- 3 -

















 


SECTION 3.         TITLE,
DILIGENCE MATERIALS, ETC.


 


3.1       Title.  Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the
Seller has delivered the Existing Title Policy and the Existing Survey to the
Purchaser.


 


Within ten (10) days after the execution hereof,
the Purchaser shall order an update to the Existing Title Policy (an “Update”)
from the Title Company.  The Purchaser
shall deliver to the Seller a copy of the Update promptly upon receipt
thereof.  Promptly after receipt of the
Update, but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall give
the Seller written notice of any title exceptions (other than Permitted
Exceptions) set forth on the Update as to which the Purchaser objects.  The Seller shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to attempt to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any exceptions to title
to which the Purchaser so objects.  If,
for any reason, in its sole discretion, the Seller is unable or unwilling to
take such actions as may be required to cause such exceptions to be removed
from the Update, the Seller shall give the Purchaser notice thereof; it being
understood and agreed that the failure of the Seller to give prompt notice of
objection shall be deemed an election by the Seller not to remedy such
matters.  If the Seller shall be unable
or unwilling to remove any title defects to which the Purchaser has so
objected, the Purchaser may elect (i) to terminate this Agreement or (ii) to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding such title
defect, without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account
thereof (whereupon such objected to exceptions or matters shall be deemed to be
Permitted Exceptions).  The Purchaser
shall make any such election by written notice to the  Seller given on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the
Seller’s notice of its unwillingness or inability to cure (or deemed election
not to cure) such defect and time shall be of the essence with respect to the
giving of such notice.  Failure of the
Purchaser to give such notice shall be deemed an election by the Purchaser to
proceed in accordance with clause (ii) above.


 


3.2       No Other Diligence.  The
Purchaser acknowledges that, except as provided in Section 3.1,
(i) the Purchaser has had the opportunity to fully investigate and inspect
the physical and environmental condition of the Property, and to review and
analyze all title examinations, surveys, environmental assessment reports,
building evaluations, financial data and other investigations and materials
pertaining to the Property which the Purchaser deems necessary to determine the
feasibility of the Property and its decision to acquire the Property, (ii) 


 


- 4 -

















 


the Purchaser shall not be
conducting any further title examinations, surveys, environmental assessments,
building evaluations, financial analyses or other investigations with respect
to the Property, and (iii) the Purchaser shall not have any right to
terminate this Agreement as a result of any title examinations, surveys,
environmental assessments, building valuations, financial analyses or other
investigations with respect to the Property.

property);

SECTION 6.                                  REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER.


 


To induce the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement,
the Seller represents and warrants to the Purchaser as follows:


 


6.1                            Status and
Authority of the Seller.  The Seller is
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
state of organization or formation, and has all requisite power and authority
under its charter documents to enter into and perform its obligations under
this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


6.2                            Action of
the Seller.  The Seller has taken all
necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, and upon the execution and delivery of any document to be delivered
by the Seller on or prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement and such document
shall constitute the valid and binding obligation and agreement of the Seller,
enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and
remedies of creditors.


 


6.3                            No
Violations of Agreements.  Neither the
execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Seller, nor
compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, will result in any breach of
the terms, conditions or provisions of, or conflict with or constitute a
default under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance
upon the Property pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, note, evidence of indebtedness or any other agreement or instrument by
which the Seller is bound.


 


6.4                            Litigation.  To the Seller’s actual knowledge, it has not

To the Seller’s actual knowledge: (a) the copies of the Leases

is in full force and effect on the terms set forth therein; (ii) to the

default thereunder which would have a material adverse effect on the business
or operations of the Property; (iii) to the Seller’s actual knowledge,
each of its tenants is legally required to pay all sums and perform all
material obligations set forth therein without any ongoing concessions,
abatements, offsets, defenses or other basis for relief or adjustment; (iv) to
the Seller’s actual knowledge, none of its tenants has asserted in writing or
has any defense to, offsets or claims against, rent payable by it or the
performance of its other obligations under its Lease which would have a

