We are mailing this Proxy Statement on or about April 5, 2002 to each holder of PREIT's issued and outstanding shares of beneficial interest (the "Shares") entitled to vote at the meeting in order to furnish information relating to the business to be transacted at the meeting. We have mailed our Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, including financial statements, to our shareholders together with this Proxy Statement. We have included the Annual Report for informational purposes and not as a means of soliciting your proxy. We have fixed the close of business on March 20, 2002 as the record date for the Annual Meeting. All shareholders of record at that time are entitled to notice of and are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. On the record date, 15,961,368 Shares were outstanding. VOTING AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES We hope you will be present at the Annual Meeting. If you cannot attend, please complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy in the accompanying envelope so that your Shares will be represented. The envelope is addressed to our transfer agent and requires no postage. If you receive more than one proxy card -- because you have multiple accounts -- you should sign and return all proxies received to be sure all of your Shares are voted. On each matter voted on at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof, each record holder of Shares will be entitled to one vote per Share. Assuming a quorum is present, the two nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast at the meeting will be elected Trustees. In addition, the terms of the 2002-2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan that are being submitted to shareholders for their approval will be approved upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and voting on the proposal. If you mark your proxy as "Withhold Authority" or "Abstain" on any matter, or if you give specific instructions that no vote be cast on any specific matter, the Shares represented by your proxy will not be voted on that matter, but will count towards the establishment of a quorum. You may vote your Shares at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. All valid proxies received before the Annual Meeting will be voted according to their terms. If you complete your proxy properly, but do not provide instructions as to how to vote your Shares, your proxy will be voted "FOR" the election of all Trustees nominated by our Board of Trustees and "FOR" the approval of the terms of the 2002-2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan that are being submitted to shareholders for their approval. If any other business is brought before the Annual Meeting, proxies will be voted, to the extent permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting the proxies. After providing your proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by filing with PREIT's Secretary an instrument revoking it or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and giving notice of revocation. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, constitute revocation of a proxy. We will bear the cost of preparing and soliciting proxies, including the reasonable charges and expenses of brokerage firms or other nominees for forwarding proxy materials to shareholders. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain Trustees, officers and employees of PREIT and its subsidiaries may solicit proxies by telephone, telegraph or personally without extra compensation, with the exception of reimbursement for actual expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation. The enclosed proxy is solicited by and on behalf of our Board of Trustees. 1 PROPOSAL ONE ELECTION OF TRUSTEES The Trustees intend to cause Lee H. Javitch and Jonathan B. Weller, the two Trustees whose terms expire at the Annual Meeting, to be nominated for re- election at the Annual Meeting as Class A Trustees to serve until the Annual Meeting to be held in the spring of 2005 and until their respective successors have been duly elected and have qualified. If either of the foregoing nominees becomes unable to or declines to serve, the persons named in the accompanying proxy shall have discretionary authority to vote for a substitute or substitutes unless the Board of Trustees reduces the number of Trustees to be elected. PREIT's Trust Agreement provides that nominations for election to the office of Trustee at any Annual or Special Meeting of Shareholders shall be made by the Trustees, or by petition in writing delivered to PREIT's Secretary not fewer than thirty-five days before an Annual or Special Meeting of Shareholders signed by the holders of at least two percent of the Shares outstanding on the date of the petition. Nominations not made in accordance with these procedures will not be considered, unless the number of persons properly nominated is fewer than the number of persons to be elected to the office of Trustee at the meeting. In this latter event, nominations for the Trustee positions that would not otherwise be filled may be made at the meeting by any person entitled to vote in the election of Trustees. PREIT's Board of Trustees currently consists of eight members who serve staggered three year terms. The following table presents information concerning the two nominees for the office of Class A Trustee, the six Trustees who will continue in office after the Annual Meeting and PREIT's executive officers, including their ages, principal occupations and the number of Shares beneficially owned by them as of March 22, 2002.

Required Vote Assuming a quorum is present, the two nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be elected Trustees. For this purpose, the withholding of authority to vote or the specific direction not to cast a vote, such as a broker non-vote, will not constitute the casting of a vote in the election of Trustees. Board Recommendation The Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of each of the nominees for Trustee. 7 PROPOSAL TWO THE 2002-2004 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN PREIT's Board of Trustees approved the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust 2002-2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan on July 12, 2001. Participants in the Plan receive awards of Performance Units and Restricted Shares. Performance units are awards providing for a payment to participants -- which may be in cash or a combination of cash and Shares -- if PREIT achieves certain financial targets that are specified in the Plan and described below. Restricted Share awards are Shares that a participant may not sell, assign, transfer or pledge until those Shares have vested. A portion of the Restricted Share awards vest based on PREIT's achievement of financial targets, some of which are specified in the Plan and some of which will be determined by PREIT's Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee. The balance of the Restricted Share awards vest over time subject to the participant's continued employment with PREIT. The Plan as a whole is not subject to shareholder approval. Only the material terms of the financial targets relating to the Performance Units that may be granted under the Plan are being submitted to shareholders for their approval. Consequently, if the material terms of these financial targets are not approved, the Performance Units granted under the Plan will become null and void and no additional Performance Units may be granted. However, the aspects of the Plan involving the Restricted Shares that may be granted will remain in effect. Performance Units The financial targets relating to the Performance Units were established to motivate PREIT's top executive officers and to focus their attention on critical financial indicators that measure PREIT's success. The material terms of the financial targets relating to the Performance Units that are subject to shareholder approval are: o the business criterion on which the financial targets are based; o the employees eligible to be awarded Performance Units based on the achievement of the financial targets; and o the maximum amount of compensation that can be paid to any eligible employee if the financial targets are obtained. PREIT will make payments to participants in respect of their Performance Units if certain financial targets are reached in 2004. The financial targets are based on PREIT's publicly reported per share "funds from operations" for 2004, subject to adjustment to account for certain non-recurring items as described in the Plan. None of the Performance Units will vest if PREIT does not achieve at least $3.12 of funds from operations per share in 2004, one- third will vest if PREIT achieves $3.12 of funds from operations per share in 2004, two-thirds will vest if PREIT achieves $3.18 of funds from operations per share in 2004 and all of the Performance Units will vest if PREIT achieves at least $3.24 of funds from operations per share in 2004. PREIT's Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee, if applicable and in their good faith judgment, will adjust the preceding target levels of funds from operations per share to account for certain material asset sales by PREIT and its subsidiaries or the issuance of a significant amount of Shares by PREIT. The executive officers of PREIT and its subsidiaries who hold the office of Executive Vice President or a higher office are eligible to participate in the Plan. This group currently includes, among others, the four officers named in the table below, who have been allocated Performance Units, and Edward A. Glickman, who has not been allocated any Performance Units. The number of Performance Units that the six participants who have been allocated Performance Units will receive is set forth in the Plan and each Performance Unit is valued at one dollar per unit. In addition to the Performance Units allocated to specific participants by the Plan, 700,000 unallocated Performance Units are available for future issuances under the Plan to any individual in the group of eligible officers whom PREIT's Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee designates to receive Performance Units. Any such additional issuances will occur on or before December 31, 2002. The maximum value of any participant's Performance Unit award is $1,200,000. The following table shows the monetary value and number of Performance Units awarded to each participant listed in the Summary Compensation Table and to all participants as a group. 