EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2011 of
Brandywine Realty Trust (the Parent Company) and Brandywine Operating Partnership (the Operating
Partnership). The Parent Company is a Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns
its assets and conducts its operations through the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited
partnership, and subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company, the Operating
Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this report as the
Company. In addition, terms such as we, us, or our used in this report may refer to the
Company, the Parent Company, or the Operating Partnership.
The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of March 31,
2011, owned a 93.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 6.9% interest consists of
common units of limited partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership to third parties
in exchange for contributions of properties to the Operating Partnership. As the sole general
partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full and complete authority over the
Operating Partnerships day-to-day operations and management.
The Company believes that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and
the Operating Partnership into a single report will result in the following benefits:
| facilitate a better understanding by the investors of the Parent Company and the
Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole in the same manner
as management views and operates the business; |
| remove duplicative disclosures and provide a more straightforward presentation in light
of the fact that a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Parent Company
and the Operating Partnership; and |
| create time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report
instead of two separate reports. |
Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The
management of the Parent Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating
Partnership. These members are officers of both the Parent Company and of the Operating
Partnership.
There are few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, which are
reflected in the footnote disclosures in this report. The Company believes it is important to
understand the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context
of how these entities operate as an interrelated consolidated company. The Parent Company is a
REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of the partnership interests of the Operating
Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting
as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time
and guaranteeing the debt obligations of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds
substantially all the assets of the Company and directly or indirectly holds the ownership
interests in the Companys real estate ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations
of the Companys business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except
for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the
Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the
capital required by the Companys business through the Operating Partnerships operations, by the
Operating Partnerships direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of
partnership units of the Operating Partnership or equity interests in subsidiaries of the
Operating Partnership.
The equity and non-controlling interests in the Parent Company and the Operating Partnerships
equity are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent
Company and the Operating Partnership. The common units of limited partnership interest in the
Operating Partnership are accounted for as partners equity in the Operating Partnerships
financial statements while the common units of limited partnership interests held by parties other
than the Parent Company are presented as non-controlling interests in the Parent Companys
financial statements. The differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnerships
equity relate to the differences in the equity issued at the Parent Company and Operating
Partnership levels.
To help investors understand the significant differences between the Parent Company and the
Operating Partnership, this report presents the following as separate notes or sections for each of
the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership:
| consolidated financial statements; |
| Parent Companys and Operating Partnerships Equity; and |
| Liquidity and Capital Resources in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
This report also includes separate Item 4. (Controls and Procedures) disclosures and separate
Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in
order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity
have made the requisite certifications and that the Parent Company and Operating Partnership are
compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
18 U.S.C. § 1350.

Table of Contents
In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, the
separate sections in this report for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership specifically
refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosures
of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to such disclosures as
those of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that directly or
indirectly enters into contracts and real estate ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to
the Company is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the Parent Company operates
the business through the Operating Partnership.
As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the
Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have
significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets
and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their
respective financial statements. The separate discussions of the Parent Company and the Operating
Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results
of the Companys operations on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST AND BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2011
March 31, 2011
1. ORGANIZATION OF THE PARENT COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
The Parent Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT)
that provides leasing, property management, development, redevelopment, acquisition and other
tenant-related services for a portfolio of office and industrial properties. The Parent Company
owns its assets and conducts its operations through the Operating Partnership and subsidiaries of
the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating
Partnership and, as of March 31, 2011, owned a 93.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. The
Parent Companys common shares of beneficial interest are publicly traded on the New York Stock
Exchange under the ticker symbol BDN.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company owned 210 office properties, 20 industrial facilities and four
mixed-use properties (collectively, the Properties) containing an aggregate of approximately 25.8
million net rentable square feet. The Company also has a garage property under redevelopment.
Therefore, as of March 31, 2011, the Company owned 235 properties containing an aggregate of 25.8
million net rentable square feet. In addition, as of March 31, 2011, the Company owned economic
interests in 17 unconsolidated real estate ventures that contain approximately 6.5 million net
rentable square feet (collectively, the Real Estate Ventures). The Properties and the properties
owned by the Real Estate Ventures are located in or near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Metropolitan
Washington, D.C., Southern and Central New Jersey, Richmond, Virginia, Wilmington, Delaware,
Austin, Texas and Oakland, Concord, Carlsbad and Rancho Bernardo, California.
The Company conducts its third-party real estate management services business primarily through
wholly-owned management company subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2011, the management company
subsidiaries were managing properties containing an aggregate of approximately 33.6 million net
rentable square feet, of which approximately 25.8 million net rentable square feet related to
Properties owned by the Company and approximately 7.8 million net rentable square feet related to
properties owned by third parties and Real Estate Ventures.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial statements
information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) for a fair
statement of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2011, the results of its
operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and its cash flows for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 have been included. The results of operations for
such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Parent Companys and the
Operating Partnerships consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in their
respective 2010 Annual Reports on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2011.
Reclassifications and Out of Period Adjustment
Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior years to conform to the current year presentation.
The reclassifications are primarily due to the treatment of sold properties as discontinued
operations on the statement of operations for all periods presented. In addition, the Company
changed $6.3 million from leasing costs to capital expenditures in the investing section of the
statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This change had no effect on
the subtotals within the consolidated statement of cash flows.
During the three-months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded additional income of $0.5
million related to electricity charges in prior years that were under-billed to a certain tenant.
This resulted in the overstatement of total revenue of $0.5 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2011 and in the understatement of total revenue of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the
years ended December 31, 2009, and 2008, respectively. As this error was not material to prior
years consolidated financial statements and the impact of recording the error in the current
period is not material to the Companys consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded the
related adjustment in the current period.

Table of Contents
Principles of Consolidation
When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, the Company evaluates the entity to
determine if the entity is deemed a variable interest entity (VIE), and if the Company is deemed
to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of
variable interest entities. The accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs requires the
Company to qualitatively assess if the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIEs based on
whether the Company had (i) the power to direct those matters that most significantly impacted the
activities of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of
the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. For entities that the Company has
determined to be VIEs but for which it is not the primary beneficiary, its maximum exposure to loss
is the carrying amount of its investments, as the Company has not provided any guarantees other
than the guarantee described for PJP VII which was approximately $0.7 million at March 31, 2011
(see Note 4). Also, for all entities determined to be VIEs, the Company does not provide
financial support to the real estate ventures through liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other
similar commitments. When an entity is not deemed to be a VIE, the Company considers the provisions
of the same accounting standard to determine whether a general partner, or the general partners as
a group, controls a limited partnership or similar entity when the limited partners have certain
rights. The Company consolidates (i) entities that are VIEs and of which the Company is deemed to
be the primary beneficiary and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs and controlled by the Company and in
which the limited partners neither have the ability to dissolve the entity or remove the Company
without cause nor any substantive participating rights. Entities that the Company accounts for
under the equity method (i.e., at cost, increased or decreased by the Companys share of earnings
or losses, plus contributions, less distributions) include (i) entities that are VIEs and of which
the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which the
Company does not control, but over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant
influence and (iii) entities that are non-VIEs that the Company controls through its general
partner status, but the limited partners in the entity have the substantive ability to dissolve the
entity or remove the Company without cause or have substantive participating rights. The Company
continuously assesses its determination of whether an entity is a VIE and who the primary
beneficiary is, and whether or not the limited partners in an entity have substantive rights, more
particularly if certain events occur that are likely to cause a change in the original
determinations. The Companys assessment includes a review of applicable documents such as, but not
limited to applicable partnership agreements, real estate venture agreements, LLC agreements,
management and leasing agreements to determine whether the Company has control to direct the
business activities of the entities. The portion of the entities that are consolidated but not
owned by the Company is presented as non-controlling interest as of and during the periods
consolidated. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant
estimates regarding revenue, valuation of real estate and related intangible assets and
liabilities, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts and deferred costs.
Operating Properties
Operating properties are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses. The cost of operating properties reflects their purchase price or development cost.
Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred for the renovation and
betterment of an operating property are capitalized to the Companys investment in that property.
Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments,
which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated
useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.
Purchase Price Allocation
The Company allocates the purchase price of properties to net tangible and identified intangible
assets acquired based on fair values. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for
acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects
the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual
amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) the Companys estimate of the fair
market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the
remaining non-cancelable term of the lease (includes the below market fixed renewal period, if
applicable). Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income
over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease
values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the
respective leases, including any below market fixed-rate renewal periods.

Table of Contents
Other intangible assets also include amounts representing the value of tenant relationships
and in-place leases based on the Companys evaluation of the specific characteristics of each
tenants lease and the Companys overall relationship with the respective tenant. The Company
estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the
in-place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. This intangible
asset is amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases and any fixed-rate
bargain renewal periods. Company estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by
independent appraisers or by using independent appraisals. Factors considered by the Company in
this analysis include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods
considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying
costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates
of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which primarily range from
three to twelve months. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a
result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the
fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company also uses the information
obtained as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence as part of its consideration of the
accounting standard governing asset retirement obligations and when necessary, will record a
conditional asset retirement obligation as part of its purchase price.
Characteristics considered by the Company in allocating value to its tenant relationships include
the nature and extent of the Companys business relationship with the tenant, growth prospects for
developing new business with the tenant, the tenants credit quality and expectations of lease
renewals, among other factors. The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized over the
remaining initial lease term and expected renewals, but in no event longer than the remaining
depreciable life of the building. The value of in-place leases is amortized over the remaining
non-cancelable term of the respective leases and any fixed-rate renewal periods.
In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of each intangible,
including in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, would be charged to expense and
market rate adjustments (above or below) would be recorded to revenue.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
The accounting standard for property, plant and equipment provides a single accounting model for
long-lived assets classified as held-for-sale; broadens the scope of businesses to be disposed of
that qualify for reporting as discontinued operations; and changes the timing of recognizing losses
on such operations.
The Company reviews long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an
estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from
the long-lived assets use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as
expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand,
competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying
value of a long-lived asset, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value
exceeds the estimated fair-value of the property. The Company is required to make subjective
assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of the investments in long-lived assets. These assessments have a direct impact on its net income
because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. The
evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions
regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from
actual results in future periods. Although the Companys strategy is generally to hold its
properties over the long-term, the Company will dispose of properties to meet its liquidity needs
or for other strategic needs. If the Companys strategy changes or market conditions otherwise
dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and such loss could be material. If
the Company determines that impairment has occurred and the assets are classified as held and used,
the affected assets must be reduced to their fair-value.
Where properties have been identified as having a potential for sale, additional judgments are
required related to the determination as to the appropriate period over which the undiscounted cash
flows should include the operating cash flows and the amount included as the estimated residual
value. Management determines the amounts to be included based on a probability weighted cash flow.
This requires significant judgment. In some cases, the results of whether an impairment is
indicated are sensitive to changes in assumptions input into the estimates, including the hold
period until expected sale.
During the Companys impairment review for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and
2010, the Company determined that no impairment charges were necessary.
The Company entered into development agreements related to two parcels of land under option for
ground lease that require the Company to commence development by December 31, 2012. If the Company
determines that it will not be able to start the construction by the date specified, or if the
Company determines development is not in its best economic interest and an extension of the
development period cannot be negotiated, the Company will have to write off all costs that it has
incurred in preparing these parcels of land for development amounting to $7.7 million as of March
31, 2011.

