INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING

What am I Voting on?

     Our Board of Trustees is soliciting your vote for:

  The election of 10 trustees to serve as members of our Board of Trustees until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are elected and qualified; and
     
  Ratification of the Audit Committee’s appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2006.

     If any other matter should be properly presented at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting for action by the shareholders, the representatives holding proxies will vote the proxy in accordance with their best judgment on such matter.

Who is Entitled to Vote?

     Holders of common shares of record as of the close of business on March 23, 2006 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Common shares can be voted only if the shareholder is present in person or is represented by proxy at the Meeting. As of the record date, 91,214,820 common shares were issued and outstanding.

How do I Vote?

     You may have your common shares voted at the Meeting by submitting your proxy by any of the following methods:

  Voting by Mail. If you choose to vote by mail, simply complete the enclosed proxy card, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you sign your proxy card and return it without marking any voting instructions, your shares will be voted FOR the election of all Trustee nominees and FOR ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2006. If any other matter should be properly presented at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting for action by the shareholders, the representatives holding proxies will vote the proxy in accordance with their best judgment on such matter.
     
  Voting by Telephone. You may vote your shares by telephone by calling the toll-free telephone number provided on the proxy card. Telephone voting is available 24 hours a day, and the procedures are designed to authenticate votes cast by using a personal identification number located on the proxy card. The procedures allow you to appoint a proxy to vote your shares and to confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote by telephone, you should not return your proxy card.
     
  Voting by Internet. You may vote your shares through the Internet by signing on to the website identified on the proxy card and following the procedures described in the website. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day, and the procedures are designed to authenticate votes cast by using a personal identification number located on the proxy card. The procedures allow you to appoint a proxy to vote your shares and to confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote through the Internet, you should not return your proxy card.

     You may also attend the Meeting and vote your common shares in person. If you are a shareholder whose shares are held in “street name” (i.e., in the name of a broker, bank or other record holder) you must either direct the record holder of your shares how to vote your shares or obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the record holder to be able to vote at the Meeting.

How You May Revoke or Change Your Vote

     You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Meeting by any of the following methods:

  Submitting a later-dated proxy by mail, over the telephone or through the Internet.
     
  Sending a written notice, including by telegram or telecopy, to our Secretary. You must send any written notice of a revocation of a proxy so as to be delivered before the taking of the vote at the Meeting to:
   
      Brandywine Realty Trust
401 Plymouth Road, Suite 500
Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania 19462
Attention: Brad A. Molotsky, Secretary
     
  Attending the Meeting and voting in person. Your attendance at the Meeting will not in and of itself revoke your proxy. You must also vote your shares at the Meeting. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other record holder, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the record holder to be able to vote at the Meeting.

What Constitutes a Quorum?

     A quorum of common shareholders is required to hold a valid meeting of shareholders. The holders of a majority of the outstanding common shares entitled to vote at the Meeting must be present in person or by proxy to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. All valid proxies returned will be included in the determination of whether a quorum is present at the Meeting. Unless a quorum is present at the Meeting, no action may be taken at the Meeting except the adjournment thereof to a later time. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted for purposes of determining a quorum. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank or broker holding shares for a beneficial shareholder does not vote on a particular proposal because the bank or broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to the item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial shareholder.

What Vote is Required to Approve Each Proposal?

     Voting Rights. Each Common Share is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on at the Meeting. Shareholders have no cumulative voting rights.

     Election of Trustees. Trustees are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting. Any shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote, or otherwise) will have no impact on the vote. Shares represented by proxies marked “For” will be counted in favor of all nominees, except to the extent the proxy withholds authority to vote for a specified nominee. Shares represented by proxies marked “Abstain” or withholding any authority to vote will not be counted in favor of any nominee. IN THE ABSENCE OF SPECIFIC DIRECTION, SHARES REPRESENTED BY A PROXY WILL BE VOTED “FOR” THE ELECTION OF ALL NOMINEES.

     Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Ratification of the Audit Committee’s appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2006 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote. IN THE ABSENCE OF SPECIFIC DIRECTION, SHARES REPRESENTED BY A PROXY WILL BE VOTED “FOR” THE RATIFICATION.

What Are the Board’s Recommendations?

     The Board recommends that you vote FOR both Proposal 1 (Election of Trustees) and Proposal 2 (Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm).

What if Other Items Come Up at the Meeting and I am Not There to Vote?

     We are not presently aware of any matters to be presented at the Meeting other than those described in this proxy statement. When you return a signed and dated proxy card or provide your voting instructions by telephone or the Internet, you give the proxy holders (the names of which are listed on your proxy card) the discretionary authority to vote on your behalf on any other matter that is properly brought before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.

What Does it Mean if I Receive More Than One Proxy Card?

     Some of your shares may be registered differently or are in more than one account. You should vote each of your accounts by telephone or the Internet or mail. If you mail proxy cards, please sign, date and return each proxy card to assure that all of your shares are voted. If you hold your shares in registered form and wish to combine your shareholder accounts in the future, you should contact our transfer agent, Computershare Shareholder Services, Inc., at P.O. Box 2500, Jersey City, New Jersey 07303-2598, phone (800) 317-4445. Combining accounts reduces excess printing and mailing costs, resulting in savings for us that benefit you as a shareholder.

How Do I Submit a Shareholder Proposal for Next Year’s Annual Meeting?

     Shareholder proposals may be submitted for inclusion in our 2007 annual meeting proxy statement after the 2006 annual meeting, but must be received no later than December 1, 2006. Proposals should be sent via registered, certified, or express mail to: Brad A. Molotsky, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. We are relocating our corporate headquarters to 555 Lancaster Avenue, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087 in May 2006. Please send any proposals to us at this new address. See also “Shareholder Proposals for the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders” later in this proxy statement.

