Employment and Change-in-Control Agreements
We have entered into an employment agreement with Edward D. Fox, providing for his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement provides for a rolling three year term unless either party gives written notice to the other party at least 90 days prior to the end of a given year that it does not desire to continue to extend the term with a one-year severance component. Thus, although the agreement currently provides for Mr. Fox’s employment until December 31, 2002, unless either party properly notifies the other that it does not wish to extend the term, the term will continue to extend an additional year at the end of each year. The agreement provides for annual compensation of $375,000; a discretionary bonus in an amount to be determined by the Board based on the performance of Mr. Fox and the Company; and a grant of 225,000 shares of restricted stock in 1999, subject to both a time and performance based vesting component, as long term incentive compensation. From the inception of his employment until December 31, 2000, Mr. Fox elected to receive his annual compensation and bonus in restricted stock of the Company on a quarterly basis and based on a price calculated at 85% of the average stock price for the prior calendar quarter. The 225,000 shares of restricted stock granted to Mr. Fox in 1999 as long-term incentive compensation are subject to both a time and performance based vesting component. As the time component is satisfied, the Company refreshes Mr. Fox’s unvested shares of restricted stock by granting him an additional 18,750 shares of restricted stock per calendar quarter to a maximum of 300,000 unvested shares. A maximum of 75,000 shares may vest in a given year subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria as set forth by the Board. The employment agreement also provided for the cancellation of 300,000 stock options issued to Mr. Fox pursuant to his prior employment agreement.
We have entered into an employment agreement with Stuart J.S. Gulland providing for his employment as Chief Operating Officer. The agreement provides for a rolling two year term unless either party gives written notice to the other party at least 90 days prior to the end of a given year that it does not desire to continue to extend the term. Thus, although the agreement currently provides for Mr. Gulland’s employment until December 31, 2003, unless either party properly notifies the other that it does not wish to extend the term, the term will continue to extend an additional year at the end of each year. The agreement provides for an annual salary of $250,000 and an annual bonus in an amount to be determined by the Board of Directors. In addition, pursuant to the employment agreement, the Company granted Mr. Gulland 100,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company in 1999, subject primarily to the achievement of certain performance criteria as set by the
7
Board. The employment agreement also provided for the cancellation of 100,000 stock options issued to Mr. Gulland pursuant to his prior employment agreement.
We have entered into an employment agreement with Joseph F. Paggi, Jr. providing for his employment as Senior Vice President of Assets. The agreement provides for a rolling one year term unless either party gives written notice to the other party at least 60 days prior to the end of a given year that it does not desire to continue to extend the term. Thus, although the agreement currently provides for Mr. Paggi’s employment until July 31, 2002, unless either party properly notifies the other that it does not wish to extend the term, the term will continue to extend an additional year at the end of each year. The agreement provides for an annual salary of $105,000 and an annual bonus in an amount to be determined by the Board of Directors. In consideration of certain changes to the terms of Mr. Paggi’s employment agreement, the Company made a one-time payment of $75,000 to Mr. Paggi.
We have entered into an employment agreement with Edward A. Stokx providing for his employment as Senior Vice President, Finance. The agreement provides for a rolling one year term unless either party gives written notice to the other party at least 90 days prior to the end of a given year that it does not desire to continue to extend the term. Thus, although the agreement currently provides for Mr. Stokx’s employment until December 31, 2002, unless either party properly notifies the other that it does not wish to extend the term, the term will continue to extend an additional year at the end of each year. The agreement provides for an annual salary of $150,000 and an annual bonus in an amount to be determined by the Board of Directors. In addition, pursuant to the employment agreement, the Company granted Mr. Stokx options to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock in 1998 and 100,000 shares of our common stock in 1999, subject to vesting requirements under our Stock Option and Incentive Plan.
The bylaws of the Company provide for indemnification of the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company pursuant to the Maryland General Corporation Law. The Maryland General Corporation Law permits the indemnification of any officer, director, employee or agent of the Company against expenses and liabilities in any action arising out of such person’s activities on behalf of the Company, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or in a manner he had no reasonable cause to believe was unlawful.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Messrs. Andrews (Chairman), Riedman and Barnum currently serve on the Compensation Committee. None of the Compensation Committee members is or has been an officer or employee of the Company and each is an Independent Director. For a description of the background of each of these individuals, see Item 10 “Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant.”
Director Compensation
The Company pays its non-employee directors (the “Independent Directors”) an annual fee of $20,000. In addition, the Company pays the Independent Directors fees of $1,000 for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and $500 for attendance at each committee meeting. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the Company elected to pay the Independent Directors their director fees in stock in lieu of cash. The number of shares paid to each Independent Director was based on the cash fees that would have been paid to such director for such period with the number of shares payable based on 85% of the average stock price during such period of $4.41 per share. Pursuant to this formula, each of directors Barnum, Riedman, Garvey and Andrews were paid 7,078, 7,345, 5,876 and 7,879 shares of our common stock, respectively. Directors Lamb, Ticotin and Wells have each agreed to waive their rights to receive compensation as a Director during this period. Each Independent Director is also reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending meetings (including committee meetings). Directors who also serve as officers of the Company are not paid any director fees. Pursuant to our Stock Option and Incentive Plan, upon initial election to the Board of Directors, each Independent Director of the Company receives an initial grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock having an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, and thereafter on each January 1st during the term of the Stock Option and Incentive Plan, each then serving Independent Director automatically receives a grant of options to purchase 2,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.
