Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 30, 2011, Brandywine Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), and its operating partnership, Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named in the Pricing Agreement described therein (the “Underwriters”), in connection with the public offering by the Operating Partnership of $325 million aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 4.95% Guaranteed Notes Due April 15, 2018 (the “Notes”). The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes. The offer and sale of the Notes were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-158589) (as the same may be amended and/or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Copies of each of the Underwriting Agreement and the Pricing Agreement are filed as Exhibit 1.1 and Exhibit 1.2, respectively, to this Current Report on 8-K and the information in the Underwriting Agreement and the Pricing Agreement is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by this reference.

On April 5, 2011, the Operating Partnership completed the issuance and sale of the Notes. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes, after the underwriters’ discount and offering expenses, are estimated to be approximately $318.9 million. The Company plans to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to reduce outstanding borrowings under its $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company intends to use the balance of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment or repurchase of other indebtedness.

The Notes were issued under the Indenture, dated as of October 22, 2004 (the “Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 25, 2005 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 4, 2006 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) and Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 5, 2011 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”), among the Company, the Operating Partnership and The Bank of New York, as trustee. The Indenture previously was filed with the Commission on October 22, 2004, as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by this reference. The First Supplemental Indenture previously was filed with the Commission on May 26, 2005, as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by this reference. The Second Supplemental Indenture previously was filed with the Commission on October 4, 2006, as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by this reference. The Third Supplemental Indenture is being filed with the Commission as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by this reference. A copy of the form of Notes is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.2 and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by this reference.

The Third Supplemental Indenture revises the definition of “Total Unencumbered Assets” in the Indenture for the Operating Partnership’s notes issued from and after April 5, 2011 (including the Notes), and not any notes previously issued under the Indenture. Under the revised definition, in determining Total Unencumbered Assets as a percentage of outstanding Unsecured Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) for purposes of the covenant requiring the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries to maintain the Total Unencumbered Assets equal to at least 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of their Unsecured Indebtedness, all investments by Operating Partnership in persons that are not consolidated for financial reporting purposes under GAAP will be excluded from Total Unencumbered Assets.

The material terms of the Notes are described in a prospectus supplement, as filed with the Commission on April 1, 2011 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the Securities Act, which relates to the offer and sale of the Notes and supplements the Operating Partnership’s prospectus, as filed with the Commission on April 29, 2009, contained in the Registration Statement.

UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

March 30, 2011

To the Representatives of the
    several Underwriters named in the
    respective Pricing Agreements
    hereinafter described

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     From time to time Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), may enter into one or more Pricing Agreements (each a “Pricing Agreement”) in the form of Annex I hereto, with such additions and deletions as the parties thereto may determine, and, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and therein, to issue and sell to the firms named in Schedule I to the applicable Pricing Agreement (such firms constituting the “Underwriters” with respect to such Pricing Agreement and the securities specified therein) certain of its debt securities (the “Securities”) specified in Schedule II to such Pricing Agreement (with respect to such Pricing Agreement, the “Designated Securities”). The Securities will be unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) by Brandywine Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust and the sole general partner and a limited partner of the Operating Partnership (the “Parent Guarantor”).

     The terms and conditions of any particular issuance of Designated Securities will be as specified in the Pricing Agreement relating thereto and in or pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of October 22, 2004, as amended and supplemented (the “Indenture”), among the Operating Partnership, the Parent Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

     1. Introduction. Particular sales of Designated Securities may be made from time to time to the Underwriters of such Designated Securities, for which the firms designated as representatives of the Underwriters of such Designated Securities in the Pricing Agreement relating thereto will act as representatives (the “Representatives”). The term “Representatives” also refers to a single firm acting as sole representative of the Underwriters and to an Underwriter or Underwriters who act without any firm being designated as its or their representatives. This Underwriting Agreement (the “Agreement”) shall not be construed as an obligation of the Operating Partnership to offer, issue or sell any of the Securities or as an obligation of any of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities. The obligation of the Operating Partnership to issue and sell any of the Securities and the obligation of any of the Underwriters to

purchase any of the Securities will be evidenced by the Pricing Agreement with respect to the Designated Securities specified therein. Each Pricing Agreement will, among other things, specify the aggregate principal amount of such Designated Securities, the initial public offering price of such Designated Securities, the purchase price to the Underwriters of such Designated Securities, the names of the Underwriters of such Designated Securities, the names of the Representatives of such Underwriters and the principal amount of such Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter and will set forth the date, time and manner of delivery of such Designated Securities and payment therefor. The Pricing Agreement will also specify (to the extent not set forth in the Indenture and registration statement and prospectus with respect thereto) the terms and conditions of such Designated Securities. The Pricing Agreement will be in the form of an executed writing (which may be in counterparts), and may be evidenced by an exchange of facsimile communications or any other rapid transmission device designed to produce a written record of communications transmitted. The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement and each Pricing Agreement will be several and not joint.