Meetings of Trustees and Annual Meeting of Shareholders

     Our Board of Trustees held 11 meetings in 2005. Each incumbent Trustee attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board that were held following his election and at least 75% of the meetings held by all committees on which he served. In addition, our Board holds regular informational sessions with our President and Chief Executive Officer. During 2005, the Board held six such informational sessions.

     It is our policy that all Trustees attend annual meetings of shareholders except where the failure to attend is due to unavoidable circumstances or conflicts. All of the Trustees who were Trustees in May 2005 attended our annual meeting of shareholders on May 2, 2005.

Independence Determination

     No Trustee qualifies as independent unless our Board affirmatively determines that the Trustee has no material relationship with us, directly or as a partner, share owner or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us.

     Our Board has adopted standards that are set forth in our Corporate Governance Principles. These standards meet the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and assist our Board in its evaluation of each Trustee’s independence. These standards provide that a Trustee who has any of the following relationships or arrangements will not qualify as independent:

  The Trustee is, or has been within the last three years, an employee of ours, or an immediate family member of the Trustee is, or has been within the last three years, an executive officer of ours.
   
  The Trustee has received, or has an immediate family member who has received, during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than $100,000 in direct compensation from us (excluding compensation in the form of Board fees and Board committee fees, whether paid in cash or shares).
   
  (A) The Trustee or an immediate family member is a current partner of a firm that is our internal or external auditor; (B) the Trustee is a current employee of such a firm; (C) the Trustee has an immediate family member who is a current employee of such a firm and who participates in the firm’s audit, assurance or tax compliance (but not tax planning) practice; or (D) the Trustee or an immediate family member was within the last three years (but is no longer) a partner or employee of such a firm and personally worked on our audit within that time.
   
  The Trustee or an immediate family member of the Trustee is, or has been within the last three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of our present executive officers at the same time serves or served on that company’s compensation committee.
   
  The Trustee is a current employee, or an immediate family member of the Trustee is a current executive officer, of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from, us for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million or 2% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues.

     In its assessment of Trustee independence, our Board considers all commercial, charitable and other business relationships and transactions that any Trustee or member of his immediate family may have with us or with any of our affiliates, including those reported under “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” below.

     Our Board has affirmatively determined that each of Messrs. Aloian, Axinn, D’Alessio, Fowler, Joyce and Pizzi is independent under the standards of the New York Stock Exchange and those set forth in our Corporate Governance Principles and that the Audit Committee, Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee are comprised exclusively of independent Trustees.

Back to Contents

     Our Board did not determine Mr. Nichols to be independent because of his status as a former executive with us and did not determine Mr. Sweeney to be independent because of his position as our President and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, our Board did not determine either Mr. Prentiss or Mr. August to be independent. In its assessment of each of Messrs. Prentiss and August, the Board considered the post-employment benefits to which each is entitled under his employment agreement with Prentiss and his consulting agreement with us. We identify the primary benefits to which they are entitled under “Consulting and Related Agreements” below.

     We own a fifty percent economic interest in an office property known as 101 Paragon Drive in Montvale, New Jersey. The remaining fifty percent interest in this property is owned by one of our Trustees, Mr. Axinn. In February 2006, our Board authorized the sale of this property to an unrelated third party in an arm’s-length transaction. Our Board viewed the sale of this property as an attractive opportunity for us (primarily because of the sales price and the location of this property outside of our core markets). Our Board, taking into account Mr. Axinn’s pre-existing contractual interest in this property and the absence of any affiliation between either us or Mr. Axinn with the third party purchaser, concluded that the sale of this property does not adversely impact Mr. Axinn’s independence.

Corporate Governance

     Governance Compliance: Our policies and practices comply with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our Board and Corporate Governance Committee regularly evaluate our approach to corporate governance in light of changing regulatory requirements and evolving best practices.

Our Board has adopted clear corporate governance policies as reflected in our Corporate Governance Principles.
     
  A majority of our Trustees are independent of us and our management, and all members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance Committee are independent.
   
  The Chairman of our Board is independent.
   
  Our non-management Trustees meet regularly without the presence of management.
   
  The charters of our Board committees clearly establish their respective roles and responsibilities.
   
  Our Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our Trustees, officers and employees, including our senior executives and finance staff.
   
  We have a hotline available to all employees, and our Audit Committee has established procedures for the anonymous submission of any employee complaint, including those relating to accounting, internal controls or auditing matters.
   
  Our Board and Board Committees undertake an annual performance self-evaluation.

Additional information on our corporate governance is provided in the following paragraphs and elsewhere in this proxy statement.

     Lead Independent Trustee: Mr. D’Alessio, Chairman of the Board, is our lead independent Trustee, with responsibility to preside at executive sessions of non-management Trustees, oversee the agenda of Board meetings and be available to shareholders and other parties interested in communicating with our non-management Trustees.

     Executive and Trustee Share Ownership Requirements: We maintain minimum share ownership requirements for our executives and Trustees. Officers are required to own, within five years of their election as an officer but no earlier than May 2007, common shares (or common share equivalents under our deferred compensation plan) having a market value at least equal to the following multiples of their base salary: (i) six times for the President and Chief Executive Officer; (ii) four times for Executive and Senior Vice Presidents; and (iii) two times for Vice Presidents and other officers. Trustees are required to own, within four years of their election to our Board but no earlier than May 2008, common shares having a market value at least equal to three times their $35,000 annual base compensation except if the Trustee is restricted from personal ownership of common shares under an employment policy of the Trustee’s employer.

