the 5th day of June, 1998, by and between Xxxxx Real Estate Investment Trust,
Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and Xxxxx Investment Securities,

and
WHEREAS, the parties entered into that certain Amended and Restated Warrant
Purchase Agreement dated as of July 1, 1998 (the "Restated Agreement") to amend
and restate the Original Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to further amend the transferability provisions
of the Restated Agreement to better represent the intent and understanding of
the parties; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Warrantholder desire to amend and restate the
Restated Agreement in its entirety in accordance with the terms and provisions
hereof;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, do
hereby agree, and the Restated Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety, as follows:
The Company hereby agrees to issue and sell, and the Warrantholder agrees
to purchase, for the total purchase price of $480, warrants as hereinafter
described (the "Soliciting Dealer Warrants") to purchase up to an aggregate of
600,000 Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8 hereof) of the
Company's common stock, $.0l par value (the "Shares"). The Soliciting Dealer
Warrants are being purchased in connection with a public offering of an
aggregate of 16,500,000 Shares (the "Offering"), pursuant to that certain Dealer
Manager Agreement (the "Dealer Manager Agreement"), dated January 30, 1998
between the Company and the Warrantholder as the Dealer Manager and a
representative of the Soliciting Dealers who may receive warrants.
The issuance of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants shall occur quarterly
commencing 60 days after the date on which Shares are first sold pursuant to the
Offering and such issuances shall be subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement.
In consideration of the foregoing and for the purpose of defining the terms
and provisions of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants and the respective rights and
obligations thereunder, the Company and the Warrantholder, for value received,
hereby agree as follows:
1. FORM AND TRANSFERABILITY OF SOLICITING DEALER WARRANTS.
(A) REGISTRATION. The Soliciting Dealer Warrant(s) shall be numbered and
shall be registered on the books of the Company when issued.
(B) FORM OF SOLICITING DEALER WARRANTS. The text and form of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrant and of the Election to Purchase shall be substantially
as set forth in Exhibit "A" and Exhibit "B" respectively, attached hereto and
incorporated herein. The price per Share (the "Warrant Price") and the number
of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants are subject
to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, all as hereinafter
provided. The Soliciting Dealer Warrants shall be dated as of the date of
signature thereof by the Company either upon initial issuance or upon division,
exchange, substitution or transfer.
(C) TRANSFER. The Soliciting Dealer Warrants shall be transferable only on
the books of the Company maintained at its principal office or that of its
designated transfer agent, if designated, upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by
the Warrantholder or by its duly authorized attorney or representative, or
accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to
transfer. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall execute and
deliver a new Soliciting Dealer Warrant to the person entitled thereto.
Assignments or transfers shall be made pursuant to the form of Assignment
attached as Exhibit "C" hereto.
(D) LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER OF SOLICITING DEALER WARRANT. The Soliciting
Dealer Warrants shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, exchanged or
hypothecated by the Warrantholder for a period of one year following the
effective date of the offering of the Company's shares of common stock, except
to: (i) one or more persons, each of whom on the date of transfer is an officer
and director of a Warrantholder or an officer and director or partner of a
successor to a Warrantholder as provided in clause (iv) of this Subsection (D);
(ii) a partnership or partnerships, all of the partners of which are a
Warrantholder and one or more persons, each of whom on the date of transfer is
an officer and a director of a Warrantholder or an officer and director or
partner of a successor to a Warrantholder; (iii) broker-dealer firms which have
executed, and are not then in default of, the Soliciting Dealer Agreement
regarding the Offering (the "Selling Group") and one or more persons, each of
whom on the date of transfer is an officer and director or partner of a member
of the Selling Group or an officer and director or partner of a successor to a
member of the Selling Group; (iv) a successor to a Warrantholder or a successor
to a member of the Selling Group through merger or consolidation; (v) a
purchaser of all or substantially all of a Warrantholder's or Selling Group
members' assets; or (vi) by will, pursuant to the laws of descent and
distribution, or by operation of law; provided, however, that any securities
transferred pursuant to clauses (i) through (vi) of this Subsection (D) shall
remain subject to the transfer restrictions specified herein for the remainder
of the initially applicable one year time period. The Soliciting Dealer Warrant
may be divided or combined, upon written request to the Company by the
Warrantholder, into a certificate or certificates representing the right to
purchase the same aggregate number of shares.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term "Warrantholder" shall
include any transferee of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant pursuant to this
Subsection (D), and the term "Warrant" shall include any and all Soliciting
Dealer Warrants outstanding pursuant to this
2
Agreement, including those evidenced by a certificate or certificates issued
upon division, exchange, substitution or transfer pursuant to this Agreement.