     2. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor. The Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to, and agree with, each of the Underwriters as follows:

          (a) A registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-158589) in respect of the Securities and the Guarantee have been (i) prepared by the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder, and (ii) filed with the Commission under the Securities Act and declared effective by the Commission; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been issued, and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act has been initiated or threatened by the Commission; and the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor propose to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (“Rule 424(b)”) a prospectus supplement to the form of prospectus included in such registration statement and have previously advised you of all information (financial and other) with respect to the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor to be set forth therein.

If the Operating Partnership files an abbreviated registration statement to

register additional Securities pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement. Any reference herein to the Base Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the Incorporated Documents that were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or the Securities Act, as the case may be, on or before the date of such prospectus, as the case may be; any reference herein to the terms “amendment” or “supplement”, or similar terms, with respect to the Base Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, any prospectus supplement relating to the Designated Securities filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and Incorporated Documents under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, after the issue date of such prospectus and deemed to be incorporated therein by reference; and any reference to any amendment to the Registration Statement shall be deemed to include any annual report on Form 10-K of the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the applicable effective date or dates of the Registration Statement that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

          (c) The Registration Statement and the Preliminary Prospectus conform, and the Prospectus and any further amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus will conform, in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto do not and will not, as of the applicable effective date or dates, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and when any Preliminary Prospectus was first filed with the Commission (whether filed as part of the Registration Statement for the registration of the Designated Securities or any amendment thereto or pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Securities Act) and when any amendment thereof or supplement thereto was first filed with the Commission, such Preliminary Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission

thereunder and did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representation and warranty set forth in this Section 2(c) will not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished in writing to the Operating Partnership by an Underwriter of Designated Securities through the Representatives expressly for use in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus relating to such Designated Securities.

          (e) None of the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor (including their agents and representatives, but excluding the Underwriters in their capacity as such) has made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to, nor will prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to, any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Designated Securities (each such communication by the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor or its agents or representatives not referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below, an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) except for (i) the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, (ii) any document not constituting a prospectus pursuant to Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the Securities Act or Rule 134 under the Securities Act or (iii) the documents specified in Schedule II to the applicable Pricing Agreement or other written communications approved in writing in advance by the Representatives; and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, has been filed in accordance with the Securities Act (as and if required by Rule 433 under the Securities Act) and, when taken together with the Preliminary Prospectus, did not, and at the Time of Delivery will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representation and warranty set forth in this Section 2(e) will not apply with respect to any statements or omissions made in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Operating Partnership in writing by an Underwriter

of Designated Securities through the Representatives expressly for use in such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

subject, nor do such actions result in any violation of the provisions of the declaration of trust or the by-laws of the Parent Guarantor, the certificate of limited partnership or partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, or any law, statute or any order, rule or regulation known to such counsel of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Parent Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the Operating Partnership) or any of their properties;

     (xvi) Neither the Operating Partnership nor the Parent Guarantor is, or upon the issuance and sale of the Designated Securities and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus will be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company of 1940, as amended.

     (xvii) The statements made under the caption under “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of matters of U.S. federal tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects;

     (xviii) Commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1986, the Parent Guarantor has, since the effective date of its REIT election, been organized and operated in a manner so as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Parent Guarantor’s proposed method of operation will enable it to continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT;

     (xix) The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act; the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus relating to the Designated Securities and the Guarantee were filed with the Commission within the prescribed time periods pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations under the Securities Act (as specified in such counsel’s opinion); any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus relating to the Designated Securities was filed with the Commission within the prescribed time periods pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act; and, to such counsel’s knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statements has been issued or proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act has been instituted or threatened by the Commission;

     (xx) Such counsel has no reason to believe that (A) as of their respective effective dates, the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto made by the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor prior to the Time of Delivery (other than the financial statements and related notes and schedules and other financial data therein, as to which such counsel need express no belief) contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (B) as of the Time of Sale (which such counsel may assume to be the date of the applicable Pricing Agreement), the Time of Sale Information (other than the financial statements and related notes and schedules and other financial data therein, as to which such counsel need express no belief) contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or (C) as of its date and as of the Time of Delivery, the Prospectus or any amendment or prospectus supplement thereto made by the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor prior to the Time of Delivery (other than the financial statements and related notes and schedules and other financial data therein, as to which such counsel need express no belief) contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; and such counsel do not know of any amendment to the Registration Statement required to be filed or any contracts or

other documents of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or required to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus that are not filed or incorporated by reference or described as required.

