the Stock Acquisition Date occurs before the Record Date, the Close of Business
on the Record Date (or such later date as may be determined by the Board with
the concurrence of a majority of the Continuing Trustees)) or (ii) the Close of
Business on the tenth Business Day (or such specified or unspecified later date
as may be determined by the Board with the concurrence of a majority of the
Continuing Trustees) after the date that a tender or exchange offer by any
Person (other than a Person qualifying as an Exempt Person under clauses (i),
(ii) or (iii) under the definition of Exempt Person herein) has been commenced
within the meaning of Rule 14d-2(a) of the General Rules and Regulations under
the Exchange Act, if upon consummation thereof, such Person would become an
Acquiring Person, in either instance other than pursuant to a Qualified Offer
(the earlier of (i) and (ii) being herein referred to as the “Distribution Date”),
(x) the Rights will be evidenced (subject to the provisions of paragraphs (b)
and (c) of this Section 3) by the certificates for the Common Shares of the
Company registered in the names of the holders of the Common Shares of the
Company and not by separate certificates and (y) the Rights will be
transferable only in connection with the transfer of the underlying Common
Shares of the Company (including a transfer to the Company).  As soon as practicable after the Distribution
Date, the Rights Agent will send by first-class, insured, postage prepaid mail,
to each record holder of the Common Shares of the Company as of the Close of
Business on the Distribution Date, at the address of such holder shown on the
records of the Company, one or more rights certificates in substantially the
form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Rights Certificates”) evidencing one
Right for each Common Share of the Company so held, subject to adjustment as
provided herein.  In the event that an
adjustment in the number of Rights per Common Share of the Company has been
made pursuant to Section 11(i) hereof, at the time of distribution of the
Rights Certificates, the Company shall make the necessary and appropriate
rounding adjustments (in accordance with Section 14(a) hereof) so that Rights
Certificates representing only whole numbers of Rights are distributed and cash
is paid in lieu of any fractional Rights. 
As of and after the Distribution Date, the Rights will be evidenced
solely by such Rights Certificates.

(b)       The Company will make available, as promptly as
practicable following the Record Date, a copy of a Summary of Rights in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Summary of
Rights”) to any holder of Rights who may so request from time to time prior to
the Expiration Date.  With respect to

 7
 

certificates
for the Common Shares of the Company outstanding as of the Record Date or
issued subsequent to the Record Date, unless and until the Distribution Date
shall occur, the Rights will be evidenced by such certificates for the Common
Shares of the Company with or without a copy of the Summary of Rights attached,
and the registered holders of the Common Shares of the Company shall also be
the registered holders of the associated Rights.  Until the earlier of the Distribution Date or
the Expiration Date, the transfer of any certificates representing Common
Shares of the Company in respect of which Rights have been issued shall also
constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with such Common Shares of the
Company.

(c)       Rights shall be issued in respect of all Common Shares
of the Company which are issued (whether originally issued or a reissuance of a
Common Share of the Company previously issued) after the Record Date but prior
to the earlier of the Distribution Date or the Expiration Date, and to the
extent provided in Section 22 hereof, in respect of Common Shares of the
Company issued after the Distribution Date and prior to the Expiration
Date.  Subject to Section 3(a) hereof,
certificates representing such Common Shares of the Company shall also be
deemed to be certificates for Rights, and shall bear the following legend if
such certificates are issued after the Record Date but prior to the earlier of
the Distribution Date or the Expiration Date:

This certificate also evidences and entitles the holder hereof to
certain Rights as set forth in the Renewed Rights Agreement between Hospitality
Properties Trust (the “Company”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
(the “Rights Agent”), dated as of May 15, 2007 (the “Renewed Rights Agreement”),
the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and a copy of
which is on file at the principal offices of the Company.  Under certain circumstances, as set forth in
the Renewed Rights Agreement, such Rights will be evidenced by separate certificates
and will no longer be evidenced by this certificate.  The Company will mail to the holder of this
certificate a copy of the Renewed Rights Agreement, as in effect on the date of
mailing, without charge promptly after receipt of a written request therefor.  Under certain circumstances set forth in the
Renewed Rights Agreement, Rights beneficially owned (as such term is defined in
the Renewed Rights Agreement) by any Person who is, was or becomes an Acquiring
Person, or any Affiliate or Associate thereof (as such terms are defined in the
Renewed Rights Agreement), whether currently held by or on behalf of such
Person or by any subsequent holder, may become null and void.  The Rights shall not be exercisable, and
shall be void so long as held, by a holder in any jurisdiction where the requisite
qualification to the issuance to such holder, or the exercise by such holder,
of the Rights in such jurisdiction shall not have been obtained or be
obtainable.

With respect to
such certificates containing the foregoing legend, until the earlier of the Distribution
Date or the Expiration Date, the Rights associated with the Common

 8
 

Shares of the Company
represented by such certificates shall be evidenced by such certificates alone,
and registered holders of Common Shares of the Company shall also be the registered
holders of the associated Rights, and the transfer of any of such certificates
shall also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common
Shares of the Company represented by such certificates.

Section
4.       Form of Rights Certificates.

(a)       The Rights Certificates (and the forms of assignment
and election to purchase to be printed on the reverse thereof) shall each be
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and may have
such marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries or
endorsements printed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to
comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant
thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the
Rights may from time to time be listed, or to conform to usage.  Subject to the provisions of Section 11 and
Section 22 hereof, the Rights Certificates, whenever distributed, shall be
dated as of the Record Date and on their face shall entitle the holders thereof
to purchase such number of Common Shares of the Company as shall be set forth
therein at the exercise price set forth therein (such exercise price per Common
Shares of the Company, as adjusted from time to time hereunder, the “Purchase
Price”), but the amount and type of securities purchasable upon the exercise of
each Right and the Purchase Price thereof shall be subject to adjustment as
provided herein.

(b)       Any Rights Certificate issued pursuant to Section
3(a), Section 11(i) or Section 22 hereof that represents Rights beneficially
owned by (i) an Acquiring Person or any Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring
Person, (ii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or
Affiliate) who becomes a transferee after the Acquiring Person becomes such or
(iii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or
Affiliate) who becomes a transferee prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring
Person becoming such and receives such Rights pursuant to either (A) a transfer
(whether or not for consideration) from the Acquiring Person to holders of
equity interests in such Acquiring Person or to any Person with whom such
Acquiring Person has any continuing agreement, arrangement or understanding
regarding the transferred Rights or (B) a transfer which has been determined by
the Continuing Trustees, within the maximum period allowed under Maryland law
for limiting the power of a future director to vote in this regard following a
Section 23(a) Event, or if such determination is not made until after such
period expires, by a majority of the Board, to be part of a plan, arrangement
or understanding which has as a primary purpose or effect avoidance of Section
7(e) hereof, and any Rights Certificate issued pursuant to Section 6 or Section
11 hereof upon transfer, exchange, replacement or adjustment of any other
Rights Certificate referred to in this sentence, shall contain (to the extent
feasible) the following legend:

The Rights represented by this Rights Certificate are
or were beneficially owned by a Person who was or became an Acquiring Person or
an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person (as such

 9
 

terms are defined in the Renewed Rights
Agreement).  Accordingly, this Rights
Certificate and the Rights represented hereby may become null and void in the
circumstances specified in Section 7(e) of the Renewed Rights Agreement.

Section 5.       Countersignature
and Registration.

(a)         The Rights Certificates shall be executed on behalf of
the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its President, any Vice President,
the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, either manually or by facsimile
signature, and shall have affixed thereto the Company’s seal or a facsimile
thereof which shall be attested by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of
the Company, either manually or by facsimile signature.  The Rights Certificates shall be
countersigned by the Rights Agent, either manually or by facsimile signature,
and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned.  In case any officer of the Company who shall
have signed any of the Rights Certificates shall cease to be such officer of
the Company before countersignature by the Rights Agent and issuance and delivery
by the Company, such Rights Certificates, nevertheless, may be countersigned by
the Rights Agent and issued and delivered by the Company with the same force
and effect as though the person who signed such Rights Certificates had not
ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Rights Certificates may be
signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the
execution of such Rights Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company
to sign such Rights Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this
Rights Agreement any such person was not such an officer.

(b)        Following the Distribution Date, the Rights Agent will
keep or cause to be kept, at its principal office or offices designated as the
appropriate place for surrender of Rights Certificates upon exercise or
transfer, books for registration and transfer of the Rights Certificates issued
hereunder.  Such books shall show the
names and addresses of the respective holders of the Rights Certificates, the
number of Rights evidenced on its face by each of the Rights Certificates and
the date of each of the Rights Certificates.

Section 6.       Transfer,
Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Rights Certificates; Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Rights Certificates.

(a)         Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b), Section
7(e) and Section 14 hereof, at any time after the Close of Business on the
Distribution Date, and at or prior to the Close of Business on the Expiration
Date, any Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates (other than Rights
Certificates representing Rights that may have been exchanged pursuant to
Section 29 hereof) may be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged for
another Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates, entitling the registered
holder to purchase a like number of Common Shares of the Company (or, following
a Triggering Event, other securities, cash or other assets, as the case may be)
as the Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates surrendered then entitles such
holder (or former holder in the case of a transfer) to purchase.  Any registered holder desiring to transfer,
split up, combine or exchange any Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates
shall make such

 10
 

request
in writing delivered to the Rights Agent, and shall surrender the Rights
Certificate or Rights Certificates to be transferred, split up, combined or
exchanged at the principal office or offices of the Rights Agent designated for
such purpose.  Neither the Rights Agent
nor the Company shall be obligated to take any action whatsoever with respect
to the transfer or exchange of any such surrendered Rights Certificate or
Rights Certificates until the registered holder shall have completed and signed
the certificate contained in the form of assignment on the reverse side of such
Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates and shall have provided such
additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former
Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates thereof as the Company shall
reasonably request.  Thereupon the Rights
Agent shall, subject to Section 4(b), Section 7(e), Section 14 and Section 29
hereof, countersign and deliver to the Person entitled thereto a Rights
Certificate or Rights Certificates, as the case may be, as so requested.  The Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer, split up, combination or exchange of Rights
Certificates.

(b)        Upon receipt by the Company and the Rights Agent of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to each of them of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of a valid Rights Certificate, and, in case of loss,
theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to each
of them, and reimbursement to the Company and the Rights Agent of all
reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender to the Rights Agent
and cancellation of the Rights Certificate if mutilated, the Company will
execute and deliver a new Rights Certificate of like tenor to the Rights Agent
for countersignature and delivery to the registered owner in lieu of the Rights
Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated.

Section 7.       Exercise
of Rights; Purchase Price; Expiration Date of Rights.

