PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The Company
Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”).
The Company completed its initial public offering in 1994 to continue and expand the commercial real estate business of Rouse & Associates, a Pennsylvania general partnership, and certain affiliated entities (collectively, the “Predecessor”) which was founded in 1972. As of December 31, 2007, the Company owned and operated 353 industrial and 296 office properties (the “Wholly Owned Properties in Operation”) totaling 62.1 million square feet. In addition, as of December 31, 2007, the Company owned 28 properties under development, which when completed are expected to comprise 4.8 million square feet (the “Wholly Owned Properties under Development”) and 1,384 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Additionally, as of December 31, 2007 the Company had an ownership interest, through unconsolidated joint ventures, in 44 industrial and 47 office properties totaling 11.5 million square feet (the “JV Properties in Operation” and, together with the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation, the “Properties in Operation”), four properties under development, which when completed are expected to comprise 527,000 square feet (the “JV Properties under Development” and, together with the Wholly Owned Properties under Development, the “Properties under Development” and, together with the Properties in Operation, the “Properties”) and 715 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use.
The Company provides leasing, property management, development and other tenant-related services for the Properties. The Company’s industrial Properties consist of a variety of warehouse, distribution, service, assembly, light manufacturing and research and development facilities. They include both single-tenant and multi-tenant facilities, with most designed flexibly to accommodate various types of tenants, space requirements and industrial uses. The Company’s office Properties are multi-story and single-story office buildings located principally in suburban mixed-use developments or office parks. Substantially all of the Company’s Properties are located in prime business locations within established business communities. However, the Company has in the past and will when appropriate acquire or develop urban properties. During 2007 an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has an interest acquired a portfolio of properties in Northern Virginia and Washington D.C. and as a consequence the Company currently owns, through its joint venture, two urban office properties in Washington, D.C. The Company, through its joint venture, anticipates additional acquisitions and/or developments in the Washington, D.C. market. In addition, the Company is completing the development of a 1.25 million square foot office tower, known as Comcast Center, in Philadelphia’s central business district.
The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 95.6% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2007. The common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (the “Common Units”), other than those owned by the Trust, are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis (subject to anti-dilution protections) for the Trust’s Common Shares of Beneficial Interest, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Shares”). The Common Units held by the limited partners were exchangeable for 4.2 million Common Shares on December 31, 2007. The Company has issued several series of Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership (the “Preferred Units”). The outstanding Preferred Units of each series are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis after stated dates into a corresponding series Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust. Collectively, the ownership of the holders of Common and Preferred Units is reflected on the Trust’s financial statements as minority interest.

Business Objective and Strategies for Growth
The Company’s business objective is to maximize long-term profitability for its shareholders by being a recognized leader in commercial real estate through the ownership, management, development and acquisition of superior office and industrial properties. The Company intends to achieve this objective through offering office and industrial properties in multiple markets and operating as a leading landlord in the industry. The Company believes that this objective will provide the benefits of enhanced investment opportunities, economies of scale, risk diversification both in terms of geographic market and real estate product type, access to capital and the ability to attract and retain personnel. The Company also strives to be a leading provider of customer service, providing an exceptional and positive customer experience. In pursuing its business objective, the Company seeks to achieve a combination of internal and external growth, maintain a conservative balance sheet and pursue a strategy of financial flexibility.
Products
The Company strives to be a recognized quality provider of five products (industrial properties, including big box warehouse, multi-tenant industrial, and flex/R&D; and office properties, including single-story office and multi-story office). When the Company’s marketing efforts identify opportunities, the Company will pursue other office and industrial product types including high rise office towers.
Markets
The Company operates primarily in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States. During 2007 the Company exited the Michigan market and entered the Phoenix, Arizona and the Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C. markets. Additionally, the Company owns certain assets in the United Kingdom. The Company’s goal is to operate in each of its markets with an appropriate product mix of office and industrial properties. However, in some markets it may offer only some of its product types. Generally, the Company seeks to have a presence in each market sufficient for the Company to be viewed as a significant participant in each market. The Company’s efforts emphasize business park development and asset aggregation. The Company gathers information from internal sources and independent third parties and analyzes this information to support its evaluation of markets and market conditions.

Organizational Plan
The Company seeks to maintain a management organization that facilitates efficient execution of the Company’s strategy. As part of this effort, the Company pursues a human resources plan designed to create and maintain a highly regarded real estate company through recruiting, training and retaining capable people. The structure is designed to support a local office entrepreneurial platform operating within a value-added corporate structure. The Company upgrades its information technology periodically to keep pace with advances in available technology.
Internal Growth Strategies
The Company seeks to maximize the profitability of its Properties by endeavoring to maintain high occupancy levels while obtaining competitive rental rates, controlling costs and focusing on customer service efforts.
Maintain High Occupancies
The Company believes that the quality and diversity of its tenant base and its strategy of operating in multiple markets is integral to achieving its goal of attaining high occupancy levels for its portfolio. The Company targets financially stable tenants in an effort to minimize uncertainty relating to the ability of the tenants to meet their lease obligations.
Cost Controls
The Company seeks to identify best practices to apply throughout the Company in order to enhance cost savings and other efficiencies. The Company also employs an annual capital improvement and preventative maintenance program designed to reduce the operating costs of the Properties in Operation and maintain the long-term value of the Properties in Operation.
Customer Service
The Company seeks to achieve high tenant retention through a comprehensive customer service program, which is designed to provide an exceptional and positive customer experience. The customer service program establishes best practices and provides an appropriate customer feedback process. The Company believes that the program has been helpful in increasing customer satisfaction.
Energy Efficiency Initiatives
The Company is committed to improving the energy efficiency of the existing buildings in its portfolio and has made a substantial effort to design environmentally friendly features in the buildings it develops.
The Company has been an active participant in the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (“LEED”) program. The LEED program, which was created to recognize environmental leadership in the building industry, establishes a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. The Company currently has over five million square feet of LEED projects completed or under construction, including the 1.25 million square foot Comcast Center.
The Company believes that building in accordance with LEED standards is environmentally responsible and can lead to significant operating efficiencies. The Company believes that green building techniques such as construction waste management (recycling waste onsite); energy conservation (occupancy sensors associated with lighting and high performance HVAC systems); and improvement of environmental quality (maximization of daylight and use of low-emitting materials) can result in positive environmental results and significant economic returns to tenants in terms of savings in operating costs and improved employee performance.
The Company has also taken significant steps to improve the energy efficiency of the existing buildings in the portfolio. These efforts have included, in various cases: (1) performing lighting retrofits to upgrade older fluorescent bulbs with magnetic ballasts with newer bulbs utilizing electronic ballasts; (2) installing and upgrading building automation systems to provide a greater level of control in order to reduce energy consumed; (3) installing white roof systems designed to lower thermal heat gains associated with traditional black roof surfaces; (4) installing “economizer” fresh air units that allow cooling from outside fresh air on cooler days; (5) implementing common area and parking lot lighting controls designed to increase energy efficiency; and (6) establishing and implementing a green property management guide and green training program for its property management staff.
The Company intends to continue to explore methods of enhancing the performance of the buildings in its existing portfolio.
External Growth Strategies
The Company seeks to enhance its long-term profitability through the development, acquisition and disposition of properties either directly or through joint ventures. The Company also considers acquisitions at an entity level.

Wholly Owned Properties
Development
The Company pursues attractive development opportunities, focusing primarily on high-quality suburban industrial and office properties within its existing markets. When the Company’s marketing efforts identify opportunities, the Company will consider pursuing opportunities outside of the Company’s established markets. The Company and its Predecessor have developed over 55 million square feet of commercial real estate during the past 35 years. The Company’s development activities generally fall into two categories: build-to-suit projects and projects built for inventory (projects that are less than 75% leased prior to commencement of construction). The Company develops build-to-suit projects for existing and new tenants. The Company also builds properties for inventory where the Company has identified sufficient demand at market rental rates to justify such construction.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company completed seven build-to-suit projects and 18 inventory projects totaling 4.2 million square feet and representing an aggregate Total Investment, as defined below, of $398.5 million. As of December 31, 2007, these completed development properties were 90.4% leased. Additionally, 947,000 square feet of Comcast Center representing $370.9 million of Total Investment was brought into service. The “Total Investment” for a Property is defined as the Property’s purchase price plus closing costs and management’s estimate, as determined at the time of acquisition, of the cost of necessary building improvements in the case of acquisitions, or land costs and land and building improvement costs in the case of development projects, and, where appropriate, other development costs and carrying costs.
As of December 31, 2007 the Company had 27 Wholly Owned Properties under Development, excluding Comcast Center, which are expected to comprise, upon completion, 4.5 million square feet and are expected to represent a Total Investment of $383.1 million. These Wholly Owned Properties under Development were 11.4% pre-leased as of December 31, 2007. The scheduled deliveries of the 4.5 million square feet of Wholly Owned Properties under Development are as follows (in thousands, except percentages):
                                                 
    Square Feet     Percent Leased     Total

In addition to the above Wholly Owned Properties under Development, the Company is completing the construction of Comcast Center, a 1.25 million square foot office tower in Philadelphia’s central business district. Comcast’s lease is for 1.1 million square feet and is for 15 1/2 years. As of December 31, 2007, 300,000 square feet of Comcast Center equaling $124.1 million of Total Investment are included in development in progress. As of December 31, 2007, the building is 97.8% leased. The Comcast Center, which is owned by a joint venture between the Company and an affiliate of Commerzleasing und ImmobilienAG, a wholly owned subsidiary of Commerzbank AG, will upon completion and the satisfaction of certain criteria for sale recognition be reported as a JV Property in Operation. Currently, Comcast Center is included as a Wholly Owned Property under Development and a Wholly Owned Property in Operation, as it was partially brought into service during 2007.
The Company believes that, because it is a fully integrated real estate firm, its base of commercially zoned land in existing industrial and office business parks provides a competitive advantage for future development activities. As of December 31, 2007, the Company owned 1,384 acres of land held for development, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Substantially all of the land is located adjacent to or within existing industrial or business parks with site improvements, such as public sewers, water and utilities, available for service. The Company anticipates that its land holdings would support, as and when developed, 14.1 million square feet of property. The Company’s investment in land held for development as of December 31, 2007 was $247.1 million.
Through a development agreement with Kent County Council, the Company develops commercial buildings in the County of Kent, England and the Company receives a portion of the proceeds from the sale of land parcels to homebuilders. The Company has planning consent for the development of 1.2 million square feet of commercial space and for 750 residential units.

Acquisitions/Dispositions
The Company seeks to acquire properties consistent with its business objectives and strategies. The Company executes its acquisition strategy by purchasing properties that management believes will create shareholder value over the long-term.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company acquired 23 properties comprising 3.0 million square feet for a Total Investment of $316.6 million.
The Company disposes of properties and land held for development that no longer fit within the Company’s strategic plan, or with respect to which the Company believes it can optimize cash proceeds. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company sold 70 operating properties, which contained 5.2 million square feet, and 166 acres of land, for aggregate proceeds of $386.4 million. A substantial portion of the properties sold during this period were in the Michigan market, which was formerly in the Midwest segment.
Joint Venture Properties
The Company, from time to time, considers joint venture opportunities with institutional investors or other real estate companies. Joint venture partnerships provide the Company with additional sources of capital to share investment risk and fund capital requirements. In some instances, joint venture partnerships provide the Company with additional local market or product type expertise. During 2007, the Company entered into two new joint ventures.
On September 10, 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture with Doughty Hanson & Company Real Estate to acquire Blythe Valley Park, West Midlands, UK for $325 million. The park consists of 491,000 square feet of office space and 98 acres of developable land. The Company has a 20% interest in the joint venture.
On October 4, 2007, the Company acquired Republic Property Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust, and Republic Property Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership and Republic’s operating partnership (together, “Republic”) for $913 million. The acquisition of Republic was completed through the merger of Republic with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the merger of Republic’s operating partnership with the Company’s Operating Partnership. Republic operated a portfolio consisting of 2.4 million square feet of office space, six acres of developable land, and a redevelopment property that, when completed, is expected to contain an additional 176,000 square feet of office space in the Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. markets.
Concurrently, the Company formed a joint venture with New York State Common Retirement Fund to own and manage the Republic portfolio. The joint venture, in which the Company holds a 25% interest, purchased the Republic real estate assets for $900 million as well as fees from the joint venture for services it provides. The services include property management, leasing, development and administration. The Company may also receive a promoted interest if certain return thresholds are met. The acquisition of Republic resulted in the Company recording $13 million in goodwill and other intangibles.
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures totaling $278.4 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest completed two build-to-suit projects and one inventory project totaling 1.1 million square feet and representing a Total Investment of $53.4 million. As of December 31, 2007, these completed development properties were 100% leased. In addition, unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has an interest had four JV Properties under Development at December 31, 2007 which are expected to comprise, upon completion, 527,000 leaseable square feet and are expected to represent a Total Investment of $170.3 million. These JV Properties under Development were 17.4% leased as of December 31, 2007.
As of December 31, 2007, unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has an interest owned 715 acres of land held for development, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Substantially all of the land is located adjacent to or within existing industrial or business parks with site improvements, such as public sewers, water and utilities, available for service. The Company anticipates that its joint venture land holdings would support, as and when developed, 7.1 million square feet of property.
Acquisitions/Dispositions
During the year ended December 31, 2007, an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has an interest acquired four properties comprising 1.2 million square feet for $70.6 million.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company’s results of operations and the ability to make distributions to our shareholders and pay debt service on our indebtedness may be affected by the risk factors set forth below. (The Company refers to itself as “we”, “us” or “our” in the following risk factors.) This section contains some forward looking statements. You should refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements on page 4.
Risks Related to Our Business
Unfavorable events affecting our existing tenants, or negative market conditions that may affect our existing tenants, could have an adverse impact on our ability to attract new tenants, relet space, collect rent or renew leases, and thus could have a negative effect on our cash flow from operations and inhibit growth.
Our cash flow from operations depends on our ability to lease space to tenants on economically favorable terms. Therefore, we could be adversely affected by various facts and events over which we have limited control, such as:
    lack of demand for space in the areas where our Properties are located
 
    inability to retain existing tenants and attract new tenants
 
    oversupply of or reduced demand for space and changes in market rental rates
 
    defaults by our tenants or their failure to pay rent on a timely basis
 
    the need to periodically renovate and repair our space
 
    physical damage to our Properties
 
    economic or physical decline of the areas where our Properties are located
 
    potential risk of functional obsolescence of our Properties over time
At any time, any of our tenants may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its financial condition. As a result, a tenant may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend a lease upon its expiration, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy. Any tenant bankruptcy or insolvency, leasing delay or failure to make rental payments when due could result in the termination of the tenant’s lease and material losses to our Company.
If our tenants do not renew their leases as they expire, we may not be able to rent the space. Furthermore, leases that are renewed, and some new leases for space that is relet, may have terms that are less economically favorable to us than current lease terms, or may require us to incur significant costs, such as for renovations, tenant improvements or lease transaction costs.
Any of these events could adversely affect our cash flow from operations and our ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders and service our indebtedness.
A significant portion of our costs, such as real estate taxes, insurance costs, and debt service payments, generally are not reduced when circumstances cause a decrease in cash flow from our Properties.
We may not be able to compete successfully with other entities that operate in our industry.
We experience a great deal of competition in attracting tenants for our Properties and in locating land to develop and properties to acquire.
In our effort to lease our Properties, we compete for tenants with a broad spectrum of other landlords in each of our markets. These competitors include, among others, publicly-held REITs, privately-held entities, individual property owners and tenants who wish to sublease their space. Some of these competitors may be able to offer prospective tenants more attractive financial or other terms than we are able to offer.
We may experience increased operating costs, which could adversely affect our operations.
Our Properties are subject to increases in operating expenses such as insurance, cleaning, electricity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, general and administrative costs and other costs associated with security, landscaping, repairs and maintenance. While our current tenants generally are obligated to pay a significant portion of these costs, there is no assurance that these tenants will make such payments or agree to pay these costs upon renewal or that new tenants will agree to pay these costs. If operating expenses increase in our markets, we may not be able to increase rents or reimbursements in all of these markets so as to meet increased expenses without at the

same time decreasing occupancy rates. If this occurs, our ability to make distributions to shareholders and service our indebtedness could be adversely affected.
Our ability to achieve growth in operating income depends in part on our ability to develop properties, which may suffer under certain circumstances.
We intend to continue to develop properties where warranted by market conditions. We have a number of ongoing development projects and a number of land projects being readied for development.
Additionally, our general construction and development activities include the risks that:
    construction and leasing of a property may not be completed on schedule, which could result in increased expenses and construction costs, and would result in reduced profitability
 
    construction costs may exceed our original estimates due to increases in interest rates and increased materials, labor or other costs, possibly making the property unprofitable because we may not be able to increase rents to compensate for the increase in construction costs
 
    some developments may fail to achieve expectations, possibly making them unprofitable
 
    we may be unable to obtain, or may face delays in obtaining, required zoning, land-use, building, occupancy, and other governmental permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs and could require us to abandon our activities entirely with respect to a project
 
    we may abandon development opportunities after we begin to explore them and as a result, we may fail to recover costs already incurred. If we alter or discontinue our development efforts, past and future costs of the investment may need to be expensed rather than capitalized and we may determine the investment is impaired, resulting in a loss
 
    we may expend funds on and devote management’s time to projects that we do not complete
 
    occupancy rates and rents at newly completed properties may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, and may result in lower than projected rental rates with the result that our investment is not profitable
We face risks associated with property acquisitions.
We acquire individual properties and portfolios of properties, in some cases through the acquisition of operating entities, and intend to continue to do so. Our acquisition activities and their success are subject to the following risks:
    when we are able to locate a desirable property, competition from other real estate investors may significantly increase the purchase price
 
    acquired properties may fail to perform as expected
 
    the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than our estimates
 
    acquired properties may be located in new markets where we face risks associated with an incomplete knowledge or understanding of the local market, a limited number of established business relationships in the area and a relative unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures
 
    we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties and operating entities, into our existing operations, and as a result, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected
We may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities. As a result, if a liability were asserted against us based upon ownership of those properties, we might have to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our cash flow.
Many of our Properties are concentrated in our primary markets, and we therefore may suffer economic harm as a result of adverse conditions in those markets.
Our Properties are located principally in specific geographic areas. Due to the concentration of our Properties in these areas, performance is dependent on economic conditions in these areas. These areas have experienced periods of economic decline.
Certain of the Company’s tenants are engaged in various aspects of the residential mortgage industry, which is currently experiencing a dramatic downturn, and therefore, we may suffer economic harm if this downturn weakens these tenants’ financial condition.
Approximately three percent of our tenants are engaged in various aspects of the residential mortgage industry. The residential mortgage industry is currently experiencing a dramatic downturn. This downturn may weaken a tenant’s financial condition. As a result, a tenant may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend a lease upon its expiration, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy. Any tenant bankruptcy or

insolvency, leasing delay or failure to make payments when due could result in the termination of a tenant’s lease and material losses to the Company.
We may not be able to access financial markets to obtain capital on a timely basis, or on acceptable terms.
In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to shareholders each year, and thus cannot reinvest this portion of income in the business. As a result, we rely on proceeds from property dispositions and third party capital sources for a portion of our capital needs, including capital for acquisitions and development. The public debt and equity markets are among the sources we rely on. There is no guarantee that we will be able to access these markets, or any other source of capital, on attractive terms or at all. The ability to access the public debt and equity markets depends on a variety of factors, including:
    general economic conditions affecting these markets
 
    our own financial structure and performance
 
    the market’s opinion of REITs in general
 
    the market’s opinion of REITs that own properties similar to ours
We may suffer adverse effects as a result of the terms of and covenants relating to our indebtedness.
Required payments on our indebtedness generally are not reduced if the economic performance of the portfolio declines. If the economic performance declines, net income, cash flow from operations and cash available for distribution to shareholders will be reduced. If payments on debt cannot be made, we could sustain a loss, or in the case of mortgages, suffer foreclosures by mortgagees or suffer judgments. Further, some obligations, including our $600 million credit facility and $2.2 billion in unsecured notes issued in past public offerings, contain cross-default and/or cross-acceleration provisions, as does $42.0 million in outstanding mortgage indebtedness at December 31, 2007, which means that a default on one obligation may constitute a default on other obligations.
We anticipate that only a small portion of the principal of our debt will be repaid prior to maturity. Therefore, we generally need to refinance our outstanding debt as it matures. There is a risk that we may not be able to refinance existing debt or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of our existing debt. If principal payments due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended or repaid with proceeds from other sources, such as the proceeds of sales of assets or new equity securities, our cash flow will not be sufficient to repay all maturing debt in years when significant “balloon” payments come due.
Our credit facility and unsecured debt securities contain customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our 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 we must maintain. Our continued ability to borrow under our $600 million credit facility is subject to compliance with our financial and other covenants. In addition, our failure to comply with such covenants could cause a default under this credit facility, and we may then be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us, or be available only on unattractive terms.
Our degree of leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional financing or affect the market price of our common stock.
Our degree of leverage could affect our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes. Our senior unsecured debt is currently rated investment grade by the three major rating agencies. However, there can be no assurance we will be able to maintain this rating, and in the event our senior debt is downgraded from its current rating, we would likely incur higher borrowing costs. Our degree of leverage could also make us more vulnerable to a downturn in business or the economy generally.
Further issuances of equity securities may be dilutive to current shareholders.
The interests of our existing shareholders could be diluted if we issue additional equity securities to finance future developments, acquisitions, or repay indebtedness. Our Board of Trustees can authorize the issuance of additional securities without shareholder approval. Our ability to execute our business strategy depends on our access to an appropriate blend of debt financing, including unsecured lines of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt, and equity financing, including issuances of common and preferred equity.
An increase in interest rates would increase our interest costs on variable rate debt and could adversely impact our ability to refinance existing debt.
We currently have, and may incur more, indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, if interest rates increase, so will our interest costs, which would adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to pay principal

11


Table of Contents

and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders. Further, rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance existing debt when it matures.
Property ownership through joint ventures will limit our ability to act exclusively in our interests.
From time to time we invest in joint ventures in which we do not hold a controlling interest. These investments involve risks that do not exist with properties in which we own a controlling interest, including the possibility that our partners may, at any time, have business, economic or other objectives that are inconsistent with our objectives. In instances where we lack a controlling interest, our partners may be in a position to require action that is contrary to our objectives. While we seek to negotiate the terms of these joint ventures in a way that secures our ability to act in our best interests, there can be no assurance that those terms will be sufficient to fully protect us against actions contrary to our interests. If the objectives of our co-ventures are inconsistent with ours, we may not in every case be able to act exclusively in our interests.
Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry
Real estate investments are illiquid, and we may not be able to sell our Properties if and when we determine it is appropriate to do so.
Real estate generally cannot be sold quickly. We may not be able to dispose of Properties promptly in response to economic or other conditions. In addition, provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) limit a REIT’s ability to sell properties in some situations when it may be economically advantageous to do so, thereby adversely affecting returns to shareholders and adversely impacting our ability to meet our obligations to the holders of other securities.
We may experience economic harm if any damage to our Properties is not covered by insurance.
We believe all of our Properties are adequately insured. However, we cannot guarantee that the limits of our current policies will be sufficient in the event of a catastrophe to our Properties. Our existing property and liability policies expire during 2008. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to renew or duplicate our current coverages in adequate amounts or at reasonable prices.
We may suffer losses that are not covered under our comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance policies. For example, we may not be insured for losses resulting from acts of war, certain acts of terrorism, or from environmental liabilities. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits should occur, we would nevertheless remain liable for the loss which could adversely affect cash flow from operations.
Potential liability for environmental contamination could result in substantial costs.
Under federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be required to investigate and clean up the effects of releases of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products at our Properties simply because of our current or past ownership or operation of the real estate. If unidentified environmental problems arise, we may have to make substantial payments which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders because:
    as owner or operator, we may have to pay for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred in connection with the contamination
 
    the law typically imposes clean-up responsibility and liability regardless of whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the contamination
 
    even if more than one person may be responsible for the contamination, each person who shares legal liability under the environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs
 
    governmental entities and third parties may sue the owner or operator of a contaminated site for damages and costs
These costs could be substantial. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products or the failure to properly remediate contamination may materially and adversely affect our ability to borrow against, sell or rent an affected property. In addition, applicable environmental laws create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with a contamination. Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing at our Properties may result in significant unanticipated expenditures.
It is our policy to retain independent environmental consultants to conduct Phase I environmental site assessments and asbestos surveys with respect to our acquisition of properties. These assessments generally include a visual inspection of the properties and the surrounding areas, an examination of current and historical uses of the properties and the surrounding areas and a review of relevant state, federal and historical documents, but do not involve invasive