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures under the equity
method of accounting as it is not the primary beneficiary (for VIEs) and the Company exercises
significant influence, but does not control these entities under the provisions of the entities
governing agreements pursuant to the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs.
Under the equity method, investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are recorded initially at
cost, as Investments in Real Estate Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings,
cash contributions, less distributions and impairments. On a periodic basis, management also
assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Companys investments in
unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures may be other than temporarily impaired. An investment is
impaired only if the value of the investment, as estimated by management, is less than the carrying
value of the investment and the decline is other than temporary. To the extent impairment has
occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over
the value of the investment, as estimated by management. The determination as to whether an
impairment exists requires significant management judgment about the fair value of its ownership
interest. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including but not limited
to, discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party appraisals.
The Companys Broadmoor Real Estate Venture owns an office park in Austin, Texas which is currently
leased to a single tenant who is also the Companys partner in the Real Estate Venture. The tenant
is also the owner of the land which the Real Estate Venture currently leases under a ground lease
agreement. A lease amendment pertaining to renewals on certain of the buildings within the office park is currently under
negotiation. Given the current circumstances, the Company performed an impairment assessment of its
investment in the venture using probability weighted scenarios that include varying outcomes. The
Company believes that a market participant would assess the probabilities of these outcomes in the
same fashion. In evaluating the scenarios, the Company has determined that the fair value of its
investment marginally exceeded its carrying value and the investment is not impaired at March 31,
2011. However, given the lease amendment has not yet been executed and the negotiations of specific terms of the lease renewal are ongoing, the
ultimate outcome is uncertain and could cause an impairment of the Companys investment that could
be material.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized on the straight-line basis from the later of the date of the
commencement of the lease or the date of acquisition of the property subject to existing leases,
which averages minimum rents over the terms of the leases. The straight-line rent adjustment
increased revenue by approximately $4.2 million and $2.0 million for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Deferred rents on the balance sheet represent rental
revenue received prior to their due dates and amounts paid by the tenant for certain improvements
considered to be landlord assets that will remain as the Companys property at the end of the
tenants lease term. The amortization of the amounts paid by the tenant for such improvements is
calculated on a straight-line basis over the term of the tenants lease and is a component of
straight-line rental income and increased revenue by $0.6 million and $0.9 million for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Lease incentives, which are
included as reductions of rental revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations,
are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives decreased
revenue by $0.2 million and $0.8 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively.
Leases also typically provide for tenant reimbursement of a portion of common area maintenance and
other operating expenses to the extent that a tenants pro rata share of expenses exceeds a base
year level set in the lease or to the extent that the tenant has a lease on a triple net basis. For
certain leases, significant assumptions and judgments are made by the Company in determining the
lease term such as when termination options are provided to the tenant. The lease term impacts the
period over which minimum rents are determined and recorded and also considers the period over
which lease related costs are amortized. Termination fees received from tenants, bankruptcy
settlement fees, third party management fees, labor reimbursement and leasing income are recorded
when earned.
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Parent Company maintains a shareholder-approved equity-incentive plan known as the Amended and
Restated 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 1997 Plan). The 1997 Plan is administered by the
Compensation Committee of the Parent Companys Board of Trustees. Under the 1997 Plan, the
Compensation Committee is authorized to award equity and equity-based awards, including incentive
stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted shares and performance-based shares. On
June 2, 2010, the Parent Companys shareholders approved amendments to the 1997 Plan that, among
other things, increased the number of common shares available for future awards under the 1997 Plan
by 6,000,000 (of which 3,600,000 shares are available solely for options and share appreciation
rights). As of March 31, 2011, 5,809,631 common shares remained available for future awards under
the 1997 Plan (including 4,671,392 shares available solely for options and share appreciation
rights). Through March 31, 2011, all options awarded under the 1997 Plan had a one to ten-year
term.
The Company incurred stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million and $1.1 million during the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, of which, $0.3 million and $0.2 million,
respectively, were capitalized as part of the Companys review of employee salaries eligible for
capitalization. The expensed amounts are included in general and administrative expense on the
Companys consolidated income statement in the respective periods.

Table of Contents
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company accounts for its derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with the
accounting standard for derivative and hedging activities. The accounting standard requires the
Company to measure every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded
in other contracts) at fair value and record them in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability. See disclosures below related to the Companys adoption of the accounting standard for
fair value measurements and disclosures.
For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in fair value of both the
derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as
cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are
reported in other comprehensive income while the ineffective portions are recognized in earnings.
The Company actively manages its ratio of fixed-to-floating rate debt. To manage its fixed and
floating rate debt in a cost-effective manner, the Company, from time to time, enters into interest
rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges, under which it agrees to exchange various combinations of
fixed and/or variable interest rates based on agreed upon notional amounts.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company estimates the fair value of its outstanding derivatives and
available-for-sale-securities in accordance with the accounting standard for fair value
measurements and disclosures. The accounting standard defines fair value as the exchange price that
would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or
most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an
entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when
measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure
fair value. Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are
categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
| Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the Company has the ability to access; |
| Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may
include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as
inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly
quoted intervals; and |
| Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically
based on an entitys own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity
or information. |
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from
different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which
the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Companys assessment of the significance of a
particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers
factors specific to the asset or liability.

Non-financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis to which the
Company would apply the accounting standard where a measurement was required under fair value would
include:
| Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in an acquisition
or business combination that are not remeasured at least quarterly at fair value, |
| Long-lived assets measured at fair value due to an impairment in accordance with the
accounting standard for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, |
| Equity and cost method investments measured at fair value due to an impairment in
accordance with the accounting standard for investments, |
| Notes receivable adjusted for any impairment in its value in accordance with the
accounting standard for loan receivables, and |
| Asset retirement obligations initially measured at fair value under the accounting
standard for asset retirement obligations. |
There were no items that were accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31,
2011.
Income Taxes
Parent Company
The Parent Company has elected to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). In order to continue to qualify as a REIT,
the Parent Company is required to, among other things, distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT
taxable income to its shareholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its income and
assets. As a REIT, the Parent Company is not subject to federal and state income taxes with respect
to the portion of its income that meets certain criteria and is distributed annually to its
shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes is included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to the operations of the Parent
Company. The Parent Company intends to continue to operate in a manner that allows it to meet the
requirements for taxation as a REIT. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any
taxable year, it will be subject to federal and state income taxes and may not be able to qualify
as a REIT for the four subsequent tax years. The Parent Company is subject to certain local income
taxes. Provision for such taxes has been included in general and administrative expenses in the
Parent Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
The Parent Company has elected to treat several of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries
(each a TRS). A TRS is subject to federal, state and local income tax. In general, a TRS may
perform non-customary services for tenants, hold assets that the Parent Company, as a REIT, cannot
hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business.
Operating Partnership
In general, the Operating Partnership is not subject to federal and state income taxes, and
accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. The partners of the Operating Partnership are required to include their respective
share of the Operating Partnerships profits or losses in their respective tax returns. The
Operating Partnerships tax returns and the amount of allocable Partnership profits and losses are subject to examination by federal and
state taxing authorities. If such examination results in changes to the Operating Partnership
profits or losses, then the tax liability of the partners would be changed accordingly.
The Operating Partnership has elected to treat several of its subsidiaries as REITs under
Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. Each subsidiary REIT has met the requirements for treatment
as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, and, accordingly, no provision has been made
for federal and state income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If any
subsidiary REIT fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, that subsidiary REIT will be
subject to federal and state income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four
subsequent taxable years. Also, each subsidiary REIT may be subject to certain local income taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2010, the FASB issued a new accounting standard for the disclosure of supplementary
pro-forma information for business combinations. This guidance clarifies that the disclosure of
supplementary pro-forma information for business combinations should be presented such that
revenues and earnings of the combined entity are calculated as though the relevant business
combinations that occurred during the current reporting period had occurred as of the beginning of
the comparable prior annual reporting period. The guidance also seeks to improve the usefulness of
the supplementary pro-forma information by requiring a description of the nature and amount of
material, non-recurring pro-forma adjustments that are directly attributable to the business
combinations. This new standard is effective for business combinations with an acquisition date on
or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15,
2010. The Companys adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on its
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
3. REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the gross carrying value of the Companys rental

Acquisitions and Dispositions
On March 28, 2011, the Company acquired two office properties totaling 126,496 of net rentable
square feet in Glen Allen, Virginia known as Overlook I and II for $12.6 million. The acquired
properties are currently 100% leased. The Company funded the acquisition price through an advance
under its $600.0 million Credit Facility (the Credit Facility) and with available corporate
funds. The Company recognized a nominal amount of acquisition related costs which are included as
part of general and administrative expenses in the Companys consolidated statements of operations.
On January 20, 2011, the Company acquired a one acre parcel of land in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
for $9.3 million. The Company funded the cost of this acquisition with available corporate cash
and a draw on its Credit Facility. The Company capitalized $0.5 million of acquisition related
costs as part of land inventory in its consolidated balance sheet. The Company will contribute the
acquired property into a real estate venture in return for a 50% limited interest in the
partnership. The real estate venture will be formed to construct a mixed-use development property
in the city of Philadelphia. The Company received $4.9 million from the prospective partner in
anticipation of the real estate venture formation. The amount received is included as part of other
liabilities in the Companys consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011.
On August 5, 2010, the Company acquired a 53 story Class A office tower at 1717 Arch Street (Three
Logan Square) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, together with related ground tenancy rights under a
long-term ground lease, from BAT Partners, L.P. Three Logan Square contains approximately 1.0
million of net rentable square feet and is currently 67.2% leased. The Company acquired Three
Logan Square for approximately $129.0 million funded through a combination of $51.2 million in cash
and the issuance of 7,111,112 units of a newly-established class of its limited partnership
interest in the Operating Partnership designated as Class F (2010) Units. The Class F (2010)
Units do not accrue a dividend and are not entitled to income or loss allocations prior to the
first anniversary of the closing. Total cash paid after the assumption of security deposit
obligations of existing tenants in the property of $0.9 million amounted to $50.3 million. The
assumed security deposit obligation is included in the tenant security deposits and deferred rents
in the Companys consolidated balance sheets. The Company funded the cash portion of the
acquisition price through an advance under its Credit Facility and with available corporate funds.
For purposes of computing the total purchase price, the Class F (2010) Units were valued based on
the closing market price of the Parent Companys common shares on the acquisition date of $11.54
less the annual dividend rate per share of $0.60 since these units do not accrue a dividend prior
to the first anniversary. The Class F (2010) Units are subject to redemption at the option of the
holder after the first anniversary of the acquisition. The Operating Partnership may, at its
option, satisfy the redemption either for an amount, per unit, of cash equal to the market price of
one of the Parent Companys common shares (based on the five-day trading average ending on the date
of the exchange) or for one of the Parent Companys common shares.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recognized a $2.8 million net gain
upon the sale of its remaining 11% ownership interest in three properties which it partially sold
to one of its unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures in December 2007. The Company had retained an 11%
equity interest in these properties subject to a put/call at fixed prices for a period of three
years from the time of the sale. In January 2011, the Company exercised the put/call and
transferred full ownership in the three properties to the Real Estate Venture. Accordingly, the
Companys direct continuing involvement through its 11% interest in the properties ceased as a
result of the transfer of the ownership interest. The Company has also presented the gain as part
of its continuing operations in its consolidated statements of operations because of its prior
significant continuing involvement with the properties through its interest in the unconsolidated
Real Estate Venture and its management and leasing activities at the properties.
The Company had no property dispositions during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
4. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED VENTURES
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had an aggregate investment of approximately $83.7 million in 17
unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures. The Company formed these ventures with unaffiliated third
parties, or acquired interests in them, to develop or manage office properties or to acquire land
in anticipation of possible development of office properties. As of March 31, 2011, 15 of the Real
Estate Ventures owned 50 office buildings that contain an aggregate of approximately 6.5 million
net rentable square feet; one Real Estate Venture owned three acres of undeveloped parcel of land;
and one Real Estate Venture developed a hotel property that contains 137 rooms in Conshohocken, PA.
The Company accounts for its unconsolidated interests in its Real Estate Ventures using the
equity method. The Companys unconsolidated interests range from 3% to 65%, subject to specified
priority allocations of distributable cash in certain of the Real Estate Ventures.
The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Companys share of equity and income)
are based on the historical financial information of the individual Real Estate Ventures. One of
the Real Estate Ventures, acquired in connection with the Prentiss Properties Trust merger in 2006,
had a negative equity balance on a historical cost basis as a result of historical depreciation and
distributions of excess financing proceeds. The Company reflected its acquisition of this Real
Estate Venture interest at its relative fair value as of the date of the merger. The difference
between allocated cost and the underlying equity in the net assets of the investee is accounted for
as if the entity were consolidated (i.e., allocated to the Companys relative share of assets and

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had guaranteed repayment of approximately $0.7 million of
loans on behalf of a Real Estate Venture. The Company also provides customary environmental
indemnities in connection with construction and permanent financing both for its own account and on
behalf of its Real Estate Ventures.
In November 2010, the Company acquired a 25% interest in two partnerships which own two office
buildings in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The other partner holds the remaining 75% interest in each
of the two partnerships. In connection with the closing, the Company contributed an initial $5.0 million, out of a total of $25.0 million of
committed preferred equity. The Company expects to contribute the remaining $20.0 million by December 31, 2012. Failure
to fund the remaining commitment will result in an adjustment to the Companys 25% limited partnership ownership percentage.

