                             RAIT INVESTMENT TRUST
                               PHANTOM SHARE PLAN

                                GRANT AGREEMENT

      THIS GRANT AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the ____ day of
____________, 200__ (the "Date of Grant"), by and between RAIT Investment Trust,
a Maryland real estate investment trust, ("RAIT") and ______________, an
employee of RAIT or its subsidiaries or affiliates (the "Employee").

                                    RECITALS:

      WHEREAS, RAIT has established the RAIT Investment Trust Phantom Share Plan
(the "Plan") for the benefit of its and its subsidiaries and affiliates
employees and the non-employee members of RAIT's Board of Trustees;

      WHEREAS, in connection with the Employee's employment, the Committee has
designated the Employee as a Participant in the Plan and determined to grant the
Employee an award under the Plan; and

      WHEREAS, the Employee must designate a Beneficiary to receive any benefits
due to the Employee under the Plan subsequent to the Employee's death.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in the
Plan, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as
follows:

1. Designated Participant and Award of Rights. The Employee is designated as a
Participant in the Plan under the terms of Article IV of the Plan, effective
___________ ___, 200__. The Employee's award is for _____ Phantom Shares, which
shall be credited to the Employee's Account as of the date hereof. The Phantom
Shares shall become vested according to Paragraph 2 below.

2. Vesting. The Employee's interest in the Phantom Shares covered by this
Agreement shall become vested on the following dates, if the Employee is
employed by the Employer on the applicable date:

    Date                                        Phantom Shares that Are Vested
    ----                                        ------------------------------

_______________                                      _______________

_______________                                      _______________

_______________                                      _______________

_______________                                      _______________

<PAGE>

The vesting of the Phantom Shares is cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of
the Phantom Shares subject to this award. If the foregoing schedule would
produce fractional Phantom Shares, the number of Phantom Shares that become
vested shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Phantom Share.

3. Forfeiture of Phantom Shares. If the Employee has a Separation from Service
for any reason prior to vesting in any of the Phantom Shares as provided in
Paragraph 2, the Phantom Shares that are not vested as of the date of the
Employee's Separation from Service shall terminate and the Employee shall not
have any redemption rights with respect to any of such unvested Phantom Shares.

[Note: The following are suggested alternative redemption dates for Employee
grants.]

4. Redemption. [Commencing on _______ ____, 200__, and on each _______ ___,
thereafter while the Employee is employed by the Employer (the "Redemption
Date"), RAIT shall redeem all of the vested Phantom Shares, as provided in
Paragraph 2, then credited to the Employee's Account based on the Phantom Share
Value of such Shares as of such date; provided, however, that if the Employee
has a Separation from Service prior to any Redemption Date, the Redemption Date
for any vested Phantom Shares not redeemed by RAIT shall be the last day of the
Employee's employment with the Employer.] or [On each vesting date, as provided
in Paragraph 2, while the Employee is employed by the Employer (the "Redemption
Date"), RAIT shall redeem all of the Phantom Shares then credited to the
Employee's Account that have vested as of such date.] or [On the earlier of (i)
____ ____, 200__, or (ii) the Employee's Separation from Service (the
"Redemption Date"), RAIT shall redeem all of the vested Phantom Shares, as
provided in Paragraph 2, then credited to the Employee's Account based on the
Phantom Share Value of such Shares as of such date.] Any such redemption shall
be paid within the 45-day period following the Redemption Date in a lump sum in
cash. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if after the Date of
Grant RAIT's shareholders authorize the issuance of Shares under the Plan, the
Committee may provide, in its sole discretion, that on any Redemption Date that
occurs after such shareholder approval the vested Phantom Shares credited to the
Employee's Account will be converted to an equivalent number of Shares and the
Employee will receive a distribution of Shares in lieu of cash.

5. Dividends. If any dividends are declared with respect to the Shares after the
Date of Grant, a cash payment will be paid to the Employee by RAIT equal to the
amount of the dividend that would have been distributed if the Phantom Shares
credited to the Employee's Account at the time of the declaration of the
dividend were Shares, irrespective of whether such Phantom Shares have vested
pursuant to Paragraph 2. Such cash payment will be paid to the Employee at the
same time dividends are paid to RAIT's shareholders.
