WHEREAS, Select has determined that, in furtherance of certain of its business objectives and priorities, it is in the best interest of Select to terminate the Management Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, Select has undertaken an evaluation of the Services that have been provided by the Management Provider pursuant to the Management Agreement between the date of commencement of the Management Agreement and the date hereof;

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Management Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 











 

1.                                      Termination of the Management Agreement.  Effective as of December 29, 2017 (the “Effective Date”) and upon payment of the Termination Payment, the Parties agree that the Management Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof, with no further liability (of any nature) arising for Select or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such Management Agreement.

 

2.                                      Release.  Effective as of the Effective Date, each Party does hereby forever release, discharge and acquit the other Party of and from any and all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, indebtedness, responsibilities, disputes, breaches of contract, breaches of duty or any relationship, acts, omissions, cause or causes of action (whether at law or in equity), debts, sums of money, accounts, compensations, contracts, controversies, promises, damages, costs, rights of offset, losses and expenses, of every type, kind, nature, description or character (“Claims”), whatsoever arising out of the Management Agreement or any acts or omissions of the other Party to the Management Agreement, occurring at any time before or after the date hereof, which in any way arise out of, are connected with or relate to the Management Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall not release, discharge or acquit any Party from any Claim other than Claims arising under the Management Agreement.

 

3.                                      Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                 Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement and all covenants and agreements contained herein and rights, interests or obligations hereunder, by or on behalf of any Party, shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties.
