Rouse, the Trust’s Vice Chairman and Chief Investment Officer, and Patrick Carroll, the Trust’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (collectively, the "Executives"). The Amendments amend the employment agreements of each of the Executives to extend the expiration of the current term from May 3, 2010 to July 5, 2010, so that the Trust has additional time to negotiate the terms of any renewal or new employment agreements with the Executives.