Back to Contents

     Code of Conduct: We maintain a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, a copy of which is available on our website (www.brandywinerealty.com), applicable to our officers, employees and Trustees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics reflects and reinforces our commitment to integrity in the conduct of our business. Any waiver of the Code for executive officers or Trustees may only be made by the Board or by the Audit Committee (which is composed solely of independent Trustees) and will be disclosed promptly as required by law or stock exchange regulation. In addition to the strictures on our personnel included in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, we notify our vendors of our commitment to the highest ethical standards and the restrictions in our Code on improper payments and gratuities to our personnel.

Trustee Nominations

     In making its recommendations as to nominees for election to our Board, the Corporate Governance Committee may consider, in its sole judgment, recommendations of our President and Chief Executive Officer, other Trustees, senior executives, shareholders and third parties. The Corporate Governance Committee may also retain third-party search firms to identify candidates. Shareholders desiring to recommend nominees should submit their recommendations in writing to Walter D’Alessio, Chairman of the Board c/o, Brandywine Realty Trust, 401 Plymouth Road, Suite 500, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462. After May 2006, correspondence should be sent to our new headquarters’ location at 555 Lancaster Avenue, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087. Recommendations from shareholders should include pertinent information concerning the proposed nominee’s background and experience.

     Our Board’s Corporate Governance Principles set forth qualifications for Trustee nominees and include a nominee’s:

  personal ethics, integrity and values;
   
  inquiring and independent mind;
   
  practical wisdom and mature judgment;
   
  broad training and experience at the policy making level in business, government, education or technology;
   
  willingness to devote the required amount of time to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of Board membership;
   
  commitment to serve on the Board over a period of years in order to develop knowledge about our operations; and
   
  involvement in activities or interests that do not create a conflict with the nominee’s responsibilities to us and our shareholders.

The Corporate Governance Committee also considers such other factors as it deems appropriate, including the current composition of the Board.

     If the Corporate Governance Committee decides, on the basis of its preliminary review of a candidate, to proceed with further consideration of the candidate, members of the Committee, as well as other members of the Board as appropriate, interview the candidate. After completing this evaluation and interview, the Corporate Governance Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board, which makes the final determination whether to nominate or appoint the candidate as a new Trustee.

Communications with the Board

     Shareholders and other parties interested in communicating directly with our lead independent Trustee (Mr. D’Alessio) or with our non-management Trustees as a group may do so by writing to Lead Independent Trustee, Brandywine Realty Trust, 401 Plymouth Road, Suite 500, Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania 19462. We are relocating our corporate headquarters to 555 Lancaster Avenue, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087 in May 2006. After this date, please send any written communications to the Lead Independent Trustee to this new address. In addition, any shareholder or interested party who wishes to communicate with our Board or any specific Trustee, including non-management Trustees, may write to Board of Trustees, c/o Brandywine Realty Trust, at our headquarters’ address.

     Depending on the subject matter, management will:

  forward the communication to the Trustee or Trustees to whom it is addressed. (For example, if the communication received deals with questions or complaints regarding accounting, it will be forwarded by management to the Chairman of our Audit Committee for review);
   
  attempt to handle the inquiry directly (for example, where the communication is a request for information about us or our operations that does not appear to require direct attention by the Board or an individual Trustee); or
   
  not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature or relates to an improper or irrelevant topic.

     At each meeting of the Board, the Chairman of the Board will present a summary of all communications (if any) received since the last meeting of the Board that were not forwarded and will make those communications available to any Trustee upon request.

Compensation of Trustees

     In 2005, our Trustees (other than Mr. Sweeney) received the following compensation for their service as Trustees:

  $35,000 annual fee payable in cash or common shares, at each Trustee’s election;
   
  $25,000 annually in “restricted” common shares that vest in three equal annual installments (valued at the closing price of the common shares on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders);
   
  $1,500 for participation in each meeting and informational session of the Board;
   
  $1,000 for participation by a member of a Board committee in each meeting of the committee;
   
  $10,000 annual fee for the Chair of the Board; $7,500 annual fee for the Chair of the Audit Committee; $6,000 annual fee for the Chair of the Compensation Committee; and $5,000 annual fee for the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee.

     Accordingly, including the $25,000 in restricted common shares, we paid aggregate 2005 compensation to our Trustees (other than Mr. Sweeney) for services on the Board and Board committees as follows: Mr. D’Alessio ($100,511), Mr. Nichols, ($84,000), Mr. Aloian ($107,017), Mr. Axinn ($86,525), Mr. Fowler ($94,750), Mr. Joyce ($99,511) and Mr. Pizzi ($105,500). Messrs. August and Prentiss did not join our Board until January 2006.

     Trustees are also reimbursed for expenses of attending Board and Board committee meetings. In addition, our Corporate Governance Principles encourage our Trustees to attend continuing education programs for directors and provide for reimbursement of the reasonable costs of attending such programs.

     Each restricted common share awarded as part of the annual grant entitles the holder to receive cash distributions and voting rights equivalent to the distribution and voting rights on a common share that is not subject to any restrictions. A restricted common share is subject to forfeiture in the event that the Trustee terminates service on the Board prior to the applicable vesting date for reasons other than death, disability or a change of control of us. Trustees may elect to defer the receipt of all or a portion of their $35,000 annual fee and $1,500 per Board meeting fee into our deferred compensation plan.

     In March 2006, we modified our Trustee compensation. As modified, the annual award of restricted common shares increased to $40,000; the annual fee for the Chair of the Board increased to $45,000; and the annual fees for the Chairs of the Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committees increased to $15,000, $10,000 and $10,000, respectively. The remaining elements of Trustee compensation, including the annual fee and per meeting fees, were not changed.

We agreed to compensate Mr. Nichols for his services at the rate of $500 per hour.

