Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 15, 2008 (the “Term Loan Closing Date”), Franklin Street Properties Corp. (the “Company”), certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, RBS Citizens, National Association (“Citizens”), Bank of America, N.A. and Wachovia Bank, National Association (together with Citizens, the “Term Loan Lenders”) entered into that certain Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) to provide for a $75,000,000.00 (the “Term Loan Amount”) unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”).  The proceeds of the Term Loan will be used to pay down a portion of the outstanding balance on the Company’s existing $250,000,000.00 revolving line of credit facility (the “Revolver Loan”) by and among the Company, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, the Term Loan Lenders and Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B. (collectively, the “Revolver Loan Lenders”).  The Company intends to use the increased availability under the Revolver Loan for property acquisitions.  Borrowings made under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate based either on Citizens’ prime rate or on a LIBOR rate, as determined by the Company at the time of borrowing.  Amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement may not be prepaid at any time in whole or in part during the first year.  Thereafter, amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement may be prepaid at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty, with limited exceptions.  The Term Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, as well as customary events of default and affirmative covenants. In addition, there are customary negative covenants, including financial covenants and covenants relating to liens, investments, indebtedness, fundamental changes, dispositions, and dividends and distributions. The Term Loan Agreement terminates and any outstanding amounts under it mature on October 15, 2011 (the “Initial Term Loan Maturity Date”).  The Company has the right to extend the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date for up to two successive one-year periods upon payment of an extension fee and satisfaction of the other terms and conditions described in the Term Loan Agreement.  Interest only is due on amounts outstanding under the Term Loan until the second anniversary of the Term Loan Closing Date.  Thereafter, the Term Loan Agreement requires monthly payments of principal and interest following a 30-year loan amortization schedule.  On the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date (as such date may be extended), all accrued interest, principal and other charges shall be due and payable in full.

Although the interest rate options under the Term Loan Agreement are variable, under the Term Loan Agreement the Company is required to fix the interest rate through the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date by entering into an interest rate swap agreement with Citizens.  If the Company elects to exercise one or more of its one-year extension periods, the Company may, in its discretion, enter into one or more interest rate swap agreements for either or both extension periods.  Accordingly, on the Term Loan Closing Date, the Company entered into an ISDA Master Agreement (together with the schedule and swap transaction relating thereto, the “ISDA Master Agreement”) with Citizens that fixes the interest rate on the Term Loan through the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date at 5.84% per annum.

On the Term Loan Closing Date, the Company, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and the Revolver Loan Lenders entered into a First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Revolver Loan Amendment”).  The Revolver Loan Amendment amends the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated October 19, 2007 by and among the Company, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and the Revolver Loan Lenders that evidences the Revolver Loan.  More specifically, the Revolver Loan Amendment, among other items, amends certain financial covenants and other terms and conditions in the Revolver Loan Agreement to conform them to the Term Loan Agreement.

The Term Loan Agreement, the ISDA Master Agreement and the Revolver Loan Amendment are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summaries of the Term Loan Agreement, the ISDA Master Agreement and the Revolver Loan Amendment are qualified in their entirety by the complete text of the Term Loan Agreement, the ISDA Master Agreement and the Revolver Loan Amendment filed herewith.

No event has occurred nor failed to occur which occurrence or failure is, or with the passage of time or giving of notice (or both) would constitute an Event of Default (as described herein), whether or not the Agent and the Lenders has exercised any of its rights upon such occurrence or failure.
 
 
(e)
The Borrower shall immediately become indebted to the Lenders for the amount of each Advance when such Advance is made for or on behalf of the Borrower.

2.5.3                 Notice.  A “Notice of Rate Selection” shall be a written notice, given by cable, tested telex, telecopier (with authorized signature), or by telephone if immediately confirmed by such a written notice, from an authorized representative of Borrower which: (i) is irrevocable; (ii) is received by Agent not later than 10:00 o’clock A.M. Eastern Time: (a) if an Adjusted Libor Rate is selected, at least three (3) Business Days but not more than five (5) Business Days prior to the requested Drawdown Date or the end of the current Interest Period to which such selection is to apply or (b) if a Variable Rate is selected, on the day on which such Loan is funded; (iii) as to each selected interest rate option, sets forth the aggregate principal amount(s) to which such interest rate option(s) shall apply and the Interest Period(s) applicable to each Libor Advance; provided, however, that no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Advances may be converted to, or continued as, LIBOR Advances when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Advances may be converted to LIBOR Advances of a different duration if such LIBOR Advances relate to any Hedging Obligations.  In the absence of delivery of a continuation/conversion notice with respect to any LIBOR Advances at least three Business Days before the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such LIBOR Rate Loan shall, on such last day, automatically convert to a loan that accrues interest by reference to the LIBOR Rate Loans for a thirty (30) day period.
 
