Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     (i)      Overview.

          On January 5, 2006, we completed our acquisition of Prentiss Properties Trust (“Prentiss”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of October 3, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”) that we attached as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 4, 2005. In conjunction with the consummation of the mergers (collectively, the “Merger”) through which we acquired Prentiss, designees of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”) acquired those properties of Prentiss that we identified in our October 4 Current Report as the “Prudential Properties.” See Item 2.01 below for additional information.

     (ii)      Loan Agreement.

          On January 5, 2006, we, together with Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (“Brandywine Operating Partnership”), the subsidiary through which we own our assets and conduct our business, entered into a term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) that provides for an unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”) in the amount of $750 million. We used proceeds of the Term Loan, together with other sources of funds, to fund a portion of the cash consideration payable in our acquisition of Prentiss pursuant to the Merger Agreement and to fund the repayment of certain indebtedness of Prentiss and its subsidiaries.

          The Term Loan matures on January 4, 2007. There is no scheduled principal amortization of the Term Loan. The Term Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to net proceeds of equity or debt securities that we may hereafter issue in the public or private capital markets.

          The Term Loan bears interest at a per annum floating rate equal to: (i) the higher of (x) the prime rate or (y) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, plus, in either case, 0.25% or (ii) a Eurodollar rate that is the rate at which Eurodollar deposits for one, two or three months are offered plus between 1.00% and 1.35%, depending on our debt rating. We also have agreed to pay a facility fee of 0.15% on the amount of the Term Loan which remains outstanding on the 90 th day after the funding date of the Term Loan, an additional 0.25% on the amount of the Term Loan which remains outstanding on the 180 th day after the initial funding date of the Term Loan, and an additional 0.25% on the amount of the Term Loan which remains outstanding on the 270 th day after the funding date of the Term Loan.

          The Term Loan Agreement contains financial and operating covenants. Financial covenants include minimum net worth, minimum interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, maximum leverage ratio, restrictions on unsecured and secured debt as a percentage of unencumbered assets, and other financial tests. Operating covenants include limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens on assets, enter into affiliate transactions, pay dividends, make acquisitions and investments and construct or develop new properties.

In addition, if any payments made to Mr. Prentiss in connection with the Merger would result in an excise tax imposed by either Section 4999 or Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, he would be entitled to receive from us a tax reimbursement payment that would put him in the same financial position after-tax that he would have been in if the excise tax did not apply to such amount.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

          On January 5, 2006, we consummated the Merger and related transactions, including the disposition of properties to designees of Prudential pursuant to the Master Agreement dated as of October 3, 2005 that we entered into with Prudential. As part of these transactions, assignees of Prudential acquired Prentiss properties that contain an aggregate of approximately 4.32 million net rentable square feet for total consideration of approximately $747.7 million.

          Through our acquisition of Prentiss, and after giving effect to the Prudential acquisition, we acquired a portfolio of 60 office properties that contain an aggregate of 11.8 million net rentable square feet. Our total portfolio is comprised of 281 office properties and 24 industrial and mixed-use properties that contain an aggregate of 30.2 million net rentable square feet.

          In the Merger, each then outstanding Prentiss common share (a “Prentiss Common Share”) was converted into the right to receive 0.69 of a Brandywine common share (a “Brandywine Common Share”) and $21.50 in cash (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) except that 497,884 Prentiss Common Shares held in the Prentiss Deferred Compensation Plan converted solely into 720,737 Brandywine Common Shares. We will pay cash instead of fractional shares. In addition, each then outstanding unit of a limited partnership interest in Prentiss OP (“Prentiss OP Units”) was, at the option of the holder, converted into Prentiss Common Shares with the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration or 1.3799 Class A Units of Brandywine Operating Partnership (“Brandywine Class A Units”). Accordingly, based on 49,375,723 Prentiss Common Shares outstanding at the effective time of the Merger, we issued 34,446,446 Brandywine Common Shares and paid an aggregate of approximately $1.05 billion in cash for the accounts of the former Prentiss shareholders. Based on 1,572,612 Prentiss OP Units outstanding at the effective time of the Merger, we issued 2,170,047 Brandywine Class A Units. In addition, options issued by Prentiss that were exercisable for an aggregate of 342,662 Prentiss Common Shares were converted into options exercisable for an aggregate of 496,037 Brandywine Common Shares at a weighted average exercise price of $22.00 per share.

          On October 3, 2005, in conjunction with the Merger transaction, we and Prentiss entered into separate agreements with Prudential that provided for the acquisition by designees of Prudential of Prentiss properties that contain approximately 4.32 million net rentable square feet (which we refer to as the “Prudential Properties”). We included a list of the Prudential Properties in our Current Report that we filed with the SEC on October 4, 2005. Our agreements provided for Prudential designees to acquire the Prudential Properties on either the day prior to, or the day of, the closing of the merger, depending on whether we received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service confirming certain tax matters related to the merger transaction. Because we received the requested private letter ruling, Prudential designees acquired the Prudential Properties immediately following completion of the Merger.

          At the closing, we funded the transaction consideration provided for in the Merger Agreement as follows: (i) approximately $1.7 billion through a combination of cash payments and assumption of mortgage debt secured by Prentiss properties, (ii) through the issuance of 34,446,446 Brandywine common shares and (iii) through issuance of 2,170,047 Brandywine Class A Units. The Brandywine Class A Units are subject to redemption at the option of the holder. At our option, we may satisfy the redemption either for an amount, per unit, of cash equal to the then market price of one Brandywine common share (based on the prior ten-trading day average) or for one Brandywine common share.

-5-


 

          The Brandywine Class A Units issued in the transaction were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered and sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration. We have agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of Brandywine common shares issuable upon the redemption of Brandywine Class A Units.

          See the description of the Term Loan Agreement under Item 1.01 above that provided a portion of the financing for the Merger. Our Current Report filed with the SEC on October 4, 2005 identified three financing commitments that we had received. One of these commitments was for the Term Loan Agreement and another commitment was for the revolving credit agreement that we entered into on December 22, 2005 and attached as an exhibit to our Current Report filed with the SEC on December 23, 2005. We elected not to enter into an interim term loan pursuant to the third financing commitment that we identified in our Current Report filed on October 4, 2005.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

          In the Merger we indirectly assumed obligations under approximately $647.4 million of indebtedness of Prentiss. Such indebtedness is represented by the loans in the table below.

SECTION 2.

LOAN FACILITY

2.1 LOANS.

(a) Commitment to Lend. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, each Lender hereby severally and not jointly agrees to make a term loan in Dollars (the "TERM LOAN" and collectively, the "TERM LOANS") to the Borrowers on the Funding Date, in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of $750,000,000. The aggregate amount of the Loans to be made hereunder shall not exceed $750,000,000. The Loans shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their then respective Pro Rata Share, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make a Loan hereunder nor shall the Loans of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any such failure. The Term Loan Commitments shall expire on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Loans are made and (ii) January 30, 2006.

(b) Method of Borrowing for Loans. By no later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the Funding Date, the Borrowers shall submit an irrevocable written Notice of Borrowing in the form of Exhibit 2.1(b) to the Administrative Agent setting forth (i) the amount requested, (ii) whether such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, (iii) with respect to Loans that will be Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) a certification that the Borrowers have complied in all respects with Section 5.1 and
Section 5.2 and (v) the proposed Funding Date.

26

(c) Funding of Loans. Upon receipt of the Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly inform the Lenders as to the terms thereof. Each Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the total requested Loans available to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. on the Funding Date specified in the Notice of Borrowing by deposit, in Dollars, of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at its principal office in New York City, New York or at such other address as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing. The amount of the requested Loans will then be made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the Borrowers on the books of such office of the Administrative Agent, to the extent the amount of the requested Loans are made available to the Administrative Agent.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure or delay by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the Funding Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Loans to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the Funding Date, and the Administrative Agent in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion but without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be able to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrowers, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrowers at the applicable rate for such Loan pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing and (ii) from such Lender at the Federal Funds Rate.

(d) Continuations and Conversions. The Borrowers shall have the option with respect to any Loan, on any Business Day, to continue existing Eurodollar Loans for a subsequent Interest Period, to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, or to convert Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that (i) each such continuation or conversion must be requested by the Borrowers pursuant to a written Notice of Continuation/Conversion, in the form of Exhibit 2.1(d), in compliance with the terms set forth below, (ii) except as provided in Section 3.11, Eurodollar Loans may only be continued or converted on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
(iii) Eurodollar Loans may not be continued nor may Base Rate Loans be converted into Eurodollar Loans during the existence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default and (iv) any request to continue a

27

Eurodollar Loan that fails to comply with the terms hereof or any failure to request a continuation of a Eurodollar Loan at the end of an Interest Period shall result in a conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Each continuation or conversion must be requested by the Borrowers no later than 11:00 a.m. (A) one Business Day prior to the date for a requested conversion of a Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan or (B) three Business Days prior to the date for a requested continuation of a Eurodollar Loan or conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan, in each case pursuant to a written Notice of Continuation/Conversion submitted to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each of the Lenders) which shall set forth (x) whether the Borrowers wish to continue or convert such Loans and (y) if the request is to continue a Eurodollar Loan or convert a Loan to a Eurodollar Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(e) Minimum Amounts/Restrictions on Loans. Each request for a conversion or continuation of a Loan shall be subject to the requirements that (i) each Eurodollar Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) no more than eight Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding at any one time. For the purposes of this Section 2.1(e), all Eurodollar Loans with the same Interest Periods beginning on the same date shall be considered as one Eurodollar Loan, but Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods, even if they begin or end on the same date, shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans.

(f) Notes. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note of the Borrowers to each Lender in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.1(f).

2.2 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF THE BORROWERS.

(a) Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Lenders under this Loan Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.

(b) Each of the Borrowers jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrower with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations arising under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them.

28

(c) If and to the extent that either of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrower will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. Each Borrower further agrees that it shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the other Borrower for amounts so paid under this Credit Agreement until such time as the Lenders have been paid in full and all Commitments under this Credit Agreement have been terminated.

(d) The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.2 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability and of all extensions of credit to the Borrowers by the Lenders, notice of occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Loan Agreement), or of any presentment or demand for any payment under this Loan Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under or in respect of any of the obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Loan Agreement and the benefit of any laws that exonerate or limit the liability of co-borrowers or sureties and any defenses provided by those laws. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by either Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Loan Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in respect of any of the obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of either Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.2, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.2, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of

29

the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.2 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.2 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to either Borrower or a Lender. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of either Borrower or any of the Lenders.

(f) The provisions of this Section 2.2 are made for the benefit of the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and may be enforced by them from time to time against either of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Lenders first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against the other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it against the other Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall remain in effect until all the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lenders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.2 will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of either Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code).

All payments of principal, interest, fees, expenses and other amounts to be made by a Borrower under this Loan Agreement shall be made by such Borrower unconditionally and without deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff and received not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date when due, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at its offices in New York City, New York.

The Administrative Agent will distribute any such payment to the Lenders on the day received if such payment is received prior to 2:00 p.m.; otherwise the Administrative Agent will distribute such payment to the Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (subject to accrual of interest and fees for the period of such extension), except that in the case of Eurodollar Loans, if the extension would cause the payment to be made in the next following calendar month, then such payment shall instead be made on the next preceding Business Day.

Amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) may not be reborrowed.

Interest shall accrue from and include the date of borrowing (or continuation or conversion) but exclude the date of payment.

(b) It is the intent of the Lenders and the Borrowers to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect.

In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or received under this Loan Agreement, under the Notes or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any possible construction of any of the Loan Documents or any other document, interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph and such interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under applicable law, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If any Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest on the Loans under applicable law and which would, apart from this provision, be in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Loans and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to the Borrowers or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal amount of the Loans. The right to demand payment of the Loans or any other indebtedness evidenced by any of the Loan Documents does not include the right to receive any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such demand, and the Lenders do not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of such demand. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders with respect to the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of the Loans so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law.

34

3.7 PRO RATA TREATMENT.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, the Loans, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Loan, each payment of fees (other than administrative fees payable pursuant to Section 3.4, and each conversion or continuation of any Loan, shall (except as otherwise provided in Section 3.11) be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to each Lender's Pro Rata Share; provided that, if any Lender shall have failed to pay its applicable Pro Rata Share of any Loan, then any amount to which such Lender would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall instead be payable to the Administrative Agent until the share of such Loan not funded by such Lender has been repaid; provided further, that in the event any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.7 is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so paid to such Lender, with interest for the period commencing on the date such payment is returned by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent receives such repayment at a rate per annum equal to, during the period to but excluding the date two Business Days after such request, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter, at the Base Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum.

3.8 SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

The Lenders agree among themselves that, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Loan Agreement through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means (other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 3.15 or Section 11.3, in excess of its pro rata share of such payment as provided for in this Loan Agreement, such Lender shall promptly pay in cash or purchase from the other Lenders a participation in such Loans and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Loan Agreement. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by payment in cash or a repurchase of a participation theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Loan or other obligation in the amount of such participation.

35

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Loan Agreement, if any Lender shall fail to remit to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender an amount payable by such Lender to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender pursuant to this Loan Agreement on the date when such amount is due, such payments shall be made together with interest thereon for each date from the date such amount is due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 3.8 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 3.8 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

3.9 CAPITAL ADEQUACY.

If, after the date hereof, any Lender has determined that the adoption or the becoming effective of, or any change in, or any change by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof in the interpretation or administration of, any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or compliance by such Lender, or its parent corporation, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's (or parent corporation's) capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender, or its parent corporation, could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's (or parent corporation's) policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from such Lender to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or parent corporation) on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such reduction. Each determination by any such Lender of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

36

3.10 INABILITY TO DETERMINE INTEREST RATE.

If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter, and will also give prompt written notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders when such conditions no longer exist. If such notice is given (a) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans and (b) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurodollar Loans shall be converted to or continued as Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrowers have the right to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

3.11 ILLEGALITY.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Loan Agreement, (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be promptly withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert a Base Rate Loan to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make a Base Rate Loan when a Eurodollar Loan is requested and (c) such Lender's Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.14; provided that no such payments shall be required if the conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs within 30 days of the last day of the Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan.

3.12 REQUIREMENTS OF LAW.

If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender):

37

(a) shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Eurodollar Loans made by it or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 3.13 (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed solely by reason of any failure of such Lender to comply with its obligations (if any) under Section 3.13(b)) and changes in taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income, or franchise tax (imposed in lieu of such net income tax), of such Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any Affiliate thereof);

(b) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(c) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (excluding any tax of any kind whatsoever);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrowers from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrowers shall be obligated to promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified) for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable, provided that, in any such case, the Borrowers may elect to convert the Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender hereunder to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day's notice of such election, in which case the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.14. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.12, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this
Section 3.12 has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.12 submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrowers shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

38

3.13 TAXES.

(a) Except as provided below in this Section 3.13, all payments made by the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any court, or governmental body, agency or other official, excluding taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income of any Lender or its applicable lending office, or any branch or Affiliate thereof, and all franchise taxes, branch taxes, taxes on doing business or taxes on the overall capital or net worth of any Lender or its applicable lending office, or any branch or Affiliate thereof, in each case imposed in lieu of net income taxes: (i) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender, applicable lending office, branch or Affiliate is organized or is located, or in which its principal executive office is located, or any nation within which such jurisdiction is located or any political subdivision thereof; or (ii) by reason of any connection between the jurisdiction imposing such tax and such Lender, applicable lending office, branch or Affiliate other than a connection arising solely from such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations, or received payment under or enforced, this Loan Agreement or any Notes. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings ("NON-EXCLUDED TAXES") are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Notes, (A) the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest on any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Loan Agreement and any Notes, provided, however, that the Borrowers shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any Non-Excluded Taxes and shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof if such Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of this Section 3.13 whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrowers, and (B) as promptly as possible after request therefor the Borrowers shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrowers showing payment thereof. If the Borrowers fail to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and any Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

39

(b) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall:

(i) (A) on or before the date of any payment by the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement or Notes to such Lender, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (x) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W8-BEN or W8-ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to receive payments under this Loan Agreement and any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (y) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax;

(B) deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrowers; and

(C) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent; or

(ii) in the case of any such Lender that is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, such Lender shall (A) represent to the Borrowers (for the benefit of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) that it is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) furnish to the Borrowers, on or before the date of any payment by the Borrowers, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, or successor applicable form certifying to such Lender's legal entitlement at the date of such certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to payments to be made under this Loan Agreement and any Notes (and to deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two further copies of such form on or before the date it expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most

40

recently provided form and, if necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms), and (C) agree, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Borrowers, to provide to the Borrowers (for the benefit of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Loan Agreement and any Notes.

Notwithstanding the above, if any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent then such Lender shall be exempt from such requirements. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a participant of a Lender pursuant to Section 11.3 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, and if applicable, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements required pursuant to this subsection (b); provided that in the case of a participant of a Lender, the obligations of such participant of a Lender pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be determined as if such participant of a Lender were a Lender except that such participant of a Lender shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

3.14 COMPENSATION.

Except as expressly set forth in Section 3.3(c), the Borrowers promise to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrowers in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrowers have given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement, (b) default by the Borrowers in making any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan after the Borrowers have given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement and (c) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent and shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Loans provided for herein minus (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on

41

such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. The agreements in this Section 3.14 shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan made hereunder (as a result of a mandatory requirement of this Loan Agreement) within thirty (30) days of the end of the Interest Period with respect to such Eurodollar Loan, shall not be subject to this Section 3.14.

3.15 MITIGATION; MANDATORY ASSIGNMENT.

Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or mitigate any increased cost or suspension of the availability of an interest rate under Sections 3.9 through 3.14 inclusive to the greatest extent practicable (including transferring the Loans to another lending office or one of its Affiliates) unless, in the opinion of such Lender, such efforts would be likely to have an adverse effect upon it. In the event a Lender makes a request to the Borrowers for additional payments in accordance with Sections 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 or 3.14 or a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, the Borrowers may, at their own expense (such expense to include any transfer fee payable to the Administrative Agent under Section 11.3(b) and any expense pursuant to Section 3.14), and in their sole discretion, require such Lender to transfer and assign in whole (but not in part), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.3(b)), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement to an Eligible Assignee which shall assume such assigned obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (a) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority and (b) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the assigning Lender in immediately available funds the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the portion of the Loans hereunder held by such assigning Lender and all other amounts owed to such assigning Lender hereunder, including amounts owed pursuant to Sections 3.9 through 3.14. Notwithstanding such assignment, and without limiting any other provision of this Loan Agreement, such assigning Lender shall continue to benefit from the provisions of Sections 3.9, 3.12, 3.13 and 11.5 with respect to the period before the effectiveness of such assignment.

At any time a Subsidiary of the Borrowers that is not a Loan Party becomes the owner (or ground lessee under an Eligible Ground Lease) of Property that the Borrowers determine to treat as an Unencumbered Property, Unencumbered Eligible Land or Unencumbered Construction-in-Process and is not an Eligible Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent and promptly thereafter (but in any event within 30 days after such event) such Subsidiary shall: (a) execute a Guaranty in substantially the form of Exhibit 7.12 and (b) deliver such other documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing, including, without limitation, information regarding the real property owned by such Person, certified resolutions and other organizational and authorizing documents of such Person and favorable opinions of counsel to such Person (which shall cover, among other things, the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the documentation referred to above), all in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

"INTEREST RATE HEDGES" shall mean interest rate exchange, collar, cap, swap, adjustable strike cap, adjustable strike corridor or similar agreements having terms, conditions and tenors that are reasonably customary for borrowers such as the Borrowers and entered into by the Borrowers in order to provide protection to, or minimize the impact upon, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries of increasing floating rates of interest applicable to the Funded Debt.

FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans;

SIXTH, to all other Obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Loan Documents and not repaid pursuant to clauses "FIRST" through "FIFTH" above; and

SECTION 10.

AGENCY PROVISIONS

10.1 APPOINTMENT.

Each Lender hereby designates and appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent of such Lender to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents, and each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, as the agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

No Agent-Related Person is a trustee for the Lenders or owes any fiduciary duty to the Lenders.

72

10.4 RELIANCE ON COMMUNICATIONS.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care). The Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.3(b). The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Loan Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, to the extent provided in Section 11.6, all of the Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense (other than any liability or expense resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent) which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent-Related Persons shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically provided in Section 11.6, all the Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns).

10.5 NOTICE OF DEFAULT.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to the applicable Loan Document, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, to the extent provided in Section 11.6, all of the Lenders).

73

10.6 NON-RELIANCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent-Related Person hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower or its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Loan Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Loan Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent-Related Person shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

10.7 INDEMNIFICATION.

The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following payment in full of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent-Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity (except against its gross negligence or willful misconduct) is furnished. The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

74

10.8 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as though the Person serving as the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans made and all obligations owing to it, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Loan Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

10.9 SUCCESSOR AGENT.

The Administrative Agent (a) may, at any time, resign upon 20 days written notice to the Lenders or (b) may be removed for willful misconduct or gross negligence by written notice from the Required Lenders; provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. In the case of the Administrative Agent's resignation or removal, if no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 45 days after the notice of resignation or removal, then the retiring Administrative Agent shall select a successor Administrative Agent provided such successor is a Lender hereunder or an Eligible Assignee. If no such successor shall have been appointed by the Administrative Agent, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 45 days after such notice of resignation, such notice shall nevertheless become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, if any, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as the Administrative Agent, as appropriate, under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this
Section 10.9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Loan Agreement.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications shall have been duly given and shall be effective (a) when delivered, (b) when transmitted via telecopy (or other facsimile device), (c) the Business Day following the day on which the same has been delivered prepaid or on an invoice arrangement to a reputable national overnight air courier service, or (d) the third Business Day following the day on which the same is sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, in each case to the respective parties at the address or telecopy numbers set forth on Schedule 11.1, or at such other address or numbers as such party may specify by written notice to the other parties hereto.

11.2 RIGHT OF SET-OFF.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the commencement of remedies described in
Section 9.2, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of which rights being hereby expressly waived), to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, branches, agencies or Affiliates of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or its Subsidiaries against obligations and liabilities of such Borrower to the Lenders hereunder, under the Notes, the other Loan Documents or otherwise, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, and any such set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books of such Lender subsequent thereto. The Borrowers hereby agree that any Person purchasing a participation in the Loans hereunder pursuant to Section 11.3(c) or 3.8 may exercise all rights of set-off with respect to its participation interest as fully as if such Person were a Lender hereunder.

11.3 BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT.

(a) Generally. This Loan Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that none of the Borrowers may assign and transfer any of its interests, rights or obligations under any Loan Document (except as permitted by Sections 8.4 or 8.5) without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders (and any attempt at such assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void); and provided further that the rights of each Lender to

76

transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights and/or obligations hereunder shall be limited as set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 11.3. Notwithstanding the above (including anything set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 11.3), nothing herein shall restrict, prevent or prohibit any Lender from (A) pledging or assigning a security interest in its rights hereunder or under its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto, or (B) granting assignments or participations in such Lender's Loans hereunder to its parent company and/or to any Affiliate of such Lender or to any existing Lender or Affiliate thereof.

(b) Assignments. In addition to the assignments permitted by
Section 11.3(a), each Lender may, with the prior written consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder pursuant to an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 11.3 to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that (i) any such assignment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 of the Loans and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 above such amount (or the remaining amount of Loans held by such Lender) and
(ii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, not varying, percentage of all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under the Loans being assigned. Any assignment hereunder shall be effective upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth above and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a duly executed assignment agreement together with a transfer fee of $3,500 payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon the effectiveness of any such assignment, the assignee shall become a "Lender" for all purposes of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, to the extent of such assignment, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent of the Loans being assigned. The Borrowers agree that upon notice of any assignment to an assignee that was not theretofore a Lender, they will promptly provide to such assignee a new Note. Each Lender agrees that, in the event it assigns all of its Loans hereunder, it shall promptly return the Note or Note(s) executed by the Borrowers in its favor.

77

By executing and delivering an assignment agreement in accordance with this Section 11.3(b), the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and the assignee warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or the financial condition of any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (iii) such assigning Lender and such assignee each represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such assignment agreement; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such assignment agreement; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and
(vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) Participations. Each Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell, transfer or grant participations in all or any part of such Lender's interests and obligations hereunder; provided that (i) such selling Lender shall remain a "Lender" for all purposes under this Loan Agreement (such selling Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents remaining unchanged), the participant shall not constitute a Lender hereunder, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal with such selling Lender, and (ii) no such participant shall have, or be granted, rights to approve any amendment or waiver relating to this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents except to the extent any such amendment or waiver would (A) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on or fees in respect of any Loans in which the participant is participating, or (B) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal (including the extension of the final maturity of

78

any Loan or the date of any mandatory prepayment, other than pursuant to Section 3.5), interest or fees in which the participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents (the participant's rights against the selling Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the participation agreement with such Lender creating such participation) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; provided, however, that such participant shall be entitled to receive additional amounts under Sections 3.9, 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14 to the same extent that the Lender from which such participant acquired its participation would be entitled to the benefit of such cost protection provisions.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's office at the Agency Services Address a copy of each assignment agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Loan Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

11.4 NO WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

79

11.5 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION.

The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to: (a) pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of (i) each Agent-Related Person in connection with (A) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery, syndication and administration of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of Bingham McCutchen LLP, special counsel to the Administrative Agent) and (B) any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto and thereto including, but not limited to, any such amendments, waivers or consents resulting from or related to any work-out, renegotiation or restructure relating to the performance by the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement, and (ii) the Agent-Related Persons and the Lenders in connection with (A) enforcement of the Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein, including, without limitation, in connection with any such enforcement, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agent-Related Persons and each of the Lenders, and (B) any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (b) indemnify the Agent-Related Persons, each Lender and its officers, directors, employees, representatives, Affiliates and agents from and hold each of them harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any Agent-Related Person or any Lender is a party thereto) related to (i) the entering into and/or performance of any Loan Document or the use of proceeds of any Loans or the consummation of any other transactions contemplated in any Loan Document, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Person to be indemnified),
(ii) any Environmental Claim and (iii) any claims for Non-Excluded Taxes.

