8. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISER.
(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall (i) prevent the Adviser or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees from engaging in other businesses or from rendering services of any kind to any other Person or entity, whether or not the investment objectives or policies of any such other Person or entity are similar to those of the Company, including, without limitation, the sponsoring, advising or managing of any Other Accounts, (ii) in any way bind or restrict the Adviser or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees from buying, selling or trading any securities or commodities for their own accounts or for the account of others for whom the Adviser or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees may be acting, or (iii) prevent the Adviser or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees from receiving fees or other compensation or profits from such activities described in this Section 8(a) which shall be for the sole benefit of the Adviser (or its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees). While information and recommendations supplied to the Company shall, in the Adviser’s reasonable and good faith judgment, be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the investment objectives and policies of the Company, such information and recommendations may be different in certain material respects from the information and recommendations supplied by the Adviser or any Affiliate of the Adviser to others (including, for greater certainty, the Other Accounts and their investors, as described more fully in Section 8(b)).
(b) The Adviser, the Operating Partnership and the Company acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Adviser and Affiliates of the Adviser sponsor, advise or manage Other Accounts and may in the future sponsor, advise or manage additional Other Accounts, (ii) the Adviser or its Affiliate shall have the duty to first offer (such offer, a “First Look Offer”) to the Company any student housing investment that meets the investment criteria set forth in the Investment Guidelines (excluding development investments and on-campus student housing investments), subject to any equivalent duty the Adviser or its Affiliate has to any Other Account, (iii) with respect to Other Accounts with investment objectives or guidelines that overlap with the Company’s for which the Adviser or its Affiliate has a contractual duty to provide the same First Look Offer, the Adviser and its Affiliates will apply a time-based rotational priority among the Company and such Other Accounts in accordance with Core Spaces’ prevailing policies and procedures and (iv) for all other investment opportunities not subject to the First Look Offer, the Adviser and its Affiliates will allocate such investment opportunities between the Company and Other Accounts in accordance with Core Spaces’ prevailing policies and procedures on a basis that the Adviser and its Affiliates determine to be reasonable to the Company and such Other Accounts in their sole discretion and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to be fair and equitable, and there may be circumstances where investments that are consistent with the Company’s Investment Guidelines may be shared with or allocated to one or more Other Accounts (in lieu of the Company) in accordance with Core Spaces’ prevailing policies and procedures. If an investment is allocated based on the aforementioned procedures (including, without limitation, a rotation policy), the Adviser shall have the opportunity to accept such allocation on behalf of the Company, or may elect to not pursue the investment. If the Adviser elects not to pursue the investment, the Company shall have no further rights with respect to the investment.
(c) In connection with the services of the Adviser hereunder, the Company and the Board acknowledge and agree that (i) as part of Core Spaces’ regular businesses, personnel of the Adviser and its Affiliates will devote a substantial amount of their working time and resources to other projects and matters (including with respect to one or more Other Accounts), and that conflicts may arise with respect to the allocation of personnel between the Company and one or more Other Accounts or the Adviser and such other Affiliates, (ii) unless prohibited by the Declaration of Trust, Other Accounts may invest, from time to time, in investments in which the Company also invests (including at a different level of an issuer’s capital structure (e.g., an investment by an Other Account in a debt or mezzanine interest with respect to the same portfolio entity in which the Company owns an equity interest or vice versa) or in a different tranche of equity or debt with respect to an issuer in which the Company has an interest) and while Core Spaces will seek to resolve any such conflicts in a fair and reasonable manner in accordance with its prevailing policies and procedures with respect to conflicts resolution among Other Accounts generally, such transactions are not required to be presented to the Board or any committee thereof for approval
9
(unless otherwise required by the Declaration of Trust or Investment Guidelines), and there can be no assurance that any conflicts will be resolved in the Company’s favor, (iii) the Company will from time to time pay fees to the Adviser and its Affiliates, including portfolio entities of Other Accounts, for providing various services described in the Memorandum (collectively, “Services”), which fees will be in addition to the compensation paid to the Adviser pursuant to Section 10 hereof, (iv) the Adviser and its Affiliates will from time to time receive fees from portfolio entities or other issuers for providing Services, including with respect to Other Accounts and related portfolio entities, and while such fees will give rise to conflicts of interest the Company will not receive the benefit of any such fees, and (v) the terms and conditions of the governing agreements of such Other Accounts (including with respect to the economic, reporting, and other rights afforded to investors in such Other Accounts) are materially different from the terms and conditions applicable to the Company and the Shareholders, and neither the Company nor the Shareholders (in such capacity) shall have the right to receive the benefit of any such different terms applicable to investors in such Other Accounts as a result of an investment in the Company or otherwise. The Adviser shall keep the Board reasonably informed on a periodic basis in connection with the foregoing.
(d) The Adviser is not permitted to consummate on the Company’s behalf any transaction that involves (i) the sale of any investment to or (ii) the acquisition of any investment from Core Spaces, any Other Account or any of their Affiliates unless such transaction is approved by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, not otherwise interested in such transaction as being fair and reasonable to the Company. The Adviser will seek to resolve any conflicts of interest in a fair and reasonable manner in accordance with its prevailing policies and procedures with respect to conflicts resolution among Other Accounts generally, but only those transactions set forth in this Section 8(d) will be expressly required to be presented for approval to the Board or the Independent Trustees, as the context may require, or any committee thereof (unless otherwise required by the Declaration of Trust or the Investment Guidelines).
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that neither the Company nor the Board has the authority to determine the salary, bonus or any other compensation paid by the Adviser to any director, officer, member, partner, employee, or shareholder of the Adviser or its Affiliates, including any person who is also a Trustee or officer employee of the Company.