2.5.4                 Hedging Contracts.  The Borrower shall enter into a Hedging Contract for the initial three (3) year term of the Loan.  If the Extended Term is exercised by the Borrower, the Borrower may, at its discretion, enter into one or more Hedging Contracts for either or both Extension Periods.
 
2.5.5                 Telephonic Notice.  Without any way limiting Borrower’s obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by Agent in good faith to be from Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation.  In each case Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic Notice of Rate Selection in the absence of manifest error.
 
2.5.6                 Limits On Options.  One Selection Per Month.  Each Libor Advance shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.  At no time shall there be outstanding a total of more than five (5) Libor Advances combined at any time.  If Borrower shall make more than one (1) Libor Rate Loan interest rate selection in any thirty (30) day period, excluding conversions of outstanding advances made at the end of an applicable Interest Period of any previously outstanding Libor Advance, Agent may impose and Borrower shall pay a reasonable processing fee for each such additional selection.  This limitation on interest rate selection shall not limit the number of Advances which may be requested by the Borrower in any thirty (30) day period.
 
2.5.7                 Payment and Calculation of Interest.  All interest shall be:  (a) Payable in arrears commencing November 1, 2008 and on the last day of each Libor Interest Period thereafter until the principal together with all interest and other charges payable with respect to the Loan shall be fully paid; and (b) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.  Each change in the Prime Rate shall simultaneously change the Variable Rate payable under this Agreement.  Interest at the Adjusted Libor Rate shall be computed from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to, but excluding, the last day thereof.
 

 
4
 
 

2.5.8                 Principal.  Commencing on the date that is the end of the Libor Interest Period immediately following the second year anniversary of the date of this Agreement, and continuing on the same day of each calendar month thereafter, the Borrower shall make monthly payments of principal following  a loan amortization payment schedule over 30 years.  The entire principal balance shall be due and payable in full at the Maturity Date.
 
2.5.9                 Prepayment.  The Loan may not be prepaid during the first year of the Loan.  Thereafter, the Loan or any portion thereof may be prepaid in full or in part at any time upon three (3) Business Days, prior written notice to Agent without premium or penalty with respect to Variable Rate Advances and, with respect to Libor Advances subject to a Make-Whole Provision and upon payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan Prepayment Fee, if applicable.  Any partial prepayment of principal shall first be applied in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
2.5.10                 Maturity.  On the Maturity Date all accrued interest, principal and other charges due with respect to the Loan shall be due and payable in full and the principal balance and such other charges, but not unpaid interest, shall continue to bear interest at the Default Rate until so paid.
 
2.5.11                 Method of Payment; Date of Credit.  All payments of interest, principal and fees shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or set off and free and clear, and without any deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other payments (a) by direct charge to an account of Borrower maintained with Agent (or the then holder of the Loan), or (b) by wire transfer to Agent or (c) to such other bank or address as the Agent may designate in a written notice to Borrower.  Payments shall be credited on the Business Day on which immediately available funds are received prior to 10:00 o’clock A.M. Eastern Time; payments received after ten o’clock A.M. Eastern Time shall be credited to the Loan on the next Business Day, payments which are by check, which Agent may at its option accept or reject, or which are not in the form of immediately available funds shall not be credited to the Loan until such funds become immediately available to Agent, and, with respect to payments by check, such credit shall be provisional until the item is finally paid by the payer bank.
 
2.5.12                 Billings.  Agent may submit monthly billings reflecting payments due; however, any changes in the interest rate which occur between the date of billing and the due date may be reflected in the billing for a subsequent month. Neither the failure of Agent to submit a billing nor any error in any such billing shall excuse Borrower from the obligation to make full payment of all Borrower’s payment obligations when due.
 
