Properties, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the &#147;2021 Plan&#148;), subject to stockholder approval. On May&nbsp;20, 2021, the stockholders of Boston Properties, Inc. approved the 2021 Plan and, in connection with the effectiveness of the 2021
Plan, no further awards will be made under the 2012 Plan. As of May&nbsp;20, 2021, there were 3,673,884 shares of Common Stock that were authorized to be awarded by Boston Properties, Inc. under the 2012 Plan but that, as of May&nbsp;20, 2021, were
not issued or subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2012 Plan. Accordingly, as a result of the approval of the 2021 Plan, these 3,673,884 shares of Common Stock are no longer available for new awards under the 2012 Plan and will instead be
available for new awards under the 2021 Plan (the &#147;Unissued Prior Plan Shares&#148;). Under the terms of the 2021 Plan, Boston Properties, Inc. may issue up to 5,388,022 shares of Common Stock, which includes the Unissued Prior Plan Shares and
excludes the 11,978 shares of Common Stock underlying awards issued under the 2012 Plan between March&nbsp;4, 2021 and May&nbsp;20, 2021. In addition, there were 1,338,283 shares of Common Stock subject to unvested awards granted under the 2012 Plan
that were outstanding as of May&nbsp;20, 2021, that, if forfeited, cancelled or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise), including any shares previously reserved for issuance pursuant to an award to the extent that such shares are not issued
and are no longer issuable pursuant to such an award (<I>e.g.</I>, in the event that a full-value award that may be settled in cash or by issuance of shares of Common Stock is settled in cash), will become eligible for issuance under the 2021 Plan

Properties, Inc. shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended. This provision does not alter a director&#146;s liability under the federal securities laws. In addition, this

officers, employees or agents and expressly provides that the indemnification provided for under the Delaware General Corporation Law shall not be deemed exclusive of any indemnification right under any
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-law,</FONT> agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Delaware General Corporation Law permits indemnification against expenses and certain other liabilities arising out of
legal actions brought or threatened against these persons for their conduct on behalf of a corporation, provided that each such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed was in or not opposed to the
corporation&#146;s best interests and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, provided each person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The Delaware General Corporation Law does not allow indemnification of directors in
the case of an action by or in the right of a corporation unless the directors successfully defend the action or indemnification is ordered by the court. </P>

the future be amended, against all expenses and liabilities actually and reasonably incurred in connection with service for or on behalf of our company. The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-laws</FONT> of Boston Properties, Inc. also provide that

not permitted. Under these agreements, Boston Properties, Inc. and Boston Properties Limited Partnership must also indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by the directors and officers of Boston Properties, Inc. seeking to enforce their rights
under the indemnification agreements and may cover the directors and officers of Boston Properties, Inc. under their directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance. Although the form of indemnification agreement offers substantially the same
scope of coverage afforded by law, it provides greater assurance to the directors and officers of Boston Properties, Inc. that indemnification will be available, because, as a contract, it cannot be modified unilaterally in the future by the Board
of Directors or stockholders to eliminate the rights it provides. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The limited partnership agreement of Boston Properties Limited

liabilities incurred as a result of errors in judgment or of any act or omission if Boston Properties, Inc. acted in good faith. In addition, Boston Properties, Inc. is not responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of its agents,
provided Boston Properties, Inc. appointed such agents in good faith. Boston Properties, Inc. may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisors, and any act taken
or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such persons, as to matters that Boston Properties, Inc. reasonably believes to be within their professional or expert competence, shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in
good faith and in accordance with such opinion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The limited partnership agreement of Boston Properties Limited Partnership also provides

Properties Limited Partnership in which such indemnified person is involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is established that: (1)&nbsp;the act or omission of the indemnified person was material to the matter
giving rise to the preceding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (2)&nbsp;the indemnified person actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (3)&nbsp;in
the case of any criminal proceeding, the indemnified person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Under the limited partnership agreement, Boston Properties Limited Partnership generally must also advance all
reasonable expenses incurred by an indemnified person who is a party to proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding. </P>
