Section 3.01. Management Fees. As compensation for the services to be rendered by Manager under this Agreement, Manager shall receive a management fee (“Base Fee”) during the Term equal to three percent (3%) of the Gross Revenues of the Facility and an additional fee (“Incentive Fee”) equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of Net Operating Income after payment of the SNH TRS Priority Return. No amount paid hereunder is intended to be, nor shall it be construed to be, an inducement or payment for referral of patients by either party or any of its Affiliates to the other party or any of its Affiliates. The compensation being paid constitutes the fair market value of the services being provided in light of the costs being incurred and the time, energy, training, expertise and skills required therefor, and is consistent with amounts that would result from arm-length negotiations between unrelated parties.

Section 3.02. Working Capital. Upon execution of this Agreement SNH TRS will advance to Manager, as Working Capital, an amount equal to $1,500, multiplied by the number of units at the Facility. Manager may, from time to time, request SNH TRS to fund additional amounts as Working Capital to pay Facility Expenses and if the parties do not agree on such additional amounts, the matter shall be referred to arbitration.

Section 3.03. Capital Replacements. The cost of all Capital Replacements in an Approved Budget shall be funded by SNH TRS.

Section 3.04. Insufficient Funds. If at any time available Working Capital is insufficient to pay Facility Expenses and SNH TRS has not timely funded additional amounts for such purpose or SNH TRS has not timely funded Capital Replacements, Manager shall have no obligation to advance its own funds therefor and is relieved of any obligation to pay Facility

Expenses or the cost of Capital Replacements to such extent. If Manager does advance its own funds, at such time as SNH TRS advances funds to reimburse Manager, whether by agreement or pursuant to an Award, SNH TRS shall pay Manager interest on such amounts at the Interest Rate from the date of Manager’s advance of funds to the date of reimbursement. If the Award includes interest, SNH TRS shall be entitled to offset such interest against its obligation under this Section 3.04.

ARTICLE IV
MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Section 4.01. Authority of Manager and Management Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Manager shall have discretion and control, free from interference, interruption or disturbance from SNH TRS or those claiming by, through or under SNH TRS, in all matters relating to the day-to-day management and operation of the Facility. Such discretion and control shall include the authority to negotiate and execute contracts its own name, in the name of and on behalf of SNH TRS and/or the Facility, in each case, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

the desired result of qualifying Owner’s rental income from SNH TRS under the Lease as “rents from real property” pursuant to Sections 856(d)(2), 856(d)(8)(B) and 856(d)(9) of the Code.

(b) Manager shall not own, directly or indirectly or constructively (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the shares of Senior Housing Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust, whether by vote, value or number of shares, and Manager shall otherwise comply with any regulations or other administrative or judicial guidance existing under said Section 856(d)(5) of the Code with respect to such ownership limits; Manager shall cause its ultimate parent, Five Star Quality Care, Inc. to enforce the restrictions in its charter documents regarding five percent (5%) or greater owners;

(c) Manager shall be actively engaged (or shall, within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(F) of the Code, be related to a person that is so actively engaged) in the trade or business of operating “qualified health care property” (defined below) for a person who is not a “related person” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(F) of the Code with respect to Owner or SNH TRS. For these purposes, the parties agree that the activities, as of the date of this Agreement, of Manager’s affiliate, FSQ, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a related person as to Manager within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(F) of the Code, including in particular the six management contracts pursuant to which FSQ, Inc. has been and is formally engaged as manager by other affiliates (but not subsidiaries) of Manager, render Manager in compliance with the previous sentence.

such real property, which is a “health care facility” described in Section 856(e)(6)(D)(ii) or is necessary or incidental to the use of a health care facility. A “health care facility” means: a hospital; a nursing facility; an assisted living facility; a congregate care facility; a qualified continuing care facility; or another licensed facility which extends medical or nursing or ancillary services to patients and which is operated by a provider of such services eligible for participation in the Medicare program under title XVIII of the Social Security Act with respect to such facility; and

(e) Manager, without the prior consent of SNH TRS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall not permit or suffer:

