LEASE REALIGNMENT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.1

This Lease Realignment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made August 4, 2009, among Senior Housing Properties Trust (“SNH”) and its subsidiaries listed on the signature page to this Agreement (together with SNH, the “SNH Parties”) and Five Star Quality Care, Inc. (“Five Star”) and its subsidiaries listed on the signature page to this Agreement (together with Five Star, the “Five Star Parties” and together with the SNH Parties, the “Parties”).

RECITAL

Certain of the SNH Parties and certain of the Five Star Parties are, respectively, landlords and tenants under the leases listed on Schedule A (collectively, the “Leases”) of skilled nursing, intermediate care, independent living, assisted living, special care and group home facilities, rehabilitation hospital, clinic or professional level health or medical services facilities, and other healthcare properties identified in the Leases (collectively, “Leased Properties”).

To facilitate a term loan (“Term Loan”) to be made to SNH FM Financing LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of SNH (“SNH Financing”), by Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), the Parties have agreed to (a) amend and restate the Leases numbered 1-4 on Schedule A (collectively, as amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Leases”) to, inter alia, change the pools of Leased Properties demised thereunder and to further amend (the “First Amendment”) the Amended and Restated Lease under which the Leased Properties identified on Schedule B (the “Mortgaged Properties”) will be leased (the “Term Loan Lease”), (b) amend and restate the security agreements from the tenants under the Amended and Restated Leases (collectively, the “Amended and Restated Security Agreements”), (c) amend and restate certain of the subleases under the Amended and Restated Leases, (collectively, the “Amended and Restated Subleases”), (d) amend and restate the security agreements from the subtenants under the Amended and Restated Subleases (collectively, the “Amended and Restated Subtenant Security Agreements”), (e) amend and restate the Five Star guarantees and the subtenants’ guarantees of the Amended and Restated Leases (collectively, the “Amended and Restated Guarantys”), (f) terminate all pledges of equity interests of tenants and subtenants under the Leases and an assignment and security agreement with respect to reserves for furniture, fixtures and equipment thereunder (collectively, the “Termination Agreements”), (g) the sale by certain of the Five Star Parties to the SNH Party that is the landlord under the Term Loan Lease of furniture, fixtures and equipment (the “FF&E”) located at the Mortgaged Properties, (h) the pledge by certain of the Five Star Parties to Citibank of inventory and equipment used at the Mortgaged Properties and leases, rents, contracts and accounts receivable relating to or arising from operation of the Mortgaged Properties pursuant to Subordination, Assignment and Security Agreements (the “SASAs”) and certain further amendments to the Term Loan Lease as provided therein, and (i) conform certain reporting and operational obligations of those Five Star Parties which are tenants and/or operators of the Mortgaged Properties to those required by the Term Loan.

In addition, to facilitate the Term Loan, certain of the Five Star Parties have been in negotiation with Citibank with respect to agreements and instruments to be executed and delivered by them in connection therewith and with Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia”) with respect to amendments to their credit facility with Wachovia.

In connection with all of the foregoing, the Parties have agreed to certain accommodations to facilitate the Term Loan.

Now, therefore, the Parties agree:

1. Execution and Delivery. Contemporaneously with the closing of the Term Loan, the Amended and Restated Leases, the First Amendment, the Amended and Restated Security Agreements, the Amended and Restated Subleases, the Amended and Restated Subtenant Security Agreements, the Amended and Restated Guarantys, the Termination Agreements, the SASAs, bills of sale for the FF&E and all other agreements, instruments and documents required in connection therewith will be executed and delivered by the SNH Parties and the Five Star Parties which are parties thereto in the forms agreed to by such Parties.

2. Common Stock. Contemporaneously with the closing of the Term Loan, SNH will purchase and Five Star will sell 3,200,000 shares of Five Star’s common stock, par value $0.01 (the “FVE Common Stock”), and Five Star and SNH will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement in the form of Exhibit A (the “Registration Rights Agreement”); provided, however, that Five Star shall not issue the FVE Common Stock to SNH until Five Star receives notification from the NYSE Amex LLC of the NYSE Amex LLC’s approval for listing with the NYSE Amex LLC the FVE Common Stock to be issued by Five Star to SNH pursuant to this Section 2. Five Star agrees to submit within five business days of the date of this Agreement a listing application with the NYSE Amex LLC for listing approval with the NYSE Amex LLC of the FVE Common Stock.

3. Consideration. In consideration for the purchase and sale of the FF&E, the FVE Common Stock and certain other accommodations afforded the SNH Parties by the FVE Parties as contemplated by this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments and documents executed and delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and as reimbursement for certain internal costs of the Five Star Parties, contemporaneously with the closing of the Term Loan, SNH will pay Five Star $18,600,000 in cash and effect the rent reduction provided in Section 5 hereof.

