2. Letters of Credit. Section 2 of the Restated Agreement is
hereby amended by adding a new Section 2.9 at the end thereof:
Section 2.9. LETTERS OF CREDIT
(a) Up to $30,000,000 of the Commitments may
be used by Borrower for the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Agent
for the account of the Borrower subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein. Each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in dollars and
shall be a standby letter of credit issued to support the obligations of
Borrower in connection with any purposes for which the proceeds of the
Loans may be used pursuant to Section7.11. The issuance of a Letter of
Credit shall be deemed to be an Investment under Section8.2(g) as of the
time of issuance. Each Letter of Credit shall have an initial term of
not more than one (1) year, and shall expire no later than five (5)
Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. Although the Agent shall be
the issuing bank of the Letter of Credit, each Bank hereby accepts for
its own account and risk an undivided interest equal to its Commitment
Percentage in the Agent's obligations and rights under each Letter of
Credit issued hereunder. Each Bank unconditionally and irrevocably
agrees with the Agent that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of
Credit, such Bank shall promptly pay to the Agent an amount equal to
such Bank's Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft or any
part thereof. Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit hereunder,
there shall be reserved from each Bank's Commitment an amount equal to
such Bank's Commitment Percentage of the face amount of the Letter of
Credit. Such reserved amounts shall remain in place and shall be
unavailable for borrowing under Section2.1 until the date that the
Letter of Credit expires, is fully drawn or is terminated.
(b) The Borrower shall give to the Agent a
written notice in the form of Exhibit F hereto of each Letter of Credit
requested hereunder (a "Letter of Credit Request") no less than five (5)
Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date of the requested
Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit Request shall specify (i) the
name and address of the beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit,
(ii) the face amount of the requested Letter of Credit, (iii) the
proposed issuance date and expiration date of the requested Letter of
Credit, (iv) the proposed form of the requested Letter of Credit, and
(v) the permitted purpose for which the Letter of Credit will be used,
and shall be accompanied by a Compliance Certificate in the form of
Exhibit C hereto signed by a Responsible Officer setting forth in
reasonable detail computations evidencing compliance with the covenants
contained in Section 9 hereof after including in the outstanding amount
of Loans the face amount of the requested Letter of Credit. The Agent
may also require that the Borrower complete its standard letter of
credit application in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto, as such
standard form may be revised from time to time, and submit the same
together with the Letter of Credit Request. Within two (2) Business
Days after receipt of a Letter of Credit Request, the Agent shall
provide to each of the Banks by facsimile a copy of such Letter of
Credit Request and accompanying Compliance Certificate and each Bank
shall, within 24 hours thereafter, notify the Agent if it believes that
any of the conditions contained in Section11 of this Agreement has not
been met or waived such that a Loan in an amount equal to the face
amount of the requested Letter of Credit could be made on the proposed
issuance date of such Letter of Credit. If such a notice is given the
Requisite Banks shall promptly determine whether all of the conditions
contained in Section11 of this Agreement have been met or waived. If no
such notice is given by any Bank or if following such notice the
Requisite Banks determine that the conditions contained in Section11
have been met or waived, and if the Agent determines, in its discretion,
that it is willing to issue the requested Letter of Credit, and that it
is satisfied with the proposed form thereof, the Letter of Credit shall
be issued by the Agent and each of the Banks shall then be obligated to
the Agent with respect to its Commitment Percentage of the Letter of
Credit as provided above in Section 2.9(a).
(c) On or before the issuance date of any
requested Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its
own account an issuance fee equal to one-eighth percent (.125%) of the
face amount of the Letter of Credit. On or before the date of any
renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to
the Agent for its own account a renewal fee equal to five-hundredths
percent (.05%) of the face amount of the Letter of Credit. The Borrower
shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks a Letter of Credit
fee equal to the then prevailing Applicable Margin per annum of the face
amount of the Letter of Credit, which Letter of Credit fee shall be due
and payable on the issuance date of the Letter of Credit and on the date
of each renewal or extension thereof, and shall be prorated for any
partial year based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of
days between the issuance date and the expiration date of such Letter of
Credit. Promptly after its receipt thereof the Agent shall distribute
such Letter of Credit fee to the Banks pro-rata in accordance with their
respective Commitment Percentages. Such fees shall be nonrefundable and
shall not be further prorated in the event that the Letter of Credit
terminates prior to its scheduled expiration date. The Borrower also
agrees to reimburse the Agent for all reasonable fees, costs, expenses
and disbursements of the Agent in issuing, effecting payment under,
amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.
(d) Promptly after each Drawing Date the Agent
shall notify the Banks and the Borrower of the amount of the draft paid
by the Agent on such Drawing Date. The payment of a draft under a
Letter of Credit shall constitute an advance of a Loan which shall bear
interest as a Base Rate Loan from the Drawing Date. On the Drawing Date
each Bank shall pay to the Agent its Commitment Percentage of the amount
of the draft under the Letter of Credit so paid. If the Agent receives
such payment from any Bank on a date after the Drawing Date, such Bank
shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount computed in the same manner
as the amount due to the Agent from a Bank which has made available
funds for loans after the Drawdown Date thereof pursuant to Section
2.7(b). Each Bank's obligation to pay its Commitment Percentage of each
draft under a Letter of Credit shall not be subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section11. Within three (3) Business
Days after each Drawing Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a
written explanation of the facts and circumstances relating to such
drawing and a Compliance Certificate and any other information requested
by the Agent for the purpose of allowing the Banks to determine whether
the drawing or related events have resulted in a Default or Event of
Default. The Agent shall promptly provide copies of such explanation
and information to the Banks.
(e) The Borrower's obligations under this
Section 2.9 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense
to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Agent,
any Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. The Borrower also
agrees that the Agent shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's
reimbursement obligations hereunder shall not be affected by, among
other things, (i) the validity or genuineness of documents or of any
endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to
be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or (ii) any dispute between or among
the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other
party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or (iii) any
claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter
of Credit or any such transferee. The Agent shall not be liable for any
error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or
delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection
with any Letter of Credit, except for errors, omissions, interruptions
or delays caused by the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Agent under
or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or
documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the
Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits as the same may be
amended from time to time, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall
not result in any liability of the Agent to the Borrower.
(f) In the event that any Letters of Credit
are in effect at the time of an acceleration of the maturity of the
Loans pursuant to Section 12.1, the amounts which shall thereupon become
immediately due and payable by the Borrower shall include a sum equal to
the aggregate face amount of such then effective Letters of Credit.
Such sum shall be deposited in a cash collateral account to be opened by
the Agent. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be
applied by the Agent on each Drawing Date thereafter to pay any drafts
presented pursuant to the Letters of Credit. After all Letters of
Credit have been fully drawn upon, expired or otherwise terminated, any
balance remaining in such cash collateral account shall be applied in
the same manner as enforcement proceeds under Section12.4.
3. Amendment to Section 8.1. Section 8.1 of the Restated
Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Section 8.1 Restrictions on Recourse
Indebtedness. Except with the prior written consent of the Requisite
Banks, the Borrower will not, and the Borrower will not permit any
Guarantor, any of the Related Companies or any Permitted Joint Venture
to create, incur, assume, guarantee or become or remain liable,
contingently or otherwise, or agree not to do any of same with respect

