Overview
COPT has built its franchise around serving the specialized requirements of our super core office customers:
The US Government, Defense Information Technology (IT) contractors, and Data Centers serving either sector
At December 31, 2010, COPT:
Owned 252 office properties in service (20.0 million SF) Was constructing or developing 21 buildings (3.0 million SF) Derived 59% of annualized rental revenues from office properties occupied primarily by super core customers 84% of our office square footage was located in the Greater Washington/Baltimore region
5
Overview
COPT’s main objective is to maximize returns on invested capital, which ultimately drives shareholder returns. Our daily focus is on:
Expanding relationships with super core tenants, i.e., customers Delivering superior service to existing customers, including the physical maintenance of our buildings Acquiring buildings and land that expand or deepen our strategic footprint Adding value through strategic developments in existing or new office parks to meet super core tenant demand
6
Overview
To achieve our main objective, COPT has:
Created unparalleled teams of asset and property managers, design and development managers with the specialized skills required to handle the complex space and security-oriented needs of our super core tenants • COPT is one of the few REITs with over 100 employees with appropriate government credentials to serve our customer base Developed projects with unique access and proximity to Government demand drivers and/or located in growth corridors • 179 of our 252 operating properties are proximate to Government demand drivers* Acquired existing buildings and projects, both strategically and opportunistically Purchased strategic land positions for future expansions
7
*Excludes Greater Baltimore, Suburban Maryland, and Greater Philadelphia regions.
Overview
Historically, COPT’s niche approach to leasing has enabled our stock to outperform NAREIT’s office REIT index
For the 10 years ended December 31, 2010, OFC delivered a cumulative total return of 456%, ranking #1 among office REITs and #14 among all equity REITs.

Excluding operating property acquisition costs, gain on early extinguishment of debt and issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred shares. The years 1998 through 2003 do not include the effect of accounting standards adopted January 1, 2009 retrospective to prior periods. In October 1997, the Shidler Group contributed office properties to Royale Investments, a midwest shopping center company. In March 1998, the Company reformed as a REIT and changed its name to Corporate Office Properties Trust.

Overview
Because office fundamentals lag the economy, 2010 was a difficult year
Even in the tough operating environment in 2010, COPT:
• • Delivered FFO/share that was within our guidance Increased our quarterly dividend by 5.1% to an annualized cash payout of $1.65 per share. This was the 13th annual increase in our 13 year public history Achieved record leasing volumes
•

Overview
The seeds of COPT’s future success are planted in the four competitive advantages we believe we have over other office landlords:
1.
Customer relationships within the US Government and Defense IT community Strategic locations of office parks to serve core tenants Balance sheet flexibility Development capacity and capability

COPT’s long-standing relationships with the US Government and Defense IT contractors is our greatest competitive advantage
We have increased our 100% concentration of annualized rental revenues from properties primarily occupied by super core tenants to 59% at year end of 2010. Our goal is to derive 65% of annualized rental revenues from super core customers by year end 2012.

COPT’s super core tenant focus capitalizes on the REITs geographic concentration in the Greater Washington/Baltimore region
Higher renewal rates – In 2010, COPT realized an average renewal rate of 72.1% with super core customers vs. only 50.5% for other office tenants. Better pricing power – Similarly, in 2010 super core tenants renewed at GAAP rents that were 3.4% above prior GAAP rents, whereas other tenants averaged only a 2.5% increase.

COPT’s strategy revolves around our customer relationships and the unique skill set established over 17 years of serving the intelligence community
COPT derives 59% of its annualized rental revenue from super core tenants
As of December 31, 2010, COPT had 883 leases, 74 of which were active leases with the US Government, the majority of which are with agencies using their own leasing entities. Of these 74 Government leases, only 14 are administered by GSA.

COPT’s stock price has stagnated since May 2009 when talk of Defense cuts began
Defense Spending
The Pentagon’s total budget doubled from the 9/11 terrorist attacks until 2009. Base spending levels are not expected to get cut; rather they are projected to increase modestly. Supplemental spending for war efforts are expected to be cut back.

