Abbott Laboratories Inc. (“Company”), and ____________________ (“Executive”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS,
Company owns or rightfully possesses and operates the aircraft set forth in Exhibit A
attached hereto (individually and collectively, as the context requires, the “Aircraft”);
and

WHEREAS,
Company employs a fully qualified flight crew to operate the Aircraft; and

WHEREAS,
Executive is __________________ of Abbott Laboratories, an Illinois Corporation
(“Abbott”) and the parent corporation of Company; and

WHEREAS,
in order to protect the safety and security of Executive and maximize his/her
availability to carry out his/her responsibilities, Abbott’s Board of Directors
has adopted a policy that generally requires Executive to travel on the
Aircraft for all his/her air travel, whether on Abbott business or personal
travel; and

WHEREAS, Executive desires to lease one
or more of the Aircraft from time to time on a time sharing basis as defined in
Sections 91.501(b)(6) and (c)(1) of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (“FARs”) when he/she is required under the Board’s policy to fly on
the Aircraft for personal travel.

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the other
promises contained herein, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby,
agree as follows:

1. Company agrees
to lease the Aircraft to Executive on a non-exclusive basis from time to time
as mutually agreed between the parties pursuant to the provisions of FAR
91.501(b)(6) and (c)(1) and to provide a fully qualified flight crew
for all operations conducted under this Agreement. This Agreement shall remain
in effect until terminated by either party upon ten (10) days prior
written notice to the other.

2. (a) Except
as further limited by subparagraph 2(b) of this Agreement, Executive shall
pay to Company for each flight conducted under this Agreement a lease fee (“Lease
Fee”) equal to the actual expenses of each specific flight as authorized by FAR
Part 91.501(d) except as such amount may be further limited by
subparagraph 2(b) below. Such actual expenses shall include:

(i) Fuel,
oil, lubricants, and other additives;

(ii) Travel
expenses of the crew, including food, lodging and ground transportation;

(iii) Hangar
and tie-down costs away from the Aircraft’s base of operation;

(iv) Insurance
obtained for the specific flight;

(v) Landing
fees, airport taxes and similar assessments;

(vi) Customs,
foreign permits, and similar fees directly related to the flight;

 

(vii) In-flight food and beverages;

(viii) Passenger
ground transportation; and

(ix) Flight
planning and weather contract services.

(b) Notwithstanding
the amount of the actual expenses set forth in subparagraph 2(a) of this
Agreement, in no event shall Executive be obligated to pay Company a Lease Fee
in excess of the greater of (x) or (y) below, where:

(x) equals
the applicable subsection (i) or (ii) below:

(i) For travel between cities served by regularly
scheduled first class commercial airline service, an amount equal to the lowest
published cost of the first class airfare available to the general public,
which will be solicited within one business day of the date the Executive
requests the specific flight, for the dates traveled multiplied by the number
of persons in Executive’s party for the flight; or

(ii) For travel between cities served by
regularly scheduled coach or business class, but not first class commercial
airline service, an amount equal to the lowest published cost of the
unrestricted coach (or, if available, business class) airfare available to the
general public, which will be solicited within one business day of the date the
Executive requests the specific flight, for the dates traveled multiplied by
the number of persons in Executive’s party for the flight; and

(y) equals
the amount of income that would be imputed to Executive for the flight under
the applicable Standard Industry Fare Levels as set forth in 26 C.F.R. §1.61-21(g) assuming
that Executive did not pay the Lease Fee.

For purposes of
the foregoing computation, if a city is not served by regularly scheduled
commercial airline service, the foregoing provisions shall be applied utilizing
a city selected by Company as close as reasonably practicable to the city
without such service. Company’s determination of the Lease Fee shall be
conclusive. Prior to any proposed flight, Company shall provide Executive with
an estimate of the Lease Fee for the particular flight. If Executive proceeds
with the proposed flight, he/she shall be obligated to pay the Lease Fee.
Executive shall also be responsible to pay, together with any Lease Fee,
applicable state and federal taxes (including, without limitation, federal
excise taxes). If Executive declines the proposed flight, neither Executive nor
Company shall have any further obligation with respect to the proposed flight.

