    1

     

    

 

Subject to the terms of any Share Agreement, a
holder of Shares granted under the Plan, whether or not vested, shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including
the right to vote the Shares and the right to receive any distributions, unless the Board shall otherwise determine. Certificates representing
Shares or statements representing Shares in book-entry form may be imprinted with a legend to the effect that the Shares represented may
not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except in accordance with the terms of the Securities
Act and the applicable Share Agreement, if any. In addition, the Company may hold the certificates representing Shares pending lapse of
any applicable vesting, forfeiture, repurchase, transfer or similar restrictions.

 

		IV.	METHOD OF GRANTING SHARES

 

Grants of Shares to any Key Person shall be made
by action of the Board, which shall have the sole discretion (subject to the terms of the Plan) to select persons to whom Shares are to
be granted, the amount and timing of each such grant, the extent, if any, to which vesting restrictions or other conditions shall apply
to the award and all other terms and conditions of any award (which terms and conditions need not be the same as between recipients or
awards). If a person to whom such a grant of Shares has been made fails to execute and deliver to the Company a Share Agreement within
ten (10) days after it is submitted to him, her or them, the grant of Shares related to such Share Agreement may be cancelled by
the Company, acting by the Board, at its option and in its discretion without further notice to the Participant. Nothing in this Section IV
shall prevent the Board from delegating its authority to make grants to a committee pursuant to Section V.

 

		V.	ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

 

The Plan shall be administered by the Board or,
in the discretion of the Board, a committee of the Board designated by the Board and composed of at least two (1) members of the
Board. All references in the Plan to the Board shall be understood to refer to such committee or the Board, whichever shall be administering
the Plan from time to time. All questions of interpretation and application of the Plan and of grants of Shares shall be determined by
the Board in its sole discretion and the Board shall have the authority to do all things necessary to carry out the purposes of the Plan,
and its determinations shall be final and binding upon all persons, including the Company and all Participants. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Board is authorized to: (i) adopt and approve from time to time the forms and, subject to the terms of the
Plan, the terms and conditions of any Share Agreement; (ii) make adjustments to awards in response to changes in applicable laws,
regulations or accounting principles; and (iii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan. If
it determines to do so, the Board may grant Shares under this Plan that are not subject to vesting, forfeiture, repurchase and transfer
restrictions.

 

For so long as Section 16 of the Exchange
Act is applicable to the Company, each member of any committee designated to administer the Plan shall qualify as a “non-employee
director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and its composition shall comply with all other applicable
legal requirements.

 

With respect to persons subject to Section 16
of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of
Rule 16b-3 or its successor under the Exchange Act.

 

		VI.	ELIGIBLE PERSONS

 

The persons eligible to receive grants of Shares
shall be those persons selected by the Board in its discretion from among Key Persons who contribute to the business of the Company and
its subsidiaries, if any.

 

		VII.	CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

 

In the event of any stock dividend or other similar
distribution (whether in the form of stock or other securities), stock split or combination of shares (including a reverse stock split),
conversion, reorganization, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, merger, exchange of stock, extraordinary cash dividend or
other similar transaction or event, the Board shall make adjustments to the maximum number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan
under Article III and Article IV and shall also make appropriate adjustments to the number and kind of shares of stock, securities
or other property (including cash) subject to awards then outstanding under the Plan affected by such change and to the other terms and
conditions of such awards. No fractional Shares shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any
such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole Share.

 

    2

     

    

 

		VIII.	EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

 

The Plan shall be effective at the close of business
on May 27, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), subject to its approval by the Company’s shareholders. Shares may be granted
under the Plan from time to time until the close of business on May 27, 2031. Awards outstanding at Plan termination shall remain
in effect according to their terms and the provisions of the Plan. The Board hereafter may at any time amend or terminate the terms of
an award or the Plan in any respect; provided that (without limiting Article VII hereof) the Board may not, without the affected
Participant’s consent, amend or terminate the terms of an award or the Plan so as to affect adversely the Participant’s rights
under an outstanding award. Any amendments to the Plan shall be conditioned upon shareholder approval only to the extent, if any, such
approval is required by applicable law or listing requirements.

 

		IX.	MISCELLANEOUS

 

		A.	Nonassignability of Shares. Shares subject to a Share Agreement shall not be assignable or transferable by a Participant except
in accordance with the terms of the applicable Share Agreement or as may be permitted by the Board.