8 Performance Unit Awards Monetary Value of Number of Name and Principal Position Performance Units Performance Units --------------------------- ----------------- ----------------- Ronald Rubin $1,200,000 1,200,000 Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Trustee Jonathan B. Weller $ 900,000 900,000 President, Chief Operating Officer and Trustee George F. Rubin $ 700,000 700,000 President, PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. and Trustee Joseph F. Coradino $ 600,000 600,000 Executive Vice President -- Retail All current executive officers as a group $4,250,000 4,250,000 All current non-executive Trustees as a group $0 0 All current non-executive officers as a group $0 0 Restricted Share Awards The Restricted Shares issuable under the Plan were awarded on March 22, 2002. The number of Restricted Shares awarded to each participant was determined by dividing the monetary value of his award by the average closing price of PREIT's Shares during the 20 trading days preceding February 15, 2002, which was $23.12. The maximum initial value of any participant's Restricted Share award, based on that calculation, was $600,000, and the maximum number of Restricted Shares awarded to any participant was 25,952. One half of a participant's Restricted Share award is subject to time vesting and the other half is subject to performance-based vesting. So long as a participant remains employed by PREIT, he will vest in one half of his Restricted Share award in three equal installments on each February 15 in 2003, 2004 and 2005. Participants may vest in all or a portion of the other half of their Restricted Share awards in equal installments in 2003, 2004 and 2005, depending on the achievement of certain financial targets in each of those years. Only financial targets with respect to 2002 are set forth in the Plan, and PREIT's Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee, in its sole discretion, will decide whether such targets have been reached. The Committee will also establish the financial targets for 2003 and 2004. PREIT will pay and amount equal to dividends on a current basis, and participants have voting rights, with respect to their non-vested Restricted Shares. 9 The following table shows the monetary value and number of Restricted Share awarded to each participant listed in the Summary Compensation Table and to all participants as a group. Edward A. Glickman, PREIT's Chief Financial Officer, has not been awarded any Restricted Shares under the Plan.

If a participant terminates employment without Good Reason, or PREIT terminates his employment for Cause, then he will forfeit all unvested awards. If a participant is an employee on the date of a Change of Control of PREIT (as defined in the participant's employment agreement), he will vest in all unvested Restricted Shares and Performance Units. If a participant terminates employment prior to a Change of Control for Good Reason, or his employment is terminated as a result of his death or disability or by PREIT without Cause, and the Change of Control occurs in the year of such termination, then he will vest in a prorated portion of his unvested Restricted Shares subject to performance vesting. If a participant terminates employment prior to a Change of Control for Good Reason, or his employment is terminated as a result of his death or disability or by PREIT without Cause, and the Change of Control occurs before the end of 2004, then he will vest in a prorated portion of his unvested Performance Units. Administration and Amendment PREIT's Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee administers the Plan. The Committee has the power to interpret disputed provisions of the Plan and determine all questions concerning awards under the Plan. The Board of Trustees reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Shareholder approval is required for amendments either to modify the material terms of the financial targets for which vesting in the 10 Performance Units are based or that are required to be voted on by shareholders under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, PREIT's chief executive officer may amend the Plan, so long as any such amendment is technical and non-material in nature. * * * The foregoing is a description of the material features of the Plan. You should read the Plan, which is attached as Exhibit A to this proxy statement, for additional information. Required Vote Assuming a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, the material terms of the financial targets relating to the Performance Units will be approved if a majority of the Shares present in person or by proxy and casting a vote on this proposal vote "FOR" the proposal. For purposes of the foregoing, abstentions and broker non-votes shall not be deemed to be votes cast. Board Recommendation The Board of Trustees believes that the proposal to approve the material terms of the financial targets relating to the Performance Units (i.e., the business criterion on which the financial targets are based, the employees eligible to be awarded Performance Units and the maximum amount of compensation that can be paid to any eligible employee if the financial targets are obtained) is in the best interests of PREIT and its shareholders and unanimously recommends a vote FOR approval of such material terms. PROPOSAL THREE OTHER MATTERS PREIT's management knows of no matters other than those stated above to come before the meeting. However, if any other matters should properly come before the meeting, the enclosed proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to these matters. 11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Summary Compensation Table The following table shows information concerning the compensation paid by PREIT for the last three fiscal years to PREIT's Chief Executive Officer and its four other most highly compensated executive officers.

(2) The salary and bonus for Mr. Glickman in 1999 reflect payments made in the fourth quarter of 2000 of $20,000 and $53,700, respectively. Those payments related to Mr. Glickman's services in 1999, and were paid pursuant to Mr. Glickman's amended and restated employment agreement with PREIT which was entered into on November 10, 2000. The restricted stock awarded to Mr. Glickman in 2000 vests in five equal annual installments beginning on January 1, 2000, contingent upon his continued employment on the vesting dates. The amounts shown in the "All Other Compensation" column for Mr. Glickman represent $25,000 in contributions to Mr. Glickman's retirement account for each of 2001, 2000 and 1999; matching contributions under PREIT's 401(k) retirement plan of $5,950 for 2001, $6,800 for 2000 and $7,465 for 1999; and a credit to an account established for Mr. Glickman of $19,200 for each of 2001, 2000 and 1999 related to dividend equivalent rights on a notional 50,000 Shares. The $19,200 for 1999 was paid in the fourth quarter of 2000 pursuant to Mr. Glickman's amended and restated employment agreement, but related to his services in 1999. The amounts credited to such account vest in five equal annual installments beginning on January 1, 2000, contingent on continued employment on those dates. (3) The amounts shown in the "All Other Compensation" column for George Rubin and Joseph Coradino represent matching contributions under PREIT's 401(k) retirement plan. (4) The bonuses for fiscal 2001 were paid on February 15, 2002. (5) The restricted stock vested in full on February 15, 2002. (6) The restricted stock vests in three equal installments on each of March 1, 2001, February 15, 2002 and February 15, 2003, contingent upon continued employment on those dates. PREIT pays an amount equal to dividends on the unvested restricted stock as dividends are declared by PREIT's Board of Trustees on PREIT's outstanding Shares. 12 Employment Agreements Ronald Rubin entered into an employment agreement with PREIT as of April 2, 2002 for an initial term through December 31, 2004 and extending year-to-year thereafter unless either party gives at least 120 days advance written notice that the term is not to be extended. Under the Agreement, Mr. Rubin serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PREIT.

