(2) Assumes 41,040,710 outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer as reported in the Issuer's most recent Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. This Amendment No. 6 is filed by Lazard Freres Real Estate Investors L.L.C., a New York limited liability company ("LFREI"), LF Strategic Realty Investors L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("LF Realty"), Commonwealth Atlantic Operating Properties Inc., a Virginia corporation ("CAOP"), Commonwealth Atlantic Land V Inc., a Virginia corporation ("CAL V"), Commonwealth Atlantic Properties Inc., a Virginia corporation ("CAPI"), Commonwealth Atlantic Properties Investors Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("CAPIT") and Lazard Freres & Co. LLC, a New York limited liability company ("Lazard" and together with LFREI, LF Realty, CAOP, CAL V, CAPI and CAPIT, the "Reporting Persons"). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D dated July 31, 1999, as amended, filed by the Reporting Persons (as amended, the "Initial Schedule 13D"). This Amendment No. 6 hereby amends and supplements the Initial Schedule 13D. All items not described herein remain as previously reported in the Initial Schedule 13D. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. (a) As a result of the sale of Preferred Units to Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), as described in Item 5(c), CAOP owns of record and beneficially 901,613 Preferred Units, subject to the Partnership's agreement to acquire such Preferred Units on or prior to March 15, 2004 as described in Item 5(c). Each of these 901,613 Preferred Units has a stated value of $50.00 and may be converted at the option of CAOP for Class A Units at a conversion price of $28.00 per share. Assuming the conversion by CAOP of its Preferred Units into Class A Units at a conversion price of $28.00 per share, the subsequent conversion of such Class A Units into Common Shares and no accumulated, accrued and unpaid distributions at the time of conversion, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own Common Shares of the Issuer as follows: 1. CAOP will own of record and beneficially 1,610,023, or 3.77%, of the outstanding Common Shares; 2. CAL V, as a shareholder of CAOP, may be deemed to beneficially own 1,610,023, or 3.77%, of the outstanding Common Shares; 3. CAPI, as the sole shareholder of CAL V and a shareholder of CAOP, may be deemed to beneficially own 1,610,023, or 3.77%, of the outstanding Common Shares; 4. CAPIT and LF Realty, as shareholders of CAPI, may be deemed to beneficially own 1,610,023, or 3.77%, of the outstanding Common Shares; 5. LF Realty may be deemed to beneficially own 1,610,583 Common Shares (560 of which it owns of record and beneficially, and 1,610,023 of which it may be deemed to beneficially own as a shareholder of CAPI and CAPIT), or 3.78%, of the outstanding Common Shares; 6. LFREI, as the general partner of LF Realty, may be deemed to beneficially own 1,610,583, or 3.78%, of the outstanding Common Shares; and 7. Lazard, as the managing member of LFREI, may be deemed to beneficially own 1,610,583, or 3.78%, of the outstanding Common Shares. LFREI and Lazard disclaim beneficial ownership of any of the Common Shares reported in this statement. (b) Assuming full conversion in each case as described above, CAOP would have the power to vote or dispose of or direct the vote or disposition of the 1,610,023 Common Shares it owns of record. CAL V, as a shareholder of CAOP, may be deemed to have the shared power, along with CAPI, to direct the vote or disposition of the Common Shares owned by CAOP. CAPI, as the direct and indirect shareholder of CAOP, may be deemed to have the sole power to direct the vote or disposition of the Common Shares owned by CAOP. CAPIT as a shareholder of CAPI may be deemed to have the shared power, along with LF Realty, to direct the vote or disposition of the Common Shares held by CAOP. LFREI and Lazard would each have the sole power to direct the vote and disposition of 1,610,583 Common Shares representing the 1,610,023 Common Shares held by CAOP and the 560 Common Shares held indirectly by LF Realty. LF Realty has the sole power to direct the vote and disposition of the 560 Common Shares it owns of record. (c) On February 3, 2004, CAOP and the Partnership entered into that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 3, 2004 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and between CAOP and the Partnership, pursuant to which CAOP agreed to sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Partnership, and the Partnership agreed to accept, acquire and take delivery of, an aggregate number of 1,950,000 Preferred Units, subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on February 6, 2004 the Partnership acquired from CAOP 1,048,387 Preferred Units for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000,000 plus $386,304.69 of accumulated, accrued and unpaid distributions on the Preferred Units sold through February 6, 2004, or approximately $48.06 per unit, and agreed to acquire from CAOP, subject to certain conditions set out in the Purchase Agreement, 901,613 additional Preferred Units for an aggregate purchase price of $43,000,000 (plus any accumulated, accrued and unpaid distributions through the closing date), or approximately $47.69 per unit (not including accumulated, accrued and unpaid distributions through closing), on or prior to March 15, 2004. (e) As of February 6, 2004, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding Common Shares. ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. As discussed above, on February 3, 2004, CAOP and the Partnership entered into the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which CAOP agreed to sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Partnership, and the Partnership agreed to accept, acquire and take delivery of, an aggregate number of 1,950,000 Preferred Units, subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.