These benefits also include the right of Mr. Prentiss to up to 100 hours per year of flight time on a Challenger 300 aircraft during the three-year period and the right to purchase the aircraft at the end of this period for $100,000. In addition, if any payments made to Mr. Prentiss in connection with the merger would result in an excise tax imposed by either Section 4999 or Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, he would be entitled to receive from us a tax reimbursement payment that would put him in the same financial position after-tax that he would have been in if the excise tax did not apply to such amount.

     Mr. August. On January 5, 2006, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. August. The agreement: (i) has a three-year term; (ii) provides for Mr. August’s consulting services to us for $1,000 per year; (iii) restricts for one year (up to two years for certain activities) the types of activities that Mr. August may engage in; (iv) provides for not less than 2,500 square feet of office spaces for Mr. August; and (v) provides for secretarial support for Mr. August.

  (1) Compensation is reportable in the year in which the compensable service was performed even if we paid the compensation in a subsequent year.
   
  (2) Bonus amounts for 2005, which were approved by the Compensation Committee on February 10, 2006, were paid as follows: (i) 25% either in common shares or a common share equivalent in an investment account established under the Company’s deferred compensation plan, with each share or share equivalent valued at $31.10 per share (the closing price of a common share on February 10, 2006) and (ii) 75%, at the election of the applicable executive, in any combination of cash and common shares (or a common share equivalent under the deferred compensation plan), with each share or share equivalent valued at 85% of the closing price of a common share on February 10, 2006. Notwithstanding the general approach, any executive who met the share ownership requirement applicable to him as of the date of the bonus award, as set forth in our Corporate Governance Principles, is not required to take any portion of his bonus in common shares (or common share equivalents) and is entitled to the 15% discount referred to above on any portion of the bonus taken in common shares (or common share equivalents). Each of the Named Executive Officers met the share ownership requirement applicable to him as of the date of the bonus award. The portion of the common shares (or the common share equivalents) received as a result of the discounted purchase price is subject to transfer restrictions until December 31, 2007. Bonus amounts for 2004 and 2003 were approved and paid in a manner comparable to the manner described in the first sentence of this footnote for 2005 bonus amounts.

  (4) Restricted common shares for each of 2005, 2004 and 2003 were awarded in February 2006, February 2005 and March 2004, respectively, and vest in five equal annual installments commencing on January 1 of the year following the year of award. All restricted common shares vest upon a change of control of us, death or disability. The holder of restricted common shares is entitled to vote the shares and to receive distributions on the shares from the date of award. Vesting of the restricted common shares is not subject to performance-based conditions. The total number of unvested restricted common shares held by each Named Executive Officer at December 31, 2005 and the value of such unvested restricted common shares at December 31, 2005 are shown in the following table:

  (5) In February 2000, we loaned Mr. Sweeney $1.5 million solely to enable him to purchase 96,000 common shares. The loan, which bore interest at the lower of our cost of funds or a rate based on the dividend payable on the common shares, was subject to forgiveness over a three-year period, with the amount of forgiveness tied to our total shareholder return compared to the total shareholder return of a peer group of companies. During each of 2001, 2002 and 2003, one-third of the principal amount of the loan, together with accrued interest thereon, was forgiven in accordance with the terms of the loan. The loan is no longer outstanding.
   
  (6) Includes employer matching and profit sharing contributions to our 401(k) retirement and profit sharing plan and deferred compensation plan and life insurance premiums.

(1) Relates to our Amended and Restated 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan and 46,667 options awarded prior to adoption of the 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan. In May 2005 our shareholders approved an increase to the number of common shares that may be issued or subject to award under the Plan, from 5,000,000 to 6,600,000. The May 2005 amendment provided that 500,000 of the shares under the Plan are available solely for awards under options and share appreciation rights that have an exercise or strike price not less than the market price of our common shares on the date of award, and the remaining 6,100,000 shares are available for any type of award under the Plan. As part of our January 2006 acquisition of Prentiss, which was approved by our shareholders in December 2005, we assumed Prentiss’ three share incentive plans. As of March 15, 2006, approximately 1,688,570 common shares remain available for issuance or the subject to award under the assumed Prentiss share incentive plans; however, any such issuances or awards under the assumed Prentiss plan may be made only to those of our employees who had been employed by Prentiss immediately prior to our acquisition of Prentiss or to those of our employees that we hired after our acquisition of Prentiss.  
     
(2) Does not include 316,134 unvested restricted common shares awarded under our Amended and Restated 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan that were outstanding at December 31, 2005.  
     

Employment Agreements

     Mr. Sweeney’s Employment Agreement. We have an employment agreement with Mr. Sweeney. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $350,000; $70,000 per year for financial planning and other activities; and a $12,000 per year automobile allowance. The term of the agreement extends through May 7, 2008. If the term of Mr. Sweeney’s employment is not extended upon expiration, we will be obligated to provide him with a severance benefit during the one-year period following expiration of the term equal to the sum of his prior year salary and bonus as well as health care benefits. The agreement entitles Mr. Sweeney to a payment equal to 2.99 times the sum of his annual salary and annual and long-term bonus upon: (i) termination of his employment without cause, (ii) his resignation “for good reason” or (iii) his death. Resignation by Mr. Sweeney within six months following a reduction in his salary, an adverse change in his status or responsibilities, certain changes in the location of our headquarters or a change in control of us would each constitute a resignation “for good reason.”

     Additional Employment Agreements. In connection with our merger with Prentiss, we entered into six separate employment agreements with executives of Prentiss: Robert K. Wiberg, Daniel K. Cushing, Christopher M. Hipps, Michael J. Cooper, Gregory S. Imhoff and Scott W. Fordham. Each of the employment agreements sets forth the terms under which we have employed the applicable executive, including title, responsibilities and compensation. The table below provides selected information from each employment agreement.