Jonathan B. Weller entered into an employment agreement with PREIT as of March 22, 2002 for an initial term through December 31, 2004 and extending year-to-year thereafter unless either party gives at least 120 days advance written notice that the term is not to be extended.

PREIT also acknowledged a continuing obligation to make payments under existing split dollar insurance agreements for the benefit of Mr. Weller's designated beneficiaries. See footnote (1) to the Summary Compensation Table for PREIT's payments pursuant to these arrangements in 1999, 2000 and 2001. Edward A. Glickman entered into an employment agreement with PREIT on November 10, 2000. The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Glickman is to serve as Chief Financial Officer of PREIT. The term of the employment agreement was made retroactively effective to January 1, 1999 and expires on September 30, 2002. The term is automatically extended for additional two-year periods unless and until either party gives notice of termination at least one year prior to the end of the then current term. Mr. Glickman's base salary for 2001 was $300,000 and his salary increases by at least $25,000 per year every January 1st. The agreement also provides for the payment of a bonus equal to one half of Mr. Glickman's base salary each year, subject to Mr. Glickman's meeting performance goals established by PREIT's compensation committee. Mr. Glickman achieved the performance goals for 2001 and, accordingly, received the full potential bonus payable with respect to 2001. In accordance with the Employment Agreement, PREIT granted Mr. Glickman (i) 25,000 Restricted Shares that vest in five equal annual installments beginning January 1, 2000, (ii) an incentive stock option to purchase 11,210 Shares at $17.94 per Share that vests in two equal annual installments beginning on January 1, 2003, (iii) a nonqualified stock option to purchase 88,790 Shares at $17.94 per Share that vests in five annual installments, 20,000 Shares on November 10, 2000, 20,000 Shares on January 1, 2001, 20,000 Shares on January 1, 2002, 14,395 Shares on January 1, 2003 and 14,395 Shares on January 1, 2004, and (iv) 50,000 dividend equivalent rights that vest in five equal annual installments beginning on January 1, 2000. PREIT has agreed to contribute $25,000 per year to a supplemental executive retirement plan that will accrue interest at the rate of 10% per year, compounded annually, payable to Mr. Glickman within 60 days of the termination of his employment for any reason. George F. Rubin entered into an employment agreement with PREIT Services, LLC as of March 22, 2002 for an initial term through December 31, 2004 and extending year-to-year thereafter unless either party gives at least 120 days advance written notice that the term is not to be extended. The obligations of PREIT Services under the agreement are guaranteed by PREIT. Under the Agreement, Mr. Rubin serves as President of PREIT Services. He is entitled to a base salary under the agreement of $290,000 for 2002, which may be increased in subsequent years at the discretion of PREIT's Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee. In accordance with the agreement, Mr. Rubin is eligible for a bonus of up to $232,000 for 2002 and he received $700,000 worth of Performance Units and 14,273 Restricted Shares subject to the terms of PREIT's 2002-2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan. PREIT Services has agreed to contribute $25,000 per year to a supplemental 13 executive retirement plan that will accrue interest at the rate of 10% per year, compounded annually, payable to Mr. Rubin within 60 days of the termination of his employment for any reason. Joseph F. Coradino entered into an employment agreement with PREIT Services, LLC as of March 22, 2002 for an initial term through December 31, 2004 and extending year-to-year thereafter unless either party gives at least 120 days advance written notice that the term is not to be extended. The obligations of PREIT Services under the agreement are guaranteed by PREIT. Under the Agreement, Mr. Coradino serves as Executive Vice President -- Retail both of PREIT Services and of PREIT. He is entitled to a base salary under the agreement of $280,000 for 2002, which may be increased in subsequent years at the discretion of PREIT's Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee. In accordance with the agreement, Mr. Coradino is eligible for a bonus of up to $196,000 for 2002 and he received $600,000 worth of Performance Units and 13,625 Restricted Shares subject to the terms of PREIT's 2002-2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan. PREIT Services has agreed to contribute $25,000 per year to a supplemental executive retirement plan that will accrue interest at the rate of 10% per year, compounded annually, payable to Mr. Coradino within 60 days of the termination of his employment for any reason. The employment agreements described above contain provisions addressing the consequences of a termination of each executive's employment. With respect to each executive other than Mr. Glickman, if PREIT or PREIT Services terminates the executive's employment without specified cause, or if the executive terminates his employment for specified good reason (including the delivery by PREIT or PREIT Services of notice that the term of the agreement will not be renewed), the executive is entitled to a lump-sum severance payment equal to the greater of (a) his base salary through the end of the term plus a portion of the executive's average bonus for the last three years prorated through the date of termination, or (b) a multiple of the sum of the executive's then current salary plus a portion of the executive's average bonus for the last three years prorated through the date of termination. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the phrase "average bonus for the last three years" means the average percentage of the executive's salary represented by his annual bonus paid in each of the prior three years, multiplied by his then current salary. For Ronald Rubin, the multiple related to part (b) above is three, for Jonathan Weller, the multiple is two and one-half, for George Rubin, the multiple is two and one-half and for Joseph Coradino, the multiple is two. If such a termination occurs within a specified amount of time following a change of control of PREIT, then Jonathan Weller's multiple is increased to three. In the same circumstances, without regard to whether the termination is preceded by a change of control, Mr. Glickman is entitled to three times the sum of his then current salary plus the average of his annual bonus over the last three years. Additionally, Mr. Glickman is entitled to terminate his employment for good reason if Ronald Rubin ceases to be the PREIT's Chief Executive Officer for any reason. If the executive dies or becomes disabled during the term of his employment agreement, the executive or his estate is entitled to continue to receive his then current salary for the longer of the remainder of the term or one year (two years with respect to Edward Glickman and three years with respect to Ronald Rubin), and to receive a prorated portion of any bonus payable with respect to established performance goals that the company achieves in the year of the executive's disability or death. Additionally, the employment agreements provide that if PREIT terminates any of the executives without cause, if the executive terminates his employment for good reason or if the executive dies or becomes disabled: o the executive's Restricted Shares and options (and, with respect to Mr. Glickman, dividend equivalent rights) immediately become vested; and o the executive -- in some cases including his dependents -- is entitled to continuing medical benefits for a specified number of days. As to Ronald Rubin, Jonathan Weller and Edward Glickman, the employment agreements provide that, in the event any payments to such executives result in the imposition on them of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, PREIT will pay to such executive an additional amount equal to one half of the excise tax. 14 Stock Options The following table presents information as to the exercise of options to purchase Shares and the fiscal year-end value of unexercised options for all of the persons named in the Summary Compensation Table. None of the persons named in the Summary Compensation Table were granted options during fiscal 2001. Aggregate Option Exercises in Fiscal 2001 and December 31, 2001 Option Values Number of Unexercised Value of Unexercised Shares Options at In-the-Money Options at Acquired December 31, 2001 December 31, 2001(1) On Value --------------------------- --------------------------- Name Exercise Realized Exercisable Unexercisable Exercisable Unexercisable --------------------------------------------- -------- -------- ----------- ------------- ----------- ------------- Ronald Rubin ................................. -- -- 112,500 37,500 -- -- Jonathan B.