The Parent Company unconditionally guarantees the unsecured debt obligations of the Operating
Partnership (or is a co-borrower with the Operating Partnership) but does not, by itself incur
indebtedness.
The Company utilizes credit facility borrowings for general business purposes, including the
acquisition, development and redevelopment of properties and the repayment of other debt. The per
annum variable interest rate on the outstanding balances is LIBOR plus 0.725%. The interest rate
and facility fee are subject to adjustment upon a change in the Companys unsecured debt ratings.
The Company has the option to increase the Credit Facility to $800.0 million provided that the
Company has not committed any defaults under the Credit Facility and is able to acquire additional
commitments from its existing lenders or new lenders. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had $197.0
million of borrowings and $10.3 million in letters of credit outstanding, leaving $392.7 million of
unused availability under the Credit Facility. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011
and 2010, the weighted-average interest rate on Credit Facility borrowings was 0.99% and 0.96%,
respectively. As of March 31, 2011, the weighted average interest rate on the Credit Facility was
1.015%.
The Credit Facility requires the maintenance of ratios related to minimum net worth, debt-to-total
capitalization and fixed charge coverage and includes non-financial covenants. The Company was in
compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2011.
The Company accounts for its outstanding 3.875% Guaranteed Exchangeable Notes in accordance with
the accounting standard for convertible debt instruments. The accounting standard requires the
initial proceeds from the Companys issuance of the 3.875% Guaranteed Exchangeable Notes to be
allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that reflects interest
expense at the interest rate of a similar nonconvertible debt that could have been issued by the
Company at such time. This is accomplished through the creation of a discount on the debt that
would be accreted using the effective interest method as additional non-cash interest expense over
the period the debt is expected to remain outstanding (i.e. through the first optional redemption
date).
The principal amount outstanding of the 3.875% Guaranteed Exchangeable Notes was $59.8 million both
at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At certain times and upon certain events,
the notes are exchangeable for cash up to their principal amount and, with respect to the
remainder, if any, of the exchange value in excess of such principal amount, cash or common shares.
The initial exchange rate is 25.4065 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which is
equivalent to an initial exchange price of $39.36 per share). The carrying amount of the equity
component is $24.4 million and is reflected within additional paid-in capital in the Companys
consolidated balance sheets. The unamortized debt discount is $0.6 million at March 31, 2011 and
$0.9 million at December 31, 2010, respectively, and will be amortized through October 15, 2011.
The effective interest rate at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was 5.5%. The Company
recognized contractual coupon interest of $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized interest expense
on amortization of debt discount of $0.3 million and $0.5 million during the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Debt discount write-offs resulting from debt
repurchases amounted to $1.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010. There were no
repurchases of the notes during the three-month ended March 31, 2011.
As of March 31, 2011, the Companys aggregate scheduled principal payments of debt obligations,

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following fair value disclosure was determined by the Company using available market
information and discounted cash flow analyses as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively. The discount rate used in calculating fair value is the sum of the current risk free
rate and the risk premium on the date of measurement of the instruments or obligations.
Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and to develop the related estimates of
fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that
the Company could realize upon disposition. The use of different estimation methodologies may have
a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The Company believes that the carrying
amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010
approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets,
accounts payable and accrued expenses.
The following are financial instruments for which the Companys estimates of fair value differ from

9. RISK MANAGEMENT AND USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Risk Management
In the course of its on-going business operations, the Company encounters economic risk. There are
three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The
Company is subject to interest rate risk on its interest-bearing liabilities. Credit risk is
primarily the risk of inability or unwillingness of tenants to make contractually required payments
and counterparties on derivatives not fulfilling their obligations. Market risk is the risk of
declines in the value of properties due to changes in rental rates, interest rates or other market
factors affecting the valuation of properties held by the Company.
Risks and Uncertainties
Significantly challenging current economic conditions have generally resulted in a reduction of the
availability of financing and higher borrowing costs. These factors, coupled with a sluggish
economy, have reduced the volume of real estate transactions and created credit stresses on most
businesses. The Company believes that vacancy rates may increase through 2011 and possibly beyond
as the current economic climate negatively impacts tenants in the Properties. The current
financial markets also have an adverse effect on the Companys other counter parties such as the
counter parties in its derivative contracts.
The Company expects that the impact of the current state of the economy, including high
unemployment and the unprecedented volatility and illiquidity in the financial and credit markets,
will continue to have a dampening effect on the fundamentals of its business, including increases
in past due accounts, tenant defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. These
conditions would negatively affect the Companys future net income and cash flows and could have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition.
The Companys Credit Facility, Bank Term Loan and the indenture governing the unsecured public debt
securities (Note 7) contain restrictions, requirements and other limitations on the ability to
incur indebtedness, including total debt to asset ratios, secured debt to total asset ratios, debt
service coverage ratios and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt which it
must maintain. The ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is subject to compliance with such
financial and other covenants. In the event that the Company fails to satisfy these covenants, it
would be in default under the Credit Facility, the Bank Term Loan and the indenture and may be
required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under such circumstances, other
sources of capital may not be available, or may be available only on unattractive terms.
Availability of borrowings under the Credit Facility is subject to a traditional material adverse
effect clause. Each time the Company borrows it must represent to the lenders that there have been
no events of a nature which would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets,
operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company taken as a whole or
which could negatively affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the
Credit Facility. While the Company believes that there are currently no material adverse effect
events, the Company is operating in unprecedented economic times and it is possible that such event
could arise which would limit the Companys borrowings under the Credit Facility. If an event
occurs which is considered to have a material adverse effect, the lenders could consider the
Company in default under the terms of the Credit Facility and the borrowings under the Credit
Facility would become due and payable. If the Company is unable to obtain a waiver, this would
have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position and results of operations.
The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2011. Management
continuously monitors the Companys compliance with and anticipated compliance with the covenants.
Certain of the covenants restrict managements ability to obtain alternative sources of capital.
While the Company currently believes it will remain in compliance with its covenants, in the event
of a continued slow-down and continued crisis in the credit markets, the Company may not be
able to remain in compliance with such covenants and if the lender would not provide a waiver, it
could result in an event of default.

Table of Contents
Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Companys use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate
agreements or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative
purposes. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs
associated with the Companys operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific
transactions. The counterparties to these arrangements are major financial institutions with which
the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company is
potentially exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by these counterparties.
However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, the Company does not anticipate
that any of the counterparties will fail to meet these obligations as they come due. The Company
does not hedge credit or property value market risks through derivative financial instruments.
The Company formally assesses, both at inception of the hedge and on an on-going basis, whether
each derivative is highly-effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. If
management determines that a derivative is not highly-effective as a hedge or if a derivative
ceases to be a highly-effective hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.
The related ineffectiveness would be charged to the consolidated statement of operations.
The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques
including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This
analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and
uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The
fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting
the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash
payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of
future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
To comply with the provisions of the accounting standard for fair value measurements and
disclosures, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both
its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterpartys nonperformance risk in the fair value
measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of
nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit
enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
On March 31, 2011, in anticipation of the offering of $325.0 million of 4.95% unsecured guaranteed
notes due April 15, 2018 (See Note 18), the Company entered into seven intra-day treasury lock
agreements. The treasury lock agreements were designated as cash flow hedges on interest rate risk
and qualified for hedge accounting. The total notional amount of the treasury lock agreements were
$230.0 million for an expiration of 7 years at treasury rates of 2.891%, 2.873%, and 2.858% and had
a fair value of $0.6 million at March 31, 2011. The agreements were also settled in the same day
upon completion of the debt offering at a total expense of $0.6 million. This expense was recorded
as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet and will be amortized over the term of the note.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives
fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with
its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the
likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, in connection with the intra-day
treasury lock agreement that the Company entered into and the remaining interest swaps which
matured in October 18, 2010, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit
valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that
the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives.
As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are
classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The changes in fair values of the hedges during
the three months ended March 31, 2010 were included in other liabilities and accumulated other
comprehensive income in the accompanying balance sheet.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants related to the Companys investments
or rental operations are engaged in similar business activities, or are located in the same
geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their inability to meet
contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected. The Company
regularly monitors its tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. Management
believes the current credit risk portfolio is reasonably well diversified and does not contain any
unusual concentration of credit risk. No tenant accounted for 10% or more of the Companys rents
during the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Conditions in the general economy and
the global credit markets have had a significant adverse effect on companies in numerous
industries. The Company has tenants concentrated in various industries that may be experiencing
adverse effects from the current economic conditions and the Company could be adversely affected if
such tenants go into default under their leases.

11. NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS IN THE PARENT COMPANY
Non-controlling interests in the Parent Companys financial statements relate to redeemable common
limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership held by parties other than the Parent
Company.
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate book value of the non-controlling
interests associated with the redeemable common limited partnership interests in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet of the Parent Company was $128.0 million and $128.3 million,
respectively. The Parent Company believes that the aggregate settlement value of these interests
(based on the number of units outstanding and the closing price of the common shares on the balance
sheet date) was approximately $120.2 million and $115.4 million, respectively.

Redeemable limited partnership units totaling 9,902,752 as of March 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computations because their effect
would have been anti-dilutive.
The contingent securities/share based compensation impact is calculated using the treasury stock
method and relates to employee awards settled in shares of the Parent Company. The effect of these
securities is anti-dilutive for periods that the Parent Company incurs a net loss available to
common shareholders and therefore is excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation in
such periods.
Unvested restricted shares are considered participating securities which require the use of the
two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. For the three months
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, earnings representing nonforfeitable dividends as noted in the table
above were allocated to the unvested restricted shares issued to the Companys executives and other
employees under the 1997 Plan.
Common and Preferred Shares
On March 11, 2011, the Parent Company declared a distribution of $0.15 per common share, totaling
$20.4 million, which was paid on April 19, 2011 to shareholders of record as of April 5, 2011. On
March 11, 2011, the Parent Company declared distributions on its Series C Preferred Shares and
Series D Preferred Shares to holders of record as of March 30, 2011. These shares are entitled to a
preferential return of 7.50% and 7.375%, respectively. Distributions paid on April 15, 2011 to
holders of Series C Preferred Shares and Series D Preferred Shares totaled $0.9 million and $1.1
million, respectively.
In March 2010, the Parent Company commenced a continuous equity offering program (the Offering
Program), under which the Parent Company may sell up to an aggregate amount of 15,000,000 common
shares until March 10, 2013. The Company may sell common shares in amounts and at times to be
determined by the Parent Company. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors as determined
by the Company, including market conditions, the trading price of its common shares and
determinations by the Parent Company of the appropriate sources of funding. In conjunction with
the Offering Program, the Parent Company engages sales agents who receive compensation, in
aggregate, of up to 2% of the gross sales price per share sold. During the three months ended
March 31, 2011, the Parent Company sold 188,400 shares under this program at an average sales price
of $12.23 per share resulting in net proceeds of $2.2 million. The Parent Company contributed the
net proceeds from the sale of its shares to the Operating Partnership in exchange for the issuance
of 188,400 common partnership units to the Parent Company. The Operating Partnership used the net
proceeds from the sales contributed by the Parent Company to repay balances on its Credit Facility
and for general corporate purposes. From the inception of the Offering Program in March 2010
through March 31, 2011, the Parent Company had sold 5,930,668 shares under this program.

Common Share Repurchases
The Parent Company maintains a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Parent Company is
authorized to repurchase its common shares from time to time. The Parent Companys Board of
Trustees initially authorized this program in 1998 and has periodically replenished capacity under
the program. On May 2, 2006 the Board of Trustees restored capacity to 3.5 million common shares.
The Parent Company did not repurchase any shares during the three-month period ended March 31,
2011. As of March 31, 2011, the Parent Company may purchase an additional 0.5 million shares under
the program.
Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions, subject to market conditions and compliance with legal requirements. The share
repurchase program does not contain any time limitation and does not obligate the Parent Company to
repurchase any shares. The Parent Company may discontinue the program at any time.

Common Partnership Unit and Preferred Mirror Units
On March 11, 2011, the Operating Partnership declared a distribution of $0.15 per common
partnership unit, totaling $20.4 million, which was paid on April 19, 2011 to unitholders of record
as of April 5, 2011.
On March 15, 2011, the Operating Partnership declared distributions on its Series D Preferred
Mirror Units and Series E Preferred Mirror Units to holders of record as of March 30, 2011. These
units are entitled to a preferential return of 7.50% and 7.375%, respectively. Distributions paid
on April 15, 2011 to holders of Series D Preferred Mirror Units and Series E Preferred Mirror Units
totaled $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, the Parent Company contributed net proceeds
amounting to $2.2 million from the sale of 188,400 common shares under its Offering Program to the
Operating Partnership in exchange for the issuance of 188,400 common partnership units to the
Parent Company. The Operating Partnership used the net proceeds from the sales to repay balances
on its unsecured revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.
The Operating Partnership issued 7,111,112 Class F (2010) Units on August 5, 2010 in connection
with its acquisition of Three Logan Square. The Class F (2010) Units were valued based on the
closing market price of the Parent Companys common shares on the acquisition date ($11.54) less
$0.60 to reflect that these units do not begin to accrue a dividend prior to the first anniversary
of their issuance. The Class F (2010) Units are subject to redemption at the option of the holders
after the first anniversary of the acquisition. The Operating Partnership may, at its option,
satisfy the redemption either for an amount, per unit, of cash equal to the market price of one of
the Parent Companys common share (based on the five-day trading average ending on the date of the
exchange) or for one of the Parent Companys common shares. The redemption value of these
Class F (2010) Units and the other redeemable limited partnership units are presented in the
mezzanine section of the Operating Partnerships balance sheet because they can be redeemed in cash
or with Parent Company common shares.