(1) Share grants represent our common shares. As indicated in the above table, some of the shares granted were fully vested on the grant date. The restricted shares granted to Messrs. Wiberg and Cushing will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and vesting is not subject to performance-based conditions. The holder of restricted shares is entitled to vote the unvested restricted shares and to receive distributions from the date of the award.

Severance Agreements

     We have severance agreements or arrangements with those of our officers who have not entered into employment agreements with us. Under the severance agreements, if the employment of an executive terminates within a specified period of time following the date that we undergo a change of control (such period being two years from the date of the change of control for Senior Vice Presidents and one year for other officers that entered into such agreements) then the executive will be entitled to a severance payment in an amount based on a multiple of his or her salary and annual and long-term bonus. For our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President and General Counsel, the multiple is 2.25; for other Senior Vice Presidents without an employment agreement, the multiple is 1.75; for the Vice President – Finance and Treasurer and Vice President – Investment, the multiple is 1.50; and for other Vice Presidents with such agreements, the multiple is 1.00. The agreements also provide for a comparable payment to or for the benefit of an executive (or his or her estate) who dies or becomes disabled while employed with us. Those of our officers who joined us upon completion of our merger with Prentiss are entitled to severance benefits under the severance policy that Prentiss established prior to the merger. Generally, under this policy, if a covered executive’s employment were to be terminated by us within a one to two year period following the merger, we would be required to pay severance to the executive in an amount based on a multiple of the executive’s base salary and bonus, with the multiple ranging from 2.0 to 1.0.

401(k) Plan

     We maintain a Section 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) covering eligible employees. The 401(k) Plan permits eligible employees to defer up to a designated percentage of their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The employees’ elective deferrals are immediately vested and non-forfeitable upon contribution to the 401(k) Plan. We reserve the right to make matching contributions or discretionary profit sharing contributions. The 401(k) Plan is designed to qualify under Section 401 of the Code so that contributions by employees or us to the 401(k) Plan and income earned on plan contributions are not taxable to employees until such amounts are withdrawn from the 401(k) Plan, and so that contributions by us, if any, will be deductible by us when made.

Deferred Compensation Plan

     Our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “EDCP”) provides our senior executives and Trustees with the opportunity to defer a portion of their base salary and bonus (or, in the case of Trustees, annual retainer and Board fees) on a tax-deferred basis. If a participant’s matching contributions under our 401(k) plan are limited due to participation in the EDCP or as a result of limitations on matching contributions imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, we make a matching contribution only to the extent the participant defers an amount under the EDCP at least equal to the amount that would have been required if the matching contribution had been made under our 401(k) plan. We reserve the right to make matching contributions for executives on deferred amounts and to make a discretionary profit sharing contribution for executives on compensation in excess of $210,000. Participants elect the timing and form of distribution. Distributions are in the form of a lump sum or installments and can commence in-service, after a required minimum deferral period, or upon retirement. Participants elect the manner in which their accounts are deemed invested during the deferral period. One of the deemed investment options is a hypothetical investment fund consisting of common shares. Because the EDCP is a “nonqualified” deferred compensation plan, we are not obligated to invest deferred amounts in the selected manner or to set aside any deferred amounts in trust. In general, compensation subject to a deferral election, matching contributions and profit sharing contributions are not includible in a participant’s taxable income for federal income tax purposes until the participant receives a distribution from the EDCP. We are not entitled to a deduction until such amounts are distributed.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

     The Compensation Committee of our Board is currently comprised of Charles P. Pizzi (Chair), Walter D’Alessio and Michael J. Joyce, none of whom is or has been an executive of the Company. In addition, none of our executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any company that has an executive officer serving as a member of our Board.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

     Employee Share Purchase Loans. In 1998, our Board authorized us to make loans totaling $5.0 million to enable our employees to purchase Common Shares. In 2001, the Board increased the loan authorization by $2.0 million. The outstanding principal balances of the loans to executives officers that participated in the loan program at December 31, 2005 were as follows: Mr. Sweeney ($300,003) and Mr. Redd ($9,991). Proceeds of the loans were used solely to fund the purchase of common shares. The loans mature on October 15, 2006, are full recourse and are secured by the common shares purchased. Interest accrues on the loans at the lower of the interest rate borne on borrowings under our revolving credit facility or a rate based on the dividend payments on the common shares and is payable quarterly. For the quarter ended December 31, 2005, this rate was 4.18% per annum. The principal of the loans is payable at the earlier of the stated maturity date and 90 days following termination of the applicable employee’s employment with us.

     Loans We Acquired through Prentiss Merger. Through our acquisition of Prentiss we acquired three loans made by Prentiss to two of its executives who are now our executives. Prentiss loaned Christopher M. Hipps $127,667 on June 1, 2002 and loaned Daniel K. Cushing $74,583 on January 1, 2002. Prentiss made these loans to assist these executives with moving expenses when they relocated to assume new management positions. The loans contain forgiveness provisions with the purpose of securing the continued and future employment services of these executives. One-fifth of the unpaid principal amount of each loan was or will be forgiven on each of the first five anniversaries of the loan grant provided the executive is not in default and his employment has not terminated. In 2005 $25,533 was forgiven on the loan to Mr. Hipps and $14,917 was forgiven on the loan to Mr. Cushing. In addition, Prentiss loaned Mr. Cushing $500,000 on June 14, 2002, interest free, to purchase a home in California. This loan is non-recourse, is secured by the home purchased and is due on the earlier of (i) termination of Mr. Cushing’s employment, (ii) the sale of the home and (iii) June 14, 2012.