12


Table of Contents

techniques such as soil and ground water sampling. Where appropriate, on a property-by-property basis, our practice is to have these consultants conduct additional testing, including sampling for asbestos, for lead in drinking water, for soil contamination where underground storage tanks are or were located or where other past site usages create a potential environmental problem, and for contamination in groundwater. Even though these environmental assessments are conducted, there is still the risk that:
    the environmental assessments and updates will not identify all potential environmental liabilities
 
    a prior owner created a material environmental condition that is not known to us or the independent consultants preparing the assessments
 
    new environmental liabilities have developed since the environmental assessments were conducted
 
    future uses or conditions such as changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations could result in environmental liability for us
While we test indoor air quality on a regular basis and have an ongoing maintenance program in place to address this aspect of property operations, inquiries about indoor air quality may necessitate special investigation and, depending on the results, remediation. Indoor air quality issues can stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contaminants from indoor or outdoor sources, pollen, viruses and bacteria. Indoor exposure to chemical or biological contaminants above certain levels can be alleged to be connected to allergic reactions or other health effects and symptoms in susceptible individuals. If these conditions were to occur at one of our Properties, we may need to undertake a targeted remediation program, including without limitation, steps to increase indoor ventilation rates and eliminate sources of contaminants. Such remediation programs could be costly, necessitate the temporary relocation of some or all of the Property’s tenants or require rehabilitation of the affected Property.
Our Properties may contain or develop harmful mold, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediating the problem.
When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing as exposure to mold may cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold at any of our Properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold from the affected Property. In addition, the presence of significant mold could expose us to liability from our tenants, employees of our tenants and others if property damage or health concerns arise.
Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make expenditures that adversely impact our operating results.
All of our Properties are required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). The ADA generally requires that buildings be made accessible to people with disabilities. Compliance with the ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers, and non-compliance could result in imposition of fines by the United States government or an award of damages to private litigants, or both. Expenditures related to complying with the provisions of the ADA could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and our ability to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, we are required to operate our Properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our Properties. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with those requirements and these expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition, as well as our ability to make distributions to shareholders.
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely impact our operating results and may affect markets on which our securities are traded.
Terrorist attacks against our Properties, or against the United States or United States interests generally, may negatively affect our operations and investments in our securities. Attacks or armed conflicts could have a direct adverse impact on our Properties or operations through damage, destruction, loss or increased security costs. Any terrorism insurance that we obtain may be insufficient to cover the loss for damages to our Properties as a result of terrorist attacks.
Furthermore, any terrorist attacks or armed conflicts could result in increased volatility in or damage to the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy. Adverse economic conditions could affect the ability of our tenants to pay rent, which could have an adverse impact on our operating results.

Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
We have elected REIT status under the federal tax laws, and could suffer adverse consequences if we fail to qualify as a REIT.
We have elected REIT status under federal tax laws and have taken the steps known to us to perfect that status, but we cannot be certain that we qualify, or that we will remain qualified. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Code, as to which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. The complexity of these provisions and of the related income tax regulations is greater in the case of a REIT that holds its assets in partnership form, as we do. Moreover, no assurance can be given that new tax laws will not significantly affect our qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification. New laws could be applied retroactively, which means that past operations could be found to be in violation, which would have a negative effect on the business.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the distributions to shareholders would not be deductible when computing taxable income. If this happened, we would be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Also, we could be prevented from qualifying as a REIT for the four years following the year in which we were disqualified. Further, if we requalified as a REIT after failing to qualify, we might have to pay the full corporate-level tax on any unrealized gain in our assets during the period we were not qualified as a REIT. We would then have to distribute to our shareholders the earnings we accumulated while we were not qualified as a REIT. These additional taxes would reduce our funds available for distribution to our shareholders. In addition, while we were disqualified as a REIT, we would not be required by the Code to make distributions to our shareholders. A failure by the Company to qualify as a REIT and the resulting requirement to pay taxes and interest (and perhaps penalties) would cause us to default under various agreements to which we are a party, including under our credit facility, and would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, earnings, financial condition and our ability to make distributions to shareholders.
Future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may lead our Board of Trustees to authorize the revocation of our election to qualify as a REIT. A revocation of our REIT status would require the consent of the holders of a majority of the voting interests of all of our outstanding Common Shares.
Risks associated with potential borrowings necessary to make distributions to qualify as a REIT.
We intend to make distributions to shareholders to comply with the distribution provisions of the Code necessary to maintain qualification as a REIT and to avoid income taxes and the non-deductible excise tax. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to borrow funds to meet the distribution requirements necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT. In such circumstances, we might need to borrow funds to avoid adverse tax consequences, even if our management believes that the prevailing market conditions are not generally favorable for such borrowings or that such borrowings would not be advisable in the absence of such tax considerations.
Certain officers of the Trust may not have the same interests as shareholders as to certain tax laws.
Certain officers of the Trust own Common Units. These units may be exchanged for our Common Shares. The officers who own those units and have not yet exchanged them for our Common Shares may suffer different and more adverse tax consequences than holders of our Common Shares suffer in certain situations:
    when certain of our Properties are sold
 
    when debt on those Properties is refinanced
 
    if we are involved in a tender offer or merger
Because these officers own units and face different consequences than shareholders do, the Trust and those officers may have different objectives as to these transactions than shareholders do.
Certain aspects of our organization could have the effect of restricting or preventing a change of control of our Company, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our shares.
Our charter contains an ownership limit on shares. To qualify as a REIT, five or fewer individuals cannot own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest. To this end, our Declaration of Trust, among other things, generally prohibits any holder of the Trust’s shares from owning more than 5% of the Trust’s outstanding shares of beneficial interest, unless that holder gets the consent from the Board of Trustees. This limitation could prevent the acquisition of control of the Company by a third party without the consent from the Board of Trustees.

14


Table of Contents

We have a staggered board and certain restrictive nominating procedures. The Board of Trustees has three classes of trustees. The term of office of one class expires each year. Trustees for each class are elected for three-year terms as that class’ term expires. The terms of the Class II, Class III, and Class I trustees expire in 2008, 2009, and 2010, respectively. Any nominee for trustee must be selected under the nominating provisions contained in our Declaration of Trust and By-Laws. The staggered terms for trustees and the nominating procedures may affect shareholders’ ability to take control of the Company, even if a change in control were in the shareholders’ interest.
We can issue preferred shares. Our Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to establish the preferences and rights of any shares issued. The issuance of preferred shares could have the effect of delaying, making more difficult or preventing a change of control of the Company, even if a change in control were in the shareholder’s interest.
There are limitations on acquisition of and changes in control pursuant to, and fiduciary protections of The Board under Maryland law. The Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”) contains provisions which are applicable to the Trust as if the Trust were a corporation. Among these provisions is a section, referred to as the “control share acquisition statute,” which eliminates the voting rights of shares acquired in quantities so as to constitute “control shares,” as defined under the MGCL. The MGCL also contains provisions applicable to us that are referred to as the “business combination statute,” which would generally limit business combinations between the Company and any 10% owners of the Trust’s shares or any affiliate thereof. Further, Maryland law provides broad discretion to the Board with respect to its fiduciary duties in considering a change in control of our Company, including that the Board is subject to no greater level of scrutiny in considering a change in control transaction than with respect to any other act by the Board. Finally, the “unsolicited takeovers” provisions of the MGCL permit the Board, without shareholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our Declaration of Trust or By-Laws, to implement takeover defenses that our Company does not yet have, including: permitting only the Board to fix the size of the Board and permitting only the Board to fill a vacancy on the Board. All of these provisions may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making an acquisition proposal for our Company or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of Common Shares with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then current market price.
Various factors out of our control could hurt the market value of our publicly traded securities.
General market conditions could worsen. The value of our publicly traded securities depends on various market conditions, which may change from time to time. In addition to general economic and market conditions and our particular financial condition and performance, the value of our publicly traded securities could be affected by, among other things, the extent of institutional investor interest in us and the market’s opinion of REITs in general and, in particular, REITs that own and operate properties similar to ours.
The market value of the equity securities of a REIT may be based primarily upon the market’s perception of the REITs growth potential and its current and future cash distributions, and may be secondarily based upon the real estate market value of the underlying assets. The failure to meet the market’s expectations with regard to future earnings and cash distributions likely would adversely affect the market price of publicly traded securities.
Rising market interest rates could make an investment in publicly traded securities less attractive. If market interest rates increase, purchasers of publicly traded securities may demand a higher annual yield on the price they pay for their securities. This could adversely affect the market price of publicly traded securities.
We no longer have a Shareholder Rights Plan but are not precluded from adopting one.
Our shareholder rights plan expired in accordance with its terms on December 31, 2007. While we did not extend or renew the plan, we are not prohibited from adopting, without shareholder approval, a shareholder rights plan that may discourage any potential acquirer from acquiring more than a specific percentage of our outstanding common shares since, upon this type of acquisition without approval of our board of trustees, all other common shareholders would have the right to purchase a specified amount of common shares at a substantial discount from market price.
Transactions by the Trust or the Operating Partnership could adversely affect debt holders.
Except with respect to several covenants limiting the incurrence of indebtedness and a covenant requiring the Operating Partnership to maintain a certain unencumbered total asset value, our indentures do not contain any additional provisions that would protect holders of the Operating Partnership’s debt securities in the event of (i) a highly leveraged transaction involving the Operating Partnership, (ii) a change of control or (iii) certain reorganizations, restructurings, mergers or similar transactions involving the Operating Partnership or the Trust.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company has been substituted for Republic as a party to certain litigation as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Republic on October 4, 2007. The litigation is summarized below. The litigation arises out of a dispute between Republic and certain parties, two of whom were members of Republic’s Board of Trustees and “founders” of Republic. The dispute includes claims arising from the termination of a development arrangement in West Palm Beach, Florida and an attempt by Republic to acquire a certain office property from an entity controlled by the aforementioned related parties pursuant to an option agreement entered into at the time of Republic’s formation.
On November 17, 2006, Republic disclosed in a Form 8-K that Steven A. Grigg, its President and Chief Development Officer, had notified it that he was terminating his employment, purportedly for “good reason,” as such term is defined in his employment agreement, dated December 20, 2005. Mr. Grigg also asserted that, as a result of such termination, he was entitled to the severance payments provided for under the terms of the employment agreement. The cash portion of such severance payments could be valued at up to approximately $1.8 million. The Company disagrees with Mr. Grigg that there is a basis for termination by Mr. Grigg for good reason; therefore, we believe that Mr. Grigg terminated his employment without good reason as of November 13, 2006, the date of his termination letter. Accordingly, we believe that no severance payments are due and we have not remitted any such payments to Mr. Grigg under the terms of his employment agreement.
On December 22, 2006, Mr. Grigg filed a lawsuit against Republic in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Mr. Grigg alleges, among other things, that (i) Republic breached his employment agreement, (ii) Republic breached its duties of good faith and fair dealing and (iii) the Noncompetition Agreement dated December 20, 2005 between Mr. Grigg and Republic is unenforceable and void. Mr. Grigg seeks, among other remedies, (i) the severance payment allegedly due under the employment agreement, (ii) other damages in an amount to be finally determined at trial and (iii) the voiding of the Noncompetition Agreement. The Company believes that Mr. Grigg’s lawsuit is without merit, generally denies the allegations in the complaint and denies that Mr. Grigg is entitled to any of the relief sought in his complaint. Republic originally asserted various counterclaims against Mr. Grigg, including claims for common law fraud, state securities fraud, breach of his employment agreement, breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment. Republic subsequently voluntarily dismissed without prejudice its common law fraud, state securities fraud and unjust enrichment claims in order to pursue those claims in the litigation described below pending in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The Company’s counterclaims against Mr. Grigg for breach of his employment agreement and breach of his fiduciary duties remain pending in the District of Columbia Superior Court litigation. On March 30, 2007, the Court denied, in its entirety, Mr. Grigg’s motion to dismiss these counterclaims. The Company seeks damages and other appropriate relief on these counterclaims.
On March 6, 2007, Mr. Richard Kramer, Republic’s former Non-executive Chairman of the Board, filed a lawsuit against Republic in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland Southern Division, in which he seeks advancement for legal fees incurred by him purportedly in connection with an independent counsel’s investigation with respect to certain matters involving Republic’s course of dealing in a West Palm Beach development project, as well as those fees incurred in filing and prosecuting this lawsuit. On May 3, 2007, Mr. Kramer voluntarily dismissed this case, and filed an almost identical lawsuit against Republic in the Circuit Court of Baltimore County, Maryland. We believe that Mr. Kramer’s lawsuit is without merit and filed a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, motion for summary judgment, seeking the dismissal of Mr. Kramer’s lawsuit. Mr. Kramer filed a motion for summary judgment against the Company. On November 2, 2007 the Court denied Mr. Kramer’s motion for summary judgment and granted the Company’s motion to dismiss. Mr. Kramer has appealed the Court’s judgment.
On March 28, 2007, Republic filed a lawsuit against Messrs. Kramer and Grigg and Republic Properties Corporation in the United States District Court of the District of Columbia. This lawsuit asserts, among other things, claims against (i) all three defendants for (a) federal and state securities fraud and (b) common law fraud; (ii) Messrs. Kramer and Grigg for (a) federal and state control person liability and (b) unjust enrichment; and (iii) Republic Properties Corporation for (a) breach of contract and (b) indemnification. The Company seeks, among other remedies, (i) damages in an amount not less than $1.2 million, the approximate value (at the time of issuance) of the partnership units issued by Republic Property Limited Partnership to Republic Properties Corporation in connection with the West Palm Beach City Center Development Contribution Agreement, (ii) additional damages incurred by us as a result of the termination of the West Palm Beach Professional Services Agreement, (iii) recovery of the costs, including attorneys fees, associated with a previously-disclosed independent investigation, (iv) reimbursement for Republic’s expenses in this litigation, including attorneys’ fees, and (v) other damages, including punitive damages, in an amount to be finally determined at trial. On April 27, 2007, Republic filed an Amended Complaint in the District of Columbia District Court action, adding to the claims set forth immediately above a claim for declaratory judgment that Mr. Kramer was not entitled to advancement or reimbursement of any of the fees

sought in his Maryland litigation. Republic Property Corporation, Messrs. Kramer and Grigg have filed motions to dismiss this lawsuit, which are currently pending.
On May 21, 2007, Republic proffered a lease (the “Lease”) to 25 Massachusetts Avenue Property LLC (the “Owner”) for certain space in Republic Square I, an office building in Washington, D.C. (the “Option Property”). Two of Republic’s founders and Trustees, Richard L. Kramer and Steven A. Grigg, currently control the Owner and Mark R. Keller, Republic’s former Chief Executive Officer, holds an ownership interest in the Owner. Based on information provided by the Owner, immediately prior to the proffer of the Lease, approximately 50% of the Option Property’s net rentable area was under lease and approximately 37% of the Option Property’s net rentable area was rent paying space. Had the Owner accepted the Lease, more than 85% of the space in the Option Property would have been rent paying space. The base rents and other material terms of the Lease proffer were based on the Owner’s lease up projections for the Property and the Lease was on the Owner’s form lease agreement.
On May 22, 2007, the Owner rejected the proffer of the Lease, asserting, among other things, that it was “not a bona fide business proposal for Republic’s own occupancy and leasing of space”. On May 29, 2007, Republic (i) re-tendered the Lease to the Owner for certain space at the Option Property and (ii) exercised its exclusive option to purchase the fee interest in the Option Property pursuant to the Option Agreement among the Owner, 660 North Capitol Street Property LLC and Republic dated as of November 28, 2005 (the “Option Agreement”). On May 30, 2007, the Owner rejected the Lease and claimed that “there has been no effective exercise of the Option.” The Company believes that the Lease was properly tendered for an appropriate purpose and, accordingly, the Company re-proffered the Lease to the Owner. The Owner rejected the Lease proffer and disputed whether the Lease entitled Republic to purchase the Property, pursuant to its exercise of the option, at the Purchase Price (as defined in the Option Agreement).
In response to the Owner’s rejection, on June 15, 2007, Republic filed a lawsuit against the Owner in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. This lawsuit asserts, among other things, that (i) by refusing to accept Republic’s option exercise the Owner has breached the Option Agreement and (ii) by deciding not to refinance a construction loan on the Property and rejecting the Lease, the Owner has breached the covenant of good faith and fair dealing implied in every contract governed by the laws of the District of Columbia. Republic sought, among other remedies, to obtain (I) an injunction against the Owner’s sale of the Option Property to any party other than Republic, (II) a declaration that the Lease and option exercise are effective and (III) an order that the Owner specifically perform its obligation to sell the Option Property to Republic pursuant to the Option Agreement. Also on June 15, 2007, Republic filed a Notice of Pendency of Action (Lis Pendens) in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia, in order to record Republic’s interest in the Option Property as reflected in the Delaware Chancery Court action. On July 2, 2007, the Owner answered the complaint and counterclaimed, seeking monetary damages related to the Owner’s purported attempts to sell the Option Property to a third party. The matter has been tried, the parties have filed post trial briefs and post trial arguments have been held. At this point, the outcome of the lawsuit is uncertain. However, it seems unlikely that the Company will have the opportunity to purchase the Option Property.
While management currently believes that resolving these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position or our results of operations, the litigation noted above is subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial position and the results of operations for the period in which the effect becomes capable of being reasonably estimated.

Although the Company currently anticipates that comparable cash dividends will continue to be paid in the future, the payment of future dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Board of Trustees and will depend on numerous factors including the Company’s cash flow, its financial condition, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and such other factors as the Board of Trustees deems relevant.

(3)   The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has issued a standard definition for Funds from operations (as defined below). The Securities and Exchange Commission has agreed to the disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure on a per share basis in its Release No. 34-47226, Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Company believes that the calculation of Funds from operations is helpful to investors and management as it is a measure of the Company’s operating performance that excludes depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions. As a result, year over year comparison of Funds from operations reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that Funds from operations provides useful information to the investment community about the Company’s financial performance when compared to other REITs since Funds from operations is generally recognized as the standard for reporting the operating performance of a REIT. Funds from operations available to common shareholders is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations available to common shareholders does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate that cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Funds from operations available to common shareholders also does not represent cash flows generated from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP. A reconciliation of Funds from operations to net income may be found on page 36.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, collectively with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”).
The Company operates primarily in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States. During 2007 the Company exited the Michigan market and entered the Phoenix, Arizona and the Northern Virginia / Washington, D.C. markets. Additionally, the Company owns certain assets in the United Kingdom.
As of December 31, 2007, the Company owned and operated 353 industrial and 296 office properties (the “Wholly Owned Properties in Operation”) totaling 62.1 million square feet. In addition, as of December 31, 2007, the Company owned 28 properties under development, which when completed are expected to comprise 4.8 million square feet (the “Wholly Owned Properties under Development”) and 1,384 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Additionally, as of December 31, 2007, the Company had an ownership interest, through unconsolidated joint ventures in 44 industrial and 47 office properties totaling 11.5 million square feet (the “JV Properties in Operation” and, together with the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation, the “Properties in Operation”), four properties under development, which when completed are expected to comprise 527,000 square feet (the “JV Properties under Development” and, together with the Wholly Owned Properties under Development, the “Properties under Development”) and 715 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use.
The Company focuses on creating value for shareholders and increasing profitability and cash flow. With respect to its Properties in Operation, the Company endeavors to maintain high occupancy levels while increasing rental rates and controlling costs. The Company pursues development opportunities that it believes will create value and yield acceptable returns. The Company also acquires properties that it believes will create long-term value, and disposes of properties that no longer fit within the Company’s strategic objectives or in situations where it can optimize cash proceeds. The Company’s operating results depend primarily upon income from rental operations and are substantially influenced by rental demand for the Properties in Operation.
Rental demand for the Properties in Operation generally improved during the year ended December 31, 2007. Although in some markets the Company continues to experience market conditions characterized by an oversupply of leaseable space and/or soft demand, the Company believes that the majority of its markets are recovering from several years of a generally slow real estate economy. However, this recovery gradually slowed during the second half of 2007. Rental rates in many of the Company’s markets have stabilized or improved. The Company successfully leased 15.7 million square feet during the year ended December 31, 2007 and attained occupancy of 92.7% for the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation and 93.7% for the Joint Venture Properties in Operation for a combined occupancy of 92.9% for the Properties in Operation as of that date. The Company believes that straight line rents on renewal and replacement leases for 2008 will on average be 0% to 2% greater than rents on expiring leases. Furthermore, the Company believes that average occupancy for its Properties in Operation will not increase or decrease by more than 1% for 2008 compared to 2007.
WHOLLY OWNED CAPITAL ACTIVITY
Acquisitions
During the first half of 2007, conditions for the acquisition of properties were very competitive. However, during the latter part of the year ended December 31, 2007, market conditions for acquisitions were unsettled because of adverse events in the credit markets. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company acquired 23 properties representing 3.0 million square feet for a Total Investment, as defined below, of $316.6 million. These acquisitions generally served to increase the Company’s presence or balance the product mix in markets the Company believes to have significant potential. The properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2007 were primarily located in Phoenix (970,000 square feet) and Houston (900,000 square feet). “Total Investment” for a property is defined as the property’s purchase price plus closing costs and management’s estimate, as determined at the time of acquisition, of the cost of necessary building improvements in the case of acquisitions, or land costs and land and building improvement costs in the case of development projects, and, where appropriate, other development costs and carrying

costs. For 2008, the Company believes that wholly owned property acquisitions will be in the $100 million to $200 million range and that, similar to 2007, certain of the acquired properties will be either vacant or underleased.
Dispositions
During the first half of 2007 the real estate disposition market was very strong. However, during the latter part of the year ended December 31, 2007, market conditions for dispositions were unsettled because of adverse events in the credit markets. Disposition activity allows the Company to, among other things, (1) reduce its holdings in certain markets and product types within a market; (2) lower the average age of the portfolio; and (3) take advantage of favorable market conditions to optimize the cash proceeds from the sale of certain assets. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company realized proceeds of $386.4 million from the sale of 70 operating properties representing 5.2 million square feet and 166 acres of land. A substantial portion of the properties sold during this period were in the Michigan market. For 2008, the Company believes it will dispose of $250 million to $350 million of operating properties.
Development
The Company continues to pursue development opportunities. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company brought into service 25 Wholly Owned Properties under Development representing 4.2 million square feet and a Total Investment of $398.5 million, and initiated $321.2 million in real estate development. As of December 31, 2007, the projected Total Investment of the Wholly Owned Properties under Development (excluding Comcast Center) was $383.1 million. For 2008, the Company believes that it will bring into service from its development pipeline (excluding Comcast Center) approximately $200 million to $300 million of Total Investment in operating real estate.
Comcast Center Activity
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company brought into service 947,000 square feet of Comcast Center equaling $370.9 million of Total Investment. The balance of Comcast Center is scheduled to be brought into service during the first half of 2008. The projected Total Investment at December 31, 2007 for the remainder of Comcast Center to be brought into service is $124.1 million. In April 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture, whereby the Company sold an 80% interest in the equity of Comcast Center. The terms of the joint venture obligate the Company to complete the development of the building and consequently this development is treated as a Wholly Owned Property under Development. In 2008, the Company expects to effectuate sale treatment of Comcast Center to the unconsolidated joint venture – See Note 4 to the Company’s financial statements.
JOINT VENTURE CAPITAL ACTIVITY
The Company periodically enters into joint venture relationships in connection with the execution of its real estate operating strategy.
Acquisitions
During the year ended December 31, 2007, unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest acquired four properties representing 1.2 million square feet for a Total Investment of $70.6 million. The Company also formed two joint ventures, the Blythe Valley JV Sarl and the Liberty Washington, LP joint ventures (see below). For 2008, the Company believes that property acquisitions by existing joint ventures will be in the $200 million to $250 million range.
Dispositions
During the year ended December 31, 2007, an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company held an interest realized proceeds of $1.3 million from the sale of one operating property representing 25,000 square feet.
Development
During the year ended December 31, 2007, unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest brought into service three development properties representing 1.1 million square feet and a Total Investment of $53.5 million and initiated $15.0 million in real estate development. As of December 31, 2007, the projected Total Investment of Joint Venture Properties under Development was $170.3 million. For 2008, the Company expects unconsolidated joint ventures in which it holds an interest to bring into service $50 million to $70 million of Total Investment in operating properties.
Blythe Valley JV Sarl
On September 10, 2007, a newly formed joint venture in which the Company holds a 20% interest acquired the Blythe Valley Park for $325 million. The park consists of 491,000 square feet of office space and 98 acres of developable land and is located in close proximity to the city of Birmingham, UK.