(E) EXCHANGE OR ASSIGNMENT OF SOLICITING DEALER WARRANT. Any Soliciting
Dealer Warrant certificate may be exchanged without expense for another
certificate or certificates entitling the Warrantholder to purchase a like
aggregate number of Shares as the certificate or certificates surrendered then
entitled such Warrantholder to purchase. Any Warrantholder desiring to exchange
a Soliciting Dealer Warrant certificate shall make such request in writing
delivered to the Company, and shall surrender, properly endorsed, the
certificate evidencing the Soliciting Dealer Warrant to be so exchanged.
Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person entitled thereto
a new Soliciting Dealer Warrant certificate as so requested.
Any Warrantholder desiring to assign a Soliciting Dealer Warrant shall make
such request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender, properly
endorsed, the certificate evidencing the Soliciting Dealer Warrant to be so
assigned, with an instrument of assignment duly executed accompanied by proper
evidence of assignment, succession or authority to transfer, and funds
sufficient to pay any transfer tax, whereupon the Company shall, without charge,
execute and deliver a new Soliciting Dealer Warrant certificate in the name of
the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and the original Soliciting
Dealer Warrant certificate shall promptly be cancelled.
2. TERMS AND EXERCISE OF SOLICITING DEALER WARRANTS.
(A) EXERCISE PERIOD. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the
Warrantholder shall have the right to purchase one Share from the Company at a
price of $12 (120% of the initial public offering price per Share) during the
time period beginning one year from the effective date of the Offering and
ending on the date five years after the effective date of the Offering (the
"Exercise Period"), or if any such date is a day on which banking institutions
are authorized by law to close, then on the next succeeding day which shall not
be such a day, to purchase from the Company up to the number of fully paid and
nonassessable Shares which the Warrantholder may at the time be entitled to
purchase pursuant to the Soliciting Dealer Warrant, a form of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit "A."
(B) METHOD OF EXERCISE. The Soliciting Dealer Warrant shall be exercised
by surrender to the Company, at its principal office in Norcross, Georgia or at
the office of the Company's stock transfer agent, if any, or at such other
address as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder
at the address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company, of
the certificate evidencing the Soliciting Dealer Warrant to be exercised,
together with the form of Election to Purchase, included as Exhibit "B" hereto,
duly completed and signed, and upon payment to the Company of the Warrant Price
(as determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof),
for the number of Shares with respect to which such Soliciting Dealer Warrant is
then exercised together with all taxes applicable upon such exercise. Payment
of the aggregate Warrant Price shall be made in cash or by certified check or
cashier's check, payable to the order of the Company. A Soliciting Dealer
Warrant may not be exercised if the Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrant have not been registered (or be exempt from
registration) in the state of residence of the holder of the
3
Soliciting Dealer Warrant or if a Prospectus required under the laws of such
state cannot be delivered to the buyer on behalf of the Company. In addition,
holders of Soliciting Dealer Warrants may not exercise the Soliciting Dealer
Warrant to the extent such exercise will cause them to exceed the ownership
limits set forth in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended. If any
Soliciting Dealer Warrant has not been exercised by the end of the Exercise
Period, it will terminate and the Warrantholder will have no further rights
thereunder.
(C) PARTIAL EXERCISE. The Soliciting Dealer Warrants shall be exercisable,
at the election of the Warrantholder during the Exercise Period, either in full
or from time to time in part and, in the event that the Soliciting Dealer
Warrant is exercised with respect to less than all of the Shares specified
therein at any time prior to the completion of the Exercise Period, a new
certificate evidencing the remaining Soliciting Dealer Warrants shall be issued
by the Company.
(D) SHARE ISSUANCE UPON EXERCISE. Upon such surrender of the Soliciting
Dealer Warrant certificate and payment of such Warrant Price as aforesaid, the
Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to
the Warrantholder in such name or names as the Warrantholder may designate in
writing, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Shares so
purchased upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant, together with
cash, as provided in Section 9 hereof, with respect to any fractional Shares
otherwise issuable upon such surrender. Such certificate or certificates shall
be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein
shall be deemed to have become a holder of such Shares as of the close of
business on the date of the surrender of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant and
payment of the Warrant Price (as hereinafter defined), notwithstanding that the
certificates representing such Shares shall not actually have been delivered or
that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed.