At the Initial Closing, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller cash in the amount set forth on Schedule A hereto (the aggregate amount payable by the Purchaser at the Initial Closing, the "Initial Purchase Price"). The Initial Purchase Price shall be paid to the Seller by means of a wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Seller in writing. b. Subsequent Closings. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the closing or, as the case may be, closings (each, a "Subsequent Closing" and collectively, the "Subsequent Closings"; the Initial Closing and the Subsequent Closings together are referred to herein as the "Closings") of the purchase and sale of the Second Tranche Units and the deliveries required at each Subsequent Closing shall occur via certified mail, overnight courier, email and/or facsimile delivery and at such time or times on or prior to March 15, 2004 as may be designated by the Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to a written notice (each, a "Subsequent Closing Notice") provided no less than three Business Days in advance of each Subsequent Closing. Each Subsequent Closing Notice shall specify the date of the Subsequent Closing and the number of Second Tranche Units that shall be purchased and sold at such Subsequent Closing. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall purchase all of the Second Tranche Units in one or more (but no more than three) Subsequent Closings on or prior to March 15, 2004. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Business Days" shall mean a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday on which national banks located in the State of New York are not open for general banking business. (ii) If the Purchaser elects to purchase all of the Second Tranche Units at a single Subsequent Closing, then the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller cash in the amount set forth on Schedule B hereto (the "One Subsequent Closing Purchase Price") less the Deposit (as defined below), which amount shall be paid to the Seller by means of a wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Seller in writing, and the Deposit shall automatically be released to and retained by the Seller. (iii) If the Purchaser elects to purchase the Second Tranche Units at two or three Subsequent Closings, then the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller in cash at each Subsequent Closing (at which there remain additional Second Tranche Units that have not yet been purchased), an amount equal to the amount set forth on Schedule C hereto (each, a "Multiple Subsequent Closings Purchase Price"), which amount shall be paid to the Seller by means of a wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Seller in writing. At the Subsequent Closing at which the Purchaser shall purchase any remaining Second Tranche Units that were not purchased at prior Subsequent Closings (the "Final Subsequent Closing"), the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller cash in an amount equal to the Multiple Subsequent Closings Purchase Price (the "Final Subsequent Closing Purchase Price") less the Deposit (or that portion remaining if any portion of the Deposit was applied at a prior Subsequent Closing as contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 2(b)(iii)), which amount shall be paid to the Seller by means of a wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Seller in writing, and the Deposit shall automatically be released to and retained by the Seller. In the event that at any Subsequent Closing the portion of the Multiple Subsequent Closings Purchase Price payable at such Subsequent Closing that is applicable to the amount referenced in Clause (A) of the first sentence of Schedule C attached hereto, together with all amounts paid by Purchaser at a prior Subsequent Closing that were applicable to the amount referenced in such Clause (A), would exceed $39,000,000 then that portion of the Multiple Subsequent Closings Purchase Price which exceeds $39,000,000 and that relates to the amount referenced in such Clause (A) will be paid from the Deposit (defined below). c. Deposit. (i) Contemporaneously with the delivery of the Initial Purchase Price to the Seller in accordance with Section 2(a), the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller cash in the amount of $4,000,000 (together with any earnings thereon, the "Deposit") by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an interest bearing bank account designated by the Seller in writing. The Seller shall hold the Deposit in such bank account until the Deposit shall automatically be released to and retained by the Seller and credited toward the payment of the One Subsequent Closing Purchase Price or the Final Subsequent Closing Purchase Price, as applicable, to be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller at the applicable Subsequent Closing in accordance with Section 2(b)(ii) or 2(b)(iii). (ii) If the Purchaser fails to purchase all of the Second Tranche Units on or prior to March 15, 2004 pursuant to the terms hereof, and at