with an allowance to perform, or to perform at its own expense, any tenant
improvements; (vi) none of its tenants has prepaid any rent or other
charges relating to the post-Closing period; (vii) to the Seller’s actual
knowledge, none of its tenants has filed a petition in bankruptcy or for the
approval of a plan of reorganization or management under the Federal Bankruptcy
Code or under any other similar state law, or made an admission in writing as
to the relief therein provided, or otherwise become the subject of any
proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or has
admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due or made
an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or has petitioned for the
appointment of or has had appointed a receiver, trustee or custodian for any of
its property, in any case that would have a material adverse effect on the
business or operations of the 


 


- 8 -

















 


Property; (viii) to the Seller’s
actual knowledge, none of its tenants has requested in writing a modification
of its Lease, or a release of its obligations under its Lease in any material
respect or has given written notice terminating its Lease, or has been released
of its obligations thereunder in any material respect prior to the normal
expiration of the term thereof, in any case that would have a material adverse
effect on the on-going business or operations of the Property; (ix) to the
Seller’s actual knowledge, except as set forth in the Leases, no guarantor has
been released or discharged, voluntarily or involuntarily, or by operation of
law, from any obligation under or in connection with any of its Leases or any
transaction related thereto; and (x) all brokerage commissions currently
due and payable with respect to each of its Leases have been paid.  To the Seller’s actual knowledge, the other
information set forth in the Rent Roll is true, correct and complete in all
material respects.


 


6.6                            Agreements, Etc.  Other than the Leases, the Seller has not
entered into any contract or agreement with respect to the Property which will
be binding on the Purchaser after the Closing other than contracts and
agreements being assumed by the Purchaser or which are terminable upon thirty
(30) days notice without payment of premium or penalty.


 


6.7                            Not a
Foreign Person.  The Seller is
not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445 of the United
States Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated
thereunder.


 


The representations and warranties made in this Agreement
by the Seller shall be continuing and shall be deemed remade by the Seller as
of the Closing Date, with the same force and effect as if made on, and as of,
such date.  All representations and
warranties made in this Agreement by the Seller shall survive the Closing for a
period of one (1) year, and upon expiration shall be of no further force
or effect except to the extent that with respect to any particular alleged
breach, the Purchaser gives the Seller written notice prior to the expiration
of said one (1) year period of such alleged breach with reasonable detail
as to the nature of such breach.


 


Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement or in any documents to be delivered to the Purchaser at the Closing,
the Seller has not made, and the Purchaser has not relied on, any information,
promise, representation or warranty, express or implied, regarding the

of the Property, pest control matters, soil conditions, the presence, existence
or absence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances or other environmental
matters, compliance with building, health, safety, land use and zoning laws,
regulations and orders, structural and other engineering characteristics,
traffic patterns, market data, economic conditions or projections, and any
other information pertaining to the Property or the market and physical
environments in which they are located. 
The Purchaser acknowledges that (i) the Purchaser has entered into
this Agreement with the intention of relying upon its own investigation or that
of third parties with respect to the physical, environmental, economic and
legal condition of the Property and (ii) the Purchaser is not relying upon
any statements, representations or warranties of any kind, other than those
specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any document to be delivered to
the Purchaser at the Closing, made (or purported to be made) by the Seller or
anyone acting or claiming to act on the Seller’s behalf.  The Purchaser has inspected the Property and
is fully familiar with the physical condition thereof and shall purchase the
Property in its “as is”, “where is” and “with all faults” condition on the
Closing Date.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any party hereto has actual
knowledge of the default of any other party (a “Known Default”), but
nonetheless elects to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
proceeds to Closing, then the rights and remedies of such non-defaulting party
shall be waived with respect to such Known Default upon the Closing and the
defaulting party shall have no liability with respect thereto.

SECTION 9.                                  APPORTIONMENTS.