Defense/IT Niche
However, much of the proposed “cuts” really are reallocations
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates proposed a defense budget of $553 billion for 2012, which would represent a 4% increase over 2010 spending $100 billion of expected savings to be garnered from legacy weapons systems and non-critical missions and reallocated toward priority missions • For example, Cybersecurity is expected to grow by as much as 9% annually over the next 5 years
21
Defense/IT Niche
The majority of COPT’s super core tenants are program contractors whose missions are not likely to be cut and may, in some instances, be augmented
Under Gates’ proposed budget: • Support contractors (who augment government staffs) are likely to face cuts • Program contractors are not likely to face cuts and may see increased funding
22
Defense/IT Niche
COPT’s existing portfolio is well positioned to weather DoD cuts
Key missions identified in latest QDR1 Counterinsurgency Stability Counterterrorism ops Building the security of partner states Deterring & defeating aggression in anti-access environments Cyberspace operations Government Demand-Drivers2 proximate to COPT properties Aberdeen Proving Ground Fort Belvoir Fort Meade/NBP Peterson Air Force Base Redstone Arsenal San Antonio Military Installations

Defense/IT Niche
Furthermore, Government agency relocations mandated by the 2005 BRAC are nearly complete
BRAC agency moves were mandated by Congress to be completed by September 15, 2011 • There is no funding or appropriations risk associated with agency BRAC moves • BRAC buildings are 90% complete and move-ins have started • Ultimately, Program and Support contractors will have to follow to keep their contracts
24
Defense/IT Niche
COPT’s portfolio features concentrations of assets around five BRAC locations
25
Defense/IT Niche
Our portfolio is positioned to benefit from up to 10 million square feet of BRAC-related demand over the next 3-5 years
There is up to 10 million square feet of off-base contractor demand related to BRAC agency moves from which COPT could benefit: • 4 million SF supporting Fort Meade • 2.5 – 3 million SF supporting Aberdeen Proving Ground • 1 million SF supporting Fort Belvoir • 2 million SF supporting Redstone Arsenal and the US Army Materiel Command

Data Centers
11751 Meadowville Lane, Meadowville Technology Park Richmond, VA
27
Data Centers
COPT entered the data center business in 2003/2004
Existing intelligence community customers needed secure, high density, blast-proof data centers Prior to acquiring Power Loft® @ Innovation in 2010, 1.5 million square feet of COPT’s office portfolio contained data centers and labs dedicated to existing super core tenants’ requirements COPT is an experienced designer, builder and operator 24/7 of stateof-the-art data centers
28
Data Centers
In 2010, COPT acquired Power Loft @ Innovation for $115.5 million, a 233,000 SF state-of-the-art facility in Northern Virginia.
Power Loft features a controlled, secured perimeter, 100,000 SF of raised floor area, with the potential for 30 megawatts of critical load. Power Loft has setbacks sufficient to become ATFP compliant, a feature many Defense/IT tenants would require.
Wholesale data centers, like Power Loft, are a natural extension of the dedicated data centers that COPT has developed over the years for core tenants.
29
Data Centers
COPT expects strong, sustained demand for modern, efficient data centers, as more corporations and government agencies migrate to Cloud computing infrastructure.
At the end of 2010, for example, the US Government finalized plans to consolidate small, inefficient data centers into Cloud computing infrastructure based at off-campus, high density, high efficiency data centers similar to those in COPT’s portfolio.