Liberty Washington, LP
On October 4, 2007, the Company acquired Republic Property Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust and Republic Property Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership and Republic’s operating partnership (together, “Republic”) for $913 million. The acquisition of Republic was completed through the merger of Republic with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the merger of Republic’s operating partnership with the Company’s Operating Partnership. Republic operated a portfolio consisting of 2.4 million square feet of office space, six acres of developable land, and a redevelopment property that, when completed, is expected to contain an additional 176,000 square feet of office space in the Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. markets.
Concurrently, the Company formed a joint venture with New York State Common Retirement Fund to own and manage the Republic portfolio. The joint venture, in which the Company holds a 25% interest, purchased the Republic real estate assets for $900 million. The acquisition of Republic resulted in the Company recording $13 million in goodwill and other intangibles.
Forward-Looking Statements
When used throughout this report, the words “believes,” “anticipates” and “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements indicate that assumptions have been used that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual financial results or management plans and objectives to differ materially from those projected or expressed herein, including: the effect of national and regional economic conditions; rental demand; the Company’s ability to identify, and enter into agreements with suitable joint venture partners in situations where it believes such arrangements are advantageous; the Company’s ability to identify and secure additional properties and sites, both for itself and the joint ventures to which it is a party, that meet its criteria for acquisition or development; the availability and cost of capital; the effect of prevailing market interest rates; risks related to the integration of the operations of entities that we have acquired or may acquire; risks related to litigation; and other risks described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Company bases these estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience and on other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company believes the following critical policies affect its more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Capitalized Costs
Expenditures directly related to the acquisition, or improvement of real estate, including interest and other costs capitalized on development projects and land being readied for development, are included in net real estate and are stated at cost. The Company considers a development property substantially complete upon the completion of tenant build-out, but no later than one year after the completion of major construction activity. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, development related salaries and other costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized development related salaries and benefits historically represent approximately 1% to 2% of the cost of developed properties. The determination to capitalize rather than expense costs requires the Company to evaluate the status of the development activity. Capitalized interest for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $45.7 million, $30.8 million and $17.7 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Deferred rent receivable represents the amount by which straight line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements. Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease. The capitalized above or below-market lease values are amortized as a component of rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants on an on-going basis. Based on these reviews, provisions are established, and an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its tenants to make required rental payments is maintained. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $6.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The Company’s bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $3.4 million, $1.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company realized $2.0 million from the settlement of a tenant bankruptcy.
Impairment of Real Estate
The Company evaluates its real estate investments and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures upon occurrence of significant adverse changes in operations to assess whether any impairment indicators are present that affect the recovery of the recorded value. If any real estate investment is considered impaired, the carrying value of the property is written down to its estimated fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 the Company recognized impairment losses of $0.2 million, $4.2 million and $5.3 million respectively. The 2007 impairment loss of $0.2 million was related to various land parcels. The 2006 impairment loss of $4.2 million was primarily related to a 352,000 square foot portfolio of operating properties in Michigan. The 2005 impairment loss was primarily related to a portfolio of operating properties equaling 615,000 square feet in the Midwest segment. The determination of whether impairment exists requires the Company to make estimates, judgments and assumptions about the future utility of the assets. The Company has evaluated each of its Properties and land held for development and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and has determined that there are no additional valuation adjustments that need to be made at December 31, 2007.
Intangibles
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company allocates the purchase price of real estate acquired to land, building and improvements and intangibles based on the relative fair value of each component. The value ascribed to in-place leases is based on the rental rates for the existing leases compared to the Company’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for leases of similar terms and present valuing the difference based on an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired. Origination values are also assigned to in-place leases, and, where appropriate, value is assigned to customer relationships. Origination cost estimates include the costs to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Additionally, the Company estimates carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods including real estate taxes, other operating expenses and lost rentals at contractual rates. The Company depreciates the amounts allocated to building and improvements over 40 years. The amounts allocated to the intangible relating to in-place leases, which are included in deferred financing and leasing costs or in other liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets, are amortized over the remaining term of the related leases. In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the intangible is written off.
Results of Operations
The following discussion is based on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. It compares the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007 with the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2006, and the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2006 with the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2005. As a result of the varying level of development, acquisition and disposition activities by the Company in 2007, 2006 and 2005, the overall operating results of the Company during such periods are not directly comparable. However, certain data, including the Same Store results, do lend themselves to direct comparison.
This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report.
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2007 to Year Ended December 31, 2006
Overview
The Company’s average gross investment in operating real estate owned for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased to $4,617.3 million from $3,935.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase in operating real estate resulted in increases in rental revenue, operating expense reimbursement, rental property operating expenses, real estate taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense.

Total operating revenue increased to $698.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $618.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This $80.3 million increase was primarily due to the increase in investment in operating real estate and the increase in operating revenue from the Same Store group of properties, discussed below. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in “Termination Fees,” which totaled $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Termination Fees are fees that the Company agrees to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their leases prior to the contractual expiration date. Termination Fees are included in rental revenue.
Segments
The Company evaluates the performance of the Properties in Operation by reportable segment (see Note 14 to the Company’s financial statements for reconciliation to net income). The following table identifies changes in reportable segments (dollars in thousands):

Same Store
Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the Same Store properties increased to $408.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $399.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, on a straight line basis (which recognizes rental revenue evenly over the life of the lease), and increased to $406.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $394.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 on a cash basis. These increases of 2.3% and 3.1%, respectively, are primarily due to an increase in occupancy and an increase in rental rates.
Management generally considers the performance of the Same Store properties to be a useful financial performance measure because the results are directly comparable from period to period. Management further believes that the performance comparison should exclude Termination Fees since they are more event specific and are not representative of ordinary performance results. In addition, Same Store property level operating income exclusive of Termination Fees is considered by management to be a more reliable indicator of the portfolio’s baseline performance. The Same Store properties consist of the 561 properties totaling approximately 50.2 million square feet owned on January 1, 2006.
Set forth below is a schedule comparing the property level operating income, on a straight line basis and on a cash basis, for the Same Store properties for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Same Store property level income is a non-GAAP measure and does not represent income before property dispositions, income taxes, minority interest and equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures because it does not reflect the consolidated operations of the Company. Investors should review Same Store results, along with Funds from operations (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section), GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities when considering the Company’s operating performance. Also, set forth below is a reconciliation of Same Store property level operating income to net income (in thousands).

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased to $54.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $46.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to increases in compensation expense for real estate personnel necessitated by the competitive real estate market and increases in personnel consistent with the size and complexity of the Company. The increase in general and administrative expenses was also due to the expensing of costs relating to the acquisition of Republic and an increase in cancelled project costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased to $158.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $134.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to the increase in gross investment in operating real estate during the respective periods and particularly the increased investment in tenant improvement costs, which are depreciated over a shorter period than buildings.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $129.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $111.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was related to an increase in the average debt outstanding, which was $2,677.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $2,263.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The effect of the increase in the average debt outstanding was partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest costs and a decrease in the weighted average interest rate to 6.4% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from 6.6% for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $4.7 million and $12.7 million, respectively. This decrease was due to the decrease in the level of dispositions in 2007 compared to 2006.
Other
Costs directly related to the development of Properties Under Development and land being readied for development are capitalized. Capitalized development costs include interest, development-related salaries and benefits, property taxes, insurance and other directly identifiable costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized development-related salaries and benefits historically represent approximately 1% to 2% of the cost of developed properties.

Table of Contents

Gain on property dispositions decreased to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $17.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease was due to a gain on sale of properties to an unconsolidated joint venture during the year ended December 31, 2006. There was no similar transaction in 2007.
Income from discontinued operations decreased to $39.0 million from $124.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease is due to lower operating income and the decrease in gains recognized on sales which were $33.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $112.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net income decreased to $164.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $266.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2006 to Year Ended December 31, 2005
Overview
The Company’s average gross investment in operating real estate owned for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased to $3,935.9 million from $3,609.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase in operating real estate resulted in increases in rental revenue, operating expense reimbursement, rental property operating expenses, real estate taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense.
Total operating revenue increased to $618.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $588.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This $30.2 million increase was primarily due to the increase in investment in operating real estate and the increase in operating revenue from the Prior Year Same Store group of properties, discussed below. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Termination Fees, which totaled $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Termination Fees are included in rental revenue.

Same Store
Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the “Prior Year Same Store” (as defined below) properties increased to $401.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $391.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, on a straight line basis and increased to $397.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $384.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 on a cash basis. These increases of 2.8% and 3.4%, respectively, were primarily due to an increase in occupancy.
Management generally considers the performance of the Prior Year Same Store properties to be a useful financial performance measure because the results are directly comparable from period to period. Management further believes that the performance comparison should exclude Termination Fees since they are more event specific and are not representative of ordinary performance results. In addition, Prior Year Same Store property level operating income exclusive of Termination Fees is considered by management to be a more reliable indicator of the portfolio’s baseline performance. The Prior Year Same Store properties consist of the 597 properties totaling approximately 50.2 million square feet owned on January 1, 2005.
Set forth below is a schedule comparing the property level operating income, on a straight line basis and on a cash basis, for the Prior Year Same Store properties for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Prior Year Same Store property level income is a non-GAAP measure and does not represent income before property dispositions, income taxes, minority interest, and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures because it does not reflect the consolidated operations of the Company. Investors should review Prior Year Same Store results, along with Funds from operations (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section), GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities when considering the Company’s operating performance.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased to $46.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $38.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and increases in personnel consistent with the increase in the size of the Company. The increase in general and administrative expenses was also due to the expensing of long term incentive compensation.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased to $134.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $125.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to the increase in gross investment in

31

operating real estate during the respective periods and particularly the increased investment in tenant improvement costs, which are depreciated over a relatively shorter period than buildings.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $111.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $111.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $12.7 million and $24.4 million, respectively. This decrease was due to the level of dispositions in 2006 versus 2005. The increase in average debt outstanding for 2006 compared to 2005 and the decrease in interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for 2006 compared to 2005 were partially offset by the increase in capitalized interest costs which is consistent with the increased investment in Properties under Development. The average debt outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $2,263.9 million compared to $2,241.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The weighted average interest rate for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was unchanged at 6.6% for both years.
Other
Costs directly related to the development of Properties Under Development and land being readied for development are capitalized. Capitalized development costs include interest, development-related salaries, property taxes, insurance and other directly identifiable costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized development-related salaries and benefits historically represent approximately 1% to 2% of the cost of developed properties.
Gain on property dispositions and income taxes decreased to $17.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $86.1 million and $14.8 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005. In 2005, an $89.6 million gain and a resultant $14.5 million of tax liability was recognized on the sale of 15 United Kingdom Properties in Operation to the Kings Hill Unit Trust joint venture. In 2006, a $17.6 million gain was recognized on the sale of certain Properties in Operation and land located in Chicago to the Liberty Illinois, LP joint venture.
Income from discontinued operations increased to $124.4 million from $53.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase is due to the increase in gains realized on sales which were $112.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $36.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net income increased to $266.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $249.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $72.6 million, including $34.6 million in restricted cash.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased to $384.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $344.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This $39.8 million increase was primarily due to a decrease in restricted cash. In 2006, funds received from the sale of land in the United Kingdom were restricted for infrastructure investment. In 2007, a portion of these funds were used for infrastructure investment. Net cash flow provided by operations is the primary source of liquidity to fund distributions to shareholders and for the recurring capital expenditures and leasing transaction costs for the Company’s Properties in Operation. In the past several years, a portion of distributions to shareholders has been funded by the disposition of properties or borrowings.
Net cash used in investing activities increased to $796.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $355.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This $441.5 million increase was primarily due to cash paid for the acquisition of Republic, increased investment in joint ventures to include Blythe Valley JV Sarl and an increased investment in development in progress partially offset by an increase in net proceeds from the disposition of properties and land and decreased investment in properties.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $396.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to net cash used of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This change was due to the increase in debt and an increase in proceeds from the issuance of preferred units. These increases were partially offset by the purchase of treasury shares. Net cash provided by or used in financing activities includes proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt, net of debt repayments and shareholder distributions. Net cash provided by financing activities is a source of capital utilized by the Company to fund investment activities.

The Company funds its development and acquisitions with long-term capital sources including proceeds from the disposition of properties. For the year ended December 31, 2007, a significant portion of these activities were funded through a $600 million Credit Facility (the “$600 million Credit Facility”). The interest rate on borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility fluctuates based upon ratings from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) and Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”). The current ratings for the Company’s senior unsecured debt are Baa2, BBB and BBB+ from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively. At these ratings, the interest rate for borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility is 65 basis points over LIBOR. The $600 million Credit Facility contains an accordion feature whereby the Company may borrow an additional $200 million. The $600 million Credit Facility expires in January 2010, and has a one-year extension option.
The Company uses debt financing to lower its overall cost of capital in an attempt to increase the return to shareholders. The Company staggers its debt maturities and maintains debt levels it considers to be prudent. In determining its debt levels, the Company considers various financial measures including the debt to gross assets ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio. As of December 31, 2007 the Company’s debt to gross assets ratio was 46.5%, and for the year ended December 31, 2007 the fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.3x. Debt to gross assets equals total long-term debt, borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility, and borrowings under the Liberty/Commerz 1701 JFK Boulevard, LP financing arrangement divided by total assets plus accumulated depreciation. The fixed charge coverage ratio equals income from continuing operations before property dispositions and minority interest, including operating activity from discontinued operations, plus interest expense and depreciation and amortization, divided by interest expense, including capitalized interest, plus distributions on preferred units.
As of December 31, 2007, $243.2 million in mortgage loans and $2,155.0 million in unsecured notes were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 6.59%. The interest rates on these mortgage loans and unsecured notes are fixed and range from 4.6% to 8.8%. The weighted average remaining term for these mortgage loans and unsecured notes is 5.8 years.
In 2008, $34.1 million in mortgage loans with various interest rates will mature. The Company anticipates that it will refinance or retire these borrowings through its available sources of capital.
During the first half of 2008, it is anticipated that Liberty/Commerz 1701 JFK Boulevard, LP will close on a loan commitment for a $324 million permanent financing for Comcast Center. Liberty/Commerz 1701 Boulevard LP, will use the proceeds from this financing to repay the Company the $324 million it has advanced for the development of Comcast Center.

General
The Company believes that its existing sources of capital will provide sufficient funds to finance its continued development and acquisition activities. The Company’s existing sources of capital include the public debt and equity markets, proceeds from property dispositions, equity capital from joint venture partners and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, the Company expects to incur variable rate debt, including borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility, from time to time.
In December 2006, the Company satisfied a $100 million 6.95% medium term note and issued a $300 million 5.50% senior unsecured note due 2016. The net proceeds of the $300 million offering were $295.4 million and were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
In December 2006, the Company raised $27 million through the placement of 6.70% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units. The net proceeds from this offering were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
In June 2007, the Company redeemed for $23.7 million its outstanding 7.63% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units. The redemption resulted in a $0.7 million write-off of Series D issuance costs.
In August 2007, the Company raised $100 million through the placement of 7.40% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units. The net proceeds from this offering were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes. Amounts repaid under the credit facility were subsequently drawn to pay a portion of the cash merger consideration for the purchase of Republic Property Trust.
In August and September 2007, the Company satisfied a $100 million 7.25% senior unsecured note and issued a $300 million 6.625% senior unsecured note due 2017. The net proceeds of the $300 million offering were $296.2 million and were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes. Amounts repaid under the credit facility were subsequently drawn to pay a portion of the cash merger consideration for the purchase of Republic Property Trust.
In September 2007, the quarterly Common Share dividend was increased to $0.625 per share from $0.62 per share. The Company’s annual Common Share dividend paid was $2.485 per share, $2.465 per share, and $2.445 per share in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. In 2007, the Company’s dividend payout ratio was approximately 78.1% of Funds from operations (as defined below).
The Company has an effective S-3 shelf registration statement on file with the SEC (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). As of February 22, 2008, pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Trust had the capacity to issue up to $586.1 million in equity securities and the Operating Partnership had the capacity to issue up to $210.2 million in debt securities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures totaling $278.4 million.
Calculation of Funds from Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has issued a standard definition for Funds from operations (as defined below). The SEC has agreed to the disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure on a per share basis in its Release No. 34-47226, Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Company believes that the calculation of Funds from operations is helpful to investors and management as it is a measure of the Company’s operating performance that excludes depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions. As a result, year over year comparison of Funds from operations reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that Funds from operations provides useful information to the investment community about the Company’s financial performance when compared to other REITs since Funds from operations is generally recognized as the standard for reporting the operating performance of a REIT. Funds from operations available to common shareholders is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations available to common shareholders does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and does not

necessarily indicate that cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Funds from operations available to common shareholders also does not represent cash flows generated from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.
Funds from operations (“FFO”) available to common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Inflation
Inflation has remained relatively low during the last three years, and as a result, it has not had a significant impact on the Company during this period. The $600 million Credit Facility bears interest at variable rates; therefore, the amount of interest payable under the $600 million Credit Facility is influenced by changes in short-term interest rates, which tend to be sensitive to inflation. To the extent an increase in inflation would result in increased operating costs, such as in insurance, real estate taxes and utilities, substantially all of the tenants’ leases require the tenants to absorb these costs as part of their rental obligations. In addition, inflation also may have the effect of increasing market rental rates.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion about the Company’s risk management includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, dividends and distributions payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which is based on estimates by management and on rates quoted on December 31, 2007 for comparable loans, is less than the aggregate carrying value by approximately $13.3 million at December 31, 2007.
The Company’s primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates. The Company is exposed to market risk related to its $600 million Credit Facility and certain other indebtedness as discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - - Liquidity and Capital Resources.” The interest on the $600 million Credit Facility and certain other indebtedness is subject to fluctuations in the market.
The Company also uses long-term and medium-term debt as a source of capital. These debt instruments are typically issued at fixed interest rates. When these debt instruments mature, the Company typically refinances such debt at then-existing market interest rates which may be more or less than the interest rates on the maturing debt. In addition, the Company may attempt to reduce interest rate risk associated with a forecasted issuance of new debt. In order to reduce interest rate risk associated with these transactions, the Company occasionally enters into interest rate protection agreements.
If the interest rates for variable rate debt were 100 basis points higher or lower during 2007, the Company’s interest expense would have increased or decreased by $3.5 million. If the interest rate for the fixed rate debt maturing in 2008 was 100 basis points higher or lower than its current rate of 6.8%, the Company’s interest expense would have increased or decreased by $131,000.
The sensitivity analysis above assumes no changes in the Company’s financial structure. It also does not consider future fluctuations in interest rates or the specific actions that might be taken by management to mitigate the impact of such fluctuations.
The Company is also exposed to currency risk on its net investment in the United Kingdom. The Company does not believe that this currency risk exposure is material to its financial statements.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The dual presentation of financial statements for the Company is required by the SEC. The Company is comprised of two SEC registrants: Liberty Property Trust and Liberty Property Limited Partnership. Accordingly, financial statements are required for each registrant. The financial information contained within the two sets of financial statements is essentially the same.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
To the Shareholders of Liberty Property Trust:
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a — 15 (f) and 15d - 15(f). The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Trustees regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commissions (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Liberty Property Trust
We have audited Liberty Property Trust’s (the “Trust”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Trust’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Liberty Property Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 of Liberty Property Trust and our report dated February 26, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Liberty Property Trust
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Liberty Property Trust at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Liberty Property Trust’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF LIBERTY PROPERTY TRUST
1. ORGANIZATION
Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by Liberty Property Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”). The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 95.6% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2007. The Company provides leasing, property management, development, acquisition, and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of industrial and office properties which are located principally within the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States and the United Kingdom.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Trust, the Operating Partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries and those subsidiaries in which the Company owns a majority voting interest with the ability to control operations of the subsidiaries and where no approval, veto or other important rights have been granted to the minority shareholders. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation.
Real Estate and Depreciation
The properties are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
     
Building and improvements
  40 years (blended)
Capital improvements
  15 — 20 years
Equipment
  5 — 10 years
Tenant improvements
  Term of the related lease
Expenditures directly related to acquisition or improvement of real estate, including interest and other costs capitalized during development, are included in net real estate and are stated at cost. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, development-related salaries and other costs incurred during the period of development. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company allocates the purchase price of real estate to land, building and improvements and intangibles based on the relative fair value of each component. The value ascribed to in-place leases is based on the rental rates for the existing leases compared to market rent for leases of similar terms and present valuing the difference based on market interest rates. Origination values are also assigned to in-place leases, and, where appropriate, value is assigned to customer relationships. The Company depreciates the amounts allocated to building and improvements over 40 years and the amounts allocated to intangible assets relating to in-place leases, which are included in deferred financing and leasing costs and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, over the remaining term of the related leases.
Once a property is designated as held for sale, no further depreciation expense is recorded. Operations for properties identified as held for sale and/or sold where no continuing involvement exists are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Table of Contents

The Company evaluates its real estate investments, its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and its goodwill upon occurrence of a significant adverse change in its operations to assess whether any impairment indicators are present that affect the recovery of the recorded value. If any real estate investment or investment in unconsolidated joint ventures is considered impaired, a loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control these entities. Under the equity method of accounting, the net equity investment of the Company is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the Company’s share of net income from the joint ventures is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes tenant security deposits and escrow funds that the Company maintains pursuant to certain mortgage loans. Restricted cash also includes the undistributed proceeds from the sale of residential land in Kent County, United Kingdom.
Accounts Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable are comprised of rents and charges for property operating costs due from tenants. The Company periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances are collectible. Based on this review, accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company considers tenant credit quality and payment history and general economic conditions in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the accounts receivable balance is subsequently deemed uncollectible, the receivable and allowance for doubtful account balance is written off.
The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $6.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively.
Deferred Rent Receivable
The Company’s deferred rent receivable represents the cumulative difference between rent revenue recognized on a straight line basis and contractual payments due under the terms of tenant leases.
Goodwill
Goodwill on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet represents the amounts paid in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired from business acquisitions accounted for under SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” goodwill is not amortized to expense but rather is analyzed for impairment. In conjunction with the purchase of Republic, goodwill and other intangibles of $13 million were recorded. The goodwill is assigned to the Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C. operation which is part of the Philadelphia reportable segment and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Revenues
The Company earns rental income under operating leases with tenants. Rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the applicable lease term. Operating expense reimbursements consisting of amounts due from tenants for real estate taxes, utilities and other recoverable costs are recognized as revenue in the period in which the corresponding expenses are incurred.
Termination fees (included in rental revenue) are fees that the Company has agreed to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their lease prior to the contractual expiration date. The Company recognizes termination fees in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 when the following conditions are met:
  a)   the termination agreement is executed,
 
  b)   the termination fee is determinable,
 
  c)   all landlord services, pursuant to the terminated lease, have been rendered, and
 
  d)   collectibility of the termination fee is assured.