Coradino ........................... -- -- 22,500 7,500 -- -- --------------- (1) In-the-money options are those where the fair market value of the underlying securities exceeds the exercise price of the option. The closing price of the Shares on December 31, 2001 was $23.20 per Share. Stock Option Plans Under PREIT's 1990 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Trustees (the "Trustee Option Plan"), PREIT is authorized to issue to its Trustees who are not employees of PREIT or any of its affiliates nonqualified stock options to purchase up to 100,000 Shares. Options to purchase 88,000 Shares have been issued under the Trustee Option Plan, 28,125 of which have been exercised and 7,500 have expired without being exercised. The Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee administers the Trustee Option Plan. The exercise price per Share of options granted under the Trustee Option Plan must equal 100% of the fair market value of the Shares underlying the options on the grant date and the options generally expire 10 years from the grant date unless extended in the Compensation Committee's discretion. The Trustee Option Plan was amended in 2001 to cease the automatic annual grant in January of each year to each non-employee Trustee of an option for 2,500 Shares. The Trustee Option Plan continues to provide for an automatic grant of an option for 5,000 Shares to newly elected non-employee Trustees. Option grants may not be made after January 31, 2004, unless the plan is extended. Additional options may be granted under the Trustee Option Plan to purchase a maximum of 19,500 Shares. PREIT's Restricted Share Plan for Non-Employee Trustees, adopted in 2002, authorizes PREIT to issue to its Trustees who are not employees of PREIT or any of its affiliates up to 50,000 Restricted Shares. The plan provides for the automatic grant of 1,000 shares to each non-employee Trustee on January 31 of each year, and 5,000 Restricted Shares have been granted under the plan. The Restricted Shares vest in three approximately equal annual installments so long as the recipient remains a Trustee of PREIT. The plan is administered by the Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee. Under PREIT's 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1999 Plan"), PREIT has granted incentive stock options, designed to qualify under Section 422 of the Code, and nonqualified stock options to purchase 100,000 Shares to the officers and other key employees of PREIT and PREIT-RUBIN and their subsidiary entities. The Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee administers the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan requires that the exercise price of options granted under the plan not be less than the fair market value of the Shares underlying the options on the grant date and the term of each option granted may not exceed 10 years. Additionally, the 1999 Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance stock, dividend equivalent rights and/or loans to the officers and other key employees of PREIT and PREIT-RUBIN and their subsidiary entities. PREIT has awarded 272,314 shares of restricted stock and 50,000 dividend equivalent rights under the 1999 Plan. In addition to 400,000 Shares that may be granted under the 1999 Plan, Shares that are subject to 15 options under PREIT's 1990 Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, 1997 Stock Option Plan and 1998 Stock Option Plan that expire or otherwise terminate automatically will also be made available for awards under the 1999 Plan. As of March 23, 2002, an additional 209,561 Shares were available for awards under the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan also covers the grant of restricted stock under the 2002-2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Transactions with Management On September 30, 1997, PREIT consummated a series of related transactions (the "TRO Transaction") in which PREIT, among other things: (i) formed a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), of which PREIT is the sole general partner; (ii) transferred to the Operating Partnership PREIT's interests in its real property assets, or the economic benefits thereof; (iii) caused the Operating Partnership to acquire all of the issued and outstanding non-voting common shares of The Rubin Organization, Inc. ("TRO") (renamed PREIT-RUBIN, Inc.), a commercial real estate development and management firm, representing 95% of the total equity of TRO, in exchange for 200,000 Class A units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("Class A OP Units") and a contingent obligation to issue up to 800,000 additional Class A OP Units over a five year period based on the levels of PREIT's funds from operations ("FFO") per share during such period; (iv) caused the Operating Partnership to acquire, or to become obligated to acquire, in exchange for additional Class A OP Units, the interests of certain affiliates of TRO ("TRO Affiliates"), or their rights or obligations to acquire interests, in three existing shopping centers or portions thereof, and in two shopping centers then under construction (the "Development Properties"); (v) caused the Operating Partnership to acquire the pre- development rights, subject to the obligations of certain TRO Affiliates, in certain additional proposed shopping centers (the "Predevelopment Properties"); (vi) implemented, directly or indirectly, employment agreements with ten members of TRO management, including Ronald Rubin, who became PREIT's Chief Executive Officer and has since become its Chairman as well, George F. Rubin, who continued as President of PREIT-RUBIN, Edward Glickman, who became PREIT's Chief Financial Officer, Joseph F. Coradino, who has since become PREIT's Executive Vice President -- Retail Division, Douglas S. Grayson, who has since become PREIT's Executive Vice President -- Development, and David J. Bryant, who has since become PREIT's Senior Vice President -- Finance and Treasurer; and (vii) elected three designees of TRO, Ronald Rubin, George F. Rubin and Rosemarie B. Greco, as Trustees of PREIT. The Class A OP Units referred to above are redeemable by the Operating Partnership, at the option of the holder, beginning one year following the dates of their respective issuance for an amount per unit equal to the average closing price of a Share on the twenty trading days immediately before the date notice of redemption is received by PREIT in its capacity as general partner of the Operating Partnership. PREIT has the right to acquire any Class A OP Units tendered for redemption for (i) cash, or (ii) Shares, on the basis of one Share for each Class A OP Unit, subject to adjustments for share splits and other capital changes. Redeeming holders of Class A OP Units who receive Shares from PREIT will have certain rights to cause PREIT to register such Shares for resale under the federal securities laws. During the five-year period following the completion of the TRO Transaction, Ronald Rubin, George F. Rubin, Edward Glickman, Joseph F. Coradino, Douglas S. Grayson and David J. Bryant are each prohibited from reselling more than one-half of the Shares to which he would be entitled upon redemption of Class A OP Units, so long as he continues to hold an executive position with PREIT or PREIT-RUBIN. In the TRO Transaction, in exchange for their direct and indirect interests in TRO and certain affiliated entities: (i) Ronald Rubin received, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership of 144,359 Class A OP Units; (ii) George F. Rubin received, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership of 86,462 Class A OP Units; (iii) Edward Glickman received beneficial ownership of 13,633 Class A OP Units; (iv) Joseph F. Coradino received beneficial ownership of 28,691 Class A OP Units; (v) Douglas S. Grayson received beneficial ownership of 5,968 Class A OP Units; and (vi) David J. Bryant received beneficial ownership of 1,639 Class A OP Units. The amounts shown above for each of Ronald Rubin and George F. Rubin include 12,167 Class A OP Units held by a trust of which both are beneficiaries. As stated above, the TRO Transaction also entitled the TRO Affiliates to receive up to 800,000 additional Class A OP Units based on PREIT's FFO for the five year period beginning September 30, 1997. In 1998, and again in 2002 with respect to 2001 only, these "hurdle" and "target" FFO levels were adjusted by a special committee of PREIT's Trustees to account for the dilutive effects of public offerings of PREIT's shares that 16 occurred in 1997 and 2001. For the period beginning September 30, 1997 and ending December 31, 1999, the Operating Partnership issued 330,000 Class A OP Units to the TRO Affiliates. On April 9, 2001, the Operating Partnership issued 167,500 Class A OP Units attributable to the period from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2000. As part of this issuance: (i) Ronald Rubin received beneficial ownership of 66,159 Class A OP Units; (ii) George F. Rubin received beneficial ownership of 30,210 Class A OP Units; (iii) Edward Glickman received beneficial ownership of 7,553 Class A OP Units; (iv) Joseph F. Coradino received beneficial ownership of 12,273 Class A OP Units; (v) Douglas S. Grayson received beneficial ownership of 3,776 Class A OP Units; and (vi) David J. Bryant received beneficial ownership of 944 Class A OP Units. For the period from January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001, the TRO Affiliates earned 167,500 Class A OP Units. These Units have not yet been issued, but, collectively, Ronald Rubin, George F. Rubin, Edward Glickman, Joseph F. Coradino, Douglas S. Grayson and David J. Bryant are expected to receive a significant portion of these Units upon issuance. As of December 31, 2001, the TRO Affiliates were eligible to receive the remaining 135,000 Class A OP Units for the period from January 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002, depending on PREIT's FFO during that period. The TRO Affiliates also are eligible to receive additional Class A OP Units in respect of PREIT's payment for the Development and Predevelopment Properties, all in accordance with the valuation and payment provisions of the applicable agreements. No Class A OP Units were issued to the TRO Affiliates during 2001 in respect of the Development and Predevelopment Properties. PREIT anticipates that holders of Class A OP Units will receive distributions at the approximate times, and in the same amounts, as PREIT pays dividends to its Shareholders. Certain of the Class A OP Units issued in the TRO transaction are subject to pledges in favor of the Operating Partnership until certain obligations of TRO are satisfied. The amount of consideration PREIT pays and the manner in which it would be paid was approved by a Special Acquisition Committee of the Board of Trustees and by the Board of Trustees. The Board received an opinion from Lehman Brothers that the consideration to be paid was fair from a financial point of view, and PREIT's Shareholders approved PREIT's completion of the TRO Transaction at a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on September 29, 1997. The Board of Trustees has established a committee currently consisting of Leonard I. Korman, Chair and Rosemarie B. Greco for the purpose of addressing and resolving any matters pertaining to the TRO Transaction as they arise on an on-going basis. In connection with the monitoring of the TRO Transaction, the committee determined to lower the financial performance benchmarks established for the payment of additional Class A OP Units due to the dilutive effect of PREIT's December 1997 public offering of 4,600,000 Shares and PREIT's July 2001 public offering of 2,000,000 Shares. PREIT-RUBIN provides real estate management and other services to 18 properties in which Ronald Rubin and/or other TRO Affiliates have direct or indirect interests. Total revenues earned by PREIT-RUBIN for such services were approximately $2,900,000 for the calendar year ended December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, approximately $300,000 was due from these affiliates. Of this amount, approximately $200,000 was collected subsequent to December 31, 2001. The remaining approximately $100,000 is due in installments to be paid through 2010, plus interest where applicable. PREIT and PREIT-RUBIN lease one property from an entity in which Ronald Rubin and George F. Rubin have indirect interests. The lease term currently is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2009. In 2001, PREIT and PREIT-RUBIN paid approximately $277,000 on this lease. Ronald Rubin and George F. Rubin, collectively with members of their immediate family, own less than a 16.66% interest in the entity that leases the property to PREIT-RUBIN. 17 Board Matters PREIT has a standing Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee, a standing Audit Committee and a standing Property Committee. PREIT does not have a standing nominating committee. The Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee, which is currently comprised of Leonard I. Korman, Chair, Rosemarie B. Greco and Lee H. Javitch, met three times during fiscal 2001. The principal duties of the Compensation Committee are to recommend compensation arrangements for PREIT's executive officers and to administer PREIT's stock option and equity incentive plans. The Audit Committee, which is currently comprised of Rosemarie B. Greco, Chair, Lee H. Javitch and Ira Lubert, met five times during fiscal 2001. The principal duties of the Audit Committee are to recommend independent public accountants for appointment by PREIT; to review with management and the independent accountants PREIT's annual financial statements and related footnotes; to review PREIT's internal audit activities; to review with the independent accountants the planned scope and results of the annual audit and their reports and recommendations; and to review with the independent accountants matters relating to PREIT's system of internal controls. In addition to the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee, PREIT has a standing Property Committee. The Property Committee, which is currently comprised of Ronald Rubin, Chair, Leonard I. Korman, Ira Lubert and Jeffrey P. Orleans, met three times in fiscal 2001. The principal duties of the Property Committee are to review acquisitions and dispositions of portfolio properties proposed by management and make recommendations thereon to the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has constituted a Special Committee, consisting of Leonard I. Korman, Chair, and Rosemarie B. Greco to review on an on-going basis any issues which may arise in the implementation of the TRO Transaction. The Special Committee met once in fiscal 2001. The Board of Trustees met seven times in fiscal 2001. Trustees who are not officers of PREIT receive an annual retainer of $15,000, plus $1,000 per Board of Trustees meeting and committee meeting attended ($1,500 for a committee chair) and $500 for telephonic meetings. With the exception of Jeffrey P. Orleans, all of the Trustees attended at least 75% of Board and applicable committee meetings in fiscal 2001. Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires PREIT's executive officers and Trustees and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of PREIT's equity securities (collectively, the "reporting persons") to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to furnish PREIT with copies of these reports. Based on PREIT's review of the copies of the reports it has received, and written representations received from certain reporting persons with respect to the filing of reports on Form 3, 4 and 5, PREIT believes that all filings required to be made by the reporting persons for fiscal 2001 were made on a timely basis, except that Raymond J. Trost was late in reporting that he became a reporting person in May of 2001 and Jeffrey A. Linn was late in reporting the retirement of 707 of his Restricted Shares in March of 2001. In addition, Ronald Rubin was late in reporting the acquisition of 6,000 Shares in March of 2000 by a trust of which he is a trustee. Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation During fiscal 2001, the late Sylvan M. Cohen, while serving as PREIT's Chairman, served on the Compensation Committee of Orleans Homebuilders, Inc, and the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Orleans Homebuilders, Inc., Jeffrey P. Orleans, served as a Trustee of PREIT. 