Item 1.01.  Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Property Sales

 

On June 14, 2010, certain subsidiaries of HRPT Properties Trust, or the Trust, entered into 15 Purchase and Sale Agreements, or the Purchase Agreements, with Government Properties Income Trust, or GOV, for the sale by such subsidiaries of the Trust to GOV, or certain of GOV’s subsidiaries, of 15 properties, containing approximately 1.9 million rentable square feet in the aggregate, for cash purchase prices aggregating $231.0 million.  The properties subject to the Purchase Agreements are majority leased to government tenants.

 

The transactions under the individual Purchase Agreements are expected to be completed in phases between June 15, 2010, and March 31, 2011.  The transactions are subject to various closing conditions and contractual contingencies typical of large commercial property transactions, which may result in cancellation of some or all of these transactions.

 

The descriptions of the Purchase Agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 to 10.15 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

GOV was formerly a 100% owned subsidiary of the Trust that is now a separately traded real estate investment trust.  The Trust currently owns approximately 31.8% of the outstanding common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, of GOV.  In connection with GOV’s formation and initial public offering, the Trust and GOV entered into a Transaction Agreement in which, among other things, the Trust granted to GOV the right of first refusal to acquire any property owned by the Trust that the Trust determines to divest, if the property is then majority leased to a government tenant, including the 15 properties subject to the Purchase Agreements.

 

The Trust and GOV are managed by Reit Management & Research LLC, or RMR.  One of the Trust’s Managing Trustees, Barry M. Portnoy, is the Chairman and majority owner of RMR.  The Trust’s other Managing Trustee, Adam D. Portnoy, owns the remainder of RMR and is a director, President and Chief Executive Officer of RMR.  The Trust’s executive officers are also officers of RMR.  In addition, Messrs. Barry M. Portnoy and Adam D. Portnoy also serve as Managing Trustees of GOV, and Mr. Adam D. Portnoy is the President of GOV.  The transactions described above were negotiated by special committees of the Trust’s and GOV’s Boards of Trustees composed solely of Independent Trustees who are not also Trustees of the other party.  Also, the agreed aggregate purchase price of the properties to be acquired is within the range of market values established by an independent third party appraiser.

 

The Trust currently owns approximately 14.3% of the outstanding equity of Affiliates Insurance Company, or AIC.  The other shareholders of AIC are RMR and five other companies to which RMR provides management services, including GOV, and all of the Trust’s trustees are also directors of AIC.

 

For more information about the relationships among the Trust, GOV, RMR and AIC, and risks which arise from these relationships, please refer to the Trust’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (including the sections captioned “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Related Person Transactions” and its Proxy Statement dated February 23, 2010, related to its 2010 annual shareholders meeting (including the section captioned “Related Person Transactions and Company Review of Such Transactions”).

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Name Change and Reverse Stock Split

 

On June 14, 2010, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, or the Board, approved a change of the Trust’s name from “HRPT Properties Trust” to “CommonWealth REIT” and a reverse stock split which will result in a four for one combination of the Trust’s common shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share.  The name change and the common share combination are expected to become effective on July 1, 2010.

 

The reverse stock split will cause every four (4) of the Trust’s common shares that are issued and outstanding as of the effective date to be automatically combined into one (1) issued and outstanding common share, the par value of the combined common shares to be adjusted to remain $.01 per share, and the Trust to issue fractional shares where applicable to holders of record of common shares.  The share combination will affect all record holders of the Trust’s common shares uniformly and will not affect any record shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Trust.

 

2



 

The share combination, when it becomes effective, will reduce the number of the Trust’s issued and outstanding common shares from 258,385,241 to 64,596,310, assuming no additional common shares are authorized or issued, as the case may be, after the date of this report.  The number of the Trust’s authorized common shares will not change.  Upon the effectiveness of the share combination, the conversion rate of the Trust’s 15,180,000 outstanding series D cumulative convertible preferred shares, or Series D Preferred Shares, will automatically change from 1.9231 common shares per Series D Preferred Share to 0.4808 common share per Series D Preferred Share (the equivalent of a change in conversion price from $13.00 per common share to $52.00 per common share).

 

On July 1, 2010, the expected effective date of the name change and common share combination, the Trust expects its combined common shares and other securities currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange will commence trading under new symbols, as follows:

WARNING CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

THIS FORM 8-K CONTAINS FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND OTHER SECURITIES LAWS.  THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS ARE BASED UPON THE TRUST’S PRESENT BELIEFS AND EXPECTATIONS, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO OCCUR AND MAY NOT OCCUR FOR VARIOUS REASONS, INCLUDING SOME REASONS WHICH ARE BEYOND THE TRUST’S CONTROL.  FOR EXAMPLE:

 

·                                         THIS FORM 8-K STATES THAT THE TRUST HAS AGREED TO SELL 15 PROPERTIES TO GOV FOR APPROXIMATELY $231 MILLION.  THESE SALES ARE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS CLOSING CONDITIONS AND CONTRACTUAL CONTINGENCIES TYPICAL OF LARGE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS WHICH MAY RESULT IN CANCELLATION OF SOME OR ALL OF THESE SALES.

 

·                                         THIS FORM 8-K STATES THAT THE SALES OF PROPERTIES TO GOV ARE EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED IN PHASES BETWEEN JUNE 15, 2010, AND MARCH 31, 2011.  BECAUSE THE SALE OF EACH PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO VARIOUS CLOSING CONDITIONS AND CONTRACTUAL CONTINGENCIES, SOME OF THESE SALES MAY BE ACCELERATED, SOME MAY BE DELAYED BEYOND MARCH 31, 2011, AND SOME MAY NOT OCCUR.

 

·                                         THIS FORM 8-K STATES THAT THE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS WERE NEGOTIATED BY SPECIAL COMMITTEES OF OUR AND GOV’S BOARDS OF TRUSTEES COMPOSED SOLELY OF INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES WHO ARE NOT ALSO TRUSTEES OF THE OTHER PARTY AND THAT THE AGREED AGGREGATE SALE PRICE IS WITHIN THE RANGE OF MARKET VALUES ESTABLISHED BY AN INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY APPRAISER.  AN IMPLICATION OF THESE STATEMENTS MAY BE THAT THESE SALES ARE ARMS LENGTH TRANSACTIONS.  IN FACT, BOTH THE TRUST AND GOV ARE MANAGED BY RMR AND HAVE COMMON MANAGING TRUSTEES.  ACCORDINGLY, THIRD PARTIES SEEKING TO CONTEST THESE SALES MAY ALLEGE THAT THEY ARE NOT EQUIVALENT TO ARMS LENGTH TRANSACTIONS AND THE AGGREGATE SALE PRICE MAY BE DIFFERENT THAN THE PRICE WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED IN ARMS LENGTH TRANSACTIONS WHICH WERE FULLY MARKETED.  FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE TRUST, GOV AND

RMR, AND RISKS WHICH ARISE FROM THESE RELATIONSHIPS, SEE THE TRUST’S FILINGS WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, INCLUDING THE FILINGS SPECIFIED IN ITEM 1.01 OF THIS REPORT.

 

·                                         THIS FORM 8-K STATES THAT THE TRUST WILL CHANGE ITS NAME TO “COMMONWEALTH REIT”.  AN IMPLICATION OF THIS STATEMENT MAY BE THAT THIS NAME CHANGE WILL BENEFIT SHAREHOLDERS.  HOWEVER, THIS NAME CHANGE ITSELF MAY CAUSE SOME CONFUSION IN THE MARKET FOR THE TRUST’S SECURITIES.  ALSO, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS NAME CHANGE WILL CAUSE THE TRUST TO INCUR COSTS TO PRINT AND DISTRIBUTE NEW SHARE CERTIFICATES AND OTHERWISE.  ACCORDINGLY, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THIS NAME CHANGE WILL BENEFIT SHAREHOLDERS.  WHILE THE TRUST EXPECTS THE NAME CHANGE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE ON JULY 1, 2010, THE BOARD MAY DETERMINE IN ITS DISCRETION TO CHANGE THE EFECTIVE DATE OR NOT TO IMPLEMENT THE NAME CHANGE.

 

·                                         THIS FORM 8-K STATES THAT THE TRUST WILL IMPLEMENT A SHARE COMBINATION.  AN IMPLICATION OF THIS STATEMENT MAY BE THAT THE SHARE COMBINATION WILL BENEFIT SHAREHOLDERS.  IN FACT, COMBINATIONS OF PUBLICLY TRADED SHARES INTO LESSER NUMBERS OF SHARES HISTORICALLY HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN MARKET PRICES WHICH ARE LESS THAN THE HISTORICAL AGGREGATE MARKET PRICES OF THE COMBINING SHARES.  THE TRUST CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE MARKET PRICE OF ITS COMBINED SHARES WILL EQUAL AT LEAST FOUR TIMES THE PRICE OF ITS SHARES BEFORE THE COMBINATION OR THAT THE SHARE COMBINATION WILL BENEFIT SHAREHOLDERS.  WHILE THE TRUST EXPECTS THE SHARE COMBINATION TO BECOME EFFECTIVE ON JULY 1, 2010, THE BOARD MAY DETERMINE IN ITS DISCRETION TO CHANGE THE EFECTIVE DATE OR NOT TO IMPLEMENT THE SHARE COMBINATION.

 

FOR THESE AND OTHER REASONS, INVESTORS ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE UPON FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS IN THIS FORM 8-K.

 

EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW, THE TRUST DOES NOT INTEND TO UPDATE OR CHANGE ANY FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE.

21



 

constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

 

12.8                                                   Counterparts, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

12.14                                             Arbitration.  Any party hereto may elect to submit any dispute hereunder that has an amount in controversy in excess of $250,000 to arbitration hereunder.  Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then pertaining and the decision of the arbitrators with respect to such dispute shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties.

 

In the event any party hereto shall elect to submit any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience in the general subject matter of the dispute.  Notice of such appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other, and the arbitrators so appointed, in the event of their failure to agree within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator upon the matter so submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator.  If either the Seller or the Purchaser shall fail to appoint an arbitrator, as aforesaid, for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from the other party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator appointed by the party having made such appointment shall appoint a second arbitrator and the two (2) so appointed shall, in the event of their failure to agree upon any decision within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint a third arbitrator.  If such arbitrators fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within forty five (45) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question.  The fees of the third arbitrator and the expenses incident to the proceedings shall be borne equally between the Seller and the Purchaser, unless the arbitrators decide otherwise.  The fees of respective counsel engaged by the parties, and the fees of expert witnesses and other witnesses called for by the parties, shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such witnesses.

