RAIT FINANCIAL TRUST

Common Share Purchase Warrant

RAIT FINANCIAL TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), for value received, hereby certifies that ARS VI Investor I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), or its registered assigns, is entitled to purchase from the Company a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.03 per share, of the Company (the “Common Shares”) equal to 1,986,200, which shall be adjusted or readjusted from time to time as provided herein (as adjusted, the “Warrant Shares”), at the purchase price per share of $6.00 (the “Initial Warrant Price”), which shall be adjusted or readjusted from time to time as provided herein (as adjusted, the “Warrant Price”), at any time or from time to time, subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments set forth below in this Warrant (as defined below).

This Warrant is one of the Common Share Purchase Warrants (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants,” such term to include any such warrants issued in substitution therefor) that may be issued from time to time pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (as may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Signing Date”), by and among the Company, RAIT Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Taberna Realty Finance Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust, RAIT Asset Holdings IV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the Purchaser. Assuming the maximum number of Warrants issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are issued, the Warrants evidence rights to purchase an aggregate of up to 9,931,000 Common Shares as of the Signing Date, subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a purchase price per Common Share equal to the Initial Warrant Price. All capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined in Section 13 hereof shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT

1.1 Manner of Exercise; Payment.

1.1.1 Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise at any time and from time to time this Warrant, in whole or in part, during normal business hours on any Trading Day prior to the termination of this Warrant provided for in Section 12 hereof by surrender of this Warrant (or an affidavit of loss in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the Company at its office maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof, accompanied by an exercise notice in substantially the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by such Holder (each, an “Exercise Notice”) and accompanied by payment either (i) in cash, (ii) by bank or certified check payable to the order of the Company, (iii) by wire transfer to an account identified by the Company, (iv) by the surrender by such Holder to the Company, at the aforesaid offices, of Series D Preferred Shares held by such Holder, and all such Series D Preferred Shares so surrendered shall be credited against such payment in an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference of such Series D Preferred Shares at the time of such surrender, or (v) by any combination of any of the foregoing methods, in the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of Warrant Shares (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof) designated in such exercise notice by (b) the Initial Warrant Price, and such Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares (or Other Securities) determined as provided in Sections 2 through 4 hereof.

1.1.2 Net Exchange. If instead of exercising the Warrant pursuant to the terms of Section 1.1.1 above, the Holder hereof elects to exchange this Warrant, in whole or in part, for Common Shares, then such Holder shall surrender this Warrant (or an affidavit of loss in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the Company at its office maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof during normal business hours on any Trading Day accompanied by a notice of exchange in substantially the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit B (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by such Holder, and such Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares (or Other Securities) determined as follows:

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

2

The “exchange” of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.1.2 is intended to qualify as a recapitalization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code and the Company agrees to report any exchange of this Warrant as such. For all purposes of this Warrant (other than this Section 1.1), any reference herein to the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to include a reference to the exchange of this Warrant into Common Shares (or Other Securities) in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.1.2.

1.1.3 Principal Market Regulation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Common Shares upon exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant any Common Shares, if the issuance of such Common Shares would exceed that number of Common Shares which the Company may issue upon exercise of the Warrants without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the approval of its shareholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of Common Shares in excess of such amount (which shareholder approval the Company may, but shall not be required hereunder to, seek). Until such approval is obtained, no holder of any Warrants shall be issued in the aggregate, upon exercise of the Warrants, Common Shares in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants issued to such holder and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Common Shares underlying the Warrants issued or issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on the date of such exercise (with respect to each Holder, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Warrants, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee. If any holder of Warrants shall exercise all of such holder’s Warrants into a number of Common Shares which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of Common Shares actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Warrants on a pro rata basis in proportion to the Common Shares underlying the Warrants then held by each such holder. If the Company is prohibited from issuing any Common Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as a result of the operation of this Section 1.1.3, the Company shall, upon such exercise, issue the maximum number of Common Shares that it is able to issue to the Holder below such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and shall pay to the Holder an amount per Common Share that it is prohibited from issuing equal to the difference between the average VWAP on a Common Share for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such exercise and the then existing Warrant Price. If the Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by surrendering Series D Preferred Shares held by such Holder pursuant to Section 1.1.1, then the Company shall, upon such exercise, issue the maximum number of Common Shares that it is able to issue to the Holder below such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and shall pay to the Holder an amount per Common Share that it is prohibited from issuing equal to the average VWAP on a Common Share for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such