11.6 AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND CONSENTS.

Neither this Loan Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any of the terms hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing and signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrowers; provided that no such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination shall without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby:

(a) extend the final maturity of any Loan or any portion thereof or postpone any other date fixed for any payment of principal;

80

(b) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) thereon or fees hereunder;

(c) reduce or waive the principal amount of any Loan;

(d) change the Loans of a Lender from the amount thereof in effect, other than pursuant to an assignment permitted under Sections 3.5 or 11.3(b) (it being further understood and agreed that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or a waiver of any mandatory reduction in the Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Loans of any Lender);

(e) release either Borrower from its obligations, or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations, under the Loan Documents; provided that the Administrative Agent may release a Guarantor in accordance with Section 8.5 or in accordance with Section 11.19;

(f) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.6 or Section 9.1(a) or any provision of any Loan Document which, by its express terms, requires the consent, approval, agreement or satisfaction of all of the Lenders;

(g) reduce any percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of Required Lenders; or

(h) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under (or in respect of) the Loan Documents other than any assignment or transfer by a Guarantor permitted under this Loan Agreement.

If any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to the Loan Documents has been delivered in writing to a Lender by the Administrative Agent, and such amendment, waiver or consent requires only the approval of the Required Lenders to become effective, then such Lender shall have ten Business Days from the date of receipt of such amendment, waiver or consent to respond thereto. Failure of a Lender to timely respond to such amendment, waiver or consent shall be deemed an approval by such Lender of such amendment, waiver or consent.

No provision of Section 10 may be amended or modified without the consent of the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (y) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Loan Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

81

11.7 COUNTERPARTS/TELECOPY.

This Loan Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Loan Agreement.

11.9 DEFAULTING LENDER.

Each Lender understands and agrees that if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.6 it shall not be entitled to vote on any matter requiring the consent of the Required Lenders or to object to any matter requiring the consent of all the Lenders; provided, however, that all other benefits and obligations under the Loan Documents shall apply to such Defaulting Lender.

11.10 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNIFICATION AND REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Nothing herein shall affect the right of a Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or to otherwise proceed against a Borrower in any other jurisdiction. Each Borrower agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law; provided that nothing in this Section 11.11(a) is intended to impair a Borrower's right under applicable law to appeal or seek a stay of any judgment.

(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document in the courts referred to in subsection (a) hereof and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

EXHIBIT 10.4
2006 AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT

This 2006 Amended and Restated Agreement (this "Agreement") is effective as of January 5, 2006 (the "Effective Date") and is by and between Anthony A. Nichols, Sr. ("Nichols") and Brandywine Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the "Company"), and amends and restates in its entirety the Amended and Restated Agreement dated as of March 25, 2004 (the "Prior Agreement") between Nichols and the Company.

WHEREAS, Nichols and the Company entered into an Agreement effective as of December 31, 2001 (the "2001 Agreement");

WHEREAS, the 2001 Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety by the Prior Agreement;

WHEREAS, Nichols and the Company desire to amend and restate in its entirety the Prior Agreement as of the Effective Date;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Engagement. The Company confirms its engagement of Nichols as an employee pursuant to the Prior Agreement, and Nichols confirms his acceptance of such engagement by the Company, for the period and upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

2. Duties.

(a) During the Term (as defined below), Nichols shall be available to the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Board of Trustees (the "Board of Trustees") to provide: (i) assistance in the Company's integration activities with respect to the Prentiss Properties Trust organization, as and to the extent requested by, and subject to the direction of, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Board of Trustees, and (ii) consultation and advice for special research projects, business development initiatives and strategic planning, as and to the extent requested by, and subject to the direction of, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Board of Trustees (the assistance, consultation and advice provided by Nichols pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence are referred to below as the "Advisory Services"). In addition, during the Term, as and to the extent requested by and subject to the direction of, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Board of Trustees, Nichols shall represent the Company in regional business, community and charity functions. In the performance of his responsibilities for the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined below), Nichols shall not have the authority to bind the Company or its Subsidiaries to agreements or arrangements and shall not execute documents in the name of the Company or its Subsidiaries.


(b) Subject to applicable law, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts during the Term to cause Nichols to be nominated for election to the Board of Trustees at each annual meeting of shareholders of the Company during the Term. Upon the request of a majority of the Trustees, Nichols shall serve as a member of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees subject, however, to the continuing authority of the Board of Trustees to terminate Nichols' membership on the Executive Committee. In his capacity as a Trustee, Nichols shall carry out his responsibilities in a manner consistent with applicable law.

(c) Nichols shall, upon the request and subject to the direction of the President and Chief Executive Officer, serve as a director or officer of, or perform such other duties and services as may be requested for and with respect to, any of the Company's Subsidiaries. Unless such compensation is also provided to other inside (employee) directors specifically on account of their service as directors, Nichols shall not be entitled to receive additional compensation on account of his services as a director or officer of any Subsidiary of the Company for which he is requested to serve as a director or officer. As used in this Agreement, the terms "Subsidiary" and "Subsidiaries" shall mean, with respect to any entity, any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity in which the subject entity has the power (whether by contract, through securities ownership, or otherwise and whether directly or indirectly through control of one or more intermediate Subsidiaries) to elect a majority of board of directors or other governing body, including, in the case of a partnership, a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of the general partner.

(d) The Company shall provide to Nichols during the Term an office and secretarial support at the Company's then current headquarters, which office shall be of reasonably comparable size and quality as Nichols' office as of the Effective Date and which secretarial support shall be of reasonably comparable quality and character as Nichols' secretarial support as of the Effective Date.

3. Term. The term of Nichols' employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall extend through, but not after, 5:00 p.m. on December 31, 2007 or such earlier date as Nichols' employment shall terminate as provided herein (the "Term"), and upon the expiration or termination of the Term, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, Nichols shall cease to be employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries in any capacity.

4. Payments.

(a) Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing during the Term, if and to the extent that the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer requests Nichols to provide Advisory Services pursuant to
Section 2, then the Company shall compensate Nichols for such services at the rate of $500.00 per hour.

(b) From and after the Effective Date and until the expiration or termination of the Term, Nichols shall be entitled to receive compensation on account of his services on the Board of Trustees, including any committee of the Board of Trustees to which he may be appointed, in the same amount as the Company pays non-employee trustees for service on the Board and on those committees, if any, to which Nichols may be appointed; provided that in the event that the Company adopts a plan that limits eligibility to non-employee Trustees and makes payments into such plan for non-employee Trustees, the Company shall make a payment to Nichols (in lieu of any contribution into such plan on his behalf) in an amount that represents the cash equivalent of the amount that the Company pays into such plan for a non-employee Trustee.

-2-

5. Fringe Benefits. During the Term and as long as they are kept in force by the Company, Nichols shall be entitled to participate in and receive the benefits of any retirement plan, health or other employee benefit plan made generally available to officers of the Company. In addition, during the Term, Nichols shall be entitled to receive: (a) up to $15,000 per year for financial planning services and tax advice and (b) in addition to reimbursement for expenses provided for in Section 6, up to $20,000 per year for expenses actually incurred in connection with marketing and community participation services provided by Nichols for the benefit of the Company.

6. Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Nichols for any reasonable, ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by Nichols in the performance of Nichols' duties hereunder upon receipt of vouchers therefor and in accordance with the Company's regular reimbursement procedures and practices in effect from time to time with respect to senior officers of the Company. In addition, the Company shall pay (or reimburse) Nichols' reasonable expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with negotiation of this Agreement.

7. Termination of Responsibility. At the end of the Term, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any further obligations hereunder to Nichols (or to his estate, heirs, beneficiaries, or legal representatives, as appropriate, or otherwise) to pay or provide any compensation, or fringe benefits; provided, however, that any accrued obligations under employee benefit plans of the Company ("Company Benefit Plans") respecting Nichols shall be payable pursuant to the terms of such Company Benefit Plans; provided, however, that the Company shall, at its own expense, and through December 31, 2010, provide Nichols with health insurance and life insurance benefits substantially similar to those to which Nichols was entitled immediately prior to the end of the Term.

8. Miscellaneous.

(a) Insurance. Executive will be covered by D&O insurance as a trustee of the Company in a manner consistent with Company policy, and Executive's insurance coverage in his capacity as an employee of the Company will be on terms no less favorable than the coverage provided senior executives of the Company, in each case including coverage as to events occurring during his period of service as a trustee or employee respectively even if the underlying claim is brought after Executive has ceased performing services for the Company.

(b) Controlling Law. This Agreement, and all questions relating to its validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

(c) Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, made and received when delivered in person against receipt, or when sent by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as set forth below:

C. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. In the performance of such services, the Consultant shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing herein contained shall at any time be so construed as to create the relationship of employer and employee, partnership, principal and agent, or joint venture as between the Company and Consultant.

A. FEES. The Company shall pay Consultant $1,000 per year. Such amount shall be payable on each anniversary of the Effective Date (in arrears) or more frequently at the option of the Company.

B. EXPENSES.

The Consultant shall submit a written statement on the Company's standard expense statement form, with supporting receipts, in order for the Consultant to receive reimbursement for his expenses under this Section Four B.

SECTION SIX

INSURANCE

Inasmuch as the Consultant is an independent contractor and not an employee of the Company, the Consultant shall maintain his own health insurance and life insurance, as he may deem appropriate, provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall modify any right the Consultant may have to receive health insurance from the Company as a result of his prior employment relationship with the Company (including Prentiss and any other predecessor entities) and its subsidiaries pursuant to the Prentiss Agreement.

(iii) the Employee is excluded from the Company's (or upon a Change in Control, its successor's) long term incentive plan or reduction by the Company of the Employee's annual base salary or target bonus; or (iv) an assignment of duties to the Employee that is materially inconsistent with the Employee's job description at the time of the Effective Date; or (v) a "Change in Control" of the Company after the Effective Date (provided the Employee elects to resign within thirty (30) days of the Change in Control).

In the event that the Employee shall violate the foregoing restrictions, the relevant period referred to above shall be extended by a period of time equal to that period beginning when such violation commenced, and ending when the activities constituting such a violation shall have finally been terminated in good faith.

The Plan is intended to permit the grant of Restricted Share Awards, Options not qualifying under
Section 422 of the Code, SARs, Incentive Award and the award of Performance Shares. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Shares pursuant to this Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION

The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator. The Administrator shall have authority to award Performance Shares and to grant Restricted Share Awards, Incentive Awards, Options and SARs upon such terms (not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan), as the Administrator may consider appropriate. Such terms may include conditions (in addition to those contained in this Plan), on the exercisability of all or any part of an Option or SAR or on the transferability or forfeitability of Restricted Shares, Performance Shares or Incentive Awards. Notwithstanding any such conditions, the Administrator may, in its discretion, accelerate the time at which any Option or SAR may be exercised. In addition, the Administrator shall have complete authority to interpret all provisions of this Plan; to prescribe the form of Agreements; to adopt, amend, and rescind rules and regulations pertaining to the administration of the Plan; and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan. The express grant in the Plan of any specific power to the Administrator shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Administrator. Any decision made, or action taken, by the Administrator or in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be final and conclusive. Neither the Administrator nor any member of the Committee shall be liable for any act done in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Agreement, Option, SAR, Incentive Award, Restricted Share Award, or any award of Performance Shares. All expenses of administering this Plan shall be borne by the Company.


The Committee, in its discretion, may delegate to one or more officers of the Company all or part of the Committee's authority and duties with respect to grants and awards to individuals who are not subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The Committee may revoke or amend the terms of a delegation at any time but such action shall not invalidate any prior actions of the Committee's delegate or delegates that were consistent with the terms of the Plan.

ARTICLE IV

ELIGIBILITY

4.01. General. Any employee of the Company or an Affiliate is eligible to participate in this Plan if the Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines that such person has contributed significantly or can be expected to contribute significantly to the profits or growth of the Company or an Affiliate. A Trustee of the Company who is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate may be selected to participate in this Plan.

4.02. Grants. The Administrator will designate individuals to whom awards of Restricted Shares and Performance Shares are to be made and to whom Incentive Awards, Options and SARs are to be granted and will specify the number of Shares subject to each award or grant. An Option may be granted with or without a related SAR. An SAR may be granted with or without a related Option. All awards of Restricted Shares and Performance Shares and all Options and SARs granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by Agreements which shall be subject to the applicable provisions of this Plan and to such other provisions as the Administrator may adopt. No Participant may be granted, in any calendar year, Options for more than 390,000 Shares or SARs for more than 390,000 Shares. For purposes of the preceding sentence, an Option and Corresponding SAR shall be treated as a single award. No Participant may be awarded, in any calendar year, awards of Restricted Shares, for more than 50,000 Shares. The preceding sentence shall not limit the issuance of Share Awards in settlement of awards of Performance Shares. No Participant may be awarded, in any calendar year, Performance Shares with respect to more than 50,000 Shares.


ARTICLE V

SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN

5.01. Maximum Number of Shares. Upon the award of Shares in accordance with an award of Restricted Shares and the settlement of Performance Shares, the Company may issue Shares from its authorized but unissued Shares. Upon the exercise of any Option or SAR, the Company may deliver to the Participant (or the Participant's broker if the Participant so directs), Shares from its authorized but unissued Shares. The Company may issue shares from its authorized but unissued shares in accordance with Section 5.02. The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under this Plan is 2,030,000 Shares, subject to increase and adjustment as provided in this Article V and Article XII. The maximum aggregate number of Shares issued under this Plan pursuant to awards of Restricted Shares, or in full or partial settlement of awards of Performance Shares, shall not exceed ten percent of the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued during the term of the Plan under this Article V. If an Option is terminated, in whole or in part, for any reason other than its exercise or the exercise of a Corresponding SAR, the number of Shares allocated to the Option or portion thereof may be reallocated to other Options, SARs, awards of Restricted Shares, and Performance Shares to be granted under this Plan. If an SAR is terminated, in whole or in part, for any reason other than its exercise or the exercise of a related Option, the number of Shares allocated to the SAR or portion thereof may be reallocated to other Options, SARs, awards of Restricted Shares or Performance Shares to be granted under this Plan. To the extent that an award of Performance Shares is forfeited, in whole or in part, without the issuance of a Share Award, or to the extent that an award of Restricted Shares is forfeited, the number of Shares allocated to the portion of the forfeited Performance Share award or forfeited Restricted Share award may be reallocated to other Options, SARs and awards of Restricted Shares, and Performance Shares to be granted under this Plan.

5.02. Employer Options. Shares may be issued to employees of Prentiss Properties Limited, Inc., Prentiss Properties Limited II, Inc. and Prentiss Properties Management, L.P. (each an "Employer") upon the exercise of an option or a share appreciation right, or the vesting or settlement of a restricted share award or performance share award granted by an Employer and upon payment of the purchase price to the Company. The purchase price per Share for Shares issued under this
Section 5.02 shall be the Fair Market Value on the day preceding the date the Shares are issued. The holder of an option or a share appreciation right granted by an Employer shall have none of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to such option until the purchase price is received by the Company and the Shares are issued. The holder of a performance share award granted by an Employer shall have none of the rights of a shareholder of the Company until such award is settled in Shares, and the holder of a restricted share award granted by an Employer shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to Common Stock covered by an award of Restricted Shares, including the right to receive dividends and to vote shares; provided, however, that (i) a Participant may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of Restricted Shares, (ii) the Company shall retain custody of the certificates evidencing Restricted Shares, and (iii) the Participant will deliver to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank, with respect to each award of Restricted Shares. The limitations of the preceding sentence shall not apply after the Restricted Shares are, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Agreement, transferable and no longer forfeitable.


ARTICLE VI

OPTION PRICE

The price per share for Shares purchased on the exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator on the date of grant; provided, however, that the price per share for Shares purchased on the exercise of any Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted.

ARTICLE VII

EXERCISE OF OPTIONS AND SARS

7.01 Maximum Option or SAR Period. The maximum period in which an Option or SAR may be exercised shall be determined by the Administrator on the date of grant.

7.02. Nontransferability. Any Option or SAR granted under this Plan shall be nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of any such transfer, the Option and any Corresponding SAR that relates to such Option must be transferred to the same person or persons. During the lifetime of the Participant to whom the Option or SAR is granted, the Option or SAR may be exercised only by the Participant. No right or interest of a Participant in any Option or SAR shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant.

ARTICLE VIII

METHOD OF EXERCISE

8.01. Exercise. Subject to the provisions of Articles VII and XIII, an Option or SAR may be exercised in whole at any time or in part from time to time at such times and in compliance with such requirements as the Administrator shall determine. An Option or SAR granted under this Plan may be exercised with respect to any number of whole Shares less than the full number of whole Shares for which the Option or SAR could be exercised. A partial exercise of an Option or SAR shall not affect the right to exercise the Option or SAR from time to time in accordance with this Plan and the applicable Agreement with respect to the remaining Shares subject to the Option or related to the SAR. The exercise of either an Option or Corresponding SAR shall result in the termination of the other to the extent of the number of Shares with respect to which the Option or Corresponding SAR is exercised.

8.02. Payment. Unless otherwise provided by the Agreement, payment of the Option price shall be made in a single sum, in cash or a cash equivalent acceptable to the Administrator. If the Agreement provides, payment of all or part of the Option price may be made by surrendering Shares to the Company. If Shares are used to pay all or part of the Option price, any Shares surrendered must have an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the day preceding the date of exercise) that, together with any cash or cash equivalent paid, is not less than the Option price for the number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised.

8.03. Determination of Payment of Cash and/or Shares Upon Exercise of SAR. At the Administrator's discretion, the amount payable as a result of the exercise of an SAR may be settled in cash, cash equivalents acceptable to the Administrator, by the surrender of Shares, or a combination thereof. A fractional share shall not be deliverable upon the exercise of an SAR but a cash payment will be made in lieu thereof.


8.04. Forfeiture. If a Participant's employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated, his or her Options and SARs shall be forfeited to the extent that the Options and SARs were not exercisable on the date of the Participant's termination of employment and to the extent that the Administrator does not exercise its discretion to accelerate the time at which the Participant's Options and SARs may be exercised. If a Participant's employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates due to the Participant's dishonesty, or other similar reasons as determined by the Administrator, all of the Participant's unexercised Options and SARs shall be forfeited, regardless of whether such Options and SARs were exercisable on the date the Participant's employment terminated. The Administrator has complete discretion to determine whether the reason for a participant's termination of employment warrants the forfeiture of all the Participant's unexercised Options and SARs.

8.05. Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to Shares subject to his Option or SAR until the date of exercise of such Option or SAR and the issuance of Shares thereunder.

ARTICLE IX

RESTRICTED SHARE AWARDS

9.01. Awards. In accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01, the Administrator will designate each individual to whom an award of Restricted Shares is to be made and, subject to the provisions of Section 4.02, will specify the number of Shares covered by each such award.

9.02. Vesting. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.03, the Shares covered by an award of Restricted Shares shall remain nontransferable and forfeitable until such conditions as the Administrator, in its discretion, may prescribe in the Agreement have been satisfied. By way of example and not of limitation, such conditions may include a Participant's continued employment for a specified period or that the Company or the Participant achieve stated, performance-related objectives such as return on capital, earnings per Share, earnings growth, total earnings, Fair Market Value, funds from operations per share, or return on assets. Such conditions also may include by way of example and not of limitation, requirements that the Participant complete a specified period of employment with the Company or any Affiliate. The determination as to whether such conditions have been satisfied shall be made by the Administrator, and such termination shall be conclusive.

9.03. Minimum Vesting Period. In cases where the Administrator has prescribed, in the Agreement, that certain performance-related objectives must be satisfied in order for Restricted Shares to become transferable and nonforfeitable, the performance period shall be at least one year. In all other cases, Shares covered by an award of Restricted Shares shall become transferable and nonforfeitable no sooner than three years after the award date. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of awards of Restricted Shares for Participants whose employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates.


9.04. Forfeiture. If a Participant's employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates, for any reason other than death or disability, the Participant shall forfeit all Shares that have not become transferable and nonforfeitable on the date of the Participant's termination of employment and to the extent that the Administrator does not exercise its discretion to accelerate the vesting of the Participant's awards of Restricted Shares. If a Participant's employment with the Company or an Affiliate terminates due to the Participant's dishonesty, or other similar reasons as determined by the Administrator, all of the Participant's Shares shall be forfeited, regardless of whether such Shares were vested on the date the Participant's employment terminated. The Administrator has complete discretion to determine whether the reason for a participant's termination of employment warrants the forfeiture of all the Participant's Restricted Shares.

9.05. Shareholder Rights. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, a Participant will have all rights of a shareholder with respect to the Common Stock covered by an award of Restricted Shares, including the right to receive dividends and vote the shares; provided, however, that (i) a Participant may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of Restricted Shares, (ii) the Company shall retain custody of the certificates evidencing Restricted Shares, and (iii) the participant will deliver to the Company a stock power, endorsed in blank, with respect to each award of Restricted Shares. The limitations set forth in the preceding sentence shall not apply after the Restricted Shares are, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Agreement, transferable and no longer forfeitable.

ARTICLE X

PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS

10.01. Award. In accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01, the Administrator will designate individuals to whom an award of Performance Shares is to be granted and, subject to the provisions of Section 4.02, will specify the number of Shares covered by the award.

10.02. Earning the Award. An award of Performance Shares, or portion thereof, will be earned, and the Participant will be entitled to receive Shares pursuant to a Share Award, a cash payment or a combination thereof, only upon the achievement by the Participant, the Company, or an Affiliate of such performance-related objectives as the Administrator, in its discretion, shall prescribe on the date of grant. By way of example and not of limitation, such performance-related objectives may be stated with respect to return on capital, earnings per Share, earnings growth, total earnings, Fair Market Value funds from operations per share, or return on assets. The determination as to whether such objectives have been achieved shall be made by the Administrator, and such determination shall be conclusive; provided, however, that the period in which such performance is measured shall be at least one year. In addition, the Administrator may, by way of example and not of limitation, require the Participant to complete a specified period of employment with the Company or an Affiliate.

10.03. Payment. In the discretion of the Administrator, the amount payable when an award of Performance Shares is earned may be settled in cash, by the grant of a Share Award or a combination of cash and a Share Award. A fractional share shall not be deliverable when an award of Performance Shares is earned, but a cash payment will be made in lieu thereof.


10.04. Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall, as a result of receiving an award of Performance Shares, have any rights as a shareholder until and to the extent that the award of Performance Shares is earned and a Share Award is made. If the Agreement so provides, a Participant may receive a cash payment equal to the dividends that would have been payable with respect to the number of Shares covered by the award between the date the Performance Shares are awarded and the date a Share Award is made pursuant to the Performance Share award. A Participant may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of a Performance Share award or the right to receive Shares thereunder other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. After an award of Performance Shares is earned and a Share Award is made, a Participant will have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares so awarded.

ARTICLE XI

INCENTIVE AWARDS

11.01. Award. In accordance with the provisions of Article IV, the Administrator shall designate Participants to whom Incentive Awards are made. All Incentive Awards shall be finally determined exclusively by the Administrator under the procedures established by the Administrator.

11.02. Terms and Conditions. The Administrator, at the time an Incentive Award is made, shall specify the terms and conditions which govern the award. Such terms and conditions may prescribe, by way of example and not of limitation, that the Incentive Award shall be earned only to the extent that the Company or an Affiliate, during a performance period achieves performance-related objectives stated with respect to the Company's, an Affiliate's or an operating unit's return on equity, earnings per share, total earnings, earnings growth, return on capital, return on assets or Fair Market Value or funds from operations per share. Such terms and conditions also may include other limitations on the payment of Incentive Awards including, by way of example and not of limitation, requirements that the Participant complete a specified period of employment with the Company or an Affiliate. The Administrator, at the time an Incentive Award is made, shall also specify when amounts shall be payable under the Incentive Award and whether amounts shall be payable in the event of the Participant's death, disability, or retirement. No payment shall be made under an Incentive Award except to the extent that the Administrator certifies that the objectives governing such award have been achieved.

11.03. Nontransferability. Incentive Awards shall be nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. No right or interest of a Participant in an Incentive Award shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant.

11.04. Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall, as a result of receiving an Incentive Award, have any rights as a shareholder of the Company or any Affiliate on account of such award.


ARTICLE XII

ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGE IN SHARES

The maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to Options, SARs, awards of Restricted Shares, the settlement of Performance Shares and in accordance with Section 5.02, and the individual limits on the award of Options, SARs, awards of Restricted Shares and Share Awards in a calendar year shall be proportionately adjusted, and the terms of outstanding Options, SARs, awards of Restricted Shares and Performance Shares and Incentive Awards shall be adjusted, as the Committee shall determine to be equitably required in the event that (a) the Company (i) effects one or more Share dividends, Share split-ups, subdivisions or consolidations of Shares or (ii) engages in a transaction to which Section 424 of the Code applies or (b) there occurs any other event which, in the judgment of the Committee, necessitates such action. Any determination made under this Article XII by the Committee shall be final and conclusive.

The issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the maximum number of shares as to which Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Performance Shares may be granted or which may be issued in accordance with Section 5.02, the individual limits on the award of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares, and Performance Shares in a calendar year, or the terms of outstanding awards of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares or Performance Shares or Incentive Awards.

The Committee may award Performance Shares or Restricted Shares, Options and SARs in substitution for performance shares, share awards (including awards of restricted shares), stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar awards held by an individual who becomes an employee of the Company or an Affiliate in connection with a transaction described in the first paragraph of this Article XII. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan (other than the limitations of Article V), the terms of such substituted Options, SARs, awards of Restricted Shares, or awards of Performance Shares shall be as the Committee, in its discretion, determines is appropriate.

ARTICLE XIII
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND
APPROVAL OF REGULATORY BODIES

No Option or SAR shall be exercisable, no Shares shall be issued, no certificates for Shares shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under this Plan except in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations (including, without limitation, withholding tax requirements), any listing agreement to which the Company is a party, and the rules of all domestic stock exchanges on which the Company's Shares may be listed. The Company shall have the right to rely on an opinion of its counsel as to such compliance. Any certificate issued to evidence Shares when an award of Performance Shares is settled in Shares, an award of Restricted Shares is made, or for which an Option or SAR is exercised may bear such legends and statements as the Administrator may deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. No Option or SAR shall be exercisable, no award of Performance Shares or Restricted Shares shall be granted, no Shares shall be issued, no certificate for Shares shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under this Plan until the Company has obtained such consent or approval as the Administrator may deem advisable from regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such matters.


ARTICLE XIV

GENERAL PROVISIONS

14.01. Effect on Employment. Neither the adoption of this Plan, its operation, nor any documents describing or referring to this Plan (or any part thereof) shall confer upon any individual any right to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate or in any way affect any right or power of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate the employment of any individual at any time with or without assigning a reason therefor.

