Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The disclosure set forth below under Item 1.02
of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on April 11, 2023,
we and DHC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which we and DHC agreed that DHC would merge
with and into us, with us as the surviving entity in the merger, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. On September 1,
2023, we and DHC mutually agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement and entered into a termination agreement, or the Termination Agreement.
The mutual termination of the Merger Agreement was separately recommended by our and DHC’s respective Special Committee and approved
by our and DHC’s respective Board of Trustees.
Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the termination
of the Merger Agreement is effective as of September 1, 2023. Neither we nor DHC will be required to pay any termination fee as a
result of the mutual decision to terminate the Merger Agreement. We and DHC will bear our and their respective costs and expenses related
to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

preceding paragraphs are a full and final release covering all known as well as unknown or unanticipated debts, claims or damages of
each of the Parties and their respective Related Parties relating to or arising out of the Transaction Documents. Therefore, each of
the Parties expressly waives any rights it may have under any statute or common law principle under which a general release does not
extend to claims which such Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known
by such Party must have affected such Party’s settlement with the other, including, without limitation, Section 1542 of the
California Civil Code, which provides:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR
DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY
AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
In connection with such waiver and relinquishment, the Parties acknowledge
that they or their attorneys or agents may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those which they now know
or believe to exist with respect to the Released Claims, but that it is their intention hereby fully, finally and forever to settle and
release all of the Released Claims. In furtherance of this intention, the releases herein given shall be and remain in effect as full
and complete mutual releases with regard to the Released Claims notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different
claim or fact.
(d) Except
as provided in the provisos to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b), and except as required by applicable Law or
the rules or regulations of any Governmental Authority, any self-regulatory authority or by the order of any court of competent jurisdiction,
each Party, on behalf of itself and its respective Related Parties, hereby covenants to the other Party and their respective Related Parties
not to, with respect to any Released Claim, directly or indirectly encourage or solicit or voluntarily assist or participate in any way
in the investigation, filing, reporting or prosecution by such Party or its Related Parties or any third party of a suit, arbitration,
mediation, or claim (including, without limitation, a third-party or derivative claim) against any other Party and/or its Related Parties
relating to any Released Claim. The covenants contained in this Section 2 shall survive this Agreement indefinitely regardless
of any applicable statute of limitations.
3. Representations
of the Parties. Each Party, on behalf of itself and its Related Parties, represents and warrants to the other Parties as follows:
(a) This
Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, subject
to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
(b) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Party do not, and the performance by such Party of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement does not: (i) conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of, any provision of its charter or bylaws (or equivalent
organizational documents); or (ii) conflict with or violate any Law or Order applicable to such Party or any of its Subsidiaries
or any of its or their assets.
(c) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Party was approved in accordance with Section 10.14 of the Merger Agreement.

any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in any jurisdiction, the Parties hereto shall negotiate
in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable
manner in order that the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the releases of the Released Claims, be consummated as
originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
8. Applicable
Law. This Agreement, and all Actions (whether at Law, in contract or in tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or related to this
Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
Laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law principles (whether of the State of Maryland or any
other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Maryland.
9. Jurisdiction
of Disputes. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Maryland state
or federal court. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Maryland
state or federal court, for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party, (ii) agrees
not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts, (iii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in any Maryland state or federal court, (iv) 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 action or proceeding, and (v) waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. Each of
the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action or 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 of the Parties irrevocably consents to service of process in the
manner provided for notices in Section 4. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to serve process
in any other manner permitted by Law.
10. WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE OTHER AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, THE MERGER OR THE OTHER
TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS
IN THIS SECTION 10.
11. No
Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned
or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party
and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement
will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
12. Third-Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties
and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that each Party acknowledges and agrees that the Company Related Parties
and the Parent Related Parties are express third-party beneficiaries of the releases of such Related Parties and covenants not to sue
such Related Parties contained in Section 2 of this Agreement and are entitled to enforce rights under such section to the
same extent that such Related Parties could enforce such rights if they were a party to this Agreement.
13. Headings.
Headings for this Agreement are for reference purposes only and do not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
14. Injunctive
Relief. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance
with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor.
It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief
to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each of the Parties hereby
waives (a) any defense in an Action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate, and (b) any requirement
under any Law to post a security as prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. Each Party agrees that the right of specific performance
and other equitable relief is an integral part of this Agreement, and without that right, neither the Company, on the one hand, nor Parent,
on the other hand, would have entered into this Agreement.
15. Counterparts;
Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together
shall be deemed one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties
and delivered (by electronic delivery or otherwise) to the other Party. Signatures to this Agreement executed or transmitted by electronic
means will have the same effect as physical delivery of a paper document bearing an original signature.
16. Further
Assurances. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, cooperate with each other in the taking of all,
actions necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to effectuate the termination of the Merger Agreement
including, without limitation, as contemplated by the last sentence of Section 9.2 of the Merger Agreement.
17. Non-Liability
of Trustees of the Company and Parent. The Company Charter and the Parent Charter, each as filed with the Maryland SDAT, provide that
no trustee, officer, shareholder, employee or agent of the Company or Parent, respectively, shall be held to any personal liability, jointly
or severally, for any obligation of, or claim against, the Company or Parent, respectively. All Persons dealing with the Company or Parent
in any way shall look only to the assets of the Company or Parent, respectively, for the payment of any sum or the performance of any
obligation.