18 Report of Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee on Executive Compensation Compensation for PREIT's executive officers is the responsibility of the entire Board of Trustees acting upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for administering the policies that govern PREIT's stock option and equity incentive plans. The Compensation Committee consists of three of PREIT's non-employee Trustees. The Board of Trustees believes that PREIT's investment goal is to invest in assets that provide the opportunity for cash flow growth and capital appreciation. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees believes that PREIT's overall performance in any year should be based on PREIT's performance in all aspects of PREIT's business during that year, including development, management, acquisition and capital structure, as well as financial accomplishments. The Compensation Committee further believes that, as a result of the nature of PREIT's business, funds from operations is a better measurement of PREIT's performance than its reported net income. This standard has been adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. The members of the Compensation Committee believe that PREIT's success is largely due to the efforts of its employees and, in particular, the leadership exercised by its officers. Therefore, the Compensation Committee believes it is important to: o Adopt compensation programs that enhance PREIT's ability to attract and retain qualified officers while providing the financial motivation necessary for PREIT to achieve continued high levels of performance. o Provide equity-based incentives for executives to ensure that they are motivated over the long term to respond to PREIT's challenges and opportunities as owners rather than only employees. o Provide a mix of cash and stock-based compensation programs that are competitive with a select group of real estate investment trusts that the members of the Compensation Committee believe are comparable to PREIT. Each executive officer's salary, including that of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer, is based on his employment contract and the competitive market for the executive officer's services, considering the executive's specific responsibilities, experience and overall performance. The Compensation Committee reviews each executive officer's salary and adjusts the salary to account for inflation, any change in the executive's responsibilities and any change in the competitive marketplace. The Compensation Committee, in its discretion, periodically awards restricted stock, stock options or other stock-based compensation to executive officers. These awards are based on the performance of the individual executive, PREIT's financial results and the executive officer's accomplishments in his area of responsibility. The Committee believes that restricted stock awards and cash bonuses based on PREIT's financial performance are important elements in PREIT's compensation structure because these awards promote alignment of the interests of the employees with the interests of the shareholders.

Javitch 19 Performance Graph The graph below compares PREIT's cumulative shareholder return with the cumulative total return of the S&P 500 and the index of all equity real estate investment trusts (excluding health care real estate investment trusts) as prepared by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. Equity real estate investment trusts are defined as those which derive more than 75% of their income from equity investments in real estate assets. The graph assumes that the value of the investment in each of the three was $100 at August 31, 1996 and that all dividends were reinvested.

A copy of the charter is attached as Appendix A to the proxy statement for PREIT's 2001 annual meeting. In accordance with the charter, PREIT's Board of Trustees has determined that all of the members of the audit committee are independent and financially literate and at least one member has accounting or related financial management expertise. The following is the report of the audit committee with respect to PREIT's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, which include the consolidated balance sheets of PREIT as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, and the notes thereto. The information contained in this report is not "soliciting material," nor is it "filed" with the SEC, nor shall the information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that PREIT specifically incorporates it by reference in a filing. The audit committee has reviewed and discussed PREIT's audited financial statements with management. The audit committee has discussed with Arthur Andersen LLP, PREIT's independent accountants, the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Communications with Audit Committees), which include, among other items, matters related to the conduct of the audit of PREIT's financial statements. The audit committee has also received written disclosures and the letter from Arthur Andersen LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, which relates to the accountants' independence from PREIT and its related entities, and has discussed with Arthur Andersen LLP their independence from PREIT. Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the committee recommended to PREIT's Board that PREIT's audited financial statements be included in PREIT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. SUBMITTED BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Rosemarie B. Greco, Chairperson Lee H. Javitch Ira Lubert 21 Additional Information Regarding Our Independent Public Accountants Audit Fees The aggregate fees charged to PREIT by Arthur Andersen LLP for its audit of our 2001 financial statements and for its review of PREIT's financial statements included in PREIT's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for 2001 were approximately $170,000. All Other Fees The aggregate fees charged to PREIT by Arthur Andersen LLP for all other services for 2001 were approximately $340,250. Of this amount, approximately $102,250 was for audit-related activities, including assurance services for certain properties with stand-alone reporting requirements, assistance with registration statements, comfort letters and consents. The remaining amount of approximately $238,000 was for tax compliance and tax consulting services. The audit committee has considered the nature of the above-listed services provided by Arthur Andersen LLP and determined that those services are compatible with its provision of independent audit services. Arthur Andersen LLP has been PREIT's principal independent public accounting firm for more than 30 years. The audit committee currently is monitoring circumstances affecting Arthur Andersen LLP and has not made a decision with respect to the selection of the principal auditors for PREIT's fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. Representatives of Arthur Andersen LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and available to respond to appropriate questions, and will be given an opportunity to make a statement, if they so desire. Principal Security Holders After examining its own records and those of the Securities and Exchange Commission, PREIT does not know of any individual or entity that beneficially owns more than 5% of PREIT's Shares. Shareholders' Proposals Under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, certain shareholder proposals may be included in PREIT's proxy statement. Any shareholder desiring to have such a proposal included in PREIT's proxy statement for the Annual Meeting to be held in 2003 must deliver a proposal in full compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to PREIT's executive offices by December 7, 2002. Where a shareholder does not seek inclusion of a proposal in the proxy material and submits a proposal outside of the process described in Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the proposal must be received by February 20, 2003, or it will be deemed "untimely" for purposes of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act and, therefore, the proxies will have the right to exercise discretionary authority with respect to such proposal. PREIT has not received any such proposal to be submitted from the floor at the upcoming meeting. By Order of the Board of Trustees Jeffrey A.

Each Participant listed in Appendix C attached hereto shall be granted the number of Performance Units that equals the value of the Performance Unit Award set forth next to his name in such Appendix.