2.5.13                 Default Rate.  Agent shall have the option of imposing, and Borrower shall pay upon billing therefor, an interest rate which is four percent (4%) per annum above the Variable Rate (“Default Rate”):  (a) following any Event of Default, unless and until the Event of Default is cured or waived by Agent; and (b) after the Maturity Date.  Borrower’s right to select pricing options shall cease upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
 
2.5.14                 Late Charges.  Borrower shall pay, upon billing therefor, a “Late Charge” equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of any payment of principal, other than principal due at Maturity, interest, or both, which is not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof.  Late charges are:  (a) payable in addition to, and not in limitation of, the Default Rate, (b) intended to compensate Agent and the Lenders for administrative and processing costs incident to late payments, (c) are not interest, and (d) shall not be subject to refund or rebate or credited against any other amount due.

2.5.15                 Voluntary Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans.  LIBOR Advances may be prepaid upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.  For LIBOR Advances in connection with which the Borrower has or may incur Hedging Obligations, additional obligations may be associated with prepayment, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Hedging Contracts.   The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least three (3) Business Days notice of any proposed prepayment of any LIBOR Advances, specifying the proposed date of payment of such LIBOR Advances, and the principal amount to be paid.  Each partial prepayment of the principal amount of LIBOR Advances shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000.00 and accompanied by the payment of all charges outstanding on such LIBOR Advances and of all accrued interest on the principal repaid to the date of payment.  Borrower acknowledges that prepayment or acceleration of a LIBOR Advance during an Interest Period shall result in the Lender incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities.  Therefore, all full or partial prepayments of LIBOR Advances shall be accompanied by, and the Borrower hereby promises to pay, on each date a LIBOR Advance is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and payable prior to their stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, in addition to all other sums then owing, an amount (“LIBOR Rate Loan Prepayment Fee”) determined by the Agent pursuant to the following formula:
 
 
(a)
the then current rate for United States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent) with a maturity date closest to the end of the Interest Period as to which prepayment is made, subtracted from
 
 
(b)
the Adjusted Libor Rate applicable to the Libor Advance being prepaid.
 
If the result of this calculation is zero or a negative number, then there shall be no LIBOR Rate Loan Prepayment Fee.  If the result of this calculation is a positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by:
 
 
(c)
the amount of the Libor Advance being prepaid.
 
The resulting amount shall be divided by:
 
 
(d)
360
 
and multiplied by:
 
 
(e)
the number of days remaining in the Interest Period as to which the prepayment is being made.
 
Said amount shall be reduced to present value calculated by using the referenced United States Treasury securities rate and the number of days remaining on the Interest Period for the Libor Advance being prepaid.
 

 
6
 
 

The resulting amount of these calculations shall be the LIBOR Advance Prepayment Fee.
 
2.5.16                 Make Whole Provision.  In addition to the LIBOR Rate Loan Prepayment Fee, the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lenders (without duplication) for any increase in the cost to the Lenders, or reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by the Lenders, in respect, or as a result of:
 
 
(a)
any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Libor Advances on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether voluntary or otherwise;
 
 
(b)
any loans not being made as Libor Advances in accordance with the borrowing request thereof;
 
 
(c)
any Libor Advances not being continued as, or converted into, LIBOR Advances in accordance with the continuation/conversion notice thereof, or
 
 
(d)
without duplication of any costs incurred by the Borrower under any Hedging Contracts, any costs associated with marking to market any Hedging Obligations that (in the reasonable determination of the Agent unless another method of calculating costs is otherwise specified pursuant to the terms of any Hedging Contracts) are required to be terminated as a result of any conversion, repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Advances on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether voluntary or otherwise;
 
The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, such notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefore and the additional amount required fully to compensate the Agent for such increased cost or reduced amount.  Such additional amounts shall be payable by the Borrower to the Agent within five Business Days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.  The Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (i) the Agent does not have any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR Rate as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Advance, (ii) the LIBOR Rate may be used merely as a reference in determining such rate, and (iii) the Borrower has accepted the LIBOR Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate, the LIBOR Rate Prepayment Fee, and other funding losses incurred by the Lenders.  Borrower further agrees to pay the LIBOR Rate Prepayment Fee and other funding losses, if any, whether or not the Lenders elect to purchase, sell and/or match funds.
 