The opinions as to enforceability expressed in paragraphs (viii), (ix) and (x) above will be understood to mean only that, if there is a default in performance of an obligation, (A) if a failure to pay or other damages can be shown and (B) if the defaulting party can be brought into a court which will hear the case and apply the governing law, then, subject to the availability of defenses and to the exceptions set forth in paragraphs (viii), (ix) and (x) above, the court will provide a money damage (or, as appropriate, injunctive or specific performance) remedy;

          (d) On the date of the applicable Pricing Agreement for such Designated Securities and at the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm of the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor, which has audited the financial statements of the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries and of the Parent Guarantor and its consolidated subsidiaries, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, shall have furnished to the Representatives letters, dated the respective dates of delivery, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, containing statements and information of the type customarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus;

          (e) (i) The Parent Guarantor and its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the Operating Partnership), taken as a whole, have not sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, except as set forth in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus (without giving effect to any amendment thereof or supplement thereto subsequent to the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to the Designated Securities), except as set forth in Schedule III to the applicable Pricing Agreement, there has not been any change in the beneficial interests of the Parent Guarantor (other than (x) issuances of beneficial interests (A) pursuant to equity-based awards granted in the ordinary course of business to trustees or employees of the Parent Guarantor or the Operating Partnership, (B) upon exercise of options and upon conversion or redemption of convertible or redeemable securities, in each case which were outstanding as of the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, and (C) upon the exchange of Operating Partnership interests for beneficial interests in the Parent Guarantor and (y) repurchases of the Parent Guarantor’s beneficial interests under the Parent Guarantor’s share repurchase program) or in the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership or the capital stock, partnership, membership or beneficial interests of any of its subsidiaries, or any change in the long-term debt of the Parent Guarantor and its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the Operating

Partnership), taken as a whole, or any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the business, properties, management, results of operations, financial condition or prospects of the Parent Guarantor and its consolidated subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the Operating Partnership), taken as a whole, except as set forth in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (without giving effect to any amendment thereof or supplement thereto subsequent to the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to the Designated Securities), the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is in the judgment of the Representatives so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Designated Securities and the Guarantee on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus;

          (f) On or after the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to the Designated Securities, (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Operating Partnership’s debt securities or the Parent Guarantor’s debt securities or, if applicable, preferred shares of beneficial interest by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization”, as the term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Operating Partnership’s debt securities or the Parent Guarantor’s debt securities or preferred shares;

          (g) On or after the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to the Designated Securities, there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or declaration of national emergency or war by the United States or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or the delivery of the Designated Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus; and

          (h) The Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to the Representatives at the Time of Delivery for the Designated Securities a certificate or certificates of officers of the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor in such form and executed by such officers of the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor as shall be satisfactory to the Representatives, as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor herein at and as of such Time of Delivery, as to the performance by the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor of all of its obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to such Time of Delivery, as to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(e) and 8(f) hereof and as to such other matters (including, without limitation, with respect to compliance with debt agreements and instruments) as the Representatives may reasonably request.

     9. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and its affiliates, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof to which such Underwriter, director, officer, employee, controlling person or affiliate may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any other prospectus relating to the Designated Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Time of Sale Information, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d), or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any preliminary prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any other prospectus relating to the Designated Securities, or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Time of Sale Information, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or issuer information (as defined above) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter and each such director, officer, employee, controlling person and affiliate promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter and each such director, officer, employee, controlling person and affiliate in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, damage, liability, action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any other prospectus relating to the Designated Securities, or any such amendment or supplement, the Time of Sale Information, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Operating Partnership by any Underwriter of Designated Securities through the Representatives expressly for use in the Prospectus relating to such Designated Securities.