3. Company will
pay all expenses related to the operation of the Aircraft when incurred, and
will provide an invoice to Executive for the Lease Fee determined in accordance
with paragraph 2 above after any flight or flights for the account of
Executive. Executive shall pay Company the Lease Fee, together with applicable
taxes.

4. Executive will
provide Company with requests for flight time and proposed flight schedules as
far in advance of any given flight as possible, and in any case, at least two (2) business
days in advance of Executive’s planned departure (unless Company agrees to a
shorter notice in a particular case in its discretion). Requests for flight
time shall be in a form, whether written or oral, mutually 

 2
 

 

convenient to, and
agreed upon by the parties. In addition to the proposed schedules and flight
times, Executive shall provide at least the following information for each proposed
flight prior to scheduled departure as required by the Company or Company’s
flight crew:

(a) proposed
departure point;

(b) destination;

(c) date
and time of flight;

(d) the
number, name, and relationship to the Executive of anticipated passengers;

(e) the
nature and extent of luggage and/or cargo to be carried;

(f) the
date and time of return flight, if any; and

(g) any
other information concerning the proposed flight that may be pertinent or
required by Company or Company’s flight crew.

5. Company shall
have final authority over the scheduling of the Aircraft, provided, however,
that Company will use reasonable efforts to accommodate Executive’s requests
and to avoid conflicts in scheduling. It is understood that Company shall not
be obligated to retain or contract for additional flight crew or maintenance
personnel or equipment in order to accommodate Executive’s schedule requests.

6. Company shall
be solely responsible for securing maintenance, preventive maintenance and
required or otherwise necessary inspections on the Aircraft, and shall take
such requirements into account in scheduling the Aircraft. No period of
maintenance, preventative maintenance or inspection shall be delayed or
postponed for the purpose of scheduling the Aircraft, unless said maintenance
or inspection can be safely conducted at a later time in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations, and within the sound discretion of the pilot
in command. The pilot in command shall have final and complete authority to
cancel any flight for any reason or condition that in his or her judgment would
compromise the safety of the flight.

7. Company shall
ensure that for each flight conducted under this Agreement, the Aircraft will
be under the command of a qualified flight crew. All flight operations by or on
behalf of Executive under this Agreement shall be conducted under Part 91
of the FAR. The Company shall have and exercise exclusive operational control
of the Aircraft during all phases of all flights under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, all flights during which Executive, and/or
his/her guests, designees, or property are on-board the Aircraft.

8. In accordance
with applicable FARs, the qualified flight crew provided by Company will
exercise all of its duties and responsibilities in regard to the safety of each
flight conducted hereunder. Executive specifically agrees that the flight crew,
in its sole discretion, may terminate any flight, refuse to commence any
flight, or take other action that in the considered judgment of the pilot in
command is necessitated by considerations of safety. No such action of the
pilot in command shall create or support any liability for loss, injury, damage
or delay to Executive or any other person. The parties further agree that
Company shall not be liable for delay or failure to furnish the Aircraft and
crew pursuant to this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

 3
 

 

9. Company will
maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect throughout the term
of this Agreement aircraft liability insurance in respect of the Aircraft. Such
insurance shall (i) name Executive as an additional insured; (ii) contain
a waiver of subrogation against Executive; and (iii) shall provide that if
the insurers cancel such insurance for any reason whatsoever, if the insurance
is not renewed due to non-payment of premium or if there is any material change
in policy terms and conditions, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be
effective as to Executive unless Executive has been provided with at least thirty
(30) days prior written notice. Company will provide such additional insurance
coverage as Executive shall request or require, provided, however, that the
cost of such additional insurance shall be borne by Executive as set forth in
paragraph 2.