2.6           Additional Provisions Related to Interest Rate Selection.
 
2.6.1                 Increased Costs.   If on or after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation or guideline (whether or not having the force of law), or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lenders with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:
 

 
7
 
 

 
(a)
shall subject the Lenders to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its LIBOR Advances or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lenders of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Advances or any other amounts due under this agreement in respect of its LIBOR Advances or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances (except for the introduction of, or change in the rate of, tax on the overall net income of the Lenders or franchise taxes, imposed by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof) under the laws of which the Lenders are organized or in which the Lenders’ principal executive offices are located); or
 
 
(b)
shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lenders or shall impose on the Lenders or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting its LIBOR Advances or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances;
 
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining any LIBOR Advances, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lenders under this Agreement with respect thereto, by an amount reasonably deemed by the Lenders to be material, then, within 15 days after written demand by the Agent (which demand shall specify in detail the reasons for same), the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lenders for such increased cost or reduction.
 
2.6.2                 Increased Capital Costs.  If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender, and a Lender determines that the rate of return on capital as a consequence of its commitments or the loans made by the Lender is reduced to a level below that which the Lender could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon written notice from time to time by the Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall promptly pay directly to the Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate for such reduction in rate of return.  A statement of the Lenders as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.  In determining such amount, the Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it shall deem applicable.
 
2.6.3                 Taxes.  All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the LIBOR Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by the Lender’s net income or receipts (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”).  In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower will
 

 
8
 
 

 
(a)
pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;
 
 
(b)
promptly forward to the Lender an official receipt or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Lender evidencing such payment to such authority; and
 
 
(c)
pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Lender will equal the full amount the Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.
 
Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Lender with respect to any payment received by the Lender hereunder, the Lender may pay such Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by the Lender after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount the Lender would have received had not such Taxes been asserted.
 
If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Lender as a result of any such failure.
 
2.6.4                 Libor Rate Lending Unlawful.   If the Agent shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, rule, regulation or guideline, (whether or not having the force of law) makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for the Lenders to make, continue or maintain any Libor Advance as, or to convert any loan into, a Libor Advance of a certain duration, the obligations of the Lenders to make, continue, maintain or convert into any such Libor Advances shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all Libor Advances of such type shall automatically convert into Variable Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.
 
2.6.5                 Additional Libor Conditions.  The selection by Borrower of an Adjusted Libor Rate and the maintenance of the Loan at such rate shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:
 
 
(i)
Substitute Rate.  If the Agent shall have determined that
 
(a)           US dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to the Agent in the London interbank market;
 

 
9
 
 
 
(b)           by reason of circumstances affecting the Agent in the London interbank, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Libor Rate applicable hereunder to Libor Advances of any duration, or
 
(c)           Libor no longer adequately reflects the Lender’s cost of funding loans,
 
then, upon notice from the Agent to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders under Section 2.5 to make or continue any loans as, or to convert any loans into, Libor Advances of such duration shall forthwith be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
 
2.6.6        Variable Rate Advances.  Each Variable Rate Advance shall continue as a Variable Rate Advance until the Maturity Date of the Loan, unless sooner converted, in whole or in part, to a Libor Advance, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
 
2.7           The Loan Account.
 
 
(a)
An account (the “Loan Account”) shall be opened on the books of the Agent, in which Loan Account a record may be kept of all Advances made by the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement and of all payments thereon.
 
 
(b)
The Agent may also keep a record (either in the Loan Account or elsewhere, as the Agent may from time to time elect) of all interest, fees, service charges, costs, expenses, and other debits owed the Agent and/or the Lenders on account of the Obligations and of all credits against such amounts so owed.
 
 
(c)
All credits against the Obligations shall be conditional upon final payment to the Lender of the items giving rise to such credits.  The amount of any item credited against the Obligations which is charged back against the Lender for any reason or is not so paid shall be an Obligation and shall be added to the Loan Account, whether or not the item so charged back or not so paid is returned.
 
 
(d)
Except as otherwise provided herein, all fees, service charges, costs, and expenses for which the Borrower is obligated hereunder are payable thirty (30) days after the invoice date.  The Lenders, without the request of the Borrower, may make an advance of any interest, fee, service charge, or other payment to which the Agent and/or the Lenders are entitled from the Borrower pursuant hereto and may charge the same to the Loan Account notwithstanding that such amount so advanced may result in the Loan Amount being exceeded.  Such action on the part of the Lenders shall not constitute a waiver of the Lenders’ rights under Section 2.4(b), above.  Any amount which is added to the principal balance of the Loan Account as provided in this subsection shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable from time to time to the unpaid principal balance of the Loan Account.
 