Proc. 2000-37, including executing an instrument acknowledging and consenting to any assignment by the requesting party of its rights hereunder to a qualified intermediary or an exchange accommodation titleholder.  In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the requesting party may assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” or an “exchange accommodation titleholder” in order to facilitate, at no cost or expense to the other, a forward or reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that such assignment will not relieve the requesting party of any of its obligations hereunder.  The non-requesting party will also agree to issue all closing documents, including the deed, to the applicable qualified intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder if so directed by the requesting party prior to Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the non-requesting party incur or be subject to any liability that is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

(d)      If, on the Closing Date, the Property shall be or shall have been affected by any special or general assessment or assessments or real property taxes payable in a lump sum or which are or may become payable in installments of which the first installment is then a charge or lien and has become payable, the Seller shall pay or cause to be paid at the Closing the unpaid installments of such assessments due and as of the Closing Date.

 

(e)       No insurance policies of the Seller are to be transferred to the Purchaser, and no apportionment of the premiums therefor shall be made.

 

(f)       At the Closing, the Seller shall transfer to the Purchaser the amount of all unapplied security deposits held pursuant to the terms of the Leases.

 

(g)      Brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts payable by the Seller as landlord under Leases entered into by the Seller after the date hereof, or in connection with the renewal or extension of any existing Lease, shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller at the Closing for all such brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts paid by the Seller prior to the Closing.  The Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all unpaid brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts payable by the Seller as

landlord under Leases entered into by the Seller prior to the date hereof.

 

(h)      Amounts payable after the date hereof on account of capital expenditures under the 2010 capital expenditure budget prepared as of March 31, 2010 (the “CapEx Budget”) (including, without limitation, budgeted items for “building improvements” and “development and redevelopment”), shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller at the Closing for all amounts paid by the Seller prior to the Closing on account of capital expenditures under the CapEx Budget payable after the date hereof.  The Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all unpaid amounts payable on account of capital expenditures under the CapEx Budget prior to the date hereof.  A copy of the CapEx Budget has been previously provided to the Purchaser.

 

(i)        If a net amount is owed by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price.  If a net amount is owed by the Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be added to the Purchase Price paid to the Seller.

 

(j)        If, on the Closing Date, there are past due rents with respect to any Lease, amounts received by the Purchaser with respect to such Lease after the Closing Date shall be applied, first, to rents due or to become due during the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, and then, to all other rents due or past due in inverse order to the order in which they became due (i.e., first to arrearages most recently occurring, then to older arrearages).  In no event shall the Seller have any right to take any action to collect any past due rents or other amounts following the Closing; provided, however, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such past due rents and other amounts, except that the Purchaser shall have no obligation to institute any legal action or proceeding or otherwise enforce any of its rights and remedies under any Lease in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts.

 

The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing.

12.8         Counterparts, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

In the event any party hereto shall elect to submit any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience in the general subject matter of the dispute.  Notice of such appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other, and the arbitrators so appointed, in the event of their failure to agree within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator upon the matter so submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator.  If either the Seller or the Purchaser shall fail to appoint an arbitrator, as aforesaid, for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from the other party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator appointed by the party having made such appointment shall appoint a second arbitrator and the two (2) so appointed shall, in the event of their failure to agree upon any decision within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint a third arbitrator.  If such arbitrators fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within forty five (45) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question.  The fees of the third arbitrator and the expenses incident to the proceedings shall be borne equally between the Seller and the Purchaser, unless the arbitrators decide otherwise.  The fees of respective counsel engaged by the parties, and the fees of expert witnesses and other witnesses called for by the parties, shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such witnesses.

12.7                 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the conflict of any provision with any

 

21



 

constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

 

12.8                 Counterparts, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

12.14               Arbitration.  Any party hereto may elect to submit any dispute hereunder that has an amount in controversy in excess of $250,000 to arbitration hereunder.  Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then pertaining and the decision of the arbitrators with respect to such dispute shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties.

 

In the event any party hereto shall elect to submit any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience in the general subject matter of the dispute.  Notice of such appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other, and the arbitrators so appointed, in the event of their failure to agree within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator upon the matter so submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator.  If either the Seller or the Purchaser shall fail to appoint an arbitrator, as aforesaid, for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from the other party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator appointed by the party having made such appointment shall appoint a second arbitrator and the two (2) so appointed shall, in the event of their failure to agree upon any decision within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint a third arbitrator.  If such arbitrators fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within forty five (45) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question.  The fees of the third arbitrator and the expenses incident to the proceedings shall be borne equally between the Seller and the Purchaser, unless the arbitrators decide otherwise.  The fees of respective counsel engaged by the parties, and the fees of expert witnesses and other witnesses called for by the parties, shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such witnesses.

Proc. 2000-37, including executing an instrument acknowledging and consenting to any assignment by the requesting party of its rights hereunder to a qualified intermediary or an exchange accommodation titleholder.  In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the requesting party may assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” or an “exchange accommodation titleholder” in order to facilitate, at no cost or expense to the other, a forward or reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that such assignment will not relieve the requesting party of any of its obligations hereunder.  The non-requesting party will also agree to issue all closing documents, including the deed, to the applicable qualified intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder if so directed by the requesting party prior to Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the non-requesting party incur or be subject to any liability that is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

all other items of income and expense normally apportioned in sales of property in similar situations in the jurisdiction where the Property is located.

 

If any of the foregoing cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of the amounts which are to be apportioned, such items shall be apportioned on the basis of a good faith estimate by the parties and reconciled as soon as practicable after the Closing Date but, in any event, no later than one (1) year after the Closing Date.

 

(b)           If there are water, gas or electric meters located at the Property, the Seller shall obtain readings thereof to a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date and the unfixed water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity charges, if any, based thereon for the intervening time shall be apportioned on the basis of such last readings.  If such readings are not obtainable by the Closing

 

14



 

Date, then, at the Closing, any water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity charges which are based on such readings shall be prorated based upon the per diem charges obtained by using the most recent period for which such readings shall then be available.  Upon the taking of subsequent actual readings, the apportionment of such charges shall be recalculated and the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, promptly shall make a payment to the other based upon such recalculations.  The parties agree to make such final recalculations within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.

(d)           If, on the Closing Date, the Property shall be or shall have been affected by any special or general assessment or assessments or real property taxes payable in a lump sum or which are or may become payable in installments of which the first installment is then a charge or lien and has become payable, the Seller shall pay or cause to be paid at the Closing the unpaid installments of such assessments due and as of the Closing Date.

 

(e)           No insurance policies of the Seller are to be transferred to the Purchaser, and no apportionment of the premiums therefor shall be made.

 

(f)            At the Closing, the Seller shall transfer to the Purchaser the amount of all unapplied security deposits held pursuant to the terms of the Leases.

 

(g)           Brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts payable by the Seller as landlord under Leases entered into by the Seller after the date hereof, or in connection with the renewal or extension of any existing Lease, shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller at the Closing for all such brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts paid by the Seller prior to the Closing.  The Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all unpaid brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts payable by the Seller as

(i)            If a net amount is owed by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price.  If a net amount is owed by the Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be added to the Purchase Price paid to the Seller.

 

(j)            If, on the Closing Date, there are past due rents with respect to any Lease, amounts received by the Purchaser with respect to such Lease after the Closing Date shall be applied, first, to rents due or to become due during the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, and then, to all other rents due or past due in inverse order to the order in which they became due (i.e., first to arrearages most recently occurring, then to older arrearages).  In no event shall the Seller have any right to take any action to collect any past due rents or other amounts following the Closing; provided, however, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such past due rents and other amounts, except that the Purchaser shall have no obligation to institute any legal action or proceeding or otherwise enforce any of its rights and remedies under any Lease in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts.

 

The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing.

11.1                 Default by the Seller.  If the transaction herein contemplated fails to close as a result of the default of the Seller hereunder, or the Seller having made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or the Seller having failed to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by the Seller, the Purchaser may, as its sole remedy, either (x) terminate this Agreement or (y) pursue a suit for specific performance.

 

11.2                 Default by the Purchaser.  If the transaction herein contemplated fails to close as a result of the default of the Purchaser hereunder, or the Purchaser having made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or the Purchaser having failed to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by it, the Seller may terminate this Agreement (in which case, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for all of the fees, charges, disbursements and expenses of the Seller’s attorneys).

12.8                 Counterparts, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

21



 

constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

 

12.8                           Counterparts, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

12.13                     Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

12.14                     Arbitration.  Any party hereto may elect to submit any dispute hereunder that has an amount in controversy in excess of $250,000 to arbitration hereunder.  Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then pertaining and the decision of the arbitrators with respect to such dispute shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties.

 

In the event any party hereto shall elect to submit any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience in the general subject matter of the dispute.  Notice of such appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other, and the arbitrators so appointed, in the event of their failure to agree within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator upon the matter so submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator.  If either the Seller or the Purchaser shall fail to appoint an arbitrator, as aforesaid, for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from the other party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator appointed by the party having made such appointment shall appoint a second arbitrator and the two (2) so appointed shall, in the event of their failure to agree upon any decision within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint a third arbitrator.  If such arbitrators fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within forty five (45) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question.  The fees of the third arbitrator and the expenses incident to the proceedings shall be borne equally between the Seller and the Purchaser, unless the arbitrators decide otherwise.  The fees of respective counsel engaged by the parties, and the fees of expert witnesses and other witnesses called for by the parties, shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such witnesses.

 

The decision of the arbitrators shall be rendered within thirty (30) days after appointment of the third arbitrator.  Such decision shall be in writing and in duplicate, one

12.15                     Like Kind Exchange.  At either party’s request, the non-requesting party will take all actions reasonably requested by the requesting party in order to effectuate all or any part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a forward or reverse like-kind exchange for the benefit of the requesting party in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and, in the case of a reverse exchange, Rev. Proc. 2000-37, including executing an instrument acknowledging and consenting to any assignment by the requesting party of its rights hereunder to a qualified intermediary or an exchange accommodation titleholder.  In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the requesting party may assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” or an “exchange accommodation titleholder” in order to facilitate, at no cost or expense to the other, a forward or reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that such assignment will not relieve the requesting party of any of its obligations hereunder.  The non-requesting party will also agree to issue all closing documents, including the deed, to the applicable qualified intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder if so directed by the requesting party prior to Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the non-requesting party incur or be subject to any liability that is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

10



 

breach, the Purchaser gives the Seller written notice prior to the expiration of said three hundred sixty (360) day period of such alleged breach with reasonable detail as to the nature of such breach.