3. MUTILATED OR MISSING SOLICITING DEALER WARRANT.
In case the certificate or certificates evidencing the Soliciting Dealer
Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall, at the
request of the Warrantholder, issue and deliver in exchange and substitution for
and upon cancellation of the mutilated certificate of certificates, or in lieu
of and in substitution for the certificate or certificates lost, stolen or
destroyed, a new Soliciting Dealer Warrant certificate or certificates of like
tenor and date and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon
receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or
destruction of such Soliciting Dealer Warrant, and of reasonable bond of
indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory in form and amount and at the
applicant's cost.
4. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved
so long as the Soliciting Dealer Warrant remains outstanding, out of its
authorized Common Stock, such number of Shares as shall be subject to purchase
under the Soliciting Dealer Warrant.
4
5. LEGEND ON SOLICITING DEALER WARRANT SHARES.
Each certificate for Shares initially issued upon exercise of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such Shares are
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), shall bear the following
legend:
NO SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THESE SHARES SHALL
BE MADE EXCEPT PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED, OR PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion
of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under the Act of
the securities represented thereby) shall also bear the above legend unless, in
the opinion of such counsel as shall be reasonably approved by the Company, the
securities represented thereby need no longer be subject to such restrictions.
6. PAYMENT OF TAXES.
The Company shall pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable to
the initial issuance of the Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable with respect to any
secondary transfer of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant or the Shares.
7. WARRANT PRICE.
The price per Share at which Shares shall be purchasable on the exercise of
the Soliciting Dealer Warrant shall be $12 (the "Warrant Price").
8. ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.
The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall: (i) pay a dividend in Common Stock or make
a distribution in Common Stock; (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock;
(iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of
Common Stock, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock other
securities of the Company, the number and kind of securities purchasable upon
the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be
adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the number and
kind of securities of the Company which it would have owned or would have been
entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had
the Soliciting Dealer Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening
of such event or any record date with
5
respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Subsection (a) shall
become effective on the effective date of such event retroactive to the record
date, if any, for such event.
(b) No adjustment in the number of securities purchasable hereunder shall
be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least one percent (1%) in the number of securities (calculated to the nearest
full Share thereof) then purchasable upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer
Warrant or, if the Soliciting Dealer Warrant is not then exercisable, the number
of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant on
the first date thereafter that the Soliciting Dealer Warrant becomes
exercisable; provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this
Subsection (b) is not required to be made immediately shall be carried forward
and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
(c) Whenever the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrant is adjusted as herein provided, the Warrant Price
shall be adjusted by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such
adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant immediately prior
to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Shares
so purchasable immediately thereafter.
(d) For the purpose of this Section 8, the term "Common Stock" shall mean:
(i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of the Company at the date
of this Agreement; or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from successive
changes or reclassification of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in
par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value.
In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to
this Section 8, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any shares
of the Company other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other
shares so purchasable upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant and the
Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and
on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to
the Shares contained in this Section 8.
(e) Whenever the number of Shares and/or securities purchasable upon the
exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant or the Warrant Price is adjusted as
herein provided, the Company shall cause to be promptly mailed to the
Warrantholder by first class mail, postage prepaid, notice of such adjustment
setting forth the number of Shares and/or securities purchasable upon the
exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant or the Warrant Price after such
adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the
computation by which such adjustment was made.
(f) In case of any reclassification, capital reclassification, capital
reorganization or other change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or
from no par value to par value, or as a result of an issuance of Common Stock by
way of dividend or other distribution, or of a subdivision or combination of the
Common Stock), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or
into another corporation or entity (other than a merger with a subsidiary in
which merger the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result
in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change in the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
6
Company) as a result of which the holders of the Company's Common Stock become
holders of other shares of securities of the Company or of another corporation
or entity, or such holders receive cash or other assets, or in case of any sale
or conveyance to another corporation of the property, assets or business of the
Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company or such
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the
Warrantholder an agreement that the Warrantholder shall have the right
thereafter upon payment for the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to
such action to purchase upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant the
kind and number of securities and property which it would have owned or have
been entitled to have received after the happening of such reclassification,
capital reorganization, change in the outstanding shares of shares of Common
Stock of the Company, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance had the
Soliciting Dealer Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action.
The agreement referred to in this Subsection (f) shall provide for
adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 8. The provisions of this Subsection
(f) shall similarly apply to successive reclassification, capital
reorganizations, changes in the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company, consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.
(g) Except as provided in this Section 8, no adjustment with respect to
any dividends shall be made during the term of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant or
upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant.