          (b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor and their respective trustees, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act or Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor or any of their respective trustees, officers and employees or controlling persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any other prospectus relating to the Designated Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Time of Sale Information, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such

untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any preliminary prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any other prospectus relating to the Designated Securities, or any such amendment or supplement, the Time of Sale Information, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Operating Partnership by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, and will reimburse the Operating Partnership or Parent Guarantor for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 9(a) or 9(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such Section 9(a) and 9(b). In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such Section for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing, (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (plus local counsel in each such jurisdiction) at any time for all such indemnified parties. If the indemnifying party does not assume the defense of such action, it is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (plus local counsel in each such jurisdiction) at any time for all such indemnified parties, which firms will be designated in writing by the Representatives, if the

indemnified parties under this Section 9 consist of any Underwriter of the Designated Securities or any of its respective directors, officers, employees; controlling persons or affiliates, or by the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor, if the indemnified parties under this Section 9 consist of the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor or any of their respective trustees, officers or controlling persons. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim for monetary damages which an indemnified party may effect without the consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party will, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim), unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. For purposes of this Section 9, references to “counsel” shall include a firm of attorneys.

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 9(a) or 9(b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Designated Securities on the other from the offering of the Designated Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under Section 9(c) above, then each indemnifying party will contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits referred to in the immediately preceding sentence but also the relative fault of the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Designated Securities on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Operating Partnership, or the Parent Guarantor on the one hand and such Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor bear to the total commissions or discounts received by such Underwriters in respect thereof. The relative fault will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading relates to information supplied by the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor on the one hand or by any such Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Operating Partnership, the Parent Guarantor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such

purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 9(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 9(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9(d), no Underwriter will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total public offering price at which the applicable Designated Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters of Designated Securities in this Section 9(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such Designated Securities and not joint.

          (e) The obligations of the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor under this Section 9 will be in addition to any liability which the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor may otherwise have and will extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director, officer and employee of any Underwriter and to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and to each affiliate of any Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 will be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and will extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to the respective trustees, officers and employees of the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor and to each person, if any, who controls the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

     10. Defaulting Underwriters. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Designated Securities which it has agreed to purchase under the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for themselves or another party or other parties to purchase such Designated Securities on the terms contained herein. If within 36 hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Designated Securities, then the Operating Partnership will be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Designated Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed period, the Representatives notify the Operating Partnership that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Designated Securities, or the Operating Partnership notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Designated Securities, the Representatives or the Operating Partnership will have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Operating Partnership agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the opinion of the Representatives may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement will include any

person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to the Pricing Agreement with respect to such Designated Securities.

          (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Operating Partnership as provided in Section 10(a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Designated Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of the Designated Securities, then the Operating Partnership will have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase under the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro-rata share (based on the principal amount of Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase under such Pricing Agreement) of the Designated Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

          (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Operating Partnership as provided in Section 10(a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Designated Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of the Designated Securities as referred to in Section 10(b) above, or if the Operating Partnership will not exercise the right described in Section 10(b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Operating Partnership, except for the expenses to be borne by the Operating Partnership and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

     11. Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Guarantor and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any director, officer, employee or controlling person or affiliate of any Underwriter, or the Operating Partnership or Parent Guarantor, or any trustee, officer, employee or controlling person of the Operating Partnership or Parent Guarantor, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

     12. Termination. If any Pricing Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof or if any condition in Section 8(g)(i), 8(g)(iii) or 8(g)(iv) hereof is not satisfied, the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor will not then be under any liability to any Underwriter with respect to the Designated Securities covered by such Pricing Agreement except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof, but, if for any other reason, Designated Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Operating Partnership as provided herein, the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor will reimburse the Underwriters through the Representatives for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the Representatives, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for

     16. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement will be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Operating Partnership, the Parent Guarantor and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the trustees, directors, officers and employees of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Guarantor or any Underwriter and each person who controls the Operating Partnership, the Parent Guarantor or any Underwriter or the affiliates of any Underwriter, and their respective

heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person will acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement or any such Pricing Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

     17. Time of Essence. Time shall be of the essence of each Pricing Agreement. As used herein, “business day” means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is open for trading.

     18. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH PRICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (the “Securities”), issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of October 22, 2004, as supplemented (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Brandywine Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Parent Guarantor”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of Securities of which this Note is a part), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are to be authenticated and delivered. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series of Securities designated as the “4.95% Guaranteed Notes due 2018” of the Issuer (the “Notes”), initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $325,000,000. The Issuer may, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders, issue and sell additional Securities ranking equally with the Notes and otherwise identical in all respects (except for their date of issuance, issue price and the date from which interest payments thereon will accrue) so that such additional Securities will be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes.

          The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to the due and punctual payment of principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Notes by the Parent Guarantor.

          All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture will have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

          The Issuer may redeem this Note, at any time, in whole or in part, at its option as follows:

          If this Note is redeemed before the date that is 30 days prior to the maturity date of this Note, this Note shall be redeemed at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Note then outstanding to be redeemed, and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Note to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points (“Make-Whole Amount”), plus, in the case of either (i) or (ii) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”). If this Note is redeemed at any time on or after the date that is 30 days before the maturity date of this Note, the Redemption Price will equal 100% of the principal

amount of the Note then outstanding to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the Redemption Date.

          The following terms have the meanings specified below:

          “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date either (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life (as defined below), yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month), or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the Calculation Date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date (the “Calculation Date”).

          “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.

          “Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer quotations, the average of all such quotations.

          “Independent Investment Banker” means any of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC or Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as specified by the Issuer, or, if these firms are unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Issuer.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) selected by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and their respective successors; provided, however, that, if any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Issuer will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any two other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Issuer after consultation with the Independent Investment Banker.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.

          If notice has been given as provided in the Indenture and funds for the redemption of this Note or any part thereof called for redemption will have been made available on the Redemption Date, this Note or such part thereof will cease to accrue interest on the Redemption Date referred to in such notice and the only right of the Holder will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price. Notice of any optional redemption of any Notes will be given to the Holder hereof (in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture), at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. The notice of redemption will specify, among other things, the Redemption Price and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms and provisions as this Note will be issued by the Issuer in the name of the Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.

          This Note is not subject to repayment at the option of the Holder thereof. In addition, this Note is not entitled to the benefit of, and is not subject to, any sinking fund.

          In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on this Note may automatically become or may be declared, and upon such declaration will become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

          The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected thereby, no such supplemental indenture will, among other things: (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, (ii) reduce the principal amount of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security; (iii) change the Place of Payment on any Security or the currency or currency unit in which any Security or the principal thereof or premium, if any, or interest thereon is payable; (iv) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date); (v) reduce or alter the method of computation of any amount payable upon redemption, repayment or purchase of any Security by the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor (or the time when such redemption, repayment or purchase may be made); (vi) modify or affect in any manner adverse to Holders of any Securities the terms of the obligations of the Parent Guarantor in respect of the due and punctual payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interests on any Security; or (vii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any particular series, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture. The Indenture also permits the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor

and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures, without the consent of any Holders of the Notes, to, among other things: (i) evidence the succession of another person as obligor or a guarantor under the Indenture; (ii) add covenants of the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor for the benefit of Holders of Securities; (iii) add events of default for the benefit of Holders of Securities; (iv) secure, or add additional guarantees with respect to, the Securities; (v) provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee; (vi) cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the Indenture, provided that such action will not adversely affect the interests of Holders of Securities of any series in any material respects; and (vii) supplement any provisions of the Indenture to permit or facilitate defeasance or discharge of any series of Securities provided that such action will not adversely affect the interests of Holders of Securities of any series in any material respect.

          The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences with respect to a Security, except a default in the payment of principal of or interest, if any, on such Security or a default with respect to a covenant or provision of the Indenture, which cannot be amended without the consent of the Holder of such Security.

          This Note is issuable only in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. If (x) the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, (y) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Issuer Order to the effect that this Note will be exchangeable or (z) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes, this Note will be exchangeable for Notes in definitive form and in an equal aggregate principal amount. Such definitive Notes will be registered in such name or names as the Depositary will instruct the Trustee.

          As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and above, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register of the Issuer, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer duly executed by, the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture will alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and the Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed, or impair the obligations of the Parent Guarantor in respect of their unconditional guarantees of the aforementioned payments.

          No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

          Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the Holder of this Note for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or the Trustee nor any such agent will be affected by notice to the contrary.

          Certain of the Issuer’s and the Parent Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to any series of Securities may be terminated if the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money or Government Obligations sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all such Securities, as provided in the Indenture.

          No recourse will be had for the payment of the principal of or Make-Whole Amount, if any, or the interest, if any, on this Note, or for any claim based thereon, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor in the Indenture, against any incorporator, limited partner, shareholder, trustee, director, officer or employee, as such, past, present of future, of the Issuer, of the Parent Guarantor or of any successor entity to the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment of penalty or otherwise; and all such personal liability is expressly released and waived as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the issuance of this Note.

          The Indenture and the Notes will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