(a) Indebtedness to the Banks arising under
any of the Loan Documents;
(b) current liabilities of the Borrower

awards that have been in force for less than the applicable period for
taking an appeal so long as execution is not levied thereunder or in

a stay of execution shall have been obtained pending such appeal or
review;
(e) endorsements for collection, deposit or

of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and
5. Replacement Exhibit C. Exhibit C attached to the Restated
Agreement is hereby replaced with Exhibit C attached hereto.

Compliance Certificate under
Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of June 16, 1997
The undersigned, a Responsible Officer of Liberty Property Trust,
general partner of Liberty Property Limited Partnership (the
"Borrower"), hereby certifies on behalf of the Borrower as of the date
hereof the following:
1. No Defaults. I have read a copy of the Amended and Restated Loan
Agreement dated as of June 16, 1997 (the "Loan Agreement") among the
Borrower, Liberty Property Trust, BankBoston, N.A., the other lending
institutions party thereto, and BankBoston, N.A., as Agent. Terms used
herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set
forth in Section1.1 of the Loan Agreement. No Default is continuing in
the performance or observance of any of the covenants, terms or
provisions of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower has not taken any actions
which are prohibited by the negative covenants set forth in Section8 of
the Loan Agreement. Attached hereto as Appendix I are all relevant
calculations needed to determine whether the Borrower is in compliance
with Section9.1 through Section9.10, inclusive, Section8.1(h),
Section8.2(e)(iv) and Section8.2(g) of the Loan Agreement as of the end
of the most recently completed fiscal quarter (except that in the case
of Compliance Certificates delivered pursuant to Section2.5(a),
Section2.9(a), Section11.1 or Section7.13, the calculations determining
compliance with Section9.1, Section9.2 and Section9.3 are based on
amounts of Unsecured Indebtedness, Pro Forma Principal Amount and Total
Liabilities which have been computed on a pro forma basis after giving
effect to the proposed transaction and, at the option of Borrower, Value
of All Unencumbered Properties, Unencumbered Net Operating Income and
Total Assets may similarly be computed on a proforma basis) and is in
compliance with Section8.7 of the Loan Agreement for the most recently
completed fiscal year and over the three most recently completed fiscal
quarters.
2. No Material Changes, Etc. Except as disclosed on Appendix II
hereto, since the [date of most recent financial statements furnished to
the Agent and the Banks], there have occurred no materially adverse
changes in the financial condition or business of the Borrower as shown
on or reflected in the balance sheet of the Borrower as at such date
other than (a) changes in the ordinary course of business that have not
had any materially adverse effect either individually or in the
aggregate on the business or financial condition of the Borrower and (b)
changes resulting from the making of the Loans and the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Agreement.
3. No Materially Adverse Contracts, Etc. Neither the Borrower nor the
Company is subject to any charter, corporate, trust, partnership or
other legal restriction, or any judgment, decree, order, rule or
regulation that has or is expected, in the reasonable judgment of the
Company's officers, in the future to have a Materially Adverse Effect.
Neither the Borrower nor the Company is a party to any contract or
agreement that has or is expected, in the reasonable judgment of the
Company's officers, to have a Materially Adverse Effect.
4. [Include for Compliance Certificates delivered pursuant to
Section7.4(d) and Section7.13]. Attached hereto as Appendix III is a
list of the Unencumbered Properties as of ____________. The Borrower
certifies that each of the Real Estate Assets listed on Appendix III
satisfied on said date each of the conditions set forth in the
definition of Unencumbered Property, except to the extent that waivers
may have been granted pursuant to Section5.2. Appendix III lists for
each Unencumbered Property its street address, name of the owner, type
(office or industrial), number of square feet and number of leased
square feet.
