under the Plan is the lesser of (i) 3,128,791 Shares or (ii) 5% of the
Company’s outstanding Shares as of May 30, 2003, from either authorized and

exceed the lesser of (i) 3,128,791 Shares or (ii) 5% of the Company’s
outstanding Shares as of May 30, 2003. 
A holder of Shares granted under the Plan, whether or not vested, shall
have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to
vote the shares and the right to receive any distributions, unless the Board
shall otherwise determine.  Certificates
representing Shares may be imprinted with a legend to the effect that the
Shares represented may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except in accordance with the terms of
the Securities Act and the applicable Share Agreement, if any.

 

IV.  METHOD OF GRANTING SHARES

 

Grants of Shares
to any person shall be made by action of the Board, and shall be made solely in
accordance with the instructions of the Board as to the selection of persons to
whom Shares are to be granted, the amount and timing of each such grant, and
the extent, if any, to which vesting restrictions or other conditions shall
apply to the granted Shares.  If a
person to whom such a grant of Shares has been made fails to execute and
deliver to the Company a Share Agreement within ten (10) days after it is
submitted to him or her, the grant of Shares related to such Share Agreement
may be cancelled by the Company, acting by the Board, at its option without

Trustee or officer of the Company may be granted under the Plan and the 1995 Plan
together more than the lesser of (i) 625,758 Shares or (ii) 1% of the Company’s
outstanding Shares as of May 30, 2003. 
Nothing in this Section IV shall prevent the Board from delegating its
authority to make grants to a committee pursuant to Section V.

 

V.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

 

The Plan shall be
administered by the Board or, in the discretion of the Board, a committee
designated by the Board and composed of at least two (2) members of the
Board.  All references in the Plan to
the Board shall be understood to refer to such committee or the Board, whoever
shall administer the Plan.  All
questions of interpretation and application of the Plan and of grants of Shares
shall be determined by the Board or the designated committee, and its
determination shall be final and binding upon all persons, including the
Company and all Participants.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board or the designated committee
is authorized to adopt and approve from time to time the forms and, subject to
the terms of the Plan, the terms and conditions of any Share Agreement.  If it determines to do so, the Board or the
designated committee may grant shares under this Plan which are not subject to
a Share Agreement.

 

For so long as
Section 16 of the Exchange is applicable to the Company, each member of any
committee designated to administer the Plan shall be a “non-employee director”
or the equivalent within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and,
for so long as

 

2

 

Section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the
“Code”), is applicable to the Company, an “outside director” within the meaning
of Section 162 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

 

With respect to
persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (“Insiders”), transactions
under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule
16b-3 or its successor under the Exchange Act. 
To the extent any provision of the Plan fails to so comply, it shall be
deemed to be modified so as to be in compliance with such Rule or, if such
modification is not possible, it shall be deemed to be null and void, to the
extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Board.

 

VI.  ELIGIBLE PERSONS

 

The persons
eligible to receive grants of Shares shall be those persons selected by the
Board or the designated committee from among Key Persons who contribute to the
business of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

VII.  CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

 

In the event that
the outstanding shares are hereafter changed for a different number or kind of
Shares or other securities of the Company, by reason of a reorganization,
recapitalization, exchange of shares, stock split, combination of shares or
dividend payable in shares or other securities, a corresponding adjustment
shall be made in the number and kind of Shares or other securities covered by
outstanding grants of Shares, and for which Shares may be granted under the
Plan.

 

VIII.  EFFECTIVE DATE, DURATION, AMENDMENT AND
TERMINATION OF PLAN

 

The Plan shall be
effective at the close of business on May 30, 2003.  Shares may be granted under the Plan from time to time until the
close of business on the tenth anniversary of its effective date.  The Board hereafter may at any time amend or
extend the Plan, including amendments to change the number of shares subject to
the Plan.  The Plan may be terminated at
any time by action of the Board without, however, affecting the rights of a
Participant or the Company as to Shares granted prior to such termination.

 

IX.  MISCELLANEOUS

 

A.  Nonassignability of Shares.  Shares subject to a Share Agreement shall
not be assignable or transferable by a Participant except in accordance with
the terms of the applicable Share Agreement.

 

B.  No Guarantee of Employment.  Neither the award of Shares nor a Share
Agreement shall give any person the right to continue in the employment of, or
to continue to act as an officer or, Trustee of, or to serve in any other
capacity with, the Company, any subsidiary or the Advisor, or give the Company,
any subsidiary or the Advisor the right to require such person to continue in
any such capacity.

 

3

 

C.  Tax Withholding.  To the extent required by law, the Company shall withhold or cause
to be withheld income and other taxes incurred by a Participant by reason of a
grant of Shares, and as a condition to the receipt of any grant such a
Participant shall agree that if the amount payable to him by the Company in the
ordinary course is insufficient to pay such taxes, he or she shall upon request
of the Company pay to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy its tax
withholding obligations.