(h) No adjustments shall be made in connection with the public sale and
issuance of the Shares pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement or the sale or
issuance of Shares upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant.
(i) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number or
kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer
Warrant, the Soliciting Dealer Warrant certificate or certificates theretofore
or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price or number or kind of
securities stated in the Soliciting Dealer Warrant initially issuable pursuant
to this Agreement.
9. FRACTIONAL INTEREST.
The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Shares or securities
upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant. If any such fractional
Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 9, be issuable upon the
exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant (or specified portion thereof), the
Company may, at its election, pay an amount in cash equal to the then current
market price multiplied by such fraction. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "current market price" shall mean: (a) if the Shares are traded in the
over-the-counter market and not on the NASDAQ National Market ("NNM") or on any
national securities exchange, the average between the per share closing bid and
asked prices of the Shares for the 30 consecutive trading days immediately
preceding the date in question, as reported by the NNM or an equivalent
generally accepted reporting service; or (b) if the Shares are traded on the NNM
or on a national securities exchange, the average for the 30 consecutive trading
days immediately preceding the date in question of the daily per share closing
prices of the Shares on the NNM or
7
on the principal national stock exchange on which it is listed, as the case may
be. The closing price referred to in clause (b) above shall be the last
reported sales price or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day,
the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices on the NNM or on the
principal national securities exchange on which the Shares are then listed, as
the case may be. If the Shares are not publicly traded, then the "current
market price" shall mean $10 for the first three years following the termination
of the Offering.
10. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER; NOTICES OF WARRANTHOLDER.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or in the Soliciting Dealer Warrant
shall be construed as conferring upon the Warrantholder or its transferee any
rights as a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, including
the right to vote, receive dividends, consent or notices as a stockholder with
respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the
Company or for any other matter.
11. REGISTRATION OF SOLICITING DEALER WARRANTS AND SHARES PURCHASABLE
THEREUNDER.
The Shares purchasable under the Soliciting Dealer Warrants are being
registered as part of the Offering. The Company undertakes to make additional
filings with the Commission to the extent required to keep the Shares registered
through the Exercise Period.
12. INDEMNIFICATION.
In the event of the filing of any registration statement with respect to
the Soliciting Dealer Warrants or the Shares pursuant to Section 11 above, the
Company and the Warrantholder (and/or selling Warrantholder or such holder of
Shares, as the case may be), shall agree to indemnify and hold harmless the
other to the same extent and in the same manner as provided in the Dealer
Manager Agreement.
13. CONTRIBUTION.
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution under the Act in
any case in which: (a) the Warrantholder or any holder of Shares makes a claim
for indemnification pursuant to Section 12 hereof, but it is judicially
determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent
jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last
right to appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case
notwithstanding the fact that the express provisions of Section 12 hereof
provide for indemnification in such case; or (b) contribution under the Act may
be required on the part of the Warrantholder or any holder of Shares, the
Company and the Warrantholder, or such holder of Shares, shall agree to
contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they
may be subject (which shall. for all purposes of this Agreement, including, but
not limited to, all costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys' fees),
in either such case (after contribution from others) on the basis of relative
fault as well as any other relevant equitable considerations in the same manner
as provided by the parties in the Dealer Manager Agreement.

14. NOTICES.

corporation other than the Company, the Warrantholder and, to the extent
expressed, any holder of Shares, any person controlling the Company or the
Warrantholder or any holder of Shares, directors of the Company, nominees for
directors (if any) named in the Prospectus, or officers of the Company who have
signed the registration statement, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be for the sole an exclusive
benefit of the aforementioned parties.
16. SUCCESSORS.
All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of
the parties listed in Section 15 above shall bind and inure to the benefit of
their respective executors, administrators, successors and assigns hereunder;
provided, however, that the rights of the Warrantholder or holder of Shares
shall be assignable only to those persons and entities specified in Section 1,
Subsection (D) thereof, in which event such assignee shall be bound by each of
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
17. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF THE COMPANY.
The Company shall not merge or consolidate with or into any other
corporation or sell all or substantially all of its property to another
corporation, unless it complies with the provisions of Section 8, Subsection (f)
thereof.

made by or on behalf of the parties to this Agreement, all representations,
warranties and agreements made by the parties to this Agreement or pursuant
hereto shall survive.
19. CHOICE OF LAW.
This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by

representations or agreements and all other oral, written or other
communications between them concerning the subject matter of this Agreement.

applicable law, such provision shall be deemed stricken and shall not affect the
enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement.