3

exercise. Such payments may be made at the Company’s option either (i) in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (ii) by executing and delivering to the Holder of this Warrant a promissory note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C having a principal amount equal to such amount payable to the Holder or (iii) any combination of cash or promissory note. Such payment shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedies available to the Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, based solely on the representations by the Company as of the Signing Date, the Exchange Cap is equal to 9,931,000 Common Shares, which equals approximately 19.9% of the number of Common Shares outstanding on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Signing Date (as appropriately adjusted for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like).

1.2 When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Trading Day on which this Warrant (or an affidavit of loss in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company), the Exercise Notice and the Warrant Price shall be deemed to have been surrendered and paid to the Company as provided in Section 1.1 hereof, and at such time the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for Common Shares (or Other Securities) shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1.3 hereof shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof.

1.3 Delivery of Share Certificates, etc. As soon as practicable after each exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and payment in full of the Warrant Price payable under this Warrant, and in any event within two (2) Trading Days thereafter, the Company at its sole expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof or, subject to Section 11 hereof, as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

(a) a certificate or certificates for the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount equal to the same fraction of the VWAP per Common Share on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such exercise; and

(b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, dated the date hereof and calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares designated by the Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 1.1 hereof.

1.4 Company to Reaffirm Obligations. The Company will, at the time of each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights (including, without limitation, any rights to registration of the resale of the Common Shares issued upon such exercise pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement) to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement;

4

provided, however, that if the Holder of this Warrant shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford such rights to such Holder.

2. ADJUSTMENT OF COMMON SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE.

2.1 General; Number of Shares; Warrant Price

2.1.1 The number of Common Shares which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon each exercise hereof shall be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares which would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 2) be issuable upon such exercise, as designated by the Holder hereof pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof, by the fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Initial Warrant Price and (b) the denominator is the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise.

2.1.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2, the Warrant Price shall not be adjusted for:

(a) issuances or sales of up to an aggregate of 3,070,187 Additional Common Shares (or Options, Other Securities, Convertible Securities for Additional Common Shares or any other securities under the Company’s 2012 Incentive Award Plan (as amended and restated as of May 22, 2012) and its predecessors or successors) to employees, trustees, directors or non-affiliated consultants of the Company or its Subsidiaries;

(b) issuances or sales of Common Shares or Other Securities pursuant to plans of the Company for reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Trust but not investments of additional optional amounts in Common Shares or Other Securities under those plans;

(c) issuances or sales of Common Shares, Other Securities, Options or Convertible Securities under contracts, agreements, Options, Other Securities, Convertible Securities or other arrangements in existence on the Signing Date and set forth on Schedule A hereto;

(d) issuances or sales of Common Shares, Other Securities, Options or Convertible Securities for a consideration per share that is not less than the greater of the Current Market Price and the Warrant Price; or

(e) purchases, redemptions and other retirement of Common Shares, Options, Other Securities or Convertible Securities for a consideration per share below the Current Market Price.