 


9.1                            Real

following items shall be apportioned at the Closing as of the close of business
on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date:


 


	
  (i)

  	
  annual rents, operating costs, taxes and other
  fixed charges payable under the Leases;

  under the Leases;

- 12 -

















 


	
  (iv)

  	
  municipal assessments and governmental license and
  permit fees;

  
	
   

  	
   

  
	
  (v)

  	
  Real estate taxes and assessments other than
  special assessments, based on the rates and assessed valuation applicable in
  the fiscal year for which assessed;

  
	
   

  	
   

  
	
  (vi)

  	
  Water rates and charges;

  
	
   

  	
   

  
	
  (vii)

  	
  Sewer and vault taxes and rents; and

  
	
   

  	
   

  
	
  (viii)

  	
  all other items of income and expense normally
  apportioned in sales of property in similar situations in the jurisdiction
  where the Property is located.

  



 


If any of the foregoing cannot be apportioned at the
Closing because of the unavailability of the amounts which are to be
apportioned, such items shall be apportioned on the basis of a good faith
estimate by the parties and reconciled as soon as practicable after the Closing
Date but, in any event, no later than one (1) year after the Closing Date.


 


(b)                      If there are water, gas or
electric meters located at the Property, the Seller shall obtain readings
thereof to a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date and
the unfixed water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and
electricity charges, if any, based thereon for the intervening time shall be
apportioned on the basis of such last readings. 
If such readings are not obtainable by the Closing Date, then, at the
Closing, any water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity
charges which are based on such readings shall be prorated based upon the per
diem charges obtained by using the most recent period for which such readings
shall then be available.  Upon the taking
of subsequent actual readings, the apportionment of such charges shall be
recalculated and the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, promptly
shall make a payment to the other based upon such recalculations.  The parties agree to make such final
recalculations within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.


 


(c)                       If any refunds of real
property taxes or assessments, water rates and charges or sewer taxes and rents
shall be made after the Closing, the same shall be held in trust by the Seller
or the Purchaser, as the case 


 


- 13 -

















 


may be, and
shall first be applied to the unreimbursed costs incurred in obtaining the
same, then to any required refunds to tenants under the Leases, and the
balance, if any, shall be paid to the Seller (for the period prior to the
Closing Date) and to the Purchaser (for the period commencing with the Closing
Date).


 


(d)                      If, on the Closing Date, the
Property shall be or shall have been affected by any special or general
assessment or assessments or real property taxes payable in a lump sum or which
are or may become payable in installments of which the first installment is
then a charge or lien and has become payable, the Seller shall pay or cause to
be paid at the Closing the unpaid installments of such assessments due and as of
the Closing Date.


 


(e)                       No insurance policies of the
Seller are to be transferred to the Purchaser, and no apportionment of the
premiums therefor shall be made.


 


(f)                          At the Closing, the Seller
shall transfer to the Purchaser the amount of all unapplied security deposits
held pursuant to the terms of the Leases.


 


(g)                        Brokerage commissions,
tenant improvement expenses and other amounts payable by the Seller as landlord
under Leases entered into by the Seller after the date hereof, or in connection
with the renewal or extension of any existing Lease, shall be allocated between
the Seller and the Purchaser at Closing based upon their respective periods of
ownership (calculated on a straight-line basis over the initial term or
extension or renewal period, as applicable), and the Purchaser shall reimburse
the Seller at the Closing for all amounts so allocated to the Purchaser and
paid by the Seller prior to the Closing. 
The Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all unpaid brokerage
commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts payable by the
Seller as landlord under any such new Lease, renewal or extension that are
allocated to the Seller in accordance with the terms hereof.


 


(h)                       Amounts payable after the
date hereof on account of capital expenditures under the 2010 capital
expenditure budget previously prepared by the Seller (the “2010 CapEx Budget”)
and the 2011 CapEx Budget (together with the 2010 CapEx Budget, collectively,
the “CapEx Budget”) (including, without limitation, budgeted items for “building
improvements” and “development and redevelopment”), shall 


 


- 14 -

















 


be
allocated between the Seller and the Purchaser at Closing based upon their
respective periods of ownership (on a straight line basis), and the Purchaser
shall reimburse the Seller at the Closing for all amounts so allocated to the
Purchaser and paid by the Seller prior to the Closing.  The Purchaser shall receive a credit at
Closing for all unpaid amounts payable on account of capital expenditures under
the CapEx Budget allocated to the Seller in accordance with the terms hereof.