SECTION 9.         APPORTIONMENTS.

 

9.1                   Real Property Apportionments.  (a)  The following items shall be apportioned at the Closing as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iv)                            municipal assessments and governmental license and permit fees;

 

(v)                               Real estate taxes and assessments other than special assessments, based on the rates and assessed valuation applicable in the fiscal year for which assessed;

 

(vi)                            water rates and charges;

 

(vii)                         sewer and vault taxes and rents; and

 

(viii)                      all other items of income and expense normally apportioned in sales of property in similar situations in the jurisdiction where the Property is located.

 

If any of the foregoing cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of the amounts which are to be apportioned, such items shall be apportioned on the basis of a good faith estimate by the parties and reconciled as soon as practicable after the Closing Date but, in any event, no later than one (1) year after the Closing Date.

 

(b)           If there are water, gas or electric meters located at the Property, the Seller shall obtain readings thereof to a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date and the unfixed water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity charges, if any, based thereon for the intervening time shall be apportioned on the basis of such last readings.  If such readings are not obtainable by the Closing

 

14



 

Date, then, at the Closing, any water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity charges which are based on such readings shall be prorated based upon the per diem charges obtained by using the most recent period for which such readings shall then be available.  Upon the taking of subsequent actual readings, the apportionment of such charges shall be recalculated and the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, promptly shall make a payment to the other based upon such recalculations.  The parties agree to make such final recalculations within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.

 

(c)           If any refunds of real property taxes or assessments, water rates and charges or sewer taxes and rents shall be made after the Closing, the same shall be held in trust by the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall first be applied to the unreimbursed costs incurred in obtaining the same, then to any required refunds to tenants under the Leases, and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Seller (for the period prior to the Closing Date) and to the Purchaser (for the period commencing with the Closing Date).

 

(d)           If, on the Closing Date, the Property shall be or shall have been affected by any special or general assessment or assessments or real property taxes payable in a lump sum or which are or may become payable in installments of which the first installment is then a charge or lien and has become payable, the Seller shall pay or cause to be paid at the Closing the unpaid installments of such assessments due and as of the Closing Date.

 

(e)           No insurance policies of the Seller are to be transferred to the Purchaser, and no apportionment of the premiums therefor shall be made.

 

(f)            At the Closing, the Seller shall transfer to the Purchaser the amount of all unapplied security deposits held pursuant to the terms of the Leases.

 

(g)           Brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts payable by the Seller as landlord under Leases entered into by the Seller after the date hereof, or in connection with the renewal or extension of any existing Lease, shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller at the Closing for all such brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts paid by the Seller prior to the Closing.  The Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all unpaid brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts payable by the Seller as

 

15



 

landlord under Leases entered into by the Seller prior to the date hereof.

 

(h)           Amounts payable after the date hereof on account of capital expenditures under the 2010 capital expenditure budget prepared as of March 31, 2010 (the “CapEx Budget”) (including, without limitation, budgeted items for “building improvements” and “development and redevelopment”), shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller at the Closing for all amounts paid by the Seller prior to the Closing on account of capital expenditures under the CapEx Budget payable after the date hereof.  The Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all unpaid amounts payable on account of capital expenditures under the CapEx Budget prior to the date hereof.  A copy of the CapEx Budget has been previously provided to the Purchaser.

 

(i)            If a net amount is owed by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price.  If a net amount is owed by the Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be added to the Purchase Price paid to the Seller.

 

(j)            If, on the Closing Date, there are past due rents with respect to any Lease, amounts received by the Purchaser with respect to such Lease after the Closing Date shall be applied, first, to rents due or to become due during the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, and then, to all other rents due or past due in inverse order to the order in which they became due (i.e., first to arrearages most recently occurring, then to older arrearages).  In no event shall the Seller have any right to take any action to collect any past due rents or other amounts following the Closing; provided, however, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such past due rents and other amounts, except that the Purchaser shall have no obligation to institute any legal action or proceeding or otherwise enforce any of its rights and remedies under any Lease in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts.

 

The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing.

 

9.2                   Closing Costs.

 

(a)           The Purchaser shall pay (i) the costs of closing and diligence in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, all premiums, charges and fees of the Title Company in connection with the title

examination and insurance policies to be obtained by the Purchaser, including affirmative endorsements), (ii) fifty percent (50%) of all documentary, stamp, sales, intangible and other transfer taxes and fees incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) fifty percent (50%) of all state, city, county, municipal and other governmental recording and filing fees and charges.

(c)           Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its attorneys and other consultants.

 

SECTION 10.       DAMAGE TO OR CONDEMNATION OF PROPERTY.

 

10.1                 Casualty.  If, prior to the Closing, the Property is materially destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, the Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser of such fact.  In such event, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the Seller not later than ten (10) days after the giving the Seller’s notice (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until one day after the expiration of such ten-day period).  If the Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no party shall have any liability to the other hereunder.  If less than a material part of the Property shall be affected by fire or other casualty or if the Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and the Seller shall assign to the Purchaser at the Closing the rights of the Seller to the proceeds, if any, under the Seller’s insurance policies covering the Property with respect to such damage or destruction and there shall be credited against the Purchase Price the amount of any deductible, any proceeds previously received by Seller on account thereof and any deficiency in proceeds.

 

10.2                 Condemnation.  If, prior to the Closing, a material part of the Property (including access or parking thereto), is taken by eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated), the Seller shall notify the Purchaser of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof and the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this

 

17



 

Agreement by giving notice to the Seller not later than ten (10) days after the giving of the Seller’s notice (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until one day after the expiration of such ten-day period).  If the Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no party shall have any liability to the other hereunder.  If less than a material part of the Property shall be affected or if the Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the sale of the Property shall be consummated as herein provided without any adjustment to the Purchase Price (except to the extent of any condemnation award received by the Seller prior to the Closing) and the Seller shall assign to the Purchaser at the Closing all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all awards, if any, for the taking, and the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep all awards for the taking of the Property or portion thereof.

 

10.3                 Survival.  The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 10 shall survive the Closing.

 

SECTION 11.       DEFAULT.

 

11.1                 Default by the Seller.  If the transaction herein contemplated fails to close as a result of the default of the Seller hereunder, or the Seller having made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or the Seller having failed to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by the Seller, the Purchaser may, as its sole remedy, either (x) terminate this Agreement or (y) pursue a suit for specific performance.

 

11.2                 Default by the Purchaser.  If the transaction herein contemplated fails to close as a result of the default of the Purchaser hereunder, or the Purchaser having made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or the Purchaser having failed to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by it, the Seller may terminate this Agreement (in which case, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for all of the fees, charges, disbursements and expenses of the Seller’s attorneys).

12.5                 Waivers, Etc.  Subject to the terms of the last paragraph of Section 6, any waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, or of the breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained herein, in any one instance, shall not operate as or be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any other breach of such term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty or any other term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty, nor shall any failure at any time or times to enforce or require performance of any provision hereof operate as a waiver of or affect in any manner such party’s right at a later time to enforce or require performance of such provision or any other provision hereof.  This Agreement may not be amended, nor shall any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge be effected, except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge is sought.

12.7                 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the conflict of any provision with any

 

21



 

constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

 

12.8                 Counterparts, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

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

 

22



 

12.13               Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

12.14               Arbitration.  Any party hereto may elect to submit any dispute hereunder that has an amount in controversy in excess of $250,000 to arbitration hereunder.  Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then pertaining and the decision of the arbitrators with respect to such dispute shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties.

 

In the event any party hereto shall elect to submit any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience in the general subject matter of the dispute.  Notice of such appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other, and the arbitrators so appointed, in the event of their failure to agree within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator upon the matter so submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator.  If either the Seller or the Purchaser shall fail to appoint an arbitrator, as aforesaid, for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from the other party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator appointed by the party having made such appointment shall appoint a second arbitrator and the two (2) so appointed shall, in the event of their failure to agree upon any decision within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint a third arbitrator.  If such arbitrators fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within forty five (45) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question.  The fees of the third arbitrator and the expenses incident to the proceedings shall be borne equally between the Seller and the Purchaser, unless the arbitrators decide otherwise.  The fees of respective counsel engaged by the parties, and the fees of expert witnesses and other witnesses called for by the parties, shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such witnesses.

12.15               Like Kind Exchange.  At either party’s request, the non-requesting party will take all actions reasonably requested by the requesting party in order to effectuate all or any part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a forward or reverse like-kind exchange for the benefit of the requesting party in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and, in the case of a reverse exchange, Rev. Proc. 2000-37, including executing an instrument acknowledging and consenting to any assignment by the requesting party of its rights hereunder to a qualified intermediary or an exchange accommodation titleholder.  In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the requesting party may assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” or an “exchange accommodation titleholder” in order to facilitate, at no cost or expense to the other, a forward or reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that such assignment will not relieve the requesting party of any of its obligations hereunder.  The non-requesting party will also agree to issue all closing documents, including the deed, to the applicable qualified intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder if so directed by the requesting party prior to Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the non-requesting party incur or be subject to any liability that is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

12.18               Non-liability of Trustees of Purchaser.  The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust establishing Government Properties Income Trust, dated June 8, 2009, as amended and

 

24



 

supplemented, as filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, provides that no trustee, officer, shareholder, employee or agent of Government Properties Income Trust shall be held to any personal liability, jointly or severally, for any obligation of, or claim against, Government Properties Income Trust.  All persons dealing with Government Properties Income Trust in any way shall look only to the assets of Government Properties Income Trust for the payment of any sum or the performance of any obligation.

 

12.19               Waiver.  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is a sophisticated purchaser of real properties and that it is aware of all disclosures the Seller is or may be required to provide to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to any law, rule or regulation (including those of Massachusetts and those of the state in which the Property is located).   The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser has had access to all information necessary to acquire the Property and the Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller has fully and completely fulfilled any and all disclosure obligations with respect thereto.  The Purchaser hereby fully and completely discharges the Seller from any further disclosure obligations whatsoever relating to the Property.

 

12.20               Further Assurances.  In addition to the actions recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed, and/or delivered by the Seller and the Purchaser, the Seller and the Purchaser agree to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered at the Closing or after the Closing any and all such further acts, instruments, deeds and assurances as may be reasonably required to establish, confirm or otherwise evidence the Seller’s satisfaction of any disclosure obligations or to otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 11.                     DEFAULT.