14. SHARE BASED AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION
Stock Options
At March 31, 2011, the Parent Company had 3,719,852 options outstanding under its shareholder
approved equity incentive plan. There were 2,044,482 options unvested as of March 31, 2011 and $3.5
million of unrecognized compensation expense associated with these options to be recognized over a
weighted average of 2.2 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company
recognized $0.3 million and $0.2 million of compensation expense, respectively, related to unvested
options. The recognized compensation expenses are included as part of general and administrative
expense in the Companys consolidated statements of operations. The Company has also capitalized
nominal amounts of compensation expense for the said periods as part of the Companys review of
employee salaries eligible for capitalization.
Option activity as of March 31, 2011 and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2011 were

On March 2, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Trustees awarded
603,241 options to the Companys executives. The options vest ratably over three years and have a
ten year term. The vesting of the options is also subject to acceleration upon a change in control
or if the recipient of the award were to die, become disabled, be terminated without cause or
retire in a qualifying retirement prior to the vesting date. Qualifying retirement for options
granted on March 2, 2011 as provided under the 1997 Plan means the recipients voluntary
termination of employment after reaching age 57 and accumulating at least 15 years of service with
the Company. As of March 31, 2011, none of the Companys executives had met conditions to elect a
qualifying retirement.
Restricted Share Awards
As of March 31, 2011, 948,956 restricted shares were outstanding under the 1997 Plan and vest over
three to seven years from the initial grant date. The remaining compensation expense to be
recognized at March 31, 2011 was approximately $5.5 million. That expense is expected to be
recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.0 years. The Company recognized
compensation expense related to outstanding restricted shares of $0.8 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, of which $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, were
capitalized as part of the Companys review of employee salaries eligible for capitalization. The
expensed amounts are included in general and administrative expense on the Companys consolidated
statement of operations in the respective periods.

On March 2, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Trustees awarded
174,012 restricted shares to the Companys executives. The restricted shares vest ratably over
three years from the grant date. The vesting of the restricted shares is also subject to
acceleration upon a change in control or if the recipient of the award were to die, become
disabled, be terminated without cause or retire in a qualifying retirement prior to the vesting
date. Qualifying retirement for restricted shares granted on March 2, 2011 as provided in the award
agreements Plan means the recipients voluntary termination of employment after reaching age 57 and
accumulating at least 15 years of service with the Company. As of March 31, 2011, none of the
Companys executives had met conditions to elect a qualifying retirement.
Restricted Performance Share Units Plan
On March 2, 2011, March 4, 2010 and April 1, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Parent
Companys Board of Trustees awarded an aggregate of 124,293, 120,955 and 488,292 share-based
awards, respectively, to its executives. These awards are referred to as Restricted Performance
Share Units, or RPSUs. The RPSUs represent the right to earn common shares. The number of common
shares, if any, deliverable to award recipients depends on the Companys performance based on its
total return to shareholders during the three year measurement period that commenced on January 1,
2011 (in the case of the March 2, 2011 awards), January 1, 2010 (in the case of the March 4, 2010
awards) and January 1, 2009 (in the case of the April 1, 2009 awards) and that ends on the earlier
of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011 (as applicable) or the date of a
change of control, compared to the total shareholder return of REITs within an index over such
respective periods. The awards are also contingent upon the continued employment of the
participants through the performance periods (with exceptions for death, disability and qualifying
retirement). Dividends are deemed credited to the performance units accounts and are applied to
acquire more performance units for the account of the unit holder at the price per common share
ending on the dividend payment date. If earned, awards will be settled in common shares in an
amount that reflects both the number of performance units in the holders account at the end of the
applicable measurement period and the Companys total return to shareholders during the applicable
three year measurement period relative to the total shareholder return of the REIT within the
index.
If the total shareholder return during the measurement period places the Company at or above a
certain percentile as compared to its peers based on an industry-based index at the end of the
measurement period then the number of shares that will be delivered shall equal a certain
percentage (not to exceed 200%) of the participants base units.
On the date of each grant, the awards were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair values
of the 2011 and 2010 awards on the grant dates were $2.0 million, respectively, while the 2009
award was $1.1 million. The fair values of each award are being amortized over the three year cliff
vesting period. In the case of the 2011 award, the vesting of the RPSUs is also subject to
acceleration upon a change in control or if the recipient of the award were to die, become
disabled, terminated without cause or retire in a qualifying retirement prior to the vesting date.
Qualifying retirement for restricted shares granted on March 2, 2011 as provided under the 1997
Plan means the recipients voluntary termination of employment after reaching age 57 and
accumulating at least 15 years of service with the Company. As of March 31, 2011, none of the
Companys executives has met conditions to elect a qualifying retirement.
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized total
compensation expense for the 2011, 2010 and 2009 awards of $0.3 million and $0.2 million,
respectively, related to this plan of which nominal amounts were capitalized for each period as
part of the Companys review of employee salaries eligible for capitalization.
Outperformance Program
On August 28, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Parent Companys Board of Trustees adopted a
long-term incentive compensation program (the outperformance program) under the 1997 Plan. The
outperformance program provided for share-based awards, with share issuances (if any), to take the
form of both vested and restricted common shares and with any share issuances contingent upon the
Companys total shareholder return during a three year measurement period exceeding specified
performance hurdles. These hurdles were not met and, accordingly, no shares were delivered under
the outperformance program and the outperformance program has terminated in accordance with its
terms. The awards under the outperformance program were accounted for in accordance with the
accounting standard for stock-based compensation. The aggregate grant date fair value of the awards
under the outperformance program, as adjusted for estimated forfeitures, was approximately $5.9
million (with the values determined through a Monte Carlo simulation) and are being amortized into
expense over the five-year vesting period beginning on the grant dates using a graded vesting
attribution model. For each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company
recognized $0.1 million of compensation expenses related to the outperformance program.

Table of Contents
Employee Share Purchase Plan
On May 9, 2007, the Parent Companys shareholders approved the 2007 Non-Qualified Employee Share
Purchase Plan (the ESPP). The ESPP is intended to provide eligible employees with a convenient
means to purchase common shares of the Parent Company through payroll deductions and voluntary cash
purchases at an amount equal to 85% of the average closing price per share for a specified period.
Under the plan document, the maximum participant contribution for the 2011 plan year is limited to
the lesser of 20% of compensation or $50,000. The number of shares initially reserved for issuance
under the ESPP is 1.25 million. During each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and
2010, employees made purchases under the ESPP of $0.1 million. The Company recognized a nominal
amount of compensation expense related to the ESPP during each of the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Board of Trustees of the Parent Company may terminate
the ESPP at its sole discretion at any time.
Deferred Compensation
In January 2005, the Parent Company adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) that allows
trustees and certain key employees to voluntarily defer compensation. Compensation expense is
recorded for the deferred compensation and a related liability is recognized. Participants may
elect designated benchmark investment options for the notional investment of their deferred
compensation. The deferred compensation obligation is adjusted for deemed income or loss related to
the investments selected. At the time the participants defer compensation, the Company records a
liability, which is included in the Companys consolidated balance sheet. The liability is adjusted
for changes in the market value of the participant-selected investments at the end of each
accounting period, and the impact of adjusting the liability is recorded as an increase or decrease
to compensation cost. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company
recorded a net increase in compensation costs of $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in
connection with the Plan due to the change in the market value of the participant investments in
the Plan.
The deferred compensation obligations are unfunded, but the Company has purchased company-owned
life insurance policies and mutual funds, which can be utilized as a funding source for the
Companys obligations under the Plan. Participants in the Plan have no interest in any assets set
aside by the Company to meet its obligations under the Plan. For the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded a net decrease in compensation cost of $0.4 million
and $0.3 million, respectively, in connection with the investments in the company-owned policies
and mutual funds.
Participants in the Plan may elect to have all or a portion of their deferred compensation invested
in the Companys common shares. The Company holds these shares in a rabbi trust, which is subject
to the claims of the Companys creditors in the event of the Companys bankruptcy or insolvency.
The Plan does not permit diversification of a participants deferral allocated to the Company
common share and deferrals allocated to Company common shares can only be settled with a fixed
number of shares. In accordance with the accounting standard for deferred compensation arrangements
where amounts earned are held in a rabbi trust and invested, the deferred compensation obligation
associated with the Companys common shares is classified as a component of shareholders equity
and the related shares are treated as shares to be issued and are included in total shares
outstanding. At March 31, 2011 and 2010, 0.3 million of such shares, respectively, were included in
total shares outstanding. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the common shares are not
reflected in operations or shareholders equity of the Company.
15. TAX CREDIT TRANSACTIONS
Historic Tax Credit Transaction
On November 17, 2008, the Company closed a transaction with US Bancorp (USB) related to the
historic rehabilitation of the IRS Philadelphia Campus, a 862,692 square foot office building that
is 100% leased to the IRS. On August 27, 2010, the Company completed the development of the IRS
Philadelphia Campus and the IRS lease commenced. USB agreed to contribute approximately $64.8
million of project costs and advanced $10.2 million of that amount contemporaneously with the
closing of the transaction. USB subsequently advanced an additional $27.4 million and $23.8 million
in June 2010 and December 2009, respectively. The remaining amount of approximately $3.0 million
will be advanced upon the Companys completion of certain items and compliance with the federal
rehabilitation regulations.
In exchange for its contributions into the development of IRS Philadelphia Campus, USB is entitled
to substantially all of the benefits derived from the tax rehabilitation credits available under
section 47 of the Internal Revenue Code. USB does not have a material interest in the underlying
economics of the property. This transaction includes a put/call provision whereby the Company may
be obligated or entitled to repurchase USBs interest in the IRS Philadelphia Campus. The Company
believes the put will be exercised and the amount attributed to that puttable non-controlling
interest obligation is included in other liabilities and is being accreted to the expected fixed
put price.
34
Table of Contents
Based on the contractual arrangements that obligate the Company to deliver tax benefits and provide
other guarantees to USB and that entitle the Company through fee arrangements to receive
substantially all available cash flow from the IRS Philadelphia Campus, the Company concluded that
the IRS Philadelphia Campus should be consolidated. The Company also concluded that capital
contributions received from USB, in substance, are consideration that the Company receives in
exchange for its obligation to deliver tax credits and other tax benefits to USB. These receipts
other than the amounts allocated to the put obligation will be recognized as revenue in the
consolidated financial statements beginning when the obligation to USB is relieved which occurs
upon delivery of the expected tax benefits net of any associated costs. The tax credit is subject
to 20% recapture per year beginning one year after the completion of the IRS Philadelphia Campus.
The total USB contributions made amounting to $61.4 million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31,
2010, respectively, are presented within deferred income in the Companys consolidated balance
sheet. The contributions were recorded net of the amount allocated to non-controlling interest as
described above of $2.2 million and $2.1 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively. The Company anticipates that once a year beginning in September 2011 through
September 2015 it will recognize the cash received as revenue net of allocated expenses over the
five year tax credit recapture period as defined in the Internal Revenue Code within other income
(expense) in its consolidated statements of operations. The Company also expects that the put/call
provision will be exercised in December 2015 when the recapture period ends.
Direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring the transaction are deferred and will be
recognized as expense in the consolidated financial statements upon the recognition of the related
revenue as discussed above. The deferred cost at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is $4.3
million, and is included in other assets in the Companys consolidated balance sheet. Amounts
included in interest expense related to the accretion of the non-controlling interest liability and
the 2% return expected to be paid to USB on its non-controlling interest aggregate to $0.4 million
and $0.1 million for the three-months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
New Markets Tax Credit Transaction
On December 30, 2008, the Company entered into a transaction with USB related to the Cira South
Garage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and expects to receive a net benefit of $7.8 million under a
qualified New Markets Tax Credit Program (NMTC). The NMTC was provided for in the Community
Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (the Act) and is intended to induce investment capital in
underserved and impoverished areas of the United States. The Act permits taxpayers (whether
companies or individuals) to claim credits against their Federal income taxes for up to 39% of
qualified investments in qualified, active low-income businesses or ventures.
USB contributed $13.3 million into the development of the Cira South Garage and as such it is
entitled to substantially all of the benefits derived from the tax credit, but it does not have a
material interest in the underlying economics of the Cira South Garage. This transaction also
includes a put/call provision whereby the Company may be obligated or entitled to repurchase USBs
interest. The Company believes the put will be exercised and an amount attributed to that
obligation is included in other liabilities and is being accreted to the expected fixed put price.
The said put price is insignificant.
Based on the contractual arrangements that obligate the Company to deliver tax benefits and provide
various other guarantees to USB, the Company concluded that the investment entities established to
facilitate the NMTC transaction should be consolidated. The USB contribution of $13.3 million is
included in deferred income on the Companys consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010. The USB contribution other than the amount allocated to the put obligation will
be recognized as income in the consolidated financial statements when the tax benefits are
delivered without risk of recapture to the tax credit investors and the Companys obligation is
relieved. The Company anticipates that it will recognize the net cash received as revenue within
other income/expense in the year ended December 31, 2015. The NMTC is subject to 100% recapture
for a period of seven years as provided in the Internal Revenue Code. The Company expects that the
put/call provision will be exercised in December 2015 when the recapture period ends.
Direct and incremental costs incurred in structuring the transaction are deferred and will be
recognized as expense in the consolidated financial statements upon the recognition of the related
revenue as discussed above. The deferred cost at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is $5.3
million and is included in other assets in the Companys consolidated balance sheet.