14.02. Unfunded Plan. The Plan, insofar as it provides for grants, shall be unfunded, and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by grants under this Plan. Any liability of the Company to any person with respect to any grant under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created pursuant to this Plan. No such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Company.

14.03. Rules of Construction. Headings are given to articles and sections of this Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. The reference to any statute, regulation, or other provision of law shall be construed to refer to any amendment to or successor of such provision of law.

For purposes of determining the applicability of Section 422 of the Code (relating to incentive stock options), or in the event that the terms of any award of Performance Shares or Restricted Shares or the grant of any Incentive Award, Option or SAR provide that Shares may be issued or become transferable and nonforfeitable thereunder only after completion of a specified period of employment or during employment, the Administrator may decide in each case to what extent leaves of absence for governmental or military service, illness, temporary disability, or other reasons shall not be deemed interruptions of continuous employment.

14.05. Tax Withholding. Each Participant shall be responsible for satisfying any income and employment tax withholding obligation attributable to participation in this Plan. Unless otherwise provided by the applicable Agreement, any such withholding tax obligation may be satisfied in cash (including from any cash payable in settlement of an award of Performance Shares, an SAR or an Incentive Award) or a cash equivalent acceptable to the Administrator. If provided in an Agreement and in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator, a Participant may surrender Shares in satisfaction of all or part of that tax withholding obligation.

No amendment shall, without a Participant's consent, adversely affect any rights of such Participant under any outstanding award of Performance Shares or Restricted Shares or under any Incentive Award, Option or SAR outstanding at the time such amendment is made.

ARTICLE XVI

No Performance Shares or Restricted Shares may be awarded and no Incentive Award, Option or SAR may be granted under this Plan more than ten years after the earlier of the date that the Plan is adopted by the Board or the date that the Plan is approved by the Company's shareholders as provided in Article XVI. Performance Shares and Restricted Shares awarded and Options and SARs granted before that date shall remain valid in accordance with their terms.

ARTICLE XVII

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE
PRENTISS PROPERTIES TRUST
1996 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

This Fourth Amendment to the Prentiss Properties Trust 1996 Share Incentive Plan (the "Plan") as previously amended by the First through the Third Amendments to the Plan, hereby amends the Plan effective as of October 15, 1996 in the following respects:

1. Section 8.02 of the Plan is hereby amended by the addition at the end thereof of the following language:

Attestation to the ownership of Shares or the assignment thereof to pay the exercise price and taxes shall be at the sole discretion of the Company. The Participant shall have no right to require the Company to accept payment in the form of shares. The Company may reject the attestation or assignment for any reason or no reason.

The form of the attestation or assignment shall be on a form acceptable to the Company in any and all respects.

Attestation to the ownership of Shares and the assignment thereof may be treated as the surrender of Shares under rules and procedures established by the Administrator. Any Shares surrendered, or attested to, must have been held by the surrendering Participant for more than six months, (or for any period required by the Company) and neither the surrender, or attestation to the ownership, of Shares shall be permitted if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes.

Any attempt to surrender shares, or any shares surrendered, or attested to, for any purpose, including payment of the Exercise Price and or taxes will be void AB INITIO, if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes.

Attestation to the ownership of Shares or the assignment thereof, may be only for the minimum number of Shares required to pay the exercise price and the minimum statutory taxes. Amounts in excess will be void AB INITIO

2. As amended by the foregoing, the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

2. The final sentence of Section 8.02 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

"If Shares are used to pay all or part of the Option price, any Shares surrendered (a) must have an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the day preceding the date of exercise) that, together with any cash or cash equivalent paid, is not less than the Option price for the number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised and (b) must have been held by the Participant for at least six (6) months prior to exercise (or such longer or shorter period as may be required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes)."

(a) General. The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees of one or more members of the Board, and the term "COMMITTEE" shall apply to any person or persons to whom such authority has been delegated. If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board or the Plan Administrator shall thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the administration of the Plan. The members of the Committee shall be appointed by and to serve at the pleasure of the Board.

Within the scope of such authority, the Board or the Committee may (i) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Outside Trustees the authority to grant Share Rights to eligible persons who are either (A) not then Covered Employees and are not expected to be Covered Employees at the time of recognition of income resulting from such Share Award or (B) not persons with respect to whom the Company wishes to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code or (ii) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Non-Employee Trustees the authority to grant Share Awards to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

6

3.6 Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as Trustees or members of the Committee, and to the extent allowed by applicable law, the Administrator and each of the Administrator's consultants shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, actually incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding or in connection with any appeal therein, to which the Administrator or any of its consultants may be party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any option granted under the Plan, and against all amounts paid by the Administrator or any of its consultants in settlement thereof (provided that the settlement has been approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) or paid by the Administrator or any of its consultants in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Administrator or any of its consultants did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, and in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe that the conduct complained of was unlawful; provided, however, that within 60 days after institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, such Administrator or any of its consultants shall, in writing, offer the Company the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend such action, suit or proceeding.

4. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

4.1 Share Reserve. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.1 relating to adjustments upon changes in Shares, the Shares that may be issued pursuant to Awards shall consist of the Company's authorized but unissued Shares, and the maximum aggregate amount of such Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Awards under the Plan shall not exceed 2,206,120 Shares and/or Units. The maximum amount of Shares and/or Units that may be issued under the Plan specified above shall be reduced by the total number of Shares underlying options granted and outstanding on the Effective Date ("PRIOR OUTSTANDING OPTIONS") under the terms of the Prentiss Properties Trust 1996 Share Incentive Plan (the "1996 PLAN"). If, prior to the termination of the Plan, a Prior Outstanding Option shall expire, be forfeited or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, the Shares subject to such expired, forfeited or terminated option shall again be available for purposes of this Plan and the number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of Awards under the Plan shall be increased by the number of Shares underlying such expired, forfeited or terminated Prior Outstanding Options that become eligible for Awards under this Plan. In no event, however, will the maximum aggregate amount of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all grants and awards under the Plan, including Prior Outstanding Options that terminate and become available under this Plan, exceed 2,206,120 Shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12.1 hereof. For purposes of determining the Share reserve and for purposes of the individual limitation in Section 5.2, one Unit shall be deemed to be equivalent to one Share.

4.2 Reversion of Shares or Units to the Share Reserve. If any Award shall for any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been exercised in full, the Shares or Units not acquired under such Award shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan. If Shares or Units issued under the Plan are reacquired by the Company pursuant to the terms of a Right of Repurchase or other forfeiture provision, such Shares or Units shall again be available for issuance under the Plan.

4.3 Source of Shares. The Shares subject to the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares or reacquired Shares, bought on the market, pursuant to any Right of Repurchase or other forfeiture provision, or otherwise. Units subject to the Plan shall be Class G limited partnership interests provided under the terms of the agreement of limited partnership of Prentiss Properties Acquisition Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.

Section 5.2 shall not apply until (a) the earliest of: (i) the first material modification of the Plan (including any increase in the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan in accordance with Section 4.1); (ii) the issuance of all of the Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan; (iii) the expiration of the Plan; or (iv) the first meeting of Shareholders at which Trustees are to be elected that occurs after the close of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which occurred the first registration of an equity security under Section 12 of the Exchange Act; or (b) such other date required by Section 162(m) of the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

6. OPTION PROVISIONS.

Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to any Participant or any other person if an Option is determined to constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the terms of such Option do not satisfy the additional conditions applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and Section 8 of the Plan. The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

6.1 Term. No Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date it was granted.

6.2 Exercise Price of an Option. The exercise price of each Nonstatutory Share Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option on the day preceding the date the Option is granted; provided, however, any Nonstatutory Share Option with an exercise price less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Share subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted shall be a 409A Award and shall be subject to the additional requirements of Section 8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Nonstatutory Share Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

6.3 Consideration. The purchase price of Shares acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either (i) in cash or by certified or bank check at the time the Option is exercised or (ii) or in the discretion of the Administrator, upon such terms as the Administrator shall approve, the exercise price may be paid: (1) by delivery to the Company of other Shares, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the exercise price (or portion thereof) due for the number of Shares being acquired, or by means of attestation whereby the Participant identifies for delivery specific Shares that have been held for more than six months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes) that have a Fair Market Value on the date of attestation equal to the exercise price (or portion thereof) and receives a number of Shares equal to the difference between the number of Shares thereby purchased and the number of identified attestation Shares (a "SHARE FOR SHARE EXCHANGE"); (2) during any period for which the Shares are publicly traded (i.e., the Shares are listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system, including without limitation the Nasdaq National Market, or if the Shares are quoted on the Nasdaq System (but not on the Nasdaq National Market) or any similar system whereby the Shares are regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but closing sale prices are not reported), by a copy of instructions to a broker directing such broker to sell the Shares for which such Option is exercised, and to remit to the Company the aggregate Exercise Price of such Options (a "CASHLESS EXERCISE"); (3) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Administrator, provided, however, if applicable law requires, the par value (if any) of Shares, if newly issued, shall be paid in cash or cash equivalents. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the purchase price of Shares acquired pursuant to an Option that is paid by delivery (or attestation) to the Company of other Shares acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by Shares of the Company that have been held for more than six months (or such longer or

8

shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes). Notwithstanding the forgoing, during any period for which the Shares are publicly traded (i.e., the Shares are listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system, including without limitation the Nasdaq National Market, or if the Common Share is quoted on the Nasdaq System (but not on the Nasdaq National Market) or any similar system whereby the Shares are regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but closing sale prices are not reported), a Cashless Exercise or other transaction by a Trustee or executive officer that involves or may involve a direct or indirect extension of credit or arrangement of an extension of credit by the Company, or an Affiliate in violation of Section 402(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (codified as Section 13(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. ss. 78m(k)) shall be prohibited with respect to any Award under this Plan.

6.4 Transferability of an Option. An Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

6.5 Vesting Generally. The Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Administrator may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. No Option may be exercised for a fraction of a Share. The Administrator may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the terms of any Option Agreement upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company.

6.6 Termination of Continuous Service. Unless otherwise provided in an Option Agreement or in an employment agreement the terms of which have been approved by the Administrator, in the event an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder's death or Disability or termination by the Company for Cause), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date three months following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service, or (b) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate. Outstanding Options that are not exercisable at the time an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates for any reason other than for Cause (including an Optionholder's death or Disability) shall be forfeited and expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. If the Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates for Cause, all outstanding Options shall be forfeited (whether or not vested) and expire as of the beginning of business on the date of such termination for Cause.

6.7 Employment by a Competitor. Unless otherwise provided in an Option Agreement or in an employment agreement the terms of which have been approved by the Administrator, in the event an Optionholder (i) voluntarily resigns his or her employment with the Company and its Affiliates and (ii) thereafter is employed by any person or entity that is engaged in any line of business in which the Company or any Affiliate is engaged as of the date of such resignation (a "COMPETITOR"), then all Options held by such Optionholder shall expire on the later of the 30th day following the Optionholders termination of Continuous Service or the commencement of such Optionholder's employment with such Competitor, irrespective of whether such Optionholder's employment with the Competitor continues through such 30-day period.

6.8 Extension of Termination Date. An Optionholder's Option Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service for any reason other than Cause (including upon the Optionholder's death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time because the issuance of Shares would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act or any other state or federal securities law, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the term of the Option in accordance with Section 6.1 or (b) the expiration of a period after termination of the Participant's Continuous Service that is three months after the end of the period during which the exercise of the Option would be in violation of such registration or other securities law requirements.

9

6.9 Death of Optionholder. Unless otherwise provided in an Option Agreement, in the event an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the Option upon the Optionholder's death, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (a) the date 12 months following the date of death or
(b) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

6.10 Disability of Optionholder. Unless otherwise provided in an Option Agreement, in the event that an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (a) the date 12 months following such termination or (b) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

6.11 Early Exercise. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Optionholder may elect at any time before the Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the Shares subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. In such case, the Shares acquired on exercise shall be subject to the vesting schedule that otherwise would apply to determine the exercisability of the Option. Any unvested Shares so purchased may be subject to a Right of Repurchase in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Administrator determines to be appropriate. The Company will not be required to exercise its Right of Repurchase until at least six months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following exercise of the Option unless the Administrator otherwise specifically provides in the Option.

6.12 Additional Requirements Under Section 409A. Each Option agreement shall include a provision whereby, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or the Option agreement to the contrary, the Option shall satisfy the additional conditions applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation under
Section 409A of the Code, in accordance with Section 8 hereof, in the event any Option under this Plan is granted with an exercise price less than Fair Market Value of the Common Share subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted (regardless of whether or not such exercise price is intentionally or unintentionally priced at less than Fair Market Value, or is materially modified at a time when the Fair Market Value exceeds the exercise price), or is otherwise determined to constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

7. PROVISIONS OF AWARDS OTHER THAN OPTIONS.

7.1 Restricted Share Awards. The Administrator may from time to time award (or sell at a purchase price determined by the Administrator) Restricted Share Awards under the Plan to eligible Participants. Restricted Share Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, pledged or hypothecated as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of any obligation or for any other purpose for such period (the "RESTRICTED PERIOD") as the Administrator shall determine. Each Restricted Share Award Agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms, conditions and Restricted Periods as the Administrator shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of the Restricted Share Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Restricted Share Award Agreements need not be identical, but each Restricted Share Award Agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

(a) Purchase Price. The purchase price of Restricted Share Awards shall be determined by the Administrator, and may be stated as cash, property, a contract for future services or prior services.

10

(b) Consideration. The consideration for Shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Share Award Agreement shall be paid either:
(i) in cash at the time of purchase; or (ii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion including, without limitation, property or a Share For Share Exchange, a contract for future services or prior services that the Administrator determines have a value at least equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares.

(c) Vesting. Shares acquired under the Restricted Share Award Agreement may, but need not, be subject to a Restricted Period that specifies a Right of Repurchase in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Administrator, or forfeiture in the event the consideration was in the form of prior or future services. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an acceleration of vesting in the terms of any Restricted Share Award Agreement in the event a Change in Control occurs.

(d) Termination of Participant's Continuous Service. Unless otherwise provided in an Option Agreement or a Restricted Share Award Agreement or in an employment agreement the terms of which have been approved by the Administrator, in the event a Participant's Continuous Service terminates for any reason, the Company may exercise its Right of Repurchase or otherwise reacquire, or the Participant shall forfeit unvested shares acquired in consideration of prior or future services, and any or all of the Shares held by the Participant which have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the Option Agreement or Restricted Share Award Agreement shall be forfeited and the Participant shall have no rights with respect to the forfeited Award.

(e) Transferability. Rights to acquire Shares under the Restricted Share Award Agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Restricted Share Award Agreement, as the Administrator shall determine in its discretion, so long as Shares awarded under the Restricted Share Award Agreement remain subject to the restrictions of the Restricted Share Award Agreement.

(f) Concurrent Tax Payment. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may (but shall not be required to) provide for payment of a concurrent cash award in an amount equal, in whole or in part, to the estimated after tax amount required to satisfy applicable federal, state or local tax withholding obligations arising from the receipt and deemed vesting of Restricted Share Awards for which an election under Section 83(b) of the Code may be required.

(g) Lapse of Restrictions. Upon the expiration or termination of the Restricted Period and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Administrator, the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Share Award shall lapse and a Share certificate for the number of Shares with respect to which the restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered, free of any restrictions except those that may be imposed by law, to the Participant or the Participant's beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. The Company shall not be required to deliver any fractional Share but will pay, in lieu thereof, the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share in cash to the Participant or the Participant's beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. The Share certificate shall be issued and delivered and the Participant shall be entitled to the beneficial ownership rights of such Shares not later than (i) the date that is 2-1/2 months after the end of the Participant's taxable year for which the Restricted Period ends and the Participant has a legally binding right to such amounts; or (ii) the date that is 2-1/2 months after the end of the Company's taxable year for which the Restricted Period ends and the Participant has a legally binding right to such amounts, whichever is later.

7.2 Unrestricted Awards.

(a) Grant or Sale of Unrestricted Awards. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, award (or sell at a purchase price determined by the Administrator) an Unrestricted Award to any Participant, pursuant to which such individual may receive Shares free of any vesting and transfer restrictions ("UNRESTRICTED SHARES") under the Plan. Unrestricted Awards may be granted or sold as described in the preceding sentence in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of any cash compensation due to such individual. The Share certificate for Unrestricted

11

Shares shall be issued and delivered and the Participant shall be entitled to the beneficial ownership rights of such Shares not later than (i) the date that is 2-1/2 months after the end of the Participant's taxable year for which services rendered as consideration were provided and in which the Participant has a legally binding right to such amounts; or (ii) the date that is 2-1/2 months after the end of the Company's taxable year for which services rendered as consideration were provided and in which the Participant has a legally binding right to such amounts, whichever is later.

7.3 Performance Share Awards.

(a) Nature of Performance Share Awards. A Performance Share Award is an Award entitling the recipient to acquire actual Shares or hypothetical Share units having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of an identical number of Shares upon the attainment of specified performance goals. The Administrator may make Performance Share Awards independent of or in connection with the granting of any other Award under the Plan. Performance Share Awards may be granted under the Plan to any Participant, including those who qualify for awards under other performance plans of the Company. The Administrator in its sole discretion shall determine whether and to whom Performance Share Awards shall be made, the performance goals applicable under each Award, the periods during which performance is to be measured, and all other limitation and conditions applicable to the awarded shares; provided, however, that the Administrator may rely on the performance goals and other standards applicable to other performance unit plans of the Company in setting the standards for Performance Share Awards under the Plan. Performance goals shall be based on a pre-established objective formula or standard that specifies the manner of determining the number of Performance Share Award shares that will be granted or will vest if the performance goal is attained. Performance goals will be determined by the Administrator prior to the time 25% of the service period has elapsed and may be based on one or more business criteria that apply to a Participant, a business unit or the Company and its Affiliates. Such business criteria may include, by way of example and without limitation, revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), funds from operations, funds from operations per share, operating income, pre or after tax income, cash available for distribution, cash available for distribution per share, net earnings, earnings per share, return on equity, return on assets, share price performance, improvements in the Company's attainment of expense levels, and implementing or completion of critical projects, or improvement in cash-flow (before or after tax). A performance goal may be measured over a performance period on a periodic, annual, cumulative or average basis and may be established on a corporate-wide basis or established with respect to one or more operating units, divisions, subsidiaries, acquired businesses, minority investments, partnerships or joint ventures. More than one performance goal may be incorporated in a performance objective, in which case achievement with respect to each performance goal may be assessed individually or in combination with each other. The Administrator may, in connection with the establishment of performance objectives for a performance period, establish a matrix setting forth the relationship between performance on two or more performance goals and the amount of the Performance Share Award payable for that performance period. The level or levels of performance specified with respect to a performance goal may be established in absolute terms, as objectives relative to performance in prior periods, as an objective compared to the performance of one or more comparable companies or an index covering multiple companies, or otherwise as the Administrator may determine. Performance objectives shall be objective and, if the Company is publicly traded, shall otherwise meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. Performance objectives may differ for Performance Share Awards granted to any one Participant or to different Participants. A Performance Share Award to a Participant who is a Covered Employee shall (unless the Administrator determines otherwise) provide that in the event of the Participant's termination of Continuous Service prior to the end of the performance period for any reason, such Award will be payable only
(i) if the applicable performance objectives are achieved and (ii) to the extent, if any, as the Administrator shall determine. Such objective performance goals do not have to be based on increases in a specific business criteria, but may be based on maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses.

(b) Restrictions on Transfer. Performance Share Awards and all rights with respect to such Performance Share Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered. No right or interest of a Participant in a Performance Share Award shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation or liability of such Participant.

12

(c) Rights as a Shareholder. A Participant receiving a Performance Share Award shall have the rights of a Shareholder only as to shares actually received by the Participant under the Plan and not with respect to shares subject to the Award but not actually received by the Participant. A Participant shall be entitled to receive a Share certificate evidencing the acquisition of Shares under a Performance Share Award only upon satisfaction of all conditions specified in the written instrument evidencing the Performance Share Award (or in a performance plan adopted by the Administrator). The Share certificate shall be issued and delivered and the Participant shall be entitled to the beneficial ownership rights of such Shares not later than (i) the date that is 2-1/2 months after the end of the Participant's taxable year for which the Administrator certifies that the Performance Share Award conditions have been satisfied and the Participant has a legally binding right to such amounts; or (ii) the date that is 2-1/2 months after the end of the Company's taxable year for which the Administrator certifies that the Performance Share Award conditions have been satisfied and the Participant has a legally binding right to such amounts, whichever is later.

(d) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator at any time, a Participant's rights in all Performance Share Awards shall automatically terminate upon the Participant's termination of employment (or business relationship) with the Company and its Affiliates for any reason.

(e) Acceleration, Waiver, Etc. At any time prior to the Participant's termination of employment (or other business relationship) by the Company and its Affiliates, the Administrator may in its sole discretion accelerate, waive or, subject to Section 13, amend any or all of the goals, restrictions or conditions imposed under any Performance Share Award. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an acceleration of vesting in the terms of any Performance Share Award in the event a Change in Control occurs.

(f) Certification. Following the completion of each performance period, the Administrator shall certify in writing, in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, whether the performance objectives and other material terms of a Performance Share Award have been achieved or met. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, Performance Share Awards shall not be settled until the Administrator has made the certification specified under this Section 7.3(f).

7.4 Share Appreciation Rights.

(a) General. Share Appreciation Rights may be granted either alone ("FREE STANDING RIGHTS") or, provided the requirements of Section 7.4(b) are satisfied, in tandem with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan ("RELATED RIGHTS"). In the case of a Nonstatutory Share Option, Related Rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Share Option.

(b) Grant Requirements. A Share Appreciation Right may only be granted if the Share Appreciation Right: (1) does not provide for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code; or
(2) satisfies the requirements of Section 7.4(h) and Section 8 hereof. A Share Appreciation Right does not provide for a deferral of compensation if: (i) the floor for determining the appreciation component of the Share Appreciation Right that will be paid to the Participant (i.e., the amount used to determine the appreciation in excess of the value of the Common Share that the holder is entitled to receive upon exercise (hereinafter, the "SAR EXERCISE PRICE")) may never be less than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Share on the date the right is granted, (ii) the Common Share subject to the right is traded on an established securities market, (iii) only such traded Common Share may be delivered in settlement of the right upon exercise, and (iv) the right does not include any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the exercise of the right.

(c) Exercise and Payment. Upon exercise thereof, the holder of a Share Appreciation Right shall be entitled to receive from the Company, an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value, on the date of such written request, of one share of Common Share over the SAR exercise price per share specified in such Share Appreciation Right or its related Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares for which such Share Appreciation Right shall be exercised. Payment with respect to the exercise of a Share Appreciation Right that satisfies the requirements of Section 7.4(b)(1) shall be paid on the date of exercise and made in Shares (with or without restrictions as to substantial risk of forfeiture and transferability, as

13

determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion), valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. Payment with respect to the exercise of a Share Appreciation Right that does not satisfy the requirements of Section 7.4(b)(1) shall be paid at the time specified in the Award in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4(h) and Section 8. Payment may be made in the form of Shares (with or without restrictions as to substantial risk of forfeiture and transferability, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion), cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Administrator.

(d) Exercise Price. The exercise price of a Free Standing Share Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Administrator, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Share on the Date of Grant of such Share Appreciation Right. A Related Share Appreciation Right granted simultaneously with or subsequent to the grant of an Option and in conjunction therewith or in the alternative thereto shall have the same exercise price as the related Option, shall be transferable only upon the same terms and conditions as the related Option, and shall be exercisable only to the same extent as the related Option; provided, however, that a Share Appreciation Right, by its terms, shall be exercisable only when the Fair Market Value per share of Common Share subject to the Share Appreciation Right and related Option exceeds the exercise price per share thereof and no Share Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with an Option unless the Administrator determines that the requirements of Section 7.4(b)(1) are satisfied.

(e) Reduction in the Underlying Option Shares. Upon any exercise of a Share Appreciation Right, the number of Shares for which any related Option shall be exercisable shall be reduced by the number of shares for which the Share Appreciation Right shall have been exercised. The number of Shares for which a Share Appreciation Right shall be exercisable shall be reduced upon any exercise of any related Option by the number of Shares for which such Option shall have been exercised.

(f) Written Request. Any election by an Optionholder to receive cash in full or partial settlement of a Share Appreciation Right, and any exercise of such Share Appreciation Right for cash, may be made only by a written request filed with the Corporate Secretary of the Company during the period beginning on the third business day following the date of release for publication by the Company of quarterly or annual summary statements of earnings and ending on the twelfth business day following such date. Within 30 days of the receipt by the Company of a written request to receive cash in full or partial settlement of a Share Appreciation Right or to exercise such Share Appreciation Right for cash, the Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, either consent to or disapprove, in whole or in part, such written request. A written request to receive cash in full or partial settlement of a Share Appreciation Right or to exercise a Share Appreciation Right for cash may provide that, in the event the Administrator shall disapprove such written request, such written request shall be deemed to be an exercise of such Share Appreciation Right for Shares.

(g) Disapproval by Administrator. If the Administrator disapproves in whole or in part any election by an Optionholder to receive cash in full or partial settlement of a Share Appreciation Right or to exercise such Share Appreciation Right for cash, such disapproval shall not affect such Optionholder's right to exercise such Share Appreciation Right at a later date, to the extent that such Share Appreciation Right shall be otherwise exercisable, or to elect the form of payment at a later date, provided that an election to receive cash upon such later exercise shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator. Additionally, such disapproval shall not affect such Optionholder's right to exercise any related Option.

(h) Additional Requirements under Section 409A. A Share Appreciation Right that is not intended to or fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 7.4(b)(1) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.4(h) and the additional conditions applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, in accordance with Section 8 hereof. The requirements herein shall apply in the event any Share Appreciation Right under this Plan is granted with an SAR exercise price less than Fair Market Value of the Common Share underlying the award on the date the Share Appreciation Right is granted (regardless of whether or not such SAR exercise price is intentionally or unintentionally priced at less than Fair Market Value, or is materially modified at a time when the Fair Market Value exceeds the SAR

14

exercise price), provides that it is settled in cash, or is otherwise determined to constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Any such Share Appreciation Right may provide that it is exercisable at any time permitted under the governing written instrument, but such exercise shall be limited to fixing the measurement of the amount, if any, by which the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Share on the date of exercise exceeds the SAR exercise price (the "SAR AMOUNT"). However, once the Share Appreciation Right is exercised, the SAR Amount may only be paid on the fixed time, payment schedule or other event specified in the governing written instrument or in Section 8.1 hereof.