2.2 Adjustment of Warrant Price.

2.2.1 Issuance of Additional Common Shares. Except as provided in Section 2.1.2, in the event the Company, at any time or from time to time, on or after the Signing Date shall issue or sell Additional Common Shares (including Additional Common Shares deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.4 hereof) without consideration or for consideration per

5

share less than the greater of the Current Market Price or the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale, then, and in each such case, subject to Section 2.7 hereof, such Warrant Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue or sale, to a price (calculated to the nearest .001 of a cent) determined by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction:

(a) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (ii) the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of Options or conversion of Convertible Securities outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale if the issuance, sale or grant of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price prior to such issue or sale plus (iii) the number of Common Shares which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of such Additional Common Shares so issued or sold would purchase at the greater of such Current Market Price and such Warrant Price; and

(b) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such issue or sale (including any such Common Shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to Section 2.8) plus (ii) the number of Common Shares included in the numerator pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 2.2.1(a).

2.2.2 Extraordinary Dividends. In the event that during any twelve-month period commencing immediately following the Signing Date (an “Annual Dividend Period”), the Company makes dividends or other distributions (including without limitation any distribution of securities or property, but excluding dividends or distributions referred to in Section 2.4) on the Common Shares in an amount that, when added to all other dividends or such distributions made on the Common Shares during such Annual Dividend Period (collectively, the “Aggregate Annual Dividend Amount”) exceed the Ordinary Dividend Amount (as defined below), then, and in each such case, the Warrant Price shall be reduced immediately thereafter (but in no event reduced by more than the amount of such excess, which amount is hereafter referred to as the “Excess Amount”)) to the price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the reduction by the quotient of (x) the average VWAP of a Common Share for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the first date on which the Common Shares trade regular way on the Principal Market without the right to receive such dividend or distribution (the “Market Price”), minus the Excess Amount divided by (y) such Market Price. “Ordinary Dividend Amount” means the aggregate amount of $0.40 per Common Share (the “Initial Dividend Amount”) for the Annual Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the second anniversary of the Signing Date, which Initial Dividend Amount shall increase by an additional 5% on the second anniversary of the Signing Date (as increased, the “Adjusted Dividend Amount”) and which Adjusted Dividend Amount shall further increase by 5% of the amount of the immediately preceding Adjusted Dividend Amount each successive anniversary of the Signing Date following the second anniversary of the Signing Date. If any dividend or distribution is declared but not so paid or made, the Warrant Price shall be readjusted to the Warrant Price that would have been in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. The amount of any non-cash dividend or distribution shall be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or a committee thereof. The Ordinary Dividend Amount shall be subject to adjustment in a manner inversely

6

proportional to the adjustments to the number of Common Shares which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon each exercise hereof made pursuant to Section 2.1.1.

2.2.3 Above Market Purchases of Common Shares. Except as provided in Section 2.1.2, if, at any time after the Signing Date, the Company shall repurchase (a “Repurchase”), by self-tender offer or otherwise, any outstanding Common Shares for a consideration per share that exceeds the Current Market Price in effect immediately prior to the earlier of (i) the date of such Repurchase, (ii) the commencement of an offer to repurchase or (iii) the public announcement of either (such date being referred to as the “Determination Date”), then, and in each such case, subject to Section 2.7 hereof, such Warrant Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue or sale, to a price determined by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction:

(a) the numerator of which shall be (x) the product of (1) the Current Market Price as of the Determination Date times (2) the sum of (i) the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Repurchase plus (ii) the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of Options or conversion of Convertible Securities outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale if the issuance, sale or grant of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price prior to such issue or sale less (y) the Repurchase Premium (as defined below), and

(b) the denominator of which shall be (x) the product of (1) the Current Market Price as of the Determination Date times (2) the sum of (i) the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Repurchase (including any such Common Shares deemed to be outstanding pursuant to Section 2.8) plus (ii) the number of Common Shares included in the numerator pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 2.2.3(a)(x)(2).

The amount by which the aggregate repurchase prices for all securities repurchased in any Repurchase exceeds the Current Market Price for such securities is referred to as the “Repurchase Premium”.