Deferred Financing and Leasing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with financing or leasing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related loan or lease. Deferred financing cost amortization is reported as interest expense. Intangible assets related to acquired in-place leases are amortized over the terms of the related leases.
Costs Incurred for Preferred Unit Issuance
Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s preferred unit issuances are reflected as a reduction of minority interest.

The anti-dilutive options that were excluded from the computation of diluted income per common share in 2007, 2006 and 2005 were 629,000, 103,000, and 290,000, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, dividends and distributions payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair values because of the

short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which is based on estimates by management and on rates quoted on December 31, 2007 for comparable loans, is less than the aggregate carrying value by approximately $13.3 million at December 31, 2007.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a result, the Company generally is not subject to federal income taxation at the corporate level to the extent it distributes annually at least 100% of its REIT taxable income, as defined in the Code, to its shareholders and satisfies certain other organizational and operational requirements. The Company has met these requirements and, accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates (including any alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local income and property taxes, and to federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income.
Several of the Company’s subsidiaries are taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”) and are subject to federal income taxes. In general, a TRS may perform additional services for tenants and generally may engage in real estate or non-real estate business that are not permitted REIT activities. The Company is also taxed in certain states, the United Kingdom, and Luxembourg. Accordingly, the Company has recognized federal, state and foreign income taxes in accordance with US GAAP, as applicable.
Certain of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards available of approximately $7.1 million. These carryforwards begin to expire in 2018. The Company has considered estimated future taxable income and have determined that a valuation allowance for the full carrying value of net operating loss carryforwards is appropriate.
The Federal tax cost basis of the real estate at December 31, 2007 was $5.7 billion and at December 31, 2006 was $5.0 billion.
Share Based Compensation
At December 31, 2007, the Company had a share-based employee compensation plan as fully described in Note 10. Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted for its share-based employee compensation plan (the “Plan”) the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), using the modified prospective application method. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employees’ requisite service period. In January 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, prospectively for all employee option awards granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2003. Prior to 2003, the Company accounted for the Plan under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related Interpretations.
Under the modified prospective application method, results for prior periods have not been restated to reflect the effects of implementing SFAS No. 123(R).
Certain restricted share awards and option awards are subject to accelerated vesting upon retirement. The Company historically accounted for these awards over the explicit service period. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company began expensing new awards to individuals qualifying for share acceleration over the substantive service period. Compensation costs relating to awards granted prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) continue to be expensed over the explicit service period. Had the Company accounted for those awards over the substantive service period, compensation costs for the year ended December 31, 2005 would have increased by $0.2 million.
Included in compensation costs for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were charges of $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which resulted from the accelerated vesting of unvested options and shares during the respective years.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company’s United Kingdom operations is pounds sterling. The Company translates the financial statements for the United Kingdom operations into US dollars. Gains and losses resulting from this translation do not impact the results of operations and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Accumulated other comprehensive income consists solely of foreign

currency translation adjustments as described. Other comprehensive income (loss) was $1.1 million, $10.4 million and ($15.2 million) for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of a foreign investment, the gain or loss on the sale will include the cumulative translation adjustments that have been previously recorded in other comprehensive income.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
FIN 48
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and it seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, and accounting in interim periods and requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes.
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, no uncertain tax positions were identified which would result in the recording of a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and correspondingly no benefit recognition was identified that would affect the effective tax rate. Additionally, there are no possibly significant unrecognized tax benefits which are reasonably expected to occur within the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expense. There are no interest and penalties deducted in the current period and no interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, certain state and local jurisdictions, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local, or United Kingdom and Luxembourg examinations by tax authorities for years before 2002.
SFAS No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for consistently measuring fair value under US GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008, and the provisions of SFAS No. 157 will be applied prospectively as of that date. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 141(R)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Applying the Acquisition Method” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). This statement changes the accounting for acquisitions specifically eliminating the step acquisition model, changing the recognition of contingent consideration from being recognized when it is probable to being recognized at the time of acquisition, disallowing the capitalization of transaction costs and delays when restructurings related to acquisitions can be recognized. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will impact the accounting for acquisitions made beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 160
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Accounting for Noncontrolling Interests” (“SFAS No. 160”). Under this statement, noncontrolling interests are considered equity and thus the Company’s practice of reporting minority interests in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet will be eliminated. Also, under SFAS No. 160, net income will encompass the total income of all consolidated subsidiaries and there will be separate disclosure on the face of the income statement of the attribution of that income between controlling and noncontrolling interests. Last, increases and decreases in noncontrolling interests will be treated as equity transactions. The standard is effective for the year ending December 31, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

(1)   Differences between the Company’s net investment in unconsolidated joint ventures and its underlying equity in the net assets of the venture is primarily a result of the deferral of gains associated with the sales of properties to joint ventures in which the Company retains an ownership interest and loans made to the joint ventures by the Company. Deferred gains are amortized to equity in (loss) earnings of joint ventures over the average estimated useful lives of the assets sold.

Based on the Company’s present ratings, borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility are priced at LIBOR plus 65 basis points. The $600 million Credit Facility contains a competitive bid option, whereby participating lenders bid on the interest rate to be charged. This feature is available for up to 50% of the amount of the facility. The interest rate on the $470.0 million of borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2007 was 5.66%. The current ratings for the Company’s senior unsecured debt are Baa2, BBB, and BBB+ from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively. The $600 million Credit Facility has an accordion feature for an additional $200 million. There is also a 15 basis point annual facility fee on the current borrowing capacity. The $600 million Credit Facility expires on January 16, 2010 and may be extended for a one-year period. The $600 million Credit Facility contains financial covenants, certain of which are set forth below:
    total debt to total assets may not exceed 0.60:1;
 
    earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to fixed charges may not be less than 1.50:1;

8. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Shares
The Company paid to holders of its common shares and holders of its common units distributions of $237.1 million, $229.0 million and $221.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. On a per share basis, the Company paid Common Share and Unit distributions of $2.485, $2.465 and $2.445 during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.
The following table summarizes the taxability of common share distributions (taxability for 2007 is estimated):
                         
    2007     2006     2005  
Ordinary dividend
  $ 1.6771     $ 1.6421     $ 1.5352  
Qualified dividend
    0.0904              
Capital Gain
    0.7175       0.8229       0.9098  
Return of Capital
                 
     
Total
  $ 2.4850     $ 2.4650     $ 2.4450  
 
                 
The Company’s tax return for the year ended December 31, 2007 has not been filed. The taxability information presented for the 2007 distributions is based upon the best available data. The Company’s prior federal income tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities. Because the application of tax laws and regulations is susceptible to varying interpretations, the taxability of distributions could be changed at a later date upon final determination by taxing authorities.
Treasury Shares
The Company’s Board of Trustees authorized a share repurchase plan under which the Company may purchase up to $100 million of the Company’s Common Shares and preferred shares (as defined below).
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company purchased 1,190,809 Common Shares for $50.6 million as part of the share repurchase plan.
Minority Interest
Minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements represents the interests of the common and preferred units in Liberty Property Limited Partnership not held by the Trust. Minority interest is adjusted at each period end to reflect the ownership percentage of the common and preferred unitholders at that time. A minority interest reclassification occurs between minority interest and shareholders’ equity each period there is a transaction involving ownership interests in Liberty Property Limited Partnership. In addition, minority interest includes third-party ownership interests in consolidated joint venture investments. During 2006, 684,432 common units were issued in connection with an acquisition. No common units were issued in connection with acquisitions during 2007 or 2005. The common units outstanding as of December 31, 2007 have the same economic characteristics as common shares of the Trust. The 4,189,967 common units share proportionately in the net income or loss and in any distributions of the Operating Partnership and are exchangeable into the same number of common shares of the Trust. The market value of the 4,189,967 common units based on the closing price of the shares of the Company at December 31, 2007 was $120.7 million.
As of December 31, 2007, the Company has 6,273,000 authorized but unissued preferred shares.

Shareholder Rights Plan
In December 1997, the Board of Trustees of the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan (the “Shareholder Rights Plan”). Under the Shareholder Rights Plan, one Right (as defined in the Shareholder Rights Plan) was attached to each outstanding common share at the close of business on December 31, 1997. In addition, a Right was attached to each share of common stock issued after that date. Each Right entitled the registered holder to purchase from the Company, under certain conditions, a unit (a “Rights Plan Unit”) consisting of one one-thousandth of a share of a Series A Junior Participating Preferred Share, $0.0001 par value, (the “Junior Preferred Stock”), of the Company, for $100 per Rights Plan Unit, subject to adjustment. The Rights became exercisable only if a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an “Acquiring Person”) acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of common shares or other voting securities (“Voting Stock”) that had 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock, or if an Acquiring Person commenced to make a tender offer or exchange offer to acquire beneficial ownership of Voting Stock that had 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock. The Rights were redeemable by the Company at a price of $0.0001 per Right. All Rights expired on December 31, 2007.
While the Company did not extend or renew the plan, it is not prohibited from adopting, without shareholder approval, a shareholder rights plan that may discourage any potential acquirer from acquiring more than a specified percentage of our outstanding common shares since, upon this type of acquisition without approval of our board of trustees, all other common shareholders would have the right to purchase a specified amount of common shares at a substantial discount from market price.

Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan under which holders of common shares may elect to automatically reinvest their distributions in additional common shares and may make optional cash payments for additional common shares. The Company may issue additional common shares or repurchase common shares in the open market for purposes of financing its obligations under the Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, 1,366,066, 1,297,867, and 1,767,187, common shares, respectively, were issued through the Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan. The Company used the proceeds to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for the benefit of its full-time employees. The Company matches the employees’ contributions up to 3% of the employees’ salary and may also make annual discretionary contributions. Total 401(k) expense recognized by the Company was $912,000, $940,000 and $716,000 for the years ended 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
10. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
Options
The Company has authorized the grant of options under the Plan to executive officers, other key employees, non-employee trustees and consultants of up to 12.8 million common shares of the Company. All options granted have 10-year terms and most options vest and are expensed over a 3-year period, with options to purchase up to 20% of the shares exercisable after the first anniversary, up to 50% after the second anniversary and 100% after the third anniversary of the date of grant.
Share based compensation cost related to options for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $904,000, $790,000 and $616,000, respectively.
Because option awards under the Plan vest over three years, the cost related to share-based employee compensation included in the determination of net income for 2005 is less than that which would have been recognized if the fair value based method had been applied to all option awards since the original effective date of SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested option awards in 2005 (in thousands, except per share amounts).

Pro forma disclosures are not likely to be representative of the effects on reported net income for future years because of the staggered vesting periods of the options.
The fair value of share option awards is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The following weighted-average assumptions were utilized in calculating the fair value of options granted during the periods indicated:

Employee Share Purchase Plan
The Company registered 750,000 common shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with an employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”). The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company, in amounts up to 10% of the employee’s salary, at a 15% discount to fair market value. There were 13,414, 10,491 and 8,814 shares issued, in accordance with the ESPP, during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Substantially all of the Properties and land were subject to Phase I Environmental Assessments and when appropriate Phase II Environmental Assessments (collectively, the “Environmental Assessments”) obtained in contemplation of their acquisition by the Company. The Environmental Assessments consisted of, among other activities, a visual inspection of each Property and its neighborhood and a check of pertinent public records. The Environmental Assessments did not reveal, nor is the Company aware of, any non-compliance with environmental laws, environmental liability or other environmental claim that the Company believes would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company is obligated to make additional capital contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures of $4.2 million.
The Company has letter of credit obligations of $2.3 million related to development requirements.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes the risk is not significant.
Litigation
The Company has been substituted for Republic as a party to certain litigation as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Republic on October 4, 2007. The litigation is summarized below. The litigation arises out of a dispute between Republic and certain parties, two of whom were members of Republic’s Board of Trustees and “founders” of Republic. The dispute includes claims arising from the termination of a development arrangement in West Palm Beach, Florida and an attempt by Republic to acquire a certain office property from an entity controlled by the aforementioned related parties pursuant to an option agreement entered into at the time of Republic’s formation.
On November 17, 2006, Republic disclosed in a Form 8-K that Steven A. Grigg, its President and Chief Development Officer, had notified it that he was terminating his employment, purportedly for “good reason,” as such term is defined in his employment agreement, dated December 20, 2005. Mr. Grigg also asserted that, as a result of such termination, he was entitled to the severance payments provided for under the terms of the employment agreement. The cash portion of such severance payments could be valued at up to approximately $1.8 million. The Company disagrees with Mr. Grigg that there is a basis for termination by Mr. Grigg for good reason; therefore, we believe that Mr. Grigg terminated his employment without good reason as of November 13, 2006, the date of his termination letter. Accordingly, we believe that no severance payments are due and we have not remitted any such payments to Mr. Grigg under the terms of his employment agreement.
On December 22, 2006, Mr. Grigg filed a lawsuit against Republic in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Mr. Grigg alleges, among other things, that (i) Republic breached his employment agreement, (ii) Republic breached its duties of good faith and fair dealing and (iii) the Noncompetition Agreement dated December 20, 2005 between Mr. Grigg and Republic is unenforceable and void. Mr. Grigg seeks, among other remedies, (i) the severance payment allegedly due under the employment agreement, (ii) other damages in an amount to be finally determined at trial and (iii) the voiding of the Noncompetition Agreement. The Company believes that Mr. Grigg’s lawsuit is

without merit, generally denies the allegations in the complaint and denies that Mr. Grigg is entitled to any of the relief sought in his complaint. Republic originally asserted various counterclaims against Mr. Grigg, including claims for common law fraud, state securities fraud, breach of his employment agreement, breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment. Republic subsequently voluntarily dismissed without prejudice its common law fraud, state securities fraud and unjust enrichment claims in order to pursue those claims in the litigation described below pending in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The Company’s counterclaims against Mr. Grigg for breach of his employment agreement and breach of his fiduciary duties remain pending in the District of Columbia Superior Court litigation. On March 30, 2007, the Court denied, in its entirety, Mr. Grigg’s motion to dismiss these counterclaims. The Company seeks damages and other appropriate relief on these counterclaims.
On March 6, 2007, Mr. Richard Kramer, Republic’s former Non-executive Chairman of the Board, filed a lawsuit against Republic in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland Southern Division, in which he seeks advancement for legal fees incurred by him purportedly in connection with an independent counsel’s investigation with respect to certain matters involving Republic’s course of dealing in a West Palm Beach development project, as well as those fees incurred in filing and prosecuting this lawsuit. On May 3, 2007, Mr. Kramer voluntarily dismissed this case, and filed an almost identical lawsuit against Republic in the Circuit Court of Baltimore County, Maryland. We believe that Mr. Kramer’s lawsuit is without merit and filed a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, motion for summary judgment, seeking the dismissal of Mr. Kramer’s lawsuit. Mr. Kramer filed a motion for summary judgment against the Company. On November 2, 2007 the Court denied Mr. Kramer’s motion for summary judgment and granted the Company’s motion to dismiss. Mr. Kramer has appealed the Court’s judgment.
On March 28, 2007, Republic filed a lawsuit against Messrs. Kramer and Grigg and Republic Properties Corporation in the United States District Court of the District of Columbia. This lawsuit asserts, among other things, claims against (i) all three defendants for (a) federal and state securities fraud and (b) common law fraud; (ii) Messrs. Kramer and Grigg for (a) federal and state control person liability and (b) unjust enrichment; and (iii) Republic Properties Corporation for (a) breach of contract and (b) indemnification. The Company seeks, among other remedies, (i) damages in an amount not less than $1.2 million, the approximate value (at the time of issuance) of the partnership units issued by Republic Property Limited Partnership to Republic Properties Corporation in connection with the West Palm Beach City Center Development Contribution Agreement, (ii) additional damages incurred by us as a result of the termination of the West Palm Beach Professional Services Agreement, (iii) recovery of the costs, including attorneys fees, associated with a previously-disclosed independent investigation, (iv) reimbursement for Republic’s expenses in this litigation, including attorneys’ fees, and (v) other damages, including punitive damages, in an amount to be finally determined at trial. On April 27, 2007, Republic filed an Amended Complaint in the District of Columbia District Court action, adding to the claims set forth immediately above a claim for declaratory judgment that Mr. Kramer was not entitled to advancement or reimbursement of any of the fees sought in his Maryland litigation. Republic Property Corporation, Messrs. Kramer and Grigg have filed motions to dismiss this lawsuit, which are currently pending.
On May 21, 2007, Republic proffered a lease (the “Lease”) to 25 Massachusetts Avenue Property LLC (the “Owner”) for certain space in Republic Square I, an office building in Washington, D.C. (the “Option Property”). Two of Republic’s founders and Trustees, Richard L. Kramer and Steven A. Grigg, currently control the Owner and Mark R. Keller, Republic’s former Chief Executive Officer, holds an ownership interest in the Owner. Based on information provided by the Owner, immediately prior to the proffer of the Lease, approximately 50% of the Option Property’s net rentable area was under lease and approximately 37% of the Option Property’s net rentable area was rent paying space. Had the Owner accepted the Lease, more than 85% of the space in the Option Property would have been rent paying space. The base rents and other material terms of the Lease proffer were based on the Owner’s lease up projections for the Property and the Lease was on the Owner’s form lease agreement.
On May 22, 2007, the Owner rejected the proffer of the Lease, asserting, among other things, that it was “not a bona fide business proposal for Republic’s own occupancy and leasing of space”. On May 29, 2007, Republic (i) re-tendered the Lease to the Owner for certain space at the Option Property and (ii) exercised its exclusive option to purchase the fee interest in the Option Property pursuant to the Option Agreement among the Owner, 660 North Capitol Street Property LLC and Republic dated as of November 28, 2005 (the “Option Agreement”). On May 30, 2007, the Owner rejected the Lease and claimed that “there has been no effective exercise of the Option.” The Company believes that the Lease was properly tendered for an appropriate purpose and, accordingly, the Company re-proffered the Lease to the Owner. The Owner rejected the Lease proffer and disputed whether the Lease entitled Republic to purchase the Property, pursuant to its exercise of the option, at the Purchase Price (as defined in the Option Agreement).
In response to the Owner’s rejection, on June 15, 2007, Republic filed a lawsuit against the Owner in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. This lawsuit asserts, among other things, that (i) by refusing to accept Republic’s

61


Table of Contents

option exercise the Owner has breached the Option Agreement and (ii) by deciding not to refinance a construction loan on the Property and rejecting the Lease, the Owner has breached the covenant of good faith and fair dealing implied in every contract governed by the laws of the District of Columbia. Republic sought, among other remedies, to obtain (I) an injunction against the Owner’s sale of the Option Property to any party other than Republic, (II) a declaration that the Lease and option exercise are effective and (III) an order that the Owner specifically perform its obligation to sell the Option Property to Republic pursuant to the Option Agreement. Also on June 15, 2007, Republic filed a Notice of Pendency of Action (Lis Pendens) in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia, in order to record Republic’s interest in the Option Property as reflected in the Delaware Chancery Court action. On July 2, 2007, the Owner answered the complaint and counterclaimed, seeking monetary damages related to the Owner’s purported attempts to sell the Option Property to a third party. The matter has been tried, the parties have filed post trial briefs and post trial arguments have been held. At this point, the outcome of the lawsuit is uncertain. However, it seems unlikely that the Company will have the opportunity to purchase the Option Property.
While management currently believes that resolving these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position or our results of operations, the litigation noted above is subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial position and the results of operations for the period in which the effect becomes capable of being reasonably estimated.
Although the Company is engaged in litigation incidental to its business, there is no additional legal proceeding to which it is a party which, in the opinion of management, will materially adversely affect the results of the Company’s operations.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates its portfolio of properties primarily throughout the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States. Additionally, the Company owns certain assets in the United Kingdom. The Company reviews the performance of the portfolio on a geographical basis. As such, the following regions are considered the Company’s reportable segments:
     
Reportable Segments   Markets
Delaware Valley
  Southeastern Pennsylvania; New Jersey
Midwest
  Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania; Minnesota; Milwaukee; Chicago
Mid-Atlantic

Florida
  Jacksonville; Orlando; Boca Raton; Tampa; Texas
Arizona
  Phoenix
Philadelphia

United Kingdom
  County of Kent; West Midlands
The Company’s reportable segments are distinct business units which are each managed separately in order to concentrate market knowledge within a geographic area. Within these reportable segments, the Company derives its revenues from its two product types: industrial properties and office properties.
The Company began to report the results of the Arizona and Philadelphia segments during the year ended December 31, 2007. As required by SFAS No. 131 (“SFAS No. 131”) “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” consolidated financial statements issued by the Company in the future will reflect modifications to the Company’s reportable segments resulting from the change described above, including reclassification of all comparative prior period segment information.
The Company evaluates performance of the reportable segments based on property level operating income, which is calculated as rental revenue and operating expense reimbursement less rental property expenses and real estate taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for the Company on a consolidated basis.
The operating information by segment is as follows (in thousands):

15. SFAS NO. 144, “ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS”
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the operating results and gain/(loss) on disposition of real estate for properties sold and held for sale are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations. Prior year financial statements have been adjusted for discontinued operations. The proceeds from dispositions of operating properties with no continuing involvement were $369.5 million and $395.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Below is a summary of the results of operations of the properties disposed of through the respective disposition dates (in thousands):
                         
    Year Ended December 31,  
    2007     2006     2005  
Revenues
  $ 31,393     $ 74,718     $ 106,349  
Operating expenses
    (12,607 )     (27,141 )     (38,327 )
Interest expense
    (4,714 )     (12,732 )     (24,433 )
Depreciation and amortization
    (6,932 )     (17,511 )     (24,517 )
 
                 
Income before property dispositions and minority interest
  $ 7,140     $ 17,334     $ 19,072  
 
                 
Interest expense is allocated to discontinued operations as permitted under EITF Issue 87-24, “Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations,” and such interest expense has been included in computing income from discontinued operations. The allocation of interest expense to discontinued operations was based on the ratio of net assets sold (without continuing involvement) to the sum of total net assets plus consolidated debt.

