On September 1, 2009, The Hamilton Company, Inc. ("Hamilton"), a full service real estate management company that performs management services for the New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), entered into a purchase and sale and escrow agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with 175 Freeman Street Investors LLC to acquire the Dexter Park Apartments, a 409 unit apartment building located at 175 Freeman Street, Brookline, Massachusetts (the "Acquired Property"), for a purchase price of $129.5 million in cash. In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, Hamilton paid a non-refundable deposit in the amount of $5 million, including $2.5 million funded by the Partnership.

On October 28, 2009, the Joint Venture completed the acquisition of the Acquired Property. In connection with the acquisition of the Acquired Property, the Partnership formed HPT Associates, LLC (the "Joint Venture"), a joint venture between the Partnership and HBC Holdings, LLC ("HBC"), a limited liability company managed and indirectly beneficially owned through several entities by Harold Brown, the treasurer and a director of NewReal, Inc., the general partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner"). The Partnership owns a 40 percent non-controlling equity interest in the Joint Venture and HBC owns a 60 percent equity interest in the Joint Venture. After the completion of the acquisition of the Acquired Property, the Joint Venture owns 100% of the outstanding equity interests in Hamilton Park Towers, LLC ("Hamilton Park") and Hamilton Park is the direct owner of the Acquired Property. Mr. Brown and the General Partner are the managers of both the Joint Venture and Hamilton Park.

In connection with the formation of the Joint Venture and the acquisition of the Acquired Property, the following capital was contributed to the Joint Venture:

1. A cash contribution from the Partnership of approximately $17.4 million, including approximately $7.8 million loaned to the Partnership by HBC (the "HBC Loan");

2. $89.9 million from a mortgage financing obtained by Hamilton Park from Wachovia Multifamily Capital, Inc. (the "Wachovia Loan") and secured by the Acquired Property and entered into simultaneously with the acquisition of the Acquired Property; and

3. A cash contribution from HBC of approximately $23.7 million.

The funds from these cash contributions were the source of the funds used by the Joint Venture to pay the $129.5 million purchase price for the Acquired Property. The HBC Loan has a term of four years, bears interest at a rate of 6.0 percent per annum, may be called by HBC at any time with six months written notice to the Partnership, and is secured by the Partnership's 99 percent ownership interest in Boylston Downtown Limited Partnership. The Wachovia Loan has a term of ten years, bears interest at a rate of 5.57 percent per annum, provides for interest only payments for the first two years, and may be prepaid at any time subject to a prepayment penalty.
