Neither Boston Properties, Inc. nor BPLP will receive any of the proceeds from the resale of the Registrable Securities.

The Registration Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2007. Boston Properties, Inc. and BPLP anticipate the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC on or about April 18, 2007. In accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, holders of the Registrable Securities that wish to use the Registration Statement to sell Registrable Securities must prepare and deliver to Boston Properties, Inc. a Revised and Updated Questionnaire on or before April 4, 2007.