7.5 Incentive Awards. An Incentive Award is an Award entitling the Participant to receive a cash payment from the Company or an Affiliate, according to the terms specified by the Administrator in the Award Agreement.

(a) Terms and Conditions. The Administrator, at the time an Incentive Award is granted, shall specify the terms and conditions which govern the Award. Such terms and conditions may prescribe, by way of example and not of limitation, that the Incentive Award shall be earned only to the extent that the Company or an Affiliate, during a performance measurement period, achieves stated performance-goals. Performance goals shall be based on a pre-established objective formula or standard that specifies the manner of determining the number of Performance Share Award shares that will be granted or will vest if the performance goal is attained. Performance goals will be determined by the Administrator prior to the time 25% of the service period has elapsed and may be based on one or more business criteria that apply to a Participant, a business unit or the Company and its Affiliates. Such business criteria may include, by way of example and without limitation, revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), funds from operations, funds from operations per share, operating income, pre or after tax income, cash available for distribution, cash available for distribution per share, net earnings, earnings per share, return on equity, return on assets, Share price performance, improvements in the Company's attainment of expense levels, and implementing or completion of critical projects, or improvement in cash-flow (before or after tax). A performance goal may be measured over a performance period on a periodic, annual, cumulative or average basis and may be established on a corporate-wide basis or established with respect to one or more operating units, divisions, subsidiaries, acquired businesses, minority investments, partnerships or joint ventures. More than one performance goal may be incorporated in a performance objective, in which case achievement with respect to each performance goal may be assessed individually or in combination with each other. The Administrator may, in connection with the establishment of performance objectives for a performance period, establish a matrix setting forth the relationship between performance on two or more performance goals and the amount of the Incentive Award payable for that performance period. The level or levels of performance specified with respect to a performance goal may be established in absolute terms, as objectives relative to performance in prior periods, as an objective compared to the performance of one or more comparable companies or an index covering multiple companies, or otherwise as the Administrator may determine. Performance objectives shall be objective and, if the Company is publicly traded, shall otherwise meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. Performance objectives may differ for Incentive Awards granted to any one Participant or to different Participants. An Incentive Award to a Participant who is a Covered Employee shall (unless the Administrator determines otherwise) provide that in the event of the Participant's termination of Continuous Service prior to the end of the performance period for any reason, such Award will be payable only (i) if the applicable performance objectives are achieved and (ii) to the extent, if any, as the Administrator shall determine. Such objective performance goals do not have to be based on increases in a specific business criteria, but may be based on maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses.

(b) Restrictions on Transfer. Incentive Awards and all rights with respect to such Incentive Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered. No right or interest of a Participant in an Incentive Award shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation or liability of such Participant.

15

(c) Rights as a Shareholder. A Participant receiving an Incentive Award shall not have any rights as a Shareholder of the Company or an Affiliate on account of such Award.

(d) Additional Considerations Under Section 409A of the Code. Any Incentive Award that the Administrator determines the Participant is entitled shall be paid not later than (i) the date that is 2-1/2 months after the end of the Participant's taxable year for which the Administrator certifies that the Incentive Award conditions have been satisfied and the Participant has a legally binding right to such amounts; or (ii) the date that is 2-1/2 months after the end of the Company's taxable year for which the Administrator certifies that the Incentive Award conditions have been satisfied and the Participant has a legally binding right to such amounts, whichever is later.

7.6 Share-Based Awards. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, award (or sell at a purchase price determined by the Administrator) Share-Based Awards under the Plan to eligible Participants. Each Share-Based Award Agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem appropriate. Share-Based Awards may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship), computation of financial metrics and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The Administrator may require that Share-Based Awards be held through a limited partnership, or similar "look-through" entity, and the Administrator may require such limited partnership or similar entity to impose restrictions on its partners or other beneficial owners that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 7.6. The terms and conditions of the Share-Based Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Share-Based Award Agreements need not be identical, but each Share-Based Award Agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

(a) Nature of Share-Based Awards. The Administrator shall calculate in good faith, for purposes of establishing the number of Shares underlying a Share-Based Award relative to the total number of Shares reserved and available for issuance under Section 4.1, the maximum number of Shares to which a grantee of such Share-Based Award may be entitled upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth in the relevant Share-Based Award Agreement, including vesting, accretion factors, conversion ratios, exchange ratios and the like. If and when any such conditions are no longer capable of being met, in whole or in part, the number of Shares underlying such Share-Based Award shall be reduced accordingly by the Administrator and the related Shares shall be added back to the Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

(b) Purchase Price. The purchase price, if any, of Share-Based Awards shall be determined by the Administrator, and may be stated as cash, property, a contract for future services or prior services.

(c) Consideration. The consideration for Shares acquired pursuant to the Share-Based Award Agreement shall be paid either: (i) in cash at the time of purchase; or (ii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion including, without limitation, property or a Share For Share Exchange, a contract for future services or prior services that the Administrator determines have a value at least equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares.

(d) Vesting. A Share-Based Award may, but need not, vest in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. Vesting schedules may be based, among other things, on the attainment of performance goals and, in such case, such performance goals shall be based on a pre-established objective formula or standard that specifies the manner of determining the number of Share-Based Awards that will be granted or will vest if the performance goal is attained. Performance goals will be determined by the Administrator prior to the time 25% of the service period has elapsed and may be based on one or more business criteria that apply to a Participant, a business unit or the Company and its Affiliates. Such business criteria may include, by way of example and without limitation, revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), funds from operations, funds from operations per share, operating income, pre or after tax income, cash available for distribution, cash available for distribution per share, net earnings, earnings per share, return on equity, return on assets, share price performance, improvements in the Company's attainment of expense levels, and implementing or

16

completion of critical projects, or improvement in cash-flow (before or after tax). A performance goal may be measured over a performance period on a periodic, annual, cumulative or average basis and may be established on a corporate-wide basis or established with respect to one or more operating units, divisions, subsidiaries, acquired businesses, minority investments, partnerships or joint ventures. More than one performance goal may be incorporated in a performance objective, in which case achievement with respect to each performance goal may be assessed individually or in combination with each other. The Administrator may, in connection with the establishment of performance objectives for a performance period, establish a matrix setting forth the relationship between performance on two or more performance goals and the amount of the Share-Based Awards payable for that performance period. The level or levels of performance specified with respect to a performance goal may be established in absolute terms, as objectives relative to performance in prior periods, as an objective compared to the performance of one or more comparable companies or an index covering multiple companies, or otherwise as the Administrator may determine. Performance objectives shall be objective and, if the Company is publicly traded, shall otherwise meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. Performance objectives may differ for Share-Based Awards granted to any one Participant or to different Participants. A Share-Based Award to a Participant who is a Covered Employee shall (unless the Administrator determines otherwise) provide that in the event of the Participant's termination of Continuous Service prior to the end of the performance period for any reason, such Award will be payable only (i) if the applicable performance objectives are achieved and (ii) to the extent, if any, as the Administrator shall determine. Such objective performance goals do not have to be based on increases in a specific business criteria, but may be based on maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses.

(e) Non-Transferability. Share-Based Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, pledged or hypothecated as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of any obligation or for any other purpose except as the Administrator shall determine.

(f) Termination of Employment or Service. In the event that a recipient ceases to be employed by or to provide services to the Company, or any Affiliate, any outstanding Share-Based Awards previously granted to such recipient shall be subject to such terms and conditions as set forth in the Share-Based Award Agreement. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Share-Based Award Agreement, or, subject to Section 13 below, in writing after the Share-Based Award Agreement is issued, a grantee's rights in all Share-Based Awards that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee's termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the Company and its Affiliates for any reason.

8. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION UNDER SECTION 409A OF THE CODE.

In the event any Option under this Plan is granted with an exercise price less than Fair Market Value of the Common Share subject to the grant or award on the Grant Date (regardless of whether or not such exercise price is intentionally or unintentionally priced at less than Fair Market Value, or such grant is materially modified and deemed a new grant at a time when the Fair Market Value exceeds the exercise price), or any Award is otherwise determined to constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (a "409A AWARD"), the following additional conditions shall apply and shall supersede any contrary provisions of this Plan or the terms of any 409A Award agreement.

8.1 Exercise and Distribution. No 409A Award shall be exercisable or distributable earlier than upon one of the following:

(a) Specified Time. A specified time or a fixed schedule set forth in the written instrument evidencing the 409A Award, but not later than after the expiration of 10 years from the Award Date or Grant Date. If the written grant instrument does not specify a fixed time or schedule, such time shall be the date that is the fifth anniversary of the Award Date or Grant Date.

17

(b) Separation from Service. Separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) by the 409A Award recipient; provided however, if the 409A Award recipient is a "key employee" (as defined in
Section 416(i) of the Code without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) and any of the Company's Share is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, exercise or distribution under this Section 8.1(b) may not be made before the date which is six months after the date of separation from service.

(c) Death. The date of death of the 409A Award recipient.

(d) Disability. The date the 409A Award recipient becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 8.4(b) hereof).

(e) Unforeseeable Emergency. The occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency (within the meaning of Section 8.4(c) hereof), but only if the net value (after payment of the exercise price) of the number of Shares that become issuable does not exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy such emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the exercise, after taking into account the extent to which the emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the participant's other assets (to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship).

(f) Change in Control Event. The occurrence of a Change in Control Event (within the meaning of Section 8.4(a) hereof), including the Company's discretionary exercise of the right to accelerate vesting of such grant upon a Change in Control Event or to terminate the Plan or any 409A Award granted hereunder within 12 months of the Change in Control Event.

8.2 Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan or the terms of any 409A Award agreement, the term of any 409A Award shall expire and such Award shall no longer be exercisable on the date that is the later of: (a) 2-1/2 months after the end of the Company's taxable year in which the 409A Award first becomes exercisable or distributable pursuant to Section 8 hereof and is not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or (b) 2-1/2 months after the end of the 409A Award recipient's taxable year in which the 409A Award first becomes exercisable or distributable pursuant to Section 8 hereof and is not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, but not later than the earlier of (i) the expiration of 10 years from the date the 409A Award was granted, or (ii) the term specified in the 409A Award agreement.

8.3 No Acceleration. A 409A Award may not be accelerated or exercised prior to the time specified in Section 8 hereof, except in the case of one of the following events:

(a) Domestic Relations Order. The 409A Award may permit the acceleration of the exercise or distribution time or schedule to an individual other than the Participant as may be necessary to comply with the terms of a domestic relations order (as defined in Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code).

(b) Conflicts of Interest. The 409A Award may permit the acceleration of the exercise or distribution time or schedule as may be necessary to comply with the terms of a certificate of divestiture (as defined in Section 1043(b)(2) of the Code).

(c) Change in Control Event. The Administrator may exercise the discretionary right to accelerate the vesting of such 409A Award upon a Change in Control Event or to terminate the Plan or any 409A Award granted thereunder within 12 months of the Change in Control Event and cancel the 409A Award for compensation. In addition, the Administrator may exercise the discretionary right to accelerate the vesting of such 409A Award provided that the such acceleration does not change the time or schedule of payment of such Award and otherwise satisfies the requirements of this 8 and the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code.

18

8.4 Definitions. Solely for purposes of this Section 8 and not for other purposes of the Plan, the following terms shall be defined as set forth below:

9. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

9.1 Availability of Shares. During the terms of the Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of Shares required to satisfy such Awards.

9.2 Securities Law Compliance. Each Share Option Agreement and Award Agreement shall provide that no Shares shall be purchased or sold thereunder unless and until (i) any then applicable requirements of state or federal laws and regulatory agencies shall have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel and (ii) if required to do so by the Company, the Participant shall have executed and delivered to the Company a letter of investment intent in such form and containing such provisions as the Administrator may require. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Awards and to issue and sell Shares upon exercise of the Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Award or any Common Share issued or issuable pursuant to any such Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Share under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Share upon exercise of such Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.
10. USE OF PROCEEDS FROM SHARE.

Proceeds from the sale of Common Share pursuant to Awards shall constitute general funds of the Company.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

11.1 Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. Subject to the requirements of Section 8, the Administrator shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Award may first be exercised or the time during which an Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.

19

11.2 Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any Shares subject to such Award unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Award pursuant to its terms and no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Share certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 12.1, hereof.

11.3 No Employment or other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (a) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without Cause, (b) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant's agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or (c) the service of a Trustee pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.

11.4 Transfer, Approved Leave of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, no termination of employment by an Employee shall be deemed to result from either (a) a transfer to the employment of the Company from an Affiliate or from the Company to an Affiliate, or from one Affiliate to another; or (b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee's right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator otherwise so provides in writing.

11.5 Investment Assurances. The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Shares under any Award,
(a) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant's knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Award; and (b) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Shares subject to the Award for the Participant's own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Share. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (i) the issuance of the Shares upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Share under the Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on Share certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Share.

11.6 Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by the terms of an Award Agreement and subject to the discretion of the Administrator, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of Shares under an Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company's right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (a) tendering a cash payment; (b) authorizing the Company to withhold Shares from the Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of Shares under the Award, provided, however, that no Shares are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or (c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered Shares of the Company.

11.7 Transfer of Shares Acquired Under Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Participant may not transfer Shares acquired under this Plan to the Company within six months after the purchase of such Common Share (the "SIX MONTHS HOLDING PERIOD"), other than, if permitted by the Administrator in its discretion, to satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements.

20

11.8 Right of Repurchase. Each Award Agreement may provide that, following a termination of the Participant's Continuous Service, the Company may repurchase the Participant's unvested Shares acquired under the Plan as provided in this Section 11.8 (the "RIGHT OF REPURCHASE"). In the case of unvested Shares, the Right of Repurchase shall be exercisable at a price equal to the lesser of the purchase price at which such Shares were acquired under the Plan or the Fair Market Value of such Shares. The Award Agreement may specify the period of time following a termination of the Participant's Continuous Service during which the Right of Repurchase may be exercised, provided that such exercise may in any event be extended to a date that is within 60 days after the date the Six Months Holding Period has been satisfied. In the case of unvested Shares purchased in exchange for services, the Company shall be entitled to forfeit such Unvested Shares without regard to the exercise of its Right of Repurchase and without payment of any consideration.

12. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN SHARES.

12.1 Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in the Shares or Units (solely for purposes of this Section 12.1, references to Shares shall be deemed to include Units, unless the context indicates otherwise) subject to the Plan, or subject to any Award, without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, Share dividend, dividend in property other than cash, Share split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company), then (i) the aggregate number of Shares or class of Shares which may be purchased pursuant to Awards granted hereunder; (ii) the number and/or class of Shares covered by outstanding Options and Awards; (iii) the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options or Share Appreciation Rights may be granted to any single Participant during any calendar year; and (iv) the exercise price of any Share Option in effect prior to such change shall be proportionately adjusted by the Administrator to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares or change in the Fair Market Value of such Shares resulting from such transaction; provided, however, that any fractional Shares resulting from the adjustment shall be eliminated. The Administrator shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction "without receipt of consideration" by the Company.

12.2 Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Awards shall terminate immediately prior to such event.

12.3 Change in Control and Other Corporate Transactions. In the event of a Change in Control, dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any corporate separation or division, including, but not limited to, a split-up, a split-off or a spin-off, or a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company; a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity; or a reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, but the Shares outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise (collectively, a "CORPORATE TRANSACTION"), then, the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, but otherwise in the sole discretion of the Administrator may provide for: (i) the continuation of outstanding Awards by the Company (if the Company is the surviving entity); (ii) the assumption of the Plan and such outstanding Awards by the surviving entity or its parent; (iii) the substitution by the surviving entity or its parent of Awards with substantially the same terms (including an Award to acquire the same consideration paid to the shareholders in the Corporate Transaction described in this Section 12.3) for such outstanding grants and, if appropriate, subject to the equitable adjustment provisions of Section 12.1 hereof; (iv) the cancellation of such outstanding Awards in consideration for a payment equal in value to the Fair Market Value of vested Awards, or in the case of an Option, the difference between the Fair Market Value and the exercise price for all Shares subject to exercise (i.e., to the extent vested) under any outstanding Option; or (v) the cancellation of such outstanding Awards without payment of any consideration. Any such payment may be paid in cash or such other consideration payable to the holders of outstanding Shares of the Company in connection with such Corporate Transaction. If vested Awards would be canceled without consideration, the Participant shall have the right, exercisable during the later of the ten-day period ending on the fifth day prior to such Corporate Transaction or ten days after the Administrator provides the grant holder a notice of cancellation, to exercise such Awards in whole or in part without regard to any installment exercise provisions in the Award Agreement. In addition, the Administrator, in its discretion, may provide for acceleration of unvested Awards in connection with any of the alternatives described above.

21

12.4 Issuance of Shares Upon Conversion of Convertible Securities. Each Award Agreement may provide that, upon conversion of any security of the Company into additional Shares, the number of Shares issuable pursuant to any Award may be adjusted by the appropriate number such that the percentage of Shares outstanding of the Company on a fully diluted basis attributable to the Award immediately prior to such conversion will be equal to the percentage of Shares outstanding of the Company on a fully diluted basis attributable to the Award immediately following such conversion.

13. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND AWARDS.

13.1 Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend or terminate the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 12.1 relating to adjustments upon changes in Shares, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the Shareholders of the Company to the extent Shareholder approval is necessary to satisfy any applicable law or any Nasdaq or securities exchange listing requirements. At the time of such amendment, the Board shall determine, upon advice from counsel, whether such amendment will be contingent on Shareholder approval.

13.2 Shareholder Approval. The Board may, in its sole discretion, submit any other amendment to the Plan for Shareholder approval, including, but not limited to, amendments to the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder regarding the exclusion of performance-based compensation from the limit on corporate deductibility of compensation paid to certain executive officers.

13.3 Contemplated Amendments. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to 409A Awards and/or to bring the Plan and/or Awards granted under it into compliance therewith.

13.4 No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan if (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing. However, a cancellation of an Award where the Participant receives a payment equal in value to the Fair Market Value of the vested Award or, in the case of vested Options, the difference between the Fair Market Value and the exercise price, shall not be an impairment of the Participant's rights that requires consent of the Participant.

13.5 Amendment of Awards. The Administrator at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Awards; provided, however, that the Administrator may not effect any amendment which would otherwise constitute an impairment of the rights under any Award unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, the cancellation of an Award where the Participant receives a payment equal in value to the Fair Market Value of the vested Award or, in the case of vested Options, the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Option and the aggregate exercise price, shall not be an impairment of the Participant's rights that requires consent of the Participant.

14. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

14.1 Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to Shareholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

22

14.2 Recapitalizations. Each Option Agreement and Award Agreement shall contain provisions required to reflect the provisions of Section 12.1.

14.3 Delivery. Upon exercise of an Award granted under this Plan, the Company shall issue Shares or pay any amounts due within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Subject to any statutory obligations the Company may otherwise have, for purposes of this Plan, thirty days shall be considered a reasonable period of time.

14.4 Other Provisions. The Option Agreements and Award Agreements authorized under the Plan may contain such other provisions not inconsistent with this Plan, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of the Awards, as the Administrator may deem advisable.

15. MARKET STAND-OFF.

Each Option Agreement and Award Agreement shall provide that, in connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Participant shall agree not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the repurchase of, transfer the economic consequences of ownership or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to any Share without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters, for such period of time from and after the effective date of such registration statement as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters (the "MARKET STAND-OFF"). In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares acquired under this Plan until the end of the applicable stand-off period. If there is any change in the number of outstanding Shares by reason of a Share split, reverse Share split, Share dividend, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any corporate separation or division (including, but not limited to, a split-up, a split-off or a spin-off), a merger or consolidation; a reverse merger or similar transaction, then any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such Shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off.

16. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

The Plan shall become effective as of the Effective Date, but no Award shall be exercised (or, in the case of a Share bonus, shall be granted) unless and until the Plan has been approved by the Shareholders of the Company, which approval shall be within 12 months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

17. TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.

The Plan shall terminate automatically on May 11, 2015, but no later than the day before the 10th anniversary of the Effective Date. No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan after such date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any earlier date pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof. No Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

18. CHOICE OF LAW.

The law of the State of Maryland shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state's conflict of law rules.

19. EXECUTION.

To record the adoption of the Plan by the Board, the Company has caused its authorized officer to execute the Plan as of the date specified below.

Any determination made under this Article II by the Administrator shall be final and conclusive.

2.03 The issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares of obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares that will be issued under the Plan.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION

The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator. The Administrator shall have authority to grant Awards upon such terms (not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan) as the Administrator may consider appropriate. In addition, the Administrator shall have complete authority to construe and interpret all provisions of the Plan and Awards granted hereunder; to adopt, amend, and rescind rules and regulations pertaining to the administration of the Plan, including, but not limited to, correcting any defect or supplying any omission, or reconciling any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Agreement, in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or advisable so that the Plan complies with applicable law, and otherwise to make the Plan fully effective; exercise its discretion with respect to the powers and rights granted to it as set forth in the Plan; except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, allocate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it, which allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time; and generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as are deemed necessary or advisable to promote the best interests of the Company with respect to the Plan. The express grant in the Plan of any specific power to the Administrator shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Administrator. Any decision made, or action taken, by the Administrator in connection with the administration of the Plan shall be final and conclusive. No member of the Administrator shall be liable for any act done in good faith with respect to the Plan. All expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.

ARTICLE IV
OPTIONS

4.01 Grant of Options. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may grant Options to Eligible Directors pursuant to any policy established by the Administrator or upon the occurrence of any event (for example, but not by way of limitation, election of a new director; annual meeting; specific dates chosen by the Administrator, etc.). Options shall be evidenced by an agreement between the Company and the Participant. Subject to the terms of this Plan, each agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms and conditions as the Administrator may, in its discretion, determine.

4.02 Option Price and Payment. The price per Share for Shares purchased on the exercise of an Option shall be the Fair Market Value on the Award Date. Payment of the Option price shall be made in cash, cash equivalent acceptable to the Administrator; attestation of ownership, or delivery, of Shares held by the Participant for at least six (6) months prior to exercise (or such longer or shorter period as may be required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes); or a combination thereof. If Shares are attested to or surrendered in payment of the Option price, the Shares surrendered must have an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the day preceding the exercise date) that, together with any cash or cash equivalent paid, is not less than the Option price for the number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised.

5

4.03 Exercise. To the extent that an Option has become exercisable in accordance with its terms, as applicable, it may be exercised whether or not the Participant is a member of the Board on the date or dates of exercise, as long as the Option has not expired, been cancelled or forfeited. An Option may be exercised with respect to any number of whole Shares less than the full number for which the Option could be exercised. A partial exercise of an Option shall not affect the right to exercise the Option from time to time in accordance with this Plan with respect to the remaining Shares subject to the Option. All Options shall be evidenced by agreements that shall be subject to the applicable provisions of this Plan and to such other provisions as the Administrator may adopt that are consistent with the provisions of the Plan.

4.04 Maximum Option Period. The period during which an Option may be exercised shall be ten years from the Award Date. In the event of the Participant's death, the Option may be exercised by the Participant's estate or by such person or persons who succeed to the Participant's rights by will or the laws of descent and distribution following the Participant's death until the expiration of the Option period, in the case of an Option that provides for its cancellation prior to the end of the Option period, until the date of such cancellation. The Participant's estate or such person or persons may exercise the Option with respect to all or part of the number of Shares for which the Participant could have exercised the Option on the date of his or her death.

4.05 Nontransferability. An Option granted under this Plan shall be nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of the Participant to whom an Option is granted, the Option may be exercised only by the Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative. No right or interest of a Participant in any Option shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant.

4.06 Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to Shares subject to his or her Option until the date of exercise of such Option.

6

4.07 Deferral of Receipt of Shares. The Administrator may from time to time establish procedures pursuant to which a Participant may elect to defer, until a time or times later than the exercise of an Option, receipt of all or a portion of the Shares subject to such Option and/or to receive cash at such later time or times in lieu of such deferred Shares, all on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine. If any such deferrals are permitted, then notwithstanding Section 4.06 above, a Participant who elects such deferral shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to such deferred Shares unless and until Shares are actually delivered to the Participant with respect thereto, except to the extent otherwise determined by the Administrator.

ARTICLE V
SHARE AWARDS

5.01 Grants. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may grant Awards of Shares to Eligible Directors pursuant to any policy established by the Administrator or upon the occurrence of any event (for example, but not by way of limitation, election of a new director; annual meeting; specific dates chosen by the Administrator, etc.).

5.02 Vesting. All Shares issued to a Participant under this Article V shall be immediately and fully vested when granted.

5.03 Transferability. All Shares issued to a Participant under this Article V shall be immediately transferable, subject only to restrictions imposed by federal and state securities and other laws.

5.04 Shareholder Rights. A Participant shall have all rights as a shareholder with respect to Shares awarded pursuant to this Article V.

ARTICLE VI
RESTRICTED STOCK

6.01 Grant. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may grant Awards of Restricted Stock to Eligible Directors pursuant to any policy established by the Administrator or upon the occurrence of any event (for example, but not by way of limitation, election of a new director; annual meeting; specific dates chosen by the Administrator, etc.). Awards of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an agreement between the Company and the Participant. Subject to the terms of this Plan, each agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms and conditions as the Administrator may, in its discretion, determine and (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) such agreements may require that an appropriate legend be placed on Share certificates. Awards of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms and provisions set forth below in this Article VI.

7

6.02 Rights of Participant. Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to an Award hereunder shall be issued in the name of the Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after the Award is granted provided that the Participant has executed an agreement evidencing the Award, the appropriate blank stock powers and, in the discretion of the Administrator, an escrow agreement and any other documents which the Administrator may require as a condition to the issuance of such Shares. If a Participant shall fail to execute the agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Award, the appropriate blank stock powers and, in the discretion of the Administrator, an escrow agreement and any other documents which the Administrator may require within the time period prescribed by the Administrator at the time the Award is granted, the Award shall be null and void. At the discretion of the Administrator, Shares issued in connection with a Restricted Stock Award shall be deposited together with the stock powers with an escrow agent (which may be the Company) designated by the Administrator. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise and as set forth in the agreement, upon delivery of the Shares to the escrow agent, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote the Shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares.

6.03 Non-transferability. Until all restrictions upon the Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall have lapsed in the manner set forth in Section 6.04, such Shares shall not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of and shall not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated, nor shall they be delivered to the Participant.

6.04 Lapse of Restrictions.

(a) Generally. Restrictions upon Shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder shall lapse at such time or times and on such terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine. The agreement evidencing the Award shall set forth any such restrictions.

