The Resident is and at all times shall remain a stockholder in the cooperative, and has the true intention to reside in a unit of the Development.

The Development is operated by the Board of Directors of the Cooperative, which is elected by Cooperative members according to the Corporation's By-laws. The Board delegates substantial responsibility for day to day operations to the Management Company.

A. MONTHLY CARRYING CHARGE:

If the term of the Agreement includes a partial month, the Resident shall pay a pro rata portion of the Carrying Charge for that month.

B. CARRYING COST ADJUSTMENTS:

The amount of the Carrying Charge due under this Agreement may be changed at any time during the term hereof, or any extension or renewal, upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Resident, based upon any of the following reasons:

(b) by reason of the exclusion of a utility cost previously included as part of Resident's Carrying Charge.

(c) any change in the Resident's adjusted household income.

If there is such a change in the Carrying Charge, Resident may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Management within thirty (30) days of when the change notice is sent. If Resident sends that termination notice to Management, Resident will not be bound by the change. Such termination shall be effective sixty (60) days after the date that the change was to become effective. Such termination shall be subject to provisions of Section C of this Agreement, except that a Resident terminating under this Section B shall not be required to pay the increased portion of the Carrying Charge.

Notwithstanding the above, if at any point, including when the Resident is no longer living in the Development, the Corporation determines that the Carrying Charge stated above was computed based on incorrect or incomplete information, whether provided by the Resident or by any other party, the Corporation may adjust the Carrying Charge effective immediately and retroactive to the date of this agreement to an amount computed based on the Corporation's more recent information. The Corporation will notify the Resident in writing of the adjustment, and the Resident will be bound by the Corporation's adjustment, without any right to maintain the original Carrying Charge.

Unless terminated as provided in Section B, Resident may terminate this Agreement at any time by (a) giving sixty (60) days prior written notice to Management, and (b) complying with the provisions of this Section and Article 5 of the Articles of Organization. The Resident shall be liable for the Carrying Charge until the earlier of:

a. shares of stock with respect to the unit have been transferred in accordance with Article 5 of the Articles of Organization, or

b. until the end of the sixty-day notice period.

a. endorse the Resident's stock certificate for transfer in blank;

b. pay all the amounts due under this Agreement up to the termination date; and

c. vacate and return the unit to Management in as good condition as when received, normal wear and tear excepted.

Until all the steps stated above are completed, the Resident will still be liable for the costs of the unit, including the Carrying Charge. The Resident must comply with all provisions of the Bylaws and Articles of Organization with respect to the requirements of transfer of stock and limitation of compensation to the Resident for such transfer.

If Resident is not currently occupying the Apartment, and if Management, because of conditions beyond its control, is not able to deliver the apartment to Resident within thirty (30) days from the time called for herein, either party has the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party, in which case there shall be refunded forthwith to Resident any payment made hereunder, and this Agreement shall thereupon terminate without any liability by either party to the other.

D. INSPECTION:

Management and Resident, within ten (10) days after commencement of tenancy, shall inspect the dwelling unit as to its present condition. The Resident, by signing the inspection form, Attachment 1, admits that the leased premises have been inspected by him/her, meet with his/her approval, and that except as otherwise noted on the Inspection Form, the apartment is ready for occupancy, and that Management will not be required to paint, plaster or otherwise perform any other work, labor or service prior to occupancy by Resident. Resident acknowledges that the apartment is in a good livable condition, and agrees at the end of the occupancy hereunder to deliver up and surrender the apartment to Management in the same condition as when received, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

Copies of these documents, if any, are available to be inspected at the Management office.

If the whole or any substantial part of the leased premises shall during the term of this Agreement or any extension hereof be destroyed by fire or other disaster not caused by Resident or any Resident invitee, family or agent, then:

a. If either Management or Resident chooses, this Agreement shall terminate by written notice to the other party. In such event, the Cooperative will determine the amount to be paid to the Resident to redeem the Resident's stock in the Cooperative according to the Bylaws of the Cooperative, but in no case may the consideration paid to the Resident be greater than the Transfer Price as defined in the Bylaws; or

b. If neither party terminates this Agreement then a just portion of the Carrying Charge shall be abated until the premises are restored and suitable for occupation.

Notices of termination under this section shall cause this Agreement to terminate on the last day of the month in which the notice is given.

