Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) These Common Shares were issued as a portion of the management fee paid by the Issuer to Reit Management & Research LLC ("RMR") pursuant to a business management agreement (the "Management Agreement") between the Issuer and RMR.
(2) Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the per share price amount listed above is the average of the closing prices of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange for each trading day during the month of January 2015.
(3) Represents the pecuniary interest of Mr. Portnoy in Common Shares owned by RMR, of which Reit Management & Research Trust ("RMR Trust") is the sole member. Mr. Portnoy is the President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of RMR, and the President and Chief Executive Officer, a beneficial owner and a trustee of RMR Trust.
(4) RMR may, under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), be deemed to beneficially own 21,500,000 Common Shares of the Issuer that are owned by Government Properties Income Trust ("GOV"), and therefore due to his relationships with RMR Trust and RMR, Mr. Portnoy may be considered a beneficial owner of a portion of such Common Shares, constituting more than ten percent of the Common Shares of the Issuer under Rule 16a-1(a)(1) under the Exchange Act, but Mr. Portnoy disclaims such beneficial ownership of the Common Shares owned by GOV.
