Exhibit 10.12
FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED
AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
OF
BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT, dated as of December 11, 1997 (the "Amendment"),
amends the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement (the "Partnership
Agreement") of BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the "Partnership"). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined
herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Partnership Agreement.
BACKGROUND
A. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, Brandywine Realty Trust (the
"General Partner"), as the general partner of the Partnership, has the power and
authority to issue additional Partnership Interests to persons on such terms and
conditions as the General Partner may deem appropriate.
B. The General Partner, pursuant to the exercise of such power and
authority and in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, has determined to
execute this Amendment to the Partnership Agreement to evidence the issuance of
additional Partnership Interests and the admission of the other signatories
hereto as Limited Partners of the Partnership in exchange for certain
contributions of real estate and real estate related assets that are being made
to the Partnership on the date hereof pursuant to three separate Agreements
(relating, respectively, to properties commonly known as 0000 Xxxxxx Xxx Road,
000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx and the PaintWorks Property) among the Partnership, the
General Partner and the Admitted Partners.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby amend the Partnership Agreement as
follows:
1. The Partnership Agreement is hereby amended to reflect the
admission as a Limited Partner on the date hereof of the Persons set forth on
Schedule A-1 attached hereto (the "Initial Admitted Partners") and the ownership
by such Persons of the number of Class A Units listed opposite each Person's
name on Schedule A-1. Immediately following the issuance of such Class A Units
to the Initial Admitted Partners, the Initial Admitted Partners will transfer
all of such Class A Units to the members or partners of such Initial Admitted
Partners, with the result that the Initial Admitted Partners will have withdrawn
from and ceased to be Limited Partners and the Persons listed on Schedule A-2
attached hereto (the "Subsequent Admitted Partners") will have become Limited
Partners and will hold the Class A Units issued pursuant to this Amendment.
Attached as Schedule B is a list of the Partners of the Partnership prior to the
admission of the Initial Admitted Partners, together with the number and class
of Partnership Interests owned by such partners.
2. The Partnership Interests issued hereby shall constitute Class A
Units; provided that any distribution to be received by the Subsequent Admitted
Partners on the Class A Units transferred to them on the date hereof by the
Initial Admitted partners on account of the fiscal quarter in which the
Subsequent Admitted Partners are admitted to the Partnership shall be pro-rated
to reflect the portion of the fiscal quarter of the Partnership for which the
Subsequent Admitted Partners held such Class A Units and shall not be pro-rata
in accordance with their then Percentage Interests.
3. By execution of this Amendment to the Partnership Agreement by
the General Partner and the Initial Admitted Partners and Subsequent Admitted
Partners, the Initial Admitted Partners and Subsequent Admitted Partners agree
to be bound by each and every term of the Partnership Agreement as amended from
time to time in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. The
General Partner confirms that the provisions in Section 18.1(a) of the
Partnership Agreement shall apply to the Subsequent Admitted Partners
notwithstanding Section 18.7 of the Partnership Agreement.
4. On the date of this Amendment, each of the Subsequebt Admitted
Partners shall execute and deliver to Brandywine Realty Trust an Irrevocable
Proxy coupled with an Interest in the form set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto
attached.
5. Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment to the
Partnership Agreement, the Partnership Agreement is hereby ratified and
confirmed in each and every respect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment to the Partnership Agreement has
been executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
