RE:

Management Agreements with The RMR Group LLC

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and between Diversified Healthcare Trust (“DHC”) and Office Properties Income Trust (“OPI”), pursuant to which, among other things, DHC will merge with and into OPI, with OPI being the surviving entity in the merger (the “Merger”); (ii) the Second Amended and Restated Business Management Agreement (the “DHC Business Management Agreement”), dated June 5, 2015, as amended, by and between DHC and The RMR Group LLC (the “Manager”); (iii) the Second Amended and Restated Business Management Agreement, dated June 5, 2015, as amended, by and between OPI and the Manager (the “OPI Business Management Agreement”); (iv) the Third Amended and Restated Property Management Agreement, dated June 9, 2021, by and between DHC and the Manager (the “DHC Property Management Agreement”); and (v) the Second Amended and Restated Property Management Agreement, dated June 5, 2015, by and between OPI and the Manager (the “OPI Property Management Agreement”) (clauses (ii) through (v), the “Management Agreements”).

In connection with DHC’s entry into the Merger Agreement, on and subject to the terms set forth in this letter agreement, DHC gives the Manager notice of DHC’s termination of the DHC Business Management Agreement and the DHC Property Management Agreement effective as of the close of business on the date the Merger is consummated, each of which constitutes a Termination for Convenience (as defined in the DHC Business Management Agreement and the DHC Property Management Agreement, as applicable).

Pursuant to Section 18 of the DHC Business Management Agreement and Section 7 of the DHC Property Management Agreement, upon the effectiveness of the proposed termination of such agreements, DHC is required to pay to the Manager the “Full Termination Fee” (as defined in such agreements). By the execution and delivery of this letter agreement by DHC, OPI and the Manager, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Manager agrees: (i) that this letter agreement constitutes proper and timely notice of DHC’s termination under the DHC Business Management Agreement and the DHC Property Management Agreement; (ii) to accept termination of the DHC Business Management Agreement and the DHC Property Management Agreement effective upon consummation of the Merger as set forth in the preceding paragraph; and (iii) to waive any and all rights to receive payment of any Full Termination Fee or any other termination fee (including, without limitation, any Performance Termination Fee) under the DHC Business Management Agreement or the DHC Property Management Agreement resulting from the termination of such agreements upon consummation of the Merger; it being expressly understood and agreed that the notice of termination, termination and waiver provided for herein apply only in respect of the Merger and will not apply in respect of any Competing Proposal or Superior Proposal (as those terms are defined in the Merger Agreement) or to any other transaction or arrangement.

As an inducement to the Manager’s agreement to waive any and all rights to receive payment of any Full Termination Fee or any other termination fee (including, without limitation, any Performance Termination Fee) under the DHC Business Management Agreement or the DHC Property Management Agreement resulting from the termination of such agreements upon consummation of the Merger as provided herein, OPI and the Manager have entered into the Third Amended and Restated Property Management Agreement, dated as of the date hereof and effective as of the time the Merger is consummated, by and between OPI and the Manager (the “Amended OPI Property Management Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. No provision of the Amended OPI Property Management Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A may be amended, modified, supplemented or waived by OPI in a manner adverse to DHC or OPI prior to the consummation of the Merger without the prior written consent of DHC (acting upon the approval of an authorized committee of the board of trustees of DHC comprised solely of independent trustees).

Except as expressly provided herein and as a result of the effectiveness of the Amended OPI Property Management Agreement in accordance with its terms, this letter agreement shall not amend, modify, alter or waive in any respect any other agreements, rights or obligations of DHC, OPI, the Manager or others under or in respect of any of the Management Agreements.

This letter agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

Third Amended and Restated OPI Property Management Agreement

See attached.

