Annotated Code of Maryland, as amended (the &#147;Maryland REIT Law&#148;) permits a
Maryland real estate investment trust to include in its declaration of trust a
provision limiting the liability of its trustees and officers to the trust and
its shareholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (i)&nbsp;actual
receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (ii)&nbsp;active
and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to
the cause of action.&nbsp; Our Declaration of Trust contains such a provision
limiting such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Declaration of Trust authorizes COPT, to the maximum extent
permitted by Maryland law, to obligate itself to indemnify and to pay or
reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding
to (a)&nbsp;any present or former Trustee or officer or (b)&nbsp;any individual
who, while a Trustee of COPT and at the request of COPT, serves or has served
another real estate investment trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a trustee, director,
officer, partner, employee or agent of such entity from and against any claim
or liability to which such person may become subject or which such person may
incur by reason of service in such capacity.&nbsp; The Bylaws obligate COPT, to
the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to indemnify and to pay or
reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding
to (i)&nbsp;any present or former Trustee or officer who is made a party to the
proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity or (ii)&nbsp;any
such Trustee or officer who, at the request of COPT, serves or has served
another real estate investment trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a trustee, director,
officer, partner, employee or agent of such entity and who is made a party to
the proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity against any claim or
liability to which he may become subject by reason of his or her status as a
present or former Trustee or officer of COPT.&nbsp; The Declaration of Trust
and the Bylaws also permit COPT to provide indemnification to any person who
served a predecessor of COPT in any of the capacities described above and to
any employee or agent of COPT or a predecessor of COPT.&nbsp; The Bylaws
require COPT to indemnify a Trustee or officer who has been successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is
made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Maryland REIT Law permits a Maryland real estate investment trust
to indemnify, and to advance expenses to, its trustees and officers, to the
same extent as permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law (&#147;MGCL&#148;) for
directors and officers of Maryland corporations.&nbsp; The MGCL permits a
corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among
others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable
expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which
they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other
capacities unless it is established that (i)&nbsp;the act or omission of the
director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding
and (a)&nbsp;was committed in bad faith or (b)&nbsp;was the result of active
and deliberate dishonesty, (ii)&nbsp;the director or officer actually received
an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (iii)&nbsp;in
the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable
cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.&nbsp; However, under
the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify in a proceeding by or in the
right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged to be liable to the
corporation or in a proceeding in which the director was adjudged liable on the
basis that a personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a
court orders indemnification and then only for expenses.&nbsp; The MGCL permits
a corporation to indemnify or advance reasonable expenses to a director or
officer in a proceeding by that director or officer against the corporation
only with respect to a proceeding brought to enforce indemnification under the
MGCL or if the charter or bylaws of the corporation, a resolution by the board
of directors, or an agreement approved by the board of directors to which the
corporation is a party expressly provides for such indemnification or
advancement.&nbsp; In addition, reasonable expenses may be advanced upon the
corporation&#146;s receipt of (a)&nbsp;a written affirmation by the director or
officer of his or her good-faith belief that he or she has met the standard of
conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b)&nbsp;a written
undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or
reimbursed by the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that the
standard of conduct was not met.&nbsp; Under the MGCL, rights to
indemnification and expenses are nonexclusive, in that they need not be limited
to those expressly provided by statute.</font></p>