Table of Contents
Net operating income (NOI) is defined as total revenue less property operating expenses,
real estate taxes and third party management expenses. Segment NOI includes revenue, real estate
taxes and property operating expenses directly related to operation and management of the
properties owned and managed within the respective geographical region. Segment NOI excludes
property level depreciation and amortization, revenue and expenses directly associated with third
party real estate management services, expenses associated with corporate administrative support
services, and inter-company eliminations. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by the
Company to evaluate the operating performance of its real estate assets by segment. The Company
also believes that NOI provides useful information to investors regarding its financial condition
and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expenses recorded at the
property level. While NOI is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real
estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined
by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those measures in evaluating the
Companys liquidity or operating performance. NOI does not also reflect general and administrative
expenses, interest expenses, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization costs,
capital expenditures and leasing costs, or trends in development and construction activities that
could materially impact the Companys results from operations. All companies may not also calculate
NOI in the same manner. The Company believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most
appropriate earnings measure. Below is a reconciliation of consolidated net operating income to
consolidated income from continuing operations:

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including disputes with
tenants and disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell properties. Given the nature of
the Companys business activities, these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of its
business. The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted, because of the very nature of
litigation, the litigation process and its adversarial nature, and the jury system. The Company
does not expect that the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions
will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows of the Company.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state,
and local governments. The Companys compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse
effect on its financial condition and results of operations, and the Company does not believe it
will have a material adverse effect in the future. However, the Company cannot predict the impact
of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on its current
Properties or on properties that the Company may acquire.

Ground Rent
Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancellable ground leases under which the
Company is the lessee are expensed on a straight-line basis regardless of when payments are due.
Minimum future rental payments on non-cancelable leases at March 31, 2011 are as follows (in
thousands):
2011 |
$ | 1,364 | ||

One of the land leases for a property provides for contingent rent participation by the lessor
in certain capital transactions and net operating cash flows of the property after certain returns
are achieved by the Company. Such amounts, if any, will be reflected as contingent rent when
incurred. The leases also provide for payment by the Company of certain operating costs relating to
the land, primarily real estate taxes. The above schedule of future minimum rental payments does
not include any contingent rent amounts nor any reimbursed expenses.
The Company acquired ground tenancy rights under a long term ground lease agreement through its
acquisition of Three Logan Square on August 5, 2010. The annual rental payment under this ground
lease is ten dollars through August 2022 which is when the initial term of the ground lease is
scheduled to end. After the initial term, the Company has the option to renew the lease until 2091.
The Company also has the option to purchase the land at fair market value after providing a written
notice to the owner. The annual rental payment after 2022 will be adjusted at the lower of $3.0
million or the prevailing market rent at that time until 2030. Subsequent to 2030, the annual
rental payment will be adjusted at the lower of $4.0 million or the prevailing market rent at the
time until 2042 and at fair market value until 2091. The Company believes that based on conditions
as of the date the Company acquired its rights under the lease (August 5, 2010), the lease will
reset to market after the initial term. Using the estimated fair market rent as of the date of the
acquisition over the extended term of the ground lease (assuming the purchase option is not
exercised), the future payments will aggregate to $27.4 million. The Company has not included the
amounts in the table above since such amounts are not fixed and determinable.
Other Commitments or Contingencies
As part of the Companys September 2004 acquisition of a portfolio of properties from The
Rubenstein Company (which the Company refers to as the TRC acquisition), the Company acquired its
interest in Two Logan Square, a 708,602 square foot office building in Philadelphia, primarily
through its ownership of a second and third mortgage secured by this property. This property is
consolidated as the borrower is a variable interest entity and the Company, through its ownership
of the second and third mortgages, is the primary beneficiary. The Company currently does not
expect to take title to Two Logan Square until, at the earliest, September 2019. If the Company
takes fee title to Two Logan Square upon a foreclosure of its mortgage, the Company has agreed to
pay an unaffiliated third party that holds a residual interest in the fee owner of this property an
amount equal to $2.9 million. On the TRC acquisition date, the Company recorded a liability of
$0.7 million and this amount will accrete up to $2.9 million through September 2019. As of March
31, 2011, the Company had a balance of $1.3 million for this liability in its consolidated balance
sheet.
The Company is currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) for its 2004 tax
year. The audit concerns the tax treatment of the TRC acquisition in September 2004 in which the
Company acquired a portfolio of properties through the acquisition of a limited partnership. On
December 17, 2010, the Company received notice that the IRS proposed an adjustment to the
allocation of recourse liabilities allocated to the contributor of the properties. The Company has
appealed the proposed adjustment. The proposed adjustment, if upheld, would not result in a
material tax liability for the Company. However, an adjustment could raise a question as to
whether a contributor of partnership interests in the 2004 transaction could assert a claim against
the Company under the tax protection agreement entered into as part of the transaction.

As part of the Companys 2006 merger with Prentiss Properties Trust, the 2004 TRC acquisition and
several of our other transactions, the Company agreed not to sell certain of the properties it
acquired in transactions that would trigger taxable income to the former owners. In the case of the
TRC acquisition, the Company agreed not to sell acquired properties for periods up to 15 years from
the date of the TRC acquisition as follows at March 31, 2011: One Rodney Square and 130/150/170
Radnor Financial Center (January 2015); and One Logan Square, Two Logan Square and Radnor Corporate
Center (January 2020). In the Prentiss acquisition, the Company assumed the obligation of Prentiss
not to sell Concord Airport Plaza before March 2018. The Companys agreements generally provide
that it may dispose of the subject properties only in transactions that qualify as tax-free
exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code or in other tax deferred transactions. If
the Company were to sell a restricted property before expiration of the restricted period in a
non-exempt transaction, the Company may be required to make significant payments to the parties who
sold the applicable property on account of tax liabilities attributed to them.
As part of the Companys acquisition of properties from time to time in tax-deferred transactions,
the Company has agreed to provide certain of the prior owners of the acquired properties with the
right to guarantee the Companys indebtedness. If the Company were to seek to repay the
indebtedness guaranteed by the prior owner before the expiration of the applicable agreement, the
Company will be required to provide the prior owner an opportunity to guaranty a qualifying
replacement debt. These debt maintenance agreements may limit the Companys ability to refinance
indebtedness on terms that will be favorable to the Company.
The Company invests in its properties and regularly incurs capital expenditures in the ordinary
course to maintain the properties. The Company believes that such expenditures enhance its
competitiveness. The Company also enters into construction, utility and service contracts in the
ordinary course of business which may extend beyond one year. These contracts typically provide
for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties.
During 2008, in connection with the development of the IRS Philadelphia Campus and the Cira South
Garage, the Company entered into a historic tax credit and a new market tax credit arrangement,
respectively. The Company is required to be in compliance with various laws, regulations and
contractual provisions that apply to its historic and new market tax credit arrangements.
Non-compliance with applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being
realized and require a refund or reduction of investor capital contributions, which are reported as
deferred income in the Companys consolidated balance sheet, until such time as its obligation to
deliver tax benefits is relieved. The remaining compliance periods for its tax credit arrangements
runs through 2015. The Company does not anticipate that any material refunds or reductions of
investor capital contributions will be required in connection with these arrangements.
18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 5, 2011, the Company closed a registered underwritten offering of $325.0 million in
aggregate principal amount of its 4.95% senior unsecured notes due 2018. The notes were priced at
98.907% of their face amount with an effective interest rate of 5.137%. The net proceeds which
amounted to $318.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses were used
to repay the Companys indebtedness under its Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking
statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other materials filed by us with the SEC (as
well as information included in oral or other written statements made by us) contain statements
that are forward-looking, including statements relating to business and real estate development
activities, acquisitions, dispositions, future capital expenditures, financing sources,
governmental regulation (including environmental regulation) and competition. We intend such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions of the 1995 Act. The words
anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, intend, will, should and similar expressions,
as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that
the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions,
we can give no assurance that our expectations will be achieved. As forward-looking statements,
these statements involve important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the expected results and, accordingly, such results may differ
from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited
to:
| the continuing impact of the recent credit crisis and global economic slowdown,
which is having and may continue to have a negative effect on the following, among other
things: |
| the fundamentals of our business, including overall market occupancy,
demand for office space and rental rates; |
| the financial condition of our tenants, many of which are financial,
legal and other professional firms, our lenders, counterparties to our derivative
financial instruments and institutions that hold our cash balances and short-term
investments, which may expose us to increased risks of default by these parties; |
| availability of financing on attractive terms or at all, which may
adversely impact our future interest expense and our ability to pursue acquisition
and development opportunities and refinance existing debt; and |
| a decline in real estate asset valuations, which may limit our ability
to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing
secured by our properties or on an unsecured basis. |
| changes in local real estate conditions (including changes in rental rates and the
number of properties that compete with our properties); |
| changes in the economic conditions affecting industries in which our principal
tenants compete; |
| the unavailability of equity and debt financing; |
| our failure to lease unoccupied space in accordance with our projections; |
| our failure to re-lease occupied space upon expiration of leases; |
| tenant defaults and the bankruptcy of major tenants; |
| increases in interest rates; |
| failure of interest rate hedging contracts to perform as expected and the
effectiveness of such arrangements; |
| failure of acquisitions to perform as expected; |
| unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition, integration and operation of,
our acquisitions; |
| unanticipated costs to complete, lease-up and operate our developments and
redevelopments; |
| unanticipated costs associated with land development, including building
moratoriums and inability to obtain necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and
other required governmental approvals, construction cost increases or overruns and
construction delays; |
| impairment charges; |
| increased costs for, or lack of availability of, adequate insurance, including for
terrorist acts; |
| actual or threatened terrorist attacks; |
| demand for tenant services beyond those traditionally provided by landlords; |
| liability under environmental or other laws; |
| failure or bankruptcy of real estate venture partners; |
| inability of real estate venture partners to fund venture obligations; |
| failure of dispositions to close in a timely manner; |
| failure of buyers of properties from us to comply with terms of their financing
agreements to us; |
| earthquakes and other natural disasters; |

| unforeseen impact of climate change and compliance costs relating to laws and
regulations governing climate change; |