(i) Manager to fail to continue as a corporation under state law and taxable under the Code as an association;

(ii) Manager’s affiliate FSQ, Inc., a Delaware corporation, to fail to be a corporation under state law and taxable under the Code as an association; or

(iii) for so long as Owner or SNH TRS or any Affiliate of Owner or SNH TRS shall seek to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code, Manager to be reorganized, restructured, combined, merged or amalgamated with any Affiliate (as to Manager) in such manner that any such Affiliate would, or could, be expected to adversely affect (including, e.g., by application of any Person’s actual “disregarded entity” status under the Code) the status that Manager has as a Code Section 856(d)(9)(A) “eligible independent contractor” at a “qualified health care property” owned or leased by Owner or SNH TRS.

Section 8.04. Adverse Regulatory Event.

(a) In the event of an Adverse Regulatory Event arising from or in connection with this Agreement, SNH TRS and Manager shall work together in good faith to amend this Agreement to eliminate the impact of such Adverse Regulatory Event; provided, however, Manager shall have no obligation to materially reduce its rights or materially increase its obligations under this Agreement, all taken as a whole, or to bear any out-of-pocket costs or expenses under this Section 8.04. Manager shall not be liable if any such amendment, once operative, fails to have the desired result of eliminating the impact of an Adverse Regulatory Event.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Adverse Regulatory Event” means any time that a new law, statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation or an administrative or judicial ruling imposes, or could impose in Owner’s or SNH TRS’s reasonable opinion, any material threat to Senior Housing Property Trust’s status as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code or to the treatment of amounts paid to Owner under the Lease as “rents from real property” under Section 856(d) of the Code.

Any disagreement regarding the necessity of taking such remedial action and/or the funding of the cost thereof that is not resolved by the parties within ten (10) Business Days shall be resolved by arbitration.

Section 10.03. Liens.

If, as a result of partial destruction or partial Condemnation, the Facility is not rendered Unsuitable for Use, SNH TRS shall (or shall cause the Owner to) make the insurance proceeds or award received by SNH and/or Owner available to Manager as necessary to repair or restore the destroyed or untaken portion of the Facility to the same condition as existed previously, provided Manager shall have the right to discontinue operating all or a portion of the Facility pending completion of the repairs or restoration as necessary to comply with Legal Requirements or for the safe and orderly operation of the Facility.

If the cost of repair or restoration is less than the insurance proceeds or award received by SNH TRS and/or Owner, SNH TRS shall (or shall cause the Owner to) make available the funds necessary to permit the Facility or the untaken portion to be repaired and restored. If the cost of the repair or restoration exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds or award, Manager shall give notice to SNH TRS and Owner setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such deficiency, and SNH TRS and Owner shall promptly advise Manager whether SNH TRS and/or Owner will fund the deficiency. If neither SNH TRS nor Owner elect to fund the deficiency, Manager may terminate this Agreement by notice to SNH TRS.

Any obligation of SNH and/or Owner to make funds available to Manager to repair or restore the Facility is subject to the requirements of any Mortgage.

Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 10.05 to the contrary, if partial destruction or a partial Condemnation occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term (including any renewal) and if full repair and restoration would not reasonably be expected to be completed prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to the end of the Term (including any renewal), the provisions of this Section 10.05 shall apply as if the Facility had been rendered Unsuitable for Use.

(a) Any disputes, claims or controversies between the parties (i) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or (ii) brought by or on behalf of any shareholder of any party or a direct or indirect parent of a party (which, for purposes of this Section 15.02, shall mean any shareholder of record or any beneficial owner of shares of any party, or any former shareholder of record or beneficial owner of shares of any party), either on his, her or its own behalf, on behalf of any party or on behalf of any series or class of shares of any party or shareholders of any party against any party or any member, trustee, officer, manager (including Reit Management & Research LLC or its successor), agent or employee of any party, including disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, including this arbitration provision, or the declarations of trust, limited liability company agreements or bylaws of any party hereto (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”), or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes shall, on the demand of any party to such Dispute be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except as those Rules may be modified in this Section

15.02. For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are intended to include derivative actions against trustees, officers or managers of any party and class actions by a shareholder against those individuals or entities and any party. For the avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party. For purposes of this Article XIV, the term “party” shall include any direct or indirect parent of a party.