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 11, 2023, by and among The RMR Group LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“Managing Agent”), and Office Properties Income Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), on behalf of itself and those of its subsidiaries as may from time to time own properties subject to this Agreement (each, an “Owner” and, collectively, “Owners”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Owners and Managing Agent are parties to a Second Amended and Restated Property Management Agreement, dated as of June 5, 2015 (as so amended, the “Original Agreement”), pursuant to which Owners have engaged Managing Agent to manage its properties;

WHEREAS, substantially concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Office Properties Income Trust (“Parent”), an Owner hereunder, and Diversified Healthcare Trust (“DHC”) are entering into that Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for a business combination through a merger of DHC with and into Parent, with Parent being the surviving entity in the merger (the “Merger”); and

WHEREAS, Owners and Managing Agent wish to continue the Original Agreement in force and effect with respect to services performed and fees due with respect to such services, on and prior to the date and time the Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”), but wish to amend and restate the Original Agreement as hereinafter provided, effective with respect to services performed and fees due with respect to such services after the Effective Time;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein contained, Owners and Managing Agent hereby agree that the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated as of the Effective Time to read in its entirety as follows:

1.             Engagement. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Owners hereby continue to engage Managing Agent to provide the property management and administrative services with respect to the Managed Premises contemplated by this Agreement. Managing Agent xxxxxx accepts such continued engagement as managing agent and agrees to devote such time, attention and effort as may be appropriate to operate and manage the Managed Premises in a diligent, orderly and efficient manner.

As used in this Agreement, “Managed Premises” shall mean all the properties of Owners that from time to time are subject to this Agreement; provided, that “Managed Premises” shall not include senior living communities leased to a taxable real estate investment trust subsidiary and managed by a third party operator unless otherwise agreed.

Managing Agent may subcontract out some or all of its obligations hereunder to third parties; provided, however, that, in any such event, Managing Agent shall be and remain primarily liable to Owners for performance hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the services to be provided by Managing Agent hereunder shall exclude all services (including, without limitation, any garage management or cafeteria management services) whose performance by a manager to any Owner could give rise to an Owner’s receipt of “impermissible tenant service income” as defined in §856(d)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended or superseded hereafter, the “Code”) or could in any other way jeopardize an Owner’s federal or state tax qualification as a real estate investment trust.

2.             General Parameters. Any or all services may be performed or goods purchased by Managing Agent under arrangements jointly with or for other properties owned or managed by Managing Agent and the costs shall be reasonably apportioned. Managing Agent may employ personnel who are assigned to work exclusively at the Managed Premises or partly at the Managed Premises and other properties owned and/or managed by Managing Agent. Wages, benefits and other related costs of centralized accounting personnel and employees employed by Managing Agent and assigned to work exclusively or partly at the Managed Premises shall be fairly apportioned and reimbursed, pro rata, by Owners in addition to the Fee, Construction Supervision Fee and Major Renovation Fee (each as defined in Section 6).

3.             Duties. Without limitation, Managing Agent agrees to perform the following specific duties:

(a)            To seek tenants for the Managed Premises in accordance with market rents and to negotiate leases, including renewals thereof, and to lease space to tenants, at rentals, and for periods of occupancy all on market terms. To employ appropriate means in order that the availability of rental space is made known to potential tenants, including, but not limited to, the employment of brokers. The brokerage and legal expenses of negotiating such leases and leasing such space shall be paid by the applicable Owner.

(b)            To collect all rents and other income from the Managed Premises and to give receipts therefor, both on behalf of Owners, and deposit such funds in such banks and such accounts as are named, from time to time, by Owners, in agency accounts for and under the name of Owners. Managing Agent shall be empowered to sign disbursement checks on these accounts. Managing Agent may also use pooled bank accounts for the benefit of Owners and other owners for whom the Managing Agent provides services, provided separate records and accountings of such funds are maintained.

(c)            To make contracts for and to supervise any repairs and/or alterations to the Managed Premises, including tenant improvements on reasonable commercial terms.

(d)            For Owners’ account and at its expense, to hire, supervise and discharge employees as required for the efficient operation and maintenance of the Managed Premises.

(e)            To obtain, at Owners’ expense, appropriate insurance for the Managed Premises protecting Owners and Managing Agent while acting on behalf of Owners against all normally insurable risks relating to the Managed Premises and complying with the requirements of Owners’ mortgagee, if any, and to cause the same to be provided and maintained by all tenants with respect to the Managed Premises to the extent required by the terms of such tenants’ leases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owners may determine to purchase insurance directly for their own account.

