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.

The Purchaser shall make any such

election by written notice to the Seller given on or prior to the fifth (5^th) 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) 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.

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

(ii) percentage rents and other unfixed charges payable under the Leases;

(iii) fuel, electric, water and other utility costs;

(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 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 the responsibility of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller at the Closing for all such brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts 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 Leases entered into by the Seller prior to the date hereof.

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 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.

SECTION 11. DEFAULT.

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 or (y) pursue a suit for specific performance.

This Agreement may not be amended, nor shall any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge be effected, except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge is sought.

12.6. Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 12.15, this Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable, directly or indirectly, by any party without the written consent of the other, except that the Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any entity wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by the Purchaser; provided, however, that, in the event this Agreement shall be assigned to any one or more entities wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by the Purchaser, the Purchaser named herein shall remain liable for the obligations of the “Purchaser” hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in or to be enforceable in any part by any other persons.

12.7. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be 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, 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.

If any lawsuit or arbitration or other legal proceeding arises in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing party therein shall be entitled to receive from the other party the prevailing party’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, in preparation therefor and on appeal therefrom, which amounts shall be included in any judgment therein.

12.11. Section and Other Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

12.12. Time of Essence. Time shall be of the essence with respect to the performance of each and every covenant and obligation, and the giving of all notices, under this Agreement.

12.13. Governing 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 shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties.

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 (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator upon the matter so 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, 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.

Housing Properties Trust. All persons dealing with the Purchaser, in any way shall look only to the assets of the Purchaser for the payment of any sum or the performance of any obligation.

12.19. 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).