 


(i)                           If a net amount is owed by
the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.1, such
amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price.  If a net amount is owed by the Purchaser to
the Seller pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be added
to the Purchase Price paid to the Seller.


 


(j)                          If, on the Closing Date,
there are past due rents with respect to any Lease, amounts received by the
Purchaser with respect to such Lease after the Closing Date shall be applied, first,
to rents due or to become due during the calendar month in which the Closing
occurs, and then, to all other rents due or past due in inverse order to
the order in which they became due (i.e., first to arrearages most
recently occurring, then to older arrearages). 
Any such past due rents received by the Purchaser, once applied in the
foregoing order of priority, to the extent applicable to the period prior to
the Closing Date, shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller.  In no event shall the Seller have any right
to take any action to collect any past due rents or other amounts following the
Closing; provided, however, the Purchaser shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to collect such past due rents and other amounts, except
that the Purchaser shall have no obligation to institute any legal action or
proceeding or otherwise enforce any of its rights and remedies under any Lease
in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts.


 


The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall
survive the Closing.


 


9.2                            Closing
Costs.


 


(a)                       The Purchaser shall pay (i) the

OR CONDEMNATION OF PROPERTY.


 


10.1                            Casualty.  If, prior to the Closing, the Property is
materially destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, the Seller shall
promptly notify the Purchaser of such fact. 
In such event, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by giving notice to the Seller not later than ten (10) days
after the giving of the Seller’s notice (and, if necessary, the Closing Date
shall be extended until one day after the expiration of such ten-day
period).  If the Purchaser elects to
terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, this Agreement shall terminate and be of
no further force and effect and no party shall have any liability to the other
hereunder.  If less than a material part
of the Property shall be affected by fire or other casualty or if the Purchaser
shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no
abatement of the Purchase Price and the Seller shall assign to the Purchaser at
the Closing the rights of the Seller to the proceeds, if any, under the Seller’s
insurance policies covering the Property with respect to such damage or
destruction and there shall be credited against the Purchase Price the amount
of any deductible, any proceeds previously received by Seller on account
thereof and any deficiency in proceeds.


 


10.2                            Condemnation.  If, prior to the Closing, a material part of
the Property (including access or parking thereto), is taken by eminent domain
(or is the subject of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated), the
Seller shall notify the 


 


- 16 -

















 


Purchaser
of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof and the Purchaser shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the Seller not
later than ten (10) days after the giving of the Seller’s notice (and, if
necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until one day after the
expiration of such ten-day period).  If
the Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, this Agreement
shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no party shall have
any liability to the other hereunder.  If
less than a material part of the Property shall be affected or if the Purchaser
shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the sale of the
Property shall be consummated as herein provided without any adjustment to the
Purchase Price (except to the extent of any condemnation award received by the
Seller prior to the Closing) and the Seller shall assign to the Purchaser at
the Closing all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all awards,
if any, for the taking, and the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep
all awards for the taking of the Property or portion thereof.


 


10.3                            Survival.  The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 10
shall survive the Closing.

11.1                            Default by
the Seller.  If the transaction herein
contemplated fails to close as a result of the default of the Seller hereunder,
or the Seller having made any representation or warranty herein which shall be
untrue or misleading in any material respect, or the Seller having failed to
perform any of the material covenants and agreements contained herein to be
performed by the Seller, the Purchaser may, as its sole remedy, either (x) terminate
this Agreement (in which case, the Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser for all
of the fees, charges, disbursements and expenses of the Purchaser’s attorneys),
or (y) pursue a suit for specific performance.