 
(e)
Any statement rendered by the Agent to the Borrower concerning the Obligations shall be considered correct and accepted by the Borrower and shall be conclusively binding upon the Borrower unless the Borrower provides the Agent with written objection thereto within thirty (30) days from the mailing of such statement, which written objection shall indicate, with particularity, the reason for such objection.  The Loan Account and the Agent’s books and records concerning the loan arrangement contemplated herein and the Obligations shall be prima facie evidence of the items described therein.
 

 
10
 
 

2.8           Extension Rights.  Agent and Lenders shall grant a request by Borrower to extend the Initial Maturity Date of the Note for two (2) successive one (1) year periods (each an “Extended Maturity”) until October 15, 2012 (the “First Extension Period”) and until October 15, 2013 (the “Second Extension Period”) each extension period (the “Extension Period”), upon and subject to the following terms and conditions:
 
2.9           Basic Conditions for Each Extension Period.  Unless otherwise agreed by Agent in writing:
 
 
(a)
Borrower shall request each such extension, if at all, by written notice to Agent at least ninety (90) days prior to the next applicable Maturity Date.  Such notice may be revoked by Borrower prior to the then existing Maturity Date; provided, however, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse Agent for any expenses incurred to date.
 
 
(b)
All applicable regulatory requirements applicable to Lenders, including appraisal requirements, shall have been satisfied with respect to the extension and any costs associated therewith paid by Borrower.

3.           THE NOTES.  The obligation of the Borrower to pay the Loan Amount or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances made by the Lenders hereunder plus accrued interest thereon, shall be evidenced by Notes and payable in accordance therewith.  In the event any of the Notes are lost, destroyed or mutilated at any time prior to payment in full of the indebtedness evidenced thereby, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the applicable Lender a new note substantially in the form of the Note and the applicable Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower an affidavit and indemnification reasonably acceptable to Borrower with respect to such lost Note.
 
4.           FEES.   The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders such fees as agreed to by and between the Agent and the Borrower in the Fee Letter.

18.9           Agent in its Individual Capacity.  With respect to its Commitment as a Lender, and the Loans made by it and the Note issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as thought it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity.  The Agent and its subsidiaries and affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of commercial or investment banking, trust, advisory or other business with the Borrower or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Agent hereunder.

The Agent shall be fully protected as to the Lenders in so acting or refraining from acting upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, and such instruction shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

The Agent may, in its discretion but without obligation, in the absence of direction from the Required Lenders, take such interim actions as it believes necessary to preserve the rights of the Lenders hereunder, including but not limited to petitioning a court for injunctive relief, appointment of a receiver or preservation of the proceeds of any action taken.  Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation the Notes, other than through the Agent.

18.12.2      Nature of Obligations of Lenders.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint.  Failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not result in any other Lender becoming obligated to advance more than its Commitment Percentage of the Loan, nor shall such failure release or diminish the obligations of any other Lender to fund its Commitment Percentage provided herein.

18.12.4      Distribution of Liquidation Proceeds.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Agent shall distribute all Liquidation Proceeds in the order and manner set forth below:

Third:
 
To all applicable Lenders based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been paid in full any Individual Lender Litigation Expenses.
 
   
Fourth:
 
To all Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been paid in full all principal and interest due to such Lenders under the Loan, with each Lender applying such proceeds for purposes of this Agreement first against the outstanding principal balance due to such Lender under the Loan and then to accrued and unpaid interest due under the Loan.
 

 
41
 
 


Fifth:
 
To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been paid in full all other amounts due to such Lenders under the Loan including, without limitation, any costs and expenses incurred directly by such Lenders to the extent such costs and expenses are reimbursable to such Lenders by the Borrower under the Loan Documents.
 
   
Sixth:
 
To the Borrower or such third parties as may be entitled to claim Liquidation Proceeds.
 

18.12.5         Adjustments.  If, after Agent has paid each Lender’s proportionate share of any payment received or applied by Agent in respect of the Loan, that payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by Agent, whether pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law, sharing of payments clause of any loan agreement or otherwise, such Lender shall, at Agent’s request, promptly return its proportionate share of such payment or application to Agent, together with the Lender’s proportionate share of any interest or other amount required to be paid by Agent with respect to such payment or application.
 