Asset Impairment
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized impairment losses of $0.2 million, $4.2 million, and $5.3 million, respectively. The 2007 impairment loss of $0.2 million was related to various land parcels. The 2006 impairment loss of $4.2 million was primarily related to a 352,000 square foot portfolio of operating properties in the Midwest segment. The 2005 impairment loss of $5.3 million was primarily related to a portfolio of operating properties equaling 615,000 square feet in the Midwest segment. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, $4.2 million and $4.2 million in impairment related to properties sold or held for sale were included in the caption discontinued operations in the Company’s statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2005, respectively, $0.2 million and $1.1 million in impairments were included in the caption gain on property dispositions as a component of income from continuing operations. The Company determined these impairments through a comparison of the aggregate future cash flows (including quoted offer prices) to be generated by the properties to the carrying value of the properties. The Company has evaluated each of the properties and land held for development and has determined that there are no additional valuation adjustments necessary at December 31, 2007.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
To the Partners of Liberty Property Limited Partnership:
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15 (f) and 15d – 15(f). The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commissions (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Partners of Liberty Property Limited Partnership
We have audited Liberty Property Limited Partnership’s (the “Operating Partnership”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Operating Partnership’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Liberty Property Limited Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, owners’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 of Liberty Property Limited Partnership and our report dated February 26, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Partners of Liberty Property Limited Partnership
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Property Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, owners’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Operating Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Liberty Property Limited Partnership at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Liberty Property Limited Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
LIBERTY PROPERTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
1. ORGANIZATION
Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”). The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 95.6% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2007. The Company provides leasing, property management, development, acquisition, and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of industrial and office properties which are located principally within the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States and the United Kingdom.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Operating Partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries and those subsidiaries in which the Company owns a majority voting interest with the ability to control operations of the subsidiaries and where no approval, veto or other important rights have been granted to the minority shareholders. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation.
Real Estate and Depreciation
The properties are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated lives are as follows:
     
Building and Improvements
  40 years (blended)
Capital improvements
  15 — 20 years
Equipment
  5 — 10 years
Tenant improvements
  Term of the related lease
Expenditures directly related to acquisition or improvement of real estate, including interest and other costs capitalized during development, are included in net real estate and are stated at cost. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, development-related salaries and other costs incurred during the period of development. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company allocates the purchase price of real estate to land, building and improvements and intangibles based on the relative fair value of each component. The value ascribed to in-place leases is based on the rental rates for the existing leases compared to market rent for leases of similar terms and present valuing the difference based on market interest rates. Origination values are also assigned to in-place leases, and, where appropriate, value is assigned to customer relationships. The Company depreciates the amounts allocated to building and improvements over 40 years and the amounts allocated to intangible assets relating to in-place leases, which are included in deferred financing and leasing costs and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, over the remaining term of the related leases.
Once a property is designated as held for sale, no further depreciation expense is recorded. Operations for properties identified as held for sale and/or sold where no continuing involvement exists are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Table of Contents

The Company evaluates its real estate investments, its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and its goodwill upon occurrence of a significant adverse change in its operations to assess whether any impairment indicators are present that affect the recovery of the recorded value. If any real estate investment or investment in unconsolidated joint ventures is considered impaired, a loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control these entities. Under the equity method of accounting, the net equity investment of the Company is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the Company’s share of net income from the joint ventures is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes tenant security deposits and escrow funds that the Company maintains pursuant to certain mortgage loans. Restricted cash also includes the undistributed proceeds from the sale of residential land in Kent County, United Kingdom.
Accounts Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable are comprised of rents and charges for property operating costs due from tenants. The Company periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances are collectible. Based on this review, accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company considers tenant credit quality and payment history and general economic conditions in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the accounts receivable balance is subsequently deemed uncollectible, the receivable and allowance for doubtful account balance is written off.
The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $6.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively.
Deferred Rent Receivable
The Company’s deferred rent receivable represents the cumulative difference between rent revenue recognized on a straight line basis and contractual payments due under the terms of tenant leases.
Goodwill
Goodwill on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet represents the amounts paid in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired from business acquisitions accounted for under SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” goodwill is not amortized to expense but rather is analyzed for impairment. In conjunction with the purchase of Republic, goodwill and other intangibles of $13 million were recorded. The goodwill is assigned to the Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C. operation which is part of the Philadelphia reportable segment and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Revenues
The Company earns rental income under operating leases with tenants. Rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the applicable lease term. Operating expense reimbursements consisting of amounts due from tenants for real estate taxes, utilities and other recoverable costs are recognized as revenue in the period in which the corresponding expenses are incurred.
Termination fees (included in rental revenue) are fees that the Company has agreed to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their lease prior to the contractual expiration date. The Company recognizes termination fees in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 when the following conditions are met:
a) the termination agreement is executed,
b) the termination fee is determinable,
c) all landlord services, pursuant to the terminated lease, have been rendered, and
d) collectibility of the termination fee is assured.

Table of Contents

Deferred Financing and Leasing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with financing or leasing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related loan or lease. Deferred financing cost amortization is reported as interest expense. Intangible assets related to acquired in-place leases are amortized over the terms of the related leases.
Costs Incurred for Preferred Unit Issuance
Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s preferred unit issuances are reflected as a reduction of Limited partner’s equity — preferred units.

Table of Contents

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, distributions payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which is based on estimates by management and on rates quoted on December 31, 2007 for comparable loans, is less than the aggregate carrying value by approximately $13.3 million at December 31, 2007.
Income Taxes
In conformity with the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state and local tax statutes, taxable income or loss of the Operating Partnership is required to be reported in the tax returns of the partners in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. However, the Company is taxed in certain states, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg. Accordingly, the Company has recognized federal, state, local and foreign taxes in accordance with US GAAP, as applicable.
Certain of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards available of approximately $7.1 million. These carryforwards begin to expire in 2018. The Company has considered estimated future taxable income and have determined that a valuation allowance for the full carrying value of net operating loss carryforwards is appropriate.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company’s United Kingdom operations is pounds sterling. The Company translates the financial statements for the United Kingdom operations into US dollars. Gains and losses resulting from this translation do not impact the results of operations and are included in general partner’s equity-common units. Other comprehensive income (loss) was $1.1 million, $10.4 million and ($15.2 million) for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of a foreign investment, the gain or loss on the sale will include the cumulative translation adjustments that have been previously recorded in general partner’s equity-common units.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
FIN 48
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and it seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, and accounting in interim periods and requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes.
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, no uncertain tax positions were identified which would result in the recording of a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and correspondingly no benefit recognition was identified that would affect the effective tax rate. Additionally, there are no possibly significant unrecognized tax benefits which are reasonably expected to occur within the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expense. There are no interest and penalties deducted in the current period and no interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, certain state and local jurisdictions, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local, or United Kingdom examinations by tax authorities for years before 2002.
SFAS No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for consistently measuring fair value under US GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008, and the provisions of SFAS No. 157 will be applied prospectively as of that date. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Table of Contents

SFAS No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 141(R)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Applying the Acquisition Method” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). This statement changes the accounting for acquisitions specifically eliminating the step acquisition model, changing the recognition of contingent consideration from being recognized when it is probable to being recognized at the time of acquisition, disallowing the capitalization of transaction costs and delays when restructurings related to acquisitions can be recognized. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will impact the accounting for acquisitions made beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 160
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Accounting for Noncontrolling Interests” (“SFAS No. 160”). Under this statement, noncontrolling interests are considered equity and thus the Company’s practice of reporting minority interests in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet will be eliminated. Also, under SFAS No. 160, net income will encompass the total income of all consolidated subsidiaries and there will be separate disclosure on the face of the income statement of the attribution of that income between controlling and noncontrolling interests. Last, increases and decreases in noncontrolling interests will be treated as equity transactions. The standard is effective for the year ending December 31, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

(1)   Differences between the Company’s net investment in unconsolidated joint ventures and its underlying equity in the net assets of the venture is primarily a result of the deferral of gains associated with the sales of properties to joint ventures in which the Company retains an ownership interest and loans made to the joint ventures by the Company. Deferred gains are amortized to equity in earnings (loss) of joint ventures over the average estimated useful lives of the assets sold.

6. INDEBTEDNESS
Indebtedness consists of mortgage loans, unsecured notes, borrowings under the credit facility and the Liberty/Commerz 1701 JFK Boulevard, LP financing arrangement. The weighted average interest rates for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, were 6.4%, 6.6% and 6.6%, respectively. Interest costs during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 in the amount of $45.7 million, $30.8 million and $17.7 million, respectively, were capitalized. Cash paid for interest for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, was $172.9 million, $150.2 million and $148.8 million, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company satisfied a $100 million 7.25% senior unsecured note and issued a $300 million 6.625% senior unsecured note due October 1, 2017. The net proceeds from this issuance were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes. Amounts repaid under the credit facility were subsequently drawn to pay a portion of the cash merger consideration for the purchase of Republic Property Trust.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company satisfied a $100 million 6.95% medium term note and issued a $300 million 5.50% senior unsecured note due December 15, 2016. The Company used the net proceeds to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
The Company is subject to financial covenants contained in some of the debt agreements, the most restrictive of which are detailed below under the heading “Credit Facility.” As of December 31, 2007 the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.
Mortgage Loans, Unsecured Notes
Mortgage loans with maturities ranging from 2008 to 2028 are collateralized by and in some instances cross-collateralized by properties with a net book value of $358.2 million.
The interest rates on $2,398.2 million of mortgage loans and unsecured notes are fixed and range from 4.6% to 8.8%. The weighted average remaining term for the mortgage loans and unsecured notes is 5.8 years.
Credit Facility
$600 Million Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company obtained a four-year, $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “$600 million Credit Facility”) replacing a $450 million unsecured revolving credit facility due January 16, 2006. Based on the Company’s present ratings, borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility are priced at LIBOR plus 65 basis points. The $600 million Credit Facility contains a competitive bid option, whereby participating lenders bid on the interest rate to be charged. This feature is available for up to 50% of the amount of the facility. The interest rate on the $470.0 million of borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2007 was 5.66%. The current ratings for the Company’s senior unsecured debt are Baa2, BBB, and BBB+ from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively. The $600 million Credit Facility has an accordion feature for an additional $200 million. There is also a 15 basis point annual facility fee on the current borrowing capacity. The $600 million Credit Facility expires on January 16, 2010 and may be extended for a one-year period. The $600 million Credit Facility contains financial covenants, certain of which are set forth below:
    total debt to total assets may not exceed 0.60:1;
 
    earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to fixed charges may not be less than 1.50:1;

8. OWNERS’ EQUITY
Common Units
General and Limited partners’ equity — common units relates to limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership issued in connection with the formation of the Company and certain subsequent acquisitions. During 2006, 684,432 common units were issued in connection with an acquisition. No common units were issued in connection with acquisitions during 2005 or 2007. The common units outstanding as of December 31, 2007 have the same economic characteristics as common shares of the Trust. The 4,189,967 common units are the common units held by persons and entities other than Liberty Property Trust, the general partner of Liberty Property Limited Partnership, which holds a number of common units equal to the number of outstanding common shares of beneficial interest. Both the common units held by Liberty Property Trust and the common units held by persons and entities other than Liberty Property Trust are counted in the weighted average number of common units outstanding during any given period. The 4,189,967 common units share proportionately in the net income or loss and in any distributions of the Operating Partnership and are exchangeable into the same number of common shares of the Trust. The market value of the 4,189,967 common units based on the closing price of the shares of the Company at December 31, 2007 was $120.7 million.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Substantially all of the Properties and land were subject to Phase I Environmental Assessments and when appropriate Phase II Environmental Assessments (collectively, the “Environmental Assessments”) obtained in contemplation of their acquisition by the Company. The Environmental Assessments consisted of, among other activities, a visual inspection of each Property and its neighborhood and a check of pertinent public records. The Environmental Assessments did not reveal, nor is the Company aware of, any non-compliance with environmental laws, environmental liability or other environmental claim that the Company believes would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company is obligated to make additional capital contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures of $4.2 million.
The Company has letter of credit obligations of $2.3 million related to development requirements.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes the risk is not significant.
Litigation
The Company has been substituted for Republic as a party to certain litigation as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Republic on October 4, 2007. The litigation is summarized below. The litigation arises out of a dispute between Republic and certain parties, two of whom were members of Republic’s Board of Trustees and “founders” of Republic. The dispute includes claims arising from the termination of a development arrangement in West Palm Beach, Florida and an attempt by Republic to acquire a certain office property from an entity controlled by the aforementioned related parties pursuant to an option agreement entered into at the time of Republic’s formation.
On November 17, 2006, Republic disclosed in a Form 8-K that Steven A. Grigg, its President and Chief Development Officer, had notified it that he was terminating his employment, purportedly for “good reason,” as such term is defined in his employment agreement, dated December 20, 2005. Mr. Grigg also asserted that, as a result of such termination, he was entitled to the severance payments provided for under the terms of the employment agreement. The cash portion of such severance payments could be valued at up to approximately $1.8 million. The Company disagrees with Mr. Grigg that there is a basis for termination by Mr. Grigg for good reason; therefore, we believe that Mr. Grigg terminated his employment without good reason as of November 13, 2006, the date of his termination letter. Accordingly, we believe that no severance payments are due and we have not remitted any such payments to Mr. Grigg under the terms of his employment agreement.
On December 22, 2006, Mr. Grigg filed a lawsuit against Republic in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Mr. Grigg alleges, among other things, that (i) Republic breached his employment agreement, (ii) Republic breached its duties of good faith and fair dealing and (iii) the Noncompetition Agreement dated December 20, 2005 between Mr. Grigg and Republic is unenforceable and void. Mr. Grigg seeks, among other remedies, (i) the severance payment allegedly due under the employment agreement, (ii) other damages in an amount to be finally determined at trial and (iii) the voiding of the Noncompetition Agreement. The Company believes that Mr. Grigg’s lawsuit is without merit, generally denies the allegations in the complaint and denies that Mr. Grigg is entitled to any of the relief sought in his complaint. Republic originally asserted various counterclaims against Mr. Grigg, including claims for common law fraud, state securities fraud, breach of his employment agreement, breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment. Republic subsequently voluntarily dismissed without prejudice its common law fraud, state securities fraud and unjust enrichment claims in order to pursue those claims in the litigation described below pending in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The Company’s counterclaims against Mr. Grigg for breach of his employment agreement and breach of his fiduciary duties remain pending in the District of Columbia Superior Court litigation. On March 30, 2007, the Court denied, in its entirety, Mr. Grigg’s motion to dismiss these counterclaims. The Company seeks damages and other appropriate relief on these counterclaims.
On March 6, 2007, Mr. Richard Kramer, Republic’s former Non-executive Chairman of the Board, filed a lawsuit against Republic in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland Southern Division, in which he seeks advancement for legal fees incurred by him purportedly in connection with an independent counsel’s investigation with respect to certain matters involving Republic’s course of dealing in a West Palm Beach development project, as well as those fees incurred in filing and prosecuting this lawsuit. On May 3, 2007, Mr. Kramer voluntarily dismissed this case, and filed an almost identical lawsuit against Republic in the Circuit Court of Baltimore County, Maryland. We believe that Mr. Kramer’s lawsuit is without merit and filed a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, motion for summary judgment, seeking the dismissal of Mr. Kramer’s lawsuit. Mr. Kramer filed a motion for summary judgment against the Company. On November 2, 2007 the Court denied Mr. Kramer’s motion for summary judgment and granted the Company’s motion to dismiss. Mr. Kramer has appealed the Court’s judgment.
On March 28, 2007, Republic filed a lawsuit against Messrs. Kramer and Grigg and Republic Properties Corporation in the United States District Court of the District of Columbia. This lawsuit asserts, among other things, claims against (i) all three defendants for (a) federal and state securities fraud and (b) common law fraud; (ii) Messrs. Kramer and Grigg for (a) federal and state control person liability and (b) unjust enrichment; and (iii) Republic Properties Corporation for (a) breach of contract and (b) indemnification. The Company seeks, among other remedies, (i) damages in an amount not less than $1.2 million, the approximate value (at the time of issuance) of the partnership units issued by Republic Property Limited Partnership to Republic Properties Corporation in connection with the West Palm Beach City Center Development Contribution Agreement, (ii) additional damages incurred by us as a result of the termination of the West Palm Beach Professional Services Agreement, (iii) recovery of the costs, including attorneys fees, associated with a previously-disclosed independent investigation, (iv) reimbursement for Republic’s expenses in this litigation, including attorneys’ fees, and (v) other damages, including

98


Table of Contents

punitive damages, in an amount to be finally determined at trial. On April 27, 2007, Republic filed an Amended Complaint in the District of Columbia District Court action, adding to the claims set forth immediately above a claim for declaratory judgment that Mr. Kramer was not entitled to advancement or reimbursement of any of the fees sought in his Maryland litigation. Republic Property Corporation, Messrs. Kramer and Grigg have filed motions to dismiss this lawsuit, which are currently pending.
On May 21, 2007, Republic proffered a lease (the “Lease”) to 25 Massachusetts Avenue Property LLC (the “Owner”) for certain space in Republic Square I, an office building in Washington, D.C. (the “Option Property”). Two of Republic’s founders and Trustees, Richard L. Kramer and Steven A. Grigg, currently control the Owner and Mark R. Keller, Republic’s former Chief Executive Officer, holds an ownership interest in the Owner. Based on information provided by the Owner, immediately prior to the proffer of the Lease, approximately 50% of the Option Property’s net rentable area was under lease and approximately 37% of the Option Property’s net rentable area was rent paying space. Had the Owner accepted the Lease, more than 85% of the space in the Option Property would have been rent paying space. The base rents and other material terms of the Lease proffer were based on the Owner’s lease up projections for the Property and the Lease was on the Owner’s form lease agreement.
On May 22, 2007, the Owner rejected the proffer of the Lease, asserting, among other things, that it was “not a bona fide business proposal for Republic’s own occupancy and leasing of space”. On May 29, 2007, Republic (i) re-tendered the Lease to the Owner for certain space at the Option Property and (ii) exercised its exclusive option to purchase the fee interest in the Option Property pursuant to the Option Agreement among the Owner, 660 North Capitol Street Property LLC and Republic dated as of November 28, 2005 (the “Option Agreement”). On May 30, 2007, the Owner rejected the Lease and claimed that “there has been no effective exercise of the Option.” The Company believes that the Lease was properly tendered for an appropriate purpose and, accordingly, the Company re-proffered the Lease to the Owner. The Owner rejected the Lease proffer and disputed whether the Lease entitled Republic to purchase the Property, pursuant to its exercise of the option, at the Purchase Price (as defined in the Option Agreement).
In response to the Owner’s rejection, on June 15, 2007, Republic filed a lawsuit against the Owner in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. This lawsuit asserts, among other things, that (i) by refusing to accept Republic’s option exercise the Owner has breached the Option Agreement and (ii) by deciding not to refinance a construction loan on the Property and rejecting the Lease, the Owner has breached the covenant of good faith and fair dealing implied in every contract governed by the laws of the District of Columbia. Republic sought, among other remedies, to obtain (I) an injunction against the Owner’s sale of the Option Property to any party other than Republic, (II) a declaration that the Lease and option exercise are effective and (III) an order that the Owner specifically perform its obligation to sell the Option Property to Republic pursuant to the Option Agreement. Also on June 15, 2007, Republic filed a Notice of Pendency of Action (Lis Pendens) in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia, in order to record Republic’s interest in the Option Property as reflected in the Delaware Chancery Court action. On July 2, 2007, the Owner answered the complaint and counterclaimed, seeking monetary damages related to the Owner’s purported attempts to sell the Option Property to a third party. The matter has been tried, the parties have filed post trial briefs and post trial arguments have been held. At this point, the outcome of the lawsuit is uncertain. However, it seems unlikely that the Company will have the opportunity to purchase the Option Property.
While management currently believes that resolving these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position or our results of operations, the litigation noted above is subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial position and the results of operations for the period in which the effect becomes capable of being reasonably estimated.
Although the Company is engaged in litigation incidental to its business, there is no additional legal proceeding to which it is a party which, in the opinion of management, will materially adversely affect the results of the Company’s operations.

The Company began to report the results of the Arizona and Philadelphia segments during the year ended December 31, 2007. As required by SFAS No. 131 (“SFAS No. 131”) “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” consolidated financial statements issued by the Company in the future will reflect modifications to the Company’s reportable segments resulting from the change described above, including reclassification of all comparative prior period segment information.
The Company evaluates performance of the reportable segments based on property level operating income, which is calculated as rental revenue and operating expense reimbursement less rental property expenses and real estate taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for the Company on a consolidated basis. The operating information by segment is as follows (in thousands):

13. SFAS NO. 144 “ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS”
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the operating results and gain/(loss) on disposition of real estate for properties sold and held for sale are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations. Prior year financial statements have been adjusted for discontinued operations. The proceeds from dispositions of operating properties with no continuing involvement were $369.5 million and $395.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Below is a summary of the results of operations of the properties disposed of through the respective disposition dates (in thousands):
                         
    Year Ended December 31,  
    2007     2006     2005  
Revenues
  $ 31,393     $ 74,718     $ 106,349  
Operating expenses
    (12,607 )     (27,141 )     (38,327 )
Interest expense
    (4,714 )     (12,732 )     (24,433 )
Depreciation and amortization
    (6,932 )     (17,511 )     (24,517 )
 
                 
Income before property dispositions and minority interest
  $ 7,140     $ 17,334     $ 19,072  
 
                 
Interest expense is allocated to discontinued operations as permitted under EITF Issue 87-24, “Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations,” and such interest expense has been included in computing income from discontinued operations. The allocation of interest expense to discontinued operations was based on the ratio of net assets sold (without continuing involvement) to the sum of total net assets plus consolidated debt.
Asset Impairment
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized impairment losses of $0.2 million, $4.2 million, and $5.3 million, respectively. The 2007 impairment loss of $0.2 million was related to various land parcels. The 2006 impairment loss of $4.2 million was primarily related to a 352,000 square foot portfolio of operating properties in the Midwest segment. The 2005 impairment loss of $5.3 million was primarily related to a portfolio of operating properties equaling 615,000 square feet in the Midwest segment. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, $4.2 million and $4.2 million in impairment related to properties sold or held for sale were included in the caption discontinued operations in the Company’s statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2005, respectively, $0.2 million and $1.1 million in impairments were included in the caption gain on property dispositions as a component of income from continuing operations. The Company determined these impairments through a comparison of the aggregate future cash flows (including quoted offer prices) to be generated by the properties to the carrying value of the properties. The Company has evaluated each of the properties and land held for development and has determined that there are no additional valuation adjustments necessary at December 31, 2007.