of our failure to qualify as a REIT; and |
| the impact of newly adopted accounting principles on our accounting policies and on
period-to-period comparisons of financial results. |
Given these uncertainties, and the other risks identified in the Risk Factors section of our 2010
Annual Report on Form 10-K, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become
untrue because of subsequent events.
The discussion that follows is based primarily on our consolidated financial statements as of March
31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and should be
read along with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this
report. The ability to compare one period to another may be significantly affected by acquisitions
completed, development properties placed in service and dispositions made during those periods.
OVERVIEW
As of March 31, 2011, our portfolio consisted of 210 office properties, 20 industrial facilities
and four mixed-use properties that contain an aggregate of approximately 25.8 million net rentable
square feet. These 234 properties make up our core portfolio. We also had, as of March 31, 2011, a
garage property under redevelopment. Therefore, as of March 31, 2011, we owned 235 properties with
an aggregate of 25.8 million net rentable square feet. As of March 31, 2011, we also held economic
interests in 17 unconsolidated real estate ventures (the Real Estate Ventures) that we formed
with third parties to develop or own commercial properties. The properties owned by these Real
Estate Ventures contain approximately 6.5 million net rentable square feet.
As of March 31, 2011, we managed our portfolio within seven geographic segments: (1) Pennsylvania,
(2) Philadelphia CBD, (3) Metropolitan Washington D.C, (4) New Jersey/Delaware, (5) Richmond,
Virginia, (6) Austin, Texas and (7) California. The Pennsylvania segment includes properties in
Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties in the Philadelphia suburbs. The Philadelphia CBD
segment includes properties located in the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. The Metropolitan
Washington, D.C. segment includes properties in Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland. The New
Jersey/Delaware segment includes properties in Burlington, Camden and Mercer counties and in New
Castle county in the state of Delaware. The Richmond, Virginia segment includes properties
primarily in Albemarle, Chesterfield, Goochland and Henrico counties and Durham, North Carolina.
The Austin, Texas segment includes properties in Austin. The California segment includes properties
in Oakland, Concord, Carlsbad and Rancho Bernardo.
We generate cash and revenue from leases of space at our properties and, to a lesser extent, from
the management of properties owned by third parties and from investments in the Real Estate
Ventures. Factors that we evaluate when leasing space include rental rates, costs of tenant
improvements, tenant creditworthiness, current and expected operating costs, the length of the
lease, vacancy levels and demand for office and industrial space. We also generate cash through
sales of assets, including assets that we do not view as core to our portfolio, either because of
location or expected growth potential, and assets that are commanding premium prices from third
party investors.
Our financial and operating performance is dependent upon the demand for office, industrial and
other commercial space in our markets, our leasing results, our acquisition, disposition and
development activity, our financing activity, our cash requirements and economic and market
conditions, including prevailing interest rates.
Volatile economic conditions could result in a reduction of the availability of financing and
potentially in higher borrowing costs. These factors, coupled with a sluggish economic recovery,
have reduced the volume of real estate transactions and created credit stresses on most businesses.
We believe that vacancy rates may increase through 2011 and possibly beyond as the current economic
climate negatively impacts tenants in our Properties.
42
Table of Contents
We expect that the impact of the current state of the economy, including high unemployment and the
unprecedented volatility and illiquidity in the financial and credit markets, will continue to have
a dampening effect on the fundamentals of our business, including increases in past due accounts,
tenant defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. These conditions would negatively
affect our future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition. We believe that the quality of our assets and our strong balance sheet will
enable us to raise debt capital, if necessary, from sources such as traditional term or secured
loans from banks, pension funds and life insurance companies, however these sources are lending
fewer dollars, under stricter terms and at higher borrowing rates, and there can be no assurance
that we will be able to borrow funds on terms that are economically attractive or at all.
We seek revenue growth at our portfolio through an increase in occupancy and rental rates.
Occupancy at our core portfolio at March 31, 2011 was 85.3%.
In seeking to increase revenue through our operating, financing and investment activities, we also
seek to minimize operating risks, including (i) tenant rollover risk, (ii) tenant credit risk and
(iii) development risk.
Tenant Rollover Risk:
We are subject to the risk that tenant leases, upon expiration, will not be renewed, that space may
not be relet, or that the terms of renewal or reletting (including the cost of renovations) may be
less favorable to us than the current lease terms. Leases accounting for approximately 5.9% of our
aggregate final annualized base rents as of March 31, 2011 (representing approximately 5.7% of the
net rentable square feet of the Properties) expire without penalty in 2011. We maintain an active
dialogue with our tenants in an effort to maximize lease renewals. During the three months ended
March 31, 2011, we achieved a 68.2 % retention rate in our core portfolio. If we are unable to
renew leases or relet space under expiring leases, at anticipated rental rates, or if tenants
terminate their leases early, our cash flow would be adversely impacted.
Tenant Credit Risk:
In the event of a tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord
and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. Our management regularly evaluates
our accounts receivable reserve policy in light of our tenant base and general and local economic
conditions. Our accounts receivable allowance was $15.3 million or 11.5% of total receivables
(including accrued rent receivable) as of March 31, 2011 compared to $15.2 million or 12.0% of
total receivables (including accrued rent receivable) as of December 31, 2010.
If economic conditions persist or deteriorate further, we may experience increases in past due
accounts, defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. This condition would negatively
affect our future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition.
Development Risk:
At March 31, 2011, we were redeveloping one garage project in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with total
projected costs of $14.8 million of which $0.5 million remained to be funded. In addition, we are
completing the lease-up of five recently completed developments, aggregating 0.9 million square
feet, for which we expect to spend an additional $12.7 million for tenant improvements and other leasing
costs in 2011. We are actively marketing space at these projects to prospective tenants but can
provide no assurance as to the timing or terms of any leases of space at these projects.
As of March 31, 2011, we owned approximately 510 acres of undeveloped land. As market conditions
warrant, we will seek to opportunistically dispose of those parcels that we do not anticipate
developing. For parcels of land that we ultimately develop, we will be subject to risks and costs
associated with land development, including building moratoriums and inability to obtain necessary
zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental approvals, construction cost
increases or overruns and construction delays, and insufficient occupancy rates and rental rates.
We also entered into development agreements related to two of our land parcels under option for
ground lease that require us to commence development by December 31, 2012. If we determine that we
will not be able to start the construction by the date specified, or if we determine that
development is not in our best economic interest and an extension of the development period cannot
be negotiated, we will write off all costs that we have incurred in preparing these parcels of land
for development amounting to $7.7 million as of March 31, 2011.

RECENT PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS
On March 28, 2011, we acquired two office properties totaling 126,496 of net rentable square feet
in Glen Allen, Virginia known as Overlook I and II for $12.6 million. These office properties are
currently 100% leased. We funded the acquisition price through an advance under our Credit
Facility and with available corporate funds.
On January 20, 2011, we acquired a one acre parcel of land in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $9.3
million. We funded the cost of this acquisition with available corporate cash and a draw on our
Credit Facility. We are planning to contribute the acquired property into a real estate venture in
return for a 50% limited interest in the partnership. The real estate venture will be formed to
construct a mixed-use development property in the city of Philadelphia. We received $4.9 million
from the prospective partner in anticipation of the real estate venture formation.
We did not have any property dispositions during the three months ended March 31, 2011, however, we
continually reassess our portfolio to determine properties that may be in our best interest to sell
depending on strategic or economic factors. From time to time, the decision to sell properties in
the short term could result in an impairment or other loss being taken by us and such losses could
be material to the statement of operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Certain
accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as they require management
to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and
changes in accounting policies are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Management
bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and current economic conditions. On an
on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions including those related to
revenue, impairment of long-lived assets and the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results
may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 contains a discussion of our
critical accounting policies. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting
policies since December 31, 2010. See also Note 2 in our unaudited consolidated financial
statements for the three-months ended March 31, 2011 set forth herein. Management discusses our
critical accounting policies and managements judgments and estimates with our Audit Committee.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
The table below shows selected operating information for the Same Store Property Portfolio and
the Total Portfolio. The Same Store Property Portfolio consists of 228 properties containing an
aggregate of approximately 23.0 million net rentable square feet that we owned for the entire
three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. This table also includes a reconciliation from
the Same Store Property Portfolio to the Total Portfolio net income (i.e., all properties owned by
us during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010) by providing information for the
properties which were acquired, placed into service, under development or redevelopment and
administrative/elimination information for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(in thousands).
The Total Portfolio net income presented in the table is equal to the net income of the Parent
Company and the Operating Partnership.

Table of Contents
Total Revenue
Cash rents from the Total Portfolio increased by $5.1 million from the first quarter of 2010 to the
first quarter of 2011 primarily reflecting:
| increase of $9.7 million in rental income due to our acquisition of Three Logan
Square and the completion and placement in service of the IRS Philadelphia Campus
and Cira South Garage during the third quarter of 2010; and |
| an offsetting decrease of $4.6 million of rental income at the same store
portfolio as a result of the decrease in same store occupancy of 250 basis points; |
Straight-line rents increased by $1.8 million partially due to $0.7 million of straight-line rents
from the aforementioned properties that were acquired and placed in service during the third
quarter of 2010. The remainder of the increase is due to leases that commenced during the first
quarter of 2011 with free rent periods at our same store properties.
Tenant reimbursements increased by $2.2 million mainly due to additional reimbursements from the
aforementioned properties that were acquired and placed in service during the third quarter of
2010. This increase is consistent with the increase in property operating expenses and real estate
taxes.
Termination fees at the Total Portfolio decreased by $1.2 million due to timing and volume of
tenant move-outs during the first quarter of 2010 when compared to the first quarter of 2011.
Third party management fees, labor reimbursement and leasing decreased by $0.7 million mainly due
to a $0.5 million construction fee for services that we provided to a third party during the three
months ended March 31, 2010.
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses increased by $1.7 million mainly due to $4.0 million of additional
expenses from the aforementioned properties that we acquired and placed in service during the third
quarter of 2010. This increase was offset by the decreases in bad debt expense $1.0 million and
repairs and maintenance of $0.9 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first
quarter of 2010. In addition, during the first quarter of 2011, we received a tax refund from the
State of Texas amounting $0.3 million for overpayment of taxes in prior years.
Real Estate Taxes
Real estate taxes increased by $1.7 million mainly due to additional real estate taxes from Three
Logan Square which we acquired during the third quarter of 2010 and increases in real estate tax
reassessments in our other properties.
Interest Expense
The increase in interest expense of $0.9 million is primarily due to the following:
| increase of $3.1 million resulting from a higher mortgage notes payable balance
at March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010 due to the closing of the mortgages on
the IRS Philadelphia Campus and Cira South Garage during the third quarter of 2010; |
| increase of $0.3 million resulting from a higher level of borrowings and weighted
average interest rate on our Credit Facility borrowings for the three-months ended
March 31, 2011 compared to the three-months ended March 31, 2010; |
| increase of $0.3 million in our estimated equity interest payments resulting from
a $27.4 million contribution received in connection with our historic tax credit
transaction; and |
| decrease of $2.9 million of capitalized interest as a result of lower development
activity during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2010. |
The above explained increase of $6.6 million in interest expense is off-set by a decrease of $2.1
million in hedged interest payments as a result of the maturity of our remaining hedges in October
2010 and a decrease of $3.6 million resulting from our buybacks of various unsecured notes
subsequent to the first quarter of 2010. The details of the various purchases completed during the
three-months ended March 31, 2010 are noted in the Loss on early extinguishment of debt section
below and details for all purchases during 2010 are included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form
10-K.

Table of Contents
Loss on early extinguishment of debt
There were no debt repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The $1.2 million loss
on early extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2010 relates to following
repurchases: (i) $36.2 million of our 3.875% Exchangeable Notes, (ii) $0.7 million of our 5.625%
Guaranteed Notes due 2010 and (iii) $11.0 million of our 5.750% Guaranteed Notes due 2012.
Net gain on sale of interests in real estate
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized a $2.8 million net gain upon the sale
of our 11% remaining ownership interest in three properties that we partially sold to one of our
unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures in December 2007. We had retained an 11% equity interest in
these properties subject to a put/call at fixed prices for a period of three years from the time
of the sale. In January 2011, we exercised the put/call which then transferred full ownership in
the three properties to the Real Estate Venture. Accordingly, our direct continuing involvement
through our 11% interest in the properties ceased as a result of the transfer of the ownership
interest.
Discontinued Operations
We have no property dispositions during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The loss from
discontinued operations of $0.1 million pertains to certain sale-related expenses that the Company
incurred subsequent to the sale of certain properties through December 31, 2010.
The March 31, 2010 amounts are reclassified to include the operations of the properties sold
through the last quarter of 2010, as well as all properties that were sold through the year ended
December 31, 2010. Therefore, the discontinued operations amount for the first quarter of 2010
includes total revenue of $1.7 million, operating expenses of $1.0 million and depreciation and
amortization expense of $0.5 million.
Net loss
Net loss increased by $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of the factors described above. Net loss is
significantly impacted by depreciation of operating properties and amortization of acquired
intangibles. These non-cash charges do not directly affect our ability to pay dividends.
Amortization of acquired intangibles will continue over the related lease terms or estimated
duration of the tenant relationship.
Loss per Common Share
Loss per share was $0.02 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 as a result of the
factors described above and an increase in the average number of common shares outstanding. The
increase in the average number of common shares outstanding is primarily due to the issuances
pursuant to the Offering Program in 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF THE PARENT COMPANY
The Parent Company conducts its business through the Operating Partnership and its only material
asset is its ownership of the partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. The Parent
Company, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issues public
equity from time to time and guarantees the debt obligations of the Operating Partnership. The
Parent Companys principal funding requirement is the payment of dividends on its common stock and
preferred stock. The Parent Companys principal source of funding for its dividend payments is the
distributions it receives from the Operating Partnership.
As of March 31, 2011, the Parent Company owned a 93.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. The
remaining interest of approximately 6.9% pertains to common limited partnership interests owned by
non-affiliated investors who contributed property to the Operating Partnership. As the sole
general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full and complete
responsibility for the Operating Partnerships day-to-day operations and management.
The Parent Companys only source of capital (other than proceeds of equity issuances which the
Parent Company contributes to the Operating Partnership) is from the distributions it receives from
the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company believes that the Operating Partnerships sources of
working capital, particularly its cash flows from operations and borrowings available under its
Credit Facility, are adequate for it to make its distribution payments to the Parent Company, which
in turn will enable the Parent Company to make dividend payments to its shareholders.
The Parent Company receives proceeds from equity issuances from time to time, but is required by
the Operating Partnerships partnership agreement to contribute the proceeds from its equity
issuances to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units of the Operating
Partnership. The Parent Companys ability to sell common shares and preferred shares is dependent
on, among other things, general market conditions for REITs, market perceptions about the Company
as a whole and the current trading price of its shares. The Parent Company regularly analyzes which
source of capital is most advantageous to it at any particular point in time. In March 2010, the
Parent Company commenced a continuous equity offering program (the Offering Program), under which
it may sell up to an aggregate amount of 15,000,000 common shares until March 10, 2013. The Parent
Company may sell common shares in amounts and at times to be determined by the Parent Company.
Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Parent Company, including
market conditions, the trading price of its common shares and determinations by the Parent Company
of the appropriate sources of funding. In conjunction with the Offering Program, the Parent
Company engages sales agents who receive compensation, in aggregate, of up to 2% of the gross sales
price per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Parent Company sold 188,400
shares under this program at an average sales price of $12.23 per share resulting in net proceeds
of $2.2 million. The Parent Company contributed the net proceeds from the sales to the Operating
Partnership. From its inception through March 31, 2011, the Parent Company has sold 5,930,668
shares under this program
On March 11, 2011, the Parent Company declared a distribution of $0.15 per common share, totaling
$20.4 million, which it paid on April 19, 2011 to its shareholders of record as of April 5, 2011.
In addition, the Parent Company declared distributions on its Series C Preferred Shares and Series
D Preferred Shares to holders of record as of March 30, 2011. These shares are entitled to a
preferential return of 7.50% and 7.375%, respectively. Distributions paid on April 15, 2011 to
holders of Series C Preferred Shares and Series D Preferred Shares totaled $0.9 million and $1.1
million, respectively.
The Parent Company also maintains a share repurchase program under which its Board of Trustees has
authorized the Parent Company to repurchase its common shares from time to time. As of March 31,
2011, there were approximately 0.5 million shares remaining to be repurchased under this program.
The Parent Companys Board of Trustees has not limited the duration of the program; however, it may
be terminated at any time.
Together with the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company maintains a shelf registration
statement that registered common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares and warrants and
unsecured debt securities. Subject to the Companys ongoing compliance with securities laws, and
if warranted by market conditions, the Company may offer and sell equity and debt securities from
time to time under the shelf registration statement.
The Parent Company unconditionally guarantees the Operating Partnerships secured and unsecured
obligations which as of March 31, 2011 amounted to $708.3 million and $1,736.3 million,
respectively. If the Operating Partnership fails to comply with its debt requirements, the Parent
Company will be required to fulfill the Operating Partnerships commitments under such guarantees.
As of March 31, 2011, the Operating Partnership is in compliance with all of its debt covenant and
requirement obligations.
In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Parent Company is required to, among other
things, pay dividends to its shareholders of at least 90% of its REIT taxable income. The Parent
Company has historically satisfied this requirement.
Overall, the liquidity of the Parent Company is dependent on the Operating Partnerships ability to
make distributions to the Parent Company. However, there can be no assurance that the Operating
Partnerships sources of capital will continue to be available to meet its working capital needs
including its ability to make distribution payments to the Parent Company. In cases where the
Operating Partnership is faced with working capital problems or would need to raise capital to fund
acquisitions and developments, the Parent Company will have to consider alternative sources to
increase liquidity, including, among other things, equity issuances through its existing Offering
Program, use of its available line of credit and potential sale of properties.