10. Executive
warrants that:

(a) 
He/she will use the Aircraft for and on account of his/her own business or
personal use only, and will not use the Aircraft for the purpose of providing
transportation of passengers or cargo in air commerce for compensation or hire;

(b) He/she
will refrain from incurring any mechanics or other lien in connection with
inspection, preventative maintenance, maintenance or storage of the Aircraft,
whether permissible or impermissible under this Agreement, nor shall there be
any attempt by Executive to convey, mortgage, assign, lease or any way alienate
the Aircraft or create any kind of lien or security interest involving the
Aircraft or do anything or take any action that might mature into such a lien;
and

(c) During
the term of this Agreement, he/she will, and will cause any passengers in
his/her party to, abide by and conform to all such laws, governmental and
airport orders, rules and regulations, as shall from time to time be in
effect relating in any way to the operation and use of the Aircraft by a time
sharing lessee.

11. The Company
assumes and shall bear the entire risk of loss, theft, confiscation, damage to,
or destruction of the Aircraft. The Company shall release, indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Executive and his/her heirs, executors and personal
representatives from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims,
judgments, damages, fines, penalties, deficiencies and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) incurred or
suffered by Executive on account of a claim or action made or instituted by a
third person arising out of or resulting from operations of the Aircraft
hereunder and/or any services provided by the Company to Executive hereunder,
except to the extent attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Executive or his/her guests on the Aircraft.

12. For purposes
of this Agreement, the permanent base of operation of the Aircraft shall be
Waukegan, Illinois.

13. Neither this
Agreement nor any party’s interest herein shall be assignable to any other
party whatsoever. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto, and their respective heirs, representatives and
successors.

14. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the time-share
of the Aircraft as set forth herein. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered
March 10, 2004 (the “Effective Date”), by and between HRPT Properties Trust, a
Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), and John A. Mannix (“Indemnitee”).

WHEREAS Indemnitee currently serves as an officer of the Company and
may, in connection therewith, be subjected to claims, suits or proceedings
arising from such service; and

WHEREAS, as an inducement to Indemnitee to continue to serve as such officer, the Company has agreed to
indemnify and to advance expenses and costs incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with any such claims, suits or proceedings, to the fullest extent
permitted by law as hereinafter provided; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants
contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as
follows:

Section 1.               Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement:

(a)           “Change in Control”
means a change in control of the Company occurring after the Effective Date of
a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of
Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any
similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Act”), whether or not the Company is then subject to
such reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without limitation, such a
Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if after the Effective Date
(i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Act)
is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act),
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 10% or more of the combined voting
power in the election of trustees of the Company’s then outstanding securities
without the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board
of Trustees in office immediately prior to such person attaining such
percentage interest; (ii) there occurs a proxy contest, or the Company is a
party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, plan of liquidation or other
reorganization not approved by at least two-thirds of the members of the Board
of Trustees then in office, as a consequence of which members of the Board of
Trustees in office immediately prior to such transaction or event constitute
less than a majority of the Board of Trustees thereafter; or (iii) during any
period of two consecutive years, other than as a result of an event described
in clause (a)(ii) of this Section 1, individuals who at the beginning of
such period constituted the Board of Trustees (including for this purpose any
new trustee whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s
shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the trustees then
still in office who were trustees at the beginning of such period) cease for
any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Trustees.

(b)           “Corporate Status”
means the status of a person who is or was a director, trustee, officer or
agent of the Company.

 

(c)           “Disinterested
Trustee” means a trustee of the Company who is not and was not a party to the
Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.

(d)           “Expenses” means all
expenses, including, but not limited to, all reasonable attorneys’ fees,
retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel
expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges,
postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the
types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing
to prosecute or defend, investigating, or being or preparing to be a witness in
a Proceeding.

(e)            “Independent
Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is retained by
Indemnitee and is not serving as counsel to the Company.

(f)            “Proceeding” means
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate
dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any
other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(including on appeal), except one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section
9.

