<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a
provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the
corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability
resulting from (1)&nbsp;actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money,
property or services or (2)&nbsp;active and deliberate dishonesty established by a
final judgment and which is material to the cause of action. Our charter
contains a provision which eliminates directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability to the
maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our charter authorizes us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland
law, to obligate ourselves to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable
expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (1)&nbsp;any present or
former director or officer or (2)&nbsp;any individual who, while a director or

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">request, serves or has served another REIT, corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a
trustee, director, officer or partner of such REIT, corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise from and
against any claim or liability to which such individual may become subject or
which such individual may incur by reason of his status as a present or former
director or officer of our company. Our bylaws obligate us, 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 (1)&nbsp;any
present or former director or officer who is made a party to the proceeding by
reason of his service in that capacity or (2)&nbsp;any individual who, while a
director or officer of our company and at our request, serves or has served
another REIT, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise as a trustee, director, officer or partner 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 or may incur by
reason of his status as a present or former director or officer of the company.
Our charter and bylaws also permit us to indemnify and advance expenses to any
individual who served a predecessor of our company in any of the capacities
described above and to any employee or agent of our company or a predecessor of
our company.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides
otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who
has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his service in that
capacity. Maryland law 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 (1)
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 a
result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (2)&nbsp;the director or officer
actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services
or (3)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had
reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, a
Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or
in the right if the corporation or if the director or officer was adjudged to
be liable on the basis of an improperly received personal benefit, unless in
either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. Maryland
law permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or
officer upon the corporation&#146;s receipt of (1)&nbsp;a written affirmation by the
director or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of
conduct necessary for indemnification and (2)&nbsp;a written undertaking by him or
on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by us if it shall
ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our executive
officers and directors whereby we indemnify such executive officers and
directors to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law against all expenses
and liabilities, subject to limited exceptions. The form of indemnification
agreement requires us to indemnify the director or officer party thereto, the
indemnitee, against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in
settlement and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee
or on his or her behalf in connection with a proceeding other than one
initiated by or on behalf of us. In addition, the form of indemnification
agreement requires us to indemnify the indemnitee against all amounts paid in
settlement and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee
or on his or her behalf in connection with a proceeding that is brought by or
on behalf of us. In either case, the indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification if it is established that one of the exceptions to
indemnification under Maryland law set forth above exists.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the indemnification agreement requires us to advance
reasonable expenses incurred by the indemnitee within 10&nbsp;days of the receipt by
us of a statement from the indemnitee requesting the advance, provided the
statement evidences the expenses and is accompanied by:

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement,



<P align="left" style="margin-left:5%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:5%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Registration Statement; and



<P align="left" style="margin-left:5%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><I>provided, however</I>, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this 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.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a
provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the
corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability
resulting from (1) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money,
property or services or (2) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a
final judgment and which is material to the cause of action. Our charter
contains a provision which eliminates directors' and officers' liability to the
maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.
Our charter authorizes us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland
law, to obligate ourselves to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable
expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (1) any present or
former director or officer or (2) any individual who, while a director or
officer of our company and at our
Table of Contents
request, serves or has served another REIT, corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a
trustee, director, officer or partner of such REIT, corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise from and
against any claim or liability to which such individual may become subject or
which such individual may incur by reason of his status as a present or former
director or officer of our company. Our bylaws obligate us, 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 (1) any
present or former director or officer who is made a party to the proceeding by
reason of his service in that capacity or (2) any individual who, while a
director or officer of our company and at our request, serves or has served
another REIT, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise as a trustee, director, officer or partner 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 or may incur by
reason of his status as a present or former director or officer of the company.
Our charter and bylaws also permit us to indemnify and advance expenses to any
individual who served a predecessor of our company in any of the capacities
described above and to any employee or agent of our company or a predecessor of
our company.
Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides
otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who
has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his service in that
capacity. Maryland law 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 (1)
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 a
result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (2) the director or officer
actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services
or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had
reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, a
Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or
in the right if the corporation or if the director or officer was adjudged to
be liable on the basis of an improperly received personal benefit, unless in
either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. Maryland
law permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or
officer upon the corporation's receipt of (1) a written affirmation by the
director or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of
conduct necessary for indemnification and (2) a written undertaking by him or
on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by us if it shall
ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our executive
officers and directors whereby we indemnify such executive officers and
directors to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law against all expenses
and liabilities, subject to limited exceptions. The form of indemnification
agreement requires us to indemnify the director or officer party thereto, the
indemnitee, against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in
settlement and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee
or on his or her behalf in connection with a proceeding other than one
initiated by or on behalf of us. In addition, the form of indemnification
agreement requires us to indemnify the indemnitee against all amounts paid in
settlement and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee
or on his or her behalf in connection with a proceeding that is brought by or
on behalf of us. In either case, the indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification if it is established that one of the exceptions to
indemnification under Maryland law set forth above exists.
In addition, the indemnification agreement requires us to advance
reasonable expenses incurred by the indemnitee within 10 days of the receipt by
us of a statement from the indemnitee requesting the advance, provided the
statement evidences the expenses and is accompanied by:
•
a written affirmation of the indemnitee's good faith belief
that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification, and
•
an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the
amount if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct
was not met.
The form of indemnification agreement also provides for procedures for the
determination of entitlement to indemnification, including requiring such
determination be made by independent counsel after a change of control of us.

In addition, our directors and officers are indemnified for specified
liabilities and expenses pursuant to the partnership agreement of BioMed
Realty, L.P., the partnership in which we serve as sole general partner.
Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of directors,
officers or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities
Act, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

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 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) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed 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

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.
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 Section 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 this 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.

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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