Table of Contents
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
General
The Operating Partnerships principal liquidity needs for the next twelve months are as follows:
| fund normal recurring expenses, |
| fund capital expenditures, including capital and tenant improvements and leasing
costs, |
| fund repayment of certain debt instruments when they mature, |
| fund current development and redevelopment costs, and |
| fund distributions to the Parent Company |
The Operating Partnership believes that with the uncertain economic conditions, it is likely that
vacancy rates may continue to increase, effective rental rates on new and renewed leases may
continue to decrease and tenant installation costs, including concessions, may continue to increase
in most or all of its markets in 2011 and possibly beyond. As a result, the Operating Partnerships
revenue from the overall reduced demand for office space, and its cash flow could be insufficient
to cover increased tenant installation costs over the short-term. If this situation were to occur,
the Operating Partnership expects that it would finance cash deficits through borrowings under our
Credit Facility and other debt and equity financings.
The Operating Partnership believes that its liquidity needs will be satisfied through cash flows
generated by operations, financing activities and selective property sales. Rental revenue, expense
recoveries from tenants, and other income from operations are its principal sources of cash that it
uses to pay operating expenses, debt service, recurring capital expenditures and the minimum
distributions required to maintain its REIT qualification. The Operating Partnership seeks to
increase cash flows from its properties by maintaining quality standards for its properties that
promote high occupancy rates and permit increases in rental rates while reducing tenant turnover
and controlling operating expenses. The Operating Partnerships revenue also includes third-party
fees generated by its property management, leasing, development and construction businesses. The
Operating Partnership believes that its revenue, together with proceeds from property sales and
debt financings, will continue to provide funds for its short-term liquidity needs. However,
material changes in its operating or financing activities may adversely affect its net cash flows.
Such changes, in turn, would adversely affect its ability to fund distributions to the Parent
Company, debt service payments and tenant improvements. In addition, a material adverse change in
its cash provided by operations would affect the financial performance covenants under its Credit
Facility, unsecured term loan and unsecured notes.
Financial markets have experienced unusual volatility and uncertainty. The Operating Partnerships
ability to fund development projects, as well as its ability to repay or refinance debt maturities
could be adversely affected by its inability to secure financing at reasonable terms beyond those
already completed. It is possible, in these unusual and uncertain times that one or more lenders in
its Credit Facility could fail to fund a borrowing request. Such an event could adversely affect
its ability to access funds from its Credit Facility when needed.
The Operating Partnerships liquidity management remains a priority. The Operating Partnership
regularly pursues new financing opportunities to ensure an appropriate balance sheet position. As a
result of these dedicated efforts, the Operating Partnership is comfortable with its ability to
meet future debt maturities and development or property acquisition funding needs. The Operating
Partnership believes that its current balance sheet is in an adequate position at the date of this
filing, despite the volatility in the credit markets. During the three months ended March 31, 2011,
the Parent Company had contributed $2.2 million in net proceeds from the sale of 188,400 of its
common shares under the Offering Program to the Operating Partnership in exchange for the issuance
of 188,400 common partnership units to the Parent Company. The Operating Partnership used the net
proceeds contributed by the Parent Company to reduce borrowings under the Credit Facility and for
general corporate purposes. On April 5, 2011, we closed a registered offering of $325.0 million in
aggregate principal amount of our 4.95% senior unsecured notes due 2018. The notes were priced at
98.907% of their face amount with an effective interest rate of 5.137%. The net proceeds which
amounted to $318.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses were used
to repay our indebtedness under our Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.
The Operating Partnership uses multiple financing sources to fund its long-term capital needs. It
uses its Credit Facility for general business purposes, including the acquisition, development and
redevelopment of properties and the repayment of other debt. It will also consider other
properties within its portfolio as necessary, where it may be in its best interest to obtain a
secured mortgage.
The Operating Partnerships ability to incur additional debt is dependent upon a number of factors,
including its credit ratings, the value of its unencumbered assets, its degree of leverage and
borrowing restrictions imposed by its current lenders. If more than one rating agency were to
downgrade its credit rating, its access to capital in the unsecured debt market would be more
limited and the interest rate under its existing Credit Facility and the Bank Term Loan would
increase.
49
Table of Contents
The Operating Partnerships ability to sell its limited partnership and preferred units is
dependent on, among other things, general market conditions for REITs, market perceptions about the
Company and the current trading price of the Parent Companys shares. The Parent Company
contributes the proceeds it receives from its equity issuances to the Operating Partnership in
exchange for partnership units of the Operating Partnership in accordance with the Operating Partnerships
partnership agreement. The Operating Partnership uses the net proceeds from the sales contributed
by the Parent Company to repay balances on its Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.
The Operating Partnership, from time to time, also issues its own partnership units as
consideration for property acquisitions and developments.
The Operating Partnership will also consider sales of selected Properties as another source of
managing its liquidity. Asset sales have been a source of cash for the Operating Partnership.
Since mid-2007, the Operating Partnership has used proceeds from asset sales to repay existing
indebtedness, provide capital for its development activities and strengthen its financial
condition. There is no guarantee that it will be able to raise similar or even lesser amounts of
capital from future asset sales.
Cash Flows
The following discussion of the Operating Partnerships cash flows is based on the consolidated
statement of cash flows and is not meant to be a comprehensive discussion of the changes in our
cash flows for the periods presented.
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Operating Partnership maintained cash and cash
equivalents of $0.2 million and $16.6 million, respectively. The following are the changes in cash
flow from its activities for the three-month periods ended March 31 (in thousands):
Activity | 2011 | 2010 | ||||||
Operating |
$ | 57,747 | $ | 39,938 | ||||
Investing |
(62,470 | ) | (47,361 | ) | ||||
Financing |
(11,593 | ) | 13,446 | |||||
Net cash flows |
$ | (16,316 | ) | $ | 6,023 | |||
The Operating Partnerships principal source of cash flows is from the operation of its properties.
The Operating Partnership does not restate its cash flow for discontinued operations.
The net increase of $17.8 million in cash flows from operating activities of the Operating
Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March
31, 2010 is primarily attributable to the following:
| our acquisition of Three Logan Square and the completion and placement in service of the
IRS Philadelphia Campus and Cira South Garage during the third quarter of 2010; and |
| timing of cash receipts and cash expenditures in the normal course of operations. |
The net increase in cash from operating activities was partially offset by the following:
| decrease in average occupancy from 87.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2010 to
85.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2011; |
| decrease in the number of operating properties due to dispositions. The Operating
Partnership sold a total of seven properties subsequent to March 31, 2010. |
The net increase of $15.1 million in cash flows used in investing activities of the Operating
Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March
31, 2010 is primarily attributable to the following:
| $22.0 million of net cash paid related to the acquisition of two office buildings in Glen
Allen, Virginia and a parcel of land in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.; |
| net proceeds from sales of properties for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of $10.4