(f)             To promptly notify the applicable Owner’s insurance carriers, as required by the applicable policies, of any casualty or injury to person or property at the Managed Premises, and complete customary reports in connection therewith.

(g)            To procure all supplies, other materials and services as may be necessary for the proper operation of the Managed Premises, at Owners’ expense.

(h)            To pay promptly from rental receipts, other income derived from the Managed Premises, or other monies made available by Owners for such purpose, all costs incurred in the operation of the Managed Premises which are expenses of Owners hereunder, including wages or other payments for services rendered, invoices for supplies or other items furnished in relation to the Managed Premises, and pay over forthwith the balance of such rental receipts, income and monies to Owners or as Owners shall from time to time direct. In the event that the sum of the expenses to operate and the compensation due Managing Agent exceeds gross receipts in any month and no excess funds from prior months are available for payment of such excess, Owners shall pay promptly the amount of the deficiency thereof to Managing Agent upon receipt of statements therefor.

(i)             To keep Owners apprised of any material developments in the operation of the Managed Premises.

(j)             To establish reasonable rules and regulations for tenants of the Managed Premises.

(k)            On behalf of and in the name of Owner, to institute or defend, as the case may be, any and all legal actions or proceedings relating to the operation of the Managed Premises.

(l)             To maintain the books and records of Owners reflecting the management and operation of the Managed Premises, making available for reasonable inspection and examination by Owners or their representatives all books, records and other financial data relating to the Managed Premises at the place where the same are maintained.

(q)            To seek market terms for all items purchased or services contracted by it under this Agreement.

(r)             To take such action generally consistent with the provisions of this Agreement as Owners might with respect to the Managed Premises if personally present.

(s)            To, from time to time, or at any time requested by the Board of Trustees of the Company (the “Trustees”), make reports of its performance of the foregoing services to the Company.

In addition, with respect to the senior living communities owned by Owners and managed by third party operators, including, but not limited to, AlerisLife Inc. or certain of its subsidiaries, if requested by Owners, Manager shall oversee major capital projects and repositionings as requested by Owners from time to time (“Major SL Capital Projects”).

4.            Authority. Owners give to Managing Agent the authority and powers to perform the foregoing duties on behalf of Owners and authorize Managing Agent to incur such reasonable expenses, as contemplated in Sections 2, 3 and 5 on behalf of Owners as are necessary in the performance of those duties.

(a)            Terminate tenancies and sign and serve in the name of Owners such notices therefor as may be required for the proper management of the Managed Premises.

(b)            At Owners’ expense, institute and prosecute actions to evict tenants and recover possession of rental space, and recover rents and other sums due; and when expedient, settle, compromise and release such actions or suits or reinstate such tenancies.

Compensation.

(a)            In consideration of the services to be rendered by Managing Agent hereunder, Owners agree to pay and Managing Agent agrees to accept as its compensation (i) a management fee (the “Fee”) equal to three percent (3%) of the gross collected rents actually received by Owners from the Managed Premises, such gross rents to include all fixed rents, percentage rents, additional rents, operating expense and tax escalations, and any other charges paid to Owners in connection with occupancy of the Managed Premises, but excluding any amounts collected from tenants to reimburse Owners for the cost of capital improvements or for expenses incurred in curing any tenant default or in enforcing any remedy against any tenant; (ii) a construction supervision fee (the “Construction Supervision Fee”) in connection with all interior and exterior construction renovation or repair activities at the Managed Premises, including, without limitation, all tenant and capital improvements in, on or about the Managed Premises, undertaken during the term of this Agreement, other than ordinary maintenance and repair, equal to five percent (5%) of the cost of such construction which shall include the costs of all related professional services and the cost of general conditions; and (iii) a renovation and repositioning fee (the “Major Renovation Fee”) in connection with all Major SL Capital Projects equal to three percent (3%) of the cost of such Major SL Capital Projects which shall include the costs of all related professional services and the cost of general conditions.

