Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Grant of Restricted Stock.
(2)	These profits interest units of BioMed Realty, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") were granted on January 30, 2008 pursuant to the 2004 Incentive Award Plan of the Operating Partnership and BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company"). The LTIP Units are subject to time-based restrictions.
(3)	Upon the occurrence of certain "triggering events," the LTIP Units can over time achieve full parity with common units of the Operating Partnership for all purposes, and therefore accrete to an economic value equivalent to one share of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis. If such parity is reached, vested LTIP Units convert to common units of the Operating Partnership and then may be redeemed for cash in an amount equal to the then fair value of an equal number of shares of common stock or converted into an equal number of shares of common stock, as determined by the Company.
(4)	The LTIP Units do not have an expiration date.
(5)	LTIP Units are subject to vesting 20% on each of January 1, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Upon the occurrence of certain "triggering events," the LTIP Units can over time achieve full parity with common units of the Operating Partnership for all purposes, and therefore accrete to an economic value equivalent to one share of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis. If such parity is reached, vested LTIP Units convert to common units of the Operating Partnership and then may be redeemed for cash in an amount equal to the then fair value of an equal number of shares of common stock or converted into an equal number of shares of common stock, as determined by the Company.