(a)         Subject to Section 7(e) hereof, at any time after the
Distribution Date, the registered holder of any Rights Certificate may exercise
the Rights evidenced thereby (except as otherwise provided herein including,
without limitation, the restrictions on exercisability set forth in Section
9(c), Section 11(a)(iii) and Section 23(a) hereof) in whole or in part upon
surrender of the Rights Certificate, with the form of election to purchase and
the certificate on the reverse side thereof duly executed, to the Rights Agent
at the principal office or offices of the Rights Agent designated for such
purpose, together with payment of the aggregate Purchase Price with respect to
the total number of Common Shares of the Company (or other securities, cash or
other assets, as the case may be) as to which such surrendered Rights are then
exercisable, at or prior to the earliest of (i) the Final Expiration Date, (ii)
the time at which the Rights are redeemed as provided in Section 23 hereof or
exchanged as provided in Section 29 hereof or (iii) the time at which the Rights
expire pursuant to Section 13(d) hereof (the earliest of (i), (ii) and (iii)
being herein referred to as the “Expiration Date”).

(b)        The Purchase Price for each Common Share of the
Company pursuant to the exercise of a Right shall initially be $150 and shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Sections 11 and 13(a)
hereof and shall be payable in accordance with paragraph (c) below.

 11
 

(c)         Upon receipt of a Rights Certificate representing
exercisable Rights, with the form of election to purchase and the certificate
on the reverse side of the Rights Certificate duly executed, accompanied by
payment, with respect to each Right so exercised, of the Purchase Price, as
such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) hereof, per Common
Share of the Company (or other securities, cash or other assets, as the case,
may be) to be purchased as set forth below and an amount equal to any
applicable transfer tax or other governmental charge, the Rights Agent shall,
subject to Sections 7(f) and 20(k) hereof, thereupon promptly (i) requisition
from any transfer agent of the Common Shares of the Company (or make available,
if the Rights Agent is the transfer agent for such shares) certificates for the
total number of Common Shares of the Company to be purchased and the Company
hereby irrevocably authorizes its transfer agent to comply with all such
requests, (ii) requisition from the Company the amount of cash, if any, to be
paid in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 14 hereof, (iii)
after receipt of such certificates, cause the same to be delivered to or upon
the order of the registered holder of such Rights Certificate, registered in
such name or names as may be designated by such holder, and (iv) after receipt
thereof, deliver such cash, if any, to or upon the order of the registered
holder of such Rights Certificate.  The
payment of the Purchase Price (as such amount may be reduced pursuant to
Section 11(a)(iii) hereof) shall be made in cash or by certified check, cashier’s
check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company.  In the event that the Company is obligated to
issue other securities of the Company, pay cash and/or distribute other
property pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the Company will make all
arrangements necessary so that such other securities, cash and/or other
property are available for distribution by the Rights Agent, if and when
appropriate.  The Company reserves the
right to require prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event that, upon any
exercise of Rights, a number of Rights be exercised so that only whole Common
Shares of the Company would be issued.

(d)        In case the registered holder of any Rights
Certificate shall exercise less than all the Rights evidenced thereby, a new
Rights Certificate evidencing Rights remaining unexercised shall be issued by
the Rights Agent and delivered to, or upon the order of, the registered holder
of such Rights Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be
designated by such holder, subject to the provisions of Section 14 hereof.

(e)         Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, from and after the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, any
Rights beneficially owned by (i) an Acquiring Person or an Associate or
Affiliate of an Acquiring Person, (ii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or
of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee after such
Acquiring Person becomes such or (iii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or
of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee prior to or
concurrently with the Acquiring Person becoming such and receives such Rights
pursuant to either (A) a transfer (whether or not for consideration) from the
Acquiring Person to holders of equity interests in such Acquiring Person or to
any Person with whom the Acquiring Person has any continuing agreement,
arrangement or understanding regarding the transferred Rights or (B) a transfer
which has been determined by the Continuing Trustees, within the maximum period
allowed under Maryland law for limiting the power of a future director to vote
in this regard following a Section 23(a)

 12
 

Event,
or if such determination is not made until after such period expires, by a
majority of the Board, to be part of a plan, arrangement or understanding which
has as a primary purpose or effect the avoidance of this Section 7(e), shall
become null and void without any further action and no holder of such Rights
shall have any rights whatsoever with respect to such Rights, whether under any
provision of this Agreement or otherwise. 
The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the
provisions of this Section 7(e) and Section 4(b) hereof are complied with, but
the Company and the Rights Agent shall have no liability to any holder of
Rights Certificates or other Person as a result of the Company’s failure to
make any determinations with respect to an Acquiring Person or any of their
Affiliates, Associates or transferees hereunder.

(f)         Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to
undertake any action with respect to a registered holder of any Rights upon the
occurrence of any purported exercise as set forth in this Section 7 unless such
registered holder shall have (i) completed and signed the certificate contained
in the form of election to purchase set forth on the reverse side of the Rights
Certificate surrendered for such assignment or exercise and (ii) provided such
additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former
Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates thereof as the Company shall
reasonably request.

Section 8.       Cancellation
and Destruction of Rights Certificates. All Rights Certificates surrendered
for the purpose of exercise, transfer, split up, combination or exchange shall,
if surrendered to the Company or any of its agents, be delivered to the Rights
Agent for cancellation or in cancelled form or if surrendered to the Rights
Agent, shall be cancelled by it, and no Rights Certificates shall be issued in
lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this
Agreement.  The Company shall deliver to
the Rights Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Rights Agent shall so
cancel and retire, any other Rights Certificate purchased or acquired by the
Company otherwise than upon the exercise thereof.  Subject to applicable law and regulation, the
Rights Agent shall maintain in a retrievable database electronic records of all
cancelled or destroyed Rights Certificates which have been canceled or
destroyed by the Rights Agent.  The
Rights Agent shall maintain such electronic records or physical records for the
time period required by applicable law and regulation.  Upon written request of the Company (and at
the expense of the Company), the Rights Agent shall provide to the Company or
its designee copies of such electronic records or physical records relating to
Rights Certificates cancelled or destroyed by the Rights Agent.

Section 9.       Reservation
and Availability of Capital Stock.

(a)         The Company covenants and agrees that, from and after
the Distribution Date, it will cause to be reserved and kept available out of
its authorized and unissued Common Shares (and, following the occurrence of a
Triggering Event, other securities) or out of its authorized and issued shares
held in its treasury, the number of Common Shares of the Company (and,
following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the amount of other securities)
that, as provided in this Agreement (including Section 11(a)(iii) hereof), will
be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights.

 13
 

(b)        So long as the Common Shares of the Company (and,
following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, other securities) issuable and
deliverable upon the exercise of the Rights may be listed on any national
securities exchange, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause,
from and after such time as the Rights become exercisable, all shares reserved
for such issuance to be listed on such exchange upon official notice of
issuance upon such exercise.

(c)         The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to (i)
file, as soon as practicable following the earliest date after the first
occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event in which the consideration to be delivered
by the Company upon exercise of the Rights has been determined in accordance
with this Agreement, a registration statement under the Act on an appropriate
form with respect to the Common Shares of the Company or other securities
purchasable upon exercise of the Rights, (ii) cause such registration statement
to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and (iii) cause
such registration statement to remain effective (with a prospectus at all times
meeting the requirements of the Act) until the earlier of (A) the date as of
which the Rights are no longer exercisable for such securities or (B) the
Expiration Date.  The Company will also
take such action as may be appropriate under, or to ensure compliance with, the
securities or “blue sky” laws of the various states in connection with the
exercisability of the Rights.  The
Company may, acting by resolution of its Board (which resolution shall be
effective only with the concurrence of a majority of the Continuing Trustees),
temporarily suspend, for a period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days after
the date set forth in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 9(c),
the exercisability of the Rights in order to prepare and file such registration
statement and permit it to become effective. 
In the event of any such suspension, the Company shall issue a public
announcement stating that the exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily
suspended, as well as a public announcement at such time as the suspension is
no longer in effect.  In addition, if the
Company shall determine that a registration statement is required in other
circumstances following the Distribution Date, the Company may similarly
temporarily suspend the exercisability of the Rights until such time as a
registration statement has been declared effective.  Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Rights shall not be exercisable in any
jurisdiction if the requisite qualification in such jurisdiction shall not have
been obtained, the exercise thereof shall not otherwise be permitted under
applicable law or a registration statement shall not have been declared
effective.

(d)        The Company covenants and agrees that it will take all
such action as may be necessary to ensure that all Common Shares of the Company
(and, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, other securities)
delivered upon exercise of Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the
certificates for such shares (subject to payment of the Purchase Price), be
duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(e)         The Company further covenants and agrees that, except
as set forth in Section 6(a) hereof, it will pay when due and payable any and
all federal and state transfer taxes and similar governmental charges which may
be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Rights Certificates
and of any certificates for Common

 14
 

Shares
of the Company (or other securities, as the case may be) upon the exercise of
Rights.  The Company shall not, however,
be required to pay any transfer tax or other governmental charge which may be
payable in respect of any transfer or delivery of Rights Certificates to a
Person other than, or the issuance or delivery of a number of Common Shares of
the Company (or other securities, as the case may be) in respect of a name
other than that of, the registered holder of the Rights Certificates evidencing
Rights surrendered for exercise, nor shall the Company be required to issue or
deliver any certificates for a number of Common Shares of the Company (or other
securities, as the case may be) in a name other than that of the registered
holder upon the exercise of any Rights until such tax or charge shall have been
paid (any such tax or charge being payable by the holder of such Rights
Certificate at the time of surrender) or until it has been established to the
Company’s satisfaction that no such tax or charge is due.

Section 10.       Record
Date for Securities Issued Upon Exercise. Each Person in whose name any
certificate for a number of Common Shares of the Company (or other securities,
as the case may be) is issued upon the exercise of Rights shall for all
purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Common Shares of
the Company (or other securities, as the case may be) represented thereby on,
and such certificate shall be dated, the date upon which the Rights Certificate
evidencing such Rights was duly surrendered and payment of the Purchase Price
(and all applicable transfer taxes and other governmental charges) was made; provided,
however, that if the date of such surrender and payment is a date upon
which the Common Shares of the Company (or other securities, as the case may
be) transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to
have become the record holder of such shares (fractional or otherwise) on, and
such certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding Business Day on which the
transfer books for the Common Shares of the Company (or other securities, as
the case may be) are open.  Prior to the
exercise of the Rights evidenced thereby, the holder of a Rights Certificate
shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Company with
respect to shares for which the Rights shall be exercisable, including without
limitation the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions or to
exercise any preemptive rights, and shall not be entitled to receive any notice
of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided herein.

Section 11.      Adjustment
of Purchase Price, Number and Kind of Shares or Number of Rights. The
Purchase Price, the number and kind of shares, or fractions thereof,
purchasable upon the exercise of each Right and the number of Rights
outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
Section 11.