Owner and Management may, with, in the case of rental subsidy recipients, the prior written approval of the subsidizing agency, modify the terms and conditions of the Agreement by serving an appropriate notice on the Resident together with the offer of a revised Agreement or an addendum revising the existing Agreement. Resident within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice must either accept the modified terms and conditions by executing such revised Agreement or addendum or terminate the tenancy by giving Management written notice in accordance with the Agreement that the Resident intends to terminate the tenancy. Such termination shall be effective sixty (60) days after the date upon which the modification was to become effective as stated in the modification notice. Failure of Resident to execute the modification or to offer to terminate the tenancy shall be grounds for eviction.

This Agreement and its Attachments, and the Articles of Organization, Bylaws, and Subscription Agreement of the Cooperative make up the entire agreement between the parties regarding the occupancy of the unit. No representations other than those contained in such documents will be binding on Management, the Owner or the Cooperative. If any provision of such documents or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder thereof (or the remainder of such provision) and the application hereof to other persons or circumstances shall not be effected hereby.

Notices required by this Agreement shall be deemed to be properly given:

a. to Management and/or Owner if mailed by registered or certified mail to the Management Agent at the address indicated in Paragraph L below or at such other address as Management may designate in writing, or by delivery in hand to the Property Manager of the Development but not by delivery to any resident superintendent, maintenance, or other personnel;

This Agreement is subordinate to any mortgage or related agreement now in existence or hereafter granted, by owner and its successors and assigns. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency, the provisions and conditions of said mortgages, agreements, contracts, statutes, rules and regulation and amendments thereto shall take precedence over this Agreement.

The Resident hereby authorizes the Owner to be the Resident's irrevocable attorney-in-fact to sign any documents to subordinate this Agreement to any future mortgage, deed of trust or other related instrument.

The waiver of any breach of a term, condition, promise or obligation of this Agreement by any party shall not be considered to be a waiver of any other term, condition, promise or obligation, or of any subsequent breach thereof.

Maintenance service is available for routine matters between a.m. and p.m. Monday through Friday and for emergencies at all times. To obtain service, call or stop by the Office, and state your name, apartment number, and nature of your call. Your request will constitute your permission to allow management to enter your apartment to complete the work. A notice will be left after entry.

Complaints regarding the service of the building and grounds or regarding actions of other residents shall be made in writing to the Management Office. If such a complaint is not resolved to the satisfaction of either party, that party may follow the Grievance Procedure described in the Occupancy Agreement.

You must make your own arrangements with Boston Edison Company for electric service to your apartment. Boston Edison will bill you directly for the electricity you use as shown on the meter for your apartment. You must call Boston Edison and request that service be put in your name effective on the day your tenancy begins. All replacement light bulbs for the interior of your apartment will be furnished by you, except that fluorescent bulbs may be replaced by management for the cost of the bulb. Before reporting electrical failures, be sure the circuit breakers in your apartment are on reset. The circuit breakers are in the kitchen in the studio apartments and in the hallway leading to the bedroom in the one-bedroom units.

You must make your own arrangements with the telephone company if you desire telephone service. Extensions are permitted if the wires can be run without drilling through or nailing into floors, walls, or ceilings.

There is a master television antenna connection in the living room of each apartment. Building management will supply coaxial cable to connect the outlet to your set.

Mail service is provided directly to your mailbox. You must include your apartment number and zip code (02115) on your return address.

Our alarm system is connected to the city fire department's central system. Battery operated smoke detectors are located in the ceiling at the entrance of the bedroom(s). Contact the management office if the detector beeps continuously, for this indicates that the battery needs to be replaced.

Your apartment is heated by a central plant, which provides a forced circulation of hot water through convectors in each room of your apartment. This plant also provides domestic hot water. To receive the maximum heat, keep the fronts of the convectors free and unobstructed by furniture, drapes, curtains (regardless of how thin), and the like. Before calling building maintenance regarding lack of heat, be sure that all your convectors are opened and that all your windows are closed by locking the handle.

In using the kitchen sink garbage disposal, keep a strong flow of cold running water. Do not allow waste to remain in the disposal. Do NOT use chemical or solvent drain compounds in your disposal. Do not put your hand into the disposal. The unit may be turned on by the switch on the wall above your sink. If you overload the unit, the motor will automatically turn itself off. It may be reset as follows:

(a) If necessary, remove foreign objects with ice tongs or such. Do NOT insert your hand or fingers into the disposal.

(b) Run cold water again.

(c) Push reset button on motor under sink.

(d) Turn on the operating switch again.