(b) Modification or Substitution. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator may modify outstanding Awards of Restricted Stock or accept the surrender of outstanding Shares of Restricted Stock (to the extent the restrictions on such Shares have not yet lapsed) and grant new Awards in substitution for them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no modification of an Award shall adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under the agreement without the Participant's consent.

8

(c) Treatment of Dividends. At the time an Award of Shares of Restricted Stock is granted, the Administrator may, in its discretion, determine that the payment to the Participant of dividends, or a specified portion thereof, declared or paid on such Shares by the Company shall be (i) deferred until the lapsing of the restrictions imposed upon such Shares, and (ii) held by the Company for the account of the Participant until such time. In the event that dividends are to be deferred, the Administrator shall determine whether such dividends are to be reinvested in Shares (which shall be held as additional Shares of Restricted Stock) or held in cash. If deferred dividends are to be held in cash, there may be credited at the end of each year (or portion thereof) interest on the amount of the account at the beginning of the year at a rate per annum as the Administrator, in its discretion, may determine. Payment of deferred dividends in respect of Shares of Restricted Stock (whether held in cash or as additional Shares of Restricted Stock), together with interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be made upon the lapsing of restrictions imposed on the Shares in respect of which the deferred dividends were paid, and any dividends deferred (together with any interest accrued thereon) in respect of any Shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited upon the forfeiture of such Shares.

(d) Delivery of Shares. Upon the lapse of the restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock, the Administrator shall cause a stock certificate to be delivered to the Participant with respect to such Shares, free of all restrictions hereunder.

ARTICLE VII
OTHER SHARE-BASED AWARDS

Subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine, other Awards based on the value of Shares may be granted either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. Any Awards under this Article VII and any Shares covered by any such Award may be forfeited to the extent so provided in the Award agreement, as determined by the Committee. Payment of Awards made under this Article VII which are based on the value of Shares may be made in Shares or in cash or in a combination thereof (based upon the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of payment), all as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE VIII
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND APPROVAL OF REGULATORY BODIES

No Shares shall be issued and no certificates for Shares shall be delivered under the Plan except in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations (including, without limitation, the requirement to withhold taxes or other amounts), any listing agreement to which the Company is a party, and the rules of all domestic stock exchanges on which the Company's Shares may be listed. The Company shall have the right to rely on an opinion of its counsel as to such compliance. Any certificate issued to evidence Shares issued under the Plan may bear such legends and statements as the Administrator may deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. No Shares shall be issued and no certificate for Shares shall be delivered under the Plan until the Company has obtained such consent or approval as the Administrator may deem advisable from regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such matters. Upon approval by the Administrator, any withholding requirements arising upon the issuance of Shares under the Plan may be satisfied by the surrender or withholding, at their then current Fair Market Value, of Shares otherwise issuable.

9

ARTICLE IX
GENERAL PROVISIONS

9.01 Unfunded Plan. The Plan, insofar as it provides for Awards, shall be unfunded, and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any person with respect to any Award to be made under the Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created pursuant to the Plan. No such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Company.

9.02 Rules of Construction. Headings are given to the articles and sections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. The reference to any statute, regulation, or other provision of law shall be construed to refer to any amendment to or successor of such provision of law.

9.03 Notice. Unless specifically required by the terms of this Plan, notice to the Company's shareholders, the Participants, or any other person or entity of an action by the Board, the Committee, or the Administrator with respect to the Plan is not required before or after such action occurs.

ARTICLE X
AMENDMENT

The Board may amend from time to time or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no amendment shall become effective without shareholder approval, in accordance with applicable law, regulation: (a) to the extent necessary under any applicable law, regulation or exchange requirement, or (b) if the amendment materially (i) increases the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under this Plan (other than an adjustment authorized under Article II); (ii) changes the class of individuals eligible to become Participants; or (iii) increases the benefits that may be provided under the Plan. In addition; no such amendment or termination shall impair or adversely alter any Awards theretofore granted under the Plan, except with the consent of the Participant, nor shall any amendment or termination deprive any Participant of any Shares which he or she may have acquired through or as a result of the Plan. Awards may be modified by the Administrator provided that no modification of outstanding Award shall adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under the Award without the consent of the Participant.

ARTICLE XI
DURATION OF PLAN

No Awards may be granted under the Plan after the day prior to the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. An Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the expiration of the Plan.

ARTICLE XII
EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN

Shares may be issued under the Plan, provided that the Plan has been approved by a majority of the votes cast by the Company's shareholders, voting either in person or by proxy, at a duly held shareholders' meeting at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding Shares is present, either in person or by proxy.

EXHIBIT 10.21
ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND WAIVER AGREEMENT

This Agreement ("AGREEMENT"), dated December ___, 2005, is entered into by and between Prentiss Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the "COMPANY") and ____________ ("KEY EMPLOYEE").

1. Acknowledgement. Pursuant to the terms of the Prentiss Properties Trust Change in Control Severance Protection Plan for Key Employees (the "PLAN"), Key Employee is eligible to receive benefits set forth in
Section 4.2 of the Plan upon a Qualifying Termination (as it is defined in the Plan) of employment.

2. Waiver of Benefits. Key Employee hereby waives any and all rights which Key Employee has pursuant to the Plan in consideration for the payment of, prior to January 1, 2006, (i) a lump sum amount equal to the amount which Key Employee would have been eligible to receive under Section 4.2(b) of the Plan, plus (ii) a lump sum amount equal to the aggregate sum of all the premiums (both employer and employee portion of such premiums) that would be payable by the Company to provide for the benefits set forth in Section 4.2(c) of the Plan. The total payment amount is listed on Exhibit A of this Agreement.

3. Acceleration of Certain Equity Grants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Qualifying Termination takes place within three years of the date of grant of any award of restricted stock or any option in Brandywine Realty Trust ("BRANDYWINE") which was granted in connection with the merger of the Company with Brandywine (the "MERGER"), then the restrictions with respect to any such grant of restricted stock shall immediately lapse, and any such option granted shall become immediately vested and exercisable.

4. Section 4999 Tax Gross-Up. Article VI of the Plan, relating to Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE"), shall continue to apply in full force and effect as set forth in the Plan.

5. Section 409A Tax Gross-Up.

(a) In the event it shall be determined that the payment of the amounts listed on Exhibit A to this Agreement in 2005 (the "2005 Payments") is or will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 409A of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such payment or excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then Key Employee shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by Key Employee of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including but not limited to, any income tax, employment tax or Excise tax, imposed upon the Gross Up Payment, Key Employee retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax and employment taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income and employment taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of Executive's residence (or, if greater, the state and locality in which Executive is required to file a nonresident income tax return with respect to the Payment) on the date of termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that may be obtained from the deduction of such state and local taxes.


(b) If it is finally determined that any of the Total Payments are subject to Excise Tax any determinations as to the amount of the Gross-Up Payment shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by the Company (the "Accounting Firm"), which shall provide its determination (the "Determination"), together with detailed supporting calculations regarding the amount of any Gross-Up Payment and any other relevant matter, both to the Company and Key Employee by no later than ten (10) days following such final determination, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company or Key Employee (if Key Employee reasonably believes that any of the Total Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). If a Gross-Up Payment is determined to be payable, it shall be paid to Key Employee within twenty (20) days after the Determination (and all accompanying calculations and other material supporting the Determination) is delivered to the Company by the Accounting Firm. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Key Employee, absent manifest error.

(c) If a claim by a federal, state or local taxing authority is made against Key Employee, and if Key Employee intends to seek a Gross-Up Payment with respect thereto under this Section, Key Employee shall promptly notify (i) the Company in writing of such claims, setting forth such claims in reasonable detail and providing copies of any written documentation provided by the taxing authority in connection with its claims. The Company shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and Key Employee shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided, that Key Employee may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by Key Employee and paid at his own expense. So long as the Company is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith, Key Employee shall not pay or settle any such claim without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Company does not notify Key Employee in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Company's written notice of a claim to a Gross-Up Payment hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, Key Employee shall have the right to undertake, at the Company's cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of the claim, but shall not thereby waive any right to a Gross-Up Payment therefore pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall pay Key Employee's expenses as and when incurred.

6. Applicable Law. This Acknowledgment and Waiver will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

7. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties to this Acknowledgment and Waiver and, except to the extent the Company is affected hereby, should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claims or actions or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Any continued rights and benefits the Executive may have under employee benefit plans and programs of the Company upon such a termination, if any, shall be determined in accordance with the terms of such plans and programs provided however, that the Executive, including his immediate, family shall be able to

6

continue to participate in the Company's medical/health insurance or coverage program with the same level of benefits as he was entitled to receive immediately prior to the time of termination, but the Executive shall bear all costs of such medical/health insurance or coverage.

For the same three-year period (except in the case of death), the Executive shall be entitled to retain, at the Company's expense, his current office or a similar office and a secretary. The coverage and benefits (including deductibles, costs and contributions by the Executive, if any) provided under this Paragraph 8 of Section B shall be no less favorable to the Executive and his Dependents than the most favorable of such coverage and benefits provided the Executive and his Dependents during the 90-day period immediately prior to such death, disability or termination. The obligation under this Paragraph 8 of
Section B with respect to the foregoing benefits shall be limited if the Executive obtains any such benefits pursuant to a subsequent employer's benefit plans, in which case the Company may reduce or eliminate the coverage and benefits it is required to provide the Executive hereunder as long as the aggregate coverage and benefits of the combined benefit plans is no less favorable to the Executive than the coverage and benefits required to be provided hereunder. Any continued rights and benefits that the Executive, or the Executive's estate or other legal representatives, may have under employee benefit plans and programs of the Company upon such death, disability or termination shall be determined in accordance with the terms and provisions of such plans and programs, except as provided in this Paragraph 8. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the Executive has received, or is entitled to receive, the payments under Paragraph 9 of Section B, no payments or benefits shall be payable under this Paragraph 8. Any period during which benefits are continued pursuant to this Paragraph 8 of Section B shall be considered to be in satisfaction of the Company's obligation to provide "continuation coverage" pursuant to Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the period of coverage under Section 4980B shall be reduced by the period during which benefits are provided pursuant to this Paragraph 8 of Section B.

7

9. Change in Control. Within fifteen (15) days of a Change in Control, the Company shall pay Executive a lump sum payment of $3,500,000 if a Change in Control occurs in 2004.

The obligation under this Paragraph 9 of Section B with respect to the foregoing benefits shall be limited if the Executive obtains any such benefits pursuant to a subsequent employer's benefit plans, in which case the Company may reduce or eliminate the coverage and benefits it is required to provide the Executive hereunder as long as the aggregate coverage and benefits of the combined benefit plans is no less favorable to the Executive than the coverage and benefits required to be provided hereunder.

limited if the Executive obtains any such benefits pursuant to a subsequent employer's benefit plans, in which case the Company may reduce or eliminate the coverage and benefits it is required to provide the Executive hereunder as long as the aggregate coverage and benefits of the combined benefit plans is no less favorable to the Executive than the coverage and benefits required to be provided hereunder. Any continued rights and benefits that the Executive, or the Executive's estate or other legal representatives, may have under employee benefit plans and programs of the Company upon the expiration of the Employment Term shall be determined in accordance with the terms and provisions of such plans and programs, except as provided in this Paragraph 10. Any period during which benefits are continued pursuant to this Paragraph 10 of Section B shall be considered to be in satisfaction of the Company's obligation to provide "continuation coverage" pursuant to Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the period of coverage under Section 4980B shall be reduced by the period during which benefits are provided pursuant to this Paragraph 10 of Section B.

11. Gross-Up Payment.

(a) In the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution of any type to or for the benefit of the Executive, by the Company, any Affiliate, any person who acquires ownership or effective control of the Company or ownership of a substantial portion of the Company's assets (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations thereunder) or any Affiliate of such person, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to any of the terms of this Third Restated Agreement or otherwise (the "Total Payments"), is or will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any income tax, employment tax or Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments.

(b) All mathematical determinations, and all determinations as to whether any of the Total Payments are "parachute payments" (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), that are required to be made under this subparagraph (b), including determinations as to whether a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and amounts relevant to the last sentence of this subparagraph (b), shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by the Executive from among the five (5) largest accounting firms in the United States (the "Accounting Firm"), which shall provide its determination (the "Determination"), together with detailed supporting calculations regarding the amount of any Gross-Up Payment and any other relevant matter, both to the Company and the Executive by no later than ten (10) days following the Change in Control, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company or the Executive (if the Executive reasonably believes that any of the Total Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive and the Company with a written statement that such Accounting Firm has concluded that no Excise Tax is payable (including the reasons therefor) and that the Executive has substantial authority not to

9

report any Excise Tax on his federal income tax return. If a Gross-Up Payment is determined to be payable, it shall be paid to the Executive within twenty (20) days after the Determination (and all accompanying calculations and other material supporting the Determination) is delivered to the Company by the Accounting Firm. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive, absent manifest error. As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments not made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"), or that Gross-Up Payments will have been made by the Company which should not have been made ("Overpayments"). In either such event, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment or Overpayment that has occurred. In the case of an Underpayment, the amount of such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive. In the case of an Overpayment, the Executive shall, at the direction and expense of the Company, take such steps as are reasonably necessary (including the filing of returns and claims for refund), follow reasonable instructions from, and procedures established by, the Company, and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Company to correct such Overpayment, provided, however, that (i) the Executive shall not in any event be obligated to return to the Company an amount greater than the net after-tax portion of the Overpayment that he has retained or has recovered as a refund from the applicable taxing authorities and (ii) this provision shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the intent of this Paragraph 11 of Section B, which is to make the Executive whole, on an after-tax basis, from the application of the Excise Tax, it being understood that the correction of an Overpayment may result in the Executive repaying to the Company an amount which is less than the Overpayment.

C. AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE.

Except as explicitly provided herein, the Executive agrees, for the entire Employment Term and, if applicable, the entire Noncompetition Period, to the following covenants, effective within the United States:

1. Competitive Activity Restriction. Executive, personally or through any Affiliate of Executive, shall not conduct any Competitive Activity other than through the Company, unless a majority of the Board, which majority must include a majority of the Independent Trustees, have determined that such Competitive Activity will not have a material adverse effect on the operations of any Office or Industrial Property that the Company either owns or has a right to acquire. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Third Restated Agreement, the Executive agrees that, during the time he is employed by the Company, the Executive shall present to the Company all opportunities that arise to engage in Competitive Activities.

10

2. No Beneficial Ownership. Executive shall not beneficially own directly or indirectly any beneficial interest in any entity engaged in any Competitive Activity other than the Company, except for (i) any interest in a company traded on a nationally recognized public securities exchange (including The NASDAQ National Market), provided such interest does not exceed five percent of the outstanding capital stock of such company, and (ii) the Executive's 6% limited partnership interest in the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Building in Baltimore Maryland.

3. Loans. Executive shall not directly or indirectly make any loan to, or hold any note evidencing a loan from, any entity engaged in any Competitive Activity.

4. Competitive Entity. Executive shall not be a director or trustee, officer, or employee of, or consultant to (whether for compensation or not) any entity engaged in any Competitive Activity.

5. Notification to Independent Trustees. If Executive or any Affiliate of Executive desires to engage in any Competitive Activity, Executive shall describe fully the proposed activity in a written notice (the "Disclosure Notice") to the Company and the Independent Trustees. A Disclosure Notice shall only pertain to a specific proposed project and the referenced proposed project shall be described therein with specificity as to timing, location, scope and the extent of Executive's involvement, financially and in terms of his time commitment. A Disclosure Notice may not request approval for any conceptual or non-project specific activity or for any activity that is prohibited by this Third Restated Agreement.

D. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

1. Notices. All notices or deliveries authorized or required pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given when in writing and when (i) deposited in the U.S. mail, certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (ii) otherwise delivered by hand or by overnight delivery, against written receipt, by a common carrier or commercial courier or delivery service addressed to the parties at the following addresses or to such other addresses as either may designate in writing to the other party:

The Executive shall be able to participate in the Company's benefit plans or the benefit plans of any successor or assign, including but not limited to any deferred compensation plans, after any Change in Control if he is retained as trustee, consultant or otherwise.

2. Post Continuation Period Benefits. The Executive shall have the right, in his sole discretion, to extend the medical, vision, dental, health and prescription drugs insurance benefits provided under the Employment Agreement after the expiration of the Continuation Period for an indefinite period of time; provided, however, the Company will not bear the premiums related to such insurance after the expiration of the Continuation Period, but the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the group rate or otherwise to negotiate a low rate for participation in such insurance for the Executive.

3. Offices. Paragraph 8 and 9 of Section B of the Employment Agreement provide that the Executive shall be entitled to retain his current or a similar office during the Continuation Period. The Executive's current office, conference room and staff offices have the dimensions specified in Schedule B attached hereto.

The Executive may use the Company Aircraft for any purpose whatsoever during the Continuation Period, including any personal, business or other uses, including but not limited to vacations and business meetings unrelated to the Company; provided, however, that the Executive shall reimburse the Company for his use of the Company Aircraft at the per flight hour rate equal to $2,435.00, as adjusted each January 1 of the greater of (i) 3.75% or (ii) the "Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers--U.S City average," as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Executive shall have the right to purchase the Company's right to use the Company Aircraft upon the expiration of the Continuation Period upon the payment of $100,000.

11. Section 409A Tax Gross-Up.

(a) In the event it shall be determined that the payment of the amounts referred to in Section 1 and Section 2 herein in 2005 (the "2005 PAYMENTS") is or will be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any interest or penalties with respect to such payment or excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are collectively referred to as the "EXCISE TAX"), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "GROSS-UP PAYMENT") in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including but not limited to, any income tax, employment tax or Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the 2005 Payments. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax and employment taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income and employment taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive's residence (or, if greater, the state and locality in which the Executive is required to file a nonresident income tax return with respect to the 2005 Payment) on the date of termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that may be obtained from the deduction of such state and local taxes.

(b) If it is finally determined that any of the 2005 Payments are subject to Excise Tax any determinations as to the amount of the Gross-Up Payment shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by the Company (the "ACCOUNTING FIRM"), which shall provide its determination (the "DETERMINATION"), together with detailed supporting calculations regarding the amount of any Gross-Up Payment and any other relevant matter, both to the Company and the Executive by no later than ten (10) days following such final determination, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company or the Executive (if the Executive reasonably believes that any of the 2005 Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). If a Gross-Up Payment is determined to be payable, it shall be paid to the Executive within twenty (20) days after the Determination (and all accompanying calculations and other material supporting the Determination) is delivered to the Company by the Accounting Firm. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive, absent manifest error.

3

(c) If a claim by a federal, state or local taxing authority is made against the Executive, and if the Executive intends to seek a Gross-Up Payment with respect thereto under this Section, the Executive shall promptly notify (i) the Company in writing of such claims, setting forth such claims in reasonable detail and providing copies of any written documentation provided by the taxing authority in connection with its claims. The Company shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Executive shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided, that the Executive may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Executive and paid at his own expense. So long as the Company is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith, the Executive shall not pay or settle any such claim without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Company does not notify the Executive in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Company's written notice of a claim to a Gross-Up Payment hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Executive shall have the right to undertake, at the Company's cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of the claim, but shall not thereby waive any right to a Gross-Up Payment therefore pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall pay the Executive's expenses as and when incurred.

6. Termination in Case of Death or Disability. In case of the Executive's death or permanent disability (defined as complete physical or mental inability, confirmed by a licensed physician, to perform substantially all of the services described herein that continues for a period of 180 consecutive days), the Company may elect to terminate the Executive pursuant to the terms of Section B, Paragraph 8 hereof.

The coverage and benefits (including deductibles, costs and contributions by the Executive, if any) provided under this Paragraph 8 of Section B shall be no less favorable to the Executive and his dependents and beneficiaries than the most favorable of such coverage and benefits provided the Executive and his dependents and beneficiaries during the 90-day period immediately prior to such death, disability or termination. The obligation under this Paragraph 8 of
Section B with respect to the foregoing benefits shall be limited if the Executive obtains any such benefits pursuant to a subsequent employer's benefit plans, in which case the Company may reduce or eliminate the coverage and benefits it is required to provide the Executive hereunder as long as the aggregate coverage and benefits of the combined benefit plans is no less favorable to the Executive than the coverage and benefits required to be provided hereunder. Any continued rights and benefits that the Executive, or the Executive's estate or other legal representatives, may have under employee benefit plans and programs of the Company upon such death, disability or termination shall be determined in accordance with the terms and provisions of such plans and programs. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the Executive has received, or is entitled to receive, the payments under Paragraph 9 of Section B, no payments or benefits shall be payable under this Paragraph 8. Any period during which benefits are continued pursuant to this Paragraph 8 of Section B shall be considered to be in satisfaction of the Company's obligation to provide "continuation coverage" pursuant to Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the period of coverage under Section 4980B shall be reduced by the period during which benefits are provided pursuant to this Paragraph 8 of Section B.

-7-

9. Change in Control. Within fifteen (15) days of a Change in Control, the Company shall pay Executive a lump sum payment that equals three times the sum of (i) the Executive's then-current annual base salary, and (ii) the average of: (x) the Executive's pro forma annual cash bonus as calculated for the year 2000 and (y) the current value of the long-term incentives earned in the two years prior to the Change in Control.

The coverage and benefits (including deductibles, costs and contributions by the Executive, if any) provided under this Paragraph 9 of Section B shall be no less favorable to the Executive and his dependents and beneficiaries than the most favorable of such coverage and benefits provided the Executive and his dependents and beneficiaries during the 90-day period immediately prior to the Change in Control or as of any date following the Change in Control but preceding the Executive's resignation. The obligation under this Paragraph 9 of
Section B with respect to the foregoing benefits shall be limited if the Executive obtains any such benefits pursuant to a subsequent employer's benefit plans, in which case the Company may reduce or eliminate the coverage and benefits it is required to provide the Executive hereunder as long as the aggregate coverage and benefits of the combined benefit plans is no less favorable to the Executive than the coverage and benefits required to be provided hereunder. Any period during which benefits are continued pursuant to this Paragraph 9 of Section B shall be considered to be in satisfaction of the Company's obligation to provide "continuation coverage" pursuant to Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the period of coverage under Section 4980B shall be reduced by the period during which benefits are provided pursuant to this Paragraph 9 of Section B.

10. Gross-Up Payment.

(a) In the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution of any type to or for the benefit of the Executive, by the Company, any Affiliate, any person who acquires ownership or effective control of the Company or ownership of a substantial portion of the Company's assets (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations thereunder) or any Affiliate of such person, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to any of the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (the "Total Payments"), is or will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any income tax, employment tax or Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments.

(b) All mathematical determinations, and all determinations as to whether any of the Total Payments are "parachute payments" (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), that are required to be made under this Subparagraph (b), including determinations as to whether a Gross--Up Payment is required, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and amounts relevant to the last sentence of this Subparagraph (b), shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by the Executive from among the five (5) largest accounting firms in the United States (the "Accounting Firm"), which shall provide its determination (the "Determination"), together with detailed supporting calculations regarding the amount of any Gross-Up Payment and any other relevant matter, both to the Company and the Executive by no later than ten (10) days following the Change in Control, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company or the Executive (if the Executive reasonably believes that any of the Total Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). If the Accounting Firm

-8-

determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive and the Company with a written statement that such Accounting Firm has concluded that no Excise Tax is payable (including the reasons therefor) and that the Executive has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on his federal income tax return. If a Gross-Up Payment is determined to be payable, it shall be paid to the Executive within twenty (20) days after the Determination (and all accompanying calculations and other material supporting the Determination) is delivered to the Company by the Accounting Firm. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive, absent manifest error. As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments not made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"), or that Gross-Up Payments will have been made by the Company which should not have been made ("Overpayments"). In either such event, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment or Overpayment that has occurred. In the case of an Underpayment, the amount of such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive. In the case of an Overpayment, the Executive shall, at the direction and expense of the Company, take such steps as are reasonably necessary (including the filing of returns and claims for refund), follow reasonable instructions from, and procedures established by, the Company, and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Company to correct such Overpayment, provided, however, that (1) the Executive shall not in any event be obligated to return to the Company an amount greater than the net after-tax portion of the Overpayment that he has retained or has recovered as a refund from the applicable taxing authorities and (ii) this provision shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the intent of this Paragraph 10 of Section B, which is to make the Executive whole, on an after-tax basis, from the application of the Excise Tax, it being understood that the correction of an Overpayment may result in the Executive repaying to the Company an amount which is less than the Overpayment.

C. AGREEMENT NOT TO COMPETE.

Except as explicitly provided herein, the Executive agrees, for the entire Employment Term and, if applicable, the entire Noncompetition Period, to the following covenants, effective within the United States:

1. Competitive Activity Restriction. Executive, personally or through any Affiliate of Executive, shall not conduct any Competitive Activity other than through the Company, unless a majority of the Board, which majority must include a majority of the Independent Trustees, have determined that such Competitive Activity will not have a material adverse effect on the operations of any Office or Industrial Property that the Company either owns or has a right to acquire. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Executive agrees that, during the time he is employed by the Company, the Executive shall present to the Company all opportunities that arise to engage in Competitive Activities.

-9-

2. No Beneficial Ownership. Executive shall not beneficially own directly or indirectly any beneficial interest in any entity engaged in any Competitive Activity other than the Company, except for any interest in a company traded on a nationally recognized public securities exchange (including The NASDAQ National Market), provided such interest does not exceed five percent of the outstanding capital stock of such company.

3. Loans. Executive shall not directly or indirectly make any loan to, or hold any note evidencing a loan from, any entity engaged in any Competitive Activity.

4. Competitive Entity. Executive shall not be a director or trustee, officer, or employee of, or consultant to (whether for compensation or not) any entity engaged in any Competitive Activity.

5. Notification to Independent Trustees. If Executive or any Affiliate of Executive desires to engage in any Competitive Activity, Executive shall describe fully the proposed activity in a written notice (the "Disclosure Notice") to the Company and the Independent Trustees. A Disclosure Notice shall only pertain to a specific proposed project and the referenced proposed project shall be described therein with specificity as to timing, location, scope and the extent of Executive's involvement, financially and in terms of his time commitment. A Disclosure Notice may not request approval for any conceptual or non--project specific activity or for any activity that is prohibited by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Executive shall not be required by the terms of this Agreement to violate any fiduciary duty existing on the date hereof that he owes to a third party.

13. Further Assurances. The parties to this Agreement will execute and deliver or cause the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents and will take such other actions as any other party to the Agreement may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose of this Agreement and to carry out the terms hereof.