2.3 Treatment of Options and Convertible Securities.

2.3.1 Issuance of Options or Convertible Securities. In the event that the Company, at any time or from time to time, on or after the Signing Date, issues, sells, grants or assumes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive, any Options or Convertible Securities for consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof) less than the greater of the Current Market Price or the Warrant Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, sale, grant or assumption or immediately prior to the close of business on such record date (or, if the Common Shares trade on an ex-dividend basis, on the date immediately prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), then, and in each such case, the maximum number of Additional Common Shares (as set forth in the instruments related thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number the purpose of which is to protect against dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options

7

therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or, in the case of any instrument the value of which is linked to Common Shares, the maximum number of Common Shares to which such value is linked, shall be deemed to be Additional Common Shares issued as of the time of such issue, sale, grant or assumption or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date (or, if the Common Shares trade on an ex-dividend basis, on the date immediately prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading). Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3.2, (a) with respect to Options, no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made (i) upon the actual issuance of (A) such Common Shares or (B) of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options, (ii) upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or (iii) upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertibles Securities, and (b) with respect to Convertible Securities, (i) no adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and (ii) if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities, no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.

2.3.2 Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate; Termination of Options or Convertible Securities. If a change occurs in (a) the maximum number of Common Shares issuable in connection with any Option or Convertible Security, (b) the purchase price provided for in any Option, (c) the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or (d) the rate at which Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares, then the Warrant Price in effect at the time of such event shall be readjusted (or adjusted, in the event that no adjustment was made in connection with the original issue sale, grant or assumption, or fixing of a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such Options or Convertible Securities) to the Warrant Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities that remain outstanding provided for such changed maximum number of shares, purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued, sold or assumed.

2.3.3 Expiration or Cancellation of Options or Convertible Securities. In any case in which Additional Common Shares shall be deemed to be issued under Section 2.3.1 in connection with the issuance, sale, grant or assumption of Options or Convertible Securities then upon the expiration, cancellation or retirement of any such Options or Convertible Securities which have not been exercised or converted, the Warrant Price and any subsequent adjustments based thereon shall be adjusted and recomputed as if:

(i) in the case of Options for Common Shares or Convertible Securities, the only Additional Common Shares issued or sold were the Additional Common Shares, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise, or for

8

the issue or sale of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, and

(ii) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of such Options were issued at the time of the issue or sale, grant or assumption of such Options, and the consideration received by the Company for the Additional Common Shares deemed to have then been issued was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Company (pursuant to Section 2.5) upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

2.4 Treatment of Share Dividends, Share Splits, etc. In the event the Company, at any time or from time to time, on or after the Signing Date shall declare or pay any dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Shares), then, and in each such case, Additional Common Shares shall be deemed to have been issued (a) in the case of any such dividend, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend, or (b) in the case of any such subdivision, at the close of business on the day immediately prior to the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.

2.5 Computation of Consideration. For the purposes of this Section 2:

(a) the consideration for the issue or sale of any Additional Common Shares shall, irrespective of the accounting treatment of such consideration:

(i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the amount of cash received by the Company net of any expenses paid or incurred by the Company or any commissions or compensations paid or concessions or discounts allowed to underwriters, dealers or others performing similar services in connection with such issue or sale;

(ii) insofar as it consists of property (including securities) other than cash received by the Company, be computed at the fair market value thereof (as determined by the Board of Trustees or a committee of the Board of Trustees) at the time of such issue or sale;

(iii) insofar as it consists neither of cash nor of other property, be computed as having no value; and

(iv) in the event Additional Common Shares are issued or sold together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for

9

a consideration which covers both, be the portion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, allocable to such Additional Common Shares, all as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or a committee of the Board of Trustees;

(b) Additional Common Shares deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration per share determined by dividing:

(i) the total amount of cash and other property, if any, received and receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of the Options or Convertible Securities in question, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration the purpose of which is to protect against dilution) payable to the Company upon the exercise in full of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, in each case computing such consideration as provided in the foregoing clause (a),

by

(ii) the maximum number of Common Shares (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number the purpose of which is to protect against dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities; and

(c) Additional Common Shares deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof shall be deemed to have been issued for no consideration.

