AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED
AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of the 2^nd day of February, 2010 by and between                      (“Executive”) and Brandywine Realty Trust (the “Company”) and amends and restates in its entirety the Agreement dated  _____  (the “Prior Agreement”) between Executive and Company.

WHEREAS, Executive is currently employed by the Company and/or a Subsidiary (as defined below) of the Company;

WHEREAS, in order to encourage Executive to remain an employee of the Company and/or a Subsidiary, the Company is entering into this Agreement with Executive.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Payment Obligation: Change of Control. The Company agrees that if (i) a Change of Control of the Company occurs at a time when Executive is then an employee of the Company and/or a Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) within 730 days following the occurrence of the Change of Control (a) the Company or the purchaser or successor thereto (the “Purchaser”) terminates the employment of Executive other than for Cause or (b) Executive resigns for Good Reason:

a. then the Company or Purchaser will be obligated to pay to Executive an amount equal to the product of: (x)   _____  multiplied by (y) the sum of (1) Executive’s annual base salary as in effect at the time the Change of Control occurs plus (2) the greater of (i) the annual bonus most recently paid to Executive prior to the date of the occurrence of the Change of Control and (ii) Executive’s Target Bonus for the calendar year in which the Change of Control occurs, provided that if a Target Bonus has not been established for the calendar year in which the Change of Control occurs at the time of such occurrence, then the amount to be used for purposes of this clause (2) shall be the annual bonus most recently paid to Executive prior to the date of the occurrence of the Change of Control. Payment of the amounts provided for in this Section 1.a shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable following Executive’s termination or resignation, but, in any event, not later than ten (10) days after such termination or resignation.

b. Executive shall be entitled to continuation of medical coverage until the earlier of (1) the last day of the 730 day period following the date of termination or resignation or (2) the date on which the Executive is eligible for medical coverage under a plan maintained by a new employer or under a plan maintained by his spouse’s employer. Coverage shall be generally comparable to that provided by the Company from time to time to similarly situated active employees (i.e., as if the Executive had continued in employment during such period). The COBRA health care continuation coverage period under section 4980B of the Code shall run concurrently with the foregoing benefit period. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to continuation of all group term life insurance benefits (but not including any supplemental life insurance benefits provided to executives), or equivalent coverage if provision of such continuation of coverage is not possible under the group term life insurance policy, at no cost to Executive for the 730 day period following the date of Executive’s termination or resignation.

c. All compensation and benefits will cease at the time Executive’s employment terminates and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 1, the Company will have no further liability or obligation by reason of such termination. The benefits described in this Section 1 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, benefits under any other severance arrangement maintained by the Company.

2. No Right to Employment. This Agreement shall not confer upon Executive any right to remain an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, and shall only entitle Executive to the payments and benefits in the limited circumstances set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above.

3. Compliance with Section 409A. If the termination giving rise to the payments described in Section 1 is not a “Separation from Service” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)(1) (or any successor provision), then the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to that section will instead be deferred without interest and will not be paid until Executive experiences a Separation from Service. In addition, to the extent compliance with the requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) is necessary to avoid the application of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code to payments due to Executive upon or following his Separation from Service, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (or any otherwise applicable plan, policy, agreement or arrangement), any such payments that are otherwise due within six months following Executive’s Separation from Service (taking into account the preceding sentence of this paragraph) will be deferred without interest and paid to Executive in a lump sum immediately following that six month period. This paragraph should not be construed to prevent the application of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(or any successor provision) to amounts payable hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, to the extent an in-kind benefit due to the Executive constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the provision of such in-kind benefits will be subject to the conditions stated in Treas. Reg. §§ 1.409A-3(i)(iv)(3), (4) and (5).

(2) consummation of a merger, reorganization or consolidation involving the Company if the shareholders of the Company immediately before such merger, reorganization or consolidation do not or will not own directly or indirectly immediately following such merger, reorganization or consolidation, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the company resulting from or surviving such merger, reorganization or consolidation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting Securities outstanding immediately before such merger, reorganization or consolidation;
