[TO BE USED WITH GRANTEES WITHOUT AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT]
PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
2003 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT
ISSUED UNDER THE
2005-2008 OUTPERFORMANCE PROGRAM
This PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT (the "Award
Agreement"), dated as of the ____ day of __________, 2005, is between
Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, a Pennsylvania business trust (the
"Trust"), and ______________________ (the "Grantee"), a "Key Employee" under the
Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the
"Plan").
WHEREAS, the Plan provides for the award of "Performance
Shares" (as defined in the Plan) to participants following the attainment of a
designated corporate performance goal(s);
WHEREAS, the Trust's Executive Compensation and Human
Resources Committee (the "Committee") established the Pennsylvania Real Estate
Investment Trust 2005-2008 Outperformance Program (the "Program") under the Plan
for specified Key Employees under the Plan;
WHEREAS, the Program designates a corporate performance goal
that must be attained in order for participants in the Program to receive an
award of the opportunity to earn Performance Shares under the Plan;
WHEREAS, the Grantee may defer delivery of his or her
Performance Shares (if earned) until a later date, and if so deferred, the
Grantee will be awarded dividend equivalent rights ("DERs," as defined under the
Plan) with respect to such Performance Shares;
WHEREAS, such DERs will be expressed as a dollar amount, which
will be applied to "purchase" notional shares of the Trust (on which DERs will
also be awarded) and will be settled in actual shares of the Trust (and in cash
to the extent the Grantee's account holds a fractional notional share); and
WHEREAS, the Grantee is one of the specified participants in
the Program, a copy of which is attached hereto;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the legal
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be
legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Potential Award of Performance Shares
(a) The Grantee's percentage interest in the "Bonus Pool" (as
defined under the Program) is __%.
(b) The Trust hereby promises to deliver to the Grantee the
number of Performance Shares that Grantee becomes entitled to under Section 4 of
the Program (if any). Unless the Grantee elects to make a deferral election
pursuant to Section 4(e) of the Program, in which case Performance Shares will
be delivered in accordance with such election, the Performance Shares shall be
delivered on, or as soon as administratively practicable after, February 15,
2009, or in the event of a "Change in Control" (as defined in accordance with
the Program) prior to January 1, 2009, within 30 days of the end of the
"Measurement Period" (as defined in the Program) (the "Delivery Date"). This
Award Agreement is in all respects limited and conditioned as hereinafter
provided, and is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the
Program and the Plan now in effect and as they may be amended from time to time;
provided that no amendment may adversely affect an issued Award Agreement
without the written consent of the affected Grantee. The terms and conditions of
the Program and the Plan are incorporated herein by reference, made a part
hereof, and shall control in the event of any conflict with any other terms of
this Award Agreement.
(c) If Grantee makes a deferral election under Section 4(e) of
the Program, the Grantee shall be awarded DERs with respect to each deferred
Performance Share. Such DERs will be expressed as a specific dollar amount equal
in value to the amount of dividends paid on an actual Share on a specific date
(the "Dividend Date") during the deferral period multiplied by the number of
Performance Shares still deferred by the Grantee as of the Dividend Date. The
Committee will apply the Dollar Amount to "purchase" full and fractional
notional shares (on which DERs thereafter will also be awarded) at the closing
price on the Dividend Date. The Grantee's notional shares will be recorded in a
bookkeeping account in which the Grantee will be 100% vested. The Grantee's
notional shares will be replaced by issued Shares ("DER Shares") (and by cash,
to the extent the Grantee's account holds a fractional notional share) and
delivered to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4(e) of the Program on, or
as soon as administratively practicable after, the date the Grantee's deferred
Performance Shares are delivered.
2. Share Certificate. Certificates for Performance Shares and DER
Shares delivered pursuant to the Program shall be registered in the Grantee's
name (or, if the Grantee so requests, in the name of the Grantee and the
Grantee's spouse, jointly with right of survivorship).
3. Transferability. The Grantee may assign or transfer, in whole or in
part, Performance Shares and DER Shares delivered hereunder pursuant to the
Program.

4. Withholding of Taxes. The obligation of the Trust to deliver
Performance Shares and DER Shares shall be subject to applicable federal, state
and local tax withholding requirements. The Grantee, subject to the provisions
of the Plan and any withholding rules adopted by the Committee (the "Withholding
Rules"), may satisfy the withholding tax, in whole or in part, by electing to
have the Trust withhold Shares (or by returning Shares to the Trust). Such
Shares shall be valued, for this purpose, at their "Fair Market Value" (as
defined in the Plan) on the Delivery Date. Such election must be made in
compliance with and subject to the Withholding Rules, and the Trust may not
withhold Shares in excess of that number necessary to satisfy the minimum
federal and state income and Federal Insurance Contributions Act ("FICA") and
Federal Unemployment Tax Act ("FUTA") tax withholding requirements. The Grantee
may elect to have the Trust withhold Shares for this purpose by checking the
appropriate box below:
I |_| DO |_| DO NOT elect to have the Trust withhold the number of
Shares
necessary to satisfy the minimum federal and state income and FICA and FUTA tax
withholding requirements. [THIS ELECTION MAY BE CHANGED UPON AT LEAST 10
BUSINESS DAYS' WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE COMMITTEE BEFORE THE DELIVERY DATE.]
5. Governing Law. This Award Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with, and its interpretation shall be governed by, applicable federal law and
otherwise by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (without reference to
the principles of conflicts of laws).

to be duly executed by its duly authorized officer and the Grantee has hereunto
set his hand and seal, all as of the day and year first above written.
