estate investment trust (“BRT”), BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (“BOP” and collectively with BRT, the “Borrowers”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as
Administrative Agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”), and each of the Lenders party
hereto. Reference is made to that certain Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement,
dated as of June 29, 2007 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrowers, the Lenders
referenced therein and the Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used herein without definition
shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby.



RECITALS




WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that the Lenders amend the Credit Agreement to provide
that Letters of Credit may have an expiration date after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date; and



WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender are willing to so amend
the Credit Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment;



NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants
herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:



SECTION 1. AMENDMENTS TO CREDIT AGREEMENT. As of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined in
Section 4 hereof), the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:



1.1 Section 2.3(a). Section 2.3(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
adding the following to the end of said Section 2.3(a):



“Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Section 2.3(a), if
requested by the Borrowers, the Issuing Lender shall issue a Letter of Credit with an expiration
date that is up to one (1) year after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, provided that no later than
thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the Borrowers provide a cash deposit in
the full amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit with expiration dates after the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Any such additional cash collateral shall be held by the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as
defined in, and in accordance with the terms of, Section 2.3(l).”



1.2 Section 2.3. Section 2.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by
inserting the following at the end of said Section 2.3:


 


 









 





“(l) Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Borrowers hereby agree that they will,
from the time a deposit is required pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Section 9.2(c), or
Section 9.3 until the Obligations are satisfied and all Letters of Credit have expired or
been terminated or cancelled or as otherwise set forth below, maintain a special collateral account
(the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) at the Administrative Agent’s office at the address
specified pursuant to Section 11.1, in the name of the Borrowers but under the sole
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, of the Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of the Lenders, and in which the Borrowers shall have no interest other than as set
forth in this Section 2.3(l) or in Section 9.3. Such Letter of Credit Collateral
Account shall be funded to the extent required by Section 2.3(a), Section 9.2(c),
or Section 9.3. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrowers hereby grant to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, a properly
perfected security interest in and lien on the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, any cash or
other funds, notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments that may hereafter be on deposit
in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, any certificates or instruments from time to time
evidencing or representing the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, all interest, dividends and
other property distributed in respect of or in exchange for the foregoing, and the proceeds thereof
(the “Letter of Credit Collateral”), all to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations
as set forth below. The Borrowers agree that they will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any
interest in the Letter of Credit Collateral or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security
interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Letter of Credit
Collateral, except for the security interest created by this Section 2.3(l). Other than
any interest earned on the investment of the Letter of Credit Collateral, which investments shall
be made at the option and sole, but reasonable, discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the
Borrowers’ risk and expense, the Letter of Credit Collateral shall not bear interest. Interest or
profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.
Moneys in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to
reimburse the Issuing Lender for any drawing under such Letters of Credit for which it has not been
reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the
reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LOC Obligations at such time; provided that if
all Letters of Credit are expired or have been terminated or cancelled, no LOC Obligations are
outstanding and the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, moneys in the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account may be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this
Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a
result of the occurrence of an Event of Default in accordance with Section 9.2(c), such
amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three
Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. Subject to the provisions of
Section 9.3 and so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, if Letter of Credit
Collateral was provided in accordance with Section 2.3(a), such remaining Letter of Credit
Collateral, with any interest earned thereon, will be returned to the Borrowers (and may be
returned from time to time with respect to any applicable Letter of Credit) on the earlier of (a)
the date that the applicable Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit expire in accordance with their
terms; and (b) the date that the applicable Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit are terminated or
cancelled.”



1.3 Section 9.2(c). Section 9.2(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety and the following inserted in place thereof:


 


-2-









 





“(c) Cash Collateral. Direct the Borrowers to pay (and the Borrowers agree that upon
receipt of such notice, or automatically upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under
Section 9.1(e), without demand or notice of any kind, they will immediately pay) to the
Administrative Agent additional cash, to be held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Lenders, in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as defined in, and in accordance with the
terms of, Section 2.3(l) as additional security for the LOC Obligations in respect of
subsequent drawings under all then outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the maximum
aggregate amount which may be drawn under all Letters of Credits then outstanding.”



1.4 Section 9.3. Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting
the final paragraph and inserting the following in place thereof:



“In carrying out the foregoing, (a) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order
provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (b) each of the
Lenders shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then
outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations held by such Lender bear to the aggregate then outstanding
Loans and LOC Obligations) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “THIRD”,
“FOURTH,” “FIFTH,” and “SIXTH” above and (c) to the extent that any amounts available for
distribution pursuant to clause “FIFTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of
outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent in the Letter
of Credit Collateral Account as defined in, and in accordance with the terms of, Section
2.3(l) and applied (x) first, to reimburse the Issuing Lender from time to time for any
drawings under such Letters of Credit and (y) then, following the expiration of all Letters of
Credit, to all other Obligations of the types described in clauses “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above in the
manner provided in this Section 9.3.”



SECTION 2. LENDER CONSENT.



In accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(a) of the Credit Agreement, each Lender
hereby consents to the provisions of this Amendment permitting the expiration of any Letter of
Credit to be after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.



SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWERS




In order to induce the Lenders and Administrative Agent to enter into this Amendment, each
Borrower represents and warrants to each Lender and Administrative Agent that the following

party or by which the Borrowers or any of their Material Subsidiaries may be bound (a “Contractual
Obligation”), except for any such violation which could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien
on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such
Contractual Obligation;



(v) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers and is the legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers, enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance
with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings

the other Loan Documents are and will be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the

date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier
date; and



(vii) no event has occurred and is continuing or will result from the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Amendment that would constitute a Default or Event of Default.