Vesting of Awards; Vesting and Dividend Rights on Restricted Shares (a) Restricted Shares. One-half of a Participant's Restricted Shares shall be subject to time vesting and one-half of the Restricted Shares shall be subject to performance vesting. (1) Time Vesting. Each Participant shall vest in (i.e, have the right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber or dispose of) one-third of his Restricted Shares that are subject to time vesting on and after the first February 15 after each of the Performance Periods. (2) Performance Vesting. Each Participant shall vest in (i.e, have the right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber or dispose of) one-third of his Restricted Shares that are subject to performance vesting upon the Committee's written determination that the Trust has attained the highest Corporate Goal set forth in Appendix A attached hereto (for 2002) or hereafter set by the Committee (for 2003 and 2004). If the Trust attains less than the lowest Corporate Goal for the Performance Period, one-third of the Participant's Restricted Shares subject to performance vesting shall be forfeited. If the Trust attains at least the lowest Corporate Goal but less than the highest Corporate Goal for a Performance Period, the Participant shall vest in the percentage of one-third of his Restricted Shares subject to performance vesting as set forth in Appendix A (for 2002) or decided by the Committee (for 2003 and 2004). Appendix A attached hereto states the various Corporate Goals and the resulting vesting for the 2002 Performance Period only. The Committee shall determine for the 2003 and 2004 Performance Periods the various Corporate Goals and the resulting vesting for each of those Performance Periods. (3) Voting and Dividend Rights. A Participant shall have voting rights on nonvested Restricted Shares (both those that are subject to time vesting and those that are subject to performance vesting) and receive as compensation (subject to the withholding of applicable taxes) an amount equal to the dividends that otherwise would have been payable to the Participant had the Participant been vested in such Restricted Shares on the date of their original issuance. (b) Performance Units. Each Participant shall have the right to receive a cash (or cash and up to 50 percent in Shares, as determined by the Committee) payment equal to the value of the Participant's Performance Units following the Committee's written determination that the Trust has attained FFO of at least $3.24/Share for 2004. Such payment shall be made within the 90-day period after such determination. If the Trust attains FFO of less than $3.12/ Share for 2004, all of the Participant's Performance Units shall be forfeited. If the Trust attains FFO of less than $3.24/Share for 2004 but at least $3.12/ Share, the Participant's payment shall equal the value of his Performance Units times the applicable percentage set forth in Appendix B attached hereto. (c) Committee Determination. Within 90 days of the end of each Performance Period, the Committee shall provide each Participant with a written determination of whether the Trust has or has not attained any of the Corporate Goals for such Performance Period and the calculations used to make such determination. Within 90 days of the end of the 2004 Performance Period, the Committee shall provide each Participant with a written determination of whether the Trust did or did not attain any of the FFO Goals for 2004. 5. Termination of Employment for Good Reason, Death, Disability, or Not for Cause. If a Participant ceases to be an employee of the Trust or the Company for Good Reason, death, or Disability, or if the Participant is terminated by the Trust or the Company but not for Cause, as the case may be, the following shall apply: (a) Restricted Shares (1) Time-Vested Shares. All Restricted Shares subject to time vesting that were not vested prior to the Participant's termination of employment shall immediately vest upon such termination. 3 (2) Performance-Based Shares. A portion of the Restricted Shares subject to performance vesting for the Performance Period in which the Participant's termination of employment occurs shall vest to the extent (as described in Section 4(a)(2)) the Trust achieves the Corporate Goals applicable to such Performance Period. Such portion shall equal the product of the number of such Restricted Shares subject to such Performance Period (i) multiplied by the applicable percentage determined pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) for such Performance Period and then (ii) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in such Performance Period prior to the Participant's termination of employment and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Performance Period. The Participant shall not vest in any Restricted Shares for any Performance Period following the Performance Period in which occurs his termination of employment. If the Participant was an employee of the Trust or the Company on the last day of the Performance Period preceding the Performance Period in which his termination of employment occurs but not on the date on which full or partial vesting (or forfeiture) occurs (i.e., the date on which the Committee determines that the Trust has (or has not) attained the Corporate Goals for the preceding Performance Period), he shall become vested in (or forfeit) the same number of Restricted Shares as he would have had his employment continued until such determination is made. (b) Performance Units. If the Participant's termination of employment occurs prior to December 31, 2004, then the Participant's Performance Units shall vest (if at all) and be paid to the extent they would have vested and been paid under Section 4(b) if the Participant had remained an employee of the Trust or the Company until the date on which the Committee determines that the Trust has (or has not) attained any of the FFO Goals for 2004. 6. Termination for Cause or Not for Good Reason. If a Participant terminates his employment not for Good Reason or is terminated by the Trust or the Company for Cause, all unvested Awards shall be immediately forfeited. 7. Change in Control (a) Restricted Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, all outstanding Restricted Shares previously awarded to a Participant (both time-based and performance-based) shall become fully vested upon a Change in Control if the Participant is an employee of the Trust or the Company on the date of the Change in Control. If (i) the Participant terminated employment before the date of the Change in Control for Good Reason, death, or Disability, or was terminated before such date by the Trust or the Company but not for Cause (and thus became vested in his time-based Restricted Shares under Section 5(a)(1)), and (ii) the Change in Control occurs on or before the end of the Performance Period in which the Participant's termination of employment occurs, a portion of the Participant's Restricted Shares subject to performance vesting for such Performance Period shall immediately vest upon such Change in Control. Such portion shall equal the product of the number of such Restricted Shares subject to such Performance Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in such Performance Period prior to the Participant's termination of employment and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Performance Period ending with the date of the Change in Control. The Participant shall not vest in any Restricted Shares for any Performance Period following the Performance Period in which occurs his termination of employment. (b) Performance Units. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, all Performance Units awarded to a Participant shall become fully vested upon a Change in Control if the Participant is an employee of the Trust or the Company on the date of the Change in Control and shall be paid to the Participant within the 90-day period after the Change in Control. If (i) the Participant terminated employment before the date of the Change in Control for Good Reason, death, or Disability, or was terminated before such date by the Trust or the Company but not for Cause, and (ii) the Change in Control occurs on or before the end of 2004, a portion of the Participant's Performance Units shall immediately vest upon such Change in Control and shall be paid to the Participant within the 90-day period after the Change in Control. Such portion shall equal the product of the number of such Performance Units multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days on and after the Effective Date prior to the Participant's termination of employment and the denominator of which is the number of days commencing on the Effective Date and ending with the date of the Change in Control. 