By acceptance of the contribution of the Contributed Interests to the Company and the purchase of the Purchased Interests by the Company, the Company shall be deemed to have assumed the Assumed Financing.
          (d) By virtue of the assignment to, and assumption by, the Company of the Liberty Loan Documents, as described in the Recitals to this Agreement, the Company shall be

- 14 -


 

deemed to have obtained secured financing in the principal amount of $59,500,000.00. The principal amount of, and interests securing the Liberty Loan are depicted on Exhibit D.
          (e) The Partners acknowledge that the contribution amounts set forth in Section 3.01(a) and Section 3.01(b) include estimated closing costs of the Company, and the Partners intend to adjust their initial capital contributions based on a reconciliation and proration of such costs undertaken post-Closing in accordance with the Contribution Agreement.
     3.02 Additional Capital Contributions.
          (a) NYSCRF and the General Partner shall each make Additional Capital Contributions to the Company in proportion to their Percentage Interests from time to time as may be required to (i) fund the costs of development, construction and lease-up (net of the proceeds of any third-party debt incurred for such development activities) of any New Development or Redevelopment pursuant to ARTICLE XIII (but not including Cost Overruns which shall be the responsibility of the Development Manager under the Development Management Agreement), or (ii) fund the acquisition costs (net of the proceeds of any third-party debt incurred for such acquisition) of any additional Property acquired by the Company in accordance with a jointly-approved Acquisition Plan adopted pursuant to Section 13.03. The Partners expect and intend that, except in the case of the development, construction and lease-up costs of the New Developments and Redevelopments and the acquisition costs for additional property acquisitions, any cash requirements of the Company will be provided from the rentals received by the Company and, if approved by the Partners, by loans from one or more Partners, at such Partners’ option, and loans from third parties, and no Partner shall be required to make any additional capital contribution to the Company therefor.
          (b) When required pursuant to Section 3.02(a), each Partner shall contribute in cash its respective Additional Capital Contribution to the Company on not less than ten (10) days prior written notice after the General Partner’s call therefor (each a “Call for Capital”).
          (c) If any amounts shall become due and payable under the Purchase Money Loan Documents, the General Partner shall make an Additional Capital Contribution to the Company equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of all such amounts.
     3.03 Failure to Make Capital Contribution. If any Partner fails to make any Capital Contribution required to be made by such Partner under Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 within 10 days after the same becomes due and payable (the “Defaulting Partner”), one or more of the other Partners (the “Contributing Partner”) may (but without obligation to do so), within 15 days after the expiration of said 10-day period, contribute to the Company an additional amount equal to the Defaulting Partner’s unpaid Capital Contribution and elect to treat such contribution as provided in either Section 3.03(a) or Section 3.03(b). If the Contributing Partner fails to make such election within said 15-day period, it shall be deemed to have elected to treat such contribution as provided in Section 3.03(b).
          (a) The Contributing Partner may treat such contribution as a loan to the Defaulting Partner (to be due and payable solely out of distributions otherwise payable to the Defaulting Partner hereunder) followed by a contribution of the proceeds thereof to the Company

- 15 -


 

to fund the Capital Contribution otherwise required to be made from the Defaulting Partner. Until the loan to the Defaulting Partner shall have been repaid together with interest at the rate equal to the Prime Rate plus five percentage points, or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, whichever is less, calculated upon the outstanding principal balance of such loan as of the first day of each month, all distributions otherwise to be made to the Defaulting Partner hereunder shall be distributed, for the Defaulting Partner’s account, by payment of the same to the Contributing Partner, and shall be applied against the balance owed by the Defaulting Partner to the Contributing Partner.
          (b) [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.]
          (c) Any change in Percentage Interests pursuant to this Section 3.03(b) shall not affect the amount of any Partner’s Capital Contributions for purposes of determining the amount to which such Partner is entitled pursuant to Section 5.02(a), to the extent attributable to Section 5.02(a).
     3.04 Capital Accounts.
          (a) The Company shall establish and maintain a separate Capital Account for each Partner in accordance with the following provisions:
               (i) To each Partner’s Capital Account there shall be credited (A) the amount of money contributed by such Partner to the Company, (B) the fair market value of property contributed by such Partner to the Company (net of any liabilities secured by such property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752) (the Partners agreeing that the fair market value of the Properties contributed by the General Partner to the Partnership on the date of this Agreement have fair market values equal to their Gross Asset Value as set forth in Section 3.01), and (C) such Partner’s distributive share of Profits and any items in the nature of income or gain which are specially allocated to such Partner pursuant to ARTICLE IV; and
               (ii) To each Partner’s Capital Account there shall be debited (A) the amount of money distributed to such Partner by the Company, (B) the fair market value of any

- 16 -


 

Company Asset distributed to such Partner by the Company (net of any liabilities secured by such Asset that such Partner is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752), and (C) such Partner’s distributive share of Losses and any items in the nature of expenses or losses which are properly allocated to such Partner pursuant to any Section of ARTICLE IV.
     The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. In the event the General Partner shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to comply with such Regulations, the General Partner may make such modification, provided that it will not have any adverse effect on the amounts distributable to any Partner pursuant to this Agreement. The General Partner also shall (1) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the combined Capital Accounts of the Partners and the total amount of Company capital reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), and (2) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) subject, however, to the limitation on modifications having any adverse effect on amounts to be distributed to a Partner as provided in the preceding sentence. Any questions with respect to a Partner’s Capital Account shall be resolved by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion, applying principles consistent with this Agreement.
          (b) Any transferee of a portion or all of a Partner’s Partnership Interest shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor Partner to the extent it relates to the Partnership Interest transferred.
     3.05 Negative Capital Accounts. Except to the extent Partners are required to make contributions to the capital of the Company under Section 3.01 and Section 3.02, no Partner shall be required to pay to the Company or to any other Partner any deficit or negative balance which may exist in such Partner’s Capital Account from time to time or upon Liquidation of the Company. A negative Capital Account shall not be considered a loan from or an asset of the Company.
     3.06 Return of Capital; No Interest on Amounts in Capital Account. Except upon dissolution of the Company or as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Partner shall have the right to demand or receive the return of any of its aggregate Capital Contributions or any part of its Capital Account or be entitled to receive any interest on its Capital Contributions or its outstanding Capital Account balance.
ARTICLE IV
ALLOCATIONS
     4.01 Allocation of Profits and Losses.
          (a) After giving effect to the allocations required by Section 4.03 of this Agreement, if any, and subject to the other limitations in this ARTICLE IV, Profits and Losses

- 17 -


 

for any taxable year of the Partnership shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Partners so as to produce, as nearly as possible, Capital Account balances for the Partners (taking into account all prior allocations and distributions) which equal the amount to which the Partners would be entitled as a liquidating distribution from the Partnership upon a hypothetical liquidation in which the net proceeds were distributed in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5.02 and as if the net proceeds available for distribution were an amount equal to the aggregate positive balance in the Partners’ Capital Accounts computed after taking into account all allocations of Profits and Losses (or items thereof) for the taxable year, including those pursuant to this Section 4.01.
          (b) If the allocation of all or any portion of Partnership Losses for a taxable year (or items thereof) would cause or increase a negative balance in the Adjusted Capital Account of any Limited Partner, such Loss (or item thereof) shall be allocated to those Limited Partners, if any, having positive remaining Adjusted Capital Account balances. Any remaining amount of such Partnership Losses (or items thereof) shall be allocated 100 percent (100%) to the General Partner.
     4.02 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:
          (a) Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE IV, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain with respect to any Fiscal Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 4.03(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
          (b) Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provisions of this ARTICLE IV, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Person who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 4.02(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

- 18 -


 

          (c) In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.02(c) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this ARTICLE IV have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.02(c) were not in this Agreement.
          (d) In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Company Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum such Partner is obligated, or is deemed to be obligated, to restore pursuant to the next-to-last sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.02(d) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this ARTICLE IV have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.02(d) and Section 4.02(c) were not in this Agreement.
          (e) In the event that the Profits available to be allocated to the Partners for any Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 4.01 are less than the maximum amount otherwise allocable to them pursuant thereto, then there shall be specially allocated to the Partners items of Company income and gain equal to such maximum amount.
          (f) Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated among the Partners in the same manner as if they were Losses for such Year or period.
          (g) Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
          (h) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required pursuant to Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) (2) or (4) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of such Partner’s interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be so adjusted.
     4.03 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 4.02, other than Section 4.02(e) (the “Regulatory Allocations”), are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items

- 19 -


 

of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 4.03. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE IV (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Sections 4.01, and 4.04. In exercising its discretion under this Section 4.03, the General Partner shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 4.02(a) and (b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 4.02(f) and 4.02(g).
     4.04 Other Allocation Rules.
          (a) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.
          (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction, and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be divided among the Partners in the same proportions as they share Profits and Losses, as the case may be, for the year.
     4.05 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partner so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with the definition of “Gross Asset Value” above). In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Agreement in accordance with such definition, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for Federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner in accordance with the “Traditional Method” described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b). Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.05 are solely for purposes of Federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses or other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTIONS
     5.01 Net Cash Receipts. Subject to year end adjustments based on annual audit contemplated at Section 8.04 below and in the definition of Net Operating Cash Receipts, and

- 20 -


 

the corresponding adjustment of distributions as soon as practicable after such audit, Net Cash Receipts (including, without limitation, Extraordinary Cash Flow from Capital Transactions that do not constitute a Liquidating Sale – e.g., the sale of one or more, but less than all, of the Properties) shall be distributed by the Company to the Partners in proportion to their Percentage Interests [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.], by wire transfer to an account as directed from time to time by each of the Partners. Concurrently with each such distribution the General Partner shall provide to each Partner an explanation of the sources of such Net Cash Receipts, detailed on a Property-by-Property basis.
     5.02 Cash Flow from Liquidating Sale. Except as provided in Section 5.03, Extraordinary Cash Flow from a Liquidating Sale shall be distributed by the Company in the following order of priority:
          (a) First, to the Partners until the Partners have received distributions pursuant to this Section 5.02(a) equal to the amount of their Unreturned Capital Contributions (and in the same proportion as the Unreturned Capital Contribution of a Partner bears to the aggregate Unreturned Capital Contributions of all Partners) until the Unreturned Capital Contribution amount of each Partner equals $0.00;
          (b) Next, to the Partners in the amount needed to cause the aggregate distributions to meet the Unleveraged IRR Target amount, and in the same proportion as the Percentage Interests of the Partners at the time of the distribution.
          (c) Next, the balance, if any, [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.]% to NYSCRF and [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.]% to the General Partner; provided, however, that if such balance consists, in whole or in part, of Extraordinary Cash Flow from New Development Properties, Redevelopment Properties or Vacant Land Properties (as determined in accordance with the allocation rules set forth in the definition of Unleveraged Development IRR) (such portion of the balance being referred to herein as the “Development Portion”), then the Development Portion shall instead be distributed as follows if either of the following conditions is met: [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.]
     5.03 Distributions on Liquidation. If prior to a Liquidating Sale the Company shall have undergone one or more Capital Transactions with respect to which the Extraordinary Cash Flow would have been eligible, if it had been received in a Liquidating Sale as of the date of such Capital Transaction, for distribution pursuant to Section 5.02(c), then, upon the subsequent occurrence of an actual Liquidating Sale, the Partners shall re-calculate the Partners’ respective distributions of Extraordinary Cash Flow resulting from such Capital Transaction or Capital Transactions pursuant to Section 5.02 rather than Section 5.01, and NYSCRF shall pay to the General Partner a sum (the “True-up Sum”) equal to that portion of the distributions made to NYSCRF on account of such Capital Transaction or Capital Transactions which is to be re-allocated to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 5.03. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement which might otherwise operate to limit the liability of a Partner for any other purpose, such provision shall not limit the liability of NYSCRF for its obligation to pay the True-

- 21 -


 

up Sum in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.03. NYSCRF shall be personally liable for the True-up Sum.
     5.04 Distributions in Kind. All distributions shall be made in cash and no Company assets shall be distributed in kind without the consent of all of the Partners except as provided in Section 10.02(a). Any assets distributed in kind shall be valued for such purpose at their fair market value as of the date of distribution as determined by an independent appraiser selected by the General Partner with the approval of NYSCRF, and shall be treated for the purposes of this ARTICLE V as if the Company had sold such assets at such value and distributed the proceeds of such sale to the Partner or Partners receiving such assets.
     5.05 REIT Distributions. At the option of the General Partner, the Company shall take, and the General Partner is authorized to take, reasonable action which in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the General Partner and reasonably acceptable to NYSCRF, is necessary and consistent with the General Partner’s (or its Affiliate’s) qualification as a REIT, to distribute sufficient amounts pursuant to this ARTICLE V to enable the General Partner to pay shareholder dividends that will (i) enable the General Partner to satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations; and (ii) enable the General Partner (or its Affiliate that is a REIT) to avoid any material federal income or excise tax liability of the General Partner (or its Affiliate that is a REIT) as a result of its status as a REIT, assuming for purposes of this determination that the only items on the federal income tax return of the General Partner (or such Affiliate that is a REIT) are the items shown on its Schedule K-1 received from the Company and all cash distributions received from the Company (less a reasonable allowance for non-deductible administrative costs) have been paid as dividends to the shareholders of the General Partner on the day after such distributions are received from the Company. Any distribution made pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall be made to all Partners in accordance with ARTICLE V. In no event shall NYSCRF incur any cost or expense as a result of this Section 5.05.
     5.06 Offsets.
          (a) Provided that the Manager under the Management and Leasing Agreement is an Affiliate of the General Partner, then in the event that any amounts due from the Manager to the Company under the Management and Leasing Agreement are unpaid and overdue, NYSCRF may cause the Company, after notice to the Manager, to offset the unpaid portion of such amounts claimed against the Manager against amounts due to the General Partner under this Agreement, and further provided that if there is any dispute between the Manager and the Company or NYSCRF as to whether the claim against the Manager is valid, the amount sought to be withheld shall be escrowed until the first to occur of the matter being resolved or the Manager, after written notice from the Company, no longer contesting the validity of the claim, with the interest earned thereon being paid to the party who is ultimately determined to be entitled to the amount claimed or, if it is determined that each party is entitled to a portion of the amount in dispute, pro rata based on the amount paid to each.
          (b) Provided that the Development Manager under the Development Management Agreement is an Affiliate of the General Partner, then in the event that any amounts due from the Development Manager to the Company under the Development Management Agreement are unpaid and overdue, NYSCRF may cause the Company, after notice to the

- 22 -


 

Development Manager, to offset the unpaid portion of such amounts claimed against the Development Manager against amounts due to the General Partner under this Agreement, and further provided that if there is any dispute between the Development Manager and the Company or NYSCRF as to whether the claim against the Development Manager is valid, the amount sought to be withheld shall be escrowed until the first to occur of the matter being resolved or the Development Manager, after written notice from the Company, no longer contesting the validity of the claim, with the interest earned thereon being paid to the party who is ultimately determined to be entitled to the amount claimed or, if it is determined that each party is entitled to a portion of the amount in dispute, pro rata based on the amount paid to each.
          (c) Provided that the General Partner is an Affiliate of LPLP, in the event that NYSCRF obtains a final non-appealable judgment against LPLP under the Contribution Agreement that is not paid when due, NYSCRF may cause the Company to offset the unpaid portion of such judgment against amounts due to the General Partner under this Agreement.

     6.02 Delegation; Standards; Indemnification.
          (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the General Partner may, at any time, delegate any of its powers, duties and responsibilities to an Affiliate. Any delegation pursuant to this Section 6.02(a) shall not, however, relieve the General Partner of any of its obligations hereunder.

          (e) In the performance of its duties and responsibilities and the exercise of its right, power, authority and discretion under this Agreement:

               (i) the General Partner shall act solely in the interests of the Company; and
               (ii) neither the General Partner nor any Affiliate of the General Partner shall (A) deal with the assets of the Company in its own interests or for its own account; (B) in any capacity act in any transaction involving the Company on behalf of any party whose interests are adverse to the interests of the Company; or (C) receive any compensation or consideration for its own personal account from any party dealing with the Company or proposing to deal with the Company in connection with a transaction involving any portion or all of the Property (other than fees for the rendering of maintenance services to the Properties as approved in the Annual Business Plan, provided that the cost of such services will be reimbursed to the General Partner at a rate equal to the General Partner’s direct costs for those services, plus a reasonable allocation of overhead related to providing such services).
          (f) The Company (but not any Partner) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the General Partner and the trustees, officers, directors and employees of the General Partner and its Affiliates (collectively the “Indemnified Party”) in the event it was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of any acts or omissions, or alleged acts or omissions, arising out of the activities of the Indemnified Party on behalf of the Company, or in furtherance of the interests of the Company, against any and all costs, losses, damages or expenses of any nature whatsoever for which such Indemnified Party has not otherwise been reimbursed (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and accounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such action, suit or proceeding so long as the Indemnified Party reasonably believed that its actions were within the scope of this Agreement and the Indemnified Party did not act fraudulently or in bad faith or in a manner constituting negligence or willful misconduct or in breach of the standards set forth in Section 6.02(d), or violate securities laws or criminal laws. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself (except insofar as such judgment, order, settlement or plea shall itself specifically provide) create a presumption that the Indemnified Party acted fraudulently or in bad faith or acted in a manner constituting negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnification rights of the Indemnified Party set forth in this Section 6.02(f) shall be cumulative of and in addition to, any and all rights, remedies, and recourse to which it shall be entitled whether pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, at law, or in equity.
          (g) To the extent permitted by applicable law and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be answerable for the default or misconduct of any third party agent, investment advisory service, attorney, appraiser, consultant, contractor, engineer, real estate managing agent, accountant or bookkeeper if such Person is not an Affiliate of the General Partner and if selected by the General Partner with reasonable care, unless the General Partner knowingly participates in such wrongdoing, has actual knowledge thereof and fails to take reasonable remedial action, or through negligence in the performance of its own specific responsibilities under this Agreement has enabled such wrongdoing to occur.
          (h) Neither the Company nor any Partner shall have any claim against the General Partner by reason of any act or omission of the General Partner, nor against NYSCRF by

- 26 -


 

reason of any act or omission of NYSCRF, except where such claim is based on gross negligence, actual fraud, material, deliberate or willful breach of this Agreement, or intentional tortious misconduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other agreement executed in connection herewith, but subject to the last sentence of Section 5.03, the General Partner expressly agrees that NYSCRF shall not be liable personally or otherwise for any breach or default by NYSCRF under this Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent of, and only to the extent of, the NYSCRF’s Partnership Interest in the Company. Except only for NYSCRF’s Partnership Interest in the Company, no assets of NYSCRF may be liened, encumbered, attached, levied or executed upon to satisfy any liability of or judgment against NYSCRF arising out of this Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection with this Agreement.
     6.03 Annual Business Plan. The Annual Business Plan shall be the blue print for the management of the business of the Company. The Annual Business Plan for calendar year 2007 is attached hereto as Exhibit E. No later than [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.], and each [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.] thereafter, the General Partner shall prepare and deliver to NYSCRF for its review and approval a proposed Annual Business Plan for the next Fiscal Year. NYSCRF shall, within [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.] days after receipt, provide the General Partner with written comments thereto, and if the Annual Business Plan for the succeeding year is not previously agreed to, the parties shall meet no later than [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.] of the then current year to agree on such Annual Business Plan. If for any reason at the beginning of any year the Annual Business Plan for such year has not been agreed to, the Company shall continue to operate in accordance with the Annual Business Plan for the prior year, except that [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.]. Each Annual Business Plan shall, among other information, contain the following information, consistent with the form attached hereto as Exhibit E:
          (a) a summary of the conditions of the leasing, sales and development marketplace in the DC Metropolitan Area (and the General Partner shall forward to NYSCRF copies of marketing reports prepared by third-party real estate firms received by the General Partner summarizing the conditions of leasing and development in the marketplace for commercial office properties in which the various portions of the Property are located);
          (b) the annual operating budget, which shall include the estimated revenues and expenses (including debt service), any anticipated Call for Capital pursuant to Section 3.02(a) and the regular capital expenditures, all for the ensuing Fiscal Year, and a leasing plan for each of the Properties (which leasing plan shall include any proposed changes to the standard form lease; tenant requirements and rental rates; estimated improvements; costs of re-tenanting; leasing commissions; and other non-recurring extraordinary capital expenditures, if any, for the affected Property);
          (c) the amounts of proposed reserves and contingency funds;

- 27 -


 

          (d) the recommendation of the General Partner with respect to debt financing to be issued by the Company in the ensuing Fiscal Year;
          (e) the recommendation of the General Partner with respect to the sale of any one or more of the Properties in the ensuing Fiscal Year
          (f) the recommendation of the General Partner with respect to any New Developments to be initiated in the ensuing Fiscal Year, together with a summary of all ongoing development activities under any Development Management Agreements then in effect, and a proposed development budget for all such recommended and ongoing projects; and
          (g) such additional information as may be necessary or appropriate to fully inform the Partners of all matters relevant to the Company and, if their approval is required, to enable the Partners to make an informed decision with respect to their approval of such Plan, or as any Partner shall reasonably have requested;
          (h) and whenever necessary to reflect a material change in any of the information contained in the Annual Business Plan as last submitted to NYSCRF, the General Partner shall submit such changes to NYSCRF for its approval, and upon such approval, such amended Plan shall become the Annual Business Plan.
     6.04 Matters Requiring Approval of NYSCRF. In addition to any other matter pertaining to the Company set forth herein that requires the approval of NYSCRF and in addition to the right of NYSCRF pursuant to Section 6.18, the following actions or decisions with respect to or affecting the Company or Company’s assets shall require the approval of NYSCRF prior to any action by the General Partner (except to the extent that the matter in question is included in, and budgeted for or permitted by, other than in the case of Section 6.04(k), the then applicable Annual Business Plan):
[The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.]

- 28 -


 

     6.05 Hazardous Materials. The General Partner shall not knowingly conduct or authorize and shall use its reasonable efforts to prevent a release of Hazardous Materials at any of the Properties and shall promptly notify NYSCRF in writing of any pending or threatened investigation or inquiry by any governmental authority in connection with any Hazardous Materials relating to a Property or of the occurrence of a release of Hazardous Materials at any Property. The General Partner shall promptly notify NYSCRF in writing if the General Partner becomes aware of any release of Hazardous Materials in violation of law originating on the Property, or of any such release originating in a neighboring property that threatens the Property.
     6.06 Emergency Actions. In the event that it is necessary to make expenditures which are not provided for in the Annual Business Plan, or to take any other action which requires the approval of NYSCRF under Section 6.04, but which is required under emergency court order, executive order or legislation, or which the General Partner, in good faith, believes appropriate in an emergency to avoid risk to life or health or facilitate the preservation of any portion or all

- 30 -


 

of the Company’s assets, and the General Partner reasonably determines that there is insufficient time to obtain such approval and that any delay in making such expenditures or taking such action could result in a violation of law or materially adversely affect the value of the Company assets or could materially increase the risk to life or health, then the General Partner shall be authorized to bind the Company for any expenditures or in any other action taken on behalf of the Company in such emergency. The General Partner shall notify NYSCRF of any exercise of its power and authority under this Section as soon as practicable thereafter.
     6.07 Regular Meetings.
          (a) The Partners shall meet annually at a time and place determined by the General Partner and reasonably approved by NYSCRF, for a report on the current Fiscal Year’s activities, a review of the most recent financial statements and, when available, a presentation of the next Fiscal Year’s Annual Business Plan, as well as to consider and decide such matters as may be specified by the General Partner or by prior written notice from any Partner to the General Partner. Without limiting the foregoing, the annual meetings shall include a discussion and analysis of (i) anticipated acquisitions and development activities for the ensuing year, and (ii) whether the Company should continue to hold or should sell each Property and any changes in the projected period of continuing to hold any portion or all of the Property. Reasonable notice shall be provided to the Partners of the time and place of such meeting and the matters to be decided or discussed. Any proposal requiring action of the Partners shall be provided to the Partners a minimum of ten (10) business days prior to such meeting. Participation in meetings may be by means of conference telephone call or similar telecommunications whereby all individuals participating in the meeting can hear, and speak to, each other at the same time.
          (b) Voting shall take place at meetings, provided, however, that any Partner may, at any time and without a meeting therefor, notify the General Partner of its vote on any matter requiring such vote, and the General Partner shall tabulate the vote and notify the Partners of such vote promptly thereafter. Voting under this Agreement shall take place in writing and the General Partner shall thereafter confirm the result of the vote of the Partners on any matter in writing.
          (c) Any action which may be taken by the Partners at any meeting may be taken without a meeting pursuant to written consent of all of the Partners.
     6.08 Special Meetings. Any Partner may call a special meeting of the Partners at any time. All of the provisions set forth above with respect to regular meetings shall also apply to any special meetings.
     6.09 Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the General Partner may execute a certificate that, except in the case of any matter which requires the approval of NYSCRF pursuant to Section 6.04, may be conclusively relied upon by any third party (without any further inquiry whatsoever) stating that any action or proposed action does not require the approval or consent of the Partners under this Agreement or that such approval or consent has been obtained, and any action taken by the General Partner in connection therewith shall in fact be the act of, and bind, the Company. The foregoing shall not relieve the General Partner from any liability it may have to the Company or the Partners if, in fact, such action or

- 31 -


 

proposed action did require the approval or consent of any Partner and such consent or approval was not obtained.
     6.10 Other Activities of Partners. Any Partner and its Affiliates may have other business interests and may engage in other business ventures of any nature or description whatsoever, whether presently existing or hereafter created, and whether or not competitive with the business of the Company or any Partner, provided, however, that during the term of this Agreement the General Partner and its Affiliates shall not acquire or own any office property in the DC Metropolitan Area, except as permitted in ARTICLE XIII below. The rights of NYSCRF under this Section 6.10 are personal to NYSCRF and shall not be enforceable by any assignee or transferee, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, of the rights of NYSCRF under this Agreement, other than a transferee of NYSCRF pursuant to Section 10.02(b).
     6.11 Withholding of Tax on Certain Company Distributions.
          (a) Unless treated as a Tax Payment Loan, any amount paid by the Company for or with respect to any Partner on account of any withholding tax or other tax payable with respect to the income, profits or distributions of the Company pursuant to the Code, the Regulations or any state or local statute, regulation or ordinance requiring such payment (a “Withholding Tax Act”) shall be treated as a distribution to such Partner for all purposes of this Agreement, consistent with the character or source of the income, profits or cash that gave rise to the payment or withholding obligation. To the extent that the amount required to be remitted by the Company under the Withholding Tax Act exceeds the amount then otherwise distributable to such Partner, unless and to the extent that funds shall have been provided by such Partner pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 6.11(a), the excess shall constitute a loan from the Company to such Partner (a “Tax Payment Loan”). Any such Tax Payment Loan shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest, from the date that the Company makes the payment to the relevant taxing authority, at the lesser of: (i) the Prime Rate plus two percentage points per annum, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law, compounded monthly (but in no event higher than the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law). During such time as any Tax Payment Loan to any Partner (or the interest thereon) remains unpaid, all future distributions otherwise to be made to such Partner under this Agreement shall be distributed for such Partner’s account by applying the amount of any such distributions first to the payment of any unpaid interest on such Tax Payment Loan and then to the repayment of the principal thereof, and no such future distributions shall be paid to such Partner until all of such principal and interest has been paid in full, but all such amounts shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be treated as a distribution to such Partner. If the amount required to be remitted by the Company under the Withholding Tax Act exceeds the amount then otherwise distributable to a Partner, the Company shall notify such Partner at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the date upon which the Company would be required to make a Tax Payment Loan under this Section 6.11(a) (the “Tax Payment Loan Date”) and provide such Partner the opportunity to pay to the Company on or before the Tax Payment Loan Date, all or a portion of such deficit. If any Tax Payment Loan is not fully repaid before the earlier of (a) removal of the Partner receiving the Tax Payment Loan, or (b) liquidation of the Company, such Partner shall remit any remaining portion of the principal and interests payable on the Tax Payment Loan to the Company.