18.12.6         Setoff.  If any Lender (including the Agent), acting in its individual capacity, shall exercise any right of setoff against a deposit balance or other account of the Borrower held by such Lender on account of the Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, such lender shall remit to the Agent all such sums received pursuant to the exercise of such right of setoff, and the Agent shall apply all such sums for the benefit of all of the Lenders hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
18.12.7         Distribution by Agent.  If in the opinion of the Agent distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder or under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve any liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or has been resolved by the mutual consent of all Lenders.  In addition, the Agent may request full and complete indemnity, in form and substance satisfactory to it, prior to making any such distribution.  If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over to the same in such manner and to such persons as shall be determined by such court.
 
18.13            Delinquent Lender.  If for any reason any Lender shall fail or refuse to abide by its obligations under the Agreement, including without limitation its obligation to make available to Agent its pro rata share of any Loan, expenses or setoff (a “Delinquent Lender”) and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days of receipt from the Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Agent, other Lenders, the Borrower or any other party at law or in equity, and not at limitation thereof, (i) such Delinquent Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Loans, this
 

 
42
 
 

Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal, and (ii) a Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of the outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-delinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of the outstanding Loans until, as a result of application of such assigned payments the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all the outstanding Loans shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.  The Delinquent Lender’s decision-making and participation rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Delinquent Lender of its pro rata share of any Loans or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid.
 
The non-delinquent Lenders shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to acquire for no cash consideration (pro rata, based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right) the Delinquent Lender’s Commitment to fund future Loans (the “Future Commitment”).  Upon any such purchase of the pro rata share of any Delinquent Lender’s Future Commitment, the Delinquent Lender’s share in future Loans and its rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Delinquent Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance.  Each Delinquent Lender shall indemnify Agent and each non-delinquent Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and funds advanced by Agent or by any non-delinquent Lender, on account of an Delinquent Lender’s failure to timely fund its pro rata share of a Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
 
18.14            Holders.  The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Agent.  Any request, authority or consent of any person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
 
18.15            Assignment and Participation.
 
18.15.1         Conditions to Assignment by Lenders.  Except as provided herein, each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (or one or more banks or other financial institutions while an Event of Default exists) all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it), upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) each of the Agent and the Borrower shall have given its prior written consent to such assignment (provided that, in the case of the Borrower, such consent will not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if an assignment is to an Eligible Assignee), (b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s

MASTER AGREEMENT
dated as of …October 15, 2008……………..
 
……RBS Citizens, N.A. ……and……Franklin Street Properties Corp. …………
 
have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a “Transaction”) that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which includes the schedule (the “Schedule”), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a “Confirmation”) exchanged between the parties confirming those Transactions.
 
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:  —
 
1.    Interpretation
 
Definitions.  The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.
 
(a)           Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule will prevail.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction.
 
(b)           Single Agreement.  All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this “Agreement”), and the parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.
 
2. 
Obligations
 
(a)           General Conditions.
 
(i)           Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement.
 
(ii)           Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the required currency.  Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.
 
(iii)           Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and (3) each other applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement.

(b)           Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to such change.
 
(c)           Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:—
 
(i)           in the same currency; and
 
(ii)           in respect of the same Transaction,
 
by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party’s obligation to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.
 
The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction.  The election may be made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election, together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date).  This election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive payments or deliveries.
 
(d)           Deduction or Withholding for Tax.
 
(i)           Gross-Up.  All payments under this Agreement will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in effect.  If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party (“X”) will:—
 
(1)           promptly notify the other party (“Y”) of such requirement;
 
(2)           pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Y;
 
(3)           promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such authorities; and
 
(4)           if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.  However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for:—
 
(A)           the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or
 
(B)           the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law.

(ii)           Liability.  If:  —
 
(1)           X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);
 
(2)           X does not so deduct or withhold; and
 
(3)           a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against X,
 
then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).
 
(e)           Default Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default Rate.  Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.  If, prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.
 
3. 
Representations
 
Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the termination of this Agreement) that:—

(iii)           No Violation or Conflict.  Such execution, delivery and performance do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets;
 
(iv)           Consents. All governmental and other consents that are required to have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with; and
 
(v)           Obligations Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement and any Credit Support Document to which it is a party constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganisation, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)).

(b)           Absence of Certain Events. No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or, to its knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has occurred and is continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as a result of its entering into or performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party.
 
