Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan. The parties agree as follows: 1. Sale of Stock. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby agrees to issue to the Participant __________ shares of the Company's Stock (the "Shares") for good and valuable consideration which the Company has determined to exceed the par value of the Company's Stock. (b) The issuance of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement by the parties or on such other date as the Company and the Participant shall agree (the "Issuance Date").

Forfeiture Restriction. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2(b) below, if the Participant ceases to be an Employee, Director or Consultant of the Company, the Partnership or any of their Subsidiaries for any or no reason, all of the Unreleased Shares (as defined below) shall thereupon be forfeited immediately and without any further action by the Company (the "Forfeiture Restriction"). Upon the occurrence of such a forfeiture, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares being forfeited and all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of Shares being forfeited by the Participant. (b) Provided that the Participant continues to be an Employee, Director or Consultant of the Company, the Partnership or any of their Subsidiaries on such date, the Shares shall be released from the Forfeiture Restriction as follows: (c) Any of the Shares which, from time to time, have not yet been released from the Forfeiture Restriction are referred to herein as "Unreleased Shares." 3. Restrictions on Transfer.

Escrow of Shares. (a) The Participant hereby authorizes and directs the secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Board, to transfer the Unreleased Shares which have been forfeited by the Participant to the Company. (b) To insure the availability for delivery of the Participant's Unreleased Shares in the event of forfeiture of such Shares by the Participant pursuant to Section 2, the Participant hereby appoints the secretary, or any other person designated by the Administrator as escrow agent, as its attorney-in-fact to assign and transfer unto the Company, such Unreleased Shares, if any, forfeited by the Participant pursuant to Section 2 and shall, upon execution of this Agreement, deliver and deposit with the secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Administrator, the share certificates representing the Unreleased Shares, together with the stock assignment duly endorsed in blank, attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Unreleased Shares and stock assignment shall be held by the secretary in escrow, pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of the Company and the Participant attached as Exhibit B hereto, until the shares are forfeited by the Participant as provided in Section 2, until such Unreleased Shares are released from the Forfeiture Restriction, or until such time as this Agreement no longer is in effect. Upon release of the Unreleased Shares, the escrow agent shall deliver to the Participant the certificate or certificates representing such Shares in the escrow agent's possession belonging to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Joint Escrow Instructions attached as Exhibit B hereto, and the escrow agent shall be discharged of all further obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the escrow agent shall nevertheless retain such certificate or certificates as escrow agent if so required pursuant to other restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement. (c) The Company, or its designee, shall not be liable for any act it may do or omit to do with respect to holding the Shares in escrow and while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment. 2 5. Stock Certificate Legends.

Adjustment for Stock Split. All references to the number of Shares in this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend or other similar change in the Shares which may be made by the Company after the date of this Agreement. 7. Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to require payment to the Company, the Partnership or any of their Subsidiaries in cash or deduction from other compensation payable to the Participant of any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to the issuance or lapsing of restrictions on the Shares. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing vested Shares to the Participant or his legal representative unless and until the Participant or his legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of the Participant resulting from the grant of the Shares or the lapse or removal of the Forfeiture Restriction. 8. Section 83(b). Participant covenants that he or she will not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the receipt of any of the Shares without the consent of the Administrator, which the Administrator may grant or withhold in its sole discretion. 9. Ownership Limit and REIT Status. The Forfeiture Restriction on the Shares shall not lapse if the lapsing of such restrictions would likely result in any of the following: (a) a violation of the restrictions or limitations on ownership provided for from time to time under the terms of the organizational documents of the Company; or (b) income to the Company that could impair the Company's status as a real estate investment trust, within the meaning of Section 856 through 860 of the Code. 10.

The rights granted both parties herein are cumulative and shall not constitute a waiver of either party's right to assert all other legal remedies available to it under the circumstances. (d) THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE LAPSING OF THE FORFEITURE RESTRICTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2 HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING SERVICE TO THE COMPANY, THE PARTNERSHIP OR ONE OF THEIR SUBSIDIARIES AS AN "AT WILL" EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT OF THE COMPANY, THE PARTNERSHIP OR ONE OF THEIR SUBSIDIARIES OR A DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER).
