FORM EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated as of July 30, 1997, between the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, a Pennsylvania business trust (the "Trust"), and Edward Glickman (the "Executive").

("TRO") (to be known as PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. as of the Effective Date), The Rubin Organization-Illinois, Inc. and certain individuals affiliated with TRO, the Partnership is acquiring on the Effective Date 95% of the equity of TRO. This Agreement is entered into in anticipation of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement (the "TRO Transactions"). The Effective Date shall be the date of closing of the TRO Transactions. The Trust desires to employ Executive as Chief Financial Officer of the Trust, and Executive desires to be so employed on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: SECTION 1. CAPACITY AND DUTIES 1.1 Employment; Acceptance of Employment. Commencing on the Effective Date, the Trust employs Executive and Executive accepts employment by the Trust for the period and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. 1.2 Capacity and Duties. (a) Executive shall be employed by the Trust generally as its Chief Financial Officer and, subject to the supervision and control of the Chief Executive Officer of the Trust (the "CEO"), shall have the duties and authority consistent with his office and as may from time to time be specified by the CEO so long as such duties are consistent with his office. Executive shall report directly to the CEO in performing his duties hereunder. (b) Except as provided in paragraph 1.2(c) hereof, Executive shall devote his full working time, energy, skill and best efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder and shall not be employed by or participate or engage in or be a part of in any manner the management or operation of any business enterprise or pursuit other than the Trust and its direct or indirect Affiliates without the prior written consent of the Board, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion. For purposes of this Agreement, "Affiliate" means any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with either the Trust or TRO. "Control," as used herein, means the power to direct management and policies of a person or entity directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the term "controlling" and "controlled" shall have correlative meanings; provided that, any person or entity that owns beneficially, either directly or through one or more intermediaries, more than 20% of the ownership interests in a specified entity shall be presumed to control such entity for purposes of the definition of "Affiliate." (c) Executive may continue his investments in the properties listed on Schedule 1 hereto and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 hereof, subsequent properties (the "Properties") provided that Executive's activities with respect to such subsequent properties comply with the procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees governing Executive's non-trust related real estate activities (the "Procedures") and further provided that: (A) he shall not devote more than an insignificant amount of his time to such investments in the aggregate; and (B) his activities in respect to the Properties do not interfere with, detract from or affect the performance of Executive's duties for the Trust under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that Executive may, on a regular or occasional basis, perform services for one or more entities in which the Trust has an investment. SECTION 2. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT 2.1 Term. The initial term of Executive's employment hereunder shall be two years commencing on the Effective Date and shall thereafter automatically be renewed for additional two year periods unless and until either party shall give notice of his or its election to terminate Executive's employment at least six months prior to the end of the then-current term in each case, unless earlier terminated as hereinafter provided. -2- SECTION 3. COMPENSATION 3.1 Basic Compensation. As compensation for Executive's services hereunder, the Trust shall pay to Executive a salary at the annual rate of $230,000 (the "Base Salary"), payable in accordance with the Trust's regular payroll practices in effect from time to time during the term of Executive's employment. 3.2 Incentive Compensation. In addition to the Base Salary, the Trust shall pay Executive additional compensation (the "Incentive Compensation") for the services to be rendered by Executive pursuant to this Agreement, with respect to each fiscal year during the term of this Agreement commencing after December 31, 1997, such amount to be determined according to an incentive compensation plan to be adopted prior to the Effective Date. In approving the incentive plan, the Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust shall determine that, in its judgment, the incentive compensation plan is reasonable for the Trust and fair to Executive. 3.3 Executive Benefits. In addition to the compensation provided for in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, Executive shall be entitled during the term of his employment to participate in the Trust's benefit plan(s) listed on Schedule 3.3 hereof at the Trust's cost, subject to such (i) co-payments and deductibles as are provided for in such plans and (ii) modifications as shall be generally applicable to senior executives of the Trust. 3.4 Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to no fewer than the number of vacation days during each calendar year during the term of his employment as is provided generally to other senior officers of the Trust, during which time his compensation shall be paid in full. 3.5 Expense Reimbursement. During the term of his employment, the Trust shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder in accordance with its regular reimbursement policies as in effect from time to time and upon receipt of itemized vouchers therefor and such other supporting information as the Trust may reasonably require. 3.6 Options. Concurrently with the Effective Date, the Trust shall grant Executive, pursuant to the Trust's 1997 Stock Option Plan adopted by the Trust on July 8, 1997 (the "Option Plan"), non-qualified options to purchase 50,000 shares of beneficial interest of the Trust (the "Shares") at a cash price per share as provided for under the Option Plan. Such incentive plan shall provide a reasonable opportunity for Executive to earn Incentive Compensation consistent with industry -3- norms for senior executives of real estate investment trusts, the terms and conditions of the Letter of Intent by and between the Trust and TRO dated as of April 16, 1997 and the objectives of the Trust as determined in good faith by the Board and the Compensation Committee of the Board.