 

11.1                                                   Default by the Seller.  If the transaction herein contemplated fails to close as a result of the default of the Seller hereunder, or the Seller having made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or the Seller having failed to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by the Seller, the Purchaser may, as its sole remedy, either (x) terminate this Agreement or (y) pursue a suit for specific performance.

 

11.2                                                   Default by the Purchaser.  If the transaction herein contemplated fails to close as a result of the default of the Purchaser hereunder, or the Purchaser having made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or the Purchaser having failed to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by it, the Seller may terminate this Agreement (in which case, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for all of the fees, charges, disbursements and expenses of the Seller’s attorneys).

12.7                 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the conflict of any provision with any

 

21



 

constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

 

12.8                 Counterparts, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

12.13               Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

12.14               Arbitration.  Any party hereto may elect to submit any dispute hereunder that has an amount in controversy in excess of $250,000 to arbitration hereunder.  Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then pertaining and the decision of the arbitrators with respect to such dispute shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties.

 

In the event any party hereto shall elect to submit any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience in the general subject matter of the dispute.  Notice of such appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other, and the arbitrators so appointed, in the event of their failure to agree within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator upon the matter so submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator.  If either the Seller or the Purchaser shall fail to appoint an arbitrator, as aforesaid, for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from the other party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator appointed by the party having made such appointment shall appoint a second arbitrator and the two (2) so appointed shall, in the event of their failure to agree upon any decision within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint a third arbitrator.  If such arbitrators fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within forty five (45) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question.  The fees of the third arbitrator and the expenses incident to the proceedings shall be borne equally between the Seller and the Purchaser, unless the arbitrators decide otherwise.  The fees of respective counsel engaged by the parties, and the fees of expert witnesses and other witnesses called for by the parties, shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such witnesses.

 

The decision of the arbitrators shall be rendered within thirty (30) days after appointment of the third arbitrator.  Such decision shall be in writing and in duplicate, one

12.15               Like Kind Exchange.  At either party’s request, the non-requesting party will take all actions reasonably requested by the requesting party in order to effectuate all or any part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a forward or reverse like-kind exchange for the benefit of the requesting party in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and, in the case of a reverse exchange, Rev. Proc. 2000-37, including executing an instrument acknowledging and consenting to any assignment by the requesting party of its rights hereunder to a qualified intermediary or an exchange accommodation titleholder.  In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the requesting party may assign its rights under this Agreement to a qualified intermediary or an exchange accommodation titleholder in order to facilitate, at no cost or expense to the other, a forward or reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that such assignment will not relieve the requesting party of any of its obligations hereunder.  The non-requesting party will also agree to issue all closing documents, including the deed, to the applicable qualified intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder if so directed by the requesting party prior to Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the non-requesting party incur or be subject to any liability that is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

12.18               Non-liability of Trustees of Purchaser.  The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust establishing Government Properties Income Trust, dated June 8, 2009, as amended and

12.19               Waiver.  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is a sophisticated purchaser of real properties and that it is aware of all disclosures the Seller is or may be required to provide to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to any law, rule or regulation (including those of Massachusetts and those of the state in which the Property is located).   The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser has had access to all information necessary to acquire the Property and the Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller has fully and completely fulfilled any and all disclosure obligations with respect thereto.  The Purchaser hereby fully and completely discharges the Seller from any further disclosure obligations whatsoever relating to the Property.

 

12.20               Further Assurances.  In addition to the actions recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed, and/or delivered by the Seller and the Purchaser, the Seller and the Purchaser agree to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered at the Closing or after the Closing any and all such further acts, instruments, deeds and assurances as may be reasonably required to establish, confirm or otherwise evidence the Seller’s satisfaction of any disclosure obligations or to otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(i)

 

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

 

 

 

(ii)

 

percentage rents and other unfixed charges payable under the Leases;

 

 

 

(iii)

 

fuel, electric, water and other utility costs;

water rates and charges;

 

 

 

(vii)

 

sewer and vault taxes and rents; and

 

 

 

(viii)

 

all other items of income and expense normally apportioned in sales of property in similar situations in the jurisdiction where the Property is located.

 

If any of the foregoing cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of the amounts which are to be apportioned, such items shall be apportioned on the basis of a good faith estimate by the parties and reconciled as soon as practicable after the Closing Date but, in any event, no later than one (1) year after the Closing Date.

 

(b)           If there are water, gas or electric meters located at the Property, the Seller shall obtain readings thereof to a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date and the unfixed water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity charges, if any, based thereon for the intervening time shall be apportioned on the basis of such last readings.  If such readings are not obtainable by the Closing Date, then, at the Closing, any water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity charges which are based on such readings shall be prorated based upon the per diem charges obtained by using the most recent period for which such readings shall then be available.  Upon the taking of subsequent

 

14



 

actual readings, the apportionment of such charges shall be recalculated and the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, promptly shall make a payment to the other based upon such recalculations.  The parties agree to make such final recalculations within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.

 

(c)           If any refunds of real property taxes or assessments, water rates and charges or sewer taxes and rents shall be made after the Closing, the same shall be held in trust by the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall first be applied to the unreimbursed costs incurred in obtaining the same, then to any required refunds to tenants under the Leases, and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Seller (for the period prior to the Closing Date) and to the Purchaser (for the period commencing with the Closing Date).

 

(d)           If, on the Closing Date, the Property shall be or shall have been affected by any special or general assessment or assessments or real property taxes payable in a lump sum or which are or may become payable in installments of which the first installment is then a charge or lien and has become payable, the Seller shall pay or cause to be paid at the Closing the unpaid installments of such assessments due and as of the Closing Date.

 

(e)           No insurance policies of the Seller are to be transferred to the Purchaser, and no apportionment of the premiums therefor shall be made.

 

(f)            At the Closing, the Seller shall transfer to the Purchaser the amount of all unapplied security deposits held pursuant to the terms of the Leases.

 

(g)           Brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts payable by the Seller as landlord under Leases entered into by the Seller after the date hereof, or in connection with the renewal or extension of any existing Lease, shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller at the Closing for all such brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts paid by the Seller prior to the Closing.  The Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all unpaid brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts payable by the Seller as landlord under Leases entered into by the Seller prior to the date hereof.

(i)            If a net amount is owed by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price.  If a net amount is owed by the Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be added to the Purchase Price paid to the Seller.

 

(j)            If, on the Closing Date, there are past due rents with respect to any Lease, amounts received by the Purchaser with respect to such Lease after the Closing Date shall be applied, first, to rents due or to become due during the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, and then, to all other rents due or past due in inverse order to the order in which they became due (i.e., first to arrearages most recently occurring, then to older arrearages).  In no event shall the Seller have any right to take any action to collect any past due rents or other amounts following the Closing; provided, however, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such past due rents and other amounts, except that the Purchaser shall have no obligation to institute any legal action or proceeding or otherwise enforce any of its rights and remedies under any Lease in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts.

 

The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing.

 

9.2           Closing Costs.

 

(a)           The Purchaser shall pay (i) the costs of closing and diligence in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, all premiums, charges and fees of the Title Company in connection with the title examination and insurance policies to be obtained by the Purchaser, including affirmative endorsements), (ii) fifty percent (50%) of all documentary, stamp, sales, intangible and other transfer taxes and fees incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) fifty

SECTION 10.       DAMAGE TO OR CONDEMNATION OF PROPERTY.

 

10.1         Casualty.  If, prior to the Closing, the Property is materially destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, the Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser of such fact.  In such event, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the Seller not later than ten (10) days after the giving the Seller’s notice (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until one day after the expiration of such ten-day period).  If the Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no party shall have any liability to the other hereunder.  If less than a material part of the Property shall be affected by fire or other casualty or if the Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and the Seller shall assign to the Purchaser at the Closing the rights of the Seller to the proceeds, if any, under the Seller’s insurance policies covering the Property with respect to such damage or destruction and there shall be credited against the Purchase Price the amount of any deductible, any proceeds previously received by Seller on account thereof and any deficiency in proceeds.

10.3         Survival.  The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 10 shall survive the Closing.

 

SECTION 11.       DEFAULT.

 

11.1         Default by the Seller.  If the transaction herein contemplated fails to close as a result of the default of the Seller hereunder, or the Seller having made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or the Seller having failed to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by the Seller, the Purchaser may, as its sole remedy, either (x) terminate this Agreement or (y) pursue a suit for specific performance.

 

11.2         Default by the Purchaser.  If the transaction herein contemplated fails to close as a result of the default of the Purchaser hereunder, or the Purchaser having made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or the Purchaser having failed to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by it, the Seller may terminate this Agreement (in which case, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for all of the fees, charges, disbursements and expenses of the Seller’s attorneys).

21



 

or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

In the event any party hereto shall elect to submit any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience in the general subject matter of the dispute.  Notice of such appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other, and the arbitrators so appointed, in the event of their failure to agree within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator upon the matter so submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator.  If either the Seller or the Purchaser shall fail to appoint an arbitrator, as aforesaid, for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from the other party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator appointed by the party having made such appointment shall appoint a second arbitrator and the two (2) so appointed shall, in the event of their failure to agree upon any decision within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint a third arbitrator.  If such arbitrators fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within forty five (45) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question.  The fees of the third arbitrator and the expenses incident to the proceedings shall be borne equally between the Seller and the Purchaser, unless the arbitrators decide otherwise.  The fees of respective counsel engaged by the parties, and the fees of expert witnesses and other witnesses called for by the parties, shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such witnesses.

12.5         Waivers, Etc.  Subject to the terms of the last paragraph of Section 6, any waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, or of the breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained herein, in any one instance, shall not operate as or be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any other breach of such term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty or any other term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty, nor shall any failure at any time or times to enforce or require performance of any provision hereof operate as a waiver of or affect in any manner such party’s right at a later time to enforce or require performance of such provision or any other provision hereof.  This Agreement may not be amended, nor shall any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge be effected, except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge is sought.

 

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

 

12.7         Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, invalid,

 

22



 

inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the conflict of any provision with any constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

 

12.8         Counterparts, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

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

 

23



 

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

 

12.13       Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

12.14       Arbitration.  Any party hereto may elect to submit any dispute hereunder that has an amount in controversy in excess of $250,000 to arbitration hereunder.  Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then pertaining and the decision of the arbitrators with respect to such dispute shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties.

