- 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.


 


SECTION 4.         CONDITIONS

(b)      An

right, title and interest in, to and under the Leases and all of the Seller’s
right, title and interest, if any, in, to and under all transferable licenses,
contracts, permits and agreements affecting the Property;


 


(c)      A bill of
sale by the Seller, without warranty of any kind, in form and substance

and agreed that no portion of the Purchase Price is allocated to personal
property);


 


(d)      A long term land lease, parking easement and/or master deed, declaration

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 


 


- 7 -

















 


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

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

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

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 


 


- 8 -

















 


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 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

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

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 


 


- 9 -

















 


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
Property, whether made by the Seller, on the Seller’s behalf or otherwise,
including, without limitation, the physical condition of the Property, the
financial condition of the tenants under the Leases, title to or the boundaries
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.

upon any property or assets of the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note, evidence of indebtedness or any other
agreement or instrument by which the Purchaser is bound.

SECTION 9.         APPORTIONMENTS.


 


9.1       Real Property Apportionments.  (a)  The following items shall be

  fiscal year for which assessed;

  
	
   

  	
   

  
	
  (vi)

  	
  Water rates and charges;

  (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 


 


- 13 -

















 


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 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 


 


- 14 -

















 


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 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 


 


- 15 -

















 


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.

TO 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

- 16 -

















 


Agreement

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 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.

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

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, 


 


- 23 -

















 


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.


 


12.16     Recording.  This Agreement may not be recorded without
the 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, shareholder, employee
or agent of Senior Housing Properties Trust shall be held to any personal
liability, jointly or severally, for any obligation of, or claim against,
Senior Housing Properties Trust.  All
persons dealing with Senior Housing 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 to any law, rule or
regulation (including those of Massachusetts and those of the state in which
the Property is located).   The Purchaser
hereby acknowledges that, prior to the execution of this Agreement, the
Purchaser has had access to all information necessary to acquire the Property
and the Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller has fully and completely
fulfilled any and all disclosure obligations with respect thereto.  The Purchaser 


 


- 24 -

















 


hereby
fully and completely discharges the Seller from any further disclosure
obligations whatsoever relating to the Property.  In addition to the actions recited herein and
contemplated to be performed, executed, and/or delivered by the Seller and the
Purchaser, the Seller and the Purchaser agree to perform, execute and/or
deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered at the Closing or
after the Closing any and all such further acts, instruments, deeds and
assurances as may be reasonably required to establish, confirm or otherwise
evidence the Seller’s satisfaction of any disclosure obligations or to
otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