against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</h1>

This
  Registration Statement covers 1,043,778 common shares of beneficial interest,
  par value $0.01, of Corporate Office Properties Trust ("Common Shares") that
  may be issued upon the exercise of options granted prior to the date hereof
  under the Corporate Office Properties Trust 1998 Long Term Incentive Plan
  (the "1998 Plan") as well as 2,900,000 Common Shares that may be offered and
  sold under the Corporate Office Properties Trust 2008 Omnibus Equity and
  Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan"). Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the
  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration
  Statement shall also cover such indeterminate number of additional Common
  Shares as may be required under the 1998 Plan or the 2008 Plan in the event
  of a share dividend, reverse share split, split-up, recapitalization, or
  other similar event.
(2)
With
  respect to the Common Shares registered on this Registration Statement that
  are issuable under the 1998 Plan upon exercise of options granted under the
  1998 Plan, the exercise price of such options has been used to calculate the
  maximum offering price pursuant to Rule 457(h)(1) under the
  Securities Act. With respect to the Common Shares that may be offered and
  sold under the 2008 Plan, the maximum offering price has been estimated
  pursuant to paragraphs (c) and (h) of Rule 457 under the
  Securities Act, solely for the purposes of determining the amount of the
  registration fee, based upon the average of the high and low sale prices of
  the Common Shares reported on the New York Stock Exchange on May 19,
  2008.

Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
Title 8 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the
Annotated Code of Maryland, as amended (the "Maryland REIT Law") permits a
Maryland real estate investment trust to include in its declaration of trust a
provision limiting the liability of its trustees and officers to the trust and
its shareholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (i) actual
receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (ii) active
and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to
the cause of action.  Our Declaration of Trust contains such a provision
limiting such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.
The Declaration of Trust authorizes COPT, to the maximum extent
permitted by Maryland law, to obligate itself to indemnify and to pay or
reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding
to (a) any present or former Trustee or officer or (b) any individual
who, while a Trustee of COPT and at the request of COPT, serves or has served
another real estate investment trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a trustee, director,
officer, partner, employee or agent of such entity from and against any claim
or liability to which such person may become subject or which such person may
incur by reason of service in such capacity.  The Bylaws obligate COPT, to
the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to indemnify and to pay or
reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding
to (i) any present or former Trustee or officer who is made a party to the
proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity or (ii) any
such Trustee or officer who, at the request of COPT, serves or has served
another real estate investment trust, corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a trustee, director,
officer, partner, employee or agent of such entity and who is made a party to
the proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity against any claim or
liability to which he may become subject by reason of his or her status as a
present or former Trustee or officer of COPT.  The Declaration of Trust
and the Bylaws also permit COPT to provide indemnification to any person who
served a predecessor of COPT in any of the capacities described above and to
any employee or agent of COPT or a predecessor of COPT.  The Bylaws
require COPT to indemnify a Trustee or officer who has been successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is
made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity.
The Maryland REIT Law permits a Maryland real estate investment trust
to indemnify, and to advance expenses to, its trustees and officers, to the
same extent as permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL") for
directors and officers of Maryland corporations.  The MGCL permits a
corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among
others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable
expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which
they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other
capacities unless it is established that (i) the act or omission of the
director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding
and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b) was the result of active
and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) the director or officer actually received
an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (iii) in
the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable
cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.  However, under
the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify in a proceeding by or in the
right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged to be liable to the
corporation or in a proceeding in which the director was adjudged liable on the
basis that a personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a
court orders indemnification and then only for expenses.  The MGCL permits
a corporation to indemnify or advance reasonable expenses to a director or
officer in a proceeding by that director or officer against the corporation
only with respect to a proceeding brought to enforce indemnification under the
MGCL or if the charter or bylaws of the corporation, a resolution by the board
of directors, or an agreement approved by the board of directors to which the
corporation is a party expressly provides for such indemnification or
advancement.  In addition, reasonable expenses may be advanced upon the
corporation's receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the director or
officer of his or her good-faith belief that he or she has met the standard of
conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b) a written
undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or
reimbursed by the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that the
standard of conduct was not met.  Under the MGCL, rights to
indemnification and expenses are nonexclusive, in that they need not be limited
to those expressly provided by statute.
The Maryland REIT Law and the Bylaws may permit indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.  The
Board of Trustees has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission,
2
indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act is contrary to public policy and is
therefore unenforceable, absent a decision to the contrary by a court of
appropriate jurisdiction.

Item 9.
Undertakings
(a)
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
(ii)
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the
4
Registration Statement. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii)
To include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
Provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) of this Item 9 do not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2)
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b)
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