(a)         (i) In the event the Company shall at any time after
the date of this Agreement (A) declare a dividend on the outstanding Common
Shares of the Company payable in Common Shares of the Company, (B) subdivide or
split the outstanding Common Shares of the Company, (C) combine or consolidate
the outstanding Common Shares of the Company into a smaller number of shares or
(D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common
Shares of the Company (including any such reclassification in connection with a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving
corporation), except as otherwise provided in this Section 11(a) and Section
7(e) hereof, the Purchase Price in

 15
 

effect
at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of
such subdivision, split, combination, consolidation or reclassification, and
the number and kind of Common Shares of the Company (or capital stock, as the
case may be) issuable on such date, shall be proportionately adjusted so that
the holder of any Right exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive,
upon payment of the Purchase Price then in effect, the aggregate number and
kind of Common Shares of the Company (or other securities, as the case may be)
which, if such Right had been exercised immediately prior to such date and at a
time when the transfer books for the Common Shares of the Company (or capital
stock, as the case may be) were open, such owner would have owned upon such
exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision,
split, combination, consolidation or reclassification.  If an event occurs which would require an
adjustment under both this Section 11(a)(i) and Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, the
adjustment provided for in this Section 11(a)(i) shall be in addition to, and
shall be made prior to, any adjustment required pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii)
hereof.

(ii) In the event
(a “Section 11(a)(ii) Event”) any Person 
shall, at any time after the Rights Dividend Declaration Date, become an
Acquiring Person, unless the event causing such Person to become an Acquiring
Person is (x) a Section 13 Event or (y) an acquisition of Common Shares of the
Company pursuant to a tender offer or an exchange offer for all outstanding
Common Shares of the Company at a price and on terms determined by at least a
majority of the Outside Trustees, after receiving advice from one or more
investment banking firms, to be (a) at a price which is fair to shareholders
and not inadequate (taking into account all factors which such Outside Trustees
deem relevant including, without limitation, prices which could reasonably be
achieved if the Company or its assets were sold on an orderly basis designed to
realize maximum value) and (b) otherwise in the best interests of the Company
and its shareholders (a “Qualified Offer”), then promptly after the date of
occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, proper provision shall be made so that
each holder of a Right (except as provided below and in Section 7(e) hereof)
shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise thereof at the then
current Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such
number of Common Shares of the Company as shall equal the result obtained by
(x) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the then number of Common
Shares of the Company for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to
the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, whether or not such Right
was then exercisable, and (y) dividing that product (which, following such
first occurrence, shall thereafter be referred to as the “Purchase Price” for
each Right and for all purposes of this Agreement) by 50% of the Current Market
Price per Common Share of the Company on the date of such first occurrence
(such number of shares being referred to as the “Adjustment Shares”).

(iii) In the event
that the number of Common Shares of the Company which are authorized by the
Company’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as amended (as the same may
be amended and restated from time to time), but not outstanding or reserved for
issuance for purposes other than upon exercise of the Rights, is not sufficient
to permit the exercise in full of the Rights in accordance with the foregoing
subparagraph (ii) of this Section 11(a), the Company, acting by resolution of
the Board (which resolution shall be effective only with the concurrence of a
majority of

 16
 

the Continuing  Trustees), shall (A) determine the value of
the Adjustment Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Right (the “Current Value”)
and the amount by which it exceeds the Purchase Price attributable to each
Right (such excess being referred to as the “Spread”), and (B) with respect to
each Right (subject to Section 7(e) hereof), make adequate provision to
substitute for the Adjustment Shares, upon the exercise of the Right and
payment of the applicable Purchase Price, (1) cash, (2) a reduction in the
Purchase Price (but in no event shall the Purchase Price be less than the par
value per share), (3) equity securities of the Company other than Common Shares
of the Company (including preferred shares or units of preferred shares which
the Board has deemed to have essentially the same value or economic rights as
Common Shares of the Company (such equity securities being referred to as “Common
Shares Equivalents”)), (4) debt securities of the Company, (5) other assets or
(6) any combination of the foregoing which, when added to any Common Shares of
the Company issued upon such exercise, have an aggregate value equal to the
Current Value (less the amount of any reduction in the Purchase Price), where
such aggregate value has been determined by the Board (with the concurrence of
a majority of the Continuing Trustees) based upon the advice of a nationally recognized
investment banking firm selected by the Board; provided, however,
that if the Company shall not have made adequate provision to deliver value
pursuant to clause (B) above within thirty (30) days following the later of (x)
the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event and (y) the date on which the
Company’s right of redemption pursuant to Section 23(a) hereof, as such date
may be amended pursuant to Section 26 hereof, expires (the later of (x) and (y)
being referred to herein as the “Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date”), then the
Company shall be obligated to deliver, upon the surrender for exercise of a
Right and without requiring payment of the Purchase Price, Common Shares of the
Company (to the extent available) and then, if necessary, cash, which shares
and/or cash have an aggregate value equal to the Spread.  If the Board (with the concurrence of a
majority of the Continuing Trustees) shall determine in good faith that it is
likely that sufficient additional Common Shares of the Company could be
authorized for issuance upon exercise in full of the Rights, the thirty (30)
day period set forth above may be extended to the extent necessary, but not
more than ninety (90) days after the Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date, in order
that the Company may seek shareholder approval, if required, for the
authorization of such additional shares (such period, as it may be extended
being referred to herein as the “Substitution Period”).  To the extent that the Company determines
that action should be taken pursuant to the first and/or second sentences of
this Section 11(a)(iii), the Company (x) shall provide, subject to Section 7(e)
hereof, that such action shall apply uniformly to all outstanding Rights and
(y) may suspend the exercisability of the Rights until the expiration of the
Substitution Period in order to seek any authorization of additional shares
and/or to decide the appropriate form of distribution to be made pursuant to
such first sentence and to determine the value thereof.  In the event of any such suspension, the
Company shall issue a public announcement stating that the exercisability of
the Rights has been temporarily suspended, as well as a public announcement at
such time as the suspension is no longer in effect.  For purposes of this Section 11(a)(iii), the
value of each Adjustment Share shall be the Current Market Price per Common
Share of the Company on the Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date and the value of any
Common Shares Equivalents shall be deemed to equal the value of the Common
Shares of the Company on such date.

 17
 

(b)        In case the Company shall fix a record date for the
issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares of the
Company entitling them to subscribe for or purchase (for a period expiring
within forty-five (45) calendar days after such record date) Common Shares of
the Company or securities convertible into Common Shares of the Company or
Common Shares Equivalents at a price per Common Share or per Common Shares
Equivalent (or having a conversion price per share, if a security convertible
into Common Shares or Common Shares Equivalents) less than the Current Market
Price per Common Share of the Company on such record date, the Purchase Price
to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares of the Company
outstanding on such record date, plus the number of Common Shares of the
Company which the aggregate subscription or offering price of the total number
of Common Shares of the Company and/or Common Shares Equivalents so to be
offered (and/or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible
securities so to be offered) would purchase at such Current Market Price, and
the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares of the Company
outstanding on such record date, plus the number of additional Common Shares of
the Company and/or Common Shares Equivalents to be offered for subscription or
purchase (or into which the convertible securities so to be offered are
initially convertible).  In case such
subscription price may be paid by delivery of consideration part or all of
which may be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall
be as determined in good faith by the Board (with the concurrence of a majority
of the Continuing Trustees), whose determination shall be described in a
statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes.  Common Shares of the Company owned by or held
for the account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose
of any such computation.  Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, and in the
event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Purchase
Price shall be adjusted to be the Purchase Price which would then be in effect
if such record date had not been fixed.

(c)         In case the Company shall
fix a record date for a distribution to all holders of Common Shares of the
Company (including any such distribution made in connection with a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving
corporation) of evidences of indebtedness, cash (other than a regular periodic
cash dividend out of the earnings or retained earnings of the Company), assets
(other than a dividend payable in Common Shares of the Company, but including
any dividend payable in shares other than Common Shares of the Company) or
subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in Section 11(b)
hereof), the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be
determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to
such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current
Market Price per Common Share of the Company on such record date, less the fair
market value (as determined in good faith by the Board (with the concurrence of
a majority of the Continuing Trustees), whose determination shall be described in
a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all
purposes) of the portion of the cash, assets or evidences of indebtedness so to
be distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to Common
Shares of the Company and the

 18

denominator
of which shall be such Current Market Price per Common Share of the
Company.  Such adjustments shall be made
successively whenever such a record date is fixed, and in the event that such
distribution is not so made, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the
Purchase Price which would have been in effect if such record date had not been
fixed.

(d)       For the
purpose of any computation hereunder, other than computations made pursuant to
Section 11(a)(iii) hereof, the Current Market Price per Common Share on any
date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices per Common
Share for the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to such
date, and for purposes of computations made pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii)
hereof, the Current Market Price per Common Share on any date shall be deemed
to be the average of the daily closing prices per such Common Share for the ten
(10) consecutive Trading Days immediately following such date; provided,
however, that in the event that the Current Market Price per Common
Share is determined during a period following the announcement by the issuer of
such Common Share of (A) a dividend or distribution on such Common Share
payable in Common Shares or securities convertible into shares of such Common
Shares (other than the Rights) or (B) any subdivision, combination,
consolidation, reverse stock split or reclassification of Common Shares, and
the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for
such subdivision, combination, consolidation, reverse stock split or
reclassification shall not have occurred prior to the commencement of the
requisite thirty (30) Trading Days or ten (10) Trading Day period, as set forth
above, then, and in each such case, the Current Market Price shall be properly
adjusted to take into account ex-dividend trading.  The closing price for each day shall be the
last sale price, regular way, or in case no such sale takes place on such day,
the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as
reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with
respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock
Exchange, or if the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on the
New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction
reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national
securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed or admitted to
trading, or if the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any
national securities exchange, the average of the high bid and low asked prices
or, if not so quoted, the last sale price in the over-the-counter market, as
reported by the OTC Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. or the Pink Sheets LLC or such other system then in
use.  If the Common Shares are not
publicly held or not so listed, traded, quoted or reported, Current Market
Price per Common Share shall mean the fair value per share as determined in
good faith by the Board (with the concurrence of a majority of the Continuing
Trustees), whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the
Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes.  The term “Trading Day” shall mean a day on
which the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are
listed or admitted to trading is open for the transaction of business, or if
the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities
exchange, a Business Day.

(e)       Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Purchase Price
shall be required unless such adjustment, along with any

 19
 

adjustment
previously carried forward, would require an increase or decrease of at least
one percent (1%) in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that
any adjustments which by reason of this Section 11(e) are not required to be
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment.  All calculations under this
Section 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest ten-thousandth
of a Common Share or other share, as the case may be.  Notwithstanding the first sentence of this
Section 11(e), any adjustment required by this Section 11 shall be made no
later than the earlier of (i) three (3) years from the date of the transaction
which mandates such adjustment or (ii) the Expiration Date.