 

In the event any party hereto shall elect to submit any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience in the general subject matter of the dispute.  Notice of such appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other, and the arbitrators so appointed, in the event of their failure to agree within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator upon the matter so submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator.  If either the Seller or the Purchaser shall fail to appoint an arbitrator, as aforesaid, for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from the other party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator appointed by the party having made such appointment shall appoint a second arbitrator and the two (2) so appointed shall, in the event of their failure to agree upon any decision within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint a third arbitrator.  If such arbitrators fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within forty five (45) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question.  The fees of the third arbitrator and the expenses incident to the proceedings shall be borne equally between the Seller and the Purchaser, unless the arbitrators decide otherwise.  The fees of respective counsel engaged by the parties, and the fees of expert witnesses and other witnesses called for by the parties, shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such witnesses.

 

24



 

The decision of the arbitrators shall be rendered within thirty (30) days after appointment of the third arbitrator.  Such decision shall be in writing and in duplicate, one counterpart thereof to be delivered to the Seller and one to the Purchaser.  A judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction may be entered upon the award of the arbitrators in accordance with the rules and statutes applicable thereto then obtaining.

 

12.15       Like Kind Exchange.  At either party’s request, the non-requesting party will take all actions reasonably requested by the requesting party in order to effectuate all or any part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a forward or reverse like-kind exchange for the benefit of the requesting party in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and, in the case of a reverse exchange, Rev. Proc. 2000-37, including executing an instrument acknowledging and consenting to any assignment by the requesting party of its rights hereunder to a qualified intermediary or an exchange accommodation titleholder.  In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the requesting party may assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” or an “exchange accommodation titleholder” in order to facilitate, at no cost or expense to the other, a forward or reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that such assignment will not relieve the requesting party of any of its obligations hereunder.  The non-requesting party will also agree to issue all closing documents, including the deed, to the applicable qualified intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder if so directed by the requesting party prior to Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the non-requesting party incur or be subject to any liability that is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

 

12.16       Recording.  This Agreement may not be recorded without the prior written consent of both parties.

 

12.17       Non-liability of Trustees of Purchaser.  The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust establishing Government Properties Income Trust, dated June 8, 2009, as amended and supplemented, as filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, provides that no trustee, officer, shareholder, employee or agent of Government Properties Income Trust shall be held to any personal liability, jointly or severally, for any obligation of, or claim against, Government Properties Income Trust.  All persons dealing with Government Properties Income Trust in any way shall look only to the assets

 

25



 

of Government Properties Income Trust for the payment of any sum or the performance of any obligation.

 

12.18       Waiver.  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is a sophisticated purchaser of real properties and that it is aware of all disclosures the Seller is or may be required to provide to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to any law, rule or regulation (including those of Massachusetts and those of the state in which the Property is located).   The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser has had access to all information necessary to acquire the Property and the Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller has fully and completely fulfilled any and all disclosure obligations with respect thereto.  The Purchaser hereby fully and completely discharges the Seller from any further disclosure obligations whatsoever relating to the Property.

 

12.19       Further Assurances.  In addition to the actions recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed, and/or delivered by the Seller and the Purchaser, the Seller and the Purchaser agree to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered at the Closing or after the Closing any and all such further acts, instruments, deeds and assurances as may be reasonably required to establish, confirm or otherwise evidence the Seller’s satisfaction of any disclosure obligations or to otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

12.20       Financials.  The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with access to the books and records of the Seller for the purpose of preparing audited financial statements for the Property with respect to the 2007, 2008, 2009 calendar years and stub 2010 period, such financial statements to be prepared at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.  The provisions of this Section 12.20 shall survive the Closing.

SECTION 3.                            TITLE, DILIGENCE MATERIALS, ETC.

 

3.1                                 Title.  Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Seller has delivered the Existing Title Policy and the Existing Survey to the Purchaser.

 

Within five (5) days after the execution hereof, the Purchaser shall order an update to the Existing Title Policy (an “Update”) from the Title Company.  The Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a copy of the Update promptly upon receipt thereof.  Promptly after receipt of the Update, but, in any event, prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall give the Seller written notice of any title exceptions (other than Permitted Exceptions) set forth on the Update as to which the Purchaser objects.  The Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to attempt to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any exceptions to title to which the Purchaser so objects.  If, for any reason, in its sole discretion, the Seller is unable or unwilling to take such actions as may be required to cause such exceptions to be removed from the Update, the Seller shall give the Purchaser notice thereof; it being understood and agreed that the failure of the Seller to give prompt notice of objection shall be deemed an election by the Seller not to remedy such matters.  If the Seller shall be unable or unwilling to remove any title defects to which the Purchaser has so objected, the Purchaser may elect (i) to terminate this Agreement or (ii) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding such title defect, without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account thereof (whereupon such objected to exceptions or matters shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions).  The Purchaser shall make any such election by written notice to the Seller given on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Seller’s notice of its unwillingness or inability to cure (or deemed election not to cure) such defect and time shall be of the essence with respect to the giving of such notice.  Failure of the Purchaser to give such notice shall be deemed an election by the Purchaser to proceed in accordance with clause (ii) above.

 

3.2                                 No Other Diligence.  The Purchaser acknowledges that, except as provided in Section 3.1, (i) the Purchaser has had the opportunity to fully investigate and inspect the physical and environmental condition of the Property, and to review and analyze all title examinations, surveys, environmental assessment reports, building evaluations, financial data and other investigations and materials pertaining to the Property which the Purchaser deems necessary to determine the feasibility of the Property and its decision to acquire the Property, (ii) the Purchaser shall not be conducting any further

 

5



 

title examinations, surveys, environmental assessments, building evaluations, financial analyses or other investigations with respect to the Property, and (iii) the Purchaser shall not have any right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any title examinations, surveys, environmental assessments, building valuations, financial analyses or other investigations with respect to the Property.

 

SECTION 4.                            CONDITIONS TO THE PURCHASER’S OBLIGATION TO CLOSE.

 

The obligation of the Purchaser to acquire the Property shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent on and as of the Closing Date:

(e)                                  No insurance policies of the Seller are to be transferred to the Purchaser, and no apportionment of the premiums therefor shall be made.

(j)                                     If, on the Closing Date, there are past due rents with respect to any Lease, amounts received by the Purchaser with respect to such Lease after the Closing Date shall be applied, first, to rents due or to become due during the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, and then, to all other rents due or past due in inverse order to the order in which they became due (i.e., first to arrearages most recently occurring, then to older arrearages).  In no event shall the Seller have any right to take any action to collect any past due rents or other amounts following the Closing; provided, however, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such past due rents and other amounts, except that the Purchaser shall have no obligation to institute any legal action or proceeding or otherwise enforce any of its rights and remedies under any Lease in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts.

12.5                 Waivers, Etc.  Subject to the terms of the last paragraph of Section 6, any waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, or of the breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained herein, in any one instance, shall not operate as or be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any other breach of such term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty or any other term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty, nor shall any failure at any time or times to enforce or require performance of any provision hereof operate as a waiver of or affect in any manner such party’s right at a later time to enforce or require performance of such provision or any other provision hereof.  This Agreement may not be amended, nor shall any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge be effected, except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge is sought.

 

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

 

12.7                 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the conflict of any provision with any

 

21



 

constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

 

12.8                 Counterparts, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

12.9                 Performance on Business Days.  In the event the date on which performance or payment of any obligation of a party required hereunder is other than a Business Day, the time for payment or performance shall automatically be extended to the first Business Day following such date.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

22



 

12.13               Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

12.14               Arbitration.  Any party hereto may elect to submit any dispute hereunder that has an amount in controversy in excess of $250,000 to arbitration hereunder.  Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then pertaining and the decision of the arbitrators with respect to such dispute shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties.

 

In the event any party hereto shall elect to submit any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience in the general subject matter of the dispute.  Notice of such appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other, and the arbitrators so appointed, in the event of their failure to agree within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator upon the matter so submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator.  If either the Seller or the Purchaser shall fail to appoint an arbitrator, as aforesaid, for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from the other party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator appointed by the party having made such appointment shall appoint a second arbitrator and the two (2) so appointed shall, in the event of their failure to agree upon any decision within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint a third arbitrator.  If such arbitrators fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within forty five (45) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question.  The fees of the third arbitrator and the expenses incident to the proceedings shall be borne equally between the Seller and the Purchaser, unless the arbitrators decide otherwise.  The fees of respective counsel engaged by the parties, and the fees of expert witnesses and other witnesses called for by the parties, shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such witnesses.

 

The decision of the arbitrators shall be rendered within thirty (30) days after appointment of the third arbitrator.  Such decision shall be in writing and in duplicate, one

 

23



 

counterpart thereof to be delivered to the Seller and one to the Purchaser.  A judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction may be entered upon the award of the arbitrators in accordance with the rules and statutes applicable thereto then obtaining.

 

12.15               Like Kind Exchange.  At either party’s request, the non-requesting party will take all actions reasonably requested by the requesting party in order to effectuate all or any part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a forward or reverse like-kind exchange for the benefit of the requesting party in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and, in the case of a reverse exchange, Rev. Proc. 2000-37, including executing an instrument acknowledging and consenting to any assignment by the requesting party of its rights hereunder to a qualified intermediary or an exchange accommodation titleholder.  In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the requesting party may assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” or an “exchange accommodation titleholder” in order to facilitate, at no cost or expense to the other, a forward or reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that such assignment will not relieve the requesting party of any of its obligations hereunder.  The non-requesting party will also agree to issue all closing documents, including the deed, to the applicable qualified intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder if so directed by the requesting party prior to Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the non-requesting party incur or be subject to any liability that is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

 

12.16               Recording.  This Agreement may not be recorded without the prior written consent of both parties.

 

12.17               Non-liability of Trustees of Purchaser.  The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust establishing Government Properties Income Trust, dated June 8, 2009, as amended and supplemented, as filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, provides that no trustee, officer, shareholder, employee or agent of Government Properties Income Trust shall be held to any personal liability, jointly or severally, for any obligation of, or claim against, Government Properties Income Trust.  All persons dealing with Government Properties Income Trust in any way shall look only to the assets of Government Properties Income Trust for the payment of any sum or the performance of any obligation.

 

24



 

12.18               Waiver.  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is a sophisticated purchaser of real properties and that it is aware of all disclosures the Seller is or may be required to provide to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to any law, rule or regulation (including those of Massachusetts and those of the state in which the Property is located).   The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser has had access to all information necessary to acquire the Property and the Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller has fully and completely fulfilled any and all disclosure obligations with respect thereto.  The Purchaser hereby fully and completely discharges the Seller from any further disclosure obligations whatsoever relating to the Property.