(c)           Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it or any of its Affiliates any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental body, agency or official or any arbitrator that is likely to affect the legality, validity or enforceability against it of this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or such Credit Support Document.
 
(d)           Accuracy of Specified Information. All applicable information that is furnished in writing by or on behalf of it to the other party and is identified for the purpose of this Section 3(d) in the Schedule is, as of the date of the information, true, accurate and complete in every material respect.

in each case by the date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation or, if none is specified, as soon as reasonably practicable.

(1)           is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (2) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors; (4) institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors’ rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up or liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A) results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an order for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or liquidation or (B) is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days of the institution or presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution passed for its winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (6) seeks or becomes subject to the appointment of an administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or substantially all its assets; (7) has a secured party take possession of all or substantially all its assets or has a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal process levied, enforced or sued on or against all or substantially all its assets and such secured party maintains possession, or any such process is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case within 30 days thereafter; (8) causes or is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any of the events specified in clauses (1) to (7) (inclusive); or (9) takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts; or
 
(viii)           Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer:  —
 
(1)           the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or
 
(2)           the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under this Agreement.
 
(b)           Termination Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below:—
 
(i)           Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be the Affected Party):  —
 
(1)           to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or
 
(2)           to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction;

(ii)           Tax Event. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));
 
(iii)           Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the “Burdened Party”) on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii);
 
(iv)           Credit Event Upon Merger.  If “Credit Event Upon Merger” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party (“X”), any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party); or
 
(v)           Additional Termination Event. If any “Additional Termination Event” is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).
 
(c)           Event of Default and Illegality.  If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event of Default.
 
6. 
Early Termination
 
(a)           Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions.  If, however, “Automatic Early Termination” is specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).

(b)           Right to Terminate Following Termination Event.
 
(i)           Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require.
 
(ii)           Transfer to Avoid Termination Event. If either an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.
 
If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).
 
Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party’s policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.
 
(iii)           Two Affected Parties. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination Event.
 
(iv)           Right to Terminate.  If:  —
 
(1)           a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or
 
(2)           an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,
 
either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party and provided that the relevant Termination Event is then continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.
 
(c)           Effect of Designation.
 
(i)           If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing.
 
(ii)           Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement.  The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section 6(e).

(d)           Calculations.
 
(i)           Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid.  In the absence of written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation.
 
(ii)           Payment Date. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event).  Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate.  Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.
 
(e)           Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the following provisions shall apply based on the parties’ election in the Schedule of a payment measure, either “Market Quotation” or “Loss”, and a payment method, either the “First Method” or the “Second Method”.  If the parties fail to designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed that “Market Quotation” or the “Second Method”, as the case may be, shall apply.  The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.
 
(i)           Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default:  —
 
(1)           First Method and Market Quotation.  If the First Method and Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.
 
(2)           First Method and Loss.  If the First Method and Loss apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive number, the Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this Agreement.
 
(3)           Second Method and Market Quotation.  If the Second Method and Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.  If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.
 
(4)           Second Method and Loss.  If the Second Method and Loss apply, an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this Agreement.  If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.

(ii)           Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a Termination Event:  —
 
(1)           One Affected Party.  If there is one Affected Party, the amount payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies, except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party, respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions.
 
(2)           Two Affected Parties.  If there are two Affected Parties:  —
 
(A)           if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, and an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a) one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of the party with the higher Settlement Amount (“X”) and the Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement Amount (“Y”) and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and
 
(B)           if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party with the higher Loss (“X”) and the Loss of the party with the lower Loss (“Y”).
 
If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y.
 
(iii)           Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs because “Automatic Early Termination” applies in respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii).
 
(iv)           Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty.  Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence of such losses.
 
7. 
Transfer
 
Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that:  —
 
(a)           a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement); and
 
(b)           a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).
 
Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.

8. 
Contractual Currency
 
(a)           Payment in the Contractual Currency. Each payment under this Agreement will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment (the “Contractual Currency”).  To the extent permitted by applicable law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable in respect of this Agreement.  If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall.  If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of such excess.
 
(b)           Judgments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered (i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party.  The term “rate of exchange” includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the Contractual Currency.
 
(c)           Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement.
 
(d)           Evidence of Loss. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual exchange or purchase been made.
 
9. 
Miscellaneous
 
(a)           Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes  all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.
 
(b)           Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system.
 
(c)           Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and 6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the termination of any Transaction.
 
