The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and covenants. 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. 333-270133), under the Securities Act.

The Indenture was previously 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 was previously 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 Third Supplemental Indenture was previously filed with the Commission on April 5, 2011, 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.

In connection with the foregoing, the Company and the Operating Partnership are filing as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K the opinion of their counsel with respect to the validity of the Notes and the Guarantee.

#### Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.

DEBT SECURITIES

GUARANTEED BY

BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST

<u>UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT</u> 

September 29, 2025

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" or the "Company"), 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 (formerly, The Bank of New York), as trustee (the "Trustee").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Introduction</u>. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor</u>. The Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to, and agree with, each of the Underwriters as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) A registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-270133) in respect of the Securities and the Guarantee has 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 became effective upon filing with the Commission; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of such 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. The various parts of the registration statement referred to above, each as amended at the time such part of such registration statement became or was declared effective, including the exhibits thereto, any prospectus supplement relating to the Designated Securities that is filed with the Commission and deemed by virtue of Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities Act to be a part of such registration statement at the relevant time of effectiveness and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 (the "Incorporated Documents"), but excluding the statement of eligibility and qualification on Form T-1, are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the "Registration Statement". The prospectus contained in the Registration Statement in the form in which it has most recently been filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement is hereinafter referred to as the "Base Prospectus". The Base Prospectus, as supplemented by the preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Designated Securities, in the form filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), is hereinafter referred to as the "Preliminary Prospectus"; and the Base Prospectus, as supplemented by the final prospectus supplement relating to the Designated Securities, in the form filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), is hereinafter referred to as the "Prospectus". 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" will be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement. Any reference herein to the Base Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus will 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 will 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 will 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the Commission or became effective, as the case may be, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; none of such documents 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; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, when such documents are filed with the Commission or become effective, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as applicable, and 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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; and 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 or the Parent Guarantor by an Underwriter of Designated Securities through the Representatives expressly for use in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus relating to such Designated Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Prior to or at the time when sales of the Designated Securities were first made in accordance with the applicable Pricing Agreement (the "Time of Sale"), the Operating Partnership prepared the Preliminary Prospectus, each "free writing prospectus" (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act), specified in Schedule III-A to such Pricing Agreement (collectively, the "Time of Sale Information") and each "free writing prospectus" (if any, and as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) specified in Schedule III-B to such Pricing Agreement; the Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale did not, and at the Time of Delivery (as defined in Section 4 hereof) 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(d) 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 or the Parent Guarantor by an Underwriter of Designated Securities through the Representatives expressly for use in such Time of Sale Information; and no statement of a material fact included in the Prospectus has been omitted from the Time of Sale Information, and no statement of material fact included in the Time of Sale Information that is required to be included in the Prospectus has been omitted therefrom.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Schedules III-A and III-B 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 or the Parent Guarantor in writing by an Underwriter of Designated Securities through the Representatives expressly for use in such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Except as noted therein, the consolidated financial statements (including the related notes thereto) incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries and the Parent Guarantor and its consolidated subsidiaries, as applicable, as of the dates indicated and the results of their operations and changes in their consolidated cash flows for the periods specified; such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applied on a consistent basis; any supporting schedules incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement present fairly in all material respects the information required to be stated therein; and any pro forma financial information (including the related notes thereto) contained or incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus presents fairly in all material respects the information contained therein and have been prepared on a reasonable basis using reasonable assumptions and in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and is prepared in accordance with the Commission's rules and guidelines applicable thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Sections 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Defaulting Underwriters</u>. (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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Survival</u>. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Termination</u>. If any Pricing Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof or if any condition in Section 8(h)(i), 8(h)(iii) or 8(h)(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 the purchase, sale and delivery of such Designated Securities, but the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor will then be under no further liability to any Underwriter with respect to such Designated Securities except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Authority of Representatives</u>. In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives of the Underwriters of Designated Securities will act on behalf of each of such Underwriters, and the parties hereto will be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by such Representatives jointly or by such of the Representatives, if any, as may be designated for such purpose in the Pricing Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>Notices</u>. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder will be in writing, and if to the Underwriters will be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Representatives as set forth in the Pricing Agreement; and if to the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor will be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: General Counsel; *provided, however*, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 9(c) hereof will be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its underwriters' questionnaire, or telex constituting such questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Operating Partnership by the Representatives upon request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements will take effect upon receipt thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. <u>Nature of Underwriters' Obligations</u>. Each of the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Designated Securities pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Pricing Agreement is an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction, each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor with respect to the offering of the Designated Securities or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor on other matters) or any other obligation to the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and the applicable Pricing Agreement and (iv) the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed it appropriate. Each of the Operating Partnership and the Parent Guarantor agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, owes an advisory, fiduciary or similar duty to the Operating Partnership or the Parent Guarantor in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. <u>Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement</u>. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. <u>Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

For purposes of this Section 17, a "BHC Act Affiliate" has the meaning assigned to the term "affiliate" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). "Covered Entity" means any of the following: (i) a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a "covered FSI" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). "Default Right" has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. "U.S. Special Resolution Regime" means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. <u>Time of Essence</u>. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. <u>Governing Law</u>. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH PRICING AGREEMENT, AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PRICING AGREEMENT, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.<u> </u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. <u>Counterparts and Electronic Signatures</u>. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto and thereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts will together constitute one and the same Agreement. Electronic signatures complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time, or other applicable law will be deemed original signatures for purposes of this Agreement. Transmission by telecopy, electronic mail or other transmission method of an executed counterpart of this Agreement will constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart.

Each of the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be a part of this Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein, and each of the representations and warranties set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Pricing Agreement, except that each representation and warranty which refers to the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus in Section 2 of the Underwriting Agreement shall be deemed to be a representation or warranty as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement in relation to the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, and also a representation and warranty as of the date of this Pricing Agreement in relation to the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus relating to the Designated Securities which are the subject of this Pricing Agreement.

**Forward-Looking Statements** 

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward- looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as "will," "strategy," "expects," "seeks," "believes," "potential," or other similar words. Because such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and contingencies, actual results may differ materially from the expectations, intentions, beliefs, plans or predictions of the future expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and not within our control. Such risks, uncertainties and contingencies include, among others: reduced demand for office space and pricing pressures, including from competitors, changes to tenant work patterns that could limit our ability to lease space or set rents at expected levels or that could lead to declines in rent; uncertainty and volatility in capital and credit markets, including changes that reduce availability, and increase costs, of capital or that delay receipt of future debt financings and refinancings; the effect of inflation and interest rate fluctuations, including on the costs of our planned debt financings and refinancings; the potential loss or bankruptcy of tenants or the inability of tenants to meet their rent and other lease obligations; risks of acquisitions and dispositions, including unexpected liabilities and integration costs; delays in completing, and cost overruns incurred in connection with, our developments and redevelopments; disagreements with joint venture partners; unanticipated operating and capital costs; uninsured casualty losses and our ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts; additional asset impairments; our dependence upon certain geographic markets; changes in governmental regulations, tax laws and rates and similar matters; unexpected costs of REIT qualification compliance; costs and disruptions as the result of a cybersecurity incident or other technology disruption; reliance on key personnel; and failure to maintain an effective system of internal control, including internal control over financial reporting. The declaration and payment of future dividends (both timing and amount) is subject to the determination of our Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, after considering various factors, including our financial condition, historical and forecast operating results, and available cash flow, as well as any applicable laws and contractual covenants and any other relevant factors. Our Board's practice regarding declaration of dividends may be modified at any time and from time to time. Additional information on factors which could impact us and the forward-looking statements contained herein are included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events except as required by law.