(f)        If as a
result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) or Section 13(a)
hereof, the holder of any Right thereafter exercised shall become entitled to
receive any shares of capital stock other than Common Shares of the Company,
thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any
Right and the Purchase Price thereof (or the number of rights) shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent
as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Shares contained in
Sections 11(a), (b), (c), (e), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k) and (m), and the
provisions of Sections 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14 hereof with respect to the Common
Shares of the Company shall apply on like terms to any such other shares; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be liable for its inability to
reserve and keep available for issuance upon exercise of the Rights pursuant to
Section 11(a)(ii) a number of Common Shares of the Company greater than the
number then authorized by the Company’s Amended and Restated Declaration of
Trust, as amended (as the same may be amended and restated from time to time),
but not outstanding or reserved for any other purpose.

(g)       All Rights
originally issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to the
Purchase Price hereunder shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted
Purchase Price, the number of Common Shares of the Company purchasable from
time to time hereunder upon exercise of the Rights, all subject to further
adjustment as provided herein.

(h)       Unless the
Company shall have exercised its election as provided in Section 11(i), upon
each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of the calculations made in
Sections 11(b) and (c), each Right outstanding immediately prior to the making
of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted
Purchase Price, that number of Common Shares of the Company (calculated to the
nearest ten-thousandth Common Share of the Company) obtained by (i) multiplying
(x) the number of Common Shares of the Company covered by a Right immediately
prior to this adjustment, by (y) the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment of the Purchase Price, and (ii) dividing the product so
obtained by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of
the Purchase Price.

(i)        The Company
may elect on or after the date of any adjustment of the Purchase Price to
adjust the number of Rights, in lieu of any adjustment in the number of Common
Shares of the Company purchasable upon the exercise of a Right.  Each of the Rights outstanding after the
adjustment in the number of Rights shall

 20
 

be
exercisable for the number of Common Shares of the Company for which a Right
was exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment.  Each Right held of record prior to such
adjustment of the number of Rights shall become that number of Rights
(calculated to the nearest one-ten thousandth) obtained by dividing the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to adjustment of the Purchase Price
by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after adjustment of the Purchase
Price.  The Company shall make a public
announcement of its election to adjust the number of Rights, indicating the
record date for the adjustment, and, if known at the time, the amount of the
adjustment to be made.  This record date
may be the date on which the Purchase Price is adjusted or any day thereafter,
but, if the Rights Certificates have been issued, shall be at least ten (10)
days later than the date of the public announcement.  If Rights Certificates have been issued, upon
each adjustment of the number of Rights pursuant to this Section 11(i), the
Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be distributed to holders
of record of Rights Certificates on such record date Rights Certificates
evidencing, subject to Section 14 hereof, the additional Rights to which such
holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or at the option of
the Company, shall cause to be distributed to such holders of record in
substitution and replacement for the Rights Certificates held by such holders
prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the
Company, new Rights Certificates evidencing all the Rights to which such
holders shall be entitled after such adjustment.  Rights Certificates so to be distributed
shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the manner provided for herein
(and may bear, at the option of the Company, the adjusted Purchase Price) and
shall be registered in the names of the holders of record of Rights
Certificates on the record date specified in the public announcement.

(j)        Irrespective
of any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price or the number of Common
Shares of the Company issuable upon the exercise of the Rights, the Rights
Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the
Purchase Price per Common Share of the Company and the number of Common Shares
of the Company which were expressed in the initial Rights Certificates issued
hereunder.

(k)       Before taking
any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Purchase Price below the
par value, if any, of the number of Common Shares of the Company issuable upon
exercise of the Rights, the Company shall use its best efforts to take any
corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
such number of Common Shares of the Company at such adjusted Purchase Price.

(l)        In any case
in which this Section 11 shall require that an adjustment in the Purchase Price
be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may
elect to defer until the occurrence of such event the issuance to the holder of
any Right exercised after such record date the number of Common Shares of the
Company and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable
upon such exercise over and above the number of Common Shares of the Company
and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon
such exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such
adjustment; provided, however, that

 21
 

the
Company shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument
evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares (fractional or
otherwise) or securities upon the occurrence of the event requiring such
adjustment.

(m)      Anything in
this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled
to make such adjustments in the Purchase Price, in addition to those
adjustments expressly required by this Section 11, as and to the extent that in
its good faith judgment the Board shall determine to be advisable in order that
any (i) consolidation or subdivision of the Common Shares of the Company, (ii)
issuance wholly for cash of any Common Shares of the Company at less than the
Current Market Price, (iii) issuance wholly for cash of Common Shares of the
Company or securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Shares of the Company, (iv) stock dividends or (v) issuance of
rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 11, hereafter made by
the Company to holders of its Common Shares of the Company shall not be taxable
to such shareholders.

(n)       The Company
covenants and agrees that it shall not, at any time after the Distribution
Date, (i) consolidate with any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the
Company in a transaction which complies with Section 11(o) hereof), (ii) merge
with or into any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a
transaction which complies with Section 11(o) hereof) or (iii) sell or transfer
(or permit any Subsidiary to sell or transfer), in one transaction, or a series
of related transactions, assets, cash flow or earning power aggregating more
than 50% of the assets, cash flow or earning power of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any other Person or Persons (other than the
Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries in one or more transactions each of
which complies with Section 11(o) hereof), if (x) at the time of or immediately
after such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer there are any rights,
warrants or other instruments or securities outstanding or agreements in effect
which would substantially diminish or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended
to be afforded by the Rights or (y) prior to, simultaneously with or
immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, the
stockholders of the Person who constitutes, or would constitute, the “Principal
Party” for purposes of Section 13(a) hereof shall have received a distribution
of Rights previously owned by such Person or any of its Affiliates and
Associates.

(o)       The Company
covenants and agrees that, after the Distribution Date, it will not, except as
permitted by Section 23, Section 26, Section 29 or Section 31 hereof, take (or
permit any Subsidiary to take) any action if at the time such action is taken
it is reasonably foreseeable that such action will diminish substantially or
otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights.

Section
12.       Certificate of Adjusted
Purchase Price or Number of Shares. Whenever an adjustment is made as
provided in Section 11 and Section 13 hereof, the Company shall (a) promptly
prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of
the facts accounting for such adjustment, (b) promptly file with the Rights
Agent, and with each transfer agent for the Common Shares of the Company, a
copy of such certificate and (c) if a Distribution Date has occurred, mail a
brief summary thereof

 22
 

to each registered
holder of a Rights Certificate in accordance with Section 25 hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the
failure of the Company to prepare such certificate or statement or make such
filings or mailings shall not affect the validity of, or the force or effect
of, the requirement for such adjustment. 
The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any such
certificate and on any adjustment therein contained.

Section 13.       Consolidation,
Merger or Sale or Transfer of Assets, Cash Flow or Earning Power.

(a)       In the event
(a “Section 13 Event”) that, following the Stock Acquisition Date, directly or
indirectly, (x) the Company shall consolidate or otherwise combine with, or
merge with or into, any other Person or Persons (other than a Subsidiary of the
Company in a transaction which complies with Section 11(o) hereof), and the
Company shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such
consolidation, combination or merger, (y) any Person or Persons (other than a
Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction which complies with Section 11(o)
hereof) shall consolidate or combine with, or merge with or into, the Company,
and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving corporation of such
consolidation, combination or merger and, in connection with such
consolidation, combination or merger, all or part of the outstanding Common
Shares of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for stock or other
securities of any other Person or Persons or cash or any other property or (z)
the Company shall sell or otherwise transfer (or one or more of its
Subsidiaries shall sell or otherwise transfer), in one transaction or a series
of related transactions, assets, cash flow or earning power aggregating more than
50% of the assets, cash flow or earning power of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any Person or Persons (other than the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in one or more transactions each of
which complies with Section 11(o) hereof) (provided that this clause (z) of
Section 13(a) shall not apply to the pro rata distribution by the Company of
assets (including securities) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to all
holders of the Company’s Common Shares), then, and in each such case (except as
may be contemplated by Section 13(d) hereof), proper provision shall be made so
that each holder of a Right, except as provided in Section 7(e) hereof, shall
thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current
Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such number of
validly authorized and issued, fully paid, nonassessable and freely tradable
Common Shares of the Principal Party (as such term is hereinafter defined), not
subject to any liens, encumbrances, rights of first refusal or other adverse
claims, as shall be equal to the result obtained by (1) multiplying the then
current Purchase Price by the number of Common Shares of the Company for which
a Right is exercisable immediately prior to the first occurrence of a Section
13 Event (or, if a Section 11(a)(ii) Event has occurred prior to the first
occurrence of a Section 13 Event, multiplying the number of such Common Shares
of the Company for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to the first
occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event by the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such first occurrence of a Section 11(a(ii) Event), and
(2) dividing that product (which, following the first occurrence of a Section
13 Event, shall be referred to as the “Purchase Price” for each Right and for
all purposes of this Agreement) by 50% of the Current Market Price per Common
Share of such Principal Party on the date of consummation of such Section 13
Event; (ii) such Principal Party shall thereafter

 23
 

be
liable for, and shall assume, by virtue of such Section 13 Event, all the
obligations and duties of the Company pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) the
term “Company” shall thereafter be deemed to refer to such Principal Party, it
being specifically intended that the provisions of Section 11 hereof shall
apply only to such Principal Party following the first occurrence of a Section
13 Event; (iv) such Principal Party shall take such steps (including, but not
limited to, the reservation of a sufficient number of its Common Shares) in
connection with the consummation of any such transaction as may be necessary to
assure that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as
reasonably may be, in relation to its Common Shares thereafter deliverable upon
the exercise of the Rights; and (v) the provisions of Section 11(a)(ii) hereof
shall be of no effect following the first occurrence of any Section 13 Event.

(b)       “Principal
Party” shall mean (i) in the case of any transaction described in clause (x) or
(y) of the first sentence of Section 13(a) hereof, (A) the Person that is the
issuer of any securities into which Common Shares of the Company are converted,
changed or exchanged in such merger, consolidation or combination, or if there
is more than one such issuer, the issuer the Common Shares of which has the
greatest aggregate market value or (B) if no securities are so issued, the
Person that is the other party to such merger (and survives the merger),
consolidation or combination (or if there is more than one such Person, the
Person the Common Shares of which has the greatest aggregate market value), or
if the other party to the merger does not survive the merger, the Person that
does survive the merger (including the Company if it survives); and (ii) in the
case of any transaction described in clause (z) of the first sentence of
Section 13(a), the Person that is the party receiving the greatest portion of
the assets, cash flow or earning power transferred pursuant to such transaction
or transactions or, if each Person that is a party to such transaction or
transactions receives the same portion of the assets, cash flow or earning
power so transferred or if the Person receiving the greater portion of the
assets, cash flow or earning power cannot be determined, whichever of such
Persons as is the issuer of the Common Shares having the greatest aggregate
market value; provided, however, that in any such case, (1) if
the Common Shares of such Person are not at such time and have not been
continuously over the preceding 12-month period registered under Section 12 of
the Exchange Act and such Person is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of another
person the Common Shares of which is and has been so registered, “Principal
Party” shall refer to such other Person; (2) if the Common Shares of such
Person are not and have not been so registered and such Person is a Subsidiary,
directly or indirectly, of more than one Person, the Common Shares of two or
more of which are and have been so registered, “Principal Party” shall refer to
whichever of such Persons is the issuer of the Common Shares having the
greatest aggregate market value; and (3) if the Common Shares of such Person
are not and have not been so registered and such Person is owned, directly or
indirectly, by a joint venture formed by two or more Persons that are not
owned, directly or indirectly, by the same Person, the rules set forth in (1)
and (2) above shall apply to each of the chains of ownership having an interest
in such joint venture as if such party were a Subsidiary of both or all of such
joint venturers and the Principal Parties in each such chain shall bear the
obligations set forth in this Section 13 in the same ratio as their direct or
indirect interests in such Person bear to the total of such interests.