(b)            Unless otherwise agreed, the Fee shall be due and payable monthly, in arrears based on a reasonable annual estimate or budget with an annual reconciliation within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar year. The Construction Supervision Fee and the Major Renovation Fee shall each be due and payable periodically, as agreed by Managing Agent and Owners, based on actual costs incurred to date.

(c)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Owners shall reimburse Managing Agent for reasonable travel expenses incurred when traveling to and from the Managed Premises while performing its duties in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that reasonable travel expenses shall not include expenses incurred for travel to and from the Managed Premises by personnel assigned to work exclusively at the Managed Premises.

(d)            Managing Agent shall be entitled to no other additional compensation, whether in the form of commission, bonus or the like for its services under this Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein with respect to payment by Owners of legal fees, accounting fees, salaries, wages, fees and charges of parties hired by Managing Agent on behalf of Owners to perform operating and maintenance functions in the Managed Premises, and the like, if Managing Agent hires third parties to perform services required to be performed hereunder by Managing Agent without additional charge to Owners, Managing Agent shall (except to the extent the same are reasonably attributable to an emergency at the Managed Premises) be responsible for the charges of such third parties.

7.            Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in force and effect until December 31, 2043, and, on December 31 of each year after the effective date of this Agreement (each, an “Extension Date”), the term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended an additional year so that the term of this Agreement thereafter ends on the twentieth anniversary of such Extension Date.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement, or any extension thereof, may be terminated prior to the expiration of the term:

(a)            by the Company (on behalf of itself and Owners), (i) upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Managing Agent (such termination, a “Termination for Convenience”), (ii) for Cause, immediately upon written notice to Managing Agent (such termination, a “Termination for Cause”), (iii) for a Performance Reason, upon written notice to Managing Agent given within sixty (60) days after the end of the calendar year giving rise to such Performance Reason (such termination, a “Termination for Performance”), or (iv) by written notice at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately following the date a Managing Agent Change of Control occurred; or

(b)            by Managing Agent, for Good Reason, upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Company (or ninety (90) days if the Company takes steps to cure any relevant default within thirty (30) days of written notice to the Company).

Any notice of termination shall include the reason for such termination.

In the event of a Termination for Convenience by the Company or a termination by Managing Agent pursuant to Section 7(b), the Company shall pay Managing Agent an amount in cash (the “Full Termination Fee”) equal to the sum of the present values of Monthly Future Fees payable for the Remaining Term, determined by assuming that a Monthly Future Fee is payable for each month in the Remaining Term on the thirtieth (30th) day after the end of that month and calculating for each Monthly Future Fee the present value of that fee by applying a discount rate to that fee equal to one-twelfth (1/12) the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 300 basis points, with monthly periods for discounting.

In the event of a Termination for Performance, the Company shall pay Managing Agent an amount in cash (the “Performance Termination Fee”) equal to the sum of the present values of Monthly Future Fees payable for the first one hundred twenty (120) months of the Remaining Term, determined by assuming that a Monthly Future Fee is payable for each of the first one hundred twenty (120) months in the Remaining Term on the thirtieth (30th) day after the end of that month and calculating for each Monthly Future Fee the present value of that fee by applying a discount rate to that fee equal to one-twelfth (1/12) the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate plus 300 basis points, with monthly periods for discounting. It is expressly understood and agreed that a Termination for Performance and payment of the Performance Termination Fee is the Company’s intended remedy for a Performance Reason.

No Full Termination Fee or Performance Termination Fee shall be payable in the event of termination by the Company pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) (Termination For Cause) or Section 7(a)(iv) (following a Managing Agent Change of Control).

The provisions of this Section 7 shall not apply as a limitation on the amount which may be paid by agreement of the Company and Managing Agent in connection with a transaction pursuant to which any assets or going business values of Managing Agent are acquired by the Company in association with termination of this Agreement and the Full Termination Fee or the Performance Termination Fee, as applicable, is in addition to any amounts otherwise payable to Managing Agent under this Agreement as compensation for services and for expenses of or reimbursement due to Managing Agent through the date of termination.