 

12.19               Further Assurances.  In addition to the actions recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed, and/or delivered by the Seller and the Purchaser, the Seller and the Purchaser agree to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered at the Closing or after the Closing any and all such further acts, instruments, deeds and assurances as may be reasonably required to establish, confirm or otherwise evidence the Seller’s satisfaction of any disclosure obligations or to otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

12.20               Financials.  The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with access to the books and records of the Seller for the purpose of preparing audited financial statements for the Property with respect to the 2007, 2008, 2009 calendar years and stub 2010 period, such financial statements to be prepared at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.  The provisions of this Section 12.20 shall survive the Closing.

(c)           If any refunds of real property taxes or assessments, water rates and charges or sewer taxes and rents shall be made after the Closing, the same shall be held in trust by the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall first be applied to the unreimbursed costs incurred in obtaining the same, then to any required refunds to tenants under the Leases, and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Seller (for the period prior to the Closing Date) and to the Purchaser (for the period commencing with the Closing Date).

 

(d)           If, on the Closing Date, the Property shall be or shall have been affected by any special or general assessment or assessments or real property taxes payable in a lump sum or which are or may become payable in installments of which the first installment is then a charge or lien and has become payable, the Seller shall pay or cause to be paid at the Closing the unpaid installments of such assessments due and as of the Closing Date.

 

(e)           No insurance policies of the Seller are to be transferred to the Purchaser, and no apportionment of the premiums therefor shall be made.

 

(f)            At the Closing, the Seller shall transfer to the Purchaser the amount of all unapplied security deposits held pursuant to the terms of the Leases.

 

(g)           Brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts payable by the Seller as landlord under Leases entered into by the Seller after the date hereof, or in connection with the renewal or extension of any existing Lease, shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller at the Closing for all such brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts paid by the Seller prior to the Closing.  The Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all unpaid brokerage commissions, tenant improvement expenses and other amounts payable by the Seller as

landlord under Leases entered into by the Seller prior to the date hereof.

 

(h)           Amounts payable after the date hereof on account of capital expenditures under the 2010 capital expenditure budget prepared as of March 31, 2010 (the “CapEx Budget”) (including, without limitation, budgeted items for “building improvements” and “development and redevelopment”), shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller at the Closing for all amounts paid by the Seller prior to the Closing on account of capital expenditures under the CapEx Budget payable after the date hereof.  The Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all unpaid amounts payable on account of capital expenditures under the CapEx Budget prior to the date hereof.  A copy of the CapEx Budget has been previously provided to the Purchaser.

 

(i)            If a net amount is owed by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price.  If a net amount is owed by the Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be added to the Purchase Price paid to the Seller.

 

(j)            If, on the Closing Date, there are past due rents with respect to any Lease, amounts received by the Purchaser with respect to such Lease after the Closing Date shall be applied, first, to rents due or to become due during the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, and then, to all other rents due or past due in inverse order to the order in which they became due (i.e., first to arrearages most recently occurring, then to older arrearages).  In no event shall the Seller have any right to take any action to collect any past due rents or other amounts following the Closing; provided, however, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such past due rents and other amounts, except that the Purchaser shall have no obligation to institute any legal action or proceeding or otherwise enforce any of its rights and remedies under any Lease in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts.

 

The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing.

 

9.2                   Closing Costs.

(c)           Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its attorneys and other consultants.

 

SECTION 10.       DAMAGE TO OR CONDEMNATION OF PROPERTY.

 

10.1                 Casualty.  If, prior to the Closing, the Property is materially destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, the Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser of such fact.  In such event, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the Seller not later than ten (10) days after the giving the Seller’s notice (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until one day after the expiration of such ten-day period).  If the Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no party shall have any liability to the other hereunder.  If less than a material part of the Property shall be affected by fire or other casualty or if the Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and the Seller shall assign to the Purchaser at the Closing the rights of the Seller to the proceeds, if any, under the Seller’s insurance policies covering the Property with respect to such damage or destruction and there shall be credited against the Purchase Price the amount of any deductible, any proceeds previously received by Seller on account thereof and any deficiency in proceeds.

 

10.2                 Condemnation.  If, prior to the Closing, a material part of the Property (including access or parking thereto), is taken by eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated), the Seller shall notify the Purchaser of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof and the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this

 

17



 

Agreement by giving notice to the Seller not later than ten (10) days after the giving of the Seller’s notice (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until one day after the expiration of such ten-day period).  If the Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no party shall have any liability to the other hereunder.  If less than a material part of the Property shall be affected or if the Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the sale of the Property shall be consummated as herein provided without any adjustment to the Purchase Price (except to the extent of any condemnation award received by the Seller prior to the Closing) and the Seller shall assign to the Purchaser at the Closing all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all awards, if any, for the taking, and the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep all awards for the taking of the Property or portion thereof.

 

10.3                 Survival.  The parties’ obligations, if any, under this Section 10 shall survive the Closing.

 

SECTION 11.       DEFAULT.

 

11.1                 Default by the Seller.  If the transaction herein contemplated fails to close as a result of the default of the Seller hereunder, or the Seller having made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or the Seller having failed to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by the Seller, the Purchaser may, as its sole remedy, either (x) terminate this Agreement or (y) pursue a suit for specific performance.

 

11.2                 Default by the Purchaser.  If the transaction herein contemplated fails to close as a result of the default of the Purchaser hereunder, or the Purchaser having made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or the Purchaser having failed to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by it, the Seller may terminate this Agreement (in which case, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for all of the fees, charges, disbursements and expenses of the Seller’s attorneys).

12.5                 Waivers, Etc.  Subject to the terms of the last paragraph of Section 6, any waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, or of the breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained herein, in any one instance, shall not operate as or be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any other breach of such term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty or any other term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty, nor shall any failure at any time or times to enforce or require performance of any provision hereof operate as a waiver of or affect in any manner such party’s right at a later time to enforce or require performance of such provision or any other provision hereof.  This Agreement may not be amended, nor shall any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge be effected, except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge is sought.

 

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

 

12.7                 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the conflict of any provision with any

 

21



 

constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

 

12.8                 Counterparts, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

12.9                 Performance on Business Days.  In the event the date on which performance or payment of any obligation of a party required hereunder is other than a Business Day, the time for payment or performance shall automatically be extended to the first Business Day following such date.

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

 

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

 

22



 

12.13               Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

12.14               Arbitration.  Any party hereto may elect to submit any dispute hereunder that has an amount in controversy in excess of $250,000 to arbitration hereunder.  Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then pertaining and the decision of the arbitrators with respect to such dispute shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties.

 

In the event any party hereto shall elect to submit any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience in the general subject matter of the dispute.  Notice of such appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other, and the arbitrators so appointed, in the event of their failure to agree within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator upon the matter so submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator.  If either the Seller or the Purchaser shall fail to appoint an arbitrator, as aforesaid, for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from the other party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator appointed by the party having made such appointment shall appoint a second arbitrator and the two (2) so appointed shall, in the event of their failure to agree upon any decision within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint a third arbitrator.  If such arbitrators fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within forty five (45) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question.  The fees of the third arbitrator and the expenses incident to the proceedings shall be borne equally between the Seller and the Purchaser, unless the arbitrators decide otherwise.  The fees of respective counsel engaged by the parties, and the fees of expert witnesses and other witnesses called for by the parties, shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such witnesses.

 

The decision of the arbitrators shall be rendered within thirty (30) days after appointment of the third arbitrator.  Such decision shall be in writing and in duplicate, one

 

23



 

counterpart thereof to be delivered to the Seller and one to the Purchaser.  A judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction may be entered upon the award of the arbitrators in accordance with the rules and statutes applicable thereto then obtaining.

 

12.15               Like Kind Exchange.  At either party’s request, the non-requesting party will take all actions reasonably requested by the requesting party in order to effectuate all or any part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a forward or reverse like-kind exchange for the benefit of the requesting party in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and, in the case of a reverse exchange, Rev. Proc. 2000-37, including executing an instrument acknowledging and consenting to any assignment by the requesting party of its rights hereunder to a qualified intermediary or an exchange accommodation titleholder.  In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the requesting party may assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” or an “exchange accommodation titleholder” in order to facilitate, at no cost or expense to the other, a forward or reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that such assignment will not relieve the requesting party of any of its obligations hereunder.  The non-requesting party will also agree to issue all closing documents, including the deed, to the applicable qualified intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder if so directed by the requesting party prior to Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the non-requesting party incur or be subject to any liability that is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

 

12.16               Recording.  This Agreement may not be recorded without the prior written consent of both parties.

 

12.17               Non-liability of Trustees of Purchaser.  The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust establishing Government Properties Income Trust, dated June 8, 2009, as amended and supplemented, as filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, provides that no trustee, officer, shareholder, employee or agent of Government Properties Income Trust shall be held to any personal liability, jointly or severally, for any obligation of, or claim against, Government Properties Income Trust.  All persons dealing with Government Properties Income Trust in any way shall look only to the assets of Government Properties Income Trust for the payment of any sum or the performance of any obligation.

 

24



 

12.18               Waiver.  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is a sophisticated purchaser of real properties and that it is aware of all disclosures the Seller is or may be required to provide to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to any law, rule or regulation (including those of Massachusetts and those of the state in which the Property is located).  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser has had access to all information necessary to acquire the Property and the Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller has fully and completely fulfilled any and all disclosure obligations with respect thereto.  The Purchaser hereby fully and completely discharges the Seller from any further disclosure obligations whatsoever relating to the Property.

 

12.19               Further Assurances.  In addition to the actions recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed, and/or delivered by the Seller and the Purchaser, the Seller and the Purchaser agree to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered at the Closing or after the Closing any and all such further acts, instruments, deeds and assurances as may be reasonably required to establish, confirm or otherwise evidence the Seller’s satisfaction of any disclosure obligations or to otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

12.20               Financials.  The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with access to the books and records of the Seller for the purpose of preparing audited financial statements for the Property with respect to the 2007, 2008, 2009 calendar years and stub 2010 period, such financial statements to be prepared at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.  The provisions of this Section 12.20 shall survive the Closing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may accelerate the Closing Date, by giving not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice (an “Acceleration Notice”) to the other, in which event the Closing Date shall be the date set forth in such Acceleration Notice, unless the party receiving the Acceleration Notice gives written notice (a “Rejection Notice”) to the other within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of the Acceleration Notice, which Rejection Notice either objects to the accelerated date set forth in the Acceleration Notice or proposes an alternative accelerated date acceptable to the other party.  In the event that any party shall give a Rejection Notice, the Closing Date shall either be not accelerated and shall occur as set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 

 

3



 

2.2 or accelerated to such proposed alternative accelerated Closing Date; provided, however, that the Seller shall have the right to give a Rejection Notice only if the acceleration of the Closing Date will adversely effect the Seller’s ability to conclude a like kind exchange pursuant to Section 12.15, and the Purchaser shall have the right to give a Rejection Notice only if the acceleration of the Closing Date will adversely effect any financing of the acquisition.