 24
 

(c)       The Company
shall not consummate any Section 13 Event unless the Principal Party shall have
a sufficient number of authorized Common Shares which have not been issued or
reserved for issuance to permit the exercise in full of the Rights in
accordance with this Section 13 and unless prior thereto the Company and such
Principal Party shall have executed and delivered to the Rights Agent a
supplemental agreement confirming that the requirements of Sections 13(a) and
(b) hereof shall promptly be performed in accordance with their terms and that
such Section 13 Event shall not result in a default by the Principal Party
under this Agreement as the same shall have been assumed by the Principal Party
pursuant to Sections 13(a) and (b) hereof and further providing that, as soon
as practicable after the date of such Section 13 Event, the Principal Party
will

(i)    prepare
and file a registration statement under the Act with respect to the Rights and
the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on an appropriate form
and will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to (A)
become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and (B) remain
effective (with a prospectus at all times meeting the requirements of the Act)
until the Expiration Date;

(ii)    take
all such other action as may be necessary to enable the Principal Party to
issue the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights, including but not
limited to the registration or qualification of such securities under all
requisite securities laws or jurisdictions of the various states and the
listing of such securities on such exchanges and trading markets as may be
necessary or appropriate;

(iii)    deliver
to holders of the Rights historical financial statements for the Principal
Party and each of its Affiliates which comply in all respects with the
requirements for registration on Form 10 (or any successor form) under the
Exchange Act; and

(iv)    use
its best efforts to obtain waivers of any rights of first refusal or preemptive
rights in respect of the Common Shares of the Principal Party subject to
purchase upon exercise of outstanding Rights.

The provisions of this Section 13
shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations or sales or other
transfers.  In the event that a Section
13 Event shall occur at any time after the occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii)
Event, the Rights which have not theretofore been exercised shall thereafter
become exercisable in the manner described in Section 13(a).

(d)       Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Section 13 shall not be applicable
to a transaction described in subparagraph (x) or (y) of Section 13(a) if (i)
such transaction is consummated with a Person or Persons (or a wholly owned
subsidiary of any such Person or Persons) who acquired Common Shares of the
Company pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer for all outstanding Common

 25
 

Shares
of the Company which is a Qualified Offer as such term is defined in Section 11(a)(ii)
hereof, (ii) the price per Common Shares of the Company offered in such
transaction is not less than the price per Common Share paid to all holders of
Common Shares of the Company whose shares were purchased pursuant to such
tender offer or exchange offer and (iii) the form of consideration being
offered to the remaining holders of Common Shares pursuant to such transaction
is the same as the form of consideration paid pursuant to such tender offer or
exchange offer.  Upon consummation of any
such transaction contemplated by this Section 13(d), all Rights hereunder shall
expire.

Section 14.       Fractional
Rights and Fractional Shares.

(a)       The Company
shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights, except prior to the
Distribution Date as provided in Section 11(i) hereof, or to distribute Rights
Certificates which evidence fractional Rights. 
In lieu of such fractional Rights, there shall be paid to the registered
holders of the Rights Certificates with regard to which such fractional Rights
would otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of
the current market value of a whole Right. 
For purposes of this Section 14(a), the current market value of a whole
Right shall be the closing price of the Rights for the Trading Day immediately
prior to the date on which such fractional Rights would have been otherwise
issuable.  The closing price of the
Rights for any day shall be the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no
such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices, regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated
transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to
trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Rights are not listed or admitted
to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the principal
consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on
the principal national securities exchange on which the Rights are listed or
admitted to trading, or if the Rights are not listed or admitted to trading on
any national securities exchange, the average of the high bid and low asked
prices or, if not so quoted, the last sale price in the over-the-counter
market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board operated by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or the Pink Sheets LLC or such other
system then in use.  If on any such date,
the closing price for the Rights cannot be determined in accordance with the preceding
sentence, the fair value of the Rights on such date as determined in good faith
by the Board (with the concurrence of a majority of the Continuing Trustees)
shall be used.

(b)       The Company
shall not be required to issue fractions of Common Shares of the Company upon
exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional
Common Shares of the Company.  In lieu of
fractional Common Shares of the Company, the Company may pay to the registered
holders of Rights Certificates at the time such Rights are exercised as herein
provided an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market
value of a Common Share of the Company. 
For purposes of this Section 14(b), the current market value of a Common
Share of the Company shall be the closing price of a Common Share of the
Company or, if unavailable, the appropriate alternative price (in each case as
determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) for the Trading Day immediately
prior to the date of such exercise.

 26
 

(c)       The holder of
a Right by the acceptance of the Rights expressly waives his right to receive
any fractional Rights or any fractional shares upon exercise of a Right, except
as permitted by this Section 14.

Section 15.       Rights
of Action. All rights of action in respect of this Agreement, except the rights
of action vested in the Rights Agent pursuant to Section 18 hereof, are vested
in the respective registered holders of the Rights Certificates (and, prior to
the Distribution Date, the registered holders of the Common Shares of the
Company); and any registered holder of any Rights Certificate (or, prior to the
Distribution Date, of the Common Shares of the Company), without the consent of
the Rights Agent or of the holder of any other Rights Certificate (or, prior to
the Distribution Date, of the Common Shares of the Company), may, in his own
behalf and for his own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any
suit, action or proceeding against the Company to enforce, or otherwise act in
respect of, his right to exercise the Rights evidenced by such Rights
Certificate in the manner provided in such Rights Certificate and in this
Agreement.  Without limiting the
foregoing or any remedies available to the holders of Rights, it is
specifically acknowledged that the holders of Rights would not have an adequate
remedy at law for any breach of this Agreement and shall be entitled to
specific performance of the obligations hereunder and injunctive relief against
actual or threatened violations of the obligations hereunder of any Person
subject to this Agreement.

Section 16.       Agreement
of Rights Holders. Every holder of a Right by accepting the same consents
and agrees with the Company and the Rights Agent and with every other holder of
a Right that:

(a)       prior to the
Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferable only in connection with the
transfer of Common Shares of the Company;

(b)       after the
Distribution Date, the Rights Certificates are transferable only on the
registry books of the Rights Agent if surrendered at the principal office or
offices of the Rights Agent designated for such purposes, duly endorsed or
accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer and with the appropriate forms
and certificates fully executed;

(c)       subject to
Section 6(a) and Section 7(f) hereof, the Company and the Rights Agent may deem
and treat the person in whose name a Rights Certificate (or, prior to the
Distribution Date, the associated Common Shares certificate) is registered as
the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding
any notations of ownership or writing on the Rights Certificates or the
associated Common Shares certificate made by anyone other than the Company or
the Rights Agent) for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company nor the
Rights Agent, subject to the last sentence of Section 7(e) hereof, shall be
required to be affected by any notice to the contrary; and

(d)       notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Rights
Agent shall have any liability to any holder of a

 27
 

Right or
other Person as a result of its inability to perform any of its obligations
under this Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or
other order, decree or ruling issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by
a governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission, or any
statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted by any
governmental authority, prohibiting or otherwise restraining performance of
such obligation; provided, however, the Company must use its best
efforts to have any such order, decree or ruling lifted or otherwise overturned
as soon as possible.

Section 17.       Rights
Certificate Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder. No holder, as such, of any
Rights Certificate shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed
for any purpose the holder of the number of Common Shares of the Company or any
other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the
exercise of the Rights represented thereby, nor shall anything contained herein
or in any Rights Certificate be construed to confer upon the holder of any
Rights Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company
or any right to vote for the election of trustees or upon any matter submitted
to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any
trust action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting
shareholders (except as provided in Section 24 hereof), or to receive dividends
or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Right or Rights evidenced by
such Rights Certificate shall have been exercised in accordance with the
provisions hereof.

Section 18.       Concerning
the Rights Agent.

(a)       The Company
agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation for all services
rendered by it hereunder and, from time to time, on demand of the Rights Agent,
its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and disbursements and other
disbursements incurred in the administration and execution of this Agreement
and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder.  The Company also agrees to indemnify the
Rights Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, or
expense, incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on
the part of the Rights Agent, for anything done or omitted by the Rights Agent
in connection with the acceptance and administration of this Agreement,
including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability in
the premises.

(b)       The Rights
Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in connection with its administration
of this Agreement in reliance upon any Rights Certificate or certificate for
Common Shares of the Company or for other securities of the Company, instrument
of assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter,
notice, direction, consent, certificate, statement or other paper or document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where
necessary, verified or acknowledged by the proper Person or Persons.

 28
 

Section 19.       Merger
or Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent.

(a)       Any corporation into which the Rights
Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the corporate trust, stock transfer or other
shareholder services business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights
Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
the parties hereto; provided, however, that such corporation would be eligible
for appointment as a successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 21
hereof.  If at the time such successor
Rights Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement, any of the
Rights Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such
successor Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature of a predecessor Rights
Agent and deliver such Rights Certificates so countersigned; and if at that
time any of the Rights Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any
successor Rights Agent may countersign such Rights Certificates either in the
name of the predecessor or in the name of the successor Rights Agent; and in
all such cases, such Rights Certificates shall have the full force provided in
the Rights Certificates and in this Agreement.

(b)       If at any time
the name of the Rights Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the
Rights Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Rights
Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Rights
Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights
Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Rights Agent may
countersign such Rights Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed
name; and in all such cases, such Rights Certificates shall have the full force
provided in the Rights Certificates and in this Agreement.

Section 20.       Duties
of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent undertakes the duties and obligations
imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of
which the Company and the holders of Rights Certificates, by their acceptance
thereof, shall be bound:

(a)       The Rights
Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be legal counsel for the
Company), and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection to the Rights Agent as to any action taken or
omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

(b)       Whenever in the performance of its duties
under this Agreement the Rights Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that
any fact or matter (including, without limitation, the identity of any
Acquiring Person and the determination of the Current Market Price) be proved or
established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder,
such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, the
President, any Vice President, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the
Company and delivered to the

 29

Rights
Agent; and such certificate shall be full authorization to the Rights Agent for
any action taken or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this
Agreement in reliance upon such certificate.

