Stock Option Agreement, be exercised by his or her personal representative or by
any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee's will or under the
then applicable laws of descent and distribution.


         7.2 Amendment; Suspension or Termination of this Plan. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 7.2, this Plan may be wholly or partially
amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time
to time by the Board or the Committee. However, without approval of the
Company's stockholders given within 12 months before or after the action by the
Board or the Committee, no action of the Board or the Committee may, except as
provided in Section 7.3, increase the limits imposed in Section 2.1 on the
maximum number of shares which may be issued under this Plan, and no action of
the Board or the Committee may be taken that would otherwise require stockholder
approval as a matter of applicable law, regulation or rule. No amendment,
suspension or termination of this Plan shall, without the consent of the holder
of Options, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Options
theretofore granted or awarded, unless the Stock Option Agreement itself
otherwise expressly so provides and no amendment shall be made that could
jeopardize the status of the Company as a real estate investment trust under the
Code or modify or delete Section 3.1(c) or the last sentence of Section 5.7. No
Options may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after
termination of this Plan.


         7.3 Changes in Shares and Other Corporate Events.

         (a) Subject to Section 7.3(d), in the event that the Committee
determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash,
Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization,
reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, liquidation,
dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company (including, but not limited to, a
Corporate Transaction), or exchange of Shares or other securities of the
Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other
securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, in
the Committee's sole discretion, affects the Shares such that an adjustment is
determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available
under the Plan or with respect to an Option, then the Committee shall, in such
manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of:

                  (i) the number and kind of Shares (or other securities or
property) with respect to which Options have been or may be granted under the
Plan (including, but not limited


                                       10

to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 2.1 on the maximum number and kind
of Shares which may be issued);

                  (ii) the number and kind of Shares (or other securities or
property) subject to outstanding Options; and

                  (iii) the exercise price with respect to any Option.

         (b) Subject to Section 7.3(d), in the event of any Corporate
Transaction or other transaction or event described in Section 7.3(a) or any
unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company, any
Affiliate of the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any
Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting
principles, the Committee is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the
following actions whenever the Committee determines that such action is
appropriate or desirable:

                  (i) in its absolute discretion, and on such terms and
conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee may provide, either by the
terms of an agreement entered into at, or by action taken prior to, the
occurrence of such transaction or event and, either automatically or upon the
Optionee's request, for the purchase of any such Option for an amount of cash
equal to the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such
Option had such Option been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested, or
the replacement of such Option with other rights or property selected by the
Committee in its sole discretion;

                  (ii) in its absolute discretion, the Committee may provide,
either by the terms of such Option or by action taken prior to the occurrence of
such transaction or event, that it cannot vest, be exercised or become payable
after such event;

                  (iii) in its absolute discretion, and on such terms and
conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee may provide, either by the
terms of such Option or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such
transaction or event, that for a specified period of time prior to transaction
or event, such Option shall be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.4 or in the provisions of
such Option;

                  (iv) in its absolute discretion, and on such terms and
conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee may provide, either by the
terms of such Option or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such
transaction or event, that upon such event, such Option be assumed by the
successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall
be substituted for by similar options covering the stock of the successor or
survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate
adjustments as to the number and kind of Shares and prices which are the subject
of such Option; and

                  (v) in its absolute discretion, and on such terms and
conditions as it deems appropriate, the Committee may make adjustments in the
number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to
outstanding Options, and/or in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria
included in, outstanding Options and Options which may be granted in the future.

         (c) Subject to Sections 7.3(d) and 7.8, the Committee may, in its
absolute discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any
Option or Share as it may deem equitable and in the best interest of the
Company.

         (d) With respect to Options, no adjustment or action described in this
Section 7.3 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the
extent that such adjustment or action would result in short-swing profits
liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or violate the exemptive
conditions of Rule 16b-3 unless the Committee determines that the Option is not
to comply with such exemptive conditions. The number of Shares subject to any
Option shall always be rounded to the next whole number.

         7.4 Approval of Plan by Stockholders. This Plan will be submitted for
the approval of the Company's stockholders within 12 months after the date of
the Board's initial adoption of this Plan. Options may be granted prior to such
stockholder approval, provided, that such Options shall not be exercisable prior
to the time when this Plan is approved by the stockholders and, provided
further, that, if such approval has not been obtained at the end of said 12
month period, all Options previously granted under this Plan shall thereupon be
cancelled and shall automatically become null and void.

         7.5 Tax Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to require payment
in cash or deduction from other compensation payable to each Optionee of any
sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to
the issuance, vesting or exercise of any Option.

         7.6 Loans. An Employer may, in its discretion, extend one or more loans
to Employees in connection with the exercise or receipt of an Option granted
under this Plan. The terms and conditions of any such loan shall be set by the
board of directors of the Employer.

         7.7 Forfeiture Provisions. Pursuant to its general authority to
determine the terms and conditions applicable to Options granted under the Plan,
the Committee shall have the right (to the extent consistent with the applicable
exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3) to provide, in the terms of a Stock Option
Agreement, or by separate written instrument, that (i) any proceeds, gains or
other economic benefit actually or constructively received by an Optionee upon
the receipt or exercise of the Option, or upon the receipt or resale of any
Shares underlying such Option, must be paid to the Company, and (ii) the Option
shall terminate and any unexercised portion of such Option (whether or not
vested) shall be forfeited, if (a) a Termination of Employment occurs prior to a
specified date, or within a specified time period following receipt or exercise
of the Option, or (b) the Optionee, at any time, or during a specified time
period, engages in any activity in competition with his or her Employer or the
Company, or which is inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of his or
her Employer or the Company, as may be further defined from time to time by the
Committee.

         7.8 Limitations Applicable to Section 16. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan, this Plan, and any Option granted to any individual who
is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any
additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section
16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are
requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted
by applicable


                                       12

law, the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such
applicable exemptive rule.

         7.9 Effect of Plan Upon Options and Compensation Plans. The adoption of
this Plan shall not affect any other options or compensation or incentive plans
in effect for the Company. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to limit the
right of the Company (i) to establish any other forms of incentives or
compensation for employees of the Company, the Manager or the Advisor, or (ii)
to grant or assume options or other rights or awards otherwise than under this
Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose including, but not by way
of limitation, the grant or assumption of options in connection with the
acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise of the
business, stock or assets of any corporation, partnership, limited liability
company, firm or association.

         7.10 Section 83(b) Election Prohibited. No Optionee may make an
election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to any Option granted
under this Plan without the Company's consent.

         7.11 Compliance with Laws. This Plan, the granting and vesting of
Options under this Plan, the issuance and delivery of Shares, and the payment of
money or other consideration allowable under Section 5.2(d) of this Plan or
under Options awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all applicable
federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including, but not limited to,
state and federal securities laws and federal margin requirements) and to such
approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the
opinion of counsel for the Committee, the Board or the Company, be necessary or
advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under this Plan
shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities
shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations
to the Company as the Committee, the Board or the Company may deem necessary or
desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan shall be deemed amended to the
extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

         7.12 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are
not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Plan.

         7.13 Governing Law. This Plan and any agreements hereunder shall be
administered, interpreted and enforced under the internal laws of the State of
Colorado without regard to conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

         7.14 Conflicts with Company's Articles of Incorporation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, no Optionee shall acquire or
have any right to acquire any Shares, and shall not have other rights under this
Plan, which are prohibited under the Company's Articles of Incorporation.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this 2002 Employee Stock Option Plan was adopted by
the Board of directors of the Company and approved by the sole Shareholders of
the Company effective as of May 15, 2002.