(b) There shall be three arbitrators. If there are only two parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration. Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties. If there are more than two 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 arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration. Such 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 to timely select an arbitrator then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three 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 days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one of the three arbitrators proposed by AAA. If such party (or parties) fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first arbitrator shall then have ten days to select one of the three arbitrators proposed by AAA to be the second arbitrator; and, if he/they should fail to select such arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one of the three arbitrators it had proposed as the second arbitrator. The two arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If the third arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the 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.

(e) In rendering an award or decision (the “Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 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 may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based.

(f) Except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the parties, 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 a party’s award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys. Each party (or, if there are more than two 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 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 appointed arbitrator.

(g) An Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such 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.

(h) Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset. Each party against which the Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the 30th day following the date of the Award or such other date as the Award may provide.

(i) This Section 15.02 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the shareholders, members, direct and indirect parents, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including Reit Management & Research LLC or its successor), agents or employees of any party and the parties and shall be binding on the shareholders of any party and the parties, as applicable, and shall 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.

Section 15.03. Consent to Jurisdiction and Forum. This Section 15.03 is subject to, and shall not in any way limit the application of, Section 15.02; in case of any conflict between this Section 15.03 and Section 15.02, Section 15.02 shall govern. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 15.02, 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 Boston, Massachusetts. 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 17.01 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.

Section 15.04. Standard of Care. Manager shall discharge its duties in good faith, and agrees to exercise, with respect to all services provided by Manager under this Agreement, a standard of care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then existing as is consistent with the prevailing practices of institutional property managers that manage properties comparable to the Facility in the same market and in no event with less care, skill, prudence or diligence as Manager would customarily utilize in the conduct of its business, and as is necessary to comply with all Legal Requirements.

Section 15.05. Indemnity. In any action, proceeding or claim brought or asserted by a third party, Manager will defend, indemnify and hold SNH TRS (and any of its Affiliates, their respective directors, trustees, officers, shareholders, employees and agents) harmless from and against any claims, losses, expenses, costs, suits, actions, proceedings, demands or liabilities that are asserted against, or sustained or incurred by them because of Manager’s breach of any material term of this Agreement, or arising from Manager’s failure to act or not act in accordance with SNH TRS’s reasonable instructions or gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, except to the extent caused by SNH TRS’s breach of any material term of this Agreement, gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. SNH TRS will defend, indemnify, and hold Manager (and any of its Affiliates, their respective directors, trustees, officers, shareholders, employees and agents) harmless, from and against any and all claims, expenses, costs, suits, actions, proceedings, demands, or liabilities that are asserted against, or sustained or incurred by them in connection with the performance of Manager’s duties under this Agreement or otherwise while acting within the scope of the agency established by the parties to this Agreement and in accordance with Section 15.04, or in the case of an action, proceeding or claim brought or asserted by a third party against any of them as a result of SNH TRS’s breach of any material term of this Agreement, violation of Legal Requirements, instructions to Manager to act or not act with respect to the relevant matter or gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, except to the extent caused by Manager’s breach of any material term of this Agreement, failure to act or not act in accordance with SNH TRS’s reasonable instructions, gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. The scope of the foregoing indemnities includes any and all costs and expenses properly incurred in connection with any proceedings to defend any indemnified claim, or to enforce the indemnity, or both. Recovery upon an indemnity contained in this Agreement shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by any applicable insurance collected by the indemnified party with respect to the claims covered by such indemnity. The parties obligations under this Section shall survive the Termination.

Section 15.06. Limitation of Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no shareholder, member, officer, director, trustee, employee or agent of any party to this Agreement (and of any Affiliate of such party that is not a party to this Agreement) shall have any personal liability with respect to the liabilities or obligations of such party under this Agreement or any document executed by such party pursuant to this Agreement.
