Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the engagement of RBC Capital Markets Corporation (“RBC”) to advise and assist the undersigned (together with its affiliates and subsidiaries, referred to as the “Company”) with the matters set forth in the Incentive Fee Agreement dated May __, 2007 between the Company and RBC (the “Agreement”), in the event that RBC becomes subject to any claim, suit, action, proceeding, investigation or inquiry (including, without limitation, any shareholder or derivative action or arbitration proceeding) (collectively, a “Proceeding”) in connection with any matter in any way relating to or referred to in the Agreement or arising out of the matters contemplated by the Agreement (other than those services provided under the Purchase Agreement), including, without limitation, related services and activities prior to the date of the Agreement (other than those services provided under the Purchase Agreement), the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold RBC harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in connection with any matter in any way relating to or referred to in the Agreement or arising out of the matters contemplated by the Agreement, including, without limitation, related services and activities prior to the date of the Agreement (other than those services provided under the Purchase Agreement), except to the extent that it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulted solely from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of RBC. In addition, in the event that RBC becomes involved in any capacity in any Proceeding in connection with any matter in any way relating to or referred to in the Agreement or arising out of the matters contemplated by the Agreement, including, without limitation, related services and activities prior to the date of the Agreement (other than those services provided under the Purchase Agreement), the Company will reimburse RBC for its reasonable and documented legal and other expenses incurred in connection therewith. If such indemnification were not to be available for any reason, the Company agrees to contribute to the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses involved (i) in the proportion appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received or sought to be received by the Company and its stockholders and affiliates, on the one hand, and RBC, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) or (ii) if (but only if and to the extent) the allocation provided for in clause (i) is for any reason held unenforceable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and its stockholders and affiliates, on the one hand, and the party entitled to contribution, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The Company agrees that for the purposes of this paragraph the relative benefits received, or sought to be received, by the Company and its stockholders and affiliates, on the one hand, and the party entitled to contribution, on the other hand, of a transaction as contemplated shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by RBC, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement); provided, that in no event shall the Company contribute less than the amount necessary to assure that RBC is not liable for losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in excess of the amount of fees actually received by RBC pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. Relative fault shall be

determined by reference to, among other things, whether any alleged untrue statement or omission or any other alleged conduct relates to information provided by the Company or other conduct by the Company (or its employees or other agents), on the one hand, or by RBC, on the other hand. The Company will not settle any Proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, whether or not RBC is an actual or potential party to such Proceeding, without RBC’s prior written consent. For purposes of this Indemnification Agreement, RBC shall include RBC Capital Markets Corporation, any of its affiliates, each other person, if any, controlling RBC or any of its affiliates, their respective officers, current and former directors, employees and agents, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons. The foregoing indemnity and contribution agreement shall be in addition to any rights that any indemnified party may have at common law or otherwise.

The Company will not be liable to RBC for any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arising from the sale of securities by RMR Asia Real Estate Fund to any person if a copy of a prospectus required to be delivered in connection with such sale which has been furnished to the Underwriters of the offering of the securities (within a reasonable amount of time prior to such sale) shall not have been sent, mailed or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such securities to such person, but only if and to the extent that such prospectus, if so sent or delivered, would have cured the defect giving rise to, and been a complete defense against the person asserting, such loss, claim, damage or liability.

The Company agrees that neither RBC nor any of its affiliates, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall have any liability to the Company or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company in connection with or as a result of either RBC’s engagement under the Agreement or any matter referred to in the Agreement, including, without limitation, related services and activities prior to the date of the Agreement (other than those services provided under the Purchase Agreement), except to the extent that it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Company resulted solely from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of RBC in performing the services that are the subject of the Agreement.

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR DISPUTE OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (“CLAIM”), DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, NO CLAIM MAY BE COMMENCED, PROSECUTED OR CONTINUED IN ANY COURT OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WHICH COURTS SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OVER THE ADJUDICATION OF SUCH MATTERS, AND THE COMPANY AND RBC CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND PERSONAL SERVICE WITH RESPECT THERETO. THE COMPANY HEREBY CONSENTS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION, SERVICE AND VENUE IN ANY COURT IN WHICH ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IS BROUGHT BY ANY THIRD PARTY AGAINST RBC OR ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY. EACH OF RBC AND THE COMPANY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING OR CLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. THE COMPANY AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY PROCEEDING OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND BINDING UPON THE COMPANY AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER COURTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF WHICH THE COMPANY IS OR MAY BE SUBJECT, BY SUIT UPON SUCH JUDGMENT.

The foregoing Indemnification Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any termination of the Agreement. This Indemnification Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

	Very truly yours,
