<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As previously reported in a Current Report on Form&nbsp;8-K
dated May&nbsp;9, 2008, or the May&nbsp;9 Current Report, filed by Senior
Housing Properties Trust, or us or we, with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, we agreed to purchase up to 48 medical office, clinic and biotech
laboratory buildings, or MOBs, from HRPT Properties Trust, or HRPT, pursuant to
a series of Purchase and Sale Agreements, or the Purchase Agreements, dated as
of May&nbsp;5, 2008.&#160; The agreements to
purchase these 48 MOBs were more fully described in the May&nbsp;9 Current
Report.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As of
the date of this report, we have closed on the purchase of 37 of these MOBs,
including 8 MOBs located in Maryland, Massachusetts, Florida, Virginia and the
District of Columbia, the closing of the purchases of which we and HRPT,
pursuant to the terms of the applicable Purchase Agreements, accelerated to December&nbsp;22,
2008.&#160; These 37 MOBs were purchased for
purchase prices aggregating approximately $346.8 million, excluding closing
costs.&#160; We and HRPT agreed to accelerate
the closing of the purchase of one of the remaining 11 MOBs, which is located
in New York and has a purchase price of approximately $19.9 million, excluding
closing costs, to January&nbsp;2009.&#160; In
addition, because a third party consent was not received, one of the Purchase
Agreements was amended so that one of the remaining MOBs, with a purchase price
of approximately $3.0 million, excluding closing costs, is no longer subject to
the Purchase Agreement.&#160; Nonetheless,
HRPT may receive such consent and we may ultimately purchase such MOB.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On December&nbsp;23, 2008, we entered into
amendments to the Purchase Agreements with respect to nine of the remaining
MOBs, which have purchase prices aggregating approximately $195.3 million,
excluding closing costs, located in California, Oklahoma, Virginia and the
District of Columbia.&#160; Under the terms of
these amendments, we and HRPT agreed to delay the closings of the purchases of
these nine MOBs from dates ranging from December&nbsp;2008 through April&nbsp;2009
to new dates ranging from January&nbsp;2010 through May&nbsp;2010.&#160; The amendments also (1)&nbsp;eliminated the
right of either party to accelerate the closing dates of these MOBs unless the
parties mutually consent otherwise; (2)&nbsp;extended HRPT&#146;s obligation to
provide us with capital expenditure budgets into 2010 and (3)&nbsp;changed the
allocation at the closing of each of these purchases of certain leasing
expenses and capital expenditures to be based upon our and HRPT&#146;s respective
periods of ownership, rather than being allocated to us from and after May&nbsp;5,
2008.</font></p>