2. Post Continuation Period Benefits.

9. Applicable Law. This Amendment will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

10. Titles and Headings. Titles and headings to sections and paragraphs in this Amendment are inserted for reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Amendment.

11. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Amendment is solely for the benefit of the parties to this Amendment and, except to the extent the Company is affected hereby, should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claims or actions or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Amendment.

12. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together constitute one and the same instrument.

13. Severability. Any provision of this Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without prejudice to any rights or remedies otherwise available to any party to this Amendment, each party hereto acknowledges that the obligations of the parties hereto shall be specifically enforceable.

3

14. Further Assurances. The parties hereto will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such further instruments and documents and will take such other actions as any other party to this Amendment may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose of this Amendment and the Employment Agreement and to carry out the terms thereof.

SECOND AMENDMENT
TO THE
AMENDED AND RESTATED

11. Section 409A Tax Gross-Up.

(a) In the event it shall be determined that the payment of the amounts referred to in Section 1 and Section 2 herein in 2005 (the "2005 PAYMENTS") is or will be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any interest or penalties with respect to such payment or excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are collectively referred to as the "EXCISE TAX"), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "GROSS-UP PAYMENT") in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including but not limited to, any income tax, employment tax or Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the 2005 Payments. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax and employment taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income and employment taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive's residence (or, if greater, the state and locality in which the Executive is required to file a nonresident income tax return with respect to the 2005 Payment) on the date of termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that may be obtained from the deduction of such state and local taxes.

(b) If it is finally determined that any of the 2005 Payments are subject to Excise Tax any determinations as to the amount of the Gross-Up Payment shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by the Company (the "ACCOUNTING FIRM"), which shall provide its determination (the "DETERMINATION"), together with detailed supporting calculations regarding the amount of any Gross-Up Payment and any other relevant matter, both to the Company and the Executive by no later than ten (10) days following such final determination, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company or the Executive (if the Executive reasonably believes that any of the 2005 Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). If a Gross-Up Payment is determined to be payable, it shall be paid to the Executive within twenty (20) days after the Determination (and all accompanying calculations and other material supporting the Determination) is delivered to the Company by the Accounting Firm. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive, absent manifest error.

3

(c) If a claim by a federal, state or local taxing authority is made against the Executive, and if the Executive intends to seek a Gross-Up Payment with respect thereto under this Section, the Executive shall promptly notify (i) the Company in writing of such claims, setting forth such claims in reasonable detail and providing copies of any written documentation provided by the taxing authority in connection with its claims. The Company shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Executive shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided, that the Executive may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Executive and paid at his own expense. So long as the Company is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith, the Executive shall not pay or settle any such claim without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Company does not notify the Executive in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Company's written notice of a claim to a Gross-Up Payment hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Executive shall have the right to undertake, at the Company's cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of the claim, but shall not thereby waive any right to a Gross-Up Payment therefore pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall pay the Executive's expenses as and when incurred.

The Specified Assets Purchase Price, as adjusted as provided herein, shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wiring instructions provided by Operating Partnership to Prudential in writing not less than two (2) business days prior to the Specified Assets Closing Date.

Section 5. Prorations and Adjustments.

If the Specified Assets Closing occurs before the tax rate or assessed valuation for a Specified Asset or the Joint Venture Owned Property, as the case may be, is fixed for the then current tax year, apportionment of taxes and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of the tax rate for the preceding year applied to the latest assessed respective valuation of the applicable Specified Asset or the Joint Venture Owned Property, as applicable, and when the tax rate and assessed valuations are fixed for the tax year in which the Specified Assets Closing occurs, Operating Partnership and the applicable Transferee hereby agree to adjust the proration of taxes hereunder and, if necessary, to refund or pay such sums to the other party as shall be necessary to effect such adjustment.

Rents or other reimbursements due landlord under the Leases affecting Specified Assets not collected as of the Specified Assets Closing Date shall not be prorated at the time of the Specified Assets Closing, but each applicable Transferee shall make a good faith effort (which shall not include bringing legal action against a tenant) to collect the same on the applicable Seller's behalf and to tender the same to Operating Partnership upon receipt (which obligation of such Transferee shall survive the Specified Assets Closing and not be merged therein for a period of four (4) months); provided, however, that all rents, escalations and other reimbursements due landlord under the Leases affecting its Specified Assets collected by a Transferee on or after the Specified Assets Closing Date, less the reasonable costs of collection, shall first be applied to all amounts due under the Leases affecting its Specified Assets at the time of collection (i.e., current rents and sums due such Transferee as the current owner and landlord) with the balance (if any) payable to Operating Partnership, but only to the extent of amounts delinquent and actually due to Operating Partnership. The owner of the Joint Venture Interest and the Transferee thereof shall treat rents and other reimbursements due landlord under the Leases affecting the Joint Venture Owned Property on a similar basis in accordance with their interests.

(d) Leasing Expenses. At the Specified Assets Closing, each Property Owner shall receive a credit (an upward adjustment) with respect to the Specified Assets Purchase Price for any obligations for (i) brokerage commissions or finders' fees and (ii) tenant improvement allowances, in each case, incurred by such Property Owner in entering into Leases affecting its Specified Assets, that were executed on or after October 3, 2005, and (iii) reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses actually incurred by such Property Owner in entering into Leases affecting its Specified Assets which were executed

4

on or after October 3, 2005, and with respect to Leases not reflected on Schedule K, as and to the extent that such legal fees, costs and expenses were expressly approved by Prudential in connection with its approval of such Lease. In addition, the applicable Transferee shall be responsible to pay any brokerage commissions which are due and payable subsequent to the Specified Assets Closing Date in connection with any renewal or expansion of a Lease affecting its Specified Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Property Owner shall receive a credit at the Specified Assets Closing, or otherwise be entitled to any reimbursement at any other time, for any obligations for (i) brokerage commissions or finders' fees, (ii) tenant improvement allowances incurred by such Property Owner in entering into any Leases affecting its Specified Assets that were executed prior to October 3, 2005, or (iii) legal fees, costs or expenses not described in item (iii) of the first sentence of this subsection

The Joint Venture Interest Owner and the Transferee thereof shall prorate any brokerage commissions, finder's fees, tenant improvement allowances, and legal fees attributable to the Joint Venture Owned Property on a similar basis to that described in this subsection (d) in accordance with their interests.

(e) Operating Expenses. Operating expenses, including, without limitation, interest on debt assumed by a Transferee, for the Specified Assets and the Joint Venture Owned Property shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Specified Assets Closing Date. Each Property Owner shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable to its Specified Assets to, but not including, the Specified Assets Closing Date, and each Transferee shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses attributable to its Specified Assets on or after the Specified Assets Closing Date. The Joint Venture Interest Owner and its Transferee shall prorate utility charges and operating expenses attributable to the Joint Venture Owned Property on a similar basis in accordance with their interests. To the extent that the amount of actual consumption of any utility services is not determined prior to the Specified Assets Closing Date, a proration shall be made at the Specified Assets Closing based on the last available reading and post-closing adjustments between each Property Owner or the Joint Venture Interest Owner and the applicable Transferee and thereafter a final proration shall be made as described below in subsection (g). No Property Owner shall assign to any Transferee any deposits which such Property Owner has with any of the utility services or companies servicing the Specified Assets. Each Transferee shall arrange with such services and companies to have accounts opened in its name beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the Specified Assets Closing Date.

Each Transferee shall be entitled to receive a credit against the Specified Assets Purchase Price at the Specified Assets Closing in an amount equal to the amount of capital expenditures, tenant improvement work and other similar expenses which were budgeted to be spent by the applicable Property Owner prior to the Specified Assets Closing Date pursuant to Schedule 5.01 of the Merger Agreement in the event that each of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) such budgeted capital expenditures, tenant improvement work and other similar expenses were not expended by the applicable Seller in accordance with Schedule 5.01 to the Merger Agreement, (ii) the work contemplated by the applicable line item in Schedule 5.01 to the Merger

5

Agreement was not completed as of the Specified Assets Closing Date to Prudential's satisfaction, and (iii) Prudential has not received an explanation satisfactory to Prudential as to why such work has not been completed as of the Specified Assets Closing Date. The Joint Venture Interest Owner and the Transferee thereof shall prorate any such capital expenditures, tenant improvement work and other similar expenses attributable to the Joint Venture Owned Property on a similar basis to that described in this subsection (f) in accordance with their interests.

(g) Post Closing True Up. The parties agree that all of the prorations required by this Section 5 are, based on the information available to the parties as of Specified Assets Closing Date, as set forth on Schedule K attached hereto. Notwithstanding that agreement, for a period of sixty (60) days following the Specified Assets Closing Date (the "POST CLOSING ADJUSTMENT PERIOD"), each Property Owner, Joint Venture Interest Owner, and each Transferee shall promptly notify each other in the event that such party obtains knowledge that the amount of an item listed in any section of this Section 5 or any estimate thereof as of the Specified Assets Closing Date has proven to be incorrect (whether as a result of an error in calculation or a lack of complete and accurate information as of the Specified Assets Closing Date). In such event, the Property Owner, Joint Venture Interest Owner, and each Transferee with knowledge of the error shall provide the other parties with notice and reasonable evidence of such error, and the party owing money as a result of such error or adjustment shall thereafter promptly pay to the party owed money as a result of such error or adjustment the sum necessary to correct such error or make such adjustment. Without limiting the foregoing, during the Post Closing Adjustment Period, each Transferee shall have the opportunity to request reasonable evidence that work required by Section 5.01 to the Merger Agreement applicable to its Specified Assets and listed on Schedule K as "Projects Completed" have actually been completed to Transferee's reasonable satisfaction.

Further, neither Operating Partnership nor Other Seller exercises discretionary authority, control, responsibility or influence with respect to the investment of assets of the Virginia Retirement System, the PRISA II 10% Plan in Prudential Property Investment Separate Account II ("PRISA II") or a PRISA III 10% Plan in Prudential Property Investment Separate Account III ("PRISA III") or has discretionary authority, control, responsibility or influence with respect to the management or disposition of the assets of the Virginia Retirement System, the PRISA II 10% Plan held in PRISA II or a PRISA III 10% Plan held in PRISA III. For purposes hereof, (i) "PRISA II 10% PLAN" shall mean the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System, and (ii) "PRISA III 10% PLANS" shall mean (A) the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits of the United Methodists Church incorporated in Missouri as trustee of certain benefit and pension plans of

9

the United Methodists Church, (B) STA-ILA of Baltimore Pension Fund, and (C) the New York State Teachers' Retirement System.

(c) Neither Operating Partnership nor Other Seller is an employee pension benefit plan subject to the provisions of Title IV of ERISA or subject to the minimum funding standards under Part 3, Subtitle B, Title I of ERISA or Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 302 of ERISA. None of Operating Partnership's or Other Seller's assets constitute assets of any employee benefit plan subject to Part 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code. Neither Operating Partnership nor Other Seller is a "governmental plan" within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and none of the Specified Assets or the Joint Venture Owned Property is subject to State statutes regulating the investments of and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans.

(d) The transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Master Agreement are exempt from any requirement to make any filings under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the implementing regulations thereto, 16 C.F.R. parts 801-803, because Operating Partnership and Other Seller have determined that the aggregate fair market value of the non-exempt assets constituting a portion of the Specified Assets of Operating Partnership and Other Seller and the entities controlled by Operating Partnership or Other Seller is less than $53,100,000.

Section 11. Consent Required Outstanding Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at all times prior to the Specified Assets Closing Date, Operating Partnership and Other Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent to the assumption of each Consent Required Outstanding Indebtedness by the applicable Transferee from each holder thereof and any other necessary party thereto (each, a "REQUIRED DEBT CONSENT"). Neither Operating Partnership nor Other Seller shall have any obligation to pay any assumption fee or other amount due to any holder of any Consent Required Outstanding Indebtedness in order to obtain a Required Debt Consent. Each Required Debt Consent so obtained shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Prudential. Operating Partnership and Other Seller agree that they shall not modify or permit to be modified any term of the Consent Required Outstanding Indebtedness without Prudential's prior consent. If Operating Partnership or Other Seller is not released from any obligations under a non-recourse carve-outs guaranty pursuant to a Required Debt Consent, Prudential shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Operating Partnership and/or Other Seller from any and all liability under such guaranty first arising from and after such time as Prudential or the applicable Transferee becomes the borrower thereunder.

Section 12. Closing Costs. Prudential shall pay or cause to be paid all transfer and similar taxes and fees associated with the direct one (1) time transfer of the Fee Owned Properties and Joint Venture Interest to each Transferee pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement and this Agreement. Seller expressly retains all liability for all transfer and similar taxes and fees other than those described in the preceding sentence. Each of Operating Partnership, Other Seller and Prudential shall pay their own legal fees and expenses associated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This
Section 12 shall survive the Specified Assets Closing.

Section 13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable conflict or choice or law rules.

Section 14. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law, or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that such transactions are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

Section 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

Section 16. Entire Agreement; No Third Party Counterparts. This Agreement (including any exhibits and schedules hereto), taken together with the Merger Agreement and the Master Agreement (a) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 17. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties, except as expressly permitted herein. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns

EXHIBIT 99.1

RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to various risks, including those described below. You should carefully consider the following risks, together with all of the other information included in this document and incorporated by reference before deciding to invest in our securities. Any of these risks could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

OUR PERFORMANCE IS SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR PROPERTIES AND

WITH THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY.

Our economic performance and the value of our real estate assets, and consequently the value of our securities, are subject to the risk that if our properties do not generate revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, our cash flow and ability to pay distributions to our shareholders will be adversely affected. Events or conditions beyond our control that may adversely affect our operations or the value of our properties include:

o downturns in the national, regional and local economic climate;

o competition from other office, industrial and commercial buildings;

o local real estate market conditions, such as oversupply or reduction in demand for office, or other commercial or industrial space;

o changes in interest rates and availability of financing;

o vacancies, changes in market rental rates and the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-lease space;

o increased operating costs, including insurance expense, utilities, real estate taxes, state and local taxes and heightened security costs;

o civil disturbances, earthquakes and other natural disasters, or terrorist acts or acts of war which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses;

o significant expenditures associated with each investment, such as debt service payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs which are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in revenues from a property; and

o declines in the financial condition of our tenants and our ability to collect rents from our tenants.

WE MAY EXPERIENCE INCREASED OPERATING COSTS, WHICH MIGHT REDUCE OUR

PROFITABILITY.

Our properties are subject to increases in operating expenses such as for cleaning, electricity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, administrative costs and other costs associated with security, landscaping and repairs and maintenance of our properties. In general, under our leases with tenants, we pass on all or a portion of these costs to them. We cannot assure you, however, that tenants will actually bear the full burden of these higher costs, or that such increased costs will not lead them, or other prospective tenants, to seek office space elsewhere. If operating expenses increase, the availability of other comparable office space in our core geographic markets might limit our ability to increase rents; if operating expenses increase without a corresponding increase in revenues, our profitability could diminish and limit our ability to make distributions to shareholders.


OUR INVESTMENT IN PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT OR REDEVELOPMENT MAY BE MORE

COSTLY THAN WE ANTICIPATE.

We intend to continue to develop properties where market conditions warrant such investment. Once made, these investments may not produce results in accordance with our expectations. Risks associated with our development and construction activities include:

o the unavailability of favorable financing alternatives in the private and public debt markets;

o construction costs exceeding original estimates due to rising interest rates and increases in the costs of materials and labor;

o construction and lease-up delays resulting in increased debt service, fixed expenses and construction or renovation costs;

o expenditure of funds and devotion of management's time to projects that we do not complete;

o occupancy rates and rents at newly completed properties may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, resulting in lower than projected rental rates and a corresponding lower return on our investment; and

o complications (including building moratoriums and anti-growth legislation) in obtaining necessary zoning, occupancy and other governmental permits.

WE FACE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS.

We have in the past acquired, and intend in the future to acquire, properties and portfolios of properties, including large portfolios, such as the our acquisition of Prentiss Properties Trust, that would increase our size and potentially alter our capital structure. Although we believe that the acquisitions that we have completed in the past and that we expect to undertake in the future have, and will, enhance our future financial performance, the success of such transactions is subject to a number of factors, including the risk that:

o we may not be able to obtain financing for acquisitions on favorable terms;

o acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;

o the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than our estimates;

o acquired properties may be located in new markets where we may have limited knowledge and understanding of the local economy, an absence of business relationships in the area or unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures; and

o we may not be able to efficiently integrate acquired properties, particularly portfolios of properties, into our organization and to manage new properties in a way that allows us to realize cost savings and synergies.


ACQUIRED PROPERTIES MAY SUBJECT US TO UNKNOWN LIABILITIES.

Properties that we acquire may be subject to unknown liabilities for which we would have no recourse, or only limited recourse, to the former owners of such properties. As a result, if a liability were asserted against us based upon ownership of an acquired property, we might be required to pay significant sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our financial results and cash flow. Unknown liabilities relating to acquired properties could include:

o liabilities for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination;

o claims by tenants, vendors or other persons arising on account of actions or omissions of the former owners of the properties; and

o liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business.

WE HAVE AGREED NOT TO SELL CERTAIN OF OUR PROPERTIES.

We have agreed not to sell several of our properties for varying periods of time, in transactions that would trigger taxable income to our former owners, and we may enter into similar arrangements as a part of future property acquisitions. One of these tax protection agreements is with one of our current trustees. These agreements generally provide that we may dispose of the subject properties only in transactions that qualify as tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code or in other tax deferred transactions. Such transactions can be difficult to complete and can result in the property acquired in exchange for the disposed of property inheriting the tax attributes (including tax protection covenants) of the disposed of property. Violation of these tax protection agreements would impose significant costs on us. As a result, we are restricted with respect to decisions with respect to financing, encumbering, expanding or selling of these properties.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO RENEW LEASES OR RE-LEASE SPACE AS LEASES EXPIRE.

If tenants do not renew their leases upon expiration, we may be unable to re-lease the space. Even if the tenants do renew their leases or if we can re-lease the space, the terms of renewal or re-leasing (including the cost of required renovations) may be less favorable than current lease terms. Certain leases grant the tenants an early termination right upon payment of a termination penalty.

WE FACE SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION FROM OTHER REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS.

We compete with real estate developers, operators and institutions for tenants and acquisition and development opportunities. Some of these competitors have significantly greater financial resources than we have. Such competition may reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us, may interfere with our ability to attract and retain tenants and may increase vacancies, which could result in increased supply and lower market rental rates, reducing our bargaining leverage and adversely affecting our ability to improve our operating leverage. In addition, some of our competitors may be willing (because their properties may have vacancy rates higher than those for our properties, to make space available at lower prices than available space in our properties or for other reasons). We cannot assure you that this competition will not adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to shareholders.


CHANGES IN MARKET CONDITIONS INCLUDING CAPITALIZATION RATES APPLIED IN

REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS COULD IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO GROW THROUGH ACQUISITIONS.

We selectively pursue acquisitions in our core markets when long-term yields make acquisitions attractive. We compete with numerous property owners for the acquisition of real estate properties. Some of these competitors may be willing to accept lower yields on their investments impacting our ability to acquire real estate assets and thus limit our external growth. We cannot assure you that this competition will not adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to shareholders.

PROPERTY OWNERSHIP THROUGH JOINT VENTURES MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO ACT

EXCLUSIVELY IN OUR INTEREST.

We develop and acquire properties in joint ventures with other persons or entities when we believe circumstances warrant the use of such structures. As of January 5, 2006, we had investments in ten unconsolidated real estate ventures and four additional real estate ventures that are consolidated in our financial statements. We could become engaged in a dispute with one or more of our joint venture partners that might affect our ability to operate a jointly-owned property. Moreover, our joint venture partners may, at any time, have business, economic or other objectives that are inconsistent with our objectives, including objectives that relate to the appropriate timing and terms of any sale or refinancing of a property. In some instances, our joint venture partners may have competing interests in our markets that could create conflicts of interest. If the objectives of our joint venture partners are inconsistent with our own objections, we will not be able to act exclusively in our interests.

BECAUSE REAL ESTATE IS ILLIQUID, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL PROPERTIES

WHEN APPROPRIATE.

Real estate investments generally, and in particular large office and industrial properties like those that we own, often cannot be sold quickly. Consequently, we may not be able to alter our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, the Internal Revenue Code limits our ability to sell properties that we have held for fewer than four years without resulting in adverse consequences to our shareholders. Furthermore, properties that we have developed and have owned for a significant period of time or that we acquired in exchange for partnership interests in our operating partnership often have a low tax basis. If we were to dispose of any of these properties in a taxable transaction, we may be required under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to REITs to distribute a significant amount of the taxable gain to our shareholders and this could, in turn, impact our cash flow. In some cases, tax protection agreements with third parties will prevent us from selling certain properties in a taxable transaction without incurring substantial costs. In addition, purchase options and rights of first refusal held by tenants or partners in joint ventures may also limit our ability to sell certain properties. All of these factors reduce our ability to respond to changes in the performance of our investments and could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders as well as the ability of someone to purchase us, even if a purchase were in our shareholders' best interests.


WE MAY SUFFER ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES DUE TO THE FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES,

BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY OF OUR TENANTS.

If one or more of our tenants were to experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn of business, there could be an adverse effect on our financial performance and distributions to shareholders. We cannot assure you that any tenant that files for bankruptcy protection will continue to pay us rent. A bankruptcy filing by or relating to one of our tenants or a lease guarantor would bar efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from that tenant or lease guarantor, or its property, unless we receive an order permitting us to do so from the bankruptcy court. In addition, we cannot evict a tenant solely because of bankruptcy. The bankruptcy of a tenant or lease guarantor could delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases, and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. If a lease is assumed by the tenant in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy balances due under the lease must be paid to us in full. If, however, a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages. Any such unsecured claim would only be paid to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims. Restrictions under the bankruptcy laws further limit the amount of any other claims that we can make if a lease is rejected. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any such unsecured claims that we might hold.

SOME POTENTIAL LOSSES ARE NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE.

We currently carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance on all of our properties. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits of these policies are adequate and appropriate. There are, however, types of losses, such as lease and other contract claims and terrorism and acts of war, that generally are not insured. We cannot assure you that we will be able to renew insurance coverage in an adequate amount or at reasonable prices. In addition, insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses, such as losses due to terrorist acts and mold, or, if offered, these types of insurance may be prohibitively expensive. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property. In such an event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. We cannot assure you that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Such events could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders.

TERRORIST ATTACKS AND OTHER ACTS OF VIOLENCE OR WAR MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR PERFORMANCE AND MAY AFFECT THE MARKETS ON WHICH OUR SECURITIES ARE TRADED.

Terrorist attacks against our properties, or against the United States or our interests, may negatively impact our operations and the value of our securities. Attacks or armed conflicts could result in increased operating costs; for example, it might cost more in the future for building security, property/casualty and liability insurance, and property maintenance. As a result of terrorist activities and other market conditions, the cost of insurance coverage for our properties could also increase. We might not be able to pass along the increased costs associated with such increased security measures and insurance to our tenants, which could reduce our profitability and cash flow. Furthermore, any terrorist attacks or armed conflicts could result in increased volatility in or damage to the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy. Such adverse economic conditions could affect the ability of our tenants to pay rent and our costs of capitals, which could have a negative impact on our results.


OUR ABILITY TO MAKE DISTRIBUTIONS IS SUBJECT TO VARIOUS RISKS.

Historically, we have paid quarterly distributions to our shareholders. Our ability to make distributions in the future will depend upon:

o the operational and financial performance of our properties;

o capital expenditures with respect to existing and newly acquired properties;

o general and administrative costs associated with our operation as a publicly-held REIT;

o the amount of, and the interest rates on, our debt; and

o the absence of significant expenditures relating to environmental and other regulatory matters.

Certain of these matters are beyond our control and any significant difference between our expectations and actual results could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to shareholders.

CHANGES IN THE LAW MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR CASH FLOW.

Because increases in income and service taxes are generally not passed through to tenants under leases, such increases may adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make expected distributions to shareholders. Our properties are also subject to various regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment, fire and safety. Our failure to comply with these requirements could result in the imposition of fines and damage awards and default under some of our tenant leases. Moreover, the costs to comply with any new or different regulations could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions. Although we believe that our properties are in material compliance with all such requirements, we cannot assure you that these requirements will not change or that newly imposed requirements will not require significant expenditures.

THE TERMS AND COVENANTS RELATING TO OUR INDEBTEDNESS COULD ADVERSELY

IMPACT OUR ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE.

Like other real estate companies which incur debt, we are subject to risks associated with debt financing, such as the insufficiency of cash flow to meet required debt service payment obligations and the inability to refinance existing indebtedness. If our debt cannot be paid, refinanced or extended at maturity, in addition to our failure to repay our debt, we may not be able to make distributions to shareholders at expected levels or at all. Furthermore, an increase in our interest expense could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders. If we do not meet our debt service obligations, any properties securing such indebtedness could be foreclosed on, which would have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and ability to make distributions and, depending on the number of properties foreclosed on, could threaten our continued viability.


Our credit facilities and the indenture governing our unsecured public debt securities contain (and any new or amended facility will contain) customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, including total debt to asset ratios, secured debt to total asset ratios, debt service coverage ratios and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt which we must maintain. Our ability to borrow under our credit facilities is (and any new or amended facility will be) subject to compliance with such financial and other covenants. In the event that we fail to satisfy these covenants, we would be in default under the credit facilities and indenture and may be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under such circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us, or may be available only on unattractive terms.

Increases in interest rates on variable rate indebtedness would increase our interest expense, which could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders. Rising interest rates could also restrict our ability to refinance existing debt when it matures. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts that third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to alter our portfolio promptly in relation to economic or other conditions. We have entered into and may, from time to time, enter into agreements such as interest rate hedges, swaps, floors, caps and other interest rate hedging contracts with respect to a portion of our variable rate debt. Although these agreements may lessen the impact of rising interest rates on us, they also expose us to the risk that other parties to the agreements will not perform or that we cannot enforce the agreements.

OUR DEGREE OF LEVERAGE COULD LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL

FINANCING OR AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR EQUITY SHARES OR DEBT SECURITIES.

Our degree of leverage could affect our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital expenditures, development, acquisitions or other general corporate purposes. Our senior unsecured debt is currently rated investment grade by the three major rating agencies. We cannot, however, assure you that we will be able to maintain this rating. In the event that our unsecured debt is downgraded from the current rating, we would likely incur higher borrowing costs and the market prices of our common shares and debt securities might decline. Our degree of leverage could also make us more vulnerable to a downturn in business or the economy generally.