Section 2.               Indemnification
- General.  The Company shall
indemnify, and advance Expenses to, Indemnitee (a) as provided in this
Agreement and (b) otherwise to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law in
effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time; provided, however,
that no change in Maryland law shall have the effect of reducing the benefits
available to Indemnitee hereunder based on Maryland law as in effect on the
date hereof.  The rights of Indemnitee
provided in this Section 2 shall include, without limitation, the rights
set forth in the other sections of this Agreement, including any additional
indemnification permitted by Section 2-418(g) of the Maryland General
Corporation Law (“MGCL”), as applicable to a Maryland real estate investment
trust by virtue of Section 8-301(15) of the Maryland REIT Law.

Section 3.               Proceedings
Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.  Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of
indemnification provided in this Section 3 if, by reason of his
Corporate Status, he is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any
threatened, pending, or completed Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in
the right of the Company.  Pursuant to
this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all judgments,
penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all Expenses incurred by
him or on his behalf in connection with a Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s
Corporate Status unless it is established that (i) the act or omission of
Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (a) was
committed in bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty, (ii) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in
money, property or services, or (iii) in the case of any criminal Proceeding,
Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Section 4.               Proceedings
by or in the Right of the Company. 
Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided
in this Section 4 if, by reason of his Corporate Status, he is, or is
threatened to be, made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in
its favor.  Pursuant to this Section 4,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all amounts paid in settlement and all
Expenses incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding
unless it is 

 2
 

 

established
that (i) the act or omission of Indemnitee was material to the matter giving
rise to such a Proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b) was the
result of active and deliberate dishonesty or (ii) Indemnitee actually received
an improper personal benefit in money, property or services.

Section 5.               Indemnification
for Expenses of a Party Who is Partly Successful.  Without limitation on Section 3 and Section
4, if Indemnitee is not wholly successful in any Proceeding covered by this
Agreement, but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but
less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall
indemnify Indemnitee under this Section 5 for all Expenses incurred by
him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue
or matter, allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis.  For purposes of this Section and without limitation,
the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by
dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result
as to such claim, issue or matter.

Section 6.               Advance
of Expenses.  The Company shall
advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with
any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party or
a witness, within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or
statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to
time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding.  Such statement or statements shall reasonably
evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded
or accompanied by a written affirmation by Indemnitee of Indemnitee’s good
faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the
Company as authorized by law and by this Agreement has been met and a written
undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee, in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A or in such form as may be required under applicable
law as in effect at the time of the execution thereof, to reimburse the portion
of any Expenses advanced to Indemnitee relating to claims, issues or matters in
the Proceeding as to which it shall ultimately be established that the standard
of conduct has not been met and which have not been successfully resolved as
described in Section 5.  To the
extent that Expenses advanced to Indemnitee do not relate to a specific claim,
issue or matter in the Proceeding, such Expenses shall be allocated on a
reasonable and proportionate basis.  The
undertaking required by this Section 6 shall be an unlimited general
obligation by or on behalf of Indemnitee and shall be accepted without
reference to Indemnitee’s financial ability to repay such advanced Expenses and
without any requirement to post security therefor.

Section 7.               Procedure
for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.

(a)           To obtain
indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a
written request, including such documentation and information as is reasonably
available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to
what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.  The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly
upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of
Trustees in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

(b)           Upon written request
by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section
7(a) hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect
to 

 3
 

 

Indemnitee’s
entitlement thereto shall promptly be made in the specific case: (i) if a
Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written
opinion to the Board of Trustees, a copy of which shall be delivered to
Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred or if after
a Change of Control Indemnitee shall so request, (A) by the Board of Trustees
(or a duly authorized committee thereof) by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of Disinterested Trustees (as herein defined), or (B) if a quorum of
the Board of Trustees consisting of Disinterested Trustees is not obtainable
or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Trustees so directs, by
Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Trustees, a copy of
which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (C) if so directed by a majority of
the members of the Board of Trustees, by the shareholders of the Company; and,
if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment
to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such determination.  Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person,
persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s
entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or
entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which
is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is
reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such
determination.  Any Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such
determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination
as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company shall
indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

Section 8.               Presumptions
and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

(a)           In making a
determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the
person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee
has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 7(a)
of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome
that presumption in connection with the making of any determination contrary to
that presumption.