- 32 -


 

          (b) The General Partner shall have the authority to take all actions necessary to enable the Company to comply with the provisions of any Withholding Tax Act applicable to the Company and to carry out the provisions of this Section 6.11. Nothing in this Section 6.11 shall create any obligation on the General Partner to advance funds to the Company or to borrow funds from third parties in order to make any payments on account of any liability of the Company under a Withholding Tax Act.
     6.12 Unrelated Business Taxable Income. The General Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid taking any action which it knows or reasonably should know would (a) cause any indebtedness of the Company to not qualify for the exception to “acquisition indebtedness” under Code Section 514(c)(9)(A), or (b) otherwise cause NYSCRF to have a substantial risk of recognizing UBTI (assuming, for this purpose, that NYSCRF is an organization subject to the tax imposed by Code Section 511(a)(1)), provided that any transaction which General Partner determines will create UBTI for NYSCRF shall require NYSCRF’s prior approval. By way of example and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner shall use its best efforts to ensure that:
          (a) With respect to any lease executed on behalf of the Company:
               (i) The determination of the amount of rent shall not be expressed in whole or in part as a percentage of the income or profits derived by the lessee from the space leased (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or gross sales);
               (ii) Not more than ten percent (10%) of the rent shall be expressly attributable to personal property, determined at the time the personal property is placed in service by the lessee (and not by reference to any allocation contained in the lease documents);
               (iii) If subleasing is permitted, the Company may not share in any net profit derived by the tenant from any sublease, and the tenant thereunder may not sublease all or any portion of its leasehold interest in violation of paragraph (i);
               (iv) No services shall be performed for the tenant other than services usually or customarily rendered to tenants in connection with office space; and
               (v) All tenant payments under the lease shall be designated as “rent” or “additional rent”.
          (b) The General Partner shall not engage in, or cause the Company to engage in, any activity that would cause all or any part of the Property to be considered stock in trade or other property of a kind which would properly be includable in inventory if on hand at the close of the taxable year or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business of the Company. NYSCRF acknowledges that a decision to sell or otherwise dispose of any property of the Company may cause the Company to engage in commercially reasonable sales activities and the Company and the General Partner are authorized to engage in such activities with respect to Company property to the extent that such sale is authorized or permitted under this Agreement.

- 33 -


 

          (c) With respect to any indebtedness incurred by the Company:
               (i) The price for any acquired or improved real property will be fixed at the time of the acquisition of the property or the time of the completion of any such improvement;
               (ii) The amount of any indebtedness or any other amount payable with respect to such indebtedness, or the time for making any payment of any such amount, shall not be dependent, in whole or in part, upon any revenue, income, or profits derived from such real property;
               (iii) Any property acquired by the Company will not be subsequently leased to the seller or to any person who bears a relationship to such seller that is described in Code Section 267(b) or 707(b);
               (iv) Any property of the Company will neither be acquired from nor leased to a person that bears a relationship to the Limited Partner or the Company which is described in subparagraph (C), (E) or (G) of Code Section 4975(e)(2) or a person that bears a relationship, which is described in subparagraph (F) or (H) of Code Section 4975(e)(2), to any person described in subparagraph (C), (E), or (G) of Code Section 4975(e)(2);
               (v) The Company will not incur indebtedness from any person described in Sections 6.12(c)(iii) or 6.12(c)(iv) in connection with any acquisition or any improvement to property; and
               (vi) The provisions of this Section 6.12(c) are intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 514(c)(9)(B) and should be construed thusly.
     With respect to the foregoing: (A) NYSCRF acknowledges that the requirements of Section 6.12(a) above are satisfied with respect to all existing leases of space in the Properties in effect as of the date of this Agreement and with respect to the standard forms of “Multi-Tenant Office Lease” and “Single-Tenant Office Lease” generally utilized by Affiliates of the General Partner, copies of which the General Partner has previously provided to NYSCRF; and (B) the General Partner shall notify NYSCRF of any proposed changes in the structure or operation of the Company not set forth in the Annual Business Plan that might cause the Company or NYSCRF to incur UBTI, and such change shall not be made without the prior approval of NYSCRF.
     6.13 Prohibited Transactions.
          (a) The General Partner shall use best efforts to avoid taking action which it knows or reasonably should know would constitute a prohibited transaction (within the meaning of Code Section 4975(c)) and would cause NYSCRF (assuming, for this purpose, that NYSCRF is a “plan” within the meaning of Code Section 4975(e)(1)) or any Person who is a disqualified person (within the meaning of Code Section 4975(e)(2)) with respect to NYSCRF to incur a tax under Code Section 4975, without NYSCRF’s prior approval.

- 34 -


 

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, other than Section 6.13(a), or any non-mandatory provision of the Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Company or any decision by the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Company, based on an opinion of tax counsel selected by the General Partner and reasonably acceptable to NYSCRF that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order to: (i) protect the ability of Liberty Property Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust which is the general partner of the sole member of Liberty Washington Venture, LLC, to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code, or (ii) avoid Liberty Property Trust incurring any material taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Partners.
          (c) At any time when a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Company is owned by an entity that has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall without the prior written consent of Liberty: (i) acquire any asset that is not described in Section 856(c)(4)(a) of the Code or any successor provision; (ii) enter into a loan secured by an interest in real property in which the Company would receive income from a “shared appreciation provision” as defined in Section 856(j)(5) of the Code; (iii) enter into a loan in which the interest income depends, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, on the income or profits of any person for purposes of Section 856(f) of the Code; (iv) enter into any lease involving real property where any portion of the rents would be excluded from the definition of “rents from real property” under Section 856(d)(2) of the Code; or (v) sell any property which, when sold, would constitute property described in Section 1221(1) of the Code, except when the net selling price is less than $10,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the provisions of Sections 856 or 857 of the Code are amended so that one of the requirements in clauses (i) through (v) above becomes irrelevant to the qualification of a REIT as a REIT under the Code and will not cause adverse tax consequences to a REIT if the requirement is not complied with, such provision shall no longer apply to the Company.
          (d) In making any determinations under this Agreement in which the classification of any entity as a “real estate investment trust” for federal income tax purposes is relevant, such determination or calculation shall be made by assuming that only the items reported on such entity’s federal income tax return are the items reported on the Partner’s Schedule K-1 received from the Company (or the entity’s distributive share of such items).
     6.14 Deemed Approval. NYSCRF shall be deemed to have approved and the General Partner shall not have any liability or responsibility under either Section 6.12 or Section 6.13, to the extent that the action which caused the Company or NYSCRF to incur UBTI or which constituted a prohibited transaction (a) received the approval of NYSCRF where such approval is required under this Agreement, or (b) resulted from the Company’s failure to take any action proposed by the General Partner and submitted to NYSCRF, if such failure was because such proposed action did not receive the approval of NYSCRF.
     6.15 Reporting Requirements. In addition to any other reporting obligations of the General Partner contained in this Agreement, the General Partner shall:
          (a) (1) notify NYSCRF of any material fire or other material damage to the Property, and in such event, arrange for an insurance adjuster reasonably acceptable to NYSCRF

- 35 -


 

to view the Property before repairs are started, but in no event shall Manager settle any losses, complete loss reports, adjust losses or endorse loss drafts in excess of $250,000 without NYSCRF’s prior consent; and (2) promptly notify NYSCRF after the General Partner becomes aware of any significant personal injury or property damage occurring to or claimed by any tenant or third party on or with respect to the Property;
          (b) notify NYSCRF of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against NYSCRF, or against Manager with respect to the operations of the Property, or otherwise affecting the Property, other than routine tort claims covered by insurance;
          (c) on or before the 15th day of each month, prepare and submit to NYSCRF a progress report on leasing activities at the Property for the preceding period, such report to be in the format customarily used by the General Partner and its Affiliates for its own portfolio; and
          (d) notify NYSCRF when the General Partner receives written notice of any material violation of law at any portion of the Property, as well as provide NYSCRF with evidence that the non-compliance has been remedied.
     6.16 Action by Partners. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Partners shall require the unanimous consent or approval of the Partners, unless otherwise required by the Act.
     6.17 Right to Disclose Information. The General Partner shall not be in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or any other obligations or duties to NYSCRF at law or in equity (whether under a theory of fiduciary duty or otherwise) if the General Partner or its Affiliates files this Agreement (and some or all of the exhibits hereto) as an exhibit to a filing it may make with the Securities Exchange Commission or makes disclosures regarding the transactions governed by this Agreement to the extent the General Partner or its Affiliates reasonably believe necessary to enable the General Partner or its Affiliates to comply with federal and state securities laws and the regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission, the rules of any stock exchange, or in connection with any filing or registration made by Liberty Property Trust, an Affiliate of the General Partner, as the issuer of publicly traded securities, or as part of information provided to its investors and/or financial analysts.
     6.18 Contracts with Affiliates. NYSCRF, acting alone, shall have the right on behalf of the Company to send any notice of default or termination, to institute or settle legal proceedings and/or to take such other action as may be necessary or appropriate to enforce the rights and protect the interests of the Company pursuant to any agreement with the General Partner or an Affiliate of the General Partner or with respect to any other rights or remedies of the Company running against or in connection with the General Partner or Affiliate of the General Partner.
     6.19 Loan Provisions.
          (a) Each Partner shall, in its reasonable discretion, cooperate to amend this Agreement and the Certificate of Limited Partnership if required to comply with the requirements of any lender providing mortgage financing to the Company in accordance with this Agreement.

- 36 -


 

          (b) The Partners acknowledge that the Liberty Loan was provided to the Company, and that (with the consent of NYSCRF, as set forth in Section 6.04(l)) future financing may be provided to the Company or any Entity, and/or serviced by an Affiliate of the General Partner (the “Affiliate Lender”). As a result, the interests of the Affiliate Lender, in its capacity as a lender, may be different from, or in conflict with, the interests of the Partners or the interests of the Company or any of their respective Affiliates. In recognition of the foregoing and in consideration of the Affiliate Lender providing or facilitating any such loan, the Partners acknowledge and agree that the Affiliate Lender is and will be entitled to enforce its rights under any existing or future loan (and ancillary security) documents with the Company and/or any Entity and will be entitled to pursue any and all remedies to which it is entitled (including calling a default under, accelerating or foreclosing on any collateral securing, such loan) even if doing so would be detrimental to or create a conflict with the Company and/or such Entity or any of its Partners, and each of the Partners waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any right to object to such enforcement, (ii) any right to assert a claim against the General Partner or its Affiliates as a result of such conflict of interest, and (iii) any claim for a breach of fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, lender liability, equitable subordination or other claims relating to or arising from the fact that the Affiliate Lender and its Affiliates would have an interest, directly or indirectly, as both a creditor and a Partner of the Company. In addition, the classification and treatment for income tax purposes of the Liberty Loan and any other financing provided by an Affiliate of the General Partner as non-recourse debt or non-recourse liability shall be made and governed by the Code.
     6.20 Project Financing.
          (a) The Partners expect that the Company will obtain, or cause certain of the Entities to obtain, debt financing in such amounts, from such lenders, with such security and on such terms and conditions as shall be determined in accordance with this Agreement (collectively with the Assumed Financing, the “Project Financing”).
          (b) All Project Financing will be non-recourse to the Company and to all Partners, except that the General Partner may elect, in its sole discretion, to provide one or more guarantors (the “Guarantors”) acceptable to the lender to be personally liable for: (i) fraud, environmental liability, misapplication of tenant security deposits and other types of liabilities (collectively the “Non-Recourse Carve Outs”) to be set forth in the documents and instruments evidencing the Project Financing, pursuant to provisions acceptable to the Guarantors; and/or (ii) for such other liabilities, if any, under the loan as the Guarantors may elect in their sole discretion, pursuant to documents acceptable to the Guarantors. The personal obligations of the Guarantors as set forth in such loan documents are referred to herein as the “Recourse Obligations.” The Partners confirm that LPLP serves as the Guarantor of the Recourse Obligations with respect to the Assumed Financing and, with respect to the Assumed Financing for WillowWood I-II, Liberty Property Trust also serves as a Guarantor of the Recourse Obligations.
          (c) With respect to all sums that at any time may be paid by a Guarantor on account of the Recourse Obligations, the Partners agree that: (i) the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold the Guarantor harmless from and against all such liabilities and all costs and expenses arising therefrom, (ii) NYSCRF shall indemnify, defend and hold the Guarantor

- 37 -


 

harmless from and against all such liabilities and all costs and expenses arising from the gross negligence, actual fraud, material, deliberate and willful breach of this Agreement, or intentional tortious misconduct of NYSCRF that triggers liability under the Recourse Obligations, and (iii) the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the holder of the Project Financing with respect thereto; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of (i) and (ii) above shall not apply to any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Guarantor resulting from its or its Affiliate’s gross negligence, actual fraud, material, deliberate or willful breach of this Agreement, its guaranty of the Recourse Obligations or any other documents evidencing the Project Financing, or intentional tortious misconduct; and provided further that subrogation rights of the Guarantor shall be totally subordinated in all respect to the rights of the holder of the Project Financing and shall not be enforceable until satisfaction of all obligations of the Company and the borrower Entity under the Project Financing.
          (d) At any time while the Recourse Obligations are outstanding in whole or in part, the Company shall not be authorized to take, and the General Partner shall not permit the Company or any Entity to take, any action that would result in the triggering of liability under the Non-Recourse Carve Outs, without the prior written consent of the Guarantors, which may be withheld for any reason or no reason. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the consent of the Guarantors, the Company and the Entity shall not be authorized to commence and the General Partner shall not commence, any voluntary proceeding for bankruptcy, reorganization or similar relief, and shall not consent to any involuntary petition for such relief if such action would trigger any liability under the Recourse Obligations. The Partners expressly waive any rights that they may have at any time, whether under a theory of fiduciary duty or under any other legal or equitable principle, to compel the Partnership or the Entity to commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding or themselves to initiate an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, or to assert any claims against the General Partner or its Affiliates for the failure to file a voluntary proceeding.
     6.21 Title Holding Subsidiaries. Title to each Property may be held by a separate, single purpose, limited liability company or partnership that is wholly owned by, and whose only members, partners and/or managers are, the Company and other limited liability companies wholly owned (directly or indirectly) by the Company (each a “Title Holding Subsidiary”). It shall be the General Partner’s duty and responsibility to duly form and maintain each Title Holding Subsidiary and cause each Title Holding Subsidiary to be and remain in good standing in its state of organization and qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which it owns property or otherwise conducts business, to obtain appropriate employer and/or tax identification numbers (to the extent required) for the Title Holding Subsidiary, and the like. The rights, duties, responsibilities and authority of the Partners with respect to Title Holding Subsidiaries and Properties owned through a Title Holding Subsidiary shall be identical to their respective rights, duties, responsibilities and authority with respect to the Company and Properties owned directly by the Company. Any provision of this Agreement giving the Partners the right or authority to take any action or refrain from taking any action, or cause the Company to take any action or refrain from taking any action, shall be interpreted to give them the identical right or authority with respect to the appropriate Title Holding Subsidiary. Any provision of this Agreement imposing any duty or responsibility on the Partners, or limiting their respective rights or authority, with respect to Properties owned directly by the Company shall be interpreted to impose the identical duty, responsibility or limitation on them with respect to Properties owned

The Tax Matters Partner shall manage audits of the Company conducted by the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental agency pursuant to the audit procedures under the Code and the regulations issued thereunder, provided that the Tax Matters Partner shall not settle any matter with the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental agency without the consent of NYSCRF, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company, through the Tax Matters Partner, is authorized to cooperate with and to monitor the Internal Revenue Service in any audit that the Internal Revenue Service may conduct of the Company’s books and records and information or other returns filed by the Company. The Tax Matters Partner shall take all actions necessary to preserve the rights of the Partners with respect to audits and shall provide the Partners with any notices of such proceedings and other information as required by law. The Tax Matters Partner shall keep the Partners timely informed of its activities under this Section. The Company, through the Tax Matters Partner, may similarly cooperate with and monitor any audit by any other governmental authority and prepare and file protests or other appropriate responses to such audits. All costs incurred in connection with the foregoing activities, including legal and accounting costs, shall be borne by the Company. Any additional expenses with respect to judicial review of adverse determinations in connection with any such tax audits or the defense of any Partner against any claim asserted by the Internal Revenue Service or other tax authority of additional tax liability arising out of its ownership of its interest in the Company shall be borne by the Partner who wishes to proceed with such judicial review or defense. Unless otherwise expressly prohibited or restricted pursuant to this Agreement, the Tax Matters Partner may make, refrain from making, or revoke any and all tax elections which it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, on behalf of the Company.
          (c) Neither the Company nor any Partner shall take any action that would result in the Company being taxed as other than a “partnership” for federal income tax purposes, including (but not limited to) electing to be taxed as other than a “partnership” by making such an election on Form 8832, “Entity Classification Election.”
     8.07 Certain Elections.
          (a) In the event that a distribution of any of the Company’s assets is made in the manner provided in Code Section 734, where a transfer of an interest in the Company permitted by this Agreement is made in the manner provided in Code Section 743, or in any other circumstance permitting an election to be made under Section 754 of the Code, then, upon the request and at the expense of any Partner, the Company shall file an election under Code Section 754, in accordance with procedures set forth in the applicable Regulations. The Partners’ Capital Accounts shall be adjusted in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m). Each Partner shall provide the Company with all information necessary to give effect to any election under Code Section 754.
          (b) In the event of any change in the Code or Regulations which could affect any Partner and with respect to which the Company may elect to either have such change apply, or not apply, then the Company will make such election or not make such election in a manner that the tax provisions contained in this Agreement shall remain in effect unless all of the Partners agree that the Company should make such election or not make such election in another

- 43 -


 

manner; provided, however, that if NYSCRF (at its expense) obtains an opinion, from recognized tax counsel selected by NYSCRF and reasonably satisfactory to the General Partners, that solely on account of the Company’s making the election or the Company’s failing to make the election will (based upon the assumptions set forth in Section 6.12) cause (i) the allocations to NYSCRF under ARTICLE IV to be UBTI, (ii) NYSCRF no longer to be a “qualified organization” (within the meaning of Code Section 514(c)(9)(C)), or (iii) any indebtedness of the Company to not qualify for the exceptions to “acquisition indebtedness” under Code Section 514(c)(9)(A), then the Company shall make such election or refrain from making such election in the manner specified by NYSCRF, and the Partners shall promptly modify this Agreement in a manner to maintain as nearly as possibly the same economic effect on the Partners as would have existed had such election been made or not been made, as the case may be, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, but in no event shall such change have a negative economic impact on the General Partner.
          (c) ERISA Representations. NYSCRF, in connection with representations made or that may be made to one or more Lenders regarding the status of the Company as not being an employee benefit plan as defined in ERISA, and regarding the Company’s assets not being considered to be “plan assets” pursuant to certain Department of Labor Regulations, represents and warrants to the Company and the General Partner that NYSCRF is a governmental plan as defined in section 3(32) of ERISA.
ARTICLE IX

     9.03 Remedies Reserved. Upon any Default by any Partner, such Partner shall no longer have the right to vote on, consent to, approve or otherwise take part in any decision of the Partners, and, in addition, the other Partners shall each have the rights and remedies specified herein as well as those available to non-defaulting Partners as a matter of law or equity; provided, however, that if the defaulting Partner is the General Partner, then it shall continue to have all of the management rights of the General Partner under this Agreement, and provided further than if the default by the General Partner constitutes fraud, the General Partner’s management of the affairs of the Company shall be subject to the reasonable oversight of the Advisor.

For purposes of the foregoing, a change in the trustee of any trust that is a Partner or an Affiliate of any Partner shall not be treated as a Transfer.
          (b) Except as provided in Section 10.02, no Partner may Transfer its Partnership Interest, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, without the approval of the other Partners and, if required by any loan documents entered into by the Company, any third party lender.