 

		B.	No Guarantee of Employment. Neither the award of Shares nor a Share Agreement shall give any person the right to continue in
the employment or service of, or to continue to act as an officer or Trustee of, or to serve in any other capacity with, the Company,
any subsidiary or the Manager or The RMR Group LLC or any affiliate of the Manager or The RMR Group LLC.

 

		C.	Tax Withholding; Section 409A. To the extent required by law, the Company shall withhold or cause to be withheld income
and other taxes incurred by a Participant by reason of a grant of Shares, and, as a condition to the receipt of any grant of Shares, a
Participant agrees that if the amount payable to him, her or them by the Company in the ordinary course is insufficient to pay such taxes,
he, she or they shall, upon request of the Company, pay the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy its tax withholding obligations. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Board may in its discretion permit any Participant’s withholding obligation to be paid in whole or in
part in the form of Shares, by withholding from the Shares to be issued to such Participant or by accepting delivery of Shares already
owned by him, her or them. The fair market value of the Shares for this purpose shall be the closing price of the Shares on the principal
securities exchange on which the Shares are listed on the date such Shares are repurchased by the Company, unless otherwise determined
by the Board in its discretion. If payment of withholding taxes is made in whole or in part in Shares, the Participant shall deliver to
the Company share certificates registered in his, her or their name or other evidence of legal and beneficial ownership of Shares owned
by him, her or them, fully vested and free of all liens, claims and encumbrances of every kind, duly endorsed or accompanied by stock
powers duly endorsed by the record holder of the Shares represented by such share certificates. If the Participant is subject to Section 16(a) of
the Exchange Act, his, her or their ability to pay the withholding obligation in the form of Shares shall be subject to such additional
restrictions as may be necessary to avoid any transaction that might give rise to liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act. It is intended that awards granted under the Plan be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code, and the Plan and
such awards shall be construed in accordance with that intention.

 

		D.	Conditions to Issuance. The issuance of Shares under the Plan is subject to compliance with (1) the laws, rules and
regulations of all public agencies and authorities applicable to the issuance and distribution of Shares and (2) the listing rules of
any stock exchange or national market system on which the Shares are listed.

 

    3

     

    

 

		E.	No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Board shall determine whether
cash, other awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any
rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

 

		F.	Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland
applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein, without reference to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

 

		G.	Change in Control. Each unvested Share under the Plan immediately prior to the occurrence of a “Change in Control”
or a “Termination Event” shall become fully vested upon the occurrence of the Change in Control or Termination Event, as each
term is defined below.

 

A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred
if any of the events set forth in any one of the following paragraphs shall have occurred:

 

(a) any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly
or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of either the then outstanding common shares of beneficial interest
of the Company or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities, excluding any Person who becomes such
a Beneficial Owner in connection with a transaction described in paragraph (c)(i) below;

 

(b) the following individuals cease for any reason to
constitute a majority of the number of Trustees then serving: individuals who, on the Effective Date, constitute the Board and any new
Trustee (other than a Trustee whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including
but not limited to a consent solicitation, relating to the election of Trustees) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination
for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Trustees then
in office who either were Trustees on the Effective Date or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved
or recommended;

 

(c) there is consummated a merger or consolidation of
the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other entity, other than (i) a merger or consolidation which
would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent
(either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) at least
50% of the combined voting power of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately
after such merger or consolidation, or (ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or
similar transaction) in which no Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not
including in the securities Beneficially Owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its Affiliates) representing
50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

 

(d)  the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of
complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of
all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of
the Company’s assets to an entity, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by shareholders
of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
a transaction involving the Company and an Excluded Entity (or Affiliate) in which the award of Shares is to be assumed by the successor
(or replaced by a substantially equivalent award) shall not constitute a Change in Control.

 

    4

     

    

 

A “Termination Event” shall occur if Tremont Realty
Advisors LLC (or any entity controlled by, under common control with or controlling Tremont Realty Advisors LLC) ceases to be the manager
or shared services provider to the Company.

 

For purposes of the defined terms used in this Section IX.G.,
but not previously defined in the Plan, the following definitions shall apply:

 

“Affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in
Rule 12b-2 promulgated under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

 

“Beneficial Owner” shall have the meaning set forth
in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.

 

“Excluded Entity” shall mean any entity to which
The RMR Group LLC (or any entity controlled by, under common control with or controlling The RMR Group LLC) provides management, advisory
or shared services.

 

“Person” shall have the meaning given in Section 3(a)(9) of
the Exchange Act, as modified and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, except that such term shall not include (i) the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company
or any of its Affiliates, (iii) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities and (iv) a
corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership
of shares of the Company.