4 8. Beneficiary Designation (a) Each Participant shall designate the person or persons as his beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom his Performance Units shall be paid in the event of his death prior to the payment of the Performance Units to him. Each beneficiary designation shall be substantially in the form set forth in Appendix D attached hereto and shall be effective only when filed with the Committee during the Participant's lifetime. (b) Any beneficiary designation may be changed by a Participant without the consent of any previously designated beneficiary or any other person by the filing of a new beneficiary designation with the Committee. The filing of a new beneficiary designation shall cancel all beneficiary designations previously filed. (c) If any Participant fails to designate a beneficiary in the manner provided above, or if the beneficiary designated by a Participant predeceases the Participant, the Committee shall direct such Participant's Performance Units to be distributed as follows: (1) to the Participant's surviving spouse; or (2) if the Participant has no surviving spouse, then to the Participant's estate. 9. Payment to Guardian. If an amount is payable under this Plan to a minor, a person declared incompetent, or a person incapable of handling the disposition of property, the Committee may direct the payment of the amount to the guardian, legal representative, or person having the care and custody of the minor, incompetent, or incapable person. The Committee may require proof of incompetency, minority, incapacity, or guardianship as the Committee may deem appropriate prior to the payment. The payment shall completely discharge the Committee, the Trustees, the Trust, and the Company from all liability with respect to the amount paid. 10. Withholding; Payroll Taxes. The Employer shall withhold from payments made under the Plan any taxes required to be withheld from a Participant's compensation for Federal, state, or local income tax. 11. Source of Funds and Shares. This Plan shall be unfunded, and the payment of Performance Units hereunder shall be made from the general assets of the Employer. Each Participant and beneficiary shall be a general and unsecured creditor of the Employer to the extent of the value of his Performance Units determined hereunder, and the Participant shall have no right, title, or interest in any specific asset that the Employer may set aside, earmark, or identify as for the payment of Performance Units under the Plan. The Employer's obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. If the Committee determines to pay a portion of a Participant's Performance Units in Shares, such Shares shall come from the Equity Incentive Plan or from treasury Shares, as is determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. All Restricted Shares shall come from the Equity Incentive Plan. 12. Administration (a) In General. This Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to: (1) determine the specific Corporate Goals and resulting vesting that are applicable for the 2003 and 2004 Performance Periods and inform each Participant accordingly; (2) designate, on or before December 31, 2002, any additional individual to become a Participant in the Plan and grant Performance Units to him, also on or before December 31, 2002, provided such individual holds the office of Executive Vice President or a higher office; (3) interpret any disputed provision of the Plan; and (4) determine all questions concerning Awards under the Plan. Any remaining dispute with a Participant shall be settled by arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provision in the Participant's Employment Agreement. (b) Records and Reports. The Committee (or its designee) shall keep a record of the Committee's actions and shall maintain all books of account, records, and other data as necessary for the proper administration of the Plan. Such records shall contain all relevant data pertaining to individual Participants and their rights under the 5 Plan. The Committee shall have the duty to carry into effect all rights or benefits provided hereunder to the extent assets of the Employer are properly available therefor. Any Participant shall have access to the books of account, records and other data pertaining to the Plan generally and to such Participant's own rights under the Plan upon written request and during normal business hours; provided, however, that no Participant shall have the right to view data pertaining to any other Participant in the Plan. Upon written request, the Committee shall provide each Participant with an explanation of the Corporate Goals and the calculations used to determine the extent to which they have been attained. (c) Indemnification for Liability. Each Employer shall indemnify the members of the Committee from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses, and liabilities arising from their responsibilities in connection with the Plan, unless the same is determined to be due to their gross negligence or willful misconduct. 13. Nonalienation of Benefits. Except as hereinafter provided with respect to marital disputes, none of the Awards or rights of a Participant or any beneficiary of a Participant shall be subject to the claim of any creditor. In particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such Awards and rights shall be free from attachment, garnishment, or any other legal or equitable process available to any creditor of the Participant or his beneficiary. Neither the Participant nor his beneficiary shall have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any of the payments which he may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under this Plan, except the right to designate a beneficiary to receive death benefits provided hereunder. In cases of marital dispute, the Employer shall observe the terms of the Plan unless and until ordered to do otherwise by a state or federal court. As a condition of participation, a Participant agrees to hold the Employer harmless from any harm that arises out of its obeying the final order of any state or federal court, whether such order effects a judgment of such court or is issued to enforce a judgment or order of another court. 14. Shareholder Approval of FFO Goals. This Plan shall become effective as of January 1, 2002; provided, however, that if the "material terms" (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. 1 1.162-27(e)(4)(i) or any successor thereto) of the FFO Goals are not approved by the shareholders of the Trust, in the manner described in Section 15(b), at the 2002 annual meeting of such shareholders, Performance Units granted hereunder shall be null and void and no additional Performance Units shall be granted hereunder. If the shareholders should decide not to approve the material terms of the FFO Goals, such decision shall have no effect on the award or vesting of Restricted Shares under the Plan. 15. Amendment and Termination (a) Amendment and Termination. The Chief Executive Officer of the Trust (the "CEO") may approve and execute changes of a technical nature to the Plan which do not materially affect the substance thereof and which, in the opinion of the CEO, are necessary and desirable. In addition, the Trustees reserve the right to amend the Plan, by written resolution, at any time and from time to time in any fashion, and to terminate it at will except that the following amendments shall require the approval of shareholders (given in the manner set forth in subsection (b) below) -- (1) a modification of the material terms of the FFO Goals, within the meaning of Treas. Reg. 1 1.162-27(e)(4)(vi) or any successor thereto; and (2) any amendment for which shareholder approval is required under the rules of the exchange or market on which the Shares are listed. (b) Manner of Shareholder Approval. The approval of shareholders must be effected by a majority of the votes cast (including abstentions, to the extent abstentions are counted as voting under applicable state law), in a separate vote of the shareholders. (c) No Adverse Effect. No amendment or termination of the Plan shall adversely affect any Award already granted under the Plan without the consent of the affected Participant(s). 16. No Contract of Employment. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as conferring upon any person the right to be employed by the Employer or to continue in the employ of the Employer. 17. Applicable Law. This Plan shall be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (without reference to the principles of conflict of laws). 6 18. Successors. This Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Trust and the Company and their successors and assigns. The term "successors" as used herein shall include any corporate or other business entity which shall, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, acquire all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Trust or the Company, and the successors of any such corporation or other business entity. 19. Headings. The headings of the Sections of the Plan are for reference only. In the event of a conflict between a heading and the content of a Section, the content of the Section shall control. 20. Number and Gender. Whenever any words used herein are in the singular form or in the masculine form, they shall be construed as though they were also used in the plural form or in the feminine or neuter form in all cases where they would so apply.