3.2              No Other Diligence.  The Purchaser acknowledges that, except as provided in Section 3.1, (i) the Purchaser has had the opportunity to fully investigate and inspect the physical and environmental condition of the Property, and to review and analyze all title examinations, surveys, environmental assessment reports, building evaluations, financial data and other investigations and materials pertaining to the Property which the Purchaser deems necessary to determine the feasibility of the Property and its decision to acquire the Property, (ii) the Purchaser shall not be conducting any further title examinations, surveys, environmental assessments, building evaluations, financial analyses or other investigations with respect to the Property, and (iii) the Purchaser shall not have any right to terminate

12.7                 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the conflict of any provision with any

 

21



 

constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

 

12.8                 Counterparts, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

12.5                 Waivers, Etc.  Subject to the terms of the last paragraph of Section 6, any waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, or of the breach of any covenant, representation or warranty contained herein, in any one instance, shall not operate as or be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any other breach of such term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty or any other term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty, nor shall any failure at any time or times to enforce or require performance of any provision hereof operate as a waiver of or affect in any manner such party’s right at a later time to enforce or require performance of such provision or any other provision hereof.  This Agreement may not be amended, nor shall any waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge be effected, except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification, consent or discharge is sought.

 

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

 

12.7                 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the conflict of any provision with any

 

21



 

constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case.

 

12.8                 Counterparts, Etc.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and take the place of any other instruments purporting to be an agreement of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

12.9                 Performance on Business Days.  In the event the date on which performance or payment of any obligation of a party required hereunder is other than a Business Day, the time for payment or performance shall automatically be extended to the first Business Day following such date.

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

22



 

12.13               Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

 

12.14               Arbitration.  Any party hereto may elect to submit any dispute hereunder that has an amount in controversy in excess of $250,000 to arbitration hereunder.  Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then pertaining and the decision of the arbitrators with respect to such dispute shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties.

 

In the event any party hereto shall elect to submit any such dispute to arbitration hereunder, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each appoint and pay all fees of a fit and impartial person as arbitrator with at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience in the general subject matter of the dispute.  Notice of such appointment shall be sent in writing by each party to the other, and the arbitrators so appointed, in the event of their failure to agree within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator upon the matter so submitted, shall appoint a third arbitrator.  If either the Seller or the Purchaser shall fail to appoint an arbitrator, as aforesaid, for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from the other party to make such appointment, then the arbitrator appointed by the party having made such appointment shall appoint a second arbitrator and the two (2) so appointed shall, in the event of their failure to agree upon any decision within thirty (30) days thereafter, appoint a third arbitrator.  If such arbitrators fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within forty five (45) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, then such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and shall be a person having at least ten (10) years’ recent professional experience as to the subject matter in question.  The fees of the third arbitrator and the expenses incident to the proceedings shall be borne equally between the Seller and the Purchaser, unless the arbitrators decide otherwise.  The fees of respective counsel engaged by the parties, and the fees of expert witnesses and other witnesses called for by the parties, shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such witnesses.

 

The decision of the arbitrators shall be rendered within thirty (30) days after appointment of the third arbitrator.  Such decision shall be in writing and in duplicate, one

 

23



 

counterpart thereof to be delivered to the Seller and one to the Purchaser.  A judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction may be entered upon the award of the arbitrators in accordance with the rules and statutes applicable thereto then obtaining.

 

12.15               Like Kind Exchange.  At either party’s request, the non-requesting party will take all actions reasonably requested by the requesting party in order to effectuate all or any part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a forward or reverse like-kind exchange for the benefit of the requesting party in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and, in the case of a reverse exchange, Rev. Proc. 2000-37, including executing an instrument acknowledging and consenting to any assignment by the requesting party of its rights hereunder to a qualified intermediary or an exchange accommodation titleholder.  In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the requesting party may assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” or an “exchange accommodation titleholder” in order to facilitate, at no cost or expense to the other, a forward or reverse like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that such assignment will not relieve the requesting party of any of its obligations hereunder.  The non-requesting party will also agree to issue all closing documents, including the deed, to the applicable qualified intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder if so directed by the requesting party prior to Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the non-requesting party incur or be subject to any liability that is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

 

12.16               Recording.  This Agreement may not be recorded without the prior written consent of both parties.

 

12.17               Non-liability of Trustees of Purchaser.  The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust establishing Government Properties Income Trust, dated June 8, 2009, as amended and supplemented, as filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, provides that no trustee, officer, shareholder, employee or agent of Government Properties Income Trust shall be held to any personal liability, jointly or severally, for any obligation of, or claim against, Government Properties Income Trust.  All persons dealing with Government Properties Income Trust in any way shall look only to the assets of Government Properties Income Trust for the payment of any sum or the performance of any obligation.

 

24



 

12.18               Waiver.  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is a sophisticated purchaser of real properties and that it is aware of all disclosures the Seller is or may be required to provide to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to any law, rule or regulation (including those of Massachusetts and those of the state in which the Property is located).   The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser has had access to all information necessary to acquire the Property and the Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller has fully and completely fulfilled any and all disclosure obligations with respect thereto.  The Purchaser hereby fully and completely discharges the Seller from any further disclosure obligations whatsoever relating to the Property.

 

12.19               Further Assurances.  In addition to the actions recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed, and/or delivered by the Seller and the Purchaser, the Seller and the Purchaser agree to perform, execute and/or deliver or cause to be performed, executed and/or delivered at the Closing or after the Closing any and all such further acts, instruments, deeds and assurances as may be reasonably required to establish, confirm or otherwise evidence the Seller’s satisfaction of any disclosure obligations or to otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

12.20               Financials.  The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with access to the books and records of the Seller for the purpose of preparing audited financial statements for the Property with respect to the 2007, 2008, 2009 calendar years and stub 2010 period, such financial statements to be prepared at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.  The provisions of this Section 12.20 shall survive the Closing.

HRPT Properties Trust Announces Name Change, Reverse Stock Split,

Dividend Increase and Sales of $231 Million of Properties

 

Newton, MA (June 15, 2010): HRPT Properties Trust (NYSE: HRP) today announced the following corporate actions:

 

Name Change:

 

Effective July 1, 2010, HRP will change its name to “CommonWealth REIT”.  On and after that date, the common shares of HRP will be traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under a new symbol “CWH”.

 

When it completed its initial public offering in 1986, HRP was known as “Health and Rehabilitation Properties Trust” and it primarily owned healthcare rehabilitation facilities.  In 1994, HRP expanded its investment focus to include various senior housing facilities, and its name was changed to “Health and Retirement Properties Trust”.  In 1998, HRP changed its investment focus to include commercial office properties, and the present name of “HRPT Properties Trust” was adopted.  Today, HRP is primarily invested in office and industrial properties and no longer makes investments in healthcare properties.  The Board of Trustees determined that adopting the new name “CommonWealth REIT” may be an appropriate way to avoid any lingering confusion that the company may be a healthcare focused real estate investment trust, or REIT.

 

As of March 31, 2010, HRP owned 518 properties with approximately 66.8 million square feet in over 60 markets in 34 states and Washington, DC, representing total investments of $6.6 billion.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010, 41.0% of the company’s property net operating income (“NOI”) came from suburban office properties, 37.3% of NOI came from central business district, or CBD, office properties and 21.7% of NOI came from industrial and other property investments.

 

A Maryland Real Estate Investment Trust with transferable shares of beneficial interest listed on the New York Stock Exchange.  No shareholder, Trustee or officer is personally liable for any act or obligation of the Trust.

 



 

Reverse Share Split:

 

HRP also announced that its Board has determined to implement a common share combination by which the number of its common shares outstanding will be reduced by three quarters: for every four existing common shares owned, shareholders will receive one new common share.  Fractional shares will be issued where appropriate.

 

At the company’s shareholders’ 2009 annual meeting, shareholders voted to amend HRP’s declaration of trust to permit the Board to implement a share combination in the discretion of the Board.  After studying this matter, the Board has concluded that a one for four share combination is desirable because it may reduce the transaction costs for shareholders who pay brokerage commissions on the basis of the number of shares traded.

 

The share combination will be effective on July 1, 2010.  On and after that date, shares traded on the NYSE will be the new combined shares and will trade under the new symbol “CWH”.

 

Dividend Increase:

 

HRP currently pays a regular quarterly dividend of $0.12/share ($0.48/share per year).  After the reverse share split, HRP currently expects to pay a regular quarterly dividend of $0.50/share ($2.00/share per year).

 

The next regular quarterly dividend of $0.50/share with respect to HRP’s performance during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 is expected to be declared during July 2010.  That dividend will be paid to shareholders of record on a later date to be announced when the dividend is declared.

 

Property Sales:

 

HRP has agreed to sell 15 properties to Government Properties Income Trust (NYSE: GOV) for $231 million.  All of these properties are majority leased to government tenants.

 

The sales of properties announced today are expected to be completed in phases between today and March 31, 2011.  When all of these sales are completed, HRP expects to recognize net capital gains totaling approximately $20 million (which amount does not include additional capital gains of approximately $10 million which are deferred under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, because of HRP’s share ownership of GOV).  Also, the cash NOI which HRP currently receives from these properties is about $19.7 million (excluding straight line rents which are recognized under GAAP), and the sales prices represent an approximately 8.5% capitalization rate of that cash NOI.

 

GOV was formerly a 100% owned subsidiary of HRP that is now a separately traded REIT.  All of the properties to be sold to GOV were properties for which HRP had previously granted GOV rights of first refusal in the event that HRP determined to offer the properties for sale.  After the sales of these properties, the U.S. Government will continue to be a large tenant for HRP.  Also, HRP currently owns 9,950,000 common shares of GOV representing approximately 31.8% of GOV’s total common shares outstanding.  In combination, HRP’s direct

rental income from the U.S. Government and HRP’s pro rata share of GOV’s rental income from the U.S. Government will be approximately 5.8% of HRP’s combined direct rental income and its pro rata share of all GOV’s rental income.

