Section 4.2                                    INC Charter, Board and Board Committees.  After the date of this Agreement and prior to the filing of the Form S-1, INC and REIT will discuss the advisability of including ownership limitations in INC’s charter comparable to those in REIT’s declaration of trust and will amend INC’s charter, if necessary.  Immediately prior to the time that the Form S-1 is declared effective under the Securities Act, (i) the Board of Directors of INC (the “INC Board”) shall be expanded to include not less than three (3) Independent Directors (the identity and qualifications of which shall have been previously approved by the independent trustees of REIT, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (ii) the INC Board shall establish audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees thereof which comply with the Exchange Act and the listing requirements of any national securities exchange on which the Class A Common Stock has then been approved for listing.  Thereafter changes to the composition of INC Board and the committees thereof shall be made in accordance with INC’s organizational documents, as then in effect.

 

Section 4.3                                    Distribution.

 

(a)                                 As promptly as practicable following the time that the Form S-1 is declared effective under the Securities Act, REIT shall use reasonable best efforts to declare a pro rata distribution to holders of REIT Common Shares approximately half of the Subject Class A Shares received pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above (such distribution, the “Distribution,” and the shares to be distributed, the “Distribution Shares”).  REIT shall cooperate in good faith with INC and the Other REITs in choosing a distribution agent (the “Distribution Agent”) and establishing a record date and distribution date for the Distribution such that the record dates and distribution dates for the distributions of shares of Class A Common Stock to be made by REIT and by the Other REITs pursuant to the Other REIT Transaction Agreements are as close in time as practicable to each other and to the effective date of the Form S-1.

 

(b)                                 REIT shareholders holding a number of REIT Common Shares on the Distribution record date, which would entitle such shareholders to receive less than one whole Distribution Share in the Distribution, will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Fractional Distribution Shares will not be distributed in the Distribution nor credited to book-entry accounts.  The Distribution Agent shall, as soon as practicable after the Distribution date (i) determine the number of whole and fractional Distribution Shares allocable to each holder of record or beneficial owner of REIT Common Shares as of close of business on the Distribution record date, (ii) aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby in open market transactions, in each case, at the then prevailing trading prices on behalf of holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share interests and (iii) distribute to each such holder, or for the benefit of each such beneficial owner, such holder

or owner’s ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per Distribution Share after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld for tax purposes and any brokerage fees incurred in connection with these sales of fractional shares.  None of REIT, INC or the Distribution Agent will guarantee any minimum resale price for the fractional Distribution Shares.  INC will not pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares.  The Distribution Agent acting on behalf of REIT will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares.

 

Section 4.4                                    Exchange Listing.  INC shall use its best efforts to have the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock (including the Distribution Shares) approved for listing on a national securities exchange, as defined under the Exchange Act, on or prior to the earliest distribution date.

 

Section 4.5                                    Transfer Agent.  INC shall use its best efforts to provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same entity) for the Distribution Shares and obtain a CUSIP number for the Class A Common Stock, in each case, no later than the effective date of the Form S-1.

If any indemnified party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of an indemnifiable loss for which indemnification is provided in this Agreement after the full amount of such indemnifiable loss has been paid by an indemnifying party or after an indemnifying party has made a partial payment of such indemnifiable loss and the amount received from the third party exceeds the remaining unpaid balance of such indemnifiable loss, then the indemnified party shall promptly remit to the indemnifying party the excess of (i) the sum of the amount theretofore paid by such indemnifying party in respect of such indemnifiable loss plus the amount received from the third party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of such Covered Liabilities.

This Agreement and the Transaction Documents (including the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement and in any Transaction Document) constitute the entire agreement of the Parties and supersede all prior agreements, arrangements or understandings, whether written or oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

 

Section 7.5                                    Governing Law; Venue; Arbitration.

 

(a)                                 Governing Law.  This Agreement and any Dispute, 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.

 

(b)                                 Venue.  Each Party agrees that it shall bring any Proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transactions exclusively in the courts of the State of Maryland and the Federal courts of the United States, in each case, located in the City of Baltimore (the “Chosen Courts”).  Solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement or the Transactions, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) agrees not to commence any such Proceeding except in such courts, (iii) 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 Proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Proceeding and (v) agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such Proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 7.1.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.  A final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.  EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a demand for arbitration of a Dispute is made pursuant to Section 7.5(c), this Section 7.5(b) shall not pre-empt resolution of the Dispute pursuant to Section 7.5(c).

 

(c)                                  Arbitration.

 

(i)                                     Any disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any Transaction Document or the Transactions, including any disputes, claims or controversies brought by or on behalf of a Party or any holder of equity interests (which, for purposes of this Section 7.5(c), shall mean any holder of record or any beneficial owner of equity interests, or any former holder of record or beneficial owner of equity interests) of a Party, either on his, her or its own behalf, on behalf of a Party or on behalf of any series or class of equity interests of a Party or holders of equity interests of a Party against a Party or any of their respective trustees, directors, members, officers, managers, agents or employees, including any disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, including this arbitration agreement, any Transaction Document or the Transactions or the governing documents of a Party, (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”) or relating in any way to 

 

21











 

such a Dispute or Disputes shall, on the demand of any party to such Dispute or Disputes, 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 7.5(c).  For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are intended to include derivative actions against the trustees, directors, officers or managers of a Party and class actions by a holder of equity interests against those individuals or entities and a 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 Section 7.5(c), the term “equity interest” shall mean, (i) in respect of INC, shares of capital stock of INC, (ii) in respect of LLC, “membership interest” in LLC as defined in the Maryland Limited Liability Companies Act and (iii) in respect of REIT and TRUST, shares of beneficial interest of REIT and TRUST, respectively.

 

(ii)                                  There shall be three (3) arbitrators.  If there are only two (2) parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one (1) arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration.  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.

 

(iii)                               The place of arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed by the parties.  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.

 

22











 

(iv)                              In rendering an award or decision (the “Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the Laws of the State of Maryland.  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 Dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset.  Subject to Section 7.5(c)(vi), 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.

 

(v)                                 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 a party’s 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.

 

(vi)                              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 7.5(c)(v) 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.

 

(vii)                           Following the expiration of the time for filing the notice of appeal, or the conclusion of the appeal process set forth in Section 7.5(c)(vi), 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.

 

(viii)                        This Section 7.5(c) is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the 

 

23











 

Parties, the parties to the Transaction Documents and their respective holders of equity interests, trustees, directors, officers, managers, members, agents or employees and their respective successors and assigns, shall be binding upon all such parties 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.

 

Section 7.6                                    Severability.  This Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law.  If at any time subsequent to the date hereof, any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document is determined by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy in any respect, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible given the intent of the Parties or the parties thereto.

 

Section 7.7                                    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission), it being understood that each Party need not sign the same counterpart.

 

Section 7.8                                    Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly contemplated hereby or by any Transaction Document, each Party shall bear its own reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the Closing.

 

Section 7.9                                    Waivers and Amendments.  This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, cancelled, renewed or extended, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by the Parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the Party waiving compliance.  No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver of the part of any Party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement.  The rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Party otherwise may have at Law or in equity.

 

Section 7.10                             Certain Remedies.

 

(a)                                 Specific Performance.  The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or of any other agreement among them with respect to the Transactions were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other applicable remedies at Law or equity, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, without proof of damages, to prevent breaches of this Agreement or of any other agreement between them with respect to the Transactions and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

24











 

(b)                                 No Consequential Damages.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor, against any other Party and its respective affiliates, members, members’ affiliates, officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, attorneys and agents on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on Contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or of any other agreement between them with respect to the Transactions.

 

Section 7.11                             Further Assurances.
