Registration Statement on Form S-1. (a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, INC shall prepare (with the REIT’s reasonable cooperation) and cause to be filed with the SEC, a Registration Statement on Form S-1, including all exhibits and financial statements required under the Securities Act to be filed therewith (the “Form S-1”), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the Distribution Shares and the Other REIT Distribution Shares. INC shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) have the Form S-1 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, (B) ensure that the Form S-1 complies in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act and (C) keep the Form S-1 effective for so long as necessary to complete the Distribution. REIT shall furnish all information concerning itself and its subsidiaries to INC and provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested by INC in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Form S-1 and related prospectus. Each of INC and REIT shall provide to its and each other’s counsel such representations as reasonably necessary to render the opinions required to be filed therewith. The Form S-1 shall include all information reasonably requested by INC and REIT to be included therein. INC shall promptly notify REIT upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Form S-1, and shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide REIT with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, and all written comments with respect to the Form S-1 received from the SEC and advise REIT of any oral comments with respect to the Form S-1 received from the SEC. INC shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments from the SEC with respect to the Form S-1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing the Form S-1 (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments from the SEC with respect thereto, INC shall cooperate with REIT and provide REIT a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response). INC shall advise REIT, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time of effectiveness of the Form S-1, the issuance of any stop order relating thereto or the suspension of the qualification of the Distribution Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, and INC and REIT shall use their reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated. INC shall also take any other action reasonably required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the distribution of the Distribution Shares, and REIT shall furnish all information concerning itself and the holders of the REIT Common Shares as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such actions. (b) If, at any time prior to effective date of the Distribution, any information relating to INC, REIT or any Other REIT should be discovered by INC or REIT which, in the reasonable judgment of INC or REIT, should be set forth in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Form S-1, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Party, and INC and REIT shall cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment of, or supplement to, the Form S-1 and, to the extent required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to the shareholders of REIT. For purposes of this Section 4.1, any information concerning or related to the RMR Parties or the Founders will be deemed to have been provided by INC, any information concerning or related to REIT or its subsidiaries will be deemed to have been provided by REIT and any information concerning or related to any Other REIT or its subsidiaries will be deemed to have been provided by such Other REIT. (c) LLC shall pay or promptly reimburse INC and REIT, as applicable, for all customary costs and expenses incident to the preparation and filing of the Form S-1 and the listing of the Class A Common Stock on a national securities exchange, including: (i) all SEC registration and filing fees; (ii) all fees and expenses to list the Class A Common Stock on a national securities exchange; (iii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” Laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Distribution Shares); (iv) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to INC and fees and expenses for independent registered public accountants retained by INC (including the expenses or costs associated with the delivery of any consents and opinions); and (v) the fees and expenses of INC’s transfer agent and registrar. For the avoidance of doubt, INC and LLC shall not have any obligation to pay or reimburse the fees and expenses of the Distribution Agent, REIT’s transfer agent and registrar, REIT’s counsel or the cost of printing or mailing any prospectus for the Distribution to REIT’s shareholders, all of which shall be paid by REIT.