“Luck is when opportunity meets preparation.”
Seneca the Younger
COPT frequently builds new properties in advance of anticipated new demand
Many Government agencies will only lease existing buildings (versus build-to-suit) with operating leases, which enables them to avoid classifying their leases in their capital budgets.
•
This speeds the procurement process and our tenant occupancy.
COPT will build “spec” where we believe it is important to be first to market:
• The National Business Park (proven) • Sentry Gateway (in process) • Patriot Ridge (in process) • North Gate Business Park (in process)

Consistent with our strategy of catering to US Government and Defense IT sectors and data centers serving them, COPT develops properties that are proximate (or even “inside the fence”) to Government demand drivers We currently list the following as our office parks with the highest growth potential:

II. Definitions & Glossary
Acquisition costs – transaction costs expensed in connection with executed or anticipated acquisitions of operating properties. Adjusted Debt/EBITDA – debt adjusted to subtract construction in progress as of period end divided by EBITDA for the three month period, multiplied by four. BRAC – Base Realignment and Closure Commission of the United States Congress. The Congress established the 2005 BRAC Commission to ensure the integrity of the base closure and realignment process. The Commission provided an objective, non-partisan, and independent review and analysis of the list of military installation recommendations issued by the Department of Defense (DoD) on May 13, 2005. The Commission's mission is to assess whether the DoD recommendations substantially deviated from the Congressional criteria used to evaluate each military base. While giving priority to the criteria of military value, the Commission will also take into account the human impact of the base closures and will consider the possible economic, environmental, and other effects on the surrounding communities. Cloud computing infrastructure – per Wikipedia, Cloud computing is computation, software, data access, and storage services that do not require end-user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the services. Parallels to this concept can be drawn with the electricity grid where end-users consume power resources without any necessary understanding of the component devices in the grid required to provide the service. Customer – how COPT generally refers to its tenants.
Super core customer – office tenants in the United States Government and defense information technology (“defense IT”) sectors.
Debt/EBITDA – debt divided by EBITDA for the three month period, multiplied by four. Development profit or yield – calculated as cash NOI divided by the estimated total investment, before the impact of cumulative real estate impairment losses. EBITDA – net income adjusted for the effects of interest expense, depreciation and amortization and income taxes.

II. Definitions & Glossary
Fixed charges – sum of (1) interest expense on continuing and discontinued operations (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of the discount on Exchangeable Senior Notes, net of amounts capitalized), (2) dividends on preferred shares and (3) distributions on preferred units in the Operating Partnership not owned by us. Funds from Operation (“FFO”) – defined as net income computed using GAAP, excluding gains on sales of previously depreciated operating properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization. Basic FFO available to common share and common unit holders – FFO adjusted to subtract (1) preferred share dividends, (2) FFO attributable to noncontrolling interests through ownership of preferred units in the Operating Partnership or interests in other consolidated entities not owned by us, (3) Basic FFO allocable to restricted shares and (4) issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred shares. Diluted FFO available to common share and common unit holders – basic FFO adjusted to add back any changes in Basic FFO that would result from the assumed conversion of securities that are convertible or exchangeable into common shares.
FFO per share – (1) diluted FFO divided by (2) the sum of the (a) weighted average common shares outstanding during a period, (b) weighted average common units outstanding during a period and (c) weighted average number of potential additional common shares that would have been outstanding during a period if other securities that are convertible or exchangeable into common shares were converted or exchanged and that conversion or exchange would have been dilutive. GAAP – accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Greater Washington/Baltimore Region – includes counties that comprise the Baltimore/Washington Corridor, Northern Virginia, Greater Baltimore, Suburban Maryland, St. Mary’s & King George Counties, and the Washington, DC-Capitol Riverfront. As of December 31, 2010, 219 of COPT’s wholly-owned properties, were located within this defined region. Please refer to page 26 of COPT’s Supplemental Information package dated December 31, 2010 for additional detail. Gross Asset Value – when used to calculate COPT's Debt/Gross asset ratio, is calculated as follows: multiply the most recent quarter's cash NOI by four, then divide by a cap rate (currently 7.0%); plus the cost of properties acquired in the current quarter and prior two quarters; plus the GAAP book value of assets under construction, development, and land (with certain limitations); less any JV partners' interests provided that non-controlling interests do not exceed 15% of the total value. Note, in 2005 and 2006, COPT employed an 8.5% cap rate rather than the current 7.0% cap rate.