ADDITIONAL ISSUANCES OF EQUITY SECURITIES MAY BE DILUTIVE TO

SHAREHOLDERS.

The interests of our shareholders could be diluted if we issue additional equity securities to finance future developments or acquisitions or to repay indebtedness. Our board of trustees may issue additional equity securities without shareholder approval. Our ability to execute our business strategy depends upon our access to an appropriate blend of debt financing, including unsecured lines of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt, and equity financing, including the issuance of common and preferred equity.


POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION COULD RESULT IN

SUBSTANTIAL COSTS.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be liable for the costs to investigate and remove or remediate hazardous or toxic substances on or in our properties, often regardless of whether we know of or are responsible for the presence of these substances. These costs may be substantial. Also, if hazardous or toxic substances are present on a property, or if we fail to properly remediate such substances, our ability to sell or rent the property or to borrow using that property as collateral may be adversely affected.

Additionally, we develop, manage, lease and/or operate various properties for third parties. Consequently, we may be considered to have been or to be an operator of these properties and, therefore, potentially liable for removal or remediation costs or other potential costs that could relate to hazardous or toxic substances.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT COMPLIANCE COULD BE COSTLY.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA") requires that all public accommodations and commercial facilities, including office buildings, meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with ADA requirements could involve the removal of structural barriers from certain disabled persons' entrances which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Other federal, state and local laws may require modifications to or restrict further renovations of our properties with respect to such accesses. Although we believe that our properties are in material compliance with present requirements, noncompliance with the ADA or similar or related laws or regulations could result in the United States government imposing fines or private litigants being awarded damages against us. In addition, changes to existing requirements or enactments of new requirements could require significant expenditures. Such costs may adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders.

OUR STATUS AS A REIT (OR ANY OF OUT REIT SUBSIDIARIES) IS DEPENDENT ON

COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL INCOME TAX REQUIREMENTS.

If we (or any of our REIT subsidiaries) fails to qualify as a REIT, we or the affected REIT subsidiary would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates. Also, unless the IRS granted us or our affected REIT subsidiary, as the case may be, relief under certain statutory provisions, we or it would remain disqualified as a REIT for four years following the year it first failed to qualify. If we or any of our REIT subsidiaries fails to qualify as a REIT, we or it would be required to pay significant income taxes and would, therefore, have less money available for investments or for distributions to shareholders. This would likely have a material adverse effect on the value of the combined company's securities. In addition, we or our affected REIT subsidiary would no longer be required to make any distributions to shareholders.

Failure of Brandywine Operating Partnership (or a subsidiary partnership) to be treated as a partnership would have serious adverse consequences to our shareholders. If the IRS were to successfully challenge the tax status of Brandywine Operating Partnership or any of its subsidiary partnerships for federal income tax purposes, Brandywine Operating Partnership or the affected subsidiary partnership would be taxable as a corporation. In such event we would cease to qualify as a REIT and the imposition of a corporate tax on Brandywine Operating Partnership or a subsidiary partnership would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution from Brandywine Operating Partnership to us and ultimately to our shareholders.


Even if we qualify as a REIT, we will be required to pay certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and properties. In addition, our taxable REIT subsidiaries will be subject to federal, state and local income tax at regular corporate rates on their net taxable income derived from management, leasing and related service business. If the we have net income from a prohibited transaction, such income will be subject to a 100% tax.

WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON OUR KEY PERSONNEL.

We are dependent upon our key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed. We are dependent on our executive officers for strategic business direction and real estate experience. In connection with the acquisition of Prentiss Properties Trust, we entered into employment agreements with several former officers of Prentiss. Although we believe that we could find replacements for these key personnel (including the former Prentiss officers), loss of their services could adversely affect our operations.

Although we have an employment agreement with Gerard H. Sweeney, our President and Chief Executive Officer, for a term extending to May 7, 2008, this agreement does not restrict his ability to become employed by a competitor following the termination of his employment. We do not have key man life insurance coverage on our executive officers.

CERTAIN LIMITATIONS WILL EXIST WITH RESPECT TO A THIRD PARTY'S ABILITY

TO ACQUIRE US OR EFFECTUATE A CHANGE IN CONTROL.

Limitations imposed to protect our REIT status. In order to protect us against the loss of our REIT status, our Declaration of Trust limits any shareholder from owning more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding shares, subject to certain exceptions. The ownership limit may have the effect of precluding acquisition of control of us. If anyone acquires shares in excess of the ownership limit, we may:

o consider the transfer to be null and void;

o not reflect the transaction on our books;

o institute legal action to stop the transaction;

o not pay dividends or other distributions with respect to those shares;

o not recognize any voting rights for those shares; and

o consider the shares held in trust for the benefit of a person to whom such shares may be transferred.

Limitation due to our ability to issue preferred shares. Our Declaration of Trust authorizes the board of trustees to cause us to issue preferred shares, without limitation as to amount. The board of trustees is able establish the preferences and rights of any preferred shares issued which could have the effect of delaying or preventing someone from taking control of us, even if a change in control were in our shareholders' best interests.


Limitation imposed by the Maryland Business Combination Law. The Maryland General Corporation Law, as applicable to Maryland REITs, establishes special restrictions against "business combinations" between a Maryland REIT and "interested shareholders" or their affiliates unless an exemption is applicable. An interested shareholder includes a person who beneficially owns, and an affiliate or associate of the trust who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of, ten percent or more of the voting power of our then-outstanding voting shares. Among other things, Maryland law prohibits (for a period of five years) a merger and certain other transactions between a Maryland REIT and an interested shareholder unless the board of trustees had approved the transaction before the party became an interested shareholder. The five-year period runs from the most recent date on which the interested shareholder became an interested shareholder. Thereafter, any such business combination must be recommended by the board of trustees and approved by two super-majority shareholder votes unless, among other conditions, the common shareholders receive a minimum price for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested shareholder for our shares or unless the board of trustees approved the transaction before the party in question became an interested shareholder. The business combination statute could have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us and of increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if the acquisition would be in our shareholders' best interests.

Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. Maryland law provides that "control shares" of a REIT acquired in a "control share acquisition" shall have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the vote eligible to be cast on the matter under the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. "Control Shares" means shares that, if aggregated with all other shares previously acquired by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing trustees within one of the following ranges of voting power: one-tenth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority or a majority or more of all voting power. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained shareholder approval. A "control share acquisition" means the acquisition of control shares, subject to certain exceptions. If voting rights or control shares acquired in a control share acquisition are not approved at a shareholder's meeting, then subject to certain conditions and limitations the issuer may redeem any or all of the control shares for fair value. If voting rights of such control shares are approved at a shareholder's meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other shareholders may exercise appraisal rights. Any control shares acquired in a control share acquisition which are not exempt under our Bylaws are subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. Our Bylaws contain a provision exempting from the control share acquisition statute any and all acquisitions by any person of our shares. We cannot assure you that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.


MANY FACTORS CAN HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR

SECURITIES.

A number of factors might adversely affect the price of our securities, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

o increases in market interest rates, relative to the dividend yield on our shares. If market interest rates go up, prospective purchasers of our securities may require a higher yield. Higher market interest rates would not, however, result in more funds for us to distribute and, to the contrary, would likely increase our borrowing costs and potentially decrease funds available for distribution. Thus, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of our common shares to go down;

o anticipated benefit of an investment in our securities as compared to investment in securities of companies in other industries (including benefits associated with tax treatment of dividends and distributions);

o perception by market professionals of REITs generally and REITs comparable to us in particular;

o level of institutional investor interest in our securities;

o relatively low trading volumes in securities of REITs;

o our results of operations and financial condition; and

o investor confidence in the stock market generally.

The market value of our common shares is based primarily upon the market's perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions. Consequently, our common shares may trade at prices that are higher or lower than our net asset value per common share. If our future earnings or cash distributions are less than expected, it is likely that the market price of our common shares will diminish.

THE ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED SECURITIES MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE RIGHTS OF

HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON SHARES.

Because our board of trustees has the power to establish the preferences and rights of each class or series of preferred shares, we may afford the holders in any series or class of preferred shares preferences, distributions, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, senior to the rights of holders of common shares. Our board of trustees also has the power to establish the preferences and rights of each class or series of units in Brandywine Operating Partnership, and may afford the holders in any series or class of preferred units preferences, distributions, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, senior to the rights of holders of common units.

THE ACQUISITION OF NEW PROPERTIES WHICH LACK OPERATING HISTORY WITH US

WILL GIVE RISE TO DIFFICULTIES IN PREDICTING REVENUE POTENTIAL.

We will continue to acquire additional properties. These acquisitions could fail to perform in accordance with expectations. If we fail to accurately estimate occupancy levels, operating costs or costs of improvements to bring an acquired property up to the standards established for our intended market position, the performance of the property may be below expectations. Acquired properties may have characteristics or deficiencies affecting their valuation or revenue potential that we have not yet discovered. We cannot assure you that the performance of properties acquired by us will increase or be maintained under our management.


OUR PERFORMANCE IS DEPENDENT UPON THE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF THE

MARKETS IN WHICH OUR PROPERTIES ARE LOCATED.

Our properties are located in the Mid-Atlantic, Southwest, Northern California and Southern California markets. Like other real estate markets, these commercial real estate markets have experienced economic downturns in the past, and future declines in any of these economies or real estate markets could adversely affect cash available for distribution. Our financial performance and ability to make distributions to our shareholders will be particularly sensitive to the economic conditions in these markets. The local economic climate, which may be adversely impacted by business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, changing demographics and other factors, and local real estate conditions, such as oversupply of or reduced demand for office, industrial and other competing commercial properties, may affect revenues and the value of properties, including properties to be acquired or developed. We cannot assure you that these local economies will grow in the future.


EXHIBIT 99.2
MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following discussion describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the taxation of Brandywine Realty Trust as a REIT and the ownership and disposition of Brandywine's common shares.

If Brandywine offers one or more series of preferred shares or debt securities under this prospectus, information about any income tax consequences to holders of those preferred shares or debt securities will be included in an applicable prospectus supplement.

Because this is a summary that is intended to address only material federal income tax consequences relating to the ownership and disposition of Brandywine's common shares that will apply to all holders, this summary may not contain all the information that may be important to you. As you review this discussion, you should keep in mind that:

the tax consequences to you may vary depending on your particular tax situation;

special rules that are not discussed below may apply to you if, for example, you are a tax-exempt organization, a broker-dealer, a non-U.S. person, a trust, an estate, a regulated investment company, a financial institution, an insurance company, or otherwise subject to special tax treatment under the Code;

this summary does not address state, local or non-U.S. tax considerations (See " - Other Tax Consequences");

this summary deals only with our common shareholders that hold common shares as "capital assets" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code; and

this discussion is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, tax advice.

You are urged both to review the following discussion and to consult with your own tax advisor to determine the effect of ownership and disposition of our common shares on your individual tax situation, including any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences.

As used herein, a "U.S. shareholder" means a beneficial owner of our common shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes (1) a citizen or resident of the U.S., (2) a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S. or any political subdivision thereof, (3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source or (4) a trust if it (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

The information in this summary is based on the Code, current, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, the legislative history of the Code, current administrative interpretations and practices of the Internal Revenue Service, including its practices and policies as endorsed in private letter rulings, which are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, and existing court decisions. Future legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations and court decisions could change current law or adversely affect existing interpretations of current law. Any change could apply retroactively. We have not obtained any rulings from the Internal Revenue Service concerning the tax treatment of the matters discussed in this summary. Therefore, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service could challenge the statements in this summary, which do not bind the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and that a court could agree with the Internal Revenue Service.

On October 22, 2004, President Bush signed into law the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "Act"). The Act makes a number of changes to the REIT rules in the Code, generally taking effect in our taxable year beginning January 1, 2005. The following summary includes a discussion of the material changes made by the Act.


TAXATION OF BRANDYWINE AS A REIT

Brandywine first elected to be taxed as a REIT for the taxable year ended December 31, 1986, and has operated and expects to continue to operate in such a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. An entity that qualifies for taxation as a REIT and distributes to its shareholders an amount at least equal to 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and by excluding any net capital gain) plus 90% of its income from foreclosure property (less the tax imposed on such income) is generally not subject to Federal corporate income taxes on net income that it currently distributes to shareholders. This treatment substantially eliminates the "double taxation" (at the corporate and shareholder levels) that generally results from investment in a corporation. However, we will be subject to Federal income tax as follows:

1. We will be taxed at regular corporate rates on any undistributed REIT taxable income, including undistributed net capital gains.

2. Under certain circumstances, we may be subject to the "alternative minimum tax" on our items of tax preference, if any.

3. If we have net income from prohibited transactions (which are, in general, certain sales or other dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business) such income will be subject to a 100% tax. See " - Sale of Partnership Property."

4. If we should fail to satisfy the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test (as discussed below), and nonetheless have maintained our qualification as a REIT because certain other requirements have been met, we will be subject to a 100% tax on the net income attributable to the greater of the amount by which we fail the 75% or 95% test, multiplied by a fraction intended to reflect our profitability.

5. If we should fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of (1) 85% of our REIT ordinary income for such year, (2) 95% of our REIT capital gain net income for such year, and (3) any undistributed taxable income from prior years, we would be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the amounts actually distributed.

6. If we have (1) net income from the sale or other disposition of "foreclosure property" (which is, in general, property acquired by us by foreclosure or otherwise or default on a loan secured by the property) which is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or (2) other nonqualifying income from foreclosure property, we will be subject to tax on such income at the highest corporate rate.

7. If we were to acquire any asset from a taxable "C" corporation in a carry-over basis transaction, we could be liable for specified tax liability inherited from that "C" corporation with respect to that corporation's "built-in gain" in its assets. Built-in gain is the amount by which an asset's fair market value exceeds its adjusted tax basis. We would not be subject to tax on the built in gain, however, if we do not dispose of the acquired property within the 10-year period following acquisition of such property.


QUALIFICATION OF BRANDYWINE AS A REIT

The Code defines a REIT as a corporation, trust or association:

1. that is managed by one or more trustees or directors;

2. the beneficial ownership of which is evidenced by transferable shares or by transferable certificates of beneficial interest;

3. that would be taxable as a domestic corporation but for Sections 856 through 859 of the Code;

4. that is neither a financial institution nor an insurance company subject to certain provisions of the Code;

5. the beneficial ownership of which is held by 100 or more persons;

6. during the last half of each taxable year not more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include specified entities);

7. that makes an election to be taxable as a REIT, or has made this election for a previous taxable year which has not been revoked or terminated, and satisfies all relevant filing and other administrative requirements established by the Internal Revenue Service that must be met to elect and maintain REIT status;

8. that uses a calendar year for federal income tax purposes and complies with the record keeping requirements of the Code and the Treasury Regulations; and

9. that meets other applicable tests, described below, regarding the nature of its income and assets and the amount of its distributions.

Conditions (1) through (4) must be satisfied during the entire taxable year, and condition (5) must be satisfied during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months, or during a proportionate part of a taxable year of less than 12 months. We have previously issued Common Shares in sufficient proportions to allow us to satisfy requirements (5) and (6) (the "100 Shareholder" and "five-or-fewer" requirements). In addition, our Declaration of Trust provides restrictions regarding the transfer of our shares that are intended to assist us in continuing to satisfy the requirements described in conditions (5) and (6) above. See " - Description of Shares of Beneficial Interest - Restrictions on Transfer." However, these restrictions may not ensure that we will, in all cases, be able to satisfy the requirements described in conditions (5) and (6) above. In addition, we have not obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as to whether the provisions of our Declaration of Trust concerning restrictions on transfer and conversion of Common Shares to "Excess Shares" will allow us to satisfy conditions (5) and (6). If we fail to satisfy such share ownership requirements, our status as a REIT will terminate. However, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, the Act provides that if the failure to meet the share ownership requirements is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, we may avoid termination of our REIT status by paying a penalty of $50,000.

To monitor compliance with condition (6) above, a REIT is required to send annual letters to its shareholders requesting information regarding the actual ownership of its shares. If we comply with the annual letters requirement and do not know or, exercising reasonable diligence, would not have known of our failure to meet condition (6) above, then we will be treated as having met condition (6) above.


QUALIFIED REIT SUBSIDIARIES

We currently have several wholly-owned subsidiaries which are "qualified REIT subsidiaries" and we may have additional wholly-owned "qualified REIT subsidiaries" in the future. The Code provides that a corporation that is a "qualified REIT subsidiary" shall not be treated as a separate corporation, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of a "qualified REIT subsidiary" shall be treated as assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of the REIT. A "qualified REIT subsidiary" is a corporation, other than a taxable REIT subsidiary (discussed below), all of the capital stock of which is owned by the REIT and that has not elected to be a "Taxable REIT Subsidiary." In applying the requirements described herein, all of our "qualified REIT subsidiaries" will be ignored, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of such subsidiaries will be treated as our assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit. These subsidiaries, therefore, will not be subject to federal corporate income taxation, although they may be subject to state and local taxation.

TAXABLE REIT SUBSIDIARIES

We currently have several "taxable REIT subsidiaries," and may have additional taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. A REIT may hold any direct or indirect interest in a corporation that qualifies as a "taxable REIT subsidiary" as long as the value of the REIT's holdings of taxable REIT subsidiary securities do not exceed 20% of the value of the REIT's total assets. To qualify as a taxable REIT subsidiary, the subsidiary and the REIT must make a joint election to treat the subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary. A taxable REIT subsidiary also includes any corporation (other than a REIT or a qualified REIT subsidiary) in which a taxable REIT subsidiary directly or indirectly owns more than 35% of the total voting power or value. See " - Asset Tests" below. A taxable REIT subsidiary will pay tax at regular corporate income rates on any taxable income it earns.

A taxable REIT subsidiary can perform tenant services without causing the REIT to receive impermissible tenant services income under the REIT income tests. However, several provisions regarding the arrangements between a REIT and its taxable REIT subsidiaries ensure that a taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to an appropriate level of federal income taxation. For example, a taxable REIT subsidiary is limited in its ability to deduct interest payments made to a REIT. In addition, a REIT will be obligated to pay a 100% penalty tax on some payments that it receives or on certain expenses deducted by the taxable REIT subsidiary if the economic arrangements between the REIT, the REIT's tenants and the taxable REIT subsidiary are not comparable to similar arrangements among unrelated parties.

OWNERSHIP OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS BY A REIT

A REIT that is a partner in a partnership is deemed to own its proportionate share of the assets of the partnership and is deemed to receive the income of the partnership attributable to such share. In addition, the character of the assets and gross income of the partnership retains the same character in the hands of the REIT. Accordingly, our proportionate share of the assets, liabilities and items of income of the Operating Partnership are treated as assets, liabilities and items of income of ours for purposes of applying the requirements described herein. Brandywine has control over the Operating Partnership and most of the partnership and limited liability company subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and intends to operate them in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for qualification of Brandywine as a REIT.

INCOME TESTS

In order to qualify as a REIT, Brandywine must generally satisfy two gross income requirements on an annual basis. First, at least 75% of our gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) for each taxable year must be derived directly or indirectly from investments relating to real property or mortgages on real property (including "rents from real property" and, in certain circumstances, interest) or from certain types of temporary investments. Second, at least 95% of our gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) for each taxable year must be derived from the same items which qualify under the 75% gross income test, and from dividends, interest and gain from the sale or disposition of securities.


Rents received by a REIT will qualify as "rents from real property" in satisfying the gross income requirements described above only if several conditions are met. First, the amount of rent must not be based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person. However, an amount received or accrued generally will not be excluded from the term "rents from real property" solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or sales. Second, subject to certain limited exceptions, rents received from a tenant will not qualify as "rents from real property" in satisfying the gross income tests if the REIT, or a direct or indirect owner of 10% or more of the REIT, directly or constructively, owns 10% or more of such tenant (a "Related Party Tenant"). Third, if rent attributable to personal property, leased in connection with a lease of real property, is greater than 15% of the total rent received under the lease, then the portion of rent attributable to such personal property will not qualify as "rents from real property." Finally, in order for rents received with respect to a property to qualify as "rents from real property," the REIT generally must not operate or manage the property or furnish or render services to tenants, except through an "independent contractor" who is adequately compensated and from whom the REIT derives no income, or through a taxable REIT subsidiary. The "independent contractor" requirement, however, does not apply to the extent the services provided by the REIT are "usually or customarily rendered" in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only, and are not otherwise considered "rendered to the occupant." In addition, a de minimis rule applies with respect to non-customary services. Specifically, if the value of the non-customary service income with respect to a property (valued at no less than 150% of the direct costs of performing such services) is 1% or less of the total income derived from the property, then all rental income except the non-customary service income will qualify as "rents from real property." A taxable REIT subsidiary may provide services (including noncustomary services) to a REIT's tenants without "tainting" any of the rental income received by the REIT, and will be able to manage or operate properties for third parties and generally engage in other activities unrelated to real estate.

We do not anticipate receiving rent that is based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person (except by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or sales consistent with the rules described above). We also do not anticipate receiving more than a de minimis amount of rents from any related party tenant or rents attributable to personal property leased in connection with real property that will exceed 15% of the total rents received with respect to such real property.

We provide services to our properties that we own through the Operating Partnership, and we believe that all of such services will be considered "usually or customarily rendered" in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only so that the provision of such services will not jeopardize the qualification of rent from the properties as "rents from real property." In the case of any services that are not "usual and customary" under the foregoing rules, we will employ an "independent contractor" or a taxable REIT subsidiary to provide such services.

The Operating Partnership may receive certain types of income that will not qualify under the 75% or 95% gross income tests. In particular, dividends received from a taxable REIT subsidiary will not qualify under the 75% test. We believe, however, that the aggregate amount of such items and other non-qualifying income in any taxable year will not cause Brandywine to exceed the limits on non-qualifying income under either the 75% or 95% gross income tests.

If Brandywine fails to satisfy one or both of the 75% of 95% gross income tests for any taxable year, Brandywine may nevertheless qualify as a REIT for such year if it is entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code. These relief provisions will be generally available if (1) the failure to meet such tests was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, (2) we have attached a schedule of the sources of our income to our return, and (3) any incorrect information on the schedule was not due to fraud with intent to evade tax. In addition, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, the Act provides that we must also file a disclosure schedule with the IRS after we determine that we have not satisfied one of the gross income tests. It is not possible, however, to state whether in all circumstances Brandywine would be entitled to the benefit of these relief provisions. As discussed above in "Taxation of Brandywine as a REIT," even if these relief provisions apply, a tax would be imposed based on the excess net income.


Any gain realized by us on the sale of any property held as inventory or other property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, including Brandywine's share of this type of gain realized by the Operating Partnership, will be treated as income from a prohibited transaction that is subject to a 100% penalty tax. Under existing law, whether property is held as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business is a question of fact that depends on all the facts and circumstances of a particular transaction. We intend to hold properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of acquiring, developing, owning and operating properties, and to make occasional sales of properties as are consistent with our investment objectives. We cannot provide any assurance, however, that the Internal Revenue Service might not contend that one or more of these sales are subject to the 100% penalty tax.

ASSET TESTS

At the close of each quarter of each taxable year, Brandywine must satisfy the following tests relating to the nature of our assets:

First, at least 75% of the value of our total assets must be represented by cash or cash items (which generally include receivables), government securities, "real estate assets" (which generally include interests in real property, interests in mortgages on real property and shares of other REITs), or, in cases where we receive proceeds from shares of beneficial interest or publicly offered long-term (at least five-year) debt, temporary investments in stock or debt instruments during the one-year period following our receipt of such proceeds.

Second, of the investments not included in the 75% asset class, the value of any one issuer's securities we own may not exceed 5% of the value of our total assets ("5% test"); and we may not own more than 10% of the vote or value of any one issuer's outstanding securities ("10% test"), except for our interests in the Operating Partnership, noncorporate subsidiaries, taxable REIT subsidiaries and any qualified REIT subsidiaries, and except (with respect to the 10% value test) certain "straight debt" securities.

Effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2000, the Act expands the safe harbor under which certain types of securities are disregarded for purposes of the 10% value limitation to include (i) straight debt securities (including straight debt securities that provides for certain contingent payments); (ii) any loan to an individual or an estate; (iii) any rental agreement described in Section 467 of the Code, other than with a "related person"; (iv) any obligation to pay rents from real property; (v) certain securities issued by a State or any political subdivision thereof, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; (vi) any security issued by a REIT; and (vii) any other arrangement that, as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, is excepted from the definition of a security. In addition, for purposes of applying the 10% value limitation, (a) a REIT's interest as a partner in a partnership is not considered a security; (b) any debt instrument issued by a partnership is not treated as a security if at least 75% of the partnership's gross income is from sources that would qualify for the 75% REIT gross income test, and (c) any debt instrument issued by a partnership is not treated as a security to the extent of the REIT's interest as a partner in the partnership.

Third, not more than 20% of the value of our assets may be represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries.

For purposes of the 75% asset test, the term "interest in real property" includes an interest in land and improvements thereon, such as buildings or other inherently permanent structures, including items that are structural components of such buildings or structures, a leasehold of real property, and an option to acquire real property, or a leasehold of real property.

For purposes of the asset tests, we are deemed to own our proportionate share of the assets of the Operating Partnership, any qualified REIT subsidiary, and each noncorporate subsidiary, rather than our interests in those entities. At least 75% of the value of our total assets have been and will be represented by real estate assets, cash and cash items, including receivables and government securities. In addition, except for our interests in the Operating Partnership, the noncorporate subsidiaries, another REIT, any taxable REIT subsidiary and any qualified REIT subsidiary, we have not owned, and will not own (1) securities of any one issuer the value of which exceeds 5% of the value of our total assets, or (2) more than 10% of the vote or value of any one issuer's outstanding securities. We have not owned, and will not own, securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries with an aggregate value in excess of 20% of the value of our assets.

As noted above, one of the requirements for qualification as a REIT is that a REIT not own more than 10% of the vote or value of any corporation other than the stock of a qualified REIT subsidiary (of which the REIT is required to own all of such stock), a taxable REIT subsidiary and stock in another REIT. The Operating Partnership owns all or substantially all of the voting securities of several entities that have elected to be taxed as corporations and are taxable REIT subsidiaries. We and each taxable REIT subsidiary have jointly made a taxable REIT subsidiary election and, therefore, ownership of such subsidiaries will not violate the 10% test.