(c)       The Rights
Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct.

(d)       The Rights
Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or
recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Rights Certificates, nor shall
it be required to verify the same (except as to its countersignature on such
Rights Certificates), but all such statements and recitals are and shall be
deemed to have been made by the Company only.

(e)       The Rights
Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this
Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution hereof
by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Rights
Certificate (except its countersignature thereon); nor shall it be responsible
for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this
Agreement or in any Rights Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for any
adjustment required under the provisions of Section 11, Section 13 or Section
29 hereof or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such
adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any
such adjustment (except with respect to the exercise of Rights evidenced by
Rights Certificates after actual notice of any such adjustment); nor shall it
by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the
authorization or reservation of any Common Shares to be issued pursuant to this
Agreement or any Rights Certificate or as to whether any Common Shares will,
when so issued, be validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(f)        The Company
agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be
performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts,
instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent
for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of
this Agreement.

(g)       The Rights
Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to
the performance of its duties hereunder from the Chairman of the Board, the
President, any Vice President, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the
Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in connection
with its duties, and it shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered to
be taken by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such
officer.

(h)       The Rights
Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Rights Agent
may buy, sell or deal in any of the Rights or other securities of the Company
or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be
interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as
fully and freely as though it were not Rights Agent under this Agreement.  

 30
 

Nothing
herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for
the Company or for any other legal entity.

(i)        The Rights
Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it
or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or
agents, and the Rights Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any
act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for any
loss to the Company resulting from any such act, default, neglect or
misconduct; provided, however, reasonable care was exercised in
the selection and continued employment thereof.

(j)        No provision
of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if there shall be
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(k)       If, with
respect to any Rights Certificate surrendered to the Rights Agent for exercise
or transfer, the certificate attached to the form of assignment or form of
election to purchase, as the case may be, has either not been completed or
indicates an affirmative response to clause 1 and/or 2 thereof, the Rights
Agent shall not take any further action with respect to such requested exercise
or transfer without first consulting with the Company.

Section 21.       Change
of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may resign
and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon 30 days’ notice in
writing mailed to the Company, and to each transfer agent of the Common Shares
of the Company, by registered or certified mail, and, if such resignation
occurs after the Distribution Date, to the registered holders of the Rights
Certificates by first-class mail.  The
Company may remove the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent upon 30 days’
notice in writing, mailed to the Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent, as the
case may be, and to each transfer agent of the Common Shares of the Company, by
registered or certified mail, and, if such removal occurs after the
Distribution Date, to the holders of the Rights Certificates by first-class
mail.  If the Rights Agent shall resign
or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall
appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. 
If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30
days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in
writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated
Rights Agent or by the holder of a Rights Certificate (who shall, with such notice,
submit his Rights Certificate for inspection by the Company), then any
registered holder of any Rights Certificate may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent.  If no successor Rights Agent shall have been
appointed within 30 days from effectiveness of such removal or resignation, and
no registered holder of any Rights Certificates have applied pursuant to this
Agreement for the appointment of a new Rights Agent, the Company shall be
automatically designated as successor Rights Agent.  Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed
by the Company or by such a court, shall be (a) a legal business entity
organized and doing business under the laws of the United 

 31
 

States or of any state of
the United States, in good standing, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust, stock transfer or shareholder services powers, subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority and which has at the
time of its appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at
least $100,000,000 or (b) an affiliate of a legal business entity described in
clause (a) of this sentence.  After
appointment, the successor Rights Agent shall be vested with the same powers,
rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as
Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the predecessor Rights Agent
shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the
time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver any further assurance,
conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose.  Not later than the effective date of any such
appointment, the Company shall file notice thereof in writing with the
predecessor Rights Agent and each transfer agent of the Common Shares of the
Company and, if such appointment occurs after the Distribution Date, mail a
notice thereof in writing to the registered holders of the Rights
Certificates.  Failure to give any notice
provided for in this Section 21, however, or any defect therein, shall not
affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights
Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.

Section 22.       Issuance
of New Rights Certificates. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this
Agreement or of the Rights Certificates to the contrary, the Company may, at
its option, issue new Rights Certificates evidencing Rights in such form as may
be approved by the Board to reflect any adjustment or change in the Purchase
Price and the number or kind or class of shares or other securities or property
purchasable under the Rights Certificates made in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.  In
addition, in connection with the issuance or sale of Common Shares of the
Company following the Distribution Date and prior to the redemption or
expiration of the Rights, the Company (a) shall, with respect to Common Shares
of the Company so issued or sold pursuant to the exercise of stock options or
under any employee plan or arrangement, granted or awarded as of the
Distribution Date, or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of securities
hereinafter issued by the Company, and (b) may, in any other case, if deemed
necessary or appropriate by the Board, issue Rights Certificates representing the
appropriate number of Rights in connection with such issuance or sale; provided,
however, that (i) no such Rights Certificate shall be issued if, and to
the extent that, the Company shall be advised by counsel that such issuance
would create a significant risk of material adverse tax consequences to the
Company or the Person to whom such Rights Certificate would be issued and (ii)
no such Rights Certificate shall be issued if, and to the extent that,
appropriate adjustment shall otherwise have been made in lieu of the issuance
thereof.

Section 23.       Redemption
and Termination.

(a)       The Board may,
at its option, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Close of Business on
the tenth Business Day following the Stock Acquisition Date (or, if the Stock
Acquisition Date shall have occurred prior to the Record Date, the Close of
Business on the tenth Business Day following the Record Date) or (ii) the Final
Expiration Date, direct the Company to, and if so directed, the Company shall,
redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding Rights at a redemption
price of $0.001 per 

 32
 

Right,
as such amount may be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock
dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof (such
redemption price being hereinafter referred to as the “Redemption Price”).  Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Rights shall not be exercisable after the first
occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event until such time as the Company’s right
of redemption hereunder has expired.  The
Company may, at its option, pay the Redemption Price in cash, Common Shares of
the Company (based on the Current Market Price of the Common Shares at the time
of redemption) or any other form of consideration deemed appropriate by the
Board.

(b)       Immediately
upon the action of the Board (with, if required, the concurrence of a majority
of the Continuing Trustees) ordering the redemption of the Rights, evidence of
which shall have been filed with the Rights Agent, and without any further
action and without any notice, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate
and the only right thereafter of the holders of Rights shall be to receive the
Redemption Price for each Right so held. 
Promptly after the action of the Board ordering the redemption of the
Rights, the Company shall give notice of such redemption to the Rights Agent
and the holders of the then outstanding Rights by mailing such notice to all
such holders at each holder’s last address as it appears upon the registry
books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, on the registry
books of the transfer agent for the Common Shares of the Company.  Any notice which is mailed in the manner
herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the
notice.  Each such notice of redemption
will state the method by which the payment of the Redemption Price will be
made.

(c)       Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 23(a) hereof, in the event that a majority of the
Board does not consist of Continuing Trustees (the first occurrence of such an
event referred to herein as a “Section 23(a) Event”), then for the maximum
period allowed under Maryland law (currently 180 days), following such Section
23(a) Event, the Rights shall not be redeemed unless there are Continuing
Trustees and a majority of the Continuing Trustees concur with the Board’s
decision to redeem the Rights.

Section 24.       Notice
of Certain Events.

(a)       In case the
Company shall propose, at any time after the Distribution Date, (i) to pay any
dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of Common Shares of the
Company or to make any other distribution to the holders of Common Shares of
the Company (other than a regular periodic cash dividend out of earnings or
retained earnings of the Company), or (ii) to offer to the holders of Common
Shares of the Company rights or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase any
additional Common Shares of the Company or shares of stock of any class or any
other securities, rights or options, or (iii) to effect any reclassification of
its Common Shares of the Company (other than a reclassification involving only
the subdivision of outstanding Common Shares of the Company), or (iv) to effect
any consolidation or merger into or with any other Person (other than a
Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction which complies with Section 11(o)
hereof), or to effect any sale or other transfer (or to permit 

 33
 

one or
more of its Subsidiaries to effect any sale or other transfer), in one
transaction or a series of related transactions, of more than 50% of the
assets, cash flow or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken
as a whole) to any other Person or Persons (other than the Company and/or any
of its Subsidiaries in one or more transactions each of which complies with
Section 11(o) hereof), or (v) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Company, then, in each such case, the Company shall give to each
holder of a Rights Certificate, to the extent feasible and in accordance with
Section 25 hereof, a notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the
record date for the purposes of such stock dividend or distribution of rights
or warrants, or the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is to take place and the
date of participation therein by the holders of the Common Shares of the
Company, if any such date is to be fixed, and such notice shall be so given in
the case of any action covered by clause (i) or (ii) above at least twenty (20)
days prior to the record date for determining holders of the shares of Common
Shares of the Company for purposes of such action, and in the case of any such
other action, at least twenty (20) days prior to the date of the taking of such
proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of the
Common Shares of the Company, whichever shall be the earlier.

(b)       In case any of
the events set forth in Section 11(a)(ii) hereof shall occur, then, in any such
case, (i) the Company shall as soon as practicable thereafter give to each
holder of a Rights Certificate, to the extent feasible and in accordance with
Section 25 hereof, a notice of the occurrence of such event, which shall
specify the event and the consequences of the event to holders of Rights under
Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, and (ii) all references in the preceding paragraph to
Common Shares of the Company shall be deemed thereafter to refer, if
appropriate, to other securities.

Section 25.       Notices.
Notices or demands authorized by this Agreement to be given or made by the
Rights Agent or by the holder of any Rights Certificate to or on the Company

prepaid, addressed to such holder at the address of such holder as shown on the
registry books of the Company.

Section 26.       Supplements
and Amendments. Prior to the Distribution Date, the Company and the Rights
Agent shall, if the Company so directs, supplement or amend any provision of
this Agreement without the approval of any holders of certificates representing
Common Shares of the Company.  From and
after the Distribution Date, the Company and the Rights Agent shall, if the
Company so directs, supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of
any holders of Rights Certificates in order (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to
correct or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions herein, (iii) to shorten or lengthen any
time period hereunder or (iv) to change or supplement the provisions hereunder
in any manner which the Company may deem necessary or desirable and which shall
not adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights Certificates (other
than an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring
Person).  Upon the delivery of a
certificate from an appropriate officer of the Company which states that the
proposed supplement or amendment is in compliance with the terms of this
Section 26, the Rights Agent shall execute such supplement or amendment.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, for the maximum period allowed under Maryland law (currently 180
days), following a Section 23(a) Event, in addition to the other provisions of
this Section 26, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented by the Board
only if there are Continuing Trustees and a majority of the Continuing Trustees
concur with such amendment or supplement. 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement may not
be amended (other than pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of the second sentence
of this Section 26) at a time when the Rights are not redeemable.  Prior to the Distribution Date, the interests
of the holders of Rights shall be deemed coincident with the interests of the
holders of Common Shares of the Company.