     Sale of 101 Paragon Drive. We own a fifty percent economic interest in an approximately 141,724 square foot office building located at 101 Paragon Drive in Montvale, New Jersey. The remaining fifty percent ownership interest in this building is owned by Donald E. Axinn, one of our Trustees. On February 10, 2006, our Board (with Mr. Axinn abstaining) authorized the sale of this property to an unaffiliated third party for a gross sales price of $18,350,000. Closing of the sale is scheduled to occur in August 2006, subject to a one-month extension right and subject to closing conditions, including completion of due diligence to the satisfaction of the buyer. We estimate that our share of the sales proceeds, after reduction for discharge of the mortgage debt secured by the property, transfer taxes, brokerage fees and similar costs, will be approximately $3.1 million. Our Board authorized us to sell this property because the Board concluded that the terms of sale are attractive and the disposition of this property is consistent with our focus on select core markets.

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

     This is the Report of the Compensation Committee of our Board on compensation policies for our executives.

     Compensation Philosophy. The Compensation Committee believes that executive compensation should reflect our performance and individual performance and provide long-term incentives. The Compensation Committee evaluates our performance by reference to our total shareholder return, funds from operations and strategic, investment and operational activities. The Compensation Committee seeks to set executive compensation at levels that are competitive so that we may attract, retain and motivate high quality executives. In furtherance of this objective, the Compensation Committee seeks to provide total annual compensation for senior executives at levels that fall within the 50th to 75th percentile of the compensation levels at peer group companies. In establishing compensation for executive officers, the Committee considers, in addition to our performance, executive activities in furtherance of our annual business plan and long-term growth, executive performance of assigned operational responsibilities, our industry position, compensation levels and practices at peer companies, general industry data and the recommendations of the President and Chief Executive Officer and an unaffiliated third-party consulting firm. The Committee exercises judgment and discretion in the information it analyzes and considers.

     Our compensation program for executives consists of three principal components:

  a base salary;
   
  a performance-based annual bonus, payable in cash and common share equivalents under our deferred compensation plan; and
   
  periodic grants of equity-based compensation, which, in the past few years, have taken the form of grants of restricted common shares that vest over a five year period.

The Compensation Committee believes that this approach has linked executive compensation to personal performance and our performance. In addition, equity-based compensation such as restricted common share awards link a significant portion of long-term compensation to share price appreciation realized by our shareholders. The Compensation Committee is currently evaluating alternative approaches to long-term executive compensation, with the primary focus being on a performance-based plan that would tie the amount of payments to our attainment of total shareholder return hurdles.

     Compensation Analysis. On February 10, 2006, the Compensation Committee authorized 2005 year-end bonuses to our executives and awarded restricted common shares to some of our employees. The Committee approved 2005 year-end bonuses and restricted share awards following review of industry data and recommendations of an unaffiliated third party consultant. In taking action, the Committee assessed our 2005 performance, including strategic, investment and operational activities, total shareholder return and funds from operations; and for executives other than our President and Chief Executive Officer, recommendations of our President and Chief Executive Officer. Among the investment, financial and operational activities that the Committee considered relative to the President and Chief Executive Officer were (i) completion in January 2006 of our $3.3 billion acquisition of Prentiss and concurrent disposition of approximately 4.32 million net rentable square feet of properties to designees of Prudential Insurance; (ii) our 2005 financing activities, including our new revolving credit facility and our December public note offering; (iii) maintenance of our investment grade rating; (iv) development, redevelopment and leasing activity, including activity relative to our landmark Cira Centre in Philadelphia; and (v) operational performance, including tenant retention and tenant satisfaction levels and operating expense controls. The Committee also assessed our President and Chief Executive Officer’s role in positioning us for additional growth while maintaining a disciplined focus on operational metrics. The Committee did not weight or prioritize these various factors and exercised discretion in its compensation decisions. With respect to other executive officers, the Committee undertook a similar analysis, taking into account peer company data, individual contributions and the recommendations of the President and Chief Executive Officer.

     The Compensation Committee has required that a minimum of 25% of the year-end bonus for each executive must be taken in common shares (or common share equivalents under our deferred compensation plan). Additionally, executives generally have the ability to take all or a portion of the balance of the year-end bonus in excess of 25% in common shares (or common share equivalents under our deferred compensation plan) at a 15% discount to the market price of the common shares, with the additional shares acquired by virtue of the discount subject to vesting over a two-year period. The Compensation Committee has provided that any executive who, at the time of award of the year-end bonuses, meets the share ownership requirements applicable to him or her, as set forth in our Corporate Governance Principles, is not required to take any portion of his or her year-end bonus in common shares (or common share equivalents) and is entitled to the 15% discount on any shares or share equivalents taken.

     In each of February 2006, February 2005 and March 2004, the Compensation Committee authorized the award of restricted common shares to our executives, with such shares subject to vesting in five equal annual installments, commencing on the first day of the January following the award date. Amounts awarded to the Named Executive Officers in these years are shown in the Summary Compensation Table.

     IRS Limits on Deductibility of Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits our tax deduction each year for compensation to each of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our four other highest paid executive officers to $1 million. Section 162(m), however, allows a deduction without regard to amount for payments of performance based compensation which includes most share option and other incentive arrangements, the material terms of which have been approved by shareholders. Awards issued under our Amended and Restated 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) if the awards qualify as “performance-based compensation.” Options under this plan that have an exercise price equal to grant date fair market value and that vest based solely on continued employment qualify as performance-based compensation. However, options exercisable for a total of 1,018,489 common shares awarded to Mr. Sweeney do not qualify as performance-based compensation because the options were awarded subject to shareholder approval. Similarly, the “restricted” common shares awarded to the Named Executive Officers in 2006, 2005 and 2004 do not qualify as performance-based compensation because the restrictions applicable to the shares lapse based solely on continued employment. We believe that because Brandywine qualifies as a REIT under the Code and is not subject to Federal income taxes, the payment of compensation that does not satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) would not have a material adverse financial consequence to us provided we distributes 100% of its taxable income.