4. Expenses. Upon receipt of invoices and in addition to the payment provided in Section 3 hereof, SNH will pay all past and future out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the Five Star Parties in connection with or arising from the negotiation and closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (but not costs and expenses of continued maintenance or compliance) and the other agreements, instruments and documents executed and delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including all past and future costs and expenses in connection with or arising from the organization (but not the continued maintenance) of additional subsidiaries and licensing.

5. Rent Reduction. Minimum Rent (defined in the Amended and Restated Leases) for the Amended and Restated Lease which includes the Leased Properties known as the New England Rehabilitation Hospital and the Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital will, upon closing of the Term Loan, be reduced by an annual amount equal to $2,000,000 until the expiration or sooner termination of the Fixed Term (as defined in that Amended and Restated Lease).

6. Uneconomic Properties. So long as the First Amendment is effective (as such amendment may be amended or modified from time to time), if the tenant under the Term Loan Lease reasonably determines that it is no longer economically practical to operate a Mortgaged Property as it is then operated and desires to market such Mortgaged Property for sale or to replace such Mortgaged Property with another property which is not then a Mortgaged Property, then upon notice to SNH with supporting information, to the extent SNH Financing may then do so in compliance with its covenants under the Term Loan, and so long as SNH Financing would not be subject to any make-whole or similar payment, the landlord under the Term Loan Lease will reasonably cooperate with the tenant and negotiate in good faith with Citibank (or its successors) to permit such a sale or replacement of such Mortgaged Property, subject to any required prepayment of the Term Loan not being in excess of the sale proceeds if the Mortgaged Property is sold or, if the Mortgaged Property is to be replaced, to no prepayment being required, and to permit an amendment of the Term Loan Lease to reduce the Minimum Rent (defined in the Term Loan Lease) upon such sale, consistent with the terms of the Term Loan Lease as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the First Amendment, or upon such replacement, to adjust the Minimum Rent, if appropriate, on terms acceptable to the landlord and tenant. To the extent such sale or replacement could not be done by SNH Financing in compliance with its covenants under the Term Loan, SNH Financing shall negotiate in good faith with Citibank (or its successors) to obtain the consent of Citibank (or its successors) to such sale or replacement, subject to the other qualifications of the immediately preceding sentence.

7. Cooperation. Each of the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to cooperate with each other in connection with the foregoing, whether before or after the closing of the Term Loan. Additionally, the Five Star Parties will timely provide the SNH Parties with information and documentation reflecting the historical cost basis of the Five Star Parties in the FF&E.

8. Redemption and Compliance. Five Star shall not and shall cause its subsidiaries not to offer to redeem or redeem any shares of Five Star common stock if as a result of such redemption the FVE Common Stock issued to SNH by Five Star pursuant to this Agreement would then represent more than 9.8% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Five Star common stock; provided for these purposes, shares issued to officers and employees which are subject to vesting or similar restrictions shall not be deemed to be issued and outstanding. Five Star will reasonably cooperate with any SNH request involving SNH’s compliance with section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (including the applicable attribution rules of section 856(d)(5)).

9. Transfer Restrictions. Subject to ownership limitations in Five Star’s governing instruments, as they may be in effect from time to time, for so long as Five Star may have net operating loss carryforwards or similar tax benefits which may be applied to Five Star’s future taxable income and the application of such loss carryforwards or benefits may be limited as a result of ownership changes in Five Star’s stock pursuant to applicable tax law, regulations or rules, SNH shall not sell, dispose or otherwise transfer, or offer to do the same, without Five Star’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), any shares of the FVE Common Stock.

10. Indemnity. Should any of the Parties default in its obligations under the Term Loan or any agreement, document or instrument executed in connection therewith, such defaulting Parties will pay or reimburse any other Party for any cost, expense, loss or damage suffered or incurred by such other Party as a result of such default.

(including Reit Management & Research LLC or its successor), agent or employee of either SNH or Five Star, including disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the declaration of trust or the bylaws of SNH or the charter or bylaws of Five Star (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”) or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes, shall on the demand of any party to such Dispute be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except as modified herein.

If any arbitrator has not been nominated within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.

(c) The place of arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

(d) There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators.

(e) In rendering an award or decision (the “Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The Award shall be in writing and may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based.

(f) Except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement or as otherwise agreed between the parties, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action by a shareholder of either SNH or Five Star, award any portion of SNH’s or Five Star’s award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys. Each

party (or, if there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third appointed arbitrator.

(g) The Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators. Judgment upon the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(h) Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset. The party against which the Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the 30th day following the date of the Award or such other date as the Award may provide.

17. Miscellaneous.

(a) No Waiver. No failure by any Party to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.

(b) Severability. Any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or provision of this Agreement held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or ineffective shall not impair, invalidate or nullify the remainder of this Agreement, but rather the effect thereof shall be confined to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section or provision so held to be invalid, illegal or ineffective, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or ineffective provisions had never been contained therein.