Section 27.       Successors.
All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the
Company or the Rights Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective
successors and assigns hereunder.

Section 28.       Determinations
and Actions by the Board, etc. For all purposes of this Agreement, any
calculation of the number of Common Shares of the Company or any other class of
capital stock outstanding at any particular time, including for purposes of
determining the particular percentage of such outstanding Common Shares of the
Company of which any Person is the Beneficial Owner, shall be made in
accordance with the last sentence of Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the General Rules
and Regulations under the Exchange Act. 
The Board (with, where specifically provided for 

 35
 

herein, the concurrence
of Continuing Trustees) shall have the exclusive power and authority to
administer this Agreement and to exercise all rights and powers specifically
granted to the Board (with, where specifically provided for herein, the
concurrence of Continuing Trustees) or to the Company, or as may be necessary
or advisable in the administration of this Agreement, including the right and
power to (a) interpret the provisions of this Agreement and (b) make all
determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this
Agreement (including a determination to redeem or not redeem the Rights or to
amend the Agreement).  All such actions,
calculations, interpretations and determinations (including, for purposes of
clause (y) below, all omissions with respect to the foregoing) which are done
or made by the Board (with, where specifically provided for herein, the
concurrence of Continuing Trustees), the Continuing Trustees, the Outside
Trustees or the Company in good faith, shall (x) be final, conclusive and
binding on the Company, the Rights Agent, the holders of the Rights and all
other parties and (y) not subject the Board, the Continuing Trustees or the
Outside Trustees to any liability to the holders of the Rights.

Section 29.       Exchange.

(a)       The Board
(with the concurrence of a majority of the Continuing Trustees) may, at its
option, at any time after any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, exchange all
or part of the then outstanding and exercisable Rights (which shall not include
Rights that have become void pursuant to the provision of Section 7(e) hereof)
for Common Shares of the Company at an exchange ratio of one Common Share of
the Company per Right, appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock
dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof (such exchange
ratio being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Ratio”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board
shall not be empowered to effect such exchange at any time after any Person
(other than a Person qualifying as an Exempt Person under clauses (i), (ii) or
(iii) under the definition of Exempt Person herein), together with all
Affiliates and Associates of such Person, becomes the Beneficial Owner of 50%
or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding.

(b)       Immediately
upon the action of the Board ordering the exchange of any Rights pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this Section 29 and without any further action and without
notice, the right to exercise such Rights shall terminate and the only right
thereafter of a holder of such Rights shall be to receive that number of Common
Shares of the Company equal to the number of such Rights held by such holder
multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.  The
Company shall promptly give public notice of any such exchange; provided,
however, that the failure to give, or any defect in, such notice shall
not affect the validity of such exchange. 
The Company promptly shall mail a notice of any such exchange to all of
the holders of such Rights at their last addresses as they appear upon the
registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, on the
registry books of the transfer agent for the Common Shares of the Company.  Any notice which is mailed in the manner
herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the
notice.  Each such notice of exchange will
state the method by which the exchange of the Common Shares of the Company for
Rights will be effected and, in the event of any partial exchange, the number
of Rights which will be exchanged.  

 36
 

Any
partial exchange shall be effected pro rata based on the number of Rights
(other than Rights which have become void pursuant to the provisions of Section
7(e) hereof) held by each holder of Rights.

(c)       In any
exchange pursuant to this Section 29, the Company, at its option, may
substitute Common Shares Equivalents for Common Shares of the Company
exchangeable for Rights, at the initial rate of one Common Shares Equivalent
for each Common Share of the Company, as appropriately adjusted to reflect
stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions.

(d)       In the event
that there shall not be sufficient Common Shares of the Company issued but not
outstanding or authorized but unissued to permit any exchange of Rights as
contemplated in accordance with this Section 29, the Company shall take all
such action as may be necessary to authorize additional Common Shares of the
Company for issuance upon exchange of the Rights.

(e)       The Company
shall not be required to issue fractions of Common Shares of the Company or to
distribute certificates which evidence fractional Common Shares of the
Company.  In lieu of such fractional
Common Shares of the Company, there shall be paid to the registered holders of
the Rights Certificates with regard to which such fractional Common Shares of
the Company would otherwise be issuable an amount in cash equal to the same
fraction of the current market value of a whole Common Share of the
Company.  For the purposes of this
paragraph (e), the current market value of a whole Common Share of the Company
shall be the closing price of a Common Share of the Company or, if unavailable,
the appropriate alternative price (in each case as determined pursuant to
Section 11(d) hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on
which the Board takes action ordering an exchange pursuant to this Section 29.

Section 30.       Benefits
of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to
any Person other than the Company, the Rights Agent and the registered holders
of the Rights Certificates (and, prior to the Distribution Date, registered
holders of the Common Shares of the Company) any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Agreement; but this Agreement shall be for the sole
and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Rights Agent and the registered
holders of the Rights Certificates (and, prior to the Distribution Date,
registered holders of the Common Shares of the Company).

Section 31.       Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or
restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or
other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated; provided,
however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, if any such term, provision, covenant or restriction is held by such
court or authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable and the Board (with the
concurrence of a majority of the Continuing Trustees) determines in its good
faith judgment that severing the invalid language from this Agreement would
adversely affect 

 37
 

the purpose or effect of
this Agreement, the right of redemption set forth in Section 23 hereof shall be
reinstated and shall not expire until the Close of Business on the tenth
Business Day following the date of such determination by the Board.  Without limiting the foregoing, if any
provision of this Agreement requiring that a determination be made by the Board
with the concurrence of a majority of the Continuing Trustees or the Outside
Trustees is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be
invalid, void or unenforceable, such determination shall then be made by the
Board in accordance with applicable law and the Company’s Amended and Restated
Declaration of Trust, as amended (as the same may be amended and restated from
time to time), and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (as the same may be
amended and restated from time to time).

Section 32.       Governing
Law. This Agreement, each Right and each Rights Certificate issued
hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of
Maryland and shall for all purposes be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Maryland applicable to contracts made and to be
performed entirely within the State of Maryland, including its principles of
conflicts of law.  The rights and duties
of the Rights Agent hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Maryland, including its principles of conflicts of law.

Section 33.       Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts and each of such
counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 34.       Descriptive
Headings. Descriptive headings of the several Sections of this Agreement
are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning
or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

Rights Certificate

HOSPITALITY
PROPERTIES TRUST

This certifies
that _________ , or registered assigns, is the registered owner of the number
of Rights set forth above, each of which entitles the owner thereof, subject to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Renewed Rights Agreement, dated as
of May 15, 2007 (the “Renewed Rights Agreement”), by and between Hospitality
Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association (the
“Rights Agent”), to purchase from the Company at any time prior to 5:00 P.M.
(Boston time), on May 15, 2017, unless such date is extended prior thereto
by the Company’s Board of Trustees (the “Final Expiration Date”), at the office
or offices of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, or at the office or
offices of its successors as Rights Agent, one common share of beneficial
interest, $.01 par value per share, of the Company (a “Common Share”), or in
certain circumstances, to receive cash, property or other securities of the
Company, at a purchase price of $150 per Common Share (the “Purchase Price”),
upon presentation and surrender of this Rights Certificate with the 

(1)           The portion of the
legend in brackets shall be inserted only if applicable and shall replace the
preceding sentence.

 

 A-1
 

Form of Election to
Purchase and related Certificate duly executed. The number of Rights evidenced
by this Rights Certificate (and the number of Common Shares which may be
purchased upon exercise thereof) set forth above, and the Purchase Price set
forth above, are the number of Rights and the Purchase Price as of May 15,
2007, respectively, based on the Common Shares as constituted at such
date.  The Company reserves the right to
require prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as such term is defined
in the Renewed Rights Agreement) that a number of Rights be exercised so that
only whole Common Shares will be issued.

Upon the occurrence
of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event (as such term is defined in the Renewed Rights
Agreement), if the Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate are beneficially
owned by (i) an Acquiring Person or an Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring
Person (as such terms are defined in the Renewed Rights Agreement), (ii) a
transferee of any such Acquiring Person, Associate or Affiliate who becomes a
transferee after such Acquiring Person, Associate or Affiliate becomes such or
(iii) under certain circumstances specified in the Renewed Rights Agreement, a
transferee of any such Acquiring Person, Associate or Affiliate who becomes a
transferee prior to or concurrently with such Acquiring Person becoming such,
such Rights shall become null and void and no holder hereof shall have any
right with respect to such Rights from and after the occurrence of such Section
11(a)(ii) Event.

As provided in the
Renewed Rights Agreement, the Purchase Price and the number and kind of Common
Shares (or the amount of cash, property or other securities) which may be
purchased upon the exercise of the Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate
are subject to modification and adjustment upon the happening of certain
events, including those events specified in Section 11(a)(ii) and Section 13 of
the Renewed Rights Agreement.

This Rights
Certificate is subject to all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Renewed Rights Agreement, which terms, provisions and conditions are hereby
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof and to which Renewed
Rights Agreement reference is hereby made for a full description of the rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities hereunder of the
Rights Agent, the Company and the holders of the Rights Certificates, which
limitations of rights include the temporary suspension of the exercisability of
such Rights under the specific circumstances set forth in the Renewed Rights
Agreement.  Copies of the Renewed Rights
Agreement are on file at the offices of the Rights Agent and are also available
upon written request to the Rights Agent.

This Rights
Certificate, with or without other Rights Certificates, upon surrender at the
principal office or offices of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose,
may be exchanged for another Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates of like
tenor and date evidencing Rights entitling the holder to purchase a like
aggregate number of Common Shares as the Rights evidenced by the Rights
Certificate or Rights Certificates surrendered shall have entitled such holder
to purchase.  If this Rights Certificate
shall be 

 A-2
 

exercised in part, the
holder shall be entitled to receive upon surrender hereof another Rights
Certificate or Rights Certificates for the number of whole Rights not
exercised.