We own 100% of the common shares of eight entities that have elected or will elect to be treated as real estate investment trusts ("Captive REITs"). Provided that each of the Captive REITs continues to qualify as a REIT (including satisfaction of the ownership, income, asset and distribution tests discussed herein) the common shares of the Captive REITs will qualify as real estate assets under the 75% test. However, if any Captive REIT fails to qualify as a REIT in any year, then the common shares of such Captive REIT will not qualify as real estate assets under the 75% test. In addition, because we own more than 10% of the common shares of each Captive REIT, Brandywine would not satisfy the 10% test if any Captive REIT were to fail to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, Brandywine's qualification as a REIT depends upon the ability of each Captive REIT to continue to qualify as a REIT.

After initially meeting the asset tests at the close of any quarter, Brandywine will not lose its status as a REIT for failure to satisfy the asset tests at the end of a later quarter solely by reason of changes in asset values. If the failure to satisfy the asset tests results from an acquisition of securities or other property during a quarter, the failure can be cured by disposition of sufficient nonqualifying assets within 30 days after the close of that quarter. We intend to maintain adequate records of the value of our assets to ensure compliance with the asset tests, and to take such other action within 30 days after the close of any quarter as may be required to cure any noncompliance. However, there can be no assurance that such other action will always be successful. If we fail to cure any noncompliance with the asset tests within such time period, our status as a REIT would be lost.

For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, the Act provides relief from certain failures to satisfy the REIT asset tests. If the failure relates to the 5% test or 10% test, and if the failure is de minimis (does not exceed the lesser of $10 million or 1% of our assets as of the end of the quarter), we may avoid the loss of our REIT status by disposing of sufficient assets to cure the failure within 6 months after the end of the quarter in which the failure was identified. For failures to meet the asset tests that are more than a de minimis amount, we may avoid the loss of our REIT status if: the failure was due to reasonable cause, we file a disclosure schedule at the end of the quarter in which the failure was identified, we dispose of sufficient assets to cure the failure within 6 months after the end of the quarter, and we pay a tax equal to the greater of $50,000 or the highest corporate tax rate multiplied by the net income generated by the non-qualifying assets.

ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS

In order to qualify as a REIT, Brandywine is required to distribute dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to our shareholders in an amount at least equal to (1) the sum of (a) 90% of its "REIT taxable income" (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and the REIT's net capital gain) and (b) 90% of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus (2) certain "excess" non-cash income. In addition, if we dispose of a built-in gain asset during the 10 year period following its acquisition, we will be required to distribute at least 90% of the built-in gain (after tax), if any, recognized on the disposition of such asset. Such distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if declared before Brandywine timely files its tax return for such year and if paid on or before the first regular dividend payment after such declaration. To the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gain or we distribute at least 95%, but less than 100%, of our "REIT taxable income," as adjusted, we will be subject to tax on the undistributed amount at regular corporate tax rates. Furthermore, if we should fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of (1) 85% of our REIT ordinary income for such year, (2) 95% of our REIT net capital gain income for such year and (3) any undistributed taxable income from prior periods, we would be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the amounts actually distributed.


Brandywine intends to make timely distributions sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirements. In this regard, the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership authorizes Brandywine, as general partner, to operate the partnership in a manner that will enable it to satisfy the REIT requirements and avoid the imposition of any federal income or excise tax liability. It is possible that we, from time to time, may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet the 90% distribution requirement due primarily to the expenditure of cash for nondeductible items such as principal amortization or capital expenditures. In order to meet the 90% distribution requirement, we may borrow or may cause the Operating Partnership to arrange for short-term or other borrowing to permit the payment of required distributions or declare a consent dividend, which is a hypothetical distribution to shareholders out of our earnings and profits. The effect of such a consent dividend (which, in conjunction with distributions actually paid, must not be preferential to those shareholders who agree to such treatment) would be that such shareholders would be treated for federal income tax purposes as if they had received such amount in cash, and they then had immediately contributed such amount back to Brandywine as additional paid-in capital. This would result in taxable income to those shareholders without the receipt of any actual cash distribution but would also increase their tax basis in their shares by the amount of the taxable income recognized.

Under certain circumstances, Brandywine may be able to rectify a failure to meet the distribution requirement for a given year by paying "deficiency dividends" to shareholders in a later year that may be included in Brandywine's deduction for distributions paid for the earlier year. Thus, Brandywine may be able to avoid being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends; however, Brandywine will be required to pay to the Internal Revenue Service interest based upon the amount of any deduction taken for deficiency dividends.

FAILURE TO QUALIFY

For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, the Act provides relief for many failures to satisfy the REIT requirements. In addition to the relief provisions for failures to satisfy the income and asset tests (discussed above), the Act provides additional relief for other failures to satisfy REIT requirements. If the failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, and we elect to pay a penalty of $50,000 for each failure, we can avoid the loss of our REIT status.

If Brandywine fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year and the relief provisions do not apply, it will be subject to tax (including any applicable corporate alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. Distributions to shareholders in any year in which Brandywine fails to qualify will not be deductible to us. In such event, to the extent of Brandywine's current and accumulated earnings and profits, all distributions to shareholders will be taxable to them as dividends, and, subject to certain limitations of the Code, corporate distributees may be eligible for the dividends received deduction. Under current law, such dividends should be taxable to individual shareholders at the 15% rate for qualified dividends provided that applicable holding period requirements are met. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, Brandywine also will be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost. It is not possible to state whether in all circumstances Brandywine would be entitled to such statutory relief.

INCOME TAXATION OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, SUBSIDIARY PARTNERSHIPS AND THEIR PARTNERS

The following discussion summarizes certain Federal income tax considerations applicable to Brandywine's investment in the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership's subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies (referred to as the "Subsidiary Partnerships").

CLASSIFICATION OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY PARTNERSHIPS AS PARTNERSHIPS

Brandywine owns all of its Properties or the economic interests therein through the Operating Partnership. Brandywine will be entitled to include in its income its distributive share of the income and to deduct its distributive share of the losses of the Operating Partnership (including the Operating Partnership's share of the income or losses of the Subsidiary Partnerships) only if the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Partnerships (collectively, the "Partnerships") are classified for Federal income tax purposes as partnerships rather than as associations taxable as corporations. For taxable periods prior to January 1, 1997, an organization formed as a partnership was treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes rather than as a corporation only if it had no more than two of the four corporate characteristics that the Treasury Regulations used to distinguish a partnership from a corporation for tax purposes. These four characteristics were continuity of life, centralization of management, limited liability and free transferability of interests.

Neither the Operating Partnership nor any of the Subsidiary Partnerships requested a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that it would be treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes.


Effective January 1, 1997, Treasury Regulations eliminated the four-factor test described above and, instead, permit partnerships and other non-corporate entities to be taxed as partnerships for federal income tax purposes without regard to the number of corporate characteristics possessed by such entity. Under those Treasury Regulations, both the Operating Partnership and each of the Subsidiary Partnerships will be classified as partnerships for federal income tax purposes except for any entity for which an affirmative election is made by the entity to be taxed as a corporation. Under a special transitional rule in the Treasury Regulations, the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge the classification of an existing entity such as the Operating Partnership or a Subsidiary Partnership for periods prior to January 1, 1997 if:
(1) the entity has a "reasonable basis" for its classification; (2) the entity and each of its members recognized the federal income tax consequences of any change in classification of the entity made within the 60 months prior to January 1, 1997; and (3) neither the entity nor any of its members had been notified in writing on or before May 8, 1996 that its classification was under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Neither the Operating Partnership nor any of the Subsidiary Partnerships changed its classification within the 60 month period preceding May 8, 1996, nor was any one of them notified that its classification as a partnership for federal income tax purposes was under examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

If for any reason the Operating Partnership or a Subsidiary Partnership were classified as an association taxable as a corporation rather than as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes, Brandywine would not be able to satisfy the income and asset requirements for REIT status. See " - Income Tests" and " - Asset Tests." In addition, any change in any such Partnership's status for tax purposes might be treated as a taxable event, in which case we might incur a tax liability without any related cash distribution. See " - Annual Distribution Requirements." Further, items of income and deduction of any such Partnership would not pass through to its partner (e.g., Brandywine), and its partners would be treated as shareholders for tax purposes. Any such Partnership would be required to pay income tax at corporate tax rates on its net income and distributions to its partners would constitute dividends that would not be deductible in computing such Partnership's taxable income.

PARTNERSHIP ALLOCATIONS

Although a partnership agreement will generally determine the allocation of income and losses among partners, such allocations will be disregarded for tax purposes if they do not comply with the provisions of
Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, which require that partnership allocations respect the economic arrangement of the partners.

If an allocation is not recognized for Federal income tax purposes, the item subject to the allocation will be reallocated in accordance with the partners' interests in the partnership, which will be determined by taking into account all of the facts and circumstances relating to the economic arrangement of the partners with respect to such item. The Operating Partnership's allocations of taxable income and loss are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

TAX ALLOCATIONS WITH RESPECT TO CONTRIBUTED PROPERTIES

We believe that the fair market values of the properties contributed directly or indirectly to the Operating Partnership in various transactions were different than the tax basis of such Properties. Pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code, items of income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to appreciated or depreciated property that is contributed to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership must be allocated for Federal income tax purposes in a manner such that the contributor is charged with or benefits from the unrealized gain or unrealized loss associated with the property at the time of the contribution. The amount of such unrealized gain or unrealized loss is generally equal to the difference between the fair market value of the contributed property at the time of contribution and the adjusted tax basis of such property at the time of contribution (the "Pre-Contribution Gain or Loss"). The partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership requires allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to such contributed property to be made in a manner that is consistent with Section 704(c) of the Code. Thus, if the Operating Partnership sells contributed property at a gain or loss, such gain or loss will be allocated to the contributing partners, and away from us, generally to the extent of the Pre-Contribution Gain or Loss.

The Treasury Department has issued final regulations under Section 704(c) of the Code which give partnerships flexibility in ensuring that a partner contributing property to a partnership receives the tax benefits and burdens of any Pre-Contribution Gain or Loss attributable to the contributed property. These regulations permit partnerships to use any "reasonable method" of accounting for Pre-Contribution Gain or Loss. These regulations specifically describe three reasonable methods, including (1) the "traditional method" under current law, (2) the traditional method with the use of "curative allocations" which would permit distortions caused by Pre-Contribution Gain or Loss to be rectified on an annual basis and (3) the "remedial allocation method" which is similar to the traditional method with "curative allocations." The partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership permits us, as general partner, to select one of these methods to account for Pre-Contribution Gain or Loss.


DEPRECIATION

The Operating Partnership's assets include a substantial amount of appreciated property contributed by its partners. Assets contributed to a partnership in a tax-free transaction generally retain the same depreciation method and recovery period as they had in the hands of the partner who contributed them to the partnership. Accordingly, a substantial amount of the Operating Partnership's depreciation deductions for its real property are based on the historic tax depreciation schedules for the properties prior to their contribution to the Operating Partnership. The properties are being depreciated over a range of 15 to 40 years using various methods of depreciation which were determined at the time that each item of depreciable property was placed in service. Any depreciable real property purchased by the Partnerships is currently depreciated over 40 years. In certain instances where a partnership interest rather than real property is contributed to the Partnership, the real property may not carry over its recovery period but rather may, similarly, be subject to the lengthier recovery period.

Section 704(c) of the Code requires that depreciation as well as gain and loss be allocated in a manner so as to take into account the variation between the fair market value and tax basis of the property contributed. Thus, because much of the property contributed to the Operating Partnerships is appreciated, we will generally receive allocations of tax depreciation in excess of our percentage interest in the Operating Partnership. Depreciation with respect to any property purchased by the Operating Partnership subsequent to the admission of its partners, however, will be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests in the Operating Partnership.

As described previously, Brandywine, as a general partner of the Operating Partnership, may select any permissible method to account for Pre-Contribution Gain or Loss. The use of certain of these methods may result in us being allocated lower depreciation deductions than if a different method were used. The resulting higher taxable income and earnings and profits, as determined for federal income tax purposes, should decrease the portion of distributions which may be treated as a return of capital. See "- Taxation of Taxable Domestic Shareholders."

BASIS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP INTEREST

Our adjusted tax basis in each of the partnerships in which we have an interest generally (1) will be equal to the amount of cash and the basis of any other property contributed to such partnership by us, (2) will be increased by
(a) our allocable share of such partnership's income and (b) our allocable share of any indebtedness of such partnership, and (3) will be reduced, but not below zero, by our allocable share of (a) such partnership's loss and (b) the amount of cash and the tax basis of any property distributed to us and by constructive distributions resulting from a reduction in our share of indebtedness of such partnership.

If our allocable share of the loss (or portion thereof) of any partnership in which we have an interest would reduce the adjusted tax basis of our partnership interest in such partnership below zero, the recognition of such loss will be deferred until such time as the recognition of such loss (or portion thereof) would not reduce our adjusted tax basis below zero. To the extent that distributions to us from a partnership, or any decrease in our share of the nonrecourse indebtedness of a partnership (each such decrease being considered a constructive cash distribution to the partners), would reduce our adjusted tax basis below zero, such distributions (including such constructive distributions) would constitute taxable income to us. Such distributions and constructive distributions normally would be characterized as long-term capital gain if our interest in such partnership has been held for longer than the long-term capital gain holding period (currently 12 months).


SALE OF PARTNERSHIP PROPERTY

Generally, any gain realized by a partnership on the sale of property held by the partnership for more than 12 months will be long-term capital gain, except for any portion of such gain that is treated as depreciation or cost recovery recapture. However, under requirements applicable to REITs under the Code, our share as a partner of any gain realized by the Operating Partnership on the sale of any property held as inventory or other property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business will be treated as income from a prohibited transaction that is subject to a 100% penalty tax. See "- Taxation of Brandywine as a REIT." Such prohibited transaction income will also have an adverse effect upon our ability to satisfy the income tests for REIT status. See " - Income Tests." Whether property is held as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business is a question of fact that depends on all the facts and circumstances with respect to the particular transaction. A safe harbor to avoid classification as a prohibited transaction exists as to real estate assets held for the production of rental income by a REIT if the following requirements are satisfied: (1) the REIT has held the property for at least four years, (2) aggregate expenditures of the REIT during the four-year period preceding the sale which are includible in basis do not exceed 30% of the net selling price of the property, (3) (a) during the taxable year the REIT has made no more than seven sales of property or, in the alternative, (b) the aggregate of the adjusted bases of all properties sold during the year does not exceed 10% of the adjusted bases of all of the REIT's properties during the year, (4) in the case of property, not acquired through foreclosure or lease termination, the REIT has held the property for not less than four years for the production of rental income, and (5) if the requirement of clause (3) (a) is not satisfied, substantially all of the marketing and development expenditures were made through an independent contractor. Brandywine, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, believes that the Operating Partnership intends to hold its properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of acquiring, developing, owning, operating and leasing properties and to make such occasional sales of the properties as are consistent with its and the Operating Partnership's investment objectives. No assurance can be given, however, that every property sale by the Partnerships will constitute a sale of property held for investment.

TAXATION OF TAXABLE U.S. SHAREHOLDERS

As long as Brandywine qualifies as a REIT, distributions made to Brandywine's taxable U.S. shareholders out of current or accumulated earnings and profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income) will be dividends taxable to such U.S. shareholders as ordinary income and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations. Distributions that are designated as long-term capital gain dividends will be taxed as long-term capital gains (to the extent they do not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable year) without regard to the period for which the U.S. shareholder has held its shares of beneficial interest. In general, U.S. shareholders will be taxable on long term capital gains at a maximum rate of 15%, except that the portion of such gain that is attributable to depreciation recapture will be taxable at the maximum rate of 25%. However, corporate shareholders may be required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary income. For calendar years 2003 through 2008, distributions that are designated as qualified dividend income will be taxed at the same rate as long-term capital gains. We may designate a distribution as qualified dividend income to the extent of (1) qualified dividend income we receive during the current year (for example, dividends received from a taxable REIT subsidiary), and (2) income on which we have been subject to corporate level tax during the prior year (for example, undistributed REIT taxable income) less the tax paid on that income. We expect that ordinary dividends paid by Brandywine generally will not be eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income to any significant extent. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will not be taxable to a U.S. shareholder to the extent that they do not exceed the adjusted basis of the shareholder's shares, but rather will reduce the adjusted basis of such shares. To the extent that distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits exceed the adjusted basis of a U.S. shareholder's shares, such distributions will be included in income as long-term capital gain (or short-term capital gain if the shares have been held for 12 months or less) assuming the shares are a capital asset in the hands of the shareholder. In addition, any distribution declared by us in October, November or December of any year payable to a shareholder of record on a specified date in any such month shall be treated as both paid by Brandywine and received by the shareholder on December 31 of such year, provided that the distribution is actually paid by Brandywine not later than the end of January of the following calendar year. Shareholders may not include in their individual income tax returns any of Brandywine's losses.

In general, a U.S. shareholder will recognize capital gain or loss on the disposition of common shares equal to the difference between the sales price for such shares and the adjusted tax basis for such shares. Gain or loss recognized upon a sale or exchange of common shares by a U.S. shareholder who has held such shares for more than one year will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss, respectively, and otherwise will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss. However, any loss upon a sale or exchange of shares by a U.S. shareholder who has held such shares for six months or less (after applying certain holding period rules) will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent such shareholder has received distributions from us required to be treated as long-term capital gain. U.S. shareholders who realize a loss on the sale or exchange of shares may be required to file IRS Form 8886, Reportable Transaction Disclosure Statement, if the loss exceeds certain thresholds (for individual taxpayers, the threshold is $2,000,000 for a loss in a single taxable year). U.S. shareholders should consult with their tax advisors regarding Form 8886 filing requirements.


Distributions from us and gain from the disposition of shares will not be treated as passive activity income and, therefore, U.S. shareholders will not be able to apply any "passive losses" against such income. Distributions from us (to the extent they do not constitute a return of capital or capital gain dividends) and, on an elective basis, capital gain dividends and gain from the disposition of shares will generally be treated as investment income for purposes of the investment income limitation.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING

In general, Brandywine will report to its U.S. shareholders and the Internal Revenue Service the amount of distributions paid (unless the U.S. shareholder is an exempt recipient such as a corporation) during each calendar year, and the amount of tax withheld, if any. Under the backup withholding rules, a shareholder may be subject to backup withholding at the rate of 28% with respect to distributions paid unless such shareholder (a) is a corporation or comes within certain other exempt categories and, when required, demonstrates this fact, or (b) provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. A shareholder that does not provide us with his correct taxpayer identification number may also be subject to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. Any amount paid as backup withholding may be credited against the shareholder's income tax liability. In addition, we may be required to withhold a portion of capital gain distributions to any shareholders who fail to certify their non-foreign status to Brandywine. See "- Taxation of Foreign Shareholders."

TAXATION OF TAX-EXEMPT SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions by us to a shareholder that is a tax-exempt entity should not constitute "unrelated business taxable income" ("UBTI"), as defined in
Section 512(a) of the Code provided that the tax-exempt entity has not financed the acquisition of its shares with "acquisition indebtedness" within the meaning of the Code and the shares are not otherwise used in an unrelated trade or business of the tax-exempt entity.

In the case of a "qualified trust" (generally, a pension or profit-sharing trust) holding shares in a REIT, the beneficiaries of the trust are treated as holding shares in the REIT in proportion to their actuarial interests in the qualified trust, instead of treating the qualified trust as a single individual (the "look-through exception"). A qualified trust that holds more than 10% of the shares of a REIT is required to treat a percentage of REIT dividends as UBTI if the REIT incurs debt to acquire or improve real property. This rule applies, however, only if (1) the qualification of the REIT depends upon the application of the "look through" exception (described above) to the restriction on REIT shareholdings by five or fewer individuals, including qualified trusts (see "Description of Shares of Beneficial Interest - Restrictions on Transfer") and (2) the REIT is "predominantly held" by qualified trusts, i.e., if either (a) a single qualified trust holds more than 25% by value of the interests in the REIT or (b) one or more qualified trusts, each owning more than 10% by value, holds in the aggregate more than 50% of the interests in the REIT. The percentage of any dividend paid (or treated as paid) to such a qualified trust that is treated as UBTI is equal to the amount of modified gross income (gross income less directly connected expenses) from the unrelated trade or business of the REIT (treating the REIT as if it were a qualified trust), divided by the total modified gross income of the REIT. A de minimis exception applies where the percentage is less than 5%.

TAXATION OF NON-U.S. SHAREHOLDERS

The rules governing United States Federal income taxation of nonresident alien individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships and other shareholders that are not U.S. shareholders (collectively, "Non-U.S. Shareholders") are complex and no attempt will be made herein to provide more than a summary of such rules. Prospective Non-U.S. Shareholders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the impact of Federal, state and local income tax laws with regard to an investment in our shares, including any reporting requirements.


Distributions made by us that are not attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by us of United States real property interests and not designated by us as capital gains dividends will be treated as dividends of ordinary income to the extent that they are made out of current or accumulated earnings and profits of Brandywine. Such distributions will ordinarily be subject to a withholding tax equal to 30% of the gross amount of the distribution unless an applicable tax treaty reduces or eliminates that tax. However, if income from the investment in our shares is treated as effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Shareholder's conduct of a United States trade or business, the Non-U.S. Shareholder generally will be subject to a tax at graduated rates, in the same manner as U.S. shareholders are taxed with respect to such distributions (and may also be subject to the 30% branch profits tax in the case of a shareholder that is a foreign corporation). We expect to withhold United States income tax at the rate of 30% on the gross amount of any such distributions made to a Non-U.S. Shareholder unless (1) a lower treaty rate applies and the Non-U.S. shareholder files a W-8BEN (or applicable substitute form) or (2) the Non-U.S. Shareholder files an IRS Form W-8ECI with us claiming that the distribution is effectively connected income. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will not be taxable to a shareholder to the extent that such distributions do not exceed the adjusted basis of the shareholder's shares, but rather will reduce the adjusted basis of the shareholder in such shares. To the extent that distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits exceed the adjusted basis of a Non-Shareholder's shares, such distributions will give rise to tax liability if the Non-U.S. Shareholder would otherwise be subject to tax on any gain from the sale or disposition of its shares, as described below. If it cannot be determined at the time a distribution is made whether or not such distribution will be in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will be subject to withholding at the same rate as dividends. However, amounts thus withheld are refundable to the shareholder if it is subsequently determined that such distribution was, in fact, in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

For any year in which Brandywine qualifies as a REIT, except as provided below for certain distributions after January 1, 2005, distributions that are attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by us of United States real property interests will be taxed to a Non-U.S. Shareholder under the provisions of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 ("FIRPTA"). Under FIRPTA, distributions attributable to gain from sales of United States real property interests are taxed to a Non-U.S. Shareholder as if such gain were effectively connected with a United States business. Individuals who are Non-U.S. Shareholders will be required to report such gain on a U.S. federal income tax return and such gain will taxed at the normal capital gain rates applicable to U.S. individual shareholders (subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals). Also, distributions subject to FIRPTA may be subject to a 30% branch profits tax in the hands of a foreign corporate shareholder not entitled to treaty relief. Brandywine is required by applicable Treasury Regulations to withhold 35% of any distribution that could be designated by us as a capital gains dividend. The amount is creditable against the Non-U.S. Shareholder's U.S. tax liability.

For distributions after January 1, 2005, the Act provides that distributions attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by us of United States real property interests are treated as ordinary dividends (not subject to FIRPTA) if the distribution is made to a Non-U.S. Shareholder with respect to any class of stock which is "regularly traded" on an established securities market located in the United States and if the Non-U.S. shareholder did not own more than 5% of such class of stock at any time during the taxable year. Accordingly, such distributions will generally be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax (subject to reduction under applicable treaty) and a Non-U.S. Shareholder will not be required to report the distribution on a U.S. tax return. In addition, the branch profits tax will not apply to such distributions.

Gain recognized by a Non-U.S. Shareholder upon a sale of shares generally will not be taxed under FIRPTA if Brandywine is a "domestically controlled REIT," defined generally as a REIT in which at all times during a specified testing period less than 50% in value of the shares of beneficial interest was held directly or indirectly by foreign persons. It is currently anticipated that we will be a "domestically controlled REIT," and therefore the sale of shares by a Non-U.S. Shareholder will not be subject to taxation under FIRPTA. However, because the shares may be traded, we cannot be sure that we will continue to be a "domestically controlled REIT." Gain not subject to FIRPTA will be taxable to a Non-U.S. Shareholder if (1) investment in the shares is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Shareholder's United States trade or business, in which case the Non-U.S. Shareholder will be subject to the same treatment as U.S. shareholders with respect to such gain or (2) the Non-U.S. Shareholder is a nonresident alien individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year, in which case the nonresident alien individual will be subject to a 30% tax on the individual's capital gains. If the gain on the sale of shares were to be subject to taxation under FIRPTA, the Non-U.S. Shareholder would be subject to the same treatment as U.S. shareholders with respect to such gain (subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals).


If we were not a domestically controlled REIT, a sale of common shares by a Non-U.S. shareholder would not be subject to taxation under FIRPTA as a sale of a U.S. real property interest if (1) our preferred shares or common shares were "regularly traded" on an established securities market within the meaning of applicable Treasury regulations and (2) the Non-U.S. shareholder did not actually, or constructively under specified attribution rules under the Code, own more than 5% of our preferred shares or common shares at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or the holder's holding period.

Even if our common shares were not regularly traded on an established securities market, a Non-U.S. shareholder would not be subject to taxation under FIRPTA as a sale of a U.S. real property interest if such Non-U.S. shareholder's common shares had a fair market value on the date of acquisition that was equal to or less than 5% of our regularly traded class of shares with the lowest fair market value. For purposes of this test, if a Non-U.S. shareholder acquired shares of common shares and subsequently acquired additional shares at a later date, then all such shares would be aggregated and valued as of the date of the subsequent acquisition.

STATEMENT OF SHARE OWNERSHIP

Brandywine is required to demand annual written statements from the record holders of designated percentages of our shares disclosing the actual owners of the shares. Brandywine must also maintain, within the Internal Revenue District in which it is required to file its federal income tax return, permanent records showing the information Brandywine has received as to the actual ownership of such shares and a list of those persons failing or refusing to comply with such demand.

OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES

Brandywine, the Operating Partnership, the Subsidiary Partnerships and Brandywine's shareholders may be subject to state or local taxation in various state or local jurisdictions, including those in which it or they transact business or reside. The state and local tax treatment of Brandywine, the Operating Partnership, the Subsidiary Partnerships and Brandywine's shareholders may not conform to the Federal income tax consequences discussed above. Consequently, prospective shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of state and local tax laws on an investment in our securities.