          (c) Upon any Transfer undertaken in accordance with Section 10.02, the transferring Partner shall promptly deliver to the non-transferring Partner (i) an assignment and assumption agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the non-transferring Partner, whereby the transferring Partner assigns, and the transferee accepts and assumes, all of the transferring Partner’s rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder, and (ii) the other instruments contemplated by Sections 10.04(b)-(f); provided the requirements of Section 10.04(a) shall not apply to any such Transfer. Upon the delivery to the non-transferring Partner of the instruments referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) above, if the transfer results in a new Partner (as opposed to the acquisitions of interests in the existing Partner), the transferring Partner shall withdraw from the Company in accordance with Section 10.03 and be released from all liability hereunder, and the transferee shall be deemed admitted as a Partner pursuant to Section 10.04 and shall be deemed to have assumed all of the rights, duties, obligations and liabilities of the transferring Partner under this Agreement.
          (d) Anything in this Section 10.02, or otherwise in this Agreement, to the contrary notwithstanding, no Transfer or assignment of a Partnership Interest shall be made (i) if such Transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market” (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code or such Transfer causes the Company to be taxed as a “publicly traded partnership” as such term is defined in Sections 469(k)(2) or 7704(b) of the Code; or (ii) if such Transfer, in the opinion of counsel selected by the General Partner and reasonably acceptable to NYSCRF, would not allow Liberty Property Trust to continue to be taxed as a REIT under the Code or would subject Liberty Property Trust to any material taxes under Sections 857 or 4981 of the Code..
     10.03 Withdrawal of a Partner. A Partner may voluntarily withdraw from the Company only upon a Transfer of all of such Partner’s Partnership Interest in accordance with this

- 46 -

Any Person to whom all of a Partnership Interest has been transferred pursuant to Section 10.01(b) or Section 10.02 shall be admitted as a substituted Partner as a result of such transfer to the extent of the Partnership Interest so transferred only upon the satisfaction of all of the following conditions:
          (a) The unanimous approval of the other Partners, provided however, that no Partner shall unreasonably withhold its approval to any transferee becoming a substituted Partner if such transferee in the reasonable judgment of the General Partner has (together with any guarantor of its obligations) a net worth sufficient to fund any outstanding obligations it might have under this Agreement and expressly agrees in writing to fulfill such obligations;
          (b) Such transferee’s written acceptance of, and written agreement to be bound by, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
          (c) Reasonable evidence of the authority of such transferee to become a Partner and to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
          (d) The approval of any third party lender if required by any loan documents entered into by the Company;
          (e) An opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company that such transfer, and the transferee’s participation in the Company as a Partner, will not (A) adversely affect the status of a Partner as a REIT (if it is not the transferor), or (B) violate any then applicable Federal or other securities laws or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities commission of any other jurisdiction; and
          (f) The satisfaction of such additional requirements as any Partner may reasonably determine to assure itself that neither it nor the Company will incur any new or additional liability or obligation as a result of such transfer or purchase.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any transferee who does not become a substituted Partner shall be only entitled to receive the share of Profits, Losses and distributions of the Company to which the transferor was entitled with respect to the Partnership Interest so transferred, and shall not have any right to vote on, consent to, approve or otherwise take part in any decision of the Partners, or to any of the other rights associated with the ownership of such Partnership Interest.

NYSCRF will respond with its approval or disapproval of each Acquisition Plan (or of each property that is the subject thereof, if more than one) within twenty-five (25) days after receipt of the Acquisition Plan (and NYSCRF shall have the full 25 day period to respond and elect to participate in the project even if a shorter period is indicated or identified by the Acquisition Plan). If NYSCRF fails to respond in such twenty-five (25) day period, it shall be deemed to have disapproved such Acquisition Plan. The Company shall not undertake the acquisition of any land or buildings unless the acquisition has been recommended by the General Partner and approved by NYSCRF, either pursuant to the Annual Budget process or pursuant to an Acquisition Plan. Due diligence respecting the acquisition of Vacant Land, property suitable as Redevelopment Property and Functional Office Property shall be undertaken in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit K.
          (b) If the General Partner identifies land in the DC Metropolitan Area that may be suitable for development as an office building but requires rezoning or other entitlements that are not available as a matter of right as a condition to such a development and use (a “Speculative Parcel”), the General Partner (or its Affiliate) shall be free to acquire the Speculative Parcel for its own account and to pursue all appropriate rezoning, variances or other entitlements necessary for such development and use. If the General Partner subsequently determines that the necessary entitlements will not be readily obtainable or that the Speculative Parcel is not otherwise suitable or feasible for development as an office building, the General Partner (or its Affiliate) shall be free to sell the Speculative Parcel to any third party on terms acceptable to the General Partner and such third party. If the General Partner subsequently obtains the necessary entitlements for development and use of the Speculative Parcel as an office building, the General Partner (or its Affiliate) shall offer the Speculative Parcel for sale to the Company at a price equal to the fair market value of the Speculative Parcel, and the General Partner shall prepare and submit to NYSCRF an Acquisition Plan with respect thereto. The General Partner and NYSCRF shall endeavor in good faith to agree upon the fair market value of the Speculative Parcel (as approved with such entitlements), but in no event shall the fair market value of the Speculative Parcel be less than the sum of (i) the purchase price paid therefor by the General Partner, plus (ii) all carrying costs incurred with respect to the Speculative Parcel, plus (iii) all out of pocket costs incurred by the General Partner to obtain the necessary entitlements. If the parties fail to agree on the fair market value of the Speculative Parcel within sixty (60) days after the submission of the aforementioned Acquisition Plan, the parties shall endeavor in good faith to select a qualified appraiser with substantial appraisal experience in the DC Metropolitan Area commercial real estate market to determine the fair market value of the Speculative Parcel, and the determination of such appraiser shall be final. If the parties do not agree on the designation of a single appraiser, each party shall appoint a separate qualified appraiser, and the appraisers so appointed shall mutually select a third qualified appraiser with substantial appraisal experience in the DC Metropolitan Area commercial real estate market, and the determination of fair market value by such third appraiser shall be final
          (c) If NYSCRF disapproves the acquisition of the Speculative Parcel or a parcel identified as the subject of an Acquisition Plan (an “Acquisition Parcel”) by the Company, the General Partner (or its Affiliate) shall be free to acquire and develop the Speculative Parcel

or Acquisition Parcel for its own account substantially in accordance with the information submitted to NYSCRF in the Acquisition Plan.
     13.04 Initiation of New Developments and Redevelopments. Upon the General Partner’s determination that it is appropriate to initiate a New Development on any of the Vacant Land Properties or to initiate the rehabilitation of a Redevelopment Property (a “Redevelopment”), the General Partner shall so notify NYSCRF in writing, which notice shall be accompanied by the following (collectively, a “Development Plan”): (a) Preliminary Plans and Specifications, (b) leasing commitments, if any, (c) a Preliminary Project Budget, including a pro forma operating budget, (d) a description of the office market and leasing conditions for the market in which the New Development or Redevelopment is located, (e) a proposed Sources and Uses of Funds, identifying any construction financing proposed by the General Partner for funding some or all of the costs of such project, and (f) any other information in the General Partner’s or its Affiliates’ possession which would be relevant to NYSCRF’s decision to approve the Company’s proceeding with such New Development or Redevelopment. Within thirty-five (35) days after receipt, NYSCRF shall elect either (i) to fund its Percentage Interest of the cost of the New Development or Redevelopment pursuant to Section 3.02(a) and approve the General Partner or its Affiliate acting as Development Manager pursuant to a Development Management Agreement, or (ii) to permit the General Partner or its Affiliate to develop the designated site for its own account. If NYSCRF fails to respond within such thirty-five-day period, it shall be deemed to have made the election under clause (ii) above. Due diligence respecting the construction of improvements on Vacant Land shall be undertaken in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit L.
     13.05 [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.]
     13.06 Disapproval of Proposed New Development or Redevelopment. If NYSCRF does not approve a New Development or Redevelopment, the General Partner or its Affiliate may, within thirty (30) days after NYSCRF has disapproved the New Development or Redevelopment or after expiration of the period during which NYSCRF is required to notify the General Partner of its approval, purchase the Vacant Land Property or Redevelopment Property (whichever is appropriate) on which the New Development or Redevelopment was proposed by the General Partner, for purposes of developing it in accordance with the Development Plan that was submitted to NYSCRF under Section 13.04. The purchase price (the “GP Price”) shall be the sum of (i) the cost to the Company for such Property, (ii) all non-interest carrying costs incurred by the Company related to its ownership of such Property such as real estate taxes, security, maintenance and insurance, (iii) interest on the amount referenced in (i) at the simple rate of

- 53 -


 

seven percent (7%) per annum from the date of the Company’s acquisition of the subject Property, and (iv) all transfer costs incurred as part of the conveyance, with the exception of title costs and transfer taxes, which shall be shared by the Company and the General Partner, as seller and buyer respectively, in a manner consistent with local custom.
     13.07 First Refusal and Repurchase Rights. With respect to any New Development or Redevelopment that is disapproved (or deemed disapproved) by NYSCRF pursuant to Section 13.04 and with respect to which the General Partner or its Affiliate has elected to purchase the underlying Property as permitted in Section 13.06, the Company and NYSCRF shall have the following rights, which will be memorialized in an instrument placed of record against the Property being transferred:
          (a) [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.]
          (b) [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.]
          (c) [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.]

     14.11 Headings.

     14.15 Affirmative Action Policy. The Partners recognize the benefits of affirmative action in fostering opportunities for the equal participation of minority and women-owned business enterprises, and minority and women employees and principals are given the opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts entered into by the Company. This Company believes the opportunity for full participation in the free enterprise system by persons traditionally, socially and economically disadvantaged is essential to obtain social and economic equality. Accordingly, it is the policy of the Company to foster and promote the participation of such individuals and business enterprises in its contracts. The Company expects all concerned to afford all persons equal employment opportunities without discrimination.
     14.16 Advisor. NYSCRF has informed the General Partner, and the General Partner acknowledges, that NYSCRF has engaged the services of Heitman Capital Management LLC (who, together with any other entity hereafter appointed by Limited Partner, is referred to herein

- 57 -


 

as “Advisor”) in connection with this Agreement. NYSCRF has named Anthony Ferrante, Jerome J. Claeys and Howard Edelman (representatives of Advisor) to act as its representatives. The General Partner agrees that, notwithstanding the identification of the representatives of NYSCRF, other individuals representing NYSCRF (individually, a “CRF Representative” and, collectively, “CRF Representatives”) shall be entitled to participate in meetings and other communications between any the General Partner and NYSCRF, and that any information provided to NYSCRF’s representatives shall concurrently be provided to any CRF Representative identified in writing to the General Partner. The General Partner shall have the right to rely on the written approval or disapproval of any matter from the NYSCRF representatives identified in this Section or otherwise designated by NYSCRF and identified to the General Partner in writing.

Any decision to insure the Properties below these minimum standards shall be subject to the approval of both the General Partner and NYSCRF.
     14.18 Legal Representation of the Company. Wolf, Block, Schorr and Solis-Cohen LLP (“Wolf Block”) represented the General Partner in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, and the parties agree that such representation will not disqualify Wolf Block from representing the Company. Furthermore, if Wolf Block is engaged by the Company to represent the Company, Wolf Block will not be disqualified from thereafter representing the General Partner or its Affiliate; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to waive any objection NYSCRF may have with respect to the representation by Wolf Block of (i) the General Partner or its Affiliate in litigation against the Company, or (ii) the Company in litigation against the General Partner or its Affiliate.
     14.19 Special Covenants. So long as any of the Properties is subject to mortgage financing requiring the borrower to be a “single purpose entity”, the Company shall cause the Subsidiary that is the subject of such loan to comply with (and to the extent required by the applicable loan documents, the Company shall comply with) the single purpose entity requirements set forth in the loan document for such financing.

          (d) In the event of any post-Closing increase or decrease in the amount of transfer tax payable hereunder, the parties hereto shall pay or be reimbursed for such increase or decrease, as the case may be, in accordance with, and in proportion to, each party’s obligation as set forth in this Section 6.4. This Section 6.4(d) shall survive Closing.
     7. PRORATIONS
     7.1 Initial Proration. Within [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.] days after the Closing Date, the parties shall prorate the following items as of the Closing Date:
          (a) Taxes. All real estate taxes with respect to the Property shall be prorated between Liberty and the Company as of the Closing Date.
          (b) Rents. Rent shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, except that no proration shall be made for rents delinquent as of the Closing Date (hereinafter called the “Delinquent Rents”). The Company shall have no liability to Liberty for the Delinquent Rents and shall have no obligation to collect same, provided, however, amounts collected by the Company or the Entities from tenants owing Delinquent Rents shall be applied first to rents owed by such tenant accruing from and after the Closing Date and then to Delinquent Rents. Any such amounts applicable to Delinquent Rents received by the Company or the Entities shall be forwarded to Liberty within fifteen (15) days of receipt thereof. Liberty reserves the right to pursue legal remedies against tenants owing Delinquent Rents so long as pursuit of its legal remedies does not cause the tenant to be evicted.
          (c) Operating Costs. All operating expenses, including utilities (to the extent not paid directly by tenants), maintenance and other operating costs and expenses incurred by the Entities in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Property shall be prorated between Liberty and the Company as of the Closing.
          (d) Insurance Premiums. Insurance premiums shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.
          (e) Other Income and Expenses. All other income from, and expenses of, the Property, including but not limited to public utility charges, maintenance charges and service

16


 

charges, shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and the Company shall assume such expenses for periods subsequent to Closing.
          (f) Federal, State and Local Taxes. To the maximum extent permissible, for Federal, State and local tax purposes the parties will cause the Entities and their subsidiaries to treat the Closing Date as the beginning of a fiscal period. Liberty will file all returns and pay all taxes owing for periods through the day preceding the Closing Date and the Company will file all returns and pay all taxes owing for periods beginning with the Closing Date. If and to the extent that such filing of separate returns is not permitted by any taxing authority, and as to any tax that applies to a period both before and after the Closing Date, the parties will cooperate in the furnishing of information necessary to the preparation and filing of returns, and will pay their respective shares of tax liability in proportion to their respective shares of the thing taxed (for example, gross receipts or net income). The obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive Closing until each such tax return has been filed, all such taxes owing have been paid and such returns and payments are no longer subject to contest by the taxing authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for tax purposes, closing shall be deemed to occur at 11:59 p.m. (local Washington, D.C. time) on the day preceding the Closing Date.
          (g) Assumed Financing. Interest, credits, costs and expenses (other than the costs and expenses described in Section 6.4(b)(iii), which shall be the sole obligation of the Company) related to the Assumed Financing will be adjusted and apportioned between Liberty and the Company in accordance with the following: (i) prepaid interest will be paid to Liberty by the Company and accrued, but unpaid interest will be paid by Liberty with both to be apportioned as of the day preceding the Closing Date; and (ii) Liberty will be entitled to receive the amounts (including accrued interest) of any escrow and other sums on deposit with a lender under the Assumed Financing (including any escrow reserves) when disbursed by the holder of such Assumed Financing.
     7.2 Adjustments; Reproration. After receipt of final financial statements for the Entities for the current year or applicable fiscal period, Liberty shall prepare and present to NYSCRF a calculation of the reproration of the profits and losses of the Entities to be passed through to the Company. The parties shall make the appropriate adjusting payment between them within 30 days after presentment to NYSCRF of Liberty’s calculation. This provision shall survive the Closing.
     7.3 Indemnity.
          (a) Except for items to be prorated and reprorated by Liberty and NYSCRF pursuant to this Article 7, Liberty hereby assumes full responsibility for any and all demands, claims, legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with the ownership of the Interests, Entities or the Property first arising or accruing prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, the Existing Litigation. Liberty also agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Company and NYSCRF harmless from any claims, liabilities or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from Liberty’s failure to perform said obligations.
          (b) Except for items to be prorated and reprorated by Liberty and NYSCRF pursuant to this Article 7, the Company hereby assumes full responsibility for any and all demands, claims, legal or administrative proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, liens, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs), whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen (“Losses

17


 

and Liabilities”), which may arise on account of or in any way be connected with the ownership of the Property first arising or accruing on or after to the Closing Date, excluding, however, any Liberty Losses and Liabilities (hereinafter defined). The Company also agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Liberty harmless from any claims, liabilities or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from the Company’s failure to perform said obligations, provided the same do not arise on account of Liberty Losses and Liabilities. As used herein, “Liberty Losses and Liabilities” are any Losses and Liabilities which may arise on account of or in any way be connected with any action by Liberty or the LLC (a) that was not taken in the reasonable belief that it was within their scope of authority under the Partnership Agreement, (b) constituting fraud, bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct, or a breach of the standards set forth in Section 6.02(d) of the Partnership Agreement, or (c) in violation of securities laws or criminal laws.
          (c) The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall survive the Closing.
     8. SURVIVAL
     8.1 Survival. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all warranties representations, covenants, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year and any right of action for the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein shall not merge with the Assignment but shall survive the Closing for such one (1) year period and may be enforced by the Company. In addition to all other remedies that NYSCRF and/or the Company may have at law or in equity, the Company may offset any final, non-appealable judgment it obtains against Liberty against any distributions due to Liberty from the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1(a) shall survive the Closing.

     11. TERMINATION AND REMEDIES
     11.1 Liberty’s Default.
          (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.1(b) below, if Liberty has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to any of the provisions hereof authorizing such termination, and if prior to or at the Closing Liberty defaults hereunder or shall have failed to have performed any of the material covenants and/or agreements contained herein that are to be performed by Liberty at or prior to the Closing, or if any warranty or representation made by Liberty herein is not true and correct in all material respects, NYSCRF may, at its option, as its sole and exclusive remedies, either (i) seek specific performance of this Agreement, or (ii) terminate this Agreement.
          (b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.1(a) to the contrary, NYSCRF will, prior to the exercise of the remedies contained in Section 11.1(a), give Liberty written notice (“NYSCRF’s Default Notice”) specifying the nature of such default. Until the date that is five (5) days after receipt of NYSCRF’s Default Notice, Liberty may, at its option, elect to cure such default or waive the option to cure the default; provided, however, Liberty’s failure to give NYSCRF written notice of its election within this time period shall be deemed an election by Liberty to waive its right to cure the default. If Liberty waives or is deemed to have waived its right to cure the default, NYSCRF shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the remedies in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1(a). If Liberty elects to cure the default specified in NYSCRF’s Default Notice, Liberty shall commence to cure such default within fifteen (15) days from the date of such election and diligently pursue such cure to completion within forty-five (45) days (“Liberty’s Cure Period”). If Liberty fails to cure such default within Liberty’s Cure Period to NYSCRF’s reasonable satisfaction, NYSCRF may exercise its remedies in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1(a) hereof.
     11.2 NYSCRF’s Default.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.2(a) to the contrary, Liberty will, prior to the exercise of the remedies contained in Section 11.2(a), give NYSCRF written notice (“Liberty’s Default Notice”) specifying the nature of such default. Until the date that is five (5)

19


 

days after receipt of Liberty’s Default Notice, NYSCRF may, at its option, elect to cure such default or waive the option to cure the default; provided, however, NYSCRF’s failure to give Liberty written notice of its election within this time period shall be deemed an election by NYSCRF to waive its right to cure the default. If NYSCRF waives or is deemed to have waived its right to cure the default, Liberty shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the remedies in accordance with the terms of Section 11.2(a). If NYSCRF elects to cure the default specified in Liberty’s Default Notice, NYSCRF shall commence to cure such default within fifteen (15) days from the date of such election and shall thereafter diligently pursue such cure to completion within forty-five (45) days (“NYSCRF’s Cure Period”).

     11.3 Costs and Expenses; Limitation. In the event of any default or alleged default by either Liberty or NYSCRF hereunder that results in a party seeking to exercise its rights or remedies pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 above, the prevailing party under this Agreement shall be able to recover from the non-prevailing party on demand all actual, reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses actually paid or incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the exercise of its remedies hereunder including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Except only for NYSCRF’s Partnership Interest in the Company, no assets of NYSCRF may be liened, encumbered, attached, levied or executed upon to satisfy any liability of or judgment against NYSCRF arising out of this Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection with this Agreement. This Section 11.4 shall survive Closing.
     12. RISK OF LOSS
     If, prior to Closing, the Property or any part thereof shall be condemned or destroyed or materially damaged by fire or other casualty (that is, damage or destruction that NYSCRF reasonably estimates will cost in excess of [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.] to repair or restore or that materially impedes access to the Property or any material part thereof), NYSCRF shall elect to do one of the following, which election shall be made not later than the later of (i) ten (10) days prior to Closing, or (ii) ten (10) days following the date NYSCRF receives written notice of the condemnation or material damage: (A) terminate this Agreement as to the Contributed Entity that owns the affected Parcel only, whereupon the parties shall negotiate an equitable reduction in the Contribution Amount hereunder or, if the parties do not reach agreement on such a reduction within thirty (30) days after such casualty, NYSCRF shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in its entirety; or (B) consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without terminating this Agreement as to the affected Parcel notwithstanding such condemnation, destruction or material damage. If NYSCRF elects to consummate the

20


 

transaction contemplated by this Agreement without terminating this Agreement as to the Contributed Entity that owns the affected Parcel, the Company shall be entitled to receive all of the condemnation proceeds or settle the loss under all policies of insurance applicable to the destruction or damage and receive all of the proceeds of insurance applicable thereto, and Liberty shall, at Closing and thereafter, execute and deliver to the Company all required proofs of loss, assignments of claims and other similar items. If there is any other damage or destruction (that is, damage or destruction that NYSCRF reasonably estimates will cost [The confidential material contained herein has been omitted and has been separately filed with the Commission.] or less to repair or restore, or that does not materially impede access to the Property or any material part thereof), Liberty shall either completely repair or cause to be repaired such damage prior to Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to NYSCRF or, at NYSCRF’s option, assign all insurance claims pertaining to such damage or destruction to the Company by executing and delivering to the Company at Closing and thereafter all required proofs of loss, assignments of claims and other similar items.

          (b) Assumption of Defense.
               (i) If a party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) notifies the party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim, demand, action, administrative or legal proceeding, investigation or allegation adverse to the Indemnified Party and as to which the indemnity provided for in Section 13.4(a) applies (a “Potential Claim”), Indemnifying Party shall assume on behalf of Indemnified Party and conduct with due diligence and in good faith the investigation and defense thereof and the response thereto and shall be entitled, at Indemnifying Party’s sole discretion, to settle or otherwise dispose of any such Potential Claim; provided, that Indemnifying Party shall have the right to cure such matter that is the subject of the Potential Claim (subject to the rights of the owner of the Property at the time of such cure to approve the manner of such cure) if such cure will not result in additional liability or material loss of rights to Indemnified Party, and provided further that Indemnified Party have the right to be represented by advisory counsel of its own selection and at its own expense; and provided further, that if any such claim, demand, action, proceeding, investigation or allegation involves both Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party and Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are inconsistent with or in addition to those available to Indemnifying Party, then Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnifying Party to participate in the investigation and defense of and response to such claim, demand, action, proceeding, investigation or allegation on its own behalf at Indemnifying Party’s expense.
               (ii) If any claim, demand, action, proceeding, investigation or allegation arises as to which the indemnity provided for in this Section 13.4 applies, and Indemnifying Party fails to assume as soon as reasonably practical the defense of Indemnified Party, then Indemnified Party may contest (or, with the prior written consent of Indemnifying Party, settle) the claim, demand, action, proceeding, investigation or allegation at Indemnifying Party’s expense using counsel selected by Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to Indemnifying Party.
          (c) Notice of Losses. If Indemnified Party receives a written notice of Losses that Indemnified Party believes are covered by this Section 13.4, then Indemnified Party shall promptly furnish a copy of such notice to Indemnifying Party. The failure to so provide a copy of the notice to Indemnifying Party shall not excuse Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Section 13.4; provided, that if Indemnifying Party is unaware of the matters described in the notice and such failure renders unavailable defenses that Indemnifying Party might otherwise assert, or precludes actions that Indemnifying Party might otherwise take to minimize its obligations hereunder, then Indemnifying Party shall be excused from its obligation to indemnify Indemnified Party against assessments, fines, costs and expenses, if any, which would not have been incurred but for such failure. For example, if Indemnified Party fails to provide Indemnifying Party with a copy of a notice of an obligation covered by the indemnity set out in Sections 13.4(a) and Indemnifying Party is not otherwise already aware of such obligation, and if as a result of such failure Indemnified Party becomes liable for penalties and interest covered by the indemnity in excess of the penalties and interest that would have accrued if Indemnifying Party had been promptly provided with a copy of the notice, then Indemnifying Party will be excused from any obligation to Indemnified Party to pay the excess and Indemnified Party shall indemnify Indemnifying Party with respect to any such excess.
          (d) Rights Cumulative. The rights of NYSCRF and the Company under this Article 13 shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies of NYSCRF and the Company against Liberty pursuant to CERCLA and NYSCRF and the Company each expressly retain any right of reimbursement or contribution thereunder.