(b)           The termination of
any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior
to judgment, does not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the
requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification.

Section 9.               Remedies
of Indemnitee.

(a)           If (i) a
determination is made pursuant to Section 7 that Indemnitee is not
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advance of Expenses is
not timely made pursuant to Section 6, (iii) no determination of
entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 7(b)
within 30
days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv)
payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 5 within ten
days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment
of indemnification is not made within ten days after a determination has been
made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be
entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Maryland,
or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of his entitlement 

 4
 

 

to such
indemnification or advance of Expenses. 
Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in
arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.  Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding
seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following
the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding
pursuant to this Section 9(a); provided, however, that the
foregoing clause shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by
Indemnitee to enforce his rights under Section 5.

(b)           In any judicial
proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 9, the
Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification or advance of Expenses, as the case may be.

(c)           If a determination
shall have been made pursuant to Section 7(b) that Indemnitee is entitled
to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any
judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 9,
absent a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a
material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially
misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification.

(d)           In the event that
Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 9, seeks a judicial adjudication of
or an award in arbitration to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages
for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the
Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company for, any and all Expenses
incurred by him in such judicial adjudication or arbitration.  If it shall be determined in such judicial
adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not
all of the indemnification or advance of Expenses sought, the Expenses incurred
by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration
shall be appropriately prorated.

Section 10.             Defense
of the Underlying Proceeding.

(a)           Indemnitee shall
notify the Company promptly upon being served with or receiving any summons,
citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, notice, request or
other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in the right to
indemnification or the advance of Expenses hereunder; provided, however,
that the failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from
the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee, to
indemnification or the advance of Expenses under this Agreement unless the
Company’s ability to defend in such Proceeding or to obtain proceeds under any
insurance policy is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby, and then only
to the extent the Company is thereby actually so prejudiced.

(b)           Subject to the
provisions of the last sentence of this Section 10(b) and of Section
10(c) below, the Company shall have the right to defend Indemnitee in any
Proceeding which may give rise to indemnification hereunder; provided, however,
that the Company shall notify Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within
15 calendar days following receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under Section
10(a) above.  The Company shall not,
without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to the entry of any judgment against
Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an
admission of fault of Indemnitee or (ii) does not include, as an unconditional
term 

 5
 

 

thereof, the
full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding,
which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Indemnitee.  This Section 10(b)
shall not apply to a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee under Section 9
above or Section 14.

(c)           Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 10(b), if in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a
party by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, (i) Indemnitee reasonably
concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, that he may have separate defenses
or counterclaims to assert with respect to any issue which may not be
consistent with other defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) Indemnitee reasonably
concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, that an actual or apparent
conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between
Indemnitee and the Company, or (iii) the Company fails to assume the defense of
such Proceeding in a timely manner, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be
represented by separate legal counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the
prior approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the
expense of the Company.  In addition, if
the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or
in the event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare
this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any Proceeding to deny or
to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to Indemnitee
hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s
choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the Company (subject to Section
9(d)), to represent Indemnitee in connection with any such matter.

Section 11.             Non-Exclusivity;
Survival of Rights.

(a)           The
rights of indemnification and advance of Expenses as provided by this Agreement
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at
any time be entitled under applicable law, the Declaration of Trust or Bylaws
of the Company, any agreement or a resolution of the shareholders entitled to
vote generally in the election of trustees or of the Board of Trustees, or
otherwise.  No amendment, alteration or
repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any
right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or
omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment,
alteration or repeal.

(b)           In the event of any
payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of
such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute
all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights,
including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to
bring suit to enforce such rights.