such time the Seller shall not be in material breach of its obligations hereunder, then at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 15, 2004, the Deposit shall automatically be released to and retained by the Seller; provided, however, that if the Seller is in material breach of any of its obligations hereunder on March 15, 2004 and such breach is cured within 10 days, and the Purchaser thereafter fails to purchase all of the Second Tranche Units on or prior March 25, 2004, then at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 25, 2004, the Deposit shall automatically be released to and retained by the Seller. (iii) The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge, stipulate and agree that the damages that may be suffered by the Seller as a result of a failure of the Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated to be consummated at the Subsequent Closings under the circumstances described in Section 2(c)(ii) would be difficult to ascertain with precision, that the Deposit represents a reasonable and fair estimation of such damages and that there would not be a convenient and adequate alternative to liquidated damages hereunder. Any retention by the Seller of the Deposit pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii) is intended not as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages under the applicable laws, regulations and rules of any governmental or regulatory body or agency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Seller's right under such circumstances to retain the Deposit as full liquidated damages shall be the Seller's sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any contractual claim in the event of default by the Purchaser hereunder and, upon retention of the Deposit by the Seller, the Seller shall be deemed to have waived and released any right to sue the Purchaser for specific performance of this Agreement or to recover any damages or other amounts in excess of the Deposit based on a contractual claim, and the Purchaser thereupon shall be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities arising out of this Agreement to such extent. (iv) In the event that the transactions contemplated to be consummated at the Subsequent Closings have not been consummated on or prior to March 15, 2004 for any reason other than under the circumstances described in Section 2(c)(ii), then, upon termination of this Agreement, the Deposit shall promptly be refunded to the Purchaser. d. The Purchaser's Condition to Closing. The obligation of the Purchaser to proceed with each Closing shall be conditional upon: (i) Receipt by the Purchaser from the Seller of a certificate, dated as of the date of such Closing, of an executive officer of the Seller, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, to the effect that all representations and warranties made by the Seller in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of such Closing; and (ii) There being in existence no injunction, judgment or order of a court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction or any condition imposed under any law or regulation which would prohibit the purchase of the Preferred Units to be purchased at such Closing. e. The Seller's Conditions to Closing. The obligation of the Seller to proceed with each Closing shall be conditional upon: (i) Receipt by the Seller from the Purchaser of a certificate, dated as of the date of such Closing, of an executive officer of Brandywine Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust and sole general partner of the Purchaser in a form satisfactory to the Seller, to the effect that all representations and warranties made by the Purchaser in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of such Closing; and (ii) There being in existence no injunction, judgment or order of any court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction or any condition imposed under any law or regulation which would prohibit the purchase or sale of the Preferred Units to be purchased and sold at such Closing. f.

The Initial Closing shall be completed when each of the following has been delivered, all of which shall be deemed to have taken place simultaneously: (A) The Purchaser shall have delivered to the Seller the Initial Purchase Price; and (B) The Seller shall have delivered to the Purchaser a certificate or certificates evidencing the First Tranche Units, which certificate(s) shall be duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed powers.

(B) If the Purchaser elects to purchase all of the Second Tranche Units at a single time pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii), or at the Final Subsequent Closing, the Deposit shall have been automatically released to and be retained by the Seller in accordance with Section 2(c)(i); and (C) The Seller shall have delivered to the Purchaser a certificate or certificates evidencing the portion of the Second Tranche Units to be purchased and sold at such Subsequent Closing, which certificate(s) shall be duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed powers. 3.