     Severance Policy. In February 2005, our Compensation Committee and non-management Trustees approved a policy regarding severance agreements with our senior executives. Under the policy, we will generally submit to shareholders for approval any future severance arrangements with our most senior executives that exceed 2.99 times an amount based on the executive’s salary and bonus. The policy applies to cash separation benefits that directly relate to salary and bonus and extraordinary benefits that are not of a type available to other groups of our employees. The policy excludes from the limitation specified benefits, including amounts earned by an executive prior to termination of employment and accelerated vesting of and the value associated with restricted shares, options and other long-term incentives awarded prior to termination of the executive’s employment. Our Board has reserved the right to modify or terminate the policy at any time in its discretion.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

     The Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of our Board of Trustees. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of our audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

     In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee has reviewed our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, and discussed them with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, including the following aspects of the financial statements: (i) the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles applicable to the financial statements; (ii) the reasonableness of the significant judgments reflected in the financial statements; and (iii) the clarity of their disclosures. The Audit Committee has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letters from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees. The Audit Committee has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP their independence from Brandywine and its management. In addition, the Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the independent registered public accounting firm to Brandywine is compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. No such services were provided to us by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the years ended December 31, 2005 or 2004.

     Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Trustees that our audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Audit Committee’s recommendation was accepted by the Board of Trustees.

     This report is made by the undersigned members of the Audit Committee.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM

     The Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was first engaged as our independent registered public accounting firm in June 2003 and has audited our financial statements for fiscal 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter.

     Although shareholder ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, our Board has decided to afford our shareholders the opportunity to express their opinions on the matter of our independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests and those of our shareholders. If our shareholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will take that fact into consideration, together with such other facts as it deems relevant, in determining its next selection of an independent registered public accounting firm.

     Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be present at the Meeting to make any statement they may desire and to respond to questions from shareholders.

     The Board of Trustees unanimously recommends a vote FOR Proposal 2 to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2006.

Fees to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

     Audit Fees. For 2005, we incurred audit fees of $1,011,548 in aggregate payable to our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. These fees include: (i) recurring audit and quarterly review fees of $595,125 for both us and our operating partnership and (ii) fees of $416,423 for comfort letters, consents and assistance with documents filed with the SEC in connection with our acquisition of Prentiss and a public debt offering by our operating partnership.

     For 2004, we paid PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP audit fees of $1,212,000 in aggregate. These fees include: (i) recurring audit and quarterly review fees of $565,000 for us and for our operating partnership (which became a public registrant during 2004), (ii) audit fees of $378,000 in connection with the re-audits of our financial statements and those of our operating partnership for the years 2003, 2002 and 2001 and (iii) fees of $269,000 for comfort letters, consents and assistance with documents filed with the SEC in connection with our 2004 acquisition of the Rubenstein portfolio of properties, common and preferred share issuances by us and a public debt offering by our operating partnership.

     Audit-Related Fees. For 2005, we incurred audit-related fees of $54,343 payable to our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, in connection with our due diligence work related to the Prentiss acquisition. We did not pay PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP fees for audit-related services in 2004.

     Tax Fees. We did not pay PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP fees for tax services in 2005 or 2004.

     All Other Fees. We did not pay fees to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for other services in 2005 or 2004.

     Pre-Approval Policy. All services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP were pre-approved by our Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. The Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approved policy for services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. Under the policy, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the provision by the independent registered public accounting firm of services that fall within specified categories (such as statutory audits or financial audit work for subsidiaries, services associated with SEC registration statements and consultations by management as to accounting interpretations) but only up to specified dollar amounts. Any services that exceed the pre-approved dollar limits, or any services that fall outside of the general pre-approved categories, require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. If the Audit Committee delegates pre-approval authority to one or more of its members, the member would be required to report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next meeting.

     We have been advised by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that neither the firm, nor any member of the firm, has any financial interest, direct or indirect, in any capacity in us or any of our subsidiaries.

OTHER INFORMATION

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers, Trustees and persons who own more than 10% of the common shares to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, Trustees and greater than 10% shareholders are required by regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to us, or written representations that no Annual Statements of Beneficial Ownership of Securities on Form 5 were required to be filed, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2005, our officers, Trustees and greater than 10% shareholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements.

APPENDIX A

Audit Committee Charter

Brandywine Realty Trust

Purpose

The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of Brandywine Realty Trust (the “Company”) shall assist the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Company in overseeing (1) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements; (2) the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (3) the independence and qualifications of the Company’s independent auditors; and (4) the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent auditors. The Committee also prepares the report required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement.

Composition and Term

The Committee shall be comprised of at least three trustees, each of whom shall be independent, as such term is defined in the Corporate Governance Principles of the Board. Each Committee member shall be financially literate. The term “financial literacy” shall mean familiarity with the Company’s financial statements, including its balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement, and general knowledge of key business and financial risks and related controls or control processes. At least one member of the Committee shall have accounting or related financial management expertise, which shall mean a background in finance, accounting or auditing, acquired through past employment experience, professional training, or other comparable experience. Additionally, a trustee may not serve simultaneously on the audit committees of more than three (3) public companies without prior approval of a majority of the Board.

The members of the Committee shall be appointed for a one year term by the Board annually upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board. Should any member of the Committee cease to be independent, such member shall immediately resign his or her membership on the Committee.