(c)           The Company shall
not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise
indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise
actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement
or otherwise.

Section 12.            
Duration of Agreement; Binding Effect.

(a)           This
Agreement shall continue until and terminate ten years after the date that
Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director, trustee, officer, employee,
or agent of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which Indemnitee
served at the request of the Company; provided, however, that the
rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall continue until the final termination of
any Proceeding then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of
indemnification or advance of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding
commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9 relating thereto.

(b)           The indemnification
and advance of Expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Agreement
shall be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor
by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of
the business or assets of the Company), shall continue as to an Indemnitee who
has ceased to be a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company
or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the
written request of the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee
and his or her spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators
and other legal representatives.

(c)           The Company shall
require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial
part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the
Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

Section 13.             Severability.  If any provision or provisions of this
Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason
whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of
any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable)
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest
extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such
provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to
the intent manifested thereby.

Section 14.             Limitation
and Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advance of Expenses.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, (a) any indemnification or advance of Expenses to which Indemnitee
is otherwise entitled under the terms of this Agreement shall be made only to
the extent such indemnification or advance of Expenses does not conflict with
applicable Maryland law and (b) Indemnitee shall not be entitled to
indemnification or advance of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any
Proceeding brought by Indemnitee, unless (i) the Proceeding is brought to
enforce indemnification under this 

 7
 

 

Agreement or
otherwise or (ii) the Company’s Bylaws, as amended, the Declaration of Trust, a
resolution of the shareholders entitled to vote generally in the election of
trustees or of the Board of Trustees or an agreement approved by the Board of
Trustees to which the Company is a party expressly provide otherwise.

Section 15.             Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  One such counterpart signed by the party
against whom enforceability is sought shall be sufficient to evidence the
existence of this Agreement.

Section 16.             Headings.  The headings of the paragraphs of this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to
constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

Section 17.             Modification
and Waiver.  No supplement,
modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in
writing by both of the parties hereto. 
No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or
shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not
similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

Section 18.             Notices.  Any notice, report or other communication
required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some
other method of giving such notice, report or other communication is accepted
by the party to whom it is given, and shall be given by being delivered at the

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF UNDERTAKING TO REPAY EXPENSES ADVANCED

The Board of Trustees of HRPT Properties Trust

Re:  Undertaking
to Repay Expenses Advanced

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This undertaking is being provided pursuant to that certain
Indemnification Agreement dated ______________, 2004, by and between HRPT
Properties Trust (the “Company”) and the undersigned Indemnitee (the “Indemnification
Agreement”), pursuant to which I am entitled to advance of expenses in
connection with [Description of Proceeding] (the “Proceeding”).

Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
specified in the Indemnification Agreement.

I am subject to the Proceeding by reason of my Corporate Status or by
reason of alleged actions or omissions by me in such capacity.  I hereby affirm that at all times, insofar as
I was involved as [a trustee]  [an officer] of the Company, in any of the facts or events
giving rise to the Proceeding, I (1) acted in good faith and honestly, (2) did
not receive any improper personal benefit in money, property or services and
(3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
that any act or omission by me was unlawful.

In consideration of the advance of expenses by the Company for
reasonable attorney’s fees and related expenses incurred by me in connection
with the Proceeding (the “Advanced Expenses”), I hereby agree that if, in
connection with the Proceeding, it is established that (1) an act or omission
by me was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (a) was
committed in bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty or (2) I actually received an improper personal benefit in money,
property or services or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, I had
reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful, then I shall
promptly reimburse the portion of the Advanced Expenses relating to the claims,
issues or matters in the Proceeding as to which the foregoing findings have
been established and which have not been successfully resolved as described in Section
5 of the Indemnification Agreement. 
To the extent that Advanced Expenses do not relate to a specific claim,
issue or matter in the Proceeding, I agree that such Expenses shall be
allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I
have executed this Affirmation and Undertaking on this            

day of                               ,
200__.

WITNESS:

____________________________                                               _____________________________(SEAL)