Subject to the
provisions of the Renewed Rights Agreement, the Rights evidenced by this
Certificate may be redeemed by the Company at its option at a redemption price
of $0.001 per Right at any time prior to the earlier of the close of business
on (i) the tenth business day following the Stock Acquisition Date (as defined
in the Renewed Rights Agreement) (as such time period may be extended pursuant
to the Renewed Rights Agreement) and (ii) the Final Expiration Date.  In the event that a majority of the Board of
Trustees of the Company is no longer comprised of Continuing Trustees (as
defined in the Renewed Rights Agreement), then for the maximum period allowed
under Maryland law following the time that a majority of the Board of Trustees
of the Company is no longer comprised of Continuing Trustees, the Rights cannot
be redeemed unless there are Continuing Trustees and a majority of the
Continuing Trustees concur with the decision of the Board of Trustees of the
Company to redeem the Rights.  In
addition, under certain circumstances, the Board of Trustees of the Company
may, at its option, at any time after any person or entity becomes an Acquiring
Person, exchange the Rights, in whole or in part, for Common Shares or other
equity securities of the Company having essentially the same value or economic
rights as such shares.  Immediately upon
the action of the Board of Trustees of the Company ordering any such exchange,
and without any further action or any notice, the Rights which are subject to
such exchange will terminate and thereafter the Rights will only enable holders
to receive the shares issuable upon such exchange.

The Company is not
required to issue fractional Common Shares upon the exercise of any Right or
Rights evidenced hereby.  In lieu
thereof, a cash payment may be made, as provided in the Renewed Rights
Agreement.

No holder of this
Rights Certificate, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or
be deemed for any purpose to be the holder of Common Shares or of any other
securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise
hereof, nor shall anything contained in the Renewed Rights Agreement or herein
be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a
shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of trustees or
upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or
withhold consent to any trust action, or to receive notice of meetings or other
actions affecting shareholders (except as provided in the Renewed Rights
Agreement), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, until
the Right or Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate shall have been
exercised as provided in the Renewed Rights Agreement.

This Rights
Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall
have been countersigned by the Rights Agent.

WITNESS the facsimile signature of the proper officers
of the Company and its seal.

Exhibit B

SUMMARY OF RIGHTS

TO PURCHASE COMMON
SHARES

On May 15, 2007,
the Board of Trustees of Hospitality Properties Trust (the “Company”)
authorized the payment of a dividend of one right for each of the Company’s
common shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share (the “Common
Shares”), outstanding at the close of business on May 31, 2007 (the “Record
Date”).  Each Right entitles the
registered holder to purchase from the Company one Common Share or in certain
circumstances, to receive cash, property or other securities of the Company, at
a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of $150 per Common Share, subject to
adjustment (the “Rights”).  The
description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Renewed Rights Agreement
(the “Renewed Rights Agreement”) between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, a national banking association, as Rights Agent.

Initially, the
Rights will be attached to all certificates representing the Common Shares and
no separate Rights Certificates will be distributed.  Subject to certain exceptions specified in
the Renewed Rights Agreement, the Rights will separate from the Common Shares
and a distribution date (a “Distribution Date”) will occur upon the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the tenth business day (or such later date as
the Company’s Board of Trustees (with the concurrence of a majority of the
Continuing Trustees (as defined below)) may determine) following a public
announcement by the Company that a person or group of affiliated or associated
persons not otherwise exempt under the Renewed Rights Agreement has acquired
beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the outstanding Common Shares (an “Acquiring
Person,” and the date of such announcement being the “Stock Acquisition Date”)
or (ii) the tenth business day (or such later date as the Company’s Board of
Trustees (with the concurrence of a majority of the Continuing Trustees) may
determine) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that,
if consummated, would result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person.

Until the
Distribution Date, (i) the Rights will be evidenced by the certificates for
Common Shares and will be transferred with and only with such Common Share
certificates, (ii) new Common Share certificates issued after the Record Date
will contain a notation incorporating the Renewed Rights Agreement by reference
and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any certificates for Common Shares
outstanding will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the
Common Shares represented by such certificates.

The Rights are not
exercisable until after the Distribution Date and will expire at the close of
business on May 15, 2017, unless such date is extended or the Rights are
earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company as described below.  Pursuant to the Renewed Rights Agreement, the
Company reserves the right to require prior to the occurrence of a Triggering
Event (as defined below) that, upon any exercise of Rights, a number of Rights
be exercised so that only whole Common Shares will be issued.

 B-1
 

As soon as
practicable after the Distribution Date, Rights Certificates will be mailed to
holders of record of the Common Shares as of the close of business on the
Distribution Date and, from and after the Distribution Date, the separate
Rights Certificates alone will represent the Rights.  Except for Common Shares issued pursuant to
exercises of stock options or as awards under an employee plan or arrangement
granted or awarded as of the Distribution Date or upon the exercise, conversion
or exchange of securities issued by the Company after the date of the Renewed
Rights Agreement, or as otherwise determined by the Board of Trustees of the
Company, Rights will only be issued with respect to Common Shares that were
issued prior to the Distribution Date.

In the event (a “Flip-In
Event”) a Person becomes an Acquiring Person (except pursuant to a tender offer
or exchange offer for all outstanding Common Shares at a price and on terms
which a majority of the Company’s Outside Trustees (as defined in the Renewed
Rights Agreement) determines, after receiving advice from one or more
investment banking firms, to be at a price which is fair to the Company’s
shareholders and not inadequate and to otherwise be in the best interests of
the Company and its shareholders (a “Qualified Offer”)), each holder of a Right
will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise of such Right, Common
Shares (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the
Company) having a Current Market Price (as defined in the Renewed Rights
Agreement) equal to two times the exercise price of the Right.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the
occurrence of a Flip-In Event, all Rights that are, or (under certain
circumstances specified in the Renewed Rights Agreement) were, beneficially
owned by an Acquiring Person (or by any affiliate or associate of the Acquiring
Person or by certain transferees of the Acquiring Person or the Acquiring
Person’s affiliates or associates) will be null and void.  However, Rights will not be exercisable
following the occurrence of a Flip-In Event until such time as the Rights are
no longer redeemable by the Company, which redemption rights are referred to
below.

For example, at an
exercise price of $150 per Right, each Right not owned by an Acquiring Person
(or by an affiliate or associate of an Acquiring Person or by certain
transferees of the Acquiring Person or the Acquiring Person’s affiliates or
associates) following a Flip-In Event would entitle its holder to purchase $300
worth of Common Shares (or other consideration, as noted above) for $150.  Assuming that the Current Market Price per
Common Share is $50 at such time, the holder of each valid Right would be
entitled to purchase six Common Shares for $150.

In the event (a “Flip-Over
Event”) that, following the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) the Company engages in
a merger or other business combination transaction in which the Company is not
the surviving entity (other than with an entity which acquired the shares
pursuant to a Qualified Offer at the same price and with the same form of
consideration paid pursuant to the Qualified Offer), (ii) the Company engages
in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the Company is
the surviving entity and the Common Shares are changed or exchanged (other than
with an entity which acquired the shares pursuant to a Qualified Offer at the
same price and with the same form of 

 B-2
 

consideration paid
pursuant to the Qualified Offer) or (iii) more than 50% of the assets, cash
flow or earning power of the Company and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole) is
sold or transferred (other than pro rata distributions to all holders of Common
Shares), each holder of a Right (except Rights which previously have been
voided, as set forth above) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon
exercise of such Right, a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring
company having a Current Market Price equal to two times the exercise price of
the Right.  Flip-In Events and Flip-Over
Events are referred to as “Triggering Events.”

At any time after
a person becomes an Acquiring Person and, subject to certain exceptions, prior
to the acquisition by a person or group of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
outstanding Common Shares, the Company’s Board of Trustees may exchange the
Rights (other than Rights owned by a person or group which have become void),
in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one Common Share (or of a share of
a class or series of the Company’s equity securities having equivalent rights,
preferences and privileges), per Right (subject to adjustment).

The Purchase Price
payable and the number of Common Shares (or the amount of cash, property or
other securities) issuable upon exercise of the Rights are subject to
adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a share
dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Common
Shares, (ii) if holders of the Common Shares are granted certain rights or
warrants to subscribe for Common Shares or convertible securities at less than
the Current Market Price of the Common Shares or (iii) upon the distribution to
holders of the Common Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding
regular periodic cash dividends) or of subscription rights or warrants (other
than those referred to above).

With certain
exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until
cumulative adjustments amount to at least 1% of the Purchase Price.  The Company is not required to issue
fractional Common Shares upon the exercise of any Right and, in lieu thereof,
an adjustment in cash may be made, based on the market price of the Common
Shares on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise.

At any time until
the close of business on the tenth business day following the Stock Acquisition
Date, the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price
of $0.001 per Right (payable in cash, Common Shares or other consideration
deemed appropriate by the Company’s Board of Trustees).  In the event that a majority of the Company’s
Board of Trustees is no longer comprised of Continuing Trustees (a “Section
23(a) Event”), then for the maximum period allowed under Maryland law following
the first occurrence of a Section 23(a) Event (which, as of May 15, 2007, is
180 days), the Rights cannot be redeemed unless there are Continuing Trustees
and a majority of the Continuing Trustees concur with the Board of Trustees’
decision to redeem the Rights. 
Immediately upon the action of the Company’s Board of Trustees ordering
redemption of the Rights (with, where required, the concurrence of the
Continuing Trustees), the Rights will terminate and the only right of the
holders of Rights will be to receive the $0.001 per Right redemption
price.  The term “Continuing 

 B-3
 

Trustees” means any
member of the Board of Trustees of the Company who was a member of the Board of
Trustees immediately prior to the date of the Renewed Rights Agreement, and any
person who is subsequently elected to the Board of Trustees if such person is
recommended or approved by a majority of the Continuing Trustees, but does not
include an Acquiring Person, or an affiliate or associate of an Acquiring
Person, or any representative or nominee of an Acquiring Person or of any
affiliate or associate of an Acquiring Person.

                Until
a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a
shareholder of the Company, including, the right to vote or to receive
dividends.  While the distribution of the
Rights should not be taxable to shareholders or to the Company, shareholders
may, depending upon the circumstances, recognize taxable income in the event
that the Rights become exercisable for Common Shares (or cash, property or other
securities) of the Company or for common stock of the acquiring company or in
the event of the redemption of the Rights as set forth above.

Any provision of
the Renewed Rights Agreement may be amended by the Company and the Rights
Agent, without the approval of any holders of Common Shares, prior to the
Distribution Date.  From and after the
Distribution Date, the provisions of the Renewed Rights Agreement may be
amended by the Company and the Rights Agent, without the approval of any
holders of Rights, only in order to cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency, to make changes which do not adversely affect the interests of
holders of Rights (excluding the interests of any Acquiring Person and certain
other related parties) or to shorten or lengthen any time period under the
Renewed Rights Agreement.  For the
maximum period permitted under Maryland law following the first occurrence of a
Section 23(a) Event, the Renewed Rights Agreement may only be amended if there
are Continuing Trustees and a majority of the Continuing Trustees concur with
the amendment.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, after such time as the Rights are not redeemable, the Renewed Rights
Agreement may only be amended to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency.

A copy of the
Renewed Rights Agreement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as an Exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 16,
2007.  A copy of the Renewed Rights
Agreement is available free of charge from the Company or the Rights
Agent.  This summary description of the
Rights does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Renewed Rights Agreement, which is incorporated herein by
reference.
