Section 1.4 Waiver of Notice; Calculation of Fees. Advisor and Company each hereby waives any notice of termination requirement, whether set forth in the Advisory Agreements, any other contract between Company or REIT II, on the one hand, and Advisor, on the other hand, or any of its Affiliates or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Advisory Agreements to the contrary, Advisor shall also be entitled to all unpaid fees and unreimbursed expenses under the Advisory Agreements, incurred in the ordinary course of business for the period up to the Closing as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreements; provided, that Advisor shall have remitted invoices for all such fees and expenses prior to the Closing Date.

(b) All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in a Maryland state or federal court located in Baltimore City. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, for the purpose of any dispute based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party, (ii) agrees not to commence any such dispute except in such courts, (iii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such dispute may be heard and determined only in such courts, (iv) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute in such courts, and (v) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such dispute in such courts.