Compensation of Committee Members

Members of the Committee shall not receive any compensation from the Company other than trustees’ fees (including equity-based awards), which may include amounts paid to trustees for service on committees and as chairs of committees of the Board.

Relationship with Independent Auditor

The Committee shall have sole authority to select (subject to ratification of such selection by the Company’s shareholders if ratification is determined by the Board to be necessary or desirable) and to replace the Company’s independent auditor, and to approve all audit and non-audit services (to the extent non-audit services are allowed by law) with the independent auditor, as well as all engagement fees and terms with respect thereto. The Committee may consult with Company management regarding the foregoing, but the Committee’s sole authority with respect thereto shall not be delegated. The Committee shall be directly responsible for oversight of the work performed by any public accounting firm (including the resolution of disagreements between any such accounting firm and Company management regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work, and such accounting firms shall report directly to the Committee.

Outside Advisors

The Committee shall have the authority, without Board approval, to the extent that it deems appropriate, to obtain advice and assistance from outside legal, accounting or other advisors.

Meetings

The Committee shall meet at such times and from time to time as it deems to be appropriate, but not less frequently than quarterly. The Committee shall report to the Board at the first board meeting following each such Committee meeting. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Approval by a majority of the members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall constitute approval by the Committee. The Committee may also act by unanimous written consent without a meeting.

A-1


Back to Contents

The Company’s independent auditor and internal auditor, if any, shall attend at least two of the Committee’s meetings each year. The Committee may request members of management or others (including the Company’s investment bankers or financial analysts who follow the Company) to attend meetings and to provide pertinent information as necessary. The Committee shall meet with Company management (including the chief financial officer), the internal auditors (or other personnel responsible for the internal audit function) and with the Company’s independent auditors in separate private sessions as often as may be deemed necessary or appropriate but not less than two times per year.

Duties and Responsibilities

The duties of the Committee shall include the following:

     At least annually, obtain and review a report by the Company’s independent auditor describing: (1) the firm’s internal quality-control procedures; (2) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years, respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm; (3) any steps taken to deal with such issues; and (4) (to assess the auditor’s independence) all relationships between the auditor and the Company. Based in part on its review of this report, the Committee shall evaluate the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent auditor, and such evaluation shall include a specific review of the lead partner of the independent auditor. In making its evaluation, the Committee may take into account the opinions of Company management and the Company’s internal auditor (or other personnel responsible for the internal audit function). The Committee shall present its conclusions with regard to the independent auditor to the full Board.

     Review and discuss with the independent auditor the proposed scope of services of the independent auditor for each fiscal year, including a review of the independent auditor’s audit procedures and risk assessment process in establishing the scope of the services, proposed fees, and the reports to be rendered.

     Review and discuss all reports required by law or regulation to be provided to the Committee by the independent auditor and Company management, including a report from the independent auditor of (1) all critical accounting policies and practices used by the Company; (2) all alternative treatments of financial information within generally accepted accounting principles that have been discussed by the independent auditor with Company management, ramifications of the use of such alternative treatments, and the treatment preferred by the independent auditors; and (3) other material written communications between the independent auditors and Company management, such as any management letter or schedule of unadjusted differences.

     Review and discuss with Company management and the independent auditor such accounting policies (and changes therein) of the Company, including any financial reporting issues which could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements (including but not limited to the use of alternative GAAP methods and off-balance sheet structures), as are deemed appropriate for review by the Committee prior to any interim or year-end filings with the SEC or other regulators.

     Review and discuss with Company management the effect of accounting and regulatory initiatives on the financial statements of the Company.

     Meet to review and discuss with Company management and the independent auditor the Company’s annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements, including the Company’s disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations,” and recommend to the Board whether the audited financial statements shall be included in the Company’s Form 10-K.

     Review and discuss with Company management earnings press releases, including the use of “pro-forma” or “adjusted” non-GAAP information, as well as financial information and earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies.

A-2


Back to Contents

     Discuss with Company management the Company’s major financial risk exposures and steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including the Company’s risk assessment and risk management policies.

     Review management’s annual report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and the independent auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

     Adopt guidelines for the Company’s hiring of employees of the Company’s independent auditor who were previously engaged on the Company’s account.

     Make recommendations to the Board as to:

  Whether, in order to assure continuing auditor independence, there should be regular rotation of the independent auditor.
   
  The advisability of having the independent auditor make specified studies and reports as to auditing matters, accounting procedures, tax or other matters.

     Review and discuss with Company management the appointment and replacement of the senior internal auditing executive.

     Review and discuss with Company management, the independent auditor and the Company’s internal auditor (or other personnel responsible for the internal audit function):

  The management recommendation letter on accounting procedures and internal controls prepared by the independent auditor, and any other reports and Company management’s responses concerning such reports;
   
  Any material accounting issues identified by management, the Company’s internal auditor, if any, or the independent auditor;
   
  Any related party transactions;
   
  Other matters required to be communicated by the independent auditor to the Committee under generally accepted auditing standards, as amended; and

     Establish procedures for (1) the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal auditing controls, or auditing matters, and (2) submission by employees of the Company of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters, with due concerns for confidentiality and anonymity of the source.

     Meet annually with general counsel, and outside counsel when appropriate, to review legal and regulatory matters, if any, that could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

     Make a periodic, but not less than annual, self-assessment of the Committee, including a review of this charter, using assessment tools available through third parties or developed internally.

The Committee shall also undertake such additional activities within the scope of its primary function as the Committee from time to time determines.

Limitation of Audit Committee’s Role

The Audit Committee does not plan or conduct audits, nor does it determine that the Company’s financial statements and disclosures are complete, accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibility of Company management and the independent auditor.
