                               RETENTION AGREEMENT

      RETENTION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") made and entered into as of this __
day of ______________, 2006 by and between FSP INVESTMENTS LLC, a Massachusetts
limited liability company (the "Employer"), FRANKLIN STREET PROPERTIES CORP., a
Maryland corporation ("FSP") and [INSERT EMPLOYEE NAME], an individual resident
of the [State] [Commonwealth] of [Insert State Name] [Massachusetts]
("Employee").

      WHEREAS, the Employer is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FSP;

      WHEREAS, the Employer recognizes that, as is generally the case with
publicly-held corporations, the possibility of a Change in Control exists and
that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions that it may raise among
employees, may result in the departure or distraction of such employees to the
detriment of the Employer and FSP and FSP's stockholders; and

      WHEREAS, the Employer intends for this Agreement to provide protection for
its employees, for so long as such employees remain in the employment of the
Employer, against the exigencies of a Change in Control, but not to otherwise
provide assurance of or rights to continued employment; and

      WHEREAS, should the possibility of a Change in Control arise, in addition
to the Employee's regular duties, the Employee may be called upon to assist in
the assessment of such possible Change in Control, to advise management and the
Board as to whether such Change in Control would be in the best interests of FSP
and to take such other actions as the Board might determine to be appropriate;
and

      WHEREAS, this Agreement is not intended to alter the rights of the
Employee in the absence of a Change in Control with respect to his or her
employment by the Employer, including without limitation his or her compensation
and benefits in connection with such employment, and accordingly this Agreement,
although taking effect as provided above, will be operative only upon a Change
in Control.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter
contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions.

      For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the

      1.3 "Change in Control" shall mean a change in ownership or effective
control of FSP or a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets
of FSP, in each case as defined in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-3(g)(5) or any successor regulations; provided, however, that any
potential future mergers of the Sponsored REITs into FSP shall not be deemed to
be a Change in Control.

      1.4 "Employee's Base Salary" shall mean the annualized base salary of the
Employee in effect at the time of the closing of a transaction constituting a
Change in Control under this Agreement.

      1.5 "Employee's Bonus Opportunity" shall mean an amount equal to __% of
the Employee's Base Salary.

      1.6 "FSP Companies" shall mean FSP and any subsidiaries thereof including,
without limitation, the Employer and FSP Property Management LLC, a
Massachusetts limited liability company.

      1.7 "Investment Executive" shall mean any NASD licensed Employee who is

      2. Payment Upon Change in Control.

      2.1 Provided that the Employee is employed by the Employer on the closing
of any transaction constituting a Change in Control, then the Employer shall pay
to the Employee a lump sum in an amount equal to the [USE FOR INVESTMENT
EXECUTIVES ONLY: Annualized Draw of the Investment Executive][USE FOR INVESTMENT
EXECUTIVE/EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT ONLY: average of the lump sum payments made
by the Employer to each of the Employer's (i) Chief Financial Officer and (ii)
Chief Operating Officer, in each case, pursuant to the Retention Agreement
between the Employer and such individual][USE FOR ALL OTHER EMPLOYEES: (I) sum
of (a) Employee's Base Salary and (b) Employee's Bonus Opportunity, (II) divided
by twelve (12) and (III) multiplied by [INSERT APPLICABLE NUMBER].

soon as practicable following the closing of the Change in Control, but in no
event more than thirty (30) days following the closing of the Change in Control.

<PAGE>

      2.3 Neither the Employer nor the Employee may accelerate delivery of any
payment that may be required to be made pursuant to this Agreement to a date
earlier than the date set forth in this Section 2. Neither the Employer nor the
Employee may defer delivery of any payment that may be required to be made
pursuant to this Agreement unless such deferral complies in all respects with
the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and any successor provision thereto (the "Code"), and any applicable
guidance and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder ("Section 409A").

      2.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any
payment under this Agreement shall be made without regard to whether the
deductibility of such payment (or any other "parachute payments," as that term
is defined in Section 280G of the Code, to or for the Employee's benefit) would
be limited or precluded by Section 280G and without regard to whether such
payment (or any other "parachute payments" as so defined) would subject the
Employee to the federal excise tax levied on certain "excess parachute payments"
under Section 4999 of the Code; provided, however, that if the total of all
"parachute payments" to or for the Employee's benefit, after reduction for all
federal, state and local taxes (including the tax described in Section 4999 of
the Code, if applicable) with respect to such payments (the "Total After-Tax
Payments"), would be increased by the limitation or elimination of any payment
under this Agreement or any "parachute payments" under other agreements or
arrangements between the Employee and the Employer or FSP or any successor
entity, then the amount payable under this Agreement (or the "parachute payment"
under such other agreement or arrangement as the Employer and the Employee shall
mutually determine) shall be reduced to the extent, and only to the extent,
necessary to maximize the Total After-Tax Payments. The determination as to
whether and to what extent any payment under this Agreement (or the "parachute
payment" under such other agreement or arrangement) are required to be reduced
in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be made at the Employer's
expense by a nationally recognized accounting firm retained by the Employer. In
the event of any underpayment or overpayment under this Agreement (or such other
agreement or arrangement) as determined by the accounting firm, the amount of
such underpayment or overpayment shall forthwith be paid to the Employee or
refunded to the Employer, as the case may be, with interest at the applicable
federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

3.    Miscellaneous.

that was withheld during the period of the dispute plus interest at the rate