For so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Adviser shall have the right to nominate, subject to the ultimate approval of such nomination by the Board, two Trustee nominees who are Affiliated with the Adviser to the Board; provided, however, that such nomination right shall be suspended only for such period of time as necessary so that a majority of the Trustees are at all times Independent Trustees. Furthermore, the Board shall consult with the Adviser in connection with filling of any vacancies created by the removal, resignation, retirement or death of any Trustee (other than in connection with a removal by Shareholders in accordance with the Declaration of Trust).

13. NO JOINT VENTURE. The Company, on the one hand, and the Adviser on the other, acknowledge that they are entering into this Agreement as independent contractors and that this Agreement shall not create and shall not be construed to create a relationship of principal and agent, tenancy, co-partners, joint venturers, employer and employee, or any similar relationship between each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to impose any liability as such on either of them.
14. TERM OF AGREEMENT**. **
(a) This Agreement shall continue in effect for two years from May 14, 2026, and will continue automatically for successive two-year renewal periods thereafter unless (i) at least two-thirds of the Independent Trustees agree not to renew it in accordance with Section 14(b) or (ii) otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 15.
14
(b) Without penalty or fee, the Company may elect not to renew this Agreement upon the expiration of the initial two-year term (or any subsequent renewal term) upon 180 days’ prior written notice to the Adviser (the “Termination Notice”), but only if at least two-thirds of the Independent Trustees agree that (i) there has been unsatisfactory performance by the Adviser that is materially detrimental to the Company and the Operating Partnership or (ii) the compensation payable to the Adviser under this Agreement is unfair; provided that the Company does not have the right to terminate this Agreement under this clause (ii) if the Adviser agrees to continue to provide the services under this Agreement at a reduced fee that equals the compensation that the Independent Trustees determine to be fair and consistent with current market-level compensation rates for comparable work. If the Company issues the Termination Notice, the Company shall be obligated to specify the reason for nonrenewal in the Termination Notice; provided, however, that in the event that such Termination Notice is given in connection with a determination that the compensation payable to the Adviser is unfair, the Adviser shall have the right to renegotiate such compensation by delivering to the Company, no fewer than 60 days prior to the prospective last day of the initial term (or any subsequent renewal term) (the “Effective Termination Date”), written notice (any such notice, a “Notice of Proposal to Negotiate”) of its intention to renegotiate its compensation under this Agreement. Thereupon, the Company (represented by the Independent Trustees) and the Adviser shall endeavor to negotiate in good faith the revised compensation payable to the Adviser under this Agreement; provided, that, if the Adviser and at least two-thirds of the Independent Trustees agree to the terms of the revised compensation to be payable to the Adviser, the Termination Notice shall be deemed of no force and effect and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect on the terms stated in this Agreement, except that the compensation payable to the Adviser hereunder will be the revised compensation then agreed upon by the Adviser and the Company (represented by the Independent Trustees). In the event that the Company and the Adviser are unable to agree to the terms of the revised compensation to be payable to the Adviser during such 60-day period, this Agreement shall terminate and such termination to be effective on the date which is the later of (A) 10 days following the end of such 60-day period and (B) the Effective Termination Date originally set forth in the Termination Notice.
15. TERMINATION BY THE PARTIES. This Agreement may be terminated (i) at the option of the Adviser, (a) immediately for Cause or upon a Change of Control of the Company or the Operating Partnership or (b) upon written notice by the Adviser to the Company of its intention to decline to renew this Agreement; provided, that such written notice shall be delivered no later than 180 days prior to the expiration of the initial two-year term (or any subsequent renewal term), and (ii) at the option of the Company, immediately for Cause or upon the bankruptcy of the Adviser. The provisions of Sections 17 through 23 survive termination of this Agreement.
16. ASSIGNMENT TO AN AFFILIATE. Except as set forth herein, the Adviser shall not assign, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement to any Persons other than an Affiliate without the approval of a majority of the Trustees (including a majority of the Independent Trustees). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adviser may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement to any Person without obtaining the consent of the Board. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company or the Operating Partnership without the approval of the Adviser, except in the case of an assignment by the Company or the Operating Partnership to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company or the Operating Partnership, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company and the Operating Partnership are bound by this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on successors to the Company resulting from a Change in Control or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company or the Operating Partnership, and shall likewise be binding on any successor to the Adviser.
15
17. PAYMENTS TO AND DUTIES OF ADVISER UPON TERMINATION.
(a) After the Termination Date, the Adviser shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder except it shall be entitled to receive from the Company or the Operating Partnership within 30 days after the effective date of such termination all unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Adviser prior to termination of this Agreement.
(b) The Adviser shall promptly upon termination:
(i) pay over to the Company and the Operating Partnership all money collected and held for the account of the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;
(ii) deliver to the Board a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board;
(iii) deliver to the Board all assets, including all Investments, and documents of the Company and the Operating Partnership then in the custody of the Adviser; and
(iv) cooperate with, and take all reasonable actions requested by, the Company and Board in making an orderly transition of the Advisory function.
18. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP. The Company and the Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Adviser and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance, and to the fullest extent possible without such indemnification being inconsistent with the laws of the State of Maryland or the Declaration of Trust.
19. INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISER. The Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses including attorneys’ fees, to the extent that (a) such liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and (b) are incurred by reason of the Adviser’s bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Adviser shall not be held responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Adviser.
20. NON-SOLICITATION. For two (2) years after the Termination Date, the Company shall not, without the consent of the Adviser, employ or otherwise retain any employee of the Adviser or any of its Affiliates or any person who has been employed by the Adviser or any of its Affiliates at any time within the two (2) year period immediately preceding the date on which such person commences employment with or is otherwise retained by the Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to any damages, the Adviser may be entitled to equitable relief for any violation of this Section 20 by the Company, including, without limitation, injunctive relief.