 

Each of HRP and GOV are managed by Reit Management & Research LLC (“RMR”).  Accordingly, the sales announced today have been negotiated by special committees of the Boards of HRP and GOV composed solely of Independent Trustees who are not also Trustees of the counterparty.  Also, the agreed sales prices are within the ranges of market values determined by an independent third party appraiser.

 

Information for Common and Preferred Shareholders:

 

Common shareholders who hold in “street name” in their brokerage accounts do not have to take any action as a result of the name change or the share combination announced today.  Their accounts will be automatically adjusted to reflect the new company name and the number of shares owned.

 

Common shareholders who own their shares in electronically recorded registered form will have their accounts automatically adjusted by the transfer agent, Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, and their changed account information will be shown on their next account statement.

 

A letter relating to the name change and reverse split will be sent to record holders of certificates of common shares after these actions become effective.  Certificated common share record holders should follow the instructions in that letter to elect to have their ownership recorded electronically in registered form or to have new share certificates issued.

 

Outstanding preferred shares will not be affected by the name change or the reverse split announced today, except as follows:

 

·                  HRP’s Class B Preferred Shares which currently trade under the symbol “HRP-PB” will trade under the symbol “CWH-PB” effective on July 1, 2010.

 

·                  HRP’s Class C Preferred Shares which currently trade under the symbol “HRP-PC” will trade under the symbol “CWH-PC” effective on July 1, 2010.

 

·                  HRP’s Class D Convertible Preferred Shares which currently trade under the symbol “HRP-PD” will trade under the symbol “CWH-PD” effective on July 1, 2010.  Also, the number of common shares into which each Class D Convertible Preferred Shares is convertible will be adjusted pro rata for the common share combination announced above; one Class D Convertible Preferred Share will become convertible into 0.4808 common shares of CommonWealth REIT effective on July 1, 2010.

 

Preferred shareholders who own their preferred shares in “street name” in their brokerage account do not need to take any action.  Their accounts will be automatically adjusted to reflect the new name.

 

Preferred shareholders who own their preferred shares in electronically recorded registered form will have their accounts automatically adjusted to reflect the new name of CommonWealth REIT by the transfer agent, U.S. Bank National Association.

A letter relating to the name change and reverse split will be sent to record holders of certificates of preferred shares after those actions become effective.  Certificated record holders of preferred shares should follow instructions in that letter to elect to have their preferred share ownership recorded electronically in registered form or to have new share certificates issued.

 

Please note:  HRP’s bylaws currently provide and CommonWealth REIT’s bylaws will continue to provide that shareholders who desire to make proposals or nominations of persons to serve as trustees must present copies of their certificates at the time they make such proposals or nominations.  Accordingly, shareholders who intend to present proposals or nominations should request share certificates of CommonWealth REIT.

 

WARNING REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

THE FOREGOING PRESS RELEASE CONTAINS FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND OTHER SECURITIES LAWS.  THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS ARE BASED UPON HRP’S PRESENT BELIEFS AND EXPECTATIONS, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO OCCUR AND MAY NOT OCCUR FOR VARIOUS REASONS, INCLUDING SOME REASONS WHICH ARE BEYOND HRP’S CONTROL.  FOR EXAMPLE:

 

·                  THIS PRESS RELEASE STATES THAT THE NEW NAME “COMMONWEALTH REIT”  MAY BE AN APPROPRIATE WAY TO AVOID ANY LINGERING CONFUSION THAT THE COMPANY MAY BE A HEALTHCARE FOCUSED REIT. HOWEVER, THIS NAME CHANGE ITSELF MAY CAUSE SOME CONFUSION IN THE MARKET FOR THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES.  ALSO, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS NAME CHANGE WILL CAUSE THE COMPANY TO INCUR COSTS TO PRINT AND DISTRIBUTE NEW SHARE CERTIFICATES AND OTHERWISE.  ACCORDINGLY, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THIS NAME CHANGE WILL BENEFIT SHAREHOLDERS.

 

·                  THIS PRESS RELEASE STATES THAT HRP SHAREHOLDERS VOTED TO AMEND HRP’S DECLARATION OF TRUST TO PERMIT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO IMPLEMENT A SHARE COMBINATION AND THAT THE ONE FOR FOUR SHARE COMBINATION MAY REDUCE THE TRANSACTION COSTS FOR SHAREHOLDERS WHO PAY BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS ON THE BASIS OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES TRADED.  AN IMPLICATION OF THESE STATEMENTS MAY BE THAT THE SHARE COMBINATION WILL BENEFIT SHAREHOLDERS.  IN FACT, COMBINATIONS OF PUBLICLY TRADED SHARES INTO A LESSER NUMBER OF SHARES HISTORICALLY HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN MARKET PRICES WHICH ARE LESS THAN THE HISTORICAL AGGREGATE MARKET PRICES OF THE COMBINING SHARES.  HRP CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE MARKET PRICE OF ITS COMBINED SHARES WILL EQUAL AT LEAST FOUR TIMES THE PRICE OF ITS SHARES BEFORE THE COMBINATION OR THAT THE SHARE COMBINATION WILL BENEFIT SHAREHOLDERS.

·                  THIS PRESS RELEASE STATES THAT HRP CURRENTLY EXPECTS TO PAY A REGULAR QUARTERLY DIVIDEND OF $0.50/SHARE BEGINNING WITH THE DIVIDEND TO BE DECLARED IN JULY 2010.  DIVIDENDS ARE DECLARED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN ITS DISCRETION. AMONG THE FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD IN SETTING DIVIDENDS ARE: HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED EARNINGS, FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND CASH AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION; EXPECTED CASH NEEDS AND FUNDING SOURCES; TAX LAW REQUIREMENTS TO RETAIN REIT STATUS; COVENANTS IN DEBT AGREEMENTS AND PREFERRED SHARE INDENTURES; AND VARIOUS OTHER FACTORS, INCLUDING SOME BEYOND HRP’S CONTROL, SUCH AS MARKET CONDITIONS.  IN THE PAST, HRP’S DIVIDEND HAS BEEN REDUCED.  THE RATE AT WHICH FUTURE DIVIDENDS MAY BE PAID IS NOT ASSURED.  FUTURE DIVIDENDS MAY BE PAID AT REDUCED RATES OR EVEN ELIMINATED.

 

·                  THIS PRESS RELEASE STATES THAT HRP HAS AGREED TO SELL 15 PROPERTIES TO GOV FOR $231 MILLION.  THESE SALES ARE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS CONTRACTUAL CONTINGENCIES TYPICAL OF LARGE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS.  THESE CONTINGENCIES MAY RESULT IN CANCELLATION OF SOME OR ALL OF THESE SALES OR PRICE ADJUSTMENTS.

 

·                  THIS PRESS RELEASE STATES THAT THE SALES OF PROPERTIES TO GOV ARE EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED IN PHASES BETWEEN TODAY AND MARCH 31, 2011.  BECAUSE THE SALE OF EACH PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO VARIOUS CONTINGENCIES, SOME OF THESE SALES MAY BE ACCELERATED, SOME MAY BE DELAYED BEYOND MARCH 31, 2011 AND SOME MAY NOT OCCUR.

 

·                  THIS PRESS RELEASE STATES THAT HRP EXPECTS THAT IT WILL RECOGNIZE NET CAPITAL GAINS OF APPROXIMATELY $20 MILLION WHEN THE SALES OF ALL 15 PROPERTIES TO GOV ARE COMPLETED.  THE SALES OF PROPERTIES TO GOV ARE EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED IN PHASES.  HRP MAY RECOGNIZE NO CAPITAL GAINS OR CAPITAL LOSSES AT THE TIME CERTAIN OF THESE SALES ARE COMPLETED.  ALSO, AS NOTED ABOVE, EACH OF THESE TRANSACTIONS IS SUBJECT TO CONTINGENCIES AND SOME SALES MAY NOT OCCUR.  ACCORDINGLY, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE NET CAPITAL GAINS RECOGNIZED BY HRP WHEN THE SALES OF THESE PROPERTIES ARE COMPLETED OR CANCELLED MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN $20 MILLION OR EVEN THAT HRP WILL RECOGNIZE A NET CAPITAL LOSS.

 

·                  THIS PRESS RELEASE STATES THAT HRP’S AGREEMENTS TO SELL PROPERTIES TO GOV WERE NEGOTIATED BY SPECIAL COMMITTEES OF THE BOARDS OF HRP AND GOV COMPOSED SOLELY OF INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES WHO ARE NOT ALSO TRUSTEES OF THE COUNTERPARTY

 

5



 

AND THAT THE SALES PRICES ARE WITHIN THE RANGES OF MARKET VALUES DETERMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY APPRAISER.  AN IMPLICATION OF THESE STATEMENTS MAY BE THAT THESE SALES ARE ARMS LENGTH TRANSACTIONS.  IN FACT, BOTH HRP AND GOV ARE MANAGED BY RMR AND HAVE COMMON MANAGING TRUSTEES.  ACCORDINGLY, THIRD PARTIES SEEKING TO CONTEST THESE SALES MAY ALLEGE THAT THEY ARE NOT EQUIVALENT TO ARMS LENGTH TRANSACTIONS AND THE SALES PRICES MAY BE DIFFERENT THAN THE PRICES WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED IN ARMS LENGTH TRANSACTIONS WHICH WERE FULLY MARKETED.  FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG HRP, GOV AND RMR AND THE RISKS WHICH ARISE FROM THESE RELATIONSHIPS, SEE HRP’S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 (THE “ANNUAL REPORT”) AND ITS OTHER FILINGS MADE WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “SEC”), AND IN PARTICULAR THE SECTION CAPTIONED “RISK FACTORS” IN THE ANNUAL REPORT, THE SECTION CAPTIONED “MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS” IN THE ANNUAL REPORT AND THE SECTION CAPTIONED “RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS AND COMPANY REVIEW OF SUCH TRANSACTIONS” IN THE HRP PROXY STATEMENT DATED FEBRUARY 23, 2010 RELATED TO ITS 2010 ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING.  ALL OF THESE DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE SEC WEBSITE AT WWW.SEC.GOV AND ON HRP’S WEBSITE AT WWW.HRPREIT.COM.

 

FOR THESE AND OTHER REASONS, INVESTORS ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE UPON FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS IN THIS PRESS RELEASE.

 

BY MAKING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS HRP (A/K/A COMMONWEALTH REIT) DOES NOT INTEND TO IMPLY THAT IT IS UNDERTAKING TO PROVIDE UPDATES AS A RESULT OF CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES OR NEW INFORMATION, EXCEPT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