2.6 Adjustment for Combinations, etc. In case the outstanding Common Shares shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of Common Shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.

2.7 Minimum Adjustment of Warrant Price. If the amount of any adjustment of the Warrant Price required pursuant to this Section 2 would be less than $0.00001, then such amount shall be carried forward and adjustment shall be made with respect thereto at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate at least $0.00001.

2.8 Shares Deemed Outstanding. For purposes of calculating adjustments (if any) to the Warrant Price upon the issuance, sale or grant of Options or Convertible Securities, there shall be deemed to be outstanding, immediately after giving effect to any such issuance, sale or

10

grant, the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options or conversion of such Convertible Securities. In addition, for purposes of calculating adjustments to the Warrant Price, effect shall be given to all antidilution provisions contained in any then outstanding Options and Convertible Securities which cause an adjustment in the number of Common Shares so issuable thereunder by virtue of the issuance of Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities and any such additional Common Shares so issuable as a result of such antidilution provisions shall be deemed outstanding immediately after giving effect to any such issuance, sale or grant.

2.9 Contest and Appraisal Rights. (a) If the holders of Warrants entitling such holders to purchase a majority of the Warrant Shares subject to purchase upon exercise of Warrants at the time outstanding (the “Required Interest”) shall, for any reason whatsoever, disagree with the Company’s determination of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares (i.e., under circumstances where the VWAP is determined by the Board of Trustees as provided in the definition of the term “VWAP”) or of the fair market value of any property (or securities) given to the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of Additional Common Shares, then such holders shall by notice to the Company (an “Appraisal Notice”) given within thirty (30) days after the Company’s determination elect to dispute such determination, and such dispute shall be resolved as set forth in clause (b) of this Section 2.9.

(b) The Company shall, within thirty (30) days after an Appraisal Notice shall have been given, engage an Appraiser to make an independent determination of the Current Market Price for the Common Shares or of the fair market value of any property (or securities) given to the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of additional Common Shares, as the case may be (the “Appraiser’s Determination”). In arriving at its determination, the Appraiser shall base any valuation upon (i) in the case of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares, the fair market value of the Company assuming that the Company were sold as a going concern, without regard to the existence of any control block, the anticipated impact upon current market prices of any such sale, the lack or depth of a market for the Common Shares, the Warrants or other securities of the Company, or any other factors concerning the liquidity or marketability of the Common Shares, the Warrants or other securities of the Company, and (ii) in the case of the fair market value of any property (or securities) given to the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of Additional Common Shares, the fair market value of such property (or securities) assuming that such property (or securities) were sold to an unaffiliated third party in an arm’s-length transaction. The Appraiser’s Determination shall be final and binding on the Company and the holders of the Warrants. The costs of conducting an appraisal shall be borne by the party whose assertion of the Current Market Price or fair market value was the farthest from the final determination of the Current Market Price or fair market value determined by the Appraiser.

3. CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.

3.1 Adjustments for Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets, Reorganizations, etc. In the event the Company, on or after the Signing Date, (a) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) shall permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, the Common Shares or Other Securities shall be changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or

11

(c) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) shall effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Shares or Other Securities (other than a capital reorganization or reclassification to the extent that such capital reorganization or reclassification results in the issuance of Additional Common Shares for which adjustment in the Warrant Price is provided in Section 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 hereof), then, and in the case of each such transaction, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such transaction, shall be entitled to receive (at the aggregate Warrant Price in effect at the time of such consummation for all Common Shares or Other Securities issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to such consummation), in lieu of the Common Shares or Other Securities issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation, the greatest amount of securities, cash or other property to which such Holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such consummation) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof.

3.2 Assumption of Obligations.

The Holder shall promptly notify the Company of any such sale, assignment or participation grant. The Company may not assign any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Holder.
