, nor in any event prior to the Settlement Date (as defined below). [If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Securities, each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, will purchase that proportion of the total number of Option Securities then being purchased which the number of Initial Securities set forth in Schedule A hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Initial Securities, subject, in each case, to such adjustments as [•] in its sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares.] For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that the officers’ certificates, opinions and letter of counsel and accountants’ letters referred to in Section 3(p), (q) and (r), respectively, of the Sales Agreement are required to be delivered by or on behalf of the Transaction Entities on the Settlement Date.]*

Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates for, the Initial Securities shall be made at the offices of Sidley Austin LLP, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Underwriter[s] and the Selling Stockholder, at 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second (or third, if the pricing occurs after 4:30 P.M. (New York City time) on any given day) business day after the date hereof (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(c) of the Sales Agreement), or such other time not later than ten business days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Underwriter[s] and the Selling Stockholder (such time and date of payment and delivery being herein called “Settlement Date”).

In addition, in the event that any or all of the Option Securities are purchased by the Underwriter[s], payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates for, such Option Securities shall be made at the above-mentioned offices, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Underwriter[s] and the Selling Stockholder, on each Date of Delivery as specified in the notice from the Underwriter[s] to the Company and the Selling Stockholder.

Payment shall be made to the Selling Stockholder by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Selling Stockholder against delivery to the Underwriter[s for their respective accounts for the Securities to be purchased by them]. [It is understood that each Underwriter has authorized [•] as representative of the Underwriters, for its account, to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Initial Securities and the Option Securities, if any, which it has agreed to purchase. [•], individually and not as representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Initial Securities or the Option Securities, if any, to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds have not been received by the Settlement Date or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, but such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder.]

Each of the provisions of the Sales Agreement not related solely to the agents, as agents of the Selling Stockholder, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be part of this Terms Agreement to the same extent as if each such provision had been set forth in full herein. Each of the representations and warranties set forth in the Sales Agreement shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Terms Agreement [and] [,] the Applicable Time [and any Date of Delivery].

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the Selling Stockholder a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement among the Underwriters and the Selling Stockholder in accordance with its terms.

THIS TERMS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS TERMS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS.

*                  Include only if the Underwriter[s][has][have] an option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock from the Selling Stockholder.