8.            Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement with respect to any of the Managed Premises for any reason whatsoever, Managing Agent shall as soon as practicable turn over to Owners all books, papers, funds, records, keys and other items relating to the management and operation of such Managed Premises, including, without limitation, all leases in the possession of Managing Agent and shall render to Owners a final accounting with respect thereto through the date of termination. Owners shall be obligated to pay all compensation for services rendered by Managing Agent hereunder prior and up to the effective time of such termination, including, without limitation, any Fees, Construction Supervision Fees and Major Renovation Fees, as applicable, and shall pay and reimburse to Managing Agent all expenses and costs incurred by Managing Agent prior and up to the effective time of such termination which are otherwise payable or reimbursable to Managing Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (collectively, “Accrued Fees”). The amount of such fees paid as compensation pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the annual reconciliation contemplated by Section 6(b) and consistent with past practices in performing such reconciliation.

A computation of all Accrued Fees and of the Termination Fee, if any, due upon termination shall be delivered by Managing Agent to the Company within thirty (30) days following the effective date of termination. The Accrued Fees and, to the extent applicable, the Full Termination Fee or Performance Termination Fee, due upon termination shall be payable within ten (10) business days following the delivery to the Company of such computation.

In addition to other actions on termination of this Agreement, for up to one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of notice of a termination of this Agreement, Managing Agent shall cooperate with the Company and the Owners and use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the orderly transfer of (i) management of the Managed Premises and (ii) Major SL Capital Projects. In connection therewith Managing Agent shall assign to the Company, to one or more Owners, or to their designee(s), as directed by the Company, and the Company, such Owner(s) or their designee(s) shall assume, all contracts entered into by Managing Agent pursuant to this Agreement, but excluding all insurance contracts, and multi- property contracts not limited in scope to the Managed Premises and all contracts with affiliates of Managing Agent. Managing Agent shall also transfer to the Company all proprietary information with respect to the Company and/or the Owners. Additionally, the Company, one or more Owners, or their designee(s) shall have the right to offer employment to any employee of Managing Agent whom Managing Agent proposes to terminate in connection with a Covered Termination and Managing Agent shall cooperate with the Company, such Owners, or their designee(s) in connection therewith.

Assignment of Rights and Obligations.

(a)            Without Owners’ prior written consent, Managing Agent shall not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of or mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or permit or suffer any encumbrance of all or any part of its rights and obligations hereunder, and any transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of an interest herein made or attempted in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffective, and shall not be binding upon Owners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Managing Agent may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement to any subsidiary of Parent so long as such subsidiary is then and remains Controlled by Parent.

(b)            Owners, without Managing Agent’s consent, may not assign their respective rights or delegate their respective obligations hereunder.

10.

Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)            Owners agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Managing Agent from and against all costs, claims, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of Managing Agent’s performance of its duties in accordance with this Agreement including, without limitation, injury or damage to persons or property occurring in, on or about the Managed Premises and violations or alleged violations of any law, ordinance, regulation or order of any governmental authority regarding the Managed Premises except any injury, damage or violation resulting from Managing Agent’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties hereunder.

(b)            Owners and Managing Agent shall maintain such commercially reasonable insurance as shall from time to time be mutually agreed by Owners and Managing Agent.

11.            Notices. Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given on the date of actual delivery, if delivered personally, or on the date of receipt, if sent by overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) to the parties or if sent by email of a .pdf attachment (providing confirmation of transmission) at the following street addresses or email addresses, as applicable (or at such other United States street address or email address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

16.            Governing Law. The provisions of this Agreement and any Dispute (as defined below), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

20.            Survival. Except for Sections 1 through 5 and Section 13, all other provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination hereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party. For purposes of this Section 21, the term “equity interest” shall mean, (i) in respect of the Company, shares of beneficial interest of the Company, (ii) in respect of any other Owner, equity interests in that Owner, (iii) in respect of Managing Agent, “membership interest” in Managing Agent as defined in the Maryland Limited Liability Companies Act and (iv) in respect of Parent, shares of capital stock of Parent.

The arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the parties. If there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one (1) arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the demand for arbitration. The arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be. If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail(s) to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request AAA to provide a list of three (3) proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten (10) days from the date AAA provides the list to select one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA. If the party (or parties) fail(s) to select the second (2nd) arbitrator by that time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first (1st) arbitrator shall then have ten (10) days to select one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second (2nd) arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select the second (2nd) arbitrator by such time, AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators it had proposed as the second (2nd) arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third (3rd) and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second (2nd) arbitrator. If the third (3rd) arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

(d)            There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that there shall be no depositions and no other discovery other than limited documentary discovery as described in the preceding sentence.

(e)            In rendering an award or decision (the “Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Any arbitration proceedings or award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. The Award shall be in writing and shall state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based. Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset. Subject to Section 21(g), each party against which the Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the Award or such other date as the Award may provide.

(f)            Except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the parties thereto, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action, award any portion of the Company’s, Parent’s or Managing Agent’s, as applicable, award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys. Each party (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third (3rd) appointed arbitrator.

(g)            Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Agreement, the Award, including but not limited to, any interim Award, may be appealed pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules (“Appellate Rules”). The Award shall not be considered final until after the time for filing the notice of appeal pursuant to the Appellate Rules has expired. Appeals must be initiated within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Award by filing a notice of appeal with any AAA office. Following the appeal process, the decision rendered by the appeal tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, and despite any contrary provision of the Appellate Rules, Section 21(f) hereof shall apply to any appeal pursuant to this Section and the appeal tribunal shall not render an award that would include shifting of any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any party.

(h)            Following the expiration of the time for filing the notice of appeal, or the conclusion of the appeal process set forth in Section 21(g), the Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between those parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators. Judgment upon the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(i)            This Section 21 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the Company, Owners, Managing Agent, Parent and their respective holders of equity interests, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including Managing Agent or its successor), agents or employees, and their respective successors and assigns and shall be binding upon the Company, Owners, Managing Agent, Parent and their respective holders of equity interests, and be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that such individuals or entities may have by contract or otherwise.

22.            Consent to Jurisdiction and Forum. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue in any action brought by any party hereto pursuant to this Agreement shall lie in any federal or state court located in Baltimore, Maryland. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts for itself and in respect of its property with respect to such action. The parties irrevocably agree that venue would be proper in such court, and hereby waive any objection that such court is an improper or inconvenient forum for the resolution of such action. The parties further agree and consent to the service of any process required by any such court by delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with Section 11 and that any such delivery shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against it, without necessity for service by any other means provided by statute or rule of court. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROVISION OF SERVICES BY MANAGING AGENT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a demand for arbitration of a Dispute is made pursuant to Section 21, this Section 22 shall not pre-empt resolution of the Dispute pursuant to Section 21.

23.            Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any pre-existing agreements with respect to such subject matter.

24.            Other Agreements. The Company and Managing Agent are also parties to a Business Management Agreement, dated as of June 5, 2015, as in effect from time to time (the “Business Management Agreement”). The parties agree that this Agreement does not include or otherwise address the rights and obligations of the parties under the Business Management Agreement and that the Business Management Agreement provides for its own separate rights and obligations of the parties thereto, including without limitation separate compensation payable by the Company to Managing Agent thereunder for services to be provided by the Managing Agent pursuant to the Business Management Agreement.

25.            Effective Time; Non-Consummation of the Merger. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and no provision of this Agreement (other than this Section 25) shall become effective, until the Effective Time, whereupon (A) the amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement contemplated hereby, and all of the remaining provisions hereof, shall come into force and thereafter be effective and (B) the Original Agreement shall be superseded in all respects hereby, and (ii) this Agreement shall terminate automatically, without any further action and without any liability or further obligation, of any party hereto or any of their affiliates if and at such time as the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms, it being agreed that, upon any such termination, the Original Agreement shall automatically continue in full force and effect, and be reinstated hereby, without any further action of any party hereto or any of their affiliates.

If no maturity exactly corresponds to such maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such period shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month.