 


11.2                            Default by
the Purchaser.  If the transaction herein
contemplated fails to close as a result of the default of the Purchaser

which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or the Purchaser
having failed to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein
to be performed by it, the Seller may terminate this Agreement (in which case,

attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements arising out of any claim or claims
for commissions or other compensation for bringing about this Agreement or the

held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or
unenforceable as applied to any particular case in any jurisdiction or
jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the conflict
of any provision with any constitution or statute or rule of public policy
or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of
rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or
unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or
of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid,
inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not
themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of
public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such
jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision
had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be
valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such
jurisdiction or in such case.


 


12.8                            Counterparts
Complete Agreement, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed
in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all
of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an
agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.


 


12.9                            Performance
on Business Days.  In the event the date on which

extended to the first Business Day following such date.

Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted,
construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts.


 


12.14                    Arbitration.  Any party hereto may elect to submit any
dispute hereunder that has an amount in controversy in excess of $250,000 to
arbitration hereunder.  Any such
arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then
pertaining and the decision of the arbitrators with respect to such dispute

In the event any party hereto shall elect to submit
any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Seller and the Purchaser shall
each appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with
at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience in the general
subject matter of the dispute.  Notice of
such appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other, and the
arbitrators so appointed, in the event of their failure to agree within thirty

submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator. 
If either the Seller or the Purchaser shall fail to appoint an
arbitrator, as aforesaid, for a period of ten (10) days after written
notice from the other party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator
appointed by the party having made such appointment shall appoint a second
arbitrator and the two (2) so appointed shall, in the event of their
failure to agree upon any decision within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint
a third arbitrator.  If such arbitrators
fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within forty five (45) days after the
appointment of the second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be
appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of
arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent
professional experience as to the subject matter in question.  The fees of the third arbitrator and the
expenses incident to the proceedings shall be borne equally between the Seller
and the Purchaser, unless the arbitrators decide otherwise.  The fees of respective counsel

engaged by the parties, and the fees of expert witnesses
and other witnesses called for by the parties, shall be paid by the respective
party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such witnesses.


 


The decision of the arbitrators shall be rendered
within thirty (30) days after appointment of the third arbitrator.  Such decision shall be in writing and in
duplicate, one counterpart thereof to be delivered to the Seller and one to the
Purchaser.  A judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction may be entered upon the award of the arbitrators in
accordance with the rules and statutes applicable thereto then obtaining.


 


12.15                    Like Kind Exchange.  At either
party’s request, the non-requesting party will take all actions reasonably
requested by the requesting party in order to effectuate all or any part of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a forward or reverse like-kind
exchange for the benefit of the requesting party in accordance with Section 1031
of the Internal Revenue Code and, in the case of a reverse exchange, Rev. Proc.
2000-37, including executing an instrument acknowledging and consenting to any
assignment by the requesting party of its rights hereunder to a qualified
intermediary or an exchange accommodation titleholder.  In furtherance of the foregoing and
notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the
requesting party may assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified
intermediary” or an “exchange accommodation titleholder” in order to
facilitate, at no cost or expense to the other, a forward or reverse like-kind
exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided,
however, that such assignment will not relieve the requesting party of
any of its obligations hereunder.  The
non-requesting party will also agree to issue all closing documents, including
the deed or other operative conveyance instrument, to the applicable qualified
intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder if so directed by the
requesting party prior to Closing. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the non-requesting
party incur or be subject to any liability that is not otherwise provided for
in this Agreement.

prior written consent of both parties.


 


12.17                    Non-liability
of Trustees of Purchaser.  The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust
establishing Senior Housing Properties Trust, dated September 20, 1999, as
amended and supplemented, as filed with the State Department Of Assessments and
Taxation of Maryland, provides that no trustee, officer,

Properties Trust in any way shall look only to the assets of Senior Housing
Properties Trust for the payment of any sum or the performance of any
obligation.


 


12.18                    Waiver and
Further Assurances.  The Purchaser hereby
acknowledges that it is a sophisticated purchaser of real properties and that
it is aware of all disclosures the Seller is or may be required to provide to
the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant
