Ladies and Gentlemen:
Brandywine Realty Trust, a real estate investment trust
organized under the laws of the State of Maryland (the "Company"), proposes to
sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the
"Underwriters"), subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, 2,000,000
shares (the "Firm Shares") of its 7.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Shares, par value $0.01 per share, liquidation preference $25.00 per share (the
"Series C Preferred Shares"), of the Company. The Company also proposes to grant
to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to 300,000 Shares of Series C
Preferred Stock to cover over-allotments (the "Additional Shares"; the
Additional Shares, together with the Firm Shares, being hereinafter called the
"Shares"). To the extent there are no additional underwriters listed on Schedule
I other than you, the term "Underwriters" as used herein shall mean the singular
or plural as the context requires. Bear, Xxxxxxx & Co. Inc. ("Bear Xxxxxxx") is
acting as lead manager in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares
(the "Offering"). The use of the neuter in this Agreement shall include the
feminine and masculine wherever appropriate.
The Company, directly and through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
is the sole general partner and a limited partner of Brandywine Operating
Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership").
The Company owns its assets and conducts its operations through the Operating
Partnership and through subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. As of
September 30, 2003, the Company's ownership interest in the Operating
Partnership entitled the Company to approximately 95.6% of the Operating
Partnership's distributions after distributions by the Operating Partnership to
holders of its preferred units. The Company will contribute the net proceeds of
the sale of the Securities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for
additional partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. The Company and
the Operating Partnership wish to confirm as follows their agreement with the
Underwriters, in connection with the purchase of the Shares by such
Underwriters.
1. Representations and Warranties. The Company and the Operating
Partnership jointly and severally represent and warrant to, and agree with, each
Underwriter as set forth below in this Section 1.
(a) A registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-56237), with
respect to the Shares, including a base prospectus dated February 9, 1999,
was prepared by the Company in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the rules and
regulations (the "Rules and Regulations") of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"), was filed with the Commission and declared
effective. The registration statement and prospectus may have been amended
or supplemented prior to the date of this Agreement; any such amendment or
supplement was prepared and filed, and any such amendment filed after the
effective date of such registration statement has been declared effective.
No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement has
been issued, and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted, or to
the Company's knowledge, threatened by the Commission. A prospectus
supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") setting forth the terms of the
Offering, sale and plan of distribution of the Shares and additional
information concerning the Company and its business has been or will be
prepared and, together with the prospectus included in the registration
statement, will be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and
Regulations on or before the second business day after the date hereof (or
such earlier time as may be required by the Rules and Regulations). The
registration statement, as it may have heretofore been amended and at the
time it became effective, is referred to herein as the "Registration
Statement," and the final form of prospectus included in the Registration
Statement, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form filed
by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Rules
and Regulations, is referred to herein as the "Prospectus", except that if
any revised prospectus or prospectus supplement shall be provided to the
Underwriters by the Company for use in connection with the Offering which
differs from the Prospectus (whether or not such revised prospectus or
prospectus supplement is required to be filed by the Company pursuant to
Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations), the term "Prospectus" shall refer
to such revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, as the case may be,
from and after the time it is first provided to the Underwriters for such
use. Copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, any amendments
or supplements thereto and all documents incorporated by reference therein
that were filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this
Agreement have been delivered to the Underwriters and their counsel. Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus subject to completion included in the
Registration Statement or filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424
under the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations is hereafter called a
"Preliminary Prospectus." Any reference herein to the Registration
Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to
refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein
pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), on or before the
Effective Date, the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the date of the
Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference herein to the terms
"amend", "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Registration
Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to
refer to and include (i) the filing of any document under the Exchange Act
2
after the Effective Date, the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the
date of the Prospectus, as the case may be, which is incorporated therein by
reference and (ii) any such document so filed. For purposes of this
Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any
Preliminary Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be
deemed to include any copy filed with the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis
and Retrieval System (XXXXX), and such copy shall be identical in content to
any Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with the
Offering.
(b) The Registration Statement, when it became or becomes effective,
and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of its date,
on the date of filing thereof with the Commission and at the Closing Date
(as hereinafter defined) and, if later, at any Additional Closing Date (as
hereinafter defined), complied or will comply in all material respects with
the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and
Regulations; the Registration Statement, when it became or becomes
effective, or when it was filed with the Commission, did not or 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 not misleading; the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement
thereto, as of its date, on the date of the filing thereof with the
Commission and at the Closing Date and, if later, at any Additional Closing
Date, did not or will not include an untrue statement of a material fact
required to be stated therein or omit to state a material fact necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. When any related Preliminary Prospectus was first
filed with the Commission (whether filed as part of the registration
statement for the registration of the Shares 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, the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations and did not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact and did not 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 Company and the Operating
Partnership make no representations or warranties as to the information
contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
(or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by the Underwriter
specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
(or any supplement thereto).
(c) The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference in the Prospectus, at the time they were or hereafter are filed
with the Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects with
the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations, and did

state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

(v) The Company has filed all foreign, federal, state and local tax
returns that are required to be filed or has requested extensions thereof
(except in any case in which the failure so to file would not have a
material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise),
prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in
the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in

properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or
not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as
set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement
thereto). The Company and the Subsidiaries are organized and operate in the
manner described in the Registration Statement so that the Company meets the
requirements for qualification as a real estate investment trust under
Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), and the rules and regulations thereunder as currently in
effect. Each Subsidiary, including without limitation, the Operating
Partnership, that is a partnership or limited liability company will be
treated as a partnership, and not as an association taxable as a corporation
or a publicly traded partnership, for federal income tax purposes, except
for e-Tenants LLC, which has elected to be taxed as a corporation.
(w) No labor problem or dispute with the employees of the Company or
any of the Subsidiaries exists or is threatened or imminent, and the Company
is not aware of any existing or imminent labor disturbance by the employees
of any of its or its Subsidiaries' principal suppliers, contractors or

Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from
transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or
contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) and has
paid all taxes required to be paid by it and any other assessment, fine or
penalty levied against it, to the extent that any of the foregoing is due
and payable, except for any such assessment, fine or penalty that is

adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects,
earnings, business or properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken
as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course
of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto).
(x) The Company and each of the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of
recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in
such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which they
are engaged; all policies of insurance insuring the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, assets, employees, officers and
directors are in full force and effect; the Company and the Subsidiaries are
in compliance with the terms of such policies and instruments in all
material respects; and there are no claims by the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance
company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights
clause; neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any
insurance coverage sought or applied for; and neither the Company nor any
such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew
its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to
obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to
continue its business at a cost that would not have a material adverse
effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings,
business or properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of
business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto).
8
(y) No consolidated Subsidiary is currently prohibited, directly or
indirectly, from paying any dividends to the Company, from making any other
distribution on such Subsidiary's capital stock or other equity, from
repaying to the Company any loans or advances to such Subsidiary from the
Company or from transferring any of such Subsidiary's property or assets to
the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company, except as described in
or contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) and
except that the Subsidiaries that are identified as "Joint Ventures" on
Schedule I require the consent of the joint venture partners listed on
Schedule I as a condition to making such payments or transfers and except
that following an event of default under the loan documents encumbering the
properties owned by a Subsidiary such Subsidiary may be prohibited from
making distributions to the Company.
(z) The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all licenses,
certificates, permits and other authorizations issued by the appropriate
federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has
received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit which, singly
or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or
finding, would have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and
the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions
in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated
in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
(aa) The Company and each of the Subsidiaries maintain a system of
internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that
(i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or
specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii)
access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general
or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets
is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate
action is taken with respect to any differences.
(bb) The Company has not taken, directly or indirectly, any action
designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to
cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or
manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the
sale or resale of the Shares.
9
(cc) (i) The Company and the Subsidiaries are (A) in compliance with
any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and
regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the
environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or
contaminants ("Environmental Laws"), (B) have received and are in compliance
with all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under
applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (C)
have not received notice of any actual or potential liability under any
environmental law, except where such non-compliance with Environmental Laws,
failure to receive required permits, licenses or other approvals, or
liability would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material
adverse effect in the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects,
earnings, business or properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken
as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course
of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto). Except as set forth in the
Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of the subsidiaries has been named
as a "potentially responsible party" under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended.
(ii) In the ordinary course of its business, the Company
periodically reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on the business,
operations and properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in the
course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating
expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance
with Environmental Laws, or any permit, license or approval, any
related constraints on operating activities and any potential
liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review, the Company
has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities
would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect
on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings,
business or properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course
of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto).
(dd) The minimum funding standard under Section 302 of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and
published interpretations thereunder ("ERISA"), has been satisfied by each
"pension plan" (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) which has been
established or maintained by the Company and/or one or more of its
subsidiaries, and the trust forming part of each such plan which is intended
to be qualified under Section 401 of the Code is so qualified; each of the
Company and its subsidiaries has fulfilled its obligations, if any, under
Section 515 of ERISA; neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries
maintains or is required to contribute to a "welfare plan" (as defined in
Section 3(1) of ERISA) which provides retiree or other post-employment
welfare benefits or insurance coverage (other than "continuation coverage"
(as defined in Section 602 of ERISA)); each pension plan and welfare plan
established or maintained by the Company and/or one or more of its
subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with the currently
applicable provisions of ERISA; and neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries has incurred or could reasonably be expected to incur any
withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA, any liability under
Section 4062, 4063, or 4064 of ERISA, or any other liability under Title IV
of ERISA. The assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries do not, and as of
the Closing Date will not, constitute "plan assets" under ERISA.

Company and any of the Company's directors or officers, in their capacities
as such, to comply with any provision of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and
the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the "Sarbanes
Oxley Act"), including Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906
related to certifications.

the knowledge of the Company and the Operating Partnership, any director,

that would result in a violation by such Persons of the FCPA, including,

of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment,
promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other
property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything
of value to any "foreign official" (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or
any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign
political office, in contravention of the FCPA and the Company, its
subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Company, its affiliates have
conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted
and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are
reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith.
"FCPA" means Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as
amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.
(gg) The operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries are

During the period of at least the last 24 calendar months prior to the date
of this Agreement, the Company has timely filed with the Commission all
documents and other material required to be filed pursuant to Sections 13,

pursuant to outstanding options, rights or warrants as described in the
Prospectus.
Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and
delivered to the Underwriters or counsel for the Underwriters in connection with
the offering of the Shares shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the
Company and by the Operating Partnership, as to matters covered thereby, to each
Underwriter.
2. Purchase and Sale. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions
and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the
Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees,
severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of
$24.0625 per share, the Firm Shares set forth opposite such Underwriter's name
in Schedule I hereto.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties herein set forth, the Company hereby grants an
option to the several Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to
300,000, in the aggregate Additional Shares at the same purchase price per share
as the Underwriters shall pay for the Firm Shares. Such option may be exercised
13
only to cover over-allotments in the sale of the Firm Shares by the
Underwriters. Such option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time on or
before the 30th day after the date of the Prospectus upon written or telegraphic
notice by Bear Xxxxxxx to the Company setting forth the number of shares of the
Additional Shares as to which the several Underwriters are exercising the option
and the settlement date. In the event that the Underwriters exercise less than
their full over-allotment option, the number of Additional Shares to be sold by
the Company to each Underwriter shall be, as nearly as practicable, in the same
proportion as the maximum number of Additional Shares to be sold by the Company
and the number of Additional Shares to be sold. The number of Additional Shares
to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the same percentage of the total
number of shares of the Additional Shares to be purchased by the several
Underwriters as such Underwriter is purchasing of the Firm Shares, subject to
such adjustments as you in your absolute discretion shall make to eliminate any
fractional shares.
3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Firm
Shares and the Additional Shares (if the option provided for in Section 2(b)
hereof shall have been exercised on or before the first Business Day (as defined
herein) prior to the Closing Date) shall be made at 10:00 AM, New York City
time, on December 30, 2003, or at such time on such later date not more than
three Business Days after the foregoing date as the Underwriters shall
designate, which date and time may be postponed by agreement among the
Underwriters and the Company or as provided in Section 10 hereof (such date and
time of delivery and payment for the Shares being herein called the "Closing
Date"). Delivery of the Shares shall be made to Bear Xxxxxxx for the respective
accounts of the several Underwriters against payment by the several Underwriters
through Bear Xxxxxxx of the purchase price of the Shares being sold by wire
transfer payable in same-day funds to the account specified by the Company.
Delivery of the Firm Shares and the Additional Shares shall be made through the
facilities of The Depository Trust Company unless Bear Xxxxxxx shall otherwise
instruct.
If the option provided for in Section 2(b) hereof is exercised
after the first Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Company will deliver
the Additional Shares (at the expense of the Company) to Bear Xxxxxxx, at 000
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, xx the date specified by Bear Xxxxxxx (which
shall be within three Business Days after exercise of such option) for the
respective accounts of the several Underwriters, against payment by the several
Underwriters through Bear Xxxxxxx of the purchase price thereof by wire transfer
payable in same-day funds to the account specified by the Company. If settlement
for the Additional Shares occurs after the Closing Date, the Company will
deliver to the Representatives on the settlement date for the Additional Shares
and the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase the Additional Shares shall
be conditioned upon receipt of, supplemental opinions, certificates and letters
confirming as of such date the opinions, certificates and letters delivered on
the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6 hereof.
4. Offering by Underwriters. It is understood that the several
Underwriters propose to offer the Shares for sale to the public as set forth in
the Prospectus.
5. Agreements. The Company agrees with the several
Underwriters that:
(a) The Company will cause the Prospectus Supplement to be
filed as required by Section 1(a) hereof (but only if the Underwriters
or Underwriter' Counsel have not reasonably objected thereto by notice
to the Company after having been furnished a copy a reasonable time
prior to filing) and will notify the Underwriters promptly of such
filing.
14
(b) The Company will notify you (and, if requested by you,
will confirm such notice in writing) of (i) any request by the
Commission for any amendment of or supplement to the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information, (ii) the
mailing or the delivery to the Commission for filing of any amendment
of or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, (iii)
the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto or of the initiation, or the threatening, of any
proceedings therefor, (iv) the receipt of any comments from the
Commission, and (v) the receipt by the Company of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for sale
in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for that purpose. If the Commission shall propose or enter a stop order
at any time, the Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent
the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain the
lifting of such order as soon as possible. The Company will prepare and
file with the Commission, promptly upon the Underwriters' request, any
amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus that, in the Underwriters' opinion, may be necessary or
advisable in connection with the Underwriters' distribution of the
Shares; and the Company will not file any amendment to the Registration
Statement or any amendment of or supplement to the Prospectus (other
than any prospectus supplement relating to the offering of other
securities registered under the Registration Statement or any document
required to be filed under the Exchange Act that upon filing is deemed
to be incorporated by reference therein) that differs from the
prospectus on file at the time of the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement before or after the effective date of the Registration
Statement to which you shall reasonably object in writing after being
timely furnished in advance a copy thereof.
(c) The Company shall comply with the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations to permit completion of the
distribution as contemplated in this Agreement, the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus. If at any time when a prospectus relating
to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act any event shall have occurred as a result of which the
Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would, in the judgment of
the Underwriters or the Company, include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it
shall be necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus or
Registration Statement to comply with the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act or the Rules and Regulations, the Company will notify you
promptly and prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate
amendment or supplement (at the expense of the Company and in form and
substance satisfactory to you) which will correct such statement or
omission and will use its best efforts to have any amendment to the
Registration Statement declared effective as soon as possible.
15
(d) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally
available to its security holders and to the Underwriters an earnings
statement or statements of the Company and the Subsidiaries which will
satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under
the Act.

Preliminary Prospectus by the Underwriters in accordance with Section
5(b) of the Securities Act.

counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the
Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and to each other
Underwriter a copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits)
and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or a dealer
may be required by the Act, as many copies of each Preliminary
Prospectus and the Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the
Representatives may reasonably request. The Company will pay the
expenses of printing or other production of all documents relating to
the offering.

the Registration Statement, to furnish to you copies of all reports or
other communications (financial or other) furnished to security
holders, and the Company will deliver to you (i) as soon as practicable
after the filing thereof, copies of any reports and financial
statements furnished to or filed with the Commission or any national
securities exchange on which any class of securities of the Company are
listed (but only to the extent such reports and financial statements
are not publicly available on XXXXX); and (ii) such additional
information concerning the business and financial condition of the
Company as you may from time to time reasonably request; provided,
however, in the case of clause (ii), that to the extent that the
furnishing of such information to you would, in the reasonable judgment
of the Company, require the Company to make public disclosure thereof
pursuant to Regulation FD under the Exchange Act, you shall execute and
deliver to the Company a confidentiality agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company as a precondition to
receipt of the requested information.
(h) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the
qualification of the Shares for sale under the laws of such
jurisdictions as the Underwriters may designate, will maintain such
qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of
the Shares and will pay any fee of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., in connection with its review of the
offering; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to
qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so
qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of
process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale
of the Shares, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.
(i) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of
the Shares as set forth under "Use of Proceeds" in the Prospectus.
(j) The Company, during the period when the Prospectus is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act,
will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Rules and
Regulations within the time periods required thereby.
16
(k) The Company will comply with all applicable securities and
other applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without
limitation, the Sarbanes Oxley Act, and will use its best efforts to
cause the Company's trustees and officers, in their capacities as such,
to comply with such laws, rules and regulations, including, without
limitation, the provisions of the Sarbanes Oxley Act.
(l) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any
action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be
expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise,
stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the
Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.
(m) The Company will not be or become, at any time prior to
the expiration of three years after the date of the Agreement, an
"investment company," as such term is defined in the Investment Company
Act.
(n) The Company will use its best efforts to continue to meet
the requirements to qualify as a "real estate investment trust" under
the Code for each of its taxable years for so long as the Board of
Trustees of the Company deems it in the best interests of the Company's
stockholders to remain so qualified.
(o) For a period commencing on the date hereof and ending 30
days following the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of
Bear Xxxxxxx, the Company shall not authorize or effect the sale or
issuance, or agree to sell or issue, any shares of Series C Preferred
Shares or any parity or senior equity securities with respect to the
Series C Preferred Shares (as to dividend rights, or rights upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up), except for the sales to the
Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement.
(p) Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company
hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses incident to the performance
of the obligations of the Company hereunder, including the following:
(i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company's counsel and
accountants in connection with the registration of the Shares under the
Securities Act and all other expenses in connection with the
preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement, any

supplements thereto and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to

Shares for offering and sale under state securities laws, including the
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection
with such qualification and in connection with any Blue Sky survey;

(other than as shall have been specifically approved by the
Underwriters in writing to be paid for by the Underwriters); (vi) any
stock transfer taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement or the
Offering; and (vii) the filing fees incident to, and the fees and

preparing stock certificates representing the Shares; (ii) the cost and

6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The
obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Firm Shares and the Additional
Shares, as the case may be, shall be subject to the accuracy of the
representations and warranties on the part of the Company and the Operating
Partnership contained herein as of the Execution Time, the Closing Date and any
settlement date pursuant to Section 3 hereof, to the accuracy of the statements
of the Company and the Operating Partnership made in any certificates pursuant

such later time and date as shall have been consented to in writing by

that in the opinion of the Underwriters or the Underwriters' Counsel is
required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, contains an untrue statement of fact that in the
opinion of the Underwriters or the Underwriters' counsel is material or
omits to state a material fact that in the opinion of the Underwriters
or the Underwriters' counsel is material and is required to be stated
therein or necessary, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, to make the statements therein not misleading.
18
(c) The Company shall have requested and caused Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Company, to have furnished to Bear
Xxxxxxx, as lead manager, their opinion dated the Closing Date and
addressed to the Underwriters to the effect set forth in Exhibit A
attached hereto. In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely (A)
as to matters involving the application of laws of any jurisdiction
other than the States of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware or the
Federal laws of the United States, to the extent they deem proper and
specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good
standing whom they believe to be reliable and who are satisfactory to
counsel for the Underwriters and (B) as to matters of fact, to the
extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the
Company and public officials. References to the Prospectus in this

such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the
Underwriters, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Shares, the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus (together with any supplement
thereto) and other related matters as Bear Xxxxxxx may reasonably
require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such
documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon
such matters.
(e) The Company shall have furnished to the Representatives a
certificate of the Company, signed by the President and Chief Executive
Officer and the principal financial or accounting officer of the
Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such

Prospectus, any supplements to the Prospectus and this Agreement and
that:
(i) the representations and warranties of the Company in
this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing
Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and
the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied
all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at

(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for
that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company's

Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has
been no material adverse effect on the condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not
arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business,
except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto).
19
(f) The Company shall have requested and caused KPMG LLP and
PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PWC") to have furnished to the
Underwriters, at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters,

any supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or
decrease specified in the letters referred to in paragraph (f) of this
Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a

otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from
transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in
or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto)
the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii)
above, is, in the sole judgment of Bear Xxxxxxx, so material and
adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the
offering or delivery of the shares as contemplated by the Registration
Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Prospectus
(exclusive of any supplement thereto).
(h) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have
furnished to the Underwriters such further information, certificates

the Underwriters, at 00 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, on the
Closing Date.
7. Reimbursement of Underwriters' Expenses. If the sale of the
Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the
obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied,
because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any
refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any
agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a
default by the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters
severally through Bear Xxxxxxx on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been
incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the
Shares.
8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company and the
Operating Partnership jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless
each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each
Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of
either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become
subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state
statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of the Shares
as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto,
or arise out of or are based upon 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, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified
party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Operating
Partnership 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 any such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by the Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company and
the Operating Partnership may otherwise have.
(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its trustees, each of
its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who
controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the
Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity to each
Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to
such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such
Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in
the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity
agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter
21
may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set
forth on the cover page regarding delivery of the Shares and, under the
heading "Underwriting," the paragraph related to stabilization,
syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in any Preliminary
Prospectus and the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished
in writing by or on behalf of the Underwriters for inclusion in any
Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party
in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify
the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under
paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not
otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the
forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses
and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from
any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification
obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying
party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party's
choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified
party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case
the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees
and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party
or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such
counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding
the indemnifying party's election to appoint counsel to represent the
indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the
indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses
of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the
indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present
such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential
defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii)
the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to
the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a
reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv)
the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ
separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An
indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of
any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action,
suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution
may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are
actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of
each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim,
action, suit or proceeding.
22
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a),
(b) or (c) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold
harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the
Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, and the Underwriters
severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages
and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively
"Losses") to which the Company, the Operating Partnership and the
Underwriters, may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating
Partnership on the one hand, and by the Underwriters on the other from
the offering of the Shares; provided, however, that in no case shall
(i) any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among
underwriters relating to the offering of the Shares) be responsible for
any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission
applicable to the Shares purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If
the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is
unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Operating Partnership,
jointly and severally, and the Underwriters severally shall contribute
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative
benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Operating
Partnership on the one hand and of the Underwriters, on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits
received by the Company and the Operating Partnership shall be deemed
to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Offering (before
deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the
Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting
discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page
of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information provided by the Company and the
Operating Partnership on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other,
the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement
or omission. The Company and the Operating Partnership and the
Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method
of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each
person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee
and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution
as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within
the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each
officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement
and each trustee of the Company shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable
terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).
23
9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters
shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Shares agreed to be purchased by
such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall
constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this
Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up
and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Shares set forth
opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of
Shares set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the
Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to
purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of
Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to
purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Shares set forth in
Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase
all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Shares, and
if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Shares, this
Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter, the
Operating Partnership or the Company. In the event of a default by any
Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed
for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall
determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of
its liability, if any, to the Company, the Operating Partnership and any
nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to
termination in the absolute discretion of Bear Xxxxxxx, by notice given to the
Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Shares if at any time prior to
such time (A) there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or
since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus,
any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the
earnings business affairs or business prospects of the Company; or (B) any
domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted,
or in your opinion will in the immediate future materially disrupt, the market
for the Company's securities or securities in general; or (C) if trading in any
securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the
Commission or the NYSE, or if trading on the NYSE shall have been suspended, or
minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges
for prices for securities shall have been required, by the NYSE or by order of
the Commission or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction; or (D)
if a banking moratorium has been declared by any state or federal authority or
if any new restriction materially adversely affecting the distribution of the
Firm Shares or the Additional Shares, as the case may be, shall have become
effective or if a material disruption in commercial banking or securities
settlement or clearance services shall have occurred; or (E) (i) there has
occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism
involving the United States or there is a declaration of a national emergency or
war by the United States or (ii) there shall have been any other such calamity
or crisis or any change in political, financial or economic conditions, if the
effect of any such event in (i) or (ii) as in your judgment makes it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale and delivery of
the Firm Shares or the Additional Shares, as the case may be, on the terms and
in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus.
11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective
agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities, contribution agreements
and other statements of the Company or the Operating Partnership or its officers
or partners and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this
Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Operating Partnership or the
Company or any of the officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents or
controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery
of and payment for the Shares. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall
survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
---------
1. The Company is a real estate investment trust duly formed
and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Maryland and is in
good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland, including with the State
Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland. The Company has the full
trust power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to
conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus and is duly registered and qualified to conduct its business and is
in good standing in each jurisdiction or place where the nature of its
properties or the conduct of its business as described in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus requires such registration or qualification, except
where the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the
condition (financial or otherwise), business, prospects, properties or earnings
of the Company.
2. Each of the Subsidiaries is a corporation, limited
liability company, limited partnership or general partnership duly incorporated
or formed, as the case may be, validly existing and in good standing, as the
case may be, under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation,
with full corporate, limited liability company, or partnership power and
authority, as the case may be, to own, lease, and operate its properties and to
conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus, and is duly registered and qualified to conduct its business in each
jurisdiction or place where the nature of its properties or the conduct of its
business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus requires
such registration or qualification, except where the failure to so qualify would
not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise),
business, prospects, properties or earnings of such Subsidiary.
3. The authorized beneficial interest of the Company
(including, but not limited to, any options, warrants or other securities
convertible into or exchangeable shares of beneficial interest of the Company)
is as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement, and
the Shares conform in all material respects to the description thereof in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement. All the outstanding shares
of beneficial interest of the Company outstanding prior to the issuance of the
Shares have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and
nonassessable, and are free of any preemptive or other rights to subscribe for
the Shares under Maryland law or any agreements entered into by the Company and
identified under Item 15 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2002, as amended by the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A-1.
4. The Shares have been duly and validly authorized and, when
issued and delivered to the Underwriters against payment therefor in accordance
with the terms of the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free of any preemptive or other rights to subscribe for the
Shares under Maryland law or any agreements entered into by the Company and
identified under Item 15 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2002, as amended by the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A-1.
5. To our knowledge after due inquiry, except as set forth on
Schedule I to the Officer's Certificate, there are no outstanding options,
warrants or other rights to purchase, calling for the issuance of, or any
commitment, plan or arrangement to issue, any shares of beneficial interest of
the Company or any security or other right or obligation convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for shares of beneficial interest of the Company.
There is no holder of any security of the Company or any other person who has
the statutory right or, to our knowledge after due inquiry, the contractual or
other right, to cause the Company to sell or otherwise issue to him, or to
permit him to underwrite the sale of, the Shares or the right to have any common
shares or other securities of the Company included in the Registration Statement
or the right, as a result of the filing of the Registration Statement or sale of
the Shares as provided in the Agreement, to require registration under the Act
of any common shares or other securities of the Company.
6. All of the outstanding units of limited and general
partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (the "Units"), and the
partnership and membership interests in each of the other Subsidiaries that is a
partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, were created under
the agreements forming the Operating Partnership and such other Subsidiaries, as
the case may be, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock
of each of the Subsidiaries that is a corporation have been duly authorized and
validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable. To our knowledge after due
inquiry, except as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
(or any amendment or supplement thereto) or Schedule II to the Officer's
Certificate, all such Units, partnership interests and shares of capital stock
are owned by the Company directly, or indirectly through one of the
Subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, lien, adverse claim,
equity or other encumbrance, and, to our knowledge after due inquiry, the
Company's ownership interest in the Operating Partnership, and the Company's and
the Operating Partnership's respective ownership interest in each of the
Subsidiaries, is as set forth on Schedule II attached hereto (without giving
effect to the issuance of the Shares). Except as described in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), there are
no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to purchase, calling for the
issuance of, or any commitment, plan or arrangement to issue, any equity
interests in any Subsidiary, or any security or other right or obligation
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such interests in any
such Subsidiary. The terms of the Units conform in all material respects to
statements and descriptions thereof contained in the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus. The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating
Partnership. The Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule II attached hereto include
all of the "significant subsidiaries" of the Company, as such term is defined by
Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X.
7. The Company has the full trust power and authority, and the
Operating Partnership has the requisite partnership power and authority, to
enter into the Agreement, and in the case of the Company, to issue, sell and
deliver the Shares to the Underwriters as provided in the Agreement, and the
Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company and the Operating Partnership, as applicable, and is the legal, valid
and binding agreement of each of the Company and the Operating Partnership, as
applicable, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms.
8. The form of certificate representing the Shares is in due
and proper form and complies in all material respects with all applicable
Maryland statutory requirements and the rules and regulations of the New York
Stock Exchange.
9. To our knowledge after due inquiry, neither the Company nor
any of the Subsidiaries is in violation of its respective Declaration of Trust,
certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws, partnership agreement,
operating agreement or other organizational documents or is in default in the
performance of any material obligation, agreement or condition contained in any
bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness.
10. With respect to the Company and the Subsidiaries, neither
the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares, the execution, delivery or
performance of the Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby by the Company or the Subsidiaries, as applicable: (i)
required or requires, with respect to the Company or the Subsidiaries, any
consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration or filing
with, any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental
body, agency or official, or the New York Stock Exchange (except (a) such as has
been made or obtained and (b) as to state securities or Blue Sky laws, as to
which we express no opinion); (ii) conflicted with or conflicts with,
constituted or constitutes, or resulted in or results in, a breach or violation
of, or a default under, the Declaration of Trust, Articles Supplementary,
certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws, partnership agreement or
other organizational documents, of any of such entities, or under any indenture,
contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or
other agreement, obligation, condition covenant or instrument to which any of
such entities is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective
properties or assets are bound or subject to; (iii) violated or violates any
statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, injunction, order or decree applicable
to any of such entities or any of their respective properties or assets; or (iv)
resulted or will result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance upon the property or assets of any of such entities pursuant to the
terms of any agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or by which
any of them may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of any of
them is subject.
11. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is, and
after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares and the application
of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus (and any amendment or
supplement thereto) will be, an "investment company" as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
12. To our knowledge after due inquiry, (i) there are no
pending or threatened actions, suits or proceedings against the Company or any
of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective trustees, directors or officers
in their capacity as such, or to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or
any of their respective trustees, directors or officers in their capacity as
such, or any of their respective properties or assets, is subject, that are of a
character which is required to be described in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) other than any that are
described or incorporated therein by reference and (ii) there are no agreements,
contracts, indentures, leases or other instruments that are required to be
described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto) or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement
that are not described or filed as required by the Act.
13. The statements in the Registration Statement and
Prospectus Supplement set forth under the headings "Description of Shares of
Beneficial Interest", "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of our Declaration
of Trust and Bylaws" and "Federal Income Tax Considerations", and the statements
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002
and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement under the heading
"Risk Factors--Our status as a REIT is dependent on compliance with federal
income tax requirements", to the extent they constitute matters of law or
descriptions or summaries of contracts, agreements or other legal documents, or
refer to or constitute statements of matters of law, descriptions of statutes,
rules or regulations, or legal conclusions, each, respectively, are accurate and
fair summaries of the information disclosed therein.
14. The Registration Statement has become effective under the
Act and any required filing of the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) pursuant to Rule 424(b) has been made in the manner and within the time
period required by Rule 424(b). To our knowledge, no stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, no proceedings for
that purpose have been instituted or threatened. The Registration Statement and
the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) (other than the
financial statements and other financial and statistical information contained
therein, as to which we express no opinion) comply as to form in all material
respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and
the respective rules thereunder.
15. The Shares are duly listed, admitted and authorized for
trading on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance.
16. The Company was organized in conformity with the
requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and,
based on the facts and assumptions set forth in the Prospectus (and any
amendment or supplement thereto) and certain representations by the Company
regarding certain federal income tax matters, its method of operation has
enabled it, and its proposed method of operation will enable it, to meet the
requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for
qualification and taxation as a REIT.
In addition, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (other than
the financial statements and related schedules and other financial data therein,
as to which we express no view) comply as to form in all material respects with
the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder;
although we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or
fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus, except for those referred to in the opinion in paragraph 13 above,
no facts have come to our attention that have led us to believe that, as of its
effective date, the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements
and related schedules therein and other financial data, as to which we express
no view) 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 or that, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement
dated December 29, 2003, the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and
related schedules therein and other financial data, as to which we express no
view), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or that, as of the date
hereof, the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and related
schedules therein and other financial data, as to which we express no view)
contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; the documents incorporated by
reference in either the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (other than the
financial statements and related schedules therein and other financial data, as
to which we express no view), when they became effective or were filed with the
Commission, as the case may be, complied as to form in all material respects
with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable,
and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and no facts have
come to our attention that have led us to believe that any of such documents,
when they became effective or were so filed, as the case may be, contained, in
the case of a registration statement which became effective under the Securities
Act, 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, or, in the case of other documents which were filed under the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act with the Commission, an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made
when such documents were so filed, not misleading; and we 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
Prospectus or required to be described in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus which are not filed or incorporated by reference or described as
required.
With respect to the prior paragraph, our statements are based upon our
representation of the Company and our participation in the preparation of the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus and review and discussion thereof, and
we do not pass upon or assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness
or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus, subject to the opinion set forth above in paragraph 13.