(d)           Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law.

(e)           Counterparts and Confirmations.
 
(i)           This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original.
 
(ii)           The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise).  A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement.  The parties will specify therein or through another effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message constitutes a Confirmation.
 
(f)           No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
 
(g)           Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
 
10. 
Offices; Multibranch Parties
 
(a)           If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking office or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party, the obligations of such party are the same as if it had entered into the Transaction through its head or home office.  This representation will be deemed to be repeated by such party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into.
 
(b)           Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party.
 
(c)           If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction will be specified in the relevant Confirmation.
 
11. 
Expenses
 
A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other party for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the enforcement and protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination of any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection.
 
12.

(iv)           if sent by certified or registered mail (airmail, if overseas) or the equivalent (return receipt requested), on the date that mail is delivered or its delivery is attempted; or
 
(v)           if sent by electronic messaging system, on the date that electronic message is received,
 
unless the date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that receipt, as applicable, is not a Local Business Day or that communication is delivered (or attempted) or received, as applicable, after the close of business on a Local Business Day, in which case that communication shall be deemed given and effective on the first following day that is a Local Business Day.
 
(b)           Change of Addresses. Either party may by notice to the other change the address, telex or facsimile number or electronic messaging system details at which notices or other communications are to be given to it.
 
13. 
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
 
(a)           Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law specified in the Schedule.
 
(b)           Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Agreement (“Proceedings”), each party irrevocably:—
 
(i)           submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by English law, or to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York; and
 
(ii)           waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party.
 
Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction (outside, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by English law, the Contracting States, as defined in Section 1(3) of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 or any modification, extension or re-enactment thereof for the time being in force) nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.
 
(c)           Service of Process. Each party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent (if any) specified opposite its name in the Schedule to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process in any Proceedings.  If for any reason any party’s Process Agent is unable to act as such, such party will promptly notify the other party and within 30 days appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to the other party.  The parties irrevocably consent to service of process given in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of either party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
 
(d)           Waiver of Immunities. Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to itself and its revenues and assets (irrespective of their use or intended use), all immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or other similar grounds from (i) suit, (ii) jurisdiction of any court, (iii) relief by way of injunction, order for specific performance or for recovery of property, (iv) attachment of its assets (whether before or after judgment) and (v) execution or enforcement of any judgment to which it or its revenues or assets might otherwise be entitled in any Proceedings in the courts of any jurisdiction and irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that it will not claim any such immunity in any Proceedings.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FRANKLIN STREET PROPERTIES CORP. CLOSES
$75 MILLION UNSECURED TERM LOAN FACILITY

WAKEFIELD, MA – October 15, 2008 – Franklin Street Properties Corp. (“FSP”) (NYSE Alternext US: FSP), an investment firm specializing in real estate, announced today that it has closed on a $75 million unsecured term loan facility with RBS Citizens, National Association, Bank of America, N.A. and Wachovia Bank, National Association.  The term loan facility has an initial three-year term that matures on October 15, 2011.  In addition, FSP has the right to extend the initial maturity date for up to two successive one-year periods, or until October 15, 2013 if both extensions are exercised.  FSP fixed the interest rate for the initial three-year term of the term loan facility at 5.84% per annum pursuant to an interest rate swap agreement.  The proceeds of the term loan facility will be used to pay down a portion of the outstanding balance on FSP’s existing $250 million revolving line of credit facility.  FSP intends to use the increased availability under its existing revolving line of credit facility for property acquisitions.  Additional information on the term loan facility can be found in FSP’s Current Report on Form 8-K that is being filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission today.

George J. Carter, President and Chief Executive Officer of FSP, commented as follows:

“We are pleased to continue and expand our banking relationships with RBS Citizens, Bank of America and Wachovia Bank, all of whom are participants in our existing $250 million revolving line of credit facility.  We are excited about the potential property investment opportunities that this term loan facility will allow us to pursue. As the capital markets and U.S. economy work through the current real estate mortgage/debt crunch, we will continue to pursue additional property investment opportunities. It will be FSP's objective to continue to grow its property portfolio and rental income business during this period of liquidity-constrained capital markets by using its balance sheet strength to help finance and fund new acquisitions. We continue to be very optimistic about FSP's position in the current commercial real estate investment market and the opportunities that may present themselves as a result of the current distress surrounding some aspects of those markets.”