The net increase in cash used in investing activities was partially offset by the following
transactions:
| decreased capital expenditures for tenant and building improvements and leasing
commissions by $18.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in capital expenditures mainly related to
the completion of and placement in service of the IRS Philadelphia Campus and Cira South
Garage during the third quarter of 2010 |
| increase in cash distributions from unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures of $1.1 million
during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31,
2010; and |
| decrease in cash of $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to
the deconsolidation of variable interest entities last year. |
The net decrease of $25.0 million in cash from financing activities of the Operating Partnership
during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 is
mainly due to the following:
| decrease in proceeds from Credit Facility of $18.5 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. |
| increase in repayments of the Credit Facility and mortgage notes payable of $37.1
million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2010. |
| net settlement of hedge transactions amounting to $0.6 million during the three months
ended March 31, 2011. |
| increase in debt financing costs of $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31,
2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. |
| decrease in net proceeds received from the issuance of common shares of the Parent
Company amounting to $13.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to
the issuance made during the three months ended March 31, 2010; and |
| increase in distributions paid by the Parent Company to its shareholders and on
non-controlling interests from $21.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010 to
$22.7 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2011. |
The net decrease in cash from financing activities described above was offset by the repayments of
unsecured notes of $46.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The variable rate debt shown above generally bear interest based on various spreads over a LIBOR
term selected by the Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership uses Credit Facility borrowings for general business purposes, including
the acquisition, development and redevelopment of properties and the repayment of other debt. It
has the option to increase the maximum borrowings under its Credit Facility to $800.0 million
subject to the absence of any defaults and its ability to obtain additional commitments from its
existing or new lenders. The Credit Facility requires the maintenance of financial covenants,
including ratios related to minimum net worth, debt to total capitalization and fixed charge
coverage and customary non-financial covenants. The Operating Partnership is in compliance with all
covenants as of March 31, 2011.
The indenture under which the Operating Partnership issued its unsecured notes contains financial
covenants, including (1) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, (2) a secured debt leverage ratio not
to exceed 40%, (3) a debt service coverage ratio of greater than 1.5 to 1.0 and (4) an unencumbered
asset value of not less than 150% of unsecured debt. The Operating Partnership is in compliance
with all covenants as of March 31, 2011.
The Operating Partnership has mortgage loans that are collateralized by certain of its Properties.
Payments on mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or
interest only. The Operating Partnership intends to refinance or repay its mortgage loans as they
mature through the use of proceeds from selective Property sales and secured or unsecured
borrowings. However, in the current and expected future economic environment one or more of these
sources may not be available on attractive terms or at all.
The Parent Companys charter documents do not limit the amount or form of indebtedness that the
Operating Partnership may incur, and its policies on debt incurrence are solely within the
discretion of the Parent Companys Board of Trustees, subject to financial covenants in the Credit
Facility, indenture and other credit agreements.
As of March 31, 2011, the Operating Partnership had guaranteed repayment of approximately $0.7
million of loans on behalf of one Real Estate Venture. The Operating Partnership also provides
customary environmental indemnities and completion guarantees in connection with construction and
permanent financing both for its own account and on behalf of certain of the Real Estate Ventures.
Equity
On March 11, 2011, the Operating Partnership declared a distribution of $0.15 per common
partnership unit, totaling $20.4 million, which was paid on April 19, 2011 to unitholders of record
as of April 5, 2011.
On March 11, 2011, the Operating Partnership declared distributions on its Series D Preferred
Mirror Units and Series E Preferred Mirror Units to holders of record as of March 30, 2011. These
units are entitled to a preferential return of 7.50% and 7.375%, respectively. Distributions paid
on April 15, 2011 to holders of Series D Preferred Mirror Units and Series E Preferred Mirror Units
totaled $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Table of Contents
During the three-months ended March 31, 2011, the Parent Company contributed net proceeds amounting
to $2.2 million from the sale of 188,400 shares under its Offering Program to the Operating
Partnership in exchange for the issuance of 188,400 common partnership units to the Parent Company.
The Operating Partnership used the net proceeds from the sales to repay balances on its unsecured
revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. From the inception of the Offering
Program through March 31, 2011, the Operating Partnership has issued an aggregate of 5,930,668
common partnership units to the Parent Company.
The Parent Company did not purchase any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and,
accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Operating Partnership did not
repurchase any units in connection with the Parent Companys share repurchase program.
Together with the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company maintains a shelf registration
statement that registered common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares and warrants and
unsecured debt securities. Subject to the Companys ongoing compliance with securities laws, if
warranted by market conditions, the Company may offer and sell equity and debt securities from time
to time under the shelf registration statement.
Short- and Long-Term Liquidity
The Operating Partnership believes that its cash flow from operations is adequate to fund its
short-term liquidity requirements, excluding principal payments under its debt obligations. Cash
flow from operations is generated primarily from rental revenues and operating expense
reimbursements from tenants and management services income from providing services to third
parties. The Operating Partnership intends to use these funds to meet short-term liquidity needs,
which are to fund operating expenses, recurring capital expenditures, tenant allowances, leasing
commissions, interest expense and the minimum distributions required to maintain the Parent Companys REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code. The Operating Partnership
expects to meet short-term scheduled debt maturities through borrowings under the Credit Facility
and proceeds from asset dispositions. As of March 31, 2011, the Operating Partnership had $615.0
million of unsecured debt and $170.5 million of mortgage debt that is scheduled to mature through
December 2012. On April 5, 2011, the Operating Partnership closed a registered underwritten
offering of $325.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.95% senior unsecured notes due
2018. The net proceeds which amounted to $318.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and
offering expenses were used to repay indebtedness under the Credit Facility and for general
corporate purposes. The Operating Partnership extended its Credit Facility and the Bank Term Loan
from June 29, 2011 to June 29, 2012. For the remaining debt maturities the Operating Partnership
expects to have sufficient capacity under the Credit Facility but it will also continue to evaluate
the other listed sources to fund these maturities.
The Operating Partnership expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements, such as for
property acquisitions, development, investments in real estate ventures, scheduled debt maturities,
major renovations, expansions and other significant capital improvements, through cash from
operations, borrowings under the Credit Facility, additional secured and unsecured indebtedness,
the issuance of equity securities, contributions from joint venture investors and proceeds from
asset dispositions.
Many commercial real estate lenders have substantially tightened underwriting standards or have
withdrawn from the lending marketplace. Also, spreads in the investment grade bond market remain
wider than historic spreads. These circumstances have impacted liquidity in the debt markets,
making financing terms less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the unavailability of
certain types of debt financing. As a result, the Operating Partnership expects debt financings
will be more difficult to obtain and that borrowing costs on new and refinanced debt will be more
expensive. Moreover, the volatility in the financial markets, in general, will make it more
difficult or costly, for it to raise capital through the issuance of common stock, preferred stock
or other equity instruments or through public issuances of debt securities from its shelf
registration statement as it has been able to do in the past. Such conditions would also limit its
ability to raise capital through asset dispositions at attractive prices or at all.
Inflation
A majority of the Operating Partnerships leases provide for tenant reimbursement of real estate
taxes and operating expenses either on a triple net basis or over a base amount. In addition, many
of its office leases provide for fixed base rent increases. The Operating Partnership believes that
inflationary increases in expenses will be partially offset by expense reimbursement and
contractual rent increases.

The Operating Partnership has ground tenancy rights under a long term ground lease agreement when
it acquired Three Logan Square on August 5, 2010. The annual rental payment under this ground
lease is ten dollars through August 2022 which is when the initial term of the ground lease will
end. After the initial term, the Operating Partnership has the option to renew the lease until
2091. The Operating Partnership also obtained the option to purchase the land at fair market value
after providing a written notice to the owner. The annual rental payment after 2022 will be
adjusted at the lower of $3.0 million or the prevailing market rent at that time until 2030.
Subsequent to 2030, the annual rental payment will be adjusted at the lower of $4.0 million or the
prevailing market rent at that time until 2042 and at fair market value until 2091. The Operating
Partnership believes that based on conditions as of the date the lease was assigned (August 5,
2010), the lease will reset to market after the initial term. Using the estimated fair market rent
as of the date of the acquisition over the extended term of the ground lease (assuming the purchase
option is not exercised), the future payments will aggregate $27.4 million. The Operating
Partnership has not included the amounts in the table above since such amounts are not fixed and
determinable.
As part of the Operating Partnerships September 2004 acquisition of a portfolio of properties from
The Rubenstein Company (which the Operating Partnership refers to as the TRC acquisition), the
Operating Partnership acquired its interest in Two Logan Square, a 708,602 square foot office
building in Philadelphia, primarily through its ownership of a second and third mortgage secured by
this property. This property is consolidated as the borrower is a variable interest entity and the
Operating Partnership, through its ownership of the second and third mortgages, is the primary
beneficiary. It currently does not expect to take title to Two Logan Square until, at the earliest,
September 2019. If the Operating Partnership takes fee title to Two Logan Square upon a foreclosure
of its mortgage, the Operating Partnership has agreed to pay an unaffiliated third party that holds
a residual interest in the fee owner of this property an amount equal to $2.9 million. On the TRC
acquisition, the Operating Partnership recorded a liability of $0.7 million and this amount will
accrete up to $2.9 million through September 2019. As of March 31, 2011, the Operating Partnership
has a balance of $1.3 million for this liability in its consolidated balance sheet.
The Operating Partnership is currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS)
for its 2004 tax year. The audit concerns the tax treatment of the TRC acquisition in September
2004 in which the Operating Partnership acquired a portfolio of properties through the acquisition
of a limited partnership. On December 17, 2010, the Operating Partnership received notice that the
IRS proposed an adjustment to the allocation of recourse liabilities allocated to the contributor
of the properties. The Operating Partnership has appealed the proposed adjustment. The proposed
adjustment, if upheld, would not result in a material tax liability for the Operating Partnership.
However, an adjustment could raise a question as to whether a contributor of partnership interests
in the 2004 transaction could assert a claim against the Operating Partnership under the tax protection
agreement entered into as part of the transaction.

Table of Contents
As part of the Operating Partnerships 2006 Prentiss merger, the 2004 TRC acquisition and several
of its other transactions, it agreed not to sell certain of the properties it acquired in
transactions that would trigger taxable income to the former owners. In the case of the TRC
acquisition, the Operating Partnership agreed not to sell acquired properties for periods up to 15
years from the date of the TRC acquisition as follows at September 30, 2010: One Rodney Square and
130/150/170 Radnor Financial Center (January 2015); and One Logan Square, Two Logan Square and
Radnor Corporate Center (January 2020). In the Prentiss acquisition, the Operating Partnership
assumed the obligation of Prentiss not to sell Concord Airport Plaza before March 2018. The
Operating Partnerships agreements generally provide that we may dispose of the subject properties
only in transactions that qualify as tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue
Code or in other tax deferred transactions. If the Operating Partnership was to sell a restricted
property before expiration of the restricted period in a non-exempt transaction, it would be
required to make significant payments to the parties who sold the applicable property to the
Operating Partnership for tax liabilities triggered to them.
As part of the Operating Partnerships acquisition of properties from time to time in tax-deferred
transactions, it has agreed to provide certain of the prior owners of the acquired properties with
the right to guarantee its indebtedness. If the Operating Partnership was to seek to repay the
indebtedness guaranteed by the prior owner before the expiration of the applicable agreement, it
will be required to provide the prior owner an opportunity to guarantee a qualifying replacement
debt. These debt maintenance agreements may limit its ability to refinance indebtedness on terms
that will be favorable to the Operating Partnership.
In connection with the development of the IRS Philadelphia Campus and the Cira South Garage, during
2008, the Operating Partnership entered into a historic tax credit and new markets tax credit
arrangement, respectively. The Operating Partnership is required to be in compliance with various
laws, regulations and contractual provisions that apply to its historic and new market tax credit
arrangements. Non-compliance with applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits
not being realized and therefore, require a refund to USB or a reduction of investor capital
contributions, which are reported as deferred income in the Operating Partnerships consolidated
balance sheet, until such time as its obligation to deliver tax benefits is relieved. The remaining
compliance periods for its tax credit arrangements runs through 2015. The Operating Partnership
does not anticipate that any material refunds or reductions of investor capital contributions will
be required in connection with these arrangements.
The Operating Partnership invests in properties and regularly incurs capital expenditures in the
ordinary course of its business to maintain the properties. The Operating Partnership believes that
such expenditures enhance its competitiveness. The Operating Partnership also enters into
construction, utility and service contracts in the ordinary course of its business which may extend
beyond one year. These contracts typically provide for cancellation with insignificant or no
cancellation penalties.
Interest Rate Risk and Sensitivity Analysis
The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of the Operating Partnerships
financial instruments to selected changes in market rates. The range of changes chosen reflects its
view of changes which are reasonably possible over a one-year period. Market values are the present
value of projected future cash flows based on the market rates chosen.
The Operating Partnerships financial instruments consist of both fixed and variable rate debt. As
of March 31, 2011, its consolidated debt consisted of $648.3 million in fixed rate mortgages, $60.0
million of variable rate mortgages, $183.0 million in an unsecured term loan, $197.0 million of
borrowings under our Credit Facility, and $1,356.3 million in unsecured notes of which $1,277.6
million are fixed rate borrowings and $78.6 million are variable rate borrowings. All financial
instruments were entered into for other than trading purposes and the net market value of these
financial instruments is referred to as the net financial position. Changes in interest rates have
different impacts on the fixed and variable rate portions of our debt portfolio. A change in
interest rates on the fixed portion of the debt portfolio impacts the net financial instrument
position, but has no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in interest rates on the
variable portion of the debt portfolio impacts the interest incurred and cash flows, but does not
impact the net financial instrument position.
As of March 31, 2011, based on prevailing interest rates and credit spreads, the fair value of the
Operating Partnerships unsecured notes was $1.4 billion. For sensitivity purposes, a 100 basis
point change in the discount rate equates to a change in the total fair value of the Operating
Partnerships debt, including the Notes, of approximately $12.7 million at March 31, 2011.
From time to time or as the need arises, the Operating Partnership uses derivative instruments to
manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative purposes. The total carrying value of
the Operating Partnerships variable rate debt was approximately $458.6 million and $444.6 million
at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The total fair value of the Operating
Partnerships debt, excluding the Notes, was approximately $446.2 million and $432.6 million at
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. For sensitivity purposes, a 100 basis point
change in the discount rate equates to a change in the total fair value of its debt, excluding the
Notes, of approximately $4.6 million at March 31, 2011, and a 100 basis point change in the
discount rate equates to a change in the total fair value of its debt of approximately $4.4 million
at December 31, 2010.
55
Table of Contents
If market rates of interest increase by 1%, the fair value of the Operating Partnerships
outstanding fixed-rate mortgage debt would decrease by approximately $32.2 million. If market rates
of interest decrease by 1%, the fair value of its outstanding fixed-rate mortgage debt would
increase by approximately $35.2 million.
At March 31, 2011, the Operating Partnerships outstanding variable rate debt based on LIBOR
totaled approximately $458.6 million. At March 31, 2011, the interest rate on its variable rate
debt was approximately 1.1%. If market interest rates on its variable rate debt were to change by
100 basis points, total interest expense would have changed by approximately $1.1 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2011.
These amounts were determined solely by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on
the Operating Partnerships financial instruments. Due to the uncertainty of specific actions it
may undertake to minimize possible effects of market interest rate increases, this analysis assumes
no changes in its financial structure.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, commodity prices and
equity prices. In pursuing the Companys business plan, the primary market risk to which it is
exposed is interest rate risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the
financial markets may affect the spread between the Companys yield on invested assets and cost of
funds and, in turn, the Companys ability to make distributions or payments to its shareholders.
While the Company has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of a significant
rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, defaults could increase and result in
losses to the Company which adversely affects its operating results and liquidity.
See Interest Rate Risk and Sensitivity Analysis in Item 2 above.
